Dry skin got you down? Acne flare ups driving you wild? Complexion problems can put a damper on an otherwise great day but they don't have to! Here, our pros, dish out some trade secrets on some of the most common skin issues.

• Great skin begins with a great cleanser. Choose a gentle cleanser that tenderly purges the skin of dirt, makeup and environmental pollutants without dehydrating or irritating. Try Cetaphil or Olivella Daily Facial Cleansing Tissues.

• Incorporating a purifying toner into your skin regimen is essential for keeping skin spot free. A good toner will reduce the bacteria on the skin and help the prevention of breakouts. Try Skin Medica Acne Treatment Toner which includes natural ingredients like antioxidants and tea tree oil.

• Many moisturizers contain oils that make skin greasy and, as a result, prone to breakouts. Choose a moisturizer that works for your skin. Oil free moisturizers are great for all seasons – be sure to read product labels to ensure your pick doesn't contain any hidden oil.

• Protecting your skin from the sun, environmental pollutants and free radicals is fundamental. Sun damage can have various effects ranging from hyper-pigmentation to skin cancer. Protect your skin all year long, the sun doesn't lose its effects just because it's winter. Try DDF Enhancing Sun Protection, in addition to boasting SPF 30 and blocking both UVA and UVB rays, it's formulated with self-blended color spheres that enhance natural skin tones and even out complexions.

• If you're plagued by blotchiness around your eyes, don't despair. Vitamin C can come to your rescue and help make you look well-rested and years younger. Try Prescriptives Vibrant-C Skin Brightening Eye Cream, with micro-optic luminizers that work instantly to make eyes appear brighter. This ultra-moisturizing eye cream, with its powerful brightening complex, combats visible dark circles, the appearance of puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone and texture.

• Of course, what we put into our bodies affects how they look on the outside. This is especially true for skin. You've heard it before but drinking eight glasses of water a day is a simple remedy that truly works. You might also ask your doctor if taking a skin supplement containing biotin would be right for you – it can help boost hair, nails and skin!

• When it comes to treating acne, there are alternatives to the old standby, benzoyl peroxide. Many over the counter products contain acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid, alpha hydroxy, sulfur and resorcinol. If you try a few and still don't get the results you're after, it'd be wise to consult a dermatologist.
