She may be barely out of her teens, but Taylor’s skin looks flawless!
Taylor Swift, 20, looked incredible Monday, Sept. 13, at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre for the Easy A premiere in Los Angeles. Didn’t she resemble a porcelain doll with skin that seemingly hasn’t been touched by the sun or a tanning salon? Note to all tanorexics, that means you Snooki and Kate Gosselin, Taylor will still look 20 when you look 70. But to get skin that is as spotless as Taylor’s, it is actually caring for it from the inside out, not the outside makeup.
I know I constantly forget to take off my makeup before I go to bed, but it is very important to have a good beauty routine to prevent those pesky breakouts. According to Dr. Steven Dayan, “[Taylor] may use a cleanser and toner, both of which can be helpful.” A great cleanser is Noxema’s Original Deep Cleansing Cream. It is available at any drugstore, it is inexpensive and it does the job. You can literally feel the tingle.
He also explains, “Toners seem to be best for reducing oily areas of the T zones in those who are susceptible to excess sebum production. Toners evaporate quickly from the skin and give a welcoming sensory feeling to many along with providing mild moisturizing.” La-Roche Posay Effaclar Toner is an amazing micro-exfoliant toner that also helps with unclogging pores, and even reducing pore size.
NYC Dermatologist Dr. Neil Sadick tells us, “most people who have good skin use cleaner, toner, and broad-spectrum SPF. Using daily moisturizers are also key to having beautiful skin.”
To prevent aging and to keep skin hydrated, moisturizer is key. Dr. Dayan thinks it is, “likely Taylor Swift with her flawless glowing skin is a enthusiastic user of sunscreens.” Peter Thomas Roth Max All Day Moisture Defense with SPF 30 defends against sun damage and moisture loss. He emphasizes, “Although a modest suntan can give a temporary improvement in the skin’s appearance this is far outweighed by the long term damage the sun can cause to the skin. Sun protection is necessary for all and a SPF of at least 15 is recommended especially one that blocks both UVA rays and UVB rays.”

If you want good skin, eat well. Lots of veggies and fruit. Lay off the junk food!

lol, big deal, she’s 20, it’s hardly an achievement for a 20 year old to have smooth skin. Hopefully she stays out of the sun and moisturizes, bc I suppose she’s a pretty young woman, but already got signs of lines starting under her eyes (I just turned 38 and even I don’t have lines like that that would show up in a med-res photo).

What is wrong with you? She has faint lines under her eyes. So what? What does it matter if you don’t? Are you that desperate for attention that you feel the need to spew out pointless remarks in response to an article about keeping one’s skin healthy throughout life? Grow up, Mom. Taylor Swift always looks flawless and I think she is a great example of healthy skin. The fact that she is nicer than you seem to be only makes me even more proud to be her age and not yours. I hope you don’t raise your own children to grow up acting like you did in response to this article. It’s incredibly immature.
