"facebook dialogPinterest\n\n \"One of the greatest beauty assets that anyone can have is clear, beautiful, and glowing skin,\" says skin-care expert Jan Marini. \"Makeup doesn't give you good skin--in fact, many makeup foundations simply dull the skin's luminosity and detract from its beautiful nuances and natural coloration,\" she says. Your first step to naturally beautiful and radiant skin is to cleanse and eoliate. \"Eoliate the skin twice a week with St. Ives Microdermabrasion Scrub; it smells delicious and is very gentle on young skin,\" adds Mandy Epley, master aesthetician at Glow Skin Spa in New York City. She also suggests using Burt's Bees Radiance Facial Cleanser followed by Benefit's You Rebel tinted moisturizer. For daytime wear, your priority should always be protection, because the first step to achieving beautiful skin is to ensure that it's healthy. \"I recommend using a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen,\" says New York City dermatologist Debra Jaliman, M.D. \"That way, you'll get a nice, healthy glow, even out a dull complexion, and get the added benefit of protecting your skin,\" she explains.\n\nAnd to get a superglowy and fresh look, New York City aesthetician Andrea DeSimone suggests making your own face mask using banana, oatmeal, and yogurt. \"The saturated fat in the yogurt is great for hydration, as is the banana, and it has a very gentle enzymatic eoliation as well, which breaks down dead skin cells.\" DeSimone says. \"The granulation of the oatmeal also works as a gentle manual eoliator.\" Here's how you can make the mask at home: Mash one ripe banana. Mix thoroughly with one tablespoon of almond meal or oatmeal. Add in two tablespoons of plain, high-fat yogurt. Spread onto face and neck. Allow to sit for five to ten minutes, then remove with warm water--and enjoy your naturally beautiful, glowing skin!\n\n --Allie Vasilakis, Beauty and Health Intern"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
