Take an antioxidant daily. CoQ10 is highly recommended as the most potent. Antioxidants prevent the damage that might occur with further negligence, but they work all through your body, not just your face.

Simple cleansing procedures are important too. No harsh chemicals are needed. Even a few teaspoonfuls of real oatmeal ground up with a little plain yogurt will make an incredibly effective facial scrub that will remove dead skin cells. Rub a cucumber slice or some lemon over your skin for a finishing touch.
