Celebrity cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank just released his second book–“The Pro-Aging Playbook”–in which he provides insights about his techniques for creating the best skin at any age.

"I always focus on skin quality," Dr. Frank explains. "Youthful skin is clear skin. Clear skin is beautiful skin. No matter how much Botox or filler I inject, it’s not going to get rid of every single line or wrinkle." Interesting!

So, what can you do? Focus on more pressing skin issues, he explains. "It’s more important to focus on improving sun damage, rosacea, pigment, uneven skin texture, tightening and toning. That’s what’s going to get you great skin now and in the long run."

"You can use certain lip glosses to plump, consider coming in for lip blushing or permanent lip lining," he says. And don’t forget to wear sunscreen protection on your lips to maintain your perfect pout, he reminds.
