Your skin tells a story: of the sun you’ve soaked in, the care you’ve given yourself and the life you’ve lived. At Resurrect Skin MD, we believe skin health is deeply personal and profoundly connected to how you feel in your own body.
Our founder, Dr A. Jay Burns, often reminds patients that radiant skin isn’t about perfection—it’s about vitality, resilience and confidence. And that journey starts with the choices you make every day.
While in-office treatments deliver bigger transformations, everyday habits are the bridge that sustains them over time. Through decades of experience and innovation, Dr. Burns has helped thousands of patients restore not just their skin, but also their sense of self. Here, we’re sharing simple, science-backed practices you can start at home today.
1. Start With a Purpose-Driven Skincare Routine
Healthy skin begins with consistency. Dr. Burns emphasizes that your home skincare regimen is the foundation of long-term success. Whether you’re healing sun damage, managing breakouts or investing in prejuvenation, every great routine includes:
Cleanse
Choose a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser that supports your skin barrier. Cleanse in the morning and night to remove impurities and prepare your skin for active ingredients.
Exfoliate Wisely
Using chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs one to three times a week promotes cell turnover. Avoid harsh scrubs that can damage the skin’s surface and lead to inflammation.
Hydrate and Moisturize
Even oily or acne-prone skin needs hydration. A well-formulated moisturizer locks in moisture and protects against environmental stress.
Protect with SPF
No step matters more than sun protection. Dr. Burns recommends mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, applied every morning, year-round.

2. Follow the Optimal Skincare Regimen
Crafted through years of clinical research and patient success, Dr. Burns’ Optimal Skincare Regimen supports the skin’s natural rhythm while enhancing the effects of professional treatments. This streamlined, results-oriented protocol includes:
- SkinMedica AHA/BHA Cleanser for gentle exfoliation
- Rejuvenative Toner to balance and refresh
- TNS Advanced+ Serum to repair and stimulate cellular activity
- HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator to attract and retain moisture
- Essential Defense Mineral Shield SPF 35 to prevent sun damage
3. Eat for Skin Health
Healthy skin is built from the inside out. A nutrient-rich diet not only supports your skin barrier but also helps regulate inflammation and boost glow from within.
- Antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, help fight oxidative stress
- Healthy fats, such as omega-3s, help restore balance and reduce irritation
- Hydration supports elasticity and detoxification
Avoid refined sugars, which can accelerate aging and trigger breakouts. Instead, aim for colorful, whole-food meals that feed both your body and your skin.
4. Prioritize Restorative Sleep
Your skin’s best work happens while you sleep. During deep rest, your body increases blood flow, repairs damage, and restores collagen production.
- Get seven to nine hours per night
- Use active ingredients like peptides or growth factors before bed
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and dryness
- Keep your space cool and device-free to support melatonin production
5. Reduce Stress With Intentional Habits
Stress is more than an emotional burden—it’s a physiological disruptor. It can worsen inflammatory conditions, trigger breakouts, and dull your complexion. Small daily practices can make a significant impact:
- Meditate or do breathwork for five to ten minutes
- Spend time outdoors
- Incorporate gentle movement like yoga or walking
6. Stay Clean and Conscious
What touches your face matters more than you might realize. Everyday items can introduce bacteria, dirt and oils that clog pores and compromise your skin barrier.
- Change pillowcases weekly to prevent buildup
- Clean your phone screen daily to minimize the transfer of bacteria
- Sanitize brushes and applicators every week
- Avoid touching your face unless your hands are clean and freshly washed
These simple habits help prevent unnecessary irritation, clogged pores and breakouts.
7. Maximize Results Between Treatments
Your in-office treatments—whether lasers, microneedling, or injectables—are investments in your skin’s future. What you do at home is what preserves that investment.
- Follow recovery instructions precisely to protect your healing skin
- Use barrier-repairing products with ceramides and hyaluronic acid
- Avoid sun exposure and heat for several days after treatment
- Hydrate consistently and reapply sunscreen throughout the day
8. Build a Routine That Honors You
No two faces are the same, and no two skincare plans should be either. Your skin deserves its own strategy, tailored to its needs.
