How to get glowing skin like your favorite red carpet celebs? Dr. Josh Zeichner offers up some simple tips for healthy, beautiful skin.

"You don't have to spend a fortune to get great skincare." Dr. Zeichner says look no further than your local drugstore. And remember hydration is key so when you're scoping out the aisles look for moisturizers with the right ingredients.

Take your jar of moisturizer, turn it over and read the ingredient list. Dr. Zeichner says to look for, "petrolatum, glycerin and dimethicone," and if it contains those three, then you know it's a quality product.

A favorite of celebs and derms alike is Cetaphil(R) Moisturizing Cream. Dr. Zeichner says, "it's great for those with the most sensitive or dry skin, even eczema or psoriasis."

Pick up a jar at CVS...you won't just be giving back to your skin you'll also be helping others. $1 of each purchase will go to support Camp Wonder... a summer camp set up to give patients with serious skin conditions, one week of a normal camp experience.

Other skin tips? Dr. Zeichner recommends taking short showers, ideally, 5-10 minutes,...and change the water temperature to luke warm, instead of hot. "Hot water over long periods of time can strip our skin of oils that help moisturize it."

Also pat dry instead of rubbing to prevent irritation, and when you apply moisturizer make sure your bathroom door is closed. "It helps keep the humidity in the air so you can lock in that hydration," says the doc.
