Shani Darden (opens in new tab), star-appointed esthetician and founder of Shani Darden Skin Care, is someone you can trust when it comes to all things beauty. In the latest episode of Masked and Uncovered, the skincare expert shares her morning and evening skincare routine and what she does every day to get hydrated, youthful skin.

The skincare enthusiast begins her mask session with IS Clinical's Hydra Intensive Cooling Mask (opens in new tab). Darden says she loves this mask for its ultra-hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.

Speaking of her favorite at-home beauty ritual, Darden swears by a daily 20-minute LED light masking session. The esthetician uses the Desse Pro Mask (opens in new tab) in an anti-aging setting to increase collagen in the skin and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Darden declares in the video, "I use this all the time to keep me young."

Darden's morning routine begins with her eponymous skincare line's Gentle Cleansing Serum (opens in new tab), followed by iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum (opens in new tab). For the eye area, use CosMedix's Opti Crystal Eye Serum (open in new tab) to eliminate dark circles and Supergoop's PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF50 (open in new tab) to moisturize and protect skin.

For Darden's nighttime routine, she takes the day off with the same gentle cleanser as her morning routine before using Shani Darden Bloom Toning Essence (open in new tab) and Retinol Reform (open in new tab). A couple of times each week, Darden stops applying Retinol Reform and peels at home with Dr. Dennis Gross' Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel (open in new tab). To keep skin hydrated overnight, she uses Dr. Nygma Talib's Hydrating & Plumping Serum No. 1 (opens in new tab) before concluding her routine with Shani Darden's Weightless Oil-Free Moisturizer (opens in new tab).
