it doesn't get easier with age. Make it simple with our no-fail,
no-fuss guide to a lifetime of complexion perfection

IOP PRIORITY
FIGHT
BREAKOUTS
THE BARE MINIMUM Step away from your
high school nuclear-grade zit cream—you want
to keep your complexion balanced, not under
siege. "A gentle cleanser and a lightweight hydrator with SPF 15 or higher will restore your skin's
natural oil-production cycle and minimize flareups," says N.Y.C. dermatologist Joshua Zeichner.
To avoid breakouts, smooth on an oil-free moisturizer infused with salicylic acid before bed.
THE EXTRAS
Pimples happen (especially when drinking
and debauchery are in
the mix). Spot-treat
with a proven blemish
buster: Up to 10 percent benzoyl peroxide
or 5 percent salicylic
acid will do the trick
without overdrying
the area.
INSIDER TIP
Dab on acne medication
with a cotton swab, not
your fingertip. The sterile
cotton will contain the
treatment (translation:
fewer scaly patches) and
prevent bacteria from
transferring from
your hands.

zits and calms

healing begin.

THE BARE MINIMUM You wouldn't leave
your iPad screen smudged with fingerprints,
so why would you let complexion-dimming
dead cells linger on your skin? Slough them
away with a sonic cleansing brush and a dollop
of an anti-redness cleanser, advises N.Y.C.
dermatologist Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas.
A sunscreen with antioxidants will keep sunspots at bay; a night cream with peptides promotes the production of new, undamaged cells.
INSIDER TIP
Piping-hot water
can strip skin and
trigger inflammation. Tepid water is
ideal: about room
temperature, or
70 degrees.

THE EXTRAS
If you want to checkyour
bags, look for a caffeinespiked gel, which temporarily constricts blood vessels
to diminish inky pools. (A
rollerball applicator helps
redistribute fluids too.) To
fade melasmaand other
discoloration, treat with a
brightening serum. Natural
lighteners, such as yeast,
are the least irritating.

THE BARE MINIMUM Load on the moisturizers.
"Creams and washes with basic hydrators like glycerin, ceramides, and cholesterol can actually plump
furrows and grooves," says N.Y.C. dermatologist
Frederic Brandt. Older cells are even more vulnerable to damaging UV rays, so diligent sunscreen
use is an absolute must. At night, break out the big
guns: A vitamin A-based retinol speeds cell turnover and improves skin rejuvenation.
THE EXTRAS Layering an antioxidant
serum under your night cream is like
ordering an anti-aging double shot. For
the crepey zone under your eyes, try a
mild form of retinol—the high-test varieties can abrade the thin, delicate skin there

BOOST VOLUME &
MINIMIZE SAGGING
THE BARE MINIMUM Vitamins, applied
topically, are key. Try a nutrient- and
anti-ager-packed cleanser to remove the bad
(dirt, makeup) and leave behind the good
(like niacinamide, a component of B3 that
builds strong new skin cells). Follow it with a
vitamin C-enhanced sunscreen to scrounge
up sag-inducing free radicals. Used nightly, a
product with peptides increases collagen
and repairs skin.

To combat crow'sfeet, add an eye
cream with collagenplumping kinetin to
your P.M. regimen.

Patricia Wexler advises
sealing in all your
anti-aging ingredients
with a thick cream.
"Evening is a great
time to exfoliate
because it really opens
up your skin to other
therapeutic
ingredients."

THE BARE MINIMUM Oil used to be your
complexion's archenemy. Now it's your BFF.
Try a cleansing oil followed by a powerful UV
blocker, as sun parches cells even further.
"Your skin is producing less oil, so it's very
important to retain and give back moisture,"
says N.Y.C. dermatologist Roy Geronemus.
At night, use a hydrating retinol (the one
below has shea butter) and an eye cream with
growth factors to refine tone and texture.
