Cheat Sheet

1 Smooth a cream cleanser over your face and neck to remove dirt and makeup. (Formulas that lather tend

to dry out the skin.) If you're prone to acne, choose one with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to unclog pores. 2 Limit showers and baths to 15 minutes, and make sure they're warm rather than hot. 3 Once a week, slough off dead skin cells with a granular scrub on the T-zone and across the cheeks. Alternatively, women with dull skin may prefer to

use a light at-home peel. 4 Exfoliate the body more often -- a loofah or an oil-based salt or sugar scrub used in the shower two or three times a week will soften and smooth skin. 5 While the face is still damp, apply a generous amount of moisturizer. For day, make sure the formula has

SPF. For night, choose a formula with supermoisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. 6 Morning and night, smooth lotion all over to keep your body soft. If skin is very dry post-shower,

apply body oil before lotion when skin is still damp. On reverse: Cotton spandex tank by Gap.
