I owe my spotless skin to my mom, who was vigilant about keeping me in the shade and applying sunscreen. And Ive maintained the same SPF-wearing habits in adulthood. Every day I dust a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen powder over my regular SPF day lotion and makeup to deflect light, make my skin look flawless, and add an even stronger protective layer. Its also handy for controlling midday shine in oily skin types. Try Colorescience Pro Sunforgettable SPF 30 Powder Brush, $50, colorescience.com.4 Common sunscreen myths busted.

Switch Up Your Retinol
If you use only one anti-aging product, make it topical vitamin A, which unclogs pores, prevents the buildup of dead skin cells, diminishes lines, lightens dark spots, and makes skin glow. Apply a pea-size amount of a topical vitamin A cream to your face every night unless youre pregnant or breastfeedingit can be toxic to babies.The trick is to switch your potions seasonally. I use a prescription retinol in the winter (Renova is an emollient, moisturizing option that agrees with sensitive skin) and downsize to a gentler, over-the-counter version during the summertime to minimize redness when Im exposed to UV rays.
