Get in the habit of moisturizing twice a day. Use a facial lotion that contains SPF in the a.m. You need to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays—even in the dark days of winter.

Got acne-prone skin? Try a breakout-busting system, like Proactiv. It’s got a cleanser and lotion that contain zit-zapping ingredients. Don’t forget to apply an oil-free sunscreen.

If your complexion is generally clear, use a mild cleanser twice a day to get rid of dirt and makeup. Avoid harsh ingredients, which could actually cause your skin to freak out more than normal.

If your face is blotchy, avoid piling on the foundation. Instead, moisturize skin and dab concealer on any pimples. Blend. Then, use a light mineral powder of your face to create an airbrushed finish.
