Your Guide To Perfect Skin

your skin is still damp "to lock in hydration," says New York dermatologist Neil Sadick. Or, for an instant lift, try Lanc?me Rénergie Lift Volumetry ($88). Finish with La Roche-Posay Anthelios 45 Sunscreen ($27.90).

  IDEAL P.M. ROUTINE: After cleansing, smooth a few drops of La Mer the Radiant Serum ($250) or Sadick Dermatology Group PM Reversal Serum ($48) all over your face for an even, bright complexion. Alternate using a retinoid with an alpha-hydroxy acid every other night to improve texture. Try Dior Capture Totale Night Ritual ($225) or SK-II Cellumination Mask-In Lotion ($75). Apply Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Intensive Deep Wrinkle Eye ($35), which contains retinol, around your eyes.

  DERM TIP: A daily soy-milk compress works wonders for dry or aging skin because it has substantial hydrating and anti-inflammatory benefits, explains Sadick. Drench gauze pads in milk and apply them to your face for 20 minutes.
