(You should be going for an annual mole check anyway!) No major problems? Stick to these basic products:
• Cleanser: "A gentle, sulfate-free wash works for all skin types," says Ava Shamban, M.D., a dermatologist in Santa Monica, California.
• Nighttime moisturizer: Look for emollients such as ceramides and olive or coconut oil. (Try First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, $28.) If your skin feels oily, opt for moisturizers with light humectants such as hyaluronic acid, instead of oil-based hydrators that can be too heavy for certain skin types.
• Eye cream: "Grab a formulation with cucumber extract to depuff.
• Sunscreen: To keep your morning routine simple, choose a daily moisturizer that has an SPF of at least 30.
