Skin Type: Combination
Your cheeks feel dry and scaly, while your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is oilier. \u201cThe right regimen will get oil production under control and skin evened out,\u201d says Kenneth Beer, MD, a dermatologist based in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Wash your face with a mild foaming cleanser (foams leave less residue). Look for one that contains green tea, like Alba Sea Mineral Cleansing Gel ($9.95; albabotanica.com), to calm, soothe and give skin a healthy glow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Skip moisturizer in warm weather. Instead, use a light serum with soy to fight aging free radicals, even out skin tone and help reduce acne scars. We like Aveeno Positively Radiant Triple Boosting Serum ($15.50; at drugstores).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. In the evening, swipe on a light, fast-absorbing lotion like Vichy Normaderm Night Chrono-Action Anti-Imperfection Care ($24; vichyusa.com). It tightens pores and smooths out texture while you sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midday Treat <\/em>For a fresh face, dab with a moist cleansing cloth, especially before touching up makeup. Pond\u2019s Clean Sweep Wet Cleansing Towelettes soothe dry areas and remove excess oil (30 cloths, $6; at drugstores).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin Type: Dry
If your skin feels tight and itchy and tends to look dull and flaky, here\u2019s the routine for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Twice a day, use a gentle cleanser that contains olive oil, which raises the moisture level on your skin\u2019s surface. We like St. Ives Elements Olive Cleanser ($6.99; at drugstores).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. In the morning, wash your face and leave it slightly damp. Then apply a product with glycerin to seal in moisture, like Dove Pro-Age Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 ($12.99; drugstore.com).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Boost radiance at night with a vitamin C serum. This powerful antioxidant helps repair skin\u2019s tone and texture. Try Kiss My Face C the Change Ester C Serum ($21; at Whole Foods).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midday Treat<\/em> Keep a facial mist in your bag or desk. The best are rich in antioxidants to fight free radicals. Try Mineral Fusion\u2019s Hydration Mist ($17.50; gloskincare.com).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin Type: Oily
Do you have large pores and find that you\u2019re shiny by midmorning? Try this regimen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use a deep cleanser that contains salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that prevents pores from clogging and dissolves dirt and debris on contact. Try the two-in-one swirled formula of Olay\u2019s Dual Action Cleanser + Pore Scrub ($6.99; at drugstores).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Put away your daily moisturizer and use a mattifying lotion that will help absorb excess oil throughout the day. We love the added SPF 15 in Murad\u2019s Oil-Control Mattifier ($39.50; bathandbodyworks.com).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. At night, spot-treat blemishes with an acne treatment cream. Sonia Kashuk Gone Anti-Blemish Cream contains salicylic acid to minimize pimples and is gentle enough to use daily ($13.99; at Target).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midday Treat <\/em>Blotting papers like Black Radiance Oil-Absorbing Blotting Tissues (50 sheets, $2.99; at drugstores) reduce shine instantly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin Type: Sensitive
If you blush easily, if your skin is ruddy from broken capillaries or if it\u2019s inflamed with dry red patches, sensitive skin is to blame.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Calm your skin by washing twice daily with a gentle, non-soap cleanser like Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash ($5.99; at Walgreens). Rinse with lukewarm water\u2014hot water will just strip away protective oils.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Apply a calming day cream with SPF to hydrate and protect delicate skin from harmful UVA\/UVB rays. Cetaphil\u2019s facial moisturizer with SPF 50 is a good one to try ($13.99; at drugstores).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Repair skin overnight with a cream that contains licorice root extract to help soothe red, irritated skin and lock in hydration. Try Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Night Creme ($14.99; at drugstores).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midday Treat<\/em> Conceal redness with a cream or powder that contains caffeine to help shrink tiny red blood vessels. Clinique\u2019s Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Powder neutralizes skin ($32.50; clinique.com).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
