As in organized. Efficient. Regimented. Thesame traits that get you ahead in life will alsohelp your looks. "Staying rigid with yourskin-care routine is going to make your skinlook better;' says Paul Jarrod Frank, M.D.,a dermatologist in New York City.Totalcommitment givesthe ingredients a real shot atworking, and being consistent means usingthe same products daily and in the same order.What you need is a system. Beauty companieshave made this easy with packaged kits thatgive you everything necessary for your skin typeand spell out exactly what to do, So there's notime wasted messing with different products.A few we like: Rodan + Fields Soothe Kit, $160,for sensitive skin; La Roche- Posay Effaclarsystem, $30, for acne; and Olay ProfessionalPro-X Even Skin Tone kit, $40, for antiaging.

2 Put oil on your face. Really.If you spent your teens degreasing your skin,we get that this seems nuts. But unless youstill deal with acne, oils give skin an absurdlybeautiful sheen 'because they sit on top ofit and reflect light. The newest offerings toutantioxidant-rich properties and nongreasyformulas that moisturize naturally. Use oilthe way you would any lotion. "Actually, oilscan hydrate better than lotion because theymimic the effects of human sebum-what thesebac~ous glands secrete to lubricate skin;' .Dr.Frank says. One common face-oil ingredient,squalane, derived from plants, is similar tothe skin's natural lipids. Try Peter ThomasRoth Oiless Oil, $38; it's 100 percent squalane,

3 Don't stop at your Jawline.Neglecting the skin on your chest ages you asmuch as your face. You may be years awayfrom thinking this a real problem. That's great,because now is when you can do somethingabout it! "Skin on your chest and neck tends tobe thicker than on the face but scars more easilyand doesn't heal as well, so preventing damagethere should be a priority;' says MacreneAlexiades-Armenakas, M.D., an NYCderm.And, unless you're going to live in turtlenecks,people see it. ''Women come to me in their 30swith spots and wrinkles on their chest. Thatmakes you seem older no matter what yourface looks like;' says Ranella Hirsch, M.D.,aderm in Boston. The easy fix: Smooth yourface SPF and antiager on your chest, too. Done.

4 Take a vacation fromwrinkle fighting.You know Rx retinoids are like time machinesfor skin. Tons of research shows they buildcollagen to smooth wrinkles, improve texture;lighten pigmentation and unclog pores. (Arecent study in Aesthetic Plastic Surgeryfound that two months of Rx tretinoin-what's in.Retin-As-was as effective at reducingwrinkles as three minimally invasive lasertreatments!) But here's the catch: "Becauseretinoids thin the outer layer of skin, youaren't as protected from the sun;' saysBrandith Irwin, M.D., a Seattle derm. "Stopusing them on sunny trips, and limit youruse to once a week in the summer if you'reoutside a lot:' Then, switch to an antioxidantserum to ward off sun spots and wrinkles.''You'll get the repair benefits of retinoidsWithout risking the side effects;' Dr. Irwin says.

5'DOwnshift the scrubs.Ever since mjcrodermabrasion kits, gels, scrubsand home peels became popular a few yearsago, derms have seen patients' get hooked onexfoliators and their squeaky-clean results. Buta too-frequent "E" fix creates a vicious cycle."It ultimately makes skin drier and, duller. Thenyou think, I've got to Keepexfoliating," saysDr.Jrwin. You actually need some dead surfacecellsto seal in moisture and protect againstsun damage. Scrubbing.daily removes the extralayers of protection before skin replenishes it,leaving cells exposed and allowing moisture toescape. If yom skitl.~Boily, cut back to twicea week with a mild 'Scrub or peel pad, Dr.Frank says.
