SHAVE

Annet King, director of training and development for Dermalogica, recommends you start with a face wash in the shower, then apply a shaving gel, cream or soap and shave with the grain. (Preoiling helps you hack through thick growth.) Finish with a toner, balm or moisturizer. "Get your skin analyzed. Most spas and salons with a professional aesthetician on staff will give you a free skin mapping -- a consultation to diagnose your facial skin -- and prescribe the right products for your skin type."
