BRIGHTEN UP

Exfoliating salicylic acid and vitamin A in Dermalogica AGE Smart MultiVitamin Thermafoliant (dermalogica.com for locations) polish skin and soften wrinkles.

DEEP CLEAN PORES

Gentle microbeads in Olay Warming Deep Purifying Cleanser lift away dead cells, dirt, and makeup; green tea imparts a smooth finish.

SLIM A DOUBLE CHIN

New creams containing Ovaliss, a complex of ingredients that burn fat and inhibit the formation of new fat cells, may improve your profile.

In a recent study, topically applied Ovaliss noticeably reduced chin fat by more than 10 per cent in seven out of 25 women.

Fair warning: The other 18 saw less than a 6 per cent improvement.

Find Ovaliss in Elysee YouthSpan Resculpting Concentrate (elyseecosmetics.com) and Isomers Laboratories Neck & Chin Firming (amazon.com).
