For instance, Susan, in her 60s, uses her sumptuous night cream everywhere but her forehead, where she tends to get oily. Dawn, from New York, applies a pigmentation serum only to her freckles, and her face oil only around the periphery of her face, and her neck and chest.
Why you should try it: According to Jaliman, different areas of your skin call for different types of care. Some areas of your face are thicker-skinned (like your forehead) while other areas are more sensitive (like your eye area) If you have combination skin, use a toner with salicylic or glycolic acid only on your oily t-zone. If you have lines on your forehead, spot-treat them with retinol, rather than applying it all over and risking unnecessary irritation.

Thanks for the good ideas. Drinking tons of water helps as well as moisturizing. Also, I have heard fish oil and biotin are beneficial.

I absolutely concur! I write for another site and just submitted an article stating basically the same principles.

Good tips. It is so hard to not fall asleep with make up on though, especially on the weekends.

I do everything on this list except spf and toner. Never went through the acne phase in high school and breakouts are a rarity for me.
