Introducing part two of our three-part series, The Foundation of Your Beauty, designed to help you feel gorgeous from the inside out.

I've been a beauty editor for more than 10 years. Although I love hair, makeup and nails, I consider myself a skin-care perfectionist. My desert island beauty product? Sunscreen (by the bucket). My "plan B" career option? Dermatologist. Other people watch "Big Brother" or "Mad Men"; I curl up with scientific studies instead. Yes, I'm that obsessed with skin care.

So when the team at TotalBeauty.com needed to create the ultimate list of skin care tips that will keep our readers' skin youthful forever, I landed the assignment of a lifetime.

So, here you have it: My essential recommendations, from basic to advanced. If you start today, you can enhance radiance, moisture, evenness of skin tone, smoothness -- basically, all the qualities you long for. At the end of this story is a skin-care checklist. Tape it to your bathroom mirror like I did. (Hey, even skin-care perfectionists can use a little reminder now and then.)
