Expert Advice on How to Streamline Your Skin Care Routine

Make sure the few products you're using are synergistic and that each one is targeting a different problem. That way you get the most bang for your buck.

Zilka says that all skin types benefit from a gentle glycolic acid cleanser, a niacinamide serum and a vitamin C moisturizer. Jenny Frankel, president and founder of Nudestix, likes using enzymatic exfoliants as well as acid as part of a regular routine. Although exfoliating every day may not be necessary. When it comes to moisturizers, look for ones rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, such as Nudestix's Nudeskin Citrus-C Mask & Daily Moisturizer, $38.

Cleansers are a must for everyone. Aharon recommends gel, cream or micellar water cleansers. Lighter formulas are generally better for oilier skin, while creams and balms are more suited to drier complexions. If you wash your face at night, it may not be necessary to give it a proper cleanse in the morning. Aharon says that a splash of water could be enough.
