Month-by-Month Beauty Care Checklist

A year-round guide to looking good.

• Don’t forget sunscreen. UVA rays are just as potent in the winter. Apply a facial moisturizer with SPF 15 to protect your skin.

• Zap skin spots. Consult a dermatologist about laser treatment if spots or broken blood vessels are a problem. You’ll get the best results if you treat paler winter skin: Since lasers are attracted to color, they’ll often attack tanned skin, rather than the blemish.
• New year, new mascara. If you haven't changed your mascara since the summer, do so now. Instead of basic black, try one in eggplant, a shade that enhances any eye color.
