Don't forget sunscreen. UVA rays are just as potent in winter. Apply a facial moisturizer with SPF, like L'Oreal Visible Results Skin Renewing Moisture Treatment ($18, www.drugstore.com).

Zap skin spots. If spots or broken blood vessels are a problem, consult a dermatologist about laser treatment. Lasers work best on paler winter skin. "They're attracted to color," explains Ashinoff. "If skin is tan, the laser will often attack the skin, not the spot."

New year, new mascara. If you haven't tossed your mascara since the summer, do so now. Instead of basic black, try an eggplant color, like Lorac Lashes Mascara in Aubergine ($17.50, www.sephora.com). It enhances any eye color.
