20s
Attention, dewy young beauties: This is the most important decade for your skin. The way you care for it now can determine how it will look for the rest of your life. Because it's probably at its healthiest, with great collagen support, your skin is supple. Whatever sun damage you may have has likely not yet started to show, and light reflects off the plump surface of your cheeks, giving you a glow. "The number one complaint in the 20s is pimples," says Boston dermatologist Ranella Hirsch, MD. "They can certainly be the result of acne but are often due to using too many products, which can damage the skin's protective barrier. Treating skin gently with a few products is best."
YOUR NO-FAIL PLAN
CLEANSER: "Choose a mild formula that cleans without irritating," Lupo says. Our go-to is Cetaphil Hydrating Foaming Cream Cleanser ($15; drugstores). If you have breakouts, she suggests the three-step La Roche-Posay Effaclar Acne Treatment System ($34; larocheposay.us), which includes a salicylic acid cleanser. (Note that if acne doesn't clear up in three months, a dermatologist can discuss pro options.)
MORNING STEPS: Focus on preventing damage. "You don't need extensive wrinkle creams in your 20s," says Hirsch. Pick a moisturizer with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or above. Apply it all over your face, neck, and chest. (This is critical no matter your age.) Also: "It's not too soon to start using antioxidants to further neutralize UV-induced damage," Lupo says. La RochePosay Anthelios AOX Antioxidant Serum ($45; laroche-posay.us) has vitamin C.

We all loved Oprah's Book Club selections this year (did you read them all?), but here are our editors' favorite standouts on the shelves-from the thoughtprovoking to the heartwarming to the hilarious.
The Summer I TOOK My Mom "HOME"
Whenever I tell people about the Last Trip Home I took to Italy with my 87-year-old mother and my older son last summer, everyone has the same response (\"Awwww...\"), which makes me feel like a fraud because I know they're imagining some gauzy scene. And to be fair, I'd tried to plan it that way.
