Step 2: Make your moisturizer multitask.

If you're using a day cream that just moisturizes, you can do better. Along with standard humectants and emollients, look for broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), protective antioxidants (vitamins C and E, green tea, niacinamide), and wrinkle-fighting peptides. (We like L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Day Lotion, $25, and Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Moisturizer + Serum Duo, $19.)

CC creams, like Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF 30, $35, take things even further by delivering a nice dose of tinted coverage and primer-like smoothing in addition to the previously mentioned perks. No matter what, don't skimp on sunscreen -- aging UVA rays are constant year-round, says Dr. Graf.
