Summer Skincare

CLEANSE "Exfoliation is key. It gets rid of the dead skin cells, which are very prevalent for women in this age bracket,” says Wexler. The Wexler Microexfoliation and Microdermabrasion System ($65 for both, bathandbodyworks.com)—which Brinkley loves—should be used in the shower to restore moisture and even hyper-pigmentation.
WEAR Wexler has a summertime don't for the over 50 set: Sunless tanner, which stains brown spots and creases. Opt instead for a washable body bronzer like Perfekt Body Perfection Gel ($48, perfektbeauty.com), which comes in four flattering colors.
REPAIR Mature skin gets blotchy and uneven in the summer months. Wexler recommends skin-lightening hydroquinone to even out irregular pigmentation. Be sure you select one with a 4% or less concentration like Obagi Nu Derm Blender ($82, obagi.com to find a doctor near you)—otherwise the formulas can cause skin sensitivity, and may increase vulnerability to UV damage.
