"Perfect Your D&amp;amp;eacute;colletage Stretch marks or dark spots are common, even among young women. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t sweat &amp;amp;#8216;em&amp;amp;#8212;they&amp;amp;#8217;re natural&amp;amp;#8212;but for big strapless-dress moments, try a foundation spray, says Victoria&amp;amp;#8217;s Secret makeup artist Jackie Gomez, or use what&amp;amp;#8217;s left on your foundation brush to even out your skin tone on your breasts or arms. A good spritzable base: Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Airbrush Spray Makeup.

NEXT: Don&amp;amp;#8217;t Forget the Basics&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;#8220;My skin is the one thing I always have on. When it looks healthy,I feel pretty. &amp;amp;#8221;&amp;amp;#8212;Our model, Kaone Kario Don&amp;amp;#8217;t Forget the Basics &amp;amp;#8220;You&amp;amp;#8217;ve heard this before, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s worth repeating: Water and sleep are essential to looking your best every day,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dutu. And neither one will cost you a dime. NEXT: Soften Little Rough Spots&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Soften Little Rough Spots Elbows and knuckles are people too! To pamper these and other neglected zones, &amp;amp;#8220;use a microdermabrasion cream or exfoliator twice a week,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dutu. NEXT: Your Allover Sexy Skin Plan&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Your Allover Sexy Skin Plan Three Rules For Your Face 1. Protect and prevent. The number-one must-do: Wear sunscreen! &amp;amp;#8220;So many people do aggressive things like peels, resurfacing and lasers,&amp;amp;#8221; says Boston-based dermatologist Ranella Hirsch, M.D. &amp;amp;#8220;But if you&amp;amp;#8217;re not wearing sunscreen, you&amp;amp;#8217;re not doing much.&amp;amp;#8221; Rub a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen or moisturizer onto your face daily to fight sun damage. Look for one with antioxidants like green tea, coffeeberry or vitamin A or C; try Origins A Perfect World SPF 35 UV Face Protector. &amp;amp;#8220;You know how at Jamba Juice they ask you if you want an extra boost? Well, antioxidants are like the extra boost of protection,&amp;amp;#8221; Dr. Hirsch explains. 2. Keep pores clean. Even the best skin care ingredients won&amp;amp;#8217;t work well unless they&amp;amp;#8217;re applied to a clean face. Wash morning and night, and be sure to take off your makeup before you hit the gym. 3. Squeeze in some happy time. Destressing will help your skin stay clearer and glowier. &amp;amp;#8220;Your skin reflects where your head is at,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dr. Hirsch. &amp;amp;#8220;Living a content life does things for your skin no money can buy.&amp;amp;#8221; Three Rules For Your Neck and Chest 1. Pretend they&amp;amp;#8217;re your face! &amp;amp;#8220;The d&amp;amp;eacute;colletage is the forgotten area,&amp;amp;#8221; says New York dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, M.D. Even women who wear SPF on their face daily forget that their chest and neck are just as exposed. So apply the same sunscreen- antioxidant combo as on your face; it&amp;amp;#8217;ll do the job a few inches down. 2. Combat chest breakouts. Got chestne? &amp;amp;#8220;Use a wash with salicylic acid instead of regular soap,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dr. Hirsch. One we like is Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash. And know that wearing sweaty gym clothes for hours can clog pores. Shower with an antibacterial soap after your workout, then run your three thousand errands. Body moisturizers with niacinamide (we like Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Body Lotion) can also work to calm redness and inflammation, says Dr. Waldorf. 3. Firm up. A cream with caffeine can help your bust look perkier and tighten skin temporarily. &amp;amp;#8220;It&amp;amp;#8217;s great for a night out,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dr. Hirsch, &amp;amp;#8220;but doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t provide long-term effects.&amp;amp;#8221; And Two Rules For Your Legs&amp;amp;#8230; 1. Even out your skin. Got dark spots or uneven patches? Give your legs a weekly rubdown with an exfoliator that contains lactic acid or alpha hydroxy acid. They both speed up cell turnover to uncover fresher skin faster. Another great leg slougher: shaving. &amp;amp;#8220;You&amp;amp;#8217;re taking off layers of the epidermis, too,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dr. Hirsch. &amp;amp;#8220;I always tell women to shave before self-tanning.&amp;amp;#8221; 2. Scar-proof your legs. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re prone to bug bites, avoid perfume, scented lotions and other products, and bright clothing when you&amp;amp;#8217;re planning to spend time outdoors&amp;amp;#8212;they attract insects. Replace your razors often to avoid nicks, and don&amp;amp;#8217;t scratch bumps or dry spots. &amp;amp;#8220;That&amp;amp;#8217;s what causes an inflammatory response&amp;amp;#8221; that makes you itch more, says Dr. Hirsch. To fade existing scars, try a treatment like Mederma Scar Cream + SPF 30. You may start to see results within 10 weeks. &amp;amp;#8230;And Your Back 1. Keep bacne in check. If back breakouts are more than an occasional issue, use that salicylic acid cleanser, but otherwise, &amp;amp;#8220;a bar of Lever 2000 will work just fine,&amp;amp;#8221; says Dr. Hirsch. And when you condition your hair, rinse thoroughly&amp;amp;#8212;rich moisturizers may lead to zits. 2. Slough skin in the shower. Exfoliating your back is tricky&amp;amp;#8212;no wonder it&amp;amp;#8217;s often neglected. Dr. Hirsch&amp;amp;#8217;s tip: Spread scrub onto the wall of your shower, lean back against it and wiggle. Try a rich exfoliator with smooth, round beads for gentle scrubbing. A good one is Aveeno Positively Nourishing Smoothing Body Wash."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
