THINK INSIDE OUT  Some dermatologists suggest taking supplements to improve skin. The antioxidant Pycnogenol may help prevent collagen breakdown, Heliocare's tropical fern extract may help ward off sunburns, and blend of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid capsules can promote softness. Check with your doctor to see if supplements are right for you. (Pycnogenol, Twinlab, $40/60; vitaminshoppe.com, Heliocare, $63/60; heliocare.com, Omega-3, $6/60; at Whole Foods. Omega-6, Source Naturals, $48/60; vitaminshoppe.com)

MOISTURIZE AS YOU CLEANSE  "Post-summer skin is often incredibly parched," says dermatologist Patricia Wexler of New York City. "Everyone should switch to an extra-mild and moisturizing cleanser-such as a formulation with olive oil, which is deeply hydrating but doesn't clog pores."  Try St. Ives Olive cleanser ($7; at drugstores).

GO JEWELRY SHOPPING  Makeup artist Bobbi Brown says any kind of pearls and diamonds cast a flattering glow. She swears by her pink pearls because of the way they "magically bring out the pink" in her cheeks.  Ladies, we can ALWAYS use this as our excuse for jewelry shopping!   (Glass Pearl Necklaces, Kenneth Jay Lane, $55.00-$110.00; Neiman Marcus)

STEP LIGHTLY   We all know exercise increases circulation and gets skin glowing. But for your skin's sake, you might want to walk instead of run. "When you pound the pavement, the force of your body weight bounces up into your body," says dermatologist Dennis Gross of New York City. "This jostling can cause collagen breakdown, which can lead to sagging. (NIKE Shox Deliver, $79; nike.com)

ADD POLISH TO YOUR HAIR COLOR  Celebrity colorist Rick Wellman suggests creating complexion-flattering shine and depth by applying a glaze. "End-of-summer hair can start to look pretty washed out and frazzled-which can make your complexion seem lifeless," he says. "A clear glaze or a color-depositing gloss can make any hair color appear richer and shinier-which will help to reflect light onto the face."  Our Pick: Clairol Shine Happy ($9; at drugstores); My Personal Pick: Alterna Caviar Polishing Serum ($29; at www.alternahaircare.com)     (KATHERINE HEIGL's lustrious deep golden locks make her skin look luminous.)

SEE A PRO  If your skin demands more serious attention, Patricia Wexler recommends asking your dermatologist about a session of the new CO2 lasers ($2,000 to $4,000, depending on the area treated) to lighten brown spots and smooth out lines. Expect about two weeks of redness, swelling and crusting, LED (light-emitting diode) therapy can improve radiance and shallow wrinkles in eight to 10 sessions (about $150 each) with no side effects. (I developed a severe problem of acne suddenly and now see a dermatologist regularly. I receive the VI Peel- $300 each, and a VibraDerm- $250 each once a month. It has worked wonders!)

SLOUGH IT OFF  Removing dead surface cells by exfoliating regularly helps skin look its most radiant. For moderate sun damage try a microdermabrasion kit such as Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion for Face ($75; at Sephora;   I use Dr. Brandt and it is fabulous!!!) For severe sun dappling, go for a peel, like MD Skincare Alpha Beta daily face peel ($75; at Ultra).
