" Latin women have a wide spectrum of skin colors,&amp;quot; says Maritza Perez, M.D., director of cosmetic dermatology at St. Luke&amp;#039;s Roosevelt Medical Center in New York. &amp;quot;There are blonde, blue-eyed Latinas who age like Caucasian women and worry most about wrinkles, and dark Hispanic women with pigmentation issues similar to those of African-Americans.&amp;quot; But the majority have olive complexions somewhere in between, and they experience a mix of both pigment problems and loss of firmness. &amp;quot;Starting around their mid-40s, they get dark spots, under-eye hollowness, and loss of volume in the mid-face region,&amp;quot; Perez says. Your Anti-Aging Regimen  Twice a day: Use a creamy, non-foaming cleanser such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, $11.99. &amp;quot;Though our skin isn&amp;#039;t dry by nature, my Hispanic patients often tell me they were taught growing up to use stronger cleansers like Noxzema. And since everyone&amp;#039;s skin gets drier with age, I find they&amp;#039;re frequently using a cleanser that&amp;#039;s too harsh for their skin now.&amp;quot;  A.M. If your biggest gripe is blotchy skin (an issue for many olive- and darker-skinned Latinas), try a moisturizer containing niacinamide. &amp;quot;Also known as vitamin B3, this ingredient helps to even skin tone and keep the skin&amp;#039;s barrier \u2014 which is the outermost layer \u2014 thick and healthy so it can protect skin better from moisture loss and the elements,&amp;quot; says Perez. Her pick is Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer, $18.99.  If you have wrinkles or early stages of sagging, try a peptide cream, which Perez likes for its firming benefits. She recommends StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate, $135 (a cream originally designed to reduce stretch marks) because &amp;quot;it contains more active peptides than most face creams.&amp;quot; P.M. Use tazarotene, a retinoid available in the prescription cream Tazorac. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s gentler than other retinoids, so it&amp;#039;s less likely to cause dryness or irritation,&amp;quot; says Perez. &amp;quot;I especially like it for Latin skin because it treats all of their concerns: It reduces wrinkles, a big problem for light-skinned Hispanics, and it curbs hyperpigmentation, which is a major issue for my patients with olive and dark skin.&amp;quot; For an over-the-counter option, try SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Night Cream, $59.  For extra help: &amp;quot;Under-eye bags are probably the top complaint I hear from my Latina patients,&amp;quot; says Perez. &amp;quot;The kind we get are from the fat pads around our eyes shifting downward, which causes them to bulge out near the tops of our cheeks.&amp;quot; Eye creams can&amp;#039;t correct this far-beneath-the-surface issue, but one or two treatments with an injectible filler such as Perlane or Juv\u00E9derm can help by filling in the hollowed areas under the eyes, which evens out the skin so bulges are less noticeable. Products to try: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, $11.99; StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks &amp;amp;amp; Wrinkles, $135; Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer, $18.99; Tazorac Cream 0.1%, approximately $300 for a 60-gram tube.
