Skincare Series: 3 Essential Tips for 20-Somethings
You’re never too young to get in the habit of practicing a simple (but consistent!) skincare routine. In fact, if you follow these three key tips now, you’ll reap the benefits for the rest of you life. Trust us.
1. Remove Your Makeup Each and Every Night
It can be tempting to skip this task when you’ve been out late, but washing your face before bed is a must when it comes caring for your skin. Sleeping with your makeup on clogs pores, creates pimples, and inhibits cell turnover, which is a must for healthy looking skin. It also exposes your skin to damaging free radicals while you sleep, which can lead to premature lines and wrinkles. Keep a pack of Sephora Express Cleansing Wipes ($9.50) by your bed for those nights when you just can’t make it to the sink.
2. Use a Daily Moisturizer With SPF
Of course it’s key to wear sunscreen when you’re at the beach or by the pool. But it’s also important to keep your skin covered during every day sun exposure, even if you’re not fair-skinned. The best way to do that is use a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30. We love Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 ($32), which is lightweight, non-greasy and packed with nourishing antioxidants.
3. Mind Your Under Eyes
The skin around your eyes is extremely delicate and prone to dryness, so the sooner you start to protect it, the better. With regular use, a super hydrating cream like Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist 24 Intensive Eye Contour Cream ($55) will help keep dark circles, puffy skin and crow’s feet at bay.
