Not all skin care regimens are created equal, at least not when you’re 40 (as compared to 20). Here, in this three-part series, we start with a step-by-step guide for those lucky enough to be in their 20s.
You may not see any signs of aging, but they’re lurking beneath the surface, so prevention is key.“This is a decade where if we protect our skin from the sun and maintain good skin practices, much of aging can be delayed and prevented,” says board-certified dermatologist Kally Papantoniou. Start with broad-spectrum UV protection in an SPF 30 or higher every single day, and be sure to remove makeup, even after a late night out. Also, adult acne may hit now, so treat without drying out your skin.
Your regimen:
- Remove makeup and cleanse every day
- Vitamins and antioxidants to brighten and repair
- Treat blemishes with salicylic acid
- Moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF 30
