SPF Is Your BFF
Tip: Apply Sunscreen Every Day
Prevention is the key to maintaining a healthy glow throughout the years. That means sunscreen is your best friend! You don’t need a beach day to layer up—applying sunscreen every day prevents premature aging and keeps your skin safe from sunburns and sun-related skin cancers. Make it non-negotiable for your 2023 skin care routine; it’s a win, win, win! Some sunscreens can feel greasy, which is the last way you want to look or feel. Our favorite lightweight sunscreens for everyday application are EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 or CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30 for a budget-friendly option. Plus, don’t forget to put sunscreen on the tops of your hands!
Sleep “Naked”
Tip: Remove Makeup and Wash Your Face Before Bed
Sleeping naked has remarkable benefits…for your face that is! Makeup residue is an open invitation for bacteria growth, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. That’s why removing makeup before bed should be essential to your nightly routine. Moral of the story: always sleep with a clean slate! The same rule applies if you don’t wear makeup either—prevent build-up and wash your face as part of your nightly skin-care routine. Not sure where to start? Clinique’s Take the Day Off Makeup Remover tackles long-lasting products and La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser removes any remaining residue for perfectly naked skin.
Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!
Tip: Moisturize Your Skin
Winter weather has us all feeling a little chapped, and that’s no one’s favorite feeling. Prevent dry skin this winter with a daily moisturizer! Not only does a daily moisturizer alleviate dryness and irritation, but it can also help battle oily skin by signaling the body to stop producing excess oils. Hydrated skin leads to a younger and softer look! Lather up and wait for that supple, healthy glow. Try Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Cream—the Japanese plumping formula is made with botanical extracts and can be used both day and night.
