ADVICE

Skip 60-Second Face Rub

Split cleansing into two shorter steps: a quick first cleanse to remove surface dirt, and a gentle second cleanse.
Avoid rubbing your face for a full 60 seconds; most skin types don't need that long to cleanse.

INSIGHT

Blue Light Doesn't Harm Skin

Blue light from screens does not damage skin like UV from the sun does.
Marketing around blue light is distracting; focus on sun protection instead.

ADVICE

Evolve Skincare Routine By Decade

Maintain a simple routine with cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF in your 20s, and add antioxidants if exposed to pollution.
Introduce retinoids in your 30s to 40s but avoid using multiple actives simultaneously.
