When should I start using anti-aging skin care products?

” never be too young to start taking care of your skin”Learning proper cleansing techniques at an early age is important — moisturizing, exfoliating and preventing damage from the sun’s rays is important at any age,”

What should my skin care routine consist of to help with anti-aging?

  1. Cleanse
  2. Exfoliate (one to two times a week)
  3. Apply toner
  4. Apply serum
  5. Apply eye cream (if you use one)
  6. Apply spot or topical treatments
  7. Moisturize
  8. Use sunscreen if your moisturizer doesn’t contain it.

What kinds of serums, you may ask? “Serums vary depending on the specific skin concern you’re addressing,” Jaliman answered. “You want those ingredients to penetrate before applying your moisturizer (if you’re using one),” she added. She recommends antioxidant serums for daytime use, while she suggests retinol serums for nighttime.

And yes, the order of each skin care step is very important, she concluded. “[The] wrong order minimizes the benefit of the products being used. You want the full benefit of each product you are using,” explained Jaliman.
