This year can be a great time to make changes (like taking better care of your skin), but in order to commit to the goals you’ve set, start with baby steps. Skincare promises are achievable only if they’re realistic, which is why we asked a few best skincare tips for 2021:
Do a skincare audit
Checking the expiration date on all products and tossing anything that’s past its prime. As a general rule of thumb. Use these staples: gentle cleanser, antioxidant serum, mineral SPF 30+ and these for the PM: exfoliating cleanser, retinol or bakuchiol, oil-free moisturizer.
Get your SPF layering in check
Daily SPF is a must for skincare, but you should always use one that is separate from moisturizer. Apply the moisturizer first and then the sunscreen. Look for one that is mineral – ideally zinc-based – with SPF 30 or higher to protect against blue light damage, infrared and, of course, UV rays.
Stop over-scrubbing
It’s great to exfoliate, but not every day and not to the point where your skin stings, burns, or bleeds after you’re done. Use gentle cleansers, don’t over scrub, and moisturize after washing for best results.
Grab a vitamin D boost
Protect your immune amidst the pandemic with vitamin D supplements and foods like salmon, shrimp, and eggs.
Rejuvenate the lower face
Try microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten collagen, remodel adipose tissue, and prevent unwanted jowls. Or you know, if you’re on a budget, then an at-home facial massage can help tighten and tone too!
Avoid dangerous TikTok or Instagram skincare trends
Some of these wacky ideas have included using glue to remove all sorts, making your own eyelash serum, fixing self-tanning streaks with a magic eraser, treating skin cancer with black salve, and the list goes on. Consult a dermatologist before practicing anything on your skin that seems unorthodox.
Start using retinol in the evening
Retinol is perhaps the best-studied anti-aging ingredient we have. It stimulates collagen to strengthen the foundation of the skin, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and evens skin tone and texture.
