Skin care musts for all skin

The world of skin care gets complicated pretty quickly. If you feel dizzy thinking about serums, lotions, cleansers, toners, and oils, you’ve come to the right place.

While everyone has unique needs when it comes to skin care, there are a few basic products and practices that everyone can try to improve their skin.

The first rule of good skin care is to keep it simple.

According to Khatra Paterson, the owner of KP Aesthetics, it’s best to stick with the basics:

• cleanser

• moisturizer

• sunscreen

• drinking water

• balanced diet

Simple skin care also means using just enough product.

“There are no benefits in using liberal amounts of products apart from sunscreen,” Paterson says.

Lunba Khan-Salim, MD, of Time to Bloom agrees.

“Using too many products can, in fact, cause skin problems,” she says.
