Skin. Oh, gosh. If it’s ever been a challenge for you, then you know how much mental and emotional space skincare takes up. The days are probably gone where you could just go to bed in your makeup. And! You’ll soon reach the age where wrinkle prevention will start sounding appealing.
Don’t worry though, there are three really solid options to explore:
- For someone who just needs to look great without much thinking: enter Rodan + Fields. Hands down the best skincare program. It was designed by the doctors affiliated with Proactiv, but made for adult skin rather than teenage skin. You’ll get a custom skin assessment and you’ll be paired with a program that works well for your skin. It’s amazing, it works. The best part is, you can always get in touch with someone with questions or worries.
- For the girl who just wants to talk with a doctor: I haven’t used PocketDerm, but they are dermatologists that will meet with you virtually and then formulate a prescription plan for you and deliver it to your door. The bummer is, it’s not available in all states yet (because they have to have doctors actually licensed in each state).
- For the girl who likes to DIY: You can get to know the community on Reddit called SkincareAddiction. They are a nutso group of people who really have figured out some ins and outs of skincare. Paula’s Choice (if you use this link, you get $10 off your first purchase!!) is a favorite brand of theirs. Also, CeraVe.
- Most of the popular advice is to have this routine and repeat it in the morning and evening:
- Cleanser-like CeraVe Foaming or CeraVe Hydrating
- Exfoliant-like Paula’s Choice 2% BHA or 5% AHA (or both! one at night and one in the morning!)
- Moisturizer-like CeraVe AM & PM
- Most of the popular advice is to have this routine and repeat it in the morning and evening:
I’ve found that whatever skincare regimen you use, nothing is more important than being consistent. I think if you use Rodan + Fields, you’ll be consistent because of your investment (and I think that’s a valuable part of Rodan + Fields. You know it’s working and you keep at it because you’ve made the decision to take care of yourself!
