Q: I can’t find a skincare routine that works for me. Any recommendations?
A: Start simple: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen. That’s the Holy Trinity of skincare. Don’t fall into the trap of 27-step routines unless you enjoy spreadsheets in your bathroom. And please, for the love of all that is dewy and hydrated, patch-test new products—nobody wants to discover they’re allergic to something after they’ve slathered it all over their face. Finally, remember: good skin isn’t about perfection. Even the flawless influencers have filters, lighting, and probably a team of dermatologists named Chad.
