Shereene Idriss gives skincare advice for your 20s: wear sunscreen daily because sun damage is real, and always wash your face before bed. Two habits that matter most at this age.
The top three things I wish I knew in my 20s. Number one. Sun damage is real. You may not see it today, you may not see it tomorrow, but the reason I went into dermatology is because eventually you will see it and I will not need to convince you. But you're just gonna have to live your life to see it in the form of sunspots, wrinkles, fine lines, you name it. Cancer. It does pop up, so what can you do? Wear the damn sunscreen. Save yourself a lot of headache and money down the road on cosmetic procedures. If you just wear the damn sunscreen after you brush your teeth, pop it on your face, it becomes a habit that will be hard to break. Number two, I don't care how wasted you are and it's Friday night. Wash your damn face before you go to sleep. Use a cleanser. Get your makeup off. Because allowing your skin to sleep with makeup and the buildup of the day overnight is only going to lead to a dull complexion over time.
