3 Skincare Facts To Know In Your 20s Part 1 #shorts

Three things I wish I knew in my 20s coming from a 39 year old board certified dermatologist. Number one, when it comes to sunspots and hyperpigmentation, the damage is done before you turn 20. But that doesn't mean you need to piss your 20s away and go running around naked in the sun. Save that for your 70s. Use your 20s to proactively get used to good habits that will protect your skin in the long run so you, my friend, will not need to be spending thousands of dollars on laser treatments down the road. How do you create that habit? Wear the damn sunscreen every single day. Because a good habit is harder to break than not having a habit at all. Number two, Incorporate an antioxidant in your routine. And that's not limited just to vitamin C. Other antioxidants exist on the market, including zinc niacinamide, licorice root extract, and even alpha arbutin.
