Dermatologist Shereene Idriss says uneven skin tone, not wrinkles, is the biggest aging giveaway, often starting in your early 30s. The damage happens before age 20. She recommends consistent skincare over expensive treatments, though she does lasers and injectables in her practice.
I have a secret. Contrary to popular belief, the number one sign of aging can start as early as your early 30s. And no, it is not lines, wrinkles, or volume loss. It's an uneven skin tone. You can make the biggest difference in your skin, not through million dollar laser treatments, but by being consistent with a targeted skincare routine addressing your skin tone to even it out. Oh, and I'm a cosmetic dermatologist, and I make a living seeing patients five days a week in my practice, performing lasers and injecting various things in people's faces. But here's the deal. The damage when it comes to an uneven skin tone is already done. It happens before you turn 20 years old, and it's usually lingering underneath the surface of your skin. So if you want results to last, you have to stick to your routine. And for better or for worse, forever.
