Short YouTube clip by dermatologist Shereene Idriss giving two practical skin-care tips: always apply sunscreen last in your routine regardless of texture/packaging, and facial products (e.g., exfoliating masks) can be used on body areas such as sunspots, stretch marks, elbows, knees, or underarms to exfoliate and brighten the skin.

Things that may seem obvious to a dermatologist but are not so obvious to you. Sunscreens should always go last in your skincare routine, regardless if it comes in a serum like this or an annoying dropper or if it is heavier in texture like that. Let's just say the demos are failing today. You always go last with your sunscreen in your skincare routine. The second one that gets me is products for your face can absolutely be used on your body. Take, for example, an exfoliating mask. Yes, it's meant for the face, but you can absolutely use it on sunspots on the back of your hand such as this, or even on stretch marks if you're trying to help stimulate collagen production and help with the texture. And last, you can even use them, for example, on your elbows, your knees or your pits if you have darkening in that area to help exfoliate the skin and to brighten it overall.
