I'm a 39 year old dermatologist and here are your top eight tips for skincare in your 30s. Double cleansing is a must, starting with a micellar cleanser followed by a gel based cleanser to get all of the crud off and a white clean towel at the end. Physical scrubs are a huge no no. You might as well be rubbing your croissants with a sponge. What is that? Instead opt for a chemical exfoliant one to three times a week for baby soft skin. 3. Target your skincare routine to address your biggest skin issue. For the record, I have melasma and this is when it was flaring up. 4. Adapt your skincare routine to your climate. Here I was in the desert and needed a richer moisturizer instead of a lightweight one. 5. Retinoid under the eyes to prevent fine lines. 6. Extend your products down to your neck and chest. 7. Rain or shine. Wear the damp sunscreen every single day. It's a non negotiable. 8. Throw out the magnifying mirrors because no one's looking at you that closely and we're all monetiz at the end of the day.
