Dermatologist Shereene Idriss argues you should stop shopping by skin type and start by your actual problem: fine lines, discoloration, acne, or rosacea. She layers hydration from mist to occlusive, even suggesting diaper cream works on your face.
Industry has been lying to you. Your skin type is not the problem. If you're choosing your skin care based on your skin type and you're really not focusing on your skin's biggest problem, you're missing the boat and pissing away money. Because you need to be choosing your skincare based on your problem. Like fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea, and the list goes on. Once you know what your biggest problem is and you know the products that work for that problem, then you layer in hydration. Like you layer a sweater over a T shirt over a tank top when it's cold outside, starting with something super fine, like a face mist to even diaper cream. Face basting is going to be your next best friend. Don't knock it till you've tried it. And trust me, you're gonna want to try it. If you want to learn how to layer, check out my newest YouTube video, up now on YouTube. I left the face Mr. On and my crotch got misted. Don't save it for your crotch, save it for your face. And don't save the diaper cream for your butts. Use that on your face.
