Do: wear spf all the time, it’s what keeps your skin safe from damage

Don’t: don’t wear retinol during the day, it’ll make your skin more sensitive

When it comes to skincare, understanding the foundational do's and don'ts is essential to achieving healthy, radiant skin. Wearing SPF daily is perhaps the most critical recommendation; it protects your skin from harmful UV rays that can cause premature aging and skin damage. Remember, even on cloudy days or when you're indoors, UVA rays can penetrate windows and affect your skin. Furthermore, integrating retinol into your nighttime routine can greatly improve skin texture and tone. However, it is vital to avoid using retinol during the day, as it can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Start with lower concentrations to allow your skin to adjust gradually, and always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It’s also important not to overuse retinol; frequency should be built up based on your skin's tolerance. Follow these guidelines for a skincare routine that minimizes mistakes and maximizes results.
