Good skincare isn’t about expensive products—it’s about maintaining overall health. Dermatologists recommend proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, along with a basic routine of cleansing, moisturizing (if needed), and using sunscreen.
Children don’t need specialized skincare products before puberty. A simple, gentle routine is enough unless they have conditions like eczema. For acne, opt for oil-free products like benzoyl peroxide, and seek medical advice if it’s severe or causing scars.
Starting anti-ageing products too young may not be beneficial. Sunscreen is the best preventive measure, with retinoids as an option from the mid-20s. Many expensive anti-ageing creams lack strong evidence, but retinoids, sunscreen, and a good moisturizer are the most effective.
Use SPF 50+ daily, even in cloudy weather. Creams provide better coverage than sprays, and reapplying every two hours is crucial. Protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats and UPF fabrics, can enhance sun protection.
Moles are generally harmless, but any changes in size, shape, or colour should be checked by a doctor. Persistent skin lumps or sores that don’t heal may require medical attention.
