Who's ready for a new year?
Who's ready to keep it simple this year?
Dr. Cristi Gomez, Director of Product Safety and Environmental Toxicology, and David Gan, Senior Principal Scientist, Skin Research and Technology answered questions for 2021.
Q: Why do I need a skin care routine?
Christi: Skin is the largest organ, made up of millions of skin cells, and it renews itself every 28 hours. That's a lot to take care of, and a skin care routine helps do that.
Q: I don't like a lot of steps in my daily routine. What is the bare minmum I should do?
David: At the very least cleanse and moisturize each morning and night. Also use suncreen to decrease the risk of skin cancer. Tip: Use a moisturizer with SPF to avoid an extra step.
Q: Why is cleansing important?
Cristi: Washing your face morning and night helps remove makeup, dirt, grime and impurities that can lead to blocked pores and breakouts. Makeup tends to migrate to our fine lines and creases while we sleep. You will wake up looking fresher if you remove makeup and the day's dirt and grime at night.
Q: Why is moisturizing important?
David: Our skin naturally produces oil to moisturize itself, but it's important to replenish moisture after cleansing skin. Skipping moisturizer can lead to extra oil production or dry skin. If you have oily skin, an oil-free moisturizer can be a good option.
