is important for men and women of all ages, although it will vary
throughout the years.
TEENAGE YEARS
When starting your first skincare routine, it’s important to first
determine your skin type. It’s pretty simple to figure out whether oily,
dry, or combination. Between breakouts and blemishes, think about
how your skin feels on a day-to-day basis. Here are some do’s and don’ts

• DO: Look for a moisturizer or foundation that has SPF! It is
important to keep a product with SPF on whenever you go outside
to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun in the

whiteheads and blackheads, resist the urge! This could lead to long-
term, damaging effects on your skin.
• DON’T: Leave makeup on overnight. As tempting as it is to
crash after a long day, make sure to give your pores a rest from
makeup. Makeup-removing wipes are a quick alternative to at
