The Best Skincare Routine, According To A Dermatologist

When it comes to caring for your skin, there is an influx of information about the best morning and evening skincare routines. It all can get easily overwhelming (Do you use retinol before or after moisturizer? How many products are too many?) To get this all wrinkled out (pun intended) we went straight to an expert for the most effective steps to take to achieve—and maintain—that youthful glow, plus we pulled together some of our favorite editor-approved products to help get the job done.

According to Dr. Paul Jerrod Frank, Cosmetic Dermatologist, Chief Medical Officer and Founder of PFRANKMD, it is best not to overcomplicate it. “Go back to the basics. All you need is cleanser, moisturizer and sun protection,” he says. “It’s about the rule of KISS, which I discuss in “The Pro-Aging Playbook”—Keep It Simple, Stupid.” Dr. Frank says a common misconception is that you need a myriad of products to achieve your best skin—product excess is actually the number one mistake.

“Whether it is skin care, cosmetic procedures, nutrition, exercise or professional endeavors, life doesn’t have to be so complicated to achieve results,” says Dr. Frank. Here are a few useful products to help streamline your skin care in our world of excess content.

Start With A Cleanser: Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser

First, rinse skin with lukewarm water. Then, apply a cleanser suited for your skin type. Look for a formula with AHA's for cell turnover for oily or lackluster skin or an oil cleanser for drier skin types, recommends Dr. Frank. Make sure you massage the formula in gentle, circular motions over your face and neck. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

For that pesky dull and congested skin, this lathering cleanser utilizes the exfoliating powers of glycolic acid to leave skin radiant and smooth and help eat away at that top layer of dead skin that often causes a dull appearance.

Apply Sunscreen In The Morning: Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40

It might seem like overkill, but it is essential to apply sunscreen every morning all year long, even in the middle of winter when the sun is far from shining. Look for a formula that says “broad spectrum," which means UVB and UVA coverage and SPF 30 or above. Dr. Frank recommends applying sunscreen after moisturizer has soaked in. Supergoop's Unseen Sunscreen is an innovative, antioxidant-rich multitasker has a unique oil-free formula that glides onto skin while providing broad spectrum SPF 40 protection.
