SKINCARE DECODED • 44

Phew—we’re only just beginning our skincare journey, and you already

see that there’s no one standard answer for every skin type. It’s all about

your current skin situation and what works for you. That said, we get

asked about our personal routines all the time. Here are some things

we’ve learned over the years.

PERSONAL TAKE

Before I started working in skincare and really learning the

science behind it, I loooved that squeaky-clean feel of soap-

based cleansers. That probably didn’t do any favors for my

dry skin. When I started transitioning to gentle cleansers, I was

skeptical at best, and constantly felt like my skin wasn’t really

clean. In the long run, though, I really do feel a difference in

hydration level. This is especially noticeable in colder months.

When I was a teenager dealing with crazy breakouts, I

would wash my face up to four times a day—It scares me

thinking about how awful of a routine I had back then. But

now, I’ve gone in the opposite direction and keep it pretty

simple. Honestly, sometimes downright lazy—I could be

better about eye-makeup remover. In the morning, a

splash of water to wake myself up, and a gel cleanser at

night. Now I really try to stay away from the cleansers that

leave a squeaky-clean finish.
