ADVICE

Protect Skin From Sun Damage

Avoid excessive sun exposure and always wear SPF, especially before 40, to maintain youthful skin longer.
Seek shade, avoid burning, and disregard the myth of a "safe tan" completely.

ADVICE

Skip 60-Second Face Rub

Split cleansing into two shorter steps: a quick first cleanse to remove surface dirt, and a gentle second cleanse.
Avoid rubbing your face for a full 60 seconds; most skin types don't need that long to cleanse.

INSIGHT

Blue Light Doesn't Harm Skin

Blue light from screens does not damage skin like UV from the sun does.
Marketing around blue light is distracting; focus on sun protection instead.
