Applying sunscreen daily, wearing sunglasses to avoid squinting, drinking enough water, and gently removing makeup without tugging the skin are simple yet effective habits.
Wear protective clothing (scarves, hats) outdoors and apply a barrier cream or balm to exposed areas like the face and hands.
Ceramides are lipids (fats) that make up nearly 50% of the skin's barrier. They help seal in moisture and protect against environmental aggressors, preventing dryness and irritation that can accentuate aging.
For sensitive skin, apply moisturizer first to buffer potential irritation. For faster absorption, apply retinol to clean, dry skin before moisturizing.
