When it comes to skin care routines, experts say the best approach is to keep it simple.

Dermatologists are warning their patients not to follow advice from social media posts on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram. they say products with high price tags – such as red-light therapy masks – may not help your skin, and might even harm it. The doctors are advising people to get back to the basics, which include a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen with at least spf 30. Also, while retinol creams and chemical exfoliants can help smooth out wrinkles, they should be used with caution. The experts are warning consumers not to be misled, saying many of the more expensive products contain the same ingredients as the much cheaper ones.
