A cleanser is key to help eliminate makeup, oil and buildup, a moisturizer helps to keep the skin hydrated and healthy and a sunscreen protects that skin from UV damage. Once you have the basics, you can develop an AM and PM routine made of 3-4 simple steps, incorporating a serum to provide added benefits to the skin." - Dr. Garshick

Routine Steps by Dr. Garshick

Blueberry Cleanser: "Focus on a cleanser that is gentle enough that will effectively but gently remove impurities from your day. When selecting a cleanser, you want one that will gently but effectively remove impurities and buildup from the day without drying out the skin or stripping the skin of its natural oils."
Avocado Serum: "This soothing serum is gentle on the skin and helps to support and strengthen the skin barrier to protect the skin from external irritation. It is lightweight while delivering antioxidants and calming and hydrating ingredients, including avocado butter, avocado extract and allantoin to help smooth and soften the skin while also calming redness. It can be used 1-2 times per day and is best applied after cleansing/toning and prior to moisturizing."
Watermelon Dew Drops: "Containing niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, this serum helps to improve skin tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, while also hydrating the skin, helping to visibly brighten the skin. It is a great way to give your skin a glow and can be applied daily prior to moisturizing, but can also work to add a little glow to your makeup routine."
Plum Cream: "This hydrating cream both hydrates and plumps as it contains Hyaluronic Acid, a humectant that helps to boost moisture as well as polyglutamic acid which works with hyaluronic acid and helps to lock moisture in, without leaving the skin greasy or sticky. Pairing these 2 ingredients helps enhance the amount of moisture being drawn into the skin, which is an essential part of healthy-looking skin."
Watermelon SPF: Any skincare routine should incorporate sunscreen because it provides protection. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so providing protection early on has long term benefits so it is important to make sunscreen part of your daily routine. Providing SPF 50, broad-spectrum coverage, this sunscreen is a great option for daily use. It is also non-comedogenic and won’t clog the pores, making it a great option for all skin types.

Q&A with Dr. Garshick

Do you need to differentiate between an AM and PM routine?

"Depending on your skincare concern, it may be important to distinguish your AM routine and your PM routine. For example, an AM routine can be designed to protect and prevent, using ingredients that protect your skin from environmental stressors throughout the day, while your PM routine can be used to repair and restore, allowing the skin to recover."

What are the differences in how you treat younger vs more mature skin?

"When we are younger, it is important to remember to protect the skin and prevent damage before it occurs. This means helping to protect the skin against UV damage and supporting the skin barrier to help keep the skin glowing. Additionally, when we are younger we are more likely to experience increased sebum and oil production, making it important to help eliminate excess oil when possible. As we age, our skin barrier weakens and we lose moisture and the skin may start to feel and look more dry and dull. Skin cell turnover also slows down as we get older, so those with mature skin may look for products that deeply hydrate and moisturize the skin, while also helping to exfoliate."

When looking for a moisturizer, what are some key things to consider?

"When looking for a moisturizer, it is important to look at the ingredients. Look for products containing humectants like hyaluronic acid, which help to draw moisture in, as this helps to hydrate, while also plumping the skin. While it is important for those with all skin types to use moisturizer, if you are oily or acne-prone, it may be important to look for a product that is lightweight and oil-free so it won’t clog the pores."

Why are treatments/serums important to include in a routine at any age?

"Serums help to deliver key active ingredients, such as antioxidants, exfoliating and hydrating ingredients to the skin making them a helpful addition to a skincare routine at any age. They are easy to layer into a morning or evening skincare routine and are best applied after cleansing/toning and prior to moisturizing."
