But what about if your skin doesnt have the glow anymore?
Or maybe it’s looking a little dull and you dont really know why.
Could it be time to change things up?
You’ve Been Using the Same Products Forever
Still using the same toner from high school?
Its probably time to make a switch.
You will most likely notice a significant difference if you choose products for your current skin and age.
Remember, no matter what season it isyou still need to wear sunscreen all year round.
Just up the SPF in the spring and summer.
Over time our skin can change, resulting in irritations from ingredients that previously didn’t bother you.
Pay attention to the warning signs and discontinue use of your products, says Soto.
you might slowly one by one reintroduce them to try and narrow down which might be causing your issues.
Soto also recommends checking the label to ensure you arent usingexpired productsbecause that may be the culprit.
Should You Start an Entirely New Skincare Routine All at Once?
I recommend changing one product at a time and not changing your entire routine at once.
If you’re looking to change your entire routine, try one new product each week.
Also, take a look at the ingredients on the products you’re using.
If any have toxic ingredients, switch those out immediately!
