The best skincare routine has 3 essential \"ingredients.\" Although these aren't specific ingredients in a formula like hyaluronic acid or retinol, it is in fact necessary that we pay specific attention to these \"ingredients\" or products that our skin will benefit from on a daily basis. Here are the items that we should ALWAYS abide by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Moisturize morning and evening<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Apply sunscreen<\/strong><\/a> throughout the whole year<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Stay away from the most common allergens (Wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, etc.)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What should we look for while buying sunscreen?<\/h3>\n

    Always look at the ingredients first. Preferably buy ones with active mineral ingredients, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. If you want to buy something with a higher SPF (higher than 30%), you will find one or two chemical active ingredients in there. Please see below for possible toxicities.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I would always suggest sticking with the sunscreens with the mineral ingredients, even if it only gives you SPF 20, and reapply every few hours while outside. And always stick with the <\/span>cream<\/span><\/i> formulation and not the spray. Spray formulation uses nanoparticles, meaning that they may clog your pores and, more importantly, be absorbed into your body, causing all kinds of side effects. Even the spray formulation of zinc oxide and titanium oxide can be harmful due to the possible inhalation when using the spray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    What are the ingredients we should avoid?<\/h3>\n

    There are a few ingredients<\/a><\/strong> we should avoid. Here is from worst to least worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n
