Do you have trouble finding the right skin routine that would leave your skin feeling refreshed? Well, apparently, simple is better and that’s what Dr. Ellen Gendler recommends.

Why does she think this? “You take less time, there are fewer obvious reactions that you could have, and if you do have a problem, you always can figure out more easily what’s causing it.”

Her tips are simple enough: start by using a cleanser and follow that up with a toner if you’re apt to wear heavy make-up. Touch up and end with sunscreen. The sunscreen does act as moisturizer, so there’s no point in applying a second layer of lotion unless your skin is really dry or you want to experiment to make your make-up glide smoother and easier.
