TIP #61 Skincare: what are you doing to prevent wrinkles?


The number-1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage, so it's important to use sunscreen even in winter and on cloudy days. A great tip is to purchase two moisturizers: One for night and one for day that has at least an SPF15 UV protection. Don't use moisturizers with sunscreen at night, they are not meant to be used 27/7 and the ingredients can aggravate skin.
