A dermatologist has revealed what she believes is the most important skincare tip you should know – and it’s actually pretty simple.
The surprising information was shared in a new video posted to TikTok by a New York City-based dermatologist. Dr. Shereene Idriss of Idriss Dermatology.
Idriss is a cosmetic expert in “face, fillers and lasers” and is the owner of the eponymous Dr. Idriss skincare brand, so she knows what she’s doing.
“Stop buying skin care products if you want clear skin,” Idriss began. new video.
“Beyond cleanser, sunscreen and moisturizer, the only serums you’ll need will be the ones that solve your skin’s biggest problems,” she said.
Idriss said using these products won’t help your skin as they don’t exactly target the right things you may need.
As an example, the board-certified dermatologist said that if you have hyperpigmentation and you’re using salicylic acid, it doesn’t exactly help.
The same goes for people who have acne and use the active form of vitamin C, or who have fine lines and only use a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid.
She said using these products won’t help your skin as they don’t target the right things you may need.
“You need to learn how to create a skincare routine that’s personalized, hyper-specific, and focused on your skin’s needs, not your friends,” Idriss explained.
“And that’s why I’ve been preaching consistency over intensity every day for years,” he concluded.
Oddly enough, Rhode Skin cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson recently shared similar advice during an interview with DailyMail.com.
“What I tell consumers is to think about what their own skincare needs are and don’t rush to search for the latest trending product or method on TikTok,” the cosmetic chemist told DailyMail.com.
“Focus on what your skin needs and look for products that meet those needs,” she added.
