✨ How to Use Retinol for Beginners - Dr. Himani Yadav's Skin Care Tips!
✨ Retinol is a powerhouse ingredient for fighting signs of aging, acne, and dull skin, but it can be tricky for beginners. Here's how to get started safely:
1️⃣ Start Slow: Begin with a lower concentration (0.25% or 0.5%) 2-3 times a week.
2️⃣ Apply at Night: Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so use it in your nighttime routine.
3️⃣ Layering: Apply on clean, dry skin after your toner and before moisturisers.
4️⃣ Moisturize: Follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to avoid dryness.
5️⃣ Sunscreen is a Must: Always wear SPF the morning after using retinol to protect your skin.
🌟 Remember, consistency is key, but don't rush! Gradually increase the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
