Dermatologist Dr. Abby Waldman shared a simple skincare routine for people in their 20s on TikTok.She said cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen is a great routine.She also suggested adding a retinoid to your routine if you have acne or are in your late 20s...

If you're stuck for recommendations, though, Waldman suggested Cetaphil's gentle skin cleanser, or La Roche Posay's purifying foaming cleanser, both of which you can get for cheap at the drugstore...

The next step after cleansing is to moisturize and apply sunscreen, even when it's not sunny outside and these can be the same product, she said.. "If you have oily skin, or your face isn't dry, you can just use a face sunscreen as your morning moisturizer," she said..

On the other hand, if you have dry skin Waldman recommended using a moisturizer that contains sunscreen, as long as it is at least 30 SPF, like Aveeno's Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer or Cerave's AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion...

Waldman said that washing your face, moisturizing, and using sunscreen is the "bare minimum" that you should aim to do every day..
