For as long as I can remember, Sephora has been my happy place. But I haven’t always known what to do in there, to be honest. In my 20s, I was far more concerned with makeup than anything else and usually just bought basic skincare necessities at the drugstore. Obviously, in your 20s, time is on your side, and you don’t need to worry much about anti-aging and the like, but it’s the decade of prevention when it comes to your skin, and I wish I’d done a little more to not squander that time.
Luckily, I was really good about doing the most important thing you can for your skin in your 20s: I wore sunscreen on my face, neck, and chest every day. (This one is my longtime favorite.) It’s so crucial. But I’ve realized, now that I’m in my mid-30s, that there are other steps I wish I’d worked into my skincare routine so that I wasn’t playing catch-up and doing damage control so much now that I’m much more well-informed when it comes to skincare.
