Skincare Tips for Your 20s

<p>Your 20s are the time when your skin is at its best. It’s the beginning of the adulthood stage: fewer pimples, a newly rejuvenated complexion, and a luminous glow. Come to think of it, we’ve all experienced our plump skin era during this time. But how can we truly maintain this vitality and make it last as we mature? Especially now that there is an overwhelming amount of skincare products that are a click away, and we’re easily persuaded by influencer recommendations. We&#x27;re not here for <em>budol</em> culture; we want to get our advice from the experts!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761630876080SnapInsta.to_328361274_919090385792590_1538828037733146796_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">Dr. Cecilia &quot;Che&quot; Bernad</span></span></span></div><p>It’s always best to have preventive measures, even for our skin. You&#x27;re never too early to start caring for your skin. However, having skincare guidelines requires intensive care and dermatological consultation, a step that&#x27;s crucial in unlocking an ethereal glow. The only roadblock to this is the notion that the majority of us Filipinos think that consulting a professional is pocket-draining. To bridge that gap, we interviewed  <strong>Dr. Cecilia “Che” Ramos Bernad</strong> of <strong>DR. CRB Aesthetic and Laser Clinic.</strong> She lent us her words about her expertise in the dermatological field, sharing valuable insights to help us conserve our radiant complexion and guard us from the signs of aging. </p><p>During your 20s, <strong>skin isn’t ready for potent actives yet</strong>. Dr. Cecilia enlightened the youth rushing their way in using anti-aging products, “It’s really too early for people in their early 20s to be concentrating on anti-aging trends. The best advice is to go to a dermatologist and get a proper consultation on the right products and treatments to make sure that the face and skin will be healthy. Afterwards, follow the regimen or the treatments prescribed to achieve a consistent glow,” she explained. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761631046408SnapInsta.to_287572096_389191033174316_2635485250154393731_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>She additionally stressed that <strong>incorporating an anti-aging regimen at this age is inadvisable</strong>. Rather, she suggested a safeguard step that will shield our skin from harmful UV rays from both the sun and the fluorescent light indoors, “The best product to use at that age is simply <strong>sunblock</strong> and a lightweight <strong>moisturizer</strong>,” Dr. Cecilia says.</p><p>Reiterating the proper use of SPF, Dr. Cecilia explained the product their clinic developed, “We at DR. CRB formulated a quick-drying <strong>Sunblock Gel SPF45</strong> specifically for ladies who would like to still have UV protection while layering their makeup on it. For outdoor use, we have a stronger <strong>Sunblock Lotion SPF98</strong> for direct sun exposure,” she followed up.  </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761633152202spf.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>According to Dr. Cecilia, one of the most basic things anyone can do to maintain healthy skin is <strong>regular facials</strong>  for maintenance. This includes moisturizing our skin to prevent dryness and dehydration, and also strengthens our skin barrier, slowing down the signs of aging. </p><p>As for selecting a specific product, she recommended ingredients that are mild enough to keep our skin refreshed and hydrated. <strong>“Niacinamide</strong>, a type of Vitamin B3, is also advisable. It relieves the skin of inflammation, making the skin less prone to acne and rosacea, which that age range usually experiences.” She additionally expounds the importance of nourished skin, weighing on the use of moisturizing ingredients, “<strong>Hyaluronic Acid </strong>is also something I will recommend. It safely and gently hydrates the skin. When the skin is properly hydrated, the skin is moisturized more, giving it a healthier look without any signs of aging,” she concluded. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761631225809Skincare 20s 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Achieving youthful skin takes consistency and patience.

Professional advice is what truly matters, and it’s the key to maintaining a lasting glow.</p>
