Basics before extra products

AAD describes a simple base: cleansing, moisturising and sun protection. Many different products can increase both cost and irritation.

Read the label

Choose products for your skin type. AAD recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF at least 30 and reapplication as directed, especially after swimming or sweating.

Organisation is part of care

Write down what you use morning and evening instead of buying every new product you see. If you are being treated for a skin condition, ask your dermatologist for individual guidance.
