Houston sits at about the same latitude as Cairo, and the sun here doesn't take winters off. The secret to great Houston skin isn't a 12-step routine. It's a few steps done every day.
Morning
- A gentle cleanser.
- A lightweight serum (vitamin C is a popular pick for brightness).
- A gel-cream moisturizer that won't feel heavy in humidity.
- Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, every single day. Reapply when you're outdoors.
Night
- Double cleanse if you wore sunscreen and makeup.
- Treatment of choice.
- A richer moisturizer in the dry winter months.
Makeup that lasts
Swap heavy foundation for a skin tint, set the T-zone with a light powder and mist on a setting spray. Cream blush melts beautifully into skin and looks fresh, not frosted.
As always, if you have specific skin concerns, a board-certified dermatologist is your best friend.
