“If you’re a skincare beginner and wonder where to start, here are some molecules that offer skin benefits regardless of the skin you have,” she stated. Take a look.
Hyaluronic acid
It locks in moisture and improves the appearance of fine lines. Dr Sarin suggested topping it with a light moisturiser during winter.
