[HIGHLIGHTS] “Creams don't work miracles”: four dermatologists explain their tricks for taking care of your skin

On TikTok, there are more than 18.4 million posts with the hashtag #skincare. Dermatologist Alexandre Docampo opts for a “minimalist” facial routine.

Natalia Jiménez, a dermatologist at the Jaén Group, claims to follow a ‘simple’ routine. EL PAÍS has contacted four dermatologists to find out their tricks and what the most common mistakes are in skin care. The basis of any cosmetic routine is made up of three pillars, according to dermatologist Gadea Braceras Rincón: cleansing, transformation and photoprotection. The most common mistake people make is not applying sunscreen daily, says dermatologist NataliaJiméneza, who uses a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen in the morning and at night with a liquid soap or micellar water product in the evening. For unaccustomed skin, I recommend starting with lower concentrations like 0.2% and gradually increasing it.
