What does a dermatologist-approved daily skincare routine actually look like? 🫧🧴

As you transition from winter to spring in Iowa, one key skincare tip is to lighten up your moisturizer. During winter, heavier creams help combat dryness, but as humidity rises in spring, switch to a lighter, hydrating moisturizer to avoid clogged pores.
