Can Your Skin Become Immune to Skincare Products?

How to Reset Your Skin

If you’re not sure what’s causing your skin to seemingly stop responding well to your current lineup, though, it may be time to start from scratch. “Sometimes the best thing you can do for your skin is to reset, go cold turkey,” says Dr. Palep. “Use a basic cleanser and a basic moisturizer — that’s it.” We recommend the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and the CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Dr. Palep advises sticking to a basic routine for at least a few weeks and then reevaluating what serums, masks or treatments need to be added back in. “Sometimes less is more, so don’t throw the kitchen sink at your skin,” she says. “You’ll be surprised by what you actually need.”
