Back-to-School Skincare Survival Guide | Keep It Simple, Stay Consistent

Dr. Zain hosts Skinside Out with Heather and Courtney to share a back-to-school skincare survival guide for high school and college students. They emphasize keeping routines simple and realistic, avoiding starting many new products at once, and sticking to morning basics: gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. They discuss the importance of not sleeping in makeup, keeping hands off the face and not picking pimples, and showering or cleansing after heavy sweating to help prevent acne and folliculitis without over-scrubbing. They recommend cleaning items that touch the face (phones, headphones, helmets, computers) and not ignoring body skin issues like eczema, folliculitis, and tinea versicolor. They note stress can affect skin and suggest stress management strategies, ending with quick rules including sunscreen daily and that consistency beats complexity.00:00 Back to School Skincare00:39 Keep It Simple01:59 Never Sleep in Makeup04:11 Night Routine Hacks06:17 Hands Off Breakouts07:18 Post Workout Showering08:07 Washcloth Debate08:47 Loofahs and Brushes09:06 Skip the Cleansing Gadgets09:34 Clean What Touches Skin10:13 Sunscreen on School Days10:32 Don’t Neglect Body Skin11:20 Stress and Skin Health12:18 Morning Routines and Workouts13:53 Quick Fire Skincare Rules16:26 Wrap Up and Where to Follo
