After all, as they say, hindsight is 20/20. So we’re asking you to share a skincare tip you would give your younger self if you had the chance.

Anything goes! Hey, maybe your tip will even help a youth in the comments. 😊

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their skincare advice. Eight lucky winners have officially been selected and have received a $250 USD Sephora Gift Card! Head over to the The Sephora Sweepstakes Winner Announcement Thread to congratulate our winners.
I'd definitely tell myself to make sleep more of a priority, and to invest in a good skin care routine because sometimes you get what you pay for. That cheap stuff in the bargain bin at the grocery store is usually cheap for a reason!
I use lotion after showering. Keeps my skin soft throughout the evening and day
I have to say remove all makeup before going to bed plus drink alot of water along use sunscreen
Always, always, ALWAYS use an SPF moisturizer.
Remember to drink plenty of water!
It's just not worth it to get a suntan, use a self tanner as they are so good today, and save your skin. Wear a hat always in the sun and sunscreen.
moisturizing after Cleansing your skin always
Skincare isn't just about facial skincare; it includes BODY skincare as well. Moisturize and hydrate the rest of the skin on your body, not just your face.
Don't wait till you're older to start a good skin care routine, start now! Be preventative about skin issues, not reactive!
MOISTURIZE!!!! Every morning and every night.
Avoid refined sugar and white flour
I would tell my younger sell not to let her skin dry after she washes her face. Skin can create excess oil to compensate, and younger me had a shiny forhead and pimple because of that habit!
Dear younger self. Wear SPF daily, and don't listen when people tell you that you need to "get some color". Your color is red, very red if you don't wear SPF and a hat. Make your parents buy you sunscreen, even if they don't think it's neccessary. It is for you.
I would tell my younger self to always get enough sleep to keep a refreshed look.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!!!
You should never go to bed with make up still on! Always wash you face before bed!
Sunscreen sunscreen and more sunscreen it's important later in life
Always wear sunscreen
