We’re not shy about going deep when it comes to topics of soul and skincare. But come busy days — or even the ones when self-care means simplifying your to-do list — an expert-approved list of must-haves is just what the doctor ordered.And, on days like these? We’re super grateful for time with resident skincare expert Dr. Renée Snyder. Here’s her list of must-haves (and do’s) for a no-fuss, super-effective skincare regimen.
“You’ve just got to do it. Especially at night,” shares Dr. Renée.
Listen up, parents: If you’re really feeling overwhelmed, make a ritual of the moment you walk in the door or end your day. Let’s be honest: Carving out some “me” time is one ritual we can all get behind.
“If you’re not going to really clean your face at night — every night — get them,” she advises. She even keeps a set of e.l.f.’s Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths on-hand at home and at work. (Pro tip from a previous interview: she especially loves them for fending off “mask-ne”.)
In case you missed it, sunscreen is for every one of us — no matter the weather, our skin tone, or our skin type. (This way to our in-depth chat about all things SPF.)
One more step to boost your glow when you rise and shine? Antioxidants, which protect against both sun damage and environmental pollution.“Vitamin C and other antioxidants are great in the morning, before your sunscreen,” she advises, noting these ingredients’ instant and long-term brightening, hydration-boosting benefits.

“At night, you need to repair the damage with a prescription-form retinoid like Retin-A or an over-the-counter product containing retinol,” says Dr. Renée. “Both are derived from Vitamin A, which is a great exfoliator. It makes old cells hurry up and turn over. It’s how you get a dewy glow.”
