A DERMATOLOGIST has given his best advice for keeping the largest organ in the body in its best condition.
He said there are three rules to live by for skincare, plus an anti-aging serum he swears by.
Dr. Daniel Sugai (@drspf) filmed himself discussing the tips in a viral video on TikTok.
He said he adopted the three skincare steps after completing his dermatology residency.

He added that one skincare staple in particular was a game changer.
READY FOR RETINOID
Dr. Sugai advised using retinoids, saying he first started using them during his residency.
However, he admitted he was inconsistent with his use of the product due to the time constraints that came with his medical training.
First, he recommended the Olay Regenerist Retinol, $27.15, available on Amazon.
He also suggested using Cerave's Resurfacing Retinol Serum for any dark spots left behind.
The serum is currently on sale on Amazon for $12.55.
Finally, he shared his love for RoC Retinol Correxion Anti-Aging Night Serum capsules for easy skincare on the go.
He said that they help with signs of aging and that he uses the drugstore serum to this day while traveling.
FUN IN THE SUN
Dr. Sugai also advocated for a skincare staple — sunscreen.
He said that no matter if he plans on being in direct sunlight or not, he always wears sunscreen.

The dermatologist added that using an SPF is also a good way to combat hyperpigmentation.
He is a fan of the Cerave Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen, $13.84, available on Amazon.
LIGHT AND BRIGHT
Dr. Sugai said a certain serum he started using in his late 20s brightened his complexion.
He recommended the Obagi Medical 15% Serum, $115.
He explained that it is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals from pollution and other sources.
The anti-aging properties of vitamin C also kept his complexion looking bright and youthful.
A 2017 study by experts classifies topical vitamin C as "one of the most powerful antioxidants in the skin."
