A dermatologist shares the ultimate easy skin care routine — and it's just 3 steps

While you might think adding more products to your routine will ultimately lead to a better complexion, healthy skin doesn't necessarily require a 10-step regimen. "Most skin types can generally follow a routine of three steps in the morning and three in the evening," Dr. Debra Wattenberg, a New York City-based dermatologist explains. Read on for the three steps she recommends.

Three - Step Skincare

Step 1: Cleanse

Cleansers are an important part of a skin care routine, but according to Wattenberg, people don't always apply them correctly.

Wattenberg recommends this jelly-textured gel cleanser from Drunk Elephant in the morning and evening for normal skin. Perfect for removing makeup without drying out skin, it's free of harsh chemicals and is said to work on most skin types.

Step 2: Target specific skin issues

According to Wattenberg, targets are products that contain active ingredients (like retinol, salicylic acid and more) used to target a specific skin area. Most products are highly concentrated and work under a "less is more" approach.

This potent serum from Drunk Elephant uses vitamin C to help with uneven skin tone and make skin firmer. Packed with antioxidants, it seems like a great treat for your skin.
