"The less makeup, the better," says Paul Slavin, Managing Director at Estée Lauder who was once Vice-President and General Manager of Clinique Asia-Pacific. "Taking care of your skin provides you with the basics—going for a natural look means having great-looking skin." And to help your skin be prepared for the years ahead, he walked us through some skincare essentials for your 20s up to your 50s. Check them out below:
20s
