Wash your face with a gentle touch each evening
Use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing, especially around the eyes and mouth where fine lines often show first. Irritation can make aging signs look more noticeable, and the American Academy of Dermatology advises stopping products that sting or burn unless they were prescribed for you.

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning
Make sunscreen the last step of your morning skin care routine before makeup. The AAD recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and Mayo Clinic notes that daily sun protection helps limit UV-related changes in skin appearance.
