This newsletter is brought to you by health journalist Kelle Walsh

I own at least 10 skin care products. Of those, I use four regularly, and one or two I apply occasionally. And the others? Honestly, they're just gathering dust.

Today, many of us have a veritable beauty counter in our bathrooms. It's easy to feel that if you don’t use the right serums, acids, creams and masks, you’re doomed to wrinkled, splotchy and prematurely aged skin.

Do we really need all this stuff to achieve healthy, attractive skin?

That’s the topic of Life Kit’s Guide to Skin Care. In this newsletter series, you’ll learn how to create a routine and find products that work for your goals right now and the years to come.

We hope our guide helps you make more informed choices about your skin, instead of taking a throw-everything-at-it approach that can irritate your complexion — and strain your budget.

Expert advice on skin care, straight to your inbox

In this weeklong series, we’ll send you four emails that dive into different facets of skin care. Here’s what to expect:

Email 1: The three products your skin really needs. Also: Can topical products slow down skin aging?
Email 2: What works to move the needle in skin health and appearance? Decoding active ingredients in over-the-counter products. Plus: Are expensive products better?
Email 3: Botox, fillers and more: How to address common skin issues that are beyond the scope of topical products. Plus: 4 skin-boosting lifestyle habits.
Email 4: All about the routine: How do you layer products? Is there a difference between daytime vs. nighttime products? How do you know if your routine is working?

After this newsletter series ends, you’ll receive weekly emails from Life Kit on lifestyle topics like health, money, relationships and more.
