1

Sunscreen, every single day

en.wikipedia.org

Even when it's cloudy. Even in winter. This is the one I wish I'd started at 15.

3

A plain moisturizer

en.wikipedia.org

The cheapest one that didn't make me break out.

5

Wash your pillowcase more than you think

2

A gentle, boring cleanser

4

Add one new product at a time

Otherwise you'll never know what caused the rash.

6

Stop touching your face during meetings
