A SKINCARE expert has revealed knowledge about keeping skin healthy she wished she learned earlier.
Her first tip warned against the frequent use of clay masks – a common product for facial care.
First, Amy Chang told her 1.3 million TikTok followers to use clay face masks “sparingly.”
“Be wary of clay masks,” she cautioned.
“Clay is super strong, it can strip your skin of its natural oils, and damage the barrier if it’s used too frequently,” she noted.
“So be careful because it can lead to breakouts.”
Next, she pleaded with her followers to never pop their pimples because it can lead to even more irritation and sometimes scarring.
Finally, Amy said to constantly hydrate your skin – especially if you have acne.

“Your skin needs moisture to heal itself,” she said.
If you’re looking for ways to combat dry skin, another skincare guru previously shared his step-by-step guide to healthy and hydrated skin, which included moisture-retaining ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
A TikToker who works at a dermatology office also shared that her dermatologists recommend always starting the day with a moisturizer that also contains sunscreen.
In the comment section of her video, Amy agreed with a user who admitted they wished they knew the importance of sunscreen when they were young.
Americans do not apply sunscreen as often as they should, according to a survey conducted on behalf of CeraVe.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, sunscreen protects the skin against sun damage.
Sun damage can result in dry and leathery skin, discoloration, and even skin cancer.
