Hi! I wrote this up because while SDN was awesome for clothing advice re: the interview, there was very little about skincare or makeup beyond some general suggestions about keeping it simple. I really like when people provide specific recommendations and links to products they like, so that's what I'll do here to hopefully help the next round of interviewees! I wrote it to offer some practical advice for people like me who didn't know a whole lot about skincare or beauty products in school, but who would like to learn how to develop quick, easy, and beneficial routines that you can use to your advantage in interviews and in your early professional career (and beyond, maybe? I haven't proven this myself yet. Stay tuned.)
I also very much wrote this with pre-meds in mind-- everything is fast and easy.
Some disclaimers before I get into it:
I wrote this making no assumptions about how much or little people know about skincare/beauty, so sorry if any of it feels obvious or like I'm talking down to you!
I'm by no means an expert so please correct me if anything is glaringly wrong, or if you have suggestions that you like better than mine!
I'm writing this from a woman's perspective, but I sincerely believe all people should have some sort of skincare routine to keep themselves feeling confident. Even my boyfriend has been with me to Sephora to get some acne treatment advice. And no matter what, put sunscreen on everyday. If you take one thing from this thread, that should be it. Literally just do it
As with any product, try a little bit first on your hand or arm in the store, and then get a trial-sized amount to take home. That way if you react to it or truly hate it, you can stop using it and find another without feeling bad about spending $$!
If you don't normally wear makeup, don't feel like you have to, and definitely don't decide to do it the morning of an interview. You look your best when you're confident and comfortable, no matter what products you are or aren't using.
Any and all dermatologists, feel free to weigh in

I'll add that testing products in the store is not always safe if you don't know the characteristics of your body well. My friend found out about the allergy to some chemical components only when she tried some Arabic cream from a wholesaler on her skin. It wasn't a specialty store, and in fact, she should have been more careful with such a purchase. But after that, all the girls in our environment went to take an allergy test. I didn't find traces of allergies, but I always carry this certificate for any procedure. Before any procedure, even at https://beaulaser.co.uk, you need to convince your specialist of the safety of his actions.
