Allure's Editor-in-Chief Michelle Lee Reveals Her Key to Flawless Skin

For years, I was a skin-care minimalist. Through college and beyond, my routine was largely informed by my mother's longtime habits: sweep off makeup with a tissue coated in Pond's cold cream; moisturize with Olay Complete. I dabbled in the occasional mud mask and scrub, but I didn't truly get into skin care until moving to New York City in my late 20s. Now I'm often asked about my regimen, and I've become whatever the opposite of a skin-care minimalist is. In fact, you could say my current process rivals the famous Korean ten-step routine.
