What are your favourite skincare products and rituals?
They can be cheap and cheerful pharmacy faves, or embarrassingly extravagant...
Got a serum or moisturiser you swear by?
An aging-well hack for happy skin?
Something that helps with peri/post menopause dry skin?
An indulgent face mask for your "me time"?
What can you not be without, and what has worked or not worked for you?
My current essential is cetraben ointment... it's bog standard and definetly no frills, but as I'm back on tretinoin its saved my skin from the dry, itchy, flakey stage, and the bonus is that it works on my bf's horrific scaly dry feet
My splurge is NIODs low viscosity cleansing ester, its the weirdest thing to clean your face with but it removes all the crap, and doesn't dry my skin. It feels 'oily' but isn't and my next products apply really well...its just really weird stuff
I just left a comment about Cerave and having sensitive skin, you’re absolutely correct they’re great for it!
I might need to look into adding vit c into my routine. What benefits do you see most if you don’t mind me asking?
If you're thinking about vitamin c start slow and low, it can really irritate the skin, but its amazing for brightening the complexion, fading age spots, as well as helping with some of UV that your SPF misses
It helps with uneven skin tone and hyper pigmentation if I use it consistently. It also is supposed to help prevent sun damage and air pollutant damage, but obviously you still should use sunscreen.
