There’s only three things you need, and any legit dermatologist will back this up.

1.) retinol cream (get a prescription), which will reverse signs of aging

2.) vitamin c serum to help the skin and protect it

3.) sunscreen to protect against future damage. Every day.

Do this for 6 months and you will look great.

I’ve been seeing a cosmetic dermatologist to improve my skin through laser treatments, and they have helped immensely. She did say Vitamin C cream in the morning before sunscreen was the way to go, and then RetinA at night, but not right under the eyes as it can be harsh. So, the above is good advice.

I wore sunscreen sparingly, even into my 40s. That was a mistake. Number one thing you can do is apply sunscreen in the am. I think most women do this as it’s part of their natural moisturizer.

Why?

I think you should first contact a beautician, perhaps she will advise the best care for your skin.

I don't use masks. Only moisturizers. And I change them quite often. Trying something new. maybe I just have good skin

I fell for all that skincare product full of chemicals when I was 17. I don't put anything on my skin except for water. If you want healthy skin EAT healthy and LIVE healthy. Get enough sleep my eyes always look like crap on 6 hours sleep so I get 8 to 10. Go vegan and cut out dairy that wrecks your skin and eat fresh fruit and vegetables they're the highest source of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin E is the one they like to advertise in their skin products but your skin and hair nourish from inside out so consume more Vitamin E 1 teaspoon of sunflower seeds has 100% daily needs for Vitamin E. Don't drink alcohol that dehydrated your skin and kills every cell it comes into contact with. Take cold showers too and wash your face with distilled water, buy a water distiller. Pure H20 no contaminants from tap water. Also choose to be happy no matter your circumstances bitterness and resentment shows on your face.

Olive oil

There's this belief that there is harmful amounts of UV all day, all year round. This isn't true.

In the Summer, if you are indoors from early morning until late afternoon, as many workers are, there is no need for sunscreen. In Winter months, this is late morning until early afternoon for UVA, no UVB.

UVA in Winter can range from virtually non existent to a bit depending on where you you live - but still not a significant amount, especially as you are likely to be indoors in the winter.

Basically sunscreen is only necessary if you are outdoors for extended periods of time in mid spring through to mid autumn (again depending on where you live).

Your skin is beautiful and unique, treat it with quality.

It's very important to make a skincare routine for your skin to be glowing, refreshing, and anti-aging for both men and women. Skincare routine depends on the type of skin and environmental condition. It also depends on the purpose for which you are using the product.

Just like, if you have pigmentation and want to treat it, you have to use the best vitamin c serum in Pakistan that will control the melanin in your skin and make your skin glowing and anti-aging.

Larc offers the best vitamin C serum in Pakistan to treat pigmentation and make your skin fresh and glowing.

Check creams by ASSOS. It's a sport wear and cosmetics brand from Switzerland. Here what I mean - https://www.assos.com/sg/man/extra-collections/care-products.html

another vote for vitamin c and sunscreen in the am, and retinol in the pm. wish I would have started this routine when I was 17.

Don't use olive oil on your face. There are studies showing it damaging layers of skin compared to other oils.

This has to be one of the most metrosexual threads in the history of Letsrun.

I used to think this.

Sunscreen, though, is basically toxic, and overall worse than not using sunscreen. You can be pretty for a time, then have issues you'd rather not have, or just age like a normal human and maybe be okay.

You should go take a real long swim in some very salty water. I once did half ironman triathlon in Galveston. The day before did a 15 minute swim behind a barrier island where the water was incredibly salty. After that i could rub a pound of crap off my face. Then looked like and felt 10 years younger.
