My skin is a hot mess right now because Iāve been doing so much work.
But I would say #1 is the wear sunscreen daily. Especially if you are naturally pale.
Then you want a day time and night time moisturizer for you skin type.
A good cleanser and never go to be with makeup on.
Wash your face in the morning with ice cold water to close your pores and warm (not hot) at night to open them before you use a toner.
You are still young so you could do an eye cream but really sunscreen will do more until you hit 30.
Face and eye masks as needed. Sometimes I use them every other day sometimes weekly.

I like simplicity and people saying you need like 10 different products throughout the day are š¤Æ Cleanser, toner, moisturizer, serums, sunscreen, masks, etc just stop š Plus you gotta experiment different products in each category before you find what suits you! What's your daily/weekly routine and what products do you use?
I donāt do shit! I guess I am blessed with skin that doesnāt need anything.
I canāt stand all you just mentioned...
Like...why? Because itās exist and someone has to pay for it?
I am ordering samples from time to time but nothing really does anything to my skin.
I cook from scratch.
I drink water.
I smoke...š¤·āāļø
And I do t think Iād inherited it because my mom is the one who is soaking herself in anything she can get her hands on...her shower routine is 2 hours.
And she doesnāt have my skin. Hers is too dry and paper thin...
I donāt know...all I need is lipstick. Nude or pink perly...click to expand

Finding a good sunscreen for me has been so difficult! Most do not work with sensitive skin. And finding one that works under makeup is rare. I've recently discovered Asian sunscreens and will be experimenting with them.
You need TWO different moisturizers for day and night? š I'm assuming the night time one is supposed to be heavier?
How does eye cream work?
There are soo many types of masks to choose from. What kind of purposes do you use masks for? There are also masks for eyes?!
Ahem. Taurus Rising moment.
For daily use I have this. It doesnāt seem to break me out like other versions.
For under makeup I use
You really donāt want to use more than 30 spf because it adds free radicals per my estheticianās advice.
I use a gel moisturizer for day use
At night I use Vitamin C cream but some people using an anti-aging serum too.
And I use rose hip oil (any brand as long as itās certified 100% )
Eye cream is just prevention. There is no eye cream out there under the $ 150- $ 200 versions that will reverse anything. Best thing is prevention, but you can use an eye cream to slow things down or help with blood flow. Something with caffeine is good.

So many people forget to apply sunscreen on the tops of their hands. I keep a tube in my car console cause your hands get blasted by the sun during that daily commute.
I used to work in ritzy ass Newport and the womenās faces were frozen in time at 30, but the tops of their hands scream 60 š¬

Yeah true, especially if your always in sandals.
But at least you can hide your feet with shoes, canāt wear gloves year round. Hands are really the true indicator of someoneās age with the Botox, fillers, facelifts. That is until hand lifts become more popular, yes itās a thing šclick to expand

Yeah I made the sandal mistake once and it hurt so bad and I had a ridiculous pattern.

SPF on sunscreen loosely translates to minutes. So 15spf youāll need to apply every 15mins.
Yes most will define it per the uvb rays which āburnsā you and gets the lobster sun burn... and translates to 10 mins protection per 1spf. But to adequately stop uva rays, the ones that penetrate deeper in your skin layer and cause premature aging and wrinkles...youād want to do a 1 min to 1spf ratio.
Save your 55+ spf for sunbathing and apply throughout the day.
30spf for the face, hands, neck for daily use and like I said earlier, avoid the sun between 10-2. At this time the rays are direct and the most strong.
So 15spf youāll need to apply every 15minsā
