Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've just started getting serious about skincare after a particularly horrible hormonal breakout, and have been scouring the internet for information, reading my product labels etc. Overall, it's been a success, minus some BHA/AHA related purges.But I have read a lot of contradictory information regarding Vitamin C and niacinamide. A lot of sources say not to put these two together, but when I was reading the label on a few PC products that I use today, I noticed that a few of the PC moisturisers (such as their Skin Balancing Moisturiser and the Skin Recovery Moisturiser) contain BOTH niacinamide and Vit-C. Is it just that they use a different form of Vit-C, rather than L-ascorbic acid? I'm confused :(Another contradictory thing I've been reading is that AHA/BHA's should/should not be used with either Vit-C or Retinol. Some sources say that it's fine, others say it isn't. Same with Retinol and Vit-C themselves. Some sources seem to say it's fine to mix, others say you shouldn't.So, I'm wondering if anyone here has some thoughts on this? I will include my routine here (links may be for Dutch/European sites). So far, it's been working out quite well. I woke up this morning, and my face looks great from my night-time routine, but I am aware that I'm using a lot of different products. Is this not a problem, so long as my skin reacts well to them? Anyway, any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated!AM:PC Calm Cleanser - normal to dry skin (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/calm-redness-relief-cleanser-voor-normale-tot-droge-huid.html)PC Calm Toner - normal to dry skin (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/calm-redness-relief-toner-normale-tot-droge-huid.html)The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (http://ordinaries.com/product/rdn-hyaluronic-acid-2pct-b5-30ml)The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (http://ordinaries.com/product/rdn-niacinamide-10pct-zinc-1pct-30ml)The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA (http://ordinaries.com/product/rdn-natural-moisturizing-factors-ha-30ml) AND/OR PC Skin Recovery Moisturiser (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/skin-recovery-replenishing-moisturizer-with-antioxidants.html)PC Sun Care Sunscreen Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 43 (can't seem to find the link)PM:PC Calm Cleanser - normal to dry skin (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/calm-redness-relief-cleanser-voor-normale-tot-droge-huid.html)PC Calm Toner - normal to dry skin (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/calm-redness-relief-toner-normale-tot-droge-huid.html)PC Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/skin-perfecting-2-bha-gel-exfoliant.html)PC Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel (http://www.paulaschoice.nl/exfoliating-8-alpha-hydroxy-acid-gel.html)The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (http://ordinaries.com/product/rdn-hyaluronic-acid-2pct-b5-30ml)The Ordinary Advanced Retinoid 2% (http://ordinaries.com/product/rdn-advanced-retinoid-2pct-30ml)The Ordinary Vitamin-C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% (http://ordinaries.com/product/rdn-vitamin-c-suspension-23pct-ha-spheres-2pct-30ml)Cerave in the tubAquaphor
