Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi everyone,I'm a newbie here and have been doing a lot of research through this sub as I've been frustrated with my skincare routine for awhile. I'm looking to make quite a few changes to my routine based on what I've learned from you all (introducing one item at a time although probably purchasing them all at the same time) and was hoping (if it's okay and not against the rules) that you could review my plan and let me know if I'm on the right track before I go ahead and invest in the wrong products.Here are some stats that might help before I begin: 29/F with combination skin. I get the odd pimple on occasion but generally don't suffer with acne. My big concerns are deep lines forming on my forehead (which I really want to minimize as much as possible) and some redness/scaring around and under my nose. I also have some black-heads around my nose and large pores on my cheeks which I'd like to minimize. I don't have much by the way of crows feet yet, but I would prefer to find products that help with under-eye wrinkles before they occur if possible.I'm currently applying Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Day cream in the morning, followed by a 30+ sunscreen. In the evening I use the Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Serum and the Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect night cream. I'm currently between cleaners because I haven't found something I really like. I'm using a waterproof eye-makeup remover I bought in Poland but this isn't a long-term solution and am interested in trying oils.Anyways, to the routine, from my research here, it seems the best things for me to do would be to:Try Retin-A cream to try and reduce the wrinkles and improve the tone of my skin (not using it around my eyes, nose or lips though). I don't think I can get it easily in Europe, but do have friends visiting from Canada and noted that you can get it (at least on Amazon) over there. I was looking at ordering this Does this look right? As well as using it on my face, I'm curious about whether I can also apply it to my chest to minimize the wrinkles and small lines that have been forming between my breasts and on my chest (due to years of sleeping on my side which I'm now trying to change)?For cleansing my skin in the morning, I've seen that a lot of people rave about CeraVe, so I'd use their facial cleanserThen for moisturizing creams, I would look to change my night cream to thisAnd my day cream to thisI'd also like a more natural product to help me remove makeup and have heard a lot about the benefits of using oils. I've seen a few different recommendations, some people have advised to try baby oil and others have recommended Dickinson's Witch Hazel What do you recommend for something that will remove my makeup (including waterproof eye makeup) effectively without clogging my pores? Also, would I also look to use the face wash after using the oil or do I just let the remaining oil on my face soak in?I've heard a lot about the importance of using a good vitamin C serum and would look to put it on as my first product after cleansing my face in the morning. I've heard good things about Paula's Choice and Timeless but did see that Amazon has a special offer for this product this week. Does anyone have any experience with this? Does it look suitable? I understand the product is only good for three months after opening so wonder if this is a better-priced alternative that will achieve the same results or if I should pay the extra money for something like the Timeless Vitamin C? I would also be looking to use the Vitamin C cream on my chest, along with applying oil on before bed (I currently alternate between using argan oil, avocado oil or coconut oil).So, what do you think of this? Does it seem a good strategy? Is there anything I should change or bare in mind?Thank you all in advance for your time and feedback!Edit: to fix formatting
