Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi guys,I've just bought the Ordinary 2% Retinoid and have a few questions before I start using it.For background: I don't have 'acne prone' skin in that I rarely have breakouts, but I do have lots of blackheads, and small hard bumps around my chin and nose. I also have some redness on my cheeks. My skin is very dry in general, and I have some fine lines on my forehead from dehydration. I'm a 22 y/o female.My routine currently looks like this:AM:Cetaphil cleanserThe Ordinary 12% Ascorbyl Glucoside SerumKiehls Daily Revival SerumA few drops of The Ordinary Pure SqualaneCetaphil MoisturiserLa Roche Posay SPF 50+PM:Remove makeup with oil-based garnier cleanserCetaphil cleanserPixi Glow tonicThe Ordinary Rosehip OilMoisturiserThe Ordinary Niacinimide + Zinc on any blemishes (can you tell I'm mad for the Orinary??)I'm planning on introducing the retinoid very slowly to let my skin get used to it, once a week, or once every three days (?) to begin with.I've read that I shouldn't use an AHA at the same time as a retinoid. However, ff I use my retinoid in the evening and switch my vitamin C serum to the evening (so that it doesn't clash with my glow tonic), can I use my glow tonic in the morning? Or should I just use it on days when I don't use the retinoid? Or not at all until my skin gets used to the retinoid?How do you know when your skin has adjusted well enough to start increasing the frequency with which you use a retinoid? If I start with every week/every three days, how will I know when it's time to move to every day etc.?If I don't really break out often but have a decent bunch of clogged pores around my chin, how bad do you suspect my 'purge' period will be?Any other tips for introducing retinoids?Thank you soooooo much guys.
