Adding Skin Care to my Morning Routine

I have never had a skin care routine. Most things make my eyes water so I honestly look and feel much better without any product on my skin.

That was until I watched a YouTube video on science based skin care.

This has been a bit of a game changer for me. The skin care he recommended (or, more accurately, his dermatologist friend recommended) was skin care made by dermatologists based on evidence of what is needed and what actually works.

Most surprisingly, this skin care routine was fairly inexpensive.

So far, I have added a face wash (CereVe Hydrating Face Wash) and a moisturising cream with spf 50 (Altruist Dermatologist Face Fluid). I am considering a retinoid cream but these can be quite harsh on your skin and as I generally have very sensitive skin I’m undecided whether I want to risk it.

At the moment, I use the wash twice a day and the cream once a day in the morning. At the end of this month (once Gary gets paid!) I will buy the night time moisturiser from CeraVe.

It’s a shame I didn’t have the time/inclination/money to look after my skin in my twenties. However, people are always mistaking me for my youngest twin so either I look quite young or she looks super old!! I shall take the former, I think 🤣

I guess better late than never applies here 😇
