I'm getting more and more in to skin care but it is an absolute minefield!

I thought I was reinh really good by cleaning my face, using a hyaluronic acid serum then moisturising but it turns out you're meant to moisturise first then HA, then a hydrating mist after....

And what is retinol and when should I use it?!

What do you do?

Wash, one moisturiser for day and one for night.

When I remember, or when I really start looking like crap I put eye cream on.

They go on in order of consistency so light stuff first followed by the heavier products.

Cleanse then retinol followed 20 mins later by water based serum and then moisturiser.

So weird the fact people put things on their skin that reads like the ingredients of a super noodle packet. And probably costs a fortune.

I don't know if you already follow her , but in case you don't, I can't recommend Caroline Hirons, her blog,and her book Skin Care enough.

I only wish I had got into skin care 20 odd years ago instead of 2.

My skin looks better now than it probably ever has.

Love that series.

I'm halfway through the third book at the moment - can't wait to get stuck into Four Skin Care though.

Baby oil and Nivea extra moisture mixed together after every shower. Not too heavy.

I wring a flannel out in hot water and scrub my face then bung on some moisturiser.

Each generation falls for the expensive claims made by those who want profit.

Do what feels good for you.

I love my skin care routine it’s so relaxing so yeah, definitely feels like me time and I love my skin now

I cleanse with Elemis collagen face wash

Then light scrub with a sponge

Then I spray some moisture hydrating cream

Do the under eyes with eye cream

Collagen spray

Roller and jade stone

Vitamin c serum by nip and fab

And if it’s sunny then some oil with SPF

Nights, I just cleanse, massage face, then I use retinol drops every 2 nights and put a moisturising night cream to finish off.

And a lip cream

I use a vitamin C mask from garnier once a week. Omg it’s the best! Definitely can’t recommend enough

Use retinol on an evening, after cleansing, then around 20 minutes later apply moisturiser.

Start of slowly, if your in your 20s, start twice a week, 30s 3 times a week, 40s 4 times a week etc.

Don't confuse it with Retinal (tretinoin), which you should build up to.

On the nights you use retinol, you shouldn't need to use an acid.

Water, that's it. Probably why I look crap

I rarely wear make up though, only when I'm going out.

Wash with either a wet flannel with just water, or with dermol cream and water. Tea tree exfoliation about once a week.

Then a natural face cream with no chemicals in. That's it.

I have reacted quite badly to Vitamin C, I just couldn't use the first serum I bought.
