Hello!!

Here is a daily morning routine and 3 separate evening routines, based on the retinol and glycolic options. You don’t need to do all 3. You can choose either B or C to alternate with the Retinol nights. One is a glycolic cleanser and one is glycolic toner.

I realized we didn’t talk about eye cream, just the firming treatment. The Murad will address all your needs. Brighten, firm, and hydrate. Can be used morning and night, daily.

When it comes to adding new skin products, they need to be introduced like baby food. Start with one new product for a week to 10 days to make sure your skin has no reaction. This is mostly for treatments or products with acids. Usually rose toners and hydrating products don’t cause irritation. However, if your skin is easily irritated, follow this rule for all new products. I have personally used all of these products except the Boscia, but I have used a lot from the brand and love it all. These are all suggestions based on the skin needs we discussed today. If there is something I missed or a suggestion you don’t like, I am happy to suggest something different. I consolidated the lists into 2 places to minimize ordering and maximize possible gifts with purchases. I used Macy’s and Ulta. Both deliver and offer pick up options if products are available locally..

Let’s talk about skin procedures you can do safely at home. Micro-needling is safe to do at home. I use the Dr Pen A6 (this one is sold by Dr. Pen) pen with 36-count needles. This can be done every 30 days and goes no deeper than 2mm. I use this numbing gel and let it sit for 45 min before wiping it off. I am happy to share how I do it and the video I watched before doing it.

There are new microneedle stamps that you can use daily, at .25 to help skincare penetrate deeper, increasing efficacy.

Dermplaning. This is the process of “shaving” the face to remove all the baby hairs and exfoliate the top surface of dead skin. It makes makeup look much smoother and it’s the theory behind men aging so well. All those years of shaving the face are exfoliating and anti-aging. There are several devices now that do it, but they’re all overkill and too expensive. These basic eyebrow razors are perfect and I often get mine at TJ MAXX.
