I am 59 and recently purchased the Clarins Tinted Oleo-Serum. I use two drops at most and my skin looks amazing. It's weightless and makes my skin look fantastic. I also use the Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint Foundation which I like but does not have the glowing finish the Clarins does.

I’m looking to get a new retinol product and generally tolerate most things pretty well. I have dry skin type and my concerns are fine lines and wrinkles. I’ve tried Farmacy retinol but didn’t find it made any difference for me. I loved Summer Fridays retinol but am allergic to nut oils which it unfortunately contains. My next option was to try Paula’s Choice Retinol. However I can’t really figure out which one to choose between the 1% and 0.3% formulas. I understand 1% is a higher concentration but I was led to believe that higher is not necessarily better, so much as the delivery formula for the retinol itself. I’m wondering which of these would be best for fine lines and wrinkles? Paula's Choice CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment Paula's Choice Clinical 0.3% Retinol + 2% Bakuchiol Treatment 1 oz/ 30 mL Alternatively, is there another brand you’d recommend entirely instead? For relevance and product availability, I am located in Canada.

 For just dealing with it using makeup, here’s something to try. You’ll need concealer (your usual and a shade lighter) or concealer and highlighter (like Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter). - Put the lighter concealer or highlighter directly on the line of the eye bag. I know it feels like you’re enhancing it, but you’re not. - Add your usual concealer above the highlighter/lighter concealer. - blend into the skin, try not to blend them together too much. The lighter shade/ highlight will lessen the appearance of the bags while the main concealer will do what it’s supposed to do. - then put on your foundation (you’re hiding the color correction underneath the foundation). If you need to, pop on some extra highlighter/ lighter concealer afterwards. In the photo, I’m doing just that (concealer is hauslabs; foundation is also hauslabs). Seasonal allergies mean I’m not getting it 100% hidden but it’s much better than it was pre-makeup!

@snellybelly retinol and sunscreen are the best defense against wrinkles. Retinol can make your skin flakier so a good moisturizing routine is also key. If you smoke or use a tanning bed, those can age your skin as well.

You must have such a beautifully expressive face! I love that!! I have a few ideas for you. Of course sunscreen, which I see you already use every day (well done! This is something I wish I could go back 30 years and tell my 17 year old self!!). The others are: 1. Do not sleep in your makeup. (As tired as you are, don't do it)2. Use moisturizer (LaRoche Posay Double Repair is great and comes in a matte formula for daytime. They also make a Toleriane eye cream that I love - you do NOT need to spend a lot of $$ on skincare!). During the day, use the moisturizer under your SPF (don't mix them, you can put them on separately and they will each do their job). If you're oily, you still need moisturizer. The excess oil production teenagers have is often due to their skin being dry and overworking trying to regulate itself.3. Your skin is still too young for actives (vitamin C or retinoids) and be careful when using AHA/BHA, because they could strip your skin, drying it out, and making your skin more susceptible to fine lines, redness, and breakouts.4. Once every 3-6 months - if you can afford it - get a facial and build a relationship with an aesthetician. She will help you balance your skin, avoid mistakes, and put you on the path to bright glowing skin. 5. Also, with spring/summer around the corner, after swimming in a pool, splash your face with tap water to rinse the chlorine off your skin before it dries you out (before swimming in a pool, drench your hair with tap water to seal it from the damaging pool water...but hair care is for another day!) I hope this helps! Enjoy being 17!!

When I first started out, I used the Sunday Riley "Wake Up with Me" and "Go to Bed with Me" kits. They were the perfect size to try for a month to see how my skin reacted.

I agree that not all kids are bad, and it's a shame that a few are ruining the fun for the rest of them. I've seen well behaved, respectful kids in our Sephora. In fact, last weekend a girl (about 12yo) was with her dad, who encouraged her to ask me what I thought about the products she wanted. I did my best to help her, because I wanted her to feel good! I actually think Sephora should open a SephoraJr companion store filled with gentle skin care and "beginner" make up at lower prices than the premiere brands. Have it set up more like a counter where they can try out products, but stock is behind the counter where the SAs are to help. They should have weekly clinics on how to apply makeup (for every day, for the big dance, etc), how to take care of their skin (especially during a breakout), and how to take advantage of sales and points. Instead of kicking them out, teach them!
