Need help with a skincare regimen

[otea]

Hi! I just turned 37 and I really need help with a good regimen for skincare. I just had twins and have a 2.5 year old so I have definitely put myself last on the list of who is being taken care of, and it’s showing!

I have normal skin tends to go more dry but it’s typically normal. I have redness and a little discoloration. I am concerned about aging and enhancing my skin. It seems dull and tired (probably from the lack of sleep). I really like the inkey list and the ordinary (what I have used in the past, but have  it been able to maintain consistency).

please help!!! I want to feel better about myself and I know prioritizing my skincare will help!

I highly recommend you see a dermatologist for starters. I don’t think I’m qualified to provide a regimen but I can recommend the basics of a skincare routine.
Cleanse, exfoliate, treat, moisturize, and protect during the day. 
I’m 48 and use retinol every night. A vitamin C and sunblock during the day. Tretinoin/Retinal has changed my skin so much for the better. I recommend a prescription retinol treatment over a product with retinol in it. I love using Amorepacific treatment enzyme cleansing powder for a gentle and efficient exfoliation cleanser. Vitamin C’s are everywhere and finding one your skin responds to is important. I like Skinceuticals CE ferulic or Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum .94 oz/ 28 mL  . For moisturizer I love so many.  Lamer moisture cream, Drunk Elephant Protini, La La retro whip, Tatcha, olehenriksen, etc. 
Skincare is about consistency. Everyday, rain or shine. Finding products or a regime you’re excited about may  inspire you to be consistent with your skincare. You deserve it. It’s important to take time out for yourself. Good luck 😊😊
