Where’s everyone over 65

So I’m turning 65… are there no recommendations for how to manage my skin??

First, what do you do now? What’s your lifestyle like? Your skin?

im about 2 months away from my 65th birthday, and I can tell you what I do, along with what I wish I could do.  I’ve been wearing sunscreen and sunglasses daily for over 20 years. I have prescription Tretinoin which I don’t use as often as I should - maybe 4-6 times a month.

As far as products go, I look for good quality products. I do this by looking at the amount of stars the product has and the amount of reviews. Then I read a good sample of them. I like to begin at the 3-star reviews and then look at the ratio of how many reviews or ratings st each level the product gets. After this, I look at the product information here on the app.  Sometimes I have to work to narrow things down, but it’s worth it.

The first thing I do every morning is cleanse my face with an exfoliating scrub. Then I usually use a lip exfoliating crème with a Sephora lip brush. Then I use lip balm. Next, I use a good eye cream. After this, I use a very good serum that Sephora used to sell, but doesn’t carry it anymore, so I get it elsewhere. I also like to use a plumping serum around my mouth.

Aftwr this, I moisturize and then use a good sunscreen. They say you should use the amount that would fill half of the top of a soda bottle.  This is a little confusing, because there are different sizes of caps! So I like to find a sunscreen that doesn’t alter my complexion and use it generously - about 1/2 if the top of a larger sized plastic soda bottle. 

Oh, I also use products on my neck and upper décolletage.

i hope this helps!
