I would look at the Ordinary skincare line which is economically budget friendly and provides GREAT products for your skin and the current issues. Their website even offers a guide to what the product does and how or when to use them. I would recommend it's worth researching into if you want to improve your skincare.

My three recommendations would be: 1. Apply SPF every time you leave the house (even if at night). 2. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! I started to notice fine lines around my mouth a couple years ago, but once I started hydrating my skin properly, I realized it was dehydration. I like to layer light layers of moisturizers and seal with an oil serum (Sunday Riley’s Juno), and I love humectants like the Inkey List’s polyglutamic acid. 3. If the wrinkles are mild to moderate, tretinoin/retinol is pretty much the gold standard. If the wrinkles are severe, injections or professional treatments may be your only option.

@jbrar27 my top two tips are to ensure that you're using adequate SPF everyday (even cloudy days), and to incorporate a retinoid into your skincare routine. These two will really help to repair your skin, prevent sun damage, and early signs of aging 🙂

@jbrar27 I think you might be better off with an acid toner (glycolic or lactic depending on what you could tolerate) rather than a clay mask and then starting a retinol. Vitamin C or other antioxidant serums and sunscreen will help prevent further damage.

I completely agree with this! I want to add that Vitamin C is so important. I would recommend Truth Serum because it contains both vitamin C and collagen. It smells delicious too.

First thing I suggest is to make sure your pores are super clean.  Try a good exfoliating scrub or clay mask.  Lately I've been experimenting, and have liked these:
Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Scrub Cleanser 5 oz/ 150 mL 

KATE SOMERVILLE - ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

Kiehl's Since 1851 Rare Earth Deep Pore Minimizing Cleansing Clay Mask 4.2 oz/ 125 mL

PHILOSOPHY - Purity Made Simple Pore Extractor Mask

I've tried a few things to tighten my pores, unfortunately I find that all that does is cause them to be clogged.  By keeping them super clean it reduces the appearance of them.

For fine lines, I use one of three Vitamin C Products.  I like them all, the Drunk Elephant is my current favorite because I like to blend it with Drunk Elephant B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz/ 50 mL

DRUNK ELEPHANT - C-Firma™ Vitamin C Day Serum

Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL

KIEHL'S SINCE 1851 - Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate 12.5% Vitamin C
