What are your favourite skincare products and rituals?

They can be cheap and cheerful pharmacy faves, or embarrassingly extravagant…

Got a serum or moisturiser you swear by?

An aging-well hack for happy skin?

Something that helps with peri/post menopause dry skin?

An indulgent face mask for your “me time”?

What can you not be without, and what has worked or not worked for you?

My current essential is cetraben ointment… it’s bog standard and definetly no frills, but as I’m back on tretinoin its saved my skin from the dry, itchy, flakey stage, and the bonus is that it works on my bf’s horrific scaly dry feet

My splurge is NIODs low viscosity cleansing ester, its the weirdest thing to clean your face with but it removes all the crap, and doesn’t dry my skin. It feels ‘oily’ but isn’t and my next products apply really well…its just really weird stuff

    No preference on face wash. I like aestura atobarrier under light sunscreen for my skin barrier. At night it’s cerave moisturizer. Some of my skincare routine (in my personal consideration) is also my dietary choice rather than topical stuff. Anyways I kinda keep it simple.

      Another cerave fan!

      Agree with your dietary comment, plenty of water, fruit and veg, also salmon is good for the skin too…now if I could just wean myself off Ben & Jerries ice cream for the sake of my skin and waistline 😄

        Ben and Jerries is diabolical. If I have it in the house I just eat it all. So I avoid it.

          I never thought it possible to eat an entire tub in one go, but it’s incredibly easy to do…👍
