I think a Vitamin A product (Retin A, Adapalene or Retinol), a niacinimide serum and an AHA or BHA product are the most effective. And also the basics - cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen.
I have normal skin, and a fragrance allergy. Every other night, I use the Curology serum which contains tretinoin and niacinimide, followed by moisturizer. On the other nights I use The Ordinary Niacinimide serum and a moisturizer. Once a week, I use Paula's Choice 8% AHA. In the morning, I use the niacinimide, moisturizer and sunscreen. I have found that the more products I use, the more irritation I have in my skin. Regarding You Tube channels, they try out so many products that it's hard to find one with a simple routine. But I like James Welch, Hiram, Dr Dray, and Frugalistablog. I like this video by Frugalistablog, which shows her current favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rkugAg_7Co&t=183s

Don’t spend lots of money on cleansers, toners, etc. Spend more on treatment products, treatment items, such as serums. According to Hot and Flashy, the 5 Most Essential Skin Care Items for anti-aging are: Sunscreen Retin-A (Rx strength - start very slowly. If you need tips, I'll be happy to share) Vitamin C Niacinamide AHA and BHA Moisturizer with Peptides (as an extra bonus - peptides are like extra credit!) Quote:

[QUOTE=ToothSoap - not cheap (OK, pricey, but cheaper than dental work), but they have BOGOs and I stock up then. Nothing makes my teeth feel cleaner than these products (liquids, whips, gels, shreds). To help put this into perspective - I have deep crevices in my teeth so I have to be really mindful about brushing thoroughly. When I wake up in the morning, my teeth still feel clean and I never experienced anything like this with even expensive tooth pastes. And their Tooth Shreds are exactly what they sound like - shreds of dental soap. I would never travel without my Tooth Shreds as they're weightless and I try to avoid checking luggage whenever possible. toothsoap.com[/QUOTE]
Thanks for mentioning this -I bought & tried - for me there is a huge difference in how clean my teeth feel. I'm waiting for the BOGO to order more as you said they are are pricey. I also love the glass bottles as I am trying to cut back on plastic for the environment. |

I LOVE their 5% granactive retinoid serum in squalene, as well as their hyaluronic acid and "buffet" serum. As far as cleansers and moisturizers, I follow the advice of Dr. Dray (on YouTube) and use Cerave Moisturizing Cleanser, Vanicream Lite for my daytime moisturizer (over TO hyaluronic acid and under SPF) and the thick Cetaphil Cream (in the tub, with the pump) over my nighttime treatments. |

I did something today I thought I would never do. I trimmed my own hair! I was overdue for a haircut before the stay at home orders and I just couldn't take my hair anymore! I didn't trim a lot, but enough for me to make it to when I can eventually get to the salon. For reference, I have medium/long hair that is straight. I have long layers, but I didn't touch those I just trimmed the ends. I think I did okay, but I might have to have dh trim a bit in the back. I think Illinois is on track to have salons open in June, but I imagine it will be difficult to make an appointment right when they open.
Has anyone else given themselves a trim or a haircut during the shut down?
