I love skincare but feel titslly overwhelmed as to what to use now I’m in my 40’s- how do you decide what’s good and actually works from the chaff?

Same here! I have reverted to the most basic products I can find because it all seems too complicated and expensive these days. Also in my 40s

A good cleanser

Do it twice, twice daily

for 40s you need actives really - a good retinol, a good vit c etc

spf daily

a decent moisturiser

I quite rate the skin&me stuff. They’ve got a new range out now called renew & me

Yes, if you can afford it get a liberty beauty box subscription. Fab way to trial lots of things, and later buy them cheaper on vinted! £25pcm but you get £2O of that back as credit on purchases. Admittedly higher end stuff but lush.
