Talk to me about skincare

[BoredOnMatLeave]

I've just seen a picture of myself at a new years eve party 4 years ago (21) and let's just say I look a good 10 years older now ☹ probably partly due to the fact I now have 18mo DD but I expect mainly due to my lack in skin care routine. All I do is wipe my makeup off with a baby wipe. This is all I've ever done.

What should a 25 yo be doing? Just cleanse, tone, moisturise? Twice a day? Any product recommendations? Should I be wearing eye cream? Sorry I'm so clueless!

As a start look at Caroline hirons cheat sheet on cleansing.

Wear a sunblock SPF every day, winter & summer. It'll stop a lot of aging. You can't make vitamin d over winter anyway but the UVA rays still get through to age you. Double cleanse to take it off.

Cleanse with an oil or balm.
Acid tone. Superdrug naturally radiant is £3 at the moment.
Apply an antioxidant, I'm using the ordinary Reservatrol with ferulic acid as its oil & silicone free and my skin hates silicone.
Apply the ordinary caffeine around the eyes.
Apply moisturiser where needed.
Apply sunblock, then make up etc.

Double cleanse at night & repeat. Don't forget your neck & chest.

It doesn't take that long once you get used to it.
