I'm 33, normal skin but I get a tad shiney in my nose and chin but not a lot, my main area of concern is my eye area, I have lots of lines, and tear troughs! I live a very out door life and never worn sfp! Confused
Can you tel me if my routine is ok and if I'm missing anything!

Am:
Aldi hot cloth cleanser
Nip & Fab glycolic pads
No7 advances eye cream( green one)
Nip & Fab dragons blood serum
Nip & Fab glycolic moisturiser with spf 30

Pm:
Hot cloth cleanser again
Nip & Fab glycolic pads
No7 eye cream
The ordinary ratinol 0.5 % in squarlane
Aldi night cream ( blue pot )

Im not sure about retinol if you work outdoors?

I always wear a SPF 50. Harder to get, but Boots no 7 do one, and the normal Boots do a facial one. Better if you are outdoors a lot.

If you are using acids and retinol then you need a separate SPF I think.

You don’t need a hot cloth cleanser in the morning, just a simple, no frills face wash. Also not sure if you need to use the glycolic pads twice a day plus retinol. I’d drop them in the am as well.
And definitely use a separate spf if using retinol (and regardless tbh!). The body shop skin defence is spf 50 and really light.

Thanks for your replies I will have a look for a separate spf and drop the hot cloth cleanser and pads in the AM. Do you put the spf on before or after skincare?

Agree to drop the pads and cleanser in the morning. Spf should be the last step of skin care but before makeup if you wear it. I use biore watery essence which is factor 50 and feels nice and silky on my skin. I do all my skincare in the pm too. Only a water wash and spf on a morning.
