I'm 22 and my skin is starting to look like leather on my forehead!Sad I've only ever occasionally put on moisturiserBlush what skincare routine can I follow in 10 minutes or less each day? I have very pale, dry skin with redness in certain areas. Any help would greatly be appreciated! TIA

Ok. You should cleanse & tone twice a day but if you don't have time at least use face wipes.
I like Primark's in the pink packet.

Definitely apply a moisturiser containing at least spf15 all over your face in the morning.

If you are not too tired (unlike me) apply any night cream & a light eye cream before bed.

If you are going to spend more than eg 45 mins in the sun then apply a facial sun lotion eg Boots No7 with at least spf30 to protect your skin from the sun.

So that is your less than ten minutes skin routine!!

You can get whatever day moisturiser you like, eg something cheaper like Olay, up to Boots No7 or a posh brand like Clinique. Just make sure it contains spf15 at least.

No face wipes except in emergencies!

Cleanse with coconut oil and a wash cloth.

Muiji essence.

Your Good Skin hydration serum

Blue Nivea

Once a week use a Korean aloe hydration sheet mask.

I have the same skin as yours OP.

Thanks @LoafofSellotape - do you have freckles too by any chance?

I do only use face wipes when being quick.
When I have time I like to use Simple cleansing lotion & Simple toner which is alcohol free.

The reason I go on about spf is that I've worn it since I was a teenager & I'm now 42 & have very good skin with no lines.

My routine only takes a few minutes.

Cleanse - I also wouldn't use wipes
tone
serum
moisturise

I then do make up in another few minutes. totals 10 mins or less than 10!

I forgot to say I have dry skin that can flake and also have freckels! It hasn't since I started using a cleansing balm, I use pixie glow toner, (this leaves me feeling moisturised actually ut I don't stop there). I then use The ordinary serums (buffet, 2% hyalauronic or whatever and the 10% one at night), and moisturise with The Ordinary "semi-squalene", no idea what these things are, but skin feels and looks moisturised and doesn't flake and they leave me with a glow and are a great base for makeup - I don't use a primer.
