Need a new skin care regime - help please!

[AmberExpert]

I'm mid 50's and looking for some advice on skincare please 😊

I currently use Aldi serum, day and night cream, which I like, but feel that my skin needs a bit more attention and I'm not sure where to start...

I did wonder about going into Boots and asking at the Clinique or No7 counter, but to be honest I've not got lots of spare money, and I'm a bit of a pushover so worried I'll end up spending way over what I can afford.

I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions of other cheaper brands that they like that have improved their skin. Should I look at adding anything into my current regime than just using the serum and then either day or night cream?

Thanks for any advice 😊

What is your skin like? If you have rosacea avoid too much moisturiser - i was slapping it on and it makes the redness worse! Retinol seems to be the big thing for adding back volume/plumpness. Also do you use SPF daily to prevent sun damage- apparently you should wear it even inside as the light from computers can affect your skin!

It’s not too bad @Motherrr but I’m noticing more visible wrinkles and less plumpness, so just wondering what I can do to improve that. I’ll have to look at retinols. I don’t use an SPF, I know I should so will look into that too.

Any brand recommendations?
