Skincare for 40+

[mumof1littlebun]

Could anyone recommended something for my skin please? It is just awful at the moment, red and uneven and nothing seems to help. I still suffer from hormonal acne at times but it is the overall texture and appearance that bothers me. I would love to go make up free but it just looks terrible. It is also sensitive which makes things worse 🙁

I'd start with Azelaic acid

eg: uk.theinkeylist.com/products/redness-relief-solution

or

Make sure you're using an SPF when using an acid.

This is a great sunscreen that has a bit of a tint so can help with a makeup free look:

Thank you I’ll take a look at those

If you have rosacea with bumps then soolantra cream works really well but you’d need it on prescription. As per PP a sunscreen is essential if you have rosacea- I like ultrasun and altruist.

I’ve recently been using a trial pack of Dr Jart cicapair range and I really like it. Very gentle and helping with my redness.

Skin+Me - mine has Tretinoin for fine line, azelaic acid-helps with acne and bacteria and reducing redness and niacinamide helps with wrinkles and skin damage. It's quite expensive but convenient and if you share you your code and someone tries it you get £10 (link below!)

Then in the morning I use spf. If I feel like I need some extra moisture I use the No7 hydration mask and sometimes I leave it on over night

Sebamed clear face gel,
Garnier spf
