Really need to overhaul my skincare. What type of things should I be using? Cleanser, toner & moisturiser or should I use. Serum too?

Would love some advice and also some recommendations of some (preferably natural) products.

Thanks in advance!

Have a look to see if you have a local Tropic ambassador? If so they will do you a home consultation, trial and recommendation about a lovely range of products
I love them .. midrange pricing , lots of options , no nasty ingredients, so far no negatives about the brand at all

What type of skin do you have? Dry/Oily/Combo? Any particular skin concerns or just well aging type products? What sort of budget?

The Ordinary have some good inexpensive products. Naturium is also a nice brand - not too expensive and they have some good peptide creams and serum. Byoma is another inexpensive brand, often marketed to teens but their products are good for anyone.

If you have a bigger budget Drunk Elephant have a large range and are known for their clean beauty stance so products are free of a lot of things like fragrance. They also do a lot of mini sets so you can try things out without committing to a full size.

I am a fan of byoma despite being 50…. My word of caution is not to hit the actives too hard, especially the retinols. I did and really buggered up my skin barrier (this is what I found byoma helpful for).

I also think skin care is very personal and a lot of trial and error. So trial kits and smaller sizes may be the way to go.

finally tk maxx is work a look. My local one had heaps of inkey list last weekend and always has a lot of Korean brands. Good whilst you are in the trial phase
