Need help!

I am 41, not long had my second baby and notice looking much older. Never really had much routine - usually used simple facewash and moisturiser, occassional exfoliation or facemask. Im.trying to sort out a proper routine I can maintain but bit lost with where to start! Can anyone make recommendations that wont break the bank when on maternity leave?

I think I need to avoid retinol for.now due to breastfeeding

Do you already wear sunscreen everyday?

Are you still breastfeeding? You might start using retinol if you’re not.

I’ve just started using Naturium stuff and it’s lovely. My skin is looking better. I’m 39 and has drier, sensitive skin but it does break out as well. You can get it in boots or space NK
