Wedding SOS - anti ageing skin regime

I'm getting married in 3 months!

I'm late 40s and have always just tended to stick the basics of good cleanser, night cream/SPF but would really like to look my best.

I've already added in retinol (ROC) into my night time regime. My current moisturiser and SPF already have vit C but I'm about introduce a 10% vit c serum in the mornings.

What else I can do that's going to have an impact for minimising pores and improving skin texture in particular? Lucky to only have a few lines around the eyes.

Should I buy an LED mask for example? I don't want to overdo it and irritate my skin either!

No major budget in mind, if it's good, I can buy it.

Dr Dennis Gross peel pads and Skin 1004 sheet masks will be your best friend! Also get a face brush or search for videos of it on Instagram.

Luck you- the blebs from polynucleotides were large and lasted at least five days! Never again!

Really, that’s awful. I wonder if it depends on the practitioner and how gentle they are. 5 days is a nasty reaction.

Apparently quite normal, but I had them on my face as well so couldn’t go out in case some thought I had Ebola!

Thank you. Can you wear make up the next day? Or is it best to wait a bit?

I can wear makeup the next day.

Oh wow! Hope it was OK when healed. This is what is putting me off getting it done. I work in the office 4 days a week so would be pretty tricky.
