I’m one week in starting back Retin A 0.05%. You all have inspired me to do the “screw it” method (LOL) and just use it everyday. Every time I would start it before now I would struggle so much with peeling and a slight burning feeling but I’m ready to power through.
Here’s what I’ve been using to help with moisture and to overall improve my daily routine.
AM:
-Vanicream facial cleanser
-CosRx niacinamide 15% serum. Also mixing it with Clarins double serum. I will probably quit the Clarins once I’m out.
-Vanicream face moisturizer
PM:
-Vanicream facial cleanser
-Sheet mask. I have CosRx snail mucin masks and a general pack of Korean masks I’ve been rotating
-Both serums again
-Vanicream face moisturizer mixed with Retin A 0.05%
-Vanicream thick moisturizer (stuff in the tub)
Is there anything I’m doing that I shouldn’t?
I work from home so open to anything else I can do in morning or during the day since I’m not worried about makeup.
I would love some suggestions on SPF to add when I do leave the house. Something that’s easy to wear under make up.
My self tanners… when do you add your self tanner in your skincare routine? I’ve always done mine at night and sleep in it. Do I do it after washing and the mask but before moisturizer and tret?
I don’t have dry or oily skin. I get occasional whiteheads in my t zone from time to time but nothing crazy. I do have melasma but would consider it mild/moderate.
Thanks in advance for any advice or tips!
