I am a 33 year old mom who has gone all her life without any facial skincare routine other than a shower and a wet wash cloth. I never have had problems with acne or breakouts. The only makeup I wear is some occasional eye shadow and liner.
I am starting to see sun spots and dry patches, and thinking maybe it’s time to start something new for healthier skin. AI recommends a cleanser, vitamin c, and retinol - so 3 products? Does anyone here do a similar routine? I could do a 3 step process, but I don’t know how to begin to researching/shopping for products. Not looking for something crazy expensive, but also something that is safe and gets results.
What do you all recommend?
