Hi eveyone,
I am a fairly new member, but I have been reading so many posts over the last few months. There is certainly a wealth of information here - wow!
With that being said, I am a bit overwhelmed. I want to set up a good routine, but not sure what is best to do in the morning/night, etc. Which types of products are good to combine and which are not: exfoliants, retin-a, vitamin-c, oils, etc!!!
I am in my mid thirties and my main goal is to prevent wrinkles and sun spots. I use retin-a every other night (alternating with straight avocado oil). I use sunscreen (spf 70) during the day.
Can anyone advice on a good routine? What do you do?
thanks for your time and for all the information I have gained so far

Welcome 
You are off to a great start with your routine. I would add a vitamin c serum in the am which will provide additional preventative measures and I nice glow to your skin.
You could look at an anti-aging cream/serum. I have been doing DIY for a while so I don't have any recommendations sorry. |

My routine is
AM
c-serum
eye serum (Alley's version #2 of Kassy's cream)
anti-aging serum (Essential Wholesale base with HA, Syn-coll and Photolift)
sunscreen moisturizer
PM - I alternate all of these
eye serum (as above)
retin A
firming/smoothing/anti-oxidant cream (Kassy's formula)
avocado oil
anti-aging serum (as above)
All of my stuff except the retin A and avocado oil are DIY I think most of the recipes are posted in this thread

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I will give the DIY vitamin C serum a try then.
