Alright. I admit that in the past I haven't taken the best care of myself. I rarely wear sunblock even though I'm fair-skinned (it's frickin expensive). I don't really know what kind of face exfoliate cream, toner, moisturizer to use, so I just don't buy any. I grew up being tomboyish, so I'm a bit lost on beauty products, but at almost 24 years old I already have fine lines under my eyes, dark circles (my mom has them too), a fine line on my forehead, and since my face is so fat I have those slight parenthesis around my mouth and nose. I also have a lot of round scars from having a bad case of chicken pox when I was in sixth grade, and having acne in high school, and blackheads on my nose that I can never get rid of. I also have this reddish pinkish hue on my cheeks that don't seem to go away (caused from all the scars).
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get rid of them and prevent new ones from coming? BTW, I know my pillow cases are bad, so I am planning on buying satin or silk ones next month. Also, I can't afford to go to a doctor and get botox of anything like that. It has to be affordable. If anyone can help, please give me a small list of vitamins, morsterizers ect and prices that I should be using, because I have never had a routine...
I guess the only thing I do use now is I wash my face with Dr. Bronner's eucalyptus magic soap. |

| I'd suggest start using Retin-A and wear sunscreen everyday. |

Using retin A will help with a lot of your issues and of course you must use a sun screen everyday especially if you are using retin a.
I think the Dr Bonners soap may be too harsh for your skin as well. Many people use cetaphil with Retin A as it is gentle. Vitamin C has also proven good results in antiaging and might help with improving your skin tone.
I would get used to investing abit of time and money in your skin if you want it to be nice as you get older and things like sun exposure, pollution, diet, sleep etc all play a part in how your skin ages as well as genes. I am new here but people seem very in the know and I'm sure you will find out a lot just from browsing the forums. |
