Hi everyone, I need a new routine, I take skincare pretty seriously, but I really need advice from you guys!
THe routine can be fussy, actually I love to do skin stuff, so let me know...
ABOUT ME
I am 33 years old (must update profile), I think my skin type is combination (tends to be dryer in winter, and more oily in summer). I get break outs ever so often... I have baby q blue and red, I have carol maggio face excersise and the no lipo lipo... I have a pretika brush, if recommended I will upgrade to clairsonic.... I have been using the olay difinitiy line without much results... I am concerned about aging, red spots, tired looking eyes... I dunno, need some help, let me know... thanks.. Oh yeah, I make vitamin c serum w/ ferulic acid....

I found Nia 24 worked really well for bright and even skin tone imo. I've used definity too but didn't see any changes like I did with Nia 24. Maybe definity just takes longer and I didn't give it a chance. Nia 24 is more expensive but I noticed results within the first month. I think you basically have really nice skin.
Imo for skin nothing beats retin a and preventing sun damage. I started avoiding sun damage in my early teens and it's probably one of the smartest things I've ever done. |

You can definitely benefit from a Vit C serum (easy to make yourself or you can buy an inexpensive one from EDS (e.g.,the Cellular Skin Rx C + Firming Serum.
And you can also make your own Retinyl Palmitate Serum. Check the DIY Skin Care — Recipe Index. |

Bombshellbella,
Your skin looks pretty good.
I agree with both Iagomorph and Russiansunshine re: NIA24 which is basically Vitamin B3. Retinyl palmitate, Vit A is quite the powerhouse in skin care and not to be confused with Retin A as it works from another angle.
You can make a serum with the whole 9 yards in one and is quite inexpensive. B3/ NAG and Idebenone serum with 1% Retinyl Palmitate, Vitamin E and other goodies...has pretty much cleared up my acne.
Vitamin C or MAP serum is also very helpful. Depends on what your skin can tolerate.
More important than all the antioxidants and what not, a good sunscreen, preferably a ZnO based one which is also very helpful against acne. |

Thanks guys... I will look into the products and let you guys know what I decided, thanks again...
But just in case you recheck, do you think I benefit from a clarsonic? |

A clarisonic makes your skin look awesome if it doesn't cause breakouts for you. I can only use one if I'm on yaz birth control because that stops my skin from breaking out. Without the bc I have a lot of problems with breakouts from it. I've read other reviews from people who said it cleared up their acne however so it might just be me.
I like the Mia clarisonic because I can get around my eyes with it. (it has a smaller head) |

I agree a great skincare regeime needs to contain all the vitamins (just as it is important for your body it is also important for your skin) then build on top of that with products that include peptides and AHA's.
Once your skin becomes accustomed to better skin care products (however probably stronger to) you might like to add in some devices. |

I think your skin looks pretty good too.
I would start using facial exercises a couple of times a week to maintain muscle tone. |
