QuestionHi Linda
When it comes to looking after your face.What is the right routine to have every day? I'm now 31,and I'm thinking more about my skin a lot.I was even looking at anti-ageing creams today,not knowing witch one's to pick.You don't know if they are trying to sell it to you.By saying,it will do this and that or what is being said it true & you will see the results.
Thank you so much

AnswerDear Julie-ann~
AM: Apply Daytime moisturizer with at least an SPF of 15 and an under eye cream.
PM: Cleanse, tone, apply anti-aging serum, under eye cream, then night cream after serum is absorbed.
There's no need to cleanse your skin again the a.m. unless you are acne-prone.
Be sure you exfoliate your skin every other day with a cleanser that gently exofliates. On alternate days just use a soap-free gentle cleanser.
Also....
1) Drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water daily to help keep your skin clear and hydrated.
2) Avoid sugar as much as possible. It's an inflammatory and it's aging!
3) Never skip sunscreen (even when it's cloudy) and wear a sun visor whenever possible.
4) Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night and take a nap whenever possible. Rest is excellent for the skin.
The most effective anti-aging ingredient is Retinol. Try to use a night serum that contains it. Roc Deep Wrinkle Serum is an excellent choice. As for which other products to recommend....there are so many I don't know where to begin. But, I do recommend Paula Begoun's book: Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me" to guide you. More expensive does not necessarily mean better quality.
Best wishes, Julie-ann. You will always look 10 years younger than your age, because you are beginning at such a young age to be concerned about anti-aging. Many don't begin proper skin care until the lines and wrinkles appear. You're way ahead of the game!
