Ladies, looking for recommendations for skincare essentials for women in their mid 30s?

I have combination skin.

Soap free face wash ,100%. Retinoids (I prefer spray liquid ones in a spray bottle or one I can put in a spray bottle). Rose water toner. Serums, oils, and decent moisturizers.

My routine is basically wash my face, spray toner and retinol on my face and then let them soak in. Follow with a serum or an oil (hydrating ones) then finish with moisturizer. Treat yourself to some facemasks too!

Brands I use (may not be useful for you as I think some are NZ based) Cetaphil, CeraVe, essano, the ordinary, glow lab, revolution, by nature.

I believe the best way to get good skin is to consume dietary fat, vitamin A and vitamin E in your diet, as opposed to using lotions which cost a lot and are not as effective as getting the food directly from your diet. Chinese people and Filipino people eat pork and rice and they still look very young when they are 70 years old. When I was 30, I met people who said I look like I'm 14 years old. I combine fat with protein with veggies with grain each time I eat. I remember when I was 21 I went to buy bus tickets and the guy sold me children's bus tickets because he thought I was 10 years old.

Hey, taking care of combination skin in your 30s is key! Look for a gentle cleanser to avoid stripping your skin and a balanced moisturizer that hydrates without being greasy. Incorporate a serum with hyaluronic acid for hydration and consider a product with retinol to tackle any early signs of aging. Don't forget sunscreen daily to protect your skin from sun damage. Oh, and a good eye cream can work wonders! 💁‍♀️✨
