I've been doing all of the things you listed for 4 years now. I started at 36 and now I'm 40. - Started with adapalene, now I'm on Tretinoin - Daily moisturizers with SPF - About a year ago I incorporated vit C, peptides and niacinamide - Micro needling at home once or twice a year at 1.5mm People around me keep complementing me and I think my skin looks better than in my late 20s! I have to add, regular exercise - cardio and weight training does as much for your skin as actives. It increases your hgh, hormones, brings moisture to surface when sweating, improves blood flow in skin...

I’ve been using Retin-A cream since I was in my 20s. I was introduced to it by an Asian dermatologist to treat acne. Then I went to another dermatologist with another network and was prescribed Retin-A gel. It made my skin irritated. So, I went back to the cream. I’m 59, not a real sun worshiper, but I love outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. Back then, the only available sunscreen protection was oil based and my face broke out. I have freckles since childhood, and now some dark spots. But since the age of oil-free sunscreen products, I‘ve been a proponent of using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sunscreen as primer or stand-alone makeup. I get often mistaken for half my age by my co-workers, until I tell them that I have boys in their 30s and married 😂

This is really useful, thanks doctor. What do you advise when using these active ingredients on sensitive / irritable / eczema prone skin? My experience has been that it’s difficult to regularly use retinol or certain other active ingredients as my skin may already be irritated and therefore these ingredients will make things worse, or alternatively regular use of these ingredients may cause a reaction.

I'm happy i started skin care when i was 15 😆

[@superfreakmusic7681]

I have horrid sagging but 0 wrinkles. Ive found that massaging magnesium oil (mix with glycerine first) gives a wonderful lift as good as surgery because it relaxes the muscles (paradoxically iy seems to be the tension that causes the sagging) but you have to massage the muscles exactly correctly and its taken me about 6 years to finally figure it out! Its tricky to explain too, otherwise Id explain it here. However, there are videos on something called a Tanaka massage which I think does the same thing

[@RocioEme2801]

thanks a lot! will definitely look for those videos!🌻

[@stefanisilva2493]

What oil is that? What is the concentrarion of msgnesium or brand?

[@superfreakmusic7681]

@@stefanisilva2493 Its called Better You -but actually whatI do is buy the flakes and melt 1 cup of flakes with 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon of water and then let it cool and scrape it out so its more of a snow like texture rather than flakes. This allows it to be dissolved in cold water and glycerine because I need a very strong concentration I cant just dissolve in warm water the usual way as that would be too weak. So I basically then mix 3 tablespoons of this powder with 1 tablespoon of glycerine and I think half a teaspoon of water and mix thoroughly until dissolved (sometimes you will need to mix it several times as it can have sharp crystals in it but if you 'squash' the powder with the back of a spoon to smooth it (kind of like when you mix cookie dough) out I find this minimises this problem.) The glycerine allows it to glide over the skin nicely because if you just use the usual spray its too watery and abrasive and will burn your skin. You could massage it round your face for 2 mins ( every day) and keep adding more product so it never feels too 'dry.' However, because you really need to massage the muscles in a very specific way which is very difficult to describe, Im not sure how much of a difference this would make. However, it would certainly be good for your skin-both the glycerine and magnesium. Very cheap and easy to make and probably just as effective as a commercial moisturiser
