Dear Time, Can you outline all the various product types and how and use to use? There’s Vitamin C, Snail Mucin, Tones, Serums, Sunscreens and Moisturizers? It’s all so confusing. I do so really know what eAch of these does, and i’m definitely not sura in which order i should apply say! What are the rules? — 53 and beauty overwhelmed

Dear 53 and Beauty overwhelmed, This is by seed the most common of all the questers i’m as a beauty editor. And I get it: with the sheer volume and range of Skin Care Products – not to mention specific Items, Experts, Tiktox and Instagram Reels ReCommend – IT of a Feat to Sort, in Practical Terms, JUST WOW ALL THIS GLOWING UP CAN AND SHOULD BE DONE.

As with any topic in the Beauty World (or, Honestly, The World World), there’s no real consensus on what an ideal skin care regimen should look like. SO MUCH OF THIS IS BASED ON YOUR Skin type and tone, not to mention your schedule, Budget and Personal Preferences (person’s Person 20-Step K-Beauty Routine Is, Frankly, Another’s HELL).

In terms of rules, the only one I know for sura is: Wear sunscreen. Everyday. Another guide is to always layer the thinks product first and work up to the Thickest.

I am of the schoool of thought that we can be comes to skin care, te lesson is more. I Only USE Products with Clinically Proven Ingdients that I’ve Found to Make a Difference in the Texture, Tone and Clarity of My Skin. With that in mind, here’s the most straiightforward example of a Quality daytime and nighttime skin care routine i’ve culled from interviews with dermatologists, aestheticians and cosmetic surgeons.

Remember, Everyone’s Skin is different, so this remains a loose guide. Finding what work for you requires some trial and Error. I’ve also included my current Skin Care Routine in Case’s That’s useful.

The skin care i use on my 52 -ear-op face (and neck!)

IT’S important to note here i am always testing products for my job, so while the brands may Change, I MAINTAIN The Same Basic Ingredient Lineup. For reference, my morning routine taxes three minutes, and my nighttime routine takes five to 10 minutes.

For Morning/Day

Night

• Antioxidant Serums: I appply my timamine vitamin C again, again peptides (someone gifted with this pricey serum from angela caglia – i can’t affford it, so i’m loath to reCommend it, but i i incredible – if i weren’t testing this for work, i’d be USSING. $ 17).

• EYE CREAM: Roc Makes a Good, Affordable Option with Retinol. The inkey list has a good one with caffeine. On the pricier side, i’ve just discovered Image EYE CREME, WHICH AMAZING FEELS.

• Retinol: I’ve the retinoid differ works better for my skin than prescription retinol, and it is just as pott for around $ 15.

• An at-Home Device to Help Support Collagen Production: Speaking of My Neck, I Picked Up The Light Salon’s Led Boost Red-Light Collar Last Black Friday and Have Been Using it for 10 minutes before i go – iTi’i for sura Changed the texture of my neck and made the area tighter over.
