Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for not checking in yesterday!
Thank you for all your responses! I know we have some really detailed advice and I so appreciate it! @Kymheart1
I should look so good at your age ❤️ !!
What do you use SPF now that when I was younger and in my teens I did not. I never even heard of sunscreen back then!
I had been using The Ordinary's lactic acid+ HA last year, ran out and kinda fell out of using it. I'm diligent with cleansing and moisturizing, even serums, but I'm thinking the cheapo serums I'm picking up at random here and there aren't cutting it any longer. So back to a more aggressive plan!
Any good skincare you've discovered lately??

Hello, I'm very new at posting on the forum so please forgive any bloopers I make. To address your questions I believe if you go on The Ordinarys' website they will tell you when to use each product. If you want them to they will also make suggestions based on your skincare goals. Good for you amplifying your skincare routine. My own work-cents would be wear sunblock (if you don't) 365 days a year. I put an SPF 50 on my face everyday for the last forty some years. I don't rely on sunblock in make-up or skincare. I'm going to be brave and post a picture of when I was about 63 years old. I'm 67 now. Please be kind. I have not have had and work done. I want to thank all the people here that are kind and generous to share what works for them and new products. Thank you very much. You have help me enormously over the years!!!! You notice the brown shadow on my upper eyelid. Those babies were heading south fast so since dark pulls back and light pulls forward, bring on the brown. Please be kind a year ago I slipped on a half frozen onion in a famous big box stor and broke my back. Two surgeries and a lot of pain and suffering. Please be kind. I just want to show what a difference taking care of your skin makes.

I really like the lip color you're wearing in the pic! That is the shade that I always seem to gravitate to. Thanks for posting.

Thank you everyone for your kindness.☺️☺️☺️

I just started using that one (Neutrogena). The one in the pink container that is very slightly tinted. I switch around as well. I really like the Korea sunblocks. Most of them as some of you know are more like a watery gel. That sounds bad but it’s a good thing. They don’t have the white east and take forever to sink in. I would like to say,” Oh yes I was very smart”. But nope if it wasn’t for Carson (former boyfriends) anxiety about aging. I would still be at the pool on the lounge chair with my bottle of baby oil. Plus let’s face it no matter your age or skin condition a smile on a persons face makes them look great.

I have so many lipsticks I use a lipbrush and dip into about 5 different ones at a time. Thank you☺️

Thank you so very much. But I need to thank my parents, grandparents, and God. I am second generation Irish so part of it is in the genes. My mom was a model back in the day at all the big name stores that are no longer there. That was in downtown Detroit. But mom had terrible back acne for a while. She was all lined up to do a fashion show with other models of wedding dresses. Well part of her back acne showed. She got so upset and took the bus home before she was supposed to go on. My poor grandma was in the audience wondering when it was her daughter’s turn. Mom was so upset she left with out telling my grandma. When I went through period I got such bad hormonal chin acne. That after trying everything my dermatologist had to put me on a1,000 mg. a day of Amocillin (sp) I was beginning to get some scars. As we all know our skin doesn’t heal like it did when we were younger. Thank goodness Tazorac eventually cleared the scars. I still use Tazorac. I used to be able to use it on my eyelids!!!!😳😳😳 I can’t do that anymore. I asked the derma about it at the time. He said that’s ok you won’t get wrinkles there. But don’t do it without talking to your doctor. I’m not giving advice. I’m just telling you what I did. So please don’t follow my lead. Goodnight everyone. Thank you for your kind words. I need them. Back in the hospital. They don’t know why but I’m not maintaining my blood oxygen levels. I never smoked or was around second hand smoke. I do have asthma. But until I went through menopause (finished at 56). I didn’t even need to carry a rescue inhaler for 40 years. Betty Davis and my mom were right aging is not for sissies.☺️☺️☺️

@Midmod  Hi Midmod ! Are you enjoying your beauty purchases? Have you ever tried a brand from Ulta called J Cat Beauty? Its really reasonably priced at $4 to $9.99 for most products and I ordered some online the other day with a coupon.  I'll let you know how I like them!  I bought the J Cat You Glow Girl highlighter in Crimson Gleam and the J cat blush-mallow blush in Sweet n' Chic

@shortyshorty07
I have heard of them but never saw them in person or ordered. Yes, please do let me know!! And post pics if you can of your favorite of your purchases?? Guess what I did yesterday? I went to CVS and got the L'Oreal Infallible concealer to try, a Revlon color stay matte lite crayon in " take flight", and two LA Girl products to try: velvet blush in a fat short stick called "glimmer" & perfect precision lip liner in " blushing". I got my usual deals. 😉 I've only used the LA Girl lip liner. I used it this morning and was blown away. It's smooth, velvety and colors like a cross between a liner and lipstick. I will use that baby a LOT. Check it out. Under $5.
especially let me know about that blush, ok?
I do have the Ulta app and will look at those J Cat items!! Have you been good??


@Kymheart1
I've heard that about the Korean sunscreens. Will you post your faves? I'm interested in a sunscreen called Tula but I don't have it nor do I know if that's a Korean company that makes it.
I'm sorry for your health issues 😔
