I have started using moisturiser with SPF since moving to the UK because winter makes me flaky. I've also started using vaseline lip balm. I drink a lot of water (I have an 8 litre Brita water dispenser in my office and at home. My meds make me sooooo thirsty.). As I'm new to skin care, I'd love to know how you take care of yours. I've not been very good with mine because I had bad acne growing up and this was cleared by roaccutane but with all the scars, I did not see any point in being fussy about it. I'm just glad the acne is gone. But now I am getting old, I am becoming more conscious and don't want to look like a hag when I turn 40.
What helped me really get into skin care was going on YouTube and search skin care for dry skin (insert whatever skin type you have) and went down the rabbit hole. I got a lot of ideas, researched reviews on products and now I have a pretty set routine. If you're looking to get into skin care without investing a lot, The Ordinary is a good brand to start off with to see if a skin care routine is something you end up liking. They sell some of it at Sephora and the full line at Beautylish or Deciem.
