I guess combination. Oily in the t-zone.
And Iām super ashamed to say I wash my face with whatever soap is around. I need a grocery list for what to buy. I do use witch hazel and Burtās Bees moisturizer.

Itās not bad, itās just harshā¦ My skin would dry up with regular soap and anything that suds a lot strips the oil from my face, which in turn creates more oil and makes me break outā¦
Vitamin c serum will help with dark spots
Hyaluronic acid is a moisturizer thatās good for all skin types
Retinol (get a low percentage like 2% and use every other, 3rd day and only at nightā¦ Then gradually use every night) helps with fine lines and acne.
I use an oil around my eyes.
The set of three can be bought separately, I only use the vitamin c sporadically because it makes my skin have a weird film/scaly-ness lol to it.
The oil, you could literally just buy Argon or Jojoba oil for $6 and it would most likely do the trick. That little bottle should last me a year though.
Paulaās Choice is a great brand if your budget can handle it.
This is just my routine, it took me a while to figure out what worked. Iāve tried a lot of stuff if you want to PM me and discuss.
Any recommendations for a 44 year old who has deep forehead wrinkles and has spent way too much time out in the sun in the south?

Botox lol kidding thatās my biggest problem area as well, my forehead lines.
For the sun damage: The vitamin c serum might help, sheet masks with hyaluronic acid, or āwhiteningā in the title might help too. I know itās a little controversial of a label, but it seems to work.
Thank you! Iāll give it a shot!

Holy smoke! I just realized that hyaluronic acid is what my orthopedist recommended I take for arthritis in my knee!

Haha itās a miracle ingredientā¦I think it helps with inflammation and lubrication lol
If you find something for our forehead lines lemme know 
Also I plan on getting a lot more smile and laughing lines on my new sober journey!!! So while I appreciate having nice skin, the lack of lines is from lack of emotion and Iām ready to tap into some new kinda of life from here on out.

The best skin care Iāve ever used in my life is simple shea butter and avocado oil.
Basically I melt some shea butter in the microwave and then stir in some avocado oil. When it solidifies again it is more creamy.
I donāt have specific ratios. I do it by guessing. If I get it too runny I melt it with a little more shea butter again. If it is too hard I melt and add a little more avocado oil.
I swear this stuff has firmed my face and hands, got rid of all rough skin on my feet, lifted my sagging neck, smoothed my yucky chest, taken away my crepey legsā¦magic elixer!!! And it doesnāt cause acne. Very low comedogenic score.
I also made a face scrub of azuki beans ground up in a coffee grinder. And I made a foot scrub with Himalayan pink salt, a little oil, and nice smelling esential oils. Next time I might try coarse sugar instead since the salt stings a bit on my legs. But I hardly need any foot cream when I use it.
And of courseā¦I love a good sheet mask too!!

Donāt knock Botox. I PROUDLY get my frow lines injected. I looked like Tom Seleck before I did. No cream in the world was going to fix that. LOL

Does it help a lot? My horizontal expression lines are ghastly.
Oh I am fully in support of itā¦ Then again I live in southern California where that seems to be more normal than not
A makeup guru I follow on YouTube gets herās done, she had the Tom seleck line shown above thoughā¦ The horizontal ones Iām not sure about, would love to know though!
So, I get it for the frownā¦but it is completely smooth now (after several years of injections). When it wears off I can see that I make the frown but the wrinkle isnāt permanent anymore.
I have seen that the horizontal lines around that area are gone tooā¦so Iām sure if would work if the injections were put in the same place.
Honestly, it does NOT prevent you from making facial expressionsā¦unless you inject your entire face. LOL
I wish workers comp covered this
