Over 30 skin care routine?
Labels:
skin care of the stars

I need a skin care routine that deals with combination skin over 30, more prominent wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and quite a few blackheads on the nose. A step-by-step routine with product suggestions would be appreciated!
Answer
Combination skin can be tricky and one of the best ways of dealing with it is to use the method which the German skin guru Dr Hauschka advises. It's very simple, effective and cost efficient: only moisturise your skin during the day and leave your skin bare of any products at night. By leaving off your skin cream, the skin will produce its own natural moisture and in so doing, balance your skin better. It may take a couple of weeks for you to see a difference and any dry areas may feel a little tight to begin with but persevere and eventually, you'll find that your skin balances out better.
Because you won't be moisturising at night, you can be generous during the day. For combination skin, I recommend you use Mir products which are rich in anti-ageing ingredients but light on the skin and non-comedogenic (which means they won't clog your pores or aggravate your blackheads). Part of the product line is argan oil but don't be alarmed, this is not a greasy or clogging product, it goes on silky smooth and your skin will absorb it easily. Everyone I've recommended it to raves about it and has seen a difference in their skin in a matter of weeks. You simply mix a drop or two into Mir moisturising cream. Alternatively, try the Mir Skin Silk lotion which already contains argan oil so it's been pre-mixed for you.
Eye creams are a con - a way for cosmetics companies to sell more products so don't waste your money. But you do need an ultra gentle, high quality product that will not cause your eyes to puff up - which is usually a reaction to the chemicals in skin creams or eye products. Mir skin products are so gentle that they double up as eye creams so you can use a single product over your whole face.
Cleansing is of vital importance and there is a beauty secret to achieving perfectly clean skin, free of blackheads but without drying it or stripping it. I've written about this at length in my blog and it has transformed my own skin so I can't praise it highly enough. Go to www.sofarsoyoung.com and look at the post entitled 'How Clean is Your Skin?' in which you will find details of my secret solution: microfibre cloths. These were invented by doctors so you can rest assured that you are using something safe, effective and kind to skin. Your skin will be cleaner and clearer than ever.
Toner is not necessary if you cleanse correctly but if you want to use one, Mir do a good toner for combination skin which contains natural rose water - this is a gentle but effective astringent for combination skin but won't dry the skin out. Caudalie do a very nice toner for sensitive skin too (which you can use to remove eye make-up gently) but if you use a microfibre cloth, you won't need toner or an exfoliating product as the cloth will do all that for you and will help balance your combination skin. Exfolation is very important, especially in clogged areas (where you have blackheads). A micro fibre cloth will exfoliate your skin like nothing else and will do it ultra gently without any risk of damaging the skin.
If you go to 'Our Star Selection' on my blog, you'll see other product recommendations and the website for Mir products.
Finally, to prevent further wrinkles, wear a high sunblock every single day. SPF 15 in winter and SPF 30 in summer. And don't forget to pat it around your eyes to stop any further crows feet. 85% of skin ageing is caused by the sun so an SPF is your skin's best friend. They can clog pores so only use mineral powder (the best is Jane Iredale and she does a mineral sunblock, you'll find sources for Jane Iredale products on my blog) or try the Australian brand Invisible Zinc, as recommended by Elle Macpherson, Jerry Hall and Georgia May Jagger.
I don't sell anything, these are simply my own recommendations based on experience. I'm almost 44 and I don't have a single line or wrinkle on my face so trust me, my method works!
Good luck.

Q. Ok what at most should a 13 year old girl use for skincare? I would like to use more then just a cleanser,toner, and moisturizer. I would like to use as much as I can but only if it benefits me. I am afraid that if I use higher end products like bobbi browns hydrating face cream or MAC products then my skin will grow "immune" to the products and wont work for me when I am 20 or 30 when I might really need it.
Ok here is a list of skincare products. If you think it should be in my skincare then just type the number beside it. Or you could spell it outt.......
Also, please leave your opinion on this. And try to give me reason of why you think this!!! Also Im not stupid.....I wont put wrinkle "helpers" or anything having to do with wrinkles.
List:
1.night moisturizer ( basically a thicker moisturizer like bobbi brown hydrating face cream)
2.moisturizer (day)
3.body moisturizer
4.neck moisturizer
5.eye (treatment) ( usually consists of eye rollers or anything thats not an eye cream or gel)
6.skin booster ( Things like MAC Fix+ or Sprays, Gels and creams that contain healthy properties )
7.Baby Wipes
8.cleanser
9.clarisonic mia
10.toner
11.mask(s)
12.exfoliator
13.lip balm
14.acne gel or spot treatment
15.eye cream
16.skin serum
Ok thxx if you actually put in effort for this question!!!

Everyone has different skin tone so I can't really tell you what you should use. Skin tones Like oily or dry skin, Easily irritated skin, etc... So I advise you to go a beauty clinic store. I go to sephora and they helped me and my Sis a lot. We tell them what our problem is or what kind of skin we have and they recommend products that fits to your problem/skin. And they give you samples if you want to try it first. You can find a sephora store on google or other search engines. Hope I helped :)

How do Koreans achieve such flawless light skin?
Kei
Is it foundation? Facials? How are they so fair skinned and how do they get their skin to be so flawless?
Answer
First of all, they use a LOT of facial products.
Pop stars go and get surgery to move all their spots and acne away, did you know? Sometimes it's just the computer technology that takes all the blemishes and spots away but in real life they're just the same as everybody else.
Women tend to go to clinics a lot and get special cream on. They also eat a lot of food and vegetables that is healthier than what normal people eat. They avoid gluten and eat a lot of vegetables. Many girls are obsessed with avocado, whether it is the actual vegetable or it's an avocado cream or avocado rinse, they all love it because it lightens skin and makes it smooth.
But sometimes it depends on where in Korea you come from. If you live in the country, you have dark skin from the heat. In the city people have fair skin. In summer, country people just don't mind the heat; they go for a swim in the rivers. City people bathe in sunscreen (not literally, but you get the idea) and they go to the beaches that don't have much sunlight. In winter, all the country people are harnessed up in thick wear. City people take this advantage and go outside. The cold lightens your skin. They make the most of it as possible, then they go inside and warm their faces up. I don't have the perfect flawless skin but I have something similar to that.
Overall, taking care of your skin and avoiding the sun is best. Have you seen the city tenage girls in the summer? They go around with parasols to cover their skin from getting tanned. That's how important their skin is to them. I heard Americans like to take care of their figure, but koreans take care of their skin. Both are good, but personally I'd take care of my body because the skin ages anyway.
