A SKINCARE fan has revealed her routine, which she's dialed back since menopause. She said ever since skipping face soap, her complexion looks way better. Redditor Nightskystargazer shared her regimen in a comment on the social media platform.
"I know some, if not all, will find my routine gross," she said. "Menopause has been my enemy. I've become allergic to things that, in the past, have never bothered me.
"I've had so many changes to my body, particularly my skin." The Redditor went into detail about her skincare ups and downs. "I used to be very oily, and now my skin is textured and Sahara dry," she said.
"Therefore, my once elaborate routine is now simplified. I never wash my face with soap. "I splash water on my face, exfoliate with an exfoliating cloth in the morning, and immediately apply two moisturizers, Cerave in the tub and La Roche Posey AP, followed by sunscreen if I'm going out.
"In the evening, if I haven't gone out again, I splash my face with water and apply more moisturizer, the same as the AM. "Before bed , I apply Tretinoin, followed by another layer of moisturizer. "If using sunscreen that day, in the evenings, I'll splash my face with water, take some Pond's Cold Cream, and a soft cloth, and gently massage my face until I feel all the sunscreen is gone.
"[I] splash water to remove the cold cream. "I'll follow everything else the same as my PM routine." The woman said her skin looks better than ever — even when she used to shell out for pricier produc.
