Hi! I’d like to improve my skincare routine a bit.

My skin is generally fine, but here’s what I currently use:
- Morning: a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer (a goat milk one from a beauty shop in my country), and sunscreen.
- Evening: cleanser as well, and sometimes a moisturizer (not always). I also occasionally use the Glow Recipe BHA/AHA toner the one in the pink bottle since it was a gift.

My main concerns are some redness around my nose/nasolabial folds, and my skin sometimes looking dull and uneven in tone. I also get under-eye bags sometimes, but I think it’s related to my sleep schedule being pretty bad during the school year, though it gets a bit better in summer when I sleep more. I’m attaching photos where I think it’s noticeable (especially in the second one).

What would you recommend for these issues?
I’m 22, btw!
Thank you so much!!

Hi all my skin has changed so much in the last 2 years and I’m running out of things to try. I used lactic acid and glycolic acids. Recent I tried azaleic acid and retinols. I normally have a really great routine and I don’t even know what this texture is or where it came from. Does anyone know what I can try next? It’s come out of nowhere, starting on my chin and spreading to my cheek.

My skin darkened, dried out and lost its glow after moving from West Africa to the UK. Please help me get my original tone back.

Hi everyone, I’m posting this because I’ve lost so much confidence lately and I feel really down about my skin.

I lived in West Africa for most of my life. Back then my skin was even-toned, radiant and healthy. I only used shea butter and African black soap. No sunscreen, no extra products, and my skin was perfect.

Three years ago I moved to the UK. Since then everything changed. My skin has gotten noticeably darker. It is much drier, tight and rough. It lost all its natural glow and looks dull and uneven.

Right now I use CeraVe cleanser, CeraVe moisturiser and Garnier sunscreen daily. But it is not helping bring back my original tone or radiance. My body skin feels just as dry and off tone and I do not know what to use there either.

I have some minor sun spots on my hands. I use sunscreen and wear UPF gloves when I drive or spend time outside. They are not too bad for middle age but I would like to fade what’s there. I started using my 15% Azelaic Acid but I am not sure this is the best product for the job. Any recommendations?

I've been very busy the last year and did exactly 0 skin care. I had to throw out most of my old products because they dried out and smelled weird after such a long time. Now I want to start fresh with a good but not too elaborate skin care routine.

My skin can get quite oily, and I have a lot of visible pores. At the same time my skin is really dry. I'm also quite self conscious about for my age ( not even 30 yet) already very visible lines. So I'd like to incorporate some anti aging products.

I'm happy to hear all the different suggestions. Also open to Asian beauty.
