Product advice [routine help]

Timed response: hello there If you don’t have oily skin, only wash your face at night with a gentle, fragrance free, soap free, alcohol free and non irritant cleanser like Cerave hydrating cleanser. I highly recommend staying away from retinol and chemical exfoliates like AHA and BHA as they sensitize skin to uv rays and other environmental impacts. Whatever you’re using make sure it’s fragrance free, ph balanced, non drying and they’re free of essential oils like lavender oil. I personally like certain products by Drunk Elephant, The Ordinary, Paul’s choice and Clinique. Depending on your skin’s need, look for beneficial ingredients like vitamin C, Peptides, green tea, plant antioxidants, mineral spf+30, grape seed oil, marula oil, rose hip oil, apricot kernel oil, vitamin E and on. Keep your routine simple and don’t overwhelm yourself with too many products. Please avoid homemade masks made with lemon juice. You can make up something with plain green tea, honey, matcha or black tea powder, olive and coconut oil. Your suggested routine, 1-cleanse once or twice a day 2-Toner (you could easily skip this step) 3-Treat (antioxidant serum like the ordinary buffet) 4-moisturize +spf Regarding eye cream, it’s completely up to you but eye cream isn’t necessary. If you choose your facial products wisely, you can use them around your eyes too. Good luck
