There are four steps to having the best skin care for my age or any age for that matter. These steps are cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and using a bi-monthly mask. These steps happen in this very order too.
So please don’t mix one with the other. That’s going to get very weird very fast. The basic thing about skin care is consistency and regularity. If you are able to maintain this regimen everyday, you can see the results faster. And the results will stick better too.
For example, if you maintain the regimen for years and you miss it for two nights, chances are your skin will hardly notice. Your skin will be healthier and more beautiful with a regular regimen.
My personal recommendation is that you try using natural and paraben-free products. These products are less allergenic and have fewer side effects. A good brand to try is Xtend Life (read the Xtend Life Review). They have excellent moisturizers and face masks.
