Do you have any skincare secrets for achieving that youthful and radiant glow?

Hey members! How have you all been?

Today, I wanted to take a moment to share a life update with all of you.

Lately, I've been on an exciting journey of self-care and pampering, and I've recently incorporated a fantastic addition to my morning routine—skincare! The holy trinity of cleanser, toner, and moisturiser has become my go-to mantra, particularly during this season when the pesky low humidity can wreak havoc on our precious skin, leaving it feeling as dry and flaky as a crumbly croissant. Yikes!

And since I'm still in the early stages of this routine, I'm eagerly observing the effects these products have on my skin. So, I would love to hear about your skincare secrets and rituals. What are the go-to products and routines that have transformed your skin into a radiant masterpiece? Share your insights and any tips you swear by in the comments section below.

It’s usually the genes you inherited first & foremost! And there is little you can do about genes. My sisters and I joke about taking those ‘jeans’ off and throwing them out!!!

Don’t use soaps that tend to dry your skin (& your body in general) - and there are many soaps that do that. I do not clog up the pores on my face with foundation (never used foundation) and all that artificial stuff we hear about. Let your skin breathe naturally. I’m 78 with very, very few wrinkles compared to my sisters (one older by 3 years & the others 8, 10 & 13 years younger). Let your skin breathe, I believe, is the answer. A good moisturising lotion on other parts of the body (excluding the face) helps with the dry body skin. Your skin has natural oils to keep your face well hydrated normally.

And, I agree, drink plenty of water (at least 2 litres a day), as mentioned above by Suzanne rose.

I agree inherited genes, plus water helps immensely. Alcohol does the opposite.
I use a fragrance free, non-comedogenic face powder, that lightly covers any blemishes I have.
I've never used a toner, but have always used fragrance free cleansers and moisturising products.

As long as you don’t have dry facial skin, but mine drinks up moisture!

Hello all I am Michelle 57 years of age and been using for the past 3 years Ayla skin care,i exfoliate daily sn$ gently with their Pomegranate exfoliator then. Cleanse with water melon and witch Hazel cleanser in the mornings as I shower, back to my bedroom I use their pore perfecting eluxer followed by vitamin C serun and moisturiseruser, my skin fells super clean and not afraid to face the day. I get many comments on how I do not look my age and company nurse travelled some distant to ask me what / who I use on my skin that kept me glowing and looking so good. Ayla is made and distributed by 2 Australian brothers using only Australian ingredients the pricing of goods is fair and always available on - line or via Chemis5 Warehouse, often offer a5 discounted price o4 products for free. I swear by Ayla products I can see the difference myself but I often get a double look when I mention my ag3 o4 asked out right what,products I use to look after my skin.
I strongly recommen Ayla for skin care, ver6 easy 5o use and I assure you it works.
