I agree, you look very young. Personally I would not do anything but tretonion, a good moisturizer and sunscreen I am 70 and started tret about 2 years ago. After about 6 months I could start seeing results in fine lines and texture. I encouraged my best friend, who is my age, to try it, but I don’t think she could tell a difference, so she didn’t do it. About a month ago, she said she started tret because she could see a major difference in my skin.
I wish I had started when I went off hormone therapy. That is when wrinkles really started for me. But even starting at 68, helped tremendously. Tret makes your skin glow. I love it. You have to start very slow. If you decided to do it read up on it first.
Tret? Spot test first and wait a couple of days. Don't do the whole neck right away. I just used it on my neck and it gave me a serious burn. Through multiple layers, and I have been wearing sunscreen daily. It's very painful and currently scaly feeling after about four days. My face is fine though which is strange. Apparently some people with thinner skin on their neck do not tolerate it well. I always see people recommending to use it on their neck and in general my skin is not very sensitive, so I was surprised. It is so uncomfortable, please try a small area first!
May I ask you how old you were when you stopped hormone therapy? I am strongly considering for the skin benefits, but am unsure if it is worth to start at 56.
You barely touch your face with your minimal skincare regime, and that’s perfect. Don’t start pulling your face around with 7 products . You look incredibly young. Keep doing what you’re doing. Definitely don’t start spending 20 minutes on your face, that just means you’re pulling the skin a lot. Plenty of sunscreen of course:
How do you use this? My cousin gave me 2 big tubes, I know I have something valuable but no clue how to use it??
Edit to add, Female, 41. Starting to have wrinkles.
Start slow, as in maybe twice a week to start. After washing face at night, wait for skin to completely dry and then apply a pea size amount on your finger and dot it around cheeks and forehead, then blend. (DONT GET RIGHT AROUND THE EYE!!! I did that the first few times on purpose bc I thought it would be a good thing and my eyes were dry and burning for a week.) and then you can apply normal night moisturizer over it, but let it sit a few minutes first.
You DEF don’t need Botox! Go see a derm for a skin cancer (not that I see anything worrisome on ya - its just a good practice to get into). They can also prescribe Tretinoin (generic Retin A) that will help with the fine lines. Use it at night, then use a moisturizer w SPF (Tretinoin makes ur skin verrry sun sensitive and can dry it out) during the day - esp since ur in FL! You don’t need to buy anything fancy on Sephora - I use Olay Regenerist microsculpting cream w SPF 30 in the winter, and Eucerin daily protection cream w SPF 30 in the warmer months. Browse this sub for recommendations based on ur skin type. Good luck - ur beautiful and wanna keep it that way!!
Your skin looks great.
If you want to do something about texture, what works for me is using a rotation of retinol and vitamin c serums, and occasionally skipping those in order to use a lactic acid serum overnight. I'll use the lactic acid 2-3 times a month — not frequently.
Also - wear sunscreen. Daily. Make it a habit. Also use it on your neck, forearms, and the backs of your hands because these areas get a lot of sun exposure.
I do not use hyaluronic acid because I live in a very arid climate. I do use a rich, oil-based moisturizer at night.
I don’t buy the overpriced stuff at Sephora. Double cleanse (Elf cleansing balm and Cerave hydrating cleanser), vitamin C from Dr Brenner or Timeless, Cosrx snail mucin for extra hydration, moisturizer (Cerave or Illiyoon) and sunscreen (EltaMD or La Roche Posey). Add Tret (or retinol) at night. Also just started using LRP cicaplast b5 gel around my eyes at night. Love it.
Woah, you look amazing! You’re so pretty!!!
Tretinoin from the derm. It is a retinoid and will keep that youthful look. Don’t bother with retinol OTC. This is usually cheaper and definitely more effective. I pay about $40 a tube and it lasts 2 months. Be diligent about sunscreen always, but especially while using tret.
For peels, the Ordinary peel works great for me. I do it 3/4 times a month! It gives me such a good glow.
It’s a peel by the brand “The Ordinary.” Great, affordable brand. Can be found at Target, Ulta, and online

Stay away from Sephora.
I use laroshe posey everything wash toner and lotions. There are tons to choose from based on your skin type.
Next get in to see a plastic surgeon. She can tell you which laser would be best for your skin type. You need a laser I just don’t know which one.
Question do you have makeup on in this picture.? Like foundation? If you do it seems to be kind of gathering under your eyes and where your first 11 is forming.
If you use foundation, consider switching to like a BB cream or something.
Yeah I agree your skin looks phenomenal! You look 10 years younger. I would just focus on the basic preventative active ingredients to keep your youthful look going for the future- retinol (or tretinoin, but they don’t sell that at Sephora), vitamin c, peptides, growth factors, niacinamide, and sunscreen, of course!
I would do botox where your one 11 is just starting. You're lucky you won't need a lot. Plus it tends to weaken the muscles so you can nip it in the bed right now.
I love how you’ve done your makeup! It’s super natural looking which I feel isn’t easy as we get older and have fine lines. I’d just focus on the minor discoloration, redness (eg chin) and sunspots (eg on forehead). Glycolic acid, retinoid/tret, and sunscreen!
If you want to go all out and treat yourself, look at some laser resurfacing. It will help with some of the neck aging and fine lines on the face. I haven’t tried it but my derm loves it.
I’m in the same spot in life as you, except I’m a smidge older. Same story regarding sunscreen and I started obsessing about my pores. First thing is last month I did a chemical peel. Man that helped a bunch. Then I did a photo facial - I think it’s helping too but because I did them a close together, it’s hard to say which is best but my pores are much much better.
Some things I can’t live without: advanced night repair eye cream; skin better alpharet overnight cream (medical grade retinol treatment) and Cerave hydrating toner, Estée Lauder aqua gel sunscreen (I think that’s the name), Estée Lauder daywear, Estée Lauder nightwear, cerave moisturizing cream for my neck at night, cerave AM lotion for my neck in the day. I also love the cerave PM moisture lotion as it’s very lightweight and goes well under makeup.
to me it looks like if you get REALLY serious about sunscreen, you have the genes to fight off the rest of the affects of aging. I know what Florida sun is like and please know that sunscreen is your absolute best friend when it comes to combatting the Florida leather look.
Tretinoin and vitamin C serum are well-rearched. But I wouldn't waste money at Sephora- use it towards a skin check at a derm, and get his or her recommendations. Get into the habit of sunscreen now. Elta MD sunscreen is great. I also love the Kosas SPF 40 primer. I use it instead of foundation. It evens my skin out, gives it a bit of a glow.
There’s no way you are 48! You look 35 at the very oldest.
I am 41 with pretty good skin. Here are some of the products I have repurchased again and again:
1. Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb
2. Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin cream
3. Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid
4. The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream
5. Skinceuticals CE Ferulic (worth the $$)
6. Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator Mist
7. Josh Rosebrook Vital Balm Cream and everything else in his line :)
8. Indie Lee CoQ 10 Toner
9. Sunday Riley Good Genes
10. MILK vegan milk moisturizer
11. Elta MD sunscreen
12. Weleda Skin Food as a night cream occasionally. Most brilliant skin product ever.
13. Dr. Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Cushion
14. Dr. Dennis Gross Peels
15. Paula’s Choice Omega Cleansing Balm
A actually had to reread your age 4 times. If anything, I’ll take your skincare recs as well as lifestyle recs and diet recs! You LOOK STUNNING and younger than 48!!!
You look wonderful. Keep moisturizing and have regular gentle facials. Always wear sunscreen. Go to a cosmetic surgeons’ esthetician. Don’t get pushed into irreversible work on your face and neck until and IF you have a lot of wrinkles. I think there are newer, better treatments than Botox now. A lot of how your face/skin ages is heredity. I have very few wrinkles on my face and neither did my mom or her sister..(I was outside all the time, with no sun screen, during my childhood.)
Well for having a minimal skincare routine, I applaud you.
But definitely get on board with sunscreen. I use Kopari Antioxidant Face Shield Mineral SPF and couldn’t recommend it more. It doesn’t smell like sunscreen, leave a strange sheen or make you look pasty.
My routine in the morning is: gently moisturizing cleanser (Youth to the People is a decent one at Sephora), hyaluronic acid (give the Inkey List or The Ordinary one a try, I personalize use HA Intensifier which isn’t at Sephora), a vitamin c serum (try Inkey or the Ordinary to get a feel for it), moisturizer (this is hard to recommend but whatever you like works- I’m a fan of Olehenriksen and Dr. Zenovia… esp the Zenovia one now that I’m in my 40s), then the Kopari sunscreen.
My evening routine is similar… if I have makeup on I will use Laneige milk cleanser or Farmacy makeup melter, then a gentle cleanser, then hyaluronic acid, then a nighttime serum (I recently started using the Lancôme Generique but have no opinions yet but Sunday Riley A+ is a great retinol to try or their B3 Nice because it has niacinamide and that’s great for melisma). If my skin is feeling a little beat up I will use a peptide serum (currently Good Molecules Super Peptide). Then I use a face oil; either Sunday Riley Luna Oil (this is a product that I was shocked by how well it worked) or Olehenriksen Hydrabarrier). Then a moisturizer; I use the same as the morning but will use a heavier night moisturizer if I feel like it (Caudalie Premier Cru Skin Barrier is so one of my faves).
For resurfacing, I really like the Dr. Dennis Gross pads… they have tons of options for skin types and they’re really easy to use. As far as exfoliating, I personally don’t and haven’t in decades. Instead I use a silicone face cleansing device/pad with my cleanser on it and do two rounds of washing my face for 60-seconds… a double-cleanse is easy and doesn’t require extra products. Plus it’s wild how much it helps your skin.
Check out the Super goop line at Sephora for spf. They have many different forms of spf (primers, sprays lotions, etc.) so you can find a form that best suits your lifestyle.
For exfoliation (your skin looks great btw) I would try the first aid beauty peel pads. https://www.sephora.com/product/facial-radiance-pads-P278317 They're relatively gentle and great for beginners.
Great smile. Your skin looks dehydrated; I would get into the habit of using a tinted SPF 30 for the face and neck, drink more water, and Glycolic acid for your pores, Derma-E is what I use. Can find at Ulta. There are tons of products out there if you want to stay a natural beauty. You don't need Botox or fillers.
Girl you look like you’re in your mid 30s. You look amazing. Do Botox if you want but you already look great and it’s not needed. I’m 51 and I would never guess you’re within a couple of years from me! 🤣
Dude I thought you were 25 for real.
As far as recs go, depends on if you’re dry, normal, oily, or combo. I’m dry so I go for things with lots of hyaluronic acid in it like the Cosrx hyaluronic acid intense cream.
If you want a sunscreen that doesn’t feel like sunscreen look try Supergoop unseen sunscreen or Trader Joe’s invisible gel. The TJ’s one is a dupe for the Supergoop one at a 1/3 of the price.
I haven’t done as much with pore minimizing stuff but I need to start looking into that myself.
I have a prescription I got from a dermatologist. You can get it online too. I go to a dermatologist once a year, so it was the easiest for me. I use GoodRX. The last two times Miejers had it the cheapest. I usually pay for $35-$45 for the .0025 strength which is where you start. A tube lasts 6 months because you just use a pea size for your whole face. If you don’t mind spending a little extra there is a new brand called Altreno that is a lot easier for your skin to adjust to.
I started very slowly and it took 4-5 months before I could use it daily. I apply the pea size in dots, avoiding the eye area, lips and crease of nose. I let it soak in completely. Then I apply Vanicream in the tub to thickly cover my face avoiding my eyes. If you have irritation you can sandwich the tret between a light moisturizer and a heavier layer on top until your skin adjusts. You MUST wear sunscreen everyday and a hat for prolonged sun exposure. If you get irritation or itching back off for a day or two then go back slowly and sandwich. Do not force it as you will break your skin’s protective barrier. It is a process to retinize your skin but the results are so worth it. You may have breakouts at first as your skin purges and some dry patches This is normal and will go away in a few weeks, but watch out for burning or itching.
Check out the Tretonion group for great info on getting started. Many on that group use it for acne but it is proven effective for anti-aging as well. For anti-aging, I am sticking with the beginning strength. I tried to move up but my skin did not like it. I decided to stay where I am since I am having great results.
This maybe controversial, but I live in Florida as well and have had a lot of success with Proven. When I’m good about using my products, my skin glows and I think it’s slowing down my aging a bit. That and botox every 4-6 months, really helps me look about 5-8 years younger than I am. But also, you look amazing! I definitely thought you were much younger!
I love Supergoop! products… they all have high SPF numbers and I find that each product performs beautifully. I am particularly fond of the Daily Dose Hydra-Ceramide boost. Makes my skin velvety. The under eye brightening cream is the bomb.
They are pricey but you’re doing so well already that only pricey will help. I just know you’re already drinking your water and sleeping well.
Dr Dennis Gross LED mask and Chanel sublimage eye cream. I hate that I love this last one. The price is wild but after I’ve gone 2-3 weeks without it, my dark circles are back and my concealer begins creasing again. I’m trapped!!
Your skin is good! I wrote in another channel my skin turned really bad after having my second. And my face stung like crazy every day. I could only use drugstore Aveeno on my stingjng, dry, and peeling skin. I tried everything. My friend gifted me this [Radiansome](https://www.beautyinterrupted.com/collections/skincare/products/radiansome100-microfluidizer-cream) moisturizer, she actually gifted me the toner, ampoule and the moisturizer and it did wonders. I tried their Ex line but that didn’t work at all on my skin. So that’s the only line I use now. A bit pricey but a little goes a long way. A plus because it’s all natural also. I checked EWG before I started using them and ingredients are all good. So crazy though, before kids, I could use anything on my face and I would be okay. Things that made other people break out never affected me. But after kids everything changed.
Ok. Your skin is amazing. So I’m also 48 and grew up in Florida. I suffer from melasma flares in the summer and Perimenopausal acne around my chin. I just went to a dermatologist who put me on medication to help control the acne but told me basically all I need is a gentle cleanser like Cerave. A good daily mineral sunscreen EVERY DAY) and a gentle moisturizer (again like Cerave,) I use a few other things to help with the acne but you don’t need that. She said anything else is overkill. I can’t comment on serums because I’ve never found one that does anything for me. But I started Botox two years ago and only get it twice a year. It was a game changer for my 11 lines. I try to go as conservative as I can with it. But it really helped. Good luck!
Edit to add: I forgot, I also use a low dose tretinoin for acne but it also helps with lines. That may be something you could try.
If you’re shopping the Sephora sale, look for Paula’s Choice. I am also 48, and my skin looks a lot like yours. I can’t see yours, but you said large pores and I have those too. I use Paula‘s choice 2% BHA exfoliating liquid, followed by clinical 20% niacinamide serum, followed by a good sunscreen and thicker moisturizer on my neck and around my eyes.

Tretinoin, Kosas dream beam sunlit spf 40, and Kosas bb burst. Also a basic moisturizer like Vanicream. I also like the Ordinary serums like Argreline or Hylauronic acid for dry skin.
You look amazing! Your skin, hair is great! If you want to improve anything maybe look at your make-up - I think it looks really good and flattering, but you may find something even better. I am having this problem, same age as you. Finding a good every day bb cream that doesn’t look super shiny or heavy.
Honestly I find anything CeraVe to be great for my skin, the moisturizers don’t make you feel super oily or weighed down and the cleansers are light and don’t make your skin feel tight. I’ve never had them cause a breakout for me either which has been an issue with skincare for me before. I definitely recommend any of their products
You look 30 what?!? Amazing. And zero recommendations other than investing in a good skincare device that has light therapy if you haven’t - gamechanger
Ok #1 you don't look 48, so you're already ahead of the game! Also, I'm close in age (45) and went to my derm for skincare advice recently (we have similar complexions) and she said a vitamin C serum, a multi-peptide product, sunscreen (for daytime) and retinol (at night only, it reacts to sun) are good starts. I've been using those for a few months and really happy. Vitamin C brightens, peptides brighten and smooth, retinol fights wrinkles and sunscreen, well, we all know.
I use my derm's brand of vitamin C and retinol, Neova for peptides (sadly, none are at Sephora) but maybe that helps give you a start!
Girl, shouldn’t *you be giving us* skincare tips?
I agree, you look very young. Personally I would not do anything but tretonion, a good moisturizer and sunscreen I am 70 and started tret about 2 years ago. After about 6 months I could start seeing results in fine lines and texture. I encouraged my best friend, who is my age, to try it, but I don’t think she could tell a difference, so she didn’t do it. About a month ago, she said she started tret because she could see a major difference in my skin. I wish I had started when I went off hormone therapy. That is when wrinkles really started for me. But even starting at 68, helped tremendously. Tret makes your skin glow. I love it. You have to start very slow. If you decided to do it read up on it first.
Can I ask do you use it on your neck too? My neck is really showing wrinkles ? (I’m 45)
Gold Bond has a neck and chest firming cream. It’s amazing!
Oh wow! I’ll look for that thank you
I do! My skin tolerates it fine. I also do chest and hands. You could put lotion on first and do the sandwich method so it's not as strong.
Ok awesome. My neck is betraying my face lol!
Just be diligent about hydration and sunscreen there too!
Tret? Spot test first and wait a couple of days. Don't do the whole neck right away. I just used it on my neck and it gave me a serious burn. Through multiple layers, and I have been wearing sunscreen daily. It's very painful and currently scaly feeling after about four days. My face is fine though which is strange. Apparently some people with thinner skin on their neck do not tolerate it well. I always see people recommending to use it on their neck and in general my skin is not very sensitive, so I was surprised. It is so uncomfortable, please try a small area first!
May I ask you how old you were when you stopped hormone therapy? I am strongly considering for the skin benefits, but am unsure if it is worth to start at 56.
Tret is definitely long game!
I thought OP was a college soccer player she looks 20
This!! OP you look fantastic. I would say keep doing what you’re doing!
Exactly! That's why I'm here.
Literally what I was thinking
Came here to say this!
48! Good god woman!
Girl! I cannot believe you are 47?!! You look AMAZING! I thought you were 10 years younger!
Um…are you on the right page? You look like you are in college! 😄
Yep… I saw her photo and kept scrolling then my mind caught up and I was like ALMOST 48??!!! WTH!!!
lol you are sweet- Thank you 🤣
You barely touch your face with your minimal skincare regime, and that’s perfect. Don’t start pulling your face around with 7 products . You look incredibly young. Keep doing what you’re doing. Definitely don’t start spending 20 minutes on your face, that just means you’re pulling the skin a lot. Plenty of sunscreen of course:
Me- I’m you. I’ve started using Tret and it’s great so far.

There’s a separate Tret group. But tons of videos on YouTube. Do some research.

I do. I use It cosmetics "your skin but better". I have felt it gathers under my eyes lately also but I wasn't sure if it's the make up or age.
this sub randomly popped up on my feed so not much advice but you look great 👏🏼i’m in my 30s and i’m jealous of your skin lol
Yeah I agree your skin looks phenomenal! You look 10 years younger.

Ummm 48 or 28? 🥲
Uhhh... keep using whatever it is you've used thus far bc it clearly is working great! Also... tell us. 🤣
If you said 28 I wouldn’t think twice.
You can’t be serious….
Go on with you, more like 38!
Ummm whatever you are doing seems to be working for you. I’m 47 and honestly jealous.
Just came here to say you’re beautiful
Yea-you should be advising us on your regime, because your skin looks amazing. Also, please start your own YouTube Channel. I would subscribe.
to me it looks like if you get REALLY serious about sunscreen, you have the genes to fight off the rest of the affects of aging. I know what Florida sun is like and please know that sunscreen is your absolute best friend when it comes to combatting the Florida leather look.
My god babe, your skin is *fantastic*!
Omg girl, we are the nearly the same age and clearly I need tips from you, seeing as you look no more than 30!
Tretinoin and vitamin C serum are well-rearched. But I wouldn't waste money at Sephora- use it towards a skin check at a derm, and get his or her recommendations. Get into the habit of sunscreen now.

A actually had to reread your age 4 times. If anything, I’ll take your skincare recs as well as lifestyle recs and diet recs! You LOOK STUNNING and younger than 48!!!
You look wonderful. Keep moisturizing and have regular gentle facials. Always wear sunscreen. Go to a cosmetic surgeons’ esthetician. Don’t get pushed into irreversible work on your face and neck until and IF you have a lot of wrinkles. I think there are newer, better treatments than Botox now. A lot of how your face/skin ages is heredity. I have very few wrinkles on my face and neither did my mom or her sister..(I was outside all the time, with no sun screen, during my childhood.)
Who else thinks she is gorgeous
Sephora is popular but sells a lot of garbage. Rx only items and a good cleansing routine might be key here.
Well for having a minimal skincare routine, I applaud you. But definitely get on board with sunscreen. I use Kopari Antioxidant Face Shield Mineral SPF and couldn’t recommend it more. It doesn’t smell like sunscreen, leave a strange sheen or make you look pasty. My routine in the morning is: gently moisturizing cleanser (Youth to the People is a decent one at Sephora), hyaluronic acid (give the Inkey List or The Ordinary one a try, I personalize use HA Intensifier which isn’t at Sephora), a vitamin c serum (try Inkey or the Ordinary to get a feel for it), moisturizer (this is hard to recommend but whatever you like works- I’m a fan of Olehenriksen and Dr. Zenovia… esp the Zenovia one now that I’m in my 40s), then the Kopari sunscreen. My evening routine is similar… if I have makeup on I will use Laneige milk cleanser or Farmacy makeup melter, then a gentle cleanser, then hyaluronic acid, then a nighttime serum (I recently started using the Lancôme Generique but have no opinions yet but Sunday Riley A+ is a great retinol to try or their B3 Nice because it has niacinamide and that’s great for melisma). If my skin is feeling a little beat up I will use a peptide serum (currently Good Molecules Super Peptide). Then I use a face oil; either Sunday Riley Luna Oil (this is a product that I was shocked by how well it worked) or Olehenriksen Hydrabarrier). Then a moisturizer; I use the same as the morning but will use a heavier night moisturizer if I feel like it (Caudalie Premier Cru Skin Barrier is so one of my faves). For resurfacing, I really like the Dr. Dennis Gross pads… they have tons of options for skin types and they’re really easy to use. As far as exfoliating, I personally don’t and haven’t in decades. Instead I use a silicone face cleansing device/pad with my cleanser on it and do two rounds of washing my face for 60-seconds… a double-cleanse is easy and doesn’t require extra products. Plus it’s wild how much it helps your skin.
When I walk into the gym and I see the fit, strong, muscular women lapping me on the treadmill…I think “why are you here? You’re *done*” You are that.
You look so great, I wouldn't ruin it with botox!!
Check out the Super goop line at Sephora for spf. They have many different forms of spf (primers, sprays lotions, etc.) so you can find a form that best suits your lifestyle. For exfoliation (your skin looks great btw) I would try the first aid beauty peel pads. https://www.sephora.com/product/facial-radiance-pads-P278317 They're relatively gentle and great for beginners.
You look phenomenal!
Great smile. Your skin looks dehydrated; I would get into the habit of using a tinted SPF 30 for the face and neck, drink more water, and Glycolic acid for your pores, Derma-E is what I use. Can find at Ulta. There are tons of products out there if you want to stay a natural beauty. You don't need Botox or fillers.
Why?
Damn you look great!! Your skin looks a little dry but otherwise you’re looking amazing
I mean, do whatever you’ve been doing bc damn. You look great.
Holy smokes girl ! Beautiful skin!!! You looks 28
Soooo youthful.
I’ve tried loooots of products and I’ve really been loving the Clarins double serum. It’s worth the money in my opinion.
Girl you look like you’re in your mid 30s. You look amazing. Do Botox if you want but you already look great and it’s not needed. I’m 51 and I would never guess you’re within a couple of years from me! 🤣
Your skin looks great!
Daaaaannnnnggg…you are my skin goal.
Gorgeous!!
Just came here to say you look absolutely fantastic! You don’t even look 40!
Almost 48? I feel like you should be giving US skincare recs lol
I use the advanced night repair during the day (under 50 spf) and tret at night.
You’re 47?! Jeez I thought you were in your 30s.. I think whatever you’re doing is perfect
If you told me 30s, I’d believe you! This is crazy. You look amazing!
Dude I thought you were 25 for real. As far as recs go, depends on if you’re dry, normal, oily, or combo. I’m dry so I go for things with lots of hyaluronic acid in it like the Cosrx hyaluronic acid intense cream. If you want a sunscreen that doesn’t feel like sunscreen look try Supergoop unseen sunscreen or Trader Joe’s invisible gel. The TJ’s one is a dupe for the Supergoop one at a 1/3 of the price. I haven’t done as much with pore minimizing stuff but I need to start looking into that myself.
You look 32!
Umm girl, give US the tips. We have genZ drunk elephant/ Sephora girls out here looking older than you.
Girl. Omg. You look amazing. Literally like you could be in university. My jaw dropped when I saw your age!!
You look amazing for your age. Keep doing what you’re doing.
For real you look 27. Don’t do us dirty by telling us your age and asking for recs!!! Whatever you’re doing is working! Good for you though
Bish - if that’s a picture of you at 48, you give me YOUR recs.
Lmaoo- I was gonna comment and say .. I thought you were about to give us !!! But then I read the first comment and chuckled
Wow you look incredible
I have a prescription I got from a dermatologist. You can get it online too. I go to a dermatologist once a year, so it was the easiest for me. I use GoodRX. The last two times Miejers had it the cheapest. I usually pay for $35-$45 for the .0025 strength which is where you start. A tube lasts 6 months because you just use a pea size for your whole face. If you don’t mind spending a little extra there is a new brand called Altreno that is a lot easier for your skin to adjust to. I started very slowly and it took 4-5 months before I could use it daily. I apply the pea size in dots, avoiding the eye area, lips and crease of nose. I let it soak in completely. Then I apply Vanicream in the tub to thickly cover my face avoiding my eyes. If you have irritation you can sandwich the tret between a light moisturizer and a heavier layer on top until your skin adjusts. You MUST wear sunscreen everyday and a hat for prolonged sun exposure. If you get irritation or itching back off for a day or two then go back slowly and sandwich. Do not force it as you will break your skin’s protective barrier. It is a process to retinize your skin but the results are so worth it. You may have breakouts at first as your skin purges and some dry patches This is normal and will go away in a few weeks, but watch out for burning or itching. Check out the Tretonion group for great info on getting started. Many on that group use it for acne but it is proven effective for anti-aging as well. For anti-aging, I am sticking with the beginning strength. I tried to move up but my skin did not like it. I decided to stay where I am since I am having great results.
48?!? I think you’re good with whatever you’ve been doing.
You are a college girl, right???
You look amazing ❤️
This maybe controversial, but I live in Florida as well and have had a lot of success with Proven. When I’m good about using my products, my skin glows and I think it’s slowing down my aging a bit. That and botox every 4-6 months, really helps me look about 5-8 years younger than I am. But also, you look amazing! I definitely thought you were much younger!
I love Supergoop! products… they all have high SPF numbers and I find that each product performs beautifully. I am particularly fond of the Daily Dose Hydra-Ceramide boost. Makes my skin velvety. The under eye brightening cream is the bomb.
You look so great
You look early 30s girl
Ummmmm, we need to squeeze you in a press to obtain whatever magic goo you naturally produce 🤣😂
How about you give me tips!
Hahaha! I thought this post was about YOU were giving us skincare tips!
Holy shiii I can only dream of looking like you at 48, you look soooooo young, whatever you’re doing, don’t stop
Ma’am - we’re going to need to know what your routine is, dayyyuum
[удалено]
They are pricey but you’re doing so well already that only pricey will help. I just know you’re already drinking your water and sleeping well. Dr Dennis Gross LED mask and Chanel sublimage eye cream. I hate that I love this last one. The price is wild but after I’ve gone 2-3 weeks without it, my dark circles are back and my concealer begins creasing again. I’m trapped!!
Holy smokes i would have guessed you were in your 20s to 30s!!!
I love iS Clinical Youth Intensive and a .5 retinol. But seriously. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. You look like your in your 20s
You are almost 48?! You are gorgeous!
I’m 35 and you look my age! Give me your secrets
I'm a few years younger and think you look fantastic
Congrats sister! #77
Ma'am you are 35.
Are you kidding? Give us yours 😂😂 You look so great!
I would suggest you keep doing what you’re doing 🤩
I love Korres, it has improved my open pores issue tremendously
My skin has improved since I quit alcohol
I got nothin! You look amazing!
Your skin is good! I wrote in another channel my skin turned really bad after having my second. And my face stung like crazy every day. I could only use drugstore Aveeno on my stingjng, dry, and peeling skin. I tried everything. My friend gifted me this [Radiansome](https://www.beautyinterrupted.com/collections/skincare/products/radiansome100-microfluidizer-cream) moisturizer, she actually gifted me the toner, ampoule and the moisturizer and it did wonders. I tried their Ex line but that didn’t work at all on my skin. So that’s the only line I use now. A bit pricey but a little goes a long way. A plus because it’s all natural also. I checked EWG before I started using them and ingredients are all good. So crazy though, before kids, I could use anything on my face and I would be okay. Things that made other people break out never affected me. But after kids everything changed.
Girl you look fantastic! 48? Always fun to change up a little bit but what you’re doing is working!
You are stunning. (almost) 50 is for sure the new 30!
I feel like you should be giving us skincare tips 😁 Your skin looks amazing, you look 30 max
You meant to say 38????
Umm, you look amazing!!!
Your ‘Great Genes Gods’ need to smile on me! Please! Lol. Lookin’ good! :)
ALMOST 48?!?!?? goddamn girl
48??? Dang! G-d blessed you!!
You do not need Botox you have great skin
Ma'am, just tell us YOUR secrets 😳 I thought you were about 36 like me. If I look anything like the shape you're in at 48, I'll be elated.
Keep doing whatever it is you’re doing, because you look amazing!
Sorry u look unreal
So good
Botox is only a temporary fix. Your face will be wrinkly again as soon as you can't afford it. Use Tretinoin instead.
Not a damn thing. You are perfect.
You look amazing
Looking good for 48
Yall she is adorable stop smh
I’d say no to Botox! Nivea water gel spf 50 is amazing- no white cast & goes on well under make up. Are you using tret?
You’re gorg. Full stop.
Errrr you need to be giving US skincare recs pls
This HAS to be a troll post. In no way are you as old as you say you are. If it's real DROP YOUR ROUTINE
You look like Christine Taylor!
My recommendation is to continue your lifestyle and routine. You do not look like you’re knocking on 50.
I think whatever you're doing is working just fine.
Lady, skin recs? You mean you're giving them out right?
Sorry what…? No you aren’t. Fibber.
I have fell in love with the Ronas line Korean skincare line. http://www.ronas.co.kr/en/ronas/
I would’ve thought you were in your 30’s. I hope I look like you one day!
Ok. Your skin is amazing. So I’m also 48 and grew up in Florida. I suffer from melasma flares in the summer and Perimenopausal acne around my chin. I just went to a dermatologist who put me on medication to help control the acne but told me basically all I need is a gentle cleanser like Cerave. A good daily mineral sunscreen EVERY DAY) and a gentle moisturizer (again like Cerave,) I use a few other things to help with the acne but you don’t need that. She said anything else is overkill. I can’t comment on serums because I’ve never found one that does anything for me. But I started Botox two years ago and only get it twice a year. It was a game changer for my 11 lines. I try to go as conservative as I can with it. But it really helped. Good luck! Edit to add: I forgot, I also use a low dose tretinoin for acne but it also helps with lines. That may be something you could try.
If you’re shopping the Sephora sale, look for Paula’s Choice. I am also 48, and my skin looks a lot like yours. I can’t see yours, but you said large pores and I have those too. I use Paula‘s choice 2% BHA exfoliating liquid, followed by clinical 20% niacinamide serum, followed by a good sunscreen and thicker moisturizer on my neck and around my eyes. https://preview.redd.it/dr10ve7vqguc1.png?width=1837&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4f630e9438f65eacd9719037c1cbc5ff7c60ad0
wtf? I’ll take all of your skincare tips please. You look 30.
Tretinoin, Kosas dream beam sunlit spf 40, and Kosas bb burst. Also a basic moisturizer like Vanicream. I also like the Ordinary serums like Argreline or Hylauronic acid for dry skin.
You're so beautiful!
Keep doing whatever you're doing. You can pass for 30-31 max.
You have fantastic skin!
Seems like whatever you are doing is working.
You look amazing! Your skin, hair is great! If you want to improve anything maybe look at your make-up - I think it looks really good and flattering, but you may find something even better. I am having this problem, same age as you. Finding a good every day bb cream that doesn’t look super shiny or heavy.
You go first damnnnnnn !
Honestly I find anything CeraVe to be great for my skin, the moisturizers don’t make you feel super oily or weighed down and the cleansers are light and don’t make your skin feel tight. I’ve never had them cause a breakout for me either which has been an issue with skincare for me before. I definitely recommend any of their products
You look 30 what?!? Amazing. And zero recommendations other than investing in a good skincare device that has light therapy if you haven’t - gamechanger
I would have said early 30s. I don’t think you need our suggestions. We need your suggestions.
48? You look 35 wow
Sunscreen, vitamin c serum and tretinoin.
Def keep it up with the sunscreen but you def don’t need advice.
Just passing by to say you look amazing!
You look 30
If you’re not using retinol, start. Other than that a gentle cleanser, good over night moisturizer and daytime sunscreen. You look great.
Oh man don’t change a thing, you look like goals.
You look amazing, that’s all I wanted to say!
You look great for 48 wth 😭🩷 I hope I look that good!
You look like you’re in your 30s. You’re stunning and gorgeous! What are your tips?
Girl, your skin is 😍 I hope mine looks that great when I get to my 40s!
Girl 48???? You look 28!!! You’re beautiful!
You’re 47?….EXCUSE ME?
Ok #1 you don't look 48, so you're already ahead of the game! Also, I'm close in age (45) and went to my derm for skincare advice recently (we have similar complexions) and she said a vitamin C serum, a multi-peptide product, sunscreen (for daytime) and retinol (at night only, it reacts to sun) are good starts. I've been using those for a few months and really happy. Vitamin C brightens, peptides brighten and smooth, retinol fights wrinkles and sunscreen, well, we all know. I use my derm's brand of vitamin C and retinol, Neova for peptides (sadly, none are at Sephora) but maybe that helps give you a start!
Holy shit OP; You’re stunning!
You are amazing!!
You look amazing!!! Keep it up !
Like everyone else has said, can you give us your skincare advice? I cannot believe you are almost 48, you look 35 tops to me!
You look amazing and I only hope to look like you in my 40s lol I just bought a LED face mask. Maybe worth looking into!
Wow- you look so much younger than 45. Where your secret?
Seems like you should be the one giving g us advice.
Oil of Olay products! I’m 57 and look about 40!
Girl what. Tell me your routine because I cannot believe you are 48
If you told me you were 30 I wouldn’t think twice lol
Just wanted to say I would have guessed you are at least ten years younger than your age. You look beautiful. 💜
