A 50-Something’s Guide to Skincare and Makeup
You know you’re doing something right when your dermatologist asks you what you use on your skin!
I’m 57 years old so I know first hand that as we age we need to change up our skincare and makeup routine.
I love beauty products so I thought it would be fun to share my current favorites.

AM Routine
- Rinse face with water
- Vitamin C Serum
- Peptide Serum
- Eye Cream
- Moisturizer
- Sunscreen
PM Routine
- First cleanse – cleansing balm to melt away makeup
- Second cleanse – CeraVe face wash
- Peptide Serum (I use a different one at night)
- Eye Cream
- Tretinoin (wait 10 minutes after applying serum)
- Moisturizer
My ride or die – Tretinoin!
Ask your doctor for a prescription and work your way up gradually, starting with once or twice a week until your skin can tolerate using it on a daily basis.
That’s what’s in my skincare bag.
