^^ Exactly (what you use to wash your face with)… I use some pretty high-end products because I don’t mind paying for the ongoing consultations/recommendations from someone who knows that product inside and out - hmmm… don’t get me wrong, I’m not paying at those consultations, but I am fully aware that I am paying extra for the product. A few years ago I decided I didn’t need to see an aesthetician to tell me what I needed to use, that I could determine that from the website of the products I use. Slowly, over time, I noticed my skin was just really starting to look bad - very reactive, big dry spots on either side of my nose that wouldn’t go away despite using lots of moisturizer there, blackheads, etc. (I’m very grateful that throughout my life, I’ve never had acne problems). I had to find a new rep because the old place I had gotten these recommendations from was no longer carrying this product. So when I found the new rep and took in the products I’d been ordering online, she looked at my skin and told me I was using the wrong products - I’d also hit that age where decreased estrogen was starting to be a factor. So she gave me some new recommendations, and within a couple of weeks my skin was back to looking MUCH better. But aside from the moisturizer, I needed to change what I washed my face with. What I had been using was really drying out my skin. I also had never been much of a sunscreen user because I’d never found one that didn’t leave me feeling oily or greasy. Since I’d last met with my first aesthetician, the product line I use came out with a facial sunscreen; my new aesthetician gave me some samples, and I now I use it every day (even on cloudy winter days when I don’t go outside at all), and LOVE it.
