Need help with skincare routine...

Post by lizziejo82 » Sun Dec 12, 2010 10:06 pm

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from SN and I'm not sure of the order in which to use them.My skin is very oily with some clogged pores, no acne. I plan on using the oil cleanser in the evening, followed by either an AHA or BHA. Can they be layered together? What would be a good moisturizer to use over this? In the morning I'm thinking of using Vit. C serum, pore-refining toner, oil control serum, and super serum. Does this sound good? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks! Liz

Hi,

Your am sounds good except that you might need a moisturizer.

I definitely would not jump in using AHA and BHA every night. They are both exfoliators and I recommend starting at no more than three times per week counting both of them. Then you might be able to work up to every night alternating them. As for layering them in the same application, I would seriously proceed with caution. I think you might be able to work up to that eventually. As for moisturizer, you could use the same as in the am. I can only recoemmend a basic one, since I know nothing of your age. Based on your skintype, I would try the Hemp.

Please, make sure you add in things slowly.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply! I should have said in my message that I have been using AHAs and BHAs for a long time now. I occasionally use the 15% bha serum peel from MUAC so my skin is very used to acids. As far as age I'm 28. I've been reading all the info on the forums and I do plan on trying the jojoba moisturizer for sure and maybe the hemp as well. This stuff looks great, can't wait to start using it. Thanks! Liz
