Hi jen

Please could you recommend the best products as detailed below. I am 34 with hardly any lines (and I dont want any anytime soon!), oily t zone with medium pores in certain areas, although my skin can also be dry sometimes if I do not moisterise. My skin is slightly uneven from old acne scars but is gradually becoming more even. I am prone to the odd spot but this really depends on what product I am using and also what I have consumed, I really am the type that is 'you are what you eat'

For day I would like products that control my oily face and to make a clear smooth base in preparation for silk natural primer and foundation. For evening, I would like products that provide good moisture, prevent wrinkles and does not make me oily.

So based on the above, please could you recommend your best products for me in the following items:


Cleanser
Exfoliator (once/twice a week usage)
Toner for daily and nightly use - can be one product or 2 separate ones for day and night
Serum/s for day
Moisteriser for day
Serum/s for night
Moisteriser for night

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Sophia

Cleanser Try KISS cleanser. You don't need much, and I really like it with a foaming bottle.
Exfoliator (once/twice a week usage)Microdermabrasion Gel or AHA Toner...The first is a manual exfoliator, and the latter is chemical. It would not hurt to try both. Just be sure to work usage frequency up slowly and spread times of exfoliation out,meaning don't do both on the same day once you have increased frequency.
Toner for daily and nightly use - can be one product or 2 separate ones for day and night Pore Refining Toner. You could also try the Lavendar Toner, but the other has a little more of what you need.
Serum/s for day Super Serum if your skin can handle it. It is pretty strong for some, so make sure you sample this first.
Moisteriser for dayTry Firming Moisturizer.
Serum/s for nightVitamin C Peptide. You can use this both in the day and night if the Super Serum does not work for you.
Moisteriser for nightFirming Moisturizer here, too.

Thank you as always Jen.

Is the Jojoba moisteriser ok to use during the day over the green tea & aloe serum? or will this make me oily?

I think I would prefer to use the jojoba in the day and the firming at night.

Thank you

It would be hard for me to say if the Jojoba Moisturiser will make you oily or not...that is dependant on your skin and sometimes even the season, and it can even change over time. But you can certainly use it in the day and the Firming at night.
