Sharing my tried and true skincare routine for those of us edging ever-closer to 40. I've refined the steps and products mentioned here over many years and many changes to my skin. I now focus on hydration, effectiveness, and gentle but potent care. You'll notice most of the products mentioned are from Korea. There is a reason for that - skincare products from Korea are more gentle, more innovative (hello snail mucin!) and focus on prevention instead of just correction. I've also noticed the prices of Korean products are much lower than that of Western brands. One caveat - beware of dupes!!!
These are my tried and true products that I use daily. They would make incredible gifts for your mom, cousin, daughter, friend, etc. Not actually gender specific, just speaking to what I know.

This is my personal list of recommended products for those undergoing Accutane treatment. I'm not a dermatologist and I kept using the products my dermatologist prescribed, but whenever I ran out and hadn’t bought a replacement yet, these were a nice alternative. Remember, what works for me may not work for everyone, so consulting a professional is important, especially if you have any doubts. As for my experience with accutane, as time passed, my skin became extremely dry, itchy, and hypersensitive, and I eventually developed eczema. Accutane makes hydration essential, and these products helped keep my skin moisturized while also soothing sensitivity.
