You've got to wear sunscreen and you've got to use moisturizer. Add in tretinoin and estradiol cream, plus vitamin C, and people won't be able to guess your age!
This is a great, affordable Vitamin C option. I use it every morning to keep the discoloration and dullness at bay.
Vitamin C Complex Serum - Naturium
Another great Vitamin C option, should be used every day and when you want to treat yourself, try the Beekman 1802 version. Use link for 20% off.
Golden Booster Amla Berry Vitamin C Brightening Serum - Beekman 1802
This is a great moisturizer for mature skin. I use it at least twice a day, morning and night, and more often when I feel extra dry. It's supposedly a dupe for a more expensive option, but I love it as is.
Instant Angel Moisturizer | Lipid-Rich, Nourishing Face Cream - Dieux Skin
This is a new product from Dieux that I got to sample with my most recent order. I add it around my eyes and mouth on days when I feel extra dry, right before bed.
The One Thing That Can Save Dry Skin: An Occlusive. – Dieux
The best sunscreen available, though it might not be available for much longer in the USA. Get it while you can!
Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++) - Beauty of Joseon

Supergoop! New Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
This is a slightly lighter, gel version of the Instant Angel Moisturizer. If you are slightly younger, or have oilier skin, or if you want just a little bit lighter formula, this is a good option. I have used it in the past for daytime, and then Air ...
Air Angel Daily Moisturizer
This moisturizer is the best “cosmetic” option for a plumping daily moisturizer. What I mean by that is it is very noticeable when you use this on your skin in a cosmetic way--it is great for special events or if you want to look extra dewy on a part...
The Dewy Skin Cream Rich Line-Plumping Moisturizer
I honestly don't know what this stuff does. I'm serious--it just makes your skin so much more glowy. I use it in the morning after moisturizer, and though I don't think it has preventative benefits, it is amazing in terms of how it makes your skin lo...
Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier (H.A.) - SkinCeuticals
Skincare | Body
What to use to keep your skin smooth and beautiful, particularly if you are a huge perfume fan like me!
This lotion is so rich and so affordable. Great as an everyday moisturizer for your body skin.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Daily Skin Therapy
Great body wash, especially if you want your skin to be extra shiny before an event.
Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash
Pair with the Naturium Glow Getter Body Wash for extra moisture before an event.
