Skincare HELP!

Question

Hi! I'm 28 and know nothing about skincare. Not looking to be sold on specific products per se, but would love to know what to do, or what resources are good to help me learn. I want to prevent wrinkles and such, and I have Dry skin and mild acne. I know nothing of serums, creams, etc. Totally lost, but want to care for my skin the way I should (without a ton of time or money, I'm a mom). Thoughts, ideas, comments, recommendations? Thanks!!

Answer

I keep it super simple because that’s what works for me and my skin (dry/combination and sensitive) 
I always rinse with cool water in the morning and put some light vitamin E toner to keep it fresh during the day (I don’t wear makeup, but if you do the toner is a good base before your primer too). Nighttime I use a gel cleanser and either a thicker face cream or some maracuja oil... You can also add some eye cream if you want. Exfoliating scrubs are 2-3 times per month, I do a little less than once per week because it irritates my skin otherwise. 
Specific products you’ll probably have to use trial and error to see what works for you and your budget/preferences (I use tarte face wash and maracuja oil, garnier toner, ponds face cream, and st Ives apricot scrub).
The actual most important thing is to keep your skin at optimal hydration and to always always apply product upwards, never pull down on your skin. Eye cream should be patted on so you don’t pull the skin.
