5 days a week treatment should be perfect

in fact good to stay off any product one a week

Shabbos is perfect

u wash your face before shabbos and take a break

so is true for your daily vitamins

I'm also interested in creams. serums etc with natural ingredients only. The benefit of chemicals is not worth the risk for me. I've been using jojoba oil for a number of years and really love what it does for my skin, but I think I can use something more. Please post recommendations.

You and clover should search for clean beauty brands. Some websites have this option in their search engine.

my question is if I need to go with beauty brands if I want clean products.

are the actual oils like almond oil, jojoba, rosehip not good enough?

at least to start. then I will look into other natural stuff out there,etc

I was told I can use oil like jojoba oil as long as not to treat extreme dryness or something wrong.

pls spell out products, my security wont allow open your links

Thank you

Boot No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum

Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Facial Serum

Olay Regenerist Ultra Firming Face Serum

I prefer serums over creams because of sensory issues.
Serums are lighter weight, less greasy and absorbed faster into the skin.

I've been using the Boots and the Roc serums for years and I think they have been working wonderfully for me. The Boots just really brightens my overall complexion and the Roc Retinol works on the fine lines.
I've recently added the Olay Regenerist for the Niacinamide but I think the one I'm using is actually an older product and that there is a newer generation of Regenerist products.

To be honest, there are many competing products on the market that contain the same ingredients that might work equally well.
I think it's worth it for anyone who is interested to research key anti-aging ingredients like: Nicinamide, Retinol, Peptides, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and then to find products that contain them and to experiment.
There are many reputable and affordable drugstore brands to choose from: Neturogena, Olay, Loreal, Boots, Roc, Garnier are ones that I am familiar with.

just saw this. whats your view on this?

My view is that this is the website where he promotes his own products.
While I agree that creams may be formulated smarter and more elegantly than simple oils, in end many things in skin care are trial and error.

You can get a reaction from anything, be it an oil or a cream, or a cleanser.
