Here's the skincare routine blog post with even more detail: amodelrecommends.com/p/my-skincare-routine-at-age-45?utm_source=publication-search

Note: I have recently switched things up a bit for summer after my skin started breaking out. There will be a new video soon, but for now, the main changes are as follows. 1) Proper cleanse in the morning rather than my cheat's cleanse! 2) Using a BHA acid every evening after cleansing and 3) switching to a mineral sunscreen, which generally tends to give me less issues.

Any questions, let me know!
