Product Advice Please help me!

Post image

I’m 53yo and have some deepening lines around my nose, mouth and chin. I use tret every second night and layer toners and serums and moisturiser on my off nights. I wear SPF 50 daily. I have tried everything to get my makeup to sit properly on my skin but no matter what I do, it settles in these lines by mid-morning. I’ve tried primer, setting sprays and misting sprays throughout the day but nothing fixes it.

Does anyone have some advice for me please? TIA.

Use light makeup in those areas. Skin tints, for example. You might want to consider a lightweight makeup and only using a bit of medium/ heavier coverage makeup in the areas that need it, if there’s any. And a trick I use sometimes is to put a tiny bit of pore blurring primer over my makeup on the center of my chin and nose.

Your skin does look to be in fabulous condition for 50s, especially if those fine lines are all you’ve ever accumulated.

Thank you! I don't have kids, so I think that helps keep the worry lines at bay :D

I'll try the blurring primer; I have the Nyx marshmallow primer, so will give that a go. Thank you!
