Born November 1992 Mildly sensitive skin, slightly dry, I will get closed comedones on my forehead if I don't chemically exfoliate after a week or so. My routine helps me to clear any comedones, moisturise, brighten, smooth out texture, reduce fine lines and protect against free radicals. I stay out of the sun as much as possible and always wear hat/sunbrella and upf clothing/gloves during daylight hours My cosmetics are kept in a designated skincare fridge at 5°C
