Navigating Mature Skin: A Creator's Retinol and Makeup Journey

In a recent video, a content creator shared her personal experience with makeup application and skincare for maturing skin. The creator, who noted significant changes in her skin over the past six months, demonstrated her routine for applying highlight, contour, and blush. She discussed her journey with retinol products, initially using a milder GoPure product, and then transitioning to The Ordinary's 0.5% retinol. She recounted her initial concern when the stronger retinol caused her skin to shed, describing it as a "sandpapery feeling." However, she later realized this shedding was a normal and intended part of the retinol's process, leading to smoother, "baby-face" skin. The creator emphasized the importance of understanding how different skincare products interact with maturing skin. She encouraged viewers to follow along for more insights into her aging skin and makeup journey.
