I am not a dry skin person! I am super oily and acne prone.
I learned long ago that you have to treat all skins differently. Dry skin folks would NOT want to use my oily/acne prone routine. They have way different issues than I have.
So if you are a normal or dry skinned person but want to avoid wrinkles keep reading....
In the morning...AM routine
Upon waking in the morning...splash water on your face...and cleanse with AM PM makeup removing cleanser. This will wash off any residue from your retinols etc. If showering then wet face...use small amount of cleanser and with your clean hands, lather cleanser and then apply to face and neck. Rinse.
Now it is time for your treatment cleanser. Even if you have dry/normal skin you still need chemical exfoliation...Glycolic acid is the best for this. This helps to rid your skin of old cells...cellular turnover. So new fresh cells come forward.
I love this Glycolic cleanser and This Glycolic cleanser. You may chose to skip the other cleansing step and just do the Glycolic treatment cleanser. That is perfectly fine especially being that you are sans makeup first thing in the am. It's up to you. If it makes you feel too tight then just do the Glycolic cleanser.
I love This moisturizer for all skin types. It soaks right in and feels great on the skin. (Also great for evening makeup application when the sun has gone down and you don't need SPF.)
Best SPF ever! is next. This is the absolute best SPF I have ever found. Great for acne types, dry, oily, dry with acne issues, mature skins...everyone!

You are ready now for your makeup...if you so choose.
In the evening....PM routine
Cleanse to remove debris, makeup, oil, and dirt using this AM PM makeup removing cleanser.
Use AM/PM makeup removing cleanser on clean hands...lather...use fingertips to help gentle remove eye makeup, mascara, and get your face squeaky clean. I have to do this step twice...to rid my face of all of my makeup.
Next use your treatment cleanser with your brush cleansing system. You need very little Glycolic cleanser as the brush helps to glide the cleanser across the skin. Leave this cleanser on 1 minute using your brush as a massager....gentle massaging into forehead, cheeks, neck...beside ears...chest...
Rinse.
Clean towel blot. No rubbing.
If you are not showering in the evening...them you will splash water on your skin with clean hands. Use your AM PM makeup removing cleanser to remove all makeup including eye makeup...and dirt. I am a firm believer that the more rough you are on your eye area the more wrinkles you will have. So be very gentle always with eye area. No tugging, rubbing, pulling on this area. Cleanse very gentle also.
Then use your brush with your Glycolic cleanser all over gently massaging into skin as stated above. Rinse thoroughly...30 seconds to ensure all product is removed.
Clean towel blot. No rubbing.
After your skin is dry. Use two pea sized amounts of retinol all over your face, neck, and one more pea amount for your chest. I have seen so many women have beautiful wrinkle free faces with horrible sundamaged necks and chests - use sparingly on those two area - only 1-2x a week.
Start out on your face 3-4x a week - if you become to peely or dry or red - back off and use less often.
If you feel like you need a moisturizer over your retinol - use This moisturizer which is the same as you used in the am.
With retinol - always wear spf daily - as it can make your skin very sun sensitive.
After using the .5 retinol for 6 months or so - you may move up to retinol .1%
Thats it - NOW wear your spf!
