[Routine Help] Have very dry forehead and undereyes, no matter what I do. Could use some suggestions on possible under eye creams in particular, but suggestions on how to improve my overall routine are also welcome.
My routine:
- Lancome creme mousse confort comforting creamy foaming cleanser-this is one of the only cleansers I've found that doesn't dry out my skin even more and additionally doesn't break me out.
2.Hada Labo Goku-jyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. I've heard of some people using this as a toner for dry skin, so that's what I use it for.
3.Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
4.SkinLab treatment serum
5.Laneige balancing emulsion
6.Lancome Renegerie Lift Multi-action Eye Cream. Mostly just use this as it came with a set, but I've tried a few other eye creams and my eyes are still dry and..idk how to put this.. taut? It looks more dry than it feels half the time. The few other eye creams I've tried have actually made them more dry. I've tried SkinLab, a LaMer sample, and 2-3 others that I unfortunately cannot remember.
7.Aveeno Ultra-calming moisturizer. Not a huge fan of this, but I alternate between this and Loreal Hydra Genius when I'm tired of online shopping/run out of Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream..
8.Neutrogena Age Shield Broad spectrum Sunscreen
9.if it matters, for foundations I've been using BB creams (Mostly Maybelline), Koh Gen Do Aqua, or Josie Maran Vibrancy. Anything else lately and my face looks like a wrinkly desert.
I also use Tatcha One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil at night, Dr.Brandt Microdermabrasion exfoliator 1-2x/week and various hydrating sheet masks 1-2x/week. Mostly I am finding that my undereyes are super dry, and I'm concerned that this will speed up aging. It also just looks really, really bad and my makeup does not go well over it. I am in my mid 20's and already have some fine lines. I also am developing a "worry line"(yay anxiety) on my forehead, and my skin is also very,very dry in that area.
Any ideas on things I can do to help hydrate better? I had no clue what I was doing when I picked many of these items, I've just been desperately trying to hydrate but I am clearly doing something wrong.
