and my skin never looks better. All I do now is retin a and avocado oil. Hope this continues to work. It saves me so much time not having to do all the gadgets and exercises.

well...maybe your skin never looks better, because of all efforts you made before with all of this gadgets Wink

But it could be good news, if Retin A and this oil and even after some time will be the only skincare products that you need.

I was just about to say something similar, they might be looking better because of all the stuff you have done, and your skin and body has recuperated from that. I hope it continues for you!

Maybe your skin just likes a simply routine. Whatever the reason, it is great to hear that it is working for you!

I think its a good idea to give our skin a rest from all the abuse we hurl at it with our various gadgets. I like to back off for a couple of months every now and again and I can honestly say that I haven't turned into a prune.....yet Laughing

I recently (for the first time since last June) stopped doing full blown daily facial exercise (for a week) and my face looks so good but I'm a scaredy cat to get complacent. Tonight I was back at it with double barrels.

I love the way my face feels after I exercise and massage it - it just has to be good for you.
I never did get to the cupping or dermarolling or any of that.

Simpler is often better - we get so carried away with stuff (I'm in a full blown phase of using up probably 20 products).

I agree. Sometimes the skin is so bombarded with a ton of ingredients from all the different products. I think a lot of the time a more simplistic routine would yield great results if we product junkies could just stick to it! Laughing

I think I go through phases. Some I use a lot of different products and different tools. Some I use only the simplest. Right now I'm in the simplest mode. As long as I see my skin still looking good, I won't stir up the water. Smile It does help since I can use the freed up time to clean my house which absolutely needs cleaning. lol Laughing

hehehe Laughing I must admit to not being a consistent user. I sure have them all (or most of them) but I might try a few times, and switch to something else. I did try the LED for 3 full months. I was unable to tell if anything was happening though.

I let my skin take 1-2 days off skincare every week, usually over the weekend unless I'm not working, and it's not so bad, my skin is pretty normal on its own

I reckon my skin needs some time just to recuperate and rest from all the routines, masks, serums, creams etc. that I pile on it over the weekdays; I'm *very* diligent about skincare on days on which I'm working 'coz I'm in a fast pace, high stress job with long hours so I reckon my skin does *really* need all that stuff on weekdays Laughing
