Any tips? And if you think its not a good idea, in what order do you clean your skin in? Does it go, cleansing, moisturizer, toner??

Anti-Aging creams simply reduce appearance of puffiness and wrinkles in different ways. It won’t hurt you, but it really won’t do much for you either.
A good skin care regimen is what I learned in school:
-Cleanse twice (once to remove makeup and dirt, second to actually treat the skin)
-Exfoliate with something gentle 3-4 times a week
-Mask once or twice a week with something appropriate for your skin type.
-Toner
-Moisturizer
I think you are really too young for this. All you need is a cleanser and basic moisteriser. Even at an older age, there is no proof that anti-aging products work..so don’t waste your money. You just need to find what works for you. I use Nivea cleanser and moisteriser and it works a charm. I’ve got smooth skin and no problems. In the past, I spent lots of money on anti-aging creams and none of them made a difference. I find the best to be: Nivea and MD Formulations. Nivea also has a range called Nivea Young which would be perfect for you. Also, avoid anything with mineral oil as this can block your pores. Good luck x
I don’t think it’s every too early to do preventative measures. (Is it ever too early to wear sun-screen?) I think it’s fine, it will help reduce what few problems you have. As for your cleansing order, I do cleanse, tone, moisturize.
hello i am a beauty therapist, trust me you don’t need to start using anti ageing cream it will be to rich for your skin and could cause millia and can be to thick and be to oily for your skin because anti ageing creams are for very dry skin cause that’s what happens as you get older. you need to just get a hydrating lotion and that is going to prevent fine lines and be anti ageing for you. Cleanse twice morning and night then toner not really that important,but some people like it then moisture morning and night, put an exfoliant cream for the face in the shower and please use no more than 3 times a week twice is enough over exfoliation at your age can over activate your sebum level which will produce more oil that’s when you will be creating more pimples hope this helped
