Reddit mentions of Aria Starr Rosehip Seed Oil Cold Pressed For Face, Skin, Acne Scars - 100% Pure Natural Moisturizer - 4 OZ

After looking at your skincare and assuming you are a dry/normal skin type as you've posted, your routine is very invasive and more suited for an acne prone oily skin. The products you use are excellent because they are dermatologically effective, but you need to cool it with all the chemicals morning and night.

1. You shouldn't be worrying about what kind of cleanser you use but what kind of moisturiser you use for different seasons. Skin is drier during the winter so you need to use a richer moisturiser. And as you have pale skin it is also important you use a fitting moisturiser for the summer. For your skin type I recommend the hydrating cleanser, the foaming cleanser will be too drying.
   
2. BHA/AHA/Retinoids are too invasive for your eye area, stay clear from your eye area unless its an eye cream specifically for your under eyes. The formulation for under eyes and face is slightly different as your under eyes are more sensitive than the rest of your face, do this and you will have less wrinkles in the long run. If you want a good eye cream for dark circles I recommend this french brand.
   
3. Sure you can use BHA and AHA on your body but thats just a waste of money and time. The products you use on your face will have little to no effect on your body because the skin on your body is more thicker and resilient. I recommend exfoliating with a naturally derived product and moisturise your body as well because the moisture in your body's skin is as much important as your face. Mixing a few drops of rosehip oil to your moisturiser should help lighten the acne scars lighten over time.
   
4. I don't know what kind of skin products you mean, but simplicity is best. Use a moisturiser at night and then sunscreen on top during the day.
   
5. You don't need to lotion your whole body because your skin naturally produces oils to protect and moisturise itself. Make sure you do not shower or bathe in hot water because it strips your body from these natural oils, but if you have dry skin use the CeraVe lotion.
   
6. You will be more efficient and less messy as you become used to cleansing, grow a pair and suck it up.
   
7. Never self medicate or diagnose yourself with products you've researched on the internet, if you have rashes on your beard it is most likely because of the type of razor you use. You need to make sure you change your razor as frequently as possible (prevent bacterial infection) and also make sure the razor isn't too rough on your skin. Rashes could also be because your skin is dry (moisturise) or clogged follicles (use tea tree oil with your moisturiser).
   
8. Your normal moisturiser should be fine.
   
9. We don't actually reapply sunscreen, but we have sunscreen built into our foundation as well, so there is another layer of protection when we go out. Just make sure you carry a hat with you on extremely hot days, and wash your face and reapply sunscreen if you sweat during the day.
   
10. I prefer the pump as tubs are tricky to use in that you could contaminate the whole tub by dipping your fingers in. Pump is more hygienic and you can add a few drops of oil to your lotion if you want extra moisture.

Thank you so much! I have a fairly simple, natural routine. Wash face with Sea buckthorn and tea tree bar soap, use a light astringent like witch hazel after, in the morning I’ll use a few drops of pure rose hip oil that I massage in, then just Cetaphil moisturizer. At night it’s the same thing except I use sea buckthorn and tamanu facial oil from Chagrin Valley instead of the rose hip oil. When I need a gentle exfoliant I use Lush’s Angels on bare skin and a cucumber mask for added hydration right after, I do this 2x a week. I hope this helps and good luck on your journey!

You should! I use this one I bought a couple months ago. The bottle is HUGE and since you only need 2-3 drops, it lasts forever. There’s a ton of other name-brand options, too. Good luck!

Absolutely! Your welcome.

I personally chose to take my collagen in capsule form because the powders tasted funny and it was too much maintenance for me. I’d always forget to add the powder to my drink.

The rosehip oil from The Ordinary in particular is very popular on this subreddit, I'm sure it's wonderful. I personally bought this one from Amazon and have no complaints: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9XS6B6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AV5WCbYZK4MAZ

The most important things are that of course, it's 100% pure oil, and that it's cold-pressed so it has the greatest efficacy.

That's what I use but there's other options that are all also 4.5 stars, so they probably also work well.

My co-worker's son had really bad acne, painful and red, and I recommended that he try this and using just this as a moisturizer after a gentle wash changed his world. I can't believe when I see him now the difference!!
