My Latest Skincare Routine

As many of you know, I wrote about my very simple skincare routine in my book: Whatever: How to Look Younger Than Your Actual Age (for the audiobook version click here).

Well, I joke, but seriously, as soon as I published the book, I felt like my skin started to show signs of aging! Where did all of these age spots and skin tags suddenly appear from? And what is up with this wrinkle in the middle of my forehead?

So, I knew it was time to take drastic measures and ramp up my skincare routine. As soon as I went home to the US for Christmas, I was able to consult with our dear family friend, Dr. Jovy Eusebio of Potomac Skin Care, who gave me a fantastic plan to get my skin back to its youthful appearance.

I told my friend Janine about my 6-7 step night and day process, and she told me to do a YouTube video about it. I may still do that, but in the meantime, here are some of my swear-by products that are now part of my arsenal and I have seriously seen an improvement. Yay to being almost 50!
