Is There a One-Size-Fits-All Anti-Aging Skincare Routine?

[Tracy’s Question appeared yesterday.]

Great question, Tracy! It’s a bit of a challenge too, since my Top 10 Skin Care Picks and Top 10 Affordable Skin Care Picks are not designed to be put together into a complete skin anti-aging routine. They’re “just” the best of the best, regardless of product category.

So, starting with those lists and filling in the blanks, here are two programs, one budget-conscious and one for in the case that money is no object. It would be fine to take items from both as well, just choose one product from each category which your skin needs.

Not all women need or want to use toner. Not all need both a serum and a moisturizer. As for eye creams and serums, the choice depends on what conditions are present (dark circles, bags, lines and/or wrinkles).

Do you see why no one list fits all? With that said, here goes …
