Aging Gracefully- The Ordinary Skincare

November 17, 2020 by Sharon

Aging gracefully gets harder every year. Good skin care is the key ingredient to maintain healthy aging skin. The Ordinary offers great products at low prices. Luckily, you can now buy their products at Sephora and Ulta. I’ve never bought a product that cost over $15.00!

I had a bad experience with Botox a couple of years ago (I will write about it some day). Since I will never use Botox again, I have been researching other ways to keep wrinkles at bay.

The Ordinary is one weapon in my arsenal against aging skin. I was first introduced to The Ordinary by my daughter. She takes extremely good care of her skin and found these products which she felt made a huge difference in her skin.

I started doing my research, and was overwhelmed by everything that The Ordinary offers. I had to find the right Vitamin C for my skin type and needs. It can definitely be a process, but doing your homework will ensure that you get the right products for you.

I first used The Ordinary’s Regimen Guide. I looked at products under each tab and looked for key words like “aging skin” or “dark spots.” Those are the products that I ordered for myself.

Today, I’m sharing my tried and true products from The Ordinary.

I do believe that I have seen the best results with this product. I use it almost every day. It goes on feeling a bit oily, but I blend in my sunscreen or makeup, and it feels great.

Is The Ordinary Skin Care Clean? The Ordinary products are all vegan and cruelty-free, as well as being free of parabens, sulphates and mineral oil.

How is The Ordinary so inexpensive? The Ordinary is a product of the DECEIM company which has other skin care lines. They don’t spend money on marketing so they can keep their cost down and just concentrate on products.
