Looking for tips and tricks to come up with a skin care regimen for myself (31, F, with a beautiful baby). My goal is to get a glowing healthy skin in 3 months. The idea is to inculcate good habits, and hopefully some of them will stick for life. Any suggestions, beautiful men and women? Diet suggestions welcome, work out suggestions welcome, beauty tips welcome... basically all suggestions welcome :)
You could also just share your inspiring story and that will keep me motivated enough ;-)
Thank you!!

I was wondering if there is any scientific basis to the idea that using moisturizer improves the texture of skin to the point that it prevents aging. My thoughts are that if moisturizer did what it claimed to do, no one would ever need an acid peel or botox. Does spreading emollient on your face actually really do anything apart from line the pockets of cosmetics companies?

Is this too good to be true? Is this 32 oz bottle of Retinol serum really stronger and considerably cheaper than this 1/2 oz bottle? Chemists, aestheticians, and mathematicians, lend me your ears.
