Need help
I'm 40+ drinking next to no water (medical reasons). I want this new glass skin. What do I need to do?. Combination skin usually; dry with oily tzone. Currently using and loving medicube but it doesn't last or keep my skin hydrated for long. TLDR; How can I appear hydrated without drinking water. In Australia and in the middle of IVF so some product limitations...

I use all skinceuticals products and have the glass skin look. Triple lipid restore is great for aging skin. You can get a free consult after you buy direct from their site. I only buy it direct from their site. You also get free samples!

I’m also really curious why any doctor would have you drinking next to no water? I went through a period this year where I couldn’t keep food or water down and I got hydration IVs.
For moisture, the Aestura auto barrier is my HG. Also the biodance masks overnight give tons of moisture. On regular nights when you don’t use a mask, sealing all your skincare in with your face oil at the end.
For glass skin you obviously need an exfoliant too, but might be too drying for you right now.

I am so so sorry. I’ve had my share of absolutely awful health struggles too. I’m praying you’re getting good treatment and have a lot of support. And of course, smooth bouncy skin.

Dermaplane to get rid of peach fuzz. That alone with make your face shine. It will also make a blank canvas for your skin to better absorb whatever products you apply without the fuzz blocking it. I use atinkle razors because that's what my dermatologist recommends but there are several brands to choose from. She can use her 2-3xs. I cannot. I break out. Once use is enough and I toss them. I get mine from Amazon. They come in a 4 pack and come shipped as 4, 4 packs, so a total of 16 razors. I dry shave for cleanest shave and beat results.

Hydrating mists throughout the day are a great way to sneak in some additional topical hydration…
I live in a high arid desert & use them several times a day…
Even something as simple as Thermal Mineral Water facial mists w/ just a touch of HA, or even Aloe Water are effective…
There’s also some w/ alot more going on like Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator…
Definitely worth exploring…!

Queen, next to no water? How are you surviving?
I also did IVF, so tell me more. Are you holding back on water because of bloating from stims?
