I'm lucky to have good skin. I grew up in hot, dry San Joaquin Valley in California and got lots of sun. I've never been one to wear makeup on my skin. A little lipstick now and then, but not foundation or other pore cloggy stuff.
I'm 64 and other than smile wrinkles, I think my skin is really good. Heredity does have a lot to do with it, but my sisters didn't all get the good skin genes.
I just keep my face clean, I use a exfoliating glove to wash it, a gentle one. I don't use soap on my face. Just a lotion with aloe in it when it feels dry.
