You ask me about this “morning C evening A”? Sounds like some fancy city folk talk. Back in my day, we just washed our face with well water and maybe slapped on some lard if it was real dry. But okay, I hear all the young people talking about this skincare. This old lady will tell you what I’ve heard.
First, let me say, this ain’t easy to keep track of. Too many steps, if you ask me. But here’s what they say you gotta do. C is for that Vitamin C serum, you put that on in the morning, they say. And A is for, uh, what’s that fancy word… Retinol. You use that at night.
Morning C, they say it makes your skin all bright and shiny. Like a freshly polished apple. And it helps with the sun, you know? We didn’t have all these fancy sunscreens when I was young, but I guess the sun is meaner now or something. The Vitamin C serum, they say it’s like a shield for your face.
- Wash your face with water.
- Put on that Vitamin C serum.
- Then some cream to keep your face from drying out, a moisturizer they call it.
- And don’t forget the sunscreen! Very important, they say.
Now, the evening A, that’s a whole different story. That Retinol stuff, it’s strong, I hear. Makes your skin all new again, like a baby’s bottom. But you gotta be careful with it. Don’t use too much, or your face will be redder than a rooster’s comb!
They say you gotta wash your face first, get all the dirt and grime off. Then you put on this Retinol stuff. Just a little bit, mind you. And then more of that moisturizer cream. You don’t want your face to dry up like an old prune. They are talking about four minutes, two minutes or something, I don’t understand.
- Wash that face, good and proper. Use some soap this time.
- Wait for a bit, let your face dry.
- A tiny bit of that Retinol.
- More moisturizer, keep that skin soft.
Now, I hear some folks talking about some other stuff too, these “exfoliating” and “toning” things. Exfoliating sounds like you’re scrubbing your face with a brick! They say it gets rid of the dead skin. Sounds painful to me. And toning, well, I don’t even know what that means. Maybe it’s like tuning a fiddle? Makes your skin sing?
Honestly, it’s all a bit much for this old lady. But the young folks, they swear by it. They say it keeps their skin looking young and fresh. Me, I think a good night’s sleep and a little bit of sunshine does the trick just fine. But if you want to try this morning C evening A thing, go ahead. Maybe your skin is concerned, so you need that to treat it. Just remember what I said: don’t overdo it! And don’t forget that moisturizer. You don’t want to end up looking like a dried-up old apple core. Consistency is the key, they say!
This “morning C evening A” thing is all about keeping your skin healthy, I guess. Like tending to your garden. You gotta water it, weed it, give it some sunshine. Same with your face, I suppose. You gotta clean it, protect it, and give it what it needs. These serums, they are like the fertilizer, I reckon. They give your skin that extra boost.
But don’t get too caught up in all these fancy products. The most important thing is to be happy and healthy. A smile is the best beauty secret, you know. And it don’t cost a dime! Eat your greens, drink plenty of water, and get some fresh air. That’s the real secret to good skin. Don’t need no fancy serums for that.
Now, I’ve heard some people say you should only use this Retinol stuff a few times a week. It’s strong, like I said. You don’t want to shock your skin. Start slow, see how your face reacts. If it gets too red or itchy, maybe you need a break. Listen to your skin, it will tell you what it needs. Like we listen to the weather, right? If the weather is too harsh, we stay inside. Same with your skin, if it tells you it is not happy, you better listen.
And don’t forget to drink lots of water. Water is good for everything. Keeps you hydrated, keeps your skin plump. Like a juicy watermelon. You don’t want to be a shriveled-up raisin, do you? So, drink your water, folks! It’s the cheapest beauty treatment there is.
Another thing, they said is to cleanse your skin. This cleanser thing, it is like soap. But I guess it is fancy soap for your face. If you put makeup every day, you might need this cleanser thing. Otherwise, I think water is good enough.
So there you have it. This old lady’s take on this “morning C evening A” craze. It’s up to you if you want to try it. Just remember to be gentle with your skin, and don’t forget the basics: cleanse, moisturize, and protect. And most importantly, be happy in your own skin. That’s the real beauty secret. This skincare routine, I don’t know, maybe it works. But I still think a good laugh and a kind heart make you more beautiful than any serum. You young people can try all these fancy things. Me? I’ll stick to my well water and sunshine. And maybe a little bit of lard when it’s cold out.
