Hello everybody. I have been lurking for sometime and have finally decided to post. I took the test and scored as a DSNW though I can become oily in the summer and I am borderline N/P. I am fair skinned, blue eyed, and covered in freckles (since birth). I have some slight facial redness that I think is mainly do to extensive sun damage since I burn with or without sunscreen on. My scores were D-23, S-42, N-24, W- 58.
I have read a good amount of posts on different products to use but was hoping that somebody with similar scores can recommend some products. I would prefer paraben free if possible because my skin seems to itch less when I eliminate them. I am highly concerned about wrinkles and would like to get my skin barrier repaired so that I can start trying to use retinoids. I would also like to keep my routine as simple and with as few products as possible since I tend to be sensitive.
So I guess my questions would be-
What products would be good to use?
How do you know when you barrier is repaired?
Is there a good physical sunscreen that has minimal ingredients in it?
Sorry for the long post and thank you for any help.
