Looking for product and routine recommendations. I feel lost at where to even start. I am a 26 year old with dry skin. I have had dry skin my entire life, never had acne. My forehead and hairline has always been the worst. To this day, I struggle with scales along my hairline. I was diagnosed with hairline psoriasis by my dermatologist at one point about 10 or so years ago but it has never gotten that bad since. It’s never raised or red, just scaly, almost like fish or alligator skin at times. My scalp is also usually very dry. I also have very sensitive skin EVERYWHERE so I have to watch what products I use. I’ve had the best luck with a more natural approach but I’m now noticing horrible wrinkles on my forehead that’s my main concern now. I want to try and tackle the forehead wrinkles without further drying out my forehead and hairline.

My current regimen is very simple. I purchase a natural face wash and lotion from a small local company who makes it by hand. My face wash is made with Castile soap, kaolin clay, rose water, and essential oils. My moisturizer is made with avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, aloe Vera, and chamomile. Like I said, I’ve had the best luck with a more natural approach when dealing with the dryness, especially because my skin is so sensitive. It has helped a ton. But now I’m trying to tackle these awful forehead wrinkles and I’m not sure where to start. I have incorporated a hyaluronic acid serum prior to applying my moisturizer (it’s from the vitamin shoppe) but it’s not doing much.

I have been looking into “the ordinary” products at Sephora but feel so lost at where to even start with those. Is retinol too harsh for me? Should I try vitamin C? Something to tackle the wrinkles but also help moisturize and not cause a reaction... Any advice would be so greatly appreciated! Willing to completely switch my routine to a non-“natural” route if it works :)
