STEP2 Talk about what you do for skincare.
As I get on in years, my skin is getting drier. Skincare has become tricky because of my dry skin type. In the winter, my face gets bone-dry. Unless I moisturize properly, I get dry patches on my face and crow's feet around my eyes. Between seasons, I always have severe skin trouble. In my 20s, I had adult acne. This made my pores wider. My skin has become less supple and I have more wrinkles now that I'm older.
