Thank you so much for this. Bought these and love them both!! Do you have any other tips ?

| At 50 all my friends and I seem to be dewy from hot flashes. |
NP. I don't know if anyone in this thread has suggested it yet, but you could try "slugging." Look it up. It's basically putting a layer of vaseline or something like Aquaphor on top of your regular moisturizer and letting it sit for hours or while you sleep. Some people get that dewy/glass skin look from it. Make sure to exfoliate before you do it so your skin can soak in the moisture. |

How do you avoid making your pillow a greasy mess? |
| Dewy skin at any age is about skin barrier and skin cell turnover. if you're not using retinoid or retinol already, start with a gentle one, with regular use. If you're not breakout prone, A313 is a great affordable starting point for this. A gentle exfoliant 1-2x/week (don't overdo it, can strip your barrier). Use a vitamin C in the morning, followed by SPF, absolutely religiously. And have a great barrier supporting serum and moisturizer - I love Dieux for both of these, but there are so many great options. |
NP but I only recommend this for dry-tending skin, and you only need the TINIEST amount of aquaphor or vaseline. I mean truly a teensy amount. Don't go nuts with this. Your pillowcase will be fine. |

| If only OP's delusion could become a skin cream. |
Don't use vaseline or aquaphor around your eyes or you'll get milia. |
Not greasy or shiny at all. And it doesn't take long. I forgot I also do peptide serum occasionally at night: https://www.mariobadescu.com/product/super-peptide-serum |
