Bunny Asked: Can you help me choose a skin care routine?

Hi. I am brand new to skin care and have been reading up on products and trying out various homemade remedies. But – again as I am new to it – I don't really know very much about it. I know the basics and what to look for in my skin care products, but when I look at all these products and there reviews I just get very overwhelmed. I am looking for someone who can help me, who has the same type of skin as I do, pick out the skin care routine I need! I recently started using a homemade facial that consists of avocado and (a small amount of) olive oil and while it has helped with my dry skin (winter) it has caused a few pimples and when I put it on my skin still reacts with redness and (a bit) of irritation.

Here is a little bit about my skin: I am in my early 20's and because of the way my smile is I have fine lines under my eyes, fine lines starting around my mouth and one on my forehead. I am fair skinned (in other words pale) and my skin is VERY (VERY) sensitive. I also rarely break out with pimples unless I do use something on my face. There is rosacea on my cheeks as well (which is also very annoying). I am looking for skin care products THAT ACTUALLY WORK and will also help reduce wrinkles and just overall take care of my skin (redness, little irritation bumps). I get plenty of sleep, drinks loads of water, started taking fish oil and a vitamin for b6!

How is Olay's products? How is Simple?

Best answer goes to the most helpful, who also includes links of where they got there information and an email so I can learn more about caring for my skin! Thanks!

The olive oil and avocado is a very good treatment for dry skin; however, it sounds like you might have a slight allergic reaction because it irritates your skin/makes you break out.
Since you have sensitive skin, you need to be careful what you put on it. Just putting this out there though- it takes time to find a skin care routine that works for you.
Olay has great moisturizers that are nonirritating. My family and I have all used Olay for years, and it works very well.

Olay Complete SPF 30 Defense Daily UV Moisturizer – Sensitive Skin: http://www.olay.com/skin-care-products/c

Cleansing:
Oatmeal is a soothing home treatment-

You can use it as a daily cleanser.
Another cleanser that's gentle is Cetaphil: http://www.cetaphil.com/products/gentle-
You can get a big bottle for not very much, or a double pack at Costco.

Night Cream:
This Olay product will help fight wrinkles: http://www.olay.com/skin-care-products/A

Anti-Aging:
I've heard lots of good things about Olay's Regenerist Line: http://www.olay.com/skin-care-products/a

Sunscreen:
Since your skin is fair, it's extra important to use sunscreen every day. I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen in SPF 70+ (this link is for SPF 30 which should actually be enough for a daily basis): http://www.target.com/p/Neutrogena-Ultra
However, since your skin is sensitive you may want to try Aveeno's products/sunscreens.
