35 YO. No skincare experience..? Help!

I have zero skincare experience besides using retinol occasionally.

I’m an interpreter, so my face and hands are literally my income-I don’t know if Botox is too high risk with those factors accounted for or not.

I also think I have MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) or another histamine related issue, so I get frequent but irregular facial flushing, often. However, I’ve never had an allergic reaction to medication. It seems to be foods with sodium benzoate preservatives and other random things that flare me up.

Open to any insight-including horror stories, great stories, etc.

I also love aging, I love my life so much and adore who I have become. I think it would be nice to enjoy less intense expression lines for a while.

Our family went through hell and back and I feel like I aged quickly in the last year.

However, we’ve got a family vacation; an engagement and small wedding and our first family photos ahead and it might be nice to look a little more rested.
