And just personal experience coconut and aloe are the only things that DON'T break me out. I can get away with olive oil lately because its been so dry.

I agree 110%!!!
Coconut oil is one of the best natural oils you can use to moisturize with, since it is absorbed into the skin so easily.

Board certified dermatologist Leslie Baumann says not using a retinoid is one of the 6 big skincare mistakes.

I do facials also but what Dr. Baumann is saying is that facials are not key to prevent wrinkles & sun damage. Retinoids & sunscreen are really your best bet.

I think a lot of it is genetic and case-by-case. My grandma washed her face with water and baby-oil. She had beautiful wrinkle-free skin until she passed away. If I do that, I get huge painful zits that take forever to go down. I do agree about the retinoids though, just started using AHA and it's giving me fairly clear skin 3 weeks out of the month.
