Does it have to be menstrual blood, or will any blood work?

A friend who is a dermatologist told me that the following have been confirmed scientifically:
- avoid sun exposure, smoking and alcohol
- healthy diet and exercise
- vitamin A creams (non-prescription retinol or get some tretinion/Retin-A from a dermatologist)
- moisture cream
- exfoliation with a wash cloth and a salicylic acid product a couple of times per week (clears dead skin layers, which helps your vitamin A cream and moisturiser get into the skin.

Anything else is either snake oil or of so little benefit that it's a waste of your time. The moisture cream and exfoliation may actually be a waste of time, depending on the climate you live in... a heavy workout followed by a shower or sauna would remove the need for exfoliation if you're living somewhere warm. If you can get away with only washing your face with water, you might not need the moisture cream either.

If you're in the US, you should be able to find everything in the supermarket. Price and quality are completely unrelated... $200 magic seaweed cream won't improve your skin.
