Re: Skin care routine
I'm thinking of looking into skincare starting this month, myself. I know I want an eye cream (I use Bobbi Brown's hydrating cream but I want something w/ anti-againg properties now). I also will be adding Vitamin C serum, a Hyaluronic Acid serum or cream as well as a night cream with retinol in it. I do like my makeup removal routine though but I also need an oil cleanser.
My current routine is simple. I use Purity Facial Cleanser, Oilatum Natural Repair Cream (the only downside is that I have to order from the UK) and my eye cream is Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream which I forget to use everyday at night but I do use it every time under my concealer.
Re: Skin care routine
Mine:
Morning: Bobbi Brown cleansing oil, Ultralight lotion ( Lush) has been discontinued but I managed to get a *mahoosive *sized bottle which is still going.
Night time: Nutriganics eye cream ( Body Shop), Johnson's baby lotion to cleanse and Clarins pore minimising serum ( if I remember).
Re: Skin care routine
I'm usually really lazy with my skin care routine :( but since the past few weeks i've been following it more diligently...
Liz Earle cleanse and polish, bio oil, followed by aloe vera moisturiser by thebodyshop, ( my morning and night time routine is essentially the same) i use the sanctuary spa radiance revealed exfoliator about once (twice max) a week in the evening.
When my skin feels really dry ( which is often!) I use thebodyshop Vitamin E moisture mask overnight.
About once and twice a week i use the brazened honey face mask by lush, and i absolutely love it!
I also find that when i drink a lot of water, my skin looks so much better and i break out less but these days i havent been drinking enough at allll
Re: Skin care routine
I cleanse my face with my glycolic cleanser and clarisonic brush. Then I apply my Image Vitamin C serum and rebalancing gel (for oily skin) from Boots No. 7. That's my day routine.
And then at night, it's pretty much the same. I might (once or a couple times a week)....wash face with glycolic cleanser, apply lactic acid wash,...and after my skin has been exfoliated apply a mask of manuka honey for about a half hour or so. Wash the honey off...apply a chilled toner (it contains witch hazel and aloe vera)...or I might even tone with cooled green tea. After toning...apply moisturizer (vitamin C serum).
Re: Skin care routine
^^imma gonna try this regime...i have combo skin..oily t-zone, dry around mouth/cheeks
slighly large pores (thanks for the genes mom)
Re: Skin care routine
Morning:
Splash cold water...apply Vitamin C serum....15 min. later apply sunscreen.
When I get home from work/gym (I usually go to gym after straight from work):
Splash with cold water. Wipe face/neck with Biore toner.
About an hour before bed:
Apply Retin-A or Alpha Hydroxy 12% Glycolic Soufflee (I alternate between these two).
If skin is a little dry or flaky, then right when I'm going to bed, apply argan oil (I give the RA or Glycolic lotion an hour to soak in).
** Every 3 weeks or so I do a lactic or glycolic peel. 2-3 days before and after the peel, I apply nothing but argan oil at night.

You guys have such intricate skin care routines. Did you guys go to the derm. or DIY research?

white heads r indication of acne. ur skin is trying to tell u that u r over doing it. change ur cleanser, ditch toner n st. ives scrub. instead use a retinol or glycolic product once a week. n do u make ur own sandalwood mask or its ready made? don't over exfoliate. use sun screen regularly.

^ :k:
Amaya: It really sounds like you’re over exfoliating your skin and that might be the cause of your acne.

LOL....I've actually simplified my routine over the last 2 years or so. And I also spend like 1/4 of the money I used to. No derm. visits. All as a result of HOURS and HOURS and HOURS of DIY research...along with trial & error (not everything works for everyone's skin). :)
Re: Skin care routine
I use loreal cleansing milk and toner .. my day starts with faceshop's peach facewash,then a splash a cold rose water after few mins i apply sunscreen.
i cleanse and tones with loreal..wash my face and sometimes i apply only glycerine,sometimes lancome hydrating gel and sometimes loreal hydrafresh creme i have an eye creme from Mac 'fast response' which i rarely use at night
my simple routine :)
Re: Skin care routine
i hav no particular routine. i can't stay committed for some reasons. so most days its neutrogena's acne face wash that i keep on for 5-10 mins then its x-tend life moisturizer or rose hip oil. sun screen somedays n not on others. at night some retinol cream n again moisturizer. once a week or may b once in two weeks conair's exfoliating brush(similar to clarisonic) and 55% lactic acid. apart from these i'm trying to do facial exercises whenever i get a chance. but again my inconsistencies.
i might return to sandalwood n rosewater as it gav me a real glow n very clear face last time(i used it for 2 months straight)

That is what I need to do as well. I started a bit of research but still need to learn a LOT. Any pointers or tips on where to get started? I'm 20 so I don't need hardcore anti-aging but want some things like eye cream, retinol, Vitamin C serum, Hyaluronic Acid serum or cream and also want to start Glycolic Peels, all for preventative measures. Any tips? <3
