I've been sticking to this regime for a while now, and it's done wonders for my combination/acne-prone skin!

 

Morning:

 

Clinique Face wash for oily skin (really only trying to use this up. I usually use the Philosophy Purity cleanser)

Clinique Toner 3

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream (I have combo skin. This is the only moisturizer I have found that actually moisturizes my dry cheeks while not over-moisturizing my oily/normal t-zone!)

 

 

Evening

Yes to Cucumber Facial Towelettes to remove makeup, as well as the Clinique makeup remover

Philosophy Purity Made Simple with my Clarisonic Mia

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

Lush Enchanted Eye Cream (admittedly, I'm not the hugest fan of this, but I'm trying to use it up!)

 

 

Extras:

I'll do a face mask every once in a while (my all time favorite has been the Lush Mask of Magnaminty!), but I don't really have a set routine with it - just when I feel my skin is really clogged

I feel like I have such a simple routine :/

 

When I shower, Clean and Clear acne face wash... or if I'm super dirty or have a ton of makeup on, MAC Green Gel Cleanser

 

I use MAC Studio Moisture Fix for my daily moisturizer, and during the winter or when I'm overly dry, MAC Studio Moisture Cream. 

Mine isn't that complicated :)

 

Morning:

Superdrug(UK drugstore) face wash for combination skin

Rose water as a toner

Superdrug moisturiser for combination skin before I apply my foundation and if I use BB cream I don't use any moisturiser..(planning to invest in a moisturiser with spf)

 

Night:

Face wipes

Face wash

Rose water as a toner

Oil as a moisturiser

 

That's it :)

I have been super slacking on my face regimen and my face isn't happy with it. :(

 

Morning

Biore face wash 

Proactiv face wash 

Biore Toner 

Clean and Clear Face Wash

 

Night

Clean and Clear Face Wash

Biore Toner 

 

 

Extras- I may do a Mario Badescu face mask once or twice a week 

morning @ night i use proactiv 3 step plus there moisturizer

2 times a week i use there spin brush to efolliate

2 times a week i use there mask

 

i am still looking for an eye cream!

Morning:  Clarisonic with Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel, followed by Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner and Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid

 

Evening:  Makeup removal with either:  DHC Cleansing Oil or Noxema Deep Cleansing Cream.  If using the Cleansing Oil, I follow it with a light cleansing with Dove Moisturizing Bar.  In either instance, followed by Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner and Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream

 

Twice Weekly (evening):  Mario Badescu Flower and Tonic Mask

My skin is super sensitive so less is def more with me and I try to keep it as natural as possible.

 

MORNING

Warm water

moisturizing oil

Chanel moisturizer if I'm putting on make-up

 

NIGHT

Korress Milk cleanser

moisturizing oil

Aloe Vera gel

 

Exfoliate 3 times a week with Fresh Sugar Face Polish

At night - Apply a wet facecloth with hot water to open pores, wipe all over face

                Once your face has been wiped down with a steamy wascloth apply a facial wash, I use morning burst ( only one I have on hand )

                 Apply soap all over face then take a cloth and rub a bit of the cloth on a bar of soap and wipe any makeup stains on eyes or face. make sure the soap doesnt stink your eyes, baby soap works really well. Once you wipe all the left over eye makeup rinse your face and luke warm to cold water to close those pore and minimize any clog pores.

 

After I apply Vichy Normaderm to a cotton pad and rub all over my entire face, I love this liquid mircale because it reducse pore size, reness and uneven skin tone and it smells like anture, I LOVE IT.

 

After thats nice and dry apply either a moisturizer, i use Aveeno because I have extremely dry skin and this is the only cream that doesnt feel oily and after I apply it, it obsorbes right away instead of leaving your skin greasy and wet, it also moisturizes for 24 hours so in the morning my skins still nice and smooth.

 

 

In the morning, I really just follow through with washing my face and apply moisturizer, I don't put vichy on until before bed.

 

thats my skincare routine

I interested whats rose water?

I have dry and sensitive skin, and I've found that these products work for me 

 

Morning:

The Body Shop Vitamin E Cream Cleanser

The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner

Embryolisse Lait-Creme-Concentre

 

Evening:

Bioderma Crealine H2O

TBS Vitamin E Cream Cleanser

TBS Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash

TBS Vitamin E Hydrating Toner

A-Derma Exomega cream

 

2 times a week:

Origins Clear Improvement Mask

Origins Drink Me Up Intensive Mask

I've got an acne-prone, combination skin (in my laaaate twenties), but have found a regime that works for me, so I barely get any spots.

 

Every 8 weeks: a professional facial at a salon, whereby the skin is treated with steam to open the pores and then thoroughly extracted (I swear by it and think its the main reason for my skin to not break out anymore)

 

I've got the same routing AM/PM and just switch moisturizers and eye cream to be heavier in the evening

• Wash with Avene Cleanance, soapless gel cleanser
• Tone with La Roche Posay Physiological, soothing toner (alcohol free) or Vichy Aqualia Thermal toner
• Serum: Paula's Choice Skin balancing antioxidant serum

and moisturize with...

• AM: Pauls's choice skin balancing daily mattifying lotion SPF15 & Estee Lauder Idealist cooling eye illuminator. In winter, its not moisturizing enough so I use Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV SPF25.

• PM: Very lightly apply Guerlain Success future night cream & Guerlain Success future eye tech. In winter apply a bit more.

 

And exfoliate with grainy scrub twice a week and a mask once a week + Vitamin E capsule applied directly onto skin afterwards.

Most of my life i had clear skin with a bit of an oily T-zone. So i rarely gave much attention to my skin beyond basic cleansing.

 

But when i hit 60 a few years ago i figured i should probably start taking care of my skin. I had developed more or less mild rosacea on my cheeks, chin and nose, and i had some dark spots and dark patches on the sides of my face.

 

First, I worked my way through many Olay products (Definity, Regenerist, and Pro-X), most of which were way too highly perfumed and in jar packaging which does not protect ingredients sensitive exposure to air. Then i tried a variety of "high end" products, especially Murad Essential-C (orange), Resurgence (green), and Age-Reform (grey).

 

After much research into ingredients, earlier this year i started using mostly Paula's Choice products. While i use a lot of products, Paula's Choice are quite reasonably priced, so they're not expensive. And they really take very little time to apply - cleansing takes the most time.

(sounds crazy I know, but it works, my freckles are dissapearing by the day and my face is softer than a babies backside! :P) 

Before Christmas I got lazy for a couple days (cold and raining here) and while i cleansed my face, i skipped all the other stuff in my routine (above, 19 Nov 2012). Boy, was i sorry! My sensitive cheeks felt both hot and cold and sore, and the skin around my eyes hurt even if i didn't touch it.

 

So for a couple days i cleansed, and applied the anti-oxidant serum, an eye moisturizer and face moisturizer, and sunscreen, and skipped the exfoliator and hydroquinone cream. Skin felt much better, so i went back to full routine.

 

My daughter just came to visit, and again i skipped my full routine for one day. We've had freezing weather at night (very unusual here) and yesterday my face hurt again. So back to anti-oxidant serum and moisturizers. I think i've learned my lesson!

I use floral waters ( rosewater is said to be the best anti-ageing product ever for example ) and I apply a good moisturizer when the skin is still moist ( very important ).

I exfoliate 1 a week with a gentle scrub ( L'Occitane Ultra-riche ) and I sometimes use face masks.

I use a serum before my night cream.

I sometimes use ice on my face, roll over face and neck

 

What I never do : use a Clarisonic brush, sunbathing, smoking, drinking alcohol.

 

That's it !

 

Rose water is water based and derived from rose petals. Rose water has been used for many hundreds of years in facial products, especially those meant to be gentle or for sensitive skin. Some companies sell "rose water" products that are actually made of a certain amount natural rose water mixed with other ingredients. Here's more information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_water

My routine kind of changes depending on what the condition of my skin is/what the season is. But this is what it is now!


Morning:
Tone with either Lush's Rose Water or Sageborn Rose Toner
Apply Ole Henriksen's Vitamin C Serum
Apply either Origin's Vitazing or Clarin's High Protection Sunscreen (depending on season/where I'm going/what I'm doing)

Night:
Cleanse with Ole Henriksen's Vitamin C Cleanser (or any other cleanser that I've managed to pick up. It largely depends on the condition of my skin).
Tone with either Lush's Rose Water or Sageborn Rose Toner
Apply La Roche Posay's Effaclar Duo
Apply Nude's Day Radiance Moisturizer

Any recommendations, anyone? I have normal/dry skin that is occasionally prone to breakouts. I'm always looking for new products to try. Bit of a junkie, I'm afraid :) 

I have a fairly intense routine, and a costly one. 

 

AM:

Sisley Paris Gentle Eye & Makeup Remover (soothing before putting my contacts in and removes any leftover mascara  and eye-boogies)

Sisley Paris Lyslait Cleansing Milk with White Lily

Sisley Paris Floral Toning Lotion - Alcohol Free

Sisley Paris Moisturizer with Cucumber

Kate Somerville Multi-Active Eye Repair Cream

NARS Multi Protect Primer SPF 30

 

 

PM:

MAC Wipes

Kate Somerville Oil-Free Moisturizer 

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex

Kate Somerville Multi-Active Eye Repair Cream

 

It started off with some freebies and then I was hooked. My skin looks better than ever. Even my other half noticed, so I feel it's worth it. 

My morning routine:

 

Caudalie Gentle cleanser

Caudalie thermal bio water

This works perfect skin moisturizer

 

My night routine:

 

Garnier or Nivea make up wipes to remove make up or Caudalie gentle cleanser

Vichy Normaderm moisturizer or Liz Earl light moisturizer

 

Once a week I will use Caudalie Divine oil on my whole face at night, I always wake up with a beautiful glow on my face!

I exfoliate once a week with the Body shop vitamin C exfoliator, it's the best!

 

Less is more. I have combination oily skin and this works perfectly for my skin. Caudalie and this works brands are my all time favorite skin care brands (:

I wash mi face every single morning with Avene Cleanance. I apply a hialuronic acid lotion all over my face and around eyes and after ten minutes I put some Mac studio moisturizer. Before make up (like 5 minutes before) I apply Heliocare spf 50.

 

At night:

 

I take my make up off (with some milk, lotion, wipes...Whatever I have at the moment)

Cleanance by Avene.

Four or five nights a week I use glycolic acid.

 

I usually do this as soon as I get home in the evening. Before I go to bed I use Kiehl´s Ultra facial.

 

Twice a week I use Apivita green clay mask (wonderful to leave the skin very very soft and clean).

 

I also think that Clarisonic isn´t a good choice. 

Morning : I wash my face with an Eau Micellaire ( organic ), then I apply the Liérac Hydra Chrono Sérum + Nuxe Crème Fraîche ( new formula moisturizing and soothing ). Before that I use rosewater ( organic too ) all over the face.

 

Evening : I take my makeup off with a Kiko gentle makeup remover ( milk ) then Eau Micellaire and very often rosewater again all over the face. Hydra Chrono Sérum + Estee Lauder Revitalizing Cream ( I think it's for Europe only, it's quite a good cream though I much prefer Advanced Time Zone )

 

Scrub : once a week I use L'Occitane ultra riche, very smooth and good

Mask : Avène masque hydratant/apaisant

 

Lips : Kiko balms ( intensive balm, night balm )

 

Body : the Body Shop butters ( cocoa butter, chocolate, moringa, mango etc... depends on my mood ), Melvita l'Or Bio ( a very good organic cruelty free body oil ), or Caudalie l'Huile Divine also very good and delicate. And Nivéa body cream Pure Naturals as a firming cream. I also use l'Occitane Huile Amande which is excellent ( firming, nourishing ).

Cleansers : I use the Kiehls Ultra cleanser tith olay prox cleansing brush then follow up with Clean and Clear deep cleansing cream

 

 

Moisturizer: Day: Cerave am facial moisturizer spf 30

                  Night: Forever Living Aloe moisturizing lotion

 

Oil used nightly: Sweet almond oil

 

Toner: Clinique clarifying lotion step 1

Morning 
Lush's Aqua Marina or Let The Good Times Roll
Lush's Celestrial moisturiser/Olay beauty fluid

Night
Simple face wipes
Nivea's Pure and Natural cleanser

Lush's Celestrial again
I sometimes apply tea tree oil if I can feel a spot coming on.
 

Have been following this for around 3 years, though I sometimes switch moisturisers depending on the season
