[semtexgirl]

Re: Skincare routines??

Morning:
DHC Cleansing Oil
Neutrogena Oil-Free Toner
Proactiv Repairing Lotion
Avon ANEW Ultimate Eye Cream
Avon ANEW All In One MAX Perfecting Cream SPF15

Evening:
DHC Cleansing Oil
Neutrogena Oil-Free Toner
Proactiv Repairing Lotion
Avon ANEW Ultimate Eye Cream
Blistex Lip Medex (gotta keep the lippies soft and moisturized right?)

Once I week I use Bee Good Honey Buff Facial Scrub by True Blue Spa (Bath & Body Works) to exfoliate and follow with Pure Simplicity Pumpkin Face Mask (also Bath & Body Works). I may stop using the scrub soon, b/c when I first started using it the jojoba beads in it exfoliated without feeling scratchy. Now I have to be really gentle while using it b/c the beads feel like sand.

Re: Skincare routines??

I have oily, VERY acne-prone skin that gets dry very easily as well. I've been battling acne for yeaaars, trying different products and different routines.. so far sticking to this routine seems to help

AM:
Wash w/ Purpose Gentle Skin Cleanser
Moisturize with Olay Complete SPF 15 Sensitive Skin (sometimes mix with a bit of Vaseline if I'm extra dry)
Apply makeup as usual
If I have flakes or dryness, I massage some Neosporin on the area. Usually this is the area around my mouth and nose. Then pat a towel over it to take away the shinyness the Neosporin leaves.

PM:
Take off makeup with a mixture of Pond's Cold Cream & Purpose Gentle Skin Cleanser
Wash again with Purpose
Apply Retin A Micro

Vaseline/Aquaphor around eyes and mouth.

I also apply a 15% AHA cream on my feet, let it soak in, then coat it in Aquaphor or Vaseline, put on some thick socks for SUPER SOFT feet

-Hydrocortisone cream on irritated spots or spots prone to irritation
-The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil on breakouts
-The Body Shop's Vitamin E Spray

PM

[Esperanza]

I have a senstitive combination skin and here's what I use:

Face wash
I alternate between these two: AVENE Cleanance soapless gel cleanser & VICHY Oligo 25 foaming face wash

Toner
VICHY Purete Thermale detoxifying toner (the blue one)

Moisturizers:
OLAY Complete care daily UV fluid with SPF15, fornormal/ oily/ combination skin
VICHY Oligo 25
VICHY Thermal Fix Mat

VICHY Normaderm chrono-active pores reducing (for night)

Scrubs
AVENE Gentle exfoliating scrub once a week

Masks
AVENE Instant soothing mask
THE BODY SHOP Tea-Tree mask
NIVEA VIsage Active purifying mask

When I have time, I do a scrub on monday, a soothing mask on wednesday and a purifying or fortifying mask on friday. And since I discovered the aleppo soap, I try to use it 3 times a week, after my usually face wash or alone (when I don't have any make-up on).

 

[shemainrainman]

Morning:
-SK II Facial Treatment Cleanser
-Prevage eye treatment
-prevage facial treatment
-Clinique Derma White Moisture Cream
-L'Oreal Paris UV Perfect SPF50/PA+++ (tinted)

Night:
_fancl cleamsing oil
-fancl mild cleansing powder
-shiseido beauty voltage lotion
-prevage eye treatment
-prevage facial treatment
-Clinique Derma White Moisture Cream

once or twise a week:
Philosophy microdelivery peel
and what ever mask i have at the time.

I find that as long as I take my makeup off everyday, my skin stays clear. And i love the L'Oreal Paris tinted sunscreen, when i'm in a hurry I put it one after cleansing then I'm ready to go out(no need for fundation!).

 

[xiahe]

everyone's skincare regimines seem so complex compared to mine lol. and there are so many avid lush users! i've been wanting to try lush for such a long time but the closest lush retailer (that isn't even open yet, but it will be opening up soon!) is about an hour/hour and a half away from me

...anyway:

morning
- proactiv cleanser
- clinique clarifying lotion #3 (toner...a lot of people says it sucks but personally it's done wonders for my skin - better than the proactiv toner!)
- clinique dramatically different moisturizing GEL

for those annoying zits and stuff i use clinique's acne solutions spot healing gel (w/ salicylic acid) - it's very gentle and works really well. i also use the body shop's tea tree oil blemish stick...a lot of people says that this sucked too but i think it works really well.

night
- proactiv's cleanser
- clinique clariying lotion #3
- acne free terminator 10 acne & blackhead spot treatment (10% benzoyl) - honestly this stuff dries my skin out a bit but it works SO well and it was only $4.99 @ target!

 

[surfdiva]

I always thought of my skincare routine as fairly low-maintenance until I actually wrote all these steps down for this post, LOL. It seems like a lot in print but I can get it all done fairly quickly.

Morning:
Neutrogena Visibly Even Cleanser
Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner
ProActiv Repairing Lotion
Lots and lots and lots of Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 30

Evening:
Clean & Clear Sensitive Face Wash to remove makeup and cleanse, or Oil of Olay Express Facial Wipes if I'm feeling lazy
Neautrogena Pore Refining Toner
DDF Benzoyl Peroxide and Tea Tree Oil
H2O+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment on face and eyes
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion (Night) on neck

Every other evening I alternate with:
Clean & Clear face wash
Neautrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion on both face and neck
H2O+ Face Oasis on eyes

[lifewithoutzinc]

Mine's not too time-consuming, I think. Although it is rather hilarious running to the bathroom and bringing back my products so I can stare at their labels. It's like I'm finally acknowledging the effort that goes in.

Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner
Eucerin Q10 Sensitive Skin Lotion or Neutrogena Healthy Defense daily moisturizer SPF45
PM
Cold Cream (makeup remover)

-Apply light mosturizer (usually one made for a baby)

Do you use the scrub everyday?

 

[HayleyVengeance]

MORNING:
garnier pure daily cleanser
olay refreshing toner
olay 7 signs serum or
garnier fresh 24hr hydrating day cream

NIGHT:
spectro jel [to take makeup off]
garnier pure daily cleanser
olay 7 signs serum or
garnier fresh 24hr hydrating day cream
spectro jel vanishing lotion [on breakouts]

ONCE-TWICE A WEEK:
st. ives apricot scrub

 

[oh_twicemyburn]

I work at LUSH, so you may notice a bit of a bias...

AM:
Coal Face
Ocean Salt (if my skin needs a pick-me-up)
Tea Tree Water
Enzymion (if I'm wearing makeup)/Gorgeous (if I'm going naked-face)

PM:
Sweet Japanese Girl
Ultrabland (if I need to remove eye makeup)
Tea Tree Water
Afterlife
Enchanted Eye Cream

I zap zits at night with Fresh Farmacy. If I wore a lot of makeup that day, I'll use Mask of Magnaminty (but no more than 3x a week). I also use Baby Face in the morning once a week instead of Coal Face to help reduce the appearance of old acne scars.

To think, I used to be so low maintenance and uncomplicated!

 

[thenovice]

I am constantly switching mine- my skin is just horrible. Its like a flaky crocodile. However it is also, oily. ARGH! And about the time it takes to go through a bottle of something, it stops working- or my skin gets terrible. The worst i have ever used was the Garnier line. It was just terrible for my skin. But my current....

AM:
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Purifying Creme Cleanser
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Skin Firming/Toning Agent
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion

PM:
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Purifying Creme Cleanser
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Skin Firming/Toning Agent
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion -OR- MAC Studio Moisture Cream
Retin-A Micro Gel

Ok, thats all currently- it will probably change by next month though. Grr...
