Often people ask for recommendations on a skincare routine or for specific products/combinations. This might be a place to share your everyday skincare, both AM and PM. A skincare "what are you wearing" as it were. Hope this is useful.
*Age - 40
Skin type - oily/combination
Current skin condition - quite dehydrated (winter/indoor heating)*
01/17/16 - AM skincare in the order I used
1. Nude Jelly cleanser (love)
2. Pixi Glow tonic (5% glycolic toner - love)
3. Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Spritz (sample)
4. Radical Skincare Youth Infusion serum - hydrating and anti-ageing (new to me. Testing)
5. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream (like)
6. Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine cream (really like as an AM moisturizer)
I will try to post PM skincare tonight so the post can be comprehensive.
General comments - Okay skin. Apparently the age between 38-42 is a transformational time in hormones (dehydrated skin/spots), so I am more aware of how my skin performs/reacts . My skincare definitely has more "actives" now than before.
It's not a face lotion, but I've been using Farmacy Green Screen Daily Enviornmental Protector Broad Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen (could the name get any longer??) I have oily skin and while this looks like it will leave white cast, it absorbs within 5 minutes and I don't need to use any moisturizer with it.
I'm mid 10s with acne-prone dry skin.
I use at night:
1. Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser
2. Lush's Dark Angels Cleanser
3. COSRX's One Step Pimple Pad
4. Glossier Solution (can't wait for the restock!!)
5. LANEIGE Water Bank Essence
6. LANEIGE Water Bank Moisture Cream
7. Tarte Drink of H2O Hydrating Boost Moisturizer Rainforest of the Sea
I am mid 20s with sensitive combination skin. I do experience lots of break outs (due to stress or new products)
I use
1. Sephora Watermellon face wipes (when I wear makeup)
2. Tatcha deep cleanse
3. Caudalie (Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Toner)
4. Skyn cooling daily lotion
5. Kiehl's (avocado oil) eye cream
6. Kate Sommerville (Eradikate) for when I get a pimple!
7. Glow Recipe- Watermellon Face Mask - over night once a week
General comments - my skin is improving with this routine, my top 2 that I would recommend would be the daily cooling lotion from Skin and the Kiehls eye cream
30, normal skin with a real love of extra moisture even though I wouldn't consider it to be dry - I can be comfortable with very little moisture added. I'm 7 months post-partum so hormones have changed my skin a bit.
AM:
1) Son & Park Beauty Water for a light exfoliating toning/cleansing
2) Herbivore Rose mist
3) Klairs Vitamin C Serum
4) Origins Gin-Zing Eye Cream
5) Belif Aquabomb moisturizer (summer), or Sunday Riley C.E.O. (Winter or when feeling a bit dry)
6) Supergoop Mineral Soothing SPF
PM:
1) clinique take the day off balm
2) Derma doctor kakadu-c cleanser
3) FAB Facial Radiance Pads - OR - Pixi Glow Tonic
4) Youth to the People Superfood Eye Cream
5) Sunday Riley Luna Oil
6) FAB Ultra Repair Cream - OR - Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil - OR - Pixi Rose Oil
Ultimately, love me some oils, love some extra moisture. Try to do a bit of exfoliating at least twice a day.
This thread really helps me get to know about skincare routine. Just realised where I stand in my skincare (no where)😔
Age 27
Using only a bar soap, Aveeno positively radiant moisturizer. That's it ! Really !
Little history about my skin :
Had bad acne breakouts earlier (3 years back ) It's now settled, only occasional minimal breakouts. Now I have combo/sensitive skin.
Skin feels dry after wash, ok after moisturizer, feeling flaky, not using makeup.
Afraid to try or add anything on my skin due to my past acne history 😔
Now after reading this thread I got to know about skincare routine and products.
But I couldn't select the products to start with. Please help me to find anything (cleansers, toners, serum, moisturizer,oil) also kindly recommend that goes well to me !
Will add one by one to my routine !! It's high time for me to do it !
Thanks in Advance !
I feel the same way too lol. I only have a three-step skin care routine and everyone else here have these long elaborate routines.
@GK17 Don’t feel bad about having little to no skincare routine yet. I feel like it comes with time and it’s never too late!
I would recommend finding a cleanser first to replace the bar soap (which is probably the culprit that’s drying your skin). I have oily/combo skin and like to use the Cerave foaming cleanser. I think they have different ones for different skin types.
My favorite moisturizer is the Glow Recipe watermelon pink juice moisturizer. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly and doesn’t cause me to breakout. Another moisturizer I like is the First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream. It looks thick and heavy but keeps my skin moisturized without any breakouts.
Another step you could add is a toner. I like using the Ole Henriksen oil controlling toner and the Son and Park Beauty water. Both do a great job at preventing breakouts and controlling my oily t-zone without leaving my skin dry/tight feeling.
I’d suggest introducing new products to your routine slowly so your skin can adjust and you can observe any positive/negative effects from them. I hope this helps you out!!!
@CakesCakes Really appreciate your advice 😊 just started of my skincare routine with purity by philosophy cleanser, ole truth serum (finds it causing redness, may be I'm sensitive to it , so discontinued for now) and ole sheer transformation moisturizer. Liked the cleanser and moisturizer. Trying exfoliants now (haven't exfoliated before) loved the sample of DE baby facial
Will add toner too ! Still in hunt for toner/serum/exfoliants/eye cream. Any suggestions you have for me to add these ?
Thanks again !
@GK17 No problem! I’m still trying to find a good skincare routine for myself.
My favorite toner is the Son and Park beauty water. My favorite K-beauty toner is the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial toner. The Klairs toner is more like an essence- I use it after toning my face and before moisturizer. I love it!
My favorite exfoliating product is the Neogen Lemon pads. I recommend these to everyone I know lol. Also, a chemical exfoliant I like using is Cosrx AHA 7% Whitehead power liquid. With the Cosrx one, I can see a big difference in my skin the next morning after using it. My skin is not very sensitive so I’m able to use exfoliants 2-3x a week. I’m curious about the DE babyfacial but need to get a sample before splurging. I’m almost afraid to try it, incase it does work for me. Then I’ll feel the need to buy it! 😁
How do you like Pro-tini and LaLa? I used the Framboos while pregnant and felt very meh about it, but it was in place of my Sunday Riley Luna oil and a glycolic just couldn't compare to a retinoid for me.
I am 14. I have very little acne, I usually get a few around that time of the month though. lol. I do also have little bumps on my forehead. I have combination skin. This is what I use in order.
I haven't heard much about La Prairie, @hmmmq. Would you mind telling me a little more about some of their products that you like?
