Daily Skincare - what are you using?

[greenchilli]

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.

@annahoang

Are you using these products daily?  In particular:

- Problem Solver

- Luna

[annahoang]

Hi @greenchilli

No, I don't.

I usually use Luna 5 days per week and Problem Solver maybe once per 2 weeks or if I feel like acne is approachinggg 

[greenchilli]

I am functioning in slo-mo today.

41, oily and dehydrated, but all good.  

If I don't address dehydration in winter, my skin gets oilier.  I hope folks that have oily skin don't forget hydration.....it really is key.  Embrace the creams, oils, and hydrating serums.

12/11/16 - AM

1. Cleanse - Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser

2. Tone - Pixi Glow tonic

3. Hylamide SubQ - This is a very nice Hyaluronic acid product and very effective on me.  I recommend.

4.  Tata Harper Restorative Eye cream

5. Darphin Retexturizing Moisturizer - I mostly use this only in winter.  

I plan to slap on makeup today.  It is cold and cloudy.  How many cheerful colours can I wear today?  ALL.

27, the driest my skin has ever been. Makeup sits horribly on it, hopefully it'll adjust to this weather soon.

Clinique TTDO balm

Kate Somerville goat milk cleanser

Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic+ Retinol peel pad

Caudalie Premier Cru eye cream

Sunday Riley Tidal moisturizer

Clarins Santal oil

Fresh advanced lip therapy treatment

Soap and Glory body butter on my hands because I'm out of hand cream...

Any recommendations on an ultra hydrating, preferably unscented, non greasy hand cream? Help please!! 

[JenniferOhJenny]

@Haleyhale It's not unscented but my favorite hand cream is C.O. Bigelow's Dr. Hiosous Quince Hand Lotion. I've been using it for years, at bedtime in the winter.

[Haleyhale]

Thank for the rec, but I don't know where I would find that brand? I remember them doing lip glosses for bath and body works, do they still sell there? @JenniferOhJenny

[JenniferOhJenny]

@Haleyhale You can get it on the C.O. Bigelow direct website or also at Nordstrom. I hope it works for you if you try it! 

[greenchilli]

@Haleyhale

This isn't a hand cream, but I use Clinique Body butter a lot.  It is unscented and does the job.

[Haleyhale]

I quite like the fact it comes in a giant tub! Will try it! Thanks, @greenchilli

28- dry, dry, dry skin. And the air at work is super dry, I woke up this morning with the worst chapped up lips, but the rest of my skin was in surprisingly good shape. I took a chance masking at work and got lucky!

Last night:

Korres greek yoghurt cleanser

Erborian water lock mask

PTR unwrinkle toner lotion

Dr. Brandt glow serum

Dr. Brandt NNM 3-d Filler

Clinique repairwear eye cream

It cream

PTR night cream

This morning

SO much chapstick

water

Same minus cleanser, serum, and night cream

My skin will be happy to have "spa saturday" when I get home from work tonight.

[Haleyhale]

@CC3616 I hope your skin is doing better, dry skin is so uncomfortable. Keep at it with all the water and all the Chapstick. Wish this winter was over already...

[CC3616]

@Haleyhale same! Ready for it to be done. Woke up to more snow. Good luck finding a hand cream, I'm scent sensitive and it can be hard to find unscented/light things! I can do the ahava mud and like tatcha hand cream. I like the josie maran body butter too and it works well on my hands.

[Haleyhale]

Ugh, snow. I think I would love the Tatcha, always get along great with their products, will probably treat myself and try it. Thanks, @CC3616

I've just finished up finals, so my skin is finally starting to finally de-stress! Normal to dry skin, slightly sensitive. Early 20's. 

Usual Routine:

AM: 

1. Rinse with water

2. Fresh Rose Eye Cream 

3. Clinique Moisture Surge (recently switched to this from CeraVe AM...as in a few months ago) - LOVE

4. Neutrogena Dry Touch SPF 55 - meh - suggestions of other SPF greatly appreciated!

PM:

1. Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

2. CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser

3. Origins Renewal Willowherb Serum

[greenchilli]

I have been traveling all week - in cold weather, flying, dehydration, working long hours, little sleep, and random food.  Now I am home to recover.  It is early, but I have already done my PM skincare.

PM  - 12/09/16  

41, hormonal, dehydrated, and exhausted

1. Cleanse - Emma Hardie Cleansing balm

2. Biologique Recherche P50

3. Odacite Mint+Green Tea mist -  I saw a few new spritzes and decided to try a couple.  I should have waited.

Spoiler

It is supposed to hydrate and rebalance oily/ congested skin.  It has salicyclic acid, aloe vera, willow bark etc.  I don't have any spots or congestion, but I wanted to play with new skincare and in my eagerness I sprayed this on.

I think this spritz is more suitable as a daytime/summer product.   I feel a bit of tightening in my face, which really isn't what I wanted at the moment.  Lets see how I feel in the morning.   I added some extra layers of hydration....

4. Aurelia Revitalize and Glow serum

5. DDG Ferulic and Retinol Eye cream

6. Aurelia Cell Repair Night oil - love

7. Omorovicza Rejuvenating Night Cream - a tiny bit 

[annahoang]

So curious about that Emma Hardie balm! Going to be next on my purchase list!

@deannarpHow do you like Sanskrit sapponins? My skin is sensitive and dehydrated, and I am thinking of buying it. Does it really makes your pores smaller?
