Daily Skincare - what are you using?

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.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, especially if you are enjoying a long weekend with fiends  friends and family.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Today has been a doozy.  My routine tonight is just what I needed to make me go from "stabby" to just "pokey".  That will have to do for now.

 

04/13/17 - PM Skincare

Age - 42

Skin type/condition - Oily/good.

20170413_PM (Large).jpg

1. Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm

2. January Labs Exfoliating Peel - trying this out.  Feels fine - like a sticky gel.  Supposed to be potent, but I hardy felt anything.  But skin feels good.  Lets see if I wake up with my face still intact.

3. Caudalie Grape water

4. UMA Total Rejuvenating Night oil - I just got this.  This is the third Uma oil I own, and it is incredible.  A winner again.

5. UMA Anti Ageing Eye Oil -  Just got this too.  I haven't used an eye oil before.  Felt good.  Lets see tomorrow morning.

6. Aurelia Cell Repair Night oil - No matter what else I put on my face, I need this too.  I love this oil and just like to layer.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of my Uma oil trial face kit. I want to experience the same goodness @greenchilli!!

 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@mrsbaine

 

I am excited about you trying it out as well.  I hope you find some winners!

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I love all the "just got this." Who can wait to try things?

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Does anyone know if origins is good for sensitive skin?

I have normal/combo acne prone skin. My skin isn't like always sensitive just to certain products but lately it's sooo sensitive....

Any suggestion?

XOXO,

    Z

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I feel like brands that say they are for sensitive skin and then have an ingredient list a mile long may not be great in the long run for sensitive skin. What have you tried so far? Try looking into brands with less ingredients and opt for a more simple routine.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I've been using Cetaphil to take off my makeup- it's not bad but not really good. I've also being trying out clinique- not that bad either kinda leaves a little irritation. I've been wanting to try out Origins and FAB but have been so busy with school and work that I haven't got the time to go to Sephora or Ulta.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@Anonymous

 

I am more impressed with FAB than Origins.  Try out some samples and see how you like it.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I agree with this, but would add that their cleanser is (for me) only good as a second following a really solid first cleanse. On its own it doesn't do anything to remove makeup.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Good Morning!

 

I lie....this is just too early and there is nothing good about it yet.  Morning is on probation.

 

AM skincare - 04/13/17

 20170413_AM (Large).jpg

1. Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel

2. Biologique P50 PIGM400

3. Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist

4. Vintners Daughter Botanical Serum

5. Farmacy Eye Dew

6. Tata Harper Rebuilding Moisturiser

 

*Why can't I upload a picture?  I blame Morning. ETA - fixed it!*

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

How do you like the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel?

I'm scraping the last remnants of my last tube of NUDE Omega jelly and needing to find a replacement. I'm between the Oskia, Shiva Rose Pearl Milk Cleanser and the REN Evercalm Cleanser.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Welcome @cassandraw91

 

Oskia is one of my favourite cleansers.  I have used it for a long time, and I always have a back up.  If I just had to keep one cleanser, this would be it.

 

🙂

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Wanting to give you an update! After two days of using the Cleansing  Gel, I have fallen deeply in love with it. More so than I thought I would. I like it way more than the NUDE Omega jelly as the Oskia removes my eye makeup like a beast. 

Now just trying to see if I need the Caroline Hirons Cult Beauty Box, decisions decisions...

 

Thank you again!!

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Morning is thisclose to getting thrown back in the slammer.  

 

How do you like the Vitners Daughter and Biologique P50 @greenchilli?  I've had my eye on those (while my wallet shrieks in fear).  I miss your pretty face!!

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@michelleshops

 

Muah!

 

It took me some time to appreciate Vinters, but I now love it.  And Biologique P50 is a staple in my routine.  I have been through many bottles.

 

My lesson learnt with all oils - I like them best applied to a damp face and massaged in.  No press and sniff nonsense.  And I do not like applying to dry skin.  So I always spritz ...even if it is just patting some water on my face.

PM on a night my husband is traveling. Yesterday I did all the soothing/moisturizing, today is the extended remix of skincare.

 

The rose EO gets splashed in my shower for a spa smell.

Hidden in the back is Label Young Honey Water, an impulse buy from a while back that makes a nice post-cleanse spritz. 

Tripling up on The Ordinary - agireline, alpha arbutin, Whamisa toner patted in like essence, then the 2% Retinoid. Then a few layers of snail 96, sealed with the Lierac serum and Eye Dew. The Lierac has a very distinct candy-like scent, which I enjoy but it's definitely not for the fragrance-sensitive.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

How do you like the Cosrx essence? I've heard that it is a good dupe for SK II's essence.
