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?

@greenchilli I have a curiousity question for you.

 

I've been using the Alpha H B since it first came about (3-4 months?) and I'm wondering what yours smells like?

 

I'd read the press reviews before purchasing and they said it was floral.  Mine is definitely not floral, but it doesn't smell bad either, per se.  

 

Since I purchased it when it was so new I assumed there was no way it could've already gone off, but I'd still love to hear your thoughts nonetheless.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@Mochapj

 

It doesn't smell floral at all!  It reminded me of the kitchen.  It smells faintly like spice.  Perhaps cloves or Cardamom.  More cloves.  Not strong like the UMA clarifying oil, but a faint clove smell.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Ok, that makes me feel much better.

 

I was thinking mine smelled like rosewood or the inside of a chest I own. 🙂

 

Thank you!

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@Mochapj  Woodsy.  That would be a description as well.  Spicy woodsy.

 

No flower in sight.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I do tend to mix it up with  skincare based on what my skin feels it needs.  I am excited with results of drunk elephant baby facial, dr. brant magnetight, and drunk elephant bests jelly cleanser.  

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I have gone almost all natural and all lush tonight.  Cuz prepping for a Monday is no simple task (well, it actually is simple.  But stay with me. folks).

 

Sunday night has to be an all out effort.  No holding back.  Because Monday is gearing up to be a doozy!

 

PM skincare - 06/25/17

Age - too old for boolsheet, too young to grey.

 

20170625_PM (Large).jpg

1. Tata Harper Nourishing Oil cleanser

2. Biologique P50 PIGM 400

3. May Lindstrom Jasmine Garden spray

4. Zelens Vit A drops

5. UMA anti aging eye oil

6. Aurelia Cell Repair Night oil

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

What are your thoughts on the Vit A drops @greenchilli?

 

i love the Vit D ones and bought the Vit A when it first came out but the bottle would never stay closed and it got on my nerves but I do love an oil-based retinol. 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@lipstick4soul

 

I quite like this Vitamin A.  It is in oil, so gentle on me.  I don't use strong Retinols anyway.  

 

I can't say anything miraculous happens.  It maintains my skin as in - I am happy with the way my skin has looked as I age.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Sunday PM, skin is doing great. I'm breaking rules and trying multiple new things at once. It's a very blue routine tonight. 

IMG_0237.JPG

The Evolve cleanser is new. It has a jelly texture that I like and it emulsified well. 

2nd cleanse Beauty Water. 

Mask: oops I hid the jar. Mother Mountain Herbals Lavender Milk Mask. LOVE the smell, like a field of lavender. And it's blue when mixed with water! No dyes, all plants. 

IMG_0240.JPG

Spritz with NIOD SDSM2. New! Blue!

Finish with Vintner's Daughter and Blue Cocoon. 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

7. Perricone Face Finishing Moisturizer

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Kind of laughing at myself, the aveda oil is actually intended for morning as part of your cleansing routine, which I totally missed when i read the instructions! Oh well, when I read the reviews, someone said they do wear it overnight once a week and obviously it can't hurt to do so.  Haha.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I am overachieving with back to back routines posted.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@Haleyhale

 

So glad to hear it is working well and your skin is feeling better.  Here is to good skin days...

 

all the time!

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Same routine lately, but am trying out the promo sample of Clinique's TTDO balm in place of my Sunday Riley Blue Moon. If my skin doesn't change for the worse using this balm, I'll open the full size that I have and use up the Blue Moon, but not repurchase. I love that stuff, but it's just so $$$ compared to the TTDO which seems to be doing just as great of a job removing makeup!

 

Other steps in PM routine:

- YTTP Superfood cleanser

- MISSHA essence

- Deciem Alpha Lipoic Acid (I use this sparingly and only on weeks my skin is behaving, the first time I used this I think my skin was in shock!)

- Deciem Buffet serum

- Biossance Vitamin C Rose Oil

 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I recently finished my Sarah Chapman The Ultimate Cleanse which is a great first cleanse for me. (and can be the only cleanse.) I have a sample of the Clinique TTDO balm. I've used it before; I did like it. I am going to see if it beats my Ultimate Cleanse as well. I do prefer the packaging of the Ultimate Cleanse; it comes in a pump so it's much easier for travel, but I understand, for you, they both are in jars.
