[pgoode]

I just upped my skin care routine and and loving my skin!! What routine works for you?!

[Anonymous]

So happy to hear that you are loving your skin! It’s such a great feeling, isn’t it?  Would love to hear about your skin care routine.  Here’s mine:

AM: 

• Cleanser: Cleanse with a water based cleanser
• Exfoliator: 1-3x per week, use Blithe splash mask in the shower
• Eye cream:  Pai Echium & Argan Gentle eye cream
• Treatment/Serum: Spot Treat with Eminence Bright Skin Licorice Root serum over my hyperpigmentation, sun/dark spots; and if my skin is dry, I’ll follow up with a hyaluronic acid serum
• Moisturizer:  Blithe Chaga Tundra Pressed Serum (hybrid of serum and moisturizer – it’s amazing!)
• SPF: IT Cosmetics Anti-Aging Armour with SPF 50+

PM:

• Micellar Water: Bioderma to remove makeup / sunblock
• Oil Based Cleanser: finishing up Clinique Take the Day Off Balm (and will likely switch to a cleansing oil with winter around the corner)
• Water Based Cleanser: finishing up some products – Radical Hydrating Cleanser; REN ClearCalm Clarifying Cleanser; and Neogen Green Tea Foaming Cleanser (which one I use depends on how oily or dry my skin is on a particular night)
• Exfoliator: First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads (2-3 times per week)
• Eye cream: same as morning routine, Pai Echium & Argan Gentle eye cream
• Essence/Toner: Be The Skin Botanical Power Toner or May Coop Raw Sauce
• Serum: right now, I’m testing out / comparing Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel and The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 – most of the year, I use a hyaluronic acid serum on those nights that I do not use a sheet mask; in the winter, I use a hyaluronic acid serum almost every night.
• Moisturizer: Blithe Chaga Tundra Pressed Serum
• Sleeping Mask: Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, 1-2 times per week in the winter to keep my skin hydrated; other times in the year, I use as needed.

1-3 times per week, I may use a sheet mask (before the moisturizer step) and once a week, I’ll skip the essence and serum and use a wash off mask.

My skincare is long but I think in the long run it's worth it. Here's my routine: 

Cleanse: this is a no brainer for most people but you need to find a good cleanser for your skin type. I use the Youth to the People cleanser because it brightens my skin and I have noticed it doesn't strip my skin as well

Tone: I use thayer's toner because it doesn't have alcohol and has been around for years. It's affordable (around 10 bucks) and works just as well as the fresh rose. 

Serums/Oils: At night after my skin is clean I like to apply Sunday Riley Luna Face Oil. In the morning I like to use biossance vit c oil and sunday riley good genes.The herbivore lapis oil sometimes if my skin is very oily. I also use the skinceuticals B E serum. Tiger Grass serum is great for sensitive skin too. 

Masks: The laneige and the watermelon sleeping mask are great hydrators (I like to use them in the winter). Boscia charcoal pudding or the glamglow supermud for areas I'm breaking out. For my pores I like to use Caudalie Detox Mask. Also love the laneige lip sleeping mask and the dermalogica nightly lip treatment for my lips. Herbivore blue tansy I like to use once a week (drunk elephant baby facial does the same thing and both are natural)

Eye Cream: I like to keep milk cooling water in the fridge and use it in the morning to depuff my eyes. For my eye cream I like to use biossance peptide eye gel and dr brandt 24/7 retinol eye cream. 

SPF: 90% of aging is due to sun damage. Wear at least 30 spf every day

Don't neglect your neck and hands as they need anti aging treatment too. 

Supplements: Hum daily cleanse, red carpet, arctic repair, and collagen love. Use codes 143B6B and HUM10 for 20 dollars off your purchase on their site.

I'm in college so I try to keep my routine to the essentials. I use Dr. Dennis Gross all-in-one foaming cleanser AM/PM. After [PM] I follow with Drunk Elephant Marula Oil and Framboos Serum like every other day. Off days follow with La Neige Water Sleeping Mask. AM I follow cleansing with sunscreen [proactive or neutrogena hydroboost] if the day calls for it. Then FAB coconut moisturizer/primer. Also have a slew of masks at the ready just in case.

I find a simple routine works best for my sensitive skin. At night I absolutely adore FAB's Pure Skin Cleanser for getting all of my makeup off before bed. I follow up with OleHenriksen's Invigorating Night Transformation Gel and Kihel's Midnight Recovery Oil or Dr Brandt 's Overnight Revitalizing Serum. If I find myself with a pimple or two I spot treat with Kate Somerville's EradiKate. 

My morning routine is very similar to my evening routine save for I use OleHenriksen's Truth Serum and Lancome's BIENFAIT UV SPF 50+ Super Fluid Facial Sunscreen before applying my makeup.
