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?

What a perfect pic. You two are no doubt BEAUTIES in your own ways 👌

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Looking good ladies! 😉

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

definitely use that shiseido product before the OH truth serum. i'd even use it before the raw sauce. it's essentially formulated to help aid whatever serums and treatments go on after it 🙂

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Aahhhh I thought it was the same as an eye cream, just lighter. Thank you for telling me!

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

a couple new things tonight !

 

1/28 p.m.

  • CLINIQUE take the day off balm
  • PIXI skintreats mud glow cleanser (new ! contains a bit of glycolic acid; first impression is that i really like it, particularly excited to try on congested / oily days)
  • PIXI skintreats glow mud mask (new ! liked loads)
  • MURAD hydrating toner
  • HYLAMIDE low molecular HA booster serum
  • CLARINS blue orchid oil
  • AVEDA botanical kinetics hydrating lotion

skin is pretty good, a bit dehydrated, and a few clogged pores around my jaw. after my routine my skin feels super plump and happy

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I've tried the Pixi mud cleanser twice now, I like it so far! Their skincare products have good reviews, I'm looking coward to testing more 🙂

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

PM

 

vichy eye makeup remover 

Farmacy clear bloom oil cleanser

LA fresh oil free makeup wipe

josie Maran nirvana spray

DDG ferulic & retinol eye serum

dermadoctor eye balm

dr Brandt needle no more on lines

DDG vitamin c serum

Dr Brandt DNA night cream

farmacy sleep tight balm

 

    That's a lot of products!  I layered it over several hours

 

AM

 

Kirkland makeup wipe

josie Maran nirvana spray

estee dreamtone and fill serums

clinique all about eyes serum

dermadoctor calm cool and corrected

bare minerals complexion rescue with spf

 

           As soon as I finish the Estee and Clinique items, I'm looking to replace with products from cruelty free brands so any recommendations?

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I like Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream and Aveda Botanical Kinetics Energizing Eye Cream. Ole Henrikson Vitamin C Serum is my favorite! 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Thanks Veg!  I will check them out. I've been working thru a DS of the vitamin c from the ole promo. 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I am posting my evening skincare so I can comment on a couple of products I had't talked about before:

 

01/28/16 - PM Skincare

1. Tatcha Camelia Cleansing Oil and a warm washcloth

 

2. Cane+Austen Acne Resuracing pads (new) - This is just a basic acid exfoliant of 2% Salicyclic and 5% glycolic - solid ingredients.  But it packed a zing!  I don't mind a zing, but it is surprised me as it is not a very strong formula.  So lets see how my face feels tomorrow.

 

3. Caudalie Grape Water Elixir Spritz - Since the C+A toner doesn't have a neutralzier, I usually spritz afterwards.

 

4. Ren Vita Mineral Omega 3 Oil - Most oils annoy my skin, but some rare oily serums work fine.  This is one of the oils that work for me.  I use it solely for the extra hydration and it does that absolutely!  A dehydrated skin saver!

 

5. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream

 

6. Omorovicza Rejuvenating Night Cream - Excellent night cream for dehydrated skin.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I definitely agree that skin changes A LOT once you hit your 40's (and I'm almost 45 now) - 

 

PM ROUTINE AFTER OIL-BASED DOUBLE CLEANSE

 

DDG XS Peel or Medi-Spa Peel on alternate nights

Alpha H Liquid Gold

Murad Essential-C Treatment 

Verso Super Eye Serum

Zelen's Luminous Serum

SR Bionic Cream/Omorovicza Rejuvinating/Cult 51 Anti-ageing night creams on rotation

La Prairie White Caviar Eye Cream

SR Luna/Juno Alternate Nights - when I don't use Luna, I add in Verso's Super Facial Serum for the retinol hit.

 

A.M. ROUTINE AFTER OIL-BASED CLEANSE

 

Murad Essential-C Toner

SR Good Genes

Murad Essential-C Serum

Cult 51 Serum

Zelen's 3T Cream/Verso Day Cream depending if I'm doing skating mom duty at the rink, since the Zelen's is essential for the sub-zero temperatures

Su-Man Brightening Eye Cream/Zelen's Triple Action Eye Cream/Omorovicza Gold Eye Cream, on rotation

SR Juno/Flora

 

I definitely feel my skin looks a lot better now than back in my early and mid-30's when I was just using products like La Mer and La Prairie. Learning about the role of peels, Vitamin C, and Retinol, has been skin-changing! 🙂

 

Thanks so much everyone for all your help getting me here!

 

 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

1/26 PM:

Lancome Bi-facial eye makeup remover

Dr Jart Dermaclear Micro Water (makeup remover)

Soap & Glory Vitamin C face wash

Exfoli-Kate treatment (rinse-off)

Tony Moly Red Wine sheet mask (was going to use the Makgeoli one but when I opened it there was a weird black spot on the mask that looked like it might have been mold... so I threw it out :/). Left this one on for at least 30 mins. Liked it. These fit my face well.

Natural Organics argan oil blend

Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Cream

Verso Super Eye Serum

Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate

 

1/27 AM:

Philosophy purity with Clarisonic, Radiance brush (shower)

FAB Facial Radiance pad

Murad Hydrating toner

Belif Hungarian Water Essence

Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance serum

OH Youth Activating Oil

Murad Redness Reducing Moisturizer, spf15 (I like this one but although it's green, it doesn't actually color-correct or anything, and also it smells like limeade, which is ok but an odd scent for moisturizer)

Shiseido Ultimune Eye Concentrate

Bare Minerals Renew & Hydrate eye cream

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Skin is good, albeit a little dry/dehydrated. Will drink more water 😉 Added a moisturizer on top of my retinol the past few times I used it (KS Oil Free Moisturizer) and no bumps/breakouts/bad things which is a complete 180 from the last time I tried a moisturizer at night, so I will continue this on retinol nights. 

 

This AM: quick cleanse with FAB cleanser

Chanel toner, Raw Sauce, OH Vitamin C serum, NUDE Rescue oil, KS Oil Free, Algenist eye cream - all this to go to the barn and get sweaty! 

 

I'm surprised I haven't gotten wind burned while riding yet (temps in the 20's-30's last few times I have been out), and I think a large part is due to the NUDE oil - yay!

 

This PM : cleanse with boscia black cleanser, MB Rosewater spray, boscia essence sample (it''s ok, nothing miraculous, will finish the DS size and probably not repurchase unless I really end up hating Raw Sauce or Missha), NUDE serum, Lytera skin brightener/serum stuff, SKII eye sample

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Will post skincare tonight hopefully.  Until then - skincare thoughts:

 

If I have a "not so positive" experience with the first product I use in a line/brand, that makes me gunshy about the entire line.   Even for brands that I have researched and know they make some good products, use good science, and have been effective for many.

 

For example:

Sunday Riley - Luna annoyed me.

Lancome - 18yrs and counting...

Kate Somerville - A spendy moisturizer that was a dud and bothered my skin a bit....maybe 6 years ago.

 

Even 30% coupons have not pushed me over the edge.  I hold skincare grudges...for a long time.  Not always with good reasons.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I need to hold more grudges…I always try different products thinking THIS will be the one…and it never is 😞 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

this is me

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I agree with you except that I usually try two products from a brand before writing that brand off. Sometimes I happen to have chosen to try the wrong first product from a brand, and am pleased with the second one I try. But if both are poor products, then as they say, fool me once.....
