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.

So...I am preparing my skincare travel bag for an unusual trip. A 4 day train journey.  I will write about it if it is worth anything....

[blondesluv2shop]

@greenchili Have fun! I have always wanted to do a train trip. Can I ask where you are going?

[greenchilli]

@blondesluv2shop

I really am not "going" anywhere.  What I mean by that is - the train journey is itself the end.

I am traveling across the US on train - from NYC to San Francisco.  I have been to NYC and SF many times, this trip is not about visiting them again.  It is only about the train.

🙂

[michelleshops]

Wave to me from the train GC!!!!

[MK89]

@greenchilli Hi! It's been nice seeing you post again. Does this mean you won't be spending any time in SF? 😉

[Mochapj]

11/14 PM:

- NIOD Multimolecular Hyaluronic...

- excess serum from Farmacy Cucumber sheet mask

- ML Jasmine Garden mist

- Odacite Bl+C, Jo+L, Summer In Hossegor

- ML Blue Cocoon

- Beautychef Young Coconut lip balm

[jemly]

i used the pixi glow mud cleanser this a.m. !

in my head i pronounce NIOD as 'noid' and think of the weird dude from 1980s dominos commercials. not sure if that was a thing in canada. 

[Mochapj]

BAHAHAHAHA!  I vaguely know what the Noid is, but only from other US friends.

I have no clue how they actually meant it to be pronounced as I think it's an acronym for non invasive options in dermal science but in my head I either spell it N-I-O-D or think it as ny-odd.

Spoiler

And now I'm realizing how bizarre it is that I think neither pronunciation consistently 😄

[greenchilli]

@Mochapj

In my head it sounds like

"Node"........

"Nodule"......

"Wart"....

That is what I think of NIOD - warts.

[glossyguru]

AM:

I washed my face with some water then applied Neutrogena Hydro Boost cream (not in love... definitely want to replace with the SR Tidal cream when I run out)

PM:

Kate Sommerville Detox Daily Clenser (I'm medium on it... my skin doesn't feel clean enough afterwards)

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream (I don't know why but FAB products don't like me very much... I think that this product is giving a weird texture to my skin)

Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Oil (still testing, but I like it so far!)

Kate Sommerville EradiKate Acne Treatment (love)

So yes, my skincare is a work in progress and there are a lot of things that I want to replace, but it's a process!

[blondesluv2shop]

@glossyguru I also had skin texture issues when using First Aid Beauty products. Honestly, I think their moisturizers are just too thick for my skin even though I do have dry skin.

I have a deluxe size of the Ultra Repair Cream and only use it on my hands now. It's also really nice to mix a little into clay mud masks so they don't me out as much.

[Haleyhale]

The FAB ultra repair cream is a good product, but it is quite a true cream. I use it on hand and elbows when they're dry. Perhaps it's too heavy for your skin, you might like something gel-based for a moisturizer instead. 

[plm95]

I've tried a bunch of the FAB products, but my skin just doesn't like them either. I know they're supposed to work for sensitive skin, which I have, but the brand as a whole just doesn't work for me. They're products always give me weird textures to my skin too.

[vegchililover78]

AM - Nothing, my skin woke up happy.

PM - I've been using this combination of products for a week and I'm really happy with results! The Pai oil is fantastic! I have too many oils to add more, but I'm tempted. It's very soothing and does a great job at balancing/calming my skin. 

Lush Aqua Marina Cleanser

Pai Bioregenerate Oil (sample)

Ole Henrikson Sheer Transformation 

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydra Firm Sleeping Cream (sample)

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm (sample)

Caudelie Lip Conditioner

[jemly]
