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'm happy this post got pointed to! I tried to do the same, but the site wouldn't let me log in 😞 wonky indeed!

 

This thread really is a wealth of information.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Thanks @darkiceis, didn't see this when I checked if there was something similar.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@Aaliaa  You're welcome 🙂  Bic has been really wonky, one day it will work as it should.  It's a really great thread with lots of great information and variety of products.

 

Did you have the May Coop Raw Sauce in your photo?

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Yup I did @darkiceis!

RE: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Age 28. Combination skin. Currently on the dryer aide because of the winter, then oily during the summer. I’ve been doing a Korean-esque routine. At night, I use an oil to get all my makeup off. Followed by washing my face with CerVe (that my dermatologist recommended). Next I tone using a toner I found at a beauty shop in Korean town (I don’t know what it’s called 😝). From there, I use a serum, follow with an eye cream and moisturizer and then use a sheet mask for 15 minutes. I love how my skin looks in the mornings these days and enjoy the night time routine.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Skin type - normal + oily t-zone + acne prone

Current skin condition - slight post-acne scarring but pretty clear

 

Morning

1. Wash face with only water

2. Toner, Pixi glow tonic

3. Moisturize, Clinique gel moisturizer

 

Night

1. Makeup removal - Neutrogena makeup remover wipes

2. Cleanse/ scrub, Loreal pure clay cleanser (the charcoal one)/ St. Ives even and brighten scrub or St. Ives blemish control scrub

4. Toner, Pixi glow tonic

3. Treatments, Differin + clindoxyl (AMAZING)

5. Masks, (some nights) LOreal pure clay charcoal mask or freeman masks (SKINCHANGING) 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Age -21

Skin type - dull, dry (occasional flakiness around the nose and forehead

Current skin condition - basically clear but super dull 😞

 

Morning

1. Cleanse - Youth to the People Age Prevention Superfood Cleanser or Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser (YTTP for a super clean fresh face, Milky Jelly for a gentle cleanse)

2. Serum - Biossance 100% Squalane oil, The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid

3. Moisturize - Shiseido Ibuki Refining Moisturizer Rich

Bonus - I like to use Mario Badescu Rose Facial Spray for some added moisture

 

Night 

1. Makeup removal - Kopari Coconut Melt (or just regular coconut oil, whatever I have around)

2. Cleanse - Youth to the People Age Prevention Superfood Cleanser

3. Serum - Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II and Biossance Sualane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

I'm really into my current oils/serums, but I'm looking for a moisturizer that is actually moisturizing but makes my skin glow a bit more!! I love the moisture or the Shiseido one, but there's just a lack of glow.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

early 20s in a humidish climate. I have dry skin and monthly breakouts

I try to pick products that are more affordable yet still works just as well as the expensive kinds

 

AM:

Cleanse- Fresh Soy Cleanser

Tone/Exfoliate: Son & Park Beauty Water with a cotton pad

Moisturizer: L'occitane Light Comforting Cream

Sunscreen: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 70

 

PM:

Makeup remover: Pond's Cold Cream for heavier makeup days

Cleanse: Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

Exfoliate: Lush Smuggler's Soul facial scrub

Tone: Son & Park Beauty Water

Mask depends on how my face is feeling:

- super dry: Lush Oatifix

- drier: sheet masks

- dry: Fresh Rose face mask

- rough and dry: Lush The Sacred Truth

- saggy: Lush Ayesha

- oily: Freeman's Avocado Oatmeal Mask

- dull: Philosophy Microdelivery Peel or Exfolikate

Serum: TO Vitamin C 23% and HA Factors

Moisturizer depends:

- dull: Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Overnight

Sleeping Mask: Laniege Sleeping Mask (when my face feels very dry)

Lip Mask: Laniege Lip Mask or Bite Agave Lip Mask

 

I am looking for an eye cream to add to my routine for dark circles and sunken eye bags! Also am looking for a serum/cream to lighten freckles and get rid of hyperpigmentation. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my routine.

 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I’ve never tried any lush masks. What are they like? Do they have a short shelf life? @Jessyuan

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I love lush masks! They come in a wide range for different skin types, so the key is to find the right one or else the masks don't seem that good. They have about a 2-3wk shelf life, but as long as you keep it in the fridge it can stay up to 2 months and still be fine (at least in my experience)

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Age - 26

Skin type - normal with some dry patches (cheeks, mouth)

Current skin condition - pretty happy and clear but dull

 

Morning

1. Cleanse - philosophy purity

Optional sport treatment - Clinique acne solutions clinical clearing gel 

2. Serum - Murad advance acne & wrinkle reducer

3. Eye cream - Origins ginzing

4. Moisturize - Clinique moisture surge 

5. Bonus - while drinking coffee, pre-makeup, I’ll use my Nurse Jamie face roller to depuff 

 

Night 

1. Makeup removal - Clinique take the day off eye makeup remover & Aveeno makeup wipe

2. Cleanse - Philosophy purity

Optional sport treatment - Clinique acne solutions clinical clearing gel

3. Serum - either Murad advance acne & wrinkle reducer or Sunday Riley good genes (3x a week)

4. Eye cream - Origins ginzing 

5. Moisturize - Clinique moisture surge

 

My Origins ginzing eye cream is almost empty, so I’m contemplating trying a new one. I’ve gone through two already and I’m just kind of bored by it. Also looking at adding in a brightening serum after my Murad dies - I’ve gone through at least 5 or 6 if those and I feel like my acne is really nonexistent these days thanks to the Clinique spot treatment.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

Skin type:  dehydrated, combo/oily, large pores, uneven skin tone with dark spots, sensitive and acne prone

Age:  41

Skin tone:  medium

 

AM

Pre-Shower:  rub jojoba oil on face (I recently started doing this and it really helps my skin from getting more dehydrated as I like to take warm/hot showers)

In-Shower:  last step before getting out I cleanse my face with Caudalie Instant Foaming Cleanser.

1. Toner - Herbivore's Jasmine Green Tea - I absolutely love this!  I use 2 sprays onto the palms of my hands and then I pat onto my skin and let it dry.  This has helped with balancing my skin's oil.

2. Serum #1 - Currently testing out Caudalie's Premier Cru Serum (my usual is Caudalie VineActiv Glow Activating Anti-Wrinkle Serum (1 pum

3. Serum #2 - Peter Thomas Roth's Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Serum OR Trader Joe's Moisture Boost Serum

4. Eye Cream - Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior and top it off with Caudalie VineActiv Energizing and Smoothing Eye Cream

5. Moisturizer - Peter Thomas Roth's Water Drench Cloud Cream.  Pearl size amount and pat into skin.  This is very hydratring/moisturizing without being greasy/oily.

6. SPF - IT Cosmetics CC Cream in medium tan

 

PM

1.Melt makeup - with 100% jojoba oil (from Trade Joe's).  I massage the oil on my skin.  If I have mascara on, I use L'Oreal's Eye makeup remover first and then the oil for the rest of my makeup.

2. Cleanser - Wash it all off with La Roche Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser for normal/oily skin.  This leaves my skin clean without it being dry.

3.  Toner - Thayer's Witch Hazer in Rose Petal on a pad to remove any remains of makeup along their hair line but I also tone my skin with it.

* Occasionally after toning, I use Caudalie's Brightening Essence, but when I do this, I then follow it with Caudalie's Radiance serum and then 3 drops of jojoba oil.  That would conclude the routine for the night.

4. Serum #1 - testing out Caudalie Premier Cru Serum

5. Serum #2 - Algenist's Genius Liquid Collagen.  I absolutely love this!  I only use 3 drops for my entire face and let it absorb. 

6. Serum #3 - Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Serum.

7. Facial Oil - Caudalie's Detox Oil (3 drops)

8. Eye Cream -Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior and top it off with Caudalie VineActiv Energizing and Smoothing Eye Cream

9. Lip Care - I've been using Peter Thomas Roth's UnWrinkle Lip Treatment and it seems to work immediately but I don't think the results are long lasting.  I then follow it up with Laniege's Lip Mask.  This mask is very hydrating.  

10. Eyelash care - Revilatash on my lashes and eyebrows.

 

Dark spot treatment:

I've been using Sunday Riley Good Genes as a spot treatment about every other day.  It seems to be working.

 

Masks:

I use a mask 1-2 nights per week.  On a mask night I start with a clean and toned face and then I use one of the following:  Philosophy Pore Estractor or Peter Thonas Roth's Sulfur Mask or Glamglow's Clearing Treatment.  After the first mask, I then follow it up with one of the following:  Glamglow's ThirstyMud Hydrating Treatment or Fresh's Rose Mask or Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask.  After the masks, I will resume my regular PM routine.

 

Acne Treatment:

I use 100% tea tree oil to spot treat any breakouts at night.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

I'm mid-30s and live in a temperate/humid climate. I (finally) have normal-to-dry skin with only rare breakouts. My current routine:

 

AM:

(Sometimes first-cleanse: It Cosmetics melting balm)

Cleanse/tone: Dr Dennis Gross All-in-one Cleanser

Exfoliate (chem): DDG Extra-strength peel

Essence: Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner (7-skin method)

Serum: DDG Firming Peptide Milk

Eye: DDG Ferulic + Retinol eye serum

Moisturizer: depends on weather/skin

 

PM:

Eye/brow makeup remover: Sephora micellar milk (coconut or rose) and Shiseido cottons

1st cleanse: It Cosmetics melting cleansing balm

2nd cleanse: DDG All-in-one Cleanser (or GlamGlow PowerMud Dualcleanse once a week)

Essence: Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner (7-skin method)

(Mask, if doing a wash-off or peel-off mask)

Serum: The Ordinary hyaluronic acid (or sheet mask) (or Ole Henriksen Night Transformation Gel)

Eye: Korres Black Pine Super Eye Serum

Moisturizer: DDG Ferulic + Retinol Moisturizer (or occasionally It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream for extra moisture)

 

I really like the Volition Silt Gelée mask and Leaders or Sephora sheet masks. I'm also currently using the Shiseido Benefiance eye masks 1-2x a week, which are surprisingly effective. I'm using the Supergoop! CC cream instead of foundation these days so my sun protection is in that... otherwise I would have a separate sunscreen in the AM.

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

How do you like that essence? I've been thinking about incorporating an essence into my routine but most of them are so darn expensive and I don't know of any affordable ones. 

Re: Daily Skincare - what are you using?

@xamalia I *really* like it... @Anonymous has turned a few of us on to it now. And it's only $15-20 a bottle! You can find it on Amazon but OhLolly is an authorized seller.
