Summer Routine for the past month:

A.M.

Spoiler

I don't always double cleanse in the morning, but if I do, I skip either cleanser. I've been using these muslin cloths for the past month or so and really like them. I tried a couple of different brands and these were far superior. My NuFace also makes an appearance and do sheet masks when I need to be somewhere.

1) Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil
2) Korres Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser (the tagging isn't working I will come back to try from another device)
3) Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist
4) Anjou Hyaluronic Acid Serum (this is the first HA I have used and I LOVE it - since I don't know any better, I would love to hear any recommendations!)
5) Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream
6) YTTP Kale + Spinach Green Tea Age Prevention Moisture Cream

P.M.

Spoiler

Double cleanse every night as I usually have a full makeup face. This isn't my favorite oil but I am determined to finish what I bought. 

1) Farmacy Clear Bloom Cleansing Oil 
2) Yadah Bubble Deep Cleanser - I rotate between 3 bubbling/foaming cleansers and of the 3, this is my favorite. I sampled the belif bubbling pore cleanser and LOVED it, but I just have too many cleansers right now and not enough face.
3) Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist
4) Sheet mask selected by how my skin is doing.
5) Tata Harper Resurfacing Serum or Farmacy Invisible Root Cell Anti-Aging Serum, the later which I'm not crazy about but again...if I buy it, I don't want to waste it.
6) Drunk Elephant La La Retro Cream - I have 2 more DS, and will likely need to pick up this along with the YTTP during the fall sale. Love, love love this. If my skin is exceptionally dry, I blend it with one of my facial oils, usually the Jurlique Balancing Face Oil to give it a pleasant scent. Both have a clean ingredient list which I like.
7) Biossance Squalene Peptide Eye Gel - I just ran out of my DE C-Tango, which I slightly prefer to this, but this is quite similar.
😎 Sleeping Mask - depending on how well the sheet mask hydrated my skin, I use a facial oil like Korres Wild Rose or a cream like Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins.

Most of my sheet masks are finally within reach and in one place.
Just looking at this is relaxing 😉

[scarletb]

@eshoe totally miss my Origins Ginzing for AM I gotta get my hands on it! Also had the same problem with tagging on my iPad! 

[eshoe]

I have been on the same .5oz jar for a year now, @scarletb! I would bet that a holiday set might come out with it included, that is when I bought mine. Origins always has great sets at 🎄time:)

Me: 31F, combo/dehydrated

Concerns: hydration, dullness, texture, hormonal acne, pores, sun damage (sun spots and redness)

I’ve always been interested in skincare but this is my first attempt at a true daily routine. I tried to introduce my new products somewhat slowly and one at a time but well… I tried! Definitely open to suggestions!

AM

Cleanse: Just a cool rinse, as of now, this may change one day

Tone: CAUDALIE - Moisturizing Toner for a ph balance prep

Essence: FRESH - Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence- this has made my skin so soft… at least I think it’s because of the essence 🤷🏻‍♀️

Treat:OLEHENRIKSEN - Truth Serum® Still not sure if this is in the right spot I’ve heard Vitamin C in different places or if I should just skip toner/essence

Moisturize: Mario Badescu Hydro Moisturizer with Vitamin C - I do love the lightweight consistency for daytime summer but will likely change as it gets colder

Moisturize: BELIF - Moisturizing Eye Bomb

Protect: COOLA Dawn Patrol™ Classic Makeup Primer SPF 30 1 oz/ 30 mL - this was on sale on Birchbox and I needed an SPF for the Vitamin C I loved the idea that it was a primer… not so sure I like the consistency though and I think it’s possible it is causing a very small acne flair up but well I’m not sure at this point what product is the culprit or even if it’s just a little purging from exfoliants 

PM

Makeup Removal/ Oil Cleanse: I’ve switched between  CLINIQUE Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover 3.8 oz/ 125 mLBiossance Squalane + Antioxidant Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil 6.76 oz / 200 mL 

Water Based Cleanse: I’ve switched between FARMACY - Clean Bee Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser and Youth To The People Superfood Gentle Antioxidant Refillable Cleanser 8 oz / 237 ml but mostly Farmacy since I have the full size. Will for sure repurchase the full YTTP. 

Exfoliate: FIRST AID BEAUTY - Facial Radiance Pads I’ve really eased into these and have only used 2x a week but I will definitely integrate more frequently and eventually swap for something stronger a few times a week. 

Moisturizing Toner: Same as AM

Essence: Same as AM and also have skipped on exfoliating days but I’m not sold on skipping still figuring that out.

Treat/Hydrate: fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL

Eye Serum:DRUNK ELEPHANT - Shaba Complex™ Eye Serum

Moisturize: Drunk Elephant Protini™ Polypeptide Firming Refillable Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL or Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Lightweight Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 2 oz / 59 mL

Overnight Mask: belif Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask 2.53 oz/ 75 mL only used a few times on exfoliant days but I think it was a GAME CHANGER

Spot Treatment:Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion

Lips:LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Berry

[PenelopeBT]

@SoraDixie There's no such thing as a boring skincare routine, unless it's a Cetaphil cleanser and that's it. lol You got a good mix of products. I used Retin A years ago and it's really one of the best anti aging skincare products on the market. 

<3333

[eshoe]

❤️ my NuFace, @SoraDixie! You are smart to use it in the morning. I only recently switched from evenings to AM as I realized I was the only one seeing results lol. Going to check out that Timeless Beauty, thanks😊

[Zabby2116]

Oh man I don’t know why it took me so long to realize that I could do it in the mornings! Not only do I see the results throughout the day but since I do it after my husband goes to work and my kids go to school don’t embarrass myself with all the beeping. 

[eshoe]

I only wish mine beeped when I need to switch areas, @Zabby2116. I sometimes forget to keep track😕

[alexasteph]

My morning routine is pretty well set -

I cleanse with KS on non-physical exfoliant days, peel with Philosophy Microdelivey once a week, and use the Walnut Scrub once or twice a week. Everything else I use daily in the order of PTR - Truth Serum - SPF/Banana/Divine Drip (on neck/chest/dec.) - AO Light. 

Feedback - I love love love the Philosophy Peel and wish I could use it daily. QVC had a mega size for half the price and it’s a staple so I went for it. Been using it for years, same with the Josie Maran line. I don’t see myself switching that up either. The KS is a nice cleaner that doesn’t dry out my skin. I don’t know if I notice any chemical exfoliating benefits but a lot of cleansers are too drying for me so I’ll likely stick with it for now. Seems to last a long time too.   

I’ve been using the Truth Serum for a couple of weeks and I’ve really enjoyed it, but I’m afraid it won’t last very long since I’m already 2/3 of the way done. So we will see if I repurchase or go for a similar serum when I finish it. I’ve aslo only had the Walnet Scrub for a couple of weeks and I also enjoy it just fine, but I prefer Ole’s Sauna Scrub so I’ll probably go back to that when I finish this tube. Banana Bright is great, but I’m almost done with it, and I might need something more moisturizing for the winter months. 

Finally, the PTR - It’s fine. I like the Un-Wrinkle Pads better but I got this since it seemed faster for the morning (no need to rinse with water). I will go back to the Pads when I finish this bottle. 

My nighttime routine is a bit lazier... I remove my makeup with a micro-fiber cloth then might do a random mask... Nothing specific, but lately it’s been some sheet masks or pore clay masks. Since I got some samples of Origins masks I’ve been using them. I have a PTR nighttime retinol I’ve been so bad about using... I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it. It doesn’t bother me or break me out, but I don’t know if it’s doing anything. I’m going to try and start using it more.

I need a nighttime eye cream and moisturizer!  

[eshoe]

@alexasteph, I so feel your pain on not being able to use a peel daily. I have a cabinet full of exfoliants-physical and chemical, that I just ❤️ but had to set aside as they were causing tiny cracks in my skin only noticeable after applying foundation. Now I just scrub my lips😂 and soon I will probably have to give that up, too! I like your idea of using the JM Divine Drip just for the neck/décolleté. That has has been on my radar for awhile now but I have so many body butters I can’t justify it. This makes sense and I love it! Thanks for sharing!

[alexasteph]

@eshoe Divine Drip is great for it! I like it better on my neck/chest than anywhere else on my body or any other neck/chest product. Josie did put out a nighttime sleeping mask for the face and neck in the Divine Drip line but I haven’t tried it yet. It’s on QVC. But she actually did that because so many people loved it for the neck and chest, and were using it as a night cream. It’s just a tad too heavy for my face I think, even though I have used it that way. I defintely recommend it though! Neck creams are hard, and Divine Drip is really nice. I have three jars in different scents! 

[eshoe]

3 jars, @alexasteph😂??? I have only tried the honey scent, it’s on my wishlist for the fall sale. Haven’t heard of her sleeping mask. I wonder why she doesn’t have a calming/soothing mask, just the whipped mask (which I ❤️). Yeah I couldn’t see putting the Divine Drip on my face, it is way too thick even for my dry skin.

[alexasteph]

@eshoe I have I think 4 regular sized jars and 3 or 4 minis of the regular body butters too haha. Josie is one of my favorite lines! I have a few big tubes of hand cream and a couple normal tubes in keep in my desk and purse. QVC! They always have exclusive scents and the big sizes haha.
