This is a place to share your skincare routine of the day! Whether it be daytime routine or nighttime routine, I know you have one. From simple to complex, expensive to inexpensive products: show and tell! If you are anything like me, your skincare routine changes daily. Skincare isn't as showy as makeup, but it is the quiet work horse of our daily lives.

You might want to include with your post: your skin type, skin concerns (& the weather where you are).

⭐ Sometimes if all you can do is your skincare, that is enough.

Oooh, that's a nice nighttime routine, @l8totheparty!! I am going to start trying the Herbivore as soon as I am through my current alt retinol. Does the ordinary rose hip have a scent?

l8totheparty · ‎01-21-2020

Yes, it has a mild, earthy scent to it. I really like it in my evening routine when I remember to add the oil. @haleyvvvv

Love that TO rose hip seed oil @l8totheparty! <333 The Sephora Collection Glow Peel Pads are nice too! 🙂

@lmaster I love the mister on Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL, and it smells so yummy!

lmaster · ‎01-20-2020

It's a product I will never run out of @averylayne 😉

haleyvvvv · ‎01-21-2020

Oooh, I think it's coming in a future boxycharm box, so exciting to try it! @lmaster @averylayne

lmaster · ‎01-21-2020

It sure is @haleyvvvv you will love it!!

itsfi · ‎01-19-2020

Nice skincare lineup @lmaster! 💗💕 Is the Skin Inc serum a custom blended cocktail? If so, which serums did you use?

lmaster · ‎01-19-2020

It's the skin Inc my daily dose uplift @itsfi bought it from beautylish, it contains collagen, q10 and HA thanks!!

itsfi · ‎01-19-2020

That trio of skincare ingredients sounds lovely @lmaster!

lmaster · ‎01-19-2020

I just started using it @itsfi I love the colored capsules in this serum 🤦

itsfi · ‎01-19-2020

It’s a good brand @lmaster. Sephora used to carry it in store and online; before the KBeauty trend got really big (Sephora was ahead of the curve).

l8totheparty · ‎01-19-2020

What's the tub of strawberry mush type product? @lmaster

lmaster · ‎01-19-2020

@l8totheparty those are jayjun Roselle tea eye gels, they smell wonderful

eshoe · ‎01-19-2020

Oooh yes I ♥️ those eye gels @lmaster @l8totheparty 🤩

lmaster · ‎01-19-2020

They really are great!! @eshoe

l8totheparty · ‎01-19-2020

Oooh haha thanks! 😊 @lmaster

😍😍😍😍 Gah, this is my dream thread!!! Thank you so much for starting it @l8totheparty!!

My morning routine:

Spoiler

It doesn't really change until I run through a product and then onto the next, because my goal is to work through all of my stash. I have fairly normal skin (minus some overexfoliation a few weeks ago). Its winter, and I just moved to a humid-ish climate.

Cleasner: I didn't make a picture of my cleanser, but I'm using Origins Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash 5 oz/ 150 mL. It's good? Cleans, mostly gentle. Foams. It's a good standard, not my favorite, but trying to finish my stash before buying more.

Micelle water: SEPHORA COLLECTION - Triple Action Cleansing Water. Again, not my favorite, but was looking for a cheaper dupe of my fav. Its supposed to be non rinse, but is a little tacky.

Toner: Indie Lee CoQ-10 Toner 4.2 oz/ 125 mL. I haven't used enough to have a full review, but no negative reactions so far.

Essence: SK-II Aging Skin Facial Treatment Essence with Antioxidants 5.4 oz/ 160 mL. I don't think this does much for me? It's the first essence I've tried, so going to see if another does anything beyond helping following products absorb. It doesn't have any negative reactions but is a little tacky. Absorbs fairly quickly.

Firming serum: The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% Serum for Facial Wrinkles 1 oz/ 30 mL. I really like this. I think it's actually doing things for my eye lines! It absorbs quickly, thin texture, not tacky.

Vitamin C serum/hydrating: OLEHENRIKSEN - Truth Serum® Mini. I like this. I think it's a good serum, definitely helps my skin be more luminous, but it doesn't spread the best, so I have to use a fair bit. Am going to try to find another serum that works similarly, but will go back to this maybe.

Brightening/hydrating serum: CAUDALIE - Vinoperfect Anti Dark Spot Serum. I know this is supposed to be a brightening serum, which I think it does to a bit, I find it hydrating as well, which is mostly what I've been using it for.

Spot treatment: Origins Super Spot Remover™ Acne Treatment Gel with Salicylic Acid 0.3 oz/ 10 mL. I think this works, albeit slowly. It's obviously drying but not the most drying if that makes sense. I'm definitely on the lookout for a better one.

Moisturizer: CLINIQUE - Pep-Start HydroBlur Moisturizer. Oooof this is not my favorite. I don't love the texture, and it doesn't even blur very well. It's not the most hydrating, which for my new climate is okay, but in Calgary was not. I'm so close to being done with it though!

Oil (not pictured): Wander Beauty Glow Ahead Illuminating Face Oil 0.84 oz/ 25 mL. I got this in a boxycharm box, I think. Its definitely not my favorite, but again, we working through those stashes. It's pretty, got some pink and sparkles, but oh gosh this does nothing. It doesn't even really add luminosity and underneath other things gets fairly lost. Its fairly tacky though, so it can kinda work as a primer.

Sunscreen (not pictured): Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector Broad Spectrum Face Sunscreen SPF 42 1 oz/ 30 mL. Great absorption, works well, good protection, but is runny (I use my beauty blender) and definitely leaves a white cast. I'm fairly white and pale, so this isn't as much of an issue for me, but isn't great for deeper skin tones, and means it's not a good product for everyone and that's unfair.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">It doesn't really change until I run through a product and then onto the next, because my goal is to work through all of my stash.
