Skincare Routine of the Day

[l8totheparty]

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.

It's not purely HA, the top two ingredients are HA varieties, and then some humectants and some more HA, @heartsmyface. It is okay, a light/med thickness serum, no scent.

Yesterday morning, which seems like ages ago in skincare terms.

Spoiler

Everything is pretty normal except for the Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya 1.7 oz/ 50 mL which is one of my least favorite products. I just want to finish this one this year. It is a good gem for the right skin. Scent is pleasant and welcoming.

@eshoe  Use the farmacy as a body lotion and it’ll be done in a week or so and you’ll smell wonderful;);)   I actually really enjoy it and bought backups of it but right now I am in desperate need of more hydrating products.  I know it’ll be loved to death in the summer though.  

[eshoe]

That’s a good idea, @heartsmyface! I just used it again this morning and I can’t seem to finish it fast enough. The scent really is unique and enjoyable. It’s been fine for me this winter, it’s just so.sticky😆

[heartsmyface]

@eshoe   Ohhh i read that and had to go apply some to see what you were talking about.  Okay yeah it’s got some tack all on it’s own. Do you ever apply a face oil over it?   It cuts back on the tackiness a bit.  If it’s a sensory issue even when diluted down and not a results issue give yourself permission to declutter it.  No sense in making yourself feel miserable and sticky.  Haha, my advice to put it all over would make it torture if you’re not enjoying how it feels on so taking that suggestion back. 😅

[eshoe]

That was a good read, @heartsmyface, you gave me a couple of things to consider. I will try out the oil. I don’t generally wear facial oil during the day, but its worth a shot! I prefer not to declutter skincare, if I can repurpose it though...now that’s another story🙌🏼👍🏼

[haleyvvvv]

Oh no, @eshoe!! I'm sorry the Farmacy moisturizer isn't a fave. Its always so annoying to have a product that you dislike but isn't like, harmful, and have to finish it up before moving on. It always takes me so long to get through those items; you got this!!

[eshoe]

@haleyvvvv lesson learned: always sample skincare first, especially something you intend to wear daily🤦🏻‍♀️

I finished a similar product by using it as foot cream, I just can’t bring myself to do that with this. It really is a nice product, the scent is enjoyable; it’s just not for me.

Updated weekly routines 

AM 

Minus firming serum because I'm using foil samples 

PM 

Cleansers/Daily Toners etc 

Minus makeup remover since I'm using foils

So many lovely products, @faeriegirl!! How is the YTTP eye cream?

[faeriegirl]

I really like it @haleyvvvv . It’s very hydrating and my eyes aren’t near as puffy when I wake up. 

[haleyvvvv]

Oooh, that sounds great!! Thank you, @faeriegirl !! Adding to my to grab list. 

[naturalooks15]

@faeriegirl  Looks awesome ! How do you like this YTTP Vit C and the Glow Recipe Niacinamide? Do you know the % of Niacinamide in this Glow Recipe serum? I don't think I saw that info. 

[faeriegirl]

@naturalooks15 I love the Yttp vitamin C. It is the best I’ve tried. I’m still on the fence with the GR niacinamide drops. They are nice and I do get a glow but I think the price is too high. I saw in an interview they are not disclosing the amount of niacinamide because it’s a proprietary blend.

[naturalooks15]

Good to know about both @faeriegirl  !! I have been with DE C-Firma and wanting to explore other Vit C serums. 

For Niacinamide, I recently got The Ordinary Niacinamide powder and mix it with TO Marine Hyaluronic and apply. I think I will give that a good 6-8 weeks before switching, given it's so affordable. I am open to trying a more sophisticated Niacinamide formulation though which has more ingredients/ better ingredient list for brightening in addition to Niacinamide.

@faeriegirl Looks like such a fun routine - and pretty, too!

[faeriegirl]

@greeneyedgirl107  It is so much easier for me to stay consistent when I have a fun routine to look forward to❤️

[greeneyedgirl107]

@faeriegirl Is that the FAB Wild Oat Toner?  I already have two toners that I'm not using, but I'm open to a third!

[faeriegirl]

@greeneyedgirl107 It is, it has been so hydrating and soothing this winter.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@faeriegirl It's definitely piquing my interest!
