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.

Oh wow! Yes, I used that Balm, it was good! I got that one and this one from my Boxwalla subscription box! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Boxwalla has some great products in its sub boxes @sister13. I have a few more  skincare products to get through before I can even think about starting up on a sub box again. 😂

[sister13]

I know! Every time I think I’ll pause it, I’m like, but it’s all so nice and a great value, even though I can never use it at the rate it arrives! @itsfi 

[sister13]

@itsfi @I just realized I have the cleansing oil AND a DragonC vitamin C brightening oil serum. So I have two things to look forward to!

[itsfi]

Ohhh, she really has expanded that line @sister13! I’ll have to take a look at her offerings.

Hey there folks! With the transition from winter to spring (according to the calendar, at least 😏), has or will your skincare routine change in any way? Whether you're a long time skincare enthusiast or it's you're just getting into skincare, would love to see and hear about everyone's routine! Hit reply to the original post ⬆️ and give us a look into your skincare routines. 

Just going to tag some folks who have posted here recently but would love to hear from anyone and everyone who'd love to share their routines! @sister13 @faeriegirl @Cissy63 @Samtian @heartsmyface

Because the weather is changing, I will switch out OLEHENRIKSEN Strength Trainer Skin Barrier Moisturizer with Peptides and Niacinamide 1.7 oz/ 50 mL for Glow Recipe Mini Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer .68 oz / 20 mL. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi I was just thinking about this thread last night! I'll photo what I'm using now in a few. 

[itsfi]

Yaaaay! Can't wait to see and hear what skincare goodies you're using @Samtian!

[sister13]

Hey @itsfi ! I’ll post an update shortly, have been meaning to actually, but so busy! I have been needing some simplification in my routine due to laziness and lack of motivation, and some extra hydration with a spray (easier sometimes than unscrewing the cap and pressing in the essence). I have also added back in some Vitamin C or brightening serums in the mornings. I had a deluxe promo of the Herbivore Nova 15% Vitamin C + Turmeric Brightening Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL that I’m trying out and also still using the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum with relative frequency #. Nothing miraculous in terms of results from either, but also haven’t looked that closely lately, haha.  My Missha Time Revolution essence is almost done so I have a fresh Kombucha Antioxidant Facial Treatment Essence 5 oz / 150 ml waiting in the wings that I can’t wait to get on my face! Love to hear from everyone else! 

[itsfi]

I'm all for simplification in my skincare routine, especially my morning one @sister13. Some extra sleep time is golden (and good for the skin, too!) 😁 Will keep an eye out for your routine; looking forward to seeing what you're using.

Recent morning routine. I’m sad that Sephora stopped selling Perricone, but I have several backups of my favorites, including the Cold Plasma + (a staple, though not pictured) and the moisturizer with SPF. 

The Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm and Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum I think may have come in the SEPHORiA box, and I’m loving them. I got the #capture youth essence I think on a sale and I notice a smooth and brightening effect when I use it, though it has a strong scent I don’t love. It says to apply with a cotton pad, but I just splash on a few drops more like an essence. I e really been liking the Time Revolution serum, kind of a bi-phase serum. And this Perricone moisturizer is my go to. It’s hydrating and leaves a nice glow and the SPF is super effective. The Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask is a fave! 

And here’s a pic of me without makeup after this routine, though probably has the portrait filter on. 

[faeriegirl]

Nice routine @sister13! I love that shade of the Tatcha lip mask, it is so pretty!

[faeriegirl]

 Am routine is pretty consistent. I do alternate between the PC and TJ sunscreens.

 Pm routine. 4 nights a week I use retinol, skinfix and the yttp dream mask. 2 nights I use the Farmacy honeymoon glow, honey halo, and yttp dream oil.

[sister13]

Wonderful routines! That dream mask is so great! I’m loving your YTTP and Farmacy items, even though I don’t use the same ones (except that dream mask). I’m super tempted by that adaptation mist, though I have too many mists and essences to use up for a while. @faeriegirl 

[faeriegirl]

Thank you @sister13! The dream mask is my all time favorite mask! The mist is really good, especially when my skin is dry or irritated.

I am going to start with my morning routine.  Starting by washing with TULA Skincare The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser 6.7 oz/ 200 mL . Then I apply #Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Toner.  Right now I’m using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum .  For my eyes right now I’m using Hide Power Nap Eye  Roller.  It’s cooling with the metal roller ball to dispense the eye serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Avocado Soothing Skin Barrier Serum with Ceramides 1 oz/ 30 mL and Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Brightening Treatment Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL  daily for almost a year.  My am daily moisturizer is Honest Beauty Hydrogel Cream.  But while there is nothing wrong with it, it’s also not showing me anything great.  I have a small jar of Glow Recipe Mini Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer .68 oz / 20 mL to try in follow up .

My evening routine starts with a balm to double cleanse.  Farmacy Clearly Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 3.4 oz/ 100 mL is what I am using now and I love how it melts makeup off.  Then I will wash with the Tula cleanser, follow with The Ordinary hyaluronic acid and eye roller.  My serum changes to either Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One AHA Lactic Acid Treatment 3.4 oz / 100 mL or Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum or #Sunday Riley C.E.O.Vitamin C serum, or Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Multi-Recovery Complex Serum with Hyaluronic Acid 1.7 oz/ 50 mL .  I alternate these serums.  They last a long time.  My evening moisturizer is Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment 1.7 / 50 .  This is new to me and my skin is really appreciating it. 

 

 

[sister13]

 Nice routine! I have always liked that EL serum. I also love the Green Clean and Sunday Riley items. @Cissy63 

[Cissy63]

@sister13  Thank you,  EL makes some good products.  I am so glad I discovered Sunday Reilly.  They have worked we’ll for me.

[Samtian]

It's been a while since I've posted my routine. I'm still trying to chip away at my samples I have. My HG toners are no longer made, but I'm really loving this Huxley.

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  I have heard of several of your products.  I’m glad you know that they are effective for your skin.
