Are you are morning or evening skin care girlie??

Do you do your skin care routine in the morning or at night?!

Ive always been a girl who does it at night cause I don't like to put makeup on over it, but im curious to hear what you guys do and why you prefer it??

I’m definitely more of a night-time skincare girlie too. I feel like my skin actually absorbs everything better when I’m not rushing out the door, and I hate layering makeup over fresh products. In the mornings I just do something super simple—cleanser, SPF, done.
I’ve been trying a few things from Skin Vitality lately and those seem to work better at night for me anyway, so that kind of locked in my routine.

A whole skincare routine includes both an evening (PM) and morning (AM) component, hence there is no such thing as a "morning only" or "evening only" routine. The nightly treatment stresses repair and regeneration as your skin strives to recover and renew itself over night, while the morning routine concentrates on protection and prevention against everyday environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays.

Both but the morning is more involved @aveeeee

Ooo Im curious what do you do in the morning differently than at night?

My morning routine is:

Cleanse 

Toner

Serum

Eye cream

Moisturizer 

Neck cream

Sunscreen 

Evening routine:

Cleanse

Serum

Moisturizer

@aveeeee  I shower at night, so that’s when I do the bulk of my facial skincare: makeup remover (if needed), cleanser, treatment(s), retinaldehyde, and moisturizer. 

In the morning, my routine is usually a water rinse (or if needed, micellar water or cleansing balm or very gentle non-lathering cleanser), azelaic acid, and sunscreen. In cold weather, I apply moisturizer under sunscreen.

@WinglessOne ok yes im very similar! Except my morning skincare is usually just toner and sunscreen. 
Im so curious what is azelaic acid and does it make your skin sensitive to the sun??

[WinglessOne]

@aveeeee  Gotta love a quick and easy morning routine! 

Azelaic acid doesn’t make skin sun-sensitive. It treats hyperpigmentation (including dark acne marks) and redness. It’s also a mild exfoliant (gentler than AHAs) and skin soother. Dermatologists like it for rosacea and acne patients. Azelaic acid comes in different strengths: OTC is up to 10%; 15-20% is prescription strength here in the US. I use a 15% serum. It does have side effects: itchiness is a common one, and I went through that the first couple weeks I used an azelaic acid product. (I started with Paula’s Choice 10%.) Then my skin got used to it, and I haven’t had that problem again in years. 

Eh, it’s not an ingredient everyone needs. But it’s very helpful for the things I mentioned.
