What Is Your Skincare Routine?

E 45 moisturiser ,under the eyes before bedtime

 

I usually use a facial cleaner a few times a week, facial wipes in the morning and right before bed and I always use a moisturizer last.

 

I don't like to use many products. Just cleanser, toner (sometimes) and mosturiser. As simple as possible.

 

First thing in the morning and right before bed: moisturizing facial cleanser, followed by a moisturizing toner. Currently using Cera Ve, but I'm not married to the brand. Then I apply Covergirl hydrating water gel. That's my everyday routine.

I'll also exfoliate in the shower a couple times a week with a exfoliating pad or sponge or whatever it's technically called. I also use plenty of moisturizer because I live in the desert and it gets so dry, my skin can look like paper. I'll also do the occasional Korean face mask from time to time...usually the collagen or glow ones. I like the ones that make me look like a panda

 

I simply have some Biore Witch Hazel Cooling Cleanser which is supposedly in part and acne medication and also toner of the same type and brand. I try to do this every day but cannot seem to actually pull it off. When I take a shower, I like to use this cleanser in the shower. My face moisturizer is a Collagen lotion that I found at Walmart. I find that this is just exactly one of the right skincare products for me when I am trying to configure what exactly I want to use for multiple times. I like the Burt Bee's Peach and Willow Bark Facial Scrub but I don't have it right now! And when I take off my makeup, I like to use a makeup remover wipe which is also a cleanser.

 

LOL I gave myself a facial today by simply leaning over a pot of boiling water.

Laugh all you want, but it works

 

First, I wash my face, neck and décolleté with just some hot water and a washcloth three times *(rinsing well between each wash).

Then I take a 'two peas' sized amount of CeraVe cream, and rub it between the palms of my hands. Afterwards, I lightly wet one palm with some water, then I rub both palms together again to blend both the water and the cream until it becomes a lighter coloured mixture. I then apply this blend to my newly cleaned skin.

I've been doing this for a few years now, and my skin always stays so well hydrated, soft, never greasy or irritated. CeraVe is a really great cream, and the ceramides it contains holds water very well, so mixing it with water first locks some additional moisture into my skin. It's fabulous!
