skincare - routines, products, etc
Don't necessarily have to answer each of these questions... I'm just trying to get a general idea of what you do for skincare and what products you recommend.
What is your skincare routine?
What are your favorite products? Least favorite?
Have you started using "anti-aging" products yet?
Re: skincare - routines, products, etc
What is your skincare routine? I use proativ for cleansing, lotion, etc. I clean my face at night and in the shower. I also use a makeup remover (from origins). I use Origins for makeup. Love it and none of these products have ever made me breakout.
The proactiv does dry me out some, so sometimes I will use Dove exfoliating cleanser to help nurish my skin again.
What are your favorite products? Least favorite? see above. Although I did like the Bobby Brown and Mac products I used for my wedding - my sis uses those and the Bare Essentials (so does my mom). I just can't switch as it's like starting ALL over and that always seems costly.
Have you started using "anti-aging" products yet? ha, you're too young for this but I probably should be!!!! I have thought about it more recently to use at night and such, and need to look into it more.
What is your skincare routine? I wash (once), tone, and moisturize my face in the morning. In the evening I wash (twice, tone, and moisturize or use a regeneration serum. Once a week I exfoiliate with an acne scrub and in the Summer use a sulfur masque b/c my skin is oiler that time of year.
What are your favorite products? Least favorite? BeautiControl is my favorite. I don't have a least favorite, but other products didn't remove the oil from my face like BC does (Origins, Proactive, Clearasil, Neutrogena, Serious Skin Care, Clinic).
Have you started using "anti-aging" products yet? Yep. The best maintenance is preventative maintenance!
I use Cetaphil and wash my face twice a day with the clarisonic. During the day, I follow with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle cream and at night I use Alpha Hydrox Anti-Wrinkle Cream. I've also started using Kinerase, but not long enough to see a difference.
My skin has aged a good bit in the last year and I really wish I would have started using anti-aging products in my mid to late 20's.
As for favorite products, I really love the Clarisonic and I think it has made my skin look much better than it ever has before.
At night, I wash my face with cleanser and use eye makeup remover. I moisturize with a night cream. In the morning, I wash my face in the shower with Cetaphil. I moisturize with Olay Regenerist SPF before doing my makeup.
I've been using the Olay SPF stuff for a while, but I've just gotten into the rest of their Regenerist line. I am using the night cream, and I bought the microderm kit. I really, really like it so far.
I think the best solution is preventative maintenance too - that's why I'm really starting to go the extra mile now!
What is your skincare routine? i have a simple routine. i wash with soap (cetaphil, dr. bronners are my favs), apply layer of benzoyl peroxide, then moisturizer
What are your favorite products? Least favorite? i've been using bare minerals for the past couple of yrs and don't plan to switch. i love it. i also use MAC products for my eyes. i used to use MAC face makeup, but it clogged my pores too much.
Have you started using "anti-aging" products yet? i use an eye cream for my dark circles when i remember to buy it. other than that no. i have really oily skin so i try not to use too many products.
Right now my adult acne is back in full force. The dermatologist just put me on oral low dose antibiotics. I also have to use Cetaphil face wash....Differin Gel at night...and a prescription moisturizer under my makeup during the day. He also said that while I am getting my current acne under control I can't put any liquid makeups on my face. I can use my Bare Minerals...I just can't put it on heavy. I pretty much have to stay away from everything else right now
Hopefully I can get this cleared up. When I do I plan to start using the Olay Regenerist line. Each time I take care of a little old lady with really pretty skin I always ask what she has used on her face. They always tell me the same thing. Most every one of them have used Olay products their whole lives! That is all the convincing I need
