I wash my face with Clean and Clear or soap and then I use Simple.. I love it, have been using it for years!

What's a skincare routine?

I swipe a flannel over my face in the morning and evening and that's about it Occasionally in the winter, if my face is feeling a bit dry, then I might slap on a bit of baby lotion but otherwise I just don't bother

Having said that I'm lucky in that I have an olive complexion that pretty much looks after itself - at 45 I don't have a single line and my mother was the same ... she still didn't have lines when she passed away (and she was 69).

If it's a bit of pampering you fancy though how about getting him to treat you to a facial and then buying some of the products they use for it if you like them?

I wash my face with Mary Kay's Time Wise for oily skin, folowed by a moisturizer. Once or twice or week, I use a microdermabrasion.

I throw some cold water over my face, give it and good wipe and that me !!! lol In the winter I do suffer from dry skin but I just use Decs baby lotion

 

[morri]

I am picking on my skin and then put some panthenol on it

 

[dani_tinks]

I use Neutrogena deep clean make up remover wipes because they're oil free
and then use Olay double action moisture for normal/dry skin.

 

[Elli21]

I wash my face everyday with water ... twice a week with black head gentle exfoliating stuff and thats it.

 

[Scamp]

Just water normally. Sometimes face wipes to wipe off make up but thats it. No moisturiser or toner

I break out a lot if I don't do what is now my skincare routine.

I use Clinique products: facial soap for oily skin, then the clarifying lotion, then the moisturizing gel for my eyes I use all about eyes serum morning and night. Every other day I use the 7days scrub and once a week I use the deep cleansing emergency mask.

I also use dalacinT which is a topical solution prescribed by my dermatologist. I usually use it around my periods because I break out around that time of the month so I use this instead of the clarifying lotion.

My skin is very high maintenance and it took me quite a while before finding the right products!

The Clinique 3 step routine is pretty good. That is what I always fall back to after I have tried something new. ust now I am using the Clinique mild soap and then their mild clarifying lotion. At the moment I am using Lancome Hydra Zen Gel moisturiser which I like a lot.

Quite a few deals around just now as the counters have their Christmas gift sets in.

I love lotions and potions. It is the only thing I miss being able to splurge on without thinking now that I am a SAHM!

 

[Phinners]

Boots No 7 range is glorious!!

 

[Inge]

I just use some face wipes in the morning and at night and maybe some moisturiser and thats it! Im too lazy for anything else! I used to cleanse tones and moisterise every day twice a day but cant be bothered now

 

[Kelz22]

I cleanse and tone my face everyday then put a day moisteriser on and before bed put a night moisteriser on.I use simple cleasner and simple toner.I use lidls own brand of day and night moisterisers.They are brill.xxx

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

I wash my face with some random rinse off cleanser, think it's Sainsburys own but I use Clarins moisturiser and eye cream. I use Clarins gentle exfoliating toner about once a week. I use Clarins night cream at night. All the Clarins stuff is supposed to combat the first signs of ageing, they're designed for women in their 30s (although I'm not there yet!)

 

[vaniilla]

I'm pretty big on my cosmetics and I could give a big list, but for me the main things that I use are

shu uemura cleansing oil, its great because it removes make up/cleans, cleanses and softens your face all in one so if I'm in a rush or too lazy on a given day then I don't need to worry too much, I just use this after brushing my teeth and it makes a big difference to my face.

Elemis tri enzyme face wash, I love this stuff, I have problematic skin tone, i.e I get red cheeks & nose and this really helps keep it under control

clarins flash balm - best thing as it makes your face look amazing with nothing on so great when you don't have time to stay at home and spend ages getting ready

clarins hydra quench day & night cream - moisturizers, I like these ones as usually other moisturizes make my skin greasy

gatineau 3d lift serum, makes skin look so healthy

forgot to add, shiseido do really good eye creams

that pretty much covers my routine although I add a few things depending on the season, it sounds like a lot of hassle but I have great skin as a result which would otherwise be covered in spots (what happens if I let myself go for a week) as my skin is really prone to break outs feel free to pm or anything if you need anymore recommendations or suggestions.

I could list all day really, I get my skincare things usually from house of Fraser, online or beauty salons, they're very rarely sold at drug stores, i.e boots, superdrug.

I wash my face with cool water in the morning and use Dior Essential 1 serum then at night I remove all my make up with a face wipe, rinse with cool water and apply a Nivea night cream.

 

[sjminimac]

i swear by temple spa products, i have (had) oily skin and had spent a fortune on different products when i came across these at a spa party. I don't think you can buy them in the shops, pm me if you want a link to look at x

 

[Lauraxamy]

I wipe my face or take my make-up off with Johnsons 3in1 face wipes.. then I wash my face with neutrogena 2in1 wash which is a mask and a face wash.. then at the moment I use if it's the morning Boots daytime face cream and at night the night time one.
