Uhm...moisturize after a shower. Wash face and brush teeth before bed. I take care of my nails myself.0
-
I'm pretty low maintenance. Wash my hair and face in shower, use moisturizer for my face, lotion for my body, brush teeth, floss and mouthwash. The more crap I use to look pretty, the worse my skin looks.0
-
I'm pretty basic. I only go all out when I have plans to go somewhere nice. Although I religiously paint my nails every 2 or 3 days. I can't stand my nails naked. I could probably start my own nail salon with all the polishes I have.0
-
I swear by getting 8 hours of sleep per night, along with regular exercise, and snuggling.0
-
I use 100% organic skincare products. I cleanse, tone and moisturise. I don't wear a lot of make up and I stopped using nail polish around 15 years ago.0
-
moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I also do a clay mask one a week, always have my nails painted, although once a month I take off the polish for a couple of days to let my nails breathe. I use a body scrub once a week to exfoliate and use St Ives collagen body lotion after I shower. The only makeup I wear daily is a light foundation and Burts Bees watermelon lip balm. I do more for going out somewhere nice. I brush my teeth at least twice a day and I floss every day. I exercise at least 6x a week. Except for getting a haircut every 3 months I do everything myself.0

My skin hates me now. I've always (even through most of my teens) been someone who could just wash and moisturize but those days are behind me. sigh.
Now, I have acne. The dermatologist has me on oral minocycline (antibiotic) 2x a day. I wash my face in the shower in the morning with a mild cleanser and after I'm out and dried off, I put on clindamycin gel (antibiotic) and an oil free moisturizer/sunblock. I don't put on make up.
At night, I wash my face with the same cleanser and every other day (working my way up to every day) put on a retinoid gel (Atralin) followed by moisturizer.
It sucks.0 -
I really don't do much sugar scrub my skin once every week than moisturize with Dial 7 day moisturizing lotion (smells so good )

I make all my own products but the routine itself is pretty basic.
Mornings is dry brushing, body soap, face wash, body lotion, face lotion, sunscreen.
Night is dry brushing, body soap, face wash, body oil, and face oil.0 -

What do you use for the sunscreen? (Ingredients).0 -
My makeup routine sounds extensive but it really only takes five minutes. :happy:
In the mornings I shower, wash my face, moisturize, and then use a primer, liquid foundation, bronzer, blush, setting power, eye shadow and mascara. I wear pretty much the same stuff everyday. If I'm going out then I just play with my eye makeup more.
I've been blessed to have mostly good skin if I take care of it and take my makeup off every night. I do get breakouts during **that** time of the month, though.0 -

I use the recipe from Gorgeously Green (it's on youtube), but I use just titanium instead of a mix of titanium and zinc.
Oh and I forgot I use and oil cleanser at night to get my makeup (if wearing any) and sunscreen off.0 -
I use Proactiv for a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. I don't have acne but I get occasional pimples and it helps with my oily skin.
I use Bare Minerals for my foundation, concealer, and bronzer and Maybelline Big Eyes for my mascara.0 -

Ever since I bruised my toenails (backpacking 20 miles through sand in desert canyons) I started painting them. The bruises are gone now, but I like the look, so I keep them painted. :laugh:
Other than that, I'm fairly low maintenance. Hair in ponytail. Moisturizer, sunscreen (mineral - titanium and zinc, since I don't like the chemical sunscreens) and a little concealer under the eyes, mascara, maybe some lip gloss, and I'm good to go.0 -
Oh, and they aren't products, but I do a face massage, use exfoliating gloves, add vitamin c to my body and face lotions, have a bario (it's an electric Ped Egg), I clip my cuticles, do a weekly papaya or pumpkin mask, sometimes and epsom salt bath, and my homemade soaps have papaya and milk for the enzymes and lactic acids. I like to do little bits each day. I have lots of little tips and tricks, but I'm so used to them by now, it's hard to remember all of them!0

My beauty routine has seriously changed as my diet and physical activity changed. Eating healthy and keeping active has cleared all of my acne problems except for those caused by monthly hormone fluctuations. So on a regular basis I rinse my face with water twice a day (morning/before bed) to rinse off oil(I have oily skin) and put on a strong SPF facial moisturizer. I only wash my face every other day when I don't wear makeup, and only once a day when I do. Any more than once a day and it irritates my face and starts drying it out, even with oily skin. The irritation then causes preventable acne and it becomes a vicious cycle.
If I do wear makeup, my routine is moisturize and let it sink in for 5-10 mins, apply a Korean BB Cream (western brands are not up to par, yet), set it with some rice powder, fill my eyebrows with a pressed powder using an angle brush, curl lashes and apply mascara, apply lip balm and/or lipstick, and optional blush if I feel like any additional color.
The rest of my body pretty much takes care of itself, so I really only use moisturizer during winter, and only when it's windy. My nails are also significantly stronger from changing my diet, so I pretty much just maintain nail length and nail varnish, then ignore them.
For hair I have an undercut, so other than buzzing the shaved parts I just straighten the top and use hair spray at the roots to add some volume.
For my beauty tips:
BE SERIOUSLY WARY OF ANY "BEAUTY HACKS" YOU FIND ON PINTEREST!!!
Many of them sound plausible, but really do nothing or actually cause harm to you skin. I'd suggest looking at the video "DIY Skin care recipes you should NEVER try!" on youtube by Veronica Gorgeois before you try any. No point ruining your skin when you're trying to improve upon it.0 -
I wash my hair every 2-3 days with shampoo bars, heavy conditioner and diluted vinegar rinses. I wear it in an ugly pink sleep cap at night to prevent tangles. :bigsmile: No dye, no heat. It's soft, super shiny and growing like a weed.
Right now my skin routine is pretty simple. I use mostly CeraVe products. I'm waiting on some products to try out an asian skin routine. http://www.skinandtonics.com/asian-skin-care-guide/0 -

I feel you! I had a very similar issue for an entire year. I did oral and topical antibiotics,prescription benzoyl, and prescription retinoid. None of it really helped. Then I switched birth control and haven't had an issue since. I hope it clears up for you. It's rough to deal with0 -
Wet skin,
Apply soap,

Done.
Brush my teeth twice a day.
Trim nails when i cant hold on. ( rock climbing)
Cut my hair..... I think last time was 2007?0 -
Hair: I love Wen hair products and an Avocado hair soak once in a while.
Face: I wash it with water morning and night. Sometimes with Free & Clear soap if I'm taking off a lot of make up. At night a use coconut oil all over the face. It's amazing.
Skin problems: Coconut oil. It heals everything!
Body: I use coconut oil but I also use Free & Clear moisturizer
Scrub / Exfoliation: Sugar and melted coconut oil. Mix and scrub away!
Nails: I'm a recovering nail biter so I have very weak nails. I love Duri coat nail polish
Make up: I use e.l.f. Cheap and pretty darn good stuff.
Tips: Buy coconut oil and use it for everything! It's amazinng!!!
Also when purchasing anything, always buy cruelty free (aka not tested on animals)0 -
Shower daily, using an occasional scrub as well as body wash. Wash face using Clarisonic facial brush, followed by toner and moisturizer. Scented lotion after shower paired with matching body spray or perfume. Brush teeth+mouthwash, straighten hair, use lip scrub and balm, self manicures and pedicures... I could go on.0

I've had Mirena for 4 years now... the acne is much more recent. :ohwell:
I'm starting to notice a difference in it now. I just hope the Atralin helps make the scarring disappear.0 -
Hair:
1) Daily wash with either Suave Humectant Shampoo or Tressa Watercolors Liquid Copper color depositing shampoo (to keep my red fresh)
2) Condition with Ion Repair Solutions.
I color it every two months with L'Oreal Excellence HiColor Copper Red with a #10 developer so it fades out instead of growing out & doesn't damage my hair as much.
Face:
1) Wash twice daily with Equate Rejuvenating Daily Regenerating Cleanser (the Wal-mart version of Olay Regenerist) with a spinning face cleansing brush
2) Follow up with Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair with SPF 30 & Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream
3) Then to moisturize I use Avon Anew Clinical Eye Lift Pro Dual Eye System & Olay Professional Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream
I rarely wear make-up. Sometimes if I'm feeling shiny I'll brush on some loose powder with a big brush. If I'm feeling ambitious I'll put on a tinted moisturizer to smooth out my skin, some smudged eye liner, & a lip stain.
Nails: I always paint my toenails red. I buff my fingernails to a high gloss (like I'm wearing clear polish) & then use a white french tip pen to color the underside of my nails--it looks like I have a french manicure but it doesn't chip off as much like painting the tops.
I use Heel Tastic on my feet, goat milk & shea butter cream on my hands (bought the base from a seller on Etsy), & Jergen's Shea Butter Moisturizer on the rest of me.
I sugar my arm pits & used to do my legs too, but the skin is now so loose (gross!) that I have to shave again.0 -
