[Badders123]

I'm 44
Only started using skin care when I turned 40
Used Liz Earle for ages - but the last cleanser I bought was horrible
Switched to Nivea and Estée Lauder
Am: Nivea cleanser, Nivea toner and Q10 day cream
Pm: Nivea cleanser, Estée Lauder advanced night repair, Nivea Q10 night cream and Estée Lauder eye serum

I do like the night repair though

[OCSockOrphanage]

Old (60)

Morning, before shower, Dermologica pre cleanse, into shower, remove, then Dermologica special cleaning gel and a brush with Lidl silicone brush. After shower, Bioderma Hydrabio serum and a few drops of marula oil. No make up generally. PM, often nothing at all but more precleanse if I have worn make up, removed with micellar water.light moisturiser (currently Moisture surge) and more marula oil.

I have a few wrinkly bits and turkey neck but nothing to agonise over given my age. I look the same as I did at 45, if I take my glasses off!
(Probably only to me, and blame presbyopia for the rest. )

[bunnybleu]

Avene Extremely Gentle cleanser
Olay Total Effects Fragrance Free (day)
Clarins night cream
Eye cream is either Nivea Q10 or Clinique All About Eyes
LRP Effaclar Duo cream on my tzone

Have had a foray into some other products over the summer but have come back to my old faithfuls. Foundation is still Body Shop although my DH brought me back some Double Wear from the EL hq staff shop which is good for extra coverage if needed.

[bunnybleu]

I've also just starting taking Boots vitamins for skin, hair and nails to see what they do I live in hope

Also, bought some Dermalogica Gentle Exfoliating Cream (I think) which is tingly but ok and hasn't made my skin react, so I use this twice a week as my exfoliator.

I'm just at the amount of products some people use.
My current routine is Liz Earle hot clothe cleanser twice a day. That's it. Early 30's, normal (slightly sensitive) skin. I keep thinking I should invest in a moisturiser at some point but I don't like too many products on my face
