[Whatwouldyoubuy]

At the moment I use

oskia renaissance cleansing gel

Superfacialist by Una Brennan Glow Boost Skin Serum

[Picastyle]

Combination skin, 51 years old

AM
Micellar water
Clinique mild clarifying lotion #1
Clinique smart serum
Clinique moisture surge

PM
Alpha H balancing cleanser
Alpha H Liquid Gold every other night on its own
AD Skin Synergy oil on alternate nights to Liquid Gold

It has taken quite a while to find a routine that helps with combination skin, the clarifying lotion and liquid gold have really made a difference to my skin.

[coffeetofunction]

My skin care routine is awful...watching intently

[BowiesJumper]

Im 34 and have dry skin.

AM- La Roche Posay - physiological micellar solution
followed by aveeno moisturising cream (sinks in well for makeup).

PM- La Roche Posey - physiological cleansing milk. (Gets rid of make up really well and is gentle).
La Roche Posey - soothing toner
Followed by la Roche posay cicaplast baume (or just aveeno in summer if I'm not too dry).

And I use savlon on any spots (hormonal)!

[happyfeet1]

28 with dry skin (that was a bit oily on t-zone before bf).

AM - No7 oil cleanser. Going to get a water based one that I can sweep over my face with a cotton pad for the mornings as this is a faff. Then No7 Protect and Perfect serum, P&P day cream, Clinique Super City block spf 40.

PM - No7 oil cleanser, P&P serum, P&P night cream.

I also use No7 exfoliator twice a week and a Lush face mask after it. Sudocrem on any spots which are pretty rare as skin in goid condition atm.

It's only a basic routine but I have 3 dd's, youngest only 5 months and I'm a single parent so it has to be do able in a couple of minutes as soon as they all wake in the morning before we get dressed. It also means that I should be able to keep it up when I return to work from mat leave.

[Whatwouldyoubuy]

I feel you on the single parent malarky. My twins have turned 4 now and I'm only just getting on top of my skin again

[chanie44]

Morning - splash of water, serum, moisturiser.

Evening - face wash, serum moisturiser.

All with the body shop aloe range. My skin is prone to spots so I try to do as little as I can to my skin.

I am 29 with combination skin (very oily t-zone and very dry chin and cheeks - annoying).

Morning: just wash with warm water, pat dry and use la roche posay moisturiser and GOSH primer before make up.

Night: usually Bioderma micellar water, but currently the body shop camomile cleansing balm but it's a bit drying (strange as cleansing balms are usually so rich and buttery), then Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate patted onto skin, which has made the biggest difference of any product I've used.

PM

Clinique ddml

I am 29 with combination skin

AM

Nuxe eye cream

PM

Twice a week I use Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (as a facial massage for 30 minutes)
and twice a week I use a face mask - either Boscia Luminizing Black Mask, Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute Mask or Avene Cleanance Mask. I always follow the Mask with Avene Moisture Mask which I leave on all night and wash of in the morning.


Throughout the day I spray Avene facial water on my face.

I have a few different face washes because the condition of my skin does change throughout the month and I found that one type of face wash does not always suit my skin type everyday.

[pussinboots61]

At the moment cleanse and polish at night and Body Shop Aloe moisturiser, just rinse with water in a morning then use tinted moisturiser.

Some of you seem to use a lot of products :)
