And what are your go to products?
E.g Cleanser, toner, moisturiser, foundation, mascara etc.

At the moment I have been reaching for:

St Ives fresh face scrub
Olay beauty fluid
Rimmel match perfection foundation
Rimmel stay matte powder
Avon eyeshadow quad in brown shades
Mac bronzer
Clinique mascara
Vaseline rosy lips

For my hair I just straighten it or put in a messy bun.

Do people bother shaving their legs every day? I really just can't... especially in the shower it annoys me so much. I'll shave my armpits if I'm wearing something sleeveless though

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/05/2017 22:30

My routine is very simple (unlike my nearly 15yo DD who loves her products)

Mine-
shower:
wash hair every 2 days. On other days it gets soaked anyway.
I have a container of face washes (mine and the DC/DH) Mine are Superdrug foaming/NSPA exoliating/Elemis Foaming. What I use depends on how my skin feels.
Showergel at the moment- Elemis Sea Lavender/Waitrose Basil one/Original Source Lime
Shampoo varies (I put them in the cupboard and grab one out)
Teeth with a waterproof electric brush in the shower

Moisturiser- I have a Boots Botanical, some Aldi serums, NSPA , Elemis serum (new one)

Night time - Pixi Glow , then serum
If I wear make-up ( rare) I have Bodyshop Camomile balm and muslin cloths.

RubyGoat · 14/05/2017 22:41

Morning:
Face:
La Roche Posay Toleriane cleanser
Rose water (as a toner, with cotton wool)
La Roche Posay Serozinc thermal water spray
Vichy Aqualia serum
Avene Hydrance moisturiser
Biore Watery Essence SPF50
I sometimes wear makeup - quite like the Lancome Teint Idole 008 which is super pale so it's actually my correct colour! Mascara & Rimmell Colour Rush lip colour stick, or clear lip gloss.

Body:
Before shower (while it warms up) - quick scrub with the body brush.
Eucerin shower oil for dry skin, all over.
Hibiscrub on my back & chest. These two products have totally transformed my skin (am mid 30s & still have crappy teenage skin...)
Dove silky body cream, or similar with urea, salicylic acid, and/or lactic acid in, to combat KP. Just on arms & legs.

Evening:
Una Brennan vitamin C cleansing oil
Lancome gel eclat face wash
Rose water
Paula's Choice BHA, with a 20 minute wait after application.
3 nights per week, I use use Biologique Recherche P50W
La Roche Posay Serozinc thermal water spray
Vichy Aqualia serum
Avene Hydrance moisturiser
La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 Baume liberally applied on any spots

Body:
Use the damp cotton wool leftover from the facial BHA, on my upper arms, to combat any KP bumpiness. I don't have any on my arms now because of the BHA & body lotion, & I'd like to keep it that way.

Regular hand cream. Especially around my nails. Plus something with SPF if it's sunny out.

Mornings:

Shower every morning and shave armpits and legs (I go over armpits everyday but legs I usually miss a day),
Usually wash body with dove soap,
Wash face with water.
Wash hair every other day - at the moment I'm just using an Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner.

After shower I use body butter and moisturise my face with moisturiser. I was using a Clarins day cream but since it ran out I've been using an Aldi one, which is brilliant.

Brush teeth.

Clarins primer
Rimmel Lasting Perfection foundation
Rimmel translucent powder
Barbara Daly Bronzing powder
Body shop blusher and highlighter
Maybelline Eyebrow mascara
Clarins mascara (which is shit so when it runs out I will be going back to maybelline lash sensations).

If I've washed my hair I'll blast it with the hairdryer - I'll blow dry properly if I'm going somewhere nice but if it's just work I don't really bother.

Evening:

Cleanse face with organic coconut oil and as hot a flannel as I can bear.
Moisturise or put gradual tanner on body.
Brush teeth.

Flisspaps · 14/06/2017 21:21

Mitchum deodorant
Lidl moisturiser
Most days I remember to clean my teeth (Corsodyl toothpaste)
