I wash and moisturise my face morning and night. I shower/bath and then moisturise all over daily. I apply a face mask when I'm having a particularly bad skin day.

Other than that I don't do anything else.

Oh, most days I wear makeup. I'm not sure if that is included!

I think I'm going to have a weekly intense pamper... a long soak with bubbles.. Shave. Tidy eyebrows rather than waiting until they are creeping towards my eyelids! Scrub and moisturise my feet (this is a biggie as I usually neglect my feet!). Can you think of anything else to include?

I shamelessly bite my fingernails Blush I do prefer shorter nails tbh but I would like them be groomed and finally this habit if at all possible. Do you think gels would be a good idea to get started?

Please share your daily/weekly/monthly beauty rituals. Be it what you slap on your face to what you eat and drink to nourish from the inside out! Thank you

And lastly can anyone recommend a good spf face cream? My skin is quite sensitive.

Foreo Luna. Bought it, used a few times and let it stand on a shelf, unattended. Started using again each night about a month ago and skin feel amazing. Very clean (but gently so) and have started using the massage bit on the flip side of it, to apply serum. Skin looks much fresher.

Clinique Iced Lotus Blush. I look dead without it.

Aveeno Colloidal Oats Cream. Bloody marvellous stuff.

Fade Out Anti-Ageing Cream spf25 with collagen.

Best of all (because I have no brows 😊). My Brow Primer. Whatever you put on your brows, stays on all day. Even in this weather.

I love my Luna too Aunty

Sorry...it’s NYX Brow Primer Waterproof. £6. Good stuff!

I’d love a decent sunscreeen.

To the poster who mentioned Frezyderm, do you use moisturiser underneath?

haverhill · 01/07/2018 17:36

No I don’t. Especially in this hot weather. It seems to function as a good sunscreen, moisturiser and foundation in one, doing all 3 jobs well unlike every other similar product I’ve tried.

I really like La Roche Posay sunscreen for the face, it’s non greasy and absorbs well. I use factor 50, and then put fake tan on.

I’m 53 and my skin still looks good, so my best advice is stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen! 😀☀️

All these beauty tips are fabulous! Will certainly be looking at some of the moisturisers with spf in as I’m in the sun every day and am guilty of neglect lol! My only beauty treats are eyebrow and top lip wax and gel nail extensions.

Op gel nail extensions. Basically an extension tip glued on with gel over the top. It takes some time as there is a lot of filing involved to get a nice smooth finish but I love having mine done and find it very relaxing x a pic of my most recent x
