Love reading these threads, so interesting to see what routines & products everyone uses.

My skin doesn't react well to lots of different products all layered on top of each other so my products differ on a daily basis.

Today
Clarins foaming face wash
Lumene vit c serum
Body shop vit c moisturiser
Clinique city block

No makeup

Yesterday I left out the serum & moisturiser as used ultrasun as a moisturiser then
Laura Mercier radiance primer
Nyx eye pencil
Clinique chubby stick eye shadow
Eyeko mascara
Bobby brown lipstick

I must have the skin like rhinoceros hide. As I WFH make up is a distant memory, so I just tend to use soap and water to clean my face, then Aldi serum (I will be going back to Protect and Perfect as I really don't like the smell of this one) and moisturiser.

On the rare occasion I wear make up I am meticulous about removing it before I go to bed no matter how tired I am.

I WFH but I need to wear make up as I do a LOT of teams calls. It’s not a pretty sight without make up on.

Also it’s a new job so i feel like I need to look polished

None of us have really high res webcams so you can't tell if anyone is wearing make up or not on Teams calls TBH. I used to wear make up when I was office based, and I miss tarting myself up, but my favourite nake up item is lipstick, which is pretty pointless under a mask when going anywhere.

1. Water, eye gel and facial moisturiser.

Soap and water
Sun cream with a tiny bit of foundation mixed in
Concealer
Mascara
Vaseline on lips

Ethique serum
Toddle balm factor 50
Ere Perez eyebrow grooming stuff

Bit of boots natural collection powder blusher
Lip balm mixed with a tiny bit of maybelline lip pencil (which I then thought looked too much aargh!)

8 - I consider myself quite low maintenance but some days it’s definitely more than this! I still wear make up when wfh, I like the ritual plus do school run so don’t want to look totally shit.

I am a skincare tart and love trying out samples and new recommendations so things will get swapped around when I run out, but this is my current selection. There's 2 drawers in my bathroom filled with Xmas gifts and miniatures to move on to

Do I really need SPF50 on cloudy days when I don't step out of the house?

Do I really need SPF50 on cloudy days when I don't step out of the house?

Tbh...I would say no, you don't really! But I know a lot of people swear by wearing it every day, no matter what, so awaiting correction

I use spf15 in winter and on cloudy days. Today I am wearing spf30 and I have spf50 for summer sunny days.

Cerave SA face wash
Lumene oleo moisturiser
Biore aqua sunscreen 50
Waterproof black mascara (not sure of brand)

Clarins eye cream super one in red bottle with gold top.

Quite a lot of semen. Massaged it in as actually has lots of vitamins and protein and its pH value is really good for smoothing and tightening.

Quite a lot of semen

Um...semen? Did you mean serum?

😆

No, that poster has to shoehorn sex into every post they ever make, like a horny teenager.

Ugh annoying. Thanks for clarifying.

Water, nivea. I might add some eyeliner and/or lipstick later on if I leave the house.

The best typo ever!

Nowt except for my contact lenses.

Off for a long hilly bike ride so don’t bother with a wash or moisturiser or make up or anything other than my lenses!

Am genuinely amazed at the amount of products others on here use in the mornings. I don’t mean that in a negative way- just that I never realised they all existed or that other people put so much time and thought into their faces in the morning.

So am I.

I realise that everyone has their own particular skin problems, but I wonder how many could be improved if the less is more approach was taken.

I like wearing make up and plan to wear some at the weekend when I meet up with friends, but I don't feel the need to wear it at home.
