What’s your skincare routine (day/night/treatments)?

[PeachMelba78]

One of my friends asked me to share my skincare routine with her, and I was interested in yours!
Mine is quite intensive but doesn’t take long, but I think I use more products than most.

Mine is
AM - tone then magnitone, serum, rose oil, eye cream, spf, then wait, then primer and nanoblur (where needed)
PM - oil based cleanser, serum (different one), rose oil, eye cream and moisturiser (I switch between 2). If I’m really dry then I add coconut oil after 20 minutes.
Treatments - once a week mask, micro needling 3 times a year, DPO threads for my nose to mouth lines and plasma pen on my fine lines, both of these once this year and not needed again for at least 18 months.

So quite high maintenance but day today day only a few minutes.

So what about you? What’s your routine?

I absolutely love skincare I take huge pleasure in it but I'm also firmly in the "the basics are cleanse, moisturise and Spf" if you don't enjoy doing it.

Am - vitamin C, SPF, matte primer, CC Cream

Pm - balm cleanser, gel cleanser, Tret, peptide serum, moisturise, facial oil, lip mask

If I have a night off Tret once or twice a week I exfoliate with an AHA and add a sleep mask.

I use Bum Bum cream on my chest and hands before bed too ❤️

Ooo I love these types of threads!

So in the evening I use a glycolic acid with a warm cloth. Then vitamin C serum. 5 times a week some retinol product, otherwise just some really heavy face cream/mask.

Morning is usually just moisturiser with spf 30.

I use an assortment of brands from either TK Maxx / Superdrug, I'm not really loyal to any one skincare brand.

I'm considering getting a wee bit of either botox or some kind of lazer lift (if I can justify the expense- I'm not sure tbh). Not something I would have considered a few years ago, but into my later thirties now and just want to stave off deeper lines if I can (where im not sure all the best skincare in the world can fix!).
I read in Caitlin Morans most recent book that she got a little botox to stop her from looking "sad" as (instead of a resting bitch face I guess) people were telling her she had a sad face. I feel like i have a resting pissed off face so hence why I'm tempted.

Ha! Went off on bit of a tangent there.

Am
Boots botanics all bright cleanser (I must have been through 10 bottles of this!)
Vitamin c or elemental herbology cell radiance
Whatever moisturiser
SPF

Pm
Balm or lotion cleanser
Eye makeup remover
Skin and me prescription OR deviant exfoliating liquid
Murad revitalixir if I haven't used skin and me
Moisturiser
Oil if dry

Wow, this is like another language, I just wash in the shower and moisturise! Sounds like a nice bit of self care you all have going on there.

AM - bioderma pigmentbio micellar cleanser, led mask, vitamin c from the ordinary, hyaluronic acid and spf moisturiser like regenerist. I use niacinamide on décolletage, am trying to fade pigment.

PM - bioderma again to cleanse, either the inkey retinol or the ordinary buffet with some added hyaluronic, vitamin c and some niod de pigment serum on décolletage.

At home microcurrent every other day, derma rolling a few times a year, once a month a light peel from the ordinary, or some 10% lactic.
I tend to put 10 % salicylic on my nose, am and pm.

Once a week I massage face with almond oil for five minutes or so.
