Your basic beauty regimen please.....daily, weekly, monthly and all the other bits too!

[McDreamy]

I need to get a grip. I'm a bit sporadic. I'm getting older (40 next year) and can't really afford to be sporadic anymore

I'm sporadic too. Can't help, sorry

I'm becoming less sporadic...

Morning: rinse off cleanser, day moisturiser.
Evening: rinse off cleanser, serum, eye cream, night moisturiser.

Twice a week: scrub and mask.

Once every 5-6 weeks: eyebrow wax

When I have time (probably about once every 2 months): facial at salon

That's about it. I use Avon Solutions range, it's a bit cheap and cheerful but works better on my skin than a lot of the more expensive brands I've tried.

I love Avon stuff although I don't use there face stuff yet. How about make-up?

whats wrong with being sporadic?

if I have to show my legs I will shave them. ditto armpits

don;t even get me started on my bikini line

I'll fake tan when I need to and dye my hair when the grey startes to show.

But I dont plan these treatments in advance, or do them to a rigourous schedule...too high maintenance for me

i'm religious.

morning - dove soap, sometimes lush toner spray, caffiene eye roll on, lipocils, no7 beauty serum, no7 day sorbet

evening - makeup off with baby wipes, dove soap, nivea q10 eye cream and bit of tea tree oil

once a week superdrug vitamin e facial scrub and occasionally mudd mask

also v sporadic, esp in the hair removal department.

Have found that recent age-induced tendencies of skin to look crap have been very well countered by more routinely (i.e. most nights rather than one in five) cleaning and using serious moisturiser/facial oil at night.

In summer moisturise body every day too.

Cleanse tone and moisturise morning and night with Liz Earle produscts

Try to rmemeber to scrub and mask once a week, everything else as and when.

Moisturise all over body every day after showering too.

Rituals-

Daily- mornings- use warm water and cotton wool to clean face.

Apply moisturiser, sun screen every day, make up - sorry but look shit without it- very pale.
Evening- remove all with cleansers, use night cream. Currently mixing up cheap cleanser- LOreal- £3 ish- with Clinique and REN face creams.

Weekly- facial scrub- Clinique for sensitive skin.

Weekly or more often- foot file and foot cream.
Weekly- shave legs/underarms.
Weekly- file nails and apply pale polish.
Weekly- body scrub in shower using REN rose scrub- delicious.
Daily- body lotion after shower in mroning/bath at bedtime.

Every couple months- hair trim. Colour/lowlights 1-2 a year.

Make up: foundation, mascara and glossy lipstick every day. I use No7 make up.

Hair: wash every other day, straighten most days (apart from when, like today, I'm not going anywhere so it's just tied up). Colour at home about every 6 weeks, Cut every 12 weeks with a fringe trim in between.

Shave legs when I remember, but every other day in the summer.

Shower or bath every day, moisturise afterwards.

Morning - splash of cold water. Olay Regenerist serum plus whatever moisturiser I'm dabbling in at the monet - currently a Neals Yard one. Beauty flash balm a couple of days a week, foundation, bit of blusher, mascara and Mac shale. Vaseline on lips.

Evening - Clarins gel cleanser thingy followed (every couple of nights) by Olay Regenerist exfoliator thingy.

Handcream - lots - whenever I remember and deffo before bed. Footcream - before bed a a couple of times a week. Body lotion - am between them at the mo but when I have a nice one, every evening.

bath and hair wash every day. Eyebrows plucked and legs and armpits shaved - couple of times a week.

Hair dye - whenever dp can be bothered to do it for me. Every couple of months.

Hair: wash it with Aveda shampoo and conditioner every 5-7 days or so, apply Bumble & Bumble straightening product, leave to air dry (and I only brush it before I wash it).
Don't get a haircut more often than about 4 times a year.

Body hair: don't bother with anything other than eyebrows/facial hair which is every month or so, or if I'm beginning to look a bit hobbit-ish. Shave my underarms/legs whenever it's needed during the Summer/bare leg season. But only the lower leg - I never wear skirts/dresses above the knee.

Not very high maintenance here, but I do wear high factor sun screen and a hat when it is sunny (should wear sunscreen all year round, but don't)

Morning splash face with very cold water for a minute then put on a bit of organic, virgin olive oil.

Evening Winter massage face with same olive oil and remove with warm, damp cotton wool pads
Summer wash face with olive oil soap (Oliva)
Don't moisturise at night unless skin feels particularly tight in which case use a dab of olive oil.

Also use olive oil after bath
Use Boots Emollient cream or Oilatum on face in Winter before going out walking.

Bleach moustache weekly
dye eyelashes 3-4 weekly
face mask - honey or mashed avocado twice weekly

Hair t-gel (dodgy scalp) decent conditioner, serum and currently using Frizz-eze wind-down - dry naturally/scrunch dry (have curly hair)
