Your skincare routine?

i'm pretty into following my routine daily without missing any days. if i'm wearing makeup i'll start off with taking it off with some generic makeup wipe. i cleanse my skin more in the shower with fresh farmacy by lush (i feel like this cleanser is the best for my skin out of the ones i've tried but i've been using it so long, i kinda want to branch out since it's not PERFECT. but idk...i don't want to risk it).

on the days i need to exfoliate, i use my clarisonic with the cleanser on. after i get out of the shower, i use lush's tea tree water toner, followed by this missha time revolution essence. i continue with another missha product (a serum) and then end with a snail repair cream from mizon. for days where i want to get my skin more moisturized, i also use a sheet mask. i can't remember the brand but it's korean, and i get them in like packs of 10 for $9 on amazon, and they work really well! i also use laneige's sleeping mask for even more hydration.

oh and i've been taking these hair skin and nail gummies that seem to really help keep my skin in check! i think combined, these steps work pretty well for me, though i'll still get a few spots here and there.
 
It's pretty simple; I wash my face twice a day with a 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash, then put on an oil free moisturizer. About once a week I use a charcoal facial scrub/mask.
 
I have pretty bad skin, and I've tried numerous products.
Surprisingly, what has been most effective was slowly stopping most products. So I pretty much just rinse my face with warm water twice a day. In the morning I use Aveeno Radiant Moisturizer, then in the evening, I use my Illumask.
It seems gimmicky, but the Illumask actually works and makes my skin look more even.

It works pretty well for me, who's over treated their face for a couple years now. But I had seen some good from using Oxy 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Wash and a Neutrogena Face Mask.
I've heard Lush makes really good skin care products, so I'll probably drop by eventually and see if I can afford anything.

Here's to hoping my skin stops acting up eventually, haha
 
I use Dermalogica products and regular exfoliating. Moisturize always! Wear sunblock. Also make sure there's no underlying issues. Family genetics, autoimmune diseases that are hereditary...

My mom tried to force the whole 10-step Korean skincare program onto my sister and I when we were teenagers, but that made my skin really gross lol.

Nowadays, I drink a lot of water. Whenever I don't get my 8 glasses of water, I start breaking out for some reason. Since my skin is dry, I like to incorporate gentle acids (AHA, BHA, Glycolic) into my skincare routine. In the morning I use the Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser, followed by the Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream, and finally the Innisfree Ecoblock Sunscreen. After that I would apply my makeup if I choose to do so for the day.

At night I use the Hanyul Cleansing Cream to take off makeup, followed by either the Shea Moisture African Black Soap if I have breakouts or bumps, or the Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Soap if it's dry. Then I alternate between the Pixi Glow Tonic (a Glycolic, exfoliating toner) or the Maycoop Raw Sauce, and finally I apply my Paula's Choice BHA lotion. :D
 
The only time I wash my face is in the shower and there's really no way of stopping that anyway I don't use any moisturizers or exfoliate or anything I really don't think I need a skincare routine anyways?? I've never had acne I get the occasional pimple but I can't really stop that
 
i dont really have one, but i sometimes put some proactive on my face to keep those pesky acne away
 
I didn't realize how much my skin care routine had changed from the last time I posted here in February. That's pretty crazy.

Now what I use is Herbalism face wash from Lush and the stuff is just absolutely amazing. I switched from Fresh Farmacy because I didn't think it was really doing a whole lot for my acne and Herbalism really helped with it when I switched. I also switched facial moisturizers and now I use Lush's Vanishing Cream. It's makes my skin feel super soft and hydrated after I use it and I never have to use a lot of it to get good coverage. I'll also use Lush's tea tree toners and their toner water when I feel like my face could use a refreshment and they both work really well. I also started using the Hair Skin & Nails gummies and I really think those have been helping my skin stay clear and look better along with the new products I have been using over the last couple of months.

Lush products can be pretty pricey but in my experience, they have been SOOOO worth it for my skin. It's also really great to see such an awesome brand with great products fighting against cosmetic animal testing so I try to support them and buy their products when I can.
 
Oh wow all of you have very complex routines, and I just wash my face every few days and it's fine
 
I usually just wet my face and scrub it with whatever cleanser I have handy in the bathroom, then just wipe it off and start my dayy
 
I just wash my face each morning and night with my black ash soap. My acne used to be bad but its gotten much better since then.
 
I have an exfoliator that got from Target (yes, Target) that I use only on my blemishes and the oily parts of my face and surprisingly, it works really well. I have tried some famous brands such as Origins and Proactiv but none of them seemed to work on me. I'm just weird, I guess. ?・ᴗ・`

I wash my face
With soap
and sometimes apply stuff to acne, scars/cuts/blisters, and bug bites
Thats about it.
Why does it have to be more complex than that? xD
 
can't go wrong with the korean 10 step routine. im out of face masks tho. it takes about 20 minutes for me to do each day, so once school starts back up i might just have to settle with a moisturizer and acne treatment.
 
i just wash my face with water , moisturizer / sunscreen every morning , i use my spf 50 foundation as concealer , and if i think i'm getting a blemish i'll put a cream on it . i don't usually have a problem with acne , my skin is sensitive and dry . i was thinking of trying wonder pore by etude house , though , just to see what it does
 
I was fortunately blessed with pretty clear skin (I do get spots every now and then, because of stress and stuff), but I use a face moisturiser just to hydrate my skin and to keep it nice and soft.
 
I don't have ache but I have eczema all over my face so I just wash it. Putting any weird creams on it would make at way worse.
