What is your Skincare routine?

What is your skin care routine & is it working for you?

Here's mine:
I first cleanse my face with the Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads...
Then I wash my face with the Elizabeth Arden Cleanser for all skin types
And lastly I wash my face with Happy Me acne wash to prevent any acne! Whenever I exfoliate, I use St. Ives green tea scrub!

What do you guys think of this routine?? Please give suggestions on what you think I should change as well as what products?

Honey, are you using all those cleansers at the same time one right after the other?

Honey B.

@Victoria I don't think it's doing that much of a job. A few blemishes have popped up

Jan 10, 2014

Honey B.

@Danny yes I am. Right after the other

1. Exfoliate (4 days a week) with either lush ocean salt (once a week) or st Ives apricot
2. Philosophy "on a clear day" acne treatment

With On a clear day you can literally see huge improvements overnight. Every time I have a breakout ( mostly because I haven't kept up a good routine), it mostly disappears the day after I use it.

I also switch the "on a clear day" system out with exposed. Both are great, but my skin adjusts and becomes immune to one type of acne treatment after a while, so I switch to the other once one of them stops working.

I would switch out one of your washes or cleansers with a serum, moisturizer, or other cream. You don't really need to wash your face more than twice in one routine, but if it works, don't change it.

Can I ask why? feel like you could really be stripping your skin. washing with one of those products at a time is enough. you can certainly use them all just on different days. what are your skin care concerns so we can make some suggestions.

In the morning I use the clean and clear morning burst brightening scrub, boots anti redness serum, then follow with my clean and clear gel moisturizer. at night I use the neutrogena makeup remover wipes in the blue pack, wash my face with clean and clear deep action cream cleanser. use the boots serum again. then use a generous amount of vitamin e cream. any brand really I don't have a favorite. if I have acne I use a spot treatment by the elf studio line in the morning before my makeup. at night if it still looks bad I make a paste if aspirin and water then put it on the spot for 15 after I wash my face. just rinse it off then continue with the serum and moisturizer.

@Danny the reason is because I have yet to find a product that does everything I need it to so I feel like I need to use these products... I am kind of a novice when it comes to establishing a skin care routine & sticking with it...what do you think? Open to suggestions.. thanks!

@Pati I like that you keep it simple.. Hopefully I will find something that simple that works for me and stick with it

Makeup remover wipes, Neutrogena rapid clear cleanser, rapid clear toner, and rapid clear acne defense face lotion. Love that line! And I exfoliate twice a week and once I use rapid clear exfoliating wash and once I use ocean salt scrub with enzymion moisturizer afterwards, both from Lush.

@Melissa yes sounds like you know your skin very well as well as what works for it. I have yet to know my skin and what products will be beneficial to it

I think your cleansing your face way to much cleaning your face so many times with so many different products it harsh for your skin one good cleanser and a exfoliater should be enough,maybe you can add a serum to help with acne and exfoliating

I'm not sure of your concerns or age but basics would be face wash, serum, moisturizer. any basic face wash will do or you can stick w the acne wash. assuming it contains salicylic it will help keep your pores clean. I'm sure the Arden wash is not cheap you'd be better off investing that money into a good serum or moisturizer. serums; contain different ingredients to help w anti aging, dark marks and other concerns. again I'd need to know what your end goal from a routine would be. moisturizer; some are basic others contain anti aging or acne fighting ingredients either way this is a must in any routine. other things you can add are toners ; (used after washing gets last traces or makeup off and helps get your ph levels back) salicylic acids; face or spot treatment help w acne, exfoliating; (manual w a scrub or aha acids) removes dry skin help the texture and dark marks. SPF moisterizer every morning. if you can say what some concerns are I can see if I know any good products.

Traci L.

Agree ^^^^^

My program reads like a book but I agree with Traci and Danny C. You basically need to focus on a cleanser,daytime/nighttime serum, a daytime moisturizer with spf, a spot treatment for the occasional outbreak and an evening moisturizer.

And an exfoliator.

@Traci yes you are right but finding products that work for me is the problem.
