Skin care

What skin care products do you use everyday?

I am using the L'oriel (sp) 3 step one but don't really like it. Nivea is good though.

    ive got a facewash from superdrug (with `skintelligence` w00t) and one of their optimum range anti aging skin serum (which is really good) i also use a moisturiser of some sort - i have about 3 and just use whichever i find first.

    All my skin-care products are Burt's Bees now, since I got a little gift pack from my sister in law at Christmas and became addicted.

    At the moment I use their Garden Tomato Soap and Toner, and the Beeswax moisturiser. Everything they make is divine, though. :heart:

    I lurve Fresh Citrus Badger balm, in terms of Body Moisturiser...but it's too hard to find.

    I use salon stuff called Natures Way. We do a facial using it at college and I loved it, so I bought it from the wholesalers in my town. Expensive, but so suits my skin :yum:

    I use the cheapest face wipes i can find, usually Asdas own which I have to say I think are just as good as the more expensive ones. Sometimes I use Witch Hazel face wash. And then a Nivea moisturiser.

    I use just about any old facewipes to remove make-up when I'm too tired/lazy at night with a good moisturiser....

    I began to use products from the Dermalogica range after having a facial and I've never looked back! They suss out your skin and give you a "prescription" and lots of samples. However, it's a lot cheaper to buy products from the Beautyflash website as most salons charge a pretty high commission on all their sales.

    I have quite tempermental skin, but this stuff tends to calm it down!

    I use Simple face wipes twice a day to remove makeup and moisturise nightly.
    Every other day I exfoliate with St Ives Apricot facial scrub and then dunk my face into ice cold water to tone. Then plaster on Nivea Soft moisturiser.

    I massage my skin with jojoba or olive oil then massage it off with a hot flannel. Then moisturise if needed. :)

    Normal soap makes my face red and dry, no amount of lotion will help it if I use soap :(
    I even tried the neutrogena facial bar and that made me icky.

    I use shower gel if in the shower/bath and Clearisil (sp?) when I wake and when I turn in. I never wash my face with soap unless its Dove or something from Lush.

    1: Garniere face wash-great for spots
    2: Johnson's Holiday Skin Face Moisturiser stuff
    3: Evian face wipes for makeup before I go to bed


    I used to just use soap and water but it was trashing my skin tbh
    About once a week I use this Simple exfoliator scrub which is nice too :heart:

    I use a foaming clean and clear facial wash, and thats it. Soap makes me break out (even Dove) and moisturiser makes my skin feel strange. I sometimes use those acidy cleansers on my blackheads but I've run out of cotton pads.
