I'm a girl with oily skin that believes in (mostly) natural ingredients.

AM:
Origins Checks and Balances Cleanser
LUSH's Tea Tree Water Toner
Biore Pore Perfect Shine Controlling Moisturizer
Origins Eye Doctor Eye Cream

PM:
POND's Clean Sweep Wipes
LUSH's Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser
Origins Get Down Cleanser
LUSH's Ocean Salt Exfoliater
LUSH's Mask of Magnaminty (4x/week)
LUSH's Tea Tree Water Toner
YSL Contour Expert Creme
Origins Eye Doctor Eye Cream

The reason I wash my face twice at night is because I wear Estee Lauder's Double Wear makeup, and I don't feel like it's all the way off unless I work at it!

morning...
-either cetaphil cleanser for oily skin (if i'm in the shower), or aveda's purifying gel cleanser (if at the sink)
-aveda's toning mist helps to absorb moisturizer into my skin, and also hydrate a bit
-aveda's outer peace line's acne relief lotion (this stuff is awesome, it has tamanu oil to help with the healing process of skin - preventing scars - and a naturally-derived salacylic acid - from wintergreen - to help kill existing bacteria)
-benefit eye-con for under eyes
-either aveda's hydrating lotion or oil of olay's spf 15 day lotion (a cheap, but good moisturizer that isn't too heavy)

night on the other hand, isn't always the most structured...
-same purifying gel cleanser from aveda
-vaseline, or if i remember, oil of olay's eye make up remover wipes, to get make up off
-aveda's exfoliant to smooth skin out and buff dry patches
-if i feel extra skin savvy, i'll put on aveda's tourmaline charged radiance fluid, which helps smooth skin and give it a nice glow
-same aveda acne lotion from morning
-aveda's pure vital eye cream (helps to get rid of puffiness)
*i usually skip lotion at night, since i get oily

for treatment, about 2-3 a week, i'll use the body shop's tea tree oil scrub or even st. ives acne prone skin scrub for extra exfoliation or a mask (either deep cleansing clay from aveda or body shop's ionic clay, both of which help soak up extra oil)
*whew*

am
Wash with Purity Made Simple in the shower, very gently buff my face, neck and cheat with Sephora's Complexion Brush

As soon I towel off from my shower I apply 4 drops Skin Ceuticals Serum 15 to my damp palms and rub in all over my damp face, neck and chest. I let that soak in for a few minutes.

When skin is dry, I apply Neutrogena Retinol eye cream, then I spot treat my blackhead prone nose with Philosophy Hope in a Bottle. I like to slather on a lip moisturizer at this tip as well.

I follow up with Skin Ceuticals Ultimate UV Defense (SPF 30) or whatever SPF 30 is my new passion.

I then do my hair, followed by makeup, get dressed and move my butt out the door to work!

pm
(I try to do this right after dinner, but often it does happen till bedtime)

Remove eye makeup with Ponds w/ Grape Seed oil/Bi-Phase stuff

Wash with same cleansing product as am

Apply Skin Ceuticals Intense Line Defense (A chemical exfoliate using same method as the serum in am) OR apply Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Lotion. (I switch off between the two every other night)

Treat eyes, lip and nose with same products as mentioned above for am use.

Then I wait. Later if my skin feels a little tight, or look dry in some spots, I slather on some Hope in a Jar lotion to those areas before sleep. (if I use retinol lotion, I skip this step)

Weekend treatments:
I like to steam my face with tea, do a manual treatment scrub like Philosophy Microdelivery Peel, followed by plain lotion (and eye cream) all over my face, neck, chest. I will hold off on makeup till I go out that night. If I skipped makeup (like when I stay home all day in with the DH that night I will use a Chanel Activateur Hydratation toner before I go to bed, and throw on some thick lotion. If I wear makeup during the day, I will wash and treat skin as normal before I go to bed.

AM:
- Clinique 7 Day Scrub (unless I'm taking a shower later that day)
- Cetaphil for sensitive skin
- Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer
- Neutrogena UltraSheer sunblock SPF 30
- MAC Fast Response eye creme just before makeup

PM:
- Neutrogena makeup removing wipes (if I wore makeup)
- Cetaphil again (if taking a shower, then here is 7 Day scrub)
- Paula's Choice 2% BHA lotion
- Paula's Choice Extra Strenght blemish fighting lotion (5% BP)
- after all absorbed, then moisturizer again

Morning: Proactiv Cleanser, Toner, and Lotion. Then I use Olay moisturizer with spf 30.

Night: Remove makeup with Cetaphil. Proactiv kit followed by Proactiv Sulfur Mask. Then Olay Moisturizer and Vaseline on eyelids, lashes, and lips.

It seems like a lot but takes under ten minutes.
