Ok, I think I've finally got a decent routine, but I'm still going to be tweaking it a bit.
Morning:
*Wash with Biotherm Biosource softening cleasing foam. (pink
)
*Use Biosource softening lotion (aka toner) also pink
*pink Aquasource
^^Lol, I love how the dry skin stuff is pink. It makes me smile in the morning.
Wait ten minutes to let the moisturizer sink in, and then put on MAC Select Tint Spf stuff. So that covers cleansing, toning, moisturizing, sun protection and foundation to seal and protect from dirt. I think I'll start a thread about whether I should be using an eyecream. I'm only sixteen, but hey why not start young?
Night: Huh. I haven't quite worked this out yet...
Twice a week or so:
*Biotherm Pure Bright Polishing clarifying cleanser (exfoliation). I have to be careful to put this on, gently rub and then get it the hell off. If I leave it on very long it really dries out my skin.
*Cetaphil to get the rest of my eyemakeup off.
*Small smount of Aquasource, sometimes toner as well.
Rest of the time:
*Cetaphil to take it all off.
*Again, sometimes toner and then Aquasource. I only use the toner at night if I feel like my skin needs some love.
Also a couple times a week I'll use Warming Mineral Mask from the Body Shop. It makes me happy, and my skin too.
As well, I'll randomly mix up some face treatment with stuff around my house and use it whenever I feel like being pampered. Another great thing to do when my skin feels like it needs some extra lovin' is to get a bowl full of hot water (has to be steaming), put a few drops of favourite essential oil in it, make a tent with a towel and my face and sit there for a few minutes. It makes the rest of me feel all relaxed and happy too. Great for stress. I think that's about it.

Morning:

- Origins United State tonic
- Origins A Perfect World antioxidant moisturizer
Night:
- Origins Checks and Balances cleanser

Pretty simple, and it seems to be working well.

i think the most simple skincare regime works best for me...
morning: cleanse, moisturize, then put on eye cream...cetaphil for oily/normal skin, olay spf 15 lotion, benefit's eye-con
night: cleanse, tone, treatment for acne, deeply moisturize, eye treatment...after taking off make up w/ remover, i wash with clean-and-clears eye make up removing cleanser (i try not to sleep in ANY trace of make up), then philosophy's purity face wash, then i tone (i'm using some stuff for acne now w/ salicilic acid, but i LOVE clinique's clarifying toner level 2), spot treat patches/zits w/ benzaclin (cream) OR clindamycin (lotion) - i refuse to use either in the morning, it can tingle a little, and then i use a thicker moisturizer (i like one from clarins, it's in french and can't remember the name for the life of me), and then dab a little bit of regenerist from olay under and over my eyes
once a week i exfoliate in the shower w/ st. ives scrub (original)...i put it on clean skin and leave it on a minute or so while the steam settles in...sometimes i'll steam my face or do a clay mask, but that's pretty much it. i have pretty nice skin other than those breakouts i tend to get mid-cycle, so simplicity seems to work best

The one thing I've learned over the past few years is to remove one's makeup completely before bed....
And exfoliate!
Damnit, the two things I've learned...
(I'll stop with the Monty Python jokes. Promise.)
1. Wash face with cleanser of choice. I haven't varied much from Clean & Clear's Continuous Control Acne Fighting Cream Cleanser. It's a benzoyl peroxide-based one, which, unlike Saliycic Acid, it kills most acne-causing bacteria in lieu of simply drying out oil-production glands.
2. Twice a week, apply MAC's Microfine Refinisher to wet skin and rub thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
3. Place half-dime sized amounts of Neosporin (to heal blemishes), a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream (to fight new blemishes), an alpha-hydroxy moisturizer (to chemically exfoliate and to moisturize [I really love Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Night), and Mederma (to fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation) in hand and blend onto entire face.
4. At night, moisturize eyes with Benefit Eye-Con.
5. At night, cover face with Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque.
And exfoliate!

ah, one of my favorite topics! 8)
am
Wash with Chanel Systeme Purete Le Gel in the shower, very gently buff 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 Philosophy's Hope in a Tube to my Lip and Eye area, then I spot treat my blackhead prone nose with Philosophy Hope in a Bottle.
I follow up with Skin Ceuticals Ultimate UV Defense (SPF 30).
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 Chanel product
Apply Skin Ceuticals Intense Line Defense (A chemical exfoliate using same method as the serum in am) or Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Lotion. (I switch off between the two every other night)
Treat eyes, lip and nose with same Philosophy products as mentioned above.
If my skin feels a little tight, or look dry in some spots, I slather on some plain Cetaphil lotion to those areas before sleep. (only when I've wash earlier though, if I am beat tired, I will skip this)
Weekend treatments (I usually do this the morning after a night out at a smoky bar or have been hanging out with smokers)
I like to steam my face with tea, do a manual scrub with Chanel Masque Purete Express (a gential scrub/mask combo) followed by lotion all over my face, neck, chest. I will hold off on makeup till I go out that night, or just skip makeup if I stay in with the DH that night. If no makeup is worn, I will use a Chanel Activateur Hydratation toner before I go to bed.
