What is your skincare/ haircare routine? - Page 5

Tretinoin every other night buffered with ceramide moisturizers! The moisturizer I use is Avene Tolerance Control! It’s my holy grail as far moisturizing goes while using tret. I rotate with a few others like La roche posay double repair.

CeraVe cleanser for sensitive skin every morning

followed by a pinch of CosRx snail mucin all over my face,

followed by my under eye moisturizer (origins),

followed by La Roche Posay toleraine double repair face moisturizer with SPF 30 every day

I never step out without some form of sunscreen on. I rotate it with a few others like Biossance squalene + zinc with spf 30 (100% natural n mineral — this one) and Elta MD UV Replenish spf 44!

I don’t need foundation or concealers cuz the tret makes that pretty unnecessary but I put on my mascara and lip color on … n some blush, and eyeshadow depending on my mood n what my plans are for the day!

I also use Vit C serum (DERMAdoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C Serum) n rotate it with a few other serums like ole henrikson truth serum n biossance squalene + vit c + rose oil! <= either in the mornings on a clean face or at night on days I’m not applying my tret!

To remove makeup n sunscreen at night, I wipe my face off with MyChelle Enhancing CBD Rinse free wash. And then wash it all off with another soap free, all natural cleanser such as Korres or the CeraVe I use in the mornings depending on how beat my face is that day!

Lather rinse repeat like clockwork …

I’m a skincare junkie n my products need a section of its own while traveling ….

N I get Botox shots every six months … cuz I’m obsessed with looking forever 21! Sue me!!

oh n drink lots of water, eat a nutritious n balanced diet, work out 5 days a week n all that jazz!

P.S. for hair, I blow dry it on my own after showering, which is great cuz I don’t need to flat iron it n I’m good to go for the next three days without washing my hair.
N I massage it with pure rosemary oil 3 days a week cuz according to experts, it’s the natural alternative of minoxidil n equally effective to prevent or deal with hair thinning if that’s one of your concerns.
I shampoo with sulfate n chloride free products n deep condition my hair every week.

Then you’re set. 😗

I almost fainted just looking at the length of the essay…

Here for tips I know I won’t add to my skincare routine 😆

I kid you not, I even gave you and your search for "a simple girl with a simple skincare routine" a moment afterwards. 😆 and knew my post would leave you stumped.

Basics are

- double cleanse at night (almond oil followed by cera ve foaming cleanser to wipe away all sunscreen and makeup)

- retinol in the night (alternate between the ordinary 1% and avene retrinal), vitamin c (the ordinary ascorbic power mixed in with a moisturiser) in the morning

- sunscreen every morning - neutrogena zinc

- cera ve moisturiser in the night buffered with a bit of Vaseline petroleum jelly on super wintery and dry nights

- proper diet , yoga is a must

The only makeup I own is Kajal, mascara and lipsticks …no foundations, powders Or concealers

For hair care something that has worked for me is upping the Amt of curry leaves in my diet ..worked like magic to reduce hair fall, increase hair density

you don't wanna share your skin and hair care routine? Come on, don't be shy .... spill your secrets for the boyzzz here if not anything else. 😆

I have stopped applying most of the fancy stuff.

I use only Vitamin C and niacinamide (combined) serum and SPF before stepping out.

For soap substitute I use multani mitti, I use it only once a day after returning from work and do not let it dry much.

I have made a DIY ubtan with mungdal powder, masoordal powder, gram flour, kasturi haldi, rose petal powder. I apply it twice a week with milk, no scrubbing.

In morning I just wash my face with plain water.

I am doing this for more than a year and it feels much better.

Yet to find a good routine for hair.

That sounds just like Priyanka telling us that the secret behind her forever plump face is her grandma's yogurt mask. Tsk Tsk.

What about hair care though?

You just roll out of bed with hair already doing that ^^ au naturale?

None.

Am forever young and beautiful, with tight glowing skin and lustrous satiny flowing hair. My beauty secret is a cup of healthy blood every night, not a secret anymore 🧛‍♀️

Does applying sunscreen like crazy count? I just do that coz my sis has gifted me a lifelong supply of sunscreen 😆
