What skin products do you use?

[darthfia]

I did not see another thread like this so ill make one.

I used Kerstin Florian, it worked really well, but it was to expensive in the long run.

I switched to Clinique maybe 6 months ago, (a friend recommended it) and im happy with it! My skin is much more clean now and smooth.

What kind of skin products products do you use?

For my face, Shea Terra Organics Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Wash & Mask  twice a week and Cetaphil Cleanser the rest of the time. Cetaphil or Eucerin facial lotion.

Eucerin Calming Cream on most of my body after showers, especially my arms and legs. This really helps calm my overly sensitive skin.

Then I will try to get a bottle of Eucerin Calming Cream.

Would like to try it!

I'm using a variety.  Mario Badescu, DHC, and the various things I get from my beauty box subs.  

I have combo skin and am starting to wrinkle (eww!)  But I'm 40 and never did much to my skin before so I'm learning now.  And it is so fun!  LOL

I use different skincare products, just depending on what I have in my collection that I am trying to use up at the time.

I`ve heard from alot of beauty departments that it is best to use skin products from the same line,  do you think that`s true or just to sell more stuff,, 

Is there some truth behind it? I really have no idea

They only tell you that so you will buy more of their stuff.  Mostly.  Some things work together, but for the most part, you can mix and match what you know works for you.

I've been using Juice Beauty's Organics to Clear Skin set for a couple of weeks (it has a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and mask). I stopped using the cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers, and masks that I usually use so I could see how the set works on my skin. So far, I'm impressed.

I don't have a specific eye cream that I always use. At the moment, I'm trying out the Kiehl's Rosa Artica Eye Cream that I got in this month's Birchbox.

i use different skin products.. my most favorite brand is clean & clear!! i love their facewash and moisturizer

 

[Suyana07]

I have been using Pond's products for skin, like Face Wash and Cream. And For Eyes- Maybelline Kajal and for lips- The Body Shop(which I love most)

Product from the same line are made to work together, which can be interesting in anti aging, but there's no wrong to use different brands.

I live in France so i use european products.

I use a cleansing milk that also acts as makeup remover from Mixa, for very sensitive skins. I also use Aleppo soap, but not everyday as my skin doesn't agree with it too well now that the cold is here.

I'm currently finishing a bottle of Vichy sunscreen, it's not my favorite, too much perfume, but given its price i don't want to throw it away.

In terms of moisturizer, i currently use the hydrating protective cream with spf from Galenic, great stuff, as well as my Avene fort, a topical treatment for rosacea, which works quite well in terms of fire control, it calms down the redness and prevents it from getting worse, which is all i'm asking for. I'm also finishing up two day moisturizers that don't work so well as night treatment.

Homemade scrub with jojoba pearls.

Hydrating mask from Galenic, i'm in love with their hydrating line, it works really well for me.

I'm in the process of buying an anti aging serum, a couple have caught my eye but i'm still wondering which one is best for me. I also plan to switch to my winter moisturizer soon, i use the thyme honey cream from Korres, for dry skins. It's a little expensive but one pot lasts all winter, and when spring comes i know i am left with decent skin.

I also battle major rosacea redness.  Over the past few years it's become worse and worse, and my pores enlarged and I became HORRIBLY oily this summer.  Over the past six weeks or so I've begun using some products research said may be good, and my skin already looks totally normal (although I still got a small breakout on my chin around the month time). 

At night, I take off my eye makeup, then use a makeup remover cloth.

Cure Aqua Gel is expensive, but it's fabulous and very gentle for exfoliation.  Anything with beads, even for sensitive skin, just aggravated mine.  Twice a week I use that, and the other days I use the Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap, although I am going to try to change to Dr. Woods Black Soap with Shea Butter when I finish this first bottle of Shea Terra (which I'm just starting after a sample).  It literally costs about 1/10 the price.  After that comes some Neutrogina Acne Stress control - I've used the 3-in-1 treatment for a while now, but am changing to the Triple-action toner.  Then I use Beeseline.  That's made by The Natural Beauty Store, and it contains only coconut oil, beeswax and honey.  (I found a recipe online, so after this batch I'm gonna try to just make my own.)  Usually I use this the way the old commercial for Vaseline said to soften dry skin: rub a little into your face, press a steaming washcloth on it gently for around a minute, and pat excess off with a tissue.

I think it also really helps that I've changed from foundation, sometimes with and sometimes without primer, to just Skin79 BB Cream, also for this last couple months.  I really wish I could find a bb primer or something to make it last, since that's my one gripe about it - feel like a regular primer would block it from my skin and defeat the purpose.  But now my skin isn't bad bare, so I just make myself not mind when it's gone by noon.

Don't know how this'll work on the oiliness over the summers, since I started once the heat had mostly stopped for the year, but I'll deal with that when and if it comes up.  It'll probably work great for the winter!

I have a really oily T-zone, so a good toner is a must. I use Celeteque. I tried The Face Shop which is quite expensive but is like water on my face. Celeteque has slightly more alcohol content. It does the job though. My face is oil free for a longer time, and my pores look smaller.

My  skin is combination so some of the products are for combination skin, depending on the day I might change my moisturizer, say if I'm going to go out in the morning I might use one with sunscreen if the foundation I'll use that day doesn't have sunscreen, tho lately I've been using BareMinerals foundation and it does have sunscreen so I skip that, I use a different moisturizer for my neck, cuz I've been trying the ones I get from my subscription boxes and my neck doesn't really have the same problems my face does so I think it just needs moisture and that's it.

Cleanser: Clinique Liquid Facial Soap.

Serum: Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum.

Moisturizer (face): Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Stay-Matte Hydrator, Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing Moisturizer with SPF 30.

Moisturizer (neck): Aveeno Smart Essentials Nighttime Moisture Infusion, C&B Moisturizing Olive oil cream with Dead Sea Minerals( I just got this like a week ago, I love it, it's super light and my skin absorbs it so easily, it's awesome!).

Moisturizer(body): Walgreens Moisture Recovery Lotion.

Toner:Clarifying Lotion 3 from Clinique.

Eyes: Night: Clinique All About Eyes, Morning: Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream.

Most of the time I will remove my eye make up with some olive oil and the rest of the make up goes with the Clinique Cleanser.

Scrubs(face): Philosophy The Micro Delivery Exfoliating Wash, St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub.

Srub(body):  Bath and Body Works Fresh Foaming Body Buff .

Masks: Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque, Freeman masks(different ones).

Retinol based cream once a week at night ofc.

Sorry about the long post!

The BB cream I got is from Missha(Korean brand I think) and they have their own primers for BB cream, I have 2 of them and they work well for me, it feels amazing when you put it on your skin. The one's I've got are The Style Art Designing Pore Silky Boomer and M BB Boomer I love and recommend both. Since they are primers for BB cream I guess they should work with your BB cream /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hope this works for you!
