Fall make up and skin care..does it change ?

I was rather lazy over the Summer with skin care. I washed and used sunblock..but that was about it.

Now that Fall in here, it is time to get back in the game mostly because I can already feel my skin getting drier. There are so many products out there that it overwhelms me. But I am going to continue what I started after reading Angie's series on skincare over the Winter.

This is what I will go back to starting today :

AM
20% Vitamin C in the morning
Sunblock
Garnier roller on eyes
Olay moisturizer total effects, tinted ( I started this in August and I LOVE it )
Switch to cream blush
Correcting concealer cream
Eye Brightening in cream

Clarisonic
ROC retinol treatment
ROC retinol for eyes
Olay regular moisturizer
About to add Ambi fade cream to a couple of dark spots ( have never tried it but Allure picked it as a top product for several years.

I do all the same skin stuff for the back of my hands, neck, and chest

What about you ? What have you been doing, will you change for Fall ?

Is anyone having success with BB creams ?
( I wish that there were fewer steps ! Are BB creams the answer ?
)

What about make up ? I switch to creams and wear a greige nail polish.

I'm using now the L'oreal BB cream (this one):

and love!
But even with the bbcream you should continue to use the vitam c and eye cream.

My skin verges on being greasy so no real change in moisturising for my skin. My lips and hands chap very easily so I'm making sure I wear lip balm topped with Vaseline when I go out and it's cold or windy and using a super moisturising hand wash, wearing gloves when I go out and using a heavy duty hand cream and cotton gloves at night. The only makeup change is to switch from bronzer to blusher. I also switch my perfume from summery CKOne to heavier Versace Red Jeans x

I'm in the midst of perioral acne for most of this year - sigh. So I am again using the derm's samples I got at a visit a few months back. I switched to Aveeno's tinted moisturizer when my Olay Definity one got discontinued. I'm wondering about the difference between BB creams and tinted moisturizers?

Hmm, I don't need to change anything yet, except that I have been adding eyeliner back in more frequently. I like a lighter look for summer. For winter as a rule, I use moisturizer more often. In summer sometimes I just need a serum. At the moment I am using products from Caudilie because they don't contain any preservatives that concern me during my pregnancy and cleared up my hormone-induced acne. I should use sunblock on my hands because I see they are aging faster than the rest of my skin, but so far I don't do it. Maybe I need Michael Jackson gloves.

I go a little lighter on the moisturizer in the summer, and heavier on the sunblock. That's really the only difference.

I'm not married to any specific product. I find that most mild creams work just fine as a moisturizer. I've tried a number of anti-aging creams and none of them really do anything besides put a dent in my pocketbook. I've used sunscreen for years, though, because I can see the effects of sun protection on the parts of my body that are not ordinarily exposed -- they are smooth, white, and line-free. So it makes sense to me to use a moisturizer with SPF in it.

The one thing that really does make my facial skin look younger and fresher? More sleep.

Getting exercise and plenty of vegetables doesn't hurt, either.

I usually change to a heavier moisturizer and as my skin lightens from not being in the sun, I change my dinted moistuerizer and foundation to a ligher color. I have samples several BB creams but have not found one I like. I have been using Benefit's You Rebel for the past year and really like it. It has an SPF in it so when I do not use foundation I use it. A few months ago Benefit came out with a new foundation with an SPF and I really love it so I will get a lighter color in a few months.

I will probably being using more moisterizer with SPF as the weather gets drier plus eye cream. No other changes although I would like to use ROC retinol treatment for wrinkles around eyes. Does this stuff work? I've heard good things about it.

I havent changed, but I NEED to! My skin has gotten desert-dry in the last yr (I'll be 52 later this month) Even my nails are parched

I buy my mosturizers at the chemist because I have really sensitive skin with redness, and she recommended me a lighter one by Bioderma for the summer. It's worked wonders but I'm not sure it will be enough for the winter, so I might look for another one of the same brand...

I'm lucky enough that I'm still young and my skin is not prone to wrinkle (one of the few good things of having thick, hard skin).

I am not changing my skin care routine and
I usually do the same skin care routine I had done during summer. I wash my
face, moisturize and protect it by using sunscreen. The only difference in my
skin care routine now is I use lower SPF than I used during summer.

Same routine year round. I have rosacea so I use some prescription products.

Night and day:
Wash face using Neutrogena face wipe, Eucerin redness relief, or Cetaphil
Apply whatever prescription ointment/lotion is called for
Apply Cerave moisturizer with SPF day, without at night

Day:
Mineral makeup base (touch up lightly with Jane Iredale/Bare Minerals combo)
Eyeliner
Mascara (Jane Iredale)
Blush/bronzer if needed
Lip gloss

(All other makeup is from Elea Blake)

I use Yu-Be Skin Care's moisturizing skin cream. It's the only thing I've found that keeps my skin evenly smooth and soft in the summer when it's oily and in the fall/winter when it's dry.
