Actually - I started from scratch again in early Feb, pre-pandemic, but am taking the time to go very slowly now - with the added benefit that is costs less if you are not applying every day!&nbsp;</p> <p>I did every 3 days at .020%, and am just working up to every other. Like I said, slow. I had gotten up to daily last year, but then rushed into the next level of .035% with poor results, so I stopped using out of annoyance. It may have been partly to to cold weather, and dry winter skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed/page/2#post-2115810 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 17:02:48 +0000 Anonymous 2115810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My skincare regimen is the same (morning and night: oil cleanser, water based cleanser, toner, chemical exfoliant (BHA), essence, serum, moisturizer, plus a sunscreen for daytime), but I do find that I'm doing sheet masks more on my work from home days. I do full makeup on in-office days, but no makeup on home days - just a sheet mask and extra moisturizing items when at home because... I can! Lots of extra hand cream, and body lotion after a shower and before bed. I'm stressed as it is, so taking care of my skin is an act of self-soothing and care. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115730 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:53:39 +0000 nemosmom 2115730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your comments!&nbsp; I too feel like my skin is lacking moisture - not just my ragged hands, but everywhere.&nbsp; I had a weird flare up of some sort (stress??) last month and finally got that to calm down.&nbsp; My makeup has always been minimal (light concealer, mascara, liner, lippie only when I remember to apply it), but this latest obsession with face washing and moisture feels new.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115720 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 12:05:28 +0000 Bijou 2115720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not changed my hair or make up routines. I have watched a few make up videos and on the weekend tried some of the contouring tricks with my bronzer, but really need a contouring kit as I could not see any difference to my usual make up. We are not wearing masks (only 4 covid cases reported in Australia today and zero in my state), so I am still wearing bright lipstick.</p> <p>My hair is benefitting from lockdown as I have been using a strengthening hair mask on it prior to washing and lots of deep conditioning treatments. I am using hand cream, but it is not making up for all the hand washing and my skin feels dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115653 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 03:16:22 +0000 nuancedream 2115653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I've been WFH, I have switched from wearing foundation and blush to tinted moisturizer and liquid bronzer. With the coming of spring, I have switched out my neutral and brick/copper lip color for a brighter warmer orange/coral shade. I have a pretty effective skincare routine which hasn't changed much and I'm happy with how my skin looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115650 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 03:11:01 +0000 Jaime 2115650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my routines have gotten a bit more complex as I have more time. I started painting my nails! (I think the last time was about 40 years ago). I am bad but my second attempt was an improvement. I am doing my usual skincare with less lazy days. I started trying a lot of lipsticks but then mask wearing made that ridiculous. I am working on getting better with my eyes. I always wear sunscreen and cc cream no matter what. My hair. Well that is a whole new ball game. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115646 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 02:56:33 +0000 Gigi 2115646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My makeup and skin routines are pretty much the same. I always tried to wear a bit of makeup when I would teach piano lessons, and now that they're remote, I actually probably put a little more on because I tend to look washed out on video.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've always been pretty good with my skincare routine, so that remains the same. But I have been trying to do a mask once a week to pamper myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115628 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 00:48:33 +0000 Gretchen 2115628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've completely fallen off the rails. Like Kellygirl, makeup is my war paint. So I'm sticking with my usual wash and moisturize routine, but makeup is only happening if I'm pretty sure I'll be on camera for a zoom. And even then, I'm going for a fast 5 minute face.</p> <p>I did break down this weekend and pull my makeup and jewelry out of my travel kit. I figure it'll be at while before any overnight trips, might as well use up what I have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115591 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 22:00:01 +0000 DonnaF 2115591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eyes have been feeling irritated lately (allergies?) plus I am lazy so I have started to skip the shadow and eye liner. When those go so does the eyebrow pencil. But after nine months of Revitalash’s RevitaBrow, my brows are in pretty good shape. I will probably put on my regular makeup for a ZOOM meeting tomorrow and maybe for a trip to Safeway on Thursday morning. Truth be told, what with my thick glasses I am not sure anyone could see a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115585 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 21:40:40 +0000 Sal 2115585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing less makeup but my skincare is the same.&nbsp; I have been doing the odd face mask as well.&nbsp; I don't like the skincare products that I am currently using but my skin looks okay.</p> <p>I really minimised my makeup about a year ago because I realised that worked best for me.&nbsp; I have run out of one or two in the last month so will replace them and I am thinking of adding a red lipstick and a red lipliner (I only have a soft red lipbalm).&nbsp; Might ask the forum for recommendations!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115583 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 21:38:27 +0000 cindysmith 2115583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I'm still working yet bot happy about it, my makeup has definitely gotten darker. Black eyeliner, dark brown eyeshadows, black mascara. I really liked my job until the coronapocalypse happened, but now I don't like the risks to my health and I don't like having to deal with the public, but I need the income so i keep showing up.</p> <p>My skincare routine has changed in that it actually exists now. I moisturize like nobody's business these days, especially my face. One day out of the blue I put some o'Keefe's body lotion on my face and it was as if the heavens opened up and the angels sang a divine chorus; in that moment, I got it and decided that I was now going to take better care of the skin on my face. I don't sleep in my makeup as much anymore since that epiphany. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115574 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 20:49:39 +0000 The Cat 2115574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No changes.

I do seem to be going through more hand lotion than ever. The rest of my skin is actually less dry than usual, so I guess my home's air quality is better than my workplace and my car!

I think it does make a difference as far as how I look on screen. Nice thing about not wearing makeup, or not much, is that I don't have to take it off.&nbsp;</p> <p>This last week I have forgotten to put on sunscreen though--not a good idea for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do wash my hair as often--every other day normally. I don't care if no one sees me--I don't feel good when my hair gets stringy, which it does more quickly as it gets longer and untrimmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115509 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 16:41:28 +0000 Zaeobi 2115509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually wear makeup anyway except for special occasions, but I'm finding I have more time to prioritise skincare consistently whilst WFH. Another unexpected side effect is that I also find myself experimenting more with my makeup. I take lipstick off before wearing a mask (lesson learned the hard way lol) but I did try eyeshadow the other day (thankfully my webcam is low quality enough to get away with modelling my experiments whilst videoconferencing haha!) </p> <p>This development is probably for the best, since I wear makeup so rarely that my makeup collection is long overdue for an update </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-your-skincaremakeup-regimen-changed#post-2115508 Tue, 21 Apr 2020 16:41:25 +0000 Kyle 2115508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What makeup?!

Because of that my make up is pretty much absent now - sunblock lotion, eyebrow pencil, some loose powder and that's it. Lipgloss is a must until the mask wearing will become a mandatory order .&nbsp; </p>
