I'm a committed CeraVe user -- facial wash, nighttime moisturizer, facial serum. In the morning I wash with Spectro Gel. CeraVe moisturizer with sunscreen. Sometimes a bit of BB cream if I remember. Brown eyeliner. No mascara -- gets on my glasses. PLUS, I've been having issues with eyes watering. Even waterproof mascara won't hold up to that! Neutral lipstick or lipgloss -- still looking for a new go-to since Smashbox Charmed was discontinued, so i use whatever I'm experimenting with at the time. I feel that as I get older, I look better with less makeup.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-beauty-routine#post-2099485 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 15:59:17 +0000 nemosmom 2099485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>My routine is very simple, and the only difference between winter and summer is the type of spf I use (sport/waterproof strength in summer), and the frequency of retinol (every <u>other</u> night in winter).</div><div><br /></div><div>Morning: Face wash with clairsonic and Aveeno foaming face wash, moisturize with Cerave lotion.&nbsp; SPF Thinkbaby (winter); currently shopping for a summer one.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Makeup: Concealer (Boots No7), blush (Nars Deep Throat), mascara (Maybelline Full &amp; Soft waterproof), eyeliner (Lisa Watier waterproof pencil), Clinique chubby in Richer Raisin or Fuller Fig; Mac Persistence or Chili, if I want a bolder look.</div><div><br /></div><div>Night: remove eye makeup with coconut oil, wash with Aveeno foaming wash (no clairsonic), mix cerave lotion with generic RetinA (.5% cream) and apply 15-20 minutes after I wash.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-beauty-routine#post-2099483 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 15:47:59 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2099483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Morning:<br />Cerave hydrating cleanser<br />Good Molecules niacinamide toner<br />Mizon Ultra Suboon cream if I need a moisturizer under my sunscreen or I'm not going outside for a while<br />Sunscreens: Missha all around safe block essence sun on face for everyday under makeup, Blue Lizard sensitive if I'm going outside in the wind for a long time; for body: Eucerin daily hydration with SPF 15 or Walgreens sensitive skin SPF 50<br />Makeup really varies/doesn't happen depending on what I'm up to and products I'm playing with so I won't list that.</p> <p>Evening:&nbsp;<br />Good Molecules cleansing balm<br />Cerave hydrating cleanser<br />Peter Thomas Roth unwrinkle turbo toner<br />Right now I'm alternating the Olay Regenerist microsculpting cream and the Olay Retinol 24 moisturizer. Sometimes I'll put on No 7 line correcting serum on my forehead. If my skin's feeling sensitive, I'll use Eucerin Redness Relief moisturizer instead or on top of the above.&nbsp;</p> <p>Once a week or so, I'll use a gentle chemical exfoliant and/or a sheet mask (My Beauty Diary bird's nest) followed by a facial oil, but those are my everyday go-tos.</p> <p>I'm so bad about putting on body lotion after a shower or at night, especially in the winter. I just find it tedious and I get cold. I've tried in-shower lotions but have been underwhelmed. I try to use Neutrogena body oil after my showers and Gold Bond hand cream right before bed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-beauty-routine#post-2099480 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 15:21:54 +0000 Carla 2099480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The difference between summer and winter is the volume of moisturizer I go through! &nbsp;My routine is affected by the fact that I shower at the gym after I work out, and this is 3-5 x a week.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>Morning: Wash face using a face cloth and water. &nbsp;Apply a little Cereve moisturizer</p> <p>Post workout: shower using gym provided body wash from dispenser, but St. Ives gentle apricot scrub for face, neck and décolletage. &nbsp;Cereve moisturizer on face, neck, décolletage and an Aveno product (they come in big tubes that don’t spill in kit bags) for body. &nbsp;</p> <p>Before bed: Johnson’s Baby Oil to remove make-up, Cereve face wash and a prescription cream (Rosiver) for Rosecea that I’ve been using for just over a year that has changed my life! &nbsp;</p> <p>Make-up: I&nbsp;dab a teensy-tiny bit of Aveno Baby Sunscreen SPF 50 for Sensitive Skin on my face and blend like crazy. &nbsp;It is a mineral based product, and the slight white caste works as a perfect foundation/concealer. &nbsp;(This is my pale skinned red-head make-up hack!). I have my (transparent) lashes and brows tinted every 6 weeks, but use a brow pencil to fill in and elongate the brow line. &nbsp;Maybeline Great Lash mascara on upper lashes only. &nbsp;A slick of Clinique Chubby Stick lippy. &nbsp;</p> <p> </div><div><br /></div><div>FWIW, I used to have a more varied routine, and lots more products, but &nbsp;when we relocated in 2014 I packed a HUGE box full of stockpiled products - mostly moisturizers. &nbsp;(Gotta love pharmacy discount days!). I decided to run down my collection, and simplify my routine. It took <b>3&nbsp;</b><b>YEARS&nbsp;</b>to work my way through the stash. &nbsp;YLF put me on to Cerave products, and my derm approves, so I’m not looking for anything new or improved ATM!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-beauty-routine#post-2099459 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 13:28:30 +0000 kkards 2099459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the best thing i did for my winter skincare was get a facial...its been about 8 weeks, but my skin still looks brighter and l've got less flaking...also added a chemical exfoliate, something i've never used before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-beauty-routine#post-2099451 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 11:31:08 +0000 Synne 2099451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is quite a refined and comprehensive beauty routine. Simple may be a relative term (No wonder you look so beautiful!). </p> <p>For the last couple of years my winter routine (or tbh all year) has been extremely ascetic. I slather my face in organic hemp oil after each shower. It's what works best for my slightly acne prone, yet dry, skin.</p> <p>I apply some make-up everyday, undereye concealer, mascara, blush and brow tint. Have started experimenting with creamy eyeshadows, just a hint of neutral shimmer. </p> <p>I have also started to use root concealer on my hair the last year... think I want to transition to blonde/highlights to conceal the graying, and make it more low-maintenance for me.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-beauty-routine#post-2099449 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 10:58:12 +0000 notsaf 2099449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As with my winter workhorses post yesterday, I thought I might just drop in to document what skincare and beauty products I've been using this winter as a note-to-self and perhaps to encourage you to do the same.</p> <p>What's worked for you this season?</p> <p>My beauty routine is really simple and consistent: despite the long list below, I really spend no more than 5 minutes on makeup! I have sensitive skin and am prone to rosacea, so gentle products and neutral tones are key for me.</p> <p>Daytime: <ol> <li>Serum: Antipodes Apostle</li> <li>Moisture: Ren Everclam Day Cream</li> <li>*Primer: B Priming Souffle</li> <li>Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix in 54 Beige</li> <li>Concealer:&nbsp;RMS Beauty "Un"Coverup in 22 (around nose) and&nbsp;Clinique Beyond Perfecting Concealer in 15 Medium (anywhere else)</li> <li>Undereye Highlighter:&nbsp;YSL Touche Éclat in 2</li> <li>Mascara: La Roche-Posay Toleraine Volume in Black</li> <li>Eyeliner: Kay Von Dee Tatoo Liner in Trooper Black</li> <li>Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown</li> <li>Lips: Sugar Advanced Therapy (with *Bite&nbsp;Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Pepper)</li> <li>*Cheeks: Gosh Lumi Drops in 4 Peach</li> <li>Finishing Powder: Bourjois Healthy Mix in 1 Vanilla (T zone only)</li> </ol> *Only for special occasions</p> <p>Nighttime: <ol> <li>Wash: The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser</li> <li>Moisture: Ren Everclam Day Cream</li> <li>Eye Cream: Clinique All About Eyes</li> </ol> Notes to self: <ul> <li>I'm not 100% happy with the mascara and powder, so will be looking for alternatives when these run out.</li> <li>I'd love to get my everyday list below 10 products, but for now this is what works for me. </li> <li>Finally, as a woman in my late 30's, I&nbsp;realize I should probably be upping my overnight moisture game: <i><u></u></i><b>any recommendations?</b><i></i></li> </ul> On a related note, over the course of the next year my hope is to transition away from straightening and coloring my hair -- that will be a big challenge, so keep your fingers crossed for me!</p> <p>(PS: I don't recommend buying beauty products through Amazon, but it was an easy way to create Finds!) </p>
