Default What's your daily skincare routine?

I wash my face, neck and chest with Dove extra sensitive soap, or St Ives blemish control apricot scrub which I use twice a week.

For toner I use pure teatree oil mixed with water.

I apply a light moisturizer (at the moment I'm using Almay) to my face, neck and chest, and if I've had a shower I do my body with Burt's Bees milk and honey body lotion (smells divine, sinks in quickly and doesn't make me spotty!!).

I then use Estee Lauder Idealist before applying my foundation and make-up

In the evenings I take off my make-up with eye make-up remover wipes and then follow the same routine. After moisturising I dab spots with pure teatree oil (takes forever ). Sometimes I use Burt's Bees Coconut foot creme before bed.

I wash with Panoxyl Foaming Wash then I use Differin in the morning and Duac at night.

I also use Cetaphil Daily Face Moisturizer. I love it because it leaves my skin smooth and silky, not greasy.

At night: I use cetaphil to wash my face. Then I blot dry. I use Dr. Brandt toner. Then I usually apply retin-a. Sometimes as an alternative I will just apply Dr. Brandt pore effect night cream.

Morning: Cetaphil to wash my face. Dr. Brandt toner and Pore effect Moisturizer, followed by Pore minimizer (this stuff really works!).

I just started using Dr. Brandt's line and it's great. I think that sometimes my skin just needs a switch.

For my body I use Oil of Olay body wash and moisturize with a combination of Palmer's cocoa butter and Nivea skin firming lotion all over my body.

I really don't have a fancy skin care routine because I'd end up having break outs. I normally use just a delicate facial soap, and I use moisturizer only when my face is really dry. I sometimes can't understand the condition of my skin. Sometimes I use a moisturizer (Elizabeth Arden) because it's so dry. But when I use it regularly, I would end up with a really shiny face. I regularly remove whiteheads because I seem to have an abundance of it. I also have occasional acne that's really bothersome and I use an acne lotion prescribed by my dermatologist.
