What skin care did you use today?

[Belowen]

Michyed, if you're wanting a good gel cleanser I would definitely suggest Dermalogica's Special Cleansing Gel

dermalogica precleanse
dermalogica special cleansing gel
md skincare alpha/beta daily face peel
jurlique rosewater balancing mist
trilogy organic rosehip oil
dermalogica total eye care

 

[michyed]

^ Dermalogica sounds very promising. Is the gel a bit drying for you though? I'm reading the reviews too, most of them are very promising, I'm just worried because a few people have said that it gets drying. Ohh, and yay, they sell it here!

Mario Badescu Aloe Vera Toner
Neostrata Ultra Smoothing Lotion AHA 10
Mario Badescu Olive Eye Cream

Last night it was...

Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Fresh
Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner
Neostrata Ultra Smoothing Lotion AHA 10 (This is kind of making my skin purge again, oh no. The bf comes back tommo and I don't want him to see me like this )
Nuxe Creme Fraiche
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse all over my body, I'm still all moisturized in the morning
Mario Badescu Olive Eye Cream

 

[Belowen]

Michyed: I have combo/oily skin and live in a warm climate and the cleanser isn't drying at all on my skin. Ida, maybe it dried you out because of the climate?

Sav: I use the rosewater as a toner. It soothes my skin, and seems to balance everything before I add my moisturiser. I love it, and it smells beautiful.

It dries a lot of people out. It even dries me out in the summer as well But you can buy a travel size bottle if you just want to try it out

I looked at the ingredients list of the Jurlique rosewater, and there's alcohol in it. I don't see why one can't use ordinary rosewater as a toner instead? I do that, and it works out fine. And it's $3 pr 250 ml I just add a tiny bit of lemon juice. It works fine, really, and it smells nice as well!

Just my basic routine...

Last night:
Clairins night cream
Clairins eye contour balm

Today:
Clairins day cream for normal skin
Clairins eye contour balm

I feel a little dried out again now in the afternood. I think I will slap on a bit of Biotherm Aquasource...always like that. As the Clairins day cream is coming to an end I should perhaps get the for dry skin with winter and all

I have used regular rosewater in the past, but it's hard to find a good pharmacy here that will mix it properly to the way that I like it.

It is pretty hard getting the toner the way you like it. I found out that I needed to add some Nuxe oil, simply because it wasn't moisturizing enough. It worked out fine in the end (after 3 attempts ), I just have to remember to shake the bottle beforehand

Last night:
Bioderma Crealine H2O cleanser
La Roche-Posay Effaclar astringent lotion
Rosewater toner
Embryolisse Lait Creme-Concentre

Today:
Rosewater toner

I just can't bring myself to use toners. I have pretty good/easy going skin and whenever I use toners I get these flare ups of bright pink on a certain spot on my cheek. I just stay away from that ever since. Also, something else that does not work for me is Shiseido. Whatever I try, it just does not work....

Every skin has it's preferences I guess

 

[michyed]

^Maybe what you need is a gentle, non-alcoholic toner with barely any ingredients... I am talking of course, about Mario Badescu toners
