Your Beauty Routine

[Gleam]

My routine is super simple compared to most here.

AM:
No cleanser. Just water on the face, then currently Shiseido Benefiance SPF 15 cream. I switch day creams often... the last one I used was Origins A Perfect World SPF 15.

PM:
REN Milk Cleanser. Great for dry skin. Then REN Frankincense Night Cream. I used to also use a Serum since as Origins Plantscription but after a few bottles I really wasn't sure it was adding anything to my routine.

When I break out, I use Origins Charcoal Clear Improvement mask. Also, if you leave it on overnight on blemishes, they are drastically reduced by the time you wake up.

I also use a Boscia facial scrub once or twice a week. I personally think that one facial scrub is pretty much as good as another, though, as long as the granules aren't harsh (like ground apricot seeds).

Updated routine...

Morning- wash with lukewarm water; apply Eucerin SPF 30 Sunscreen for faces; a few days a week I use Kate Somerville Total Vitamin Serum made with vitamin C.

Evening- if I am wearing more makeup, I remove it with MAC Tranquil Cleanse Off Oil; wash face with Cerave Cleanser; alternating nights, I use either Neutrogena Healthy Skin Night Cream with Retinol, or Argan Oil. I also have regular moisturizer available if I just want something simple under makeup with no sunscreen. I use Laura Mercier Flawless Skin right now.

Both morning and night, I always use eye cream, but change brands a lot.

I don´t like to put too much stuff in my skin, I believe in drinking lot´s of water and eating healthy, that if something keeps skin looking good and hair healthy looking.
I try to be as ecological as I can and try to pick products that have not been tested with animals.

BODY AND FACE

Bodylotion that I bought from pharmacy, cannot remember the name of it but it is not animal tested. I put that also in my face.

The Body Shop Hemp hand creame.

The Body Shop Born Lippy lipbalm.

I usually just put lipbalm and mascara from Lumene as make-up.
Sometimes Double Saty foundation and Double Stay powder for Lumene.

I usually wash my face just with water but sometimes I put some Matt Touch gel from Lumene.

I wash my body putting little that bodylotion from pharmacy and mix it with water.

I rarely wear any fragrance but if I put something on it is Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb.

HAIR

I was my hair with TIGI products.
Eco Awsome shampo and moisturizer.
Totally Beachin body and wave styling mist.
I just wash my hair and leave it dry naturally.

I very, very, very rarely us hairspray. I hate hairpsray but if I use it is from TIGI.

I hate owning too many bottles this and that.
Less I own, happier I am.

Tigi is not cruelty free, I have emailed them myself; in fact, their animal testing policy is quite iffy. There are much better brands with that are certified cruelty free if animal welfare is a priority for you. De Lorenzo is very good.

Body
-hair: I wash 3x per weak since I have dry hair. Upon washing my hair I usually apply Argan/moroccan oil onto damp hair. This moisturizes my dry hair and makes it soft! I use Yes! to Carrots or Yes! to Cucumber shampoo/conditioner since it doesnt contain those chemically sulfates that dries my hair like crazy. I never brush when my hair when it's damp since it's most fragile at this point. So I gently hand comb and always air dry.
-body: I use Yes! to cucumbers shower gel or philosophy birthday girl w/ this krn body towel. I usually moisturize w/ St. Ives Intensive healing Skin Rescue Lotion. I used to use Kiehl's creme des crops but it never rly worked out for me..
-hands: I use Cake Beauty It's a Slice Velveteen Hand Creme (smells AMAZING)

i have stopped with TIGI products looong time ago.

I wish it wasn't so hard to find good cruelty-free products! I used to like Tigi products before I got into cruelty-free

Whaat, Tigi tests on animals? This was a real wake up call for me, see I got into cruelty free cosmetics since I first got interested in make up and stuff, like 15 years ago (I am 27 now). Back then I got all the lists etc for brands not using animal testing. Years went by and as I followed the situation I noticed very rare brands test on animals anymore, at least the whole end product, since the awareness rose so quickly. I have used pretty steadily certain labels, so I haven`t been even thinking about this anymore while shopping, and I got to say: SHAME ON ME!!!

Now that I `ve changed the products I use, I am not sure at all they are not tested on animals. Either way, even the brands who promise to to be cruelty free, can`t swear that some of the ingredients are which they buy from elsewhere.

But my routine is now, cruelty or not:

Morning: Elizabeth Arden 3 in 1 wash (cleaner, exfoliator, primer), EA Intervene Radiance Boosting Moisture Cream, occasionally Timefighting Radiance Serum or L`Oreal Dermagenesis Pore Minimazing Serum, Elizabeth Arden Good Morning Eye Treatment

Evening: Biotherm Aquasource cleansing milk, if needed 3 in 1 wash in addition, one of the serums mentioned above, EA Intervene Stress Recovery Night Cream and Good Morning Eye Treatment.
