Do you cleanse, tone and moisturise?

[Cherie]

What's your beauty regime?

If I'm being good .. I cleanse with a rose cream cleanser, tone with rosewater, and moisturise with organic avocado oil. I only do it in the morning. Very very very occasionally, I'lll use a cinnamon scrub or green tea masque.

If I'm being lazy (70% of the time), I don't cleanse, tone, or moisturise

God no! My face gets washed with the rest of me in the shower and if it's feeling tight i moisturise it afterwards. The moisturiser i have i took from my mums spongebag the day after she died. That was over 2 years ago - THAT'S how much i use it LMAO!

I cleanse and moisturise with Cetaphil products, have done so daily since I was about 17 because I had adolescent acne for about 12 months (thank god for Roaccutane!) and I just stuck with it. My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil to me, it's been great for my sensitive skin and it's cheap.

For toner I use Witchhazel.

I do it every day (usually only after my shower though so if that's in the morning, I don't do it again at night - um ma!) and have done for years.

There is a lady around called the cosmetic cop and she had some real interesting facts about cleanser/toners etc. Apparently the only beauty routine you need is to Cleanse & moisturise & of course sunscreen. Cherie, you live in QLD girl, you need that moisturiser & sunscreen the sun is a killer up here!

I only use cleanser, moist, suns.

I religiously cleanse everynight. I wear make up almost everyday and just can't go to bed with makeup on. I very rarely tone, but always moisturise morning and night. I will do a facial scrub a couple of times a year. I would love to go and have a facial done every couple of months but never find the time.

I'm the same as Hoobley only when i shower. I used to do it all the time before i had the kids and used Clinque.

I should really start looking after me more.

I cleanse every day, never tone, and only moisturise when my skin is really dry to the point of peeling - like in winter.

A few months ago I was really good with a skincare regime, which involved different day and night creams, and home microdermabrasion twice a week... but I soon got sick of it and went back to just cleansing.

I can't moisturise my skin most of the time, no matter how light the moisturiser. I have very oily skin (except in dry weather) and the shine is twice as bad if I moisturise...

Cherie,your products sound good enough to eat..

I use proactive products.I've been using it for nearly 2 yrs.I went off the pill to TTC and my skin was so oily and pimply.After I had my girls I couldnt go back on the pill as my BP was still high from having pre-eclampsia so I stuck with it.

I would love to find a really good mask though.I have'nt treated myself to a face mask in ages.

Cherie, you live in QLD girl, you need that moisturiser & sunscreen the sun is a killer up here!

I know!!! I'm very naughty. Probably putting sunscreen on daily would do more for keeping my skin looking nice than any amount of cleansing & moisturising. I used to use the Dove Essential Nutrients moisturise, which contained sunscreen, but it left my face shiny. I don't wear make-up, so I'd like to find a good face sunscreen without the shininess.

I use a cleanser in the shower and moisturise, but never as religiously as I did pre Maria, wheres the time?

[Matryoshka]

I cleanse every day with a natural cleanser and moisturise with calendula cream. I don't tone because it doesn't do anything. I scrub once a week. I haven't done a mask in ages!

I've had a routine ever since I was a teenager, I wash with either a foam or scrub in the shower every morning then toner then moisturise and sunblock(sometimes in the same product). I have to change my brands and products all the time because I tend to develop allergies if I use the same thing too long, same for my shampoo and conditioner. Occasionally I'll use a cream cleanser at night and a night time moisturiser and a mask maybe once a month. I have fair/sensitive skin so I find this all helps.

I use a facial wash (whatever is on special when I am at the shops) & always moiturise, I even get Madduy to moisturise every time after shower or bath... Hopefully she will still look 15 @ my age!!!! she has that gorgeous Olive complexion & I will get Indah to follow suit... As we all tend to have dryish skin!!

[Karina]

I buy whatever facial cleanser is cheap at the time and use it on my face in the shower. I moisturise every day. I hate that tight skin feeling. I dont tone. I dont even know what it is, to be honest.

[Bathsheba]

Umm, my routine sounds like Bec's (Hoobley's)...kinda haphazard... but I have started to use better products ie less chemicals. I've read a bit from the Cosmetic Cop's site... very interesting and turned me off Clinique that I used for years (but I still use their foundation).

I now use MooGoo soap to cleanse, L'Occitane to exfoliate, and MooGoo/L'Occitane to moisturize. I don't tone because i agree with OurLux, it doesn't do anything and most toners are too drying for my skin.

Most importantly my foundation has a sunscreen... this is the thing I focus on the most regarding skincare: avoiding UV.

You have inspired me to put a mask on tonight!! Hee hee - I have a toner/cleanser in one and i wash my face with that in the shower, and I moisturise everyday -my face feels too tight otherwise! I usually use garnier or loreal stuff but probably shouldnt because they all have alcohol in them!

Avocado oil moisturiser sounds divine! I also put Bio-Oil on my c/s scar and stretch marks when I can be bothered and I put whatever is left on my hands on my face-I have a stitches scar on my forehead so I figure it will help fade it even more!

[Coolabahdee]

Nope I'm a soap and water girl,I buy all the U-Buet products, just don't seem to find the time to do it.

What a norty bunch you all are!!! I'll be the BB cosmetic cop then....

Cleanse and moisturise every day , especially in Australian conditions.

Hoobley - throw out that moisturiser! (or stop using it if you can't bear to), it's way too old and probably full of bacteria.

Microdermabrasion twice a week is waaay too much Ambah! No wonder you got sick of doing it. Once a week or fortnight for scrub/mask - and it makes you skin perk right up instantly.
Don't you ladies tell me you can't find 20 mins a week to do a mask! I wait until the kids are in bed myself. FIND THE TIME - mainly cos we are all worth it!!

It can be hard when you are presented with all these skin care "systems" with potions and bottles everywhere. Seriously just keep you face clean - wash it in the shower or whatever and wack on a moistuiser each morning - the winter plays havoc on your skin too!

I have cleansing wipes for nighttime (makeup) as it's more realistic for me, but I also have a face wash for the shower that's very gentle. I moisturise with Vit E or Aloe Vera cream, and I have Vit C capsules to go under the night moisturiser if I remember.
