I've found that products with vitamin c in work best for my skin so I exfoliate a couple of times a week and apply moisturiser twice a day. I also use charcoal soap on a morning to wake me up and am a fan of face-masks as an occasional treat
Make-up wise I keep it simple and might apply blusher if I'm looking pale but otherwise I don't venture beyond a bit of lipstick and eyeliner/mascara if I'm off out out.
Does anyone have a routine they stick to everyday for their skin or makeup? What works best for your skin? Have you any recommendations that could help others?

Hi believe it or not I dont really do anything I have never used creams or moisturisers just a couple of face masks but years ago
I just user lain water on my face, but after a bath I do like to use a nice scented body lotion
Im not big on make up and only wear it if going out on a special occasion. When I was younger I did wear it but again not in the day or for work but just for going out. I like to feel different when going out makes it more special. -
Blimey @janer1967 have you ever had acne or are you blessed with good skin? That's a nice minimalistic routine you have going on

@Cher_Scope No never had acne or any skin condition, maybe its the products that cause the problems I have only really ever used water, sometimes a mild soap
Im afraid it was all down to me liking my bed too much would rather have an extra 30 mins in bed than do a full make up routine -
I am not sure if products really do anything as I do nothing except wash and shave once a day and a couple of people have commented without prompting that I have really good skin but I don’t know if they were just being polite!

I love the Body Shop for skin care, I mainly use their vitamin E and tea tree ranges. I have acne which doesn't want to budge!
However, I do a face wash and moisturiser morning and night, and a face mask about once a week. I have a charcoal face scrub which is great when my skin is playing up.

I'm beautiful as it is...
I exfoliate in the morning and evening, that's about it for the moment. I used to use moisturiser on my face because I can get dry skin occasionally, but that caused other skin issues, so for the moment my exfoliation wipes are doing the trick for me.Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?

I get bad skin but it's all hormonal, so there's only so much I can do with skincare products! I like the Boots tea tree range (other brands are available...), but I keep it down to a simple routine of face wash, moisturiser, and a night treatment gel.

I used to use Clearasil every day as a teenager for acne...not entirely sure it did anything though, didn't notice any difference once I stopped. Poor diet and excessive face washing probably wasn't helping lol.
I don't use anything specific on my face now...but have been tempted to start again. In the colder weather I find the skin around my mouth gets really dry (yes, partly from excessive washing!) and cracks open when trying to eat or yawn etc. It's really quite painful despite seeming insignificant. I've thought about some sort of daily moisturiser but don't know how effective it would be against over-washing...any suggestions?
I also get through tonnes of aqueous cream for my hands. They've been ruined by years of excessive washing as well lol, fortunately Aqueous is cheap! -

Like @janer1967 I've never used creams on my face and use plain water. Must be working as people think I look younger.
