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?

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.

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
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 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.

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!
