It was inevitable that after I published the Grading my friends’ skincare routine entry that my other buddies also wished to have their routines reviewed.  I also had a visitor asked me in the comments to evaluation her skincare – which is extremely trusting of her! below are their self-reported skincare routines.  My comments are in [italics].  Brace yourself, this is a wordy entry.  Again, according to my previous post’s disclaimer: I’m not a dermatologist or trained esthetician, I just play one online.

M’s Skin type: virtually ideal in every way… okay, okay, I guess dry / combination

M’s Skincare routine
Morgon:
Cleanser: No method jose!
Toner: Yes, I just can’t get enough… Winter: Micellar water (right now Vichy but I choose the Yves Rocher Detoxifying Tea) Summer: best now trying to utilize up Clarins but choose Yves Rocher’s micellar water or the Perfecting Toning lotion from the exact same line… so refreshing!)
Serum: Paula’s choice (PC) withstand daily smoothing treatment (5% AHA) + PC withstand very Antioxidant Concentrate serum
Moisturizer: currently utilizing up: Silk’n deal with Dead Sea Mineral cream but choose Olay mature therapy (would like to find an alternative with less/more pleasing scent)
Sunscreen: BB cream (Dr. Jart premium BB SPF 45 in winter season & Guerlain lingerie de Peau SPF30 in summer) when staying out of the sun; If entering possible sun exposure, then anything Clarins/Shiseido SPF 50 & up!

Kväll:
Makeup Remover: yes! Whatever double sample I have on the opt for eye makeup & then much more makeup cleaner (using up Vasanti but choose micellar water from Yves Rocher)
Cleanser: Oils like Boscia, Origins
Toner: Definitely! much more Vichy / Yves Rocher
Moisturizer: trying to find a wetness overnight mask but all of them have as well much fragrance which keeps me from drifting off to sleep
Eye cream: Nope (okay in some cases I utilize the Bobbin brown one :P)
Serum: PC withstand retinol serum

Others (weekly treatments):
PC regular resurfacing treatment (10% AHA)
I switch out the 5% AHA to 2% BHA lotion the week before my period to decrease the possibility of acne
Vasanti scrub when my nose is feeling flaky
Sheet masks whenever I can (& especially after airplane travel)
I utilized to truly like treating myself to Lush’s cupcake masks during the summertime but haven’t in a long time…

My assessment:  A
M’s skincare routine is similar to mine so of course I’d give her a good grade!  And I can assure you all that her skin is lovely.

I do concern why an eye cream isn’t consistently incorporated into your routine?  Do you just utilize your deal with cream as eye cream (which is completely fine as well of course, if it’s adequate enough). as for a suggestion for a non-scented daytime deal with cream (yes, I agree, the Olay stuff is as well heavily fragranced!) for your skin type, here are a few options:
• Olay does offer a few of their line in fragrance-free formats, including overall impacts 7x visible Anti-Aging Moisturizing complex and Total impacts 7-in-1 moisturizer + treatment Duo fragrance Free, and Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream
• Clinique wetness surge intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator
• Consonant Skincare Ultra Moisturizing organic deal with cream or the dry Skin version (they’re truly good at providing samples to try)
• indeed to Carrots fragrance complimentary daily moisturizer SPF 15

As for a less aromatic night cream / overnight sleeping masks, here are some suggestions:
• Clinique wetness surge Overnight Mask
• first aid appeal Facial glow Overnight Mask
• Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque (at least get a sample to test out)

[My friend P sent a extremely in-depth skincare listing and explained that her main skin worry are dry patches and enlarged pores in her t-zone area.] “Both have been diminished considerably because I started to take care of my skin with the following: (funny enough, before this, I utilized anything and everything under the sunlight to pat on my skin lol).”

P’s Skincare routine
Cleansing: double cleansing, because I don’t wear cosmetics (i.e. mascara and eyeliners) I don’t utilize any cosmetics cleaner prior to the oil cleansing step. On the day I wear make-up, I just utilize the sample size Lancome Bi-Facil to eliminate mascara first . My cleansing oil is The deal with shop Deep Firming Cleansing Oil. it’s okay, I plan to change it, I have just a small bit left. What ought to I use? For foaming cleanser, I utilize Cerave, nearly finish my first bottle.
Toner: I utilize St Ives deal with vehicles Pads, exfoliating Pads with moderate AHA interchargeable with the mist you provided me from Reviva Labs Facial Spray Rosewater.
Treatment: I just started introducing 5% AHA Paula choice twice a week. I do have a question: if I utilize this, ought to I avoid the toner step? because in the St Ives pads there’s already some natural fruit extract for exfoliating. if not, what ought to I use? After the AHA, I wait 2 mins and then put on BHA Paula Choice, and wait on 30 mins before next step
Balancing water: Hada Labo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid lotion Moist
Serum: I tried the Benton Snail Bee High content Essence interchargeable with the Estee Lauder advanced night repair work healing Complex. nothing wow here. I plan to follow your footstep when these two bottles are finished.
Oil/Moisturizer: I utilize pure argan oil from Divine Essence at the health food store (much less expensive than other brands at Sephora or online) or the exact same line Benton Snail Bee High content heavy steam Cream. I am okay with both, though nothing as amazing. I think I will continue with the argan oil, but requirement a moisturizer, what do you believe about the very high-end brand Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream?
Masks/treatment: when a week, on lazy Sunday I would do a small facial, and finish off with a Korean moisturizer mask sheet, any brand would do. any reco? in some cases I would do a deep exfoliating by Skin Food Black Sugar Mask laundry off, or Origins remove improvement Charcoal Mask. Really, anything, I want to experiment.

[P so kindly summarized it in a chart style (nerd alert, can you tell that she works in Finance?!). She compared what she utilized to utilize and her new revised skincare routine:]

My assessment:  A-
I do have to state that I feel as though I had a hand in molding P’s skincare routine!  A gap I see is: no cleansing in the mornings.  I understand you don’t wear a great deal of makeup but I still believe something like a micellar water or a non-foaming cleanser would be a good skin prep step to rid of sebum build-up and residue skincare from the evening.  I suggest the Yves Rocher micellar water or Spectro Cleanser for combination skin.  You requested another type of cleansing oil to try at night – I truly enjoyed Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil which is rather inexpensive.  Regarding the concern about whether to utilize Paula’s choice AHA with the St Ives exfoliating pads – on the nights you utilize PC AHA, avoid the pads and just utilize the Reviva Labs facial spray.

I understand P is really into Asian skincare and pH level is critical to her (I’m guessing you’ve been reading the reddit Asian appeal subforum, thus the slew of Benton products!).  I believe there are diminishing returns on ultra high-end brands like Sulwhasoo. any single skincare product that costs $200+ isn’t going to give you twice, or 4 times as good result as something in the $100 to $50 cost range.  The essential components in the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing cream – aside from panax ginseng root extract – are: glycerin, squalane, and glycol.  These basic components can be found in many, much less expensive moisturizers.  And, I’m just not persuaded of the skincare benefits of panax ginseng root extract as a topical treatment – there may be some anti-oxidant properties, but not enough to validate the cost tag.

All that said, for an evening deal with cream, I would suggest to try these which have been lauded online:
• HADA LABO Goku-Juyn Moisturizing Cream
• Tosowoong Snail natural Pure Cream
• Dr.Jart Ceramidin Cream
If you’re still curious about trying something with ginseng, give Ole Henriksen reality Crème advanced Hydration a try.

I’m no authority on sheet masks – I primarily utilize ones with hyaluronic acid and they all tend to moisturize and plump my skin – I focus much more on how much serum is in the bundle and if the mask shape fits my deal with well.  I discussed in my sheet mask publish that I truly like the My Melody ones I got from sasa because they’re 3D masks that in shape my deal with snugly.  I’ve also heard truly good things about Leaders Insolution sheet masks.

[And lastly, a reader, Amalia, sent me her skincare routine to review. Amalia lives in Indonesia so I hope that the products I suggest are available locally. I will try my finest to possibly suggest general product types rather than particular brands.  Her routine as explained in her own words below]

Note>> (1) I have combination skin – oilier forehead and nose with routine break outs. I have new zits appearing on my deal with gradually in pre, during, and publish period. (2) I experienced even worse breakouts (like, 5-6 zits appearing in a day) when utilizing products particularly produced oily skin, like Biotherm Purefect variety and Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-free and Blue Herbal range, so now I tend them. Proactiv has also made my deal with slicker. (3) I online in Indonesia, where the weather condition is mainly damp and temperature can reach 30゜C during the day.

Morgonrutin
Wash >> Juara Skincare Rice Facial Cleanser
Tone >> Clarins White plus tightening Brightening lotion (this acts as the cleansing toner for me) and Juara Skincare Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner (this acts as my day moisturizer, as it is truly hydrating)
Others >> Kiehl’s Blemish manage daily Skin-Clearing treatment and The Body shop VitaMin e ögonkräm
Solskyddsmedel >> Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40

Kvällsrutin
Gör upp renare >> BioDerma Sebium (används så snart jag kom hem)
Tvätta >> exakt samma som morgon
Toner >> exakt samma som morgon
Andra >> exakt samma som morgon
Fuktkräm >> Clarins Hydraquench Cream-gel (ja jag använder aknebehandlingar och ögonkräm före fuktkräm .. Tror du det är rätt?)

Min bedömning: B +
Du använder rätt produkter för din hudtyp, vilket är fantastiskt. Tack för att jag introducerar mig till Juara hudvård – deras sort ser ganska bra ut! Jag tror att BioDerma Sebium Cleanser på kvällen kanske inte räcker för att städa av din solskydd och sebum från dagen. Jag är en stor förespråkare för oljekretsning för oljiga hudtyper. Har du någonsin provat oljekrenare? Några att försöka är kroppsbutiken Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil, DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, och L’Occitane Shea Cleansing Oil – Ingen av dessa innehåller mineralolja bara om du är känslig för det.

Ja, aknebehandling borde utnyttjas före fuktkräm för att säkerställa att den kan vara i direkt kontakt med den påverkade huden. Låt aknebehandlingen torka och absorbera i huden i ca 5 minuter innan du applicerar något annat på toppen. Det finns ingen uppsättning riktlinje om ögonkräm – jag tillämpar det i allmänhet efter min affär med fuktkräm men det borde vara bra innan. Den allmänna riktlinjen är: tunnare, mycket mer fluidprodukter först: toner / lotion, serum, geler – och sedan tjockare mycket mer mjukare produkter på toppen för att försegla allt i. Sunscreen fortsätter sist när det gäller hudvård.

Du noterade att morgontonern hydratiserar nog som din fuktkräm – jag tror att det fortfarande skulle vara fördelaktigt att ha ett serum eller en lätt fuktkräm som fungerar som ett hinder / skyddsmedel mellan din hud och din solskyddsmedel / smink. Jag skulle föreslå något lätt men inklusive hyaluronsyra – eventuellt något som Derma E hydrerande serum med hyaluronsyra.

Clarins solskyddsmedel du använder bara innehåller titandioxid (TiO2) som den aktiva solskyddsmedel som inte erbjuder tillräcklig täckning av UVA-strålar (det här är de långsiktiga skadliga strålarna som främjar åldrande). Zinkoxid (ZnO) Den allra bästa mineralens suncreen-ingrediens, och helst, en solskyddsmedel borde bestå av både TiO2 och ZnO för maximal effektivitet. ZnO har den extra fördelen av hudläkningsegenskaper (det är den viktigaste ingrediensen i blöja utslagsalva!). Eftersom du är online i ett tropiskt klimat rekommenderas en solskyddsmedel med en SPF på minst 40. Här är några val som består av både TiO2 och ZnO och är lämpliga för ansiktet: La Roche-posay Anthelios SPF 50 Mineral, Avene Mineral Ulta-Light Hydrating Sunscreen Deal med SPF 50+ och Skinceuticals Heer Physical UV Defense SPF 50.

Du kan vara allergisk mot någonting i de produkter som bröt ut dig; Vanliga hudvårdskomponenter som är irriterande ämnen inkluderar: alkohol, mentol, natriumlaurylsulfat, eteriska oljor som orange olja, etc. Fragrance kan också vara en stor irriterande. Var noga med att kolla ut etiketter (här är en användbar webbplats) och gör en elimineringsprocess – eliminera ett objekt varje gång för att isolera den skyldige. I exakt samma ven, försök bara en ny produkt varje gång i köp för att minska risken för en reaktion, så om en reaktion inträffar, förstår du omedelbart vad som utlöser det.

Jag tror inte att Clarins Hydraquench Cream-Gel gör din hud några gynnar, dess andra ingrediens är alkohol. Dessutom är doft ganska högt på ingredienslistan, och från erfarenhet, finner jag att Clarins produkter är alltför doftande. Mitt förslag till dig är att hitta något lättvikt utan alkohol, och om möjligt, något utan doft – leta efter produkter med dessa ingredienser: glycerin, natriumhyaluronat (hyaluronsyra), glykol, squalan och vitamin E. en att försöka är murad hud Perfekt lotion.

Jag hoppas det här hjälper!
