In the mornings and at night, I use Proactiv to keep my skin tone even and keep breakouts out of the picture. I also use Clinique T-zone gel every day after using the Proactiv. Every other day I use St. Ives Apricot scrub... I use it more often then recommended because I get flakey otherwise... and sometimes I'll use Clearasil cleansing cloths... probably once or twice a week. Once a week I'll do a facial and I use my facial spa thing every few months. If I get dry for whatever reason, I use Clinique moisturizer, but that rarely happens.

Compared to Blue-eyedBelle... mine sounds pretty simple! :)

LOL! It looks a lot more complicated than it is - most of the days & evenings are alike except for a product or two. But since I'm often thought to be 10 years younger than my chronological age, I think I'll stick with my regimen! :D

Until this week, (when I purchased a new skincare line to try) my skincare regime has been:

Mornings every day:
Wash face: Ponds Dramatic Results Age Defying Rich Foaming Cleanser
Apply: Lumene (brand) Lifting Skin Supporter Day-Firming Day Cream on face & neck
Apply: A few dots of the same Lumene Firming Day Cream under eyes
Apply: A drop of Lumene Lifting Magic Drops Instant Beautifyer under eyes & around the mouth area.

Every Evening:
Remove eyemakeup with Andrea Eye Q's Eye Makeup Remover Pads
Repeat using all products listed for Mornings Every Day

Once or Twice a Week:
In The Morning: While in the shower, use a facial buff puff with my regular cleanser to slough off dead skin cells (exfoliate) on face.

Every Night:
Apply hand lotion to my hands before going to bed (brands vary)

I'd also like to mention that I have normal skin (as opposed to dry or combination), never break out except maybe one zit at pms time, and I am 44 yrs old. I must be doing something right, because no one ever believes my age...most people guess I'm between 31-36 years old.

I just posted my previous skincare regime. The following is my New regime that I began two days ago: (I wasn't unhappy with the old regime, I just wanted to try a new product line that is developed by a dermatologist)

The skincare line I just started using is called:
Dr. Perricone's Anti-Aging Line (N.V. Perricone, M.D. Cosmeceuticals)

Every Morning:
Wash face: with ALA Nutritive Cleanser, rinse well with warm water & pat dry.
Apply: 1-2 pumps ALA Face Firming Activator Face Treatment to entire face
Apply: Face Finishing Moisturizer to entire face
Apply: VCE Eye Area Therapy under entire eye,patting lightly with finger
Apply: ALA Eye Area Therapy under entire eye, patting lightly with finger
(both of the Eye Area Therapy's can be mixed together before you apply them)

Every Evening:
Repeat exact same routine as for morning,
Except add VCE Concentrated Restorative Cream (face treatment) by applying to entire face in the evening. Use after cleansing. Moisturize for additional hydration. Use every night.

Every Evening Before Going To Bed:
Apply hand lotion or creme (brands vary...but I could use a good suggestion if anyone has a great handlotion that they use)

:rolleyes: Girlie, yep, you lost me, 'cause your skincare regime is way too simple...lol. I assume from your posting name (Girlie19) that you're very young. If so, just wait until you get to be my age...you too can have a complicated skincare routine! (just kidding)

Seriously, sometimes the simplest products & the fewest are best. I just decided to try a new skincare line (at least new to me) that I'd heard great things about, got a sampler kit of six products, and am starting to try them all out. My skin is getting a little drier in areas (like under my eyes) and I want to avoid those dreaded wrinkles that time gives us all, so I am starting to take better care of my skin. Before, I was just washing my face and using a moisturizer on my face & the same moisturizer under my eyes, but I thought it was about time to start using eye moisturizers & treatments.

My new regime is really not complicated...it just looks that way when I type it all out. lol -Robin

My skin care regime has changed a bit over the past few years because I've been trying to prevent breakouts. But I've found out that my breakouts are probably internal and due to hormones. I've started taking Diane-ED bcp and it has had such a bit improvement. Anyway, my regime is this:

Morning every day
Cleanse with Joyce Blok Neroli Cream Cleanser
Tone with Joyce Blok Toner
Apply Joyce Blok eye cream and facial moisturiser

Night Mon, Wed, Fri
Cleanse
Remove eye makeup with Loreal Eye makeup remover
Exfoliate with Neutrogena exfoliator
Tone
Apply Joyce Blok moisturising mask

Night Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun
Cleanse
Remove eye makeup
Tone
Moisturise with eye cream and facial moisturiser

My boyfriend thinks I do heaps to my skin but it isn't that much. And if it keeps my face clear then I'll keep doing it.

I wash my face daily with Johnsons & Johnsons Purpose soap and use Clean & Clear Dual moisturizer w/Salicylic acid everyday and use a little walgreens brand eye cream around my eyes at night. At least once a week I use Neurogena's Pore Reducing face wash and toner.

Amy, does the Neutrogenia Pore Reducing face wash and toner really reduce the size of your pores? Is it very drying? I have normal skin, but I'm getting older (44), so I don't want something that will dry out my skin.

But, I've noticed lately, that my pores seem larger. I've just started a new skin care regime (posted on here previously), so I'm wondering if it's just "cleaning out" my pores and they just look larger to me because of that. -Robin
