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!

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.
