What is your skincare routine? Wash with beauty bar then moisturise
What products do you use? Dove beauty bar (although atm I have some nivea face wash which I'm using), nivea soft moisturiser, estee lauder eye cream (was a gift with purchase).
Anything else you feel you do that is good for your skin? Every now and then I use Bio-serum as a night cream, especially around my eyes.
I have found there's not really a lot of difference between the expensive products and the cheap ones on my skin hence I happily use a beauty bar instead of spending tonnes on specific face products.

What is your skincare routine? Wash and moisturise 2x daily. Also use eye cream. Twice a week I use a derma-exfoliant (Wont be for long as its running out and I cant afford to buy a new lot!)
What products do you use? St Ives Blemish and Acne scrub, Olay moisturiser, Avon eye cream. Avon derma exfoliant.
Anything else you feel you do that is good for your skin? Once a week I apply an aspirin face mask, or just on my zits if i get them. I also make up an egg white and lemon juice mask and apply that once a week. Works a treat, and costs next to nothing.
I take evening primrose oil, omega 3 and cod liver oil, as well as plenty of nuts and seeds and have seen a dramatic improvement in my skin

What is your skincare routine? Soap and water! In the shower!
What products do you use? What ever (soap or body wash) was on special!
Are you happy with your skin? Very...no zits, even tone, no wrinkles (that bother me!)
Anything else you feel you do that is good for your skin? Not really, I do think it's mostly genetics, my father and grandfather both have quite good skin so it seems to run in the family. I do apply sunscreen in summer...and I try to drink a lot of water, but no 'special' tricks.

What is your skincare routine?
I cleanse and moisturise. I always use sunscreen and occasionally use a scrub. I love baby wipes and baby oil as a makeup remover. Its cheaper and works just as well. Just make sure you cleanse properly afterwards as you don't want an oily face.
What products do you use? Everything. I'm a product junkie. I use Nivea, Mary Kay, Clinique, Simple, Olay, Dr Lewinns, J&J, Neutrogena, Avon, Dove - what ever I grab.
Are you happy with your skin? Yes I am lucky enough to take after my mother. I have a great complexion and not a single wrinkle.
Anything else you feel you do that is good for your skin? This is more for your feet. After having a bath or soaking your feet in a foot spa cover you feet in thick / oily moisteriser (like Nivea cream or Rosken skin repair) and put on a pair of old socks. I usually do this before bed. Its much cheaper than a pedicure.
Also sunblock, sunblock, sunblock!

What is your skincare routine?
I use a facial wash in the shower in the morning and then use a moisturiser after that. I also have a microdermabrasion kit that I brought yonks ago when I still lived in Lodon that I use infrequently.
What products do you use?
Simple face wash and garnier moisturiser
Are you happy with your skin?
Yes, I got married in March and leading up to that did the cleanser/toner/moisturise thing twice every day and had great skin. I got sick of that and became lazy and switched to the routine I use now and my skin still looks good.
I agree with the sunblock comment too!

What is your skincare routine?
Cleanse/tone/mositurise in morning. Cleanse and put on a night creme at night. Exfoliate twice a week, and use a facial mask once a week.
What products do you use?
Nutrimetics (I can send you specials brochures if you're interested hehe). I use their Clear range for the morning, and the skin "cake" with brush in the evening followed by Nutri-rich oil.
Are you happy with your skin?
Yup it's much better since I stopped using the supermarket stuff (which works for some people but just dries out my skin)
Anything else you feel you do that is good for your skin?
just the usual drinking enough water, wearing sunscreen (once we get some sun that is lol)

What is your skincare routine?
Cleanse, tone, moisturise.
What products do you use?
I only use Living Nature, as it is chemical-free, does not react with my skin, is a 100% owned NZ company, all ingredients on their skincare is derived from plants, and there commitment to being environmentally friendly.
I used their Purifying Cleanser (both day and night), Hydrating Toner (both day and night), Firming Flax Cream (this is for the eye area, but also areas that are prone to deep set wrinkles/lines, such as around the mouth area and the bit between the eyebrows), Balancing Day Cream (for day), Balancing Night Gel (for night), and the Daily Defence SPF 15 (this is a sunscreen, which I use daily).
I use their Vitalising Exfoliant once a week as well.
Are you happy with your skin?
Yes, I am very happy with my skin, as I take great care and pride in it. I've hardly had problems with pimples, I have nice even skin colour and tone, and even though I am in my mid 20's, I don't have a fine line in sight
Anything else you feel you do that is good for your skin?
Finding a skincare range that your skin agrees with. It is best to go with a natural product. I would recommend going for trial sizes in a particular skincare range to see how your skin reacts to it.
Plus drinking water is great, and what food I eat. I've been using Living Nature for years now.
