It depends on how I feel that day and what I'm prepping for. If I know there's a special event, I take extra good care of it a few days ahead.
Daily: Foam cleanser (Belif) > pat dry after rinse > splash really cold water to close pores > toner (Nivea) > serum (Tatcha) > moisturizer (Belif) sunscreen (isntree).
I do this daily, usually during my shower (I just put on foam cleanser during shower and rinse off, then do the rest of the routine outside of shower). In mornings or when I feel oily, I just splash water. ~ Special occasion: Oil cleanser (Tatcha) > foam cleanser > face mask (hanacure or normal) > pat essence in > splash cold water around acne prone areas > toner > serum > moisturizer sunscreen.
I change up routine and add/deduct extra steps as I see fit. But this is generally what I do.
As for diet, I eat balanced meals. This includes seafood, vegetables, meats, rice, etc. I don't have any dietary restrictions and I eat 3 different meals daily.
Eating well, sleeping well and drinking water often does a favor for your skin.
There's a saying in my country that men use the same shampoo for hair, body, car and to wash the dishes. This doesn't apply to me. Though, if the temperature drops below -5 Celsius, I might occasionally apply some day cream, so that my face skin doesn't turn red.
In the morning it’s usually 2-3 steps and in the evening it would be about 5 steps. I try to keep it as simple as possible in the morning in case I’m wearing makeup, sometimes if I add too many layers it ends up pilling. PM is when I want to lock in moisture and heal my skin. My skin is dry and sensitive so I’m mainly trying to retain hydration and avoid breakouts hence the minimalist routine. Personally I find it better to keep it small rather than use too many products at once. I learnt the hard way that incorporating excessive actives in a routine can damage your skin immensely.
Morning: Wash face with the Clinique bar soap (for both face and neck), then I apply the Clinique clarifying lotion (the one for combination skin), then I apply the moisture surge on both face and neck.
Night time: Remove makeup with first the Clinique makeup remover and then with Garnier Micellar Water. Wash face with either the Clinique 7 Day Scrub or Clinique bar soap (if i wore make up that day I'll use both). Depending on the day and my face I'll apply the C'est moi charcoal mask before I take my shower. Twice a month I'll put on a charcoal pore strip to help with my nose. Then I'll apply the clarifying lotion, moisture surge, and then the Clinique eye cream to help with the puffiness and to brighten up my eyes while I sleep.

I have a prescribed skincare routine and it's very simple. First, I gotta wash my face thrice (morning, evening and at night before sleep). Second, I have to drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Third, eat healthy foods only like fruits, dry fruits and green vegetables. Avoid fast and oily food. Fourth, stay clean, sanitize hands from time to time, wash pillow covers weekly, clean phone screen and cover everyday and don't touch face. Fifth, avoid going out under Sun. Sixth, get enough sleep. Now coming to the products I use: Ahaglow face wash and Excela moisturizer Yes, only these two products I use which are prescribed by dermatologist. I have oily acne prone sensitive skin.
I use bar soap -> Toner -> essence -> moisturizer -> serum last. I'll use a face mask every week. I also stay away from meat 5 days out of the week. My skin started to really glow after i started that. I mostly use snail mucin, retinol, and vitamin c products.
I wash my face with cleanser, tone, use vitamin c serum, moisturize, SPF if I’m going out, and use adapelene gel (retinol) if I’m breaking out!
I've been wanting to add hyaluronic acid to my skincare as well, but my mom says I buy too much skincare related stuff and experiment with my skin wayy too much so 😑
In the morning I sometimes use cleanser, toner/essence, moisturizer and spf. In the evening it's cleanser (sometimes I double cleanse), again toner/essence, serum (sometimes sheet mask and eye patches also if I have pimples then pimple patches) and moisturizer. I should be more consistent with my skincare tho.
I have night skincare routine. I first apply freezed Aloe Vera in my face and let it stay for 10 mins. Then I wash my face with a face wash with fruity smell. Then I apply face cream and lip balm. For arms and legs I just wash them and apply cream.
i never do anything to my skin lol since it's acne and pimple free. however i'm hoping to soon get a keratosis pilaris cream since i have a bit of kp on my upper arm unfortunately and hope that it will work ):
Once a week or every two weeks depending on the weather and season, mix lemon juice, olive oil and sugar together into a gritty paste. Exfoliate my skin with that, then wash it off with warm water. Done. Easy.
i honestly really don't , ill occasionally use my pan-oxl or my prescription cream from my derm when i feel a pimple coming when i start getting itchy or every two days ill use this other brand but not all the time since it dries out my face
not much of a routine since i do it every other day or every 2 days , i put face wash on and let it sit for 5 minutes and then rinse it off and call it a day
