What I found for my face routine is my Clarisonic Plus, I love it!!!!
Rather strict, never go to sleep without first washing away my make up. A serum + night cream in the evening and a mandatory SPF cream in the morning.
I love the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant as part of my daily routine, can’t live without it!
My skincare regime is Origins products twice a day. I use Modern Friction and Checks and balances throughout the week, they both work very well and are natural.
thanks
I use Borghese gentle face cleanser and exfoliator in one before shaving every day!
I use simple drug store brand face wash and toner, I’m not too serious about it, though the Murad products sound interesting.
Olay cream cleanser and neutrogena alcohol free toner.
I also use Estee Lauder serum a few times a week around my eyes.
I have a relatively strict routine of using a mild facial cleanser with a little triclosan (I use Clearasil Stayclear Oild-Free Daily Face Wash), with a little, face buffer sponge. I wash once in the morning and once at night. Also, I use Clean and Clear astringent for Sensitive Skin. I follow-up with Boscia daily moisturizer and their eye cream.
I wouldn’t say I am super strict. I do HAVE to wash my face every morning and every night before I go to sleep. I am not too picky about products, but I would LOVE to try these products.
I use clinique 3 step. i’m not super strict, but i do notice that if i skip a few days, I have breakouts. I would love, love LOVE to try these products!
I usually wash my face with soap then use juice beauty products for lotion and sunscreen.
I used to use olay but I’ve recently been converted into organic and natural skin products
i exfoliate my face in the shower… and quite often forget to remove my makeup before bed
but i think the only thing that keeps my skin clear is my birth control… if i forget to take it one day i’m definitely breaking out the next.
I wish I could be someone who could fall asleep with makeup still on! That would make my skin go nuts. My skincare routine is pretty strict – I wash my face 3x a day, each time with a different fashwash for different reasons. It’s a hassle, but without health insurance anymore, I can’t afford the medicine I used to take for breaking out.
I admit it, I kinda rinse my face, but I always forget to moisturize or properly WASH it. I need to. I also really need to remember to put on sunscreen because I’m really *really* fair.
I would LOVE to give this a try. My skin is always breaking out no matter what product I use. Pick me
My skincare regimen: Wash my face 2x per day, apply lotion after.
I am willy nilly on my skin care regiment. I ususally use a natural soap for face care. A little moisturizer afterwards, helps it stay fresh.

I hardly ever wash my face before bed… it’s bad I know…this is why I adore ponds makeup remover wipes… heaven sent.
I like neautrogena products… great cream cleanser!
I use olay regenerist good for my skin type and I always wash my face before bed and in the morning
I have to wash my face before bed every night or I wake up looking like a raccoon. My regimen changes from time to time… at the moment I like skyn iceland.
I wash my face morning and before bed with a gentle skin cleanser and then a moisturizer. I’m not super strict about it though and could probably use a slightly more advanced regime since my skin could use a little extra TLC. I would love to try out the Murad products!
I wash my face everynight and I use a topical prescription strength acne fighter. If I’m feeling really tired I won’t brush my teeth and instead just swish around some Listerine (gross I know)but I try and always wash my face!
At night I wash my face with Cetaphil and then use CerVe moisturizer. In the morning I wash my face with Cataphil than use a Nuetrogena daily moisturizer with SPF. I’ve never tried Murad, but I would absolutely love to.
My skin care routine is weird right now b/c I’ve got some pretty serious ezcema on all over most of my face. Currently I’m using an all natural soap, toner and moisturizer. I also have a natural anti-itch cream v/c my skin itches ALL THE TIME. I’ve tried all kinds of things to get rid of the ezcema and so far had no success. I’ve heard great things about this line of skincare, but I’m on a super tight budget so it’s not really an option for me. I would be thrilled to win!
I wash my face with cleaning milk using wonder cloth, spray with thermal water and then moisturizer with SPF during the day and a cream with retinoil at night. I also use a eye cream at night.
I’m strict with this routine and it works for me.
I use oil free acne wash in the morning and splash my face with cold water at night. I won’t use mascara because it inevitably stays glued to my undereyes for days!
I use Cetaphil and NEVER go to sleep without washing my face.
My Skin is pretty oily ( breakouts )but also sensitive… so in the morning i wash with oil free acne wash and then i use Teatree oil before i put makeup on …. at Night i wash again with oil free acne wash and use OTC Acne Cream. Oh yea,and i take about 1000mg of Vitamin C daily.
All I do is wash my face before bed… in the summer I don’t use moisturizer as i’m all too often sweating!
I have proactive, and I try and follow it as much as possible, but it hasn’t really been working for me, which has led me to kind of give up on it and go to bed without doing anything… which obviously hasn’t been working for me either!
I’m really strict!
Clarasonic face wash
eye cream
face lotion
decolletage

I use face wash when I shower in the mornings, and then moisturizer once I am out. That’s it – I don’t wear makeup though so I don’t need to wash that off at night (plus I’m lazy).
I’m not too strict…just soap and water, and a dab of vaseline on the eyelids if they’re a little dry!
spectrogel, plain and simple!
I wash my face with soap and water every morning and evening.
My skin care is strict but simple- every morning and night I wash with a bar of face soap and then apply either a day or a night cream.
I have used Clinique products for years. I use the 3-step skincare system. Although, I’ll amit I could be a little more dilligent with it.
Wash, use toner, moisturize (with SPF)…repeat two times a day.
My daily regimen is pretty strict.. I workout 6 days a week so I have to be diligent.. AM – wash, toner and moisturize with spf.. PM wash, toner, optional mask & moisturize with a night cream.
im not gonna lie my daily skin regimen is lil to barely nothing i can never really find anything to keep my skins clean mainly in the summer time i get so many heat bumps i just apply acohol to them to keep them down but it never fully gets rid of them but if its bad i will apply some cortizone nightly and it works
My skin care regimen goes in seasons. sometimes i am really good about it and sometimes not so much. If i am good i do a three stepper. If i am not then my face is generally washed with the drool I create when i sleep.
I have severe skin disorders so I take really good care of my skin but am disappointed with my current products. They do great for my disorder but I get breakouts! Argh! I’d love to try Murad!
I’m pretty conscious about taking care of my face, but I must admit there are times when I fall asleep with make-up on, I’m human I guess….but I try my best!

I don’t wash my face in the evening, but I would if I wore makeup very often. I would like to have a better routine, but I need to be more disciplined.
for me, it’s Perricone MD. they may not have the fanciest bottles or marketing, but they clearly make awesome products
I’m very strict about washing my face. I use a combo of Cetaphil for a cleaner, Neutrogena gentle skin scrub, and Aveeno moisturizer.
I’m really strict about some things, but not others. For example, I always put on sunscreen in the morning, and I carry extra with me in my purse to re-apply in case I spend any length of time outdoors. This is rain or shine, summer or winter.
However, I regularily go to bed without washing my face or applying cream.
I fall asleep with out washing me face!
I usually just take off my makeup with remover cloths. I don’t have particularly oily or dry skin and don’t get acne, so I don’t really need to go overboard on my routine.
I use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer, and costco’s facewipes.
Hello! I always wash my face in the morning and before bedtime!
I use a cleanser for my skin type and a moisturizer! This is a fabulous prize package. Please enter my name in your delightful

My skincare regime:
-Wash face with a facial wash
-tone with apple cider vinegar+water combo
-put on cream
I sometimes just wash my face and then thats it LOL bad habit, i know, but sometimes I’m just soooo tired
I wash my face with a cleanser, then I use a toner, and then I moisturize. I’m pretty strict with my skin routine – I only miss days when I’m really exhausted.
I linked back here: http://breakfastofjailbirds.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/not-always-aesthetically-pleasing/
My daily skin care regimen is pretty simple! In the mornings cleanse and tone (using a q tip to exfoliate the dead skin cells) and gently moisturize if needed. When I get back home in the afternoons I use a cloth to wipe off my makeup and then wash my face before bed. I am really regular with the routine, but there’s nothing complicated about it anyway!

My daily skincare regimen starts with washing my face with a washcloth and facial soap then dry. I then tone with a liquid toner, and then apply a SPF lotion. I repeat again in the evening, only I use a moisturizing lotion instead of one with SPF.
I am not strict about washing my face when I am camping, I relax the ritual to a quick rinse and a wipe with a cotton ball soaked in a cleanser/toner liquid.
Although, I will admit I occasionally go to sleep without washing my face when I am at home and really tired.
really excited to try out these new products
