if were including skin care, I would be here all day. lol

No wonder you're so flawless in your pics....do tell.. Hacks and tips are always welcome
I dont stick to one brand, but if i could, id use shisheido

la prairie and cr�me de la mer are my favorites.

I take really good care of my skin that's why, I use serums, oils, balms, elixirs, creams, the list goes on.

one tip - double cleanse

or

pre cleanse and follow with a cleanser.

Mmm...la prairie...

I bought this dead sea mineral brand...ahava and aqua...they are really really good.

I try to exfoliate at least once a week. Pore minimizer, eye cream daily.

I try some skin lighteners to even out the skintone cause of the freckles...not too sure they work, tho...

In appreciation of 'your' post (under reply)..


And, in admiration of that courage that you've been blessed with, as depicted by your profile..




Now, as IAm stated (albeit 'not' alluding to me), I'd prefer to stay out of the Ladies' room for safety..!

I exfoliate daily, with just a mild liquid exfoliator, and a resurfacing facial wash, then twice a week, I use a more intensive exfoliator.

I also use skin-resurfacing products,

and glycolic peels.( be careful with these, and only use a high quality one) and remember to use high sun protection after, even in the winter.

and I use different sorts of face masks twice weekly after a deep cleanse, exfoliating and re-surfacing.

never use soap, its the worst thing you can put on your skin.

I could be here all day lol. if you saw my skin care collection, you would be like this lol

I go for Klown white, and apply it thick. Then, I use electric red for my mouth area and add lots of eye liner! I draw in my eyebrows (Aquanet accident) and add a nice round red nose.

I didn't know we were talking about skin care..I do try to take care of my skin.
I use a cleanser toner and moisturizer 2x daily...

I also lotion my body right out of shower daily and nightly...

I am young (19) so my routine take 20-45 minutes. I first wash my face, put on lipstick in a red/purple ish tone or lip gloss. I put eyeliner just under my bottom lash line half way (outer corner) and in between my bottom lash line near the roots. then I tight line with the same black. I do a tiny wing on my upper lash line or just tight line upper lashes. I sometimes add black eye shadow in my crease. I put white or cream colored shimmer or eye shadow on the inner corners of my eyes and on the middle of my lids. I then curl my eyelashes. I put three or two different mascaras on. I usually put a lengthening mascara where barely any mascara goes on to separate. Then I will use my organic "fake" lash mascara. after that dries I'll put on a coat or two of my Manga voluminous mascara. then I'll reapply my eyeliner cuz in would have faded a bit. then I clean up the mascara I got on my skin. that's my eye enlarging technique. I have different ways of doing my makeup. I can post pictures of my eye make-up on my profile. I haven't figured how to put it on here.

Personally I have found that I am just so beautiful I don't tend to need makeup... Often lol

20 to 45 minutes, wow that's a long time.

to do my skin and make up in the morning, only takes me ten minutes.

my evening ( going out makeup ) and skincare routine, takes about 15 minutes because I like to do a smokey eye, which I don't do in the day time. I love a smokey eye and nude lips.

You are awesome! Thanks so much!

.. I think the better question is why do women need to wear makeup...? And why don't men wear makeup cuz believe me you some of us could really use it... Lol... I wish I could wear makeup.. there's a few deep canyons and crevices on my face that I would just love to .. spatula over with Some filler

Ooohhh....i love browsing thru skin care products.. ..lol....whether in magazines or in the stores...i have a good friend who is a dermatologist now....she's the one who got me hooked on skin care before...thank God for friends!

..i read the ingredients and keep away from alcohols and parabens.

I think you're not suppose to do the peeling and resurfacing too often. Thins out the skin.

SPF...i sometimes go as high as 50...lol...paranoid...

I agree...soap-free. I like cetaphil the best so far. Ive tried pro-active before, but i got a bad reaction to it, surprisingly.

That's true. My routine is about 5-10 minutes. Any more than that is already a chore.

Sometimes the make up happens in the car. But then again, it's usually just powder. I hate getting rid of eye make up....plus always fiddling around the eye area can add to the damage...

Men can wear makeup. Its there own body. they can do whatever they want. whether it's foundation or mascara.

and lots of women wear makeup not to look good for men or women (lesbian) they do it to make themselves feel beautiful. Self esteem....that's what I do. I wear makeup to emphasize my best features. I do not wear foundation cuz it covers my freckles.

it depends on the strength of the product and how pure the ingredients are,mine are pure and are made with only real plant extracts. I generally do a deep resurface every month and ive got a big collection of re-surfacing products that can be used daily, so I do use some more often than others.

I use factor 50 too.

I don't wear eye shadow in the day, just mascara and I define my eye brows and that's it. I don't put anything on my skin, because it just clogs it up after my skin care routine, and I don't need it.
