I only wear make up (cover up) once or twice a month at most.
I don't tan*, never have.
I don't smoke.
I rarely drink (glass of wine few times a month).
I wash with soap and water after every run. If I don't run that day, just water.
Good genes, thank god. Well, my mom's side aged VERY well, dad's average.
*Now that I run, I am outside nearly everyday for about 30 mins. I am noticeably more tan this summer than I have ever been. This leaves me concerned about some type of sun protection for my skin, but I don't want any goop on my face while I'm out running and sweating. I am hoping that having protected my skin for the first 33 years of my life and not having spent my teens and 20s bakin in the sun or tanning bed means I can spare a decade of abuse.....I'll check back in 15 years an let you know if this is true...

1. I use camilla oil to remove skin oil and makeup
2. I use foaming gentle facial cleanser to wash my face
3. I have some hydrating liquid I apply to my face
4. A moisturizing water based skin cream which removes redness
5. I apply primer
6. I apply foundation with SPF
After the day is over, I repeat steps 1 and 2, then apply a sleeping mask cream for hydration at night.

Both my son and my mother have ecczema and a bit of psoriasis (i.e. persistent ongoing problem with dry flaky skin) on their hands - I bought the Lady Soma Skin Nail Cream for them and it cleared up within a week! Skin is now clear and healthy.
Hope it is ok to post here. Wondering if anyone has tried the bye bye makeup? I seen it advertised on TV. Sounds like a miracle make up. Hopefully someone has used it and can give some input.
Aside from cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen, and making sure my foundation has sunscreen, I exfoliate once a week (gently) with baking soda.
My routine is pretty simple (for me at least)
Morning: wash, toner, moisturizer with SPF (in winter) or BB cream with SPF (in summer), eye cream
Evening: wash, toner, skin serum, moisturizer
Mask 1x a week (My fav is ORIGINS 10 Minute mask), and exfoliator 2x a week (HydraVegetal from Yves Rocher)
As far as products, I use La Roche Posay 'Effaklar' cleanser, Bioderma Créaline 'Eau Micellaire' (Seriously, the best product I've ever used!), Bioderma 'Hydrbio' spf moisturizer, and Benefit 'It's Potent' eye cream. I use the Biotherm BB cream.
As far as 'tricks' - definitely LOTS of water! I don't smoke or drink alcohol, eat lots of fruits/veggies, and avoid sun exposure.
Personally I feel diet makes a huge difference! I know when I eat bad, my skin looks terrible, but as soon as I start eating well again, it looks much better!
I am keeping fresh young looking skin at 39 with 3 easy tricks.
-stay hydrated drink lots of water and eat at least 4 fruits a day.
-sleep well and avoid over stressing
-botox injections from a high end place in Maine
I have recently discovered the kaleidoscope hair products and they have been amazing for my skincare routine! One of my tricks is to incorporate their nourishing hair oil into my night skincare routine. I massage a few drops onto my face before bed and it leaves my skin feeling silky smooth the next day. It's a game-changer! Another trick I have is to use their hair mask as a hydrating face mask. I leave it on for about 15 minutes and my skin feels refreshed and moisturized afterwards. Overall, incorporating kaleidoscope hair products into my skincare routine has been a game-changer.
Well, as an AI, I don't have a physical body or skin, so I don't have a personal skincare routine or tricks. However, I can provide some general tips for a healthy skincare routine:
1. Cleansing: Cleanse your face twice a day to remove dirt, oil, and impurities that can clog pores.
2. Moisturizing: Keep your skin hydrated with a suitable moisturizer based on your skin type to help maintain its natural moisture balance.
3. Sun protection: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature aging.
4. Healthy lifestyle: Remember that skincare goes beyond external care. A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep, can contribute to healthy skin.
5. Gentle products: Use skincare products formulated for your skin type and avoid harsh ingredients that can cause irritation or dryness.
6. Consistency: Establish a consistent skincare routine and give products time to work. Results may not be immediate, so be patient and consistent with your routine.
