My nightly routine takes me about 20 minutes. I wipe my eye makeup w/neutragena eye makeup remover in pads. Then I use Oil of Olay face wash to remove my all over face makeup. When I am done w/that I use St. Ives apricot scrub to scrub my face. After scrubbing I use Witch hazel as a toner. My night cream is Roc night rejunerate cream. I use Estau Lauder eye cream and when my face cream is on I spritz my face w/a mixture of water and rose water glycerin. For winter days that helps maintain moisture on my skin and it makes it feel softer in the morning! Hope this was useful! Thanks

In addition to my morning routine, I use Luxiva AHA Intensive complex by Merle Norman twice a week. My problem is I have just started menopause and my skin is going to change more this year than any. I have been looking at the Resurgence brand that Joan London is a spokes person for that is suppose to be for Hormonally aging skin and I have read a few of Dr. Perricone books and I am also looking at his line of products. If your face and hair look good you just feel better.

I'm pregnant with our second child. So far my skin has been easy to maintain despite the occasional pimple here and there. I am one that always uses a foundation with SPF 15 daily. Prior to that I cleanse my skin with soap and water, put on a moisturizer, and then concealer followed by foundation. My night routine consist of washing my face with soap and water and then applying a night cream. I use a department store brand, kind of pricey, however I have found something that I believe works, and don't really want to deviate. Although I am looking into some organic products. Would eventually like to make that move.

I will soon be 51 and I can't believe how much my skin has changed. I've never really been one to lay in the sun but I use to be outdoors alot. I always used sunscreen because I am very fair complected. I battled with oily skin most of my life and still do but the areas in my check bones get so dry and there are alot of fines lines. I try to use all natural products and do not use soap on my face. I will exfoliate once a day in the morning and use witch hazel as my toner. I use a non oil based moisturizer. I usually just wear a little blush and powder. Anything heavier makes me break out. I want to be able to grow old gracfully and need a great product to help me to do that.

I'm a nurse, my working day can be anywhere from 8 hours to 20 hours & my week can be anywhere from 5 days to 7 days. I would love to have a daily routine but time is usually limited and I do what I can when I can. In the morning I use a facial cleaning product, toner and a moisturizer with SPF 15. I do like to use an eye product if I have the time. Nighttime it depends on how tired I am and how much time I have. I use a facial cleaning product, toner and a nighttime moisturizer. I use two or three different moisturizers in layers..........which I know ends up clogging my pores, but each one for the unique ingredient it has. I'm hoping to get the benefits from each. I use an eye product for fine lines and puffiness. I try to do a mask once a week and use acne spot treatments when necessary. I'm 40, I have a few fine lines & wrinkles with a breakout now & then. I tend to try everything that comes out on the market but am not getting the results I want!

I use very gentle skin care products for the most part. My main problem is that I have areas that are oily but other areas can get very dry so using moisturizer can be tricky because it usually will lead to breakouts. In order to keep my skin not so dry I simply rinse with water in the morning and cleanse with a mild cleanser at night, like phisoderm. If my skin seems dry, which is usually all winter, I will moisturize those areas with a light oil-free moisturizer. The make-up I use, estee lauder enlighten, also acts as a moisturizer and has spf. Lately, though I have been sticking to my routine, I have been breaking out more than usual. I wish I could keep my face moisturized, because I know that's good for my skin and prevents fine lines and wrinkles to a degree, without having these breakouts.

I have such a difficult time developing a rouine and sticking to it so anytime a company come out with a product with less steps or guaranteed faster results I am all for it. I really like the acne free system and pro active but I am unsuccessful with theszes because of my lazy attitude. I am also a huge fan of 2 in 1 shampoos and fast dry polish for nails.

I am 59 going on 60. The new 40, right? Ha! I am up and out the door early each morning , so my skin care regiment usually goes something like this: Wash face with a warm wash cloth (It serves as a great mild exfoliator) and a mild cleanser (Dove and Jergens are good) Then Loreal age perfect, Smooth-365 peptide serum, and Olay eye gel. Then comes the makeup. This all takes about 10-15 minutes while I am drinking my coffee. At night, I like to use estee Lauder creme cleanser. I lather it on and use a warm wash cloth to remove. Baby oil does the trick for eye make up. I have recently used two different products for eyes and face at night. Eyliplex-2 nighttime for the eyes and Nutrimin-C Recover Night Creme. Am I satisfied? Never! I would love a day creme that make up can go over smoothly without emphasizing small wrinkles. Foundation, no matter how light, always seems to do that. I want something for my age group that isn't going to break the bank!

I am 42 and have a bad habit of falling asleep with what's left of my make-up. I know it's bad, but by the time I hit the end of the day I am wiped out. I have tried the cleansing cloths, but broke out in a rash around my eyes. I participated in the Olay regenerist sample and have become addicted to it. I use the night cream on my eyes and forehead where wrinkles are forming and the day cream on my cheeks and chin and neck. I exfoliate and clean my skin with Cetaphil in the shower every morning and weekly use a micro derm abrasion/chemical peel kit by Olay . I would like to use something very easy like the cleansing cloths if I could find something that works for the sensitive skin around my eyes. Other than that I love my products. Total time spent-15+/- minutes.
