The Official Face & Skin Care Routine Thread

[Giselle]

All I'm hearing is

Please follow the requests in the OP by providing your steps and products

I don't use anything now but water. Sometimes I wash with cetaphil.

When I used retina, I washed my face with a brush & cetaphil at night, let it air dry, put the gel on, let it sit, then put on vitamin e oil or cerave moisturizer.

In the morning I only used water and put on spf.

I kinda of laugh at the people when they come to pharmacy and get there tretinoin cream and they find out it cost $100 plus.

lol. I use the gel, and mine only costs $10 for 3 tubes. Mine is covered under insurance.

What retin A do you use and what Vitamin C? also do you use tretinoin

tretinoin is 100+ every with basically the best insurance? and are you sure these people aren't specifically asking it for "cosmetic" reasons. if you tell your derm it's for anti aging and stuff it will be billed under something like cosmetic im sure instead of necessity. if you say for acne im sure it gets covered.

I don't use any vitamin C yet. Tretinion and retin a is basically the same thing. I used the .1% gel. Idk what brand. Mine was covered under insurance though.

How often do you do the mask? Other brehs up on this?

Also I been needing a new beard moisturizer. I'll check it out. I see Cantu products all the time

I use the clay once a week. I use Homest Amish beard balm after I use the cantu conditioner. A friend got me some argan oil from Morocco. Unbelievable soft beard.

In addition to the natural products mentioned here, a balanced diet, a lot of water and consistent washing and changing of your sheets and pillow cases (every day if you have a in-house laundry) - If you have specific areas to improve and have a bit of disposable income I suggest taking a trip down to Dermologica. Have a full skin evaluation and then trying some of their recommendations. It is not cheap at all, my toner was around $100 alone. A dermatologist is a wonderful resource and completely underused by our people.

When I reup on my products from them I usually spend about $300 but I can also say that my skin is pretty flawless. You don't have to use much and I only have to replenish about 2-3 times per year.

My skin used to be fukked up and dull as a muthafukker. What really took my skin to the next level was going on the goat acne medicine Accutane and cutting out processed food from my daily diet. Green smoothies alongside exercise got my skin glowing.

If your tryna get rid of hyperpigmentation, sun screen is a must especially now its coming up to Summer otherwise any action your taking e.g. chemical peels will be in vain you'll be essentially making it darker and therefore it'll take longer.

Reapply it too, Im bad at that

Aloe vera's good for spots, the raw shyt not the store bought... get a plant and break off a leaf when you need it leave it on overnight.

Are cococare products genuinely 100%? I'm at a store and not sure...

Drink at least a half gallon of water daily and spend 10-15mins in the Sauna at least 3x a week and you will see results.

Pharrell recently spoke with DAZED about his AW17 collaboration with adidas Originals and his plans for giving back to communities in need. During the discussion, the GRAMMY Award-winning artist also revealed one of the methods he follows to preserve his flawless skin: exfoliation.

I exfoliate like a madman. When you exfoliate and you drink a lot of water, that does good for you. To me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There’s a lot of dead skin. All the time. Like a narcissistic madman.
This is the latest skincare tip that Pharrell has provided over the past few years, during which he has not aged at all. According to an interview with Riley Montana, it was revealed that he drinks a lot of water and uses Cetaphil products as well.

In 2013, Pharrell told Into The Gloss that he follows a strict cleansing routine that involves washing his face regularly with cold water and Glytone Self-Foaming Cleanser, followed by a clearing toner and a moisturizer. All of the items on his shelf are only prescribed by his dermatologist, Dr. Elena Jones. Naomi Campbell advised him to trust in doctors.
