What's on your face?

[rosie_one]

Right now... whatcha wearing?

I'm in summer humidity mode. My skin changes drastically winter to summer. So, Loreal cleanser and moisturizer (with spf 20), aveda toner, a new neutrogena tinted moisturizer/retinol product (so far, so good). Cover girl lipstick, the kind with the two tubes, one color, one gloss in a frosty lilac/mauve color.

I'm in summer dry skin mode. I'm enjoying the time off to let my skin rest. My skin is wearing hydroderm, Lancome Renergie eye cream and Renergie moisturizer. And a smile. Nothing else.

[memartha]

In the summer, my skin gets very oily vs. how dry it is in the winter. I break out constantly during the summer and rarely during the winter. Interesting that we are all different.

I swear by Olay Daily facials. Since I started using them, I rarely break out. Now that it's hot, I don't use my Clinique moisturizer every day, and have been trying to skip foundation on days I know I'll be perspiring heavily... like today on DD's 2nd grade field trip to the zoo... humid and 87 degrees. Otherwise I break out. :( Still use my under-eye cream at night and that's about it.

[gabbyh]

I find that if I dust with BE Mineral Veil before the foundation, and then again after, it works really well in this blasted South Florida humidity:D

I always start with Hydroderm (of course:D :D :D ) and then sometimes a very light "alpha lipoic acid with CoQ10" and/or "MSM vitamin C serum" by Ultra Botanicals...plus a bit of moisturizer, also by Ultra Botanicals.

On my lips is gloss, gloss, gloss...whatever I'm trying at the time...right now it's the mini glosses by smashbox and I LOVE them!

Of course after this thread I'll probably try something new:D It's an illness almost as bad as buying cookbooks:D :D :D

"Faces" sunscreen - it's not oily and if you sweat and it gets in your eyes it doesn't send you running for the bathroom to wash your face.

A little mascara and maybe lipstick - if not definitely an spf 15 "chapstick" type stuff.

Can you tell I'm spending more time outside now that the weather is sunny?

[wallycat]

Olay Complete spf15 for most daily wear around the house, errands, etc.
If I plan to spend any time walking in the garden or playing with my new kittie-babies, I wear an spf15 foundation over it (I have oily skin to start with, but in summer, it's an oil slick :rolleyes: ). Sometimes even that glides off after a few hours.
If I plan to exercise (bike or walk, once it is out of the high 80s/90), I will wear bull-frog spf 45 waterproof instead of the olay.

Lipstick...anything I reach for.
Fancy events, after the olay, I dust with a pressed powder and bronzer and pray it doesn't all slide off of me in 2 hours.

[CompassRose]

Sweat.

No, there's some Neutrogena moisturiser with sunscreen on there too. I know I should have sunscreen on -- but in summer, everything I put on my face makes me break out. Blah. Plus makeup slides off me, too, and if I get anything near my eyes, it aggravates my allergies and makes my eyeballs puff.

"I am not a pretty girl." :rolleyes:

Estee Lauder Perfectionist [CP+] with Poly-Collagen Peptides

Do I sound like a painted woman or what?

[donnamp14]

Rosie_one - Please fill me on on the new neutragena tinted moisturizer! I thinkI may need that! My skin is very oily in the summer and the foundation slides off, I swear! I want to lay off the foundation for the summer. DO you think it would help?

[bobmark226]

Deep Steep, with a Grapefruit-Bergamot scent. It's "clean, pure, natural," just like me. :)

[tperes]

washed with ponds pore scrub, followed by Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Toner. Then Aveeno Radiant Moisturizer w/ SPF 15 (since I will be inside all day). If I were going to be outside I would put on some Avon's moisturizer w/ SPF 30 (love the smell!) or Neutrogena face sunscreen w/ SPF 45.

If I remember to put it on, I am using Avon's Mark Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss in "player."

[sneezles]

Doesn't change much from winter to summer for me as humidity is always a factor here...wash with Cetaphil, moisturize with ChamoCare (a chammomile moistuizer). If I'm leaving the house then some Revlon eyeshadows in taupe, L'Oreal masscara and gloss. I do wear sunscreen but don't recall the name right now (it's a new one from France that's not sold in stores).

[Escher]

Just a bit of the sun from my afternoon walk, and a devilish grin.

[Chefzhat]

BE mineral veil, mascara, and tea tree oil chapstick. And a big smile.

My facial routine doesn't change much each season. Maybe a bit of sunscreen if I'm going to be on the boat.

[rosie_one]

No egg today, eh eshcer? ;)

The Neutrogena tinted moisturizer is "healthy skin enhancer" in super white girl (they call it ivory). It's still in trial for me I guess. I find I can't wear my usual powder in the summer and I've tried this looking for alternatives.

So far, so good. I think I'm going to need to add a concealer though as it doesn't have as much coverage as my powder does, which maybe is a good thing. I switch cleansers too... my humid mode cleanser is Loreal Balance face wash, combination skin and I add the toner. Every year I kind of forget about the summer skin difference and have to remember what changes I make

[MNGirlTX]

Aveda's All-Sensitive Moisturizer...BE "Golden Gate" Blush, eyeliner...and probably lunch remnants.

[Molli526]

BE Skin-Rev-er Up-er, BE Minerals, BE True/Clear Radiance/Glee mix, BE Mineral Veil, BE Eye Make up (don't remember the colors)

LOVE my BE!!

I've been trying out this same tinted moisturizer and I love it! I was too lazy to go to the mall for my usual Clinique Almost Makeup that I wear in the summer and I think I may like this even more. It feels great going on and isn't too heavy. Most days, winter or summer, I'm too lazy to wear makeup during the day but I've been putting this on almost daily because I like it so much. I'm currently wearing the Natural/Tan (I think) but will probably move up a shade by the end of the summer.

Besides this, I wash with either Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin (great, cheap basic cleanser) or St. Ives Cleanser for Normal/Dry skin (new product - so far so good). Then it's some eye cream (whatever happens to be in the medicine cabinet) and some sort of light moisturizer. Typically, my moisturizers do not contain sunscreen because I cannot stand the smell.

[RebeccaT]

At the moment, nothing. I'm working from home. :D

Usually, Olay Complete SPF 15, Stila tinted moisture SPF 15 in Light (my skin doesn't change much from winter to summer - pretty much always normal to dry). Maybelline concealer to cover up evidence of insomnia, NARS blush in org*sm (GREAT color for fair skin!), Stila eyeshadows (peaches and a brown for eyeliner), Revlon mascara, whatever lipstick is in the bottom of my purse w/ either MAC or Revlon gloss over it. I have no brand loyalty whatsoever, and I swear I don't wear as much makeup as I just made it sound like I do. :o

[tamawrite]

Mary Kay eye creams, SPF 15 moisturizer, moisturizing gel, and foundation, and a touch of ivory powder and blush. :)

[newtricks]

Neutrogena Dry touch sunscreen SPF 45 and the Cover girl perma-lipstick that Rosie One mentioned. When I go to the pool I'll put some gloss on.

[Krystal]

I've been using the Paula's Choice cleanser, moisturizer and the BHA 2% lotion, which I've been using as my night cream. Also, an eye cream from skin simple. I found it at Walmart and I like it so much more then the pricey Keihls I was using.

During the day I have been using the Neutrogena tinted moisturizer - Like it so far and MAC powder.

I'm glad you like the Neutrogena moisturizer. I was so excited when I bought it--I needed the same shade as you, and its rare that I can find something light enough. I've used retinol in the past and I don't ever leave the house without sunscreen, so I was psyched. For some reason, this stuff has made my skin break out like nothing ever has. I'm so bummed, since I love the concept. Oh well. So, to answer the original question, I have a acne cream on my face right now.:o :rolleyes: :(

[stefania4]

I just bought a new CoQ10 moisturizer (I ran out of Neutrogena w/copper). My skin feels fine but why, why, why must "all natural" products from healthfood stores smell like patchouli or something similarly musky/heavy? I may have to toss it because I just can't handle the scent.

Other than that, it's Cetaphil cleanser, Almay foundation, and Burt's Bees lip shimmer in Rhubarb or Nutmeg.

[jellyben]

You people are making me nervous. I have just figured out my 'winter' routine, and I am now left with the impression I need to devise a 'summer' routine?!
Anyhoo, I use Olay Regenerist, some Olay Eye Cream and Olay Complete moisturizer. If I am going to be seen by my public, I will do Lancome foundation, concealer, mascara, etc.

Must now think up new 'summer' routine...
