Do you have a beauty routine?

I know many of us on myLot are of a "certain" age and have different ways to take care of our skin.
I've never worn a lot of heavy makeup and I know as I age that less is more.
Over the years I've tried to take better care of my complection. I use moisturizers, sun block, then a little makeup.
I recently bought two lip balms from Andria Perry's store (@andriaperry) and love them! You can find her online site from her myLot profile.
I love a clean, dye-free product at a reasonable price.
I've found that a high priced product doesn't always equal a high quality product.
I buy makeup at department stores and at Walmart. I bought a really good sun block that my Dermatologist suggested, but from eBay instead of her office at half the cost.
So my beauty routine is: clean my face with a good, mild exfoliator, moisturize, use sun block, primer, foundation, mascara, and lipstick.
What do you girls use?

You have a great complexion.
I have always practised the less is better approach to making up my face.
I have always used just a minimal amount of make up.
And I completely cleanse my face daily, as well as moisturize it and exfoliate every few days.
I'm looking forward to ordering from Andria also, I'm waiting for some lavender lotion to go up on the site. Its nice to have someone here making products that we can trust.

@andriaperry I placed an order. And now I just cannot wait until it arrives. I know that it will take a bit longer with the border, but I'm still excited about trying the products that I choose.

I have it! Its just I am an old person that does not do computer stuff well.
I make it fresh To order even though it has a shelf life of one year.
EDIT: I added the scented option since I found out I could do that

I'm a guy and so just wash and that is it. I will not be entering any beauty contests.

I make my own eye makeup remover with olive oil and witch hazel.

Thanks! I think the two most important things for our skin is a good moisturizer and sun screen.

My beauty routine is to exfoliate the face of a product that has watercress and sugar.
One routine I do is use the cream that is found inside the slug plant to pass on the face after shaving.

This sounds strange to my American ears! Are you telling the truth or being silly? I don't mean to offend you..please forgive me if I have.

As a guy, I don't do much but wash with soap and use sunblock when I know I'll be outside for a prolonged time. I could describe what my wife does, but I have no idea what all she does. I do know it works. She's just a beautiful now as she's ever been.

@1creekgirl She might if she reads over my shoulder. She's not a member and kind of considers myLot my thing and leaves me to it.

I am glad you are happy with the lip balm. Thank you for voicing your satisfaction.
After my little experiment a couple years ago about " how I was treated with and without make up" for 6 months I noticed that less is better. Most days I don`t wear make up and in summer I am tan so I do not need any base makeup, I use a little mascara and the Homemade lip balm.
I wash my face with warm water and my homemade soap.Then I apply the homemade lotion and deodorant.
If I am going to be in the sun longer than a couple hours I use sunscreen all over.

You look beautiful. Your hair is gorgeous. I don't have a huge beauty routine. However, I am fond of Aveeno products for my face. I just started doing my nails again.
