What is your nightly beauty regimen?

It's important to take care of our skin especially the face. I noticed a big difference when stopped putting creams on my face. It was ugly. Now I'm back to the usual nightly routine I do to my face. Cleaning it first with facial cleanser, then putting night cream on it. I also use petroleum jelly for my lips and and skin. When I see pimples, I put petroleum jelly on it. Can you share your nightly beauty routine?

My face easily develops pimples that is why I also take so much care of my skin. Before going to bed, I wash my face with Cetaphil soap (this soap is so effective I was so glad it was recommended to me 5 years ago), then I put a toner, then my night cream.

I used cetaphil soap before, but I used the liquid one which is also used for babies. Now, I am back to my Perla soap for my face.

Perla soap really does wonder. I used to have pimples at my back and I use Perla for my body soap (well, because Cetaphil is way too expensive for body soap). Perla dries up the pimples at my back fast. My college friend who has some sort of allergy on her legs also used Perla and it has eliminated the itchy rashes on her legs.

I use face cleanser before I go to sleep and when I wake up. I bought a night cream that I rarely use. Unless I see a change in my facial skin, I kind of neglect it. especially since last year my mind was pretty much into making money and survival, I didn't even remember where the night cream was. but this discussion reminds me about it and I can probably place it somewhere in the bedroom so I will see it every night and remember to use it.

I am so glad to have reminded you about putting some night creams. There are many discussions here that also remind me of doing something which I have neglected for quite sometime.

I wash my face with soap, know it's a bad idea, and then go to bed. In the winter, I shower at night and scrub my face with a mild soap. When it's warmer I shower in the morning or sometime during the day and go right outside. I've had so many skin issues over the last 30 years that I won't do anything different that might cause problems. Too much sun when a kid and teenager cause me to have so many surgeries to remove skin cancer. My skin is fair and I burn easily in the sun. I only do the basics to my face. For my age, I'm not wrinkled but do have crow's feet. I can't slow the aging process down so just deal with the punches.

Having skin problems is not easy to deal with. I know you are taking extra effort to make sure that you will maintain good skin. I am glad I don't have much skin issues. I can go out in any weather.

I heard about that toothpaste being put on pimples but it didn't work well on me. My pimples got even bigger. I have friends who used toothpaste too and they are fortunate that it work on them.

I also sometimes gets lazy that I just wash my face with soap. But that seldom happens. I am trying my best to have a good skin since the natural aging process is inevitable.

yeah, I use petroleum jelly for my hair too and I have been doing that for more than a decade now. I just apply it on my hair once every week and I usually do it at night. I leave the jelly on my hair overnight. the next morning, I just wash it and shampoo my hair the next day. the petroleum jelly helped decrease the number of hairfall. I use Vaseline petroleum jelly.

I usually just use toner (as makeup remover), and wash my face. I don't really have a fancy regimen or anything . That's interesting that you use petroleum jelly! I haven't heard of that. Does it really work?

The petroleum jelly works many wonders. When I get rashes or itch in my skin, I use petroleum jelly. For my pimples, I have proven it to work well on me. You can try it. . .. By the way, you can also use the petroleum jelly to make your hair softer. Put it on your hair at night and leave it until the following day.
