What's your skincare routine?

My routine is...

AM

Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser (Used with my Clairsonic) Cerave AM Moisturizer Smith's Minted Rose Bud Salve (For my lips)

PM

Bioderma or Lush Ultra Bland (To remove makeup) Cerave Renewing SA Cleanser Stridex Single Step Acne Control (Red box) Paula's Choice Resist Retinol Serum Cerave Moisturizing Cream Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask

WEEKEND

Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask (I've been using this jawn long before I knee what Reddit was) Kate Somerville Exfolikate or Grand Central Beauty S.M.A.R.T Skin Perfecting Polisher or Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash

I have combo skin that gets crazy oily on my forehead and nose, but crazy dry everywhere else. In the PM I will cleanse and use my Stridex pads as soon as I'm in for the night. Then right before bed I'll use the serum and once I'm settled into bed I'll apply the Cerave and the Bite Beauty lip balm. All in all, this routine works pretty well for me. Doesn't make my skin overly dry or overly oily and it in my opinion its not too expensive.

Oh and as for the array of exfoliators, I LOVE the Kate Somerville one but it's crazy expensive so I only use it when I can get a deluxe sample at Sephora. The Grand Central Beauty one is nice and gentle, almost good for daily use, but it's only available at Birchbox...which is a pain. So I usually end up using the Philosophy one because it gets the job done, isn't too harsh and I can get it a variety of places. Also you'll note I don't use an eye cream...instead I just make sure to apply additional moisturizer/serum to my eye area.

Hope this is helpful and if you want more in depth info on any of the products I use, let me know.
