i use water, bar soap, and moisturizer and thats pretty much it. (and an epilator for hair removal)
it does keep me clean, but my skin is not so smooth. i would enjoy seeing what others around here do, or perhaps resources you find useful as well.
side tangents on nails, hair, etc. are also welcome :)

I let perfect be the enemy of good for way too long, but now I have a simple routine that works for me.
Daily AM/PM
- Vanicream cleanser
- Cetaphil moisturizer
(Moisturize a 3rd time after a shower if it’s in the middle of the day)
1-2 times / week
- Retinol (I forget what product exactly)
- Paula’s Choice bha exfoliator
Oh I just upped my routine!
Every morning: Nivea Skin Clear in shower Anua serum (niacinamide) Revitalift (low dose retinol cream) Beauty of Joseon SPF50+ (just a moisturizer with high SPF)
Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings micellar water (just to get the blech off) Creightons BHA lotion (salicylic acid for blackheads, a bit higher concentration to stay on over night). Revitalift (low dose retinol cream) A cheap Nivea facial lotion (something less sticky for bed)
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday evenings micellar water (just to get the blech off) Revitalift (same thing again, you get the picture) A cheap Nivea face lotion (something less sticky for bed)
And then Sunday evening is kind of a rest day for my skin so I just lightly scrub with water.
I have NEVER been good about skincare. I used to live in a sunny place on a sailboat and basically my skincare exclusively revolved around wearing a wide-brim hat and shorts, so I’m doing a bit of catching up. 😅
