Re: Has Your Beauty Routine Changed Since the Pandemic? How?

[ Edited ]

My routine is very different- like many other women I've stopped wearing a full face of makeup. Partly because of masks, partly because I'm retired and partly because I live in Florida. Heat and humidity don't favor a heavy makeup look. So I've pared things down to a five product, five minute face. Concealer, mascara, eyebrows, a blush/highlighter stick, and lips. Must wear my Lancôme lipsticks. All of this is done over a clean face lightly moisturized with spf. 
For church I usually add Bare Minerals foundation to even out my skin tone. And a little neutral eye shadow, one shade. 
It's funny that I have TONS of makeup; eye palettes and various brow products and numerous foundations, blushes etc. Yet I  can't seem to part with anything. That's a whole other discussion  lol.☺️

You know what I can't seem to take care of well enough? My hands and nails. I try to wear gloves when cleaning or dishwashing, and I use hand cream, but it's never enough. The nails are nice and healthy, but the cuticles are hard and dry, and the skin on the backs of my hands is looking not so great. Sometimes my fingertips are so smooth I have to wet them to use my phone. What's that about? Hand creams are rather expensive and really, they don't help all that much. 

 

I guess if that's my biggest problem, I have no complaints!

If Vaseline doesn't work for you, CeraVe in the tub is helpful.

 

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream For Normal To Dry Skin - Unscented - 12oz : Target

 

Very rich, very thick -- but no greasy feel.

 

Also comes with a pump for a little more $$$.  A tub lasts a long time.

Hey, Bee! Great to "see" ya! Thanks for the suggestion about CeraVe. I'll try it for sure.

Using an aha wash every single evening instead of once in a while. 

 

BIG change!  Killin'  those clogged pores too!
