First, best beauty-type advice I ever got was from my mother and grandmother who said to never wash your face in the morning!! They warned that washing stripped the skin of the essential oils that our body produces while we sleep. Of course they also told me to never, never, ever go to bed without washing my face!! And may I say they both had beautiful skin and.....very, very few wrinkles, even well into their 80s! And being in the Baby Boomer age group, I can truthfully say that like them, thus far, I have very few!

So having said that, lol...my routine is:

Sebamed Moisturizing Face Cream

ELTAMD SPF 41 Tinted Cream (comes in a tube)

IT Cosmetics Matte Eye Shadow

Clinique Quikliner eyeliner

No mascara

I have a very pale complexion so need some foundation or else I look totally washed out so..

I use the Wayne Goss trick of dusting on a tiny, tiny amount of loose powder first..use IT Bye Bye Pores...it works like magic in keeping my foundation on all day long with no touch-ups needed

Then I use a very light dusting of IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation in Light (love this stuff - literally takes under a minute to apply - have found the quick stipple technique is best!!)

And a light dusting of IT Sweet Cheeks blush

Lipstick...fave is Cover Girl in a pale rose shade

Hey @yellowBeetle I was told the same thing about not washing in the morning!  IMO we strip way too much. I just splash cold water and dab dry with a soft cloth.

I understand that this works for some people, but I like to apply heavier creams to my skin before bed, so I prefer to wash my face in the am. Plus, I like using a low ph cleanser to prep my skin to best receive my treatments. Everyone has to do what works for them, and each of these methods work for some, but not for others.
