Skin Care Routine Normal to Dry Skin

by Rati on February 12, 2012 · 76 comments

Some of you wanted to know my current skin care routine. So here it is.

To give you a little brief about my skin. I have normal to dry skin, not very sensitive.

Cleansers : 

Cetaphil Cleanser for sensitive skin : I don’t have very sensitive skin but I still use it. It is super gentle on skin and I totally love it. I sometimes do feel that it does not give that satisfactory “clean skin” feeling but I use it only only because it is meant to maintain the PH balance of the skin and does not strip my skin of moisture.

 L’occitane Immortelle Brightening Cleansing Foam: Foam Cleanser. Love it . Finished using it . Would be repurchasing it. Full review HERE 

Forest Essentials Tejasvi Ubtan : I use it every other day. It is like a mini exfoliator. Love it. I mix it in milk or rose water. Will review it.

Lancome Exfoliance Confort : This is almost over. Loved using it. Would be repurchasing it in winters. Full review HERE

exfoliator Skin Care Routine Normal to Dry Skin

L’occitane Fabulous Serum : The only serum I have ever used and I am very happy with this one. I use it twice a day. Would be re-purchaisng it. Full review HERE

L’occitane Angelica Eye Roll on : Super effective, light and non greasy. Definitely a repurchase. This also is almost over now. icon razz Skin Care Routine Normal to Dry Skin  Full review HERE

La Roche Posey Suncreen SPF 50 : My HG Sunscreen. Light, gets absorbed easily. Loves a very light whitish cast behind , which settles down witha  few seconds. Never broke me out.

Lancome Bi Facil Eye Makeup Remover : Would be repurchasing it all my life. icon razz Skin Care Routine Normal to Dry Skin Either this or the Chanel one. Full review HERE

Clinique Take a Day off Cleansing Milk : Totally do not recommend it. I had it so just wanted to finish up using it. Full review HERE

These are the two toners I use.

Forest Essentials Rose Water and Forest Essentials Panchpushp Facial Mist : Review HERE  Totally recommend both fo these especially for summers.

My current moisturizer is L’occitane Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate. Totally enjoy using it but would repurchase it in winters only. Review HERE Would be picking up a light lotion next.

Hi Rati – Thanks for your skin care routine…i am dry skinned :haanji: …and the above suits me to a T ( I also use the cetaphil cleanser , and FE products)…however Loccitaine isn’t availaible in Pune i guess….would you be able to share how we could buy it online…would love to try the serum… :methinks: :methinks: :love:

Also does one wait after applying serum and then apply moisturizer ?
