I have normal- combination skin (dry in some areas and oily in t- zone and some other areas) and I was wondering if this is a good skin care routine?
Morning:
Tinted moisturizer (i don’t use foundation because I don’t really need it yet)
Every other morning I use Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily cleansing Pads (before tinted moisturizer)
Night:
I use Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash (Also is a wash the same thing as a cleanser?)
I then use St.Ives apricot scrub (the medicated one) I really like this product but I don’t know if I should use it everyday, and if it should go after the wash?)
Then I use any random Moisturizer that I find
That’s my skin care routine and is it a good one for my skin type. Also should I use toner, if so which one, and where in my regimen should I use it and how often? Also, if any of you have any recommendations and mini reviews, they are greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
I think it would be better for you to use a mild cleanser, such as Avene soapless gel cleanser or Johnsons ph balanced face wash, then apply your tinted moisturiser.
in the evening, cleanser is often not enough to remove all makeup/oil/surface dirt. Use a baby wipe (won’t irritate skin) or a makeup remover then wash again with the mild cleanser. make sure the moisturiser you use is good quality, and stick to the same one for a while to see if it works. Eucerin hydro balance light, Vichy moistuirsers and Olay moisturisers are all good.
use your exfoliator in place of your cleanser 2-3 times per week.
face wash is the same thing as cleanser. don’t use toner, it itsn’t necessary for young skin and any acne should be treated by a doctor. remember to also eat healthily, try and eliminate or at least reduce the amount of junk food you eat, exercise and drink lots of water. what you put into your body shows on the outside.

Its a good routine but what about the rest of you body. Don’t you cream anywhere else on your skin fair enough your face if where everyone see but dry legs and arms are not a good look !

That sounds like a perfect skin routine!!
Only thing is, you should only use a face scrub/exfoliater one or twice a week. Otherwise it starts to irritate the skin and takes off more skin than it should. (its only meant to clean off dead skin cells.)
My beautition (who is very good) says toner is not nessicary unless you have severe acne. Most of them contain alcohol and are over-drying on the skin – which makes the skin produce more oil than it needs, causing pimples.
But if you do decide to use one, you apply it after you moisterize.
Also, you should consider getting a cell renewal gel or a face mask for combination skin and apply it once a week.
Hope this helps?
