Hi Ladies, i would need some help with a proper everyday beauty routine. what should be the first thing every lady should do every morning as soon as she wakes from sleep. ranging from excercise, drinking water, brushing of teeth, beauty product application (like cleansers, masks, wash and all that). which one should come first? during the day, what?(i mean any special touch up during the day? like extra apllication of SPF cream, how abt removing make up with a make up remover and reapplying) then in the evening? when u come back from work, what should be the first? cleanse make up? or shower first then remove make up? please if u have any tips please share.

Any easy home made beauty tricks? thanks.

I do not know what's right or not but I will share mine. I have been doing it, and so far so good.

My beauty routine is pretty simple, I try to keep it simple so I can stick to it.

First I shower in the morning, brush my teeth, wash my face with a facial cleanser, after shower, I use a moisturizers for my face
and a body lotion for my body. I used to use nivea body lotion for both my face/body but lately I have started breaking out so
I use simple light moisturiser for my face, moisturize my hair, comb it and style it the way I want.

Doing the day, I do not even wear makeup, just lipgloss and I am ready to go. when I am going for a party/special accession I wear minimal makeup.

sometimes I try to have 30 minute workout, but I am a lazy backside   when it comes to workingout. I do not stick to it unfortunately

Night time is the same repeat, shower, wash face, brush teeth etc:

Weekly I apply a facial mask, soak my feet, file my nails, deep conditioner my hair and thats abt it

I visit the salon like every three months to do my hair professionally and other stuff.

now that is simple

please remember to say the name of the products u use.

i dont particularly have a special morning ritual. i wake up, say my prayers and straight to the bathroom. if i remember i use a face wash (neutrogena two in one Mask and wash) if i dont?  i just bath apply any available cream (have been using so white for over a year now, its nice but, so now i dont have a cream, still deciding on what to try next.) and off to work.

there is this tip a lady i met at a fashion designer's shop shared, its kinda "grossy" but its so perfect, very effective.

all u need
egg white
garlic
mix the egg white with the ground garlic and apply to face. leave till its very dry before u wash. u ll be surprised. if u can do it everyday? u ll be wowed! trust me on this one.

Note: its "hot" meaning that it has a lil menthol or something, dont know a better name to describe it,

say what I thot guys do not like all these stuff Are you a David Deckham or what

@Dorammy I'm the one in the white. My suggestion for you, go for them easy cream like cocoa butter or even skin success but
stay away from all those harsh African cream. Try different kinds of products till you get what work for you.

Well, dont know much abt guys but i do not that everyone (male or female) ought to look good esp if u are light skinned. as a guy dont use bleaching stuff esp if u are light skinned cos its so irritating to see a guy with bleached skin. you can moisturize ur body. i know a friend (guy) that cleanse his face with his sisters stuff and he looks so muaaah! so when the sister got married and moved out he bought those products mostly neutrogene acne wash (he doesnt have pimples o! but it helps dry out oil from his face)

Try to avoid sun exposure and use a moisturizer with sunscreen. get a facial wash and always wash ur face and u ll glow. good luck.
if i get names of other products ll post ok?

@Dorammy: Bless u, sista! I already use facial cleansers(Clearasil) and a sunscreen/moisturizer(Venus). Just need an expert opinion on the best brands based on personal experience.

I guess mine is simple.

Night time, b4 bed:

I wash my face with a bar of dove soap for sensitive skin. Pat dry. Use coconut oil to moisturize face. (I started using Olive oil this week so i'll see how that goes. So far so good.)

Morning time:

Brush teeth, Take shower with dr.bonners castile liquid soap. I don't wash my face with it bcuz its a bit harsh for the face but excellent for the body. To clean my face in the morning, I use a warm wet towel only, no soap bcuz i washed face thoroughly the nite b4 and don't want to strip away natural oils from face. then i put on any moisturizer that i see laying around lol. but this week i've been using olive oil for face in morning to see how i like, so far so good.

I used Coconut oil for my body. Great stuff. put on clothes, eat breakfast, then do make up. NOthing heavy. And then im out the door.

Oh yea, almost forgot. I "try" to exfoliate atleast twice a week with St.ives apricot scrub. And thats it.

I get my coconut oil from tropical traditions online. Its liike $25 a jar but they usually have sales. But i might stop buying from there and just get it from GNC for like $10 (If i remember correctly). and i use the liquid soad from dr. bronners (lavender). can get it at target, whole foods (im sure) vitamin shoppe/gnc or vitacost.com.
