Yess @sinead I'm wondering the same as pria, how long does that usually take you.? & could you give a bit more detail on the products I'm interested in using them.

I use makeup remover wipes. Then I brush my teeth and wash my face. I switch between using Lush's Ultra Bland and Guinot Cleansing Foam as night time facial cleansers. Maybe 2 - 3 nights a week, I'll use a face mask from Lush and I do that before using the facial cleanser.  :)

I take all of my makeup off with makeup remover wipes (these make my life so much easier, but if I don't use remover wipes, I use an oil or lotion based make up remover- because some of them can be too drying for my skin), I apply bio oil all over my face/neck/chest in like a thicker layer on the most important parts like my cheeks/under eyes/nose/forehead (bio oil is really moisturizing if you have dry skin/ or will stop your own oil production if you have naturally oily skin anyways- and this evens out skin tone/redness/imperfections, prevents signs of aging and wrinkles, and completely fixes scars or stretchmarks- this is seriously a miracle in a bottle!), I also brush my teeth & scrub my lips with my toothbrush too (it works great to exfoliate your lips- and some night's I use my crest white strips on my teeth a half hour before I brush them- they whiten more if they're not used directly after you just brushed your teeth, but make sure you brush them after) & I coat my lips in a plain white petroleum chap-stick, and lastly I use any plain white lotion on the rough parts on my body (elbows, hands/knuckles, knees, feet) and only those parts- wait a few minutes and then apply a gradual tanner all over my body except for my face. The two best gradual self tanners I've ever used & use daily, are Jergens Three-Day Glow and Coppertone gradual self tanner (both of these don't have that nasty tanning smell, with very even natural brown not orange- coloring, and I prefer the Coppertone one because it's a bigger size for the price and the color doesn't get splotchy after a few days of wearing it; but that's just me. And once a week I will apply a hair masque to leave in overnight, my favorite one to use is by Hair Chemist Macadamia Oil. I don't use this more than once a week because it has protein in it and using too much protein on your hair can have reverse effects, and the bottle will say to only use it for 3-5 minutes; but I get much better results leaving it in for an hour or overnight. I know some of these aren't really considered a "beauty routine", but this is just my every-night routine.
Then when I wake up I exfoliate with St. Ives green tea scrub & moisturize with a sensitive skin lotion (like gold bond ultimate healing lotion) wait until that dries and then apply my primer - my skin is very dry naturally so the serum-primer I use doubles as an all day moisturizer as well! I use Monistat's Chafing Relief powder gel, let dry and apply my makeup as I normally would! xoxo

I wash my face with Lancôme face wash and one if those rubber 360 loreal face cleaners. Then I dry it, and apply witch hazel toner to get rid of any last makeup. I I'm feeling motivated I apply a night eye cream. That's it! I exfoliate with St Ives ever few days and alternate that with a clay mask every few days. I also like to throw a honey mask in too. Oh and right before bed I put in a thin layer of garnier skin renew night peel.

1. Remove my makeup with grapeseed oil [Let the oil sit on your face for 30 seconds with a warm wash cloth on top]
2. Wipe [Comes off supppeeerrr easy. I don't like using wipes as they never work for me and I have to scrub and tug, which you aren't supposed to do to your eyes]
3. Wash face with african black soap [Dudu Osan brand]
OR
Exfoliate then soap
4. Hop in the shower
5. Apply shea butter and oil mixture all of my body, eyes, lips [Shea butter, coconut oil, sesame oil, and grapseed oil. Will keep your moisturized well into the next day! I haven't had a problem with chapped lips since putting this on at night. I wake up and my lips are perfectly hydrated]
6. Brush my teeth
7. Go to sleep!

When I wake up I wash my face with warm water (some mornings the black soap again), apply my shea butter mixture, and either apply my makeup or just head out the door.

Take my makeup off using "Coles 4 in 1 Facial Wipes" (cleanser, toner, makeup remover & moisturiser)
Then apply a generous amount of "Vaseline total moisture aloe fresh 24 hr nourishing lotion" to my face and neck.
Use my homemade lip exfoliator (vaseline petrolium jelly, honey, cinnemon & sugar)
Brush my hair and teeth.
Then go to bed.
Every other night I'll put vaseline on my lashes (when I remember)

I'm pretty boring lol. But my skin is in pretty good shape so I don't need to do a lot.
