What are your favourite skincare products and rituals?

They can be cheap and cheerful pharmacy faves, or embarrassingly extravagant...

Got a serum or moisturiser you swear by?

An aging-well hack for happy skin?

Something that helps with peri/post menopause dry skin?

An indulgent face mask for your "me time"?

What can you not be without, and what has worked or not worked for you?

My current essential is cetraben ointment... it's bog standard and definetly no frills, but as I'm back on tretinoin its saved my skin from the dry, itchy, flakey stage, and the bonus is that it works on my bf's horrific scaly dry feet

My splurge is NIODs low viscosity cleansing ester, its the weirdest thing to clean your face with but it removes all the crap, and doesn't dry my skin. It feels 'oily' but isn't and my next products apply really well...its just really weird stuff

Always wear a moisturizer or bb cream with sunblock every day. My dermatologist swears by it and she has the skin of someone twenty years younger.

I used to use expensive acne face wash until I discovered bioderma shower oil, I first got it because the winters leave me dry and itchy but it's been amazing on my face, too. It's expensive for a body wash but incredible for a face wash, plus I don't get dry and itchy anymore. After that I use a light combination skin toner, spf 30 moisturizer with retinol, then a light foundation plus mineral powder if I'm going out.

I only use aloe moisturizer everywhere else. People say I look young for my age, so it must be working.

Which aloe moisturiser do you use? I was looking into them once for body care but was put off as a lot of them were aloe powder based and I thought they wouldn't be any good

I get life brand aloe moisturizer with vitamin E lately but I used to make my own with 97% aloe gel, vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
