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

My skin (and hair!) "care" is purely Aleppo soap, proper hydration, and enough protein in my diet to keep my skin from going papery.

I thought they stopped making Aleppo soap due to the conflict in Syria? They usually have it on the soap stall at the Christmas market, but its been absent for several years now

It was nice though when I bought some, unfortunately these days I need extra moisture

I can get hold of Marseille soap, which is sort of similar, I have a massive cube for washing my brushes and art equipment 😀

It's all over the place here in China. I suspect that it's been stopped being imported in the Americas.

The stuff I'm using is 3-year aged mixed olive/safflower oil. (The really purest grade is nothing but olive, but I've tried both and actually prefer the one with safflower as well.)

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.
