I feel like the St Ives scrub worked for a bit for me and then just stopped.
I have a scrub from Colourpop that I'll use maybe 1-2 a week just so I can exfoliate my skin.

Have you tried getting like a set just made for combo skin?
I know some brands have bundles that are specfically made for types of skin?
Also ELF has some affordable products for skincare. I've tried some of them and they're pretty good.

@Ava:
I'd see how your skin is after quitting the job honestly.
My last job I didn't have skin issues but I was getting sick and throwing up almost every day before work and not doing it when I had days off. It could be stress.

I used to use St Ives face scrub but then I realized its a scrub and it was slicing up my face with those micro tears. It was the apricot scrub im pretty sure.
I wish I knew more about skincare to recommend some products. I usually use the cremeshop products for my skin and it hasn't done me super wrong yet.

@totalanimefan:
Seriously though. I'm not an expert at skincare but I do feel like most of these brands can be cruelty free. I would assume it's not that hard though.
I feel like Target at least makes an effort to carry more cruelty free brands which is great.

@stinky:
It could be.
Never thought of it that way.

@stinky:
I didn't know that either.
I feel like I have combo skin. My face is dry but my eyelids also get oily. it's kind of weird lol.

I usually use a hand cream especially if I'm washing my hands a lot. I've been using Bath and Body Works body cream for lotion lately for my hands and body. It's pretty good and smells super yummy.

@totalanimefan:
Yeah that bottle is super pretty. I might try and reuse it for something.
And I agree. I'm glad more brands are starting to go cruelty free honestly.

@totalanimefan:
This is the facial oil that I was using.

I should find one and try it out. I mostly use cruelty free brands so as much as I want to try that garnier one, I'ma have to find something different.

@totalanimefan:
Yeah, I'ma find a sunscreen soon.
I just hardly go outside anyways so I'ma barely use it but it's good to have.

I use the cleanser 1-2x a day. Once in the morning and at night.
I've actually never used a cleansing water before but I want to try it out.
I actually ran out of facial oil. The oil was for my fiancee but they hardly used the damn skincare I bought them lol.
I need to do another cremeshop order soon though.

@stinky:
I wear makeup from time to time but I try and take it off once I'm done. I know that not taking your makeup off can lead to getting acne and all that.
Although the last time I wore makeup I left it on overnight by accident XD.
I don't think my cleanser has salicylic acid in it but idk why its been drying my skin out.
The mask I did last night really helped but I still feel tiny bumps but that could be the texture of my skin lol.

@totalanimefan:
I really need to buy some sunscreen.
I'm black so half the time I'm like nah I don't need sunscreen I have all the protection I need but I do need it XD

I use this cleanser by cremeshop. I do like their products a bunch but the previous cleanser that I was using they took it off the site for some reason. I tried their jelly mylk cleanser and I think because it was in gel form it dried my skin out a bunch. I've noticed that foam/cream cleansers work the best for me personally. I'll have to check if it has salicylic acid in it because that could have been the reason why my skin was dry.

I also will use a face oil and then a hydrating mist (also got these at cremeshop but I also bought some facial mists by E.L.F). I'll sometimes use a moisturizer but I really haven't found a good one that I like. From time to time, I will use an overnight gel mask from cremeshop and do a face mask.

@bonnie:
You're very welcome!

It's been forever since I did any type of skincare like face masks, eye masks, scrubs, etc. It's just so refreshing and it's really a good way to do self care.
Right now I'm doing a face mask. It's a fusion sheet mask (caffe and mocha). I really missed doing them. I think I'm also going to do a lip mask tonight as well.
Usually, I've just been using my cleanser everyday and that's it but my face has been so dry and flaky lately that I think I need to incorporate it and start a routine again.

What's your skincare routine and/or any tips to share for dry skin or just in general for skincare?
