Skincare routines with:
The Ordinary Advanced Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

Standard routine

this is more of my wintertime routine as my skin is combination and the dry areas tend to become pretty dry but mostly extremely sensitive. my summer routine tends to be less moisturising. In the mornings I don't always use micellar water but if I feel I need to I use Bioderma Sensibio Cleansing Micellar Water. I adore my niacinamide serum, which I use before my moisturiser, I don't use it every day just if I think my skin needs a nourishing boost. aside from that my morning routine is pretty simple. However, my nighttime skincare tends to be more complicated. I like to structure which days I use my products as a lot of them have quite harsh ingredients. My Once-a-week PM products I alternate nights as follows; night 1: my everyday PM routine night 2: the cleansing balm, glycolic acid and hyaluronic then moisturise night 3: my everyday PM routine night 4: my everyday PM routine night 5: cleansing balm, retinol, hyaluronic, moisturise night 6: my everyday PM routine night 7: my everyday PM routine Following on from, that I switch to using either the glycolic acid or the bha aha solution, not both it just depends on if I think my skin can handle the aha bha that day. As for the acnecide cream I just use that on days I feel I need it and I'm not putting any other harsh products on my skin to avoid irritation. Aside from that, I use the mask before bed every Sunday (night 7), if using that mask I will only cleanse before and then use it, I don't add hyaluronic acid (as the mask contains plenty of it) or moisturiser on top unless I feel I need to.
