Do you have particular beauty routine or you are just a wash and wear type of person?
Personally speaking I am not too particular with beauty routines, no make ups unless I have to attend some important occasion and there's a need to apply some, no long long bath soaking in hot tub unless I want to de-stress and just relax and most especially no facial cleaning blues like astringent, moisturizers and the like just plain facial scrub and that's it. I only apply moisturizer when really needed on hasty temperatures here.
For me being hygienic is the most important thing. There's really no big need for many skin rituals which I find to be so time consuming. With all due respect to those who love to pamper themselves and have specific rituals for their over all head to toe rejuvenation. But i admit on enjoying a great time in spa, doing some facials, massage, body scrub, foot scrub and all from time to time.
One routine though that I don't fail to do is to apply lotion to avoid stretchmarks and give my skin good elasticity. Palmers is a good brand for pregnant women for their special prenatal and post natal products. Sabon on the other hand has special mother and baby products also.

I have not tried these, think I have saved a lot from these, but not much richer at the end.
I am like you, I guess I have no time to really indulge on all those beauty regimen. I only use lotion after my bath, my skin gets really really dry. I have already tried the St Ives, I like their product !
Well, I have my beauty routine to wash myself everyday!It's great!
purrs and love
Luna
mrs bb uses nothing but soap, hair shampoo n toothpaste..,. yes believe it.. such a person still exists in this world :)
oh yeah! like every Eve in this planet i, too, have my beauty regime...lol!
st ives, invigorating facial scrub tops the list followed by nivea Q10...can't do without these 2...lol!
Hi sweetie! I finally got around to adding ur lovely blog to my blog list, u know me ...huge procrastinator! LOL!!!
I too have a pretty simple beauty regime. No make-up for me too. I stopped spending too much time in front of the mirror once I had my son. No time! LOL
I use Plamer's Cocoa Butter during my pregnancy. Love them! :)
Fortunately, I was diligent in applying moisturizing lotion to my tummy during my pregnancy,so as to avoid stretchmarks. :)
Yeahhhhhh......
A girl post I love it :-)
Thanks !!
mine is a very simple routine..
i am so like you Ayie, no time for routines, hygiene is the best thing :)
i have no time for make-up as well :(
belated happy thanksgiving, sorry if I was not able to return your greeting soon. Will try to give you a call one of these days. Hope all is well.
I don't spend time to indulge in this routine! I only apply lotion after a shower, and I'm done!
with age catching up, i need to adhere to strict beauty regimes. HA! i'm constantly striving to maintain a youthful appearance and flawless skin.
i meet a lot of people daily and appearance plays an important part in our lives.
i apply simple make up to work. it's a girl thing. :)
Rainfield,
Same here just additional. I do it also since it's something I can relate with the thoughts I want to share here.
Chay,
I also loved St. Ives. It was recommended for my use before my wedding after the make up artist analyzed my facial skin type and suggested what can further improve it for the upcoming event. Since then I've been using it up to now. Lotion is a must here, very low humidity so very dry.
Luna,
it's important to wash everyday =)
Bengbeng,
I was also like that until I moved here. Lotion now is a must or else you'll not like a scaly looking skin!
Eng,
We practically use the same products but I only use nivea facial moisturizer when my face is really dry. I don't like putting too much on my face.
Mariuca,
It's ok sweetie, we all have our busy time. Thanks for adding me up. I'm always pleased to see you here too.
Lina,
I will get started fixing up myself again in time. Me and bestie promised each other we'll be beautiful moms in the future! lol
Lina,
Palmer's Cocoa Butter too? I love those products too! Still having little stretches here and there but it looks like it helps so much in maintaining my not so elastic skin! hehe
ECL,
I will take note of that coz I sometimes feel lazy. =P
Anya,
Hahaha, sometimes that side tries to come out of me. =P
Wenn,
The simpler the better! That worked for me too before.
Betchai,
Oh you received my sms? great! It's ok don't worry. I just wanted to greet people.
Icy,
Just lotion for me too most especially for my growing belly! lol
Ramblings,
You still look so young! I apply make up but very minimal and only on occasions but back on the younger days I was more "girlie" with those stuffs =P
I love St. Ives products, they work so well on me! :)
Have a great week ahead sweetie. I hope ur resting well and keeping busy till the baby comes. :)
Marzie,
St. Ives for you too? Yey! Their products are great! I rested pretty well this weekend and din't mind houseworks this time. My tummy feels heavier now so I don't like moving around so much doing hard strenous chores. Thanks sweetie! hugs!
i am not keen with facial products as well, but i use them because my skin is dry. same goes for lotion, i have been using johnson's. :)
Levian,
I just use when needed too.
I am really lousy in looking after myself :P.
I use almost anything when I want to... no particular stuffs... my skin have a bad thing, once it gets too used to an item, it no longer has effect :P. So yea haha.
LadyV,
Same here so i have to change items for rotation
last time, i was wash and wear type.. but now.. my skin is getting more and more terrible.. T.T
so.. i will go buy some product, applied layer and layer "things" on my face.. T^T
Donna,
Signs of aging? hehehe just kidding girl! I'm way older than you i believe.
Well, I don't put on any make up, haha! And I don't follow the cleanse, toning and moisturising steps in skin care. I only cleanse with face gels. That's it! : )
Oh, and of course I indulge in body scrub and massage once in a while : )
Foong,
I remember your dove post before! Body scrub and massage is great, I love doing that in spa.
