What is your skincare routine like? (lemmy.world)

I have terrible skin and have always wanted to follow a basic skincare routine, but thanks to ADHD I am lucky if I remember to even splash water on my face in the morning. Usually I will buy a product, use it a few times, then get bored of it and forget it exists. So I'm curious, what are your skincare routines like? How did you get them started? Are there specific products or types of products that make it easier?

Micellar water is your friend. Find some reusable cotton rounds, put micellar water on one, take the nastiness off your face without a sink. It it perfect? No. Better than nothing? Yes. I wash my face in the shower every morning. Would it be better if I did it with lukewarm water over the sink? Yes. Would that happen? 🤣🤣🤣. And the only way I remember SPF is by putting it at the core of a morning makeup routine. I can see whether I put on lipstick; can’t really see or feel my face SPF. (Etude Sunprise Mild SPF 50+++. Not for dry skin.). Visual reminders are great.
