Is this a bad time to ask this question?

- I clean my face with unscented castile soap while using a cleansing tool that is called a Foreo Luna.
- After that, I double clean my face with a raw herb. Which basically is what you would think it is, it’s a plant, but crushed up to a fine powder. You can also use oats and grains, like oatmeal, cornmeal, wheatgerm. Right now, I’m using peppermint herbs. The main point is that it has to crushed up to a fine powder because if it’s not it won’t work as well and it actually will cause demage.
- I don’t use the cleansing tool with this. I just use my hands.
- The whole process between the first and second cleanse takes me two minutes.
- After that I spray my face with a floral hydrosol. Currently, I’m using violet floral water.
- While my face is still wet, I apply something called an essence. Which is basically like a hydrosol, but with oil added to it. So, my essence is cocoa essence water mixed with grapeseed oil.
- My face still should be wet, at this point I apply my serum. Which is a combination of oils; red raspberry seed oil, wheatgerm, and carrot seed oil. Actually, I don’t currently have carrot seed. So, I don’t have that oil mixed in, but normally I mix it in.
- I apply my eye cream with is castor oil. Sometimes I mix other oils, like grapeseed and whatnot. But, mostly… it’s castor oil.
- Then I apply a raw butter. The one I’m currently using is raw avocado butter.
- The reason why I want my face to still be wet is because all the oils… steep into the skin deeper and faster when the skin is wet.
- I top it off with coconut oil on my lips.
- If I’m wearing makeup, it’s pretty much the same thing… with one added step… right at the very beginning.
(-1) In my room, I rub my face with coconut oil and then wipe it off with some cloths that I bought from an Etsy shop. They’re really good. They take off all the makeup. They’re gentle. So, they work. After that… all the other steps are the same. - Now, I don’t do this routine everyday and night. I do it when I need it. For me, It seems like my face needs a cleansing three times or so a week. So, for the rest of the week, I don’t do anything to my face. Basically, I’m doing the Caveman Regimen part of the week. This is where you’re basically not doing anything to your skin.
- I prefer to cleanse at night for the most part. So, I don’t normally do it in the mornings because I’m just too tired, too cold (no one wants to be near water when they’re cold), too lazy, and I don’t have time, even though this doesn’t take long at all. But, if I do happen to take a shower in the morning, I do cleanse then. Like I said… it’s whenever I think my skin needs it.
- Definately, products change due to me trying out homemade remedies. But, I do tend to stick to these products.
—————
For my extended routine, which I already kind of explained in my pampering routine… it’s pretty much the same as my routine above, just with like two added steps.
- The same.
- The same.
- I used to dermaroll and I still have a dermaroller. But, I don’t ever use it. So, honestly I always skip this step.
- Apply floral toner.
- Apply a homemade mask, such as a clay mask.
- Hop in the shower when it dries, remove it, and basically do everything the same after number 3. Basically, apply the floral toner a second time and go from there. So, like I said… it’s really just two or so added steps. Not too many big changes.
And that’s everything.
Honestly, people don’t need to do all of this. I don’t need to do this. My skin is fine. But, I really like beauty. Particularly skincare. So, it’s fun.

Exfoliate three times a week with St Ives apricot scrub.
Shave daily with Nivea for Men shaving cream.
Moisturize daily with Clinique for Men.
I don't use a facial wash because it dries my skin.
