Thirteen Things I Use in My Beauty Regimen
1. Proactiv Solution. This three step skin care system does everything it says it will. I didn't try it until I was in my first year of law school, and even then my mom had to make me because I was so skeptical. I've used it ever since. It really does work and it really is consistent.
2. bareMinerals. I just started using this a few weeks ago. I couldn't get a liquid foundation that also had a UVA/UVB sunscreen to cover the discolorations I have before I used Proactiv. This works, also against my skeptiskim, and my husband goes on and on about how beautiful and natural my skin looks.
3. Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock. Its light and airy and doesn't leave you feeling as if you are slathered in grease. It really does cool, just like the label says, so I love to use it to cool down after a nice hot shower. I am able to cover my entire body in sunscreen everyday in less than 1 minute, thus protecting against skin cancer and wrinkles.
4. Origins, A Perfect World for Eyes. I can't tell if this stuff is working yet, but it sure is fun to play with skin care stuff and the sales pitch sure is convincing.
5. Origins, A Perfect World White Tea Skin Guardian. Same as #4, except I also put this on my neck.
6. Origins, A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisurizer with White Tea. This product is supposed to work with numbers 4 & 5 to provide the most benefit from environmental damage to the skin.
7. Vaseline Intensive Care Renewal Age Redefining Body Lotion. Lately, my skin just itches off from dryness and this stuff is cheap, isn't tested on animals, and stops my itching.
8. Colgate Total toothpaste, a Crest SpinBrush, and floss. This combo keeps the plaque factory I call teeth under control and trips to the dentist non-eventful.
9. Bare Escentuals wandless mascara. Not tested on animals and leaves no clumps once you get the hang of having no bristles on the wand.
10. Origins eyeliner.
11. Origins Underwear for Lids eyeshadow in. I used to be quite loud with my eye makeup and then toned it down after living in D.C. This is the perfect neutral shade.
12. Origins, Checks and Balances. This has a fun foamy lather and doesn't strip my skin so I use it to take my makeup off before using my Proactiv.
13. ACT anticavitiy mouthwash.

You go girl! That's quite a list. I jotted down some suggestions from your list. Thanks for coming by.
Very good. I saved a few links. I've been wanting to try BareMinerals. I'm going to have to give it a try. I have the dry/oily problem and have a horrible time with foundation.
I used to use ProActive. It was great! But for some reason it stopped working for me after a few months. The same thing happens with every treatment I try. Ugh! I hate my zitty face. I never had this problem in high school. Hate it!
(Oh! I'v linked you up!)
My 13 are up!
Awesome list! I saved a few links. My TT are up now too!
Loved your list! great tips. I should share the Crest link with my son, who avoids flossing, lol!
It doesn't matter what I do...I still get zits. Oh, well. LOL
I like your list - pretty original!
Wow - you spend alot on your skin. Guess what I use on my skin? Nothing. Just eyeliner and lipstick for me. Never had a skin problem either, knock on wood.
I put your link on my TT - which is up, btw.
Smiles,
Chrissie
You're an inspiration.
I wondered about ProActive. Here (in Australia) it's pretty new. We get infomercials about it at about 3am with Jessica Simpson and Alicia Keys raving about it. I wondered if it was all hype. Now I know it's as good as everyone says.
Thanks for visting my 13.
I LOVE BareMinerals!
You are one good looking chick. I USED to be, need to take care of myself better these days.
My T13 are up! ;)
Blimey! That's some beauty list :) I just cleanse and moisturise. Oh I have a regular facial too - a girl needs to pampered, eh?
My TT is up!

Wow that's a lot of stuff... I use water... no makeup... well, a little lip gloss now and then... but I live in the middle of nowhere with no one to see...

A really good idea for a list. Now I need to go to sephora! :)
My list is up

Wow. I use soap & water. :) Happy TT!
That is a great list. I might have to try the bare escentiuals one of these days.
Great list! I love my Crest Spinbrush too. LOL
Have a great day!
Wow....I use bareMinerals too! I absolutely LOVE it. It is amazing how well it covers and how great it looks. There is a little bit of a learning curve with it but once you get the hang of it, it is FABULOUS!
Thanks for stopping by my T13.
I don't know if I even have 13 skin care things I use. I would have to think on that awhile... I haven't figured out how to post that on my xanga. See you Monday!
so many products, how do you find the time!
But I bet you have the best skin!
thanks for visiting my TT
Daughter #3 is your new fan because you have as she says a chi-hooa-hooa!
I think I'm gonna check out the neutrogena fresh cooling body mist for summertime. Thanks for the helpful tips. :)
No brisles on the wand? I can't even imagine doing that. I think I'd get it all over.
Great idea for a list!
...my list is up:)
I wish I could use ProActiv, or makeup at all.
With the ProActiv, I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide. And makeup just makes my face break out.
I use Olay Regenerist now.
Happy Thursday!!
Oh, I love Bare Minerals - having been using it for years! I love playing with beauty products, too.
WoW! It must take you HOURS to get ready in the morning! I use the crest spinny toothbrushes too -- they're fun! The kids love 'em too.
Mine are up!
I have no such list.
But yours was impressive.
My 13 is busy working on it's new health and beauty routine over at http://akaenigma.blogspot.com/
I don't think I'd go to that much work, but even though I don't use BareMinerals, I've seen some incredible results on other people. One gal in our Bible study brought hers in one day and demo'd it because everyone asked her how she got her skin to look so terrific.
One of the benefits of getting older is usually your skin clears up after 50.
I have a chihuahua grandpuppy.
Thanks for visiting my TT.
Quite a list!! LOL I must be a fairly lazy woman!! I'll jot some of those down and try to save my skin...
;)
I love BareMinerals! I started using it about a year ago, I use the foundation, mineral veil, blush and eye shadows...love it!!! I have gotten more compliments on the way my makeup looks since I began wearing it than ever before! So, you know I'm sticking with it! LOL I'll have to try the mascara!
Thanks for visiting my 13 today! Happy Thursday!
Very nice - thanks for some great info. I might have to try a few of those.
My 13 are up!
HA~! i totally use the ACT anticavity rinse, too. otherwise, my teeth are just itching to make cavities. i don't know why.
in any case, it was so interesting to see your 'regimen' and what works for you!
my 13 are up, too!
I feel so non-beautiful now...lol! I really need to do more with my skin. You have inspired me :)
I can't believe you actually could think of 13 different things that you use. I feel very un-girly now. :)
That's interesting. I don't have much of a beauty regimen, and none that I follow faithfully, so I may take a few of your suggestions for my own. I've been meaning to do something about that for a while anyway.
I love Bare Minerals. Just started using it in February and am so impressed with it that I want to order some blushes and eye shadows, too.
And I used to "steal" my son's Proactiv when I had breakouts. I found that it smoothed those fine wrinkles as well as sped up the zit-healing process.
That was an awesomely helpful list! Thanks!
I don't think you can get Bareminerals here in NZ I will have to check it out in August when I am in the States.
My TT list is up finally.
I have been wanting to buy some bare get some bare escentuals but haven't. I didn't know anyone that used it. I don't currently use anything for a beauty regimen... but wanted to try this mainly to even out my skin pigment and such as I do have freckles. Maybe I should try it! Did you know you can buy it on ebay for a fraction of the cost?
Thanks for the visit!
I've heard good stuff about BareMinerals. I'll have to try it some time. :)
I always wondered about that proactiv stuff... I might have to give it a whirl...I've never tried the Origins line...I'm allergic to everything under the sun, so have to stick with Clinique for now. thanks for the tips. Thanks for visiting my TT too..Stacie
wow, you have a lot of comments here. I read on the back of a book recently that men have 6 items in their bathrooms and that women have over 300 and men can't name half of them. We women have a lot of things we have to do to maintain our beauty.
Just visiting via Colleen's. I loved your name...we have 3 dogs. 2 black lab pups and a golden retriever/collie mix.
I agree with you on the ProActive...it really works. Once a month my chin would get these awful breakouts from hormone flux. and the ProActive is the only thing that has every really kept it at bay.
Love your list.. I did mine on the same thing today!
Gonna try some of yours!
I use ProActiv.. have for a couple of years.. and got BareMinerals in the mail today! YIPPEE!
Good list. :)
