Kinda wish I could cross-post comments, but for those that didn't see the !mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone post, here's my comment from there:
Body:
Face
Wake-up
Bedtime
(yes, this has differences)
Self love days
(days I have off and want to do a little extra)
Hair (bonus!!!)
I wash my hair once every 3-4 days (so twice a week). At night, I put my hair in a bun to preserve it, and since I shower in the "morning" (for me), I'll leave it in the bun and put a shower cap on. I have somewhere between 1B and 1C hair (medium-high density) with a wolf cut, for reference
Wash days
Non wash days
And that's my routine! It looks very complicated, I'm sure, but I have it all down to a science at this point. Everything is routine, and I organize my products so I know which one to do next without having to think abt it. Everything has its place! My skin loves me for how I treat it, so I'm happy to go through every step in my routine. It feels so good to do skincare, bc it really is "me time". I'm doing so much just to treat myself well, and it works! I've had problems with cystic acne for years (especially on my body and neck), but at least since starting my face routine, my face doesn't really get breakouts anymore (unless I miss some makeup lol)! I may add a body serum to my repertoire at some point soon and see if that helps.
Anyways, hope u found this helpful! It's a lot, but I love my routine!
