My simplified skincare routine (travel-friendly, minimalist & husband-approved)

[@MaggiFuchs]

😅Here is a behind the scenes fun-fact: I guess that video is not the best to judge the quality of my skin… It was a sunny, hot day here in Spain and I had to turn off the aircon and ventilator when I filmed this. So as the room gets hotter and hotter, I get more and more red and puffier and sweatier during the video… 😂 But, it is what it is… 🤷‍♀

Olay Cleansing Melts. One inch squares that you put in palm of hand, add a little water to activate foam, and rub hands together to create lather and wash face. It’s a solid product so it doesn’t have to go into liquids bag. Olay introduced them this year so they are fairly new.

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thanks for the tip - sounds very interesting! I haven’t seen them around here yet - hope they release them over here soon. :)

Yes! I have Dove in Brooklyn,NY…unfortunately, many varieties which take 3 shelves! Seriously, soooo many. I will try using for body and face for the Camino de Portugal. 😊

[@MaggiFuchs]

I saw online that there are lots of varieties - here in Europe I only came across the one that I showed in the video. Enjoy the camino de Portugal - you are going to hike it? :)

[@MaggiFuchs]

That’s awesome! Hope you have a good camino! :)

[@lydiaornot]

You look amazing!!!! For me it's Vit C, & Sunscreen in the morning and a simple moisturizer and tretinoin in the evening, sometimes a Cicaplast baume if my skin acts up or is very dry. (and genetics plays a role, too. My mom has consistently looked 10-15 years younger than her age)

Belated Happy Birthday, I would never pegged you as 40, so you are doing something right 🙂 My beauty tip is to drink plenty of water for clear skin - but I am male 😂

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thank you… 😂 Your beauty tip is something that I am struggling with - I am terrible in drinking water. It’s easier to just smear some chemicals on my face… 😂

@@MaggiFuchs It is working for you, so keep it up 🙂

[@ureal-m5o]

I'm in France and yes we have the Dove beauty bar there. :) I like other brands though. For the face I use a "dermatological bar" and for the body a normal soap. Last one I've been into is a "savon de Marseille" with a very clean composition. I also use some organic solid soap sometimes.

Still impressed by the 'non-reflective glasses' :)

Nachträglich alles Gute zum Geburtstag! 🎉😊 Brennt die Dove Beauty Bar in den Augen? Ein Grund, warum ich immer noch mein flüssiges Waschgel abfülle, ist, dass es so mild ist, dass ich es auch als Augen-Makeup-Entferner nutzen kann (für wasserlösliche Mascara), aber ein fester Ersatz, der ebenfalls als ein 2-in-1 Produkt dient, wäre wirklich großartig. LG Theresa

[@MaggiFuchs]

Vielen Dank! Nein, bis jetzt ist es mir nicht irgendwie negativ aufgefallen. Ich benutze es auch, um meinen wasserlöslichen Mascara abzuwaschen und hab bisher kein Brennen bemerkt. Ich hab aber die Augen noch nicht unabsichtlich aufgemacht - also keine Ahnung, wie es dann aussieht… 😅

[@joycem2795]

We have the Dove Beauty Bar in the U.S. Another great option is Cerave Hydrating Bar, bar soap that moisturizes. Beauty of Joseon makes a solid sunscreen stick that is great on face and around the eyes.

[@ixchel231]

Great routine! I couldn't get the link for the soap saver poach it is the same as the netted one.

[@MaggiFuchs]

I am not sure what netted ones are, but they are just those cheap soap saver bags out of Nylon. I like them more than the sisal ones, because they dry much faster. :)

I use the Dove beauty bar - great non-liquid option. I find the scent a little much so I use the Dove sensitive skin unscented bar. Doesn't conflict with other scents I may be wearing.

[@MaggiFuchs]

I saw online that there are different options of the bar, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find it here yet. But I will definitely get one when I come across it. I think if I had the choice, I would also prefer the unscented bar. :)

[@jacquelinekember1761]

[@LisaNix2]

My skincare routine is very much like yours. Only main difference for me is I also use G&G vitamin C in the mornings before my sunscreen.

[@missmayflower]

I find retinol always migrates into my eyes and causes bad irritation.

[@catobubnikowicz9959]

To get sunscreen to not get in your eyes you can set it with a bit of face powder (or if super pale even baby powder/cornstarch).

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely try that. How exactly do you apply it? First sunscreen and then the powder on top? 🤔

[@catobubnikowicz9959]

@@MaggiFuchs Hi Maggi. yes, I put sunscreen all over my face, let it dry a bit, then take a small fluffy brush and gently pat it into a bit of powder then glide it under my eye, then close my eye to swirl it over the eyelid. I do both eyes and the powder the T-zone. Love your videos!

[@lisaf-d1616]

I use the G&G Retinal A-Game 10- love it! After you use a couple of bottles of 5 try the 10!

[@MaggiFuchs]

I was thinking about that. :) Just out of curiosity: I read that the 10 doesn’t absorb as nicely into the skin as the 5 - is this something that you noticed as well?

[@LisaNix2]

@@MaggiFuchs I don’t remember this but it was a couple of years since I started using the 10. The 10 is twice as strong as the 5 which is more helpful for our skin. ☺️ since I also only use it at night that is not so important to me either. The 10 absorbers ok for me☺️

[@kerik6067]

Dove is readily available in the United States, but it is not that inexpensive. It is the only soap I use though.

[@lynneeie5226]

I admit I am somewhat haphazard & lazy with my skin care. I have «young skin» for 55, but it is catching up to me now. I notice changes. So I learned quite a bit about consistency from you. I like the Dove bars & I just learned I may be able to buy them here at a Meny store 🤞🏻. I usually use Cerave, the green one, and then I use avocado oil on face & body. And that’s it. Soap in the shower tho in the evening and then avocado oil. I was using a sunscreen more consistently this summer, also 50 spf & I should add that back in. Sometimes I try different moisturizers, but I always go back to an oil. I feel like it absorbs & also usually I grow calendula - so I make my own face oil with calendula. Most years - not this one! I have never tried a facial peel or rather… I think I did, long ago. Origins made one & it smelled like apricots - but I am not sure it exists anymore. I do have some rosacea so sometimes I have to use a cream my dermatologist gave me - but one tube has lasted me ummm too long! I do not usually wear makeup - but I noticed my dark circles more after 53/4 and so sometimes I use a little coverup. But again - very little. I squeezed some into a contact container and it lasted all 11 weeks when I was away taking care of my mother. So 🤷🏼‍♀️☺️😂 …. that said, I may need to test out your method! I would like to age «gracefully» so it is worth being a little careful.

[@MaggiFuchs]

I was thinking of trying to use oil again in the winter as a moisturizer. When it’s cold, I don’t like the water-based stuff to much. Makes my face freeze… 😂 And from my limited understanding, a cream is just an oil-base and a water-base whipped together… It’s so cool that you make your own with Calendula. I see no reason why some chemical compound bought in a store should be any better than that - and as long as it works for your skin, it’s perfect imho.

[@lynneeie5226]

😂Advantages to only travelling a few times a year…. my garden & calendula flowers 😂👍🏻👍🏻 But I have been mulling over trying to be more dedicated while putting the garden to bed for the winter 🙈😳Not ready!

Mineral sunscreens are known to not cause problems on people’s eyes.😄 Isdin makes some beautiful sunscreens and they are from Spain 1:😄

[@MaggiFuchs]

I tried the Isdin Magic Fusion Water (not sure what the name was). Really liked the consistency and how it felt on my face, but it also crawled into my eye. But I saw that they have a Mineral version as well - maybe I can pick one up before I leave Spain and give it a try. 👍

[@LoraM484]

If you always travel with your retinol and serum, I'd say it would be a good idea to look fro a fragrance-free option for them to avoid issues in the long run. For skincare advice I can really recommend to check out Dr Dray here on KZbin - since I started watching her a few year ago and started following her recommendations my skin has been great (fragrane-free and a minimal number of prodcuts).

I never would have pegged you for 40. Stick to saying you're 27. At 50, I still have awful acne. I use Dr. Bronner's tea tree castile soap to wash.

[@MaggiFuchs]

I don’t know anything about you or your situation, so I hope this doesn’t come across as condenscending or something. It’s just a friendly suggestion of someone who was in a similar situation. :) But have you ever looked into your nutrition? I really had TERRIBLE acne until ~12 years ago. I tried every product and doctor but nothing helped me. Then I figured out that I have an food allergy, and since I removed a few things from my diet, my skin cleared up.

[@Kiki-D-Kimono]

@MaggiFuchs not at all, love. I've tried eliminating different foods over the years, at different times in my life but haven't received much relief.
