Your skin tone/coloring: NC35
Favorite facial mist? Don’t use one
Favorite toner? I have Murad, the acne one, but I don’t use it regularly
Favorite skincare treatment? LOVE Murad’s Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel. Not only does it help keep breakouts at bay, it gently exfoliates leaving my skin looking fresh, never dull-even in winter.
Your skin tone/coloring: Olive fair
Favorite facial mist: MAC FIX+
Favorite toner: Embryolisse Lotion Micellaire and Silk Naturals 2% BHA Toner
Favorite skincare treatment: Sulfur Mask doesn’t matter which brand they’re all great but the higher the percentage the better. Currently using up my Proactiv Refining Mask then using the Murad Clarifying Mask next. For daytime treatment Nutragena Rapid Clear 2-in-1 Fight & Fade Gel. Salicylic Acid (Aspirin) Mask.
@Ani_BEE
I love the sulfur masks too. Murad’s is great and they also make a sulfur spot treatment.
Your skin tone/coloring: pink, reddish
Favorite facial mist? MyChelle Fruit Enzyme Mist
Favorite toner? Dr. Denese Pore Refining Toner (QVC)
Favorite skincare treatment? Anti aging facial
@mpca66 Be sure to look at Dr. Denese’s OWN web site she has now. For yrs her contract with QVC excluded her from selling anywhere else, even in her then open NY medical practice! She now has all her current products on her own web site. Many prices are less than QVC. I was astounded to see that a product I love of hers (76% peptide solution) is $150 on QVC and $88 on Dr. D’s own web site! QVC does not sell all Dr. D’s products now and many are out of stock often. Get on the Dr. D web mailing list. They will keep you apprised of sales. At first when that site launched it had a form of easy pay for everything. I don’t see that now and am going to write to see if it is still going on. I have turned to ordering off the Dr D web site because shipping is cheaper as well as wider range of my fav products from her line available.
Your skin tone/coloring:
In Guerlain 12 Rose Claire.. In MAC – NW20/NC25. I’m yellow, but prefer using a more pink foundation.
Favorite facial mist?
UD All Nighter is my favorite, but I believe that is a finishing spray, not a ‘refresher/mist’. I use Fix+ only for wet e/s application and to ‘melt’ powder.

Chanel Lotion Pureté

Twice a day: Kate Sommerville Anti-Bac

Favorite toner? Alpha H Liquid Gold Glycolic Toner
Favorite skincare treatment? Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel Pads
Your skin tone/coloring: NC20
Favorite facial mist? Mac Fix Plus (before make-up, during and after) and Urban Decay All Nighter
Favorite toner? Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 (it’s a toner not lotion, for sensitive skin)
Favorite skincare treatment? MACs Mineral Charged Water Gel is amazing, makes my skin so soft. Differin Gel (prescribed Retinoid) every other day at night and Clean and Clear Mark Treatment (salicylic acid). I have been using a sample of the Bliss Triple Oxygen Mask (1-2 days a week) and their Steep Clean Mask (once a week) and I already see a positive difference in my skin texture, tone, and pore size.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light with yellow undertones, red surface undertones
Favorite facial mist? Don’t believe I’ve ever even tried one!
Favorite toner? Avalon Organics CoQ10 Repair Perfecting Facial Toner

Favorite toner? Liz Earle instant boost
Favorite skincare treatment? Omorovicza deep cleaning mask. It leaves skin wonderfully bright and soft.
Skin Tone/Coloring: Light with beige undertones (NC 20)
Fav. Facial Mist: None, thinking of trying the Caudalie one, but I have oily skin and none have worked for me yet.
Favorite Toner: Liz Earle Skin Boost Tonic
Favorite Skincare Treatment: Liz Earle Deep Cleansing Mask
Skin Tone/Coloring: Pale olive with yellow undertones (MUFE 127) to medium tan (MUFE 155) in summer.
Fav. Facial Mist: I don’t use any, though I’m thinking of trying the Ole Henriksen African Red Tea one.
Favorite Toner: Used to be Nivea’s Alcohol-Free toner with Aloe and Chamomile but I can’t find it *anywhere* anymore! 🙁
Favorite Skincare Treatment: I’m assuming the question deals only with weekly treatment sorts of things and not general daily skincare. If so, then it’s a tie between Dr. Brandt’s Microdermabrasion (fav. dermabrasion of all time, and I’ve tried a lot of them!) & Ren’s Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask.
@Kafka Have you tried Amazon? Sometimes companies still make products, but because they have a “smaller” market, they’ll let online companies handle the sales, as it’s more cost effective.
@xamyx @Kafka You’re so sweet, xamyx. 🙂 I should have specified that I can’t find it anywhere for it’s regular price, as opposed to prices that make the cheap skate side of me wake up and flay around like an angry zombie whose been badly poked. LOL! 😉 Amazon has a $4-$5 product going for over $20 with shipping which… no. It’s a fantastic product, but just no. I hate feeling as if someone is trying to cheat me or take advantage of me, ya know? Plus, if I’m going to shell out over $20 on a mere toner, it would be for NARS. lol (Totally OT, speaking of our beloved NARS, I thought of you yesterday with your wish for a nail varnish like NARS’ Eurydice or Melusine. Have you checked out the options at Nails, Inc. on Sephora? There are two which might be close. “Victoria” in particular. I think it could work. It’s definitely on my list, along with “Westminster.”)

Favorite skincare treatment: I wouldn’t consider this a “treatment”, but I love the new REN cleansing balm to remove my makeup. It has rose, chamomile, violet, and clove – smells phenomenal, all skin types can use it, doesn’t clog pores because it’s all natural, and has the most incredible, airy texture. At night, I use it to remove my makeup – some Amore Pacific toner, followed by REN’s Frankincense Night Cream, and your skin will NEVER feel better. I recommend it to everyone! =]
