Or any routine concerning beauty-wise? Every other night I exfoliate and moisterize my face, every three days I pluck my eyes brows, Once a week I paint my nails, and every night I comb and wash my hair, after washing I detangle with my fingers and takes a good 10minutes.

Interesting, I like following my routines as it calms me for the night.

I braid my hair after washing it.

But that is also because drying it takes so long, and I do not like it loose where it can get my shirt very wet by dripping, and wet loose hair against the skin feels horrible.

I normally do not give much attention to my appearance.

I'm lucky to exfoliate my face once a week. Not enough hot water during my shower to do more than one or two things. If I'm not washing my hair I can do my face. If I'm not washing my hair or scrubbing my face I can shave. If I wash my hair I can't do much else (apart from the usual quick body wash that is).

How often I wash my hair depends on how well I've blowdried/straightened it and how long said style lasts. Usually the product buildup makes me give in and I wash more often than not.

No, no routines here. In fact, the only thing that I ever do from that list is wash my hair. Once my hair gets long enough that it needs to be combed, it is time for a haircut. I keep it about an inch long.

My routine isn't beauty related: put on pyjamas, brush my teeth, comb my hair, read a bit, then go to sleep.

Every other night I wash my face with a Clarisonic brush, it's like a big electric toothbrush for your face, then apply a serum. On the nights that I don't use the brush, I just wash with an acne clearing cleanser then apply serum. On Wednesdays I do a mud or clay mask. I wash my hair every three days (to preserve my unnatural hair color,) my regular showers are always during the day. I file my nails on Friday night. I always put on lip balm right before I go to sleep.

Shower and use facial wash every morning, wash hair every 2nd or 3rd day with just shampoo. I like citrus, mint and tea-tree scents, they are very awakening. Coat of light facial moisturiser, sunblock if it is sunny, roll-on deodorant and a spray of perfume.

Sunday mornings I use a facial mask & scrub.

Night-times I cleanse & tone my face and use rose hip seed oil as moisturiser. Brush my hair vigorously to get the hairspray out. Use body cream a couple of nights a week. If my feet are rough I'll put thick moisturiser and a pair of warm socks on to sleep. I like to wear a light perfume to bed as well, something like vanilla, 4711 or Tartine et Chocolat works for me.

I get my acrylic nails redone every 3 weeks and I'll soak my hands, put cuticle oil on and push the cuticles back before going to the salon. I paint my own toenails as soon as the polish starts looking messy. I feel like a skank if my toes aren't done, even though all winter long nobody sees my feet!

Haircut once a month, and I used to get my brows threaded once a month as well then pluck out stragglers at home, but I'm trying to grow the brows out now so they are a bit shabby at the moment.

That sounds like a lot of work but it really doesn't take much time. From stepping into the shower to stepping out of the front door I can do in 20 mins, it's just that I take about 90 minutes and 3 coffees before I get moving!

These are my hygiene and beauty activities:
Brush and floss teeth twice daily, dentist once per year for checkup and clean only.
Wash hair when it needs it - shampoo and conditioner
Comb hair and simple style, no products, twice daily or before going out
Wash body with moisturising cleanser in shower, once daily and after swimming
Wash face with water only
Sunscreen before going outdoors longer than 10 minutes
Home pedicure and polish on toes once per fortnight
Hubby rub oil into my head for five minutes, whenever I can convince him
Hair trim at home when it gets untidy
Occasional salon hair colour
Shave armpits and legs before wearing singlet top or short dress
Put on jewellery or nice clothes for going out depending on occasion.
Makeup only for wedding and formal occasions, but not for regular parties.
Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, sun bathing; and get a good night's sleep every night.
In the dry weather, liberally apply aloe vera vit E moisturising cream to body and balm to lips
Use gloves for housework and gardening

That's all I can think of for now.

I brush my teeth morning and evening, sometimes I also use mouthwash.

I wash my hair everyday (shower 2-3 times a week, shave armpits then and sometimes my legs and bikini area). I use both shampoo and conditioner, silver shampoo if I just coloured my hair blonde (I do it myself, cheaper that way). Sometimes I use a hair mask. I always put on Body Butter after I´ve showered.

I wash my face with a face wash made for oily/mixed skin from mostly either Body Shop or Lush. Then I use a toner made for the same skintype (also Body Shop/Lush) and a moisturizer for oily or normal skin (depends on if it´s winter or not). Right now I use both day and night moisturizer from a Swedish organic brand called Estelle & Thild. I scrub my face once a week, right now with "Ocean salt face scrub" from Lush.

Not much make up if any at all, mascara and sometimes foundation and concealer. Lipgloss if I´m going to a party (doesn´t happen that often).

If I'm wearing makeup, I take it off. I then wash my face and apply moisturizer and eye cream.

Er, no.

Unless you count bathing and maybe putting on hair clips (only to get it out of my eyes).

Other than that, nah. I don't even wear make up or use moisturizer (unless my knuckles are dry from stress).

I find that kind of thing pointless. I'm usually sitting hunched over a desk, working away at something, so why would I need to look prettier for that? Professional? fair enough, but pretty? Nah.

Nope, nothing over here. Unless you count brushing teeth, but I didn't do that this morning or last night because of rusty water.

Brush and floss teeth, wash face, apply moisturiser and eye cream, apply lip balm, apply hand cream to dry hands, consider whether or not I can be bothered to put cream on dry heels also, decide not to bother, get into bed. Done.
