    Hmm, let's see.

    Shower, shaving and doing hair- three hours (plus another fifteen minutes every few days for eyebrow maintenance)

    Makeup- 1 hour (more depending on the look)

    Hair touchups- twenty minutes.

    Other stuff-20 minutes

    outfit choice and getting dressed- 10-15 minutes.

    Lighting ect- ten minutes

    And then I film a quick promo for the day that takes like five minutes.

    JEEZ, I take forever to get ready! And I don't even exercise or do my nails.

    dude: humilate me bb

    30mins for shower and hair - I'm pretty lucky my hair is stick-straight, doesn't tangle and really low-maintenance.

    1 hour for makeup.

    15mins or so to get dressed and set up the equipment.

    That's about it. I walk the dog for an hour every day so I'm counting that for exercise. I don't get my hair or nails done. I DO procrastinate like a champ, so hell let's put down like, 3 hours for that.

    When I started camming I used to take like an hour to get ready, wear a fuck ton of makeup, and dress up in quite uncomfortable fetish wear... I've simplified all of that down to the point where it takes me around 20 minutes to get ready. Absolutely no shade towards anyone who takes a long time to fix themselves up, but I find that for me, personally, having a quick and easy routine makes me waaaaay more likely to actually bother with it, which means actually bothering to go on cam. I make more money in my nightie and 15 minute makeup than I did when I spent an hour getting ready. Maybe I would have done anyway, it's a matter of time and experience, but all the same.

    I fucking hate exercise but I have a pretty active life socially and creatively outside of camming and I live in a big city so I just try to make sure to walk to everything as much as I can. I guess around an hour or so of walking a day is ideal for me. Recently I've re-evaluated a lot of things about how I run my day-to-day life and how much time I spend stressing about shit I don't care about vs how much time I spend doing new or exciting or pleasurable things and I think I'm coming into a good balance.

    when I first started camming, I spent a lot of time doing my makeup, at least an hour...not because it was full face, but because I'm shitty at it. Filling in my eyebrows since they have patches from botched wax jobs over the years (which took the longest because I couldn't ever get them symmetrical) and eye makeup, winged eyeliner and all. I've never worn foundation and such...my sin is really too sensitive for it, even in my mid-30s.

    I got my brows micro-bladed and have lash extensions and don't wear any makeup anymore, except for concealer under my eyes if I got poor quality sleep...there's a 28 story hotel going up directly across the street from me and they start at 4am sometimes. They're only on the foundation too! probably going to be another 2 years of that...meaning lots of bags to cover up under my eyes!

    I shower everyday, which takes about 10 minutes...and I wash my hair about once a week...it's super ridiculously course and thick so washing it daily or even more often than once a week turns it into a giant looking tumbleweed. I used to spend hours blowdrying my hair and then straightening it...now I just let it air dry and put some gel, scrunch, and go. Wearing my hair natural is so much easier and I'm not deathly scare of it getting wet.

    When I stopped wearing makeup about 4 months ago, my regs were so happy and love the natural look. And lots of people that come by my room for the first time say how much the love the natural look. I much prefer it too...and my skin adores me for it. The closer I get to 40, the less I want chemicals sitting on my skin all day, even the bare mineral stuff.

    All in all...I used to spend at least 1-3 hours getting read (if it was a hair day or not) and now I spend about 20 minutes between showering, freshening my hair, and putting facial moisturizer on.

    I love myself and I have respect for myself too, so, appearing on cam with a neglected look would be a lack of disrespect against myself, first of all, then against the customers I am asking to pay my prices. You can't pretend big prices if you look... questionable, no matter what you do and what your personality is.

    Work: I try to provide a clean look so, I wear elegant lingeries and jewllery. I try to buy new lingerie at least at every 3 months. They pay off anyway because, this is our investment. Also, my bf benefits from them too. He says he is very proud and lucky to have a woman with so much sexy lingerie and this makes me happy.

    Body: Now, I wasn't a big workout fan, but lately I do work out, especially in the last 2 years I made myself a workout routine and eating healthy one, that started to be more efective in the last months, because I was quiting, I was failing and I was learning from mistakes.

    Make up : About 1 hour/ day before work and 30 minutes if I go out (I use less make up when I go out because my face doesn't have major flaws so I prefer a bit less make up).
    Hair: I wash it at every 3 days because is very greasy. This is a pain in the ass because I can wear it loose only 1 day, before it looks like a cow licked my roots. And I have a beautiful hair :sigh
    I don't go to saloon to take care of it because, having to wash it so often, would bring me to bankruptcy )) I only go at 6 months to trim the tips.
    I have a Rowenta rotating blow dry brush and it does a great job to my hair. It looks like I came from saloon haha )
    I am also investing in professional hair serums, masks and conditioners. They do wonders to my thin frizzy hair. Because I have to wash it so often, it degrades super quickly and I noticed a difference from the period I wasn't using serums on my hair and from now: before I had to trim the ends at 3 months, now I do at 6-7.

    Nails: I mostly wear my nails natural, but I give them weekly a treatment and also apply tratment base coats for strengh.

    Mind: I use "Calm" App for meditation. I started meditating a few months ago, on and off, untill I made a habit to meditate daily. I feel better for sure. The major thing that changed inside myself is that I started to not care anymore about others and don't fill up myself with negative energy from others actions.

    And the ultimate spoil I do to my body, a habit that I have been maintaining in the last 2 months is: Every single morning, on empty stomach, the first thing I do is to drink a glass of hot water with grated ginger and lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey.
    It helped a lot my digestion, I have huge trouble with that so, this was my savior. Soon I am ready to add turmeric root and cayenne pepper.
    I can also give a little tip that helped me keep this routine, because, when I started I couldn't keep it because of this. I know is hard to squeeze lemon and wash the device, every single day, to prepare the lemon juice. So, once a week I buy a big amount of lemons (12-13 lemons) and I squeeze them all and keep them in a little bottle, in the fridge. And add from that bottle, every morning. That way, I can drink warm water with lemon all the time, before meals, or after...however. IS easier.
    I need to make myself a habit from drinking with a straw, but is not that cool to drink warm-hot water (warm enough to not burn your throat/ tongue) with straw. But I will do my best, because lemon juice degrades the teeth because is acid. I will probably let it cool down 2 more minutes before drinking.
    That's it.

    Full hair and makeup every day- 1.5 hours
    Gel mani+pedi every 3 weeks
    Eyelash extensions every 3 weeks
    Thread my eyebrows every 3 weeks
    Gym as much as I can - usually at least once a week for a couple of hours.
    I wear my faja and eat right and I invest in plastic surgery if I need it.

    Usually takes me about an hour to get ready for cam...hair 10-15 mins depending how I want to wear it, makeup 20 min (usually a light contour, highlight, blush, eyeshadow, lipgloss, and mascara) and then...idk what takes me so long actually LOL >.<

    I get my kitty waxed every month by the sweetest lady in the world
    I get acrylics when I can afford it
    I do yoga for 30-45 min everyday
    I dye my roots every six wks

    Honestly I have issues w panic disorder and doing my makeup is the most relaxing thing in the world! I'm pretty passionate about makeup, beauty, fashion, fitness,etc in my personal life and I'd say it shows on cam.

    When you take it together with your food that provides Iron, it also helps the body to take in the Iron (food with vitamin C helps the intake of Iron)

    I also love to drink cranberry juice, organic, without added sugar (just pure cranberry juice). I add water to it. Helps to prevend cystitis

    I am starting to take Lepicol psyllium fibre for digestion and bec I almost dont eat bread (or potatoes, or pasta) anymore
    Also I a starting to add little bit of broken flaxseed to my salads for the same reason (also for the b1 vitamin since i rarely eat meat)
    (I have irritated bowel syndrome, and eating bread makes it worse)

    I exercise every day but that's simply because I rather to split it up over the whole week than doing massive sessions in one go. I eat well, drink lots of water. Surprisingly, I don't spend that much time doing make-up. I've perfected it to a fine art that works for me. It's very fast! I also relate to what sovereign says: I make more money in my nightie and 15 minute makeup than I did when I spent an hour getting ready. I used to have a routine that took hours and quite honestly I just got sick of doing it and I'm not sure there was any visible difference, or difference in earnings in a positive way, compared to when I do what I do now.

    I do shave every day and that can get a bit annoying, to the point I've considered getting laser hair removal. That's the one part of my routine I wish I could take out. Also, hair straightening as I like mine really straight and I don't want to fuck up my hair long term.

    I've let myself go a lot this last year. I've never been a high maintenance girl and even trying to keep up with tan/hair trim/nails every few weeks is too much for me lol. I generally spend 30 mins putting on really thick and dark eye makeup and red lipstick, pair of stockings, baby doll of some kind and then I'm good to go. A few of the girls who look similar to me have really stepped up their game though recently so I need to sort it out. Lash extensions, tan, and French manicure nails coming up - actually having these cuts down the time I need to spend getting ready so idk why I don't do it more often :/ i literally never exercise, I'm getting so fat!

    My diet is great though, I'm vegan and try to eat only whole foods, I supplement with a good all round multi vitamin and take extra zinc, I drink a green smoothie every day.

    I am a quick-shower person, if I don't need to shave my pits or legs it takes about 7 minutes. Blow-dry hair and brush it...maaaaaybe 10 minutes. Makeup, 15-20 minutes. A few seconds to comb my bush (yes, I comb it, I like it to be all fluffy and it gets rid of loose hairs and I can check for greys). I usually pick out my outfit the day before and toss it on my chair.

    I am pale as hell, so no tanning for me. I don't have a car, so I walk everywhere, and I do a boxing fitness training horrible torture thing 2 times a week. I haven't gotten my nails done in far too long, I should really stop DIYing it because I like them SO much better when someone else does them.

    I eat decently, but have a love of pasta and pizza and beer. I try to balance it out with a love of salad, but let's be honest, nobody is ever going to accuse me of being skinny

    It takes me about 20 mins for makeup, I have big lips so I focus on bright colours and gloss and just neutral eye-shadow with liner and mascara. I do yoga twice a week, walk with my dog for an hour or so each morning and I do squats and lunges while I'm waiting for cam shows on AW and also drink green juice from my nutribullet. I like to keep things simple as possible.

    oh wow i gotta think about this.

    on days that i cam, it takes me about an hour and a half to two hours to do a full face of makeup (wash face, moisturizer, primer, eyeshadow, winged liner, eyebrows, foundation, contouring, highlight, lip stick). i sleep with my hair in a braid so i dont have to use heat on it to cam, so that doesnt take up much time at all. other than that, shaving every other day takes about 20 minutes in the shower.

    then throughout the month, i do manicures, pedicures, and a face mask a few times a week- that probably adds up to 3 hours a week total. I also bleach my hair and tone it to a silver color, and i maintain tape in extensions- which costs about $400 to do my roots and install new hair extensions every three months. the process of bleaching and toning and taking out and reinstalling my extensions takes over 6 hours.

    also, i'm naturally thin, so I don't really work out consistently- maybe a run here or there, but I do squats and abs every day for 20 minutes.

    so on a month that I am doing my roots and extensions, plus camming 5 days a week, I easily spend over 28 hours in the entire month just 'getting pretty'.

    also i have to factor in setting up before i go on cam- so turning on my lights and cleaning up and setting up my bed and getting dressed and getting online- probably about 20 minutes every day i cam.

    being a girl is hard.

    I spend a lot of time on makeup these days. I used to use less, but I noticed, after a lot of experimentation, that I made more money on days when I wore black eyeliner (I suspect I do even better when I wear false lashes as well, but eyeliner is a must for me) and I'm super obsessed with makeup, so I haven't stopped there. It runs in my family though, and for me, makeup is something about which I am super passionate, and I always have been, so long as I've had the time and money to do it properly.

    As I've grown on cam, I've done my makeup (and clothes) different ways, and I've come to prefer a made-up, planned look rather than no/little makeup. I recently began contouring my face, and I am obsessed with it. If I do any makeup at all, I just naturally have to put on some bronzer and highlighter, too. It's subtle, yet dramatic. I love it.

    I'm constantly looking for new techniques and new looks to see what could improve my overall game. I watch makeup tutorials while doing my makeup. I love Carly Bybel for focusing on technique. Many of the makeup artists do mostly product reviews, and they of course talk a lot about how to apply the makeup, what brush to use, what order to apply, etc., but There's something more specific about Carly that I like for discussions of basic "wtf do I do with this?" questions. When it comes to more dramatic, theatrical kinds of looks, I love Jeffree Star (also he's hilarious), and I truthfully, I like NikkieTutorials as well, but there are some times I'm a little bit "ummmmm" about her, personally. Her makeup is great though, her videos are very informative, and I have a face shape similar to hers, although I have a darker complexion.

    I'm not sure how much time I spend watching tutorials each week, but somewhere between 1-4 hours a week, I'd say. Sometimes when I feel frugal, I don't watch because of course it makes me want to buy more.

    I used to get my nails done professionally, but then I decided I needed to be more self sufficient, so I learned to do my own manicures. I'm far from perfect, but I can do a quick color change (so long as there is no glitter) within 25 minutes, and it's within 80% of salon quality, which is fine for my needs if I'm not paying for it and I can do it at home. I focused on nail art for months, though. I put MANY hours a week into painting and shaping my freaking nails. It was a little bit insane, but I had the time for it, and it was worth it, because now I'm at the point where it takes minimal effort.

    So, as far as daily hours spent at this point, I do my nails probably twice a week, and once a week it's a *real* manicure (meaning I do different colors, glitter, stones, caviar beads), the other it's more of a color change, so probably 2 hours on the full mani (while I watch my tutorials), then about 30 minutes on the second/maintenance mani. (I am typing now while my cuticle butter soaks in)

    To do a FULL face of makeup, I need an hour to two, depending on certain factors, which is mostly the success of my eyeliner and false lashes, which I've *always* had issues with, but I'm getting better at. Yes, I've been watching tutorials on how to apply false lashes. Actually, it was my search for how to do a better cat eye with freaking liquid liner (my dog ate my liner brush I enjoyed with gel liner, I didn't want to buy a new brush, so I decided to work with what I had, which was some NYX liquid liner), that got me hooked on tutorials in the first place. But I can say I've improved on the liner, and some on the lashes, but mostly I'm learning which products work best for me.

    I fucking love doing my makeup. I enjoy doing it. A full face includes: color corrector, liquid foundation, powder foundation, bronzer/highlighter/blush, Eye shadow from lash to brow, BROWS, liner, mascara, false lashes, lipstick, then SETTING SPRAY!!!! I take my time with it. I can do it in 45 minutes probably if I HAD TO, but sometimes I'll take two hours, and it depends how fancy I get. I have a few "fallback" looks that I do with specific products that I find boring, but I know work well, so I can do them without thinking. Other times I like to use new products and experiment.

    As for my hair, I wash it once, maybe twice a week. I cut it once a year. All I do to style it is maybe add some sea spray to give my roots volume, Biosilk to add shine (or lube, honestly), and I brush it. I'm kind of known for my hair, apparently, so I really can't change it. It's long and thick and dark. If I cut it significantly, I would lose money. I've had boyfriends tell me they'd break up with me, so I'm sure guys would stop spending money. The color is very rich, and people like it, so I can't change that. I know it's my life and blah blah, but really. My hair is my glory. I'm surprised no one has ever held me down and shaved me to make themselves a wig of it. That said, I tried a wig the other day, people fucking hated it. They said they liked it, but naaaahhhhhh it wasn't the same. I've done little teeny highlighty-bits of pink or blue in the past, but it's just not the same. I was all punk rock as a teenager and my mom would never let me bleach and dye my whole head because she knew how beautiful my hair was. She let me do a few little bits (and after lots of bribery), and I'm thankful for that. She was right. So I really don't spend much time on it, it's best left alone.

    As for skin care, I use pretty much only LUSH products daily, but I also take a moisturizing and meditative bubble bath at least once a week. It's the most important thing I do all week. I soak for at least an hour, switching between hot and cold water, with my little psybient youtube videos and candles and shit. It's awesome. It keeps me sane, and my skin stays soft and hydrated.

    I walk my dog for exercise, but I'm tryyyyyying to do other stuff, too....

    I do not cam anymore but these are all things I did when I cammed and still do just to keep up on my appearance.

    About 15 mins to do my makeup. Just light and a little natural. Foundation, mascara, sometimes eyeliner and eye shadow.

    Fake tanning 3-5 times a week. Takes 20 mins at a time to do. On the days I do not have self-tanning lotion on, moisturize daily to keep the fake tan lasting longer and fading more evenly.

    Exercise 6 days out of the week. I do eat clean most of the time.

    I don't dye my hair anymore but recently got it cut shorter so I feel it looks best when it is just left in its natural state. Just takes about 2 mins to run a brush through it and part it how I like it lol.

    TCA or chemicals peels 1-2 times a month, except for in the spring and summer because I like to be outside a lot when it is warm out and skin is really sensitive to sunlight for several months post pale leading to scarring, sunburn, etc if not protected well enough.

    When you take it together with your food that provides Iron, it also helps the body to take in the Iron (food with vitamin C helps the intake of Iron)

    I also love to drink cranberry juice, organic, without added sugar (just pure cranberry juice). I add water to it. Helps to prevend cystitis

    I am starting to take Lepicol psyllium fibre for digestion and bec I almost dont eat bread (or potatoes, or pasta) anymore
    Also I a starting to add little bit of broken flaxseed to my salads for the same reason (also for the b1 vitamin since i rarely eat meat)
    (I have irritated bowel syndrome, and eating bread makes it worse)
    Be careful with psyllium fibre. Don't take it on a daily basis. Only when is an emergency and u really need it (3-4 days cure or so), because they don't let your dygestive system do it's own job anymore and soon your colon will become lazy and you won't be able to live without psyllium fibre anymore.
    I am not good at telling medical terms in english but I hope u got the point.

    This is what I dread doing the most before getting on cam, especially when I don't feel like working.. It makes me wish I had a makeup artist lol... If I didn't cam I wouldn't even wear makeup, im absolutely fine w/o... andddd I'm getting ready to invest in a wig (wigs), a very pricey one at that because I need to give my real hair a break from all the heat of flat ironing / curling every other day... it'll be fun to experiment with a new look / colors .. I need to get my nails redone asap, they're so fugly right now lol

    It takes me about 30 minutes to a hour. On most nights I love taking the time to get ready. Its my time to be by myself and kind of relax.

    It takes me about 30-45 mins, depending how much I'm procrastinating. I usually put something on Netflix in the background while I'm doing my makeup.

    I haven't worked out regularly for a long time, but that's something I want to get back into because I know it makes such a huge difference to my energy levels. Nothing says 'don't tip me' like looking tired in a long cam session.

    I would totally recommend laser for hair removal. I've had laser almost everywhere below the neck and the only area that I'm still getting touchups on is my underarms (every three months and minimal regrowth between sessions). I got it done in sections and it's literally changed my life. You don't even realise how much time you spend on hair removal until you don't have to any more, and it's heaven knowing I'll never again look down at my legs and realise I forgot to do them and it's an overgrowth emergency.

    Yes, it's really important to buy food-based vitamins rather than synthetic ones. Most of the cheap ones like Centrum will end up in your intestines and come out years later because they simply do not break down. There are stories about people who flush out synthetic vitamins during their colonoscopies! They are basically plastic. When reading up on studies about vitamins make sure that the study is talking about naturally sourced vitamins and not the synthetic forms. There was a big scare when studies came out on too much Vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin D...they were all in synthetic form. Also, naturally sourced vitamins are more likely to have the full spectrum eg. vitamin E has I think 8 different natural forms. I like Garden of Life products because they are privately owned and care very much about the latest research. New Chapter was another good one but they were bought out by Proctor and Gamble.

    You can take the whole research thing too far and end up hypochondriac so it's really about maintaining balance and finding what works best for you and listening to your body intuition.

    I never used to be a high maintenance girl til I got a bucket load of Sephora makeup...now I totally am. I take about an hour to do my cam face if I include foundation, if not, about 40 mins. Other things include nails done every 3 weeks, waxing done every month, roots dyed every 6-7weeks, bangs blown out and straightened every day. I also have a face routine every morning because you gotta keep your skin looking good if you want longevity in this industry.

    Meal prep once a week for 2 hours, gym 6 days a week for about 1hr. I am also about to start The Prime so that will mean dedicated tea making every morning, dry brushing before showering. I also do pole 3 times a week to make myself feel sexy on the inside and out.

    I've spent a lot of time pondering this topic, because there're times in my life when I'm too disabled to look after myself. Believe me, you really think about whether a part of your care routine is really necessary when you have to swallow your pride and ask your partner to do it for you. However, I won't claim to have it all figured out, and I'm avidly reading everybody else's responses.

    There're things I do always always always, camming or no camming: drink mostly water (and plenty of it), sleep at least 7 hrs, either meditate or write in my journal at least every other day, do posture exercises every other day, eat frequent snacks so my blood sugar doesn't fluctuate too wildly. Skipping any of these, as I've learned the hard way, leads to those disabling stretches where I can barely get out of bed.

    With camming, I have three kinds of investment:

    1) Barest minimum, a 30/45-min routine: freshly washed & conditioned hair, foundation to even out my skin tone, translucent powder, a touch of eye shadow, kohl pencil or eyeliner, pink or red lip colour, undies in a flattering colour, clean and tidy nails <= if I don't have these things and money is tight, I will borrow in order to get them, because otherwise I won't make over the minimum wage.

    2) These things/activities help me earn money quicker, a 1/1.5-hr routine: interesting eye make-up, a particular shade & glossiness of lipstick, styled hair, having stockings available, new outfits every few weeks <= if I don't have these things, I will earn money before reinvesting into them; if I have only an hour to cam that day, I will log on without them, but it sucks to go without this stuff.

    3) These things are enjoyable, but I still haven't worked out if they make a significant difference in earnings, a fancy 2+ hr routine: salon hair or nails, teeth whitening, eyebrow shaping, toys beyond flesh-coloured dildoes and a wand, a large collection of outfits <= I've yet to see a confirmation that enough guys notice my efforts in these areas to make them a worthwhile investment.

    (Shaving and working out are irrelevant to my camming, because I'm officially a hairy BBW, but I when I'm not sick I go to a martial art class every week, and in the winter I skate.)
