Answering YOUR Skincare Questions! | Beauty with Susan Yara

[@SusanYara]

OMGoodness! We hit a million subscribers and I still can’t believe it! Thank you guys for all of your support. I wouldn’t be me without you! We’re starting to shoot new videos and even planning our January calendar (what?!), so let me know if there are video topics you want me to address. Also, I’m just getting back in the swing of things and honestly, I’m a little tired (hello sleepless nights with a newborn!), so I’ll get to comments as soon as I can. I love all of you so much! ❤️

[@Allison-r2q]

You deserve it. I don"t know you, but I trust your opinions and that says a lot about the vibe you give off. Love from Canada! ♡

[@Ali-uh2go]

What ingredients can or can’t be mixed!

[@rayanhal]

Susan Yara what are some thin/lightweight sunscreens ?! By the way huge fan !!❤️

Susan please do a comparison video of all major vitamin c serums on the market, high end and affordable

[@fernandes2611sf]

Try the Truth Serum from Olehendersen. I personally use the mini size bc I don't go through them quickly. It's around $30 at Sephora

[@ytb97]

Yesss! Including the Jan Marini C-Esta Serum (there’s an oil-control version too that I love) and maybe the C E Freulic mixtures since I’ve heard Vitamins C, E, & Freulic boost your sunscreens efficacy by 8 times

[@theialx]

skinceuticals is the queen of vitamin c in the market but it is expensive

[@syvi_bab]

the skinceuticals CE ferulic says it cant be washed or rubbed off for 72 hours, so if i use it every morning, does this mean i cant use glycolic acid at night since glycolic acid and vitamin c shouldnt be used together?

[@TalkAsSoftAsChalk]

And include Korean ones too please! Neogen, Rohto, Klairs etc.

[@virginia644]

Can Mixed Makeup PLEASE get one of those UV cameras to test how effective these SPF powders and setting sprays are? Because I am really skeptical they are offering real protection, but I would love to be proven wrong. And also show us how effective regular mineral/chemical sunscreens are after 2 hours, 6hours, 12hours of wear? This would be really informative!!

[@curlsofa2017]

Virginia Yes!! It would probably be an eye opener!

[@pshyeahtischelsea]

Yesss. I cringed when she acted like you can “refresh” your SPF with lower SPF touch-ups. It doesn’t work that way!

[@cami0709]

Yesss!

[@hot_salsa_dipping_sauce]

Yessssss

[@pumpkinpumpkinpumpkin98]

Can you review or talk about vintage skincare that’s still available today? Like Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, Pond’s Cold Cream, Vaseline, Frownies, Nivea, Erno Laszlo, etc.??? ❤️

[@elian3084]

Great idea, although I feel like she's gonna say the ingredients are OK but outdated and there's fragrance in them.

I second that! + Add Bodyshop products too!

[@Sof93]

Re: sunscreen, when I was younger I used an expired sunscreen and ended up getting super burnt to the point of blistering. I was skiing in Australia and my nose literally blistered every time I went into the sun (also in aus) for the next 2 years. Using expired sunscreen is basically like putting oil on your face as it doesn't polarise anymore so yeah... check your expiration dates and don't be me!!

[@prplppltr]

Sofyeah totally! If you’re in Australia as well we have stricter testing for sunscreens and a lot of the American and Asian products have to have their SPF rebranded eg Murad went from 40+ and in australia they had to be relabelled to 15+

[@Jess-jc2wx]

I can’t find the expiration date on my sunscreens! :(

[@Sof93]

@@Jess-jc2wx it's often imprinted at the very top of the tube (where the seam is) or on the bottom of the bottle if you have the pump style. Otherwise maybe look for the jar icon but as far as I've seen (Aussie tho) there's usually a date rather than an open period.

[@shiprakumar5968]

Can you mention the name of the brands?

[@TiaraWordsfromGod]

Thank you so much, Susan, and congratulations on your second baby! I minimalized my routine after watching a few of your videos to this: - Morning: Cleanse, Moisturize, SPF - Night: Double Cleanse, Moisturize, Spot treatment for acne and dark spots. I have dry and sensitive acne-prone skin. I haven't had a huge breakout since and my skin is flourishing and it is so hydrated! Also budget-friendly! Thank you again. I appreciate your advice!

She’s baaaaack! 1 million subs baby!

[@schizoaffectivedisorderoutloud]

I would love a series where you go through the different skin types and show what morning and night routines would look like. And in those routines, what products you’d use for certain concerns and what order you’d use products. As someone uses trying to get into having a skincare routine, the hardest part has been trying to figure out how to add products in the routine that’ll be beneficial and how to combine products together.

[@ThatsSimplyMe]

Can we please get an indept video about hormonal breakouts please!?

[@prettyfancy]

Now that you have hit 1MILLION.....can you give us a makeup tutorial. I LOVE your makeup look!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Who is with me???

[@annafarquhar6741]

For people looking for an affordable vitamin c: I know Susan tried one of the ordinary vitamin cs and found it far too potent and irritating. I totally get that but that was >20% and even described by the ordinary as very potent. I use the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2% and love it! Not too potent, a nice thin consistency, but I've still had great results! I've had a lot of compliments on my skin since I've started using it. Also obviously very affordable.

[@sihamabdi1488]

hey! have you considered making a video on the process of becoming an esthetician or dermatologist? im trying to go into that field and this is one of my favorite channels to tune into!!

[@crystalmarie7709]

She can’t. She’s not one.

[@Selina-2299]

Enroll in a accredited beauty school. You can finish the Esthetics course in less than 5 months. Then you will take the state board exam. Part of the exam is written and the other part is practical. The whole process took 6 months (full time program in CA).

[@katiesmakeupbag498]

Would LOVE to hear your take on mineral vs chemical sunscreens!

[@jwood771]

I really like the Paula’s Choice Vitamin C serum, it’s fairly reasonably priced! 😊

[@randeemanske3054]

I only found this channel a few weeks ago and I’ve become obsessed - I haven’t been able to stop watching the videos! The question I have that I haven’t seen answered yet, is how/where to incorporate a weekly face mask into the skin routine that I do every day. I love using the Volition Detoxifying Silt Gelee Mask. If I use the mask in the morning, should I use my regular AHA toner first or skip that step? If I use the mask at night, should I follow with my regular retinol serum or skip that step?

[@thayspascoal8004]

I ADORE Susan!!! She is lovely, my favourite skincare guru

[@l0vejadee]

Oh no! I missed the instagram Q&A opportunity but would love to hear you speak more about light therapy? I have heard you rave about it in a few videos but is there any proven benefit of using a light mask? What does it help with? It seems to be a new craze and I'm not sure if I should invest in a light machine and consider IPL facials since I'm in my 20s and really working to prevent aging

[@dianaedid7819]

the glow maker by maelove is reasonably priced and it's AMAZING! Such a helpful video, thank you Susan:)

[@MissRigg96]

The Maelove Glow Maker Antioxidant Serum is amazing and only $28. Formulated with 15% ascorbic acid, vitamin e, and ferulic acid! A steal in my opinion but would love to hear Susan's thoughts!

For reapplying sunscreen OVER makeup, I like to dot tiny amounts of liquid sunscreen all over my face and blend it in with a beauty puff I keep with me on the go. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Although I prefer a dewy more natural look..I've never tried it with a full face of high coverage makeup.

[@frebreeziemarie1997]

If you want your skincare routine to speed up, and afterwards & still reap benefits you can combine all water based serums in your hand then add a few drops of ferulic acid and it will give all of those serums a boost and will add antioxidants.

Hi Susan. First, I think you’re awesome!! Vitamin C suggestion- I’ve been using Petunia Vitamin C Serum for months, it’s affordable and I’ve had great results.

[@sailorgrlie]

I often see you recommend a Niacinamide serum, but then also recommend that the same person use CeraVe moisturizers which contain Niacinamide. Is it really beneficial to layer the same ingredient, or would the moisturizer be enough on its own?

[@tajanamilkovic9359]

I think that moisturizer is enough, I've heard her mention that in an older video

[@milysankikos1975]

Susan what is this peachy perfect blush you are wearing?!

[@Kayjo444]

Thanks for the Q&A super helpful!! As a soon to be mama of two. I would love to know some skincare suggestions for littles. Lip care, face body diaper area.

[@SusanYara]

Kendra Elsie The kiddos don’t need much. Stick with fragrance free body wash/shampoo, fragrance free lotion, and then just the extra essentials when needed like diaper rash cream. I always have something like aquaphor in case they get some type of rash on their face or body. And of course sunscreen once approved by your pediatrician. The skin on babies and toddlers is more delicate, so they’re more susceptible to irritation. The “natural” products with essential oils can be more harmful than good unfortunately.

Congrats on 1 mil 💕 I really like the derma e vitamin C concentrate serum. It's a derivative so very gentle 👍

[@SamMKKK]

I’d like to see how to differentiate between purging and breaking out from irritation- specifically, on deep skin tones. I see a lot of sites talking about redness, but my skin is dark so I’m confused. 😂

[@ashbootheone]

Hi! I love this channel! lol I have a few questions: I am using the LilyAna Naturals Retinol (which is a cream) at night. Should I still use a moisturizer? Also, I love the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Vitamin C Serum. Right now I only use it in the morning. Can I use it at night as well if I'm using Retinol? And can I use The Oridnary's Glycolic Acid Toner with the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Vitamin C Serum and Retinol? I am trying to figure out my routine. My main concern is hyperpigmentation and keeping my skin glowing. Here are my current routines... Morning: Cleanser (Typically the Neutrogena Clear Pore cleanser or Grapefruit cleanser), Glycolic Acid toner, Buffet, L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Vitamin C Serum, The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, and Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer SPF 25. Night: Cleanser, Buffet, The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG, and LilyAna Naturals Retinol. I hope I'm not using anything incorrectly!

[@SusanYara]

Ashley Rogers Quick answer time the vitamin c and the retinol. Yes you can use both if your skin can handle it. Meaning as long as you don’t get irritation. Try it out slowly. If you can tolerate it, you will see even bigger gains in skin repair. 👍

[@ashbootheone]

@@SusanYara That's great to hear. Thanks!

[@susa5622]

Hi Susan! I listened to what you said regarding unstable vitamin Cs and I was wondering if the same goes for vitamin c in a powder form like The Ordinary or The Good Molecules vit c powder option? Since I heard that they’re the most stable forms since they’re not in liquid forms. I’d like to know your thoughts.

[@ashleighhare2679]

In terms of trying to find a good and low price vitamin C serum I would love to hear your thoughts on Cocokinds vitamin C!

[@emoprincez01]

To fully get the best results, you have to use moisturizer and a sunscreen on its own. Using a product that contains sunscreen (spf) will just give you a minimal amount of protection.

Plus, pls. PLS. talk to your dermatologist.
