How to look good with no makeup on Part 1

[@lucaria6164]

Baby, tretinoin and bha on different days was the reason I only wear concealer for my base makeup. Ungodly combination at the start but holy grail in the end

[@Officialjessicasanchez7]

So I am on tretinoin now at night. Am I able to use a BHA on other days? I’m scared that I might over exfoliate. Do you think I could use the acid once a week? How do you do it? Thank you 🙏 😊

How can you tell if hair if the right tone? Is there like a colour wheel to check?

[@queen_minnieme8321]

Yes number 3 really works because I had a good colour previousy and it looked like I was wearing makeup because my skin glowed and all I had to do was just finish with a lip stick or tinted lip oil.

[@user-bo5ql1lu1u]

I would love if you could include and address dark skin related problems as well. Is hyperpigmentation for darker skin around the mouth similar to that of a light skin tone?

[@gregorysmoth003]

She’s explained in some of her long-form videos that yes, it is the same, because it’s the same thing that’s causing it. The only difference is the skin color, not the cause, and she gives ways to treat the causes in the videos. I would give them a look through and see if anything helps!! :)

[@artikagunathasan4040]

Hi, glycolic acids and other alpha hydroxy acids are great at tackling hyperpigmentation. Start off with a 5% treatment every other evening and remember to be religious with your spf application year round. Apparently tinted sunscreens are superior for addressing hyperpigmentation but other spfs should help too!

​@@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts yep

[@chelseabunker2391]

@@kuma1326 proof? She looks pretty natural to me. Some people are naturally blessed with beautiful full lips like hers. If I am fully hydrated my lips look quite full and I have not had work done. Using regular exfoliation like she is recommending minimizes fine lines and skin texture. Also some of us don’t age as fast as others due to healthy life choices- exercise, whole foods, hydration, no smoking etc

[@kuma1326]

@chelseabunker2391 She's mentioned having procedures done on her channel before, in other videos, and interviews... she runs and owns her own business for various cosmetic procedures like filler and laser treatments. It's not a secret or something I'm accusing her of. All this info is available on her own youtube channel and website. Having natural features you love is wonderful and I'm happy for you, but there should be no shame in paying for cosmetic treatments either.

Pixi (I don’t know anything about the dupe someone else mentioned). The ordinary has a rather big, relatively inexpensive glycolic acids.

If it doesnt bothered my skin can i exfoliate everyday? I usually alternate glycolic acid and salicylic acid because im both treating acne and trying to age gracefully

[@BL-bl6lq]

So how do we use all this 3 acids in a week? I am 50 yrs old and I need to know how I will not be over exfoliating using this 3 acids in a week doc. Enlighten me please. Thank you.

[@BossStacey-jl9dn]

You don't need all three. If you listen keenly, salicylic acid is for oily skin and glycolic acid and lactic acid is for dry and combination skin. I would urge you to use lactic acid if you are a skin of colour person and if you are caucasian then you can use glycolic acid. Hope this helps

[@moniquewintle2613]

Do you use the two acids together 3 times a week? I usually alternate them

I’ve basted my lips with the weleda skin food like you said in another video but it made it so much worse. Like they get red and peeled and cracked with deep trenches by the time I wake up 😢

[@AlitaMee]

Because it has fragrance. Use LRP cicaplast balm

[@josephineohagan3271]

Ooo I’m sorry that stinks… I’ve started using weleda off her recommendations and haven’t had that reaction at all- maybe you are allergic to something in it- like the fragrance mentioned by someone else.

[@zoltanv9987]

You might have a lanolin allergy! I have lanolin allergy and it causes my lips to swell and blister. I can't use blistex and chapstick because those have lanolin as well. I agree with trying La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm instead.

[@user-wj2cq8gr1k]

I agree probably an allergy. I have an vitamin E allergy (Tocopherol) when applied topically. If that ingredient is high up the list on a lip balm I can't use it! Chapstick, blistex or anything with lots of vit E. I get the swelling, chapped , peeling and cracking at the corner of my lips. I use Badger Balm cocoa butter lip balm 😊

Can you talk about how to properly use tretonion! I’m so chapped and dry from using it. And I’m scared of purging.

[@hiannahgus574]

Wait 20 minutes before applying tretinoin after cleansing. Apply tretinoin mixed with your moisturizer cream, or even apply the moisturizer first. If your skin is red and irritated, skip a night. Don’t forget the sunscreen in the morning!

[@Leilexa]

If you are really chapped, you need to skip that night. Ultra moisture that night and start again the next night. Use the sandwich method. Clean, lotion, T, then lotion again. Give it some time.

[@Yahshija]

Thank you! I’ve been purging lately, not good.

[@SusanJ-jt5ny]

Layer a light moisturizer under tretinoin, let it dry before you use tretinoin. than layer heavier moisturizer on top of tretinoin after the T dries. This is called the sandwich technique

Normally I would just stop but I read somewhere this happens to some people and they have to keep trying until the skin adjusts.

I use Naturium Vit C. It’s been recommended by several reputable dermatologists. Worth looking into. Very reasonable cost and lasts a long time. Bottle is not clear so it does not oxidize quickly.

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr. Jenny Liu has a video on dry/chapped lips and suggests AHAs (the ordinary, neutrogena, l'oreal). A couple of derms have recommended the Maelove vit c as a more affordable choice compared to Skinceuticals. Dr. Idriss has several vit c videos with recommendations.

[@ZijnShayatanica]

I usually just take my Inkey List or The Ordinary glycolic acid toner on a q-tip, wipe it across my lips, wait a minute or so until it starts tingling, then I wet the other end of the q-tip w/ water to rinse off the product & wipe up any dead skin cells, then apply an oil & an occlusive [Vaseline or a lip mask].
