[@janicewright8139]

I’m looking for the cleansing oils that you said you would pin.

[@donnac.3273]

I have a routine also. The steps do not bother me. I get compliments on my skin all the time. There are products needed as you age but each her own. At 57, I barely have any wrinkles especially under and around my eyes. I have been using eye cream and really (lanolin oil) for years. I have a daytime and night time routine. Multivitamin, exercise, fruits, vegetables, and water is a must.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@s.r301]

Glad you mentioned multivitamin. It makes a huge difference to fill nutritional gaps, staying active, getting some sleep and hydration.

[@jackiebedward2249]

It's the commitment for me, she is committed to taking care of her skin. It's so funny to me when someone ask me, "what do you use on your skin It is so nice". There is no one product that fix it all, just put in the time take care of your skin and wear your damn sunscreen.

[@reeseew5508]

Remember when coconut oil as a 1st cleanse was all the rave in the mid 2000s?? That joint broke me out! Then I took longer to clear up my skin! Whew! It’s definitely not for everyone 😍😍

[@avemunroe]

Girllll when I first started using makeup I was using coconut oil to remove it and I was in comedone helll and couldn’t figure out why 😩 Vaseline or grape seed oil turned out to be a better solution for me

[@melindapear4798]

Stephanie skin is so pretty. I'm trying to so hard to get my skin clear of sensitive oily acne prone skin.

@@styleandbeautydoctor Hi Danielle (I don't know if it's how your name is spelled, if not, forgive me). I would like to thank you for helping me find a mineral sunscreen (Cotz and Replenix) for my skin colour (black) and type (oily). I can't get them where I live (Africa) but I am trying to find someone who can bring them for me from USA. I hope they will be suitable for my skin.

[@muta_othernames]

​@@sweetange7553 Where can the Cotz one be found now? Do you have a link?

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

@@sweetange7553 hey boo! Yes, you spelled it correctly! And so glad I could help you find one that works ❤️❤️ Hope you can find a way to get it easily where you live!

[@db-gb5xi]

Her skin is lovely and I'm glad she found a routine that works for her but I'd never have the patience for all those steps. I've seen a few derms say that if you are getting dirt off with your toner, you need a better cleanser or to cleanse a little longer. Also, I've seen some skin care folks suggest decanting your hydrating toner into a spray bottle and just ditching the cotton pad. And at least a couple of derms do suggest those clean skin club towels and at least one suggests just using a new/clean towel daily to pat your skin and some brands even have the days of the week printed on the towel so you can't get yourself in trouble. Good point about ingredients/climate (how many of us have seen people having fits behind HA not agreeing with their skin in drier climates).

[@CG-ce3sk]

“Wash ya stinkin dutty hands”. 🤣🤣🤣❤️

[@aeriii4681]

I tried the blue Toleraine cleanser for oily skin, hated it. So stripping even for oily acne skin. Love the Lipikar one, it’s so balanced and not overly drying.

[@perpetuaukakogu6160]

This is not only educative but fun to watch. You made watching you fun😁

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@bbernabe08]

If you don’t already have a video on toners (I’m binging your videos now so I haven’t gotten through them all yet 😅), I’d love to see a breakdown of the different types and when they should be used. Loving your content!

[@dlilwon]

My OCD is bugging me watching her not wash all of her forehead. 😣 I need closure 😅

[@DEdwards247]

[@mashamitchell9574]

It's not just you. Its ridiculous that she has hair glued to her face.

[@dianeweekes7759]

I agree no cleasing brush for me

[@ShanekaRashaun]

Coconut oil is definitely not for me! Not for my face or my hair/scalp...all it can do for me is give me a nice lil shine if I’m ashy & to flavor my food. Dassit! 🙅🏾‍♀️

[@tyresseferguson2462]

I'm not mad at her night routine. I applaud her for knowing her skin and being cautious with what she use. She's using sunscreen ☺ which protects all the work she's doing at night.

[@oreabetsemmekoa5345]

I can attest to some of the things she uses in her routine. I use unrefined coconut oil it gives me that natural glow and really soft skin. I use a brush that has different heads, and it was a game changer for me cause I bought it in China and you know Chinese women don’t play with their beauty 😂I’ve been using it for 2 years now (just change brushes just like you do your toothbrush). I only use natural products on my skin and that helped with my acne prone skin. Use a rose water as a spray after washing face. I also use hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and retinol by the ordinary at night. My face oil that I’ve been using for 2 years now is pure organic shea butter from Ghana and works perfect on my lips too after my lip scrub. Still haven’t found the perfect vitamin c and sunscreen for me. Thanx for this

[@s.r301]

I have a straightforward routine which seems to be working pretty well for me. AM 1. CeraVe cream to foam cleanser 2. Vanicream vitamin C serum. Has 5% Tetrahexadecyl ascorbate 3. Cerave Moisturizer (the tub) 4. Beauty of Joseon sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ 5. A wide brimmed hat with UPF 50 when out in the Sun 6. Sun protective clothing with UPF 50 when out in the Sun PM: 1. Garnier micellar water 2. CeraVe cream to foam cleanser 3. Stratia c+c serum. Has 10% l-ascorbic acid, 5% Tetrahexadecyl ascorbate, 0.5% Q10 4. Stratia soft touch AHA serum. Has 10% mandelic acid (I use it once a week) 5. Cerave Moisturizer I also had excellent success using Geek and Gorgeous A game serum. It has Retinaldehyde. One of the gentlest forms of Retinol I have ever used. But it is better at collagen production than hyperpigmentation. Very good for maintenance once the hyperpigmentation is cleared.

[@girlanonymous]

Yea I can’t do alot of product on my skin (including scalp). The cleanser brush caused skin inflammation and acne for me. The honest best thing that’s ever worked for me is green vegetables, healthy diet.

[@GuidetteExpert]

I love gel moisturizer, feel it holds the moist in my skin longer then a oily cream. It is good enough for me when living in the North. I use a car anyways.

[@___Neona]

I love these reaction videos so much ! you break everything down so well ! thanks auntie 💕 Also auntie do you have a video where you share what serums / actives we can use while on oral Accutane ?

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

thank you, niece!!! I don't have a video on that---with oral accutane, I would refer to the doctor who prescribe it to you for that insight.

[@dianeweekes7759]

You're absolutely 💯 right I can't use coconut oil even in my hair it's very drying and at least she said it's not going to work for everybody and I have sun damage so my skin is extremely sensitive so thanks again for your chanel You're so amazing to me I feel so good that you were so transparent with your botox and fillers it really encouraged me love 💕 ❤ your chanel

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

thanks, Diane! so glad I could help ❤️❤️

[@TheILoveLISAMICHELLEShow]

I absolutely love Stephanie Voltaire’s videos. Her skincare routine is awesome!🌸💝

[@laraalivia3372]

Is coconut oil still a problem if you wash it off with a soapy cleanser?

[@mikajohnson44]

Same question I have

[@aic0809]

I really enjoyed this video. You have such a nice way of breaking things down without disparaging the person you’re talking about. Although Stephanie’s regimen would cause too much irritation for me, I wholeheartedly commend her for her commitment to her skin, including knowing what works for her. ETA: “Dave Soap” instead of “Dove”!!! 💀💀😂😂😂

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ada!! 💕 & LMAO 🤣

[@misslady6617]

I wish I could use niacinamide! I have extremely oily, acne prone, hyperpigmentation prone skin & I'm allergic to it as well as benzoyl peroxide😭 I wish there was more out there for me but salicylic acid & retinol are the only ingredients I've found that I can use.

[@courtneyduncan7810]

We have the exact same skin!

[@cwcg4991]

To each their own but these are way too many steps and products for me. Too many actives and mechanical exfoliation being used at the same time as well. This was reminding me of jada pinketts unnecessary skincare routine. Her skin does look nice though so Im glad she found something that works for her.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

maybe because I've reacted to routines with waaaay more products, this one wasn't that bad to me lol

[@vxnity3086]

heyy, can you or anyone create a dermatologist approved skincare routine for oily + acne prone skin (thats on an affordable budget)? and may you add all recommended products in order like how people say start off with a cleanser, exfoliate, (toner possibly?) and etc? also, what products are "thick and thin"? and what products aren't really a necessity, in your own opinions? i very much enjoy your reactions & thank youu ~

[@greenytaddict]

Can you do a video on different face masks that you have tried or review videos?I'm currently trying the gleaming vitamin c turmeric face masks, love the smell and brightening effects.

[@influenceforpurpose]

You talked about oils in one of your old videos and I learned for my skin that Argan oil or almond oil work better for make up remover for me. The coconut oil does clog my pores! I love it for the rest of my body but not the face.

[@lauraartis5452]

Jojoba oil is a good option as well.

[@juhnetmickerdy]

Yes! Coconut oil clogged my pores so bad 🥴 learned the hard way Yes niacinamide is in almost everything now! but from my personal experience and being acne prone a separate serum that’s more potent has done wonders for my skin!! It’s a necessity!

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

thanks for sharing that insight about your experience with niacinamide!

[@nena3694]

I will like to have a minimalist skin routine.

[@chuvaam]

That baby hair glued to her face while she's doing her skincare routine....😬. But her skin is gorgeous tho, so it's working for her and I'm here struggling with my skin🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@mamus.]

Yea my thoughts my exactly. The baby hairs didn't move an inch

[@bcoral8101]

I love your reaction vids! I never know how to include retinol if I’m using AHAs at night. Any tips? Also your hair is 😍😍😍 I hope you don’t mind my asking, but is it a unit? If so, can you please share details? My synthetica is playing with my emotions rn 😭

[@juhnetmickerdy]

It’s recommended to alternate nights to avoid irritation

[@sweetange7553]

@B Coral: You don't use AHAs every day, you can introduce retinol on the days you don't use them. If it's the first time with retinol, start with a lower % and upgrade slowly. Hope you are not over exfoliating your skin with AHAs. Retinol too when introduced in a skincare routine is not used every single day. Use like twice a week and see how your skin reacts.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

echoing the previous two comments! love this community :)

[@ayemad]

Between the paper towels and the three wipes, I fear for the environment.

[@kaylynn8530]

She basically washed her face three times. That seems excessive.

[@katarzynasylla5143]

And to say afterwards that toner also removes make up or dirt at this point ... Something is a problem here

[@alwayslookingnorth]

Can you do a video on hyperpigmentation on your upper lip? It’s giving me the look of a mustache 😭 and I haven’t seen much treatment info on if for darker skin

[@db-gb5xi]

I know Dr Dray has a video but don't know about if she addresses darker skin.

[@styleandbeautydoctor]

it's the same steps I talk about it in every hyperpigmentation video I do, but for that specific area, look into what may be causing it: is it from using tissues to blow your nose that are too rough for your skin, is it from drinking something that's irritating your skin, etc. Try to find the trigger otherwise you'll always be in a cycle of getting the discoloration and fading it.

[@MoreAboutNothingPod]

I’ve found that brushing my teeth before washing my face has helped with irritation in that area

[@robinjackson6020]

I just wanted to share how I made a dramatic difference in my Melasma. I was prescribed by my dermatologist Tri -Luma to use 12 weeks instead of eight weeks because my melasma was that severe. Tri-Luma® Cream is a unique triple- combination topical therapy for the short-term (8-week ) treatment of the dark spots associated with moderate-to-severe facial melasma. Fluocinolone acetonide 0.01% is a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. Due to 4 % hydroquinone in the cream I must take a break for four months before using the 4% Hydroquinone again.

Not gonna lie. I'm lazy, and that was a lot of steps and products. I appreciate you saying to show yaself some grace and celebrate what you can get done. I also have a facial brush by Vanity Planet that comes with a daily, exfoliating, silicone (for sensitive skin) and body brush. If I use the brush daily, my skin does a lot better using the silicone brush. I use micellar cleansing water to take off my makeup after using a couple of wipes. I wash my face with my hands first with water and the cleanser, rinse, then use the brush with the facial cleanser. I use a toner and don't always use a serum because most mornings I run late, so I don't have much time, or at night if I want to hurry up and go to bed. I always moisturize and use sunscreen in the mornings, even if I'm not leaving the house during the day.
