I feel like lately everyone wants the “dewy” look. Even though I have dryer skin I still prefer the matte look, but still glowy.
Sometimes it’s hard to find a good balance.

Which finish do you prefer, matte or dewy?

Dewy or Matte?

I really love dramatic eyeliner unfortunately I have hooded eyes and an unsteady hand, pls share any tips for even application 🙏🏽

Eyeliner help

I’m a tad indecisive and I want to know which antioxidant serum I already have to open first.

Please comment 😭

Edit: they ALL expire next year, so I’m not considering that. Also please I’m aware of the benefits of all. And they all contain vit c.
Please just choose one 😭

Which should I pick?

Recently a step I’ve been taking to mitigate irritation from retinoid is to use it as a wash off mask. I got it from labmuffinbeautyscience’s vid a while back.

How I do it is most times I’ll apply the retinoid about an hour or two before I know I’ll do my skin care routine. Then when it comes time to do my routine, I just wash it off and proceed with hydrating barrier repair routine.

When I feel my skin can handle it, I may start using it overnight. But it’s really about finding what works for you and setting a good pace for yourself. I’ve  found that this has helped reduce a lot of irritation and get me acclimated to retinoids lot faster. 

Would you try this?

* A lot of people are asking about the sandwich method. And I am currently using the sandwich method, but I started after using this short contact therapy method to get my skin acclimated to retinoids.

Because when I had done it initially my skin had still reacted negatively to the retinoid, and was very dry

Retinoids tip to reduce irritation

I saw a video where someone was talking about reducing signs of redness without makeup. And then they used the dr. Jart color correcting treatment.

For those who don’t know this product is pigmented to the point that someone my skin tone can’t use it. I consider myself a light brown for reference.

The video just felt a bit misleading to me cause I’d consider the product at least makeup adjacent. So where do you draw the line?

What is makeup?

It might be too strong for those new to vitamin C

-Since vitamin C is notoriously hard to formulate and degrades when exposed to air and other outside influences the ampoules are packed individually and are at peak freshness for 48 hours and I really love this I think it’s so innovative and gets the best out of vitamin C.

It also features peptides to help resist photo aging and hyaluronic acid for hydration 

It’s a really lightweight texture that doesn’t leave a film on the skin and sinks in easily.

It smells a bit like burnt citrus

Layers well with other products in my routine
