🚨HOW TO MULTIPURPOSE UNWANTED PRODUCTS PART 3️⃣!🚨SAVE for part 4! Multipurpose it is my jam. I love and am always trying to find alternative ways to use products. Here are the 3 ways I talk about in this video: 1️⃣ Use unwanted facial mists on your body. This helps absorb your body moisturizer and keeps you more hydrated. 2️⃣ Use unwanted cleansing balms in place of shaving cream. I actually did this yesterday morning! This is such a great replacement for shaving cream. Works like a charm. 3️⃣ Use unwanted serums in your hand cream or body moisturizer. I use vitamin C in this video which will help with any body hyperpigmentation. #winwin *vitmain C normally oxidizes so it typically has a 6 month expiration. You can def use this method if you your Vitamin C is close to expiration*. Have you tried any of these multipurpose methods?

🚨VIRAL PRODUCT ALERT!🚨 I’ve been meaning to get this post up for you guys! After the @peterthomasrothofficial eye treatment went viral on @tiktok, I put myself on the mailing list alert @sephora so that when it gets restocked I can get my hands on it. Also saw the one for the face and had to snatch that too. Took me a couple tries! But eventually got my hands on both. Truly not another product like it! I’ve broken it down by price/quantity/ingredients/pros/cons/tips! Any questions? Drop them down below! ⬇️ I’ll have more posts up on this product in the coming weeks! #viralproduct #peterthomasroth #liquidbotox #skincareproduct #antiwrinkle (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU5QDpkpA-n/?utm_medium=tumblr

🚨TOP 4 EXFOLIANTS BROKEN DOWN BY SKIN TYPE!🚨<$38! Save for later! Love a good chemical exfoliant so I’ve broken these down by skin type/ingredient/quantity/price. Let’s list the products really quick. ✨ @firstaidbeauty Oil-Minimizing Toner ✨ @youthtothepeople Mandelic Acid + Superfood Unity Exfoliant ✨ @paulaschoice 8% AHA Lotion Exfoliant ✨ @deciem Azelaic Acid 10% Let’s go through some tips: ⚡️ If you have oily skin Salicylic acid should be your #bff. It is a BHA + oil soluble so it’ll go deep down into the pores to exfoliate. ⚡️ If you have sensitive skin sticking to Lactic or Mandelic Acid is preferred since they are both pretty gentle. They are both an AHA that help exfoliate the surface of your skin. ⚡️ If you have dry skin Glycolic Acid is for you. It is an AHA that not only has exfoliating properties but also binds to water. So it helps keep your skin hydrated. ⚡️ If you have Sensitive/Acne Prone/Rosacea Prone Skin Azelaic Acid should be your go to ingredient. Helps with hyperpigmentation, redness, acne scars, and inflammation. Ingredients are 🔑! And please rem that each active ingredient comes in different percentages in different products. So if a product is too high in strength for you, try using a lower strength. What’s your skin type/favorite exfoliant? Any questions?

🚨3-STEP CALMING/SOOTHING AM routine for ALL SKIN TYPES!🚨 SAVE AND SWIPE RIGHT FOR TEXTURES! All 3 items are so great! I’ll post where to get them from in my shoplist linked in my bio sometime today. But in the meantime let’s talk about each item: 💦 @cocokind Ceramide Serum is like an all in 1 serum. Hydrating + Barrier Repairing + Milk Exfoliation to help with skin texture. It’s affordable AND effective. Such a win. If I don’t cleanse in the AM I’ll give my skin a quick rinse with water and leave it moist enough for this serum to absorb. 💆🏻‍♀️ @drjart Tiger Grass Calming Gel Cream. If you’ve been following along for some time you know this is my favorite lightweight cream. My second tube for the year and I love it. It smells like a spa. Perfect for all year round and has great ingredients. ☀️ @renskincare Matifying Mineral SPF 30 literally smells like fruity pebbles. I’ve attached a texture video since I really do feel the texture of spfs are important! It’s spreads well and doesn’t leave a white caste. Any questions? Ask them in the comments section. I will answer them as they come! ⬇️ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUITFaVpS3A/?utm_medium=tumblr

🚨4-STEP AFFORDABLE ANTI-AGING & HYDRATING Routine for OILY/COMBO ACNE PRONE SKIN!🚨 Save and swipe right for texture videos! Short, sweet, and to the point. Let’s go through some tips. ✨Salicylic Acid should be your BFF if you are acne prone. It dissolves all the dead skin cells in your pores = less acne. The SA Cleanser from @cerave is great. ✨Polyglutamic acid really doesn’t get talked about often. It’s like Hyaluronic Acid but on crack. Draws in moisture since it’s a humectant. Also, I apply it on damp skin. So I’ll leave my skin a bit damp after cleansing. This will not only hydrate but indirectly help with aging. Hello plump skin. I like the one from @theinkeylist. It does have a indescribable scent though. Heads up. ✨The texture smoothing cream from @cocokind is actually great for all skin types. Not too thick, not too thin. ✨You don’t necessarily need to add the last oil step but it’s a thin enough consistency for oily skin. FYI just because you have oily skin doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use an oil. On the contrary actually. Oils=sebum control=less acne=clearer skin. Any questions? Ask away!⬇️ Y’all asked for this routine, so here it is! 🎉 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAk1zUL_9y/?utm_medium=tumblr

🚨3 Sunscreens GREAT for OILY/COMBO ACNE PRONE SKIN!🚨SAVE AND SWIPE RIGHT FOR TEXTURES! Let’s break them all down! ☀️ @larocheposay MINERAL sunscreen is also great for dry skin. It goes on so well and the application is VERY easy. ☀️ @bioreus CHEMICAL sunscreen has a pretty high alcohol content. I use it for reapplication more than anything. This is because I have dry skin and alcohol will only dry me out more. It’s super thin and watery like in consistency. ☀️ @versed MINERAL sunscreen has a little bit of a tint to it. This sunscreen actually just got reformulated so that it has less particles *personally never found it bothersome.* I use this sunscreen daily on work days. Non-irritating and it gives my skin a glow. Any questions? Drop them! ⬇️ what’s your skin type-and favorite sunscreen? I would love to know! https://www.instagram.com/p/CT4363Wpgjc/?utm_medium=tumblr

⁣🚨A COMPARISON OF 2 DIFFERENT @cerave ACNE WASHES!🚨 Swipe right for texture videos! All it really boils down to is the main ingredient in both. Salicylic Acid Vs. Benzoyl Peroxide. As well as the textures. I’ve broken it down by quantity/price/ingredients/where you can purchase it from. But let’s break down further. ⠀ ⠀ ⭐BPO bleaches towers, clothes, and Sutton dj f areas so be careful while using it. ⠀ ⭐BPO works by killing acne causing bacteria. Therefor it is a direct way of aiding existing acne + helping irradiate future acne. ⠀ ⭐Salicylic Acid is a BHA. It works by cleaning off dead skin cells which in turns helps reduce inflammation/acne. This is an indirect way of helping with acne. ⠀ ⭐These two ingredients should not be used together.⠀ ⠀ Any questions? Drop them down below ⬇ I’ll answer them as they come!
