Skincare for Everyone

These are all options that would (hopefully) work for all skin types, I did my best to find these for all of you and keep it as inclusive as possible.

They are all products I’ve used and liked, affiliate links may be used. 

Everyone is different so, of course, I can’t make any guarantees! Ask box is always open for specific inquiries.

Glossier Products I Love & Why

I, like most of us, first spotted Glossier on Instagram in the hands of ~cool girls~ & though “ooooh”. I looked into them but it was still fairly soon after launch and there weren’t many reviews - if any at all. So I waited.. and waited…until they launched The Supers, then they had my full attention.

THEN, I ordered. A Phase 1 & Phase 2 set, Super Pack, Rose Balm Dot Com, Mask Duo, Headband, Haloscope, Cloud Paint……aka a ton! I had to try as much as I could! It’s not like I could run to my local beauty store and test them out. Although, I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long!

Skincare Options for Oily Skin

I get a lot of questions about products for Oily skin, and I put together this comprehensive list ranging from cleansers to sunscreen that would all be ideal for truly Oily skin. If you have more Combination skin, oily in the T-Zone and balanced or dry elsewhere you needn’t use one from each category. To get an idea of your skin type, cleanse your face and leave it for 2 hours before inspecting. 

Products with a * denote what I currently use, those with ** denote products I’ve used in the past.

stupid q here but....how often should I replace mascara?

every 3-4 months :)

[youresthibestie]

do you like the Sephora skin care line? I am tempted to buy the eye cream but if it's not Anna approved then I don't want it

absolutely give it a shot!

What are your thoughts on dermasuction?

totally don’t suggest

[youresthibestie]

I really need a good option for a drugstore deep moisturizer that won’t clog my pores or break me out or make me too greasy. After years of breaking out I finally got my sensitive skin under control with a garnier moisturizer but I want something a little more hydrating if i can find one. I’m in college and broke so i cannot buy the nice ones rn #mood #rip heLP

You’re in luck! There are a lot of affordable, inexpensive moisturizers! I’d suggest adding in an essence or serum too, layering the moisture will be better to prevent dryness.

I like the Red Earth Deep Dive Water Essence, you’d shake a bit in your palm after cleansing and pat into face/neck. L’Oreal has a great hyaluronic acid serum, and finish with something like this from Sephora

What are your thoughts on the OleHenriksen Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner and Banana Bright Eye Creme? They’re super popular with influencers I follow and I’m wondering if it’s being overhyped or if it’s actually good. I have dry/sensitive skin and redness is a concern.

Ole includes a lot of essential oils, and citrus acids/juices and I don’t suggest using those on skin. Causes irritation and can damage your skin when exposed to sun

Omg also congrats on your Jeffree block!!!!!

thank u so much

I’m looking at red earth’s deep dive water essence. Have you tried? I’m wondering if the consistency is more of a serum. If so, could I mix it with drunk elephant’s retinol cream?

Yes I love it!! I don’t think the texture would really work well with A Passioni, thats thicker - you’d really have to work at it. I also don’t think it would be the best at trying to combat the dryness that retinol can cause. 

It’s great as an AM moisturizer if you’re doing the DE at night! 

You can get 15% off  on Red Earth through my rep link too! Sometimes Red  Earth has good sales tho, unsure if the discount works well w/sales

what are your thoughts on derma rolling and dry brushing?

Either is fine, I do prefer gua sha tools vs derma rolling. Dry brushing I haven’t tried in years, but would be willing to do again!

[youresthibestie]

do you think it'd be necessary/beneficial to use a hyaluronic acid serum & vitamin c serum in the morning? if so, which one would you use first? and would you have any recs? my skin is normal & acne-prone and i have a lot of dark spots. sorry for all the q's, and thanks for always being so helpful!

I would use the HA first, Vit C second. you can always use Vit C in the AM and HA in the PM. Either way would work. I’ve recently switched from DE C Firma to Peter Thomas Roth Potent C, and my skin has never looked better. I went through like, 5 bottles of C Firma before landing on Potent C. It’s fantastic. Highly recommend!!!

What’s a good night time lotion for dry skin? I feel like my skin gets pretty dry, especially in the winter!

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro!

What do you wash your face with? :)

I usually cleanse with Sephora Collection Coconut wipes and Glossier Milky Jelly as of late. I have used DE Beste in the past and adored it.

Hi so I’ve had oily skin my entire life up until recently and it’s now super dry. So NONE of the products I own are really doing much for my skin but every time I try to switch I always end up breaking out. What moisturizer would you recommend? (pls no fragrance it breaks me out) And if my eyelids are dry as well would an eye cream help with that?

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro is a must have for me during the late fall - winter.  It’s LUSH for your skin. Top it with an oil at night, like argan or marula, you can find those pretty inexpensive from The Ordinary, or travel sizes of Argan from Josie Maran will last you forever, you only need a few drops. I like DE Marula, it’s just expensive lol. Eye cream wise, Eye Doctor from Origins is fantastic.
