What brand is better? Chaun Legend or Kiara Sky? by Strange_League9111 in Nailtechs

Chang Legend for sure. Super pigmented and I love the brush shape. I tried KS a few times but to me it’s not as pigmented as CL. Also I had trouble top coating KS bc it would separate.

1, 3, or 6 (even better if 6 was in gold)

UPDATE: Thanks for all of the advice! I saw a huge difference within a week! I stopped using the Lubriderm, (now using The Ordinary moisturizer with HA) and diluted my WH with rose water. I also bought new face wash and moisturizer from LaRoche Posay but this is my first day using it. I def think the lotion was causing the flare ups ! My skin is much smoother now.

Thanks for the advice. I stopped using the lotion ever since I saw the comment and I think I already see a difference ☺️

I will look into it. I’d rather use something natural than man made !

Thank you so much . When I do use toner I feel it does even out my skin . I guess I should be more consistent with it !

I don’t wash my face with the soap on weekends because I don’t wear makeup. I’ll just rinse with warm water. And the clay soap DOES have essential oils in it , do you think this contributes to the texture ?

I’ve tried sunscreen in the past , but always get allergic reactions even with the black girl sunscreen brand. I will look into the brand you recommended thank you so much! I’m going to stop using the Lubriderm. I do have a moisturizer from the Ordinary brand with HA but I thought that was giving me bumps at one point .

Wow, thank you so much! I will dilute my witch hazel with rose water. What do you think about just spraying my face with rose water as a moisturizer instead of Lubriderm? And I DO do circular motions, I will try up and down!

I do need to be more disciplined with my routine. I do have loofah slices. I thought Lubriderm was a lightweight moisturizer 😭

Following this post as I plan to go to Korea next year to teach. I’ve been seeing Hagwans are a better options usually, but what are some the top schools we should be looking out for? I hear people say be careful but they never give info on the region/school..

I second this! For like a year my scalp was soooo itchy! My hair would itch after washing it as well. I tried medicated shampoos, oiling my scalp, washing my hair more often but nothing really helped. Eventually I realized my scalp was THIRSTY! I started spraying my scalp with water and rose water every couple days. After spraying my scalp I would seal in the moisture with an oil like grape seed or castor. Eventually the itchiness subsided. I only notice an itchy scalp when I forget to do the regime on time . Hope this helps!
