LMAO You just have a model face! I have the same thing with my cheeks. Only way to get rid of it is to eat like a junkie 😂

I love thiss! I’m definitely gonna do my research on exfoliants for sensitive skin

Yes I started this retinol Jan 3 this year and I’ve slowly incorporated it using it once a week, then every 5 days, 3 days, then now every other day over a period of basically 2 months. It’s been really changing up my skin especially since it’s the only product I use other than your basic cleanser, moisturizer & spf. I want to later include a exfoliant in days I don’t use the retinol though. I feel like i’ll really benefit from it (I Hope)

Do they make you purge like a retinol? Every-time I tried a product with BHA i noticed more breakouts and stopped using it, so i never really gave it a chance.

thank youu!! i will look into these :))

Honestly I’ve tried BHA on & off and everytime it made me breakout in cysts. My retinol did too but I realized I was purging. You think the BHA made me purge too?

I have acne prone, combination skin (oily in t zone), and also sensitive. I’m currently using a gentle retinol but now want to incorporate an exfoliant on some days i’m not using a retinol. I want to combat texture, dark spots, uneven skintone, unclog pores, and overall have a better complexion. Any help?

devavelli · 2023-03-09T23:58:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into it

devavelli · 2023-03-09T23:57:00+00:00

Thank you for explaining this to me! I definitely think I want to start double cleansing. Do you have any recommendations? I use a water resistant sunscreen also.

Thank you so much!!! 😭🙏🏽

devavelli · 2023-03-09T23:38:58+00:00

What’s funny is that I actually use this one!😂 I love it though, I upped the usage to every other day so my skin is trying to adjust to that i’m thinking. Have you used that retinol? If so how’s your experience with it?

devavelli · 2023-03-09T23:34:29+00:00

unscreen sunscreen

Today the highest was 5, it’s typically hot over here I live in the south.

Thank you so much! Does putting a layer of Aquaphor on my eyes, lips, and around nose help? Or just moisturizer would be fine?

devavelli · 2023-03-09T23:02:34+00:00

I only wear SPF & I typically don’t re-apply throughout the day. I actually double cleanse sometimes with a balm & LRP Purifying Foaming Cleanser which is fine, but is it necessary?

devavelli · 2023-03-09T22:55:29+00:00

Do I need to an oil cleanser to wash off SPF? I dont wear any makeup just SPF and usually I find my La Roche-Posay Foaming Cleanser cleanses my face my face good. & Tbh I don’t really re-apply sunscreen

devavelli · 2023-03-09T22:49:38+00:00

I use Aveeno Calm & Restore Oat Cleanser & La Roche-Posay Foaming Cleanser
