Sephora

@reet033 Can you give us more info about your specific skin? Skin type/behavior (dry, oily, combo, "normal"/balanced), aside from acne-prone Current skincare routine (brands + product names), from cleanser to sunscreen Type(s) of acne you have, if you know (whiteheads, blackheads, cystic, "hormonal," etc.) Any other skincare goals or issues you have (what do you want skincare to do for your skin) Skin sensitivities or true allergies you know of That info will help us provide better recommendations. 🙂 If you don't already have a simple routine of PM gentle cleanser (AM optional), AM & PM moisturizer, and AM sunscreen, that's a good starting point. There are cleansers that contain acne-fighting ingredients (usually benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid) you can use a few times a week. Have you already tried salicylic acid/BHA products?

I also have hopelessly dry skin despite always taking care of my skin so I understand the struggle. The most under - rated, not talked about foundation for dry skin I’ve found is Wander Beauty Nude Illusion Foundation. It’s so beautiful on and it looks like skin despite being medium coverage. It doesn’t pick up dry patches. The downfall to it is the shade range is the fair, light, etc tinted moisturizer type of range which may be why it’s not talked about. I also see Sephora hasn’t restocked it in a long time so they may be dropping it. If you can manage to get your hands on a bottle then I suggest trying it. I have so many mid to high end foundations (Dior, Nars Natural Radiant and Sheer Glow, Good Apple, MAC, Estée Lauder, Charlotte Tilbury, IL Makiage, Yensa etc etc and this one is the only one I’ve ever been wowed with.

@lmaster Thank you sweetie!

Hi @BunnyMona ! Did you check the list of brands Sephora carries? Korean skincare brands on that list include Amorepacific, Laneige, Sulwhasoo, Innisfree, Dr. Jart, belif, and maybe a couple others I’m not thinking of. Ulta carries COSRX, Hanskin, belif, TonyMoly, and maybe a couple other Korean brands. Other online stores that carry Korean skincare: Olive Young YesStyle Stylevana Pink n Blossom (based in Canada) Jolse Masksheets iHerb I'm sure other folks can add more stores to that list. I've ordered from all of those except iHerb. You can also buy direct from some brands. I've often bought direct from Abib, Neogen, COSRX, and Jayjun with no problems.

Numerous factors can lead to acne. Simply said, abundant natural oil (sebum) that is deposited and stuck in the skin pores is what causes acne. This results in skin irritation that either leaves a pit or a blemish after healing. It would be a hub for the same even more if you have oily skin. Stress and hormonal imbalance are the two main factors that can cause acne and scarring. After cleansing, apply a dot, tacky-side down, directly onto your blemish. For best results, wear for six hours. Results may vary. Hold up!

@CookieGirl1 Thanks so much ❣️

A couple of new multipliers tonight  

No, and i wash my hair 3 times a week !

@Uvyy If you can’t find the products, try searching for scalp massager on Sephora or Ulta (or even amazon). I think any of the options will do. You could use a hair oil as a mask the night before and put it up in a bun or in a cap so it doesn’t break you out. I searched and found the Curlsmith Super Slip Pre-Wash Primer, which looks really interesting because you’re just supposed to use it under a clarifying shampoo without rinsing it out first. That seems like a great choice. The Mane Choice Heavenly Halo Pre-Poo seems to have very nice hydrating ingredients. I haven’t tried either but the ingredients seem good and both have decent reviews. You can keep it at the middle and ends of your hair so it doesn’t mess with your scalp. You can also consult your derm about using them along with your prescribed shampoo.Silicones are usually in conditioner and styling products so depending on what conditioner you’re pairing your shampoo with, it may or may not have them. Idk if your derm recommended a conditioner as well but using a conditioner with some silicones might prevent your hair from overdrying since it’s getting washed with a strong shampoo often.
