@keana1 I am impressed your skin can handle exfoliation right after dermaplaning! I’m a little scared to try that, does it work better for you at cleaning your skin than doing it on separate days?
@eshoe I just want to make sure that I can benefit more from the peeling solution by dermaplaning before, but I make sure that I don’t cut myself. If I had a small cut or nick, I wouldn’t use any acids afterwards! It doesn’t change anything as far as cleaning is concerned. I clean before dermaplaning, pat my skin dry, then I exfoliate. I’ve never had any problems doing this. But if you’re hesitant, you should dermaplane on a different day and exfoliate a few days later. 😉
Thank you, @keana1. I will try it sometime, I am curious how my skin would react. I appreciate your insights 🙂
Do you have any idea how your message ended up in my undesired mailbox ( in my iPad ) @eshoe ? I just happened to check it out and your message was there? I moved it to my inbox after seeing it. I’ve also had problems posting last week’s masking? Everything was screwed up ! 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t know, @keana1! I just realized last night I wasn’t getting notifications either🤷🏻♀️
Still not getting them @keana1, checked my junk folder and nada. Been missing out on a lot here!
@keana1 Yay, for all A+'s!! This definitely sounds like a winning combination of masks! The ThirstyMud is a favorite of mine! 🙌🥥😍
I ❤️❤️❤️ the Thirstymud @Shosh85 ! I hope that they never stop making it!
I also have some soothing masks so I can use them if my skin is either very dry or after using a peeling solution @lmaster ! But I really enjoy using the Dr. Weil for Origins soothing lotion as a post-peel toner! It feels great and absorbs quickly when I pat it on. You might like the fragrance if you enjoy patchouli or herbal extracts. It doesn’t have a floral scent and I know that you enjoy florals.
@keana1 I'm not opposed to those scents, just depends on how strong they are. Guess what... Oh yes pre birthday snow for me!!!!
Oh no ! Not snow ❄️! Happy birthday @lmaster ! 🎉🎂
Thank you so much @keana1 thank goodness it only lasted a few hours then it turned to rain, but we did get 6 inches 😱
WOW, 6 inches of snow! I hope that it melts soon @lmaster ! We had 2 straight days of rain, not fun either!
I keep intending to pick up the Ordinary AHA/BHA. How do you like it compared to the Babyfacial @keana1 ? Or are they just different?
The TO is a bit stronger than the Babyfacial @missjeanie so you should leave it on for a shorter amount of time but since it’s a dark pink, you can see exactly where you put it on. It doesn’t contain any soothing ingredients so a little TLC is required after you rinse it off! If you’re not used to acids you should leave it on for about 5-10 minutes first and gradually increase the amount of time that you have it on. I don’t want you to have irritated skin afterwards! 😱
OH I Like the stronger @keana1 ! I never really found babyfacial to be too strong, I only got a little tingling every now and again. I'll have to get on board and pick this one up to try! I like that you can see it going on!
”O” is for “Oh, yeah, I just finished a 3.4 oz. tub of wash-off mask!”😄
It feels sooooo good to finally put this one to bed. The Thank You Farmer Back to Relax Soothing Gel Mask was a frequent companion in my masking routine, reliable with a clean (think sheet mask) scent. I rated it a B; I don’t think I would repurchase because sometimes that scent was just a little much. My ideal soothing gel mask would be fruity. Or herbal. I would just love to take all my skincare scented like the YTTP Kale Cream!
The L’Herboflore Strawberry Glowing Hydromask looks so pretty and inviting; there doesn’t seem to be an abundance of strawberry-scented sheet masks so this had me curious. It’s different than the A’Pieu; this leans more artificial than milkshake. It’s not bad, quite sweet actually. It faded a couple of minutes after placing it on my face. The fit was decent, the serum was fine, too. It left a medium amount of tackiness, which I rinsed off since I could again detect the strawberry scent. I’ve been looking for some filler masks, and while this isn’t quite it, it’s fun and pretty. A B+ for this one.
Ingredients:
Congrats on finishing up the Thank you, Farmer @eshoe! It feels good to use up a product! Oh, I like the L'Herboflore brand and they have some good sheet masks; the strawberries on the packaging are making me hungry!
