Skincare Q+A

Skincare Q+A:
.
🧴Q: What are your favorite moisturizers?
A: I love the new Omega moisturizer from @paulaschoice (pictures) however it isn’t my top favorite. I really love their Youth-extending daily hydrating fluid for AM and their moisture boost or their Intensive repair cream for PM. What works for my skin may be different than yours, however these products are formulated like a dream with no irritants so I recommend giving them a try
.
☀️🌙Q: How many times a day should I moisturize?
A: 2x, AM + PM
.
🌪Q: Is it okay to mix sunscreen in with moisturizer or foundation?
A: No, mixing will dilute the SPF, however It IS okay to layer it on
.
🧖🏻‍♀️Q: What moisturizer should I get for my age?
A: Age is NOT a skin type. Are you dry? Do you have hyper pigmentation? What are your skincare concerns? Base your skincare products off of your skin concerns, not your age
.
💧Q: Do you put face oil or moisturizer on first?
A: Fast absorbing oils like marula, squalane, + grapeseed can be applied first then your moisturizer. Thicker + slower absorbing oils like evening primrose + avocado oil can be applied alone for someone with dry/dehydrated skin. If you are V dry then I suggest hyaluronic acid under face oil so you get water and oil.
.
🦷 Q: Can I put toothpaste on a pimple?
A: Absolutely not :)
.
🌬❄️Q: What products should I keep in the fridge?
A: Vitamin C serums to prevent oxidation; Sheet masks; eye gel masks; Jade rollers
.
💦Q: Can I skip moisturizer if I have oily skin?
A: No. Oily skin produces more oil bc it may lack water + the surface can be dehydrated. Adding moisturizer can balance your skin.
.
⛄️🖌Q: What’s your favorite tip when you get a pimple?
A: Ice it, this will help shrink it, reduce swelling + pain. + for makeup, you can make it a freckle with brown liner instead of putting concealer on it and drying it out. It’s actually pretty chic.
