hi

so i have 2 questions concerning skin/beauty stuffs.

1- what is a product u would recommend for acne? bc i have it and i hate it and nothing works

2- can u pls recommend me a very very gentle makeup remover?? no matter what i use, it always makes my eyelids swell and it burns, even if i'm not allergic to it/it doesn't do the same on my body.

thank u i appreciate u

I had really bad acne no matter what I tried until I started using the Paula's Choice acne kit.
I'd even get cystic acne, but haven't had any since it cleared up.
Now I only breakout due to hormonal changes or after trying a new product that doesn't work for me, but it's mild and easy to manage.

Instead of the full-sized kit, I started with the extra strength travel kit to test whether it worked for me.
They also have a regular strength travel kit if you don't need something that strong.
You can buy everything in the kit separately as well.
I've stopped using the exfoliant in favor of other products since my skin has cleared, but it worked great while my skin was broken out.
I only use the Daily Skin Clearing Treatment as a spot treatment since it can be drying and my skin is already dry, so it lasts forever.

I waited until my skin was clearer to start trying out new skincare products outside of the kit, since some irritated my skin further.
If you have a moisturizer that works for you then stick with it, but if you don't I'd recommend The Honest Co. Purely Simple Unscented Face & Body Lotion (I think it's technically a baby lotion, but it dries quickly, isn't greasy, and wears well under my makeup, so it's what I've been using lately) or one of Cerave's moisturizers.
I stay away from moisturizers that are made for acne prone skin unless I've checked the ingredients because they tend to have alcohols in them that aren't good for your skin, plus I find them drying.

I haven't found a sunscreen that I like enough to recommend, but you should start using one if you don't already.
Certain ingredients in skincare products can leave your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so it's extra important.

To remove makeup I use L'oreal Micellar Cleansing Water.
They have a few different formulas depending on your skin type and one for waterproof makeup.
A lot of brands have put out their own micellar water and they don't all have the same formula, so you might even be able to find something specifically for sensitive eyes/skin if you look for it.
Most that I've tried have been pretty gentle though.

I already linked to one of her videos, but maybe check out Veronica Gorgeois on Youtube.
She's an esthetician and a lot of her videos are on skincare.

And you should be using cool to lukewarm water to wash your face.
The tip someone gave about washing with warm water then rinsing with cold is outdated.

For acne I suggest checking out the subreddit skincareaddiction from reddit, they have a really in depth beginners guide for your skin type and all sorts of other things like that.

For makeup remover I agree with ixora, the water is good. If you don't have oily skin, you can use a little bit of virgin coconut oil on your face and rinse it off with water. I use it for my waterproof eye makeup so i dont have to scrub with a makeup pad. I cleaned out an old gel eyeliner container really well and put some coconut oil in it, I just take a small dab on my finger and gently massage it onto my lids, then rinse it with warm water.

We’ll carry on

@Hazer: how much do they pay you for promoting it time and time again?
