If you like Vasanti Brighten Up I think you’d love Exfolikate! (Tingles a bit more but I was a big Vasanti fan, and I still am, but the Exfolikate blows it out of the water). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822168 Sun, 13 May 2018 06:42:21 +0000 gotkimchi 2822168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: thanks I will check that out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822165 Sun, 13 May 2018 06:01:26 +0000 Littlebit7 2822165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I like the ordinary niacinimide. It’s helped control my breakouts. You could also try glycolic or go to something stronger like a retinoid.<br /> The ordinary rosehip oil is also highly reccomended. As is accure blue Tansy oil<br /> The subreddit skincare addiction has been really helpful for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822138 Sat, 12 May 2018 20:39:27 +0000 gotkimchi 2822138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: great thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822134 Sat, 12 May 2018 20:11:07 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2822134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I’d add a vitamin c in the morning, and in the evening I’d alternate between your current glycolic acid and a retinol (I am using a Paula’s Choice retinol but I know some people swear by differin for breakouts - it’s an over the counter retinol that used to not be OTC I think).</p> <p>If you’re okay adding even more steps perhaps consider an essence and serum. I’m using the May Coop brand for both right now and love them!! It’s the May Coop raw sauce (essence), and I forget the official serum name, but you can find both on Costco.com right now for a super reasonable price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822126 Sat, 12 May 2018 19:36:24 +0000 gotkimchi 2822126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822123 Sat, 12 May 2018 16:54:54 +0000 youboots 2822123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: try Brighten up scrub from Vasanti. I get it from Birchbox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2822120 Sat, 12 May 2018 16:04:58 +0000 gotkimchi 2822120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: any recs for me to update my routine? I’ve been doing this </p> <p>- Cleanse<br /> - Pyunkang essence toner<br /> - The Ordinary HA<br /> - oil elixir</p> <p>PM:<br /> - Double cleanse<br /> - Pyunkang essence toner<br /> - The Ordinary Lactic acid<br /> - Oil elixir</p> <p>I’m all out of oil so I need something in it’s place and I’m open to trying something new. I’m also not sure if I need a stronger acid? I like how my skin is looking but I feel like the progress fades super quickly if I miss a day. Also I’m getting breakouts and id love something to help with that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795627 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 13:32:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2795627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I pat with my fingertips for the most part, but for acids/acid toners I use cotton pads. I started doing that after watching one of Gothamista's videos and she does it because it gives a more even finish, which makes sense to me, esp for acids. Recently, I have been using these ones based on a rec. These square ones absorb less product than the round thick cotton ones! </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Makeup-Facial-Cotton-Unbleached-180pcs/dp/B00VHA3ZXQ/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Makeup-Facial-Cotton-Unbleached-180pcs/dp/B00VHA3ZXQ/</a></p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: Yes, super well! It soaks in quickly and you won't even feel it on your face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795622 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 13:21:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2795622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Thanks for the SPF link. I'm using Retinol and really need extra sun protection during summer in FL. Does this apply well under makeup? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795559 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 08:48:50 +0000 gotkimchi 2795559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795558 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 08:34:43 +0000 looch 2795558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: I apply to my fingers and then pat onto my face. Using cotton pads wastes so much product.</p> <p>For the lighter watery essences, I decant into glass bottles with spray tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795536 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 05:38:42 +0000 gotkimchi 2795536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: awesome thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795530 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 01:31:36 +0000 peaches1038 2795530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: thank you so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795505 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 20:58:09 +0000 SweetiePie 2795505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: to piggy back off of what @Mrs. High Heels: said, you should typically apply products lightest to heaviest. So in general:</p> <p>- wash<br /> - toner/essence (watery consistencies)<br /> - Serum (more gel type consistencies)<br /> - oil/moisturizer </p> <p>There’s a good article about it on Mario Badescu’s website, I’ll look for it.<br /> ETA: here it is<br /> <a href="http://blog.mariobadescu.com/skin-care-regimen-4/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.mariobadescu.com/skin-care-regimen-4/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795493 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 20:05:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2795493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: I don't specifically seek out organic/natural products, but here are a few I've liked based on personal experience:</p> <p>- Whamisa Toner (I got mine at Costco online, and it's more like a toner-essence because it's thicker than a normal toner so great for hydrating... there are good reviews for most Whamisa products, so I have been wanting to try more from that brand!).</p> <p>-Youth to the People gel cleanser - at Sephora - gentle and non-stripping. <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/kale-spinach-green-tea-age-prevention-cleanser-P411387?skuId=1863588&#038;icid2=products%20grid:p411387" rel="nofollow">https://www.sephora.com/product/kale-spinach-green-tea-age-prevention-cleanser-P411387?skuId=1863588&#038;icid2=products%20grid:p411387</a></p> <p>And I also love the Drunk Elephant line, but they can be pricey. I really like their Vitamin C serum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795492 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 19:56:20 +0000 peaches1038 2795492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: not to threadjack but do you have any suggestions for natural/organic products? Right now all I’m using is alba face wash and Kimberly sawyer face lotion. I’m 32 and have combo skin and bags under my eyes (hello motherhood haha) I’d love any suggestions you have!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795491 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 19:54:43 +0000 gotkimchi 2795491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: perfect thank you so much!</p> <p>ETA no other products right now, i figured I’d just start with something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795490 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 19:47:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2795490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: nice! Are there any other products in your current routine?</p> <p>I'd do this in the AM:<br /> - Cleanse<br /> - Pyunkang essence toner<br /> - The Ordinary HA<br /> - Oil elixir (I personally don't use oil in the mornings, but you can)</p> <p>PM:<br /> - Double cleanse<br /> - Pyunkang essence toner<br /> - The Ordinary Lactic acid<br /> - Oil elixir </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-skincare-regimenim-clueless#post-2795488 Sun, 07 Jan 2018 19:38:06 +0000 gotkimchi 2795488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: ok so after reading this thread and checking the budget video you posted I ordered the following products in pic and ordinary lactic acid +ha</p> <p>What order am I supposed to use these in?

Even if you don't order the products from them, I just found all the guides, tutorials, articles, and reviews on products super helpful. </p>
