    Yesterday I asked which new product launches you w Yesterday I asked which new product launches you wanted me to review. This series will be 100% unsponsored so I can be brutally honest! (Giveaway is my from my own product stash & details are below!) The new Dr. Dennis Gross Vitamin C with Lactic was the top requested product so which better to start with? 15% pure L-ascorbic acid (the most readily available form of Vitamin C) gives us antioxidant protection. Vitamin C is a long game. It’s like sunscreen. We really should be using it daily for years and years to help us protect our collagen and protect our skin cells from free radicals. I tell people not to expect a huge visible change from their Vitamin C but to trust that it’s working… that being said ⬇️ Lactic acid is added to this serum for some gentle exfoliation. This ingredient will help you notice a change in your skin quicker. It will also aid in exfoliating the surface pigmentation over time. This is a trick I love to use when I prescribe a regimen- when chemical exfoliation is included in a regimen, you’re more likely to stick with it because you’ll be encouraged by the changes you see early on. Much of skincare takes weeks or months to see, but exfoliation can work quickly! Licorice root is a tyrosinase inhibitor that aids in reducing the activity of our pigment producing skin cells! *I mistakenly mentioned this serum is $58 but it’s actually $85 😜 about half the price of the top Vitamin C serums in the market. I give this serum a 10 and I will be using this one until the last drop. #SKINTHUSIASTAPPROVED Okay now our GIVEAWAY! TO ENTER: 1. Comment on this video telling me the next product you want me to review in my *completely unbiased* review series!! 2. Share any one of my posts (literally any) to your stories! I’ll choose a winner on Sunday to send THIS SERUM AND AN ENTIRE BOX OF SKINCARE GOODIES! #vitamincserum #vitaminc #hyperpigmenation #melasmaroutine #skincareshelf #skincaretips #skincarerecommendations @drdennisgross @danniponce
    It took me a long time to finally buy these produc It took me a long time to finally buy these products and I’ve worn at least one of them almost every day since I did! The LES BEIGES Water-Fresh Complexion Touch and Blush have pigmented micro-droplets. The formulations are light/medium coverage but buildable and the finish is luminous. Ingredients like glycerin, triglycerides and castor oil both moisturize and hydrate the skin, but don’t be fooled. The texture is light and gel-serum like! Which product reviews do you want to see next? All my shades are tagged in stories and saved to the “shop posts” highlight! #everydaymakeup #lightcoveragemakeup #everydaybeauty #beauty #beautyreview #welovecoco #chanelbeauty @welovecoco

    A colleague of mine and i were chatting the other A colleague of mine and i were chatting the other day that my favorite kind of patient is the one who has skin that’s naive to all these ingredients because yes there may be some damage present but just getting them on the right products consistently is going to make a noticeable difference! #skintips #skincare #skindamage #sundamage

    I learned this tip from watching @makeupbynikkilar I learned this tip from watching @makeupbynikkilarose and @susanyara … here’s the thing: When you use a setting spray, although it will eventually give your makeup lasting power, the initial application still adds moisture to the skin. If your makeup is already set, it will soften with this step. It’s important to keep your expressions minimal until it dries fully to avoid creasing! I love this setting spray from @urbandecaycosmetics #beautytips #beautybloggers #makeuptips #settingspray #makeuphaul
    I get it.. lamination can seem like a big commitme I get it.. lamination can seem like a big commitment. Not everyone loves a bold brow like I do. A couple of weeks ago I was cutting it too close to a shoot and couldn’t have freshly laminated brows (they are SUPER bold the first few days as seen at the beginning of this video)… so instead I had them only shaped and used the Refy Brow Sculpt… I also use this in between appointments when my lamination is wearing off. Also something to keep in mind with lamination: your brow hairs are basically permed and will stay how YOU style them. You don’t have to style them boldly, you can brush them in any way you like and the lamination will just help keep them there. If you’re in Miami there is no one better than @mary____c___ at @geebeauty ! #brows #browlamination #beautybloggers @refybeauty

    Lately my DMs have been filled with tinted sunscre Lately my DMs have been filled with tinted sunscreen questions… I don’t exclusively use this brand but they do have one of the largest tinted sunscreen selections so I broke down a few of the most popular ones! I personally prefer UV Physical for balanced skin types. Elements and Restore are both great for dry types with Restore being the best option for mature skin or those who really like a dewy finish! (I didn’t cut my hair, this video was filmed awhile ago!)

AD I personally use these @naircare Sensitive Wax Strips at home to remove the hair around my bikini line, just be sure you patch test first!

    It’s so easy to get discouraged and give up on e It’s so easy to get discouraged and give up on everything we’ve been working so hard for when things seem like they just aren’t going how we’d planned. There will always be someone doing what you wish you could be doing, there will always be someone who started later than you and has “surpassed”, there will always be someone less qualified than you doing the very thing you dreamed of. But, what would “5 years ago” you say to “today” you? She’d probably be pretty damn proud. And “5 years from now” you will be even prouder! #skincarecommunity #skincare
