I was wondering if you ever felt the need to cut down the number of products you were using in your routine to simply return to the basics. 

Why did you decide to do that ? 

Have you seen results from it compared to what you were doing before ? 

Do you prefer having a very minimalist routine or one with several products involved ? 



Thank you for your time !

Ever been on a skin diet ?

What products do you recommend/use that contains retinol ? 

I know about TO’s retinol serums and the IL’s. 

I want to start my retinol journey to mainly treat acne and acne scars. 

Thank you for your time and answers !

Retinol for beginners

hey everyone ! 

here’s what i was wondering :

do you wait a few minutes before applying your products in your routine (wait for your skin to fully absorb for example) or do you finish applying one and immediately apply the product of your next step ?

if you alternate between waiting and not waiting, in which cases do you prefer to wait/not wait ? 

let me know !

wait before applying skincare ?

Tell me what is your favorite lip care product (lip balm, lip mask, for cold sores if you are concerned, gentle scrubs, treatments..). 
What do you enjoy the most when using it ? The smell ? The texture ? How well does it work for you ? 

Thank you !

Your favorite lip care product?

Tell me what are your favorite sunscreens suited for oily skin. I am using these for now (products that are available here in Europe) but I still don’t know if I really like them or not (I would say the Ren Clean maybe ?).

If you have opinions on these you can also write them ! I haven’t tried the Clinique one yet and I will maybe purchase the SVR and La Roche Posay ones.

Favorite Sunscreen for oily skin

A little bit long to rinse off. You have to take your time in order to not let any product on your face after. Be careful not to use this every day ! I use it 1x per week before going to bed when I don’t forget it. This isn’t a product you should use for your daily routine !

It didn’t cause redness or irritation to my skin. I felt like my face was really clean and healthy after use. It helps with my acne and doesn’t dehydrate my skin. Very affordable.

The bottle this comes in. It’s just not the most practical to use for this kind of serums. You have to wipe before and after every use and I don’t find it very hygienic. I prefer TO’s dropper and would switch back to this one since I saw more results with it.

Good ingredients list, didn’t irritate my skin and the price point is also very affordable.

I don’t feel like this is worth the price. A lot of better moisturizers are available at a cheaper cost and with a better composition. I also didn’t like the smell. I won’t repurchase this product for these reasons.

It absorbed well into my skin and I didn’t react badly to it. The dry-touch feeling is very nice for my oily skin.

I wouldn’t recommend this if you know your going to be exposed to the sun since it’s only an SPF 15. Not the best for oily skin, I can only apply a little amount if I don’t want my face to be sticky throughout the day. Even after working it between my fingers and evenly apply it across my face it still leaves a strange  white cast. Not water resistant.

The smell is okay, the price as well. It doesn’t irritate the skin and the fact that this is vegan and cruelty-free is very nice.

My skin was a liiittle bit tight after rinsing the product off. This is something I don’t experience with my other cleansers.

If you enjoy bubble cleansers this is a product you would definitely enjoy. It’s very gentle on the skin and still cleanse very well. Easy to rinse off. 1 or 2 pumps is usually enough for the whole face.
