Yup. Acne continues☹️ I really thought acne was behind me at 58. Recently I had some gigantic underground blemishes on nose and chin. I think it was a combination of changing seasons and a serum that had an oil in it I don’t think agreed with my skin. A huge thank you for all your hair repair advice. After years of bleaching highlights on my sandy blond hair, I stopped and deepened my color. I’ve followed your repair product advice and things are really improving.❤
Try taking plain niacin twice a day. You'll have the niacin flush, but it passes quickly. Within two months I had perfect skin, seriously. I started niacin 12 years ago twice a day. It's marvelous.
Wow! I wonder if that'll be me. I am 38 and still get pimples every month. Pimple face is all I known since 15 years old. My mom gets random bumps on her face but it's due to her chemo it seems. I don't think they're acne.
Beautiful Abbey! After 5 years of following your channel, I have finally met my hair goal 🤩 all of my hairs are long enough to tie back without fly aways! Thank you for all your advice. At 40, I've never had better hair or skin. May 2025 be a successful year for you too. Love love love
GIRLLL... I bit my nails down to the cuticle for 20 years straight. I FINALLY grew them out fully, and the NUMBER 1 thing I attribute to their speedy growth is honestly just a soak of very warm water, a tsp of olive oil and a vitamin E gel tablet that I would pierce open and squeeze into the mix. It sounded hokey and I didnt expect good results, but after literal decades of buying serums and treatments, I did that soak 3 times a week and they grew like CRAZY.
Hi Abbey! Can you consider these ideas? - Updated UV damage video on hair - The effects of hard water on skin and hair - The science of hard water interacting with your products and how the weather can make things worse. I was doing everything right for my skin and hair and it was fine in the summer. Winter came and my skin freaked out and all of my hair products felt like they weren't working. The cold weather mixed with the 100% hard water i have really made all of my stuff stop working. I finally figured out that it was my water, not anything I was doing. I didn't find a lot of creators talking about the science behind these things, and I think it would be a really beneficial thing for a content creator of your following to talk about it. I think a lot of people deal with this and they don't even know about it. Thank you! I started watching your vids this year ❤
@AbbeyYung I've been having a hard time finding stuff, too. I'm going to be getting a filter soon. I switched to a hard water shampoo, and that helped out my hair a little bit. My hair was looking so nice in the summer, and then it got cold, and it felt like my products were sitting on the outside of my hair. The cold and the mineral build up was blocking anything from working. It took me almost 2 months to figure it out. My skin got worse, too. I think a lot of people try to do what's right in their routines, and I think this might be the unknown culprit for a lot of people. I was piling on more products until I researched more about water. I think a lot of people just aren't even aware of it.
OH YES! OH YES! OH YES! THIS WOULD BE A PHENOMENAL TOPIC THAT SO SO SO SO MANY WOULD LEARN FROM AND BE SO INTERESTED IN!!!!!!!!! PRETTY PLEASE ABBEY!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
There are some definite things i need to try! Also, as someone who got dry eye disease from retinol use (from migration, I never put it around my eyes) I wish doctors would make this more of an issue. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It changes your life. I can't wear ANY eye makeup and have few days where I can even wear my contacts, they hurt so bad.
I have severe dry eye and have tried everything from nose sprays to lasers, etc., etc., nothing has helped. In my case, it is caused by the 30+ years of wearing contacts which I can no longer wear. I have been dealing with it for 5 years and am waiting for new products to come out to try and help.
I had the same thing happen to me from using vitamin a. It caused dry eye disease/meibomian gland dysfunction. I never put the retinoid close to my eyes. My eye doctor said that vitamin a is so strong that even a microscopic speck can migrate to your eyes overnight and cause this. Also, he thinks that the vitamin a can actually kill the glands in your eyes through the skin even if it doesn’t get into your eye. He said it hasn’t been proven but it’s one of his theories. I cannot use anything now with any form of vitamin a derivative including retinol, retinyl palimate, etc. it always flared them back up! It truly causes terrible pain and I wish I would have never touched retinoids.
I started using the cica b5 gel right before my tret/azelaic acid cream from apostrophe and it does wonders at preventing irritation and also helps with barrier repair. I have legit gone through 6 tubes now as I also use it in the morning after my serums but before moisturizer and my skin just loves it. The best!!
Tazarotene was life changing for me! I had tried tretinoin for years, and it definitely helped with smoothing and little fine lines but not acne. Taz has been wonderful 😊
I am really excited to try the Eadam because it sounds like a great overnight lip treatment. If you’re interested in one that’s thick, nourishing, and without AHA in both scented and unscented versions… the Marin lip treatment is one I recently was gifted and love. I hear no one talking about it but it’s really a fantastic formula.
I’m 61 & again, my two favorite lip balms are The Naked Bee Orange Blossom Honey Lip Balm, that I buy at Ace Hardware for $6. And the Neutrogena Lip Sleeping Mask Balm in a tube, at Walmart for $7. Both Inexpensive and effective. I use the Naked Bee when out in Winter as it’s a stick balm, but also use both at night. I alternate between the two. When I wake up in the morning my lips are soft.💋💗
I've started using a 15% Azelaic Acid serum from Theramid, made by Niche Labs. Also the Reviv Labs Ultimate Serum. Both of these companies have some truly great products. Oh!! Minimalist products are also very good and much less expensive and found on Amazon!!! Love all your content, your knowledge and personality!!! Many blessings for a wonderful holiday season!!!💖💖💖
I had HORRIBLE hormonal acne in my 30s and early 40s. Doxycycline(6 months) is what finally rid me of it. I'm 53 now, postmenopausal, and my acne is MOSTLY a thing of the past. I still get the occasional cystic bump, but very infrequently now. Ugh.
Abbey!! Your channel has changed my life by helping me give my hair a health 180 flip. ❤ THANK YOU. also- I'd love to see more videos where you talk about scalp health and the more detailed aspects of hair health based on your trich knowledge. 🙏
For your nail journey: Have you heard of Japanese manicures? There’s a manicure set called P.Shine that could be exactly what you need. It makes your natural nails glossy and nourishes nails so they get super healthy and strong. Btw thank you for your excellent content, you really made a difference in my hair health!
I am SO SO happy you have been loving the Tazarotene!!! I didn't have any purging when I started that. Just continual skin improvement on every level. I know how it feels to have acne throughout my life at any age. Now just sit back and relax as Tazorac takes you to a new level....bcuz it will!
I (M, 31) switched from Tret to Tazarotene about 6 months ago and BEST DECISION EVER! My skin has been flourishing! Happy to see someone else confirm these results as not many on YT talk about the drug. Also added 15% Azelaic acid.
In my teens (like 20 years ago) I could use benzoyl peroxide but not anymore. I use the Naturium Sulphur spot treatment. I also I use the Murad sulphur clay mask when I get my monthly breakouts.
I also started getting random breakouts in my early 30s & I got Zineryt prescribed. I still have that on request from my doctor but now I only get breakouts when I eat too much cheese or due to hormone changes (I am now in perimenopause). HRT helped me. I was getting huge red bumps around my mouth and chin, very sore under the skin with no head. Zineryt stopped them getting huge but doesn't treat the cause. Dairy is definitely a trigger for me.
Great video Abbey, thank you! I need you to tell Apostrophe we want them in North Carolina! I’ve been keeping a check on it for literally two years now, but they still aren’t available here yet. So disappointing, I would switch to them in a heartbeat if I could!
De la Cruz has been huge to stop my monthly hormonal chin eruption. I have ultra sensitive skin and I can’t stand any topicals but this doesn’t bother me at all. I throw it on my chin every morning first thing. The smell isn’t that strong to me and nothing after you wash it off. Strongly recommend!
I bought the Eadem lip after you talked about it in your video where you tried 55 different lippies. OMG it is LITERALLY incredible!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I just recently got the Eadem lip balm in Butter Mochi after they restocked, and it doesn’t smell like anything to me. I noticed on their website that they market it as clear and unscented, so I don’t know if they changed it or if my nose is just not picking it up. I’m envious of the delicious butter mochi scent you describe. 😂
Yes, I was confused when I visited their site. I saw it was described as unscented yet I see reviews of people loving the smell. I was wondering if Abbey had a better sense of smell than others lol. If they removed the fragrance I'll definitely buy it. I wanted to try it so bad but hesitated due to fragrance.
@@AbbeyYung please let us know if it changed and became unscented. I’m not into sweet smells like most people so it’s hard for me to find good ones that aren’t vanilla or cake.
Hi Abbey!! I’ve been getting into Japanese skincare and haircare lately, I’d love to see you try these products that I’ve been loving this year! 💛 • LION pair acne cream (really gentle spot treatment, calms down angry breakouts) • &honey shampoo (makes my hair so smooth) • shiseido rosarium shampoo (feels like it gives my scalp a good clean)
I’ve never commented but have to because I also sought out the best lip balm in 2022 and while I love the Clinique balm so much and always have one on me, nothing comes close in terms of occlusion and wear than the Sara Happ Dream Slip. It comes in a little jar so application isn’t as convenient but as a night lip balm it’s unmatched you simply must try it!
Abby, any chance you could do some research on high end skincare products ie Skinceuticals, Skinmedica etc. Also products that will actually help those of us who have dark spots from sun damage. I would love that so much and I’m sure there are others that would appreciate your advice and thoughts. You’re simply the best! Merry Christmas to you and Elsie. 🌲🎅🏻❤️
I love the Beauty of Joseon eye cream too but it actually only has .02% retinaldehyde. I switched to the Avene which has .05% and am finally seeing results.
Try the LP Cicaplast Restore Lip Balm. I have the worst dry lips all year but the winter is brutal. This has transformed my lips in just a few days. I’ve tried every product and never had relief. This and petroleum jelly is my go to for lips now.
Will you review the new prequal products? They just dropped at target and I know you love the cetaphil SA Cleanser so the SA glenser might be your new favorite!
I’m 52 and I didn’t really breakout when I was young, I was actually 23 when I started getting breakouts and boy did they get crazy . I had to see a dermatologist because of it. Even now I breakout , and the majority of them are hard deep zits. I will get like 2 a month. I started using niacinamide and it definitely helped. Plus I use a clay mask once a week now. I do get blackheads now , ugh I have to exfoliate a lot, Paula’s choice toner works awesome for me.
I’ve been wanting to try the eadem lip balm since your lip balm showdown but it’s been sold out since then at both Sephora and their website. Thanks for linking to a place that has it in stock! I have nail bed lifting from wearing press-on nails, will try Kerasal Multi-Purpose Nail Repair! And it’s on sale!
I use Dove Body Wash, also, after a recommendation from Bryan Barron of Paula's Choice on You Tube several months ago. It's great and huge. I use a different scent, but I like it and will try the coconut when I run out.
Have you tried the ISNtree Onion Newpair Gel Cream? Your description of the LaRoche-Posay gel cream sounded very similar to this product, at least I consistency, so I thought it might be something you’d like. I an also wondering how the products compare.
I love your videos Abbie ❤️ I am 4 months postpartum and just turned 30 and my skin has started breakout after years of having no breakouts 😢 I wish Apostrophe was available in Australia.
I've been wondering where exactly to use the Laroche-posay cicaplast gel B5 in my skincare routine. I've heard it's an occlusive, so if you put other products on top of it will it penetrate through the cicaplast gel?
Love the Cicaplast gel for my whole face as well, but it does leave a shiny finish in my experience. I use it in the morning over the Ordinary caffeine + EGCG to depuff quickly. re: gel textures. Have you tried the Torriden Solid In Ceramide Essence?
love your videos and recommendations- thank you from the uk! :) i always avoid lip balms with ethylhexyl palmitate and coconut oil in, as they give me spots around my mouth too- so annoying! x
Hair care question for you Abbey. I have very fine, thinning hair. Using iRestore and following your treatment advice😅 has helped a lot. I know you’re not big on hydrating shampoos and conditioners, but I can’t go without washing my hair daily , unless I don’t leave the house 🤣. Out of seven days how many should I be using treatments like K 18, living proof, Eprey? And is it OK on alternate days to use something like She Eumura or Pureology hydrating shampoo? Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Hi Abbey!!! Love the EADEM, at your recommendation!! Have you tried the IMAGE Skincare, ORMEDIC pH Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex? I think you might really like it! I use the sheer pink but there's an original one also.
I was SHOCKED when I heard you speaking in Spanish!!! Then I noticed that somehow, UA-cam changed the language of the video, I just changed it back but it was crazy hahahaha thanks for another great video!
Hi! What do you ask when you get your hair done now? I have a very similar natural color to you and would love to know (sorry if you have another video on this)
I see u really put interest in suncare, so here is my question. How to use a beauty blender that is damp to apply makeup and not take off sunscreen? And when buffing and buffing makeul, it shoukd not take off sunscreen right?
I switched to tazaroten this year due to tretinoin being harder to access now in Canada, and I could not be happier. I'm getting wayyy better results, my skin is less irritated, the formula is sooo elegant and nice to use (i'm using arazlo). I was really scared to make the switch but it has been such an improvement of my skincare routine.
Have you tried naturium’s photo-glow lip MASK yet?? I’m always on the same page as you with lip recommendations.. their lip mask is one of my new holy grails! Better than their lip balms
Clinique moisture surge lips? I recently tried the laneige lip mask and it destroyed my lips. What a rip off! I actually ended up using the Clinique moisture surge face lotion to get them feeling normal again. My lips were soaking it up like crazy. I might try this lip product because as of right now Vaseline is the only thing I trust.
I tried de la cruz sulfur mask after all the viral hype on social media and my face was swollen for 3 days even my eyes got swollen and I didn't put the mask under my eyes. It got so bad I had to take antihistamines everyday it took me an entire week to make my skin look normal. I still don't understand why it happened. And this was the only new product I introduced.
Hey Abbey! Do you think the Beauty of Joseon eye revive serum would be beneficial for someone prone to mild under-eye milia? I want to use something that helpa with skin cell turnover but like you, don't want to bring my tret up to my eyes. Loving these end of year videos!
Always struggled with acne my whole life but my acne reached new levels after having my 2nd baby. Tret never did enough.. Just started tazarotene! Hope it helps me too 😊
❤️Loving Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 6💥 I used Tret around my eyes for decades, but after menopause it was leaving the area dryer. Love that this is in 3 strengths, so I can always go up if I like❣️I follow this with a moisturizer or the LRP cica gel✨ I’m using the sulphur mask 1-2x a week too with no issues (❣️Dr Dray💥)😊 OMG why would OPI have such a “treatment “⁉️Kerasal is good stuff! They also have an ointment treatment I put on every night (you only need a little bit).
I’m desperate to find something for fine lines and dry skin😔 I’m using kopari night cream. SkinCeuticals Triple lipid daytime I need suggestions. I’m 64
Hey looking at your nails, are they slightly clubbed? It’s worth talking to a doc about, there could be underlying conditions! ❤ Best of luck & I will be getting all of these products lol
I strangely find the LRP cicaplast gel and Prequel skin utility gel more moisturizing and long lasting than Prequel skin utility balm. At this moment, I'm unsure if I prefer Prequel or LRP. The balm pills sometimes. I am almost out of it and curious to try LRP cicaplast balm next. Does anyone know if LRP balm pills? Is it sticky or oily?
I have watched maybe 20 videos of yours over the last three days and made notes and purchases but I have a question. You mentioned in one video, and I can’t recall which, that you also have a spot at the back of your head that gets itchy and weird and one treatment you use just for that spot but I can’t remember what it was and didn’t write it down! I have that same area at the base of my skull/spine and want to try your recommendation. Please save me from hours of research!
Hi abbey i really like your videos and shorts on tik tok too 😍 i never see you talking about lore’al professional absolut repair set , why ? I think to order it but I’m waiting for your rivew please 😘😘 many thanks
Can u explain to me why u put the cicoplast before your moisturizer. I always thought to use your serums and retinol then a moisturizer and then something like the cicoplast or I’ve been using the Cerave healing ointment. I just have used it like that to lock it all in and to help with any kind of irritation from my tret. I’m thinking about changing that though bcuz of what u said in this video about how u put it on b4 your moisturizer. Can u explain to me why u do that? Thank u so much for all of your transparency about your skin journey and letting us know what u use and why.
Abbey! I have a question regarding waxing & retinol😬 I normally would wax my mustache however once I waxed it while using retinal and got bad scars 🙂 took me a while to figure out it was because of retinal usage. Would you recommend me to not put retinal on that area at all or it’s better if I stop using retinal for 1 week (or maybe more?) before waxing? Also I’m kinda transferring to tretinol so scars could be even worse I fear 😅 or how should I deal with it?
I use Apostrophe and I take an oral medicine and my hormonal acne is finally gone!!! Tretinoin and Azelaic acid are wonderful but they didn’t help hormonal acne at all, for me.
You make me laugh with the nail portion. I got acrylics for years and since getting pregnant I have not gotten my nails done! They repaired quicker than I ever thought. Now time to get my scalp straight😢
le chou chou is one of the only things I retained from high school french 😂 it’s pronounced shoo-shoo and translates literally to cabbage cabbage? but from what I understood it means kiss kiss
Yup. Acne continues☹️ I really thought acne was behind me at 58. Recently I had some gigantic underground blemishes on nose and chin.

Try taking plain niacin twice a day. You'll have the niacin flush, but it passes quickly. Within two months I had perfect skin, seriously. I started niacin 12 years ago twice a day. It's marvelous.

It might be food allergies. I struggled with acne at 35, but it cleared up almost instantly once I discovered my histamine intolerance.
@@AbbeyYunggreat videos and you look very beautiful and pretty.

Omg this makes me so happy 🥰 yay!!
This is the sweetest!
Finally someone is talking about the cicaplast gel! It’s my FAVOURITE! And I don’t even normally like gel textures because my skin is so dry.
GIRLLL... I bit my nails down to the cuticle for 20 years straight.

👀 there’s nothing I won’t try for my nails here I go
Thanks for the tip😭 I will do this cause ugh I consistently wear press ons so I don't bite them but I always end up biting them between sets😭
@@zuko9885 pinterest has a breakdown on how to do it! Good luck!

Do you still use retinol or did you have to stop ? :(
@thinkinggrace8092 I had to stop. My meibomian glands are compromised but still produce some oil. I didn't want to lose what function I have left.
Omg you’re kidding. That is absolutely awful I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that 😢😢

Hey Abbey could you do an updated 2024 makeup routine?❤
Sulphur is great for rosacea
Omg Avene makes a RETINAL for the eyes! With Peptides- you'd love it!
In my teens (like 20 years ago) I could use benzoyl peroxide but not anymore. I use the Naturium Sulphur spot treatment. I also I use the Murad sulphur clay mask when I get my monthly breakouts.
Ohhh I didn’t know naturium had one! I’ll check it out!
Try the Prequel balm as a primer!!! Especially for dry skin…love! And you are on point with the Eadem. I have all shades…it’s a problem ❤
I also started getting random breakouts in my early 30s & I got Zineryt prescribed.

@@AbbeyYung please let us know if it changed and became unscented. I’m not into sweet smells like most people so it’s hard for me to find good ones that aren’t vanilla or cake.
Sorry to be off the topic, but what blush are you wearing today??
Hi Abbey!! I’ve been getting into Japanese skincare and haircare lately, I’d love to see you try these products that I’ve been loving this year! 💛
• LION pair acne cream (really gentle spot treatment, calms down angry breakouts)
• &honey shampoo (makes my hair so smooth)
• shiseido rosarium shampoo (feels like it gives my scalp a good clean)
Love love your reviews!! 💛
I’ve never commented but have to because I also sought out the best lip balm in 2022 and while I love the Clinique balm so much and always have one on me, nothing comes close in terms of occlusion and wear than the Sara Happ Dream Slip. It comes in a little jar so application isn’t as convenient but as a night lip balm it’s unmatched you simply must try it!
The Salon life channel has great nailcare advice
Abby, any chance you could do some research on high end skincare products ie Skinceuticals, Skinmedica etc. Also products that will actually help those of us who have dark spots from sun damage. I would love that so much and I’m sure there are others that would appreciate your advice and thoughts. You’re simply the best! Merry Christmas to you and Elsie. 🌲🎅🏻❤️
Try the Jan marini system she is known for this!!!
I love the Beauty of Joseon eye cream too but it actually only has .02% retinaldehyde. I switched to the Avene which has .05% and am finally seeing results.
they claim 2% retinal liposomes, and i have never tried to figure out the conversion to retinal. it's definitely low since it's so gentle
@amandak.4246 Yeah the conversion is .02. Still a great product. Imo the Avene is gentle too. I have sensitive skin with eczema.
Have you tried OPI Nail Envy? It is sooo good 😍
Hi Abbey. Thanks for showing us all of these great skincare products.Merry Christmas❤
Thanks Abbey.❤️
Try the LP Cicaplast Restore Lip Balm. I have the worst dry lips all year but the winter is brutal. This has transformed my lips in just a few days. I’ve tried every product and never had relief. This and petroleum jelly is my go to for lips now.
I am already on the 2nd tube of Beauty of Joseon! Love it!
Will you review the new prequal products? They just dropped at target and I know you love the cetaphil SA Cleanser so the SA glenser might be your new favorite!
I’m 52 and I didn’t really breakout when I was young, I was actually 23 when I started getting breakouts and boy did they get crazy . I had to see a dermatologist because of it. Even now I breakout , and the majority of them are hard deep zits. I will get like 2 a month. I started using niacinamide and it definitely helped. Plus I use a clay mask once a week now. I do get blackheads now , ugh I have to exfoliate a lot, Paula’s choice toner works awesome for me.
I’ve been wanting to try the eadem lip balm since your lip balm showdown but it’s been sold out since then at both Sephora and their website. Thanks for linking to a place that has it in stock!
I have nail bed lifting from wearing press-on nails, will try Kerasal Multi-Purpose Nail Repair! And it’s on sale!
I hope you love both!! ❤
I use Dove Body Wash, also, after a recommendation from Bryan Barron of Paula's Choice on You Tube several months ago. It's great and huge. I use a different scent, but I like it and will try the coconut when I run out.
Hi Abbey, I love your haircare videos! Could you recommend some products to add more volume to thin and straight hair? Thanks!
Have you tried the ISNtree Onion Newpair Gel Cream? Your description of the LaRoche-Posay gel cream sounded very similar to this product, at least I consistency, so I thought it might be something you’d like. I an also wondering how the products compare.
I love your videos Abbie ❤️ I am 4 months postpartum and just turned 30 and my skin has started breakout after years of having no breakouts 😢 I wish Apostrophe was available in Australia.
Happy holidays to you and your family, Abbey!! 🎉❤
Hey Abbey! Have you seen/tried the dove body wash serums? Been curious if they would be worth trying out!
I've been wondering where exactly to use the Laroche-posay cicaplast gel B5 in my skincare routine. I've heard it's an occlusive, so if you put other products on top of it will it penetrate through the cicaplast gel?
Love the Cicaplast gel for my whole face as well, but it does leave a shiny finish in my experience. I use it in the morning over the Ordinary caffeine + EGCG to depuff quickly.
re: gel textures. Have you tried the Torriden Solid In Ceramide Essence?
I tried finding the sulfur in a tube earlier but can’t see it sold at the usual retailers anymore, not even on Amazon
love your videos and recommendations- thank you from the uk! :) i always avoid lip balms with ethylhexyl palmitate and coconut oil in, as they give me spots around my mouth too- so annoying! x
Hair care question for you Abbey. I have very fine, thinning hair. Using iRestore and following your treatment advice😅 has helped a lot. I know you’re not big on hydrating shampoos and conditioners, but I can’t go without washing my hair daily , unless I don’t leave the house 🤣. Out of seven days how many should I be using treatments like K 18, living proof, Eprey? And is it OK on alternate days to use something like She Eumura or Pureology hydrating shampoo? Thanks and Happy Holidays!
i would love to know the answer to this too!
I need to try the Nail treatment. My big toe nail is breaking and flaking at the end. Also, I'm going to order the dove body wash.
Hi Abbey!!! Love the EADEM, at your recommendation!! Have you tried the IMAGE Skincare, ORMEDIC pH Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex? I think you might really like it! I use the sheer pink but there's an original one also.
I was SHOCKED when I heard you speaking in Spanish!!! Then I noticed that somehow, UA-cam changed the language of the video, I just changed it back but it was crazy hahahaha thanks for another great video!
Thanks for sharing your picks with us. 👍🏼
Could you do a video on common esthetician/spa products such as “face reality” & “lira clinical”? I never know if I can trust them
Hi! What do you ask when you get your hair done now? I have a very similar natural color to you and would love to know (sorry if you have another video on this)
Have you tried the Naturium lip mask? I’m loving putting that over Vaseline on my lips at night!
Really love the explanations with every products loved ❤❤❤
I see u really put interest in suncare, so here is my question. How to use a beauty blender that is damp to apply makeup and not take off sunscreen? And when buffing and buffing makeul, it shoukd not take off sunscreen right?
I switched to tazaroten this year due to tretinoin being harder to access now in Canada, and I could not be happier. I'm getting wayyy better results, my skin is less irritated, the formula is sooo elegant and nice to use (i'm using arazlo). I was really scared to make the switch but it has been such an improvement of my skincare routine.
Wow!! That’s incredible ❤
Do you still use DRMTLGY needle-less serum? Haven’t heard you speak about it in a long time.
Have you tried naturium’s photo-glow lip MASK yet?? I’m always on the same page as you with lip recommendations.. their lip mask is one of my new holy grails! Better than their lip balms
Prosacea is my holy grail 10% sulfur treatment. Much better formulation and way less odor❣️
Ohhh?! Running to buy
Are you layering the taz and Azelaic acid every night or taz in the night and Az in the morning? Do you use taz every single night or skip?
Together at night! Every night 😊
@ thank you! Do you ever use exfoliants like AHA?
Clinique moisture surge lips? I recently tried the laneige lip mask and it destroyed my lips. What a rip off! I actually ended up using the Clinique moisture surge face lotion to get them feeling normal again. My lips were soaking it up like crazy. I might try this lip product because as of right now Vaseline is the only thing I trust.
I tried de la cruz sulfur mask after all the viral hype on social media and my face was swollen for 3 days even my eyes got swollen and I didn't put the mask under my eyes. It got so bad I had to take antihistamines everyday it took me an entire week to make my skin look normal. I still don't understand why it happened. And this was the only new product I introduced.
Hey Abbey! Do you think the Beauty of Joseon eye revive serum would be beneficial for someone prone to mild under-eye milia? I want to use something that helpa with skin cell turnover but like you, don't want to bring my tret up to my eyes. Loving these end of year videos!
Always struggled with acne my whole life but my acne reached new levels after having my 2nd baby. Tret never did enough.. Just started tazarotene! Hope it helps me too 😊
❤️Loving Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 6💥 I used Tret around my eyes for decades, but after menopause it was leaving the area dryer. Love that this is in 3 strengths, so I can always go up if I like❣️I follow this with a moisturizer or the LRP cica gel✨ I’m using the sulphur mask 1-2x a week too with no issues (❣️Dr Dray💥)😊 OMG why would OPI have such a “treatment “⁉️Kerasal is good stuff! They also have an ointment treatment I put on every night (you only need a little bit).
Need to try all of this 😍
I’m desperate to find something for fine lines and dry skin😔
I’m using kopari night cream.
SkinCeuticals Triple lipid daytime
I need suggestions.
I’m 64
Hey looking at your nails, are they slightly clubbed? It’s worth talking to a doc about, there could be underlying conditions! ❤ Best of luck & I will be getting all of these products lol
You listed two Apostrophe creams, each with 4% Nia. Is one for am and the other for pm? Or are you using them both at the same time?
I have been using Prosacea which has sulfur too that you can leave on...learned not to get it near your eyes!
I strangely find the LRP cicaplast gel and Prequel skin utility gel more moisturizing and long lasting than Prequel skin utility balm. At this moment, I'm unsure if I prefer Prequel or LRP. The balm pills sometimes. I am almost out of it and curious to try LRP cicaplast balm next. Does anyone know if LRP balm pills? Is it sticky or oily?
I'm watching the video and I'm like, O yeah I have that.. by the end of it I counted 9 things off your list below.. lol!! Thx for your suggestions!!
Have you tried the Method Simply Nourish body wash? Its one of my faves and inexpensive!
I have watched maybe 20 videos of yours over the last three days and made notes and purchases but I have a question. You mentioned in one video, and I can’t recall which, that you also have a spot at the back of your head that gets itchy and weird and one treatment you use just for that spot but I can’t remember what it was and didn’t write it down! I have that same area at the base of my skull/spine and want to try your recommendation. Please save me from hours of research!
Hi abbey i really like your videos and shorts on tik tok too 😍 i never see you talking about lore’al professional absolut repair set , why ? I think to order it but I’m waiting for your rivew please 😘😘 many thanks
Abbey you are doing the lords work keep it up please ❤
🥰💗
Axis Y dark spot serum is AMAZING for the dark spots after acne. 100000000%
It will fade them in a matter of days
Wow!! Will check it out
Aw man, I had to give up on tazarotene because it caused my skin to itch SO badly. I'll need to stick with tret, but I hope that's fine!
What’s your favorite lip balm to prep for makeup if you’re going to wear lipstick?
Clinique literally saved my lips ❤
Can u explain to me why u put the cicoplast before your moisturizer. I always thought to use your serums and retinol then a moisturizer and then something like the cicoplast or I’ve been using the Cerave healing ointment. I just have used it like that to lock it all in and to help with any kind of irritation from my tret. I’m thinking about changing that though bcuz of what u said in this video about how u put it on b4 your moisturizer. Can u explain to me why u do that? Thank u so much for all of your transparency about your skin journey and letting us know what u use and why.
Abbey! I have a question regarding waxing & retinol😬 I normally would wax my mustache however once I waxed it while using retinal and got bad scars 🙂 took me a while to figure out it was because of retinal usage. Would you recommend me to not put retinal on that area at all or it’s better if I stop using retinal for 1 week (or maybe more?) before waxing? Also I’m kinda transferring to tretinol so scars could be even worse I fear 😅 or how should I deal with it?
I'm so excited for this!!
Thanks for watching 🥰
Hey Abbey, how often do you use the sulfur mask? Is that a weekly thing?
I use Apostrophe and I take an oral medicine and my hormonal acne is finally gone!!! Tretinoin and Azelaic acid are wonderful but they didn’t help hormonal acne at all, for me.
Omg that’s such a huge relief. I’ll definitely go that route if this doesn’t solve it long term!
You make me laugh with the nail portion. I got acrylics for years and since getting pregnant I have not gotten my nails done! They repaired quicker than I ever thought. Now time to get my scalp straight😢
le chou chou is one of the only things I retained from high school french 😂 it’s pronounced shoo-shoo and translates literally to cabbage cabbage? but from what I understood it means kiss kiss
I take a spirnolactone pill and when it sits in my mouth too long the taste is FOULLLLLLL…..so I can only imagine the topical is crazy
Fellow acne sufferers... Don't overlook hair products and changing pillowcase s...couch covers Like Daily sometimes..
Godspeed
