Hi Steph tretinoin is a marathon and not a sprint 😂. I used it for a couple of years prior to true menopause (before my rosacea made me stop) and you have to start really slowly (even after acclimating well with retinaldehyde for months first). Slugging doesn't have to be vaseline - it can be any really rich occlusive product eg a sleeping mask. Simple skincare only until your skin is back to normal. Congrats on the empty/roll out. Best wishes x
@ tretinoin is the scenic route then when talking about journeys 🤣🤣🤣. I hope your skin feels better soon. The “sandwich” method as mentioned in another comment is a good way to acclimate x
I would start doing the sandwich method. (Moisturizer, Tretinoin, Moisturizer) Make sure your face is dry before applying the Tretinoin. I use the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer with Niacinamide at night for a few nights when my moisture barrier is compromised. I don’t like Vaseline or any other slick product like Cera Ve, but many people like it. When my barrier is broken down, I don’t use any actives. I stick to the complete basics. I only use moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning. At night, double cleansing with the La Roche Posay moisturizer.
One more primer down is good! And honestly if that is how you get an expired sunscreen out girl do it! Good luck with your liquid lipstick and using the cooltrals which is so pretty - I have contemplated that one but got the nudetrals first. I am determined to hit pan in both my blushes in my pan that face palette - at 75 uses each any day now its going to happen! I finished the bronzer and highlight already. Also would love to finish my eyeliner and lipliner if I can.
The way you explained the rows of the cooltrals palette made me want to purchase it. 😅I like cool tones but for some reason this cooltrals palette did not catch my eyes before.
Curology makes me peel ! Its probably one of the lowest doses of tretinoin. But it took me 1 yr to quit peeling and i only use 3 times a week!!😂😂Im 46 so yes slugging does wonders . 😂😂and biosance oil is great for my dryskin it soaks it up!!
That makes me so nervous I'm going to peel for life... hahaha! I should buy the Biosance oil again because I absolutely love their oil! Great recommendation!
That eye look is gorgeous, I hope you do hit 1000, I’m shocked you don’t have that many already!
Thank you so much!!!!! ❤❤❤

This is amazing advice! Thank you so much! I definitely need to do the sandwich! haha 😅😅😅❤
Looked at your goals met in the description and think it’s really cool you hit 18/24! You did a great job this year
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
You look amazing ❤ love the hair and the makeup and the shirt !
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
I think that bite lipstick would have looked so pretty with the look you have on in this video. I love olive green and orange paired together 🥰
Okay shoot you are so right! I guess it just means I'll need to do another Green eyeshadow look...shoot! 😉

I'm glad that I could maybe make you see it in a different light! 🥰 but if your wallet gets mad at me, tell it I am sorry! 😅
slugging doesn't have to be vaseline. It just means adding an obscene amount of moisturizer on your face.
😂😂😂😂😂 I wish my coworker would have explained this better before I went and bought the largest tub of Vaseline I've ever seen haha!
