So Jada recently posted this routine she does every 2-3 months and it's to die for honestly. I think she gave so many good tips and I can see this being beneficial!

here it is ladies:

Please share some of your favorite skin care routine videos (daily, weekly, one offs, annual ones etc).

I'm not running to buy that microdermabrasion machine because I have a horrible habit of buying so many things but not using it consistently. So I'm going to use her alternative idea of using those exfoliating gloves to see if I can stick to it every 2-3 months and if I'm good then I'll reward myself with the professional machine. ❤️

For skincare, I trust Liah Yoo (LOVE her!!!), Hyram, and Labmuffin on youtube.

I think most celebs overdo it or used overpriced products that don't necessarily work. The worst skincare routine I ever saw was Gwenyth Paltrow lol... It made me wonder how she still had a skin barrier. 😬😂

@LuxePurr do you really think it's her skin care routine or genetics with that one??

I'd say both. She's Asian and the cliché about Asians taking longer to show signs of aging can be true for some cases but I've seen average asian women who look older for their age mainly cause not everyone here wears sunscreen.

I've been following her for about a decade and she used to have really bad skin from wearing so much make up. When she quit make up and focused on skincare, you could see her glow. I follow her on IG and she regularly goes for facials and peels, she even goes for glutathione IV drips.

As a coffee addict(!), or all-things-caffeinated really, the biggest game changer has been drinking more water, for sure.

For skin, hair, nails, and just feeling better overall.

It can’t be reiterated enough.

I have this one

https://www.ulta.com/personal-microderm-classic?productId=xlsImpprod6470065

Have only used it 2xs cause you gotta wait a week... and they say 7-8xs till you see results.

oohh i like how portable/small it is. I wonder if it measures up to the professional ones. Let me know how it goes after 6th time.

My dermatologist insurance covered microdermabrasion but with covid nothing this year. I just ordered it. Let’s see how it works

Great skin tips:

- Good diet (water, cod liver oil or omega 3 + zero junk food and fried food). Starts from within. Without a good diet, forget nice skin;

- Wash your face with water only. Water in Toronto is drying enough, you don’t need to add cleansers on top it to further dry out your skin and deprive it of its natural oils to maintain skin’s PH.

- Wear mineral foundation if you need to as it has zinc to dry out any pimples or excess sebum production.

- wash off makeup properly before you go to bed. This is a must! Use oil that suits your skin. The only oil that suits me is Seabuckthorn oil.

- Then apply moisturizer with the least amount of chemicals. Every moisturizer breaks me out. So I stick to using Caudalie’s water mist. In the morning, I spritz my face with Caudalie water mist. That’s enough for me.

- Every weekend I exfoliate with rice powder mask. Wipes of one week of dead skin without disturbing the skin’s PH

- I also dip my face in ice cold water at least three times a week

- One of my sister in laws is Moroccan and she gifted me this authentic high end brand Moroccan oil from Morocco, which is the only thing that lightens my dark circles if I’m consistent with the application. Amazing! I tried everything from La mer, kiehl to Clinique etc for eye creams that target darkness. Nothing worked, but this Moroccan oil.

- I use Laneige sleeping mask for lips. Best recommendation to me for soft lips. Love this!!

Minimal yet very effective regimen.
