I like Mizon Snail Blemish BB cream SPF 50+ PA+++. Only $14/1.7 oz. 40% snail and niacinamide. Natural slightly dewy finish, good coverage, not heavy or greasy. Zinc, titanium, and iron oxides. Fragrance free. Has never irritated my sensitive, acne-prone, oily skin. Such a good find for me I had to share.
Thank you! I’m soon going to switch over to using MD solar science tinted BB cream spf 50 once my hyperpigmentation evens out. It is a sunscreen that has so many beneficial actives and antioxidants. For now I use supergoop cc cream spf 50 because it provide at least medium coverage and layered it is full coverage so I don’t need additional foundation. Both are mineral filters only. It’s harder to find what works for oily acne prone skin especially in humid climate
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream! Lots of good skin care ingredients and mineral sunscreen. My skin always feels better after using it!
Can you do videos on: 1. Best drugstore facemasks 2.How to prep your face for LED light mask at home (can you do red light and blue light back to back treatments) and what to do after the treatment 3.will at home IPL cause damage to your skin (such as Kenzie) and do they actually work 4. How to grow lashes 5. Does dry brushing work 5. Is skin product cycling right for you 6. Collagen vs biotin 7. Is dry shampoo bad for your scalp
I use the following 3 products in my morning routine: *Naked Sunday SPF50+ Clear Glow Radiant Sun Serum *IT Cosmetics 50+ CC Cream/foundation *Naked Sunday SPF50+ Hydrating Glow Mist to refresh my sunscreen later in the day (the fact that it’s a spray is awesome! And it’s Australian 🇦🇺)
I love it as well but for some reason I can't get ahold of light anymore and I don't know why :/ maybe it's just a problem in Europe but I honestly can't find it and it's out of stock everywhere.
@@Nyxgazer it’s much harder to find than the other shades, I’ve found it at eBay a few times. I tried the medium/ tan it was awful even putting a lighter foundation couldn’t make it work for me
Omg thank you! Seriously needed this video. I was nervous to try tula due to their recent scandal, so i won't be as nervous about it. & I wanted to love the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint BUT it doesn't do well on my dry ass skin. 😢 I tried If you want a cheap, not universal tinted SPF that could pass for mostly golden tan people, so no one pale like me, Australian Gold has a super nice one!
I really enjoy your videos and always learn something new. The Ilia was a bit too dewy for me but I gave it to my daughter:). The Tula Skintint looks great and I may try that next. Thank you for sharing your routine--so helpful.
Elf has an spf 30 cc cream. It has pretty decent coverage and has niacinamide as well as collagen and peptides in the formula. I am not a fan of dewy finished (I have oily skin) but I found that this paired with the elf HD finishing powder held up pretty good to mattify it a bit. I mean not bad for like $15 lol Underneath my makeup I still use a regular sunscreen just for reassurance lolol.
For days I don’t want so much stuff on my face I’ll wear regular sunscreen and then the physicians formula spf 30 mineral powder. This stuff is great and leaves a beautiful finish. Only downside is I don’t like how it creases sometimes under my eyes. I have to use a specific brush with it so it doesn’t look weird there.
Hi Maren, I really liked your video and your explanations for liking these products. I also use ilia spf foundation and bought mine at Sephora. It is my most dewest foundation I use that has an spf in it. I am now tempted to try out this Tula brand that seems to be your top favorite. Thanks for talking about the benefits of these products.
This is so helpful. I am such a beginner in makeup and skin care. I appreciate your simple understandable explanation so much. Plus, you have amazing so I definitely need to know how to get mine to look great. My question, it is probably so dumb but when you say buildable what does that mean? Would I use for example the Tula tint and then add something over that like a setting powder or more makeup? Thank you in advance!
Random question, but could I simply add a bit of foundation to my spf to make a diy tinted spf? I can't find any tinted sunscreen for my skin tone, but I don't know if adding color to my sunscreen could change its properties if that makes sense. Thanks.
Your skin looks so lovely! Is bukuchiol a strong enough alternative to retinols for mature, thin, dry skin ? No matter the line ( from the finest to least expensive), I always have had issues with retinols/retinaldehydes. Dehydrates my skin and I look worse, even with super heavy moisturizers. I'm close to 60 now, no filler or Botox. Makeup is starting to settle into lines I never had until about 6-8 months ago. I live in a dry climate and it will only get worse with winter. Currently using Bioelements skincare to repair barrier but their heaviest moisturizer still leaves me feeling tight & parched 4-5 hours later. It's also a bit too $$$. Love your info and appreciate learning about Tula! High pigment, low texture is important for mature skin to look healthy, not masked!
I love the Estée Lauder futurist hydra rescue for more coverage, but for a more lightweight formula I use Lancôme skin feels good. It’s only spf 23 though, so you definitely need something else! I also recently picked up tarte shape tape cloud cream in an Ulta sale and it’s ok, but it has even lower spf
I love the Avene compact. I use my fingers to apply rather than the sponge And it goes on like a dream. I will check out the Tula product though. Thanks!
Hello can you do a hair and body oil revue, what to look for in the ingredients. Elemis and Quay are 2 of my favorites Also neck creams I don’t think you have a video on this, and how to get rid of lines on your neck
Thank you so much! I was wondering if you could speak about melasma and anti-aging treatments in darker types. It's so difficult to know what is suitable for that problem in darker skin. I've been feeling very depressed because my melasma is getting worse even though I avoid the sun and apply sunscreen daily several times during the day. And since I have mediterranean skin and on top of that it's very dry it's a nightmare to find a solution. I've been to dermatologist but the triluma made my melasma worse, it was extremely irritating to my skin. Idk if you will even read my comment but thank you again. God bless you ❣️
I am surprised you liked the Tower 28 one. It was one of the worst skincare products I have ever tried. I have mildly dry skin from tretinoin usage and this sunscreen sat on top of my skin basically scraping up all my dry skin as I applied it. It has zero moisturizing properties and just sits on top of your skin feeling so wet. I had to wash it off because of how bad it looked after an hour or so. I tried it the next day with a moisturizer underneath to help the skin surface a bit but it pilled up horribly. I dont know how to use this stuff but it was that bad that I will not purchase it. I am lucky I got a few sample colors to try first since it is expensive. I recommend going to Sephora or Kohl’s and asking for a sample before buying. They are always great about giving me samples.
Hi !!! I hope that you are doing well !!! I have a question can I combine AHA 10% BHA 2% and tyrosnaise inhibitors alpha arbutin 2%, 2% kojic acid, 10% azelaic acid, 4% tranexamic acid,2 hydroquinone licorice root 2% retinol 2% niacinamide, 10 % l- ascorbic acid one bottle for body pigmentation kindly guide me
Im not a derm or specialisr but that seems like way too many actives at once, espwcially if your just starting to introduce them into your routine. Hope that helps any
I bought the Ilia because I could get a shade match but don't like the finish. I mix a couple of drops with Australian Gold which I love because even the fair/light is a tad too dark for my fair skin. Am I negating the effect of the sunscreen by mixing products?
Hi, I'm 32 years old. I have some expression lines on my forehead and signs of sagging on my face. My skin is mixed. I would like to know your opinion about the use of Filorga time filler gel-cream. Does it have the same action as botox? Is it advised? Well, I'm not a botox fan and I've never used it. Thank you if you can answer.
I think we're all gonna look back at these "dewey finishes" and laugh. I keep seeing people with dewey complexions and to be honest it doesn't look natural it looks kinda gross. One ladies face was so dewey at the store she looked like she put Crisco on her face. I can spot a dewey finish or moisturizing sunscreen face in a crowd. The first time I wore Tula my husband was like wow your face is sooo shiny..lolol. For now I'm gonna use it all up and hope they make a normal finish soon.
Hello .. Thanks for making such a useful videos for us.. ❤️ I need to ask you a question.. If anyone who had never used any Retinol or Retinaldehyde serum can use the Maelove Moonlight Serum? Is it for beginner's or not?? Please reply it will be helpful. ..
There are two derms I know of who do virtual consults. They specialize in skin of color. Dr. Jennifer David (skinandscripts) and Bergen Dermatology (bergenderm).
@@db-gb5xi thank you! Do you recommend any Derms in the phoenix area that are comfortable with melasma? I’m a doc myself but I’ve struggled with finding someone comfortable with treating it in skin of color :(
As she stated at the beginning, this is what she personally uses. Go to her video library; many of her videos are on drugstore products she recommends as a dermatologist. She covers both budget products and items she feels are worth a little more money so you can purchase wisely.
You are so much more natural in your bathroom! Don’t know why but I enjoy your speech and mannerisms in this environment. Love your content!

I use 'it cosmetics CC cream' - it has all sorts of bonus ingredients in addition to 50 SPF
My favorite tinted sunscreen is Drmtlgy. I apply a layer over a non-tinted sunscreen to ensure I have the protection listed on the bottle.

would you be able to do more videos on makeup? Do you have foundation cushions you recommend?
Do you still need to put a moisturizer under these? Since they have so much skincare ingredients?

I totally agree. If you use the sponge it’s too thick and seems to sit on top of your skin. No bueno. Using my fingers is so much better.

Yes! I'd love some recommendations on this!

A lot of derms don't recommend playing at home chemist. There are products with multiple tyrosinase inhibitors on the market.
Should you only use a chemical sunscreen with the Tula one that has chemical sunscreen in it or can you mix chemical and physical sunscreens?
How about a video on facial hair removal?? Some coarse hair and lots of fuss....very blond
In the meantime, Dr. Sam Ellis and Dr Dray have some videos on this (dermaplaning, laser, etc).
Great info..could u also do one on SPF moisturizes.
Please review “It Cosmetics Foundation and CC Cream with 50 sunscreen.”
Do you put the tula foundation or whatever you on your under eye area too? Or separate concealer?
Obagi.... vitamin c serum..... what are your thoughts???
I have a question regarding thinning eyebrows. Can you use rogaine or similar products on you eye brows?
hello, I really have a dry, cracked skin on my lips, any lipstick Im using even lip balms “. Do you have any suggestions for sensitive lips please.

Do you recommend moisturizer before or after if you use chemical sunscreen
What color are you wearing?
Hi could you please suggest eye serum for dark circles
I love her❤
Tula must be a sponsor right?
Do you "set" sunscreen products with powder?
Definitely can. You set the same you would any foundation etc
Bakuchiol serum has been out of stock (Hopefully not too long) but as an alternative I use Paulas Choice: retinol + bakuchiol.

Tula is US$40 !?! Imagine what that is in $AU 😮
Try the elf cc cream! It’s cheap and is pretty much the same as the products she’s talking about. I love it!
I find the Ilia smells funny not in a good way and gives me polkadots on my nose not a good look! It's a big NO for me.
👍👍👍👍👍
This is not budget change your name
