I’ve noticed that whenever I think “I don’t have time” for something, I need to reframe it as “It’s not a priority” for me and sometimes that changes my mind about it 🙂
The physical exfoliant that I use is rice powder from a grocery store… the finer the better. I mix with a liquid cleanser and is sooooo nice. (Got idea from Tacha and I use their packaging to hold my grocery store purchased pure rice powder.)
Interesting; I'm not sensitive to rice AFAIK, but Tatcha's scrub gave me a rash, so I might try this too, thanks. I can use some of their products, but not all.
The number one thing that saved my skin was to STOP the obsession with trying products and searching for the next product that was finally going to be my HG. I found an acid step that really, really worked for me and I stuck with that and used it consistently and it’s still the star of my routine. I stuck with two creams, one lighter and one thicker to interchange as needed. I cut back from an insane nine step routine and now my only products are a gentle cleanser, the two creams, the acid peels, sunscreen, and one tried and true serum. I feel like more often than not, less is more.
I have a little bin I picked up at the dollar store. I wrote on it, “Skin Rescue.” I also added a list what the desperation skin concerns could be (peeling, burning, itching, etc). I then filled it with all of my rescue heros. Then on the other side I listed the order of use. It sits in the fridge so that I can grab it as needed. I don’t have to remember anything. It is just like a first aid kit for skin. My teens use it also.
Yes, a morning and night routine, even if it's 3 minutes, goes into our self-love bin. This is an act of love toward yourself, and I only learned this in my 60s, this has had an amazing effect that most people comment on, it's like caring for yourself creates an atmosphere that people respond to. I use different things than Hannah, but I love her view on skincare and makeup. I find her channel educational and so calming.
Hi Hannah. Pacifica is a beauty co. that has reusable silicone face masks. You can layer them over your own skincare products just like a throwaway mask. You can also put them into the fridge for a cooling effect , esp the under eye mask. And yes, they are easy to clean. Less waste, just as effective. It's possible that Lisa Eldridge had recommended these in a fairly recent vid on what she took on a holiday.
As a college student who’s skin is going through “second puberty” I’ve found that simplifying my skin care as much as possible was the best thing. I always thought I needed all these very moisturizing and high end products for my eczema and acne but now I’ve got my skincare down to the simplest it can be. Curology moisturizer, face wash, and formula which I only use every other day. I use the acne patches and eye cream as needed. Literally nothing else. I also use hormonal birth control lol.
I find your voice and style of speaking enchanting. You are so effortlessly unique and authentic, it's incredibly inspiring even though my personal style is much different. Thank you for all that you share and hope you're well 💜💚
This year has been about actually dedicating the time twice a day to do my skincare, I have very little time with a young disabled son and disabled husband but making that little time each day has done wonders for me. Tretinoin and Vitamin C are the stars in my line up and I’m happy to say that the Tretinoin hasn’t made me drier at all it’s actually balanced my skin out more!
I really think that reusable sheet masks are what should be used, instead of these one time use ones, because what you are saying is actually true, it just works as a physical barrier! Undyed cotton cloths (muslin) is amazing to make them at home even, just cut out the eye/nostril parts!
Reminder to everyone, your skin is an organ. In a good portion of cases, over the counter will help you out. But don’t forget that you can always go to a derm if it’s within your price range
If anyone finds the First Aid Beauty product causes a reaction, try Avene Tolerance (lightweight) or Avene Hydrance (more deeply hydrating/heavier). Both are safe for very reactive, sensitive, or sensitized skin.
My goodness Hannah this look is beautiful! I'm having a hard time focusing in the content because I can't get over how much you look like a bronze goddess! Would love to see how you got this look! 🧡
Omg CAN’T HANDLE THE MAJESTY OF THIS MAKEUP LEWK!!! Hannah, plz put me out of my misery and film a “how to” for this glorious face of smouldering glow 🔥✨
Hey Hannah - in this video your skin looks better than I’ve ever seen it. Like you’re glowing, poreless, and completely sans-texture. Skin goals. Whether it’s the particular products or just taking the time to use them, it worked. You look beautiful!
As a 46 year old, I didn't think Glossier would have anything that works for me. However, as a sensitive skin baby, I am always blown away by the effectiveness of their skin care line. Nice price for the quality.
I’m 52 and I really like Glossier. The colors and textures of their makeup is very flattering to mature skin, I feel. I haven’t really tried their skincare, but I’m curious about this mask Hannah used.
I'm nearly 54, and I love their eye cream and future dew so much. I'm very sad that apparently bubble wrap is discontinued. I will love lash slick and stretch concealer forever.
Ultra repair cream is a must-have staple in our household! My husband gets verrrrrrry dry patches on his face & it's the only thing that heals without clogging his skin and making it angrier, and it's my holy grail for body moisturizing & healing dry/chapped/sunburned face. That + aquaphor is the only thing that works for my allergy-induced dishydrotic eczema. Plus it feels like silky, homemade whipped cream. Just an all-around hero product.
Wow! It's amazing how fast your skin turned around. I'm an under buyer in terms of skincare, and I've been hearing so many good things about essences in particular. I might have to try one out in the near future!
As someone whose skin is flaking massively from tretinoin but also breaking out horribly from going off birth control for the first time in ten years, I watched this video while swinging wildly between “I want to do ALL of this,” and “I want to forget I have a face at all.” The Heartstopper bit had me laughing until my eyes teared up. BTW, every time I see your lamp in the background (which I LOVE) it makes me want to ask if you know about the fragrance brand Floraïku. The shape of the bottles is similar to the shape of your lamp turned upside down, and a couple of the bottles have flying birds on them like your lamp. And I feel like you would be very into their whole vibe. Their fragrances have names like My Love Has The Color Of The Night, One Umbrella For Two, Sleeping On The Roof, and Sound Of A Ricochet. Isn’t that just magical? (I’ll warn you in advance, though, they’re hella expensive. Sorry.)
That FAB moisturizer is my desert island product. I live in WI and in the summer when it’s 95 and humid I can put on a super thin layer and it doesn’t feel greasy, and in February when the wind chill is in the negative constantly I slather on 3-4 layers of it at night and it all just sinks in beautifully.
Skincare sure takes time - I sometimes feel like when I'm not all that well emotionally that I don't wish to sit and do a long skincare routine because I don't want to face the silence and myself. But at the same time it is healing in multiple ways to take a bit extra care.
Love the colloidal oatmeal: creams and aveeno oat baths for my hands, feet, body when needed ~~ they have been much needed recently ~~ stress can reek havoc on our skin, even the stress we deny, our body does not. I have been using anywhere from La Roche Posey $$$ to Aveeno $~~and had just recently had been googling for one for my face, unsuccessfully ~~ FIRST AID BEAUTY Ultra Repair Cream Intense is on my list now. Thank you Hannah.
Hannah you looked lovely in this video. i think your skin looked richer and healthy so you are on track. i think the shade was darker and very elegant. 🌺
The irony is that when I was scrubbing my face with exfoliators and drying it out as much as possible, all it did was irritate and make my skin oiler somehow. Masking and slugging has overall improved the oiliness and acne of my skin. It's amazing
I'm 51 and very sensitive, so scrubs are an absolute no, but toners and essences are a YES! I don't need 7 layers, but if I don't do 2 or 3 then I for sure get uncomfortably dehydrated.
Ultra Repair Cream is such a main girlie! Once in a while the skin on my body gets really irritated and it calms it instantly. I use it in all my tattoos, I use it when my face is sensitized and it’s an amazing hand cream! My hands get really sensitized because of my job and this helps! We keep it in the salon and all of us go for it!
Thank you for this! It rescued *my* skin! I had been dealing with long term flakiness despite using very emollient products and occlusives and cutting back all my actives. It turns out that remembering the "7 skin" method was a real gamechanger for me, too. I don't know why I stopped doing it, but within a couple days of re-starting ( after this video; using my usual products, and only 2-3 layers) there was a serious improvement in my skin. I could use tint and foundation again without it looking terrible on my chin. Also! Thank you for giving me the push to grab the FAB cream. It had been rec'd to me before, and I'd loved the sample I tried but I just never bit the bullet and bought the cream. I managed to get it for a really great price, and it's been seriously amazing. I had lizard nose-lip area from getting covid and this cream helped my tight, sore skin in days.
Hi HLP! Do you have any tutorials that would show this bronzed look? I love it. Would like to see how you got that glow and subtle richness. Thank you for what you do. I’m a new fan, deeply inspired by your channel.
Thank you for this video! I really appreciated that you emphasize working on improving what what we do, with what we already have, rather than always buying new. Thank you!
this isn't a prescription, just biochemistry info: women go through 3 major hormonal changes in life. the middle one starts around mid to late 30s, and primarily, that's what causes adult acne in women. one of the reasons this isn't well known is cz hormonal birth control compensates for this, as it keeps your reproductive hormone levels consistent. if you're not on birth control (I'm not and due to depression, I will never be), there's spironolactone, a testosterone antagonist, that helps prevent adult acne in women. men cannot take it cz it counteracts their testosterone. since it's a prescription I don't feel bad recommending it cz you need to see a Dr anyway. if you don't have skin textures and discolouration and only suffer from acne try spironolactone. retinozation is a harsh process and that's why it's grueling on the skin. you're essentially telling your skin cells to die when it's not their time and telling the not yet skin cells to become skin cells asap. 💓, an immunobiochemist
love this vid. I am in the midst of repairing my skin but you hit the nail on the head with consistency. Also, I didn't want to buy any more products until I used some up but I'm actually missing some categories that are hindering the recovery so this video was super helpful.
This video came at the PERFECT time for me in Sydney Australia because we have gone from a very humid summer into a “cold” snap and my skin feels so dry and tight and won’t absorb my moisturising products. I have ordered the Klairs gentle black sugar scrub because it’s available within Australia and won’t take as long to ship. In the meantime your tips seem to be helping - like applying several thin layers of essence underneath a sheet mask. Such a great idea
I thought you moved to Melbourne, Aus 😁 when you talked about the weather. Btw, highly recommend LRP cica blast baume, or Purito panthenol cream if you’d like soothing cream that won’t irritate your skin.
Girl I needed this video. I had surgery a month ago and haven’t been able to properly care for my skin. It’s a HOT MESS. My skincare routine (before surgery) clearly isn’t helping, if anything it’s making it worse. 😭
I have been into shaving my face with tick aloe gel on the skin. Without the peach fuzz, my skin is so soft, smooth, and it holds the makeup longer. I do use scrub too but I feel gentle shaving works for me better. Just once for a week, make sure to use a sharp razor.
Leahlani Honey Love is another amazing scrub/mask. For my dry, sensitive skin, massaging very gently is key to not over exfoliating, as this is a serious exfoliator, but it’s so good. The lasting hydration it leaves is divine. So glad you were able to fix the issues you were having! I’m sure stress was a factor as well.
@@gianninal5455 I carry a small container of her Bless Balm everywhere I go. Lip balm, eye cream, makeup fixer, it does it all. Its my “fixer” for whenever my skin is thirsty. It’s just amazingly hydrating, but yet not greasy like so many balms. Idk how she does it. Lol I’m glad I’m not her only fan;)
@@Mrstriplejranch the bless balm is my least fave of her products (both for scent and bc it's just not something I need) but my baby sis has dry skin and she loves Bless, Morning Ambrosia, and Mahina equally. Her stuff truly is gorgeous, though not all for me since I'm normal but acne prone and need a good rotation of actives and light weight (gel based) moisturizers.
I needed this video! I just moved to a different state and climate myself last month and have been dealing with similar issues you mentioned in the video. Inspired me to think about using what skincare of mine that I do have access to right now in different ways. Always love how balanced your videos are between new stuff and making use of what you already have
I’m on a no/low buy year on makeup, but not skincare. I’ve made peace with the fact that my skin needs will fluctuate with the seasons. Sometimes it does better with a three product routine. Other times, I need an intensive 10 step routine to get my skin where I need it to be
I have been paying more attention and giving time to my skin, and I definitely see a difference. People often comment I have pretty skin, which is nice. I have had some laser work done, and a tiny bit of Botox to try to stop the acceleration of my hooded eyes worsening, and I decided that if I was going to invest in these ways, there was no point if I wasn’t going to do my part at home with skincare and sunscreen. It’s worth the time. I just turned 49 and I am happy how my skin looks, which isn’t always easy with aging, dry skin.
The FAB Cream is an old standby in my skin rescue kit. I'd include CeraVe Healing Ointment, LaRoche Posay Cicaplast Baume, and Zelens Power D. Depending on the underlying issue, something (or two) in that kit will do the trick. (And all but the Power D are pretty affordable. Zelens, otoh, is absolutely not. Still worth it, especially if you use tret or exfoliating acids that sometimes throw your barrier out of whack.)
@@bestagentofdarkness , yes! I thankfully don't use it all the time, but when I need it, it REALLY does the trick. After discovering, I definitely wondered where it had been all my life!
Today as soon as I got up, I washed my face, used serum, then threw on a biodegradable sheet mask straight from the fridge-- perfect wake up call, i'm thinking about doing it most days through the summer. I do like the FAB, too, and their cleanser is nice. Basic in the best way! This was a great video, and a great reminder to me. I have a rescue team too, and the Peter Thomas Roth green aloe-based mask is part of it, but failing that, any basic aloe gel helps me. I even put it on my (rare) zits, and it helps heal them faster, although I like it for that even better over a tap of Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish roll-on.
Hannah! You need to try Malezia, you would love the moisturizer!! I have super sensitive skin with eczema, and it has been life changing for me. I also use their benzoyl peroxide gel for maintenance. If you have really dry skin I think mixing their urea cream with a couple of drops of your favorite oil (mine is squalane by the ordinary) would be really good for you! Since I use it (a year now) I no longer feel like I need to focus a lot on exfoliation, because the urea exfoliates while hydrating. Its amazing! I love them, and there's a lot of science behind them! I hope you check them out and that they work for you. And is 100% recyclable. xx
I'm also in my late 30s and I was certain that you were at least 10 years younger than me lol. You're gorgeous! Definitely going to learn more about your skincare habits ❤
how interesting! I found that glossier moon mask was not moisturizing enough for me so I felt it was over priced for the value it brought me. I do prefer heavy moisturizers though, so maybe the gel-like consistency just wasn’t to my/my skin’s preference. I do feel like packing on moisturizing skincare when you have the time to apply and be barefaced for hours definitely helps when i’m having a dry skin wave though. thank you for sharing your experience and tips!
I’m not surprised the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream made this list! It’s my “skin fixer”. I will not be without this in case my skin acts up! Ty for sharing what helped you! Put a couple products on my wish list!
Hi Hanna, I do have a product recommendation for your dry skin :) Try out the "Fortify" oil from Stratia prior to your occlusive layer. The mixture of oils have a great omega 3 / 6 /9 profile that rehabilitates your moister barrier, (and it is not too expensive) Love your videos, comments, wit and attitude towards consumerism !
A good way to get the benefits of sheet masking without having to keep buying masks is a reusable mask. I got one for $1 on Shop Miss A. It's a stretchy, rubber like mask that I put on after I pack a bunch of essence and hydrating thin serums on my face. I mean I pack them in til my face is basically soaking wet lol but it has the same basic effect as sheet masks. I was trying to find a way to quit buying them without giving up how plump and hydrating they make my skin feel.
Perfect timing. I got lazy and my very dry skin looks terrible. Thank you for the tips and recommendations. I also like to use the Cerave Healing Ointment at night.
Well clearly, those concoctions worked! Your skin looks wonderful. I’m guilty of not making the time. Think I’ll go mask and whiten my teeth while I’m at it. 😉
I really like the soothing/hydrating FAB toner. It is super lovely for my eczema prone skin. Ive tried multiple toners before it but this one and cosrx cica toner are the only ones i want to rebuy. Colloidal oatmeal and no fragrance.
I deal with scaly face ALL the time because I'm down here in humid, hot ass texas where the air conditioners are on full force so my dehydrated, easily sensitized and acne prone skin doesn't know what to do. I liken it to like... a glazed donut that's been sitting in the paper box on the counter for two days, all dried out and flaking. I feel like it's time for me to try the black sugar scrub, because everything I have is otherwise great for hydrating and moisturizing so I know I don't need any more of that kind of stuff, and I FOR SURE dedicate the time to my skin. But truly it's SOS all hands on deck, and I may need that extra pair of hands in the form of the physical exfoliant. also, the SNOW SCENE omg I think I watched 90% of that show with this face:
Did you do a video on your experience with curology/tretinoin and I’ve missed it? I’ve just joined the “Hannah” fan club a few months ago, so I’m still working my way through SAVORING your videos. I adore you and hearing about your experiences and I’d love to hear about tret from your point of view! I’m 29 and I feel like I’m missing the anti-aging boat! How long did it take you to see results? How bad was the purging? Etc!
As someone with a chronic illness, it's hard to keep a consistent skincare routine.. this week, I went 3 days without washing my face because I didn't have the energy and just making it to the bathroom was a mission. When I do have the energy, my skincare routine is a priority because acne prone with combo skin so I get dry patches and spots.. it's one of my favourite things to do because it feels like I'm taking care of myself instead of wasting away 🙃
As a fellow sufferer, I've found that a clean wash cloth is my bff. Dry it'll lightly exfoliate and absorb oil, damp it'll do the same and wipe away debris (or eye crust or whatever). That and a generous lip balm by the bed are my 'minimum standards' when my pain is really bad.
I’ve noticed that whenever I think “I don’t have time” for something, I need to reframe it as “It’s not a priority” for me and sometimes that changes my mind about it 🙂
Oooh I like this!
The physical exfoliant that I use is rice powder from a grocery store… the finer the better. I mix with a liquid cleanser and is sooooo nice. (Got idea from Tacha and I use their packaging to hold my grocery store purchased pure rice powder.)
thats genius! im definitely trying that

Yes, getting off the merry go round and sticking with old favorites is a big deal if you're sensitive
10000% this!

Yes! What did you use for this look, please?
Aveeno Calm & Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer is my holy grail for difficult skin times
Same. The face wash too.
I just wanna say, I love this look (messy bun + shiny hoops + makeup) on you!!! Obsessed with your channel!

women go through 3 major hormonal changes in life. the middle one starts around mid to late 30s, and primarily, that's what causes adult acne in women. one of the reasons this isn't well known is cz hormonal birth control compensates for this, as it keeps your reproductive hormone levels consistent.
if you're not on birth control (I'm not and due to depression, I will never be), there's spironolactone, a testosterone antagonist, that helps prevent adult acne in women. men cannot take it cz it counteracts their testosterone.
since it's a prescription I don't feel bad recommending it cz you need to see a Dr anyway. if you don't have skin textures and discolouration and only suffer from acne try spironolactone. retinozation is a harsh process and that's why it's grueling on the skin. you're essentially telling your skin cells to die when it's not their time and telling the not yet skin cells to become skin cells asap.

Your eye makeup and eyebrows are on point. Damn. 🎉
love this vid. I am in the midst of repairing my skin but you hit the nail on the head with consistency. Also, I didn't want to buy any more products until I used some up but I'm actually missing some categories that are hindering the recovery so this video was super helpful.
This video came at the PERFECT time for me in Sydney Australia because we have gone from a very humid summer into a “cold” snap and my skin feels so dry and tight and won’t absorb my moisturising products. I have ordered the Klairs gentle black sugar scrub because it’s available within Australia and won’t take as long to ship. In the meantime your tips seem to be helping - like applying several thin layers of essence underneath a sheet mask. Such a great idea
I thought you moved to Melbourne, Aus 😁 when you talked about the weather. Btw, highly recommend LRP cica blast baume, or Purito panthenol cream if you’d like soothing cream that won’t irritate your skin.
Apparently the Roverctin products were developed to help burn victims skin. Their multi oil and cleanser is so nice too.
Updo! We need an updated messy bun mini tutorial.
Hannah, you look so lovely. Your skin is glowing and I love your hair up like this.
Girl I needed this video. I had surgery a month ago and haven’t been able to properly care for my skin. It’s a HOT MESS. My skincare routine (before surgery) clearly isn’t helping, if anything it’s making it worse. 😭
I have been into shaving my face with tick aloe gel on the skin. Without the peach fuzz, my skin is so soft, smooth, and it holds the makeup longer. I do use scrub too but I feel gentle shaving works for me better. Just once for a week, make sure to use a sharp razor.
Leahlani Honey Love is another amazing scrub/mask. For my dry, sensitive skin, massaging very gently is key to not over exfoliating, as this is a serious exfoliator, but it’s so good. The lasting hydration it leaves is divine. So glad you were able to fix the issues you were having! I’m sure stress was a factor as well.
Her mahina oil is just gorgeous
@@gianninal5455 I carry a small container of her Bless Balm everywhere I go. Lip balm, eye cream, makeup fixer, it does it all. Its my “fixer” for whenever my skin is thirsty. It’s just amazingly hydrating, but yet not greasy like so many balms. Idk how she does it. Lol I’m glad I’m not her only fan;)
@@Mrstriplejranch the bless balm is my least fave of her products (both for scent and bc it's just not something I need) but my baby sis has dry skin and she loves Bless, Morning Ambrosia, and Mahina equally. Her stuff truly is gorgeous, though not all for me since I'm normal but acne prone and need a good rotation of actives and light weight (gel based) moisturizers.
Your skin looks luminous!
I needed this video! I just moved to a different state and climate myself last month and have been dealing with similar issues you mentioned in the video. Inspired me to think about using what skincare of mine that I do have access to right now in different ways. Always love how balanced your videos are between new stuff and making use of what you already have
I’m on a no/low buy year on makeup, but not skincare. I’ve made peace with the fact that my skin needs will fluctuate with the seasons. Sometimes it does better with a three product routine. Other times, I need an intensive 10 step routine to get my skin where I need it to be
I have been paying more attention and giving time to my skin, and I definitely see a difference. People often comment I have pretty skin, which is nice. I have had some laser work done, and a tiny bit of Botox to try to stop the acceleration of my hooded eyes worsening, and I decided that if I was going to invest in these ways, there was no point if I wasn’t going to do my part at home with skincare and sunscreen. It’s worth the time. I just turned 49 and I am happy how my skin looks, which isn’t always easy with aging, dry skin.
The FAB Cream is an old standby in my skin rescue kit. I'd include CeraVe Healing Ointment, LaRoche Posay Cicaplast Baume, and Zelens Power D. Depending on the underlying issue, something (or two) in that kit will do the trick. (And all but the Power D are pretty affordable. Zelens, otoh, is absolutely not. Still worth it, especially if you use tret or exfoliating acids that sometimes throw your barrier out of whack.)
I really like that cicaplast baume too!
@@bestagentofdarkness , yes! I thankfully don't use it all the time, but when I need it, it REALLY does the trick. After discovering, I definitely wondered where it had been all my life!
Today as soon as I got up, I washed my face, used serum, then threw on a biodegradable sheet mask straight from the fridge-- perfect wake up call, i'm thinking about doing it most days through the summer. I do like the FAB, too, and their cleanser is nice. Basic in the best way! This was a great video, and a great reminder to me. I have a rescue team too, and the Peter Thomas Roth green aloe-based mask is part of it, but failing that, any basic aloe gel helps me. I even put it on my (rare) zits, and it helps heal them faster, although I like it for that even better over a tap of Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish roll-on.
Hannah! You need to try Malezia, you would love the moisturizer!! I have super sensitive skin with eczema, and it has been life changing for me. I also use their benzoyl peroxide gel for maintenance. If you have really dry skin I think mixing their urea cream with a couple of drops of your favorite oil (mine is squalane by the ordinary) would be really good for you! Since I use it (a year now) I no longer feel like I need to focus a lot on exfoliation, because the urea exfoliates while hydrating. Its amazing! I love them, and there's a lot of science behind them! I hope you check them out and that they work for you. And is 100% recyclable. xx
I'm also in my late 30s and I was certain that you were at least 10 years younger than me lol. You're gorgeous! Definitely going to learn more about your skincare habits ❤
I want to try the glossier mask. I very much love the ultra repair cream to.💕
This eye look is terrific!
how interesting! I found that glossier moon mask was not moisturizing enough for me so I felt it was over priced for the value it brought me. I do prefer heavy moisturizers though, so maybe the gel-like consistency just wasn’t to my/my skin’s preference. I do feel like packing on moisturizing skincare when you have the time to apply and be barefaced for hours definitely helps when i’m having a dry skin wave though. thank you for sharing your experience and tips!
I’m gonna try that. Put on a sheet mask after all the layers instead of after the shower. 🤔
You look amazing, Hannah!
I’m not surprised the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream made this list! It’s my “skin fixer”. I will not be without this in case my skin acts up! Ty for sharing what helped you! Put a couple products on my wish list!
oh, will you also do a makeup tutorial on this look?
Hi Hanna, I do have a product recommendation for your dry skin :) Try out the "Fortify" oil from Stratia prior to your occlusive layer. The mixture of oils have a great omega 3 / 6 /9 profile that rehabilitates your moister barrier, (and it is not too expensive) Love your videos, comments, wit and attitude towards consumerism !
I’m living for your nail color!
GIRL YOUR BROWS LOOK AMAZING!!!
this look is so gorgeous.. please share what base products and bronzer you are wearing! I need everything!
You seem more bronzed and it looks great!
Once again great reminder to use what I already have, thanks Hannah 🙏
I don’t have the same skin concerns as you at all but this view was still really fun to watch!
I love the nailpolish! what color is it?
It's static nails cabana boy!
I get dry patches on my face and the First aid beauty cream helped so much!
Hi, you look especially gorgeous in this video! Can you plz do a video on this look at at least list the products you used. Thank you
I am loving your hair like this. 😍
A good way to get the benefits of sheet masking without having to keep buying masks is a reusable mask. I got one for $1 on Shop Miss A. It's a stretchy, rubber like mask that I put on after I pack a bunch of essence and hydrating thin serums on my face. I mean I pack them in til my face is basically soaking wet lol but it has the same basic effect as sheet masks. I was trying to find a way to quit buying them without giving up how plump and hydrating they make my skin feel.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Will start watching Heartstopper asap
Love your hair like this.
I love using essence. I use 2-3 everyday lol. I use slimy ones at night because I don't want pilling obviously.
Perfect timing. I got lazy and my very dry skin looks terrible. Thank you for the tips and recommendations. I also like to use the Cerave Healing Ointment at night.
Well clearly, those concoctions worked! Your skin looks wonderful. I’m guilty of not making the time. Think I’ll go mask and whiten my teeth while I’m at it. 😉
I really like the soothing/hydrating FAB toner. It is super lovely for my eczema prone skin. Ive tried multiple toners before it but this one and cosrx cica toner are the only ones i want to rebuy. Colloidal oatmeal and no fragrance.
HANNAH! What is that nail polish??? That is my go to nail color and I need it!
It's static nails cabana boy!
Thanks for a very informative video, really enjoyed.
Hannah what lip product are you wearing here! It’s gorgeous 🥰🥰❤️
I deal with scaly face ALL the time because I'm down here in humid, hot ass texas where the air conditioners are on full force so my dehydrated, easily sensitized and acne prone skin doesn't know what to do. I liken it to like... a glazed donut that's been sitting in the paper box on the counter for two days, all dried out and flaking. I feel like it's time for me to try the black sugar scrub, because everything I have is otherwise great for hydrating and moisturizing so I know I don't need any more of that kind of stuff, and I FOR SURE dedicate the time to my skin. But truly it's SOS all hands on deck, and I may need that extra pair of hands in the form of the physical exfoliant.
also, the SNOW SCENE omg I think I watched 90% of that show with this face:
Hannah. 45 seconds in and I’m too distracted by your makeup today. Begging for a tutorial on this look.💜
Did you do a video on your experience with curology/tretinoin and I’ve missed it? I’ve just joined the “Hannah” fan club a few months ago, so I’m still working my way through SAVORING your videos. I adore you and hearing about your experiences and I’d love to hear about tret from your point of view! I’m 29 and I feel like I’m missing the anti-aging boat! How long did it take you to see results? How bad was the purging? Etc!
She did! I forget the title of the video but she made multiple videos about her experiences with Curology! :)
@@AmberOrtolano You're so kind, thank you so much for the assist! I'm going to go hunting. Can't wait!
That secret message 👌
As someone with a chronic illness, it's hard to keep a consistent skincare routine.. this week, I went 3 days without washing my face because I didn't have the energy and just making it to the bathroom was a mission. When I do have the energy, my skincare routine is a priority because acne prone with combo skin so I get dry patches and spots.. it's one of my favourite things to do because it feels like I'm taking care of myself instead of wasting away 🙃
As a fellow sufferer, I've found that a clean wash cloth is my bff. Dry it'll lightly exfoliate and absorb oil, damp it'll do the same and wipe away debris (or eye crust or whatever). That and a generous lip balm by the bed are my 'minimum standards' when my pain is really bad.
Oh my goodness. That Heartstopper moment. I have never related to something more. 😆🍂
My first first! Also so much empathy for your struggle. Excited to see your success!
Did you pause using the tret while you were going through this phase?
