When i discovered your channel there was a lot of videos trying to ruin your reputation and image but the truth is you helped me so much anna you inspired me to become a better person and in a very hard phase of my life and your advices are gooolddd thank you ❤
I never understood the antipathy toward Anna. She is helpful and kind. She doesn't dictate or mandate, she suggests and inspires. No time for the nay-sayers.
When I had microblading, I insisted that I check her work every few minutes to make sure it looked natural. Ladies, when you're paying top dollar for a service, don't be shy about micromanaging the service! It's your body!
I work in aesthetics and the lips are definitely the most over done. The whole lips, lashes, brow tattoo trend I feel like is phasing out. Thank goodness! We have so much filler sitting on the shelves. All expiring. Can’t get rid of it even with sales. Not to mention the large amount of people that are coming in to dissolve due to migration and such. Glad to see society is starting to wise up.
@@angellawalker4948 at this point, I give people what they want and gatekeep all of my/our beauty wisdom. We’ll look stunning and because they were offended for no reason before, no insider secrets for them lmao
I actually love my brow tattoo. It looks so natural. Before I got my brows tattood I watched the artist's work for 3 years before booking an appointment. My brows came out perfectly and I get so many compliments on the shape. She did very light ombre shading that looks better than the thin and sparse brows I have naturally. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Me too!! I chose the lady based on the results on a friend's face. VERY subtle and natural, filling back in the look I had previously. They have thinned with menopause. Now I don't need to use eyebrow pencils every day. Love it.
@@AnnaBeyOfficial I was at the drug store a while back, and the pharmacist had these horrible tattooed eyebrows. It looked like someone drawn them on her face with a very thick brown marker. Just two super-thick lines, no micro-blading, just solid colour. The shape was terrible for her face, and they were so thick, like caterpillars. They were so obvious, and so out of place, that it was hard not to stare at them - but, of course, I didn't want to be rude, so I made sure to not stare at them during our conversation. The poor woman already knows how bad they look, I'm sure - she doesn't need to feel worse by having people stare at them.
You are so right! The convenience of having lip liner or eyeliner or your eyebrows permanently done due to getting a tattoo is not worth the risk! Bad permanent makeup MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE TO REMOVE. A lot of people think that laser tattoo removal is foolproof and it should be able to completely remove any tattoo. That is not true. There is many tattoos that cannot be removed completely or at all with lazer. Not to mention the expense. It's just really not worth the time it would save you.
Hi Anna, I am currently 23 and I have been watching your videos since I was 17. I currently have a job now, and can afford to level up.. but my depression got so bad that I put on 40lbs in the last 4 years. I am now overweight and have adult acne.. but I will take your advice and try to fixbit because I am losing my youth to a body and state of mind that Can Be Avoided. I don't want to spend my 20s feeling bad about my body. I need to change, and you help a lot Ms. Anna.
Don't worry. Just take up walking and strength training with a good diet and you'll lose the weight. In your 20s it'll be easy. Dont wait till you get to 40 it'll be much harder trust me!
I did another comment under this video about how fluoride causes acne, it also causes depression because it damages the thyroid. Anna herself has problems with her thyroid so I think she has fluoride poisoning that gave her the bad acne she had in the past along with her thyroid problems. Get the book, “The Hidden Cause of Acne” and it explains it. That’s the book I found that changed my life. Don’t take that strong medicine she recommended because even though it does work for some people, it’s extremely strong and many times it doesn’t work. It’s not addressing the root cause of the problem. Good luck to you!!!!
I missed my Anna videos these last few weeks! I appreciate the growth and maturity shown in this channel as she has grown and her priorities in life have changed - she has always advocated for finding your own personal style while putting your best foot forward in engaging with the public. In this video there is the advice to exercise caution when it comes to making changes to your appearance, as we want to get it right instead of risking a bad look and wasting money for it
As I prepare to transition from night shift nurse to working from home to very shortly a nurse practitioner in an office setting your videos have been especially helpful to me to look and feel elegant and put together. I have been binging your videos and given thought as to what to get rid of and elevate myself to be polished and put together. ❤ I love that you support the decision of plastic surgery if it is right for that lady.
Great advice! Especially regarding eyebrow tattoos. I had a doctor with really bad eyebrow tattoos and this was so distracting when talking with her. I’ve had staff at hair salons try to talk me into “ permanent makeup “ I would never consider this because everyone has such different ideas about what looks good. I know women who were employed by cosmetics companies to do women’s makeup whose own makeup appeared very strange so I can’t imagine trusting someone to tattoo makeup on me . Anything permanent is definitely not something to rush into. You look very beautiful, BTW, and that rose color is so flattering on you!
Hello Ana, I love your videos. In terms of acne, I believe it’s important to be mindfulness with people who are acne prone skin type. Myself being one of them, I continue to struggle with acne and have spent thousands of dollars on medications and treatments. Unfortunately, acne prone skin are resistant to these treatments and has become part out our lives. People tend to immediately criticize you by saying, “you don’t invest on your skin” yet people don’t know the journey we have been through.

@@alejandramejia663 i also had Bad acne the only Thing that helped is" go natural." So no Cremes or Antibiotics. Instead use natural oils like jojoba oil or Rosehip seed oil mixed with a tiny little amount of tea tree oil. No facewashing in the morning!(skinbarrier) Or use beef tallow on the skin. Also inportanr eat your natural Antibiotika instead talking These bc they are Very Bad for the gut. And don't put anything on your face you wouldn't eat. I know there will man people who will disagree but in most skincare there are toxic Chemicals to make them last longer... IT helped me a lot. I also use Aleppo soap for cleansing. :) I hope you get better and i wish you the Best ☺️
I thought that all the girls looked the same nowadays. My partner thinks I pay too much attention to little things, but that is a vast little thing. Thank you for your video.
Love your honesty and care for women ❤. When my mum was a young lady, there were deportment and etiquette classes, books etc. I have one of this books and referred to it over the years. I feel this is missing today and I’m glad to see that you are helping women - who want to level up - do so! This approach can help women become the best version of themselves rather than straight copying influencers
Yes, I always pay attention to these details to up level my look. I dont judge but it's important to look your best to feel your best + boost confidence😊
All surgeries present a risk, and I would not recommend anyone taking on these risks to alter their appearance. Fillers are now known not to disappear as they were advertised. Fillers hang around in your face and can be seen when you have an MRI scan. As an older person, the best way to look weird is to have cosmetic 'enhancements' Stick with make up!
Agreed! make up, well done hair, polished nails, nice shoes and most importantly a fit toned body with well chosen clothes that matches your personal style as well as your color - and icing on the cake: a lovely handbag ;)
Like you, I waited until my late 20s to do Accutane. It was the most intense experience with the side effects but it seriously changed my life. I completely relate to what you’re saying - HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders and I can’t believe I waited so long. I have ice pick scarring but it’s fading with time.
I just love you Anna. I have really started investing in myself more after watching your videos. I am doing things now that I have never done before like: Weekly blowouts, not letting my roots get out of control, monthly facials. It doesn’t make us shallow or vain to care about our physical appearance. Great job I just love you and your messages ❤ ty
Please focus on your diet, sleep and rest routine as well as living an active lifestyle to promote healthy skin. Healthy skin comes from the inside - your health, physically and mentally. No amount of skincare or medication or facial treatment can help your skin if you don’t take care of your health properly. It takes time but it will be a permanent and sustainable transformation for your skin once you start living a healthy lifestyle consistently.
@@artemis2520 Yes but living a healthy lifestyle can still provide you a clearer step toward healthy skin. Plus if you live like sh*t but still have clear skin, I don’t think it is something to be proud of, in fact I think it is dangerous, all the toxins is built inside. Imagine this, would you rather have acne outside or inside the body where you cannot see and do anything about it because you don’t see it so you think there is nothing wrong and you don’t change and you never know one day what it will turn out, a collapse of health altogether. I battle with this post college, I personally have undergone Chinese Medicine practice that has healed my health and skin, but a healthy lifesyle is still a needed foundation for the medicine to work as well.
Thanks for this lovely comment. I know Ana had good luck with medication, but I wince a little whenever she recommends it because she never mentions alternatives.
I had my eyebrows tattoo'd and they are FABULOUS. The artist knew about pigment and how to prevent grey/blue/green shading. She did micro-shading, they're not perfectly symmetrical (because my face isn't perfectly symmetrical) but they are perfect for my face. It honestly doesn't look like I have a tattoo. Best beauty decision I made that year. 😀
I’ve never done anything to my face or any part of my body. I love being me. I don’t wish to look like anyone else. It’s freedom. I prefer to STAND OUT , than fit in . I’d never want to look like everyone else.
You are so right about the eyebrows. Nowadays pretty Girls ruin their faces with terrible eyebrows. Too dark and doesnt follow the natural lines of the face
Totally agree on brows . I had mine done in the beginning when it was so “on trend” and it was a huge mistake. They are fading some, but I have to use eyebrow pencil, gel & concealer just to make them look ok. Huge mistake! And she had done some of my friend and theirs looked really good btw 🤦🏼♀️
I used Accutanne and it finally did cure the horrific cystic acne I had. I used to miss events and spent my 20s hiding under concealer. Unfortunately I did not get the treatment till I was 40 and got ugly scars. I did get my face and confidence back eventually.
I am 21 and suffering from mild cystic acne at the moment... it's not as bad as it was 2 years ago but I'm tired of it; it just wont go away and when I think I'm clear, another painful one comes up. I don't really want to take Accutane... I've heard many bad things about it and I don't want any bodily complications later on as I want children. How did it affect your body?
@@artemis2520 Hi artemis, Accutane will shink your pores but also your eye glands, permanently. I would suggest taking a vitamin A supplement, and starting on benzoyl peroxide if you haven't already. it takes a lifetime to track the triggers of acne, so start a journal. I took it 3 times and it never goes away, you just have to manage it like diabetes. A healthy vegan diet also helps
I have always had light, sparse lashes and brows. Penciling in my brows was hard, but after I got them very lightly tattooed I had a template to follow and penciling was quick and easy. Now, with the new waxy liquid brow make-up that clings to the individual hairs, they look natural and last all day. I got a very conservative tattoo eyeliner on the upper lash line as well, this was all about 30 years ago! It is still there, so when I go swimming, I don’t look like I have no lashes. I would say less is more, but with these new brow products, you don’t have to resort to tattooing. That is so old school. Anna, you look so good. 💗
That's actually the Canadian pronounciation, we always say ''zed'' here. It's true that the French say it very similar to us, but they don't say it exactly the same - we say ''zed'', they say more like ''eh-zede'', there's a very noticable French accent to it.
For the acne, I didn't want to take the medication. I started to take some natural complement and found a good esthetician that advised me the right products for my face. and my life changed! I swear it's possible for women who struggle with it! We have to find the right way for us!
First order of business: that pink is BEAUTIFUL on you! The brows, oh, the brows. . . I’ve seen every mistake from too bushy to so thin they looked like a line drawn on. I have never seen microblading go right. I’m serious. I have a friend who INSISTED on having it done, and she really did her research. After everything healed she called me in tears. Those brows had an ORANGE base when they faded. I dye mine, and she agreed to let me try to get them to a more natural color. They looked much better, but when the dye wore off she had that orange color everywhere that blade touched. The next time she had them done they were black and she looked like one of the Marx Brothers.
When you were telling about your adult acne, I could really relate to what you were saying, but in a different way. I wore glasses for many years, but got RK (precursor to lasik) done in my mid 20s. The feeling of being able to see my son across the room without glasses for the first time was amazing! But it also improved my self confidence by 300%. I felt so much sexier and happier without the glasses. The old saying of "Sometimes, it's the little changes that make the biggest difference." is so true! For anyone who is living with acne scarring, you should microneedling. My co-worker tried it, and it made a huge difference! It is not cheap, though, and will take three of your weekends (if you do it on Fridays).
Great advice as always, Anna! 💗 Just a couple tips: For those that are looking to get ride of acne, breakouts, etc., eliminating dairy from your diet is a game-changer. You can swap out dairy for plant-based versions of it and a lot of them taste great. Also, a natural way to whiten teeth is to use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. Simple, inexpensive and effective. Don't swallow it of course though. 😁
I think the thing that's really encouraging is that these are all things that we are responsible for through our own very direct choices...it's always good to remember how many aspects of our appearance ARE choice-based and pretty much within our control. Even if you don't choose to spend out on things like veneers, you can definitely have slightly whiter teeth or neat well-kept nail polish!
I love this video! I’m definitely not wealthy, but the best gifts I’ve ever received is the money (for birthdays & Christmas) to “invest in myself”. I used to hate that term, but I’m recognizing that if I’m going to do something nice for myself, elevating my appearance makes me feel the best (instead of asking for clothes, shoes, etc). I have gotten my acne under control, my teeth issues fixed (& eventually got caps), microblading, a much needed breast implant surgery, & Botox in my glabella. Even without nice clothes and shoes, I feel so much more confident, now that those issues are fixed~ and I’m happy 😊
CASTOR OIL totally filled in my EYEBROW hair naturally after about three to four weeks of using it every day and night. Castor Oil (Organic, Hexane Free, Cold Pressed, in Glass Bottle) is GREAT!
Lovely Anna Bey, you are the best! Thank you so much for your advice! For your fine recommendations. You are so beautiful and your English is admirable. I'm looking forward to your next video and the next and next.....
I wish Donatella Versace would visit a high quality cosmetic surgeon. Remove some of her filler, and remake her face. There seems to be so many good surgeons around these days. Would love to see her with some added beauty rather than the direction she has gone. Thank you, Ana. Bkess us all! May we all enjoy health, beauty and vitality.
Great video Anna, totally agree, whatever you choose to do make sure it improves our appearance. Any permanent change must be researched extensively before proceeding with it.
girlllllll, im pretty sure eyebrow tattoo will be for LIFE it is something i will NEVER EVER do not with so many eyebrow products out there, in the seventies and eighties i could only dream of all the products that exist these days and they look so natural, you just have to be realistic and SUBTLE with them
Piece meal is not good. Keep it uniform. Instead, do a vertical restore if you are finding that you need so much done. Also, if you are having a lot of skin problems, have your liver checked. If we have toxins built up in the liver, it will show in our skin.
Please think twice about taking tetracycline (for acne) long-term. It has serious side effects. I have permanent teeth staining, low bone density, and had a blood clot in my ear. I lost 70% hearing in my left ear.
@divanapozo I have really liked Puritan's Pride brand Zinc for Acne. Not sponsored. It is inexpensive. I cut the tablets in half and take that once a day with food, since my body is very sensitive.
@@ssmith543 is your acne inflammatory? Asking this just because mine it is and I've been fighting for so many years with different treatments and I still don't seem to heal completely.
@divanapozo I did get cysts, but only about one at a time, pimples and blackheads regularly.. As soon as my mother saw the first sign, she took me to a dermatologist. That "doctor" told me it would be fine to be on a lower dose consistently. I was on tetracycline and minocycline from age 13 to 19. I permanently lost my hearing in my left ear. Now my bones are much more brittle than they should be, and my teeth have a gray shadow. I don't want you to go through what I have.
From 16 to now 76, I shave my face using disposable razors (Bic) and they last me two months ( clean blades w old toothbrush) Japanese women shave their faces. People remark that i look 50! I have almost no nasolabial folds and my neck ( also shaved) is smooth and taut no loose skin. Once shaved ( w soap) I rinse well and apply hyaluronic acid etc then sunscreen Shaving slightly exfoliates and allows better absorption of active skin products
I found I did better with no exfoliation. I tried to do it very gently, and very lightly, but it still just made my skin irritated. I wanted to exfoliate, because I felt like I had dry skin that needed to be exfoliated off, but, honestly, for me, exfoliating just made my skin irritated, no matter how gentely and infrequently I did it. I found what worked best for me was simply lots of moister. The dry skin I wanted to exfoliate away seemed to mostly go away with a lot of moisterizing. And you don't need an exepensive moisterizer. I'm in my later 40s now, my skin looks good for my age, no wrikles, and I just use cheap drugstore moisterizer, plus coconut oil. Moisterizer is moisterizer. It doesn't do anything else, despite the claims of the expensive brands. So just buy the cheap stuff. And try coconut oil. I put it straight onto my face before my shower, let it sit a while, then soap it off. Skin is soft and glowing after. I also put it in my hair, and, same thing, let it sit, shampoo it out. I have long, naturally curly hair, it gets so dry and frizzy, this helps so much.
I am sure you are a wonderfull woman! My mother is 53 she always talks about how much she changed and I really dont see it she is a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman I am sure the same goes for you dont be hard on yourself you got this ❤
Vitamin C is crucial for slowing down aging. Check out Medical Medium Anthony William info. His Cleanse to Heal book is my favorite. I take Vimergy Vitamins
Natural is always the best with the face. And a little bit of enhancement with make up. Don't follow the crowd or the trend to copy and look the same as everyone else. Be someone who turns heads for being you and feeling confident about what you have naturally. Most men love the girl next door look, very natural and a little bit of makeup. You always look lovely Anna, effortlessly polished.x 🌸

I am doing things now that I have never done before like: Weekly blowouts, not letting my roots get out of control, monthly facials. It doesn’t make us shallow or vain to care about our physical appearance. Great job I just love you and your messages ❤ ty
Please focus on your diet, sleep and rest routine as well as living an active lifestyle to promote healthy skin. Healthy skin comes from the inside - your health, physically and mentally. No amount of skincare or medication or facial treatment can help your skin if you don’t take care of your health properly. It takes time but it will be a permanent and sustainable transformation for your skin once you start living a healthy lifestyle consistently.
I know your answer will probably be unpopular, but it's absolutely spot-on.
How do you explain people that eat junk and have clear skin? With acne, have to work extra hard.
@@artemis2520 Yes but living a healthy lifestyle can still provide you a clearer step toward healthy skin. Plus if you live like sh*t but still have clear skin, I don’t think it is something to be proud of, in fact I think it is dangerous, all the toxins is built inside. Imagine this, would you rather have acne outside or inside the body where you cannot see and do anything about it because you don’t see it so you think there is nothing wrong and you don’t change and you never know one day what it will turn out, a collapse of health altogether. I battle with this post college, I personally have undergone Chinese Medicine practice that has healed my health and skin, but a healthy lifesyle is still a needed foundation for the medicine to work as well.
Thanks for this lovely comment. I know Ana had good luck with medication, but I wince a little whenever she recommends it because she never mentions alternatives.
@@artemis2520Everyone is different. If the poison isn't coming out on your face your body is putting it elsewhere.
I had my eyebrows tattoo'd and they are FABULOUS. The artist knew about pigment and how to prevent grey/blue/green shading. She did micro-shading, they're not perfectly symmetrical (because my face isn't perfectly symmetrical) but they are perfect for my face. It honestly doesn't look like I have a tattoo. Best beauty decision I made that year. 😀
Accept the way God created you.
@@NadiaIqbal-ul9ed why?
Amen 🙏❤️
@@Reina.Nijinskybecause its can make you happy, confident and fulfilled, it brings God an honour.
I’ve never done anything to my face or any part of my body. I love being me. I don’t wish to look like anyone else. It’s freedom. I prefer to STAND OUT , than fit in . I’d never want to look like everyone else.
You are so right about the eyebrows. Nowadays pretty Girls ruin their faces with terrible eyebrows. Too dark and doesnt follow the natural lines of the face
Well said Anna.Makeup should enhance not look fake.
Totally agree on brows . I had mine done in the beginning when it was so “on trend” and it was a huge mistake. They are fading some, but I have to use eyebrow pencil, gel & concealer just to make them look ok. Huge mistake! And she had done some of my friend and theirs looked really good btw 🤦🏼♀️
Always appreciate that you are to the point and don't make your points wishy washy.
Those tattoo brow "dont" images will give me nightmares tonight!
Absolutely love the earrings and the silk blouse on you ❤
Hello, lady!
These are awesome beauty tips 😀
This color of your blouse looks so good on you 💕
I used Accutanne and it finally did cure the horrific cystic acne I had. I used to miss events and spent my 20s hiding under concealer. Unfortunately I did not get the treatment till I was 40 and got ugly scars. I did get my face and confidence back eventually.
There’s laser treatment for acne scars.
same. unfortunately the drug causes permanent eye damage over time. for scars: try Fraxel (but it's $pendy)
I am 21 and suffering from mild cystic acne at the moment... it's not as bad as it was 2 years ago but I'm tired of it; it just wont go away and when I think I'm clear, another painful one comes up. I don't really want to take Accutane... I've heard many bad things about it and I don't want any bodily complications later on as I want children. How did it affect your body?
@@artemis2520 Hi artemis,
Accutane will shink your pores but also your eye glands, permanently.
I would suggest taking a vitamin A supplement, and starting on benzoyl peroxide if you haven't already. it takes a lifetime to track the triggers of acne, so start a journal. I took it 3 times and it never goes away, you just have to manage it like diabetes. A healthy vegan diet also helps
Good Idea. Please do not touch that drug huhu. Just use Tretinoin/Adaphalene or Retinol. @@artemis2520
I have always had light, sparse lashes and brows. Penciling in my brows was hard, but after I got them very lightly tattooed I had a template to follow and penciling was quick and easy. Now, with the new waxy liquid brow make-up that clings to the individual hairs, they look natural and last all day. I got a very conservative tattoo eyeliner on the upper lash line as well, this was all about 30 years ago! It is still there, so when I go swimming, I don’t look like I have no lashes. I would say less is more, but with these new brow products, you don’t have to resort to tattooing. That is so old school. Anna, you look so good. 💗
I loved how you said the x y in the English pronunciation sound then the "z" came out in the French pronunciation sound. Love it.
That's actually the Canadian pronounciation, we always say ''zed'' here.
It's true that the French say it very similar to us, but they don't say it exactly the same - we say ''zed'', they say more like ''eh-zede'', there's a very noticable French accent to it.
Thank you for the great advice! You look amazing 🥰
I love this type of comtent ❤ Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
The blouse color is stunning on you ❤
For the acne, I didn't want to take the medication. I started to take some natural complement and found a good esthetician that advised me the right products for my face. and my life changed! I swear it's possible for women who struggle with it! We have to find the right way for us!
First order of business: that pink is BEAUTIFUL on you! The brows, oh, the brows. . . I’ve seen every mistake from too bushy to so thin they looked like a line drawn on. I have never seen microblading go right. I’m serious. I have a friend who INSISTED on having it done, and she really did her research. After everything healed she called me in tears. Those brows had an ORANGE base when they faded. I dye mine, and she agreed to let me try to get them to a more natural color. They looked much better, but when the dye wore off she had that orange color everywhere that blade touched. The next time she had them done they were black and she looked like one of the Marx Brothers.
When you were telling about your adult acne, I could really relate to what you were saying, but in a different way. I wore glasses for many years, but got RK (precursor to lasik) done in my mid 20s. The feeling of being able to see my son across the room without glasses for the first time was amazing! But it also improved my self confidence by 300%. I felt so much sexier and happier without the glasses. The old saying of "Sometimes, it's the little changes that make the biggest difference." is so true!
For anyone who is living with acne scarring, you should microneedling. My co-worker tried it, and it made a huge difference! It is not cheap, though, and will take three of your weekends (if you do it on Fridays).
Hi Anna. This is a great video. You look wonderful. I can see a beauty from the inside out. You look peaceful. Love it.
Ayyyy Anna is back at it again ❤❤
Thanks a lot. Appreciate those personal (lessons) inputs. Keep up the job.
Great advice as always, Anna! 💗 Just a couple tips: For those that are looking to get ride of acne, breakouts, etc., eliminating dairy from your diet is a game-changer. You can swap out dairy for plant-based versions of it and a lot of them taste great. Also, a natural way to whiten teeth is to use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. Simple, inexpensive and effective. Don't swallow it of course though. 😁
This is all stuff we know. Thanks, Anna👍🏽
I think the thing that's really encouraging is that these are all things that we are responsible for through our own very direct choices...it's always good to remember how many aspects of our appearance ARE choice-based and pretty much within our control. Even if you don't choose to spend out on things like veneers, you can definitely have slightly whiter teeth or neat well-kept nail polish!
I love this video!
I’m definitely not wealthy, but the best gifts I’ve ever received is the money (for birthdays & Christmas) to “invest in myself”.
I used to hate that term, but I’m recognizing that if I’m going to do something nice for myself, elevating my appearance makes me feel the best (instead of asking for clothes, shoes, etc).
I have gotten my acne under control, my teeth issues fixed (& eventually got caps), microblading, a much needed breast implant surgery, & Botox in my glabella.
Even without nice clothes and shoes, I feel so much more confident, now that those issues are fixed~ and I’m happy 😊
CASTOR OIL totally filled in my EYEBROW hair naturally after about three to four weeks of using it every day and night. Castor Oil (Organic, Hexane Free, Cold Pressed, in Glass Bottle) is GREAT!
Lovely Anna Bey, you are the best! Thank you so much for your advice! For your fine recommendations. You are so beautiful and your English is admirable. I'm looking forward to your next video and the next and next.....
Nice to see you back Anna.
I wish Donatella Versace would visit a high quality cosmetic surgeon. Remove some of her filler, and remake her face. There seems to be so many good surgeons around these days.
Would love to see her with some added beauty rather than the direction she has gone.
Thank you, Ana.
Bkess us all!
May we all enjoy health, beauty and vitality.
Anna can you please make a video about toxic (jealous) girlfriends and how to deal with them ? Thank you
Good idea.
But i want to say that i personally would unfriend them.
That's what i have done a long time ago and it felt so good.
Just say no to that in your life; they will likely never change! Simple
The shirt color looks amazing.
Great video Anna, totally agree, whatever you choose to do make sure it improves our appearance. Any permanent change must be researched extensively before proceeding with it.
I miss these helpful videos!!❤
girlllllll, im pretty sure eyebrow tattoo will be for LIFE
it is something i will NEVER EVER do
not with so many eyebrow products out there, in the seventies and eighties i could only dream of all the products that exist these days and they look so natural, you just have to be realistic and SUBTLE with them
Eyebrow tattoos are a 2 to 5 year thing…they do not last forever
Ana that color is really a “wow” color on you!!😊
We missed you, Anna!
Love you Anna. You’ve been an inspiration for years. Thankful for all your advice.
Lovely Anna. I missed you too much ❤
Very brave & very honest video - much respect for you Anna x x❤❤❤
I agree, I have said that for awhile that everyone looks alike
Piece meal is not good. Keep it uniform. Instead, do a vertical restore if you are finding that you need so much done.
Also, if you are having a lot of skin problems, have your liver checked. If we have toxins built up in the liver, it will show in our skin.
Good advice for everybody to avoid bad habits.
Please think twice about taking tetracycline (for acne) long-term. It has serious side effects. I have permanent teeth staining, low bone density, and had a blood clot in my ear. I lost 70% hearing in my left ear.
I've been on tetracycline for while now but I don't know what other medication would be better since Isotretinoin is worse for me 😢
@divanapozo I have really liked Puritan's Pride brand Zinc for Acne. Not sponsored. It is inexpensive. I cut the tablets in half and take that once a day with food, since my body is very sensitive.
@@ssmith543 is your acne inflammatory? Asking this just because mine it is and I've been fighting for so many years with different treatments and I still don't seem to heal completely.
I took 10 days of Doxycycline. 10 days . Long term is a very bad idea .
@divanapozo I did get cysts, but only about one at a time, pimples and blackheads regularly.. As soon as my mother saw the first sign, she took me to a dermatologist. That "doctor" told me it would be fine to be on a lower dose consistently. I was on tetracycline and minocycline from age 13 to 19. I permanently lost my hearing in my left ear. Now my bones are much more brittle than they should be, and my teeth have a gray shadow. I don't want you to go through what I have.
These were really good tips again!
Thanks Anna ❤
From 16 to now 76, I shave my face using disposable razors (Bic) and they last me two months ( clean blades w old toothbrush) Japanese women shave their faces. People remark that i look 50! I have almost no nasolabial folds and my neck ( also shaved) is smooth and taut no loose skin. Once shaved ( w soap) I rinse well and apply hyaluronic acid etc then sunscreen Shaving slightly exfoliates and allows better absorption of active skin products
I always had a lot of peach fuzz and I also started shaving my face it works!
@@antoinette4729 Agree - I use a face razor with pre and post-micro blade oil. I also use a guasha tool. Love no peach fuzz and exfoliation.
I found I did better with no exfoliation. I tried to do it very gently, and very lightly, but it still just made my skin irritated.
I wanted to exfoliate, because I felt like I had dry skin that needed to be exfoliated off, but, honestly, for me, exfoliating just made my skin irritated, no matter how gentely and infrequently I did it.
I found what worked best for me was simply lots of moister. The dry skin I wanted to exfoliate away seemed to mostly go away with a lot of moisterizing. And you don't need an exepensive moisterizer. I'm in my later 40s now, my skin looks good for my age, no wrikles, and I just use cheap drugstore moisterizer, plus coconut oil.
Moisterizer is moisterizer. It doesn't do anything else, despite the claims of the expensive brands. So just buy the cheap stuff. And try coconut oil. I put it straight onto my face before my shower, let it sit a while, then soap it off. Skin is soft and glowing after. I also put it in my hair, and, same thing, let it sit, shampoo it out. I have long, naturally curly hair, it gets so dry and frizzy, this helps so much.
Wow, that (fuchsia?) is soooooo your color 😍 and the lipstick
it is refreshing to hear someone suggest medication... if i have acne
The colour of your shirt is gorgeous on you!!!❤
Ha ! Wait until you hit menopause and everything regarding your appearance goes crazy. I'm 53 and the struggle is real !
I am sure you are a wonderfull woman! My mother is 53 she always talks about how much she changed and I really dont see it she is a beautiful, intelligent and strong woman I am sure the same goes for you dont be hard on yourself you got this ❤
Facts! The 50s have completely torn up my appearance and there's always a new bodily surprise on the horizon...
@@darvionnegivhan5232 These young women have no clue what they're in for - I know I didn't !
Vitamin C is crucial for slowing down aging. Check out Medical Medium Anthony William info. His Cleanse to Heal book is my favorite. I take Vimergy Vitamins
Experience, personally I confirm all she is saying is so important ❤
Anna, love you❤P.S. This shirt is sooo gorgeous on you❤And you always pick me up when i am feeling like slip into depression❤😢😊
Balance and moderation is the key.
This was a great video, no one sets out to look worse sometimes thats what happens though
Thank you girlll omg some of these were so humbling 😂❤
Wow, wow, wow i love it Anna , one of the best video of yours, so proud of you, thank you, Anna is the Queen....
I appreciate your opinions Anna!
Hi Anna. You look so beautiful in your pink silk blouse. So elegant and your lipstick was so lovely aswell.
Natural is always the best with the face. And a little bit of enhancement with make up. Don't follow the crowd or the trend to copy and look the same as everyone else. Be someone who turns heads for being you and feeling confident about what you have naturally. Most men love the girl next door look, very natural and a little bit of makeup. You always look lovely Anna, effortlessly polished.x 🌸
loved the video. And the most accurate part is the line:" Everybody just looks the same" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 due to procedures done .
I agree to you Anna. I love my original appearance. I don't wanna do plastic surgery to change my nose, ...etc.
Thankyou Anna for bring us this video and advice. ❤ I have made a lots of mistake. Although i try in every way to improve and correct my mistakes. Keep making videos
Wowww your back again Anne keep on filming goodluck always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this!!! Thank you darling ❤
I love your advice, can you please 🙏 talk about going grey . Make 2 or 3 videos talking about it please 🙏
