I have mild rosacea, and according to what I've read about the condition over the years, a chronically compromised moisture barrier is a part of it. I basically have to use barrier repairing products forever and I don't think completely fixing it is a possibility 😒. I still love watching videos like this and have gained a lot of insight on how to best care for my moisture barrier. I wish the focus on hydration and nurturing our skin were emphasized in the US, rather than punishing it with harsh products when it doesn't behave the way we want it to. We forget that it's an organ!
Oh my gosh yes, the best thing I ever learned about my skin was to go with the flow and not force it! I think that's why k-beauty has spoken to and benefited my skin so much!
This is the most helpful “barrier repair” video I’ve seen on RUclips....Thank you! 💗
You are the best skin youtuber so far.your explanations especially with moisture barrier is so explicit and routine easier to follow
As always, great advice Kelly! I always look out for extra sensitivity, definitely sets off alarm bells and I immediately focus on hydrating toner, krave great barrier relief and etude house soon jung barrier cream! I keep it simple but focused!
Such a helpful and well-researched video (as always) Kelly!
So glad you enjoyed it! 💕
You are glowing Kelly
Thank you so much!! 💕
Kelly, I came across your moisture barrier video in the fall when I had killed my barrier with Retin-A during the dry cold weather change - your advice got me back on track and just 2 months later my skin feels better and I can even use my Retin-A again. Thanks so much.
Yay, I'm so happy to hear that!!! 💕
I love hearing u talk. This video is super informative and u def know what u are talking abt thank u!
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!! I developed fungal acne did to using pore clogging oils then on top of that I was using acids and getting peels and my skin became very irritated and red. I now simplified my routine i just do 2 steps cerave foaming cleanser in the evening and cerave moisturizing cream. No cleanser in the morning only wash with water moisturiser and spf.
This was extremely helpful Kelly! Thank you!
You're so welcome, happy to know it was helpful! 💕
excellent explanation for dry skin with white/dry skin.
Woohoo congrats on 10 k and also very helpful video. I needed this right now
Thank you so much, Kara!! 🙏❤
You are absolutely adorable. Very informative video!
When I moved from CT to CO I experienced the “emergency “ level of dehydration and didn’t even know what exactly was happening to my skin barrier. I aged like 10 years in 3 months-luckily I just so happen to start my skincare journey after that (trying to anti age my new wrinkles) and discovered you!! Hallelujah! The pyunkang yul was my original savior and when the cream skin refiner came out I jumped all over that gem. Per your suggestion I got the stratia liquid gold and I was already loving the GBR so I was able to heal my barrier nicely. Thank you for your fantastic content! My skin thanks you too
YAY, I'm so happy to know my videos helped! Out west is a whole other ballgame in terms of dry air, I used to get the worst dry eyes when I lived in Utah. 😱
I moved from Florida to Colorado! I had such plump skin. Now I cant skip moisturizing my body a day. This Colorado air is no joke. The cream skin refiner is my love 💖 currently testing out some Iunik products and the Skin&lab medicica cream.
@@KellyDriscoll hello Kelly,love your channel!!Your such a wonderful wealth of information and your so easy to watch.I did a really stupid thing,I am a 40 year old female with rosacea,dermatitis,rashes and hives on my face and neck....I'm seeing an immunologist next year but it's a long wait and I was hoping you may be able to give me some advice in the meantime...I ordered a tca peel online and ever since I used it (burned my face off) my skin has been very irritated and inflamed,I constantly flush and it burns and feels so hot,i have always had mild flushing episodes for most of my life but it has never been this bad before...I have combination skin that started producing excessive amounts of oil and I have blackheads on my nose....I have stopped using perscription tretonoin for the last 5 days and I don't exfoliate anyway now as it hurts too much ,even the gentlest ones....Over the last 5 days of following your instructions my skin has not improved at all,is this common ? I know it may take 2 weeks to 6 weeks but i thought after 5 days I would start to notice even a minor change in irritation and redness levels ?I find that a lot of mornings I will wake up and my skin looks quiet calm,then as soon as i rub a product into it,or even just touch it with my hands it starts to go really red...this is not from product irritation or anything like that, its just the friction,even rubbing my skin lightly or splashing water over it and wiping it clean with a cotton round makes my skin turn red...Im thinking it may be a mast cell reaction as I also have these types of reactions to food....so I'm really confused as to whether it is a barrier problem or allergic reactions or maybe both. ...What was your experience like if you can remember,how long did it take to see even a minor reduction in irritation and redness ? I'm also scared to stop using my tretonoin for a long period of time incase I start to lose firmness I find it gives my skin....
The 1st three signs are totally matching with my issues!!!!
A much needed video Kelly!!!
Thank you x
You're so welcome!! 💕
Great video and information as always! Texas is very moody with the dryness and therefore my skin is too. Sidebar: I love INXS too.
OMG I'm a superfan, Mary! 👍💕
When you watch the ads all the way through to support your favorite youtuber! 💖🤟
Thank you so much!! 🙏❤
@@KellyDriscoll anytime girlie 💖
Love you Kelly! I’ve been using some of your recommendations such as iUnik Beta Glucan serum, Clean It Zero, Laneige Refiner and also Soon Jung 6.5 whip cleanser. Gonna try more when i have the extra cash
So glad you're enjoying some of my recommendations and really happy to help! 💕
Guilty with not reapplying sunscreen. ✌ Will do that starting tomorrow. With regards to not cleansing in the morning, I tried it but my dry cheek area became oily and my T-zone shone from all the oil. I will try again but will use a wash cloth as you suggested but I'm not that optimistic given our hot & humid weather. Thank you for your very informative videos, and for the best value for money product suggestions!
It's always worth a try, but definitely make the best decision for you!👌
Thank you Kelly! I just used a high pH cleanser and yep, whiteheads are popping on my face 😭
Thanks Keylly!
How I wish I'd had this video in Sept 2018 when I damaged my moisture barrier by leaving a glycolic exfoliator on too long. My skin was so sensitive that the moving air from the air conditioner bothered it. It took me months to recover. I did all the right things to heal my skin, (eventually) but maybe I could have sped things along a little by recognising the signs and following the advise here. Thank you for the education. Key of course is setting a timer when I use glycolic. 😁
Oh no! I feel you, I went through that long trial and error journey to heal mine too and it was frustrating but enlightening. Tough lesson to learn but glad to be on the other side!👍
Very useful video Kelly dear, I dread a damaged moisture barrier to be honest. Xoxox mili
I do experience some dryness but because I started using retinol 0.5 in squalane frome the ordinary, but this is normal I know. Love toning, layering different ones, looooove pky, hanskin, i have the bamboo one unopened yet and the soon yung is on its way here. Thanks for all your recommendations, makes me use my buck a bit more wisely. Xoxox mili
OMG thanks god I discovered you!! Do you recommend the cerave hydrating cleanser if I have combination acne and closed comedones prone skin? Btw I don't wear makeup, only sunscreen and only cleanse once a day 🤗
I loove your videos and this one made me finally realize what's wrong with my skin, thank you so much!! (You probably won't see this but:) do you think I can still use the vitamin C by Klairs while healing my skin? I haven't tried it yet (any Vit. C in general) and stopped exfoliating but I've wanted to try it out for suuch a long time now because of hyperpigmentation :d
Congrats on 10k!
Thank you, Emma! 💕
Lol good timing. I just applied 10% benzoyl peroxide the morning after using 0.05 tretinoin and my skin is absolutely *screaming* and coming off in pieces. I don't think I even have a moisture barrier anymore!
Oh no! 😱Hopefully that barrier bounces back quickly!
Definitely going through this right now!! My acne is flaring and it’s so exhausting :( I’ve been drying my skin out using harsh ingredients
Did ur skin improve
@@ameeraasif908 no girl about to go on accurate 🤦♀️
I was using Thayers witch hazel for a couple years with a bit of argan oil or sweet almond oil and my skin didnt seem to have an issue. it started getting really sensitive and dry so i switched over to honey and jojoba oil. I got pregnant and my skin went so wonky! Ive always had great skin even in my past pregnancies so I wa sso cinfused but hey hormones. I started using essential oils, prob not diluted enough and ,aybe 9 months later my skin was just angry at me. I tried cerave and la rosay pose and my skin got madder and madder. I then had a food allergy that messed my skin up for a couple weeks and slowly recovered. at that point i knew I had done something to my skin. it was just so red, angry. flarred up. almost started to think i may have rosacea...but i just wasnt so quick to think that was the case. I came scross your video and a couple others that made me realize I may have in fact been slowly destroying my barrier. so i stopped everything...started oil cleansing and just sing some aloe and glycerine. unfortunatley the good skin only lasted a month and now im back to angry skin again. Im feeling a bit helpless and hate the idea of spending more money on skincare that may not work for me yet again. but im very tempted to buy some korean skincare, maybe the ones you recommended. I just dont know what to do and since ive never had skin issues, im feeling a bit vulnerable and disheartend. I though I could heal my skin naturally with some oil but Im not sure i can...
Currently in the very weak, starting to get to damaged stage. I should have listened to my skin earlier, it would feel very tight and dehydrated but have what seemed like pools of oil. Stopped moisturising as much, had a face wash that was too harsh, and then added a chemical exfoliate on top of all that to try to help breakouts and pores. Not to mention I wouldn't consistently wear SPF until I introduced chemical exfoliation.
Skin is so dehydrated, I can do my routine (sans any actives) and end with a very well formulated moisturizer and be feeling tight and dry after a couple hours tops :( knowledge is power, wish I had known better earlier! Going to basics for now. A gentle cleanser, steps focusing on hydration, really listening to my skin, and liquid gold. Thankfully I didn't quite reach the sensitivity stage, so I'm hopeful to repair this with knowledge from you and others like James Welsh. Thank you for all the videos on the moisture barrier!
Did ur skin improve
@@ameeraasif908no
Ceramides cholesterol and fatty acids, lol already memorized them. The ato cream is also on its way.
Hi Kelly 🥰 Can cystic acne occur because of broken skin barrier? 😬☹️ The video was amazing, so wholesome, thank you 🤩❤️
Kelly!! I know this was from some months ago but for this issue, would the mugwort essence from im from be better than the bamboo toner?? THANKS A LOT!
Moisture Barrier Queen 👑
Kelly the chemist 👩🔬😍
For me the biggest sign of dehydration is tightness/dullness. I'm both dry and dehydrated so I'm very careful to use hydrating products in conjunction with emollients/occlusives. If I'm very dry I get flakes (thank you eczema), but my skin feels two sizes too small when it's very dehydrated. Weather, lifestyle, general health can all play a role in changing my skin, so I change my products/layers accordingly. Best wishes.
2 sizes too small! 😱This is a very good description! I'm still learning how my lifestyle plays into it, curious if certain foods can help!
@@KellyDriscoll I eat fruit and veg but I also take supplements: omegas, multivitamins, collagen and hyaluronic acid. I drink plenty of fluids, but that doesn't seem to do anything other than make me go to the toilet frequently and has little noticable effect on my skin. I live in Scotland and wear spf daily, so I take a multivit including vit D. The collagen/hyaluronic acid seems to help my hair more than my skin I find. The omegas made the most appreciable difference to my skin of them all. Hope that helps.
@@lorainemcgillivray77 Oh super interesting! I'll have to look into omegas, makes a lot of sense! If only drinking water helped!
Hello, can you do microneedling/dermarolling with damaged moisture barrier/dehydrated skin? Thankyou!
Me finding this video when my skin barrier is actually wrecked . This was so helpful. I don’t know what could’ve caused this though , could you help me ?
What mineral sunscreens do you recommend? I’ve been dealing with a weak moisture barrier and haven’t found one suitable yet (Bad! I know)
Do you use the liquid gold still even after your moisture barrier issue has been fixed?
What product would you recommend for prevention of blackheads
So do I need to change my cleanser? I’m currently using Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp Hydrating cleanser.
Also is oiliness and tightness a sign of a weak or damaged moisture barrier?
What about using benton bha aloe toner and cosrx snail mucin essence ?
Lrp tolerent soften ph 5,5 facewash is very gentle
Can I use Some By Mi Snail Truecica Serum for my damaged skin barrier?😢😢
How do you reapply sunscreen over makeup?
is cerave moisurizing cream good for rosacea?
Now I understand why people say to stop using products on your skin, it’s all those harsh products to eliminate bad skin, that makes it worse., and people who are not se educated would say and recommend just to use water because they don’t know all that other really good and beneficial products.
Kelly, have you tried the cica sleeping mask from laneige? what are your thoughts on it?
I have and I liked it but I took it out of my routine when I stopped using essential oils. It's very thick and creamy, best for dry skin!
I'm definitely in the damaged moisture barrier phase :( My skin is not happy adjusting to the jump of tretinoin 0.05 to 0.1 during winter. But I'm loving the stratia's liquid gold! Feels very nourishing in my skin. Hopefully it will get better in a few weeks.
Ooo sounds like some tough timing! Being proactive and on top of those healing ingredients will definitely help you transition!👌
How long can it take to repair moisture barrier?
Damage skin barrirer treatments are mostly if not all high in moisture and the texture of the skin is very dry. But how about my case? I have extreme damage face now but too much oil. How can I treat my damage face without being soaked in oily face almost dripping oil.
Can a damaged moisture barrier cause hyperpigmentation as well?
Kelly, is the Heimish cleanser okay for acne prone sensitive skin? I've read that I should only use non- foaming hydrating gel cleansers?
I can't speak to acne as I'm not prone but it's definitely sensitive skin friendly. Texture is almost like a jelly cleanser!
Kelly, do you like the unscented Klairs Supple Preaparation toner for hydrating?
I do like it, I consider it a "thicker" toner (like the pky mentioned in the vid) and found it worked best for me paired with a more watery toner.
Kelly, how did you like the isntree artemisia ampoule? I've never really see it in your routine anymore. Is it a great artemisia product?
I like it a lot, it's a light texture but has a touch of richness to it that wasn't the best mix with all the emollient and oil layers I've been using this winter. I'll probably bring it back in spring!
Hi kelly thanks for the video! I have an oily dehydrated skin but i don't know what to do. Cus everytime i use hydrating products, my skin breaks out. I also use GBR, and it broke me out. Help :(
Make sure you apply your products lightly and in patting motion.Wait until the products to dry on your skin before applying the next product. Try to avoid cleanser that makes your skin feel squeaky clean because that will trigger the oil glands. So even if you put enough products, your sebum still gonna come out.
Kelly HEEELP! LOL
I failed to run my humidifier the last couple nights and my face has taken a serious hydration hit. This morning I woke up to a tight, dry face with almost an irritant-type rash on it. (I have dry/sensitive skin)
Do you think I could/should use the Illyoon moisturizer, which I have and use, a couple times a day? Not just AM and/or PM? Or would that be too much?
Also should I lay off my Retin-A at night for a week or so?
I use it 4 nights a week +/-
Yes you can apply your moisturizer again mid day to help relieve the irritation (I've done this many times!). I think laying off the retin-a for a short while will help your skin bounce back faster!
My skin had been doing phenomenally and I had been doing so well with my prescription retina treatment. However I noticed that last few days my skin will sting when I use products that don’t ever sting my skin and I think I may have applied too much retina. I sometimes am in a hurry to finish up my skincare at night because it can take 20 min or more to do everything. I use many of the products you mentioned and I’m not sure if it the Hado Labo cleanser I’m using but I need to go back to my Krave Beauty or Soon Jung cleansers. I definitely hope that it doesn’t get worse because my skin has been in such a great place and I would hate all that hard work to go to waste. Thanks for always making fantastic videos Kelly. 💕💕💕
I know what you mean about slapping on the layers quickly! 🙈These are the times I just take it easy and maybe add in an extra nourishing wash off mask and/or sleeping pack at the end of my routine to kind of boost my skin back up to health. Hopefully it's a temporary thing for your skin!
Kelly Driscoll Yes I think I definitely might have went a little overboard so I’m going to scale back a little bit on the retinal and just kind of focus on really hydrating my skin do you have any sleeping packs that you recommend? Are used to be huge on the Laneige one until I realized that it had fragrance in it and that really bummed me out.
Jennifer Maldonado hi, I'm not Kelly but I like the Cosrx Rice sleeping mask! No fragrance and hasnt given me breakouts! HTH
Emily Rachel Gilley hi I use that everyday lol. I do love it but I’m just trying to see if there are other things that maybe I need to try, that’s maybe a bit thicker.
@@jenlauren143 maybe try klairs midnight blue cream. As far as wash off masks I would recommend I am from honey mask.
Hey beautifull..... Is oil cleansing methode good to repair damaged skin barrier??
It's not really "repairing" already, you need to wash it off, but it's at least not further damaging the barrier (if you use a gentle, hydrating cleanser for a second cleanse and definitely better than less gentle cleanding with more skin rubbing and tugging or harsher astringent ingredients).
It's the right step into the right direction, but repair products need to come afterwards.
Hi Kelly, have you tried vitamin C other than Klairs'? I would love to see your thoughts and in depth on the ingredient!
i haven't tried much outside of the neogen vitamin C powder which I like a lot but use infrequently.
Kelly Driscoll Try TI’AM My Signature C Source or By Wishtrend 22.5 Vitamin C Serum
I herd the Cosrx vitamin c is supposed to be really good. Havent tried it though.
Hi. My cheeks have this burning sensation and it is very itchy. I had to go for a skin specialist once a month and what they gave me is a medicine that contains steroids. Whenever I had outbreak or burning sensation, i will need to consume/apply the med. (It is not a long term solution, but at least I feel better)
I have tried Ceradan and also Cerave products. But I think the cream is too heavy for me. (I stay in Malaysia)
Just wondering, do you any suggestions on product that contain ceremide that is suitable to use in a hot and humid country? (Specially to repair broken skin barrier)
Try Liquid Gold by Stratia. It isn't too heavy (I have to use a normal moisturizer after) but it will help heal your skin barrier. It's known for that. There is also Krave, the great barrier relief but that might be a bit heavier for you. You can also only buy if you live in a few countries where as Stratia ship internationally.
Here is Kelly's review of the products;
iamkellydriscoll.com/2019/07/29/stratia-lquid-gold-vs-krave-great-barrier-relief-skincare-showdown/
moisture barrier and skin barrier are same or different?
Same thing! 👌
Can your skin oil production be normal while still having an impaired skin barrier? I don’t feel or look particularly oily or dry but I have breakouts that are lingering for weeks at a time while also noticing a very focused [non blemish] spot of irritation/inflammation. My esthetician says she can’t imagine I’d be dealing with an impaired skin barrier bc Ive been using the Osmosis Rescue serum for months but she also hasn’t seen my skin first hand since the end of Feb. I just don’t understand how/why my skin will show signs of improvement (mostly in my acne journey) only to seem to take 3 steps back overnight. I have been very mindful to not over do active products (i.e. Vit A, exfoliants, masks, etc.) or treatments (I.e. HF wand, LED, icing) on a given day/night and have mostly stuck to enzyme exfoliants as needed (I did however recently use the Good Molecules pineapple powder [acid] exfoliant once which seemed gentle though) so the only thing I figure that could be impeding progress or explain my most recent setback is impaired barrier function. I don’t feel like I am experiencing most of the common signs though so I’m just feeling super confused.
Did ur skin get better
@@ameeraasif908 oh wow, that was a year ago and truthfully I don't remember what was going on. I am at a great place with my skin now and have found a balance of combating acne while maintaining good hydration/moisturization/barrier function.
Ive damaged my skin barrier by chemical peels and tretinoin , i feel like my face is sagging and wrinkles more obvious , im using all the right products its been 2 weeks and its still the same how long can i take to repair ? Xx
Depends on each individual's skin since skin is unique. May take weeks, months, with some a week or two. No rule to it
Hi Kelly! This video is very informative. I have Combination skin with an Oily forehead and a dry U Zone, but I actually have flaky skin on the bridge of my nose and between my eyebrows. I'm currently using a low ph cleanser Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser and moisturize with Etude House 2x Barrier Cream. In addition, I also sleep with a humidifier because I live in Nevada where it's bone dry. What would you suggest to get rid of the flakiness? I've tried the 5.5 Relief toner but after 2 days my skin was kind of itchy same with the Laneige. Should I add a serum to my routine?
Hi obviously not Kelly, but I have eczema so deal with a lot of flakes. Gentle use of a washcloth can help get rid of surface flakes DON'T SCRUB! Also I use a gentle lactic acid toner a couple of times a week (DHC Soothing Lotion) to dissolve the glue holding the flaky skin onto my face (patch test any new product as I notice you mentioned itching). You need to use an emollient on dry/flaky skin either the barrier repair products mentioned like liquid gold etc or a more affordable option with minimal ingredients is squalane oil on the flaky patches under your moisturiser. Hope that helps.
@@lorainemcgillivray77 Hi i'm open to those suggestions. And i'm going to try out some of those products you mentioned. Thank you! I never had this issue before with the flakes until last year but are skin changes as we get older. I was thinking I might have a slight case of dermatitis in that area. I'm in my late 20s trying to get it right.
I second the suggestion to try adding in an oil, even if it's just to the troubled areas. You might want to look for a moisturizer with ceramides in it as well, ET Soon Jung is great but your skin might need something a little more repairing/healing right now.
@@KellyDriscoll Thanks for the response Kelly I appreciate it! Do you know where I can find the ingredients list of the Ceramide cream you mentioned in this video in english?
@@koolkai4299 incidecoder.com/products/illiyoon-ceramide-ato-concentrate-cream
Is it fine to use 2 different types of toners at the same time cuz that's what I'm doing it now?
You can as long as they are not both exfoliators:)
For a long time after I applied my skincare, I would feel some thing on my face. It felt like I had a pet hair on my face. Felt like something was crawling on my face. But nothing would be there. I thought that it was one of my products. I tried an elimination technique to find the product but never could narrow it down. I have since tried to simplify my routine to cure this. It’s better. But some days it still happens. In the lists of symptoms for a weakened moisture barrier this symptom doesn’t come up. Any thoughts?
We do have some tiny mites call demodex crawling in our pores that actually eat sebum an live in our pores. That is why some pimples disappear on their own because the mites eat it up..
I had thought of that and researched it but I don’t think that this is the cause for me. Even if there is an overgrowth of the eyelash mites, feeling them is unlikely. I have no redness or any other symptoms.
Maybe it's a hair though or some dirt/dust from the air or fibres from your clothes, especially on a right-after-skincare-face those stick really well. In my experience especially polyester pullovers lose more fibres that might stick to the face, especially when energetically charged because of rubbing of the fibre when putting it on.
@@cfazande I do also think it's mites! Esp if you have that crawling sensation.. there are different kinds not just the demodex species on our lashes. What products do you use?
Imani Frances I use a lot of different products. Cerave hydrating or murad salicylic wash for cleanser. At the time of writing my original comment, nature republic collagen essence, not really doing anything. Moisturizers: make prem hydrate me, murad nutrient, klairs blue cooling, depends on the day. What I found is that I might not be exfoliating enough. The i exfoliated too much! Anything with fragrance, alcohol, or too many silicones added to the irritation. I have super dry mature skin so not sure what kind of mites it might be. I have no other visible skin irritations or pimples. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
So this crepe skin is reversible?? 😭😭
I am curious about using the ceramide, fatty acid and cholesterol product first, so your barrier would absorb it without other previous layers of toners etc. in the way. Wouldn't that be better for direct contact?
Not necessarily going to "block" the absorption but you do want to make sure your products are layered properly (thinnest to thickest) most ceramide/cholesterol/fatty acid products are formulated as creams.
Does sun screen go on before or after moisterizer?
After moisturizer.
After!
Can I wear makeup while trying to repair my skin?
No you should wait til it’s healed I’m trying to repair my skin as well I wore makeup once it made it worse
My barrier is so damaged; I have such dryness and redness, irritation, and pain any time I apply the most gentle thing. I’m worried my skin has no hope of healing and I’m only 22. I wish to be able to repair my barrier 🤞🏼
Don't wash your face not even with any natural based cleaners. To clean your face just soak for 15 mins with any DIYs and rinse it with just water. thank me later.
Sathish Kumar I just apply squalane oil and then rinse with bottled water for cleansing.
@@saraann3468 perfect. Hope it works for you. In my case, oil won't do the cleaning effect for me. So, I do use powder based like backhoil and others. I did this once before a month, my face improved a lot, later when I went back to usual cleaning n
my face completely got out of improvement to worst. Still I'm on the process of healing. Stay updated. Let's fight this.
@@saraann3468 did you find improvement? And finding the cause wat made this is very important. In my case I left a face pack on face for around 2 hours regularly way back 6 months before, when I came home only I realized that how bad my face went. So please figure out what's the cause.
Sathish Kumar That’s interesting, I will not go back to any cleansers for a long time, I do not want to strip any moisture. I recently started a ceramide cream: illiyoon ato ceramide concentrate. I found out about it from Kelly Driscoll and I like it a lot so far! I use vitamin E as an emollient. Best of luck to you! Agreed, we have to stay positive and diligent with skin care and I pray we can get strong, healthy skin again 🤞🏼
666th "like" 😎😂 Great info here, thank you!
Why does she talk so... weird tho man
