No thoughts on her makeup yet but this might be a good place to ask some skincare questions:

Has anybody ever used a facial steamer for their acne? I’ve been eyeing one at Walmart for like $30 bc my acne has been OUT OF CONTROL since I got pregnant. Nothing cystic in a few weeks but I have tiny under-the-skin ones on every inch of my face and a few large raised ones. I’ve always been acne prone around my t-zone but never to this level.

I’m sure part of my problem is that this kid makes me tired af and I have not put any real effort into my skincare in like 3 months. If I remember to moisturize and put on sunscreen, it’s a good day.

Yes I started for acne and now I use it to clear up my sinuses!!! Best $ I have ever spent, I got a comment the other day from a mua I know that was like "damn your skin is clear!" And so are my sinuses.

Ugh that’s the best compliment anybody could ever give you😩 Thanks! I’ll go pick one up today

Do you remember about how long it took to start working for you? I know everybody’s different. But I have an impossible pipe dream of having clear skin before I take maternity pics at the end of the month and I wanna know if I should just lower my expectations😅

As long as you're consistent with it I saw it in about a month? 3x a week. And I had a pretty bad chin acne and under eye irritation from the mask.

Oooh interesting, can you link your reference on Walmart?

This one:

It’s closer to $40 though, I misremembered.

I noticed a huge difference when I got pregnant and had to stop using retinol. My skin texture got worse and it was super dull.

SAME. I miss retinol every damn day.
