I loved your video and I learned a lot ^-^

just wondering, what is an astringent and does everyone need to use it? what does it do?

[bethainy]

@viloy101 An astringent is basically a toner containing large amounts of alcohol ;-) I wouldn't recommend it, very harsh.

You can make your own oil cleanser: mix olive oil (1/2), castor oil (1/4) and any other oil :)

[bethainy]

@TheCaroline0991 Yeah, you can... I tried that though and found it to be more difficult and time consuming than the Boscia cleanser :-)

I'm acne-prone and have some breakouts here and there from time to time. I'm using a spot treatment from Avene (Diacnéal) but it seems to do pretty little. Do you know any other drugstore brand that really works? Thanks!

[bethainy]

@lavidaemcpel The best treatments I've found are ones which contain Benzoyl Peroxide (you only need about 2.5%). Neutrogena makes a basic spot treatment that works, but I've been using one from the dermatologist that also contains retinol and it's been working amazingly well. It's called Epiduo. I'll make a video later on about acne treatments :-)

Best video ever! Awesome!  Useful! Informative! I'm sharing it w/my friends who are just starting to wear makeup. Skin care is so important!

[dreamindessert]

Ur video totally make sense!

I use Clean and Clear oil free make up remover and the eye one (which I think does have oil)

I was also recommended the bioderma sensibo but I think the clean and clear does a better job and it's not harsh at all.

Super cheap too :)

@TheCaroline0991 thank you! I'm gonna try it =)

[viloy101]

@bethainy ohh I'm glad I asked you before buying it hehe

people should leave this to people like me in this field....dont give info if your not sure, there is sooo many different types ....you should say "this is my skin and my skin type and this is what worked for me" not you should try this..

[TheCaroline0991]

@viloy101 Actually both of them will remove everything ;D the baby cleanser and the oil cleanser :)

[viloy101]

@TheCaroline0991 would that cleanser that you mentioned work for removing eye makeup?

[beYOUtiful13]

@TheCaroline0991 BEST DIY cleanser ever!!!! Takes off makeup, cheap, removes acne and black heads like nothing else out there!!
