I just love you channel! It is informative and chock-full of bite-size knowledge! Quick question... do you advise layering products such as serums, sunscreens and moisturizers on a daily basis? Do you actually benefit when such skincare products ate pile atop each other? Thank you and keep up the awesome work!

thank you for this video. and thank you for your advice about exfoliating regularly - my skin improved considerably! I wasn't expecting much of exfoliation but it really helped and I'll keep using my exfoliating face wash daily. :)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to comment on those that broke out or became itchy from mineral makeup. Many mineral brands are made with bismuth, which a lot of people are allergic or sensitive to. However, there are plenty of brands that don't use bismuth. I personally use a mineral makeup that doesn't use it. Hope that helped! Mineral makeup is amazing!

@lookn4smitty unfortunately its just a reputation. There is horror stories from many. You gonna have to risk it and try a few.

Mineral makeup was awful for me. I got clogged pores all over my face within a day. It took a while to clear my pores and get rid of the breakouts.

i tried 4 brands. The powder just sinks into my pores like no one business, and even after thorough cleansing and toning, apparently product was STILL left in the pores, because I got comedones and then general acne flareups very quickly as the days of wear passed. My skin produces lots of oil, so if something clogs my pores, I know quickly :(

Is mineral makeup safe on oily face?

@smallsushicat No problem. So glad I could help!

[smallsushicat]

@visceralanding Yes that helped a lot. Thank you so much for replying.

@smallsushicat They are absolutely fine used together, and in fact, retinoids and AHA's complement one another really well. However, since both are chemical exfoliants and thus have the potential to irritate skin, it's usually advised to use retinoids at bedtime (PM) and AHA's during the day (so, along w/your AM skin care). This way, each one can work optimally for your skin's benefit. Hope that helps! :-)

Gosh I really hope you can respond to this: I use retin-a before bed. It was given to me to help with acne. I was wondering if its okay to use glycolic acid pads in the morning, because I always have sticky dead skin cells on around my chin area, and is highly visible with makeup, but I don't want to irritate my skin, is glycolic + retin-a is too much? So okay to use both together?

you're the best, dr schutlz! i was looking at mineral foundations the other day and realized i didn't know where to start or really why it is that mineral make up has a reputation for being good for one's skin.
