Hey y'all, today I'm going to show you how I use chemist confessions with my combination skin. So I start off with cleansing my face with Blink Slade. I love this stuff because it's pH balanced, which means that it doesn't strip my skin. I'm a pretty messy face washer, so I got water literally everywhere. I'm going in with the Aqua Fix. I love this as a moisturizer. It's super lightweight and I mix it with the gold standard, applying it everywhere except around my eyes. Right now I'm going to be going in with Double Play, which is a face and eye retinol, but I'm just going to be using it around my eyes today. Just pat it on like that and I'm done.

We're cosmetic chemists and let's talk about glycolic acid today. Woohoo! Number one, it's commonly perceived as not very gentle, however, this is where concentration matters. So if you're sensitive, try starting at a much, much lower level. A 5% is a great place to start. You can also think of this as more than a chemical exfoliant because at much higher concentrations you're thinking of the 30% level. It can even fight fine lines and wrinkles. You just want to think about it as different ways of using it. For daily maintenance, target 5-10%. For that higher level of efficacy for your fine lines and wrinkles or even hyperpigmentation, use a 30% glycolic rinse-off mask once a week. For some product inspiration, check out Pixi Glow Tonic as a starter with just 5% glycolic acid you can use every night. Also check out this guy, Gold Standard, 30% glycolic acid plus 5% tranexamic acid as a wash-off mask. Don't forget your sunscreen. Please sunscreen! Please!
