My holy grail moisturizer for fall/winter in Washington is The Body Shop - Aloe Soothing Body Butter in the tub. I slather my arms, legs, feet (put socks on after), and hips before bed and let it soak in overnight. My skin drinks it up and I feel like the moisture lasts through the day. And my sensitive skin loves it and it doesn’t really have a scent. The Body Shop always has sales and coupons so I stock up!!
Girl!! Re: Accutane I used Accutane a couple years ago and (I hate to say this) it friggin works, but watch out! Keep eye drops, nasal spray, lotion, and lip balm on you AT ALL TIMES. I would wake up in the middle of the night with nose bleeds due to dryness. My hands looked like crocodile skin after a couple weeks, and would crack and bleed as well. My face looked absolutely crazy for a couple weeks too - it was a flaky, red mess, and I couldn't wear any face makeup or it would just look even crazier. BUT, despite all the negative crap, it did work for my acne. I didn't have a zit for an entire year after and my skin healed beautifully. Now It's been a few years so it's effectiveness is wearing off, so I'm getting more acne again, but it was worth it. Good luck, girl. (And please keep in touch with your loved ones A LOT during this process and let them know that depression is a serious side effect. If they start noticing you becoming depressed, make sure they let you know, And have a plan in place in case it happens. It happened with me as well and I had to quit a week early. So just an FYI) xox
The eucerine lotion line. I recommend because it isn't greasy and it really rehydrated the skin. I'm a cosmetologist and I work in the nursing field and I'm a mom I have psoriasis and it works really great.
Those oil cleansers that you are not into are doing exactly what they are intended to do. They are for people who double cleanse. They melt the atubborn make up, then you go back in with another cleanser a cream or gel type and water. I am in love with the Dermacological one. Love it. Micha
Try Cerave moisturizers! For my face I love the night cream and for body the huge white tub. Definitely gets rid of the scaly patches and lasts forever.
For hairspray I have a couple of suggestions (as a stylist) Redken 32 It says it is an extreme high hold and it can be. But I find it’s amazing to layer. I use it with my blow outs. As I’m round brushing once I’m done with the section and I roll it in to let it sit I spray it. After I’m done and I style I give a good stay and it’s done. The way it sprays is also awesome IGK Beach Waves. It’s a sea texturized without salt. I LOVE it.
My favorite makeup remover is a Korean balm cleanser. It's the Heimish All Clean Cleansing Balm and it removes makeup so easily (even my water-resistant sunscreen). It's available on Amazon and it comes in a little tub with a tiny spatula. I love it.
Cleansing oils and balms are made to make it easier to remove makeup. Apply oil or balm, rub into skin to loosen, rinse, then use your cleanser. Longwear foundations glide right off, no pulling or tugging on your skin.
LOVE Living Proof!! The dry shampoo is amazing! I have vivid purple hair and it never leaves a bite cast and leaves my hair gorgeous! If you order directly from their website, you always get tons of free generous samples (travel sizes).
I was on accutane for years and I couldn’t use lotion with fragrance because my skin is so sensitive. At my dermatologist suggestion, I started using cetaphil lotion on my face decades ago. Due to Lupus and eczema, I’ve had the most sensitive, red and itchy skin on my face and especially around my mouth and chin, so at my newer dermatologist suggestion, for the past 8 years or so, I started using Sarna and it is amazing. It helps with itching too without any steroidal creams like hydrocortisone cream. Now that my skin isn’t as sensitive and has healed from the Lupus rash because I’m currently not in a flare, I’m able to use some other face products. Now I’m using Cerave moisturizing face cream. There is a daytime version with SPF in it. I really love their lotions, especially their face cream because it has hyaluronic acid in it.
For body lotion, Sol de Janeiro! It's sold at sephora and is absolutely incredible. Expensive af, but so luxurious and smells delicious. I love the original scent but they also have an acai berry one out now. I suggest trying it out though ❤️
Hi, Taylor. I am new to watching makeup videos on TH-cam and am a recent subscriber. I have seen you mention getting migraines in a couple videos and my heart hurts for you. I used to get TERRIBLE, completely debilitating migraines on a regular basis. I usually got two per month that lasted between 6 and 8 hours. I couldn’t go to work, couldn’t drive, couldn’t eat...all I could do was wait it out in a dark room. I tried everything: over-the-counter meds, prescription muscle relaxers, a chiropractor, essential oils, massage therapy, EVERYTHING! One day I came across an article about something called a daith piercing. I did my research and thought it might be worth a shot. After a particularly bad migraine (that ruined a family event) my husband took me to get my ears pierced. It has been life changing! I haven’t had a migraine since February. Sometimes I still get the “aura” (tingly fingers, shoulder pain, and weird vision) but I never actually get the pain of an full-on migraine. I know that you may have already heard of this, but it has been so helpful to my life that I couldn’t resist sharing. All the happy thoughts. 😊
Eucerin has been my go to lotion for years. Is thick scent and dye free and absorbs beautifully. Plus it was recommended by son's pediatrician for him when he was a newborn.
I remember watching you when you were at 50K and now you’re past 400K. I don’t know why today specifically I got super happy for your success. You’re honestly my favorite beauty TH-camr, and you’re the only one whose product recommendations I look into (I have dry skin and little pores yet whatever I buy from your recommendations works.) You’re too awesome! 🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃🖤🎃
The Clinique take the day off balm is an amazing oil cleanser! It takes off all your makeup and doesn't leave any residue on your skin, it actually makes your face feel moisturized. ❤️❤️
Understandable. In my opinion the two powders I hear her mention frequently is the it cosmetics celebration foundation illumination and the Laura geller baked foundation powder I believe it's called.
The Neutragena Norwegian line is incredible for dryness. I worked for a dermatologist for 4 years and we recommended that and Cetaphil and Cerave for our accutane patients.
I'm obsessed with coconut, and I really love the Jergens lotion with coconut oil and water. It smells so good and it works amazingly. I even use it on my face.
Lubriderm is by far my favorite body lotion! It's light weight and fast absorbing and don't leave any kind of film or stickiness or greasiness behind but its still super moisturizing.
I use coconut oil to get the make up off my face. It does leave your face all greacy but i clean it off with a damp towel and then wash my face. Love it!
This video wasn't showing anywhere on the TH-cam app I hate TH-cam lately I need my fav youtubers to make money and keep me entertained haha love you! XOXO
Taylor I love how authentic you are. I don't feel like I'm being sold to, by you, like I do with some youtubers. You come across as a take no shit/ talk no shit friend whose got my back, it's so refreshing.
The key to good moisturizing is having your body wet and then apply the lotion. Also, look for noncomedagenic. Hyloric acid is great for moisturizing too. The big key is to again, apply to wet skin.
There are a few lotions in the Midwest made with rough and tough farmers in mind. I've used utter balm and working hands before and they are HEAVY duty. I will say they can burn a bit if your hands are too dry, but if you can keep them from drying out that bad they work great. Utter balm can supposedly be used for cow utters that get cracked and dry from milking, and working hands is good for anyone in a hands-on profession (mechanic, farmer). I've heard of corn huskers too. I'd only try udder balm on hands, feet, elbows, and nipples. Working hands also has products out for feet and lips. My hands were so dry, worse than ppl I know who've used Accutane, and this is what got me through winter.
I recently purchased the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate and I’m so in love! I have combination skin with a very oily t-zone. I apply it after my Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea Toner before bed and my skin feels amazing in the morning! 🤗💕🙌🏻
I have SUPER dry skin and my holy grail product is the Palmers deep radiance body gel oil. I use that when I get out of the shower and in the morning my skin feels SO much softer.
Have you tried the Jergens wet skin moisturizer? It's the best! I never found a cream that would last. My skin is super silky now. Not the cocoa scent one the other. And CeraVe is great too.
I thought your shadow was from subculture so obviously there's no reason to make it work when there's other palettes out there that can give the same appearance. You look beautiful. I'm staring at my Laneige lip mask right now. Love it. Also, I'm all about that Loreal liquid lip life too.
You are my new favorite MUA. You have a no BS way with your videos. You supply so much variety! Also, on a more personal note, you have very light skin and acne, like I️ do. However, I️ believe I️ am more than 10 year’s older than you are, but I’m glad you mention more mature skin types in your videos. Thanks for your efforts and all your work :) BEST MUA EVER!
Another hairspray you can try that will give a decent hold without being too crunchy is Aveda Air Control. It smells amazing too without being too strong, so you could wear perfume with it if you wanted to.
Finding that perfect contour shade is difficult! I found an awesome one for fair, cool toned ladies. Makeup Geek's contour powder "break up" (cool porcelain) is the best I've found! It blends out like nothing I've ever tried and it's not too ashy or orange on me. Perfection!
I bought the Milk foundation and I love it but was very confused on the undertone. I guess I don't know how to know that. I also bought your ELF blending brush and it helped sheer out the foundation so I love that. Thank you for your videos, I've bought a lot of things through them. You're awesome!
When you do acutane, I recommend the Lush lotions. Especially Dream Cream. Most lotions from the drug store are made with petroleum/mineral oil and won't do anything real. Lush is made with oils. Highly recommend!
I have ridiculously dry skin. Another affordable product you can try is the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Smoothing Body Butter with Shea. It comes in a tub. That stuff is the frikin bomb. I do the same thing you do, lather it all over my body after my shower at night and by morning it feels like I have new skin. The smell is light but absolutely amazing, I've literally been using it for years and I think you'd really love it. Awesome for people on accutane as well. I've recommended it to several of my friends.
Love these videos!! Word of advice though: Anything that made you feel oily, keep them!! I’m on accutane &anything with oil has helped me tremendously. Can’t wait for #foundationfriday 🙌🏼😻
I am on accutane and I have fallen in LOVE with the First Aid Beauty line. I get it at sephora. Fragrance free. Doesn't break me out. Moisturizing! But the ultra repair intensive lip balm will save your lips! And apparently Dr.Dan's cortibalm you can get on amazing. And I use the FAB cleaner and intensive repair lotion which you can use anywhere but also on your face without breaking you out! I also use just plain rose hip oil on my face which doesn't break me out and the Clinique sunscreen and my favorite setting powder is Laura mercier as it doesn't stick to dry spots, which you will have a lot of, and it is great for smoothing pores and I am also fair skinned so I love it! Good luck!!
Hey Taylor! Try taking the GlamGlow oil cleanser off by wiping over it with a warm, wet washcloth. If you just use water and try to rub, it leaves a film, but if you just massage it into your dry skin and then wipe it off with a wet washcloth, it wipes totally clean and doesn't leave and residue on the skin. I follow it with my actual face cleanser, but the Galacticleanse is my new go-to makeup remover.
I have oily, acne-prone skin too. I haven't used the Dermalogica PreCleanse balm but I currently use the regular PreCleanse version. I find that it works well at removing makeup. I follow it with a simple cleanser like CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. In the shower I use Noble Formula 2% Pyrithione Zinc Original Bar Soap (the nonvegan version) and it has seriously changed my life. That one really needs warm water to fully wash away, but my skin has never felt cleaner after using it. And it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry either. You can find it on Amazon.
Perfectly Posh has a range of really nice lotions, and they use natural ingedients instead of perfumes. I have one of their hand cremes, and it's amazing. Leaves the skin super soft and not greasy or sticky, and it smells fantastic. I believe they also have some hair care items too.
The best oil cleanser I have found is the Burt's Bee's oil cleanser. No residue, takes off every stitch of makeup. Sometimes, I forget to go in with my cleanser after I use it because my face is so fresh and clean after. I would definitely recommend it.
A good oil cleanser or cleansing balm is the nooni deep snowflake cleanser. I use the one that isn’t labeled oil cleansing balm. The one that is labeled that has a jelly formula, where as the one that I use has a solid balm formula which melts easier. They both are the exact same product, it’s just a matter of preference. It’s a Korean oil based cleanser that’s fragrance free and great for sensitive skin. I have very oily skin and am very afraid to use new skincare products on my skin because I also have acne prone skin. After a couple of uses with this cleanser, I’ve never broken out. It’s literally awesome. You can find it at ulta for $17. Probably the best cleanser yet, but I would recommend any Korean oily cleansing balm because of its good ingredients. After every time I use this, I wipe it with a makeup wipe after and nothing ever appears on it. When you when it off with lukewarm water it turns into a milky consistency. So it’s a little easier to wash.Hope this helps!
You're amazing! You're the only vlogger I care to watch. I've gone through two rounds of accutane and still deal with acne so I love watching your videos and finding out products that have worked for you. Thank you for all you do! Xoxo
My hairspray hunt was unreal. Finally found the Chi volume hairspray in the purple can. It’s seriously magical. I can usually find it at TJ Maxx as well which is a bonus! Ulta carries it as well.
Another amazing hair spray is the Moroccan oil luminous hair spray strong finish. I would describe it the same way you described the living proof one except that there is no strong smell. I swear by it, it's the best.
The DHC olive oil cleanser is BOMB. It melts your makeup off (I wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner), but it doesn't leave your skin oily at all. Also, an excellent body moisturizer that is pretty affordable is the Vanicream (sounds like something for the vagina - it's not, I swear.) It's what they suggest for people who have had stem cell transplants because your skin gets insanely dry.
I haven't tried that Ambient Light palette, but reminds me so much of my Physicians Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow Palette! It has a white, beige, pink and brown shade. They have that beautiful wet look and do not emphasize my texture.
Speaking as an accutane graduate, I have a LOT of advice. For dry skin, I found that Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion (scented or unscented) and the Body Shop Body Butters were the only thing that got the job done. And stay on top of it! I would get a rash if I missed a day or more of moisturizing. Also, for your face, I can't recommend Clinique Different Moisturizer enough. Everything else I tried made my face itch, because it was so dry. The biggest thing: stock up on Carmex. Your lips will be hella chapped, and other things like Chapstick will just sit on your lips and make things worse. Good luck! Even though the results weren't "permanent" for me, I did get a good 15 or 20 years out of the treatment. Now, even though my skin is pretty oily again, I rarely have breakouts, and just use Retin A (something that never worked in the past) to treat them.
I have super dry skin and I use Aveeno's lotion and body wash. I also recommend Cetaphil if you need a cleanser for dry skin. I use it on my arms and legs because I get really bad clogged follicles (from dryness) if I use anything. Might be worth a shot while you're on Accutane!
For body lotion for extra dry skin, I’ve been using Alpha Skincare Renewal Body Lotion with 12% Glycolic Acid. It’s so good! It beats everything else I’ve ever tried! And I’ve tried a TON of different lotions and cremes. I get it on Amazon for around $10 or so.
I absolutely swear by Cerave lotion (the original kind is by far my fave). It isn't sticky at all and it's got hyaluronic acid and ceramides. It is serious skincare!
aveeno is prescribed for eczema. i had it and it was great and then i got moved to centreban which you might like, its heavier than aveeno but doesnt clog your skin
I'm a massage therapist so I've tried out an insane amount of oils and lotions for my job plus I also have crazy dry skin. The most moisturizing lotion I've ever used is Biotone dual purpose massage cream you can find it on Amazon and I swear it works better than Aveeno. Definitely no stickiness.
i think the milk one. I remember she said that the peach was a little matte which means more to the drying side, so flaws simply like texture is gonna show up more. so i think it's the milk one
Choe Claire I don't agree- especially with the Too Faced foundation because I have dry and dehydrated skin and this foundation looks WONDERFUL on my skin. It's matte but it has a skin like/satin finish that doesn't show pores, texture or dryness. Taylor does have a lot of acne and dry patches so for someone like me who doesn't have a whole lot to cover it works beautifully.
ive got some pretty gnarly eczema and aveeno is one of the only lotions that actually works for me when i get flare ups i like the lavender chamomile scent tho 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I 💗the photo-whatever primer! It's not great for dry skin but it really does a good job with pores. It doesn't break me out or get funky in the pore--NYX pore filler sits in pores and causes me to break out...this Revlon one is so much better!
Try the *aveeno creamy moisturizing oil* .. it isn't an oil, it's a lotion consistency so it's lightweight but delivers moisture power of a heavy cream! Oh & It smells like loccitane almond shower oil. 💁 sold right?! Lol
PSA- oil cleansers are really meant to be used with double cleansing. Use oil cleanser first then a PH balancing water based cleanser. And we all know oil and water don't mix so what I do is i wipe off my oil cleanser with a sensitive baby wipe. The best oil cleanser is the Banila Co clean it zero.
Magdalena Cassidy Came here to say this as well! Definitely need to double cleanse with an oil cleanser. My favorites are the Kose Softy Mo Deep Treatment Oil cleanser and CosRX Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser or Hada Labo Gokyujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam 👌🏼
Actually, since there are emulsifiers in cleansing oils (at least I guess - mine has) you do not have to wipe them off... It DOES mix with the water. And double cleansing isn't all that great since stuff like cleansers ALWAYS irritates your skin. If you wear much foundation everyday then maybe you should do a double cleanse but for me (I only use concealer on certain areas) my oil cleanser is enough. Irritation is a big part in skincare and you should avoid it if you can, especially if you have acne. A little bit left over "dirt" on your face is not as big of an issue as the irritation from double cleansing. But of course, everyone should try for themselfes what works the best. For me, my oil cleanser is enough and my skin has gotten better in the last few month. :) So if double cleansing works for you - great! :)
Just so you know the dermalogica preclense balm is designed to use before your regular cleanser :) I can't tell you how many cleansing oils I've tried and I always just go back to the original formula- it's designed for all skin types where the balm is great for more dry skin.
I really hope you see this! So I'm a salon manager for Ulta and our skin therapists use dermalogica and the way precleanse balm works is you put in on your face then you add water to emulsify it and it rinses clean. Their regular precleanse works the same way as well. Hope this helps!
Have you tried the Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Makeup? It supposed to be for acne blemish control... I don't have full blowout blemishes like you but I do get a lot when is that time of the month, and I also get like oily skin throughout the day but like you i have my dry spots.
My faves are related to my skincare routine: CeraVe hydrating cleanser, Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream (contains fragrance but it is not irritating me) and Eucerin replenishing face cream for dry skin with 5% Eurea. I currently have mild rosacea and it seems to be helping a lot and isn't breaking me out.
Always love 🖤🎃🖤 your uploads. Especially those moments where you mention 'Get the travel size first' or 'This is great, but this other one works the same for half the price'. So many of TH-cam's beauty folk use phrases like "I feel like this pallet has the same shades we've seen on every other palette this season." That's not RELEVANT to a REAL person who isn't being sent each new product as it launches. Love that you've never forgotten a real woman's perspective of living on a budget, genuinely wanting to find the right product combination for her skin (and trying to not go bankrupt in the search).
A great body butter is C.Booth Egyptian argan oil. It works, it smells amazing, it's cruelty free, & only $7 @ rite aid for a big tub. Love this stuff for my dry skin.
Hey Taylor do you think you can review the brand serious skin care? They have a primer literally called "A Primer" and I think it's pretty good. Not sure what else they have but I haven't heard anyone mention it. I think it's one of those infomercial brands tbh but someone gave me the primer and I like it.
🎃🎃🎃🎃- I’m embarrassed to admit how long it took me to find that damn pumpkin. I just got the JH palette but I have played with it much! The colors are really pretty though! I’m excited to hear about your Accutane journey! Also, Clinique came out with a new concealer and if you haven’t you should try their Stay Matte foundation. I love it!!! Excited for foundation Friday!!!
The Smashbox contour palette is one of my favorites and I'm medium skin toned even at my palest. The coolest color is a great “natural” looking contour. Have you ever tried the DHC Olive Oil Cleanser? It emulsifies, washes your makeup away, and doesn’t leave a residue. Been using it for years.
CeraVe in the tub is an amazing lotion. Dermatologist recommended for my 4 year old for eczema and now the entire fam uses
My holy grail moisturizer for fall/winter in Washington is The Body Shop - Aloe Soothing Body Butter in the tub. I slather my arms, legs, feet (put socks on after), and hips before bed and let it soak in overnight. My skin drinks it up and I feel like the moisture lasts through the day.

SyrianDude yes! I like it better than Clinique and It Cosmetics balms. Gothamista is my YT skin care guru and she recommended.
Love Gothamista! She's so knowledgeable about skincare.
I've recently started using coconut oil and it works awesome!
be careful with coconut oil as it can be really comedogenic.

Ah thank you so much for watching for so long! That's awesome and I appreciate the support. 🖤🌯
The Clinique take the day off balm is an amazing oil cleanser! It takes off all your makeup and doesn't leave any residue on your skin, it actually makes your face feel moisturized. ❤️❤️
What are you wearing on your brow?! They on fleek girl! Also what’s your FAVORITE powder of ALL time?
If im correct she got her brows tattooed
Understandable. In my opinion the two powders I hear her mention frequently is the it cosmetics celebration foundation illumination and the Laura geller baked foundation powder I believe it's called.
The Neutragena Norwegian line is incredible for dryness. I worked for a dermatologist for 4 years and we recommended that and Cetaphil and Cerave for our accutane patients.

I'm obsessed with coconut, and I really love the Jergens lotion with coconut oil and water. It smells so good and it works amazingly. I even use it on my face.
I have used the laneige sleeping mask a definite repurchase. My favourites are shiseido bb cream. Cezanne primer. Avene soapless cleanser.

I've heard of corn huskers too. I'd only try udder balm on hands, feet, elbows, and nipples. Working hands also has products out for feet and lips. My hands were so dry, worse than ppl I know who've used Accutane, and this is what got me through winter.
I recently purchased the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate and I’m so in love! I have combination skin with a very oily t-zone. I apply it after my Herbivore Jasmine Green Tea Toner before bed and my skin feels amazing in the morning! 🤗💕🙌🏻
I so love the smell of the too faced priming spray also..and agree how it sets everything in place
I have SUPER dry skin and my holy grail product is the Palmers deep radiance body gel oil. I use that when I get out of the shower and in the morning my skin feels SO much softer.
Have you tried the Jergens wet skin moisturizer? It's the best! I never found a cream that would last. My skin is super silky now. Not the cocoa scent one the other. And CeraVe is great too.
YAS TRY THE WHITE BURBERRY HIGHLIGHTER IM WAITING FOR A REVIEW OF IT FOR SO LONGGGG
Accutane will change your skin type long term. I used to have oily skin but used accutane 20 years ago and it's remained ridiculously dry ever since.
I thought your shadow was from subculture so obviously there's no reason to make it work when there's other palettes out there that can give the same appearance. You look beautiful. I'm staring at my Laneige lip mask right now. Love it. Also, I'm all about that Loreal liquid lip life too.
You are my new favorite MUA. You have a no BS way with your videos. You supply so much variety! Also, on a more personal note, you have very light skin and acne, like I️ do. However, I️ believe I️ am more than 10 year’s older than you are, but I’m glad you mention more mature skin types in your videos. Thanks for your efforts and all your work :) BEST MUA EVER!
BABY LOTION IS THE BEST!!! I love the smell but some people don't! But definitely so moisturizing!!
Another hairspray you can try that will give a decent hold without being too crunchy is Aveda Air Control. It smells amazing too without being too strong, so you could wear perfume with it if you wanted to.
Finding that perfect contour shade is difficult! I found an awesome one for fair, cool toned ladies. Makeup Geek's contour powder "break up" (cool porcelain) is the best I've found! It blends out like nothing I've ever tried and it's not too ashy or orange on me. Perfection!
stacy echelberger the Kevin Aucoin one in light is so much better.
I bought the Milk foundation and I love it but was very confused on the undertone. I guess I don't know how to know that. I also bought your ELF blending brush and it helped sheer out the foundation so I love that. Thank you for your videos, I've bought a lot of things through them. You're awesome!
When you do acutane, I recommend the Lush lotions. Especially Dream Cream. Most lotions from the drug store are made with petroleum/mineral oil and won't do anything real. Lush is made with oils. Highly recommend!
I love the entire living proof line! I use their shampoo,conditioner,and dry shampoo. Their dry shampoo has been the best I have ever tried.
Sebastian ReShaper hairspray is my absolute favorite. I used to work at a salon and all of the stylists used it :)
I have ridiculously dry skin. Another affordable product you can try is the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Smoothing Body Butter with Shea. It comes in a tub. That stuff is the frikin bomb. I do the same thing you do, lather it all over my body after my shower at night and by morning it feels like I have new skin. The smell is light but absolutely amazing, I've literally been using it for years and I think you'd really love it. Awesome for people on accutane as well. I've recommended it to several of my friends.
Love these videos!!
Word of advice though: Anything that made you feel oily, keep them!! I’m on accutane &anything with oil has helped me tremendously.
Can’t wait for #foundationfriday 🙌🏼😻
I am on accutane and I have fallen in LOVE with the First Aid Beauty line. I get it at sephora. Fragrance free. Doesn't break me out. Moisturizing! But the ultra repair intensive lip balm will save your lips! And apparently Dr.Dan's cortibalm you can get on amazing. And I use the FAB cleaner and intensive repair lotion which you can use anywhere but also on your face without breaking you out! I also use just plain rose hip oil on my face which doesn't break me out and the Clinique sunscreen and my favorite setting powder is Laura mercier as it doesn't stick to dry spots, which you will have a lot of, and it is great for smoothing pores and I am also fair skinned so I love it! Good luck!!
Hey Taylor! Try taking the GlamGlow oil cleanser off by wiping over it with a warm, wet washcloth. If you just use water and try to rub, it leaves a film, but if you just massage it into your dry skin and then wipe it off with a wet washcloth, it wipes totally clean and doesn't leave and residue on the skin. I follow it with my actual face cleanser, but the Galacticleanse is my new go-to makeup remover.
I have oily, acne-prone skin too. I haven't used the Dermalogica PreCleanse balm but I currently use the regular PreCleanse version. I find that it works well at removing makeup. I follow it with a simple cleanser like CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. In the shower I use Noble Formula 2% Pyrithione Zinc Original Bar Soap (the nonvegan version) and it has seriously changed my life. That one really needs warm water to fully wash away, but my skin has never felt cleaner after using it. And it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry either. You can find it on Amazon.
I can't believe that it is October already. I just turned 35 and believe me, the older you get, the faster time flies by. 😫😢
Perfectly Posh has a range of really nice lotions, and they use natural ingedients instead of perfumes. I have one of their hand cremes, and it's amazing. Leaves the skin super soft and not greasy or sticky, and it smells fantastic. I believe they also have some hair care items too.
The best oil cleanser I have found is the Burt's Bee's oil cleanser. No residue, takes off every stitch of makeup. Sometimes, I forget to go in with my cleanser after I use it because my face is so fresh and clean after. I would definitely recommend it.
The Burberry highlighter looks so dreamy! I'm not usually drawn to their makeup but I might be tempted for that one. Love your videos x
A good oil cleanser or cleansing balm is the nooni deep snowflake cleanser. I use the one that isn’t labeled oil cleansing balm. The one that is labeled that has a jelly formula, where as the one that I use has a solid balm formula which melts easier. They both are the exact same product, it’s just a matter of preference. It’s a Korean oil based cleanser that’s fragrance free and great for sensitive skin. I have very oily skin and am very afraid to use new skincare products on my skin because I also have acne prone skin. After a couple of uses with this cleanser, I’ve never broken out. It’s literally awesome. You can find it at ulta for $17. Probably the best cleanser yet, but I would recommend any Korean oily cleansing balm because of its good ingredients. After every time I use this, I wipe it with a makeup wipe after and nothing ever appears on it. When you when it off with lukewarm water it turns into a milky consistency. So it’s a little easier to wash.Hope this helps!
You're amazing! You're the only vlogger I care to watch. I've gone through two rounds of accutane and still deal with acne so I love watching your videos and finding out products that have worked for you. Thank you for all you do! Xoxo
My hairspray hunt was unreal. Finally found the Chi volume hairspray in the purple can. It’s seriously magical. I can usually find it at TJ Maxx as well which is a bonus! Ulta carries it as well.
First aid beauty ultra repair cream is good for dry skin anywhere!
Another amazing hair spray is the Moroccan oil luminous hair spray strong finish. I would describe it the same way you described the living proof one except that there is no strong smell. I swear by it, it's the best.
I leave for my flight to Seattle in 6 hours but who needs sleep when Taylor uploads a video!! 😍💓
The DHC olive oil cleanser is BOMB. It melts your makeup off (I wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner), but it doesn't leave your skin oily at all. Also, an excellent body moisturizer that is pretty affordable is the Vanicream (sounds like something for the vagina - it's not, I swear.) It's what they suggest for people who have had stem cell transplants because your skin gets insanely dry.
I haven't tried that Ambient Light palette, but reminds me so much of my Physicians Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow Palette! It has a white, beige, pink and brown shade. They have that beautiful wet look and do not emphasize my texture.
Huda Beauty just came out with her line of foundations, maybe that could be a #foundationfriday
Please try the Huda Beauty foundation!!!! 🙏🏼
Oh girl I'm on it.
thataylaa awesome!
Speaking as an accutane graduate, I have a LOT of advice. For dry skin, I found that Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion (scented or unscented) and the Body Shop Body Butters were the only thing that got the job done. And stay on top of it! I would get a rash if I missed a day or more of moisturizing. Also, for your face, I can't recommend Clinique Different Moisturizer enough. Everything else I tried made my face itch, because it was so dry. The biggest thing: stock up on Carmex. Your lips will be hella chapped, and other things like Chapstick will just sit on your lips and make things worse. Good luck! Even though the results weren't "permanent" for me, I did get a good 15 or 20 years out of the treatment. Now, even though my skin is pretty oily again, I rarely have breakouts, and just use Retin A (something that never worked in the past) to treat them.
I have super dry skin and I use Aveeno's lotion and body wash. I also recommend Cetaphil if you need a cleanser for dry skin. I use it on my arms and legs because I get really bad clogged follicles (from dryness) if I use anything. Might be worth a shot while you're on Accutane!
For body lotion for extra dry skin,
I’ve been using Alpha Skincare Renewal Body Lotion with 12% Glycolic Acid. It’s so good! It beats everything else I’ve ever tried! And I’ve tried a TON of different lotions and cremes. I get it on Amazon for around $10 or so.
I absolutely swear by Cerave lotion (the original kind is by far my fave). It isn't sticky at all and it's got hyaluronic acid and ceramides. It is serious skincare!
I love drugstore Gold bond body lotion. Is works on my eczema and I don’t itch. It keeps my dry feet smooth too. You can find at target as well.
aveeno is prescribed for eczema. i had it and it was great and then i got moved to centreban which you might like, its heavier than aveeno but doesnt clog your skin
I'm a massage therapist so I've tried out an insane amount of oils and lotions for my job plus I also have crazy dry skin. The most moisturizing lotion I've ever used is Biotone dual purpose massage cream you can find it on Amazon and I swear it works better than Aveeno. Definitely no stickiness.
Living proof timeless shampoo and conditioner is also amazing.
Do you prefer the peach perfect foundation or the milk one? Which do you think was more smoothing?
Jules Harding I want to know the same thing!! I don't know which to buy?!! 😣
I remember her saying she liked the milk foundation slightly more for smoothing and blurring
i think the milk one. I remember she said that the peach was a little matte which means more to the drying side, so flaws simply like texture is gonna show up more. so i think it's the milk one
Choe Claire
I don't agree- especially with the Too Faced foundation because I have dry and dehydrated skin and this foundation looks WONDERFUL on my skin. It's matte but it has a skin like/satin finish that doesn't show pores, texture or dryness. Taylor does have a lot of acne and dry patches so for someone like me who doesn't have a whole lot to cover it works beautifully.
Shade might play a pretty big part in it given Milk's shade range is a lot better. 🤷♀️
ive got some pretty gnarly eczema and aveeno is one of the only lotions that actually works for me when i get flare ups
i like the lavender chamomile scent tho
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Kali Clark have you ever tried something called glaxal base? It's the only lotion that helps my son's really bad eczema
Christin Thiessen ive never heard of it, is it a lotion or like a prescription cream or something?
Baby aveeno with the light blue cap is heaven!
If you like charcoal in face products, derma e has a moisturizer with charcoal in it. It helps with acne and I think jet.com or iherb sells it.
I 💗the photo-whatever primer! It's not great for dry skin but it really does a good job with pores. It doesn't break me out or get funky in the pore--NYX pore filler sits in pores and causes me to break out...this Revlon one is so much better!
Try the *aveeno creamy moisturizing oil* .. it isn't an oil, it's a lotion consistency so it's lightweight but delivers moisture power of a heavy cream! Oh & It smells like loccitane almond shower oil. 💁 sold right?! Lol
Jergens coco butter & soap & glory righteouss body butter are great for dry skin! The Josie Maron body butters are good too!
The body shop shea butter is AMAZING as a body moisturizer. I am VERY dry and use it every day.
PSA- oil cleansers are really meant to be used with double cleansing. Use oil cleanser first then a PH balancing water based cleanser. And we all know oil and water don't mix so what I do is i wipe off my oil cleanser with a sensitive baby wipe. The best oil cleanser is the Banila Co clean it zero.
Magdalena Cassidy Came here to say this as well! Definitely need to double cleanse with an oil cleanser. My favorites are the Kose Softy Mo Deep Treatment Oil cleanser and CosRX Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser or Hada Labo Gokyujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam 👌🏼
I was going to say this too lol I feel like a lot of people don't realize you still need to cleanse after using a balm or oil.
Yeah I tought that too like "but.." Double cleabsing is the best my skin changed so much since I do that!
Actually, since there are emulsifiers in cleansing oils (at least I guess - mine has) you do not have to wipe them off... It DOES mix with the water. And double cleansing isn't all that great since stuff like cleansers ALWAYS irritates your skin. If you wear much foundation everyday then maybe you should do a double cleanse but for me (I only use concealer on certain areas) my oil cleanser is enough.
Irritation is a big part in skincare and you should avoid it if you can, especially if you have acne. A little bit left over "dirt" on your face is not as big of an issue as the irritation from double cleansing.
But of course, everyone should try for themselfes what works the best. For me, my oil cleanser is enough and my skin has gotten better in the last few month. :) So if double cleansing works for you - great! :)
YESSS COSRX
I'd be hella into a review on the too faced peach matte setting spray 🎃🎃 ALSO HOW DO YOU SPOT CONCEAL
CeraVe is also an amazing moisturizer, for face and body! My dermatologist recommended it to me and I haven't switched in years
Yay for Aveeno! I used the one with the green cap during my entire accutane course and still use it to this day!
Just so you know the dermalogica preclense balm is designed to use before your regular cleanser :) I can't tell you how many cleansing oils I've tried and I always just go back to the original formula- it's designed for all skin types where the balm is great for more dry skin.
I really hope you see this! So I'm a salon manager for Ulta and our skin therapists use dermalogica and the way precleanse balm works is you put in on your face then you add water to emulsify it and it rinses clean. Their regular precleanse works the same way as well. Hope this helps!
One of the best TH-cam channels! Always super reliable and enjoyable ☺️ OG viewer
Have you tried the Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Makeup? It supposed to be for acne blemish control... I don't have full blowout blemishes like you but I do get a lot when is that time of the month, and I also get like oily skin throughout the day but like you i have my dry spots.
Raves and rejects are always my favorite!!!! 🖤🍁🍂🍃🖤🍃🍂🍁🖤
🎃 ditched a different makeup video for this🎃 not looking back🎃
haley street me too😁👍
Saaaame
By the way taylor-just finished the video- Hempz lotion is the only lotion i’ve tried that actually deeply moisturizes my skin!
I agree (was trying to keep it secret). A lot of good ingredients in it also.
Try banila co cleansing balm, i use the one for sensitive skin and it takes any stubborn long wearing make up off! try it :)
I love the Sephora oil cleanser. It’s so good at taking off makeup. Any residue comes off with my regular face cleanser.
That Laneige lip mask... is bomb ! They have a collection with different scent
The white Burberry highlighter is a little glittery but the lighter goldish one is absolutely gorgeous! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
My faves are related to my skincare routine: CeraVe hydrating cleanser, Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream (contains fragrance but it is not irritating me) and Eucerin replenishing face cream for dry skin with 5% Eurea. I currently have mild rosacea and it seems to be helping a lot and isn't breaking me out.
Always love 🖤🎃🖤 your uploads. Especially those moments where you mention 'Get the travel size first' or 'This is great, but this other one works the same for half the price'. So many of TH-cam's beauty folk use phrases like "I feel like this pallet has the same shades we've seen on every other palette this season." That's not RELEVANT to a REAL person who isn't being sent each new product as it launches. Love that you've never forgotten a real woman's perspective of living on a budget, genuinely wanting to find the right product combination for her skin (and trying to not go bankrupt in the search).
A great body butter is C.Booth Egyptian argan oil. It works, it smells amazing, it's cruelty free, & only $7 @ rite aid for a big tub. Love this stuff for my dry skin.
Hey Taylor do you think you can review the brand serious skin care? They have a primer literally called "A Primer" and I think it's pretty good. Not sure what else they have but I haven't heard anyone mention it. I think it's one of those infomercial brands tbh but someone gave me the primer and I like it.
🎃🎃🎃🎃- I’m embarrassed to admit how long it took me to find that damn pumpkin. I just got the JH palette but I have played with it much! The colors are really pretty though! I’m excited to hear about your Accutane journey! Also, Clinique came out with a new concealer and if you haven’t you should try their Stay Matte foundation. I love it!!! Excited for foundation Friday!!!
The Smashbox contour palette is one of my favorites and I'm medium skin toned even at my palest. The coolest color is a great “natural” looking contour. Have you ever tried the DHC Olive Oil Cleanser? It emulsifies, washes your makeup away, and doesn’t leave a residue. Been using it for years.
The DHC oil cleanser is the BEST. I've never found anything that works as well.
