Two updates for you all! - The One Size Setting Mist definitely works- but I would not use it all the time as it is like straight alcohol 😅 - Unfortunately i couldn't get this uploaded in time, and the spring haul at ulta ended- I'm sorry about that! What video are you all most excited to see upcoming?? ;)
hello, sorry to bother you, please i was wondering if the nyx bronzer works for your skin tone and which colour did you use? i was planning to gift it to my bf and i have a had time finding a good shade, thank you!
I am from Turkey and as a mediterranean country, mustache removal is very common in here. there are 3 options we prefer the most: waxing, threading and laser hair removal. I don't recommend waxing because it can cause more breakouts. Most sensitive skin friendly way is threading, if you find a saloon that does that I'd say try it once. Laser hair removal is the safest way. But you must find a laser machine (and saloon) that suitable for your hair color. Laser epilation does not make your mustache go away for good but the hair starts to grow after 2 weeks and very slowly. Once a month of laser is more than enough.
Threading takes a while/some practice to do properly on your own, but once you get the hang of it, it's a game changer (cheap, gentle to sensitive skin and fast)!
Omg cant believe that another person from Turkey is watching Amanda. ❤ I shave my peach fuzz and mustache to be honest, I havent experienced an increase on the hairs on my face, however, compared to waxing or threading, they grow a lot faster. I plan to laser em all down. I bought foreo peach 2 and hope I will get rid of them all. The reason I shave is because it is one of the most safest way for my skin (as long as I am careful with it), as I know from the Asian culture it helps with ageing too and I feel like the skincare is infused on the skin better and makeup looks better. But it is not necessity, this depends on the preference. We should not be ashamed of our hairs, we’re made this way. I was bullied in high school because I had mustache, it was traumatic experience :( In Turkey, it’s a huge red flag for most people, not only for men but also for women, unfortunately..
I used to breakout after shaves as well. I love those flawless touch shavers and I always go in with a hypochlorous acid spray immediately after. The spray probably made the biggest difference for me.
You won!! I was just about comment this but you beat me to it! I use a generic one from Amazon instead of the viral Tower 28 SOS spray because it’s literally the same thing and half the price. 🎉🎉 It works so well!
It’s the same for me. I used to get so many breakouts from dermaplaining but once I got a good tool from tweezerman instead of the cheap plastic ones, and especially using hypochlorous acid, my skin has been really good. It’s helped with my cystic acne as well. I got one from a pharmacy in Sweden that is quite affordable so buying the tower 28 one is not necessary if you can get one cheaper 😊
I am 54 years old and went through menopause in my late 30s for some unknown reason. Needless to say, it put me in the position of dealing with menopause-related facial hair a bit early. My skin is extremely sensitive and waxing gave me horrible red bumps all over my face. Derma-planing tools were even worse. But you know what works for me just fine? A regular old razor, like you would use to shave your legs. My absolute favorite is the Schick Hydro Silk Sensitive. I run it over my face every single day at the end of my morning cleanse, while I still have some cleanser on my skin, and I don’t have one single bit of irritation. I don’t NEED to do it every day, but I have come to really enjoy having ultra-smooth skin for make-up application. Honestly, it does not irritate my skin in the slightest.
omg you may have just solved a mystery for me! I went from regular razors to derma planning ones and started getting bumps! I NEVER breakout except for the occasional period acne so I was so shocked. I never thought it'd be this though cause...they're both razors...back to good old razors I guess lol
Re hair removal I bought a Phillips IPL device 8 years ago and have never regret it. I only use on my face. It doesn’t harm my skin or cause a reaction. I use mine maybe once a week, it takes a couple of mins and done. When you press the button you get a pulse of heat. Hurts far less than plucking.. Iim in the UK and this cost me £250 so maybe $350 US. Never regretted buying it xxx
I always used the little razor brows, and just used a new one every time i did my mustache ( i did my whole face actually), rubbed alcohol on the razor everytime and went in with a clean face, and spritz thermal water and some gel to not use the razor on dry skin and that helped a lot, washed my face right after finishing, but still got ocasional bumps, what truly changed my life was laser hair removal, i truly can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner, i wish i did it like 10 years sooner
we don’t generally use razors on the face where im from, so ive been waxing my mustache for yeeeears and when it’s done i always apply baby rash cream like bephanten to prevent any breakouts, since my face is on the sensitive side. if you don’t want to wax id recommend either tweezers/threading (ouch) or a hair removal cream. bleaching would also make the hairs less noticeable
I had similar issue with shaving my upper lip area. I switched to sugaring which is way way less irritating than shaving. But ultimately I decided to do laser hair removal and it was a game changer for me. I barely get any hair there now, practically none. I go for a touch up every year but it’s sooo worth the money for me.
When I was younger whether I waxed or shaved bikini area, armpits & face I would break out & get ingrown hairs without fail…my family doctor prescribed me a clindamyacin cream that I would apply for 2-3 days after shaving & it helped me so much! Good luck, I know how frustrating it can be🙏🏼
Amanda the breakouts on the upper lip has happened to me a couple times after shaving so I stopped doing it. I dont have much up there so it’s fine if I don’t but I think it’s basically breakouts at the hair follicle. I have not tried this but possibly making sure to use a chemical exfoliant daily or at least regularly to prevent it could help. But I think that some of it could be from irritation at the hair follicle. I could never shave my bikini line because I would get a breakout at literally every follicle. I got laser there, my underarms and my legs many years ago. I’m not a super hairy person, but it worked magnificently! Highly recommend.
Facial razors, flawless finish, threading for face. Can you compare the RMS blushes to the Revlon skinlights? They look SO similar to me. The most underrated bronzer.
I like to shave my face fuzz and my skin gets really irritated. But I found a new method that has worked wonders! I apply a face oil to shave! After, I put on the most calm hydrating face mask and that's it. The next day, I use minimal skincare, all very gentle and no actives. Has helped so much!
Something about exfoliating before removing any hair on my face has a huge impact on whether I have any issues with break outs, almost totally eliminating them even the type that would appear a few days later. I use the tatcha gentle rice scrub, but that is just what works for my finicky skin. Second the advice of another lady to use a regular old razor the old school way. Maybe neither of these tips are revolutionary, but it's all but fixed the issue for me. I hope you find what works!
I shave my face maybe once a month with the revlon facial razors. Most videos people do it dry, but I actually do it in the shower. I wash my face first with my cerave cleanser, then I lather on my panoxl 10% BP cleanser as a “shaving gel”, then I shave. And for the next two days, minimal skincare actives BUT I do use a thin layer of BP 5% from Paula’s choice. I really think the BP helps with not breaking out due to shaving the face. I hope you find something that helps
I don't break out from shaving my face but my skin can get super irritated. I've found that applying a thin layer of an emulsion mixed with an oil before shaving (I love the Tinkle razors from Amazon) really helps. And afterwards, I use a couple of layers of the I'm From Mugwort Essence and the Banobagi Milk Thistle Sheet Mask and my skin barely gets irritated at all. I hope this is helpful 🖤
Amanda love your channel!!! I am experiencing issues with sensitive skin and eczema on my face. I know you would be the perfect person to help me out with finding good products. I trust your opinion and would be so happy for your input. Thank you !!!
Yes, i remember and used the bain de soleil orange gelee in my teens and can't wait to buy the Vacation one...cool story how they developed bringing it back.
Having very sensitive skin( perioral dermatitis) I use a regular one or two blade razor with no conditioning strip and only use a cera ve cream cleanser as shaving cream. Than I immediately wash and use a calming toner. Works great for me
I think it was Ban du Soliel that was the orange gel in like a metal tube from the 80’s! It smelled incredible and felt very fancy whenever I used it! 🤣
When I was younger I had the same problem with my mustache. Couldn’t shave or wax. My solution was to get little mustache scissors and I’d trim the hair as close to the skin as possible while looking in the magnifying mirror. It worked really well but you have to do it more often. Good luck.
Electrolysis is your best bet for light coloured peach fuzz. Laser works best with dark hair against lighter skin. Laser technology has evolved, and some claim to be effective for dark hair and skin, but I wouldn’t say it’s effective on the same level. Electrolysis works for any skin tone, any hair colour.
I just use an epilator for my mustache. I had a facial one but I can’t find it, so I just use my body one. There’s also Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover, which is easy. I would recommend cleaning blades with alcohol wipes and using something similar on your skin but much more gentle ❤
I use the Schlick hydro silk dermaplaner! It comes with a ton of refills and lasts forever. I always use diluted hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab afterward. No breakouts anymore!
Thanks Amanda for all your amazing reviews. To do my upper lip I go to a salon and get it threaded. I find that to be the most gentle to my skin and long term it also reduces the chances to get lip wrinkles. I do my eyebrows like that too! Best way for sure
i've tried razors and dermaplaning on the face and they break me out horribly! i swear by sally hansen facial hair bleach, i naturally have dark brown hair and it is the only thing i will use to lessen the appearance of a mustache. i've been using this product for almost 15 years because when i was a kid my friends used to bully me for the dark peach fuzz around my lip!😂
Excited for the red blush video!!! I am a naturale red head (more white than red these days 😄) I have used RMS beloved for years as a lipstick and for blush one of my favourites is Flip from Milk
Omg I cannot wait for the red blush video!! The effort you have put into it from what it sounds like, tells me it's gonna be a banger. I am so excited for you other upcoming videos as well! Re: the face shaving breakouts, I typically on a clean face use a dermaplaning wand. Only go over an area 3 or less times to avoid knicks. After, I use centella/madecassoside serum or the murad colloidal oatmeal moisturizer. I have not noticed getting breakouts before.
I don't break out from eyebrow/mustache shaving but it does irritate me badly, so i just use tiny scissors to trim the areas. it's not the most seamless, but it works really well for me!
I LOVE Tanologist. SelfTan always dries me out so I use the tanologist extra dark drops mixed into moisturizer and it packs a punch so evenly! I like it better than Loving tan, St. Tropez etc I’ve tried them ALL over the past 10+ years. Thank you Amanda! ❤
I’ve been using Fūr products for years. They’re so great, I’ve loved everything I’ve tried. I can especially recommend the ingrown hair oil with the little exfoliating mitt. They smell wonderful and they do what they say!
To save you energy... just laser it off, I thread mine and that worked well for me, shaving just caused problems. I have sensitive skin too but it never left me sore or red or anything like that. I only had 3 sessions so it grew back but the hair was softer. Definitely going to do it again this summer
I tend to breakout where I shave as well. I have now found a routine that works for me. First of all, don’t use acids or actives the night before. Then in the morning, shave using a very bland and gentle cleanser (I like the CeraVe hydrating one) and then only apply a simple moisturizer. No serum, no actives, nothing. At night I do a normal skincare routine without actives, and then the next morning I do my normal routine again and don’t apply makeup. But basically, if I use a lot of products and/or makeup right after shaving, that will break me out.
That sounds like sound advice, as shaving in itself, given the blades are sanitized, should not directly create breakouts but it would make the skin more sensitive. Also, I believe many of the products which otherwise “behave” could be the culprit on sensitized skin. For instance, the vitamin enriched cream is not something I would personally allow to come anywhere near my face and I do not have sensitive skin. We are all different, so maybe see an MD?
I have the soft red Gucci blush and it’s so flattering! I’ve had the same issue as you with any sort of facial hair removal. I use one of those v shaped springs with handles that you turn that work similar to threading. The key for me has been to avoid any oils in the area for a day or two.
my absolute favourite tanning product for the body and the face (I have very sensitive skin, it never broke me out, I even felt soft and hydrated afterwards) is the Avene tanning gel, would love to see you trying it and hear what you think, much love
I have combination sensative skin and use the Garnier Self tanning drops, super light, if you use it everyday its quite buildable. Give it a try if you have it!
That flawless shaver is what I used for years. It still causes breakouts but not as much as other razors. I got the Ulike and within a few weeks it’s completely gone. I did my daughters too. Love it and am super happy to not look like Tom Selleck anymore 😂 eta our skin is very happy. After a week or two we didn’t have to shave to use it.
I use the Tinkle face Razor from Amazon for my lip and face hairs. I never break out using it. I wash my face then use it before I use my skin care products. I do it every Sunday.
Ugh! I have the same issues with my moustache, I could relate! The only way i avoid breakouts and hair is: I use tweezers on those darker thicker hair (I do this every night, it’s quick and part of my routine at this point lol), and once in a while I use nail scissors (clean ofc) and clean it up. About laser hair removal on moustache, my esthetician recommended I avoided it, due to my sensitive skin. Keep in mind I’m extremely fair and have dark hair, besides few thicker hair, my moustache is pretty thin and the laser wouldn’t be able to get them all anyways! If it’s any worth, I’ve told my esthetician how I get rid of my moustache and she was very impressed, said she couldn’t see any!!
Your videos are my favourite, I'm really excited about the upcoming blush video!!! Regarding the moustache situation; I have been shaving my whole face for a while and have experienced similar issues. What I figured out is using a gentle cleanser before really helps, as well as a hypochlorous acid spray (like the tower28 sos one) afterwards. I recently also discovered the aveeno pha cleanser to be great for after shaving, which was recommended by Dr Dray xx
I am so stoked about all the videos that are coming!! I bought the Isle of Paradise and its super pigmented! So i mix it with a clear serum to thin and sheer it out. I can't wait to see the red blush video!!!
Great video-so enjoy your content! As to the mustache quandary, 😅 I’ve had similar issues and this is what has helped: Hypochlorous spray on the area before and after, and Cortizone 10 Extra Moisture after and maybe even that night and next morning. The regular Cortizone does nothing for me but for whatever reason, this specific version helps. I also drench whatever instrument I’m using with alcohol. 2 last tips: it’s best to leave the shaved area alone for a while so wait to apply makeup and keep skincare actives off of the area. LaRoche Posay mist also really soothes the area. Hope this helps!
Re facial hair removal - I did not find a salon to order threading where I live: however I found the place that offers sugaring and it works very well for me ( except when I did it the very first time)
I wax but can only use real beeswax, I use witch hazel & blue tansy oil afterwards to soothe and prevent breakouts and redness. Those definitely help!!
Can’t wait for all of the videos you teased, but especially the bronzing drops one! I would love to know which ones you think would work best for olive undertones.
I used to break out after shaving especially after wearing makeup but ever since I started to use PanOxyl (affordable acne treatment at target) in the areas I shaved, I haven’t had that problem. Prep, shave, then use panoxyl, wash it off & you’re set. Hopefully this works for you too.
If you have the w7 brand where you live they have a really inexpensive bronzing drops option, I have seen people recommending them, would be curious for you to try it and tell us your opinion 😊
Fun video, Amanda! I bought the Saie concealer when it first launched and haven't stopped using it since! I'm also choosy about concealers and have tried sooo many - until the Saie, I was totally happy with my Tower 28 one. Have to admit, my Tower 28 hasn't been touched since I purchased Saie! Anyway, really looking forward to the upcoming vids - thanks for the previews!
I remember the orange gelee Bain de Soleil from the 80s and would be interested if you do a review of the updated one. I still remember the jelly like texture and orange tint of it. I'm also looking forward the the red blush reviews. I've never really used red blush and would like to learn how to wear it.
I am SO pumped about the red blush video! I am currently trying to find one red blush I could invest in and use to liven up a neutral look, so the timing is ✨impeccable✨
I’m sooooo excited for the red blush video! Love the effort and love you put into your videos 🤞🏼 you’re also my main inspiration for wearing more shimmery eye shadow lately :D
Amanda you can sugar off the moustache. I suggest doing this before you wash your face off for the day so the oils and leftover makeup works as a barrier and you don’t rip off skin. You can apply baby powder prior to waxing to absorb excess oil.
So stoked you're testing out the TIR TIR Cushion, we have very similar skin types and preferences! My samples I ordered from Yesstyle are coming in tomorrow :D
I used to shave my whole face and I would get terrible breakouts, but I did not correlate that the pimples were due to the shaving until I went to see a dermatologist. She explained that the hair follicules were becoming inflamed and infected from the shaving (it’s called folliculitis), so she prescribed Clindoxyl Gel and a sulfur mask from Revoderm. I also stopped shaving and instead, used the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover and it has resolved the problem! Hope this helps!
GIRL!! SALTYFACE tanning water for face. It’s a Canadian brand but it’s fragrance free and has not caused ANY breakouts for me. I think we have similar skin types / concerns. I hope you see this because I LOVE it. It’s so mild too.
I shaved and sent my skin into a total tailspin. I never breakout, and my whole face was covered with a rash and whiteheads. I think I trashed my skin my skin barrier. I stopped all acids and used cortisone cream, snail mucin, Eucerin eczema night cream all over my face. It cleared up, but I can’t use acids or exfoliants because it comes right back.
I use one of those deep exfoliating mitts meant for the full body. I softly rub my face 1-2 days before I plan to shave. Then I pair with a chemical exfoliant after the gentle buff. The day I shave, I use moisturizer only bc then my skin will burn off if I use any exfoliating product after that! Works like a charm! Basically - do all the exfoliating leading up to the shave and then moisturizer!! I tried laser hair removal and had to stop due to blistering burns 😭. My skin is so sensitive…. And hairy 🙃
i used to get so many irritation breakouts after shaving & this is the routine that has worked really well for me. - i use the regular colorful eyebrow razors. i get a 60 pack on amazon for like $15 and use each maybe twice before tossing. - some sort of face oil all over to give my skin some glide - after i’m done i rinse my face thoroughly with just water - use an ice roller over everywhere i’ve shaved to calm down the skin - lots of hypochlorus acid spray! i usually wait like 10-15 min before washing my face and going in with my normal skincare (avoiding actives) but will spray my face liberally with the hypochlorus acid to help mitigate any irritation
Sigh, I just plucked the hairs above my lip and I'm breaking out the following day! Gaaahhh! I'm going to have to resort to laser, too. It's driving me crazy because I can't shave or wax, so plucking it is. 😢🥴😣 Honestly, regarding the red blush video, even if the viewership numbers aren't high right away, it's so rare to see a good red blush (or used to be) and even more rare to see a red blush reviews video! ❤ So, I think in the long run, as more and more people discover red blush, the video will be a big help to people who are interested. I think many of us are scared because it can be clownish but I am DEFINITELY getting one blush from your future video. Can't wait to watch and see what you include and what your opinions are at the end! 😄❣️
I have the very same issue removing my moustache removal! I do threading and it works for me, doesn’t break me out at all. It just hurts an unreasonable amount 🤣
I used to get my lip waxed but after the pandemic I know I had to find some other way. Since im sensitive as well I started using the Flawless Touch facial hair remover tool I got for like $20 at target!
Laser hair removal is THE BEST EVER. I had it all over my body and it is 100% worth it. Wax is the worst. Laser hair removal works great on light skin and dark hair (like yours) so you’ll have the best results!
I’d go the route of laser hair removal. I can’t say if it would break you out initially but it is the only real solution for ingrown hairs and breakouts. Otherwise you could try cleansing your skin with hibiclens before you shave, put on a thick layer of cushiony oil, shave downwards, and then cleanse as usual. I do find I break out if I follow dermaplaning with an active or if my skin is pretty irritated already. You could also try using a post shave product post cleanse like tendskin, which is a cleansing and soothing product.
Highly recommend laser hair removal! I have the most sensitive skin, and it has been lifechanging. The technology is really great, and if you go to a good salon they will start with a low power level and make sure your skin reacts well. I cannot overstate how amazing laser hair removal has been. I have slowly saved up and done my legs and underarms, too. So worth it! I still shave the peach fuzz on my face, and it is all about skin prep and aftercare. I wash my face and use tower 28 SOS before. I also use SOS afterwards, and let that sit so my skin can relax for a bit. Then I use an acid toner and moisturizer.
Ahh…the dreaded female mustache. Girl, I feel you on this, I turned 50 years old this year and I feel like I have tried almost every cheap to costly option on my unsightly “man stash”.🥸 In the end what works best for me is to simply keep a high-quality razor in the shower, and every time I have my regular evening shower, I take 15-20 seconds to shave. No, I have never cut myself and after almost a decade, it’s just part of my regular routine. Your shaving lotion is your facial wash and make up application is seamless. A friend of mine prefers to do her shave first thing in the morning just before her skin care so she keeps her razor with her toothbrush and simply does it every morning. Simple, cost effective and an oh so beautiful result:) Hugs from Ohio❤️
Someone else mentioned it but I’m gonna say it again, just a regular ol’ razor works best. If you’re extra sensitive use a fragrance free shave cream, I like the aveeno one, and a disposable single blade razor. I have really sensitive skin and this works for me 💖
I use the Tinkle razors from Amazon to shave my entire face! My skin is sensitive/acne prone and I’ve been using them for 5+ years. Hope this helps! They’re also VERY affordable (I think like $7 for a twelve pack)
Two updates for you all!

About the shaving: have you tried using a hydra chlrorous acid spray like the Tower 28 right after shaving?
Can’t wait for the RED BLUSH video!!!
I cannot tell you how excited I’m for the Red Blush video❤! Got into red blush two years ago, and it’s one of the go-to shades now.
I always used the little razor brows, and just used a new one every time i did my mustache ( i did my whole face actually), rubbed alcohol on the razor everytime and went in with a clean face, and spritz thermal water and some gel to not use the razor on dry skin and that helped a lot, washed my face right after finishing, but still got ocasional bumps, what truly changed my life was laser hair removal, i truly can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner, i wish i did it like 10 years sooner

I like to shave my face fuzz and my skin gets really irritated. But I found a new method that has worked wonders! I apply a face oil to shave! After, I put on the most calm hydrating face mask and that's it. The next day, I use minimal skincare, all very gentle and no actives. Has helped so much!
Something about exfoliating before removing any hair on my face has a huge impact on whether I have any issues with break outs, almost totally eliminating them even the type that would appear a few days later. I use the tatcha gentle rice scrub, but that is just what works for my finicky skin. Second the advice of another lady to use a regular old razor the old school way. Maybe neither of these tips are revolutionary, but it's all but fixed the issue for me. I hope you find what works!
I shave my face maybe once a month with the revlon facial razors. Most videos people do it dry, but I actually do it in the shower. I wash my face first with my cerave cleanser, then I lather on my panoxl 10% BP cleanser as a “shaving gel”, then I shave. And for the next two days, minimal skincare actives BUT I do use a thin layer of BP 5% from Paula’s choice. I really think the BP helps with not breaking out due to shaving the face. I hope you find something that helps
Bain de soleil gelee from back in the day....I used it in high school mid 80s!!
I don't break out from shaving my face but my skin can get super irritated. I've found that applying a thin layer of an emulsion mixed with an oil before shaving (I love the Tinkle razors from Amazon) really helps. And afterwards, I use a couple of layers of the I'm From Mugwort Essence and the Banobagi Milk Thistle Sheet Mask and my skin barely gets irritated at all. I hope this is helpful 🖤
You should try the Typology tanning drops, they're fragrance free and haven't broken me out yet!
Amanda love your channel!!! I am experiencing issues with sensitive skin and eczema on my face. I know you would be the perfect person to help me out with finding good products. I trust your opinion and would be so happy for your input. Thank you !!!
Has the same issue with all forms of hair removal. Laser hair removal saved my skin!
Yes, i remember and used the bain de soleil orange gelee in my teens and can't wait to buy the Vacation one...cool story how they developed bringing it back.
Having very sensitive skin( perioral dermatitis) I use a regular one or two blade razor with no conditioning strip and only use a cera ve cream cleanser as shaving cream. Than I immediately wash and use a calming toner. Works great for me
I think it was Ban du Soliel that was the orange gel in like a metal tube from the 80’s! It smelled incredible and felt very fancy whenever I used it! 🤣
When I was younger I had the same problem with my mustache. Couldn’t shave or wax. My solution was to get little mustache scissors and I’d trim the hair as close to the skin as possible while looking in the magnifying mirror. It worked really well but you have to do it more often. Good luck.
Electrolysis is your best bet for light coloured peach fuzz. Laser works best with dark hair against lighter skin. Laser technology has evolved, and some claim to be effective for dark hair and skin, but I wouldn’t say it’s effective on the same level. Electrolysis works for any skin tone, any hair colour.
I just use an epilator for my mustache. I had a facial one but I can’t find it, so I just use my body one. There’s also Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover, which is easy. I would recommend cleaning blades with alcohol wipes and using something similar on your skin but much more gentle ❤
Amanda, have you tried removing your hair with tweezers, it works for me and my skin is very sensitive. A hug 🥰
My teenage daughter uses the Flawless Finishing shaver and it works great, no breakouts.
Do you have any recommendations for pearlescent/opalescent highlighters?
I use the Schlick hydro silk dermaplaner! It comes with a ton of refills and lasts forever. I always use diluted hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab afterward. No breakouts anymore!
Thanks Amanda for all your amazing reviews.
To do my upper lip I go to a salon and get it threaded. I find that to be the most gentle to my skin and long term it also reduces the chances to get lip wrinkles. I do my eyebrows like that too! Best way for sure
i've tried razors and dermaplaning on the face and they break me out horribly! i swear by sally hansen facial hair bleach, i naturally have dark brown hair and it is the only thing i will use to lessen the appearance of a mustache. i've been using this product for almost 15 years because when i was a kid my friends used to bully me for the dark peach fuzz around my lip!😂
Excited for the red blush video!!! I am a naturale red head (more white than red these days 😄) I have used RMS beloved for years as a lipstick and for blush one of my favourites is Flip from Milk
Omg I cannot wait for the red blush video!! The effort you have put into it from what it sounds like, tells me it's gonna be a banger. I am so excited for you other upcoming videos as well! Re: the face shaving breakouts, I typically on a clean face use a dermaplaning wand. Only go over an area 3 or less times to avoid knicks. After, I use centella/madecassoside serum or the murad colloidal oatmeal moisturizer. I have not noticed getting breakouts before.
I also have super sensitive skin and suspending the use of all actives a few days before threading/shaving has helped so much!
I don't break out from eyebrow/mustache shaving but it does irritate me badly, so i just use tiny scissors to trim the areas. it's not the most seamless, but it works really well for me!
I LOVE Tanologist. SelfTan always dries me out so I use the tanologist extra dark drops mixed into moisturizer and it packs a punch so evenly! I like it better than Loving tan, St. Tropez etc I’ve tried them ALL over the past 10+ years.
Thank you Amanda! ❤
OMG I remember using those orange tanning gels with my mom!!! I’ve never been able to find anything like it, thank you for sharing!!!
I’ve been using Fūr products for years. They’re so great, I’ve loved everything I’ve tried.
I can especially recommend the ingrown hair oil with the little exfoliating mitt. They smell wonderful and they do what they say!
To save you energy... just laser it off, I thread mine and that worked well for me, shaving just caused problems. I have sensitive skin too but it never left me sore or red or anything like that. I only had 3 sessions so it grew back but the hair was softer. Definitely going to do it again this summer
I tend to breakout where I shave as well. I have now found a routine that works for me. First of all, don’t use acids or actives the night before. Then in the morning, shave using a very bland and gentle cleanser (I like the CeraVe hydrating one) and then only apply a simple moisturizer. No serum, no actives, nothing. At night I do a normal skincare routine without actives, and then the next morning I do my normal routine again and don’t apply makeup. But basically, if I use a lot of products and/or makeup right after shaving, that will break me out.
That sounds like sound advice, as shaving in itself, given the blades are sanitized, should not directly create breakouts but it would make the skin more sensitive. Also, I believe many of the products which otherwise “behave” could be the culprit on sensitized skin. For instance, the vitamin enriched cream is not something I would personally allow to come anywhere near my face and I do not have sensitive skin.
We are all different, so maybe see an MD?
I have the soft red Gucci blush and it’s so flattering! I’ve had the same issue as you with any sort of facial hair removal. I use one of those v shaped springs with handles that you turn that work similar to threading. The key for me has been to avoid any oils in the area for a day or two.
my absolute favourite tanning product for the body and the face (I have very sensitive skin, it never broke me out, I even felt soft and hydrated afterwards) is the Avene tanning gel, would love to see you trying it and hear what you think, much love
I have combination sensative skin and use the Garnier Self tanning drops, super light, if you use it everyday its quite buildable. Give it a try if you have it!
That flawless shaver is what I used for years. It still causes breakouts but not as much as other razors. I got the Ulike and within a few weeks it’s completely gone. I did my daughters too. Love it and am super happy to not look like Tom Selleck anymore 😂 eta our skin is very happy. After a week or two we didn’t have to shave to use it.
I use the Tinkle face Razor from Amazon for my lip and face hairs. I never break out using it. I wash my face then use it before I use my skin care products. I do it every Sunday.
Ugh! I have the same issues with my moustache, I could relate! The only way i avoid breakouts and hair is: I use tweezers on those darker thicker hair (I do this every night, it’s quick and part of my routine at this point lol), and once in a while I use nail scissors (clean ofc) and clean it up. About laser hair removal on moustache, my esthetician recommended I avoided it, due to my sensitive skin. Keep in mind I’m extremely fair and have dark hair, besides few thicker hair, my moustache is pretty thin and the laser wouldn’t be able to get them all anyways! If it’s any worth, I’ve told my esthetician how I get rid of my moustache and she was very impressed, said she couldn’t see any!!
Your videos are my favourite, I'm really excited about the upcoming blush video!!! Regarding the moustache situation; I have been shaving my whole face for a while and have experienced similar issues. What I figured out is using a gentle cleanser before really helps, as well as a hypochlorous acid spray (like the tower28 sos one) afterwards. I recently also discovered the aveeno pha cleanser to be great for after shaving, which was recommended by Dr Dray xx
I am so stoked about all the videos that are coming!!
I bought the Isle of Paradise and its super pigmented! So i mix it with a clear serum to thin and sheer it out.
I can't wait to see the red blush video!!!
Great video-so enjoy your content! As to the mustache quandary, 😅 I’ve had similar issues and this is what has helped: Hypochlorous spray on the area before and after, and Cortizone 10 Extra Moisture after and maybe even that night and next morning. The regular Cortizone does nothing for me but for whatever reason, this specific version helps. I also drench whatever instrument I’m using with alcohol. 2 last tips: it’s best to leave the shaved area alone for a while so wait to apply makeup and keep skincare actives off of the area. LaRoche Posay mist also really soothes the area. Hope this helps!
Re facial hair removal - I did not find a salon to order threading where I live: however I found the place that offers sugaring and it works very well for me ( except when I did it the very first time)
I wax but can only use real beeswax, I use witch hazel & blue tansy oil afterwards to soothe and prevent breakouts and redness. Those definitely help!!
Can’t wait for all of the videos you teased, but especially the bronzing drops one! I would love to know which ones you think would work best for olive undertones.
You're not alone! We're here and we love you! 🩷💜
I hope you do red lips too! Feeling the red vibe right now.
I used to break out after shaving especially after wearing makeup but ever since I started to use PanOxyl (affordable acne treatment at target) in the areas I shaved, I haven’t had that problem. Prep, shave, then use panoxyl, wash it off & you’re set. Hopefully this works for you too.
If you have the w7 brand where you live they have a really inexpensive bronzing drops option, I have seen people recommending them, would be curious for you to try it and tell us your opinion 😊
Fun video, Amanda! I bought the Saie concealer when it first launched and haven't stopped using it since! I'm also choosy about concealers and have tried sooo many - until the Saie, I was totally happy with my Tower 28 one. Have to admit, my Tower 28 hasn't been touched since I purchased Saie! Anyway, really looking forward to the upcoming vids - thanks for the previews!
I use an epilator on my upper lip! It works really fast the pain isn't too bad.
Can you share the foundation ? I love your videos! Thank you❤
I’m so excited to see all the red blushes. I’ve had six in my cart and never pulled the plug. What a beautiful look today. ❤️❤️
Right after shaving your face, spray the tower 28 SOS spray to help minimize those breakouts!
I remember the orange gelee Bain de Soleil from the 80s and would be interested if you do a review of the updated one. I still remember the jelly like texture and orange tint of it. I'm also looking forward the the red blush reviews. I've never really used red blush and would like to learn how to wear it.
Looking forward to the best of affordable beauty and the lip balms one, great video!
Amanda, im really loving the Brown Maskara it looks sooo good!
I am SO pumped about the red blush video! I am currently trying to find one red blush I could invest in and use to liven up a neutral look, so the timing is ✨impeccable✨
Have you tried st. Tropez water face mist? That one is my fav! And hasn’t broken me out.
For your bronzing drops assessment could you please include Dr Haushka’s bronzing drops? I’ve heard incredible things about it! Thank you!
I’m sooooo excited for the red blush video! Love the effort and love you put into your videos 🤞🏼 you’re also my main inspiration for wearing more shimmery eye shadow lately :D
Amanda you can sugar off the moustache. I suggest doing this before you wash your face off for the day so the oils and leftover makeup works as a barrier and you don’t rip off skin. You can apply baby powder prior to waxing to absorb excess oil.
So stoked you're testing out the TIR TIR Cushion, we have very similar skin types and preferences! My samples I ordered from Yesstyle are coming in tomorrow :D
I used to shave my whole face and I would get terrible breakouts, but I did not correlate that the pimples were due to the shaving until I went to see a dermatologist. She explained that the hair follicules were becoming inflamed and infected from the shaving (it’s called folliculitis), so she prescribed Clindoxyl Gel and a sulfur mask from Revoderm. I also stopped shaving and instead, used the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover and it has resolved the problem! Hope this helps!
GIRL!! SALTYFACE tanning water for face. It’s a Canadian brand but it’s fragrance free and has not caused ANY breakouts for me. I think we have similar skin types / concerns. I hope you see this because I LOVE it. It’s so mild too.
I shaved and sent my skin into a total tailspin. I never breakout, and my whole face was covered with a rash and whiteheads. I think I trashed my skin my skin barrier. I stopped all acids and used cortisone cream, snail mucin, Eucerin eczema night cream all over my face. It cleared up, but I can’t use acids or exfoliants because it comes right back.
I’m so happy to see you and the this morning
I use one of those deep exfoliating mitts meant for the full body. I softly rub my face 1-2 days before I plan to shave. Then I pair with a chemical exfoliant after the gentle buff. The day I shave, I use moisturizer only bc then my skin will burn off if I use any exfoliating product after that! Works like a charm! Basically - do all the exfoliating leading up to the shave and then moisturizer!! I tried laser hair removal and had to stop due to blistering burns 😭. My skin is so sensitive…. And hairy 🙃
i used to get so many irritation breakouts after shaving & this is the routine that has worked really well for me.
- i use the regular colorful eyebrow razors. i get a 60 pack on amazon for like $15 and use each maybe twice before tossing.
- some sort of face oil all over to give my skin some glide
- after i’m done i rinse my face thoroughly with just water
- use an ice roller over everywhere i’ve shaved to calm down the skin
- lots of hypochlorus acid spray! i usually wait like 10-15 min before washing my face and going in with my normal skincare (avoiding actives) but will spray my face liberally with the hypochlorus acid to help mitigate any irritation
A bronzing drops guide would be so good, cos they all look top dark and unnatural on my fair skin. Thanks x
Sigh, I just plucked the hairs above my lip and I'm breaking out the following day! Gaaahhh! I'm going to have to resort to laser, too. It's driving me crazy because I can't shave or wax, so plucking it is. 😢🥴😣
Honestly, regarding the red blush video, even if the viewership numbers aren't high right away, it's so rare to see a good red blush (or used to be) and even more rare to see a red blush reviews video! ❤ So, I think in the long run, as more and more people discover red blush, the video will be a big help to people who are interested. I think many of us are scared because it can be clownish but I am DEFINITELY getting one blush from your future video. Can't wait to watch and see what you include and what your opinions are at the end! 😄❣️
Girl, loving the sneak peek on the upcoming videos…❤also, I’m glad I’m not the only one using a beauty blender…😊
Have you ever tried an epilator. It works fantastically well for removing hair all over the body, including the face!
Thanks for the little preview. I'm already looking forward to seeing the red blush video.😊🙌
I have the very same issue removing my moustache removal! I do threading and it works for me, doesn’t break me out at all. It just hurts an unreasonable amount 🤣
I used to get my lip waxed but after the pandemic I know I had to find some other way. Since im sensitive as well I started using the Flawless Touch facial hair remover tool I got for like $20 at target!
Laser hair removal is THE BEST EVER. I had it all over my body and it is 100% worth it. Wax is the worst.
Laser hair removal works great on light skin and dark hair (like yours) so you’ll have the best results!
Thank you for another wonderful video! I appreciate all you do! I use the Michael Todd sonic care and love it!
I’d go the route of laser hair removal. I can’t say if it would break you out initially but it is the only real solution for ingrown hairs and breakouts. Otherwise you could try cleansing your skin with hibiclens before you shave, put on a thick layer of cushiony oil, shave downwards, and then cleanse as usual. I do find I break out if I follow dermaplaning with an active or if my skin is pretty irritated already.
You could also try using a post shave product post cleanse like tendskin, which is a cleansing and soothing product.
For the ingrown hairs on the armpit, I highly recommend getting a prescription of clindamycin from the dermatologist. It really helps!
Highly recommend laser hair removal! I have the most sensitive skin, and it has been lifechanging. The technology is really great, and if you go to a good salon they will start with a low power level and make sure your skin reacts well.
I cannot overstate how amazing laser hair removal has been. I have slowly saved up and done my legs and underarms, too. So worth it!
I still shave the peach fuzz on my face, and it is all about skin prep and aftercare. I wash my face and use tower 28 SOS before. I also use SOS afterwards, and let that sit so my skin can relax for a bit. Then I use an acid toner and moisturizer.
Ahh…the dreaded female mustache. Girl, I feel you on this, I turned 50 years old this year and I feel like I have tried almost every cheap to costly option on my unsightly “man stash”.🥸 In the end what works best for me is to simply keep a high-quality razor in the shower, and every time I have my regular evening shower, I take 15-20 seconds to shave. No, I have never cut myself and after almost a decade, it’s just part of my regular routine. Your shaving lotion is your facial wash and make up application is seamless. A friend of mine prefers to do her shave first thing in the morning just before her skin care so she keeps her razor with her toothbrush and simply does it every morning. Simple, cost effective and an oh so beautiful result:) Hugs from Ohio❤️
Someone else mentioned it but I’m gonna say it again, just a regular ol’ razor works best. If you’re extra sensitive use a fragrance free shave cream, I like the aveeno one, and a disposable single blade razor. I have really sensitive skin and this works for me 💖
Omg Bain de Soleil orange Gelee was like an SPF 4 😮😮😮😮 loved that stuff but yea not great for preventing sun damage 🔥!
Please try the versed bronzing drops for us!💓
I use the Tinkle razors from Amazon to shave my entire face! My skin is sensitive/acne prone and I’ve been using them for 5+ years. Hope this helps! They’re also VERY affordable (I think like $7 for a twelve pack)
