Hey 😀👋🏾
Beth here, a proactive wellness enthusiast. I am a chemical engineer by profession, a product developer by passion💚, and a fitness lover🤸♀️
I believe in holistic self-care to enrich people’s lives and I am starting this page to share my experiences and knowledge on:
Retinoids are the ONLY 'miracle' skincare ingredient.
They treat acne, pigmentation, scarring, fine lines/ wrinkles, and even have anti-cancer effect. But most people use them wrong, end up with irritated skin, and stop. Here's the RIGHT way to use them in your routine... 👇 1/
Got this DM yesterday and took it as an opportunity to share more insights around this, and of course share product recommendations.
If you have concerns about large pores and/or acne-prone skin especially around your cheeks this carousel might help👇
@Osas_akh Nope, that’s actually no. 7 (the 2 finger rule is an adequate measure that you are applying sufficient sunscreen )- By too much product I mean multiple serums, face creams and then sunscreen. If your are using a hydrating or moisturising sunscreen that’s enough esp. for oily skin
9 Sunscreen mistakes you make:
One size fits all
Neglecting neck and hands
Only applying on sunny days
Not washing it off before bed
Not reapplying throughout the day
No + protection like hats/sunglasses
Not applying enough for full coverage
Clogging skin with too many products
Sunscreen recommendations according to skin type.
Today we are focusing on oily skin.
There are different types of oily skin:
-Dehydrated oily skin
-Acne-prone oily skin
-Combination skin
Dehydrated oily: Cosrx Aloe Soothing
Acne-prone oily skin: AXIS-Y No Stress

Lastly, treat sunscreen as you do make-up.
Never go to bed with it on!
Oil cleanse it at the end of the day to allow your skin to breathe and restore itself while you sleep.
For active acne skin consult a dermatologist 🤎
@Osas_akh Askies — I do have so many, I will be highlighting all of them this week, with pictures, additional benefits etc — But in the meantime you can look into AXIS-Y Complete No stress physical sunscreen, Pyunkang Yal Moisture soothing sun cream and for a quick fix Nivea Matte Effect
Many people have a love-hate relationship with sunscreens because they think they are a one size fits all.
But did you know that just like your other skincare products, sunscreens are specifically designed for different types of skin?
