When ppl tell you to use acids and retinoids on alternate nights they mean once you are already used to the use of retinoids, not when you just started 😹
1-Don't consider skincare as a collecting hobby.. It's not stamps, clothes or perfumes..its just not! 2-Don't try to treat every concern at the same time.. That means too much more product.. More potential to causing irritation.. More money spent.. More potential of ingredients canceling eachother.. You just don't know! So tbe basics: cleanser +moisturizer +sunscreen And do your research for a maximum of two to three treatment products (serums) for your concerns..! (when you reach a success of 60% in the major concert... Think about the other. 3-the 10 steps skincare routine.. DON'T! just DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It might seem exciting and fund and bla bla.. DOOOONT 😅 4-You don't need to have all, ingredients to have good skin or even good skincare! 5-sunscreen would be tbe most challenging.. Consider experimenting a bit at first.. Abd when you find your favorite that fits your preferences, lifestyle & budget.. Stick to it and don't worry no more.. Find it online for the cheapest and get a stock that should cover you for like 2-3 months.. Why so mucb?.. So that you don't worry about running out of it hence you apply the right amount.. Why not more? A) you'll usually find it at a good discounted price here and there B) maybe you betray it and find a better one 😅 6-if you can afford it, professional facials give higher results in somehow less time.. So instead of buying an expensive fermented essence that costs $100.. Go get a facial with such money!! 7-dobt get too obsessed.. You will know when you get obsessed! So be ware
You FIRST video?! OMG you seem so natural and fun… way to go!!! I’m a makeup artist starting accutane in 2 weeks after 20 years with acne so I relate to you and your content a lot already… can’t wait for more!
Thank you! I am on month 3 of accutane, keep me posted on how it goes for you. Wishing you well on your acne treatment journey. Thank you for being here!
I’m watching this right now, and thank you for all the advice! I’m currently having a bad breakout, and I am so lost with where to start! 😫 But I am feeling a little less hopeless thanks to this video.
Your first video!! 🙌 You did such an awesome job!! I totally agree with everything you said!! With having sensitive skin with rosacea and hyperpigmentation, I’ve learned the hard way with going overboard so slow and steady is key!! I’m so happy to see you on RU-vid and look forward to your next video! Have a great day! 💕
Omg Nikkie this video is awesome 😍😍😍 your are indeed such a natural and I love the tips about cheap starter brands and your critic on tending to buy too many products. This actually is my tips I wish I knew like you DO NOT NEED EVERY PRODUCT!! 😂 like just a couple which are really good is key (especially a nice three step routine) 🙌🏻 And I need to admit that I also brought sooo many stripping products once and wondered why my skin got worse 😂😂
Thank you for your kind words! So excited to have you here! I think we've all over-splurged on affordable brands - I still have to remind myself that I don't need "all the products"! It's all about learning what works for our skin!
Congrats!! I ve been following you on IG for a while and really love your super clear explanation in skincare and your positive energy. I'm sorry bc my english is not good 😅😅
Great video Nikki! You come across really confident on camera - not nervous at all! 🙂 being patient with products is something I have to remind myself of daily.. I’ll use something once and be like why isn’t this working?!? 😤😂 I’m looking forward to more videos from you guys!!
Thank you, Em! I'm glad it comes across that way because it doesn't feel that way internally! I'm the same, sooo impatient when it comes to new products
1st!!! So excited for you as a fellow Canadian!! 🇨🇦 And I know I already told you in DM - but that little shopping cart in the background is soooo darn adorable 🥰 😂
@@uglyducklingskincare I left that comment when I first opened the video 😅 to snatch that 1st haha. Now I hear you saying don’t go buy everything from the inkey list - YEP I did that 😂😂 Caz of how affordable they are, and I’ve always been a “skincare maximalist” who wants as many actives as possible....till I got burnt by tretinoin once 😛
@@alicecgong oh you know you get no judgement here! I've done the exact same. It's so easy to buy all the products when they're SOOO affordable (looking at you Inkey)
Hi!!! I followed you over from Instagram :) I can’t imagine how terrifying it is to post your first video, but you did a phenomenal job. My only criticism is that you didn’t show Winter 😭😁 Btw I love your decorations, especially that mini shopping cart!

hey! i have some acne, more post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and I just got lactic acid 5% and niacinamide 10% along with a moisturiser and sunscreen. do niacinamide and lactic acid work together? I've heard both yes and no. also, do you think i should get anything else on top of these 4 products? toner? thank you :)
