As a DIY musician/starving artist trying to make it, I rely on myself for pretty much everything. I am my own sound engineer, I am my own stylist, my own choreographer, my own photographer...the list goes on and on. One of those things I learned to do myself was makeup. When I moved to LA, I began posting weekly YouTube videos (I was 17). At first, it was just me singing covers into a mic in my lil downtown LA apartment. Then, I got sucked into the world of YouTube beauty videos and the rest is history. Although my covers got way more clout, my hauls and reviews were getting some attention, too! It motivated me to keep learning about makeup artistry so that for photoshoots, I would never have to pay a person to do it for me. That being said: your makeup lays on a canvas. That canvas is your skin. The NUMBER ONE step in makeup artistry, in my opinion, is to make sure your skin is taken care of!! Treat that canvas with respect. Take your makeup off every night. Moisturize. Over time, you will see results. Self care is self love! Which leads me to...Yeouth Skincare! Someone from Yeouth recently reached out to me to see if I would be interested in trying their Glycolic Acid 30% gel peel. I love all things makeup and skincare, so of course I said yes! I've actually never tried a chemical peel before. I moisturize daily, exfoliate, use hyaluronic serum, and use face masks. All of these are relatively tame compared to a chemical peel. Please read the instructions on the inside of the label on this bottle! They provide great detailed instructions for how to use the peel. I'm going to write about my experience/step-by-step instructions after I did research on chemical peels: 1. Stop the use of face masks/exfoliants/anything that can irritate your skin for 48 hours prior to using this product. 2. Avoid sun exposure/tanning for a week prior to use. 3. Do not shave your face/facial hair for 48 hours prior to use. 4. DO A SPOT TEST. Their bottle said to do so under my chin, so I did! Make sure you do this and wait to make sure your spot test turns out okay before applying to your entire face. Using the peel: 1. Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser, and pat dry. 2. With a cotton pad, apply a thin layer of the peel onto your face, starting with the least sensitive areas to most sensitive areas. 3. Leave on for only 30 seconds. 4. Rinse off with COOL water. 5. Apply moisturizer! 6. Use peels no more than one a week/week and a half. With time, you can increase the length of time you leave the peel on (from 30 seconds to 5 minutes). 7. Your skin will feel BRAND. NEW. I'll put the links to everything below! Thanks so much for reaching out to me!
