Solo Q&A: Body Care Routine, Solawave, Red Light Masks, Hair Loss & More!

#054 In this solo Q&A episode, I review several crucial skincare concerns brought up by my followers. I debunk myths surrounding red light therapy and facial fat loss. I elaborate on my favorite products, including the Alpyn Beauty plumping lip mask and the CND Vinyl Lux nail polish, offering tiny, effective shifts to enhance your routines.

Additionally, I address the effectiveness of oral collagen, skincare routines for the body, and the pros and cons of chemical peels for acne. I answer questions about combining salicylic acid and Differin, the differences between retinoid and retinol, and appropriate skincare during breastfeeding. Each recommendation is backed by my personal experiences and scientific insights, guiding you towards healthier skincare practices.

This may be off topic but I was wondering what you think about home RF devices like Newa or Nebulyft?

Thank you for the helpful tips and tricks. I use the Dennis gross red light mask, it’s only 3 minutes. Is that not long enough? Should I use it more than once or look for another mask?
