B
Yeah. Okay, so we are on part two of questions that y' all submitted. So let's get rolling. Uh oh. Nope, not doing that. I'm not doing that. This entire episode. No ums. Are you a Christian? What church do you attend?
A
I am a Christian. I'm a Christian woman.
B
Get it back.
A
Yes. And I have not attended church because my ex husband never wanted to and I didn't want to go alone. So I'm trying to find one, like where my new house is going to be built.
B
You're not Catholic, right?
A
I was Christian Catholic, but the Catholic church is a little scary and intense for me. I'm very like non denominational, you know, I am a very spiritual. I have my own personal relationship with God and I think I feel like.
B
You don't even need to go to church.
A
Yeah, I think it's good to like have like a study group. I'd like a women's like prayer group. I think that's more my speed because I definitely like think it's good to like bounce ideas and like have a community. But yeah, I don't have a little bit of church trauma too, so. Yeah.
B
Will Suspera cause a purge when using Shouldn't. Won't say no though. Any new sort of active, no matter what it is, could, but unlikely.
A
I haven't heard that. And we've carried it for like five months, probably six. I don't know. You know I have like the worst concept of time.
B
Yeah. Especially these past few months.
A
Guys like I don't fucking know.
B
Yeah. Routine for maturation. Arrest acne.
A
Please help. So you need to avoid mineral oils and you need to stop smoking. If you smoke cigarettes, if you vape, if you smoke weed, it's not going to be good for you. And if you do a lot of heavy intensity workouts, it's also not great if you're like sweating A lot. And a lot of, like, sauna heat. And your skin's dehydrated, so you need to have a retinoid benzoyl peroxide. I Love Acne Med 2.5. I'd use Alpharet. I would use Sal C toner. Then also make sure you're hydrating. So I would use Trio as your moisturizer. And I would use Lipid serum and Restorative hair. And if you guys ever need help with what order to put things in my highlights on Instagram. Like, I always post in order of what's applied is super beneficial. And then also you can email my team. Everyone's educated on the order of every product we carry. So ask Sierra or Alyssa, who's out of office because she's pregnant, so don't ask her. Or Lydia who's helping fill out the front right now.
B
Speaking of order, I don't know why.
A
Talking right now is making me, like, lightheaded.
B
Drink some water.
A
Okay.
B
Speaking of order Hydro remedy before or after Amphisa Ondo? After. Is Cyrus excited for the new house? We had a little moment there.
A
He couldn't understand.
B
No, I know. That's what I'm getting into. So we went to do a little walk of the house, and we got there and Cyrus was like, what is this drop house? Yeah. Because it's all under construction.
A
Like, he's like, it's broken. It's broken. This house is broken.
B
Yeah. He was like, I don't want to.
A
Go to the broken house.
B
He was like, no new house, Mommy. Go back home. We're going back home. I don't want to live here. I don't want to be here. It's broken. Everything's broken. And we were like, no, sir. It's getting built. It's brand new.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah. So now he understands it and he's super excited for it. Now he talks about his playroom all the time.
A
Yeah.
B
What to use for blackheads with extremely reactive, sensitive skin oxygen deep pore mask.
A
And I would do Ondo.
B
Are there any lip products that help with pigment? Always have pie around my lip.
A
Line size Bara input vivid around your lips. And vivid's actually a really good lip balm. I think I'm gonna pass out. Can you chat gtp?
B
Why?
A
I'm lightheaded. I'll take over. Unless I pass out. Don't take me to the hospital. I have too many bells right now. Just take me to your house. Tell Ryan to get the fuck out.
B
I have a really comfortable couch.
A
Someone said YC A Board certified dermatologist. Never on your recommendations because I'm the one that they come to after they see a board certified dermatologist. What did they ask why I never recommend to see. Oh, well, I've never said it. I mean, if you have skin cancer. I do. In clinic. Like if they have a weird fucking lesion.
B
Oh yeah.
A
All the time.
B
I send them to always tells people.
A
To go like, I'm not gonna like.
B
But if someone's asking for like pigment solutions.
A
Yeah, I know what to do. Pigment, acne, aging. You need me.
B
Yeah, cancer. Don't go to her.
A
Yeah, yeah. Not a question, but I fear lipid serum is that girl. She changed my skin.
B
Raspy voice, talking a lot. Feel like I'm going to pass out.
A
They're going to say I'm dying from rabies.
B
That sounds concerning. Especially the part about feeling like you might pass out. A few possibilities could explain it. But you should stop talking. Sit or lie down somewhere safe. And if you feel dizzy, lightheaded or short of breath, call 911.
A
Okay.
B
You're being dramatic. Chat. It says dehydration or exhaustion, vocal strain or laryngitis. I really do think you have laryngitis.
A
Is that contagious?
B
I hope not. Is laryngitis contagious? It can be depending on if it's viral, bacterial or irritation based. Um, but both viral and bacterial are contagious.
A
Sorry. To all my clients, I didn't know. But I don't think it's laryngitis.
B
But it's.
A
I don't feel sick. I'm up. I feel a hunted.
B
This always happens to her. She never spreads it to anyone else. It's been a few years though. So it has.
A
It's been like three years since this has like happened.
B
But she had, and I am praying manifesting right now that it does not turn into what happened last time because she lost her voice probably six total times over the course of three months somehow it was insane.
A
I know.
B
We would be like, oh my God, it's back. And then like a week later be gone again. Oh, okay. I think you're fine. Yeah. Drink water. I wasn't going to tell you if it was a bad answer, but because it's a good answer, I'll tell you. It says no. Losing your voice is not a symptom of rabies. So we're in the clear.
A
Okay. The lights are so bright.
B
Any product recs for psoriasis on the scalp and hairline sieve and lipid serum. Can you use clearing Serum while pregnant?
A
I did but ask your doctor or board certified dermatologist.
B
That was a good one. Good one. I like that.
A
So bright. I need sunglasses. I always bring my person here and I didn't today.
B
Difference between Ondue and 8% mandelic serum.
A
One's azelaic acid, one is mandelic acid. Azelaic is more gentle and great for redness. Why are you so quiet? I don't like it.
B
I don't understand this question. Did you and Sai take lances last night? Take Lance's what?
A
Virginity. I don't know what that means.
B
Favorite cleanser for AM pm. If I can only buy one Prelude combo. Skin prolude, Tiny whiteheads and Prelude. Okay, you don't even need to hear the concern.
A
I'm intuitive, you know that.
B
Somebody said do you have questions for us?
A
No.
B
Supplements to heal acne from within.
A
Glutathione, Clear skin supplements, Magnesium.
B
Do you have a favorite service for your business?
A
Aerialase does it all. No downtime.
B
Made its money, made its money back in like three months or less and.
A
It'S just you can do it on.
B
Everybody and if you're interested in getting an aralase for the lowest price and with added incentives we have a link in our bio where you can inquire about an airlase and they will reach out to you but you have to use the link in our bio or else you'll get their regular pricing trusted.
A
Which is not as good as that.
B
Yeah, you don't want that lipid serum before or after retinol? Before. How do you do it all? When I went through a divorce I was down bad for like a year.
A
I have been mentally divorced for like two years. So now it's just like the physical which is like I've already gone through the all the feelings of like that. You know what I mean? So I think I've like. Like this earlier this year and like last year too. Like when I was like really like fucking sad and like down bad it was cause I was going through that. So I feel like I've already like processed all of that now it's just like living alone and like being a single mom at times. But yeah, I mean it's hard but I have people I think that depend on me and like I'm not gonna let a fucking man stop me from achieving my wildest dreams. So it's like upwards and onwards. Pull yourself back together. I'm really fucking resilient. I've gone through so much at such a young age that I had to be. So I feel like everything God has put me through has, like, made me a fucking warrior. And, like, you can't fucking break me. Like, I've already been broken so many times, so. So it's like, yeah, it's hard, but I've done harder. And honestly, like, it's the best thing that I could have ever done for myself and my son. So while it is hard, it's, like, for the best. So. Yeah.
B
She really do be asking you everything. I don't know what that means.
A
Yeah, I don't know what that means either.
B
Like herself.
A
What is probably herself, Cyrus.
B
Feed yourself.
A
Be nice. She's an angel.
B
She is.
A
She just has a lot of questions. She just wants to be perfect, which.
B
I won't complain about. How did you know the right moment to go solo?
A
I couldn't find where I wanted to be, and I loved this industry so much, and I wasn't gonna let shitty jobs keep me from being in it. So I had to make my own space and place. Now, if you can't find what you're looking for, make it within yourself.
B
My Ideala Cleanser sometimes leaks. Has anyone else reported this?
A
Uh, no.
B
Yeah, no, that never happens to me. Actually, Ideala Cleanser is my favorite cleanser to travel with because it's the only one that doesn't leak. Because you can pump it out. You can either be smart, which I never am, and, like, time it perfectly for your last cleanse before you're gonna pack it so you don't waste a pump, or you just waste a pump and then twist it and it completely locks. It does not leak at all.
A
Yeah.
B
Pregnant and getting cystic acne behind my ears and hairline using Hyacinth Active. What else?
A
I would use Mandelic 8% and Carboxy Mousse and the charcoal spot treatment and sulfur mask and oxygen deep pour mask. Yeah.
B
There was, like, a string of questions from the same person, but they weren't questions. They were just music wrecks. So that's why I was confused. I was, like, trying to figure out if there was a question somewhere.
A
Can I lay on you?
B
What?
A
Can we share my. Can I lay on you?
B
Can you lay on me?
A
Yeah. My head hurts.
B
Oh, yeah, of course.
A
Okay.
B
I wasn't. I wasn't understanding.
A
This is so cozy.
B
Okay, Spider, is this gonna work? He said we'll make it work. I meant I did it. You distracted me. I was really doing well. Tips to get rid of a small bruise on my cheek. Got elbowed by my toddler.
A
Isis Arylase. Glacial. That's it.
B
Aerolase. Really is. You gotta come in.
A
Yeah, come see us. I feel like we look so cute right now.
B
Someone's breaking in.
A
Oh.
B
What is a red light therapy device? Closest to medical grade laser and not crazy expensive.
A
Omnilux. It's a one time buy and they have a good warranty. And it's compatible in multiple countries. You can take it to Asia, Africa, Europe. Europe? Where's another continent?
B
Antarctica, South Africa or South America.
A
South America.
B
KP on my 11 year old daughter. Back of biceps, arms mostly, but some face as well.
A
Sieve and I would use refining body scrub.
B
Peel pad after suspira question mark.
A
Yeah, why not it up bestie.
B
Some of these are better. Some of these are repeats dermaplaning and skin pen. Same day opinion.
A
Yeah, brother. I'd be doing that all the time.
B
All the time, all day. Is adipo volume cream acne safe?
A
Yeah.
B
Okay. Ariana. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
You need to be the pusher.
B
I feel like we could have just kept it in place. You always make it, Lucy. Flaccid.
A
Okay.
B
Getting rid of facial skin tag.
A
You need to cauterize it or freeze it or aerial it.
B
Learning how to treat acne. As an esthetician, what course would you recommend?
A
Mine and face realities.
B
We also have an incentive link for face reality and Savannah's link in bio.
A
You're hoeing me out?
B
I'm just saying if the. I want the besties to save money. You're like pimp. No, I want the besties to save money. Hold on. I'm like giving fat right now. Mm, she didn't say no.
A
Well, don't think you're fat. Sorry, that just sits in my face.
B
Best products for bikini area, dark spots and ingrowns. See, you made it loose.
A
Okay. For ingrowns and darkness.
B
I didn't like the cough, but yes, you're fine. Dark spots, dark spots and ingrowns.
A
I would use peel pads. I would use perfect body wash and I'd use sev.
B
What's the difference between eventone and even tone intensive? You tell them eventone has their.
A
You don't know.
B
No bright technology. B, R, Y, T, browns, reds, yellows, tone and texture. And so Savannah typically likes to recommend this for less severe pigment cases. Pie. Some redness in the skin, correcting overall skin tone. Like yellow. Or if you just have an uneven skin tone. Some pie. Even intensive is their new baby and it is brighter technology. So it still addresses all the things that even tone original does. Browns Reds, yellow, tone and texture in case you forgot. But it has the ER which it stands for enhanced resurfacing. So they added gentle AHAs to help treat all the pathways of pigment. So basically even tone was a pigment inhibitor. So it is going to help, you know, lighten what's already existing but really inhibit that process at the melanocyte. But even intensive is going to help inhibit the process at the melanocyte but also actively address in a quicker way the existing pigment that's on the skin to treat it.
A
368, no crumbs, thank you. It also has tranexamic acid in it which is really good for stubborn pigment and it treats all five pathways of pigment.
B
What's good for dark underarms? Waxing has helped but there's still a.
A
Slight shadow peel pads and vivid brightening serum.
B
What treatment do you recommend to help get rid of hyperpigmentation? The quickest used to be the Cosmelan. But they're bogarting that there's like a new company that they switched sort of similar to I was talking about. What's it called? Mizzy. Yeah, same thing kind of happened. The distributor changed so they're like having to reset certified and also the hydroquinone laws. So they had to change the formulation. Just a bunch of stuff.
A
Yeah. Cause fuck big pharma, they don't want us to be great.
B
They don't want. They want everyone to have melasma.
A
They don't have to pay insurance.
B
Is one love oil cleanser acne safe?
A
Yes.
B
That's like the cleanser you were using to fix your forehead.
A
Yeah.
B
What's your favorite perfume that lasts all day?
A
Blanche Bette Launch my shelf.
B
Good one. Thoughts on Nutrafol?
A
It will make you break out if you're acne prone. So get our new hair gummies instead. How do you even pronounce the brand name? Extras.
B
Extrase.
A
I feel like fucking love it and it tastes like candy.
B
It's so good.
A
It's yummy. Yum, yum.
B
I honestly like have a problem with those because I feel like I will eat the entire bag. Like I need to have like gummies, you know what I mean, next to it. So I can just start reaching for those because it makes you want to eat them. Best for scars.
A
Skin pen, TCA Cross, Aralais era. But product wise, intense serum and peptide micro scrub.
B
I think I missed what happened? Are you okay? What? He looks.
A
He looks out of it.
B
He does. Sorry. Savannah's nanny just sent a picture of Cyrus and he looks like he hasn't seen the light of day. He looks like he's been. Can you zoom in on his face? No, too close.
A
He looks like he's held hostage.
B
No. Yeah. He looks like he hasn't seen sunlight and baby. Poor years.
A
Poor guy. Okay. What made me leave?
B
Are you okay? What made you leave?
A
I'm okay. Oh, I'm sorry. A lot of reasons.
B
I mean, go watch the episode two videos ago. It was for the best. How do you think the esthetician world has evolved in the last 10 years?
A
I think we're more known. I think we're like kind of like the first option now instead of just medication from derms. I think people are like, nicer now.
B
Can I use even intensive while pregnant?
A
Yeah, definitely. Because you want to prevent and correct any hormonal pigment. And Maestro revive would also be amazing to help balance out your skin with all this hormone changes.
B
Do you feel like a lot has changed with skin better in the last few years since l'? Oreal?
A
Not when it comes to products, but just like operationally. Yeah. And I would say just like the feeling of like a close knit type family. Like, it's very corporate now. Like, we can't just like call up Jonah and Justin, be like, hey, like, it's like now everything I do have to go through, like legal, which is like really fucking annoying. But it's just corporate America. So it's just different.
B
It's different in terms of us working closely with them.
A
Yeah.
B
It's just like the products are the same and especially like all the new innovations are all stuff that like Ben. Yeah. The original founders pre l', Oreal, these were all innovations that have been in the pipeline.
A
Like the next five or six things that are coming out are all from them.
B
Yeah. So. So nothing that you're getting from Skin Better anytime soon is a product of l'. Oreal. It's a product of Jonah Jesson and Seth. I'm trying to help sis romanticize her life for Christmas. What are your recs that bring joy?
A
A divorce.
B
Anything else?
A
Candles, AB bath bombs. Christmas bath bombs. Like a Christmas scented perfume. Like, I love the brand. Sniff has some good ones that are like, affordable too. Playing like Christmas music when you're like, just getting ready. Christmas pajamas.
B
I feel like it doesn't necessarily have to be Christmas related. I think she's just doing the gift during Christmas.
A
If you have like, oh, affirmation cards, perfume, like a signature scent, a nighttime scent.
B
I feel like that's because I feel like everyone wears A.
A
That's not the right time. There's. It's a bedtime set.
B
A bedtime scent.
A
There's a nighttime scent.
B
Is that for like. What's the difference?
A
That's for being like. That's for going out.
B
Oh, okay. Okay.
A
Like going to dinner.
B
Got you. Got you. Bedtime. That's what I meant. Yeah, that's what I meant.
A
You can fuck with a bedtime scent. It can smell like a bubble bath while getting railed if you want.
B
That's true. Why does my acne seem to get more inflamed when I use bpo Purging?
A
I don't feel good.
B
I don't even know what that means.
A
A dilated pore of Winter of weiner. It's a really big pore.
B
Like how big?
A
Google it. It's like a big. Oh, my God, I'm so jealous. I want a dilated pore of Whiner.
B
On your face or to treat.
A
I want to extract it.
B
Dilated pore of whiner.
A
They're huge. They're really big blackheads.
B
Whoa.
A
Yeah. They're like big daddies.
B
That's crazy.
A
You gotta extract it. And then there's a hole left behind, which there is gonna be. TCA cross to build that collagen back up and intense serum eczema remedies for babies. Barrier Balance cleanser. Highest and active sieve Lipid Serum Comfort Cream. You're not hiring any remote physicians right now.
B
Best products to help skin when starting prescription tretinoin.
A
Lipid serum will help it be more tolerable.
B
Lipid serum has. They did a clinical study that showed the efficacy specifically with prescription tretinoin. And it made it more think like 80% more tolerable. It was something crazy. Like the people in the case study had drastically less redness, flaking, peeling, dryness, compromised barriers. All the typical things that come with using that. How to use strong body gel with Lipid Body or Alpharette Body or in Myron Duo.
A
So I'd do the Strong body gel after Lipid Body, but I would do it before Alpharette and I would do it after. After environ. Sorry, not right when I'm here.
B
It's okay. You coughed. I kept it in.
A
One smells, one doesn't.
B
What website do you use for selling products? I'm trying to get my website together.
A
Shopify. Why? Why am I hungry?
B
You did. You even. You didn't like your lunch. I feel like you didn't eat it.
A
Yeah.
B
Tinted moisturizer. Not Tone Smart or Elastin they break me out.
A
Lipid shield is so good.
B
Yeah. Did I miss that? You and Lance are uncoupling. I see nothing. That means you're not a true bestie. You're not watching Blondist every week. Oh, girl, you're hungry.
A
Maybe that's why I'm lightheaded.
B
Makeup brands that you recommend.
A
I like rare beauty. I like Saie. I like Ilia. I love makeup by Mario's eyeshadows. Love.
B
I feel like you like a lot of makeup.
A
I'm for the streets.
B
He is not loyal when it comes to makeup brands.
A
Yeah, I like it all.
B
Why is peanut butter bad for acne prone skin? Even if it's a clean one with.
A
Nitrogens produces more oils and inflammation. Best products for sagging jowls, volume cream, strong gel when you use the cream and then the gel on top. And then I would on top of that do interviews, face and neck. Wait, she had a second part to that question. And best eye cream for deep under eye, crow's feet. I would do interfuse lines and interfuse eye five step regimen Dry sensitive concerns are aging and depressed scars. I would do barrier balance cleanser. No. I would do peptide firming cleanser. I would then do CBD mist intense serum.
B
And then they're gonna tie in your hands behind your face.
A
Alpha and sunscreen.
B
How are you doing?
A
Hungry, no voice.
B
Stressed getting married in a year. Want the glowiest skin. What would you do?
A
Carboxy mousse and lipid serum. And I'd start getting glacial treatments and.
B
CO2 masks at home.
A
Yeah. Best product for eyelash growth, revitalash. But if you want something that's not like a prostaglandin derivative, even though it's like fine. I would do the eyelash cream. Eye cream on our website from factor five. Yeah. And then smile lines. Interfuse lines.
B
Thoughts on spironolactone?
A
It's great for short term band aid, but you're always gonna like run into breaking out again. So you need to actually like get on a regimen and change your lifestyle. A simple starter routine. I would do cleansing gel, lipid serum, alto sunscreen, nighttime well, alto trio sunscreen, nighttime cleansing gel, refining foam, lipid serum, Alpharette trio.
B
Should you use adipo on just places you want more fat or whole face?
A
Whole face because it's gonna restructure your fat cells. Best products for post microneedling, lipid serum and intense serum.
B
How did you find your financial advisor? How do you control your finances with the spa and house?
A
I have a really good cpa.
B
Firm, best skin, better product to use after dermaplane Triolux. What if eczema is on the leg and itching makes open wound. Is SIV okay?
A
Yeah. Spray hyacinth first.
B
My daughter started clearing serum. She said her face is feeling dry. She's only using it twice a week.
A
It's normal to be a little bit dry in the beginning, but just use Trio luxe after.
B
Can I use that new volume product, Adipo for under eyes?
A
Yeah, I think it's been 30 minutes.
B
I think so as well.
