Hello!!!!! Do I need to dilute rosehip oil before applying it?? Or do I just put a small drop on my fingers and rub it in? I can never find answers on how and I'm so scared to apply it bare, how do u usually apply it? Thank you in advance!!!!!!

hey there! rosehip oil is fine to apply in small amounts directly onto your face without diluting :)

I’ve been going through your account and I feel like I’m relating to you on a spiritual level.

Hi! I am wondering how long did it take for you to see results after using some of these products? (Like rosehip oil, for example)

for rosehip oil it took about a week of daily to see noticeable results

hey!!! so I've been breaking out recently and I was wondering if I should cut out some steps in my routine to make sure nothing's worsening my acne??? Right now I'm using an oil cleanser, water cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Specifically, should I drop the oil cleanser for a while? Thanks so much!

imo you should drop the oil cleanser, especially in case your skin is already oily. even if it isn’t I’ve heard oil cleansers can have adverse effects on some people (dont quote me on that)

is vitamin e in pill form good for you or why is it so good?

google is free

[lilynote]

is it best to air dry your face or pat it dry or is using a towel to dry it just fine?

I don’t think it matters as long as you aren’t rough with your skin

hey luv, aside from tea tree oil (which I've already tried) what other oils do you recommend for acne-prone skin? x

hey there!!

so far I’d have to say my favourite oil for acne has to be rosehip oil (post). I have really oil acne prone skin and it’s worked fantastic and been the most effective for me so far, not only for fading acne scars and evening out my skin tone but it’s helped get rid of the remainder of my acne (while paired with other products) and keep it away. 

here’s a masterlist of some other oils in case you need anything else!

listen up because i’m about to save your life. if you want nice and smooth skin and close your pores, this is for you.

1. Steam your face with hot water and then exfoliate with your cleanser.

2. Here goes the key. Vitamin E Oil. Massage it into your face and leave for as long as you can. Overnight. 20 mins. 2 hours. It’s up to you.

3. Optional. You can get actual vitamin E in a pharmacy and take the vitamin once a day. Really good for your health, skin and nails.

im taking this moment to apologize to everyone who followed for studyblr im sorry yall

[lilynote]

okay just read your rosehip oil benefits thing and so there are these two bottles I've seen at tjmaxx, one by pearlessence & this other one by herbiarie, does it matter which brand I get?

I don’t really think it matters as long as it’s 100% (or at least somewhat close) rosehip oil. just be wary of anything added if you don’t know what it is

first of all bless u for the acc bc its fucking amazing but so I freaked out bc im actually using queen Helene's mint julep scrub as an exfoliator??? and I just saw that mint is not good for acne prone skin like!!!!!!!

thank you!!!

im not too well versed on the effects of mint on acne prone skin (nor have i used it personally) but from what I hear it helps?? from what I’ve heard it dries up acne and cleans out your pores

[lilynote]

I just followed you and your account is all the stuff I love so that's super cool and great dude

oh thank you!!
