One obstacle for me is getting cold too quickly out of the shower and not wanting to moisturize because I'll get colder! I'm going to figure out how to moisturize when I'm still in the shower or maybe someone will invent a lotion heater so we can stay toasty warm;). Thank you for such helpful videos!

    Hi, I would love to know your thoughts on body butters? I have been following your skincare advice and use a dove sensitive soap bar for washing, as well as a non scented simple deodorant. It’s great. I have used cetaphil and cerave body moisturisers in the past and whilst they work great, I can’t help but love the smell and feel of palmers cocoa butter infused lotions since everything else is relatively simple and non scented in my body care routine. Also I’m not sure if it’s just me, but it seems to make my skin tone appear more even and glowy? So it would be good to know your thoughts and if you have any recommendations. Thank you for everything that you do! ❤

    I'm guessing it's becuase the facial skin is more sensitive because it's thinner and also (presumably) not covered with clothes. Hence it's exposed to more pollutants and it's more severely effected by oils and dirt than our body. Similar to how if you're treating body hyperpigmentation you can use exfoliants and retinols on the thicker skin of the body more often than you would the thinner, more easily damaged facial skin barrier.

However when I stopped accutane I stated adapalene, and now I get oily super easily, the sebum isn't thick but how do I say it? its very watery meaning that it doesn't stay in the pores and easily comes out to the surface.

    I've noticed a difference when I use the ordinary's 7% Glycolic Acid on my legs after I get out of the shower. I apply it to damp skin, let it sit a little bit, enough to absorb in and then I top it off with my usual moisturizer. I do this maybe once a week and I have noticed that my skin is more hydrated, smooth and more acne/chickenskin free. Hope that this helps you a bit. I am very white though and I've heard that Glycolic Acid can react differently to darker skin.

    It seems like a cleanser and/or lotion specifically designed for KP would be the best route. I used the glycolic toner from The Ordinary on my body at night and then put on lotion like normal. However, I think it'd be easier and cheaper for me to just use one product that moisturizes and exfoliates at the same time. I used Amlatin lotion but it was so itchy that I couldn't stand it. So now I'm going to buy Cerave SA products or Drunk Elephant glycolic lotion.

    Dove is very irritating to my skin because it’s not real soap. Soap by nature is the saponification of fat (oil, typically used to be lard or tallow) and lye. This is true soap, not synthetic anything or surfactants. In fact products that contain synthetic surfactants can be considered detergents not true soaps.
