Your Beauty Questions Answered!

Hi beautiful! I'm back with a new video featuring your most asked beauty questions. I gathered up six of the most asked about topics, so I hope if you've ever commented with a question, that it's answered in this video. If not, go ahead and leave me your question in the comments! I am still figuring out the lighting, so bear with me till I get it right. Unfortunately there's not a lot of natural lighting in this apartment, so I am playing around with artificial ones. Fingers crossed it gets right soon! Anyway I hope that you guys enjoy this video.


Quick Recap!

#1 - Acne Scars
  • Microdermabrasions for deep exfoliation & rejuvenation
  • Salicylic Acid / Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) = to exfoliate top layer of skin
    Raw honey masks are great as they contain a mild form of AHA
    Aspirin tablets contain salicylic acid, use as face mask (click here for recipes) 

#2 - Blackheads 
  • Tip 1: Open pores, gently extract clogged pores using tissue
  • Tip 2: Prevent pores from clogging up by cleaning with Salicylic Acid or Alpha Hydroxy Acid
  • No way of permanently getting rid of them - but you can reduce the amount
  • Some oil is healthy for the skin - don't over cleanse or exfoliate

#3 - Crease-free Concealer
  •  Wear primer underneath your concealer to prevent creasing (just as you apply primer before applying eyeshadow)

#4 - Nail Care
  • Get regular manicures if possible, if not DIY at home
  • Don't bite your nails
  • Apply strengthening top coat (I like "Nail Envy" by OPI)
  • Moisturize cuticles

#5 - Covering Blemishes 
  • If red - correct tone by applying green concealer
  • Once it's set, apply regular skin-toned concealer, set with face powder
  • If swollen - reduce swelling by holding cold spoon on blemish
  • Or apply aspirin mask as it's an anti-inflammatory

  9. Thanks for the tips Annie! I definitely recommend Electrolysis Hair removal for the fine hairs like the upper lip and chin, which laser hair removal just cant remove.

  21. I've been doing at home laser treatments for a couple of months with a Tria and it's so awesome! Anything that I can do at home, rather than having to set an appointment, is great! Hope it's still working well for you! laser hair removal.

  22. Annie! I was curious where you used to get your mani/pedis in NY! I've been trying a few places, but haven't found a salon I'm in love with yet.
