People ask how I keep my skin so glowy – my product trifecta, just avoid a mistake that left me flakin’ like a snake
A SKINCARE fan has spilled her step-by-step routine for keeping face flakes at bay.
She said that her three products keep her complexion glowing, but warned against a common mistake.
Dana Jill Flaherty (@danajillflaherty) filmed herself detailing the routine in a video on TikTok.
The clip was in response to a commenter who wrote, “Off the subject, but how does your skin look so glowy all the time? Do tell.”
“I lovingly call it the ‘trifecta,'” she said of her regimen.
She said she does her routine twice a day daily, except for cleansing which she only does at night.
“So I do the Dial Antibacterial Hand Wash. I like the white tea scent. This is my cleanser. I used to take my makeup off sometimes,” she said of the hand soap.
“You have to double cleanse if you have cake face. She is chef’s kiss,” she added.
The Dial Antibacterial Hand Wash in White Tea retails for $2.47 from Walmart.
“Then I go in with my retinol, which is Neutrogena Retinol Pro. I started off with the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair in the jar.
“Work up to [Neutrogena Retinol Pro], work up to retinol,” she warned of the product, which sells for $38.99 at Target.
“It burned. I was flaking like a snake. I had breakouts because I was purging. It was no bueno.
“I wanted to go back home, but I pushed through, and I’m glad I did,” she added.
She also used an unconventional product for moisturizing her face after cleansing and using retinol.
“For my moisturizer, I use Gold Bond. I go back and forth between [Diabetics Dry Skin Relief Body Lotion] and another Gold Bond,” she said.
Gold Bond’s Diabetic’s Dry Skin Relief Body Lotion goes for $11.79 at Target.
She added that the routine has worked well for her so far, seeing improvements on a daily basis.
“I had hormonal acne. I had terrible skin texture. My makeup would not sit on my face,” she said.
“I’m 36, el terrible. I’m just saying it works, works for a lot of other people, too,” she added.
