I like Dominque Sachse 2 minute makeup video. Gave me some good ideas.

And along those lines... I miss the old What Not to Wear show! Is there anything like that out there these days?

Yeah that would be me. Pretty much zero makeup....and lately I've been doing nothing to my hair!

That said...I really liked What Not to Wear!!!

I loved What Not to Wear. I stumbled on reruns on a cable channel a few weeks ago, and meant to check when they show it.

Most of the You Tubers use too many products. I think a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, a retinoid, and sunscreen is all you need, at least for topical skincare. A glycolic acid peel done by a professional would probably give you that glow.

I agree! And for all of Dr. Dray's other issues I still think her skin care advice is generally right on. My skin started looking less irritated once I simplified and cut out products that had fragrance. I also learned that there is little difference (at least to me) between high end pricey stuff and what you can find in the drugstore. And, in fact, sometimes the drugstore stuff worked better!

So, other than the fact that I tend to want to try different things, Dr. Dray's channel has saved me some $$ and improved my skin overall.

I loved What Not to Wear, too! They should bring it back. I read an article by Stacy London, and she's had some tough times!

That’s also why I like the Beauty Brains podcast. They really get into what it costs to make a product. It’s so interesting, I think you’d really like it!

I like Pampered Wolf's Youtube channel. I think she is at least 40, and she frequently does videos that feature her mom.
