Facial oils: DO or DON’T? • If you missed our Instagram Live tonight, you’re going to want to take a peek at the video! Brooke had the chance to talk to scientist and skincare rumor debunker Michelle Wong, aka @labmuffinbeautyscience, about all things facial oils. • Are they ok for acne-prone skin? Can they be used as a cleanser? What is the one ingredient you should NEVER mix with facial oils? • She answered all of these Q’s and more. You can find the video in our Live Stories! • Thank you Michelle for sharing your time to help us understand this HOT skincare topic! • • • #theskinsisters #labmuffin #scientist #skincare #skincareexpert #facialoil #facialoils #cleansingbalm #cleansingoil #rosehipoil #jojoba #safflower #faceoil #skinoil #chemistry #womeninscience #skinsecrets #instaskincare #instabeauty #instagrambeauty #beautybloggers #factorfiction #acneprone #skincaretips #beautytrend

We’ve teamed up with @sienasoapco to give away the duo of their Defender Lotion Bar & Defender Essential Oil Roller. • These products are both small-batch and locally made by a mother & daughter. They are plant-based and full of essential oils that are thought to have immune-boosting powers! We don’t rely on essential oils to keep us healthy, but we’re all for adding in these incredible-smelling oils for an added boost during these times when we’ll take all of the help we can get! • The Defender Lotion Bar is made 100% of emollients (no fillers!) and truly melts moisture into our hands with each use. You will love it! • How to enter? • 1. Follow @theskinsisters & @sienasoapco. 2. Like this post. 3. Comment on this post (on @theskinsisters profile) with the names of 2 friends who would love this giveaway. • This giveaway starts NOW and we will announce the winner, chosen by random number generator, on Friday, April 3 at 12:00pm CST. Enter as many times as you would like, tagging two unique accounts per comment. Prize will be mailed directly to winner’s address. Domestic entries only.

If you’re like many of us, and you’ve been looking for ways to help during the pandemic, here is an opportunity! We have teamed up with our old friend Dr. Geoff Sudit at @mintortho to deliver PPE (masks and gloves) to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) this Friday, April 3. • If you have access to unused masks and/or gloves that you are able to donate, message us and we can arrange to collect & deliver them for you on Friday. • Please spread the word! Share this with anyone who may have the supplies that the hospital desperately needs. Together let’s show our support for the medical team at HCMC. • Stay healthy, Brooke & Lauren • • • #theskinsisters #ppe #masks #gloves #covid_19 #minnesota #hennepincounty #volunteer #ourcommunity #loveyourneighbor #healthcareworkers #support #giveback #onegoal #staysafe #dermpa #pastudents #mn #minneapolis #edina

Pimples? Here’s a tip for treating those annoying breakouts at home! • Our approach to acne treatment, which comes from many years of clinical experience, is not to just treat pimples as they come up - but to actually change the behavior of your skin to prevent acne bumps from coming up in the first place! By cleaning out pores and decreasing bacteria on the skin, even with OTC products, we can often see a big improvement in acne breakouts. • @larocheposayusa Effaclar Adapalene gel uses an ingredient that just a few years ago required a prescription! Adapalene helps to unclog pores and get rid of oil, dirt and dead skin cells that clog your pores and can lead to development of a microcomedone (the precursor to acne.) • @cerave Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser stops the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin, without drying you out like many other acne cleansers. • Use the acne cleanser in the morning and cleanse with a gentle cleanser in the evening. Every other night, apply a pea size amount of the Adapalene to your entire face, and then apply lotion. • This isn’t medical advice and shouldn’t be confused as such. We save that for the office! But we know most of you are home now and the breakouts can definitely come out during times of stress. This is a simple regimen that makes sense for most people - but not safe if you’re pregnant or nursing! • We’ll post the links to order in our stories. Give this regimen a try if you need it!

We’re social distancing and hope you are too! But, with that comes lots of time at home and plenty of days for trying out new skincare routines. • You’ve been asking us for some of our fav home skincare treatments to do when we won’t be seeing anyone for a bit... We’re compiling them and putting some great tips together to share with you this week! • In the meantime, comment below to let us know what kind of skincare YOU have been doing this week! New mask you’ve been wanting to test out? Finally giving the peel pads a try that you’ve been unsure about using? We want to know! • • • #theskinsisters #homeskincare #diybeauty #diyskincare #masking #maskselfie #peelpads #chemicalpeel #glowingskin #downtime #workingfromhome #socialdistancing #familyfirst #healthyskin #staysafe #wewanttoknow #skintalk #instabeauty

Morning everyone! Here’s a peek at Lauren’s AM skincare routine! • For the past 20 years, Lauren has been washing with @cetaphilus Gentle Cleanser and this morning was no different. @neocutis Micro Eye is another favorite part of her routine not pictured here, but that she uses every morning. • @lather Revive & Thrive Awakening Balm has been amazing (along with the PM balm before bed!) for keeping some consistency in the schedule these days. Don’t underestimate self care as part of skincare. 🥰 • @skinceuticals Phloritin serum is a great antioxidant serum for acne-prone skin; top it off with a little @larocheposayusa Hyalu serum for a moisture surge! Last, but not least, a layer of @larocheposayusa Toleriane Double Repair UV. • Stay home and healthy!

EVENING skincare routine brought to you by Brooke! • She’s been loving the @dermae Hydrating Gentle Cleanser (with chamomile & hyaluronic acid) and @pcaskin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum to lock in moisture. @skinceuticals AGE Eye cream and @cerave PM Lotion round out this easy skincare routine perfect for any skin type. A little @cerave healing ointment will hydrate lips and chapped hands overnight. • Best smelling product award goes to @dphue hair oil, which will repair and protect Brooke’s hair while she sleeps! • • • #theskinsisters #skincareroutine #skincaretips #healthyskin #washyourface #drugstorebeauty #beautyproducts #nighttimeskincare #discoverunder20k #instabeauty #instaskincare #instaskincarecommunity #dermpa #skinexpert #goodnight #weekendvibes #dphue #cerave #pcaskincare #dermae

YOU asked & we’re answering: Do collagen supplements really work? • Numerous studies completed last year looked at oral collagen supplements and whether or not they played a role in improving the skin’s texture, signs of aging, dryness and even cellulite! • Two of these studies used collagen tripeptide (CTP) and looked at skin of people who took it for three months. What the studies found was an improvement in skin elasticity AND hydration! One study completed back in 2012 even found that CTP administered to hairless mice resulted in fewer wrinkles when the skin was exposed to UV light. • Will taking collagen supplements significantly change how your skin looks and feels? Not necessarily, but these studies are promising for the use of these products together with proper sun protection and skincare products to round out your skin health routine! We’ll be shaking some collagen powder into our coffee tomorrow morning! • • • #theskinsisters #collagen #collagenpeptides #collagenpowder #vitalproteins #hushhush #supplements #stayhealthy #healthyskin #beautysecrets #beautynews #dermatology #medicalstudy #dermpa #physicianassistant #theskinsistersmedical #coffeebreak #growyourmind #expandyourmind #collagensupplement #wrinkletreatment

We love budget shopping as much as you do and know that now, more than ever, we’re all trying to make smart shopping choices! • We’ve put together some of our favorite affordable skincare picks in our recent stories. It’s easy to just swipe to stock up on everything you need to put together an amazing skincare routine that’s also wallet friendly, without leaving your home. • If there’s a certain product you’ve been looking for, leave a comment below and we’ll add our favorites to our stories tonight!

Why have serums become *all the rage* in skincare? • Serums are a great way to deliver high concentrations of great ingredients to your skin. There are antioxidant serums, hydrating serums, brightening serums, you name it! These can be plugged in to your skincare routine to amplify the anti-aging effects of your regimen. • But most of you know a bit about serums... you’re here for the INSIDER TIPS! One of our fav Skin Sisters tips is to apply a serum underneath a hydrating facemask! The occlusive nature of the mask can help to increase absorption of the serum’s ingredients. We love @florapybeauty sheet masks, but there are plenty of great options out there! • Have you tried this before? • • • #theskinsisters #antioxidants #skincaretip #skintip #glowingskin #skinhealth #healthyskin #skintreatment #diyskincare #sheetmask #maskselfie #bloggertip #skincareblogger #sisters #antiaging #agegracefully #sunspots #wrinkles #insidertips #insiderbeauty #beautyinsider

Things are not normal. These are difficult times and we aren’t here to pretend it’s all fun & beauty products. BUT we know many of you are home and hopefully all of you are social distancing and looking for entertainment, so we will commit to bringing you fresh, new and valuable information on all things skincare! • Watch for some live Q & A too! • Now go wash your hands 🥰

You ask, we answer! You want to know more about the gel eye masks that Brooke used to de-puff before our @jasonshowtv appearance this week! • Those TV appearances always lead to pre-show insomnia, and the eyes are the first giveaway if you don’t get a good night’s rest! Brooke used @pixibeauty DetoxifEYE Hydrogel patches to help depuff and firm around her eyes. The patches are soaked in a serum containing caffeine (to reduce puffiness) and green tea (for hydration and soothing). • Pro tip? Brooke used her jade roller to further help flush away all that puff! • Click through our stories to purchase your own Pixi Beauty DetoxifEYE patches! These are super affordable and easy to use. Happy 👁 masking!

Social distancing provides the perfect opportunity to stay home, throw on a face mask, and let it do its thing - we’ve linked some of our favorites in our stories! • Do you have favorite mask? Share with us so we can try it out! • Stay healthy everyone. xo Brooke & Lauren
