@@jaunty_tunes all skin has melanin. There are two types - red and brown. the mix of these types creates skin tone. There is not more or less melanin in dark or light skin. The melanin is a different colour is all. Melanin is not enough to protect the skin from UVB and UVA rays. Sunscreen is important for preventing cancer and skin damage.
I really appreciated how Ni’Kita was openly honest about how her goal as a cosmetic chemist is to sell you as many products as possible, even if you might not need it, and how you don’t need a lot of different expensive products to keep your skin healthy. It makes the video seem a lot more credible than a lot of other skin care videos and articles where they just give you a long list of things to buy if you want clear skin.
every person in business tries to sell u as much as possible. look at apple, removing the headphone jack? great, now they can additionally sell you new wireless headphones, without really making the phone a lot cheaper. I call bs
I remember family members shaming me when I was younger while taking care of my skin in my teens ! They would call me vain 😒 but guess what ! I have better skin than them and look way younger than them 🤣
@@kleffzz2336 fellas, is it gay to.. *checks notes* take care of your skin? joke aside, you do you mate. it’s not gay to practice hygiene and self-care
For those who have relatives or friends who shame your skin care routine, ask them why they think that way, why they think it's "gay" or "vain", etc. and that reveals where they're coming from and at the same time, make them realize that's not how it works. Push those buttons to debunk their own biases.
When they talked about people in their late 20's/early 30's taking care of their eye area skin for preventative care & Ni'Kita said she has to tell her daughters... my mind cannot even fathom that she could have adult children. She looks soooo young! Both of these women have amazing skin, and such calming voices. Loved this debunking video! 💜
I went through this when I turned 30, I had these huge deep rooted pimples that hurt sooo much. I never had acne but in my 30’s I went through some shit. I thought I was oily so I would scrub scrub scrub and when it only got worst I finally decided to go to a skincare specialist. She actually told me that I was super dry and my skin needed moisture. Once I started a moisturizing my skin and kept it moist, the acne literally went away. It was a miracle!! Also another note, I stopped eating meat. Not completely but limited. I really believe when our hormones are wired up, it’s best to cut down on adding more hormones to the body by cutting certain foods out. Moisture+Food adjusting is what helped me!!
I was always fascinated by how some of my friends have inherited perfect skin from parents or were just born with it. Some of them eat a lot of greasy food, smoke, drink, don't apply skincare products but still have perfect skin without makeup. And then there's me whose skin isn't good even when taking care of it :'(
I love how she wrapped it up with having a good relationship with your skin. Took me years to learn that my skin likes to be cleansed with a just little witch hazel, exfoliated once a week, and moisturizer every👏day👏 bonus points if it has vitamin C. She HATES over the top skin routines, over cleansing, and Proactive.
But i can't , i physically can't do any house chores without singing and especially music lolll and that icluding cooking , i be busting Queen b and RnB goodies all day long loll
I can testify to just how pervasive these skin care myths are! For the longest time I thought I had terrible acne at 30, and I scrubbed and washed with harsh soaps. I started seeing a dermatologist this year, and within a month of stopping the harshness and using a mix of topical medicines, moisturizing properly, and switching to a much gentler soap, my face almost entirely cleared up! It was like a miracle, I swear, even my derm was amazed! I'm on my way to a more permanent solution, but my whole family and all of my friends always comment on how clear and young my skin looks.
Cleanser -Toner - Serum - eye cream - Sunscreen. This changes my skin, and particularly after trying korean skin care brands my dark spots from acne gone faster. The key is know your skin. Learn what ingredients suitable and benefit your skin
But the main question is: HOW? I am new to skin care even though I'm already 23 y.o. I keep wondering how could I know what my skin needs or know what kind of skin I have.
Naurah Qonitah well it depends on your skin type. Does it feel tight, dry, flaky, maybe red? Or oily? Or neither? Or both? I strongly recommend RUclipsr Dr Dray who is an actual Dermatologist. Hyram is good but he seems to stick to mainly his skin type, but he can be very helpful, too. All you really need is a good cleanser for your skin type, a moisturizer, sunscreen, and acne spot patches.
You really just gotta know your skin. I would start with knowing if your skin is oily naturally, or oily because it's dry and making oil to compensate. After that, I would see what kind of issues my skin has like wrinkles or acne. If you want to or can, go to a store that sells skincare and they can do a moisture test on your skin! I know that the L'Occitaine store does the test but I think sephora and ulta does it too if you ask.
That's what dermatologists are for, yes! This video opened my eyes to the fact that I don't quite know my skin type and could benefit from seeing a dermatologist
@@marisan8265 dermatologist just treat skin problems with medicine. They're the worst when it comes to skin beauty. Source: +10 years on skin treatments with great dermatologist that never worked.
I wish they talked more about the type of exfoliation to use. I know those abrasive scrubs aren’t good for your skin and chemical exfoliants are much better.
When I went to a dermatologist, she recommends that I use non-comedogenic or lightweight skincare products. And it did work actually since I have sensitive skin. And I never use too many products. A mild cleanser or gentle exfoliation, toner, serum, and moisturizer. But sometimes I use an acne spot corrector gel if I have pimples, but it's rare though. And during the morning I also use an SPF 30 during summer.
I laugh every time I hear the acne only during puberty myth. I never had acne during puberty. But I first had my major breakout the summer I was 23 and and now I'm 25 and dealing with horrible horrible painful acne from the beginning of 2020. Thankful it's now a little under control after I visited a derm last month and he prescribed accutane, adapalene and clindamycin
I started wearing sunscreen everyday and my adult acne went away. My acne scars faded too plus I found out the SPF protects your skin against free radicals in the air as well.
I am male 33 years old. Acne haven't stop. I tried many products and still acne not going away. One day, i saw may younger sister use aloe vera on her face. She buy at drug store. I feel her skin soft and not oily. After that, i also try it. I apply aloe vera after i wash my face day and night. Pooofffff. The acne gone. Its miracle. Now my face only have 1 or 2 small acne. I'm very happy right now.
I use Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser, Cerave moisturising lotion, and Soltan sensitive sun cream. Those are my holy grail. These are actually affordable. 😁
@@dazydayz acne is caused by a particular kind of bacteria. Hormonal changes can change oil production on the face during puberty, causing that bacteria to thrive and acne to develop. It's true that washing your face and keeping it clean can help with acne, but many people have horrible acne despite washing their face on a regular basis and doing everything right. And some people can get away with washing their face a lot less, because their hormones will keep it in check. (I am 19 and spent the entirety of my teens sleeping in my makeup 😬 but never developed acne).
@@julesmallow consider yourself lucky haha I had severe acne when I was a teenager and did two rounds of acutane and by the end of the cycles it would still pop up :/ The genetics is probably from my dad since he had severe acne in his youth as well... I'm 28 and still have some isolated pimples here and there... but drinking water and changing your diet are key points towards getting a better skin, it helped me a lot! And I follow Dr. Chang's sequence of skincare products accordingly, have been in this for one year or so... my skin is good, not great, but miles away from the one I had before :) Patience is important.

Lately I've been taking a break from all these skin care products bc i was feeling helpless since nothing seemed to be working Right now i just wash my face with water and call it a day,, i have to say my face is looking better! But i think i should slowly pick up the habit of using a moisturizer again (I have oily, acne prone skin)
I have oily acne prone skin as well! But even if you're oily, you still need to help balance your skin's oil secretion, clean the sebum and dirt build-up in your pores. I only use three products, a foaming cleanser, a toner, and a moisturizer. To wash you're face, find a face cleanser that is low in pH (pH close to your skin's pH) and that does not remove your skin's natural oils but only the impurities. For toner, find one that is also low in pH to not disrupt your skins natural pH barrier and that gives hydration. Any kind of Moisturizer that fits your needs is fine. I personally like hydration moisturizers. I'd recommend if you're going to start using only moisturizer again to use an aloe Vera gel face moisturizer. Aloe Vera is the best for skin repair and moisturizing. Buy an aloe Vera leaf from any grocery store and look for DIY videos to make your own aloe Vera gel moisturizer. Or you can buy one online like I did recently. Also try to avoid sugar and minimize processed foods because that can create imbalance in your hormones which eventually cause your skin to break out. I love chocolate but when I have it often, I start getting pimples. I only have it like 2 or 3 times a month. If you need to guidance on skin care then you should watch Liah Yoo or Gothamista! Liah Yoo is the one who introduced me to skin care and has really helped me learn about my skin and what products I should be looking for.
This is me... when I decided to give up on all those products and resorted to using JUST water to wash my face, it was the best decision of my life. Safe to say that my skin still isn't perfect as how I'd like it to be but it is in a BETTER condition than it was when I used products.
I'm 18 and I always only use a facial cleanser my whole life and occasionally a mask. I never have acne or any redness and my skin is pretty clear. I am always surprised that people use so much products because my mom always told me I am too young for skincare products. I guess my skin is quite good?
Moisturizer-cleanser -sunscreen all u need , especially if you don't have any issues. Some of the things people do as they get older are for prevention and to maintain. So yeah it's not always about fixing smth
The best thing I've ever done for my skin has been making my own products. Products on the market (that I can afford) tend only to address the most common skin types and problems (for obvious reasons), so making my own skin care has enabled me to exactly address my skin concerns. Because as they emphasized in this video, know your skin. Mine is awful. Oily, but mild rosacea and sensitivity. Add aging into the bargain. Nothing has worked better than the products I make for myself. Even though I sell, I highly recommend learning a few recipes (they're all over the interwebs) if your skin type (or combination of types) is not represented in the skin care industry.
For anyone that needs to hear this. Cut out added sugar and sweetener. It's the most effective way to clear your skin. There are several names for sugar.
Totally agree with eczema. Encountered it few years ago, derma said it was because my skin is dry. Don't like lotion. So I started using moisturizing soap, moisturizing body wash, and moisturizing lotion. Got rid of it. Never came back.
Same. And i have acne from 25-35. I still get occassional acne now. I have switched to fully non oil products including shower gel and shampoo. My skin is smoother and more even now. I only get hormonal acne on my chin. Previously I'm using products with oil and i get acne even on my cheeks (that are usually dry). And oh, I have taken Oratane. My advice is dont mess with ouur skin if it's fine. Dont pile on makeup dont use new or products that are too rich. If you dont get acne with the products you are using, then stick with it. I got ambitious during my 20s because i worked in Shiseido.
@@garima4916 Niacinamide saved me from adult acne. I highly recommend it. Then different products for spots and other issues. Simplicity is key. Don't use too many products at once.
I agree with the eczema part. I didn't have an eczema as a child but when I was in 10th grade (16 years old) I began growing these small itchy watery bumps on my foot. Months passed by and I grew alarmed. It became chaffed and big. As a student I need to wear socks to school and it hurts a lot. I reached out to my parents and they said, "That's eczema. Your grandfather had it when he was alive." Living in a third world country wasn't even a help to my situation. Clinics are expensive so I had to deal with it until it disappeared. I think it was a year before it subsided. But recently I grew one on my leg and man! Can't even wear a skirt because of it. Until now I don't know what treats it but fortunately it subsided once again after so many months. I wish I never grow another eczema...
The main thing there though is probably that if you drink a lot of that stuff you might not be getting enough water, but also that they're full of sugar which apparently can make a difference
The tingling/burning sensation actually happened to me once. I use products meant for Combination skin, but one time, the place I order from didn't have Toner in stock, so they sent me toner meant for Dry skin. When I used it in conjunction with the rest of the products, my skin felt tingly, and I ended up washing it off with a cloth to get it to stop. Switching the Toner out for the correct one solved the issue.
To anyone who has adult acne, i would recommend trying to give up dairy products. I had moderate acne constantly since I was 8 years old, but when I gave up dairy this last year, now i almost never have acne. Also unfortunately i think eatting a lot of candy can also cause me to break out.
I hit 30 & started exploring how to add a daily eye cream regime. It's been great to ease some wrinkling, but also hydrates my eyelids & makes my makeup apply more nicely.
The thing that stops me from using sunscreen is that I hate the feeling of it on my skin, it's very sticky, and also the smell. If I come back from holiday everything smells like sunscreen for a week. I live in a very hot climate which is probably the reason the sunscreen gets sticky, and I hate not feeling "fresh" anymore. I honestly don't know how others wear it every day.
Watch Hyram on RUclips! He has a best of 2020 Sunscreen video and it's amazing! There are some suncreens out there that are not as greasy, less oil based, and essentially feel like nothing on his list! Please consider trying one of those out!
I mean, you don't need to use all she mentioned unless you feel like need it. The basic core of any skincare routine is cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen, but you can add other steps if your skin is lacking on someting or in need. I use toner because i have dehydrated skin that feel thight a few hours after i apply my skincare, even if i am generous with it, but someone who doesn't have this problem, would not need a toner. If you have dark spots on your face, you may consider to use a niacinamide or vitamin C serum for the brightening efect, or you would consider to use a face oil if your skin gets flaky and dry even after moisturizer, or if you suffered from acne in the past and your skin is bumpy, your would want to use a chemical exfoliant, etc. It would depend on what your skin need or what results you want to archive, but if your skin is looking and feeling healthy, cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen is perfectly fine.
I'm 36 and I have suffered from adult acne my whole life. But now I'm noticing the less alcohol I drink,the longer between breakouts. And when I drink, I break out for a week or so. So I've cut alcohol and I haven't had a breakout in several months
i think it's very important to know what's the reason for your acne if you have it. during my adolescence i would occasionally get a pimple around my menstrual cycle, but once i turned 17 my whole face was full of it. at 19 i started having menstrual issues (for the fist time in 10 years, i never had issues with my cycle before) and my gynecologyst recommended me the contraceptive pill. it solved my menstrual issues, helped with menstrual flow and pain, and my face has been clean ever since. it got cleared out in a month after i started using them.
I had a mild acne problem after 16, just started washing my face before sleep every night solved most if not all the problem. Never understood why isn't that common knowledge, everything I had seen before about acne was like 'if it's really a problem, you may go on meds' and nothing more
I really appreciated this video. it's nice to hear from experts the real facts 💯. This has definitely helped me in choosing and staring a better skin care routine for myself.
I used benzoyl peroxide too! It made my skin dry and lead to more acne. I stopped using that and incorporated Salicylic acid + glycolic acid, also water based moisturisers and my skin is responding pretty well! Knowing your skin is important and it really helps ✌🏼
The thing with peroxide is that it works best as a spot-treatment for fluid-filled acne. It's _meant_ to be drying because of that; once the fluid is out of the way the skin can focus on healing the damage. And of course you have to use a moisturiser with it, you have to use on regardless. While it's true not every product suits every skin, a lot of the time people have problems with using a product because they use it in a way it's not meant to be used
2:19 I found that list quite scary - that's a long list before you even get to the make up. Seems to me it should all count since they're all products you're putting on your skin (though I suppose this has a narrower definition of make up as specifically decorative and artistic products applied to skin).
I use - Bioderma sensibio cleansing gel $14 - Witch Hazel $3 - The Ordinary Niacinimide+ Zinc1% (day time)$5 -The Ordinary 100% pressed Rosehip seed oil (night time) $14 -Cerave Daily moisturizing lotion $14 -Black Girl sunscreen spf 30 ( during the day) $16 Simple but It works for me. And it totals to less than $100 🙌
💯‼️ Especially with the K-Beauty. I’m Asian & K-Beauty is definitely not my go-to skincare. My skin prefers Western products & Japanese products. Some local products are suitable too, but only for several selected items/brands.
@@wilted_rose510 happy to help : ) Please note that my skin is combination skin, prone to oily. I get acne when I’m close to monthly period, or when I get lazy and eat whatever I want. I live in a country with tropical climate. What I use right now: Cleanser = cetaphil -> basic, I know. Some people hate cetaphil. But the fact that it is basic means your skin is not going to be overwhelmed and for someone with my skin type, it really helps that the cleanser is doing exactly just that, cleansing the skin. Been using it for almost 9 years now. Toner = Kose sekkisei lotion, helps with balancing the oil, skin complexion, and when I have dark spots caused by healed acnes. Been using it for 2 years. Toner for when I have breakouts = I use local brand Serum & moisturiser = the body shop’s drop of youth. Been using it since they first launched the products. Sunscreen = supergoop, the spray one Eye cream = I use local brand & Kose infinity eye cream. The kose one is for night treatment. Avene water = for when I have breakouts. Put it in the fridge, spray on cotton, compress your acne with it. Evian water = this helps when I need to retouch my make up or just to freshen up my skin during the day when I do not wear make-up. Serum for eyebrow & eyeleashes = apotcare optibrow & optilash -> I notice as I grow older I need to care more about my eyebrow & eyelashes, especially with the usage of mascara & brow pencil/anything else with similar function. Face mask = Garnier pure active matcha, it helps with cleaning the pores -> I don’t know if this is available in your country even though it is Garnier’s product. Face mask when I got breakout = I use local brand Exfoliate = usually I go for facial treatment, the clinic is a franchise from Japan and they use their own products. But because of the pandemic, I’m a bit worry with going for facial every month even though the clinic is now reopen with health protocol, so when I feel my face skin really need to exfoliate I create my own face scrub: 2 tbsp of plain roasted rolled oat, a pinch of cinnamon powder, cold plain skimmed milk just enough to soak the oats. I like to exfoliate before cleansing. Don’t overdo with the cinnamon or you might feel burning sensation on your skin. Or if you have super-sensitive skin, better don’t use cinnamon at all.
I'm not a huge fan of kbeauty sunscreen.. they usually add loads of essential oils and plant extracts to it and some consumers like me irritates my skin .. in the first place its a sunscreen not a moisturizer that will be left onto skin for the whole day
@@abd12459 hmm maybe you should watch Liah Yoo. She has many videos about sunscreens and sunblocks. She goes into detail and explains very well about what you should look out for. Not only korean suncreens but other kinds as well so I'd say give her a try and see if that helps you find a good suncreen whethers it's Asian or western ones. Hope it helps!
I am slightly jealous of those who started getting acne in their 30's. Literally spent what feels like my whole life battling acne. The only plus side is that I already knew everything in this video and I know what works with my skin. Vitamin C serum and a good diet (especially no high fructose corn syrup) have been the best for me, if only I knew that in my younger years.
I'm hearing all sorts of things that are deemed "necessary" but I've never even heard of them. Like what are serums?! I just use cleanser, rinse it with water, then put on some cream with spf. My skin is doing fine. The skin is a smart organ that can maintain itself
I used to over wash my face when I started having acne in my teens. This went on for years until one day I thought maybe I'm overdoing it and maybe I'm stressing too much over it. So I tried to become more gentle on my skin and my self (not stressing over my acne). AND IT WORKED! I get pimples again from time to time when I neglect my sleep, touch my face too often, or go through really stressful times but they're now rare and more manageable compared to my teens.
I got a weird eczema on my eyelids last year. I never got eczema before. I was 21 at the time. Not a full adult yet, but I was super surprised because I thought once you crossed the puberty threshold, you didn't have to worry about that. Thankfully I have under control. It pops up every now and then but I can't feel it. It used to be BAD my eyelids would be in so much pain!
My dermatologist told me 20 yrs ago to wash my face with cetaphil liquid soap and lotion at night and wipe with a damp cloth in the am. I use Retin-A once a week to exfoliate. And I LOVE Black Girl Sunscreen. I told all my friends black and white about it and they love it. It disappears, is light weight and has NO odor so it works for everyone.
feeling more and more like for every yt video I watch, I'm playing 2 truths and a lie intertwined with ads for things I don't need, and product is better in the yt ad than reality about 99.9% of the time🤣
I was surprised that circles under the eyes were touched on! I tried a couple different things when I was a teen- creams, changing my sleep schedule, different diets, allergy medicine, but nothing seemed to make them go away. I've even gotten some comments about it from strangers, but I never got into the habit of wearing makeup and I just can't be bothered enough to start now. Still, it's nice to hear from experts that yes, sometimes that's just how a person's face looks.
I wish they had included where to put your mask in the order on skincare when they talked about it. I never know where it should go and I’m worried I am inhibiting its usefulness.
You should use a mask directly after washing your face! If you use a mask before you wash your face, you will only wash off the product and its benefits when you use your cleanser. Whereas if you use a mask after you use other products (toners, serums, moisturizer, etc.) then you are minimizing the affects of the mask and you will also wash off all the products you applied before
Suffered from acne when I entered last year of my senior up until college. Visited dermatologist for the first time and it was better. Worth every penny. Now, if ppl ask me what I used on my face. I never prescribe something because I could be the one responsible of it. If suffering from something, get help! Especially from experts!
The best thing I ever did for my skin was to stop washing it with any kind of product. I now just use water and a soft cloth, which I believe has allowed my skin's microbiome to maintain its balance and reduce skin irritation. Most of the skin's health comes from within anyway, so I try to keep the topical stuff simple, including makeup, and make sure to get enough sleep, nutritious food, and exercise. It's been so much better than trying a bunch of products, some of which made my skin worse, and paying for some products that may have worked but I ultimately did not need.
Thanks for the informative video. I have 2 questions. 1. It is said that giving your skin a break from any skincare products every once or twice per week can help the skin to restore itself. Is that true? 2. It is better to use a foam cleanser than a gel one because you don't need to use a lot of pressure on the skin with the foam one. Is that true?
i think for the #1, this is usually done by people who had bad reaction to a product. as for #2, this depends on skin type. I think Liah Yoo has a video on that.
I think our skin might need to take a break from products w ACTIVE ingredients like retinols for a week or so and just have a simple gentle cleanse-moisturizer-spf routine once in a while. But you need to take days between using actives or using them interchangeably. Hope I didnt misunderstand your question, sorry if I did😬
VERY true about still having to moisterize oily skin. And it's funny how many people believe that myth. When puberty hit me at 11/12 yrs old, I started getting acne and my entire face became so oily that I had to wipe it with whatever I could find in between classes. Be it paper towels from the bathroom, my clothes, or just my hands. Or else I'd shine like a diamond but in the worst way. Could even feel when the oil was coming on and got bullied for it and the acne of course. I thought my skin was dirty and that I needed to "dry it out" and wouldn't be caught dead moisturizing lol. I also washed my face at least 4 times a day. About a year later, eczema appeared on my cheeks and got so bad I needed to see a dermatologist. Finally learned about the importance of moisturizing and not over washing your face. Because my skin wasn't used to moisturizers, the doctor did say that my face could get worse before it gets better, but I noticed an improvement on everything almost immediately! It didn't take long for the eczema, excess oil AND and acne to subside! After a year of terrible skin, I finally got things under control and the only changes I made were moisterizing regularly, and only washing my face morn and night. Plus now I use sunscreen everyday, even if the suns not out. Spread the word people! KEEP CALM AND STAY MOIST. 😂
You know you watch and read so much on skincare when you know all the answers already. I also recommend The Japanese Skin Care Revolution book from a Japanese lady. One thing that hit me was that she said woman that wear makeup are so delicate and precise about putting on makeup. But when it comes to removing it we are not as gentle. And. Yes. Those Dr. Dennis Gross pads changed my skin. Expensive. But worth it. I cut them in half to get double the product.
No matter what the weather is out, I wear sunscreen. My family makes fun of me. Then the other day we went out and it was cloudy b/c I wore sunscreen I was the only one who didn't get sunburn. Who's laughing now?!
When I was a teen I used to wash my face constantly with face wash and put on toner and foundation. I would fuss over a pimple for minutes. Took me 30 minutes to an hour to get ready and all I wanted really was to sleep in. Finally I gave up because a month of doing my morning routine is the equivalent of a day wasted. So I started not caring about what I looked like what everyone would think of me, if I had acne or not and it actually took a lot of the weight off being a teen. I only washed my face with water from then on and I've had no major acne. Not caring if I had acne or not also stopped me from picking at my face and causing more acne.
I wish my skin cared about me the way I care about it 😩✅

They're makn skin care as a scary thing😭
my family shamed me because i was a male and i put alot of effort on these skin care products and im only 18 , they be callin me gay lmao
@@kleffzz2336 fellas, is it gay to.. *checks notes* take care of your skin?
joke aside, you do you mate. it’s not gay to practice hygiene and self-care
For those who have relatives or friends who shame your skin care routine, ask them why they think that way, why they think it's "gay" or "vain", etc. and that reveals where they're coming from and at the same time, make them realize that's not how it works. Push those buttons to debunk their own biases.
Just wait till you are 50 years old, and you still looks like 25 years old while everyone else in your family look old and wrinkly.
When they talked about people in their late 20's/early 30's taking care of their eye area skin for preventative care & Ni'Kita said she has to tell her daughters... my mind cannot even fathom that she could have adult children.

I never trusted the "if it feels tingly that means its working" myth, I always get scared when that happens and I always stop using the product.
This advice only works for peels.
I went through this when I turned 30, I had these huge deep rooted pimples that hurt sooo much. I never had acne but in my 30’s I went through some shit. I thought I was oily so I would scrub scrub scrub and when it only got worst I finally decided to go to a skincare specialist. She actually told me that I was super dry and my skin needed moisture. Once I started a moisturizing my skin and kept it moist, the acne literally went away. It was a miracle!! Also another note, I stopped eating meat. Not completely but limited. I really believe when our hormones are wired up, it’s best to cut down on adding more hormones to the body by cutting certain foods out. Moisture+Food adjusting is what helped me!!
Mf you don’t absorb hormones from meat
I was always fascinated by how some of my friends have inherited perfect skin from parents or were just born with it. Some of them eat a lot of greasy food, smoke, drink, don't apply skincare products but still have perfect skin without makeup. And then there's me whose skin isn't good even when taking care of it :'(
having acne marks at 25 :( had clear skin growing up and I wasn't even particular with skin care back then
Same it sucks. Thought I would be clear forever.
Im almost 29 and I have 2x zits on my ear ..just doesnt stop
Retinol and vitamin C helped me a lot with spots
Oh my I am currently at 25 and have never had acne or major pimples... Should be more careful 🧐
I love how she wrapped it up with having a good relationship with your skin. Took me years to learn that my skin likes to be cleansed with a just little witch hazel, exfoliated once a week, and moisturizer every👏day👏 bonus points if it has vitamin C.
She HATES over the top skin routines, over cleansing, and Proactive.
The fact that Dr. Change looks like a snapchat filter on a zoom call just comes to show she knows her stuff🙌🏻

I can testify to just how pervasive these skin care myths are! For the longest time I thought I had terrible acne at 30, and I scrubbed and washed with harsh soaps. I started seeing a dermatologist this year, and within a month of stopping the harshness and using a mix of topical medicines, moisturizing properly, and switching to a much gentler soap, my face almost entirely cleared up! It was like a miracle, I swear, even my derm was amazed! I'm on my way to a more permanent solution, but my whole family and all of my friends always comment on how clear and young my skin looks.
Cleanser -Toner - Serum - eye cream - Sunscreen. This changes my skin, and particularly after trying korean skin care brands my dark spots from acne gone faster.
The key is know your skin. Learn what ingredients suitable and benefit your skin
But the main question is: HOW? I am new to skin care even though I'm already 23 y.o. I keep wondering how could I know what my skin needs or know what kind of skin I have.
@@SweetQoni you can take a skin test type online! there’s a youtuber called Hyram, he’s really good at skin care and gives rlly good advice!
Naurah Qonitah well it depends on your skin type. Does it feel tight, dry, flaky, maybe red? Or oily? Or neither? Or both? I strongly recommend RUclipsr Dr Dray who is an actual Dermatologist. Hyram is good but he seems to stick to mainly his skin type, but he can be very helpful, too. All you really need is a good cleanser for your skin type, a moisturizer, sunscreen, and acne spot patches.
You really just gotta know your skin. I would start with knowing if your skin is oily naturally, or oily because it's dry and making oil to compensate. After that, I would see what kind of issues my skin has like wrinkles or acne.
If you want to or can, go to a store that sells skincare and they can do a moisture test on your skin! I know that the L'Occitaine store does the test but I think sephora and ulta does it too if you ask.

They did mention to use AHA pore pads !

Thank you for putting the question time stamps in the video description! Liked
When I went to a dermatologist, she recommends that I use non-comedogenic or lightweight skincare products. And it did work actually since I have sensitive skin.
And I never use too many products.
A mild cleanser or gentle exfoliation, toner, serum, and moisturizer. But sometimes I use an acne spot corrector gel if I have pimples, but it's rare though. And during the morning I also use an SPF 30 during summer.
I laugh every time I hear the acne only during puberty myth. I never had acne during puberty. But I first had my major breakout the summer I was 23 and and now I'm 25 and dealing with horrible horrible painful acne from the beginning of 2020. Thankful it's now a little under control after I visited a derm last month and he prescribed accutane, adapalene and clindamycin
I started wearing sunscreen everyday and my adult acne went away. My acne scars faded too plus I found out the SPF protects your skin against free radicals in the air as well.
I am male 33 years old. Acne haven't stop. I tried many products and still acne not going away.
One day, i saw may younger sister use aloe vera on her face. She buy at drug store. I feel her skin soft and not oily.
After that, i also try it. I apply aloe vera after i wash my face day and night.
Pooofffff. The acne gone. Its miracle. Now my face only have 1 or 2 small acne. I'm very happy right now.
I love how these two experts explained everything, definitely informative.
See mom, I'm not fat, I'm trying to fill in my under eye so I'll look younger!

I didn’t have acne till I was in my mid-late 20s. I also never used makeup other than eyeliner.
@Max Gill can it also be caused by your face not getting washed and the oil builds up?
@@dazydayz acne is caused by a particular kind of bacteria. Hormonal changes can change oil production on the face during puberty, causing that bacteria to thrive and acne to develop. It's true that washing your face and keeping it clean can help with acne, but many people have horrible acne despite washing their face on a regular basis and doing everything right. And some people can get away with washing their face a lot less, because their hormones will keep it in check. (I am 19 and spent the entirety of my teens sleeping in my makeup 😬 but never developed acne).
@@julesmallow consider yourself lucky haha I had severe acne when I was a teenager and did two rounds of acutane and by the end of the cycles it would still pop up :/ The genetics is probably from my dad since he had severe acne in his youth as well... I'm 28 and still have some isolated pimples here and there... but drinking water and changing your diet are key points towards getting a better skin, it helped me a lot! And I follow Dr. Chang's sequence of skincare products accordingly, have been in this for one year or so... my skin is good, not great, but miles away from the one I had before :) Patience is important.

Lately I've been taking a break from all these skin care products bc i was feeling helpless since nothing seemed to be working
Right now i just wash my face with water and call it a day,, i have to say my face is looking better! But i think i should slowly pick up the habit of using a moisturizer again
(I have oily, acne prone skin)
I have oily acne prone skin as well!
But even if you're oily, you still need to help balance your skin's oil secretion, clean the sebum and dirt build-up in your pores.
I only use three products, a foaming cleanser, a toner, and a moisturizer.
To wash you're face, find a face cleanser that is low in pH (pH close to your skin's pH) and that does not remove your skin's natural oils but only the impurities.
For toner, find one that is also low in pH to not disrupt your skins natural pH barrier and that gives hydration.
Any kind of Moisturizer that fits your needs is fine. I personally like hydration moisturizers.
I'd recommend if you're going to start using only moisturizer again to use an aloe Vera gel face moisturizer.
Aloe Vera is the best for skin repair and moisturizing. Buy an aloe Vera leaf from any grocery store and look for DIY videos to make your own aloe Vera gel moisturizer.
Or you can buy one online like I did recently.
Also try to avoid sugar and minimize processed foods because that can create imbalance in your hormones which eventually cause your skin to break out. I love chocolate
but when I have it often, I start getting pimples. I only have it like 2 or 3 times a month.
If you need to guidance on skin care then you should watch Liah Yoo or Gothamista! Liah Yoo is the one who introduced me to skin care and has really helped me learn about my skin and what products I should be looking for.
to me, only using water helped as well (may be bc i used some cheap shitty products)
This is me... when I decided to give up on all those products and resorted to using JUST water to wash my face, it was the best decision of my life. Safe to say that my skin still isn't perfect as how I'd like it to be but it is in a BETTER condition than it was when I used products.
@@nakomochi3117 Is foaming cleanser better then non foaming?
Idk how i just fall in love with Dr.Chang😩
great content! love this duo. more of them please!
I'm 18 and I always only use a facial cleanser my whole life and occasionally a mask. I never have acne or any redness and my skin is pretty clear. I am always surprised that people use so much products because my mom always told me I am too young for skincare products. I guess my skin is quite good?
Moisturizer-cleanser -sunscreen all u need , especially if you don't have any issues.
Some of the things people do as they get older are for prevention and to maintain. So yeah it's not always about fixing smth
You have good genetics
The best thing I've ever done for my skin has been making my own products. Products on the market (that I can afford) tend only to address the most common skin types and problems (for obvious reasons), so making my own skin care has enabled me to exactly address my skin concerns. Because as they emphasized in this video, know your skin. Mine is awful. Oily, but mild rosacea and sensitivity. Add aging into the bargain. Nothing has worked better than the products I make for myself. Even though I sell, I highly recommend learning a few recipes (they're all over the interwebs) if your skin type (or combination of types) is not represented in the skin care industry.
For anyone that needs to hear this. Cut out added sugar and sweetener. It's the most effective way to clear your skin. There are several names for sugar.
Thank you 😭
This is soo true

Totally agree with eczema. Encountered it few years ago, derma said it was because my skin is dry. Don't like lotion. So I started using moisturizing soap, moisturizing body wash, and moisturizing lotion. Got rid of it. Never came back.
Yes! I love learning new things, specially about health and beauty, and exactly how can I improve my routines! Thank you :)
Dr. Chang is so articulate. I don't even care about my skin. I just enjoy listening to people talking sensibly
I never had acne during puberty...... Now I'm panicking.
Lucky
Same. And i have acne from 25-35. I still get occassional acne now. I have switched to fully non oil products including shower gel and shampoo. My skin is smoother and more even now. I only get hormonal acne on my chin. Previously I'm using products with oil and i get acne even on my cheeks (that are usually dry). And oh, I have taken Oratane. My advice is dont mess with ouur skin if it's fine. Dont pile on makeup dont use new or products that are too rich. If you dont get acne with the products you are using, then stick with it. I got ambitious during my 20s because i worked in Shiseido.
@@Peachu_n_Goma_Home thank you so much for your advice 🖤.
@@garima4916 Niacinamide saved me from adult acne. I highly recommend it. Then different products for spots and other issues. Simplicity is key. Don't use too many products at once.
@@DeanithForeverYoung thank you for your advice , I'm currently using retinol and was thinking to start using niacinamide too.
I agree with the eczema part. I didn't have an eczema as a child but when I was in 10th grade (16 years old) I began growing these small itchy watery bumps on my foot. Months passed by and I grew alarmed. It became chaffed and big. As a student I need to wear socks to school and it hurts a lot. I reached out to my parents and they said, "That's eczema. Your grandfather had it when he was alive."
Living in a third world country wasn't even a help to my situation. Clinics are expensive so I had to deal with it until it disappeared. I think it was a year before it subsided.
But recently I grew one on my leg and man! Can't even wear a skirt because of it. Until now I don't know what treats it but fortunately it subsided once again after so many months.
I wish I never grow another eczema...
Replacing soda or juice with water will definitely work wonders for your skin
The main thing there though is probably that if you drink a lot of that stuff you might not be getting enough water, but also that they're full of sugar which apparently can make a difference
The tingling/burning sensation actually happened to me once. I use products meant for Combination skin, but one time, the place I order from didn't have Toner in stock, so they sent me toner meant for Dry skin.
When I used it in conjunction with the rest of the products, my skin felt tingly, and I ended up washing it off with a cloth to get it to stop.
Switching the Toner out for the correct one solved the issue.
To anyone who has adult acne, i would recommend trying to give up dairy products. I had moderate acne constantly since I was 8 years old, but when I gave up dairy this last year, now i almost never have acne. Also unfortunately i think eatting a lot of candy can also cause me to break out.
I hit 30 & started exploring how to add a daily eye cream regime. It's been great to ease some wrinkling, but also hydrates my eyelids & makes my makeup apply more nicely.
The thing that stops me from using sunscreen is that I hate the feeling of it on my skin, it's very sticky, and also the smell. If I come back from holiday everything smells like sunscreen for a week. I live in a very hot climate which is probably the reason the sunscreen gets sticky, and I hate not feeling "fresh" anymore.
I honestly don't know how others wear it every day.
Watch Hyram on RUclips! He has a best of 2020 Sunscreen video and it's amazing! There are some suncreens out there that are not as greasy, less oil based, and essentially feel like nothing on his list! Please consider trying one of those out!

…I thought all I need was cleanser and moisturizer lmfao
I mean, you don't need to use all she mentioned unless you feel like need it. The basic core of any skincare routine is cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen, but you can add other steps if your skin is lacking on someting or in need. I use toner because i have dehydrated skin that feel thight a few hours after i apply my skincare, even if i am generous with it, but someone who doesn't have this problem, would not need a toner. If you have dark spots on your face, you may consider to use a niacinamide or vitamin C serum for the brightening efect, or you would consider to use a face oil if your skin gets flaky and dry even after moisturizer, or if you suffered from acne in the past and your skin is bumpy, your would want to use a chemical exfoliant, etc. It would depend on what your skin need or what results you want to archive, but if your skin is looking and feeling healthy, cleanser + moisturizer + sunscreen is perfectly fine.
These two women together give a Tuca and Bertie vibe. Would love to have skin care spin-off in that fashion
I'm 36 and I have suffered from adult acne my whole life. But now I'm noticing the less alcohol I drink,the longer between breakouts. And when I drink, I break out for a week or so. So I've cut alcohol and I haven't had a breakout in several months
I noticed that when I eat something that affects my liver, my acne goes crazy. Might be a similar case for you 🥺
I wish they gave tips on how to get rid of dark spots without laser treatments.
i think it's very important to know what's the reason for your acne if you have it. during my adolescence i would occasionally get a pimple around my menstrual cycle, but once i turned 17 my whole face was full of it. at 19 i started having menstrual issues (for the fist time in 10 years, i never had issues with my cycle before) and my gynecologyst recommended me the contraceptive pill. it solved my menstrual issues, helped with menstrual flow and pain, and my face has been clean ever since. it got cleared out in a month after i started using them.
5:12 reminds me of that get out scene
youre right lmao
Right!!! Same. 😂
I had a mild acne problem after 16, just started washing my face before sleep every night solved most if not all the problem.
Never understood why isn't that common knowledge, everything I had seen before about acne was like 'if it's really a problem, you may go on meds' and nothing more
THEY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS omg thank you ladies! 😭💖
I really appreciated this video. it's nice to hear from experts the real facts 💯. This has definitely helped me in choosing and staring a better skin care routine for myself.
moisturiser treated my acne while peroxide did not work oily skin needs moisturizer
I used benzoyl peroxide too! It made my skin dry and lead to more acne. I stopped using that and incorporated Salicylic acid + glycolic acid, also water based moisturisers and my skin is responding pretty well! Knowing your skin is important and it really helps ✌🏼
The thing with peroxide is that it works best as a spot-treatment for fluid-filled acne. It's _meant_ to be drying because of that; once the fluid is out of the way the skin can focus on healing the damage. And of course you have to use a moisturiser with it, you have to use on regardless. While it's true not every product suits every skin, a lot of the time people have problems with using a product because they use it in a way it's not meant to be used
2:19 I found that list quite scary - that's a long list before you even get to the make up. Seems to me it should all count since they're all products you're putting on your skin (though I suppose this has a narrower definition of make up as specifically decorative and artistic products applied to skin).
I believed at least half of these. I wonder if that’s why I haven’t been acne-free in 9 years.
I use
- Bioderma sensibio cleansing gel $14
- Witch Hazel $3
- The Ordinary Niacinimide+ Zinc1% (day time)$5
-The Ordinary 100% pressed Rosehip seed oil (night time) $14
-Cerave Daily moisturizing lotion $14
-Black Girl sunscreen spf 30 ( during the day) $16
Simple but It works for me. And it totals to less than $100 🙌
I love these women! Please invite them to create more content with you!
Wow! What lovely & educated ladies they are- loved listening to them! Thanks for that informative video
💯‼️ Especially with the K-Beauty. I’m Asian & K-Beauty is definitely not my go-to skincare.
My skin prefers Western products & Japanese products. Some local products are suitable too, but only for several selected items/brands.
@@wilted_rose510 happy to help : ) Please note that my skin is combination skin, prone to oily. I get acne when I’m close to monthly period, or when I get lazy and eat whatever I want. I live in a country with tropical climate.
What I use right now:
Cleanser = cetaphil -> basic, I know. Some people hate cetaphil. But the fact that it is basic means your skin is not going to be overwhelmed and for someone with my skin type, it really helps that the cleanser is doing exactly just that, cleansing the skin. Been using it for almost 9 years now.
Toner = Kose sekkisei lotion, helps with balancing the oil, skin complexion, and when I have dark spots caused by healed acnes. Been using it for 2 years.
Toner for when I have breakouts = I use local brand
Serum & moisturiser = the body shop’s drop of youth. Been using it since they first launched the products.
Sunscreen = supergoop, the spray one
Eye cream = I use local brand & Kose infinity eye cream. The kose one is for night treatment.
Avene water = for when I have breakouts. Put it in the fridge, spray on cotton, compress your acne with it.
Evian water = this helps when I need to retouch my make up or just to freshen up my skin during the day when I do not wear make-up.
Serum for eyebrow & eyeleashes = apotcare optibrow & optilash -> I notice as I grow older I need to care more about my eyebrow & eyelashes, especially with the usage of mascara & brow pencil/anything else with similar function.
Face mask = Garnier pure active matcha, it helps with cleaning the pores -> I don’t know if this is available in your country even though it is Garnier’s product.
Face mask when I got breakout = I use local brand
Exfoliate = usually I go for facial treatment, the clinic is a franchise from Japan and they use their own products. But because of the pandemic, I’m a bit worry with going for facial every month even though the clinic is now reopen with health protocol, so when I feel my face skin really need to exfoliate I create my own face scrub: 2 tbsp of plain roasted rolled oat, a pinch of cinnamon powder, cold plain skimmed milk just enough to soak the oats. I like to exfoliate before cleansing. Don’t overdo with the cinnamon or you might feel burning sensation on your skin. Or if you have super-sensitive skin, better don’t use cinnamon at all.
I'm not a huge fan of kbeauty sunscreen.. they usually add loads of essential oils and plant extracts to it and some consumers like me irritates my skin .. in the first place its a sunscreen not a moisturizer that will be left onto skin for the whole day
@@abd12459 hmm maybe you should watch Liah Yoo. She has many videos about sunscreens and sunblocks. She goes into detail and explains very well about what you should look out for.
Not only korean suncreens but other kinds as well so I'd say give her a try and see if that helps you find a good suncreen whethers it's Asian or western ones.

I suddenly want to go back to my everyday face washing after watching their facts
I loved watching this video, these ladies are awesome and so direct. I really look forward to seeing them again.
I am slightly jealous of those who started getting acne in their 30's. Literally spent what feels like my whole life battling acne. The only plus side is that I already knew everything in this video and I know what works with my skin. Vitamin C serum and a good diet (especially no high fructose corn syrup) have been the best for me, if only I knew that in my younger years.
I'm hearing all sorts of things that are deemed "necessary" but I've never even heard of them. Like what are serums?! I just use cleanser, rinse it with water, then put on some cream with spf. My skin is doing fine. The skin is a smart organ that can maintain itself
I love Ni’Kita Wilson’s hair! I wish my hair could be that pretty! 😄
I used to over wash my face when I started having acne in my teens. This went on for years until one day I thought maybe I'm overdoing it and maybe I'm stressing too much over it.
So I tried to become more gentle on my skin and my self (not stressing over my acne). AND IT WORKED!
I get pimples again from time to time when I neglect my sleep, touch my face too often, or go through really stressful times but they're now rare and more manageable compared to my teens.
So helpful thankyou!
Also, the asian lady has such beautiful skin :o
So does the Black lady 👁️
I got a weird eczema on my eyelids last year. I never got eczema before. I was 21 at the time. Not a full adult yet, but I was super surprised because I thought once you crossed the puberty threshold, you didn't have to worry about that. Thankfully I have under control. It pops up every now and then but I can't feel it. It used to be BAD my eyelids would be in so much pain!
Question!: Now that we have to wear face mask, I'm getting breakouts around my chin and mouth area. What can I use or apply when wearing my face mask?
Use cloth mask instead of the normal one. It reduces my breakouts.
After you eat or drink something ( like tea/coffee or anything that not just water) clean your mouth area. Also change your cloth mask every 4 hour.
My dermatologist told me 20 yrs ago to wash my face with cetaphil liquid soap and lotion at night and wipe with a damp cloth in the am. I use Retin-A once a week to exfoliate. And I LOVE Black Girl Sunscreen. I told all my friends black and white about it and they love it. It disappears, is light weight and has NO odor so it works for everyone.
Wonderful women explain complicated things using simple words.😉✌️🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎 I love it!

Ok, so the video was pretty cool and all, but, can we stop a second at 11:28 were there's that girl whose salad just told her a joke ???
I was surprised that circles under the eyes were touched on! I tried a couple different things when I was a teen- creams, changing my sleep schedule, different diets, allergy medicine, but nothing seemed to make them go away. I've even gotten some comments about it from strangers, but I never got into the habit of wearing makeup and I just can't be bothered enough to start now. Still, it's nice to hear from experts that yes, sometimes that's just how a person's face looks.
I wish they had included where to put your mask in the order on skincare when they talked about it. I never know where it should go and I’m worried I am inhibiting its usefulness.
You should use a mask directly after washing your face! If you use a mask before you wash your face, you will only wash off the product and its benefits when you use your cleanser. Whereas if you use a mask after you use other products (toners, serums, moisturizer, etc.) then you are minimizing the affects of the mask and you will also wash off all the products you applied before
@@tessadeighton4034 thank you!
You skip the products if you mask. Cleanse, mask, massage the residue in, done.
Suffered from acne when I entered last year of my senior up until college. Visited dermatologist for the first time and it was better. Worth every penny. Now, if ppl ask me what I used on my face. I never prescribe something because I could be the one responsible of it.
If suffering from something, get help! Especially from experts!
I wish they talked about stretchmarks :(
The best thing I ever did for my skin was to stop washing it with any kind of product. I now just use water and a soft cloth, which I believe has allowed my skin's microbiome to maintain its balance and reduce skin irritation. Most of the skin's health comes from within anyway, so I try to keep the topical stuff simple, including makeup, and make sure to get enough sleep, nutritious food, and exercise. It's been so much better than trying a bunch of products, some of which made my skin worse, and paying for some products that may have worked but I ultimately did not need.
Thanks for the informative video. I have 2 questions.
1. It is said that giving your skin a break from any skincare products every once or twice per week can help the skin to restore itself. Is that true?
2. It is better to use a foam cleanser than a gel one because you don't need to use a lot of pressure on the skin with the foam one. Is that true?
i think for the #1, this is usually done by people who had bad reaction to a product. as for #2, this depends on skin type. I think Liah Yoo has a video on that.
I think our skin might need to take a break from products w ACTIVE ingredients like retinols for a week or so and just have a simple gentle cleanse-moisturizer-spf routine once in a while. But you need to take days between using actives or using them interchangeably. Hope I didnt misunderstand your question, sorry if I did😬
Thanks for all the comments. Those are claimed as Japanese secrets for having wrinkle-free skin. I'm not sure if it is true or not🤔
VERY true about still having to moisterize oily skin. And it's funny how many people believe that myth. When puberty hit me at 11/12 yrs old, I started getting acne and my entire face became so oily that I had to wipe it with whatever I could find in between classes. Be it paper towels from the bathroom, my clothes, or just my hands. Or else I'd shine like a diamond but in the worst way. Could even feel when the oil was coming on and got bullied for it and the acne of course. I thought my skin was dirty and that I needed to "dry it out" and wouldn't be caught dead moisturizing lol. I also washed my face at least 4 times a day. About a year later, eczema appeared on my cheeks and got so bad I needed to see a dermatologist. Finally learned about the importance of moisturizing and not over washing your face. Because my skin wasn't used to moisturizers, the doctor did say that my face could get worse before it gets better, but I noticed an improvement on everything almost immediately! It didn't take long for the eczema, excess oil AND and acne to subside! After a year of terrible skin, I finally got things under control and the only changes I made were moisterizing regularly, and only washing my face morn and night. Plus now I use sunscreen everyday, even if the suns not out. Spread the word people! KEEP CALM AND STAY MOIST. 😂
i’m coming back to this. so i can figure out what i need to buy.
You know you watch and read so much on skincare when you know all the answers already. I also recommend The Japanese Skin Care Revolution book from a Japanese lady. One thing that hit me was that she said woman that wear makeup are so delicate and precise about putting on makeup. But when it comes to removing it we are not as gentle.
And. Yes. Those Dr. Dennis Gross pads changed my skin. Expensive. But worth it. I cut them in half to get double the product.
No matter what the weather is out, I wear sunscreen. My family makes fun of me. Then the other day we went out and it was cloudy b/c I wore sunscreen I was the only one who didn't get sunburn. Who's laughing now?!
@@legrandliseurtri7495 that is why I just wear sunscreen when I go out, I am a homebody.
@@dramaqueen16ism Right, I forget that some people don't go outside every day.
When I was a teen I used to wash my face constantly with face wash and put on toner and foundation. I would fuss over a pimple for minutes. Took me 30 minutes to an hour to get ready and all I wanted really was to sleep in. Finally I gave up because a month of doing my morning routine is the equivalent of a day wasted. So I started not caring about what I looked like what everyone would think of me, if I had acne or not and it actually took a lot of the weight off being a teen. I only washed my face with water from then on and I've had no major acne. Not caring if I had acne or not also stopped me from picking at my face and causing more acne.
