Kelly, there is not a more coherent, helpful and respectful skin care mentor than you in the whole internet. Thank you for your videos.
Wow, thank you, I'm so glad my content resonates with you!
I agree! I’m just speechless after this video. I can’t speak highly enough on the knowledge and presentation skills shown in this and other videos I’ve seen. Thank you so much for all you do to bring us this wonderful bank of knowledge.
What you said about hydration 🔥🔥this is SO true. Hydration and humectants are really absolutely fundamental and crucial for the skin’s integrity. There is in my mind almost never too much hydration and that’s why I adore essences and toners and layering multiple thin layers of hydration. It makes a huge difference on the overall skin health and the glowiness of the skin. I have combo, inflammatory prone acne skin and which tends to easily get dehydrated and very sensitive and hydration is my favorite thing, I adore essences and toners; to plump my skin (i am almost 39) and honestly i have very little wrinkles and i am pretty sure this has to do with skin hydration and obsessive daily wear of spf 50 plus reappliying it thouroughly.
It's underrated for the impact it makes on keeping skin smooth and firm!
@@KellyDriscoll absolutely! And it’s a very good preventative measure for little fine lines to not deepen and become permanent, and even just lines that are already there, simply plumping the skin with humectants make them lot less visible.
Kelly! You really knocked this one out of the park! I related to every single one of your points, all gleaned through my own bouts with broken barriers and overblown credit card bills. A few thoughts to corroborate your observations:
#1: Double-cleansing is fine, but I felt like I HAD to do it, even though I'm a guy who doesn't wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen. Since I streamlined to a single gentle cleanser for a decent duration every night, my skin has been happier. Do it if you NEED it; otherwise, skip it if your skin is doing fine!
#2: I did eventually learn not to let all my products dry down. For me, it came down to I just didn't like the extra "friction" of fingers swiping across a mostly dry face. Plus, it's faster!
#3: Hydration makes everything better: better absorption, better plumpness, delayed/minimized onset of static lines, better glow, and just a better all-day feel. But you CAN overdo it, so find your sweet spot.
#4: How many winter breakouts did I have trying to find the right RICH moisturizer (because I thought that's what I needed) when the reality is my skin LOATHES products with too many fatty acid barrier constituents. For me, five ceramides, cholesterol, and other fatty acids is just TOO much; I get irritated skin and red bumps. It's funny that you flashed the Vegreen 730 moisturizer as that segment began, because that's what I found works for MY skin all year long. It's a PERFECT mid-weight smear. So don't buy what you THINK you need; buy what your skin actually LIKES.
#5: Seasons do matter. Find some go-tos for every annual shift. And it's fine if most of your routine stays the same. We're all different and you may find you don't have to make drastic changes--just a few subtle tweaks here and there.
#6: I also had to try ALL the things, and it did not go well. Just because something has great marketing points doesn't mean you have to have it. Identify the products that work with your skin and address your specific needs, then stick with them! You will save a lot of money (and face-ache) in the process.
#7: I luckily never felt the need for super expensive products. I think I bought a $120 face oil once (that I didn't need because my face doesn't actually like or need face oils), but that was as far as it went. You can create a great routine from inexpensive brands, especially from Korea, which are often now cheaper than U.S. drugstore.
#8: Just because something worked for your favorite content creator doesn't mean it will work for you! So don't go buying wholesale routines before you figure out whether or not you A. need them or B. they will get along with your skin. Pay attention to your own triggers and weed out products based on your personal experience.
#9: Stop beating your face up. You don't need 8 actives in your a.m. and p.m. routines. Let your skin breathe. It can only take so much. Your skin barrier will be so much more agreeable and only goodness flows from that.
#10: Notice what foods trigger your face issues. How many times did I think a skincare product broke me out when in reality it was the crap I had eaten for four straight days?
I love these perspectives! Especially number 10, it's super individual but food and even some medication and vitamins have been worse for breakouts than skincare for me! Being in tune with that is so important!
I think the biggest thing for me is research. Then doing a basically an analysis on my skin and asking questions. I had pages of notes. Then I started buying what was for my problem areas and for my goals.
This is the way, be as specific as you can and you will likely come out swinging!
@@KellyDriscoll I have it pretty nailed down. I am learning more about what boosts Vit C. Centela.
What boosts Retin a. Urea! And. These findings are out of medical journals.
Fomo is what hits my sister & I the most! It is such a struggle!!!!
It's the worst! I have to stop watching content when I feel it getting too bad! Having sensitive skin and knowing what flares me up has helped a lot though!
A lesson that I learned, and something that has almost become a mantra for me when I’m struggling with an issue is this: sometimes the cause of the problem isn’t skincare, and oftentimes the solution to the problem isn’t skincare. My skin is very reactive, so when I’m kind of flared up, it’s easy to think “Ok, what product am I reacting to now?” Or is it the frequency of use, or something like that? And if I just do enough research, I’ll find that miracle product that will soothe my skin and calm everything down. But, of course, there are tons of other reasons why my skin gets grumpy. And if I start switching up my skincare, that might make the problem worse, or at least more confusing! Most of the time, the answer to my skin problem is for me to just chill out, stay consistent with my skincare (which is already simple and soothing), and-more than anything else-give it time. And best of all, it’s free!
Oh that's good! The solution isn't always skincare, it's easy to get caught up in the cycle of trying to buy our way out of an issue but you're right sometimes there's deeper stuff we need to be working on that could be influencing our skin.
Tip 6 FOMO control is so important to me, you're so right! ❤❤❤
What does FOMO Mean??
@@sfkat it means fear of missing out, like trying to get everything out there, especially when its on sale
@@ILYATRAGER Thanks!
There are some exceptions to damp skin & layering. When using low pH acids like glycolic acid or salicyiic - I always let them sit on skin. I do not leave my skin damp and immediately go to layering next serum. And the same actually applies for ascorbic acid (pure vit C) - it is best to let is absorb properly. Otherwise I do the damp skin as well :) But in case it is low Ph product, I wait few min up to 10 min.
Does this also apply to vit c derivative products mean for brightening?
@pocchakko I would think vitamin C derivatives are fine to layer faster (if in serum form). The lower pH products (or active vitamin C) is best applied to dry skin to avoid irritation. Glycolic acid is a smaller molecule so if the skin is damp it can penetrate deeper and possibly be more irritating. I feel it's more about the pH of those products which vitamin C derivatives should be more neutral and not acidic.
Thank you for this! Everyone needs to hear this!❤
Beautifully written, Kelly!
Love watching your videos while I get ready/unready 💛
Love being a part of your routine!
We always hear the skin RUclips experts talk so highly about the wonders of Hyaluronic acid for dry skin. You were the first one that I heard talking that it may not be so good for dehydrated skin. My skin is very similar to yours. Why did you say that “gel like moisturizers, with Hyaluronic acid was not good for your skin”? Thank you Kelly! I am learning SO much with you!
I'm actually going to have a video that discusses popular HA products and I go into why the ingredient isn't always super hydrating so look out for that next week. But in short, HA is a molecule that can pull hydration close to the surface of your skin and if the conditions are right (the environment is dry, skin barrier is weak, the moisturizer isn't occlusive enough) the hydration evaporates. So for me in the experience I shared here in the video, all those conditions were met and the HA made my skin dehydrated!
This might be an A, B conversation and I should C my way out but......I follow Dr Shereene Idriss and she states HA is such a buzz word that everyone is familiar with and so it sells product. It's frustrating it is in so much skincare!! She prefers glycerin and other humectants. Yes I agree if there isn't enough moisture for the HA to draw from, it will make your skin drier. That's why HA always should be applied to damp skin.
Thanks Kelly! Excellent video!! 😊
@@KellyDriscoll thank you for your reply! I’ll look for the video! Love your channel! ❤️
Great information, as always Kelly❤
Thank you, so happy you enjoyed! 💖
I especially agree with the last point. Having figured out an effective routine for myself, I have also discovered that my acne is directly linked to my gut health, hormones and nerves, so no matter how stellar my routine is, internal processes do their damage occasionally - I am simply more confident that I can manage it better. I have a separate routine for such occasions, know how long it will take to bounce back, know which ingredients I need to keep out of my routine for a while (niacinamide wrecks my skin when it's sensitive). And cutting out sugar and dairy has switched my acne-control to easy mode - it has made a tremendous difference.
That's amazing you figured it all out! Digestion definitely was a big one for me a few years ago, figured out how to nourish my body and it's helped in so many ways!
You have really been a great source of information - thank you!
I'm so happy to know I've made a difference, thank you! ❤
Reading reviews cures me of fomo. There's always a few people complaining about not getting results in an ENTIRE...week.
Skincare is a long game
Holla Kelly, I very much agree about the importance of hydration, keeping in mind what your goal is with your skincare, being consistent with what you use to see results in your goals and having a balance between the active ingredients and the health of the skin barrier, It is also very important that the products you are buying do not exceed your budget, because if you do not take that into account you cannot be consistent with your routine and all that learning also took me a long time to learn. Another thing that I have been learning is that my skin changes as the years go by, because now that I am over 40 years old my skin is more delicate than when I was 30 and I have to use gentler products to get the benefits I am looking for and another point too Importantly, sunscreen along with maintaining a healthy skin barrier is the basis for success in what I am looking for with my routine. I found this video very important and useful for those who are starting to put together their skincare routine. Thank you and I hope you are very well 😘
Kelly, this was such an amazing video! Wow, you are really excellent at what you do. You are so knowledgeable about so many different things it's truly wonderful! I love your channel, i don't chime in a lot, but I've been binge watching all your videos recently and the more I watch you the more I see just how skincare is so important and you really get into talking about amazing things that I properly would never know if I didn't find you! Thank you so very much for sharing all of this wonderful information with us! You are great❤
Can't wait for your next video!
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to me to know I've helped your skincare journey! ❤
the fact that i was so afraid of light gel creams were never enough for me then i just realized how many occlusive gel creams there are clicked me so much with your tip #4! thank you kelly
my observation/hypothesis is that switching things up works wonders from time to time. and I don’t mean products, but more so the routine itself. for example, I guess you as a skinfluencer with a lot of things to try&test can sometimes make your skin extremely happy by going shortcut, like simplifying and also using old favourites. while someone who’s very basic may benefit from adding steps&products. nothing is and endgame, but sometimes when you feel like your skin is having none of it, whatever you’re doing, you may want to try a rather contrasting route for a while. reasonably so, of course, not like getting two steps higher in tretinoin dosage or putting away all of the jars&bottles, but just really changing habitual routine while still thinking of your skin needs
Me too, all of this!
I've tried Cosrx Propolis Toner, Benton Green Tea Toner, Innisfree Green Tea Serum, Goodal Vitamin C Serum, Cosrx Peptide Skin Booster Serum, BOJ green plum cleanser, 107 cleanser. And what works the best for me is, Benton Green Tea Toner, 107 cleanser, Cosrx Peptide Skin Booster Serum, and I will repurchased these products as they work so well for me, and still finding and trying more products to add-on to my facial regime. It is a journey and trial I go through to what works the best for my skin.
Sleep, Lots of hydration on the skin, and my LED mask.
hi Kelly. what do you think of the beauty of joseon apricot blossom peeling gel?
For me, it was not following recommendations if my skin felt bad. My skin is sensitive and dry - i go at my own schedule - i won't get results if i obliterate my moisture barrier! Faster isn't better
I keep going back to propolis products cause its such a humectant.. i really want that lit from within glow, but im not sure it does it for me. I noticed with lactic acid and AHA i get a glow, but im looking for the same effect without an exfoliant
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support, Ilya! I'm so happy you enjoyed this one!💖
I'm in my 60's and totally can relate to all you said 😂
For me and my super dry skin I use a cleanser ( balm or oil or foam depending what’s on hand or season) then instead of another harsh cleanser I use micellar water on a cotton pad to get rid of everything then a cotton pad with manyo bifida toner which I use alone in the morning as a cleanser to get rid of my night creams .
Then yeah all the toners etc .
I find it a lot less drying and more gentle than an oil cleanser then a foam cleanser .
( especially in winter )
I think finding a gentle good micellar water for your skin is key .
Micellar water is so handy, especially for a gentle AM cleanse!
and... what suits others, even MANY others, may not suits me ! example : the StressLess from G&G that everyone loooves, on my skin, it stings !!!! while I can tolerate tretinoin without problem !!! mystery…. THANK YOU, 1000 THANKS for all your work Kelly. Kisses from Paris 😘
You are the best ❤❤❤
Awww thanks! 💖
I have mature skin and working on sun damage and hyperpigmentation with some products. However, your statement about the skin barrier resins with me as I am struggling with dehydrated skin. Any tips?
I have sensitive combination skin and I'm using the Skin 1004 probio enrich creme. I love the consitency, but I feel like i have a lot more blackheads and clogged pores than before. I also tried the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream which I liked, but my skin is not good with Niacinamide so I can't use it every day. Pleeease help me find a K-Beauty Moisturizer that doesn't clog pores but gives enough moisture, so my dehydration is treated. Love your content
I'm currently using Purito Dermide Relief Barrier Mosturizer but my personal favourite is Aveeno Calm & Restore Oat Gel Mosturizer
Hi Kelly, what do you think are the best serums and creams for skin elasticity? I have skin that can be dry and dehydrated and am middle aged. Thanks ❤
I recommend Innisfree Green Tea Serum, it is supposedly to be very hydrating and green tea has a lot of benefits, like elasticity and anti-aging, this serum is also the best selling serum from Korea. It didn't work that great for me, but it has work great for many others, especially those with dry skins.
I share a lot of info in this video ruclips.net/video/-_fNXbPY_tg/видео.html
This video shows some ways to put them together into a routine (example only, take your skin type into consideration) ruclips.net/video/lUoTyuhhVYk/видео.html

What moisturizer is that at 6:51??
The moisturizer that didn't work for me years ago was Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Cream.
How do you pack in hydration while trying to balance actives for acne but trying to not put too many products in your routine? That’s what I’m struggling with rn. I realized I was doing way too much. Now idk how to balance it all :( I feel like my skin needs so much.
Layer a lightweight toner on your skin a few times. You don't need to add a lot of different products to achieve a high level of hydration. The key is to find the texture that works best for your skin type! That way you can stick to the activities that work for you and not complicate your routine too much. Maybe Soon Jung Relief Toner or Round Lab Doko Toner would be good. Isntree Green Toner is also incredibly light.
@@KellyDriscoll I do use the isntree green tea toner! Haven’t thought about layering it. Thank you. :)
I just turned 42. Some of the things I’ve learned, I always double cleanse no matter what. If I’m not wearing makeup, I’m still exposed to dirt and pollution and I want to cleanse it out as much as I can.
Learn about ingredients. Educate yourself. Trends aren’t always the best thing. Do what is best for your skin.
Get acclimated with sunscreen early. It makes a HUGE difference later on in life.
Skincare can help so much, but don’t be afraid to get extra help from a dermatologist/spa. I had some serious hyperpigmentation and my skincare products just weren’t cutting it. So I saw the derm and I’m now on tretinoin and also had a CO2 laser done.
Mode isn’t always better. More retinol, more vitamin c…is not always key.
Consistency is key!
Your diet DEFINITELY affects your food. Sugar is horrible for your skin. Eating a diet high in fruits/vegetables and healthy fats will make you glow from the inside out. 😊
