Clear Acne without Acne TreatmentMinimal Acne Skincare Routine

So recently a lot of my friends actually come to me and ask how I cleared up my acne and how they should get some advice and clear up acne? The very first question that comes out of my mouth is "What does your diet look like?" The second question might be "How much sleep do you get in a daily basis? And also, what time do you go to bed? The third thing is something related to stress level. Fourth thing, inflammatory reaction inside your body. And the very very last question, that I may or may not ask you is recording the skin care routine. It saves you for your youtube find or wanting to find a miracle or wanting to find a answer from a certain skin care product.

If you really think about the cause of your acne is hormonal, its inflammatory its something that is inside that is malfunctioning. And your skin is just being an indicator to tell you that something's really wrong inside your bodies. I'm not saying the acne treatments or acne medications that you might be relying on are totally useless. They're scientifically proven to be effective and killing the P-acne which is the acne causing bacteria, and if you have seen results using these products, that is amazing.

However, I know a lot of you guys are relying on these acne treatments and probably acne medications. They might still get fresh new acne and they can't really get it to the root causes on what's really causing the acne which is inside your body. So if you have been using numerous different skin care products, numerous different acne treatments and you're not seeng different results, maybe your skin is telling you that.. All it probably needs is your tending loving care from you...

Rather than attacking your skin with fully force military armed with guns and bullets on this side. It just needs more love and respect. So today I'm going to provide you with a step by step guide. On how to start over a skin care routine or how to minimize your skin care routine.

It's something that helped me out tremendously, I know some of you guys saw results with it.. So.. There's really no harm in trying. So the very first phase is called "Skincare Fasting" It's basically cutting back everything to a very basic skincare survival mode.

We want to really rebuild the skin barrier during this fasting period or survival period. If you have been doing harsh cleansing, if you have been relying on strong actives or acne treatments... There's high chance that your skin barrier is damaged or even compromised, and you really gotta believe that your skin has the ability to regulate and to heal by it self so, we are really cutting back really minimal skin care routine to push our skin to do its job that it's suppose to do. Another goal that you want to achieve is probably Cutting down the obsession towards skincare products.

I know it sounds very contradictory to a lot of things but.. Skincare is not going to end of the us, it's not going to cure.. Just don't expect too much... From your skincare products.

Our main focus should be on hydration and recovery during this period and also, a little bit of antioxidants wouldn't harm as well. Even though I named it skincare fasting, you don't really need to cut out everything of your routine. I think your skin might freak out a even more and,  we are really resetting to a clean slate. During this period, I am kindly asking you to drop acne treatments strong actives, acne medication, sheet masking or any kind of masking included, sleeping mask or clay mask, spot treatment, or any kind of drying out your skin action , harsh cleansers which are too alkaline, which are too foaming.

Exfoliating, serums, you might wanna pause. Your skin care routine should look something like this. So a lot of you guys know by now that I have been skipping morning cleansing, I've tried this out for six months now. And many of you guys have applied it that you have been seeing good results.

It really helps to keep the skin care barrier intact. And then I follow up using a basic hydrating moisturizer thats really light weight. It would be nice if moisturizers would come with antioxidants or some sort of skin recovering or soothing agent. However, you don't really need to buy a new moisturizer to do this.

SPF is non negotiable so apply sunscreen or you can even apply a moisturizer that has SPF in it. Evening routine is pretty simple as well, I would do double cleansing because I wear sunscreen or makeup in a daily basis and I would follow up with a moisturizer that I use in the morning but, this time I would add a few drops of rose seed oil either hempseed oil to prevent trimester water look during sleep. So you might stick to this phase for about idealy one month or if your skin loves it. So your skin cells will turnover every 20 days so we want to align with that.

While you are doing the skincare fasting, I just want you guys to make the most to of it, and make this into a very transformative face in your lifestyle as well including: diet, sleeping pattern, and stress level. If you can manage that. Sleeping is very important in recovering your skin and it will help you immensely if you get really full rest. Try to stop relying on full coverage foundation, concealer here and there would be enough.

After you do the skin care fasting, you might have realized that, your skin would feel so much healthier, happier, and much more balance state. Now, it's totally capable of doing whats it's suppose to do, that we kind of suppress not to do. Which is self regulating, and self healing. I often get comments from you guys saying that you guys truly switch to a hydrating and nourishing skin care routine.

Walking away from acne medications and acne treatments and you realize that your skin was just dehydrated. And that's why it's just acting weird and your skin is so much clearer and healthier now. Your skin would really listen to you when you respect your skin. Phase number 2: Adding a supplement.

So skincare is a supplement at the end of the day to target whatever your skin needs. After fasting period you might have realize who your true skin type is or what your skin condition is, or what your skin really needs. If you are currently happy with the hydration routine,  keep on doing that. You really don't need to be greedy.

If you are going to add one more product into your skin care routine, I want you to guys to approach it more strategically. Introduce one product at a time into your routine and slowly increasingly build up the frequency and the potency of the active ingredient. If you feel like your skin is dehydrated, you can add something with hyaluronic acid or glycerin, [...] Or any type of oil that can compensate that. If you feel like your skin is just really congested or dull, occasionally age exfoliation will help tremendously.

Niacinamide can be a super hero for a lot of troubled skin type especially for those of you guys who have oily acne prone skin. It is a sebum regulating ingredient but, it doesn't do that by just simply suppressing it. It dimmingly to proaction of ceramides and collagen inside so your skin can naturally moisturize it yourself, and once your skin is naturally moisturized, it doesn't have a need to compensate by producing more sebum to lubricate your skin. So your skin is more imbalanced and also, it is an anti inflammatory ingredient, so it is great for acne prone skin.

So any kind of antioxidants will help to strengthen your skin barrier. So Vitamin C and Vitamin E is probably the most talked about anti-oxidant. However, when you're approaching Vitamin C, I'm not really sure [..] Acid or [..] Acid which is a pure form of Vitamin C to be the right fit for acne prone skin because, it can sometimes sensitize your skin, or it can sometime aggravate your skin. So if you're wanting to incorporate Vitamin C, I highly recommend you guys to go for Vitamin C derivative.

Such as magnesium glorified falsified uhh, sodium glorified falsified, and there are so many others out there. Phase number 3: Commit! You really really needs your patience to work synergetic with your own skin care routine. So if you found the products you love and you want to commit, have a good relationship with it. Don't cheat on it by moving around too much, and don't expect too much in such a short period of time because, things take time.

I'm pretty sure you will get the most out of it once you show commitment. If you guys commit to do this challenge, I really really want to see your progress your skin care journey. So tag me on Instagram @aboutliahyoo, tag me on Twitter @aboutliahyoo and #skincaredietchallenge. I will be consistently checking that hashtag and will be commenting on your post and really, encourage and support you guys on your journey, think we are consistently in a temptation to buy more products and I'm not a good influence in that category too.

But to be honest, skin care is a celebration of self love and self care, anyway it should be something you enjoy. If Trump says "he's gonna make America great again", ''m going to make skincare enjoyable again. YAS LIAH! I hope. So good luck, I really really hope it works, I really hope you guys see results of it, and let me know! Bye!~.

Beauty Edu Ceramides In Skincare

Hi everybody, so todays video come by way
of Facebook. I got a question from Christopher Ok and Im
like, okay Christopher! That is the BEST NAME EVER!!! I wish my name was Trina Alright! Woah, er, I dont know where that came from. Anyway! He asked a question about tallow CLA and ceramides. Because I didnt know a lot about ceramides and I wanted to learn more, I said I will make that a topic of a video.

What is a ceramide? They are a family! Awwwh! A family of waxy lipid molecules. Lipids are fats and oils that are found in
the body. They look a little something like this They consist of a fatty acid linked to a sphingoid
base. I LOVE that word! And they are connected by an amide bond.

There are at least nine major ceramides present
within the stratum corneum. That is the outer most layer of skin. They have conveniently named them ceramides
1-9. Imagine if you had a family and you just named
your kids one through nine.

This reminds me of when I was a kid and my
dad wanted to name my twin sisters Alpha and Beta. My mom was like, Yeah, NO. These ceramides differ by their head group,
the length of their chain, by the hydroxylation, which is the amount of OH groups they have, and
whether theyre saturated or not, so that is the number of double bonds. Youre probably wondering, where can I find
these ceramides.

I was certainly wondering that. You can find ceramides in the stratum corneum. Inside there are these layers of dead skin
cells, and sandwiched in between them is this glue, and this glue holds the skin cells together. It is called the interstitial lipid matrix
or intercellular cement.

These lipids form these ordered structures
called lamellar sheets and they alternate between water and lipids. And that lipid layer is composed of ceramides,
cholesterols, and fatty acids. These waxy lipids help us regulate our water
holding capacity, allowing a barrier that doesnt easily let fluid pass through
it. And this is important because we want to maintain
optimal water levels in our skin.

We also want to make sure we keep disease
causing microorganisms out, or for example if we come in contact with harmful chemicals,
we dont want to get them into our body. Ceramide levels increase as we get older,
so as we age we start to struggle with dry skin. The outer layer of the stratum corneum starts
to decrease, it gets a lot thinner and we start to notice fine lines. Also, people who struggle with skin disorders
like atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis.

Those folks seem to have a decreased level
of ceramides present in their skin. The idea behind ceramides in skincare, is
that if were missing ceramides in our skin, maybe we can just replenish them, by adding
them into products that we use. And so cosmetic companies have taken this
idea and theyve run with it. Theyve put ceramides into hundreds of skincare
products, that make claims like increases skin hydration, improves the cutaneous barrier,
prevents moisture loss, and reduces dry and flaking skin.

In our body their produced in the stratum
granulosum. That is below the stratum corneum. They originally appear as phospholipids, and
as they work there way up to the stratum corneum, There are these enzymes in the stratum corneum
that convert them into ceramides. But nobody is harvesting human bodies to get
these ceramides.

Instead we are getting them from other natural
and synthetic sources. Synthetics obviously come from a lab. For natural sources, They either come from
animal sources such as cows, but they are mostly extracted from plant sources like sweet
potatoes, wheat, and brown rice. What I also learned is that ceramides are
expensive, which is why we often seem them in high end skincare.

Natural ceramides are very unstable substances,
and because they are costly to obtain, synthetic ceramides are frequently used. Unfortunately synthetic ceramides do not penetrate
the skin as well, so companies are looking into technologies like liposomes to help them penetrate the skin. But I dont know, what do you guys think? Do you think it works? Do you think it doesnt? Tell me in the comments! From the studies Ive seen, so far, it looks
like ceramides do moisturize, but I havent seen any evidence that they moisturize better
than some of the inexpensive ingredients that are already out on the market. In some of these studies theyre comparing
ceramides to untreated skin -- and that hardly seems fair.

Theyre also using higher concentrations
of ceramides, then youd expect to see In a normal cosmetic product. Christopher, I hope I did an okay job with

Affordable Skincare & Haircare Kits - All Products Under 500-ShrutiArjunAnand

So today m going to let uh know about  the best skincare n hair products which uh can buy from market below 500 rupees. So lets start with today's video: the facial skincare products r on 25% off n remaining products on  20% off. N if uh remind that a few weeks ago i did  a review on face shop products , those products r also on sale so dn't forget to check them out. So if u want to buy them then this is the best time to buy them firstly we will talk about face wash so doesn;t matter ur skin is oily or combination or dry uh can use this, n as this is researched n developed  by dermatologist, people with sensitive skin can also use this the second face wash from my kit is: n mix some water in it n then uh can use it as a face wash n as this is soap free it has no SLS in it so if ur skin is sensitive n acne pimple prone uh can use this .

So now comes the Scrub, in my recent video i told uh that do not wash ur face more than 2 times so in the morning we wash our face with normal face wash but at nyt if uh will wash ur face with a soft n gentle scrub so that it removes all the extra dead skin and clean ur pores which may get clogged by pollution n dirt. Its best part is that its granules r very round in shape gentle on ur skin so uh can use it daily. Toner is a liquid kind of product which goes inside our skin pores n cleans them there so that ur pores doesn't get clogged thereby avoiding pimples n blackheads. If ur skin is oily then it vil reduce the greasiness of ur face and leave a matte finish.

It means it vil not clog the pores of ur skin. N if there r pimples on ur skin then it vil not increase them or spread them. Its paraben free n totally organic so must try if ur skin is prone to pimples n acne. If uh r young then apply primer on the top of moisturiser n then sunscreen n if u r 20+ then there is a necessity for using a day cream with anti aging properties.

Coz wen wrinkles r there they r difficult to treat but try to use anti aging cream  which fights under ur skin n never let the wrinkles to appear . This is especially for day time so apply a moisturiser n then apply this n after that apply sunscreen. Now again i have two options for sunscreen coz this is day cream plus sunscreen so uh may skip ur regular day cream n switch to this. Its speciality is that it is paraben free which r very harmful to our skin as this causes cancer.

This is SLS free Which means its safe for sensitive skin n also its non comedogenic which means its gud for pimple prone skin if uh live in ur home whole day long n do not go out in sun then use neutrogena oil free moisturiser. Its gud for oily n combination skin type uh can use this coz this absorbs extra oil n makes ur skin matte n oil free. This is also non comedogenic , allergy tested so if ur skin is sensitive uh can use this. Toner will remove the surface dead skin of ur skin n pores of the skin will also get cleared.

After this wen we will apply nyt cream, this will go deep in our skin n make our skin healthy n make sure not to massage this apply it evenly n u r done. At the same time it vil avoid any wrinkles n blemishes on ur skin. Summers heat is so scorching n if uh r too suffering same with the tiny little bumps on ur skin n if uh live in hostel n uh don't have time for DIYs then if uh want uh can apply this all over ur face but i like its spot treatment or little bumps over my face n then i sleep n in the morning uh vil see the bump gets supressed due to this it soaks the extra oil from the pimple n dries out that pimple to some extent.. Hot air also makes our lips dryn chapped, so uh may have seen this in many of my vlogs n coz its cover was removed so i was unable to show uh this but this is how it looks.

It has spf 15 in it n 100% natural n organic n a beautiful pink color. N it gives a true natural tint to our lips, wen applied two three times a day n it stays all day long, n looks likes ur lips r naturally pink now its time for body butter, so nobody is blessed with the skin type in which any body butter will work n turns their body buttery soft. Some people like us with dry skin, even after applying body lotions three time it seems to be like ohh god they never ever tried body lotions from birth.! Which is so much protecting that we apply it once in morning n it remains there  till night . It just melts easily on ur skin n leaves a mild  vanilla fragrance on ur body.

Especially if uh go to office or college, uh want a mild fragrance from ur side instead of garden of flowers. So it will be a nice fragrance not too hard not too light. Its too much chit chat on skincare now lets come to hair care: so many comments m getting about these products of wow. Its paraben free, sulphate free n 100% vegan too its ingredients r too gud and its shampoo n conditioner both r awesome if uh want to try any new or  organic shampoo so uh must try this.

Uh may use the conditioner of the same shampoo but i feel like in summers our hair suffers from too much moisture loss so this will give extra moisture to your hair so use a little amount of it n massage over ur hairs n leave it for 2 3 minutes n then rinse with normal water if ur hair r over dry, damaged n brittle , then leave it for 15 minutes n then rinse it with normal water uh vil see a tremendous change in ur hair by this. If ur hair r dry n curly then after washing ur hair , they will become too fluffy n then there is too much difficulty in detangling them n uh have to use only a little amount after washing ur hair to ur hair length avoid using it on roots use it on tail side of hair. N after that if u detangle ur hair then they easily get detangled n it is non sticky so it vil give uh smooth n shiny hair. M sticked to this hair oil,  i have recommended this to uh so many times if uh have never tried this yet then do try this out.

It has too many ayurvedic ingredients like amla , coconut n aloevera n these ingredients r too gud for ur hair n this parachute oil is cost effective too so must try it out. Our last product is hair brush which is very essential product. I have seen many peoples combing their tangled hair n the time there hair gets detangled they get a lot of hair fall. N if uh r suffering from hair fall problem then do try a gud hair brush i always prefer to use roots hair brush coz they r too gud they detangles the hair easily, n if u have more detangled hair then take serum on ur palm spread it in the bristles of ur comb n then detangle ur hair within a minutes all ur hair wud b detangled.

So thats it for this video, today m aiming for 5000 likes , i know its quite difficult but v vil do it anyhow. If i wud get this much likes then i vil b coming up with a skincare n hair care kit under 200. N if uh r new on my channel then do hit on the red subscribe button n bell button near it. So lets meet in my next video till then take care bbie.

10 Step Korean Skincare RoutineNighttime (talk thru)

Good evening everyone! Today, I am gonna share my nighttime skincare routine. This was highly requested, because I shared two morning skincare routines And everyone's like where's the nighttime version? So I'm finally filming it, and I decided to talk through each of the products that I use and keep it a bit casual today. So, I hope you guys enjoy this routine, and I hope you find helpful I'm gonna first start off by clipping my bangs and tying my hair, so it doesn't get in the way. First, I'm going to remove my point makeup, and I'm gonna use this a Aritaum lip and eye remover, and Cotton pads from Missha.

I really like these ones, because it's layered and there are five of them. But I only take two to save the cotton, and I basically shake this up and then pour a little bit on to the cotton pad, And then I like to just like rest it on my eyes for like, I don't know, five seconds You can probably see the fibers on the cotton pad, because I've been using a fixer mascara With my neogen one so that my lashes look a lot fuller But yeah, I just removed my makeup like that and I really like the Aritaum one. It's probably my favorite and I used the moonshot one before, but they don't sell that anymore, So... I do want to recommend it I've showed this product before on my channel, And I just went back to it.

Now after that I've been using a cleansing water because I just like to prep my skin before I use a oil based cleanser so... Now, I'm gonna use my oil cleanser, and I really like the ENATURE cleansing balm. This is probably my favorite. Just because it doesn't sting my eyes.

Just spend such a gentle one, and I did use up a lot of it, like, that's a lot for me. Here we have it, and then I'm just gonna gently massage it onto my face Like this. Before washing it off. I like to wet my hands, and I like to massage it one more time before completely washing it off.

I love double cleansing because my face feels super clean, and I can see my makeup like being fully removed. Cleansing is super important because if the foundation is still on your face you can break up from it. So, I like to focus a lot on cleansing. All right..

Now, I'm gonna wash it off. Now, I'm going to use the Glow Recipe blueberry balance gentle cleanser. This is one of my favorite gel cleansers because it just does a great job at erasing the makeup, and I don't know it feels very clean. It's super gentle, and I love it But if foams really well as well.

After double cleansing, I like to follow up with an exfoliator or a pore control mask and I'm going to go with an exfoliator today So you use the gauze side to gently exfoliate And then you flip it over for the cotton side to basically smooth everything out, But I love this because it's such a gentle exfoliator. The good thing about this pad is that you can kind of see if you're double cleansing is working, because if you look at the pad, there's no makeup on here, So I know for a fact that my double cleansing is working which makes me feel very happy. I'm gonna flip it over and then smooth everything out. After that, don't forget to wash it off with lukewarm water and then pat your face dry, because your towel might have umm...

Bacteria on it so cut it dry After I'd finished patting my face dry, I follow up with the Acwell 5.5 Liquorice toner this is super hydrating and I use a cotton pad first, because I want to see if my Cleansing was good enough, because if there is foundation it does transfer on to the pad. No foundation has transferred on to this cotton pad, so I know for a fact that my cleansing routine is amazing and then I'm gonna layer up one more time using this toner right here. For essence, I'm going to be using the Neogen real ferment micro essence. Look at how much I've used.

Yes, this is such a hydrating product, and I've been using this religiously and I like to layer this up around three times. Three, all right. Now, I'm gonna follow up with an eye cream. This is a sample from Lancome.

I've been really loving it and I actually checked the real price of this, and it's not it's not cheap. But I got a big size as a sample. So, I'm just gonna finish using that before using another and I'm just gonna gently put this on to my eyes around my eyes. Sorry.

And, finally, we have to MAKE P:REM save me relief moisture cream and this only has 12 ingredients and I've been loving this product like look at how much I used up already and I like to mix in three drops of the Triple C lightening liquid Because that will help brighten up my acne scars I loved this moisturizer. So, that's it for my nighttime skincare routine. Please give it a thumbs up if you found it helpful and comment down below What your holy grail of nighttime skincare product is and if you are interested in any other products that I mentioned I'll link it down below in the description box, and I'll see you in my next one. Bye!.
