Top 10 Cosrx Products Best Korean Skincare Brand for Acne

Today, I have my top 10 favorite Cosrx product in front of me.
This was a highly requested video ever since I filmed my massive Cosrx haul and to be completely honest with you guys it was very difficult just to pick my top 10 so I'm probably going to reference other essences and serum so let's get started. First, we have the Low pH good morning Gel Cleanser. And this is one of my favorite cleansers because it's super gentle.

This is formulated with botanical ingredients. It helps your skin feel very soft and also helps clear it because it's a mild acidic cleanser I love this my brother loves this. It's very gentle and affordable. I think this is like less than ten dollars so highly want to recommend this cleanser.

Next, we have the cosrx one step pimple clear pads. If you watched a lot of my empties, this has been featured in almost every single one of them after I discovered them and i love them because it helps exfoliate and it removes the makeup that your cleanser didn't remove. A lot of guys say " then why do you use that cleanser?"
There are days when i'm lazy and I don't double cleanse. This pad right here and helps me remove that extra makeup and it exfoliates.

I love how soft my skin feels after using this and it's definitely one of my favorite toners out there.
I have another toner and this is the AHA/BHA Clarifying treatment toner and you can tell i am almost done using this my brother absolutely love this so actually he basically used up the majority of this product, but this is basically a product that help reduce the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, and blemishes. It cleans out your pores.
I love how gentle this product is.
There are other toners that I tried from Cosrx and I think they're great i just love how gentle cosrx products are in general, but this is my favorite out of all the other ones because it comes from spray and also I just saw better results with this Sorry, Eunice from Wishtrend came in and I wanted to say hi, but basically I love this product -- very gentle and if you have acne and acne scars i would recommend this toner for you.

Next, I have an essence and here we have the Advance Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence And there are so many essences that I've tried from cosrx and it was really hard for me to pick one because the essence from AHA is really good 95... I don't know how to say it, but that was really good BHA and blackhead ones are really good, but I chose this one because i saw fading of acne scars the day after I used this product so if you have acne scars and hyperpigmentation I. Really want to recommend this snail product this help moisturize your skin your skin will feel super smooth afterwards and it's just another product it's just another holy grail product of mine. After the essence, I like to follow up with a lotion and this is the oil-free ultra moisturizing lotion with birch sap and as the name says it is ultra moisturizing.

I love this product because I have dry skin, but people who have oily skin like my brother he fell in love this product because it's oil-free very gentle and moisturizing for this skin as well. So during the wintertime I like to use this and another moisturizer afterwards and this one is the advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream and again i love snail products because i have acne scars and snail products definitely helped fade that. And I am seriously almost done using this moisturizer. It's super moisturizing.

On the packaging it also says that it reduces the appearance of wrinkles definitely one of my favorite moisturizers. I plan on sharing my top 10 in the future this is definitely on that list. Definitely want to recommend it! On days I want extra moisture,
I follow up with a overnight mask. You can skip it and go straight to the mask but because i have dry skin, i like to use the lotion, a cream, and then like an hour later I really do this before I go to bed.

This is Rice Overnight Spa Mask and this might surprise you because you guys know that i love the honey one, but i have been using the rice one every single day and I must say I like it more than the honey one because it really brightened up the skin. The honey one helped with the acne scars and I. Feel like they're both great products but right now, i'm in love with the rice one. Next, we have my all-time favorite products from Cosrx and it is the Centella Blemish Cream.

My brother calls this the MVP cream and a lot of you guys comments that to it seriously just a great product if you have acne or acne scars this help fade it. It's one of my favorite treatment for acne along with pimple patches A lot of you guys ask me when you should be using this i use it after all of the products at the very end and my brother does it this way to and the next morning you'll notice that a lot of your pimples and acne scars will be faded and treated. So definitely a great product if I have to recommend like one product from cosrx it would be the Centella Blemish Cream. So next, we do have the Acne Pimple Master Patches.

And these stickers, I am amazed because they actually help with your cystic acne and after you put one of these stickers on
the next day you'll notice that that area will be calmed down and if you had a rising pimple or a zit
It actually takes out all that gunk. So I love these patches and this is actually like my fifteenth package because I go through these so quickly and my brother loves them too. Cosrx is another brand that is the only brand, the only Korean Skincare brand that my brother fell in love with so the a lot of products like this this... Are all approved by my brother as well.

Okay, finally we have Aloe Soothing Sun Cream This is one of my favorite products because it's a very moisturizing sunscreen. A lot of you guys ask me "do you like the Klairs one? Innisfree? Missha? Neogen? Kicho? All the sunscreens that I mentioned on my channel are really good and sunscreens in the past broke me out,
but the ones I mentioned on this channel didn't. It just depends on your preference if you want a moisturizing one, I would go with this. If you want something that kind of helps with the redness, the klairs one! If you want something watery, i would recommend the Missha or Neogen.

So it really depends on the preference but the Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream something is one of my favorites because it's a very light sunscreen it doesn't smell like a sunscreen it doesn't leave a white cast and that's what I look for in a sunscreen I want something that is very lightweight, but very protective when it comes to suncare. So these are my top 10 Cosrx products
these are my favorite I actually had a hard time picking ten because for essence, i really like the blackhead one, the BHA one, the A-Sol, honey overnight Mask, I love the aloe cream as well... There's just so many Cosrx products that i fell in love with, but these are my top 10. Cosrx is actually one of my favorite Korean Skincare because they're very gentle and really good for acne.

A lot of you guys ask me is ok if you're in high school or junior high
my cousins (who are young) with acne actually love cosrx because the products are very gentle and very helpful for their acne prone skin so highly want to recommend cosrx I'll be linking all the products in the description box
If you have any questions please ask down below in the comments
I'll try my best respond to you guys I'll see you guys in my next video.

The Ten Commandments of skin care! (aka, How to not ruin your skin)

Hello again, everyone. Today we're going to
talk about the ten commandments of skin care. And, just before I get started, this is not
any sort of religious commentary - I just thought this was a good vehicle to deliver
these tips to you. So, don't take it too seriously, but listen to the information and take from
it what you will.

So, the ten commandments of skin care. These are the hardcore rules
about how not to ruin your skin and how to keep it healthy and how not to damage it and
how to slow down the aging process and to just have awesome skin. Commandment number
one: thou shalt not touch your face. Now, obviously, I'm not talking about washing your
face and applying your products, I'm talking about picking at your skin, I'm talking about
scratching, I'm talking about self-extraction.

Any sort of extraneous touching of the face
is something you don't want to do. First of all, the temptation to pick at the irregular
surfaces and textures on your skin is totally normal; you feel something unusual and your
natural impulse is just to try and get it off or to mess with it. The problem here is
that you have a lot of dirt and bacteria under your nails and on your fingertips and when
you're scratching at the skin you can create little tiny wounds in the skin through which
the bacteria and dirt and oil and all of the gross stuff on your hands can enter. And if
you're picking at something like a blemish, you're just going to make the problem worse.
That's a very good way to give yourself a scar.

If you're picking at a little bump on
your skin or a little pimple, it might have healed perfectly fine on its own, but by you
picking at it and scratching at it and messing with it, you're making it that much harder
for your skin to heal itself. Now, a tip to help you stop touching your face. First of
all, keep your nails short. If you have long nails and you're scratching your face, this
should be a no brainer.

Keep your nails as short as possible and also keep them manicured
because when you put polish on the nails you kind of dull the edge, so you don't have this
sharp edge and it's much harder to actually scratch your skin with polished nails. So
that's a tip that I recommend everyone and that's actually something that helps me, because
I used to have this problem. I am a kind of compulsive person and I, you know, if I feel
a bump, I'm like gonna -- Aaah! I'm gonna freak out on it. I get it.

I totally understand.
But, don't do it. Commandment number two: thou shalt exfoliate gently. This is something
I see a lot of as well, people who use scrubs at home who are very overzealous with them
and push really hard when they're trying to exfoliate, will often get really tiny broken
capillaries all over their face. It's unfortunate because you're really not accomplishing that
much with a scrub to justify the amount of damage that you're doing.

Scrubs are not that
great at exfoliating, they're good at getting off like little flaky surface bits and that's
why you think that they're doing a really great job. And for younger people, that's
fine, you know, you can use a scrub to even out your skin texture and that's totally cool.
However, be very gentle about it. There's no benefit to really grinding a scrub into
your skin. You're just damaging your skin.

Scrubs, like I said, are not that effective,
so there's no benefit to going really really harsh with them. You can use a scrub with
a washcloth, with a clarisonic, with any kind of face brush, just do it very very gently.
And it's not really not good for your skin to exfoliate that aggressively, you're going
to be more prone to sun damage, dehydration which means more prone to skin infection and
it just doesn't look very good if you're constantly peeling, so I would recommend doing a low-strength
AHA, if you're going to use AHAs, use a low-strength, if you're using BHAs, use a low-strength,
start as low as you can and work up. You need to start low, otherwise your skin is going
to slough too fast and it's going to get irritated. And irritation is the enemy of skin, you want
to avoid irritation at all costs, that includes exfoliating.

So, if you over-exfoliate your
skin, it can get irritated, it can get hyperpigmentation, more sun damage, dehydration, premature wrinkling,
you can lose elasticity. Irritation is absolutely the worse thing for your skin so avoid it
at all costs. Now, word on retinol, use it in cycles, do not use retinol continuously.
I've seen some people who do this because they like the very dramatic results that retinols
can give and they end up with this very shiny, translucent, waxy-looking skin. And that's
not healthy.

Your skin may be smooth as a waxed baby's bottom, but I'm telling you,
it's not healthy. When your skin gets into this state, it's really like on the verge
of being extraordinarily irritated and any tiny thing can set it off. It may be irritated
like just up to the point where you're going to see an extreme reaction and then any tiny
little thing can set it off and you can get like horrible redness, rosacea-type acne,
like this sort of like cracking, awful appearance and it's painful. And I've seen this and I've
had it happen on small areas of my face before.

It's really really unpleasant and, given everything
I've just said about irritation, you want to avoid it at all costs. Number three: thou
shalt not wax while exfoliating. Basically, what this means is if you are applying like
and AHA or a BHA or a retinol or, most importantly, if you're using acutane, do not get waxed.
Acutane, you can't get waxed anywhere on your body, but if you're applying your AHA's to
your face, don't get waxed anywhere on your face. I've been using a 5% AHA and with my
skin texture I know for a fact that if I tried to wax, it would lift my epidermis.

This is
what people refer to as a "burn" when they get waxed and it's not a burn, that's not
at all what it is, what it is is your epidermis lifting off. And that sounds super scary and
it kind of is, but when you think about the anatomy of the skin, it makes perfect sense.
The epidermis is like a dry layer of hard keratin cells that are stacked in like a brick
wall type formation, and when it's not prepared properly or when it's in a sort of "loose"
state, if you will, from exfoliation, the whole thing can lift right off. You can lift
off the epidermis and expose the new skin below which is very sensitive and it will
basically scab over and can create scars. So, don't do it.

As a professional, I always
ask every single client every single time: "Are you using any exfoliating products, Retin-A,
any type of retinols, Acutane?" I ask them this everytime, not just the first time, I
ask everytime. Because not everybody knows to say: "Oh yeah, by the way, I've just added
this new glycolic." And it's not everything, like a glycolic face wash is not the same
as a glycolic leave-on treatment. But if you're using a topical exfoliating treatment regularly
or if you've just recently had a chemical peel or microdermabrasion or something like
dermaplaning, any sort of, you know, good exfoliation or if you're using a retinol -- retinols,
you've got to be very very careful, you can't use them anywhere near the application. So,
if you've applied retinol for two weeks, you've got to wait a month.

You've got to let more
cells turn over before you go in to get waxed. Also, if you are getting waxed on the same
day that you have a facial, do the waxing first. Your operator should know this, but,
just in case, you always want to do the waxing first, then do the facial. This does not really
apply to body waxing, unless you are applying a lot of exfoliants to your body or if you're
using Acutane.

If you use Acutane, and I don't recommend Acutane to anybody, but if you do
use Acutane, do not get waxed ever. Commandment number four: thou shalt not sleep in your
make-up. And, this is pretty self-explanatory, just don't do it. I usually will allow myself
to pass out without washing my face once a year.

This has gotten even less as I've gotten
older, but back in the days when I used to, you know, go out partying, if I was so tired,
if it was so late and I just wanted to pass out, I would let myself do it once a year.
And I would always pay for it. My skin would be hell for a couple of days afterward, but
just don't do it unless you absolutely have to. And don't make excuses about it, don't,
you know, don't say, "Ah, but I'm so tired." It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter,
take five minutes, wash your face, remove your make-up and if you are so tired, so often
that this is a problem for you, that you are frequently sleeping in your make-up then you
need to look at your lifestyle and see what you can do to change your nightly routine,
to make a priority of removing your make-up so that your skin stays healthy. And it's
not just about removing your make-up, you need to wash your face.

You need to introduce
water into your face and then put on something to hold that water into your skin for it to
be healthy. Commandment number five: thou shalt not put dirty things on your face. This
applies to: make-up brushes, fingers, phones, make-up sponges, make-up, any sort of dirty
old make-up. If you have a compact with a sponge in it, that sponge is meant to be temporary,
that is not supposed to be a permanent tool for you to use indefinitely, until you use
another product.

That's a very good way to ruin your products and also ruin your skin.
You can buy replacement sponges for pretty much any type of compact at the drugstore,
at the beauty supply store, just swap them out, you know, five days at most, if you're
using it everyday during a work week, you know, even that, if you are really good about
swaping this stuff out, you can do it every other day, everyday. Every day is not necessary,
in my opinion, but every other day, if you are really really good at this stuff, otherwise,
try to do it at least once a week. For brushes, do a spot clean every time you use them, deep
clean them, you know, once a month or so and you'll be good. For phones, try not to ever
talk on your phone this way unless you absolutely have to.

Try to use a headset, try to use
alcohol as often as possible to clean the surface of your phone. They're introducing
all the bacteria from your hands and from whatever else they've been touching. Try as
much as you can to either use a speaker phone or to use a headset. Commandment number six:
thou shalt avoid fragrance.

And I've been talking about this a lot lately and for a
good reason. Fragrance is the enemy of skin. There is no benefit at all to using fragrance
other than to amuse you. And companies have been doing this for a very long time and it's
a very outdated concept.

There is no reason to have perfume in skin care or in make-up.
Some people like it, most people are like: "Oh and it has a smell, I don't mind it so
much" or "I hate the smell but I'll use it anyway." But companies still use this party
line of: "Well, women want perfume in their cosmetics." It's really not true, I don't
think they've actually asked anybody and they certainly haven't asked anybody who knows
better. A lot of women don't know how harmful it is to put this stuff on your face. This
goes back to the whole "Irritation is the worst possible thing for your skin." Fragrance
is the number one irritant in all products. There is nothing worse for your skin.

Except,
you know, maybe pouring alcohol on it. But as far as, like, daily use goes, fragrance
is the worst thing in all of your products. Forget parabens. Parabens have not been scientifically
proven to be harmful, and I will speak about this later.

But fragrance -- fragrance is
something that we absolutely know, one hundred percent, for a fact, is harmful to the skin.
So make that your priority. Make that the priority in your skin care. Eliminating products
with fragrance 'cause that's the worst thing. And also, just so you know, fragrant plant
oils, like lavender oil or eucalyptus or peppermint or, you know, any of those kinds of oils -- those
are fragrance too.

There is no benefit to putting these natural products in your face.
There's no -- there's no great reason to do it in nature. I don't think that our cavemen
ancestors were putting these types of things on their face. It's just not something that
happened. Just because it's natural doesn't mean that it belongs on your face.

Commandment
number seven: thou shalt not use tanning beds. Ever. Don't do it. Commandment eight: thou
shalt eat less sugar and drink less alcohol.

Now sugar has a very strong connection with
premature aging. This is something that's only really making its way into the mainstream
now. But sugar is connected to something called glycation. I'm not going to get too far into
what that is because it's going to be really long.

But just know that sugar leads to glycation,
glycation leads to the breakdown of the structures in your skin that keep it firm and taut and
young-looking. So, it's something you really want to cut down as much as possible. And
alcohol is a particularly vile form of sugar. It's also very dehydrating.

It's toxic to
the system, in addition to introducing sugars into your bloodstream. So, whenever possible,
try to reduce sugar from your diet. If you put two teaspoons of sugar in your coffee,
put one teaspoon in your coffee. Cut down a half a teaspoon.

Try using stevia. Stevia
is a natural sweetener. I don't recommend any artificial sweeteners for any reason,
ever. But stevia is a natural sweetener that is no calories and is a good substitute.

I
find it to be a little off-putting if you use a lot of it, so I mix it with just like
a tiny bit of agave syrup or something like that. You can use honey, if you tolerate honey.
But mixing it with a tiny bit, not a lot, of a natural sugar kind of cuts the odd taste
of it but for the most part you don't really taste the difference. If you're accustomed
to artificial sweeteners you're really not going to notice that much a difference if
you start using stevia except that stevia doesn't taste like chemicals. Now with alcohol
I'm not saying to stop drinking alcohol.

I. Like to drink alcohol. I can't right now so
I have to kind of live vicariously through other people's enjoyment of it. However, when
you go out, try having one drink instead of two.

If you're going to have two, drink a
big glass of water. Don't drink five. Don't have five drinks. Just don't do it.

There's
no reason to do it. Drink your drinks slowly. If people are pressuring you into drinking
more, just say: "Ah well, I can't, I'm driving." And if they try to give you crap about that,
then they're being assholes. If you don't drive just say: "Ah well I have an early day
tomorrow." You know, whatever.

Just, whatever. Give them some excuse. There's no reason why
you should be pressured into poisoning your body by your "friends" -- people who are trying
to get you drunk so that they don't feel alone. It's really just something that you have control
over.

Only you are in control of this. Another thing that you should avoid, for the sake
of your skin, is drinking and driving. Death is not very cute. It's not going to make your
skin look very good.

And nobody ever looks good in a mugshot. Commandment number nine:
thou shalt not smoke. Duh. Just don't do it.

Next to sun damage, smoking is absolutely
the worst thing that you can do for your skin, so find a way to quit. Make it a priority.
There's so many reasons to quit. And I'm a former smoker, I know how it goes. I was a,
you know, young rebellious club goer.

I totally get it. But you need to eventually say: "Ok,
this is stupid, there's no reason to be doing this. I'm just paying tons of money to a terrible
corporate machine, when I could be spending this money on good quality skin care." Or,
you know, save up for a vacation, use it for anything. But smoking is expensive, it's disgusting
and it's terrible terrible for your the skin.

Smoking actually destroys vitamin C which
is a natural antioxidant made by the skin that helps protect from sun damage. So, not
only is the smoking itself terrible for the skin, but it's also going to speed up the
sun damage that you're getting while you're probably outside smoking. And last, but not
least, we have commandment number ten: thou shalt take action. It is no one else's responsibility
but your own to take care of your skin, just like it's no one else's responsibility to
take care of your body.

You are in charge of your life. Even if you are a young person
with parents who are telling you what to do, you can still make decisions for yourself.
They're not watching you twenty-four hours a day. You have a say. So, start good habits
now.

Do research. Learn about ingredients. Start reading your labels. Make decisions
for yourself.

Don't be told what to do. Even as I'm telling you what to do now, question
me. Question my thought process, question my credentials, question everything. Make
decisions for yourself.

Learn everything you can. Take the time to learn about ingredients.
Don't just get your information from marketing machines. Really learn about ingredients -- individual
ingredients and what they do. And finally, please just don't believe everything that
you hear or read or see on youtube.

Nobody knows everything and a lot of the people who
are giving you advice or who are trying to share information - they're not getting it
from a good source. And a lot of times it's heard secondhand or it's heard from someone,
someone's friend of a friend's of their cousin who is a dermatologist or whatever. Or it's
like these e-mails which get forwarded which is how the whole paraben hysteria got started.
Just don't believe everything that you're exposed to because not everyone is getting
their information from a good source. A lot of these sources have sort of dubious intentions.
And you just really should familiarize yourself with skin care ingredients, with the climate
of the skin care industry and the cosmetic industry to be able to make informed decisions
for yourself.

If you get nothing else from my videos that I'm going to be making, that
I've been making lately it's that you really need to educate yourself, take responsibility
for yourself and your own skin. Be in charge. All I'm saying really is take in all the information
that you are getting and use your brain. Make up your own mind and make your own decisions.
So I hope you guys got something from that.

I really don't mean to be lecturing you so
harshly. I get passionate about this stuff. If you have any questions, let me know. And
if you have any questions for me to answer in a future video, please leave me a message
below or send me a message through the youtube messaging system.

They have made it damn near
impossible to do that so go to my channel page and underneath my channel description
there will be a little triangular box next to my username. That's how you send messages
now - it's such a pain in the ass. But if you want to ask me a direct question that's
the best way to do it because then I don't have the comment restriction -- I don't have
that character restriction to answer your questions. Thank you guys very much for watching.
If you like this, video please give me a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't and I will
see you again very soon.

Bye..

This is an intensive motion and it's formulated to enhance Translucency in skin for it to look younger and healthier and this also helps prevent skin Pigmentation and the prints of freckles and it also stops the hydration also this item is suitable for all skin types So it's going to clear milky consistency and once you rub it into your face instantly it just feels so much more Moisturized the item is [very] quick absorbing And it's a very lightweight moisturizer which brightens and soft hands your skin nicely contains vitamin C inner product which is what prevents inflammation? Freckles and 18 spots I find out after using the emotion your skin does feel slightly sticky afterwards So I would definitely recommend. [You're] putting a moisturizer on straight away after using it But this product makes your skin feel amazing is actually won so many awards as well So definitely check that one out one thing I want to tell you guys is [that] for the more expensive Japanese? Skin care products what I love that is that you can also buy a smaller travel size products Just in case you want to try it out first and see if you actually like before buying the full-size products So I actually just bought travel sizes for most of my products this item is a skincare product that I have been using for years This is the sana Na Maraca on Portia De queijo sweet this product has won so many awards, and this is actually one of the first Japanese skincare products I have used when I first came to Japan [it] feels amazing onto your skin, so it's actually quite thick in consistency It's very milky, but it just absorbs really quickly, and it is so moisturizing [it's] very gentle on your skin and [uses] soy milk Which is very effective on hyperpigmentation? So the moisturizer when you apply onto your facing lights very easily onto your skin [and] since It's moisturizing is so light you can layer on as much as you want depending on how you feel It's also super cheap for this product and a little bit of the product goes a long way So [when] I apply [this] I only put a tiny bit onto my face and seriously you can use [the] product for a very long Time final item [missus] usedo perfect whip so this item is actually a foam cleanser And it's meant to take off makeup and also draw impurities from the pores So the foam is meant to protect your skin from Harsh cleansing motions So actually what you were meant to do is just apply a tiny bit onto your hands just a little bit and then just run It under water then rub your [hand] And then you should be able to get a little bit of [firmer] to your hands now of course There's not that much foam that appear So if you use a foam net or if you use a brush or a clarisonic, you'll get much better results [but] since I was just traveling I didn't have any of that, so I just use my hands So I put it all over my face to remove my makeup and my makeup removed quite easily so according to suceed Oh, this is an ultra Rich foam which dissolves impurities and makeup Effectively, so I put it this doesn't work very well however if you have heavy eye makeup like really strong waterproof Mascara [it] Probably won't be able to remove that so if you are using waterproof, Mascara I highly recommend you use an eye makeup remover first to take off your makeup and then use this onto your face it does feel Very light on my face, so I didn't feel my face dried out at all and afterwards. I my skin felt very soft It's also very very cheap for this product so definitely recommend it so that is it for the top [ten] Japanese skin care products you?

Teen Skincare Tips No One Tells YouDo's and Don'ts in Teenage Skincare Routine

Okay, you jump up to google and type in teen skincare advice if you'll come across a lot of advices saying that you should start Your skincare routine as early as possible and then some articles with even suggest you guys to jump on the anti-aging game ASAP and a lot of people would suggest a very extensive skincare routine and yes It's never too early to take proper care of your skin But that doesn't necessarily mean it has to do with investing in products Or you know going extravagant with facials and all that so today I just wanted to strip down and take you guys to the basics and share some teenage skincare tips Tip number one is to take a step back before you start anything or invest in any skincare products or learn about skincare products you Should learn about how our skin, and how our body works skin in our body is such a smart functioning system It knows how to regulate it knows how to rejuvenate and repair and restore everything by itself So it has something called seller turnover rate, which our skin naturally? Generates new skin cells and pushes all the dead skin cells to the surface of the skin And that's like our natural exfoliation process in teenagers your skin is already functioning at its best in a very Optimal condition and as your skin matures your skin naturally slows down in the process And that's why we need some help with some skin care products in easier terms that your skin is more like a memory foam so Even though you wake up with a really ugly pillow crease your skin is able to bounce back and kind of you know Resurface by its own in an hour the one major difference that I noticed Hitting my late 20s and nearing 30 almost is that my pillow crease doesn't go away for several hours You have a scar if you have a wound your skin is able to regenerate and heal That wound so much faster than mature skin. That's why your skin probably doesn't need that much help from skin care products a lot of you guys ask what my Skincare routine looked like in my teenage years. I gotta say I didn't really have any skincare tip to be honest I wash my face with water and sometimes use my mom's cleansing foam But I didn't have my own skincare routine and that's because I didn't wear makeup until I hit 20 years old I think I didn't really felt the need to instead any kind of skin Issues or skin conditions that is caused by wearing a lot of makeup and skincare was something. That's luxury It wasn't accessible.

It was an affordable the only beauty outlet that we could go was a department store until Misha shifted the entire paradigm like they released three dollars makeup three dollar skin care products, so I think ever since Misha happened You're seeing what you're seeing right now It does have a very positive effect in making more options available in a much affordable price tag well However the trade-off is that I do think it's kind of promoting a lot of people a lot of younger aged people To use products that's probably unnecessary yet and nowadays I'm seeing a lot of teenagers having their own extensive very very structured skincare regime And it does sometimes worry me because I'm seeing more and more Acne patients clogged pores congested pores, and I've been thinking like what is happening to our teenagers nowadays I think a very good example is the ordinary the ordinary has a very extensive range of active ingredients in very high like maximum Concentration which means that it's a really good news for a lot of mature skin who's been using that specific active ingredients? But they want to use something in a more affordable price tag and that's what the ordinary is serving having it $5 price tag that's a necessarily mean that teenagers like you guys should be using it and Jump on board of course is going to give you a very skin Transformative result I mean for instance. There is a vitamin C. 30% And there is 80 a 30% you Probably don't need it another thing that I suggest you guys to do is to take a step back from taking too much advice you Might be already following me and a lot of other bloggers, and if you do take a look at their own skincare routine it's much tailored towards their age their skin condition under specific skin type and their own goal in using that skincare routine And they might be using a lot of active ingredients which can work in their favor and also there's really no skin care products That's going to outsmart your skin when your skin is already functioning at its best Okay, so give a little bit more credit to your skin Is a good time to learn more and find out about your skin type and the easiest way to find out about your skin type Is probably to determine by the post cleansing skin? Result or skin feeling Results so after you wash your skin with a pH balanced cleanser and alkaline cleanser is only going to damage your skin barrier And it's going to give every skin type of drying sensation afterwards so anyways moving back you want to leave your skin without applying Anything on top for about 5 to 10 minutes Another credible source that I found online is dr. Bauman 16 different skin types and I'll leave all the online sources down below But she basically has 16 different skin types depending on the dryness and oiliness and the Resiliency of your skin barrier now if you do have more room to spend and if your parents are feeling generous visit a facial is aesthetician or a Dermatologist so you have a better understanding about your skin type and skin condition And what your skin issue is moving on to how to build and start a skincare routine? I have a full video on it, so you guys can definitely check that video out.

It's not going to be really different I will link it right here and also in the info box below In a nutshell all you need is to cleanse and moisturize and protect your skin by using a sunscreen Deliberately now the question is how do I choose the right product for teenage skin? I know there's so many different options out there in the market the problem is they almost sound freaking amazing It's supposed to do anti-aging that's supposed to combat acne it's supposed to do all the pore controlling and skin brightening distances and Dad now group them all together and ignore them for now now these targeted solutions are going to be effective when your skin needs it look for a product that claims to hydrate and moisturize well without any fancy ingredients look for product That's specifically designed for sensitive skin types so the good thing about finding a product that are specifically designed for sensitive skin Type is that they're oftentimes formulated without known irritants or allergies sensitizing ingredients or? Photosensitizing ingredients pretty minimal ingredients and on of that they're mostly very moisturizing and nourishing So I think this is the product claim that you probably want to look for when purchasing and shopping for skin care products Hydration is going to be the best ingredient for skin brightening Anti-aging acne fighting and poor controlling and sebum regulating and all that and I don't expect you guys to go through Individual skincare ingredients and once you start doing that a it can be super overwhelming B. There are so many confusing information out there that may or may not be necessarily true and see a lot of times these Controversy around the toxic ingredients out there it may be only toxic when you probably drink a gallon of it give a little bit more credit to the Cosmetic chemist so sit back and enjoy a little bit and giving that kind of self affirmation by touching your skin massaging your skin But do we need to invest in expensive products in teenagers that you probably don't need to Spend a lot of money at all like drugstore options. I grade their affordable Korean skin care products as well The only time that I would invest a skirt on some skin care products or they may we have to do with the active ingredient Formulation like how stable it is and how well it deposits And how well it goes and penetrates into your skin again? You probably don't need these kind of like super fancy Technology to hydrate your skin acne and teenage skin, yes, it's really really stressful But you have to acknowledge that it's coming from inside out your body is going through hormonal changes hormonal fluctuations So you might be better off seeking for a naturopathic doctor Holistic doctor or any professional who can guide you through and kind of help in bechler? Hormonal imbalance if you are already on acne treatment acne Medications you might want to stick with your dermatologist guide I know a lot of teenagers might start using benzoyl peroxide But you want to use it smartly a lot of people make a huge mistake by applying benzoyl peroxide wash benzoyl peroxide moisturizer all Over their skin even though their spots are only concentrated on their cheeks or on their jaw line on one specific area which is totally disrupting and weakening the skin barrier causing more inflammation causing more skin problems and Sensitivities and also if you're using benzoyl peroxide moisturize deliberately like really really well it can be counterproductive causing more breakouts if your skin barriers weakened I'll link a video about the skin barrier that I talked about down below as well as The acne basics down below as well and stress is going to raise this cortisol Level which is going to also damage or skin barrier, so stresses are another enemy that you don't want in your skincare routine I'm going to list down all the skincare Do's and don'ts on my Instagram at about Leah Hughes, so make sure you check that out I'm going to list out all the common mistakes that you might be making in Teenage years I sincerely hope this video helps some of you guys out there.

There's a lot of things to do, but yeah, just take care of yourself.

Take The Stress out of Skin Care

Our next guest says she's never lived in a big city before and now that she's here, she wants to look her very best. Hi doctors, my name is Stacey. I'm 44 years old and I'm single with no kids. I moved to Los Angeles from Alabama and it's the first big city I've ever lived in.

I absolutely love it and I would love to meet someone special to share this amazing city with me. I've gone on some dating sites, but I'm a little self conscious when I have to post my photo because, although I've never smoked, I have a few more lines and wrinkles than I would like on my face. I would love to improve my skin because it would give me more confidence and I would love some tips from my favorite show, so help me, docs! Because we believe in love and lovely skin, dermatologist, Doctor Sonya Batra, is here and together we're going to show Stacey and all women how they can look and feel great. So audience out there, do you think that we can get Stacey camera ready? Yeah! Yeah?
Well, I think we can too.

Doctor B, take it away. So Stacey, looking at you, you look great, but I do see the start of some of those lines and wrinkles you mentioned in the segment. You're starting also to notice a little bit of sagging and laxity and that happens to all of us as we hit our 40's. So tell me about your skincare routine.

I currently use four or five products on my face, but I can't really see a change and, honestly, using that many products can get a bit expensive. Yeah, and Stacey, it's not about how many products you use. What's really important is the science behind the products. If you use products that have really excellent science behind them you can set up a routine, you can have products that are proven to work and I actually have a great one in mind for you.

But first I want to talk to you because you mentioned that you're here from Alabama, you're looking for love. I know it can be stressful to find love in LA. Tell us about that. Yes, it most definitely is and maybe a little more so for me coming from somewhere where we basically knew everyone so it adds to the anxiety of an already kind of stressful situation for me.

Well, we're going to definitely talk about some of the things that might be affecting your skin as well. Well Stacey, you're already beautiful and you shouldn't worry because stress can lead to more lines and wrinkles and a great way to de-stress is to give yourself a facial massage. It's not bad to do a little self-help, it's quick, it's easy, and it feels really good. And it actually also really benefits your skin by increasing the blood flow, which plumps the skin, it helps drive out toxins out of the cells, you get more nutrients in that way.

This adds a lot of vitality to dull skin. The other thing I always like to recommend is chamomile tea because it can help you relax and when you're done you can take that teabag, put it in your refrigerator, leave it there for five or 10 minutes, and then you have a nice, chilled bag to put on your eyes to help de-puff and de-stress. And although you're on the dating sites, be sure to shut off all those electronics at least an hour before you go to bed, Stacey, so you can get your rest. A rested face looks rested.

A tired face looks tired. And a little tip, while you sleep, you can reduce those facial creases by sleeping with a nice, silky pillow, like this. How's that feel on your face? That feels awesome. You know what it does is decreases friction and skin compression and sleeping on your back also helps.

Your face doesn't wrinkle from the pressure at night while you're sleeping. I feel more relaxed already. (Laughter)
Well that's the idea. Okay, Doctor Batra, what else should Stacey do to get ready for that dating scene, here in LA, which we know can be a little challenging.

Well she really needs the right skincare product and she would benefit from using a serum that repairs the skin because as we age the lines and wrinkles definitely do become more obvious. Did you have something in mind? I'm here for the free advise. (Laughter) Take advantage of it! Absolutely, so I like this serum from Number Seven. It's called Protect and Perfect Intense Advance Serum because, like I mentioned earlier, it's actually backed by science.

It's clinically proven to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles in just four weeks and the results actually get better over time. You would apply it in the morning and at night after you cleanse and you can find this at Target for less than $30. Wow, that sounds amazing. I've been looking for something that doesn't cost a million bucks.

I can't wait to try it. Thank you, doctors. Well, you are very welcome, Stacey. And Doctor Batra, thanks so much for taking care of Stacey and putting her best face forward.

Alright all of you out there, how would you like some of the serum as well? (Audience applause) Stacey and everyone in the audience is going home with it today. Whoo! And we will be right back..

SKINCARE ROUTINE 2017

Hey guys, it's Annika. Welcome to my "Chann-ika." First, I just want to say I'm super f-in sorry about the lighting. It looks like f-ing trash. Today I'm going to be doing a video that has been so requested recently.

I'm not quite sure why. Maybe people just want some clear skin for back to school. But, nevertheless, I totally understand your concern. I love seeing people's skin care routines, personally.

Especially now that I've been getting some problematic skin. But it's natural. It happens during puberty, during that time of the month. So, what I use to take off my makeup kind of varies.

But right now I'm using the Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Cleansing Micellar Water. This is cruelty free. You can buy it at Ulta. And I think it's like 8 dollars.

And I'm just using cotton squares. I sound like a beauty guru. So it's a pump kind of thing. So I'm just pumping it.

And I'll use one of these pads for my face, and another one for my eyes. Actually, probably like two for my face when I'm wearing a full face. So what's the haps with y'all? My life has been pretty uninteresting, tbh. Essentially, I use two different face washes when I'm washing my face, just because I like to make sure that it's extra clean.

And since I wear a lot of makeup, I just want to make sure that I have all the makeup off. But I use the Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator and I also use the "Fresh" Purity. I'll show it to you, but I'm just gonna go wash my face at the sink. I f-ing wash my face like any other normal-ass person with hot water and then cool water to .

. . Like, close my pores. I don't know.

I f-ing hate myself. I'm back. Let's just not talk about how thin this eyebrow is. I don't know why, but this eyebrow doesn't grow, so if I f-- it up, it doesn't grow back.

Love my life. I just found this. I thought that I'd f--ing lost it. It's 8 dollars at Nordstrom Rack.

I'm pretty sure the mini size is like 16 dollars at Sephora. And I'm pretty sure that philosophy isn't cruelty free. If it is, then, yeah. This is good.

Like, go for this. But if it isn't, it's really not that great. It's good. Like, it washes your face.

But it's really not that different from any other cleanser. It's so similar to the Fresh Soy Milk Cleanser, literally any other cleanser . . .

[Burp] And, I like to use an exfoliator every night, unfortunately, since I have really dry patches on my skin that I really need to exfoliate. And also just like sh--. If I'm not using the Vasanti BrightenUp! Cleanser, I like to use the Ocean Salt Face & Body Scrub by Lush. This doesn't test on animals, obviously.

And . . . "Not virgin"? Da f--? This just smells like .

. . Like . .

. Salt. But I just wanted to quickly talk about some face masks and pore strips and stuff. So I don't do pore strips too often.

My favorite pore strips are the . . . Where are they, though? The Bior Deep Cleansing Pore Strips.

This is a pack with fourteen, and it has seven face strips and seven nose strips. I love these. I only have one left. And then, as for my favorite face mask right now, this is the Muddy Body Detox Clay Mask.

This was sent to me, and I was honestly like . . . I didn't really expect to like it.

And I know that you guys are probably like, "Oh, it just got sent to her." But it's actually really good, and I feel like it really cleans out my skin, which is crazy. I haven't used it like three weeks, which is why my skin is killing me. It comes with a little applicator brush. So what you do is, you dump a little bit into a cup, and you put a little bit of water, and then you put it all over your face.

This is my absolute favorite face mask f-ing ever. So I'm taking the Muddy Body Detox Clay Mask -- it's not focusing, because it doesn't like me -- and I have a tiny amount of water. You really don't need that much. I'm going to avoid the under-eyes because I want to show you guys these really cool under-eye patches, but .

. . This brush is actually super nice, as well. I didn't think I was gonna like the brush, just because I never really like the brushes that come with anything.

Oh also, I forgot to mention -- probably a really important part -- if you want to get 10% off of your Muddy Body, any purchase, anything from Muddy Body, just use the code "ANNIKA." I think it's in all caps. Where are the eye masks at? While this is drying, I'm probably not going to be able to f-in laugh or do any of that sh--. But the eye masks that I have are the Karuna Skin Renewal Eye Masks. So they "target dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines." "Comes with four pairs of eye masks." "One month supply when used weekly." I have not tried these yet, but I've been looking for some good eye masks, because the thing is, whenever I wake up, I just look so gross.

And on the first day of school, I just want to make sure that I don't look too gross. Oooh, this is cool. Okay. So it's like a book, I guess.

Queen. I'm suicidal. Okay. So this is what they look like.

I really like the way these feel. And also, they fit your eye really nicely. I also like that you don't just get one pair, you get four pairs. So I appreciate that.

"Remove backing and relax for 10 to 20 minutes." Damn. I'm looking like a snack. Okay. I'm gonna take these off.

Oooh, that feels so good. And I'm gonna wipe this off just with normal f-ing water. I legit don't understand how I went from trash to snack. Like, number one: Look at my skin.

The pimples are still there, but they're very flattened. And my skin is way softer. Karuna also sent me their Face f-ing bullsh-- . .

. Face Masks. So I feel like these are gonna be so good. These are for combination skin.

So I'm excited, because I have normal combination skin. Uh, hollow skin care routine. Alrighty. Now what do I do? I have such a detailed skincare routine.

It's really weird. I'm gonna take the Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Emergency Spot Fix. I like this for pimples that are . .

. Pimple-y. And then, for moisturizer, I'm going to be using the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer. I currently don't have a moisturizer.

I got this in my Ipsy bag a while ago, so I'm just using this. But . . .

If you guys have any good drugstore or "cheaper" cruelty-free moisturizers, please let me know in the comments. So many questions for y'all. But you can just use whatever moisturizer you want to use. This moisturizer isn't specifically wonderful.

Like, it's good. It's a really good moisturizer. But I feel like all moisturizers kind of do the same thing, so . .

. I'm going to take the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. You get 1.7 Fluid ounces of product in here. And this is the mini size.

I've literally had this for like a year and a half, and I have not run out. And this is only like 14 bucks for all of that product. Like, it's worth it. Basically like another moisturizer, but it's a mask, so it gives you the treatment that a mask does, but you don't need to wash it off in the morning.

When he nuts. Lol. What the f-- am I talking about? Last but not least, --- yes, the video is finally almost over -- I'm gonna take the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, and I'm going to put this on my pimples. Don't shake this sh--.

You can get it at Ulta, and you can also get it at Urban Outfitters. But essentially, it's like a weird f-ing liquid, and then some powder at the bottom. And you just want to go down to the powder, put that on your pimples. What does this smell like? It's almost minty, but not really.

If anybody knows how to describe the scent of this, please let me know. And this sh-- . . .

Actually, the Dermalogica sh-- works so well. I'm not even kidding. And this sh-- works so well, too. I'm just using both of them because I want these pimples f--ing gone.

But, yeah. I hope that you guys enjoyed this little skincare routine. This is super duper requested. And I'm sorry that's not a makeup video, but hopefully it helps some of you guys.

And maybe you learned about some new products that you were really interested in. Like, if you're looking for a new moisturizer. Whatever. My .

. . I feel like the highlights of this video, like, the things that you need to get are that Muddy Body mask. That will change your f--ing life.

I'm also a huge fan of those Karuna Renewal Eye Masks. And I really like the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. I just feel like those are really nice things to have in your collection. So, yeah.

Thank you guys so much for watching. Please comment, rate, subscribe, and keep on skin caring..

Skin Care Routine For Acne Skin

Hello my beauties ! So I get asked a lot on social media and just in general what kind of products should I be using when I have acne or pimples or when I'm breaking out so I thought why not do a video on how to properly answer these questions? So similar to doctors, it will be hard to give advice without physically seeing the issues so I have to clarify that it is very difficult to diagnose the problem based on just photos or what you're describing because I would need other information like your age, your lifestyle what do you eat? What do you do on weekends? I know, I know I sound like a stalker but I need to know all of this before I can evaluate your situation and give you the best options or solutions so if you watch my acne solution playlist on my channel you will know that there are usually a collective of reasons for breakouts and quite often it comes from within.Therefore that is usually the first thing I would touch on. What are you eating? Are you drinking enough water? Are you sleeping well? Are you sleeping in the right hours? In addition to that I also need to know the skin type you have, of course most often it's oily skin, but I would also need to see whether your skin is breaking out from something that you put on topically or something that's coming from within your body, then after that I will need to know what products you're currently using, and what brands you have access to so that you can go out and get them, because some brands are only available in certain regions and areas, and some products may only work better for certain climates and so on, hence you can imagine that there are many, many factors involved in skincare so that is why there are millions of videos out there about acne on youtubeland Anyways I hope this video will help you better understand your skin and what you should be doing on a daily basis if not weekly to keep up with your skin health. Number one, cleansing. Now this is the most important thing when it comes to having oily skin you need to make sure that you wash your face at least twice a day in the morning after you wake up and at nighttime before you go to bed sometimes when your skin is super oily and when you have the ability to you can wash your face during the day.

If you're going to the gym, you need to make sure that you remove all of your makeup and you have a cleansed clean face, because you know you will be sweating and all your pores will be open and your skin will be eating up all that makeup and you always have to make sure that you have a clean face before applying makeup as well, which is why you should always wash your face first thing in the morning, and so that all the oils and dirt that you have accumulated throughout the night needs to be washed off so that you have a clean canvas to work on, and at nighttime before you go to bed before your body goes into rejuvenation mode, and all of your organs are repairing and your skin is healing you need to make sure that you remove all the dirt oils and makeup off your face even if you didn't sweat or if you didn't wear makeup you still need to clean the day off. Now let's talk about the cleanser you should be looking for, for mornings you want something that is going to take the dirt off but nothing too astringent, I recommend cleansers with AHA/BHA. Or glycolic acid, this will gently remove all the dead skin cells and unblock pores to give you a brighter, clearer texture skin. So for nighttime when you want to remove all the makeup the whole day worth of toxins you just start with a makeup remover oil cleansers are the best way as they can get all the makeup off even in the pores, and the small crevices of your face, do not fear oil when you have oily skin as you'll be washing it off anyways find oil cleansers with antibacterial properties preferably with no fragrances or a nourishing properties double cleansing is not only popular but also important especially if you are someone who wears makeup, after removing the makeup you have to go back in and wash your face again with a cleanser.

You can either use the same cleanser that you're using for daytime but I normally prefer something with a little bit more exfoliation, so I can make sure that everything is off my face so something like an exfoliating cleanser or a clay cleanser preference number two, Toning, using a toner is pretty much like your safety blanket, so for those who are not so good at cleansing or washing your face the toner is here to make sure that it removes every bit of impurity that is left on the skin toners normally contain some percentage of alcohol so make sure you find toners that do not contain any alcohol as it is so bad for your skin especially if you have acne, it can irritate it and make it worse find ingredients with antibacterial properties like witch hazel, honey, tea tree or  AHA/BHAs toning every time after you wash your face is recommended just use a cotton pad and just wipe with your face and you'll be surprised to see what is left on it. Number three, treatment using a treatment product whether it's a serum or a mask - you need to make sure that you do this and you're consistent at it, once your skin is clean it is like a sponge it's ready to absorb whatever you're gonna put on next, for a daytime you want to find something that is going to treat and protect, find products with acne fighting ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and nowadays you can also have like masks that contain natural clays these are great for drawing out the toxins and impurities I recommend you use clay products on the skin at least one to two times a week, depending on the severity of your breakouts you can also get clay to cleanser products nowadays, that way you can use them as a mask and you can also use them as a cleanser when you don't have time to do the mask. Number four, hydrate, hydrate I cannot stress enough how important water is in your life but since you are using so many products that's designed to dry out the face, so you need to drink a lot of water to hydrate from within in addition to that, you need to also apply a hydrating moisturizer that is going to put the moisture back into the skin and keep it balanced so that your skin doesn't go crazy thinking that, oh my god I need to produce more oil to compensate I recommend finding products with simple ingredients preferably no fragrance, no parabens products with hyaluronic acid and humectants are great for oily skin, try to avoid oils or emollients as well, as preservatives. Number five, protection.

So you can get spa treatments that are also great for those super big open cut pimples, because once a skin is broken it is prone to infection as it is exposed to the air which is full of dust, dirt, bacteria and so on, so using a spot treatment or acne patch is essential that way you're not like rubbing your open wound all over your pillowcase or getting in your hair or on your sheets. And of course during the day you also want to protect it from makeup or any other stuff that you put on your face. Now using a sun protector is something that anyone and everyone should be using regardless of your skin type even if you have perfect skin and you have no breakouts you should still put on SPF to protect it from the single most dangerous source of skin problems the sun rays, the sun rays that penetrate deep into the skin will cause problems that you may not be able to see with the naked eye, however the damage from the sun is somewhat irreversible hence why I always say prevention is always better than cure trust me, you will thank me in about five to ten years!
