Basic Oily & Acne-Prone Skincare Routine and Essentials!

Күн бұрын

This is one of my most requested videos, so I’m happy to share a Skincare Routine for those with oilier and/or acne prone skin with a few tips and product suggestions. This is actually applicable to ALL skin types, of course adjusted to your own needs. This is a basic preventative skincare routine which addresses sebum control and the prevention of bacteria growth as well as keeping our skin strong and hydrated. Here are some products that I am loving, many of these are Korean products that I've been trying out for a while now and find them to be more gentle for problematic skin, hydrating and I love the ingredients! These also work really well for those in humid Summer climates too! Whatever our skin type, we need this in our lives. Whether you are dry/dehydrated/oily/sensitive, this works for you!

Good video! People with oily skin must remember that they should wash their face only twice a day. frequent face wash can lead to drying of skin which will send the signal to create more oil. This can be counter productive. Also, a gel based moisturiser is a must to maintain skin barrier.

Thank you again. My question is do you apply night time hydrating masks on top of your moisturizes or solo? Or what is the correct order, cleanse, tone, hydrate, then mask, then moisturizer or what is the order? Thank you so much! And also, if you can ever, please do a video on eye treatments, (not botox, not plasma) but on creams, serums , i have wrinkles under my lower eyelashes.

Renee, your videos are so good, I just want to cry. I greatly appreciate how you break everything down, talk about the actual science of how our skin works, which appeals to the science nerd in me, and explain the purpose of every single skincare product. Your attention to detail appeals to my meticulous nature, but your clear, methodical, organized way of presenting all of this information prevents me from wanting to pull my hair out. While you are an excellent salesperson, you don't pressure people, or insist on a one size fits all approach, and say that every person must have an expensive ten step skincare routine. Your focus is on the quality of ingredients and effectiveness of the products. I sincerely thank you for your hard work, and sharing your extensive experience and knowledge. You are demystifying and simplifying this entire concept, and we appreciate you.

@gothamista 8 жыл бұрын

I hesitate with recommending the pimple clear pads because it has a fair amount of alcohol in it which is not great for anyone who is breaking out or has acne. Those conditions can come with sensitive skin or dried out skin. A lot of people seem to love this product, so I think if someone is not sensitive and is using this product for preventative measures, it would be better.

After I watched this video I went to buy an oil based cleanser. I have sensitive oily acne prone skin and bought the Shea Moisture sensitive oil cleansing (the pink packaging). I thought it would be good because there are not harsh ingredients and no bad things in it. I was wrong. After 3 or 4 days double cleansing with this oil (followed by my cleanser), I got lots of clogged little zits. Seriously, over 50 all over my face. I was desperate when I saw it. I can only blame the oil based cleansing :/

@gothamista 8 жыл бұрын

Hi Renata, sometimes 'purging' happens when you start oil cleansing if you have very congested pores. Because your oil cleanser is drawing out the old oil to the surface of your skin so the comedones, black heads, white heads will appear. It can take many weeks (up to 90 days) for acne to form so all that stuff in your skin that can eventually turn into acne is getting pulled out faster. If the Shea oil cleanser you are using emulsifies with water then it will not clog your pores or stay on your skin.

@ikonora 8 жыл бұрын

Gothamista Hi! Thank you so much for responding. The oil does emulsifie with water, it becomes a little bit like a milky oil (if that makes any sense). Do you think I should continue trying the oil cleansing method? Maybe alternate days? What do you think? I really appreciate your input when it comes to skincare! Love from Brazil!

@gothamista 8 жыл бұрын

No problem! Yes, it should emulsify and get milky when you add water, that means it's going to rinse clean off your face, taking everything bad along with it! I just want to make sure that you're not getting an allergic skin reaction to anything. If there is no redness or burning and just comedones, then most likely it's skin purging which is a 'good' thing. Whether or not you continue is up to what you're comfortable with since you know your skin better than I do. cleansing oils really are great for your skin type but purging can take a while when there is a lot of old congestion stuck in your pores and it's a difficult stage to go through. I had it for a year!

No wonder why you are one my favorite KZfaqrs! They are not red not itching, just bumps. Maybe my skin is purging, I will give it a go and see what happens! Do you have any good oil cleansers recommendations to give me? Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!

I'll have to admit, I'm a little bit overwhelmed!LOL I've recently found your channel and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever found on KZfaq. Like in my entire life! Seriously, I feel like I should watch your videos with a notepad beside me, just to take random notes in order not to forget things later!LOL You see, I've been trying to watch as many of your videos as I possibly can. Btw, I loved this whole idea behind fermented skincare! And oh, thank you so much for answering my Luna 2/Cleansing Stick question yesterday! :) Seriously, I hate to bug you but I feel like I really need to pick your brain on this matter because I really-REALLY need some help! I'll turn 30 in January, I have combo skin (but INCREDIBLY oily on the sides of my nose, chin and forehead - like fry an egg on my face kind of oily!), but at the same time I have the most sensitive skin ever. I'm allergic to Vitamin C and a bunch of other ingredients, many creams give me contact dermatitis. Plus, to help things out, I'm a makeup artist so I wear lots of makeup everyday, something my very hormonal and acne prone skin hates. Nowadays I've just been using bioderma to remove my makeup (because they say we can skip the toner), the Luna 2 to to cleanse (with any random cleanser) and Avene's Tolerance Extreme to moisturize. But in a world with oil, gel, cream and stick cleansers, tonics, serums, vitamins, oils, moisturizers and whatnots, I don't know which products I should or should not purchase. I don't mind spending the money as long as I know it's the right thing for me, you know? Please, consider it an early Xmas gift (and a good deed to a total stranger) and help me! Pretty please?!lol xoxo

Hey girl! I'll try my best to help, but sounds like your skin is dehydrated which is why you're overproducing oil and dryish in other areas. Pls watch my moisturizers video, that may really help. The one thing I would suggest to no longer do (Pleaaaase!) is use bioderma to remove your makeup. It won't. Also, don't use it to replace toners because the formula has cleansers in it - not enough to cause issues but it's not as good for your skin as a toner is at balancing things out after PROPER cleansing by adding hydration, nutrients back into skin. DOUBLE-CLEANSE with oil based cleanser then the cosrx one in this video. That step alone will make a big difference to your skin. Moisturize with gel/creams that hydrate and don't burden your skin with emollients. I recommend a few in my videos but can't decide for you as I don't know your skin. Given the information, you can probably choose something that suits you.

@thaispromakeup6159 7 жыл бұрын

Gothamista thank you so much for taking the time to help me!! I'll try to moisturize more. I also tried oils like Josie Maran's Pure Argan but honestly I didn't see much difference...plus, my acne was worst and I didn't know if the oil helped it out. I never really used a toner before, I'll try to add that to my routine after cleansing. Is there a really good serum for sensitive/oily skin (or do you think that's a skippable step)? And in your opinion is it ok to use like two cleansers, like an oil based one to remove makeup and let's say a cleansing stick afterwards to double cleanse? And have you heard of PAI Skincare and Alpha-H cleansers? Do you recommend a brand in particular? Like I said before, gotta start somewhere but there are SO many options out there!

ThaisProMakeup it's been a year since your comment but our skin sounds similar. My current routine is thanks to Renee and my skin has never been better. I use the face shop oil cleanser then the cosrx cleanser. I then apply the cosrx aha bha toner followed by the neogen white truffle oil serum followed by the cosrx birch moisturizer. In the evening I use Dran tea tree essence and cosrx snail mucin. Hope this helps.

Hi Rene! Thank you for another amazing video. I am a bit confused and I was wondering if you or the people here can help. In a previous video about essences you recommended the Missha First Treatment essence to go before anything else, before toner, so to get the full benefits. In the missha website I read it can be used after a cleansing toner. In this video you recommend it used after the vitamin c serum. I have both the missha TRTE and a vitamin c serum So my question is which is the best step to use this essence. Thank you in advance P.s you are awesome!!

@gothamista 8 жыл бұрын

Hi! Great, legit question. I have always used it at the toner step right after cleansing. Only exception would be if I use an acid toner in my nighttime routine, then I use it more as an essence. I feel it works great as a toner because it really helps upcoming products absorb and prevents the skin from getting too dehydrated after cleaning. I show it here after the vit C serum, as an fermented essence alternative, also because I use a mild acid toner. Honestly, I have used the FTE before and after Vit C serum and I don't see a great difference with results. Right now, I'm using vit C immediately after cleansing my skin for experimentation. I have no real rules, just like to see what works. promise I will do an updated skincare routine.

Hey Renee I have a question. I watched a video before saying how vitamin c should not be mixed with products that contain aha/bha because they are both exfoliating factors. Thoughts on that? I have mild acne prone skin, mostly is hormonal but they are hard to get rid of and they always scars so I’ve been looking into vitamin C serums

I have really oily skin. Furthermore, the country I am living in is so warm and humid all year round which makes my skin worse. My skin stopped breaking out as much because I use foaming net to lather up thick creamy foam to double cleanse my face every night. Following on, I would apply a light hydrating lotion(toner) by patting lightly into my skin, and a hydrating serum thereafter. The hydrating serum I am currently using is the Innisfree's green tea seed serum (it is a little not hydrating enough for me imo because I have used products from Hanyul before and my skin basically is not oily for the next day because of balancing out my oil and water in my skin), and a sheet mask after the serum (yes, i do it daily). Lastly, I would apply an emulsion to seal everything up. I do not use any face creams because of the tropical weather I am living in, and also of course I do exfoliate and use clay masks weekly.

do you mind listing out the products you use for your routine? im moving from dry city in the US to humid HK soon and need to change up my routine. I also use innisfree's green tea serum, but it doesn't work well for me and i keep breaking out.

@Ziiqing 8 жыл бұрын

katharinekrunch29 I am currently using Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing foam (by shiseido and this is sold in asia, HK would be selling it and it is a good drugstore product for oily skin, might not be suitable for dry skin). I wash my face only at night and use lukewarm water to wash my face on the daytime. As for toner, I am using Innisfree's Jeju sparkling mineral skin, I use this because it feels really refreshing and cooling on warm weathers. However for HK, I believe they are turning into cooler seasons towards the end of the year. Perhaps you would consider in looking up for people with drier skin in countries such as HK and taiwan of what they usually would use in their colder seasons. I use Innisfree's soybean energy essence(light) and Belif hungarian water essence day and night. for night skincare, i would layer another layer of essence which is also by Innisfree jeju sparkling mineral line. As for daytime, I would just apply Clinique's moisturizing gel and at night, I would apply Clinique's moisture surge extended thirst relief. I would use sheet masks once every 2 days too, basically I would use sheet masks from many Japanese and Taiwanese drugstore brands, which is readily available in HK too. Some examples would be Dr Morita, Kose and My Beauty Diary. These sheet masks would be used right after cleansing and toning my skin, subsequently I would apply the rest of my skincare as per usual (since I have oily skin I usually use sheet masks only at night). Weekly exfoliation I use Cure's natural aqua gel and Innisfree's Super volcanic clay mask for deep cleansing. Skincare is pretty subjective, so this is just my personal routine that suits me and keep my skin to be less oily as well as hydrated. Also, the products I mentioned are readily available in Asian countries so I believe that HK would be selling them too.

Constance Lzq Hi! I used to have the same problem like you and I used to think that I have to do all these long steps(exfoliation, clay mask, pore strips and etc) but after going for facial, the lady mentioned that my face is combination skin and I live in Malaysia which is extremely humid. I recommend replacing with using gentle cleanser like Cosrx and try out cosrx product which are awesome! And not use that many sheet masks because sometimes sheet mask can suck moisture out of your skin and I think which cause your oily skin problem because it doesn't have enough moisture on the inside causing it to be oily. I recommend a mask pack rather than a sheet mask after you use clay mask to retain more moisture✌ and I recommend the jeju lava line rather than the green tea seed line from Innisfree. I recently bought it and I think its way better! Naruko is also a great alternative if cosrx products are hard to get. You can try the cosrx pimple pads also! its a gentler exfoliator and suitable for oily and sensitive skin!

Woah we have the same problems, except I have big pores too. I find certain brightening creams help with the dull complexion, but I am not using it now cause I ran out. The Ponds brightening night cream was good. Nivea brightening cream ain't that good cause it is just a layer or white moisturising cream. Once u wash off, ur skin is dull. My acne is getting out of hand so I am trying to focus on that first. U have any tips or products to recommend ?
