Evelynn Jhoanne 😂😂😂💚 I still am prone to stress as I run my own company, but honestly the littlest things like being aware of my breathing & going for daily hour long walks, those things tackle the cortisol! Then sleep is sooo big, too...and ‘stressful thinking’ which a lot of people call ‘negative thinking’ like, focusing on all the worst things happening in the world and feeling out of control and spiraling...that shit literally gives us spots! 😂😭💚

Biggest tip: your skin care shouldn’t hurt. As a teen I was so upset by my skin I used really harsh products with the ideal of ‘no pain no gain’ and I couldn’t have been more wrong. If it burns, TAKE IT OFF! You’re just making it so much worse.

Is because it gets dry after pain because burns but u have to apply some moisturizer that makes your skin regenerate. Probably those moisturizer that are prescribed when you are taking acne pills like isotetrinoin they prescribe good moisturizer as complement use that

There is 'good tingly' and 'bad tingly' aka chemical burns. Some products actually give a slight tingly feeling which can be a little uncomfortable but that just means they are working properly. That's why patch testing is so important when trying a new product out.

@areti2003 5 жыл бұрын

youre not wrong but youre also not entirely correct. My dermatologist prescribed me some crèmes(3) n id have to use them everyday and how they worked was they burned my pimples n skin in general. The first 2 weeks my skin looked like it had gotten sunburned but that was the effect of the crèmes. I had severe acne to a point where he told me id be put on pills that would make me dizzy for a long time if i wanted to clean my skin completely. The thing is when i went to get my skin checked he couldnt believe how much my skin had improved, he literally double checked his documents and asked me if he fr had wrote on his pc to prescribe pills for me. To sum up these cremes that burned my skin and hurted like hell saved my life. if your dermatologist prescribed it for you then its probably for the best but if u use random stuff n they hurt your skin sis throw them out

All you people who have problems with peeing all your water out, you've got to drink lukewarm water, and you've got to drink it slowly throughout the day. When you drink freezing-cold water, your body spends more time warming it up than it does actually absorbing it. By the time it has warmed the water, it's all the way at the end of your digestive system. Also, don't just chug a whole glass of water. Just take a few sips here and a few sips there every few minutes all day. When you chug water, it's the same problem. Your body doesn't absorb like 12 oz of water at a time, so it all gets flushed out before your body can absorb it all. Drinking lots of water won't work unless you take steps to make your body actually absorb it. Otherwise, you'll just be peeing all the time.

I have used glycolic acid (cleansers, toners, and treatments at night) for 24 years. It has paid off. I am 48 and when I was 47, a new massage therapist thought I was 32. That is the ultimate complement, thinking I am still in my 30s. In my 30s, I used vitamin A during the day and in my 40s, I started vitamin C during the day. It really has paid off for me. I too had acne in my mid to late 20s and did 2 rounds of Accutane and it still came back. I am so glad that I stopped it and did tons of research. Water is also essential. Clay masking every other day for 20 years.

@heidiaguilar1257 5 жыл бұрын

@@aestetics3505 Yes. Start out with a low pH, low molecular structure glycolic cleanser every other night, leave on for 20 to 30 seconds, rinse with warm water. The low pH allows it to get into the pore and dissolve all the oil dirt, and debris. Then work up to every night, then morning and night as your skin tolerates it. I have thick skin that is not sensitive so I can handle the acids well. However, if you have sensitive skn, go slow or you will get red and peeling skin. Then, about twice a week, add in a glycolic pad of some sort at night. Also, a glycolic serum and/or cream very other night. My favorite brand is serious skin care - the glycolic line. Also Peter Thomas Roth has glycolic peel pads and cleansers. Pixi has wonderful 20 percent glycolic pads too. Remember, go slow for sensitive skin. If you have acneic skin it will greatly improve in about 3 to 5 months.

@blue3374 5 жыл бұрын

tbh it depends on the individual's skin there is another "trend" going on in Korea called the "Skincare diet" where the goal is basically to use the least amount of skincare products as possible and that has really helped my skin a ton, especially since the winter season has ruined my skin barrier and made it super dry, inflamed, red, sensitive, etc. so not everyone should be using more products tbh for me, it's always quality over quantity and the Korean company that I base most of my products off of (Krave Beauty) believes in the same philosophy as well so in the end, its always different for everybody and what works for them

I get lots of pimples and breakouts from where my skin touches the dirty surface. I never really noticed it until I would be on a break from college or during the summer, winter or spring break my skin goes back to looking healthy and fresh. so I stopped letting my face touch any surface that might not be clean and voila! my acne was reduced by a lot! I mean I still have pimples and zits due to my senstive oily skin and hormonal imbalance... but a big part of my acne was gone due to this simple realization and baby step.

Maybe it's already stuff you do, but do not touch your face with your hands, try to avoid it as much as possible, especially your nails should stay far far away from your face (and also, don't let others touch it)! I wrote a more extensive comment above into the answer section of Melanie's comment, if you're interested, but the base line is: keep your stuff that absolutely has to touch your face as clean as possible (like your hands when you put on cream, e.g. don't touch your phone on between cleaning and cream etc), or exchange pillow cases very often; listen to your skin (if food/a cream/product doesn't work or makes you break out, just ditch it); don't overdo it (sometimes more is too much and less is better, again, it depends on your skin, so listen to it).

Another pet peeve of mine is the before and after pics in thumbnails, with the before pic in crappy lighting emphasizing the acne and the after in bright ass sunlight washing out their face and glowing it tf up and turning it briiiight golden.

Les Diaz vitamin C serum (e.g. Klairs vitamin C drop for sensitive skin), hyaluronic acid and vitamin e to hydrate and ‘rebuilt’ the skin cells. Also try glycolic (idk how to write it) or salicid acid to exfoliate the dead skin cells (try to stick with chemical, because it’s milder than physical (beads, etc.) . The beads irritate the skin even more. Last but not least, try to calm your skin (for example aloe vera or centella asiatica), your skin is already irritated and crazy enough, it doesn’t need any more (no alcohol or heavy fragrances). Be nice for your skin, cleanse, exfoliate, tone, serum, hydrate, spf)

It´s interesting how many products you use and work for you. I did this too a couple of years ago. And my skin looked horrible. It got worse and worse. Cystic acne all over my face! I tried everything, all different kind of products. And then I just stopped. I do not wash my skin anymore. And my cystic acne disappeared! I put some olive oil on it from time to time if it seems dry but I do not use foundation and do not clean it with anything. The very reddish areas disappeared too. Now my skin looks amazing. I guess every skin is different? For other people it helped too. Very complicated things, these human bodies.

My skin has freaked out after I tried to use skin care. I'm breaking out, having red areas on my skin, etc. I've tried all the expensive products but it just gets to annoyed even with just cleansing or moisture. If I cleanse and apply moisturizer once a day, in the evening, then next morning my skin will be a greasy mess and have broken out. It never did that back when I didn't care for it. Yet I'm afraid of NOT using skin care products, because everyone tells you you have to so you don't get ugly skin when you're older..

@Jyoka 5 жыл бұрын

@ParadiseLost I got the same feelings. It`s like you are breaking a holy rule if you don`t use skin care products. But I think, if your skin is breaking out it`s a sign that this is not for your skin. My mother washed her face as she was told to when she was young. She bought very expensive products. And she said, it ruined her skin. Now she never uses products and says, if she didn`t had used it in the first place she would have amazing skin (she is nearly 70 and I think it`s true). It`s more important what you put in your body than on your skin. Your skin is an organ that needs nutrients. Melanie said it in the video too. And I think, if someone eats healthy, than it`s not a big deal if you don`t use skin care. Moreover, you will not have acne scars. I just tried to encourage you a bit because I know the fear so well but I think it`s important to listen to your body and try to find out what works for you and not what everyone tells you.

Following on from consistency with exercise, consistency with your skin care routine!

I also feel like breaking a sweat regularly (be it at the gym, in a sauna, etc) and then rinsing your face with cool water after has been really helpful, to me it feels like my body's way of just cleaning all those pores out

I wrote a long ass comment somewhere but I want to point out the most important parts of my comment. The skin is influenced by hormones which is why children don’t have acne. To some, a new diet and skin care can change the skin but to some it doesn’t because hormonal acne exists (hi how are ya ). if the cure of acne was as easy as just cutting dairy and sugar, no one would struggle from acne I’m certain and all derms would go bankrupt. As you get older the skin gets better due to it producing less oil, less skin cell shedding etc. Female bodies go through a lot of changes in their early teens to mid 20s and actually all the time because PMS which is why we poor gals struggle with acne a lot longer while most men only have it during puberty. So if you’re a person who tried all these tips, products and diets but still struggles, it’s fine, I tried all these tips as well and still look like a mess. Consult a dermatologist and ask for a prescription. Try antibiotics first, if that doesn’t work go for accutane (very risky with a lot of horrible side effects be aware of those). It’s the only stuff that works for sure. The dairy, sugar debate isn’t really scientifically proven. Dairy and sugar rise the level of possible inflammations but don’t necessarily cause acne unless you are allergic to those nutritions.

I was immediately the acne girl when I turned 11 and I was dragged to so many dermatologist appointments and given so many treatments. The funny thing is that I was never taught a proper routine through all this, they just kept finding new ways to medicate it. I'm pretty sure one of the medications I took has affected me more negatively in the long term. I have a baby face by design, but I wanted to get rid of the acne aspect for good.
