Finally one doc to speak about overdoing unnecessary skincare when you dont even need.

[shivanikaushik]

I totally agree with the fact that applying less really works. I discovered it when I skipped doing my night routine/day routine sometimes and just applied a cica gel and after 9-10 hours I felt my skin feel good. I realized that sometimes missing out on the routine is actually the much-needed window your skin needs to work for you.

I use Dermalogica skincare because my dad is the head of R&D so we get $100 worth of products every month, and it works well for my acne-prone and sensitive skin unlike most American brands that I've tried. The only caveat is the price, which I don't have to worry about right now but once my dad retires, I'm going to have to find a more affordable alternative.

I've seen some influencers that are using as many as 10 different products. I wonder about bad interactions from using so many products, especially if they're from many different companies.

I have used Obagi and ZO skincare and both were definitely way too much for my dry, sensitive skin with melasma. It got to the point where I couldn't even put on a basic gentle moisturizer without my face burning. May be great for some but not me.

I had a phase where I tried a lot of different skincare products but it really didn't help and actually worsened my skin...
Now I only use some serums, natural oils in the evening an moisturizer, to me less is more when it comes to skincare !

i feel like all my years of avoiding being outside has helped😂. i drink lots of water, more than any other beverage. i think listening to your own body is helpful. i personally am vegan so i don’t have any dairy and my skin has gotten even better over the years from never eating dairy or meats. also: sunscreen and water. don’t underestimate sleep as well. granted i don’t always get the best sleep but i really try because there’s nothing better than waking up feeling truly rested 😊 less is more in skincare, 10 steps isn’t necessarily best. use less and add more only if you feel you need it

[dominalgenesis]

I thought for sure diet was gonna make the list

[nmernst]

In the States, Adapoline is available over the counter. A good option for oily skin.

[nirmic]

*morning*
1. Foaming cleanse.
2. Vitamin C serum (no light).
3. Sunscreen (kr) [30 spf]

*night*
1. Cleansing soap.
2. Retinol.
3. Gel like moisturizer.

*exfoliation [1-3/week]*

[ypd]

I didn’t know your brand was cruelty free, you’re the best

[Smallenemyspider]

A big thing for me is just being consistent everyday, day and night.

[Indian_swan]

Hi! Your tips are simple and easy to follow.They gave me a clear and smooth skin for less money.I don't feel the need to apply any foundation or concealer 😊 I do have oily and sensitive skin so I use sun powder because my sunscreen looks greasy.I like it that way so I can skip moisturiser and it also makes me feel that it's actually a good sunscreen.Thanks for your tips! ❤

[userrr]

You're such an educational BADASS. Love your videos- they always make me laugh while I learn. Never change😢❤

[ninimimi]

You are so knowledgeable, funny and interesting Doc! Take care 😘

[oneOHone]

The caption says RUINING YOUR SKIN.... and the bottles on the pictures looks EXACTLY like the products on my shelf.😂😂

[Yana.ayana]

I am so agree with Dr. Youn that some skin conditions might not be ok with actives ingredients.

I'm 38 y old, no wrinkles barely crows feet, never use any peeling/active exfoliator that actually peeling the skin ( I only use toner with cotton pad, peeling gel (love it coz, cause nothing on my skin) or sensitive friendly SA face lotion once in the blue moon if I want to smoothen up the skin) but I don't using it every single day, just occasionally.

I have super sensitive skin and I'm so happy dr. Youn mentions about thin skin. My skin has already been like this since I was young, back home, my fam will call me rotten tomatoes sometimes, whenever I just came back from outside at noon time, some south east asia are no kidding hot, and my parents house just 15-20 mnt walk to the beach/ sea side.

My skincare steps are so simple

Cleanse
Tone
Serum
Moisturize

Day time, I sometimes do not apply serum and just add sunscreen. I normally just get moisturizer with SPF because I'm mainly indoor. My moisturizer is actually vit C essence, but the consistency are way thicker and than my serum so I put it as the last step before sunscreen if I use one.

for weird reason majority lotion and cream form doesn't work for my skin, it's been 4 years I'm using Japanese brand and few Korean that I already fell great with it, it's also help my rosacea flare up last time (it was second worst skin prob experience, small mistake and I triggered the allergic my eyes and nose are weird, my eyes completely looks like the blue avatar coz it's swollen and felt like pulling with cartoon witch nose). I stopped using face powder since 2009 and no make before especially now, didn't use one for my wedding too.

But what I think really help my skin is on and off no sugar (can't stopped it like forever because once a while would love to have cake or other sweets) and low carbs diet (I didn't mean no carbs at all, just low to moderate carbs (I only did Keto once) and I do IF unintentionally because I'm too busy in the morning that I only can start drinking my matcha/ coffee around 11.a.m ish sometimes around 1-2 p.m

And since late 20's (around 28 y old to be exact), I had hormon issues due to my weight I believed, I didn't get my period for 5 months and I started had crazy huge painful pimples (thank God it's all gone within 3-4 months ans nobody noticed that I ever had those big like marble with yellow fuss pimples) due to this condition I clean my diet took supplements less than a week I got my periodsand it's been all good since that time.

I did smoothie fast for a week before cleaning up my diet and started taking supplements such as glutathione, collagen, vit C and e or pre mix. Now I consume more stuff including ceramide, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen both from cows and marine, turmeric, NAC, ashwaganda, magnesium, hatomugi, Bulgarian rose oil supplement and probiotics, also I did consume evening primerose oil capsules before.

I know it's bit much so I devided into 2 sometimes 3 in a day, some in empty stomach, after brunch and dinner. I personally like something from the inside.

I sometimes take a break Both supplements and skincare at least min 4 days and max can be almost 2 weeks for supplement especially if I eat bad. Skincare about a weeks max, just wash with unscented baby soap I'm good and put nothing after.


So sorry for the long comment

[hopeless_wanderer]

Sensitive skin gal here.

Cleansers I've found that didn't irritate my skin:

-La Roche-Posay-purifying foaming face cleanser
-Avene oil free cleanser (discontinued)
-Cetaphil (normal to oily)
-Bioderma-Sensibio (pink bottle)

Anti-aging:
*Retinaldehyde
-Avene retrinAL

Face Moisturizer:
-La Roche-Posay-Toleriane double repair
-Avene-Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
-bioderma-Sensibio AR

Body: La Roche-Posay-Lipikar Triple Repair Moisturizing Lotion.
(Also used on face without issues)

Sunscreen:
-Avene mineral
-ISDIN mineral
-Baby mineral sunscreens

Obagi wrecked my skin, even just the cleanser.
Skinmedica products worked well, but the price was too hefty.

Thank you so much for this video, Dr Youn! I never knew before when to put on syrums, oils, or creams, and in which order. I changed up my routine to match your suggestions, and I already feel like it's making a difference! Such a relief 😇🤗

[mariavictorianunez]

I go for simple skin care. Thanks for educating us. 😊
