And remember, even if you can't even spend 1$ on any skin products because you're poor, but you care enough about your skin, exercise to sweat toxins out, shower to wash them away, eat good food and drink lots of water! It'll help regulate hormones, and balance all the systems that work for your skin to give you clear, beautiful skin! You either spend money or effort, you just gotta decide how important it is to you!

Not entirely true but still valid. Have a skincare routine specific to your problems while doing this and you’ll see results over time

[@gigglybunny2323]

I wear my sunscreen religiously but why is my skin looked worse than my friends whom not only do they do not wear sunscreens, they dont even moisturize their faces! I need justice! 😭😭😭

[@cosmic_lotus_eater]

same here, it feels like more u take care of ur skin the more horrible it becomes and the ones who use nothing but body soap to wash their face have flawless skin!!

[@thereadingsylph]

most likely genetics, man. i know people who dont give a fuck about skincare, dont even know what a moisturizer is, but have smooth and even skin. and then there's me with my acne and hyperpigmentation even though i double cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, protect. my skin is getting better but it's never going to be like those people. it's in my blood, my other family members have similar skin issues.

[@gigglybunny2323]

thereadingsylph mine is getting better as well. Haha i was just wondering why. Yeah good genes helps huh.

[@luxy1193]

Dayana Alaidin ..omg same here. I am the only one I know that uses vit a products, aha, bha, vit c, coq10, ha, cleanses and tones and all of this to have nice looking skin, but does it look nicer than those whom use none of this....heck no. Don't know why this is...I just am never going to have nice looking skin no matter what I try and do. You either have good looking skin or you don't, sadly that's all I can come up with. And yes spf just makes skin look crap.!

[@luxy1193]

Pooja H...totally agree with you, I spend so much on skincare, reads loads...and it don't seem to make me look good☹️. Then you see videos of others doing loads and their skin looks great...they must have filters on their cameras lol. And then those who do nothing look great too🤔

My skin has gotten so much clearer over the past month ever since I've started drinking 1-2 matcha teas a day~ I really recommend anyone who reads this to try having matcha (or just regular green tea) regularly:) I personally find green tea quite bitter therefore I add a tea spoon of honey which makes it sweet, so I like the taste. However, since I've been drinking it everyday I have gotten used to the taste and, for me, it is no longer as bitter and I really enjoy it

[@kayhere8863]

Wow I gotta try this 😊 Thank you

[@yyvette]

Wonpil is so cute - When making green tea, add the water to your tea at 70 - 80 °C, well below boiling point. It won't taste bitter this way :) Boiling hot water extracts the bitter elements (tannins) from the leaves.

[@wellwell7429]

I don't know much about tea but I asked a person in the shop to give me high quality green tea. She gave me better and worse examples to smell, the best one smelled the most gentle. And the taste is really pleasant, I can't live without sweets, but this tea doesn't need sugar at all. So I recommend to buy high quality tea, to use hot but not boiling water like it's said above and to not leave tea leaves for too long in the water, because than bitterness comes out anyway.

[@LiahYoo]

thanks for sharing! I love my matcha!! x

[@faith286]

Ohh im gonna try this. But how can u say that its the green tea that helped your skin? I know that it is in a lot of skin care products but don't know how it helps.. also how long have u been drinking before u see results?

[@7antonela]

I never paid much attention to skincare before, that was until I stumbled upon Liah's video about oily skin month ago. I ordered some of The Ordinary products Liah recommended, one of them being niacinamide, and my skin has never been better! It's no longer oily! not even in the t zone! It's just healthy and smooth! also doesn't look grey-ish as it did before. I can't thank you enough Liah, for your recommendations.

You suggest that Vitamin c/b3 shouldn't be used by under 30 but I think these ingredients are really helpful for people with darker skin tones because we suffer from hyperpigmentation and there's usually darkening around the mouth. What are your thoughts on that?

Do you have any suggestions for getting rid of closed comedones? Sometimes I get these bumps on my skin that aren't so visible if I'm looking at myself in the mirror but they become apparent in pictures. Since they're under the skin, I don't know any easy way to quickly remove them and they take forever to go away on their own. Even though I only get a few, I don't like how they affect my skin texture and I don't like that some areas of facial skin feel bumpy when I touch them. I really want the skin on my face to be smooth and even.

Hello! I have very oily skin, and my daily cleanser for the past few years was Biore ice cleanser, with a salicylic acid 2%. I tried to switch to a low PH more gentile cleanser while just using salicylic 2-3-4 times a week but I always break out if I don't use the Salisylic 2-3 times a day. I do use a toner, syrum, Ampoule, and birch sap moisturizer afterwards to try to re-hydrate my skin but I can't help but be worried I'm doing some sort of damage still. Do you have any advice?

sometimes i get those, i learned that trying to pop it will make it worse so i let it be, and i apply some aloe vera over it in the night and wash it off in the morning, that helps to reduce the inflammation so as putting ice in a cloth over it. Hope this helps c: sorry for my bad english though :P

[@wennessa94]

Özge B my derm prescribed adapalene gel for me and basically it act by drying out and reducing the inflammation in a few days ... trying to pop it will just make it worse and it's better to leave it by applying adapalene gel twice daily

I'm only 15, and I'm a beginner from kbeauty makeup and skin care in general. However I can notice extremely large pores on my cheeks, it really confuses me because I'm normal to combo skin, my nose is the only thing will get really oily throughout the day but most people said that large pores can means that it's clogged or produce a lot of oil. Tbh, I have no idea why are those pores here and how to care for it (I use scrub, exfoliate mask and clay mask to deep clean the pores) because my cheeks seem TREMENDOUSLY sensitive like, I would put anything like sunscreen or mild cleanser (even water sometimes lol 😂) on my face and my cheeks will start to turn redder and redder (I have the usual redness around my cheeks too), sometimes I didn't even touch or did anything to my face but my cheeks start to itch and that's scared the heck outta me 😂 Can you guys please give me some advice ?

I live in the Philippines and I already accepted that my skin would have large pores because I live in a tropical country. When I travelled to Japan for 5 days, I noticed how my pores were minimized and it was all because of the climate and weather in Japan. So when I went back to the Philippines I lost all of those small pores and they were all enlarged by it. It's such a bummer when I find these tips very helpful but the weather where you live plays a HUGE factor.

Kawaii Potato Liah has done a video about it! It helped me a lot, it was all about bringing down the temperature of your skin and detoxifying it mainly with antioxydants (green tea, matcha) and aloe vera 🤗 also make sure you double cleanse your face at night with a balm or an oil followed by a gentle gel cleanser. I've seen really good results after using this technique. I used to skip the first step (oil cleanser) because i was not convinced by it but after reading about it, i realized that the oil pull out the gunk out of your pores making them clean. This way, my tiny bumps are slowly going away! Yay 🙌🏼 AHA/BHA can also help with your skin texture

Hey Liah . . When I try to use Salicylic acid it causes huge cystic acne. People say purging is possible, but it causes huge painful cysts all over my face.

I want to manage my acne face, but is it possible that salicylic acid is causing a reaction? Or just purging?

I tried The ordinary Salicylic acid for a few days and I had to stop because new cystic acne appeared every day and nothing seemed to calm my skin down. So I had to stop it completely and it took me two weeks for my face to be not painful. I had a similar reaction to Murad Salicylic products.

I use Aveeno clear complexion with 0.5% salicylic acid, I then use Peter Thomas Roth AHA/BHA acne clearing gel with 2% salicylic acid and 10% glycolic acid and with the last step I use 1 pump of Anew Vitamin C. I don't spread the vitamin C around my face, I use my index finger and lightly dab it on my dark acne scars. I've been doing this for a month, morning and night time, and I see little changes. I have oily skin and I breakout all over my face except my nose. I have mild acne, I have papules on the upper half of my chin and on my forehead. I also breakout when I have my period. If you have any input such as incorporating new products or stop using them into my skin care I would love that very much. Thank you so much for providing all those acne videos, I really appreciate it. 😭😭💖💖

[@LiahYoo]

just make sure you don't over exfoliate :)

[@Sammyltv]

I love the video, I was wondering what BHA products of 2 or 3% do you recommend?

[@ryleighc7793]

Love your videos and how informative they are!!

[@seriouslythough4396]

I'm hoping you can recommend a good sunscreen. So many sunscreens have harsh, possibly cancer-causing chemicals that I'm so confused as to what is safe enough to wear everyday

[@babybirdjinsonator3031]

What do you think about the Cicapair tiger grass color correcting treatment by Dr Jart? Seems interesting to me 🤔

[@LiahYoo]

i love the cream from the same range! :) haven't tried the cc treatment

hi liah, thank you for the advice.If we're using the chemical exfoliator already, is it physical exfoliator necessary?

[@wellwell7429]

sahira fatin It's not necessary, and chemical exfoliator is better anyway :)

Hello, can someone recommend me a really good hydrating clay mask and BHA product? :( i never know which one is gentler and effective for the skin.

Paula’s choice 2% BHA exfoliant !

[@donuts833]

Yesss great tips as usual!!! 🌴🌴Cleansing is so important but I feel like people don't do it properly, yet spend so much on skincare. Not just cleansing away makeup and dirt, but it's very important to take time to rinse off the cleansing oil AND the cleansing foam very well too.

[@AudreyNataliaKosmar]

donut i use micellar water and rinse it with thermal sprinh water spray

[@rabiaabdkhank7829]

donut how do you rinse off the cleansing oil and foam.After my cleansing oil(argan oil) I just wash it off with water and than use my foam that pretty much rinses my oil off.And theb again I just rinse the foam off with water .Is it right?

[@donuts833]

Xghsz hier yes you are right! I don't mean the method, but I mean taking the _time_ to rinse them off mindfully instead of just routinely quickly rinsing them off. Trace residue of any makeup/oil/foam is not good. Some ingredients in cleansing foam may be comedogenic but helps with foaming/cleansing so it's good to take time to foam them up and rinse off them off without residue. That's why some cleansing foam specifically tell you to just use a pea sized amount. Too much can be hard to foam up and rinse off. Cleansing oil should also be applied with dry hands as water on your hands may emulsify the oil even before it gets on your face. Just small details people may overlook :) I think it's great Liah pointed out the importance of properly cleansing off makeup because most people care more about applying skincare products than cleansing. :)

[@LiahYoo]

Exactly!!

[@doobyboop]

I wash my face with as much attention as how I would wash my hands if they were dirty. When I started spending a good minute or two just thoroughly cleaning with water (versus just splashing with water) I noticed a difference in my amount of acne/closed comedones.

[@chariots8x230]

I bought some skincare products recently and my skin texture and pores started looking worse now that I'm using them. My skin texture started to look kinda like the skin of a citrus fruit and the few minor fine lines that I have appear emphasized :( I don't know which of these products is the culprit. I didn't have this problem when I just used jojoba oil though. Which of these products can be causing this bad skin texture? I'm using a cleanser twice a day, a moisturizer at night, and a moisturizer with SPF during the day. Can you please help me figure this out because I'm really hating the way my skin is looking even though it's more moisturized than before? Thank you!

I wish I watched this few years ago. I’m 26 now but I think my skin looks 30ish. Didn’t use any UV sunscreen before. Didn’t moisturise my skin either. I guess I’ve treated myself really bad all those years.

[@thatcoffee]

Hey liah💕 curious palmy here: is using bha only enough to exfoliate the skin? (My skin is quite sensitive and doesnt react well to most clay masks😫) Can I combine the bha with, say, a mild peeling gel or a scrub or will that (probably) be too much for my skin? Luv ur vids💕🌴🌴

[@sehunslines]

Not Liah (sorry 😂) but gonna speak from personal experience. I have combo-dry/sensitive skin. Most clay masks I tried didn't really work for me either, until I tried the Innisfree Jeju Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask. That stuff is da bomb! I tried to combine BHA (COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid) with a peeling/scrub (Dr. Pierre Ricaud Derma Ecolia Clay Peeling). At first my skin started clearing up and looked really smooth so I was happy and included these steps in my routine (didn't do it daily tho, only once or twice a week). But not too long after my skin started feeling dehydrated, tight, slightly irritated and it looked dewy/shiny without moisture. That's how I realized that I was actually over-exfoliating so I stopped. So long story short, I'm no expert but I think that chemical exfoliation (BHA/AHA) + mechanical exfoliation (scrubs etc) might be a bit too much for our sensitive skin. Listen to your skin and do what's best for it, I hope it helped somehow 😊

[@thatcoffee]

Sehun needs more lines 'till the sundown OMG I havr the same skintype and I had the exact same experience with the Innisfree clay mask😮 at first it worked wonderfully, but after like 2 months I began to experience breakouts and a overly dehydrated skin:/ Thank you for responding and your recommendation, I think I might try the bha out, since I've previously had good experience with the cosrx pimple pads🤗 May I ask you if you've tried the cosrx aha out and if it worked out well for you?

[@sehunslines]

mina linium Yaaaaayy omg we're skin twins! 😂 Well ngl I did experience slight dehydration at some point with the Innisfree clay mask but it was because I was using it too often, but when I use it sporadically it's wonderful! The COSRX BHA is quite mild I guess, I've never experienced any irritation/breakouts with it- I just find it a bit drying, especially on the drier areas of my face but that's my only complaint so yep, go for it! 👊 And I might try the pad then 😊 I did try the AHA, only once since it was a sample but I didn't really like it, a few minutes after putting it on my face I felt a stinging sensation that was quite uncomfortable and I'm pretty sure that it's not normal haha

[@LiahYoo]

alternate aha and bha but I wouldn't use it every day!

[@thatcoffee]

Sehun needs more lines 'till the sundown yaaaaay thank you so much!!!🤗🤗I think I will start out with the bha then and maybe purchase some samples for aha later on~ if I'm in the mood for it hahah

Hi Dr. Yoo! I have a question, can I use natural and chemical acne agents at the same time? I've been using honey on my skin for almost 4 months now and it made my skin pimple free. I use wet tea leaves also for exfoliation and it really works for me. And, currently, I'm using aloe vera extract that is made in Korea to make my pimple marks gone. I wanted to fasten the process of making my skin pimple mark free already but I'm kind of scared? Cuz what if I grow more pimples because of it or what-so-ever. Plsssss Dr. Yoo, I need your help!!!

Loved the video! Do you recommend any exfoliating product with salicylic acid for very sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin? Btw, thanks to your videos, I've been using Tamanu oil, at first I had to adjust the amount due to its thickness but now that I have, it's amazing!

[@LiahYoo]

+Sarah S Yes I think a lot of people can tolerate salicylic acid well. Maybe you can start with 0.5-1% and build up to 2% if your skin likes it!

Thank you!
