hi please can you send me your no to call you. I so need your help. thanks ever so much.

Jennifer Jajeh how do you feel about a toner?

[@SusanYara]

Hey guys!! I’m going to try to post on Thursdays too! People ask about hyperpigmentation all the time and I worked really hard to clear my skin of it after I had a baby. It’s a process! Be gentle to your skin. The hyperpigmentation takes years to form, so don’t try to get rid of it quickly.

Hi susan, can you please share some tips how to get shiny hair. Btw yours look so soft and shiny

[@nandini.sreddy5845]

Susan Yara Love your channel a big fan ♥️

[@sarahtorki4504]

Thank you so much Susan for this video !! I am going to have a series of 4 depigmentation peels (Dermaceutic's mela peel forte) at my derm's , hopefully this will get rid of my stubborn pigmentation and Melasma. I am scared of using retinol as it increases photo sensitivity , my skin being already very sensitive to the sun .. love love your videos ! xxx

[@lilycouchpotato]

Susan Yara what treatment should you recommend if you have pityriasis alba? It started to show on my face and I don't know how get rid of it 😔

[@elpidaledzep]

*Thursdays. ' S' for plural, 'apostrophe s' for possessive.

[@prayonkreutz2398]

Skin turnover is 28-40 days. Depending on how deep the hyperpigmentation is in your dermal layers will depend on how long it takes to come to the surface. Susan, you should also explain the difference between chemical & physical spf sunscreens. Not all sunscreen is "created equal". Just because your make up or moisturizer has spf, doesn't mean you should skip actual spf sunscreen application & reapplication throughout the day & sun exposure you receive.

[@mariaesquivel6729]

I don’t want to use hydro-quinone at all, I think I would go for the one that doesn’t contain it, I’m not really conscious about my skin conditions, I don’t even wear makeup to cover my problems so I don’t mind the time it takes to show results...but I can get how the one with hydro-quinone could work, I’m just spooked by hydro-quinone, period!!!

This is really informative, i've tried many products but none of them did the job... It's been nearly four years since I've started treating hyperpigmentation under my lower lip and it's been driving me insane... But I began doing DIY masks with turmeric, chickpea powder and rose water and I'm actually seeing results... I recommend it for anyone who doesn't have allergies to any of the ingredients. PS: it takes time, you have to exfoliate before putting the mask on, and you should do it twice a week.

[@christia0873]

Can you please advice the quantities you use to make this mask?

[@dsmpareja]

thank you for all your advice. i developed melasma after my twins and am desperate to get rid of it. As someone new to this, I would've like you to give us a video (or to list) in the order you use all of this. I am confused on how/what goes on first, second, etc..thanks

I am off to buy it right now

[@SusanYara]

Amanda Westbrooke Thank you! I truly love to talk about skincare. 👍 Let me know what you think of the retinol. I’ve been using for a couple weeks now and I’ll warn it’s a touch strong for over the counter, but surprisingly not irritating. I use it two days in a row, then take a night off, then go two days again. That seems to be the right formula for me, but I would love to know your take on it once you try.

[@amandawestbrooke]

Susan Yara absolutely...I’m curious if you have tried the Maelove vitamin C serum and how it compares to Sunday Riley?

[@SusanYara]

Amanda Westbrooke I haven’t but I’ll check it out. 👍

[@MsButterflysting]

@@SusanYara I'm new & am slowly learning how to build a good skincare routine more than just wash & SPF moisturizer for the last 30+yrs. But I on a major budget. I've been eyeing the brand Acura & have tried their.15% retinal cream & am told to slowly build up the % & how often to use it. Wondering if you know of this brand? I'll check your playlists to see if you've addressed it or not. It hasn't dried me out, I use it for darkness (mustache sans hair?!) & over my hinted areas of crow's feet/wrinkles, phyto scars? & DV related scars. This in combo of a rose/carrot seed/jojoba/sunflower seed oil blend has already severely reduced one DV scar on my cheek. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these issues & have a great day today !

Hyperpigmentation can also be a sign that your liver is inflamed, specially is the hyperpigmentation is around your mouth.

[@MsButterflysting]

Interesting, thank you for that, I'll make sure to ask my physician to check my liver. I have what looks like a mustache, but in my skin & hair is virtually non-existent there. I don't drink, I've never had any other than coffee as something that would affect my liver badly. She did mention birth control, so perhaps that's why, but I've had this my entire life. There's been now two times my Vitamin D levels have been less than half the lowest acceptable level & in one of these times it was my thyroid which also had extremely low output levels. I'm really curious as to why (doc had no answer) & whether the discoloration is a side effect? I live in Alaska, so I'm one of those lucky people who get to eat a ton of salmon & as I said, I'm a coffee drinker. Thanks all & have a great day today!

Angelina Carraway35 check out The Ordinary by Deciem, specifically products with vit C, niacinamide, and Alpha Arbutin as well as all their AHAs (acids). It’s very affordable. Also check out Gothamista’s YT channel for videos on this subject. She is very good at suggesting a wide of products at different price points. Best of luck! xx

[@Holy_ShihTzu]

Also invest in a good sunscreen there's lots of affordable ones out there you just have to find what works for you ♡ UV exposure worsens melasma and the treatments for melasma make skin more sensitive to UV rays so sun protection is important

[@josefaromano784]

Peggy Carter hi,can you recomend a brand name of retinol?alot of retinol in the market,i try twice to buy but none of them works

[@sarahtorki4504]

Angelina, try to buy a big leaf of organic Aloe Vera (in France it costs only 1 euro) - you basically put the gel straight from the plan onto to your melasma , every morning and night for as long as possible. I've been doing It for the past 4 months and mine has lightened tremendously. Consistency is key though ! But Aloe Vera DOES work :)

I never realized that my acne leaving dark spots was hyperpigmentation! I always assumed it was part of the healing process and was scarring from it!

[@jiromarc7873]

I just would like to share...Differin gel gave me so many cystic acnes, big ones on top of each other. I continued using it for a 1.5 months coz the label says that it "can" cause breakouts at first before it clears out. But no way, never again. I used the full line up of Khiel's ( blue cleanser, Calendula toner, Vitamin C serum, breakout control blemish treatment, gel moisturizer and sunscreen) as suggested by the salesperson and my pimples subsided only after 2 months. Now I only have hyperpigmentation but it is slowly clearing up. It has been 4 months since I started using Khiel's products. Since the vitamin C serum is so expensive, I did the DIY Vitamin C serum I saw on youtube which, I feel, works wonders, too.

Then Pyunkang Yul moisture ampoule in my chest and lower neck. Then I use Acwell ph balancing toner. Then follow with I’m with Rice essence. THEN I’d use the vitamin C then coq10 after. I will dab on some Peach and Lily glass skin refining serum for added moisture. I use Make Prem hydrate me on my face. Nivea pure and natural on neck and chest. Then I use Hado Labo she correcting eye cream and after that soaks in I top it with a little Whamisa eye essence. FINALLY I use a sunscreen. I have like 8 so I switch out depending on the weather. Just started trying Klairs soft airy UV essence. Great for winter for sure. That’s daytime. At night I only add clean it zero for a double cleanse and right after I use Then (at night only) I use Klairs youth activating drops. Then the rest of my routine. It actually only takes me like 5 minutes. I’ve been doing this for over 2 years so I’m pretty speedy. I will try and do a mask 2-3 times a week and I use the Peach and Lily super reboot resurfacing mask once a week. Whew! If someone laid out this list to me I’d say they were crazy as hell. It really takes a little bit of time and the results are worth it. I wouldn’t do all of that if I saw nothing! Aren’t you glad you asked? Haha

Iv come to learn that aside having acne some people are more prone to scaring than others. For those of us who scar easily we definitely have to incorporate vitamin c and Retinol in our regime. Downside is most likely if we scar easily then our skin is very sensitive and thin, so we can’t use abrasive products on it and over expose it. This whole skincare situation is just hard chale 🤣

I had kind of like your issue 1.5 years ago and decided I need to switch products. I started using R+F Reverse Brightening skin care regimen and after about 1 year I really saw results, my skin brightened up and most of my skin hyperpigmentation or sunspots went away, except for a few that are still there. I believe these remaining spots are from me picking up my hormonal one or two zits that i occassionally get. After watching this video i started using the liiyana retinol and sunday riley vit c. I do like them a lot and using them as alternate to my retinol vit c cream that comes with R+F reverse brightening. I am thinking of trying the pigment gel, maybe this will be the one that will remove the remaining pigmentation on my cheek bone. I would love to get your opinion on this.

Hi! Can you recommend something for blackheads and open pores? ESP on the nose and cheeks

[@marianazh9117]

I've heard that you have to put salicylic acid(BHA) on the spot where you have blackheads, then wash it after 10 minutes, put some clay mask, and then some tightening serum to tighten your pores.

[@zaria5785]

I agree with everything the commenter above mentioned and if you don't have that serum to tighten pores try witch hazel- it works.

[@sup8668]

Zari A, I’be only heard of witch hazel for redness or irritation.

[@sup8668]

Rija Siddiqui, as someone said clay mask work really well, I recommend the Aztec clay mask. You can get it off Amazon for around $8-$9

This video was so helpful. I have watched so many skincare videos but this one was so clear and I could really relate. Thankyou 😘

[@mildwild5313]

Could you PLEASE do a video on pores? How to shrink them (if possible) how to clean them out safely, how to make them less noticeable. My pores are out of control 😖

[@biancarosato5904]

Olga Castaneda I think you might benefit from salicylic acid. It’s a BHA that reduces inflammation, clears pores, prevents breakouts, and exfoliates. I use the Burt’s bees acne solutions clarifying toner with 1% salicylic acid every day after my cleanser, once my face has completely dried. I hope that helps!

Can you do a video on getting rid of acne scars?

[@Mixedmakeup]

We have one! Watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3_ImWV4pat7fKc

Yay! Another skincare video!! I love these Susan! Thank you for sharing your PCA lightener!! I need to grab that ASAP! I definitely got hyperpigmentation after I had my second child and while they may look like “freckles” I know they haven’t always been there and I’m still not used to them! I feel that aside from some of the MDs and estheticians I see on KZbin, your advice and knowledge has been spot on! Thank you so much my sister!! Love you lots!! 💕💕

[@magdalenabc567bc7]

Thank you for this video. I have been using ambi fade cream but have not seen a difference. Will give the pca gel a try.

[@lizprado7087]

Hi! How often do you recommend to do physical expoliación for hyperpigmentation?

[@anallelytejeda6748]

What are you using on your lips? The natural look, I love it 😻

[@hibaazem5559]

I love this topic !! I suffer from melasma.

[@aprilj6159]

I’ve dealt with hyperpigmentation forever! I tried Musely and after 6 weeks, it was 85% gone...by the way...I have no connections to them and have not been asked to promote them...it works!!

[@chriskunsak3963]

Great video... loved the way you broke it down into treatment steps... Exfoliators, Treatment and Prevention. I actually took some detailed notes and will be going over all this with my wife. She is from Laos and just turned 50 and is starting to show some hyperpigmentation spots on her cheeks and forehead... that she is starting to become self conscience over. We've watched a lot of video's, read a ton of reviews and honestly your video broke it down perfectly... thank you very much for taking the time to make this video!!

[@nautaufalele4541]

Hi Susan, I would like to use the retinol at night too. After which step in my night routine do I use it? Would it be after my toner and can I use it as a substitute for moisturizer or no?

[@rosariowatkins3215]

Thanks for you show

[@evastreit6115]

Hey Susan, it would have been really great if you would have mentioned, that people should look out for physical scrubs that don't contain micro-plastics. Just for the sake of us all - let's spread awareness where we can...

[@shaillyvarun]

Hi !! Can u please put your then and now pictures without makeup !!

[@lanekersey]

I'm a nursing mama and would love to have a video on skin care. I didn't realize you couldn't use some products while pregnant/ nursing. Can you recommend some products that are safe?

[@crachellaka]

Thank you so much for this info!! How do you feel about a toner?

[@kardelenkeskin4530]

Can you suggest a skin care routine for people with different types of skin e.g. people with acne what steps they should have vs. People with dry skin cos I’m assuming it will be slightly different

[@babylhakyila6034]

I am watching ur video for first time ... it’s like 3 minutes gone and I loved it all.. one subscription from me
