Liah Yoo what AHA mask irritated your skin this much?

[@faizahyh9399]

Liah Yoo being my skincare lecture please 😁💕

[@AgathaSesilya]

please bring back the cleanser :(

[@wh3atfield]

Hi Liah! I had a question so my skin barrier is not great and i'm trying to heal it by using more soothing products and my face wash isn't very calming so what do you think about the Soon Jung face cleanser? Is it good for healing sensitive skin? Thank you!❤

[@SimonaShine]

I have one of the most sensitive face skins out there. Here's what you should avoid: - using too much hot water on your face when showering - cleansers - pay attention to what you put on your face,if you use many products and find that your skin turns red, begin applying only one a day until you find the culprit and eliminate it - don't use harsh exfoliants - don't scrub your face when drying it with the towel,be extremely gentle and dab only - blowing the hot air of the hair-dryer directly on your face - applying anything like face creams and lotions right after the cleaning routine can irritate it, you wanna wait a few hours so the skin can go back to a relaxed state - pay attention to natural oils,they too can cause irritation if you're allergic - protect your skin with sunscreen if possible,at any time of the year or wear a large hat to protect it from sunlight (it also makes you look classy 😉) - pay attention to waxing,it too can irritate the skin - don't use facial peelers - don't use bar soaps,certain types are really really harsh - when showering,try to avoid any shampoo on your face,keep your head tilted to the back, as much as possible - facial steamers - dermarollers - direct sunlight and heat from any source on your face (heaters and fireplaces) - makeup If I remember anything else,I'll come back and edit it.

[@ayaangavandi6848]

can you suggest a good basic moisturizer for sensitive skin?

[@SimonaShine]

@@ayaangavandi6848 unfortunately no. I haven't yet found a good one myself. I personally use coconut oil.

Liah you literally read my mind. I was looking into healing my skin from constant redness and irritation. Thank you so much for this informative video!

[@LiahYoo]

Hope you recover well :)

[@thaodao6327]

This is exactly what i just went through. I got a terrible rash/peeling/irritation with several small bumps on my cheeks that actually hurt. I got them after trying out 3 different new products at once :(((. And I couldn’t agree with you more. I was thinking about that Avene cream at first but I saw fragrance in the ingredient list that stopped me from buying it. Instead I got the Vichy 89 hydrating booster which only has 11 ingredients. After 4 days of using it, my skin has gone back to normal. All the bumps have disappeared. Definitely should stay indoors during this period guys, just don’t go out under the sun!!

[@wullivieh]

I checked just now and this one actually doesn't seem to have fragrance (however, some other Avene products do I think). But still thanks a lot for the other recommendation! My skin is really freaked out at the moment, and I want to try the Avene moisturizer, but if it doesn't work either, it's always great to have some other products to test on the list.

[@wafahussain5986]

What facewash did you use with the hydrating booster?

[@katejessener]

Yes! The video I've always needed but could never find! I've never come across anyone who had skin as sensitive as mine, as I get allergic reactions super easily and have been through every type of allergic reaction- pimples, red inflamed skin, swollen face, you name it! I've literally just gotten over an allergic reaction yesterday 😭 This will definitely come in handy, thank you so much! You're a lifesaver 💖

[@mahonia535]

amazingpm3, I also have sensitive skin! One wrong product and then two hours later I get a new pimple. Turns out I get them from fragrance and “bad” alcohol. That’s why I read the ingredients. Also when I get super stressed. The next day, I get five new pimples. Sad really. But I know how to treat em. I’m just glad that I’m patient and consistent with my products.

how long can you store the collodial oat water? could you make in bulk and store for daily use? I have eczema and sensitive skin so that would help me tremendously!

[@y4miko]

I am on an accutane treatment so my skin is extremely dry, sensitive, flaky, red, and even raw in some places. My skincare routine is a VERY gentle cleanser once a day (cetaphil is very good and cheap) then use the La Roche Posay Cicaplast 2 times a day (more on my lips because they crack on the side and if I don't I end up looking like the joker lol) . this is made to heal scars or raw skin; it accelerates the healing and is anti bacterial. After that for my very dry skin I use Cetaphil chronically dry skin moisturizer at night and the Dr Jart Ceramidin cream. Sometimes when my skin is really bad I use an Avene product made for acne treatment dried skin but I don't know the name of it. this combination is the only one I found that help a lot with the dryness and rawness (is that a word?) of my skin and all the products are good for sensitive skin. Oh and I always use sunscreen during the day too since Accutane make the skin extremely sensitive to the sun!

[@LiahYoo]

Thanks for sharing your skincare routine and your accutane journey with us. Stay strong sister 🙏🏼😘💚

[@kentvincentalburan3323]

[@dodo-sr8jp]

i just love your videos so much! there are so many skincare videos out there these days, but most seems to simply promote skincare products and not really explain too well. Your videos are so helpful, I never get bored of watching them and I actually *get* something out of them! Love you xx

[@Vtoralex]

I wish you made this video a little earlier! My skin had a really bad reaction to an oil sample I got from Origins (I know, I know, not the best brand to shop for skincare 🙃), leading to a red dry burnt patches all around my skin. I watched your videos on skincare detox and moisturizers for sensitive skin and decided to follow your advice and ditch all of my skincare, which was ridiculously hard ‘cause I’m a junkie. So, here’s what I’ve been doing for the past three weeks to restore the balance of my skin, if anyone’s curious: I’m very acne-prone, so I couldn’t imagine skipping cleansing; I used the glossier milky jelly cleanser in the mornings following it up by their regular priming moisturizer and the etude house sunprise sunscreen. In the evenings I used the Krave beauty cleanser and La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Baume B5. My skin’s all back to normal now, but I’ve been really enjoying the simplified regimen so I might keep it up for a little normal. I hope this helps anyone in the same situation :]

[@nikmariaelenabtnikyusoff1366]

Thanks liah. My tip is to layer a thick amount of honey on as a sos mask. Leave it on for at least 15minutes then wash it off.. the irritated & sensitized skin will almost instantly calm down, it's amazinggg. It moisturizes the skin as well so i skipped a moisturizer bc i of course i'd stop skincare when that happens. It worked for me. I do now and then use the oat as a cleanser in the morning, but i exfolliate with the oat grains (mashed up with water) as well cuz it's gentle enough. But can't leave it on for too long since it would be hard to come off. Hope these help.

[@Poemi10304]

Maria Nik I have read that when you use honey, it should be raw. Haven’t tried it before though.

[@pho9950]

My skin went through really bad eczma a few months back, it was so raw, red and so sensitive. And what I did for face washing was to use green tea water that had been cooled down in the fridge and it calmed down my skin soo much!

I've been watching so many Liah Yoo videos that I actually already know what she's going to say in this video. I have dry and sensitive skin (psoriasis). I discovered that I was allergic to tea tree so I stopped doing all the skin care steps they say that's going to get rid of my acne. Now I only wash my face once a day with cetaphil and use rose hip oil which is surprisingly the same thing she said in this video. IT WORKS GUYS!! Thank you so much Liah!

I used to use micellar water every single day on my skin as my skincare routine and as I was doing that my skin started overly stripping and being irritated. Your tips really helped my skin in to calm the irritation down. I'm currently using the hydrating face wash by the brand Simple and it's really working really well because it's meant for Super sensitive skin and I've stopped using micellar water and instead I've been using the method with oil cleansing to help break down the makeup if i need to. I also have been using aloe vera gel on my skin as a gentle face mask and that has been working very well for me and it's really helped with the visible irritation of my skin.

I have watched all your videos on acne, dehydrated skin and damaged skin barrier. I am vegan and eat pretty healthy, try to stay away from sugar as much as possible (since I've figured out that it causes pimples on my chin and jawline) but still I had acne on other places, red spots and blackheads. I used to double cleans first with an oil and then with a gel cleanser or a natural soap (which made my skin dry and flaky and oily - it was a mess). I thought that's what I'm supposed to do, clean my face very well, since I have acne. Now I use a gentle natural milky cleanser after removing my makeup with oil, and at night I put on jojoba oil before a light moisturizer. In the morning I skip the cleanser and just splash a bit of water on my face then put on moisturizer. Don't use face masks and toner to give my skin a little rest but I wear makeup on work days. It's only been like a week or two but I can feel that my skin is getting better. I have to buy SPF and start applying it as well. Thank you for sharing a different perspective on acne prone skin!

[@RkiveofARMY]

Perfect timing for this video! I’m a uni student so the past month I’ve been extremely stressed and it’s definitely showing on my face. I also work part time so I’ve had liquid foundation on my face for 12+ hours 3-4 times a week... horrible, I know! I’ll take these tips into consideration, thank you so much!

[@bamchii]

I read that the avene moisturizer has mineral oil. Is that safe for acne prone skin? I heard mineral oil can compromise the skin barrier and clog pores.

[@LiahYoo]

It’s perfectly safe :) this doesn’t feel heavy at all

[@bamchii]

Thank you so much for replying! 💕 I’m going to give it a try. Literally everything breaks me out so hopefully this doesn’t.

[@sunnybunny7549]

Emily G. Mineral oil are completely safe especially with people who has acne prone skin because it won't clog pores.This (mineral oil) and squalene are actually better than any other oil in the market.

[@popcornpretzel6720]

Seconding sunny bunny on this! Mineral oil is perfectly safe. It's cosmetic-grade and has been thoroughly refined so there's nothing harmful left.

[@denak1034]

Just found out about the Avene Tolerance Emulsion a few days ago from a ND's video that specializes in acne. Love it! My skin had been going through a hissy fit. Just wanted to note that the Canadian version (probably same as European) does not have mineral oil & I think US version might have silicones too. CDN versions are emulsion & creme, while US is creme & heavy creme.

dear Liah, you just out of a sudden solved the mystery why my skin reacts so bad to avene anti redness / anti irritation moisturizer with spf🤯 🤯wow.

[@nicoleta1882]

I was experiencing really bad peeling after an acne treatment, even on my eyelids. Everything I put on was stinging. I turned to Avene eye cream and it was stinging like mad. Even when the irritation went away and I gave Avene another chance, still I felt stinging on my eyelids... so I wouldn't reccomend it. The only thing I could put on my face and eyelids when my face was peeling and was highly sensitized was the soothing sensitive cream by Primera. I also tried the soothing cream by La Roche, but it never got absorbed on my skin, and it always accumulated on the surface which only highlighted how dry and flaky my skin was. So i definitely highly reccomend Primera soothing skin for highly irritated and sensitized skin. Let me know if any of you have other alternatives that you swear by!

[@natashasadewa934]

Hi liah yoo! I know you are a big help for me and the other! And lately i've been reading articles about steroid acne-which happens to me. So, before you get confused or whatsoever, i used creams from an aesthetic clinic in my country because at that time i have acne (i was 17 years old). Also, at that time i didnt know that acne was common between teenager lol. Anyways, the clinic had dermatologist so it seemed super reliable. But 5 months ago, i just realized that the creams contained antibiotic and steroid and hidroquinon and i had been using it for 2.5 years. How do i know? Someone asked the dermatologist, and i asked for another ingredients to the dermatologist. I was super shocked and decided to stopped all of sudden. Since then, my face became super ugly: acne everywhere, whitehead, blackhead, cystic acne, and from your earlier video, i just realized that i have fungal acne on my forehead. When i searched on the internet, it might be the side effect of the long term usage of antibiotic. And... Since i am big fan of yours and watched almost your videos, do i have to treat my steroid acne the same as other type of acne? I really want to go to another dermatologist but i am afraid if i have to go through the same path. I mean... I read an article and said that steroid topical is used for eczema. And if i have acne, it is best to treat it with benzoyl preoxide, salicylic acid, etc. Something that is more... Light? I know i am a stupid because i stopped the creams all of sudden. Geez, i am more stupid because i went to an aesthetic clinic in the first place. But... Can you help me? I am so confused on how to treat my acne because it's kind of different. Oh. And have you heard about rebound effect-after effect of using steroid? I think i have it. Thank you so much liah, and maybe others who had the same problem as me and want to share their experiences!

[@tianaroy5566]

ooh I suggest using aqueous cream to take off remover when your skin is dry or hyper-sensitive! They're really cheap at the drugstore and you can use them as moisturiser/ mask as well. My dad has a skin condition and the doctors prescribed him aqueous cream and it's been working wonders!

Do you need to make fresh oat water every night? Or are you able to use the same oat water for a while?

[@liao7035]

if your skin is irritated i personally think it’s best to use fresh oat water every night otherwise 3-5 days should be ok on normal skin

[@joanadls]

I used a new one every night. You can make small portions of it. I tried this for a week and it really did improve my skin

[@ameliaporter98]

Joana De los Santos how did it improve your skin? Less acne? Less redness? Etc. Thanks! x

[@JazzC95]

Do the rolled oats have to be organic so that it's safe to use on our faces??

[@joanadls]

Amelia Porter it calmed my skin. No more redness. I had to stop ALL products I'm using and just used oats. After 3 days the redness was gone as well as the itchiness and stinging.

[@fris.eecurly]

Liah this is seriously perfect timing! I used an AHA/BHA toner for 2 nights in a row and woke up to super irritated, itchy skin that left me red bumps ALL over my face. I took an antihistamine and am only using the most gentle of products - CeraVE hydrating cleanser + PM moisturizer and the REN Ultra Calming Rescue mask, it's day 3 and my skin is looking a lot better, but in the future I'm going to try to stay away from the acids!

[@kaliko5245]

afaith145 maybe you were purging? Or the percentage was too high for your skin?

[@fris.eecurly]

I think the percentage was too high for my skin

[@PlushFairytale]

That burn happened to me while using retinol; I also saw your necks reaction to it and it kinda made me fortify the idea of staying away from it. Vit c, tamanu oil, bha/aha, and niacinamide are all I need. 😤

[@melaniecruz4129]

Ahhh I remember that IG story :( I'm glad your skin is better now!

[@fatinnajihah9055]

im totally agree with skip the sunscreen 😭 i have acne prone skin and it’s really hard for me apply the sunscreen 😭

[@SimonaShine]

I use the same cleanser for years now and it's the only thing I put on my face. It's never caused me problems. However,the problem came when I started to apply moisturizers. My skin instantly goes red,it gets swelled and inflamed and I've tried more than one moisturizer. Recently my skin goes patchy red even with coconut oil or olive oil!! This is going insane! I just bought a vitamin C serum and a snail extract face cream and when combined together,its a bomb,it kills my skin. When alone,the face does react bad to the cream almost always. The serum itself did create some reactions too but less than the cream. I noticed that when I wake up,I feel hotness in my cheek area and if I apply anything in that moment,it will react badly! So I have to wash with cold water, quickly, without scrubbing too much,dab the excess water and then I have to wait for a few hours for my skin to stop feeling "hot". Only then I can apply some cream and often,it still becomes red. I'm desperate,after spending all those money on this face cream and serum,I feel like I can't even use it. My cheek area and between my brows are the most sensitive areas.

[@corsicanlulu]

if u need to skip sunscreen u can still kinda protect ur skin w/ carrot seed, and raspberry seed oils, they have some natural sunscreen. also vitamin e is awesome for the sun, its an antioxidant. i use this for indoor sunscreen cuz i dont like putting on sunscreen indoors if im only getting minimal light

[@dorislin9524]

Thank you for the video! Also, I would love to hear about anti-aging skin care for damaged or acne prone skin in the future

[@hanusankar6180]

This girl reads my mind! Much much needed love and as always very informative. And also how are clinique's products especially for acne prone sensitive oily skin,especially their moisture surge moisturiser? any reviews? please help me liah! Lots of love♥️

[@gth2309]

It's 2020, dealing with Covid 19, and I just realized Liah is years ahead of us in that sun visor hat, more like virus visor hat, lol

[@izziegirl398]

I liked the video immediately once she said "bullshit ingredients" You go girl

[@kierahohne6498]

I use Aloe Vera gel. It’s nice and soothing and gently fading the red irritation.

[@mare.vitalis]

Wish I could’ve seen this video two weeks ago! I just got over some sort of contact dermatitis from a product I tried (yes wish I patch tested 😭) would’ve definitely tried that oatmeal water! I followed dr. dray’s advice (she’s a dermatologist youtuber if you’ve ever watched her videos) and minimized my routine to the basic like you suggested. I followed her recommendations of using vanicream cleanser and moisturizer as they lack fragrances and irritants and it did an amazing job. A good skincare detox was most beneficial for my very compromised skin barrier

[@Megan-pq9sr]

Thank you so much for doing this video. My skin has been having this reaction and I've been wondering what to do!

[@maggieprice357]

The best moisturizer to use when this happens is Vanicream. It has absolutely nothing in it that could even remotely cause irritation or allergic reaction. It's truly medical grade skincare in the sense that anyone can use it, even newborn babies and people with the most intolerant skin

[@YT-hs8zb]

Just saw your channel, binging and loving it! I’m wondering if you have Any suggestions on a good regimen for retin A user, I have dry/irritated skin because of retin A use. I also have acne, oily, sensitive prone skin. Would the avene cream cause breakout? Thank you.

[@LiahYoo]

To be honest, I can’t predict how your skin is going to react to the cream. I know that it’s well tolerated by many people and many derms recommend it!

[@YT-hs8zb]

Liah Yoo thank you. I just ordered it, hopefully it helps. What is your skin type?

[@foscahope1426]

She have sensitive and oily skintype I think

[@androschizo]

Also i want to say that i appreciate your skincare videos so much because of the scientific evidences! As a science teacher, i really really love it! Thank you for putting the time into research!

[@kylieeats1639]

I needed this video a couple of weeks ago! I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. Sunscreen irritated my skin so I stopped when my skin was too sensitive. I’m back on sunscreen!

[@LiahYoo]

Yes! Sunscreen everyday 💚

[@alfredolopez4092]

I say also avoid foaming cleaners as well ? As foam can dry out skin

[@shelbyleee24]

If u have acne prone skin is it okay to use a cleansing oil?

[@heavensfallin]

Made all the rookie mistakes after my skin felt a little compromised. Now my otherwise tough skin is red and angry! I’m equipped with my Great barrier relief cream and mental relief from these tips. Off to soak some oats, thanks Liah 🙏🏽

[@joanadls]

I totally agree with this video. Earlier this year I used a product that burnt my face up to my neck. I couldn't put anything because it would sting (not even water... Like touching my face hurt) that bad! I used oatmeal same in this video, stopped all products even sunscreen for 3 days then gradually started moisturizer since my skin felt super dry. Great video liah!

[@cutelooking1488]

Yesss! I combine your matcha cleanser with my cerave pm moisture pm i use it both in the morning and evening. Except i dont cleanse my face in the morning. The matcha cleanser has been so gentle to my skin didnt cause any irritation. The cerave pm moisturizer you must give it a try since its main function is to restore your skin’s natural protective barrier due to your sensitive skin, overexfoliated. As Liah yoo said, stop everythinggggghh guys and goodluck. Before using it i couldnt put anything. Even sheet mask was too harsh for my skin caused my skin so red and itchy and patches. Thanks to the matcha cleanser and the cerave moisturizer !!!

[@marell7605]

The oat water works so well!! Thank you 💗

[@ftislandfan]

Is there an updated version of this? GBR is released already and I was wondering how you can incorporate GBR into healing over exfoliated skin

[@kaaviya._.]

preach, this is my new skincare bible for recovery !!

[@VanPham-zo7xe]

yeah I never clicked so fast on a video! just what i need.. I'll try the oat cleanser right the next morning. thanks Liahyoo

[@susangreen2412]

Liah this video came with perfect timing i bought a aha product and put it on my face and i believe this caused the break out my face to be irritated like a whole new level of irritation. And i used sunscreen to protect the fresh skin layer. My skin is super super sensitive to almost every product i use. I use a cleanser it becomes drying even with a moisturizer, the sunscreen i has irritates my skin but its the only sun screen i can find with zinc oxide. Im not cleansing and only moisturizing lately but its causing acne again and i have no idea what is causing my skin to be irritated all the time ingredient wise. I also get eczema break outs often. I do skip on sunscreen rn whilst healing but the thing is i live in the philippines where the sun is always harsh and even when im indoors, its harsh. I just want to have a healthy facd but if i use products it gets irritated. I dont i get break outs. What do i do, esp. About the sunscreen which irritatss my skin but living in a country that has constant harsh rays all year round. Thank you Basically summary: everything causes my skin to be irritated and i dont know what to do

[@LiahYoo]

Oh no :( seems like you already have broken skin.. have you tired consulting your doctor?

[@susangreen2412]

Liah Yoo ik i have really broken skin and all my attempts make it worse :(( the thing is im only 17 and living with my parents. I dont really have freedom to consult a doctor or dermatologist on my own. My mother is a retired nurse so she just bought me tablets for allergies. Ive been begging to go to a dermatologist for months and i was supposed to go to the doctor today for my eczema breakout until she concluded i dont need to and only need allergy tablets. :(( I dont know what to do anymore i just want healthy skin My mother is a retired nurse but she doesnt specialize in skin care and i doubt an allergy tablet will fix it.

[@srivarisevasphoorthimusician]

[@LiahYoo]

Hope your skin heals soon!🙌🏼

[@sohogrunge]

My fave moisturizer for those situations is the la roche posay cicapair b5 balm. So good! I started using it everyday now too.

[@LiahYoo]

ah that's a good one!

[@alisakorkhin7717]

totally agree! purchased the la roche posay cicapair b5 after seeing on of your videos about two weeks ago. completely changed my skin!! it became so much smoother and much less irritated. highly recommend.
