I Tested 10 Step Korean Skincare Routine for 10 DaysLiah Yoo Skincare Routine



Hey y'all! Today I'm sharing this 10 step Korean skincare routine that seems to be going quite crazy here and there and also I tried it out for 10 days to see if there's any results and show you guys is this routine really worth it So let's get started First of course got to remove that makeup. I actually applied makeup just to remove it for you guys hahaha anyways Koreans are quite big in using cleansing oils or cleansing balms to put down the makeup A common misconception is that cleansing oil can cause acne and this is totally not true. Oil alone does not cause acne and the sebum your skin naturally creates is there to protect and heal it so Don't ever fall into those oil free product gimmicks I really love oil cleanser because it just dissolves makeup in no time without leaving any residues while leaving your skin really moisturised. I'm sure many of you guys are now very aware of that double cleansing method that a lot of Korean women live by.

I don't know a single friend to be honest who wear makeup and just skip the double cleansing method I highly recommend this routine and, as Koreans are very very anal about skincare in general but when it comes to cleansing we just become really really anal haha Incorporating another water-based cleanser, AKA foam cleansers, can remove any residues or impurities. I recommend you guys to go for the one that has (a) low pH level, so it doesn't strip your skin out My favourite step! (The) exfoliating step is often overlooked but it's something a lot of skin care junkies would never ever mhm girl skip out because it is the key to that smooth and glowing skin Exfoliating pads or chemical exfoliators are becoming a massive trend in Korea People are slowly shifting from the physical exfoliators that can be a little abrasive and irritating at times to these pre-soaked exfoliating cotton pads or just desposible puffs These normally contain chemical exfoliants such as HA (Hydroxy Acids) PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acids) which chemically removes the dead skin cells it's not only milder to use but it's also a exfoliating process so much more easier and enjoyable Toner. Oh! Toner. In many Western countries I believe toner is perceived as astringents or something alka (alkaline) based to wipe your face out But in Korea toner is more considered as a bridge in between cleansing and your actual skin care regime It helps (in) balancing your skin's pH level and preps your skin to absorb the following products way way way better A lot of essences (in) Korea come in a lot of fluid, watery consistency and we call these boosting essence or just boosters or water essence I've gone through so many, like, numerous bottles of boosting essence from multiple brands over the years And I really believe it not only hydrates your skin, but also refines, resurfaces and also just softens and smoothes into your skin texture It's amazing guys If I only had one skin care product to invest in it would definitely be a serum.

Serums are the highlight of your skincare regime and the most potent and concentrated treatment that actually works to treat whatever skin issues or skin concerns you want to target. Think other steps of skincare routine as a hydrating treatment But with serums you can actually really experiment and get the most out of it when you have specific skin concerns. I want to fade these acne scars at the moment and discolorations, so I'm investing in a lot of brightening serums at the moment. We all know the importance of eye cream because mom told you so and moms are always right You better just listen to her haha but yeah, it's the category that we most neglect to actually apply it.

But remember the eye area is the most delicate skin on your entire face. Meaning that it'll be the first part to show ageing, wrinkles and everything. So nourish the hell out of it! You wouldn't go a day without drinking water, right? Well, you shouldn't go a day without moisturising too. Moisturising is crucial to treating all types of skins out there, whether you have dry skin, oily skin, acne prone skin or aged skin.

Hydration is a must. Also by moisturising you're helping the skin cells to rapidly repair themselves and turn over fresh cells. Which means huge anti-ageing benefits are down the road! Also don't you just like the bounciness of your skin after applying a moisturiser? Because *what kind of sound is this? Like lip smacking?* I mean I do... Now this is where you can have some fun in your skincare routine! Masking is my daily ritual, my meditation to feed my soul.

(Kinda weird way of putting it but okay) One of the biggest trends in Korea that's going on at the moment is the one mask a day to achieve that naturally healthy, beaming, glowing, radiant skin and I find my makeup just applies way smoother in the following morning so I believe it works by the way, I was snapchatting here so you can follow me there, if you want to, totally up to you But I would... ...Appreciate if you guys do to see my daily life, like me masking *adorable chuckle* besides sheet masks I love peel-off masks, wash off types and also sleeping masks too. Koreans grow up with sunscreen we are educated that UV rays are the most harmful factor in ageing your skin and I find it really really funny though whenever I go travel and visit the beaches I can spot any Koreans or Asians just slathering on heaps of sunscreens all over their body with a big hat or a visor Whereas everyone else is just rubbing tanning oils and even getting almost naked to soak up the sunlight So did my skin improve over the last 10 days? Well have a look! I started this routine out with a red, blotchy and quite irritated skin with a lot of pimples around my jawline and cheeks another issue I had was uneven skin tone because of my (the) discoloration I had I didn't really notice any difference for the very first few days to be honest but things started to change from day six my pimples started to fade and my skin looked a lot clearer and quite even Overall the best improvement is probably the skin texture my skin felt really really soft and smooth and quite moisturised, hydrated and very very glowy (sooooo much better than mine tbh I have so many moles on my skin OwO) (you could say its a GLOW up) (look at that beauty!!) (HHHHH TEACH ME YOUR WAYS) Now a lot of you guys might be wondering is this extensive routine really worth it? To be frank it wouldn't improve your skin overnight it's not really a magical and miraculous prescription that suits everyone's routine and everyone's skin And it is quite a lot to do this every single day for busy and lazy girls like us I mean aren't we all? However I have been sticking to this routine on and off for a couple of months now with some tweaks Realistically I would suggest you guys to either use a toner or an essence then layer on the serum, and jump into a moisturiser right away Sheet masks and exfoliations can be done twice a week or more depending on your time preference or skin condition and your skin will still see results don't forget to subscribe if you found this video helpful Let me know your favorite skincare products below. Thanks for watching and I'll see you guys later.

Bye Byeeee... Bye!.

I Spent 600 On French Skincare!!



Hello Internet. So today, I bring you
delights from city Pharma in Paris France.
Where I went recently after a patient told me about it. And I hadn't heard
about it before. I was like oh my god this place sounds amazing!
I must go.

So a way I went on the Eurostar, which if you haven't tried you
should really try because it's very quick two hours from London to Paris
it's amazing. So without further ado let's dip into my bags! First of all we
have Nuxe Paris. Now my French at school was to be honest really really poor so
I'm gonna do my best when I pronounce these names. I got this because it was
this cool like travel pack and I just thought why not? Let's give it a go I
travel I pack let's do both.

So it's got a face cleansing and makeup removing gel,
a moisturizing cream. I actually bought it for this which is the multi-purpose
dry oil for face body in hair because when I am traveling, because I have
extensions they tend to get quite dry towards the end. So I do like an oil to
take with me and if you are traveling with hand luggage it's a bit of a pain
in the backside taking a massive oil because well obviously it takes up so
much space. But this is teeny tiny and very cute hand and nail cream which I
will not be using because my hands very rarely get dry.

And this was quite
exciting a precious scented shower oil with a golden shimmer. Next up French
classic La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm b5. I bought this one because I've
actually tried it before and I think it's really good after you've had a
chemical peel. So when you're peeling after a medium depth chemical peel and
your skin's like coming off in the sheets and it's really really dry and ick this
is a really nice soothing cream to put on.

It's a bit light for bapathan so stick
it in the fridge and then you use it when your
skin is really really struggling. Next up resultime by Colin Paris
anti-aging mattifying fluid with zinc. Pores are reduced. I just bought this
because I thought it sounded cool and think is kind of good for people who
have got acne and I do suffer a little bit sometimes so I thought oh just give
it a go.

I did go a bit crazy over there. Another La roche-posay, do you know what
I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce this because I'm just going to
humiliate myself on YouTube but it's got some kind of color in it for correcting
imperfections let's say no more. This is not the final La Roche-Posay item
that I have, Redermic C which contains vitamin C. I don't know why the British
people in general are so bad at foreign languages perhaps we just don't try hard
enough, certainly wish that I had tried harder at French when I was at school
life lesson.

Then last La roche-posay item Effaclar anti sebum 8 hours, got it
because I do have a bit of an oily t-zone even though I have been on Roacutane in the past. Oh dry oil for face body and hair. So this has got this
really cool attractive shimmer to it which I bet if you've got a tan I mean
it looks amazing but since I don't tan I'm not quite sure
why I bought it because I think it might not look that great on me, but I just saw it
was so pretty I'm gonna have that that's what I did. It's a nice bottle as well
lovely chic glass thing very nice looking for your bathroom cabinet or
having out you know just to make you look a bit more sophisticated
joking obviously.

And I got this Klorane dry shampoo with oat milk. Now I do like
a dry shampoo because if you have extensions, it is a bit of a pain washing
your hair everyday because it's a pain to dry them and you're more likely to
take out the extension if you're continually blow-drying your hair.
Nevertheless I do actually wash my hair most days but for those days where you
just don't have time or say you're in a bit of a hurry, a dry shampoo can't
go wrong really now I normally use the bumble and bumble one which comes in a
powder but I thought let's give it a go. It's French why not. Forgot to
mention that Karl Lagerfeld uses that dry shampoo.

So you know if it's good enough
for Karl Lagerfeld probably good enough for me. Then we have these two lip balms
one Caudilie which is tinted and then one is ultra nourishing lip balm
with honey and precious oils and I do get a chapped lip so maybe good and I don't
normally wear that much makeup either so tinted also good. I'm sure you've
heard this a million times before but I'd like to thank Bioderma and micellar
water for changing my life recently I thought the whole thing was
just a load of rubbish until I tried it and was literally blown away by how much
debris I got off my skin and how untight it felt afterwards. I will be doing a
micellar water video at some point so please check that out.

Onto bag 2 is this Eucerin serum
concentrate which appears to be just hyaluronic acid in six little bottles. Now
you know me I like how hyaluronic acid on my skin and in my face.
Quarterly Beauty elixr check out my pronunciation there, and I
honestly can't remember why I bought this everyone talks about it apparently
why do you talk about it? Why do they talk about it? Did I I bought
two!  God this is what happens did you get older. I'm 36 and I can't remember why I
make certain decisions Wow okay well I'll report back. Okay along the theme of
spraying things on to my face I don't know what they are
we've got LA roche-posay so I haven't finished, Zero zinc sulfate solution for cleansing and soothing.

Honestly I don't know let's try. Now on to one of my favorite brands
SkinCeuticals. As you know or maybe you don't know but they don't sell the body
the body section over here in the UK. They only sell it abroad so whenever I
go away I like to pick up some skinceuticals body correct items.
So we've got the body tightening concentrate and the neck chest and hand
repair.

So this one's for brightening and this ones for tightening and I already
love these products. So we went a bit crazy with the old Talika
mainly because what look at this back up 3d the first push-up effect serum for
the buttocks for your bum it's a serum just for your bum well world we live in
now and then we've got the first lifting effect bust serum it's got one for your
bum one for your boobs. Does it work we shall see. Bioderma
purifying concentrate gentle peel smooth skin with blemishes.

Avene
cleansing gel I have used this quite a lot in the past and I just bought it
because I like it and it's also travel size.
That's why I got it another Avene item from a third party thrown in it's a
micellar water but this one's for people with oily or blemish prone skin which I
do have so again another life-changing experience in a bottle. Their resultime neck and decollete cream with vectorize
micro collagen or we're getting towards the end there. Deep cleansing exfoliator
again from Caudalie with its cute little would top. Late creme concentrates
makeup primer all skin types people allegedly go wild for this so can't wait
to try it.

The last item is anti-pollution hydro
defense mist. You know I love spraying stuff on my face I don't know what it is
so let's yeah its fresh Patyka Paris yeah, i don't know.I hope you enjoyed the Parisian
skincare haul and check back later to see exactly what I think about each one
of the products! Don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and if you've
tried any of these products and if one is your particular favourite please let

Subscribe to our channel & click on the bell icon to never miss a video from Outstyle Hello, & welcome back to my channel. Lets Cleanse Guys! It's very important that you should keep your environment clean It is very important that you should properly cleanse your face Today's Video is the most requested segment Where you have been asking me, What is my cleansing routine? How do I remove my makeup? Which products do I use? How do I prep my skin before makeup? So today we will talk about cleansing There are different types of cleansing routines One is to get rid of daily pollution, dust that settles on your skin, for that Mild cleansing is fine and other is makeup removing cleansing regime! There is a lot makeup, that I have to remove properly When I was a teenager, someone told me few things At the age of 13, I got my first pay cheque Somebody told me two things, and I stick to it. First, Always remove your makeup before going to bed Secondly, Always use hot water. Not even boiling water or warm water, in between Now what is the issues of using wipes I think wipes doesn't remove your makeup They are harsh on your skin Wipes are very expensive And lastly, they doesn't remove anything And one more thing Wipes are cold.

I have stopped using makeup removing wipes. Maybe this would help, if you have acne, allergy and you thing you are not following the right cleansing regime. You can try what I do. And you will see a difference I'm sure of that I used wipes, then I didn't liked them And then I switched to these normal sponges These sponges are very reasonable, very cheap There was a problem that I faced while using them, that is they are harsh You can never use these sponges on your eyes My checks are very skin, extremely red and easily irritated We will talk about the best way we can do manually And then I came a crossed Konjac sponge Yes Konjac Sponge is made up of Konjac Plant roots It has many properties, it absorbs water This is what it looks like I got this from Sephora There are available in different colors Charcoal properties are good for your acne I'll remove it from the packaging It's hard and small in the beginning, when you'll remove it from the packaging It is very rough and hard! But you are not suppose to use it directly Keep it in Hot water not boiling.

I need hot water direct from the tap In this hot water, I'll dip my konjac sponge For the first time, we will soak it for 15 minutes. After 4 to 6 weeks you need to change the konjac sponge Once it's ready, its safe for your face I have original white sponge, that is made  from the plant root of konjac While it's getting ready, there are two ways One thing that you need to do is, prep your face for that I need my OMG. When It will be soaked properly in water, it will increase its size Now I'll tell you what kind of cleansers do I use This is a very reasonable cleanser This is a skin o2 I like this cleanser when you apply it, there is a tingling sort of feeling You can directly apply it to the sponge and then apply it on to your face The lipstick and eye make up take a lot time to dissolve If I'm wearing this red Stunna fenty beauty lip paint, do you think it will take of so easily. How do you like this? This joker look, is just for time been You need some time for your eye make up to dissolve.

The first thing that you will do is remove your eye makeup I'm against these water proof mascaras You should not go for water proof mascaras, instead go for good quality mascaras Unless its your wedding I use Kiko mascara, and that i quite reasonable I'm using Sephora waterproof eye makeup remover I Love it, you need to shake it before using it You need to use it on your eyelashes first You can directly apply it by using your fingers I know you enjoy my conversation Very nicely, gentle massage on your eye lashes What is this? What is happening with me? Please get rid of this red lipstick First yo take it off by this, and then you can use your sponge Lets see whether my eyes are soft I'm gently massaging. I'm not pulling them off I'll remove it with my konjac sponge, I'll not recommend any other sponge It's very cute It's soft, silky and smooth That's good for acne treatment It's very gentle on the skin, that is what I love about it This was one way of using it. With firm hands, gently massage on the face. Please, Handle it gently Order it online The Konjac sponge Very gently on the eye area two times is enough,  if you have not applied foundation, but never once And see no makeup Now we need to exfoliate our skin, by using Sephora exfoliating powder I use Oatifix fresh face mask by lush And then I leave it there for 5 minutes The mask, I'll use it on every alternate day For lips I'll use Pout prep Apply a little bit with your finger My skin is breathing now I can feel the freshness Lastly I'll apply my Maracuja oil by Tarte You can mix any oil for fragrance Without make up This is the look after cleansing You should glow like me, you should shine like me.

I know it's very difficult If you like this video, give me a thumbs up Leave your comments, very important B'bye & stay clean.

How To Minimize Large PoresSkincare Solutions for Clogged Pores & Blackheads



Finally, today I'm touching on the most requested topic ever which is about Pores! How to minimize the enlarged pores or how to at least minimize the look of the pore, and how to deal with congested and clogged pores like blackheads and whiteheads I partnered up with the Pond's Institute to deliver more science-based, research-based, and more solution-based skincare tips for you guys, so let's get started. Three main causes of large pores The very first one being very, very, interestingly your skin sagging or losing its firmness. An easier way to understand this is to think about your bellybutton, and I know it sounds gross but this is the easiest analogy I can think of right now so consider your bellybutton as your pore on your surface of the skin. When you eat a lot your belly grows, right? [The] firmness and the plumpness of your belly is going to somewhat provide a cushion around your bellybutton making your bellybutton look smaller.

If you have a flatter belly, your bellybutton will look more obvious because there's simply no fat that's surrounding. So this is what's simply happening to our face as well it's no different, I promise you. Simply, the more mature our skin gets, it's going to lose its elasticity It's going to slow down in the collagen production and the elastin support that used to provide a really good cushion to hide the pores. So if you're over 30 and above, that's when you want to induce your collagen production with the help With Vitamin A derivatives like Retinol, Retinoic Acid, Retinoid Vitamin B3, like Niacinamide, Vitamin C.

Like L-Ascorbic Acid is a wonderful, wonderful active ingredient that can induce the collagen production. But if you're in your teens and your 20s I don't think it's necessary to incorporate these protein-active ingredients but what I demand you to do is to hydrate and moisturize really, really well and never neglect to do it because I know so many of you guys neglect moisturizing, neglect hydrating and keep drying their skin out because it seems like it's oily but the truth is, the drier your skin becomes the more visible your pores are going to look You just need more hydration and moisturization with good humectants, like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, which is probably in a lot of products that you already use, so never neglect to moisturize. The second main cause is definitely the excessive sebum production. I have a full dedicated video on how to manage oily skin How to control the sebum production in a very healthy manner so definitely go check out that video I gave out a lot of useful tips that doesn't incorporating drying out your skin It's definitely something that will help your skin to find its own balance I know in summertime, a lot of you guys tend to get oilier including myself as well I mean the heat itself will raise the temperature of our skin speeding up the trans-epidermal water loss process meaning that your skin is losing the water content inside the skin and what your skin tends to do is that they want to balance that out they want to compensate the dehydration so they pump out more oil to compensate that So basically, in summertime you want to manage the heated skin like the temperature of your skin and keep it cool and chill.

Secondly, you want to take care of your dehydrated skin So green tea matcha cotton pad mask comes really, really handy Especially in summertime it's something that I really really love doing I simply saturate a  bunch of cotton pads with matcha Or green tea. You can use even green tea bags and just store it in the fridge it not only cools down the skin but green tea is naturally known for its very very amazing sebum regulating property Second thing that you can do is to store a sheet mask or store your toners or your essence in the fridge and then apply that, and to not only fix the dehydration but also regulate your sebum production Niacinamide AKA Vitamin B3 AKA my Holy Grail Ingredient is going to be a very wonderful superstar ingredient in your skincare game so something like Pond's Flawless White Day Cream that contains Niacinamide is not only going to help with you with hydrating, moisturizing your skin but it's also going to regulate the sebum production So moving on to the last main cause of large pores is definitely and obviously Congested Pore Problems so any kind of accumulated dirt or dead skin cells that build up inside the pore gland and any kind of traffic jam that's happening is going to physically enlarge the pores and also the bad habits like squeezing and picking on the pores or picking on the pimples will cause enlarged pores Before we jump into the solution I want to briefly touch on the FAQs about clogged pores and congested pores that I collected on my instagram so the very first question is "Does the steaming really open up the pores?" The heat is going to soften the hardened oil inside the pore tunnel so it's going to make it easier to extract the pore That's why a lot of estheticians will kind of warm up your skin a little bit before they do any kind of extractions That being said, "is blackhead extraction recommended?" This is such a tricky one to answer because I know regular extraction that's done professionally and correctly can do wonders in keeping your pore clear However in most cases at home, a lot of you guys try to squeeze it too hard, press it too hard damaging the skin cells, enlarging the pores just worsening the problem and you know, you might have a chance to get infected by bacterias. If you can visit a professional with this matter that will do wonders. "Are pore strips recommended?" (Sighs) I'm--I'm done guys.

I'm-- Solution for congested skin problem The basic step should be properly removing your makeup and I know it sounds really cliche but when I say "properly" I really really mean it because so many of you guys rely on makeup wipes and there's still makeup, dirts that are clogging your pores I find double cleansing methods to be the most effective way in removing the makeup but also the kindest way to respect your skin barrier function Use a dedicated makeup remover like cleansing oil, cleansing cream, cleansing balms Step number two is exfoliating regularly with BHA, AKA Salicylic Acid This is a chemical exfoliant that is oil soluble Now, don't let the chemical exfoliants scare you Don't let the name with acid scare you at all It's going to be way more gentle and more effective than the physical scrubs that you might be using right now Inside the pores, it's mainly oil so what it means is that BHA has an ability to penetrate and meet the oil and dissolve the oil and clean the pores if you use BHA probably two or three times a week with the strength of probably 2% is going to really help preventing the blackhead formation Step Number Three is using an absorbing ingredients such as Charcoal, Bentonite Clay Kaolin Clay and these are the ingredients that knows how to draw the impurities out of the pores However if you keep using it in a daily basis it does have a possibility to dry out your skin as well so finding a good hydrating clay mask is something that I would highly recommend you guys to do it Clay mask have better tends(?) To reach the pores than any kind of physical scrubs that you might use but it's not going to be as penetrating as chemical exfoliant such as Salicylic Acid so if you use BHA in conjunction with clay mask in a regular basis in your skincare routine I guarantee that you're going to prevent more stubborn blackheads from forming Step number four is Wearing less layers of makeup Especially in summertime your skin is already really Really oily and sweaty and when that's mixed up with your foundation More chance to clog your pores so in summertime probably wearing less makeup or opting for a foundation that you know it's not going to clog your pores is crucial Or go liberate your skin from foundation Just use sunscreen and a little bit of concealer That's something that I would do in summertime and that has been working immensely
in keeping my pores less congested Last step is to use sunscreen Deliberately and reapply it if you can I know a lot of you guys steer away from sunscreen because it seems like it's clogging your pores Just go through a little bit more trials and errors to find the right sunscreen Do not give up because UV light not only causes free radical damage giving your skin that oxidative stress it's going to cause inflammation it's going to break down the collagen meaning that your skin is going to mature easily Therefore it all drills down to the poor problems that I was talking about before it speeds up the lipid peroxidation it can make your sebum gloopier and oilier and it's going to have more chance of clogging the pores you can have more breakouts all because of the UV light if you have to take away one thing out of this entire video I would definitely say use more sunscreen Hope this video was helpful I will leave more articles or more references that you can read up on in the info box below as well as some product
recommendations so I hope you guys can check it out there and you are more than welcome to join this Palm Palm Fam by hitting that red subscribe button down below I'll speak to you guys on my instagram @aboutliahyoo Till then, stay healthy and happy! Bye!.

How to Fix Dry and Dehydrated Skin (Winter SOS Skincare)Lab Muffin Beauty Science



Hi it's me Michelle from Lab Muffin
Beauty Science, your resident skincare science nerd. Today I'm going to be
talking about dry and dehydrated skin and the different ways to treat them. You
might have noticed that your skin gets flaky in cold and dry weather. It might
make you feel prickly or itchy or like your skin's stretched tight across your
face.

How do you fix it? Well, that depends on whether you have dry or dehydrated
skin. Dry and dehydrated skin are similar in lots of ways.
Both are worse in cold and dry weather, can cause flaky skin, and can be treated
with moisturizers and other skin care products. But here's the big difference:
dry skin lacks oil and dehydrated skin lacks water. Dry skin is a skin type which means it's
built into your skin and isn't going to change too much.

It means that your skin
doesn't produce enough oil and it's the opposite of oily skin. Oil is important
in your skin to keep it flexible and to keep it waterproof. It stops water from
getting in and getting out of your skin. It also stops other chemicals from
getting in and out.

How much oil your skin produces mostly depends on your
genes but it can also be affected by diet, stress, and the weather. Skin gets
drier when you age and oil production can be reduced by some medications like
hormonal birth control, accutane or isotretinoin, and
spironolactone. If your skin is producing the right amount of oil, in the
Goldilocks zone of not too little and not too much, it's called normal skin. If
different parts of your skin fall into different categories,
it's called combination skin.

Dehydration is commonly referred to as a skin
condition since it can happen to anyone at any time and your skin's hydration
levels can change suddenly, very quickly. Any skin type - dry, oily, normal or
combination - can lose too much water and become dehydrated. Hydration is important
for your skin. Having the right level of water in the
right places keeps your skin flexible, plump and smooth.

It also makes sure that
the normal biological processes inside your skin are working properly.
For example, desquamation, the shedding of dead skin cells, doesn't work properly
without proper hydration. Usually dehydrated skin happens when your skin
barrier is weakened so it can't effectively slow down water from
evaporating. This water evaporation is called transepidermal water loss or TEWL. Dehydration can be caused by lots of
things: cold dry weather, overwashing, overexfoliating and wind or sun exposure.

In
general dehydrated skin isn't caused by not drinking enough water,
unless you're drinking a dangerously low amount. Now how can you work out if your
skin's dry or dehydrated? Firstly let's talk about skin type. To work out if you're
oily or dry, see which of these two descriptions fits your skin better. Oily
skin usually has large pores and blackheads especially in the t-zone: your
forehead, chin and nose area.

It's more prone to acne and breakouts. If you have oily
skin you might have visible shiny patches of oil on your skin or see
greasy spots on your pillowcase. If you touch your face you might get some oil
on your fingers. You probably don't use too much moisturizer and you might
notice that your makeup slides around during the day.

On the other hand if you
have dry skin you probably have really tiny pores and no visible shiny oil
patches on your skin. But your skin will be more prone to cracking, rough patches,
fine lines and visible flakes. Moisturizer probably sinks into your
skin very easily but makeup settles into fine lines and creases on your face. If
you can't tell from these descriptions you can try testing using some blotting
paper.

A few hours after washing your face, press the paper onto your nose. If
it sticks to your skin or shows a greasy spot
you're probably oily and if it doesn't you're probably dry. Hydration level is
pretty straightforward. Unlike dryness there's no happy medium:
you want your skin to be as hydrated as possible.

Dehydrated skin feels tight and
stiff instead of soft and plump. Pinching it might cause stiff wrinkles. It can feel like
you have a tough film sitting on your skin.
In general if your skin is dry then it's likely to also be dehydrated as well,
unless you look after it really carefully since oil helps your skin
retain water. If your skin is oily and still feels tight then you almost
definitely have dehydrated skin.

Oily and dehydrated skin feels like a bit of a
paradox: it's like it's oily and dry at the same time, like there's oil sitting on
top of parched leathery skin. Now that you know whether your skin is dry and
lacks oil or is dehydrated and lacks water, or both, let's talk about how to
fix it. Let's start with dry skin. Dry skin needs oil so obviously we need to
put oil back into your skin.

There are two categories of oil ingredients in
skincare: emollients and occlusives. Sometimes reading about these terms can
get a bit confusing since they're used in different ways even by dermatologists
and cosmetic formulators so keep that in mind. These are the definitions I'm using.
Emollient ingredients sink into the skin making it more flexible and
smoothing it out. Occlusive ingredients partially block water from evaporating.
They won't form a perfect film that stops everything from evaporating, but
they will help.

Emollient ingredients include most natural plant oils like
jojoba oil, natural skin components like cholesterol and ceramides, and stearate
and oleate esters. Occlusive ingredients include petrolatum or petroleum jelly,
paraffin, mineral oil, dimethicone and lanolin. There are also some less
occlusive ingredients that still work as occlusives
like shea butter and waxes like beeswax. Most occlusives are emollient as well and
emollients are usually also slightly occlusive so the two categories aren't
mutually exclusive.

If your skin is dry you'll want to look
for moisturizers that have occlusives and emollients high on the ingredients
list. In general products with a heavier texture will be richer in these oil
ingredients and suitable for dry skin. Some moisturizers that are really
popular for people with dry skin are The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors and HA,
Cerave Night Cream, Clinique Moisture Surge, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. You can also try using facial oils like
pure plant oils or oil blends.

They're really great on their own if you don't
have dehydrated skin or if you have a bunch of sensitivities and have to avoid
a lot of ingredients. They also work really well in multi-step routines.
Popular oils include argan oil, rosehip oil, avocado oil, squalene and squalene.
Coconut oil is also popular but it can make some people break out really badly. It's not just moisturizers that can help
out dry skin - you might also want to try looking into cleansers that contain oils
as well to stop your cleansing routine from washing off too much oil from your
skin. Non-foaming cleansers and cleansing oils are good for cleaning skin without
stripping it.

French pharmacy brands like Bioderma La Roche-Posay and Avene have
some great non-foaming cleansers that people with dry skin love. Nivea and QV
have some really great products too. You can get cleansing oils from lots of
brands like Simple, Shu Uemura, DHC, Dermalogica, and Hylamide. Micellar waters are good too if you want
a less oily product, but I'd recommend rinsing them off afterwards like you
would with a regular cleanser.

Dehydrated skin needs water but unfortunately just
splashing more water on your face isn't actually helpful. If your skin gets
waterlogged it gets leakier so it's worse at holding on to its water. Instead
what you're looking for is firstly humectants. Humectants are ingredients
that bind to water and stay on your skin, sort of like little sponges that sit on
your skin and keep it wet.

Examples of humectant ingredients are glycerin,
sorbitol, glycols, PCA, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and urea. Alpha hydroxy acids
like glycolic acid and lactic acid also work as humectants. For my dehydrated
skin I always look for moisturizers with humectants high on the ingredients list.
They usually come in lighter textures that are really great for oily skin. Some
of my favorite moisturizers with humectants for dehydrated skin are
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel and La Roche-Posay lotion, Toners containing
humectants are also fantastic since you can use them as a weightless layer in
your skincare routine.

My favorites are Klairs Supple Preparation Toner and Jurlique
Activating Water Essence. Hada Labo Lotion is also really popular. You
can also use slightly heavier humectant serums like Indeed Hydraluron. Your
skin also naturally contains minerals called the natural moisturizing factor
that acts as humectants.

Thermal waters are a really good way of adding these
minerals back into your skin after they get rinsed out after washing. I also look for cleansers containing
humectants for my dehydrated skin since they help replace the humectants that
cleansing strips away. I particularly like Nivea Soothing Cleansing Mousse, QV
cleansers and Neutrogena Hydro Boost cleansers. I also only wash my face with
cleanser in the evening and I just use plain water in the morning, so I keep my
skin barrier as intact as possible, since cleansing is probably the most damaging
thing you're forced to do to your skin on a regular basis.

This cuts down on
your skin's exposure to surfactants that make it leakier. Occlusives can also be
really good for dehydrated skin because once you've got some humectants on
your skin you can seal the water in with an occlusive product like Vaseline,
sleeping masks or other heavy moisturizers that have lots of
occlusives. Some of these occlusive ingredients I've mentioned before:
petrolatum, paraffin, mineral oil, dimethicone, lanolin, shea butter and
beeswax. If your skin is dehydrated and oily you'll probably want to avoid
occlusive ingredients during the day since they tend to be heavy and greasy,
but I found that for my oily and dehydrated skin if I use occlusives on
top of my usual skin care products when I go to bed at night it's fantastic for
giving me an overnight facial sort of effect.

And I don't really care if I'm
loaded up with moisturizer and look really really shiny in the safety of my
own room. There are a bunch of other things that
you can do to help your dry or dehydrated skin suffer less. Protecting
your skin from sun, heat and wind is important to keep it happy. Air
conditioning can also dry out your skin so you might want to look into a
humidifier if it's unavoidable.

Avoid long hot showers. Harsh cleansers and
soaps now quickly strip your skin of its natural oils and humectants. Products
that are high in SD alcohol, also called ethanol, ethyl alcohol, or denatured
alcohol, can also speed up water evaporation. While ethanol binds to water
like a humectant, it evaporates instead of staying on the skin so it can
actually evaporate and take water along with it.

It also disturbs your skin
structure a little which means it can increase water evaporation and it can
wipe away oils as well. But there aren't any other permanent effects so if
there's a product that you love that has high alcohol, just make sure you use lots
of moisturizing ingredients along with it. Using harsh products too frequently
can also make your dry or dehydrated skin unhappy. Rough physical exfoliants
and drying active ingredients like retinoids and benzoyl peroxide can make
dry and dehydrated skin worse.

That's a guide to dealing with dry and dehydrated
winter skin. Of course your skin can be dry or dehydrated year-round and these
tips will apply as well. Thanks for watching my video! If you liked it please
