thank you so much! i didn't want to watch the whole thing. this saved me time
@@bohoberry0 you're very welcome :)
спасибо, я смогла понять благодаря вам, тк плохо понимаю язык)
thank you haha
JUST MORNING OR EVEN DURING THE NIGHT WE GOTTA DO THIS SKINCARE PLEASE REPLY!!
I'm not a skincare geek but one thing that i know that most of people get confused between bacteria and fungus and most of times they use harsh products that kills the bacteria not the fungus and they think bacteria is bad but they actually destroy their skin by killing bacteria, also i really like the way you structured this video, very organized and to the point, keep up Robin!
what kills fungus then!
Indeed. What kills fungus?
Ketaconazole shampoo - can be used on face.
Zinc soap helped my skin and is less harsh than ketoconazole
@@Eric.Kennedy My partner has awful eczema (or something) on his face atm. Would it help, do you think?
Your skin is absolutely radiant
Dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss talks about using a diaper cream as the final step for the same healing properties you talked about. She just posted about it. She calls it “basting”. I’ve been doing it for about a month now and LOVE it. I also use a zinc sunscreen so knew my skin loved zinc.
I love heeeer! I Just came here to talk about the basting video and to see if anyone else would comment on that lmao
I tried Triple Paste at her suggestion. Best $5 suggestions ever!
@@belwynne1386 ugh I live in Brasil and we don't have triple paste 🥺 in tried with nebacetin baby which is 10% zinc oxide but I so wanted to try the triple paste. Sounds amazing. I tried looking to ship here and it's unbelievably expensive in my currency (reais). Wanted to cry lmao
are you wearing the diaper cream to bed? it dries a bit before you go to bed?
@@michy2630 yes, to bed. I try to put it on about 30 mins before bed to soak in, but it stays pretty emollient. I also apply a lot. 🤷🏻♀️
I love that you didn't start out with a focus on the exact skincare you use but more on your philosophy and how it has helped you find things that work. It's always great to see what someone uses but skincare is so individual that knowing how to figure out what works for you is more helpful. I also like how affordable the products are in your routine, proof that you don't need to spend a ton of money to see improvements. I'm very interested in the zinc oxide and at home IPL steps, definitely going to experiment with those.
As a last step at night, I love using the bepanthen cream (the one specifically for sensitive skin). It has done wonders for my dry skin and lips caused by my current accutane treatment. 1000% recommend
This video has changed my life and helped my skin more than any other. It's also saving me a ton of money because i had these products but was using them in the wrong order and wasting them.
This makes me so happy! Thanks for sharing. 🧡 Skincare truly doesn’t have to be crazy expensive. Enjoy exploring and playing 🧴🫧
Your skin is absolutely beautiful!
When I'm not in the mood for doing all the skincare steps at night, I just apply diaper rash ointment followed by shea butter and look in the mirror ever so briefly lol. This caramel skin looks extra grey with this concoction lol. Worth it!
Yes to zinc oxide/diaper cream on your face!! It’s something I learned from Dr Shereen Idris here on CZcams. So yes, it’s dermatologist approved!
Which oxide zinc so you use?
@@Ana-cb2wb It’s “Triple Paste” diaper rash ointment.
Isn't it comedogenic
Great video! I also had amazing results after using a zink oxide cream and would like to share my simple and cheap skincare routine that has done absolute wonders for my rosacea skin. My skin has never looked this good!
Step 1: as a cleanser I use Cetaphil, sometimes I add a little baking soda to it
Step 2: applying a face oil (I use a vitamin E oil)
Step 3: moisturizing my skin with Cetaphil moisturizing cream
Step 4: applying a thin layer of sudocrem (gently tapping it into the skin, leave it on all night)
I also recommend using a face mask 2 times a week made from baking soda and water. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Baking soda is anti-inflammatory, deeply cleanses your pores and makes them less visible. This mask is great for acne as well.
People with rosacea should avoid gluten since it can cause inflammation and you will notice a big difference in your skin (less redness etc.) when you start eating gluten free.
I've never thought about baking soda, but it actually makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
I had acne into my early 30's. It's no fun. Glad you found a routine that works. Feels amazing when you finally have clear skin.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Not only does acne influence our appearance, it’s also painful stuff! So it indeed feels amazing to have it under control. ❤️
How did you personally find balance in your skin?
@@TheScienceofSelfCare A prescription for Finacea really changed my skin.
I’m healing by looking at you 😍. Your smile, dimple and voice 🥰 lovely ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏻♥️
Thank you for sharing! I have pretty severe fragrance allergies, and allergies to citrus oils and a few other ingredients. You're the first person I've seen share skincare options that actually work for sensitive skin.
Omg! the Zinc mask part has been a family tradition that we have inherited from my mum and everyone in the family has been doing it for ages and it works!
Share some tips cause my skin get really dry after using it. I dont know what i am doing wrong ☹. How do you/yourfamily layer yours? What products do you use?
I have such a dryness problem with my skin but recently found something that really moisturizes my skin and I’m so happy. It’s La Roche Posay triple repair moisturizing cream!
@@deedee2218 thank you soooo much, i need that ❤
Yes, Zinc dries your skin. You are not doing anything wrong. @@s.e.2681
@@deedee2218I love it too, I also love there hydrating toleran cleanser 😊
The main skincare advice I got from my dermatologist was about using sunscreen regularly. Gentle cleansing, yes, avoiding things that will cause irritation, sure, but sunscreen. Zinc oxide is also commonly used in wound care.
Agree!! Thanks for sharing! I’d love to have a derm on here as a guest :)
SPF is indeed the most important thing of all. It probably should have gotten more air time! Maybe I’ll make a whole video on spf products because I have tested so many.
I’ve found that many chemical sunscreens tend to make my skin flush and get really warm (I’m pretty sure I also have rosacea), whereas physical sunscreen is soothing, thanks to the zinc. The white cast though… Love the tip about a zinc oxide mask!
@@emkn1479 I use a mineral sunscreen that has zinc and it somehow does not have a white cast after I apply it. My skin is very sensitive too but this one I'm using does not irritate my skin at all. U can try the one from Invity.
This is so good! Thank you! Adapalene and tretinoin have been game changers for me. Keeping it simple with everything else and one active in the morning, which is the thing I explore with as well. Plus always sunscreen! Xx
I have switched my skincare routine to the exact same products as you and im stunned at how well my Rosacea is doing. The struggle is real and i want to thank you!!!
I am about to do the same and i am very excited! My rosacea is so bad currently
What rosacea type are you and did you also have oily skin?
no idea why but ur smile made me SMILE SMM😭 ur very pretty
I really love your skin care routine. Will definitely try watering technique. A side note tho adding an occlusive as a final step is only good if you never added any active ingredients that can be irritating.. doing it after applying a good moisturizer is great. However adding it on top of tretinoin or retinol can cause more irritation
You have beautiful flawless skin! Thank you for the video!😍😍😍
I struggled with similar skin concerns. 10% azeleic acid did absolutely nothing for me but when I moved to prescription 15% strength, it was a complete transformation. Hands down my favorite ingredient
yesss i use a 15% azelaic acid cream and although i struggle with consistency any time i use it as prescribed for two weeks straight my skin is glorious
Interesting! Thank you so much for sharing. I might have to test this out! 🙏❤️
Hi sorry how do you get the azeleic 15% dr has to prescribe ?
@@sharleenduplessis6632 in the United States, you indeed need a prescription from a dermatologist to get any products containing more than 10% azelaic acid. :) there are companies online that can facilitate this through a virtual consultation - hope this helps!
Thank you 🙏
"I have a feeling this is always going to be the case"
Yep. 42 with rosacea and it's always changing. My bro is a chemist who said it very well: when you change on thing in a system like the skin you're changing the whole ecosystem over time. That's why we have to keep changing it up. We are altering the whole ecosystem and the underlying mechanisms are still active because they are not addressable at this point--rosacea is not fully understood.
Alright .. so I am ahead in my skincare journey and just came across this video. I have been doing exactly what you’re doing and use somewhat the same products and I have noticed a big difference in my skin. You all this video is actually very informative and this skincare regimen absolutely works !!!
This is a fantastic routine! In Poland we can get azelaic acid cream 15% OTC, but so far my fave is one from The inkey List. For nighttime I like their bio-active ceramide repairing and plumping moisturiser.
My night time routine:
1. Cleansing balm/oil - cerave/bioderma
2. Cleanser - La Roche Posay Toleriane
3. Real Barrier Cica relief toner
4. Copper peptide serum from The Ordinary
5. Azelaic acid from the Inkey List
6. Geek & Gorgeous retinal
7. The inkey list bio-active moisturizer (if I am extra dry in winter I will use cosrx snail mucin essence under the cream)
Day
1. Water splash
2. I have a priming toner from a local brand (basiclab) for sensitive/rosacea skin
3. Azelaic
4. Antioxidant serum with tetra vitamin C or Niod Survival 0
5. Aveeno calm + restore moisturizer or Cerave or the inkey list peptide moisturizer
6. SPF (Eucerin Sensitive mineral or Rovectin mineral)
Apis oferuje 30% kwasu 😊
I am coming to Poland next week for a few months! Where do you find the Aveeno Calm & Restore? I love it and I'm almost out.
I also have rosacea and have had trouble finding products that really help. I think you’re spot on about alcohol and essential oils. One product that I resisted for a long time but that has really helped to get rid of some nagging redness is the CosRX Snail Mucin. It works like magic! Plus a urea based toner and Sachi Pro Resilience Serum. Good luck on your skin care journey! I really enjoy your videos.
If you’re milia prone, snail mucin will cause milia to pop up.
Ivermectina 1%
Cosrx is great ❤
I use that too as well as The Ordinarys Suspension 10% Azelaic acid , the only thing that has gotten rid of my redness
Which urea based toner do you use?
I have sensitive skin and rosacea and the Azelaic Acid Booster by Paula's Choice is a total game changer for my skin. Redness? Gone by the morning. Acne scars? Visibly faded/calmed down after one time use. I could imagine that it might not be doing much for you because you use it in the third step of your routine *after* the barrier step. Hence, it might not be able to penetrate the skin enough. I would use it as a first step after cleansing and seal with a barrier cream or moisturizer if neccessary.
yeah, its very good and helped my acne. i paired it with the 1% bha toner and then moisturizer afterwards. i dont feel the need to have anything more than that. it does take time before u see a difference. it didnt cure my redness though, it reduced it a bit but it doesnt go away fully for me unfortunately. again everyones skin is different.
I use the paula's choice Azelaic booster too, but I find it makes my skin dry and I end up not using it :( do you get dry from it too, if so what do you do? And do you used it every day morning and night? I just try and do it at night for now to get used to it.
@@Wild.Flower yeah it makes my skin flaky since i pair it with the bha toner too. i only use it at night and i put a heavy moisturizer on and then im usually fine tbh. i dont get dryness in the morning, but i also have oily skin too so
Your complexion looks amazing. Thank you for sharing such great information.
I absolutely adore anything with mugwort in it. I also have rosacea-prone, acne-prone skin but it's a bit more dry and a bit less sensitive, or rather my skin gets really sensitive when it's dry. I also lean towards all-over, smaller impurities and pimples over clusters of breakouts. I have mugwort in my mask, in my cleanser and in my morning moisturizer. If I could afford it in my essences, it'd be a part of that too. It's so soothing, I want it in everything! I also love licorice root and ferments. They make my skin happy.
Ohhh ✨ I’ve heard good things about mugwort and have seen it in a lot of Korean skincare but have yet to dive in myself! Thanks for the inspo :)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare I can’t recommend the Peach Slices Azelaic Acid serum enough! I didn’t like the Paula’s Choice one either (for multiple reasons), but the Peach Slices one is a beautiful formulation. I also love that it has mugwort which kinda gives it a bit of a cooling effect on the skin (I assume that’s due to its anti-inflammatory properties).
I enjoyed watching this video, a step-by-step approach to your skincare routine. Thank you.
Wow your skin looks amazing! What an improvement 😍
My must-have skin tools are 1) an LED mask, 2) a Microcurrent device, and 3) a high-frequency wand. I ponied up a lot for a TriPollar RF, but I haven't used it consistently enough to recommend it. Love getting new skin recommendations. Trying the diaper cream tip first!
I've been battling with rosacea for most of my life (I'm 30) and what helped me the most skincare-wise is Soolantra cream and azelaic acid, but my skin is still faaar from ideal, also acne prone (niacinamide really helps with that), and I'm permanently pink on my face, so I love to try out new rosacea products :) thank you!
I feel ya I've also had rosacea most my life it's a battle for sure, my Rosacea is difficult bc I have the little capillary veins which I cannot find anything that helps with that part of the redness
I don't have rosacea but I used to have severa eczema and frequent flare-ups. For the redness, you can try using an essence to soothe it or maybe an overnight mask to rejuvenate your skin. I use the essence from Invity to help with my redness and its been doing a good job so far.
@@AnnaSwan-qv7of which essence exactly? :)
@@xXNekou it's called the youth activating essence from the brand, Invity
I like to use castor oil for my scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes. It helps. I have seen plastic surgeons talking about the oil that it acts like a botox. So now I am applying it to my whole face, neck and hands.
And yes for tretinoin/retinol and SPF. I am 45 soon, but I look youthful. And I am wearing hats in the summer always, since I am pale and freckled.
careful, castor oil may cause your facial hair to grow quicker
Does it work to grow brows and lashes?
@@clodragonthesecond9162 Yes, highly recommend it.
@@faye7199 Thank you! Well, I shave my face anyway.
@@clodragonthesecond9162 Oh yes, if you do it daily then you will see the first results after 6 weeks.
Wow, your before and after pictures are amazing!
please make more skincare video!!! love the way u explain things
You’re ahead of the curve! I just watched a dermatologist use a diaper rash cream on her face just like this and she explained the zinc oxide has healing properties so using it on damaged barriers is exactly what it was created for.
Ahhhhhh yes. This is SO validating because I googled it and only found articles with derms saying not to do this haha 🙏
but I just keep going back due to the positive results. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. I'm going to dip my toes into this one by using it to spot mask on blemishes to see if it speeds healing time. But lately I've noticed zinc oxide showing up in the ingredients list of more and more skincare products so I think there's something to it.
And you've been doing it for a year now
@@TheScienceofSelfCare
The Zinc oxide mask is genius! There's studies about intensive zinc oxide ointments for severe burns (sun and otherwise) and how healing it can be!
This video has helped me so much! Thank you very much for sharing, my rosaceo+acne skin loves you!
Yayy that makes me so happy!
Enjoy playing and experimenting ❤️🧴🫧
Thank you! I'm happy to get you the affiliate fees and really appreciate the direct links.
Thanks for sharing! I get severe rosacea and use a lot of the same products. My main issue is that with the inflammation, my skin barrier totally breaks down and the inflamed spots would peel multiple times a day. The Paula’s choice azelaic acid was the first thing I found that helped. I also started using Weleda skin food out of desperation (I use it on my body for KP), which I would have never done before because of the fragrance, but it was the only thing that proctected my face enough to let my skin barrier rebound. I’m now on the rx 15% azelaic acid from my dermatologist, and it works even better. Love cerave and beauty of Joseon, too!
Your skin type
First video I’ve watched and you e got me hooked. Just learned how rosacea can affect hands and can be caused by foods you eat etc. now I need to take a deep dive into how I can avoid that. Thanks!
I’ve used zinc oxide creams for over 25 years. They can be a bit thick so for oilier skins, you can also use calamine lotion. It will dry out a little so it’s the opposite of using it for an occlusive layer. But it’s amazing for skin with a lot of acne. Discovered it by accident when I was using it for chickenpox. It was the only thing I used as a teenager that has any real affect on my acne.
medicube and zinc oxide are miracles i keep going back to ❤💕
Thank you for this informative video 🫂🩷 patiently waiting for next part/s. Thank you 🫂🩷
I love your "skincare philosophy" experiment approach. I have been using the same methodology for about 6 months after visiting 10-12 derms who are like, "Meh, it's acne."
Spoiler: It was not acne.
In my case, I have some kind of rosacea-like (closest to type 2 and ocular yay) condition that developed after I contracted a virus. It took me years to calm my skin down enough to be able to wash it once a day with water.
It turns out I have some kind of inflammatory condition in my whole body which doesn't have an "actual disease label.". I had to experiment with diet and vitamins to calm it down.
On my face and scalp, I seem to have an autoimmune reaction to my own sebum if it builds up. I'm assuming the extra inflammation comes from the yeast/fungus that feeds off of it. So I started experimenting with rosacea-safe products that calm the skin as well as anti-fungal treatments and BHA exfoliating ingredients and I'm finally seeing improvements.
In situations like this, we have to continually keep experimenting. It's so hard to be patient lol. My next step is to figure out how to keep my skin moisturized, since any moisturizer at all (even the gels) encourages the yeast growth from the water content and causes inflammation in a matter of hours. I'd love to someday be able to wear makeup again and address anti-aging concerns with some actives.
Thank you for sharing your routine and philosophy. ❤. I'm sorry you also had to struggle, but when the "one size fits all approach" doesn't fit, we've got to take matters into our own hands!
how interesting! would love to know what are some of the major ingredients or brands you've found benefit from. i'm genuinely curious
Sorry, I'm not sure why there is a strikethrough in my comment. It's not supposed to be there!
I think I may have a similar skin issue also after a virus (covid). I am seeing so many doctors without any answers 😩
I’m so glad to hear of your process and where you’ve come, although it takes a lot of patience and trust in yourself when mainstream healthcare/drs don’t believe what you report. It sounds a lot like supporting your gut health and system from within has also replenished your skin slowly!
Admittedly, the a/b testing recommendation seems so simple, but it's brilliant. Thanks!
Thank you! It is indeed simple and also very effective :) enjoy!!
That was really insightful! Can you please make a routine video as well just to give more context to how and when to use the products? Thank you sooooooooo much ❤
Thank you! I’ve already rewatched this several times. Love the editing, the aesthetics of the channel and highly educational content. Im in my late 20s and have no skincare routine. Which step would you recommend experiment with first?
hey! the first 3 things you should do are: cleansing, using sunscreen protection in the morning and a moisturizer in the evening
Get a good cleanser, depending on your skin type. If you have dry skin, get a cream cleanser, i recommend double cleansing (oil cleanser before cream cleanser). Then get a rich moisturiser that is safe for sensitive skin. After, apply sunscreen with spf 50, even if you are not going out.
For me, I use more products for my routine but to start, I think these 3 would be good for you. I recommend getting the mineral sunscreen from Invity.
You can also try Rosen Clearing Concentrate. It’s a zinc oxide based overnight treatment. Works wonders for me.
Ohhhh!! Love this recommendation. Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️
Great video Robin❤️
I have very dry and dehydrated skin, rosacea ( after sun exposure or exercise) thus after retinol it is a struggle to keep them under control.
I learned from Kelly Driscoll about Niod Modulating Glycosides and Paula's choice Omega Serum. at last ❤️💯
It is life saving for me, I can manage the dryness and even be consistent with Retinol use, one day iI might increase to Tretinoin.
Keep up with the videos, I really learn so much from you. Thank you
Great routine! I am a new subscriber, and I absolute love your videos! looking forward to great results!
love the variable testing tip!! first I've heard that one; thank you!
My pleasure! Happy skincare experimenting 🥰🧴
this was such an amazing video! so informative but chill at the same time
I can attest to the healing benefits of the zinc oxide mask ! works great. I have the same skin type oily rosacea and acne prone. My holy grail product (which I know I’m going to get slack for but I stand by it) is Dr Barbara Sturm calming serum. If that’s too expensive wishtrend soothing ampoule is a good alternative. I also love sulfur !
Sulfur is used for rosacea? Where do you get this cream?
@@frostflower5555 i like to use sulfur as a wash off mask bc it’s anti inflammatory. You have to find the sweet spot of how many applications and how long . If you use it too long or too often it can make the situation worse. but i like De La Cruz sulfur acne treatment. If you have no budget the sturm calming mask and red light is amazing.
I have moderate Atopic Dermatitis + Type 1 skin on the verge of albino, and I live in the middle east which is pretty challenging to my super sensitivite skin. All that adds up and as a result I can't do as many steps 😑 It's a bummer. I love pampering myself with good skincare. It's such a fun way to show yourself love and unwind. So I started doing it for others. My mother and sisters in-law, friends and even my husband. Its really satisfying.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ It sounds quite challenging to deal with such sensitive skin. It seems like you’ve found a really beautiful alternative: that you’re able to pamper others through skincare! I can imagine that’s a wonderful way to bond with loved ones. I think I will try that as well! Thank you for the inspiration.
hi! i'm new to ur channel and i really enjoyed watching this vid, im a normal to oily/acne prone skin, tho idk if we "almost" have similar skin type and needs but u edit ur videos so nicely and informative
Some azelaic acid formulas itch! I don't personally like the PC version because it not only itches but also stinks! If you want to try another OTC brand, I highly recommend the one from Peach Slices. For more efficacy, I'd shoot for a prescription strength of at least 15%, which is the minimum used in studies that showed benefit, though plenty of people get results at 10%. BUT now you can find OTC products inching up to hit the 14% cap, which I'll be trying out next (don't really care for the texture of prescription formulas).
instead of the pure zinc cream as last step you should try : Avène Cicalfate+ Crème . Also has a zinc blend in it. And it did wonders to my skin regards to healing
Thanks for the clear and relaxed style video. Can't wait till the agency ships to the EU! Been eyeing them for years. Would make it so much easier to get all the actives at once and not too strong doses 😊 IPL has worked wonders for my skin cpmbined with a lot of the same kind of products you are using. Hardest part for me is to keep eating healthy. As soon as I eat junk my skin is so sad😂
Can you share your makeup routine and what products you use?
I just found your channel and I’m enjoying your videos!
Thank you for you knowledge and content!
Comprehensive and spot on!
One thing I will say is from what I’ve learned in “skintuation” is that toners are generally a scam and an unneeded process. It does nothing but irritate my skin personally, and having cut that step of my routine (and wearing sunscreen daily) has helped me immensely. A/B testing is a great way to get to know what works best. I might need to invest in a good sun hat though! Thank you for this video! ❤
A/B ?
@@GrapevineTexas111 She talked about it in the video. A/B testing per example is tester that new moisturizer on the half of your face, and keeping your old moisturizer the other half, to better compare.
Speak for yourself....for us toners are a must.
“Skin flooding” with toners is a skincare technique that is used in Korea. The eastern world has a different approach to skincare that is about moisture and hydration to restore the skin. Whereas in the west we take a treatment approach. Toners have blown up on social media because everyone wants that “glass skin” look. You can achieve it with toners!
@@cynthia-jo1zz it depends, everyone has differents needs. My sensitive reactive and rosacea skin reacts too easily on serums and toners, it's a nono for me and I too see it like marketimg for most of us.
I also love an essence, it is so soothing and moisturizing. Since you mentioned Gothamista, you must know she partnered with Saro de Rue to make her ideal, perfect, dream essence. I tried it as a treat and it is lush.
Ohhh yes! Great recommendation. When my current essence is gone, I’ll have to try hers! Thanks for sharing :)
This is one of the more well-put together skincare videos out there. Props to you! I'm inspired to try the zinc oxide baby ointment. I wonder if one uses zinc oxide sunscreen, if that would be too much or redundant. At any rate, It's sounds like a really good idea to use zinc on the skin!
I have rosacea and acne-prone skin. I really loved centella and then it started breaking me out after a month. Thank you for mentioning an anti-inflammatory diet
I have acne-type rosacea and azelaic acid helps the acne symptoms, but not the redness. If acne isn't an issue, I can see why someone wouldn't see a difference with the azelaic acid. Thanks for this video, and I'm going to rewatch it when I can take notes!
Instead you get clindamycin & nicotinamide treatment...not azelaic acid.. it can be found over the counter I guess.
Thanks for sharing! It’s funny how azelaic acid is really touted as the rosacea cure, but I totally agree: helps more with acne/ texture than redness. Glad I’m not alone!
I started using the zinc based creams like Avene and La Roche Posay and I have nice clear skin in the morning!
Thanks for sharing-Yayyy for zinc!! My skin loves it too! Which products do you specifically use??
With age I also developed a light till sometimes more intense for of rosacea. I found myself now having a very similar routine of yours. I am interested to try the tones you have but i am really stuck on loving my pyunkang yul one which is a little bit thicker almost essence like. I personally have had very good experience with azelaic acid especially when i have a more intense phase it really is a live saver to get it under control fast. I am not sure if you ever have tried the skin1004 centella spf since I am loving this too along with the round lab one. Thank you for this video and all your videos. I love coming back to your channel
Holy moly, finally someone w the same skin as me LMFAO. Centella is heaven sent! Also mucin and birchsap gel cream! Highly recommend. Aha bha toner spray also amazing! (Yeah cosrx really suits my almost yours skin type)
Loved this. Thank you x
Thank you Robin ❤..it was very informative and helpful.😊
My pleasure! Thanks for joining :)
Wonderful! WONDERFUL video! Thank you for sharing your routine and journey with us.
My pleasure! Happy to talk about skincare 24/7 😅Thanks for joining ❤️
i had mild rosacea very similar to yours and i also found azelaic acid did not help, though it did help with fading post-inflammatory marks. however, i now use the 2% niacinamide + propolis serum from boj and honestly the results are amazing and were visible from the first week. i highly recommend it over any other niacinamide serums, because a lot of them have 10% concentration which for me was very irritating and even made my redness worse
I saw another comment talking about SPF and you mentioned potentially doing an entire video on it- just wanted to say that I'd absolutely love this! ☀️
Omg! I subscribed instantly! First: your personality is beautiful, i would listen to you all day long! Second: i use or have used most of the products you talk about and i love them. I have sensitive skin too. On that note, i gotta leave one more brand here, cause you and other people here might benefit. The brand is Cos de Baha and the one absolutely amazing product i always use is the Cos de Baha Toner with Peptide si Argireline, 200 ml. It is in a dark brown large bottle, it is inexpensive, it has the texture of a serum and it does wonders for sensitive skin. I am leaving it here cause i also use the skin 1004 and Beauty of Joseon products and i have realised that after using them, finding something just as good or better becomes a hard task...well, Cos de Baha was one that "wooowed" me not only with quality, but also with pricing. I honestly hope it helps other people too! Sending much love to all of you!
One more product: I saw that you use zinc baby cream as a mask, i used to do that too and then A-derma products showed up. I donno if they are available where you live, this is a french brand, i can find it in almost any farmacy in Europe. The cream is A-derma Dermalibour+ repairing cica with copper and zinc. It is also thought for baby care, so it contains no perfume, it is very thick so i often use it as a mask. This is something i forgot to say in my previous comment, i use no perfume in my skincare cause it makes my skin itchy and i think it also influences my hormones. I only put perfume on clothing sometimes, not very often though. What i find interesting is that my skin doesn't react to essential oils so i am lucky that way, i can use essential oils instead of perfumes. Ok, enough ranting, thank you for your informative video, sending much love your way!❤
Wil it suit oily skin type
@@Vetriyas Yes, for Cos de Baha toner. It is super safe even around the eyes, it is very soothing, just don't use it on open wounds. When I have open wounds I use an antibacterial product there, one that dries, but doesn't further irritate and I drink a lot of water( I use pimple products only locally and I prefer using baby oil with zinc and copper for drying pimples, instead of harsh products specifically for acne). I have sensitive normal to mixed skin. The cream is also great, however, I don't use it regularly, I use it when I feel the skin irritated. What do I mean by that? Even oily or mixed skin sometimes lacks humidity and gets itchy. When I feel like my skin gets like that I use a toner, then an active(like niacinamide, or copper peptide, or vitamin C - i think you can try smth specifically for acne as well, just make sure it is not too harsh - I sometimes use tretinoin, but I make sure I have no open wounds on the face ) and then I wait for 15 minutes and add a layer of the A-derma cream. This seals the other ingredients in, making the actives more efficient and preventing the water loss. The reason it usually works for anybody is that this cream helps your skin heal itself while keeping the surface of the skin clean and providing it with nourishing ingredients like copper and zinc. If I were you, I would first try it once in a 1-2 hours mask while watching a movie or smth instead of leaving it overnight. On oily skin I would use it only after cleaning the skin well, and that means a natural home made mask that works for you, or a low ph cleanser that cleans the pores well, or both. I should add that i always look for products with low ph, especially when my skin goes more on the oily side, because acne bacteria cannot survive in low ph. When my skin is so cray cray that it stopes responding to most things, I go back to basics. I make my own toner using up to a tablespoon of vinegar in 300ml of distilled water and only use that + low ph cleanser for a few days.(sidenote: if you don't have a water distiller, use filtered water or get some rose water or any plant water that your skin likes, those are made by distillation as well). Vinegar lowers the ph. You can also use it in masks. Keep learning and keep trying things, your skin will "tell" you what it likes and what not. And most importantly, "love your skin into health", make sure it knows you are it's friend by avoiding harsh stuff like rubbing alcohol. As a sidenote, also look into retinoids(tretinoin and retinaldehide are my fav), MSM(helps rebuilding tissue in atrophic scars, it really helps people with acne scars, even though you do not hear much about it; internal and external use) , dry oils(like avocado and rosehip oil). essential oils(lavender is a gift from nature, look up the studies) and ingredients that you usually find in scar creams, like silicone, onion extract, etc. Sending much love your way!❤
40 yr old here with excellent skin.
My routine overall is very simple and time efficient.
The two things that have been a major game changer for me were ..
1. NOT CLEANSING MY FACE IN THE MORNING and
2. WEARING A MINERAL SUNBLOCK TO BED.
I double cleanse at night and apply my skincare.
In the morning I wash my face with water only. Then I apply my sunblock and I’m done. I don’t use a moisturizer in the morning either. Since I’m not washing off my skincare and natural oils that develop overnight, I don’t need a moisturizer.
To cleanse at night, I first start with slathering on coconut oil all over and I rub that in for about few min. I wipe that off (it helps remove the sunblock or make up), then I follow with cleanser. Pat dry, then I apply my skincare.
Less is more when it comes to healthy skin. Keep it simple and always wear a sunblock. ❤
Electrolytes help stimulates the water retention in the skin barrier for a short time so I wound't be surprised if the zinc mask does this effect. I would use a lot of antioxidants like vitamin E & C to help protect the skin PH level balance too.
I have the beauty of joseon balm - retinal and sunscreen too love them ! For me the azelaic serum from typology help my rosea near my cheek/nose with daily use, it calm my rosacea tbh - and for my skin barrier and stuff i have the numbuzin softening serum :3!
Thanks for sharing!! I have been eyeing numbuzin products! Good to know the softening serum is rosacea friendly 🙏❤️
You are really pretty ❤
Can you please share everything you do to keep your rosacea under control at soothe it? You know diet, exercise, supplements, other lifestyle things
Omg love your routine - we have very similar skincare needs and preferences! Can’t wait to try some of these products
So glad this resonated! Thanks for tuning in ❤️🥰 enjoy your skincare experimentation 🧴🫧
Ok that a/b thing I were talking about?! Whyyyy have I never thought of this. Very smart…. Imana have to steal this idea asap. Definetly got
Some experimenting to do! ❤️
Thank you so much for this breakdown and mind setter! I especially loved the A/B testing approach, how did I not think of it before? :D I have a question about AHA/BHA though - is it something that you don't use at all, is there any specific reason to it? And if you do use it, at what step do you fit it in your routine? I have very similar skin premise as yours (combination, acne and rosacea prone sensitive skin) so I wonder if AHA/BHA is smth I need to avoid or not
I have the same philosophy when it comes to trying new products. It drives me crazy when people recommend something because it is so effective blah blah but clearly it has been used just a few times and with many thing at the same time. One a time and then I will believe that it is effective or not.
Really systematic! Thank you
Thanks for tuning in 🥰
D'Alba first spray serum so far works great on my skin. I had some hormonal acne and breakouts due to damaged skin barrier, within a few days of using this I could see improved skin condition ❤
Thanks for sharing and so glad it’s working for you! I’ve been wanting to try this one because people seem to really love it. Unfortunately it contains fragrance quite high on the list, so I’m afraid it will slowly irritate my skin overtime. We shall see! xo Robin
Brilliant idea with the A/B testing, I've never heard that before :D
Great video! I just learned about using a zinc mask in Dr. Shereene Idriss's video on face basting.
I would love a video on how you healed your gut. I suspect that my rosacea is related to a leaky gut as well.
lol I saw centella toner at 0:50 and I’m in. My skin is sensitive and a lot of western brands seem to irritate it but my skin loves k-brands!
Yes!! Thanks for sharing!
My skin likes K brands a lot more as well! Sometimes it just feel like they are years ahead over in Korea haha ❤️
Diaper rash cream is how I cleared up my severe rosacea. I refused to take antibiotics because I don't lie the side effects, so I came across someone who suggested the diaper rash cream. It took4-6 weeks of wearing it every night and it went away. I still have minor flare ups when I get in the sun, but otherwise my skin has stayed clear.
what diaper cream did u use?
Hi what diaper rash cream brand you use thanks
Which one did you use?
Hey please reply
I have just figured out that I have rosacea and I'm still learning how to deal with it. I tried an azaleic acid, it makes my skin itch/burn a little bit, but in the morning it's perfect. But I never put anything to protect my skin before the acid... anyway, I'm still trying to understand my skin. Loved your video and your tips, I'm gonna try some of these. Greatings from Brazil!!
if anyone has redness on face/body please make sure to get checked by a doctor to make sure you are not autoimmune,
for years i didnt need a skincare routine or anything but suddenly i ended up with rosacea at the age of 20 (but i also had other symptoms like a burning sensation in my knees and joints) , i then got diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at 23
Korean skin care is really now part of everyones routine coz they are gentle and easy to use in your everyday routine.
Do they have products to build a routine for sensitive acne prone oily skin
I started using a low dosage tretionoin 2 months ago to see if it would do something to my rosacea (I have the same type as you) and man-o-man, it already has made my skin so much better. I used to have this burning sensation on my skin, and it's entirely gone.
For roscasea, u say...?
Didnt know at all tretoinin could do that.
Glad for you❤
Please share your skincare routine 🙏
I have Blepharitis and skin issues linked to rosacea, and I find using the sauna to be the single most beneficial thing for my skin, second to that exercising enough to sweat a lot, and avoiding coffee, sugar and dairy milk. I use something called Dermol 500 when I get out of the shower or after I shave, useful especially in the corners of my eyes because it's safe enough to use on my eyelids. Also honey seems to help, not eating it but putting it on my skin for 5 minutes before getting a shower.
YES!! I’m glad you brought this up. I forgot to mention this, but saunas help my skin SO much. Many skin specialists have told me to stay away from saunas because “it would exacerbate my rosacea”.. but for me, this is not the case. Just goes to show that we are all different and it’s up to us to find what works best for our bodies.
I’ll check out the Dermol 500. Thanks for sharing!
@@TheScienceofSelfCare same, always been beneficial.
What your eye routine? I also suffer from blepharitis/conjuntivitis because of ocular rosacea. Thanks
I personally really like the Dead Sea Acne Soap, the effect is simply delightful. And with a discount at Dead sea shop, it's just fabulous.
This soap is really good
Attention readers! Allt "Dead sea"-products are usually Israeli, so please boycott if you have the least humanity within you.
Hi I’d really recommend Numbuzin no 3 serum it contains 2 strains of probiotic that smooth texture, reduces redness and reverses age related damage
Honestly, what helped me the most with my type2 rosacea was quitting most of my skincare, no moisturizer, no serums, no niacinamide, no hyaluronic acid. A gentle cleanser (cosrax low ph), 20% azalaic acid and a light spf.
