- In this video, I share with you a few meal examples of what I ate to help heal my acne! I also talk about the emotional issues that may have been causing excess stress and anxiety, which in turn have been aggravating my acne. I also picked up a new healthy habit which I've integrated into my daily routine. I talk about the new skincare products I've been using which I later realized have caused a "purging effect", The Ordinary Products made me break out!

Here's Episode 2 of my "acne healing" journey, hope you enjoy! Have you noticed I've been posting every Friday, every week? I'm so happy I've been able to stick with this regular schedule. I am grateful for your support my dear friends. Hope you're doing well!
Really enjoyed this video and your taste in music is exquisite
That's so nice! Thank you Emi. :)
Hey Maya and Gabe! I just wanted to say that I love your music selections in your videos. I love hearing music from other cultures, no matter the language! The video are always well presented and I say thank you for all of the hard work that you do for us! Sending you Love from South Carolina! Wishing peace and joy for you both, wherever you may roam!
Dear sweet Robert of South Carolina! Your message has warmed my heart. Iâm so so glad you appreciate what we do. To know that is a reward for the work that was put into it! Please take care of yourself and keep the kind comments coming hahaha they just put a big smile on my face!đâșïžđŠ
Thank you !! i started 3 days ago and i am going through a purging stage :( it sucks but i hope if i stick through ill get the results im looking for
Hello Silas :) I am praying for you!! I hope it works for you. If you get a very bad reaction, then it's just not for you :/
do you use it everyday?
@@maikoll6191 Every morning after using Hyaluronic Acid and "Buffet" by the Ordinary:) And then I apply SPF too :)
Update?
Update?
I just love the music you included in your videos! I have been loving the ordinary.. it's not easy to find cruelty free and fragrance free skin care
Yay Iâm so happy you like the music!! Itâs so important to me to convey a certain feeling and energy through these videos even if theyâre simple :) youâre right itâs so hard, especially at that price and with pretty pure ingredients. Theyâre not THE most natural products Iâve used, but theyâre certainly extremely effective and my wallet is also thankful haha! Iâm so glad I found The ordinary even though I got a rough start!
The Ordinary made me breakout too! I was trying to find a brand that was more affordable than the one I usually used. I gave it a chance for a few weeks but it just wouldn't get better, just worse... The only one I still use is the Squalane. Maybe I should give it a chance again though ( because I also tried it while I was in a "blue" period... which makes me breakout too.) Bonne chance Maya â€ïž
Bonjour Eve!! Merci pour ton commentaire :) Yeah I was really spending a lot of money on more "luxurious" organic brands, like 25-75$ per product, and as soon as I saw the prices of the Ordinary (5-15$ per product), I was so intrigued because the reviews are so positive! I think you could definitely try it again but make sure your digestion, hormones and emotional health are taken care of the best you can :) So much love xoxox
Hey there! I find that the squalene solution is the ordinarys worst product. I would try a different cleanser, but use the ordinary niacinamide and zinc solution :)
Thanks for sharing! I was doing the same thing with the peppermint oil and I also stopped using the ordinary because I started breaking out like crazy. I didnât know it was a normal thing.
haha yeah I still can't believe I used to do that with essential oils!! So bad for us :P Well if you broke out like crazy, maybe stay away from it but if you're down for another try, perhaps try again and be even more patient with it! :) What are you using now that you stopped the Ordinary?:)
I got a few products from the ordinary and my skin feels so good. Hasn't been so good in a while but I am experiencing break outs. I really want to pop those out... Trying not to touch them đ I use the niacinamid on the morning and alternate the Granactive serum and the salycilic acide on evenings. And I use a cerave cleanser with salycilic acide. Fingers crossed it works.
Ooooh you're lucky it worked so well for you!!! I've actually found Paula's Choice works so well for me. I don't think I'll try anything else, it's wonderful for my skin! Thanks for sharing:)
@@holisticmaya I might try Paula's choice when I can afford it because everyone says it's a great product. Also it's quite funny that I should see this message today. I just two pimples pop out. You know, those that are painful đą I hope tea tree oil will do its job
Ahh I am so happy to hear this update. You look gorgeous btw dude - like a Disney princess! I am definitely having a purge then. Iâve been using a Korean face wash, then rose water, buffet serum and caffeine serum + HA moisturising factors in the morning. Then in the evening Iâve got same face wash and toner, then granactive retinoid and then caffeine + HA factors again. Iâve struggled with the glycolic acid but I dig the idea of using it a few times a week only, I might avoid the forehead too and just put it on my cheeks where my scars are!! My skin itself has been looking really smooth and it has been a reeeeeallly even tone and well moisturised. But Iâm DEFINITELY broken out on my cheeks, but it really feels like what they described the purge to be.
Anyway Iâm rambling so much now GOD!! đ oh I also used the AHA + BHA acid peel, the red one and it felt wonderful.... itâs really fun.. you should try it! đ ok Iâm shutting up and going to bed now I shouldnât be this hyper so late đ love you Maya!!
Omg MAYA!!! I am so mad because I didnât get a notification for this comment :( I was just checking some of my previous videos because this happens sometimes. Iâm so sorry for that! Seriously I love you though đ youâre SO KIND for saying I look like a Disney Princess hehe you made me blush đžđ»dude I love your routine!! I really wanted to try their red acid peel but itâs still out of stock everywhere :/ Iâm excited to try it someday :)) and donât worry i absolutely love your comments, whether long or short hehehe :)) keep ÂŽem coming, I donât think you know how much they make me smile. Youâre like my cyber-bff đ€Ł love you darling!!
holisticmaya oh I canât believe Iâve taken so long to reply dude sorry!!! Iâve been meaning to! Iâve had to cut my routine right back because one of the products got in my eyes (I suspect a mix of niacinamide and retinol). That was just under two weeks ago and my eyes are still puffy (although itâs definitely healing) and they were soooooo dry. So Iâve been barely using anything at all. So my acne is back đ it makes me appreciate that when I was doing a consistent twice a day routine it really did curb my breakouts.
Love you dude ahh I come to this channel for the best vibes ever đâ€ïžâ€ïž
FrootKat wow thatâs crazy and so unfortunate!! I truly hope you heal quickly :) hehe yay!! It makes me so joyful to know you love what I create on here đ thank you Maya!!
I just ordered the ordinary Niacinamide serum and I have acne right now I don't know if I can handle it getting worse :(( and I love Outlander !!! They need a new season!!
Dear Bani! :) Don't worry, test it out and see! But you must be patient as it could take about 1 month before your skin stops purging. Also remember acne is a deep-rooted symptom of something going on inside your body, so definitely address that :) It could be link to your digestions, your hormones, etc... Outlander is so good!! I just ordered the 4 first books so I can start reading the series :)
helloOOoooOO hihihih
HelloOoo!! Hahaha ma chérie! Merci pour ton message, ça me touche beaucoup :D :D En effet, ça m'a forcée à prendre meilleur soin de moi. Soudainement, je fais plus attention à ce que je mange et je bouge mon corps davantage :)
Hey! This is the first video that I watched of yours and I must say that you are great and I enjoyed watching it a lot. I got The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% +1% Zinc. I started with one drop on my forehead for 4 days and there was no reaction. I later started applying one drop each on my cheek and forehead each night for the next 4 days. I now have 5-6 new postules on my cheeks a few of which were visibly trapped under my skin. However all of these are at the places where I usually get acne. I watched a few videos online of dermatologists which said that Niacinamide should not cause purging as they don't cause cell turnover and I'm now worried as my acne results PIH once they have faded away. Please help me decide on whether or not should I continue using it. I do moisturize and use SPF during the day. It's been 7 days now since started using it. Hope to hear from and you.
I used this for under a week and I got so many small bumps over my forehead, I stopped using it and it all went away within a week. I donât use it anymore
Hi Divya! So nice to read your comment. Thank you for your sweet words :) I can't really give you advice, BUT my intuition tells me you should just stop using it. Honestly, I think the Ordinary is just not worth it. I don't like all these new products coming out with "actives". I prefer using Living Libations, 100 Percent Pure, products that have natural extracts of fruits, vegetables, plants, herbs, flowers, etc... My skin personally loves it way more!
mayaaaaaaaaa!
Darling Hiba, you're the sweetest!!!! Man I love Rosewater, I haven't had any for several months but as soon as I finish my camomille water, I will purchase rosewater again because I miss it haha. That l-ascorbic acid powder looks scary to me I don't know why lol!! But you like it? Maybe I'll give it a chance. Thanks for telling me about the Buffet hair thing I'll be on the lookout for extra facial hair growing XD And I too really want to try the retinol in squalane!! I'm waiting for it to be back in stock :P I'll be adding rosehip seed oil to my regimen really soon too, :D LOVE YOU and thanks for your kind words about my videos!! ^-^
Hey, I started using the Niacinamide product and my skin started breaking out but I'm not sure if that's purging or my skin not reacting to the product. When you purged did the pimples leave acne scars or pigmentation behind, and how did ur breakouts look like? Thanks!
Hey I'm experiencing the same thing. How is your skin now?
Divya Didiwania Heyy, I started using it once a week only on my t-zone since I was breaking out a lot on my checks. But now I have stopped using it and am just trying to heal my face by using a cleanser and lotion.Maybe once my skin is healed I will try it again, plus I have acne and dry skin which isnât a good combo lol! Hope this help! Iâm kinda on a journey to figure out my own skin care too!
@@maleehaismaili3064 So I started using The Ordinary Niacinamide 10 days ago. I did not purge on my forehead but I did get a few acne on my cheeks but it could also be because of my mensural cycle. However, my skin has gotten used to it now and is working pretty great for me. I would suggest you to start with one drop each night and then taking it up. I'm sure it'll work great work for you too.
@@maleehaismaili3064 I'm having the same problem now I'm just cleaning my skin and using lotion because, my skin has never broken out like it has now. So I think I'm gonna stop using it.
Hello Maleeha! So nice to see your comment. Yes they left acne scars and pigmentation... I am still dealing with that to this day even though I stopped using the Ordinary products several months ago... Honestly my biggest regret is using these products :( My skin was way better before!
I need help if my skin is purging or not. So I started using the ordinary skin care product along with niacinamide Nd lactic acid. My skin was looking AMAZING I was using it for about almost a month but then I couldnât find my squalane cleanser for 2 weeks so I ended up using my old facial cleanser which is Tea Tree Oil by the Body Shop and I realized how horrible it felt on my skin and my acne started coming back and then after 2 weeks I found my cleanser , itâs been about almost a week starting tomorrow and my skin is going CRAZY Iâm getting so many red bumps and pimples on my jawline filled with pus. Iâm putting spit treatments like I usually do and the pus comes back and my chin has small red bumps too and so does my forehead . Can someone explain whatâs happening ? Idk if itâs purging but if itâs purging why didnât it purge when I started the using it the first time
By the way the rest of my skin care didnât change at all. I cleanse , tone , use serums and moisturize and use spot treatments . Only difference from those two weeks is that I was using a different face wash
It sounds like it was the cleanser change dear, like you said, you didnt experience when you first started. Good luck â€
Hello darling! I am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Honestly, reading your comment, I can't really give you advice, but it seems like you were either purging and it made it worse by changing cleansers, or maybe it was hitting the "high point" of purging even when you went back to your ordinary cleanser. How is your skin now? Is it better? Honestly, I think the Ordinary is just not worth it. I don't like all these new products coming out with "actives". I prefer using Living Libations, 100 Percent Pure, products that have natural extracts of fruits, vegetables, plants, herbs, flowers, etc... My skin personally loves it way more!
Ordinary niacinamide made my cystic acne worse .
Yeah itâs weird. I donât understand how it has helped so many peopleâs skin!
What type of skin do you have? Iâm dry skin and it Iâm scared because I used niacinamide one day and now my face is red and I have acne
Hello! My skin is pretty "normal/combination". It's not too oily or too dry. It's kind of sensitive but it has never been the typical sensitive skin type. For the niacinamide, don't use more than 2-3 drops on your entire face! Using more than that is just too much and not necessary at all :) Give yourself some time. It took me about 1 month before the acne started going away... But if your skin is red in reaction, maybe it's really too much for your skin, and perhaps you shouldn't use it!
@@holisticmaya I have been using ordinary niacinamide for five days and it breaks me out a lot around my cheeks where I got my acne but it is itchy sometimes. Is it purging or Breakout?
Hello Namuna :) Honestly I don't know... I followed my intuition and stopped using them when I saw my skin was getting worse and worse. It's been several months and still am dealing with the pigmentation and scars from the acne it gave me on my cheeks. :( I don't think the Ordinary is worth it. I prefer my more natural products with extracts from plants, fruits, herbs, etc... (100 percent pure and Living libations are my favourites)
Is it normal that i used the niacinamide then purging ???i still confuse right nowww :(
Hello Josephine! Yes it's normal because it's accelerating your cell turnover, which means that any breakouts that were going to come out from deep in your skin, are all coming out at the same time! It might take a few weeks even a month before it stops, and of course you must make sure that other factors like stress and food are taken care of :) because you can apply the niacinamide for several months but it will not be a "miracle product" if there are still hormonal and digestive acne breakouts... If you really feel like it's not helping, I think you should stop using it! So much love to you and thank you for your comment! xoxox
Câest fou :o
Haha quoi ça?? đ€đ
