Hello everyone. 😀 As you will hear in this video, I've always personally struggled with oily skin which in my teens came hand in hand with acne and then of course hyperpigmentation! This video is to educate about why some of us have oilier skin than others, what you can do to control the oil and which ingredients to look out for so you can make an informed decision when choosing your skincare products. If you are watching because you also struggle with this, say hiiii 😁 and let me know what works for you. If you are watching just for general education, curiosity, research etc, I would also love to hear your thoughts, comments or questions. Thank you ❤️ I've tried to incorporate products that are easily available in drugstores or online. *Timestamps:* 00:00 Intro 1:19 How your skin produces oil? What's Oily skin? 2:12 Why Is Sebum (Oil) Important? 2:43 Why is your skin Oily? 4:28 Causes of Oily Skin 6:33 Top ingredients 10:19 am routine 13:57 pm routine 18:54 See your doctor if... .
I've heard this too, 1st time someone told me MAC makeup artist she said "be blessed with it, don't stress it," and she proceeded to give me the best tip...moisturize!
im a guy and tried this routine with similar products and it worked so well. Being able to last a whole day without patting my face for oil is new to me lmao
I appreciate you mentioning PCOS at the end of the video!! Fun fact, it was my dermatologist who was helping me with my acne when i was in high school who brought up PCOS to me and is the reason I got a proper diagnosis!
I just discovered this channel, I LOVE it! She's no nonsense and knows what she's doing, Her skin is gorgeous too, which doesn't hurt when teaching us about skin health!
Dr Simi, I want to thank you for this video. I've never understood much about my oily skin so I was doing everything wrong. I've been following the am and pm routine you mentioned for about a month and my skin has never looked better 😩 I'm using different products though but this seriously works really well for me. My acne was really bad and my skin was horribly oily but once I started moisturising in the am and pm and using a gentler cleanser m, my skin has become much much less oily. Thank you for the video!! You truly are an angel ahhh 💕💗
Hi Sharon. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m so pleased that your skin has improved and I’m also pleased that you found my video helpful! 😊
If anyone is thinking of trying this skin care routine, I'm here to tell you to DO IT!!! I have been using the exact products that are mentioned, except using the ordinary niacidamide serum, and my skin is transforming! My oil is at bay, my pores look smaller, my texture and pigmentation is disappearing every day. I have had acne and large pores and oily skin since I was a young child and have spent thousands of dollars trying to find a skin care routine that works... from drug store to super high end products.. and nothing has worked as well as this! The face theory moisturizer is amazing, it does pill up a bit if you use too much, but it blurs my pores when I put it on and keeps my skin looking natural and satin like through the day!! While providing great hydration, of course. I thought the clarifying cleanser would clog my pores since it is more of a creamy formula, but if you let it sit on your skin for a minute after applying it has a chance to penetrate into your skin and leaves it looking so nice and not dry or stripped after. The retinol serum by cera ve is also a game changer, I've tried a few retinols that just irritate my skin or break me out, but this one is the perfect strength and I am able to use it every night without any irritation. Everyone's skin is different but I can't say enough good things about this routine, and if you're looking to manage your oily skin I highly recommend this!!! Thank you Dr Simi!!! 😊
The most oily part of my face is my nose and I always seem to break out after drinking or having too sweet like sweet tea. I’m going to try updating my routine with these tips
Thank you Doc. This was really helpful. I'm 38 in 2 months and have super oily skin but I look 20yrs. Its a gift and a curse (especially professionally)
Thanks for being honest with us, I have enjoyed and received much useful information from several of your videos. I am 50 and have always and still have oily skin. It has at times caused me to just feel gross about my skin.
@joyceb8174 Hi love, I have oily skin and I am 24, I cant imagine how frustrating it can be at your age. I have been consistently using niacinamide and I have seen great results. I have also been using tips from a FREE ebook that is linked here on my youtube profile. It talks about aging skin as well as oily skin, I hope you can check it out and I hope it helps🥰
I have oily skin and I'm sick of it. Especially during the summer. T zone and my cheeks are the worse. I'm just glad that I don't have acne and breakouts
I've been suffering from PIH, acne and oily skin for so long and I've been so desperate to find a medical professional with similar skin to mine talk about skin issues and I'm so happy I finally found you! This video was extremely educative and I'm definitely trying the things you mentioned.
Steam your face to open up your pores, I always do it when I put on my face the Aztec Indian healing clay mask mixed with apple cider vinegar or water.let it dry then rinse, after that, I put a sheet mask in the freezer to cool and put it on my face to tighten up my pores I do it at least once a week, my pores are really small
I'm so happy to see this I have a serious problem with oily skin my nose is always shining with the oil coming from my skin I sometimes feel embarrassed in public The same goes for my acne I have almost tried everything possible for them to go away I even have acnes on my back and chest as well I don't even feel comfortable to wear any cloths that expose my body Plz help
Thank you this was very helpful. Will be buying those products to try😊 my face gets so oily it’s very embarrassing and doesn’t feel nice on the skin either.
Peppermint/spearmint tea have really helped me! And at my worst, the medication Spirolactone that was prescribed by my dermatologist. Both of which lower androgen levels. I hope this helps someone!
I’m new to the channel.. Hi 👋 I’m sure I’ll enjoy watching your videos while I do my skincare. I have oily skin AM routine: Cerave- Renewing SA cleanser, Rovectin- lotus water cream, then I finish with Black girl sunscreen kids SPF 50 PM routine: Cerave- foaming facial cleanser, Good light- Moon glow toning milk, Good molecules- hyaluronic acid, La Roche- Posay- Double repair face moisturizer, and Aklief (prescription retinol)
I have none of the 'characteristics of oily skin' besides excessive oil. My skin is clear, smooth and no hyperpigmentation. I just want to be able to wear makeup without an oil slick. Lol
Try a primer and/or setting spray. And if you opt for either Sephora & Ulta has a good selection of mini/smaller products in regard to trial & error versus purchasing larger size products to try. Good luck
have oily skin since I know myself,but around high school it got really worse,oily face with huge pores,greedy shine on forehead,not to mention trouble with my scalp,lack of hair growth. Ive been using vital pro products for three years for face and scalp-helped me a lot,but had to stop coz they were expensive plus my skin got immune to it,now I'm on Eveline ultra purifying wash gel and Eveline facial wash gel that can be used as scrub and mask. they are doing wonders for me
Dr Simi It has been a while. Thank you for a new video. I really get into you teaching things that a lot of think we know but don't really know. Please try and keep posting. Hope your staying safe. P.S. If you can may you please do a video about different birth controls, the side effects and what people may expect
I cannot wait to get these products to start to get to work on my face! I just ordered them all. I've been looking for a black dermatologist! Thanks for sharing.
@ alieuxcasey1860 Hi love, please keep us updated on your skincare journey. I also I have purchased some products and I can see a huge difference after using them consistently. I have also been using tips from a FREE ebook that is linked here on my youtube profile which are simple and so effective. If you need any advice please check it out. I hope this helps🥰
I have battled with acne since puberty. I am currently try the following routine. I have been on for 2.5 weeks now. AM Cleanse w/sa wash Cleanse w/BP wash Toner w/Niacinamide 2.5% BP leave on Moisturizer Sun screen PM Cleanse as AM Toner w/niacinamide 2% SA leave on Moisturizer
I have oily skin, and my skin really reacts well to benzoyl peroxyde and salicilyc acid. They helped me getting rid of acne. Even if this takes so much time but it torally worth it. Hydration also helped my skin alot into regulating sebum production.
@@dailydogsoftheinternet1321 yes, but I use them separatly because they shouldn't be mixed. I use benzoyl peroxyde every other night ( 3 times a week ) , and I use salicylic acid every morning ( and every night that where I don't use venzoyl peroxyde) + ( I have a toner that contains salycilic acid ) .
Wow, I have been struggling with oily skin and PIH for years and years, and I never knew benzoyl peroxide can make you more prone to PIH that's what my past dermatologist prescribed to me... Thank you so much for all the helpful info
Hello Dr. I don't know if this is a women only channel. I typed oily skin and ended up here. I would be grateful if you could help me also. I am a 39 yrs old man, having Indian origins( i dnt know if it's important to mention), living in a tropical island and i have oily skin and still get acnes at this age. Your advice will really help me out. Thank you.
I think your video/channel info is so helpful and I appreciate your intellect ~ I have pale & menopausal skin but even still !!!!! This is validating ❤
Amazing video. It’s great to understand the science behind oily skin and the right ingredients to look for in the products. Great to see a routine for AM and PM, really useful information. Thank you 🥰👍🏻
I loved this video! So informative and very detailed. My skin has gotten more oily than usually and I’ve been experiencing breakouts recently. I followed along taking notes in my notes app on my phone. I will be trying this skincare routine soon, I will provide an update when I start. Thank you for teaching💜
At 45 my skin has literally turned into an oil slick. I’ve always had combo skin but now it’s oily all over 🤔 hormones probably but I can not find a moisturiser that suits me. I’ve wasted more money 😵. Thanks for the recommendations 👏🏼
Where have u been all my life! I am in my 50's and am looking for skin care products that won't cause makeup to run! I'm tired of spending so much 💰 money on skin care that's not geared to people who have oily skin. I'm gonna keep watching your videos! Please keep bringing them on! 🙏 Make your own line of skin care!
Dr. Simi I can't thank you enough for this video. It's only been a week and I have already noticed a huge difference. My face is no longer oily 🙌🏽 I look forward to more content from your channel 🙂
Hi doctor, thank you very much for your advices, I would like to know products I can use against stretch marks. Thank you for what you are doing, I'm learning so much through your videos. Looking forward for your response. 😘😘😘
Dr Simi please make a video like this for dry skin. I also suffer from atopic dermatitis, and have no idea of what washing routine I should follow. Your vids are always amazing and easy to understand ❤
Changed up my skin care routine about 10days ago and I seem to be breaking out. Everyone is telling me to stick with it because it's my skins getting used to it. Do you agree? X
I enjoyed this video! Thank you for the education. I would love to see a video on make up products(foundation, etc.) best for oily skin on dark tones that will not clog the pore. Your make up always looks flawless.
Thank you 🙏🏾 great advice. I am incorporating many of these steps for my oily skin routine and it’s working. But I definitely would like to incorporate the la roche posay 50+ spf and the a few of the face therapy products. Great job explaining each products purpose and your akin care routine. This is very helpful. Any suggestions on products best for getting rid of hyperpigmentation from acne scars?
So I've been going on using things I think my skin doesn't want, so now I'll try this recommended skin care routine. Some things have worked before but not for a long period of time
Thank you for this educational video. I really like that you incorporate all kinds of skin tones and types into your videos. Although I don’t have black skin, I’m really interested in learning about other skin types as well and how different kind of products are received by different kinds of skin colors and types. I do have a combination skin and really sensitive and acne prone as well. I used to think i had oily skin, but after trying so many different kind of products, I finally found the products that work for me and don’t make me oily anymore. Just a little in the T-zone and dryer around my cheeks and next to my nose. I have been using the products from Esse for about 2 years now and it really calmed my skin down. I still have acne, but not as severe as it used to be. I also prefer using products that are great for sensitive skin(like the Esse sensitive cleaner & moisturizer) but still affective for my combination and acne prone skin. But I would really like to know; maybe you could use this topic in a next video: how to clear acne scars and redness without retinol. (I tried Differin before but it was way too harsh for my super reactive/sensitive skin, it was so painful). Hope you can take that into account:) Thank you and keep going! 🤗☀️
Great video! How do u think of oil cleansing for oily skin? I’ve heard it could be actually better to not use an oil and stick with micellar. Or does it work for some?..
I have found that my breakouts are worse around my mouth & in my eyebrows. My sebum is really bad & I am wondering if shaving would help? I try to keep the hairs around my mouth & eyebrows plucked, but as soon as hair starts to grow, I will get thick, red breakout. I’ve tried f several things to remove hair because I have a lot of it. Thank you for your help & I really enjoyed your video.
I'm pretty new to skincare and my dermatologist recommended Topicrem and sunscreen SPF 50 and it's doing wonders for me, but I noticed topicrem makes my skin VERY oily, ponds vanishing cream helps mop up the oil really good
Thank you so much!! Could you please do a video on how the weather affects skin? I travel a lot and I recently messed up big time by using Castor oil because of oily skin and new humid weather. Aloevera is a miracle and possibly honey are the only things that worked so far
New yo you channel and thank you for all the information.. you don't over load me .. it's straight and exactly what I need to hear..and your voice is so calming..
Thank you, Dr. Simi! Thank you for the video, ma. Please, at what point will you advice a person with oily, sensitive and acne prone skin to use Accutane /Roccautane treatment?
@tegaedema548 I think accutane can be used by any skin type as long as it has been prescribed by a dermatologist. I have been using tips from this FREE ebook that is linked to my youtube profile. The methods are simple and effective. It has helped me greatly. You should definitely check it out, I hope this helps😃🥰
Cleanser: Cerave or La Roche-Posay (For normal to oily skin) Treatment: Topical solutions- Clindamycin (nighttime only), Rugby Benzoyl Peroxide gel, and Retin-A cream (nighttime only). Moisturizer: Cetephil Skin Cream Sunscreen: La Roche-Posay or Black Girl Sunscreen
Dr. Simi how would one take care of sensitive skin? I don't wear a lot of makeup and I just use Vaseline and coconut oil to keep my skin moist. I am cautious about the products that I use, but still having a few rashes and irritation.
Hey, this may be a stupid question, but shouldn't double cleanse use one oil-based and one water-based cleanser? While the two suggested here are both water-based?
Oddly enough, I have climate-sensitive skin. When I was living in a drier area, my skin was so dehydrated that sometimes, I wouldn't have proper acne, and instead the sebum and trapped push would make the skin above peal and crack instead of forming a pustule. I much prefer pustule acne to this. A lot less painful, but at the same time, sweating is less comfortable in a wetter climate, as the sweat can't evaporate. My hair could go up to two weaks without washing before feeling greasy, it was rough in texture (enough that I could style my entire head of hair on a single pencil) and quite prone to splitting. Now, that I live in a moister climate, I get a lot more oily skin, black heads and greasy hair. My hair stopped splitting, is longer than ever before, which is nice, but now I have exessive dandruff and need to wash my hair more often. I notice that people who live in areas that are moisture tend to have more acne, but look younger, while in drier climates, pre-mature aging is the norm, and I have seen some guys and girls in highschool look like they are fourty, while in moister areas, when I worked at the convenience store, I asked middle-aged clients for their ID, because I grew up in an area where pre-mature aging is so prevalent.
@Lilas.Duveteux yes climate does really affect the skin, for example during the winter I have less breakouts but I have also noticed having a skincare routine that is tailored to different seasons has really improved my skin lets say during the summer. I have also been using tips from a FREE ebook that is linked here on my youtube profile. It has helped me, I hope it helps you too🥰
I’m just starting to use the products that you mentioned for oily skin an d so far I am very pleased. Is there any additional products that I should be using for mature skin? I am 65 with pretty good skin and I would like to keep it that way.
@michelemaynard1966 I also use those products, and it has really helped. I advise using products that increase collagen, or taking foods that boost collagen production. Massaging my skin has also helped me. I have a FREE ebook linked here on my profile, it has advice on aging skin and it has helped me tremendously. you can check it out. I hope this helps🥰
Hi Doctor Simi,i have oily skin and i have noticed that my skin loves Vaseline Petroleum Jelly as a moisturizer. Is there any science to it? Im trying to understand how my oily skin can love a greasy product. I love your channel😍😍
I never really understand skincare until I watch this video thank you for this info! and also when and when can I add hyalironicacid to my skincare routine especially hyaloronicacid with vitamin c
Thank you Dr Simi. I've been suffering from the following; Tan face, acne, clogged pores around the cheek, pimples dark spots. I tried lots of products but I just went from bad to worse😢 My skin is both oily and sensitive. Please what products can help? Should I get these ones you mentioned? I live in Nigeria so that's also a problem, getting these exact products over here might be challenging.
After using a moisturizer then sunscreen SPF . My skin becomes shiny though I use a good moisturizer Neutoregena ! I would know the reason behind please 😢???
Hyaluronic acid has done so much for my face. But only 100 % HA in gel form is the best. Any cream that just 'contains' HA haven't come near the pure stuff. Thanks for the tips, Dr! 🙏🌷
@hassanlipoto-783 Hi love, the products do not bleach the skin. What happens is the products even out your skintone so you become brighter. I hope this helps. If you need more skincare tips, you can check out a FREE ebook that is linked on my profile here on youtube🥰
Sometimes I feel like I can cook a meal with the amount of oil my face makes 😫
summer is the worst time, my skin gets extremely oily..
Yes, I can totally relate! 😀
I feel u. During the summer I'm super shiny
Hi Dr Simi, what is the best way to contact you to book a consultation for keloid treatment? Thank you
@@DrSimiAdedeji may you please make a video going into detail about sebaceous hyperplasia please!😭😭😭😭
I’ve been using this exact skin care routine for a month and my skin has NEVER been this good for this long 💖
Do you think I should try this?? I’m scared to breakout and does it reduce the sebum production?
What skin care routine?Can you share?I have oily skin too.
The prettiest doctor I ever seen 😍
You must be blind
@@lorettayoung3088 well that's unnecessary
@@lorettayoung3088 I feel like people without a profile picture shouldn’t be talking 😐…….. anyways
@@lorettayoung3088 she's not blind. it's you that must not have taste. you should see a doctor for that problem
Retinol (vit A), salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, niacinamide (vit B3), hyaluronic acid; cleanse, treat, moisturize, & sunscreen

Hii
I have heard oily skin ages slower, so have taken it as a blessing 🤣
Yeah, but it's not worth popping pimples in your 30s.
And what if you have combination skin (oily and dry)?
I've heard this too, 1st time someone told me MAC makeup artist she said "be blessed with it, don't stress it," and she proceeded to give me the best tip...moisturize!
Yes, same
I have a very oily skin but I have fought pimple battles on and off. Huh....

Do you suggest that I try??
I'm always really excited when I see you uploaded a new Video!

hello, did you try and products? Did they help?
Updates?
Are you able to do a video on toners, are they a necessary step in skincare routine?
Think you could talk about how to minimize the appearance of large pores? Awesome video btw!! :)
I had the same problem and what helped me was the Inkey List salicylic acid cleanser and niacinamine from the ordinary 😉
I agree, i have been struggling with large pores for years
Steam your face to open up your pores, I always do it when I put on my face the Aztec Indian healing clay mask mixed with apple cider vinegar or water.let it dry then rinse, after that, I put a sheet mask in the freezer to cool and put it on my face to tighten up my pores
I do it at least once a week, my pores are really small
Very informative as usual. Thanks doc
My pleasure! Thanks for your support! 😊
I'm so happy to see this
I have a serious problem with oily skin my nose is always shining with the oil coming from my skin
I sometimes feel embarrassed in public
The same goes for my acne I have almost tried everything possible for them to go away
I even have acnes on my back and chest as well
I don't even feel comfortable to wear any cloths that expose my body
Plz help
I've literally found my acne trouble twin😒
Lmk if anything helps literally have the same issue 😩
Updates?
You're so beautiful! With and without makeup! And love your accent!
Hello Dr Simi, can you make a video on how to reduce the appearance of stretch marks? TFS🤎🖤🤎🖤
Thank you for your video suggestion. Yes I can. This topic seems to be a popular request. 😊🤓
Thank you this was very helpful. Will be buying those products to try😊 my face gets so oily it’s very embarrassing and doesn’t feel nice on the skin either.
Now that I’m older I need my oily skin it helps my skin to look glowy vs when I was younger it looked greesy
Peppermint/spearmint tea have really helped me! And at my worst, the medication Spirolactone that was prescribed by my dermatologist. Both of which lower androgen levels. I hope this helps someone!
Ohhh 🤔 True to that. Hydrate the skin, so it doesn't overload in producing oil.
I never realised i had mixed skin. This was really helpful! Thank you, now i know ways to improve it. :)
I’m new to the channel.. Hi 👋
I’m sure I’ll enjoy watching your videos while I do my skincare. I have oily skin
AM routine: Cerave- Renewing SA cleanser, Rovectin- lotus water cream, then I finish with Black girl sunscreen kids SPF 50
PM routine: Cerave- foaming facial cleanser, Good light- Moon glow toning milk, Good molecules- hyaluronic acid, La Roche- Posay- Double repair face moisturizer, and Aklief (prescription retinol)
Could you please do a video on how to get rid of pimples
love it from Tanzania🇹🇿
Can you do a video specifically for Acne?
I have none of the 'characteristics of oily skin' besides excessive oil. My skin is clear, smooth and no hyperpigmentation. I just want to be able to wear makeup without an oil slick. Lol
It may be the makeup/humidity instead of your skin
Try a primer and/or setting spray. And if you opt for either Sephora & Ulta has a good selection of mini/smaller products in regard to trial & error versus purchasing larger size products to try. Good luck
Same but when I do wear makeup up I look more oily!
Dehydrated skin maybe
Do you use a toner.
My favourite person on CZcams right now

I have oily skin, and my skin really reacts well to benzoyl peroxyde and salicilyc acid. They helped me getting rid of acne. Even if this takes so much time but it torally worth it. Hydration also helped my skin alot into regulating sebum production.
Thank you for sharing this! I know it will be helpful for many watching this video! 😊
Did you use both ??
@@dailydogsoftheinternet1321 yes, but I use them separatly because they shouldn't be mixed. I use benzoyl peroxyde every other night ( 3 times a week ) , and I use salicylic acid every morning ( and every night that where I don't use venzoyl peroxyde) + ( I have a toner that contains salycilic acid ) .
Wow, I have been struggling with oily skin and PIH for years and years, and I never knew benzoyl peroxide can make you more prone to PIH that's what my past dermatologist prescribed to me... Thank you so much for all the helpful info
Hello Dr. I don't know if this is a women only channel. I typed oily skin and ended up here. I would be grateful if you could help me also. I am a 39 yrs old man, having Indian origins( i dnt know if it's important to mention), living in a tropical island and i have oily skin and still get acnes at this age. Your advice will really help me out. Thank you.

I think your video/channel info is so helpful and I appreciate your intellect ~ I have pale & menopausal skin but even still !!!!! This is validating ❤
Amazing video. It’s great to understand the science behind oily skin and the right ingredients to look for in the products. Great to see a routine for AM and PM, really useful information. Thank you 🥰👍🏻
This is the best video I’ve seen on oily skin. 👏🏻
I loved this video! So informative and very detailed. My skin has gotten more oily than usually and I’ve been experiencing breakouts recently. I followed along taking notes in my notes app on my phone. I will be trying this skincare routine soon, I will provide an update when I start. Thank you for teaching💜

At 45 my skin has literally turned into an oil slick. I’ve always had combo skin but now it’s oily all over 🤔 hormones probably but I can not find a moisturiser that suits me. I’ve wasted more money 😵. Thanks for the recommendations 👏🏼
Where have u been all my life! I am in my 50's and am looking for skin care products that won't cause makeup to run! I'm tired of spending so much 💰 money on skin care that's not geared to people who have oily skin. I'm gonna keep watching your videos! Please keep bringing them on! 🙏 Make your own line of skin care!
i do not have acne but my entire face is an oil slick. going through menopause but ive had skin like this for the last 20 year any help is appreciated
Dr. Simi I can't thank you enough for this video. It's only been a week and I have already noticed a huge difference. My face is no longer oily 🙌🏽 I look forward to more content from your channel 🙂
Hi doctor, thank you very much for your advices, I would like to know products I can use against stretch marks. Thank you for what you are doing, I'm learning so much through your videos. Looking forward for your response. 😘😘😘
Hi! I will be posting a video on stretch marks very soon! Hopefully this will answer many of your questions. Thank you for your support. ❤️
Yay. The doctor is back!!!
I most certainly am! 😉
Me too my dearest doctor dry scalp and oily face, body
I can relate!
Doctors are such heroes!!
Dr Simi please make a video like this for dry skin. I also suffer from atopic dermatitis, and have no idea of what washing routine I should follow. Your vids are always amazing and easy to understand ❤
Changed up my skin care routine about 10days ago and I seem to be breaking out. Everyone is telling me to stick with it because it's my skins getting used to it. Do you agree? X
No
Updates?
I enjoyed this video! Thank you for the education.
I would love to see a video on make up products(foundation, etc.) best for oily skin on dark tones that will not clog the pore. Your make up always looks flawless.
I find that Sali-res helps a lot with my only skin. It even cleared up my son's acne.
Thank you 🙏🏾 great advice. I am incorporating many of these steps for my oily skin routine and it’s working. But I definitely would like to incorporate the la roche posay 50+ spf and the a few of the face therapy products. Great job explaining each products purpose and your akin care routine. This is very helpful. Any suggestions on products best for getting rid of hyperpigmentation from acne scars?
You are Great Doc.Thank you for all these lessons
So I've been going on using things I think my skin doesn't want, so now I'll try this recommended skin care routine.
Some things have worked before but not for a long period of time
Thank you for this educational video. I really like that you incorporate all kinds of skin tones and types into your videos. Although I don’t have black skin, I’m really interested in learning about other skin types as well and how different kind of products are received by different kinds of skin colors and types.
I do have a combination skin and really sensitive and acne prone as well. I used to think i had oily skin, but after trying so many different kind of products, I finally found the products that work for me and don’t make me oily anymore. Just a little in the T-zone and dryer around my cheeks and next to my nose. I have been using the products from Esse for about 2 years now and it really calmed my skin down. I still have acne, but not as severe as it used to be. I also prefer using products that are great for sensitive skin(like the Esse sensitive cleaner & moisturizer) but still affective for my combination and acne prone skin.
But I would really like to know; maybe you could use this topic in a next video: how to clear acne scars and redness without retinol. (I tried Differin before but it was way too harsh for my super reactive/sensitive skin, it was so painful). Hope you can take that into account:)
Thank you and keep going! 🤗☀️
Great video! How do u think of oil cleansing for oily skin? I’ve heard it could be actually better to not use an oil and stick with micellar.
Or does it work for some?..
My dad has really oily skin so I was blessed with it my mom Said am so oily prob I may never get rinkles b cuz my face is always moist
Thank you! Have such oily skin.
I have found that my breakouts are worse around my mouth & in my eyebrows. My sebum is really bad & I am wondering if shaving would help? I try to keep the hairs around my mouth & eyebrows plucked, but as soon as hair starts to grow, I will get thick, red breakout. I’ve tried f several things to remove hair because I have a lot of it. Thank you for your help & I really enjoyed your video.
Can you please do a video on access facial hair on girls, cystic acne and PCOS. Thanks! 😊
I second this.
Thirdly agreeeeee
I'm pretty new to skincare and my dermatologist recommended Topicrem and sunscreen SPF 50 and it's doing wonders for me, but I noticed topicrem makes my skin VERY oily, ponds vanishing cream helps mop up the oil really good
Thank you so much for sharing. Can you please list all the products, that you used. Thank you
Thank you so much for all these, I'm gonna jump right into it
Thank you so much!! Could you please do a video on how the weather affects skin? I travel a lot and I recently messed up big time by using Castor oil because of oily skin and new humid weather. Aloevera is a miracle and possibly honey are the only things that worked so far
Awesome information..I’m extremely oily and I’m extremely hairy (face,chest,stomach,legs) and I suffer from scarring alopecia
Lovely skincare guide! Thank you for your high quality educational content! 🙏🏼 Greetings from Brazil
New yo you channel and thank you for all the information.. you don't over load me .. it's straight and exactly what I need to hear..and your voice is so calming..
Thank you! And welcome to my channel! 😊
Thank you, Dr. Simi! Thank you for the video, ma. Please, at what point will you advice a person with oily, sensitive and acne prone skin to use Accutane /Roccautane treatment?
@tegaedema548 I think accutane can be used by any skin type as long as it has been prescribed by a dermatologist. I have been using tips from this FREE ebook that is linked to my youtube profile. The methods are simple and effective. It has helped me greatly. You should definitely check it out, I hope this helps😃🥰
I've been using the bazac gel and it helps ...I added mine into my face lotion so it's not as dehydrating
Cleanser: Cerave or La Roche-Posay (For normal to oily skin)
Treatment: Topical solutions- Clindamycin (nighttime only), Rugby Benzoyl Peroxide gel, and Retin-A cream (nighttime only).
Moisturizer: Cetephil Skin Cream
Sunscreen: La Roche-Posay or Black Girl Sunscreen
Hello Dr. Simi, is exfoliation important for oily skin? If so, any recommendations? Thank you :)
🥳🥳🥳 for oily skin......less wrinkles that's one good news.
Yes definitely!
Please do video for combination skin 😌
Dr. Simi how would one take care of sensitive skin? I don't wear a lot of makeup and I just use Vaseline and coconut oil to keep my skin moist. I am cautious about the products that I use, but still having a few rashes and irritation.
Hi can you talk about seborrheic dermatitis next? Thank you
I love this video it's so informational and you explain things perfectly. I am taking these recommendations and will be tweaking my skincare routine!
Thank you Esmeralda! Let us know how you get on!
Hey, this may be a stupid question, but shouldn't double cleanse use one oil-based and one water-based cleanser? While the two suggested here are both water-based?
Oddly enough, I have climate-sensitive skin. When I was living in a drier area, my skin was so dehydrated that sometimes, I wouldn't have proper acne, and instead the sebum and trapped push would make the skin above peal and crack instead of forming a pustule. I much prefer pustule acne to this. A lot less painful, but at the same time, sweating is less comfortable in a wetter climate, as the sweat can't evaporate. My hair could go up to two weaks without washing before feeling greasy, it was rough in texture (enough that I could style my entire head of hair on a single pencil) and quite prone to splitting. Now, that I live in a moister climate, I get a lot more oily skin, black heads and greasy hair. My hair stopped splitting, is longer than ever before, which is nice, but now I have exessive dandruff and need to wash my hair more often.
I notice that people who live in areas that are moisture tend to have more acne, but look younger, while in drier climates, pre-mature aging is the norm, and I have seen some guys and girls in highschool look like they are fourty, while in moister areas, when I worked at the convenience store, I asked middle-aged clients for their ID, because I grew up in an area where pre-mature aging is so prevalent.
@Lilas.Duveteux yes climate does really affect the skin, for example during the winter I have less breakouts but I have also noticed having a skincare routine that is tailored to different seasons has really improved my skin lets say during the summer. I have also been using tips from a FREE ebook that is linked here on my youtube profile. It has helped me, I hope it helps you too🥰
I’m just starting to use the products that you mentioned for oily skin an d so far I am very pleased. Is there any additional products that I should be using for mature skin? I am 65 with pretty good skin and I would like to keep it that way.
@michelemaynard1966 I also use those products, and it has really helped. I advise using products that increase collagen, or taking foods that boost collagen production. Massaging my skin has also helped me. I have a FREE ebook linked here on my profile, it has advice on aging skin and it has helped me tremendously. you can check it out. I hope this helps🥰
Hi Doctor Simi,i have oily skin and i have noticed that my skin loves Vaseline Petroleum Jelly as a moisturizer. Is there any science to it? Im trying to understand how my oily skin can love a greasy product. I love your channel😍😍
I never really understand skincare until I watch this video thank you for this info! and also when and when can I add hyalironicacid to my skincare routine especially hyaloronicacid with vitamin c
Thank you Dr Simi.
I've been suffering from the following;
Tan face, acne, clogged pores around the cheek, pimples dark spots.
I tried lots of products but I just went from bad to worse😢
My skin is both oily and sensitive. Please what products can help? Should I get these ones you mentioned?
I live in Nigeria so that's also a problem, getting these exact products over here might be challenging.
After using a moisturizer then sunscreen SPF . My skin becomes shiny though I use a good moisturizer Neutoregena ! I would know the reason behind please 😢???
Hyaluronic acid has done so much for my face. But only 100 % HA in gel form is the best. Any cream that just 'contains' HA haven't come near the pure stuff.
Thanks for the tips, Dr! 🙏🌷
So good to het this advice from an actual doctor. Thank you Dr Simi
This is wat i have yearning for
Thanks doctor
My question is does these ingredients don't bleach?
@hassanlipoto-783 Hi love, the products do not bleach the skin. What happens is the products even out your skintone so you become brighter. I hope this helps. If you need more skincare tips, you can check out a FREE ebook that is linked on my profile here on youtube🥰
Love this video! Would you be able to do a dry skin / combo version of this video please?❤️
Thank you! I will do! 😊
