HOW I CLEARED MY ACNE & HYPERPIGMENTATION | GLASS SKIN SKINCARE ROUTINE 

skincare is so interesting one persons holy grail routine could be another persons nightmare.

Hack: put puffy scrunches on your wrist to avoid water and product dripping all down your arm, etc. while you clean your face

Yall the general key to a clear face is this every night: 1) if you wear make up or other things on your face like spf or lotion remove it, 2)clarifying cleanser to strip the makeup you missed and other things sitting on your face like oil and dirt. 3)some type of gentle exfoliation. whether it's a gentle chemical peel, or exfoliating gloves. Just something to remove dead skin on your face. Don't go ham on your face and rub it raw but gently remove the top later of dead skin cause that traps dirt and oil under your skin and causes bumps and acne. I say gentle exfoliant because this is a nightly routine, and exfoliating to harshly everyday will damage your skin. 3) something to moisturize the skin (removing the top dead layer makes moisturizers soak into the skin better that's why you moisturize after exfoliating) and something to minimize pores 4) your sealant to trap that moisture and goodness in your skin The products aren't really the key thing here, it's the technique, knowing each step and what each step is for, and consistency. I do t wear foundation anymore since perfecting my skin routine and the stuff I use is inexpensive because I know what each step is for and understand their purpose. For me I keep it simple. I use an $8 cleanser from Medline Remedy to strip dirt and oil from my face, I use EITHER exfoliating gloves with my black soap to do the next 2 steps at the same time (exfoliate and moisturize because black soap has Shea butter in it) OR I use my 20% glycolic acid wipes to exfoliate my skin and remove that top layer then go in with my black soap (I don't do this as much, more so when I was trying to get rid of the dark marks and acne starting out when it was bad), then after moisturizing I rub my fa e down with witch-hazel because it's an astringent, meaning it causes the contraction of skin cells and tissue.. laymans terms it shrinks pores, then seal my face with good ole Vaseline. It's not the products you use, I promise. You can use whatever you like so long as they do the things in each step. The main thing is technique and staying consistent with it EVERYDAY till your skin clears up. ✨️ then there's other little things you can do to help aid your skin clearing up, like drinking more water, weekly changing of your pillow cases, sheets, and other things that touch your face regularly (like even cleaning your glasses which alot of people with nose acne should do), changing you diet if you eat a lot of greasy or sugary foods and eating enough vitamin c and biotin, or taking a supplement with them. These last things arent mandatory but they will help aid in your face clearing up. Also stop popping your bumps and touching your face in general

I’m just fascinated by how your edges stayed in place the entire time 😧

Ugh, I always get so nervous with skincare. Products can get really pricey, and there's no guarantee certain products will even work for your skin once you try them lol. We really be out here taking risks

Maaammm it’s the ponytail for me!!!😍😍😍😍

Your skin looks almost the exact same without makeup 😍😍😍😍😍

It’s how when you wiped the makeup off and still looked just as good for me. Your skin is flawless !

She’s literally so pretty she can go out into the world with just sunscreen and lip gloss and rock it…

Hey sweetie! Instead of using the coconut oil ,you can opt by using cleansing balm ( likes heimish co, banilla co ) as it will act the same as coconut oil but also it will emulsify with water and making 'less mess' when you rinse it off from your face! Hope this helps!

This is so similar to my skin routine! I seriously transformed my skin with oils, cerave products, retinol, other serums and a great cleanser! I use a microfiber face exfoliating pad or cloth instead of the brush bc it’s easy to wash and keep clean but I loved this video! So authentic and real! Thank you for putting out good, honest content!

I would recommend to everyone to buy some reusable makeup remover pads or cloths, some even come in super cute designs as they are basically makeup wipes but they're not thrown in the trash after one use.

Im just a brother who wants clear skin, I appreciate the tips. You definitely hit a homerun with this one queen!

I’ve learned that my cure to hyperpigmentation was fragrance free products. I even bought unscented natural deodorant and my armpits almost matches the rest of my skin. And I’m shaving more frequently. I’ve learned a lot about artificial fragrances and the harsh horrible ingredients in them, which can vary. Also, companies don’t have to list the awful ingredients they used for their fragrances. So we never really know. Then there are some very drying ingredients that also damage skin. so I and found that these were the major reason for any breakouts I’ve had and hyperpigmentation. Since I switched to fragrance free face products, my hyperpigmentation drastically improved. I’ve definitely noticed smaller pores and this method even improved my sons acne where other things haven’t. I’m telling y’all, stay away from fragrances and then see what other ingredients might be worsening issues. But I do feel fragrance is a major contributor to hyperpigmentation

I’ve been following your skin care routine and I have noticed a change in my skin. Especially in my problem areas around my chin from hair growth and hyperpigmentation. The hyperpigmentation is diminishing. Thank you for this!

Hi Stephanie Voltaire~ I'm korean skin care cosmetic chemist. I'm really so happy watch you Video because you review i made products. We live far away from each other, but we were moved to see each other making and using products like this. I took a vacation today because I had a hard time with a lot of work recently, and I'm really happy to see your video and gain strength. Thank you again. and have a nice dream~ from Korea~^^ and i push the aubscription button and wait your next video~^^

Coconut oil for me is comedogenic and would react terribly for my skin. I'm more than happy you found a routine that works for you. Your skin looks amazing

Girl you don’t need no make up! You’re natural beauty!

Your skin and your makeup is immaculate Girl ! You don't even need makeup , this is major goals for me !

I work in a mail order pharmacy that specializes in dermatology prescriptions… so please be careful with that skin lite medication that she mentions. Yes these prescription creams can be expensive when prescribed and often not covered by insurance (like sometimes $100s and $1000s) so I’m not against going a cheaper route. Just do your research! Wear SPF! Don’t use for an extensive amount of time because you can cause internal problems like liver issues. This is prescribed medication for a reason so use it responsibly. ❤

You spot treating with the hydroquinone is the right way! I hate when people think your bleaching when your just correcting. Either with Vit C or anything else its the best way to see results with discoloration.

Your skin looks amazing and you are beautiful. I used to have a Clarisonic and when I first started using it my skin was amazing for a bit but the effect didn’t last even with continued use. Clarisonic went out of business and I think it’s because they are recommended against due to over exfoliating and the brush heads harboring bacteria. So I would tread lightly with the brush and ditch the makeup wipes because they say that all that rubbing isn’t good in the long run and it’s also bad for the environment. I believe the wipes don’t break down as they’re made of plastic material. Also I’ve read and heard a lot about hydroquinone being great for the skin but that we should be careful not to over use for extended periods of time because… something about the melasma coming back worse or something. Especially for skin of color. It looks like all of these things are working out for you because you look amazing but just be careful. And wear sunblock.

Okay but are we not going to talk about how PERFECT her eyebrows are?

MAN YOUR EYEBROWS ARE PERFECT!

Your skin looks so *beautiful, healthy & GLOWY* 😍 the technique you used for washing your face is SO HELPFUL!!

CHILE, I'm ready to buy all these products!! & You're so right, a spin brush is KEY. Thank you gorg!

Her skin is super pretty!! My two cent worth: So this routine is not for dry skin girls.. in this video she exfoliated when she used the wipes, when she rubbed the first face, when used face brush, the she chemically exfoliated with then when she used the salicylic face wash. For oily girls: over exfoliating can cause excess oil production. Also licorice root is a gentle way to treat hyperpigmentation.

I loved that you washed your hands in the beginning

You’re gorgeous and your skin is flawless!!

Nice routine, especially when wearing full coverage foundation. I would swap The Ordinary hyaluronic for a high/low molecular weight one such as Eucerin. High weight serums just sit on the skin and benefit the surface, they can’t sink into it.

I just want to say I purchased your whole skin care routine…let me tell you I am loving it. I am liking how my skin is looking. It’s only been a week, but I already see progress. The glory skin is what I really love. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the non water tip with the cleanser. I feel the same about having make up on my face. Once I started really exfoliating it feels so good.

What about the hair on your face? Just wondering why you don’t brush your hair off of your face so you can clean your entire face.

The coconut oil for the face is a “NO”. It’s highly comedogenic to the pores!

You know your skin is flawless girl. Its beautiful

You are GORGEOUS!! ♡ I'm so glad this works for you, but wipes of any kind are so harsh of my face, and same for brushes. I usually use an oil to remove the makeup then a foaming cleanser to remove the oil, followed by a chemical exfoliation mask. (Blue Tansy is fantastic btw! You feel a difference IMMEDIATELY after each use. I hiiiiiighly recommend.) Then moisturizer and I'm done! So for my sensitive skin girlies, yall can try this and add any other products she mentioned! Serums are great, although i don't use any ♡

I love how you do your edges, so cute!

I became a vegetarian and my face is smooth. You are what you eat

Girl you don’t need any makeup. Your skin are just perfect

Okay I needed a night skincare routine! Thanks you !

Thank you so much for this video!!! I will definitely be looking to purchase these products cause my skin has definitely been a insecurity problem for me!! ❤

You do not need make up, you are naturally beautiful

Your skin is absolutely gorgeous and you’re so pretty!! Thanks for sharing ❤

I loved this routine. I’m going to incorporate this.

Hey! instead of coconut oil and makeup wipes try using a cleansing balm it removes makeup and melts everything it also turns milky after adding water making sure all your makeup is removed so there is no need for makeup wipes ! (makeup wipes can be stripping to the skin so it may look flawless but it may be hurting your protective barrier)

This was such a breath of fresh air to watch. Flawless Sis ✨

I haven’t even got all of the products your referring to just the cleanser and Biosance serum has helped me on its own . I also following your morning skin regimen routine by far both videos are the best skin routines for black woman with deep skin tones such as myself . I love the fact that you use top shelf skin products because our skin is rich I really hate when I see a skin regimen and literally everything is products you can get from cvs , Walgreens or Walmart

Your skin looks so amazing and pretty 😍 what an incredible way to go

I just can not use all these products😫😫 I need a simple 3 step routine

Please switch over to a silicone brush. A lot of dermatologists dont recommend bristle brushes due to it holding bacteria, making micro tears in the skin, and interrupting the skin's layer with long term use. Although most would say you only need your hands, they ask if you feel you need to use a brush use the silicone one. Edit: eye creams are a flop lol. They work for that day but most will not cause semi-permanent changes.

So happy I found your channel! Love your content ✨

urm the makeup you did is amazing!

COME ON EDGES!!!!! Staying in the place the whole video 🤝I love it

You’re naturally beautiful

Def some gems in this night routine 💎

Not perfect, where? Not flawless, where? 😍 Love this routine!

Oh my gosh you are sooo pretty like I could barely focus

Your skin is flawless 💙

Yeahh I'm hopping on board with this ...

you are absolutely beautiful. I'm currently on that same journey. The hard part is getting rid of the new acne scars that show up

You don't need makeup girl. You skin is soooo beautiful 😍

Have you ever thought trying reusable cotton pads or the makeup eraser or the face halo? Because makeup wipes are not eco-friendly and it is expensive in the long run. . .

Firstly, you are gorgeous! And your hair was super cute. Thanks for the skin tips!

I love the cleansing brushes!! They really help! I used to use the facial sponges but you go through so much. If you ever get a chance to get or try facials from Hand and stone from one of their top lead estheticians. I love hand and stones clarity line but, their dermalogica line a bit cheaper and honestly a little better on some products! I started working there and using their products recently at home and I noticed a difference. My absolute favorite is the shimmering facial oil, it gives you such a nice dewy glowy look before your moisturizer and sunscreen! The best part is the esthetician can tell you what your skin is missing, and sometimes the products come with samples to give out if your regimen that day included a certain product that would help you until your next visit!

Enjoyed Stephanie! You skin is beautiful 😊

Skin Flawless Girl ✨👏🏾

I 💯 agree with washing hands before starting cleansing Routine. I just don't use as many items. I am happy with my results and her skin looks Healthy and Hydrated ✨🌾😌

Need to try this routine thank you for sharing your skin is flawless ♥️

When you talk about overexfolating you defenitely need to take in consideration that using the brush you use is a exfoliation step as well. So using it every day can be to harsh on the long term. It has even proved that the use of that kind of brushes can be too aggressive for our skin. Using makeup wipes is also not the best option cause that can be irritating and you are exfoliating as well ( due to friction) I would rather use,like someone already mentioned a balm. For the rest nice routine thou

Thanks for this video. Your skin looks amazing

Thank you for sharing! I’m going to be trying this routine for sure! Have you done/are you able to do a morning skincare routine? I’d be very interested in what you use then too!

Honestly was just watching for tips for glass skin but you actually helped me discover I have melasma! I’ve been trying to figure out what these patches are on my skin that seemed to develop and now I know thank you so much!!!

Love love love this beautiful skin 😍😍😍😍 sooo silky

A beautiful, classy lady ❤️ Enjoyed watching this, thank you!

Wonderful!! Excellent choices.

Wow! You are still so beautiful without all that make up on. I must admit, i was waiting to see how you’d look after the make up and 100% still! Thank you for this video.

Aweeeee you made me smile ❤️🥺 you look so happy and so confident!! Keep going mama 💕

Your skin looks gorgeous! 🙂

Really feeling the giant baby hair swoop!

Skinlite is ok if you use for short period and with alot of sunscreen in morning.... I think you should use moisturiser then skinlite... So it will remain as spot treatment... Otherwise while rubbing moisturiser all over face, the skinlite would also spread

Girl I’ve had that same spin brush for 3 years and I can’t live without it! You definitely don’t need an expensive spin brush

How long did it take to go from before to after? And do you have a recommended sunscreen? I’ve had dark, oily, acne prone skin for years.

I use covonut oul for makeup removal as well. I only do eye makeup (no foundation at all). I also love La Roche Posay Lipikar Cleanser.

Started using Vaseline as a slugging thingy for 1 week. My horrible skin is already looking better.. my skin was scary . I had cysts and pimples and yap..I felt ugly and people would stare.. I still have a few breakouts and black spots but it's only been 2 weeks since starting on Vaseline.. I'm grateful for the little progress.. my skin is very dry so ya.. it would also peel.. but ya.. I stopped using harsh products and I'm praying my acne goes away soon ...It's already so much better

Also remember your skin is a reflection of what’s going on in your body (poor diet, dehydration, hormonal imbalances etc)

Based on thumbnail I thought it was a video on edges 😂 your skin is beautiful!!

I’m going to try everything you mentioned ❤️❤️ skin bomb

You're gorgeous, thank you for all the tips.

You have beautiful skin. I keep my night routine simple. After I cleanse with my face oil, i then use my philosophy all in one face cleanser with my clarisonic brush. I rinse, dry, apply face moisturizer, Retin A, eye cream, neck treatment, lip treatment.

Your skin looks amazing and dewy . What a look !!!

your skin looks flawless to me 🤩🤩🤩

Your skin looks great. Thanks for the video.

Truely stunning! ✨

I've been watching this video over and over since July this year, debating if i should buy the skinlite cream. I finally did order it. I've been using it for just 5 days and my skin is literally glowing. Im so happy and excited to see my darks spots fade gradually!!! Thanks so much!! 💗

God, you're so pretty❤😭 like straight up Beautiful, I can't wait to look like this after following your skin care✨✨✨

I am definitely going to try these products, I have oily skin as well.

Yeeeeess!.. You're glowing!!.. Skin looks fabulous. Going to purchase these products ASAP!😂🔥🔥🔥

Wow you wiped off the makeup and barely anything changed 😭💗

how many products omg. but ur hair and skin is GORGEOUSSS

I see everyone using the la roche posay cleanser and I have very oily acne prone skin but it’s a bit out of my budget and I don’t want to waste my money if it doesn’t do anything so I might just end up trying to get a sample to try it first, hopefully it works because it’s a really good price for the big bottle
