Keke’s SkinCare Routine 

That moment when you look in the mirror and CRY cuz your face is full of Big ass Cyst and dark spots but your boyfriend looks at u like he don't see nothing wrong. You don't know if you should cry or be happy. Thank God for the significant others who love you with no judgment. Thank you for helping me put the makeup brush down Keke.

Anyone who hasn’t had acne will never understand the up and down emotional roller coaster of it

Keke feels like my homegirl who just so happens to be famous. Love her energy.✨

She is so humble, down to earth, not like the typical celebrities. She really keeps it very natural real. Love her simplicity, her energy and spirits. Much love and respect to her. Many blessings in her life.

I wish acne was normalized. Having acne is depressing af. Also how trash is it that it takes your skin but a week to go/ look bonkers and months to look/ get back to normal. 🙄😞

Those three minutes right there in the beginning of the video are SO important. I've struggled with my skin since I was a teenager and people would come up to me with the CRAZIEST advice, completely unsolicited at the most random times, which was so disrespectful and I'd have to go OFF. Like why are you telling me to wash my face with dish soap? To use lemon and toothpaste? Other people would make remarks about my higiene (you probably don't wash your face, etc) and straight up blame me for my skin's condition. It's crazy.

As a Person with PCOS thank you for your transparency ❤️❤️❤️❤️ & the Unsolicited SKIN ADVICE felt that cuz people love to tell u about U 😒

FACTS!!! I'm 37 yrs. old And I Have Had Acne ALLLL My Life!!! And People Don't Understand That It's A Sensitive Subject Especially When You're The One That's Been Dealing With All Your Life!!! And Trust Me I Have Tried EVERYTHING!!!! And Now I Feel Bad Because It's Hereditary And Now My 14yrs. old Daughter Is Going Through The Same Thing! But, I Thanks God That Her Skin Heals So Fast That She Not Left With Dark Spots Like I Do!!!! And I Have NEVER Worn Makeup Not One Single Day In My Life!!! So My Acne Has Been On Full Display All My Life!!! People Don't Understand The Struggle It Is To Have This Condition!!! It's Hard....

She's such a great communicator and she's absolutely correct, everyone's skin care journey is unique to the individual.

I don't care about how clear your skin is, you are still so beautiful ❤

Please let this be a reminder for all skincare gurus and RU-vidrs not to make "reactions" on other people's routines. As Keke said, it's a specific journey for each person and if someone would be looking for advise, they would ask for it. This is what works for her. Peroid.

Keke is absolutely right,the skin care journey is a journey one has to embark on they're own, experiment a bit with different products & see what will work for You. Thank you Keke for the skin care routine ❣️

This is the type of videos we need to see about skincare. This is REAL and helps many of us who may struggle with mild to severe acne bumps/cysts or scarring. I appreciate Keke for making this video.

One thing I’ve noticed is that men don’t break out as badly as women do and I think a lot of it has to do with the hormones and the changes that women have to deal with. I also feel like a skin routine really shouldn’t need too many skin care products. I feel like the less the better.

I stopped using a regular towel or any type of fabric to dry my face after washing. I use a paper towel only. This has helped greatly to reduce any transfer of bacteria or irritants.

I don’t wish acne struggles on my worst enemy. The mental games it plays with you when you’ve struggled for yearsssss is no joke.

When you came out about PCOS and shared your acne journey, you made me feel so comfortable with my skin. I have dark marks because of hyperpigmentation, but I am so comfortable with them now and have an understanding that over time it will fade away. My beauty come from within. Thank you for being transparent!

"I've seen people slap coconut oil on their face, my skin would die..." lmao i loved that comment right there I 100% agree with that 😂. So many people struggle with acne and PCOS (including myself) and it truly is so annoying to hear ppl who don't suffer from outbreaks to tell you what they think they know will work for you. But I truly thank you for being so open and real about this situation!!

It is so refreshing and uplifting to see someone as beautiful and upbeat as Keke talk about acne. Masks have been taking a toll on my skin and subsequently my mental health. Idk how to express I really appreciate this video. It’s so relaxing to listen to her talk too, would love her on a podcast.

Thank you. People always told me about my Acne and what they did. Never considered that I had kidney disease and did dialysis 😩our journeys are not the same.

Yes my skin is a sensitive topic. I can’t stand when people, close friends and family point out a pimple on my face like I didn’t know it was there 😒 Or say things like omg what’s going on with your skin?! Bih if I knew I wouldn’t be breaking out!

I'm 44 years old and have struggled my whole life with acne and found your honest take on skin issues very inspiring. Keep being real. Stay blessed!

I’ve never felt truly represented by any celebrity besides Keke. God I love her

I noticed after the Noxema, your skin already looked better. It appeared brighter and not dry. Good luck on your journey.❤

I'm currently on my 2nd round treatment of Accutane at month 3. I'm on 60mg at the moment but alternate to 80mg as directed by my dermatologist. Right cheekbones are already smooth like butter and the left cheekbones and chin are a work in progress. I don't ever breakout on my forehead. Accutane is a gamechanger for me. Side effects I can handle....such as dry lips, backache, headache, joint pains, drowsiness. I'm surprised 😮 Accutane didn't work on you Keke. You're still beautiful queen. 😍 Update: April 2023=7 month treatment with Accutane completed and skin is flawless and glass-like. Dermatologist now prescribed topical tretinoin for preventative measures. Accutane and tretinoin ❤ 😍

she’s such an intelligent, well spoken woman! she radiates strength and positivity ✨ glad there are women in the industry like Keke- a true role model for the young girls right now.

“...And God. Now get into it.” I love it 🙌🏾

I love keke🥰I love that some of her products she using is relatable we can purchase from Walmart or a CVS or Walgreens

YES don't give me no got dang advice!! I'm sick of people trying to tell me how to treat my face.... Ugh also don't comment on my skin unless it's positive LOL Were all different no matter what!

Keke is a breathe of fresh air. So good to see someone who is authentically themselves with so much self hate going on in a world full of nip tuckers, botox and bbls. People may do whatever they choose, but like I said she is a breath of fresh air 🥰

Chile, the way she said "My skin would dieeee" 😂

As a person with troubled scarred skin I needed this for my morning 🙏🏼

Keke you took me back 30 years with that Noxema 😅 you are an old soul!

"Im walking through the steps for what works for me." The most brutally honest thing Ive heard from her. 👏👏👏👏👏

You’re a true Virgo!!! So humble & kind. 💗♍️

I always had hormonal acne issues.. and When I was pregnant I was one of those unlucky gals whose face, chest and back break out due to the hormonal change. In the end the only thing that worked was African black soap and Nivea creme after I washed. Those two basic things saved me. Don't know if it'll work for everybody but those two things are doing the lords work right now lol.

Can I just say dealing with acne and skin issues is very hard an emotionally triggering thing especially as a young female so I applaud u Keke for being open an real about this an making girls like me feel less alone ❤️❤️

Love how transparent and open you are with the world it brings a level of humility that quite frankly most Stars don't have. Super Informative with the tips and tricks too, I love this 🧡 Southside Represent !!

That Paula’s Choice liquid exfoliator works wonders for the underarms. I stopped using deodorant and just use that under my arms. No odor whatsoever

Omg!!! I’m barely getting my skin under control! Probiotics, and female hormone protect by solaray saved me! Also I got rid of dairy (This is not me trying to tell you what to try sis!) Thank you for being so transparent. I use to get teased for my acne all the time. And I’m still self conscious about it. But seeing you on camera with no make up is so EMPOWERING! Love you Keke!! ❤️❤️❤️🔥

ugh I love her personality and how open she is

Yes Keke give us that skin care routine! We live for this! Love how transparency and the disclaimers. Love how real you are!!

OMG... if I ever used Sea Breeze my skin would fricking DIE! BUT... Paula's Choice BHA is my holy grail. Different strokes. Skin is different.

I love how down to earth and humble she is omg she is such a sweetheart....i love the fact the she is showing us affordable products!! Thank you for taking the time to share your skincare products..

As a Cyster, Thank you for bringing PCOS Awareness! & very true about the people that act like we haven't considering trying everything under the sun already. I've been diagnosed for 13yrs now and still trying to figure it out.

When you first shared your journey, it honestly made me stop & think because I couldn't figure out why I would have such painful breakouts. I'm 33 with five kids so PCOS never crossed my mind. Then I started having other PCOS symptoms so I went to the gyno, had some test & an ultrasound done & sure enough PCOS. I'm still trying to figure out my skincare routine. I oil cleanse and then go in with the Cetaphil and I've seen a difference. Still a work in progress tho 🤗

I wanna say thank you for doing this! I’m a 20 year old male and I been dealing with acne ever since I hit puberty…I’ll be lying if I say my skin haven’t improved over the years…I’ll get a pimple here and there but my biggest struggle have been dark spots or “scarring” … I HATE IT SO MUCH It’s the one thing that’s stopping me from having that confidence I want or feeling sexy/good looking like I want

Yes! I hate when people tell me what I should and shouldn’t do with my skin when I know what works! Everyone’s skin is different.

I just freaking LOVE you bestieeee .. “we both can dang near be the same person but don’t mean what works for me, is gonna work for you” PERIODT!!

Peace, encouragement & wisdom to everyone on this journey. The external does NOT dull your internal light ❤️🙏🏾🔆

My sister had PCOS and she struggled mainly with body hair and bearing children. She managed the hair and ended up having a beautiful baby boy. I was so proud of her. She's sadly since passed - drug addiction is the 👿.

Every time I listen to this woman speak, my heart always feels so good after. Such a strong, beautiful, humble human being!! ❤❤

I love how she explains things. She knows how to speak for sure! Thank you for sharing Keke, looking forward to seeing your night routine! Skin care is definitely a marathon, not a race. Unless someone is genetically lucky, it takes time and effort to have nice skin.

Hi Keke. My name is Jasmine and I am a licensed esthetician. I watched your video in it's entirety and heard you say that you don't want unsolicited advice. I'm taking a risk by sending this message and I hope you don't see me providing unsolicited advice. Your story is similar to mine. I struggled with acne from 18 to 24. I saw a dermatologist who wasn't helpful and I literally had to research on my own how to heal my own skin. It was a journey, but I found products that worked for me and cleared my skin on my own. Flash forward, I left my corporate job and I believe thanks to Divine intervention was lead to esthetics school. My skin was "perfect" at the beginning of the program but then things changed and I started breaking out which left acne scars. I'm sure it was related to my hormones changing. I had to work very hard to figure out AGAIN how to make my skin healthy. After going through the same process that you are currently going through i.e. finding out what foods trigger me, what ingredients are best for my skin type, etc , I was able to get healthy skin again. I believe my skin journey which is turning into my life's purpose is happening the way it is because I'm an esthetician who actually understands what it is truly like to go through having acne and hyperpigmentation. The skin journey is one of the hardest journeys to go through because our society has placed so much emphasis on perfection that when you have breakouts and hyperpigmentation you can subconsciously feel inadequate and obsess over getting "perfect" skin. And I'm not saying you feel this way, just saying that someone can feel that way. After reaching the end of my journey, with some occasional hiccups, I realized there is a blessing underneath what shows up on the skin. What shows up externally let's us know what's going on internally and allows us to make the necessary changes to make our body, mind, and spirit more aligned. I say all this to say that I get what you are experiencing and I do have a few additional tips I would love to share with you to make your journey easier. I don't want you to think that I'm trying to get free promotion for my business so I won't provide my business page or contact info unless you solicit my advice. I wish you well on your journey and applaud you for being so brave to show up filter free and to share your journey with others.

It took me FOREVER to finally get the PCOS diagnosis and to finally know where to start with healing my skin. Doctors will prescribe everything in the book rather than helping you understand what is actually happening. It really is a journey. I’m so happy to see this transparency… I hid behind Snapchat filters and make up for the first year before actually managing it properly. I’m not even going to get into the unsolicited skin care advice from people who just didn’t understand it. “Use proactiv it’s the only thing that works for me”- but of course you didn’t ask and didn’t know I’ve tried every new kit from proactiv and it didn’t work for MY SKIN…

I didn’t have acne but I definitely understand. I had terrible sebhorreic dermatitis on my face for almost 10 years: spots, crusts, flaking, oozing, etc. It was brutally painful and ugly. One derm very rudely told me it was the worst she’d ever seen. The pain of having a disfiguring condition on your FACE that you cannot hide or control is something others will never understand. What sucks is after my seb derm finally cleared after 10 years of struggle - I immediately developed Melasma and have had that ever since. My heart goes out to everyone struggling with their skin. If I had a dollar for every time some idiot asked what was wrong with me, or gave stupid unsolicited advice, or acted like they were scared what I had was contagious, or said ‘you have something on your face’, I’d be able to buy a car, no joke. I adore Keke for coming out about her skin and sharing awareness. The fact that she still looked goddess-tier beautiful even with serious skin problems, it gives important perspective that our ‘faults’ don’t need to hold us back. Sending prayers for healing to all who are suffering with this!

I have PCOS and was diagnosed around 13-14 yrs old. I was put on birth control immediately after my diagnosis. It’s been 10 yrs and I stopped taking birth control a few months back. My acne came back FULL FORCE. Thank you for being so transparent with your PCOS. Even though we know we’re not alone, videos like this make us FEEL less alone. Definitely going to try these products and see if I have any luck with them. Thank you. 💛

“My skin would dieeee, if i did that” 😂😂 best part

Keke, oh my goodness. Thank you so much for making this video. You are definitely one of a kind for being so transparent. I’m an acne sufferer for 14 years, and even at 29, Im still seeing breakouts but not as bad. To know that we have “something in common”, lets me know I’m not in this alone. I cant thank you enough for even sharing this.

I have a coworker that has PCOS which has caused her extreme hair growth and acne. I've been researching to see how can I help and came across this video. It's good to know that it comes down to experimenting and getting to know your skin. Thank you for showing this.

Thank you for this.I swear sometimes I feel like I'm getting better and BAM!!! the next morning my cheeks are all flaired up.But I realised after a few years that products with salicylic acid help me quite a bit.Thats doesn't mean I still don't wake up with bumps on my face.Its exhausting.

The new Aveeno oat cleaner line is God sent! Also, what helped me tremendously on its own, is not using towels. Use paper towels instead. Good luck on your skincare journey!

I love this! I also suffer with hormonal acne that came up in my mid-twenties. I went to a dermatologist and she has really helped with just a few perscription products. She really did the Lord's work lol

I appreciate this video so much because I also struggle with PCOS. I’m 32 and it’s literally a journey that seems like it’ll never end just because their isn’t a cure for it. I try to manage it as best as I can. But my confidence has been so low because of it. Literally tried everything and all you can do is manage it the best you can. Thank you for this 💗

Who has watched this video more than 3 times 🙋🏽‍♀️😁I just love this testimony and demo from Keke .. thank you girl ❤

This is why Keke is one of the only celebrities I truly admire. Not only is she such a class act, but she really gets us man. She’s for the people. Never change girl❤️

Lmbo its the "lemme just do it again for yall sh*t" for me 🤣😂. Gotta love me some keke

At first I did kinda retreat when I saw the noxema and sea breeze, then I remembered how I started a 10 step combo Korean/western skincare routine with acid exfoliants (aha & bha), vitamin c, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil, green tea extract, Kojic acid, licorice root...everything. And it worked great for me and my skin had never been better...so you do you! Everyone has to figure out what works for them.

Thank you so much for this Keke. It’s so refreshing to see someone (particularly someone I look up to) with skin similar to mine. It’s definitely a struggle but this makes me feel less alone.

Love you and your transparency. I have been more confident going around without makeup and trying to cover up since watching your videos and seeing your pics. Thank you 🥰

This was so relaxing, you are always so pleasant to hear! You rock with everything you do, keep it up!

Thanks Keke! ♥️ your transparency helps Me and a lot of other people that TRULY know the acne struggle. No body else understands. So thank you!!

Keke thank you for this…. I have had to go through the same process of becoming self aware with my skin care and my diet. It’s nice to hear that I’m not alone! In doing this I too have become empowered and confident if not in my skin just the routine I’m building. I love you ya girl!

You have no idea how much I adore you because of your honesty and your Relatability it’s amazing

You're such a beautiful person inside and out. So humble and transparent and very relatable. I definitely subscribed and cant wait to see more of your videos!!

OMG! I loved your video! to see someone as famous as you talk about such a sensitive topic is everything! I hate it when people give me unsolicited advice or when they start criticizing the way I treat my skin or telling me that I have acne! Thank you very much for pointing it out but I do look at myself in the mirror every day! I also tried different things for my skin until I realized it was my diet and the fact that I did not work out that was somehow giving me acne! I still have bad weeks or months when it comes to my skin so I'm definitely gonna try some of what you mentioned! THANK YOU for showing it and explaining like it is :)

I love you honey you make people within the PCOS community feel so comfortable!!! I am on my journey as well! I love your energy keke you are amazing!!! I love your vibes🥰💗

Thank you for your transparency and sharing this 🙏🏼 working in an industry where there is so much focus on your looks and the first thing people tend to see is your face, acne is such a huge hit to the confidence. I’m an Indigenous actor in Canada and struggle with hormonal acne and it’s SO hard to feel fully committed to a character when you have a nagging in the back of your head about if your acne is distracting or obvious 😩 seeing someone so prominent and successful being transparent and vulnerable with their own acne story is really inspiring and comforting, and I hope more people if they do struggle with acne share their experiences in such a beautiful, transparent way. Thank you again for sharing- it means so much more than you could imagine! 💛🙏🏼

Love this!! I have really bad acne too!! Its nice to see a celebrity be so transparent about their skin! Someone i can relate to! Thank u keke!

I love your transparency!! You have helped me so much with speaking about my journey ❤️

Thank you so much for talking about the constant unsolictated advice and tips that come with having acne. I truly appreciate this from the bottom of my heart, it feels really nice to be seen and understood like this since i dont see many celebrities with constant skin stuggles talk how hard it is to actually struggle with skin issues that come from the inside, weather that be horomones, genetics, ect.

Regular ol’ Neosporin changed my life (yup) My linesister put me on when I had mask/stress breakouts and I’ve YET to turn back. My regime is below for someone wanting to try something new. This might be for you:): -Clean your face (I use either Cetaphil, Cerave or my regular ol body soap: Dr. Bronners) -Neosporin (light use in day, heavier use at night, also GREAT for breakouts….it’ll be gone in a couple of days) -Aloe vera gel (I tend to mix the neosporin with the aloe Vera and massage into my skin) -Drink lots of water -Minimal to no soda (Sprite is okay every blue moon, I drink a lot of cranberry juice,) -Minimal to no chocolate Background stuff: Extra stuff I use: -Sunscreen: urban skin RX (I don’t use it as much as I should but when I do, it’s my go-to) Vitamins I take: -One-a-days (2 per) -black seed oil vitamins (2 per) My type skin: very oily, problematic when stressed. I don’t really wear make up like that so I’m sure that helps me. Dealt with acne my whole life, 35 now. Extra things that helped me a lot was, like Keke said (1) Know thy skin!! Knowing parts of my face breakouts was key. Ex: Time of the month or stressed af=chin breakouts. So study your self, pay attn to WHEN you breakout…it’ll be easier to trace the ‘why’ verses guessing days down the road, (2) keep clean pillow cases, (3) keep hair out your face unless it’s clean, (4) it can and WILL clear up (get your mind right and everything else will fall into place 🤗) I’m not licensed in any of this but I lived and live it and I just wanted to share what’s worked for me. God bless! Hope this helps someone😌. -Peace (Shout out to Keke for the transparency. It is a sensitive topic but sharing our stories gives hope. You helped someone with your video more than just the regimen. Keep spreading great energy! Best to you😌🙏🏾)

That’s why I mess with you KEKE! 🙌🏾been struggling with acne and hyperpigmentation since middle school and it’s been very frustrating finding products that work! Still haven’t found out what works for my skin but going to start changing my diet and experimenting! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AUTHENTICITY! We still are perfect no matter how our skin looks! ❤️❤️❤️

I could really tell the difference in your skin after you rinsed the nozema . Thanks for sharing♥️‼️♥️

Thanks for being honest and taking us with you on this journey! I only started wearing spf 2 years ago. It does wonders for helping hyperpigmentation to fade!

Thanks for sharing your journey Keke. I am in my 50s now and have suffered with acne since elementary. I still have breakouts that leave dark spots. Over the years I too have found what works and what doesn't and found for ME.. that black dermatologist was best suitable for my skin treatments because he understood how certain products react to our skin/melanin skin and what dries out my skin and how sun still damages our skin as well. Black folk DO NEED SUNSCREEN!! I found that products with benzoyl peroxide made my dark spots worse vs using products with salicylic acid. Also, hot water is not good for our skin.. use warm to cold water is best. Not to use rough and hard cleansing routines on our skin..it makes it worse.. YOU CANT WASH ACNE AWAY,, SO DONT ABUSE YOUR FACE. 😊Also, for years I used Rx compounds with hydroquinone, 3-6%, to lighten my dark spots that as recently as 2 yrs ago, I feel has contributed to me having cataracts due to hydroquinone is a STEROID. So be very careful if using a form of hydroquinone near your eyes or only spot treat. Use with caution. Retina dried my skin out so much I had to discontinue that years ago. I took so many meds by mouth for years until I got tired.. I refused Accutane due to all the SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH SIDE EFFECTS.. So, you're so right..caring for acne is such a stressful nd continuous journey. Thanks for sharing.🥰🙏

Thank you so much for your transparency it's been a dreadful journey and it can beat down on the self esteem I am with you girl!

You're amazing Keke. That thing with people giving unwanted advice, it's the most annoying for me. I love your process 🌸

Great video! You could really see a difference just in the before and after using the mask! Been a fan since your Disney days! Love seeing how wise and encouraging you are!

You go girl!!!!! Most folks do not understand the relief that comes from elimination of your choices. Thanks for sharing.

Look at Keekz coming through with the uploads! 🤗 I also deal with hormonal acne and sensitive skin and it's so annoyinggg! 😑😫😒 Such a relatable gem. Love you!💓

Quote of the day is “my skin would die if I did that” 😩 I freakin love you Keke keep speaking nothing but Facts lol

Thank you for being so transparent. I can absolutely relate!💜

Thank you for this video!!! I feel SEEN! I’m gonna try out your regimen 😭. Thanks for sharing Keke!

This was so down to earth and thank you for your authenticity. Sharing your experience like this is so appreciated!!! Vogue beauty secrets wishesss sis

I love you Keke! I struggled with acne for a bit before Accutane and i always got unsolicited advice too. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

I love and appreciate how organic this is

Thank you for this video! I’ve been dealing with painful hormonal acne for years and I’ve tried so many suggestions from people that have not worked. You said it best! You have to find what works for your skin. Skincare is a personal journey! ❤️

I reject all unsolicited advice 👏🏾 I’ve had acne since I was 11… I’m 29. I’ve heard it all - tried it all. & it doesn’t work. Turmeric has helped tremendously. Lowering stress. No dairy. Never realized how bad a high fat diet could be so I’m going to look into that too.

Hey Keke!!! Definitely empathize with you. I've had cystic acne since I was 11 years old. Always self conscious, never took pics & didn't like to look people in the eye. Over time, I had to learn my triggers & find what works best for me. The main thing I discovered is due to genetics (dad had bad acne as a teen), I had to focus on my diet then built a skin care regime from there. We got this fellow sister.
