Skincare Mistakes NOT to Make In Your 20s Part 2  

I love this do you know why you’re feeding the knowledge to the youth out there and explains why a 15 year old looks older than me and I’m almost 30 and I looked still 19.

Neglectful vs helicopter parent analogy would fit real nice over here!

Thank you!!! I wish these kinda of infos were widely available when i was younger. It'll save me a lot of money, heartache and frustration. Wear ur sunscreen kids. Take it from a 46 years old ahjumma with sunspots, that my nieces calls leopard spots.

I'm 20 and went absolutely crazy at 13 when I discovered skincare. I'm talking salicylic acid, kojic acid, alpha arbutin, vitamin C and lactic acid all in the same routine, twice a day, everyday till I was 17. ON MY DRY AF SKIN!! No sunscreen because my younger self didn't like the texture and feel of it on my skin like grease on sandpaper. It was expensive and my skin looked very mid for the "intricate routine" my dumb younger self thought I was doing. I looked older in the sense that my face was very textured and my skin was dull and not at all bouncy. I had some sun damage from soccer since I was outdoors a lot during the day. I'm 20 now and for the last 3 years, I've just been doing a gentle cleanser, cica toner, vitamin C serum, cetaphil moisturiser, sunscreen during AM and tretinoin during PM for acne and scarring. I look younger now than I did at 14 in the sense that my skin is bouncier, has a nice glow to it and most importantly, is healthy. No more constant redness, irritation and texture issues and my sun damage is gone for the most part!

When do you know you are overdoing it? I am 27 and am using a few actives in my routine, but always use only 1 at the same time, so only 1 active in the morning and evening etc

If you can’t do anything in moderation, don’t do it at all. Love this and it’s so true

I love your videos so much! You have helped me out a lot with my skincare routine and my skin is finally happy because i was most definitely over doing it before. TYSM

wish someone told me this when i was 23 :'(( its been few years and ive learn that sometime less is more and i dont have to buy everything. but i love how im now 29 but some people still thinking im in my early 20s or still in college

I needed this 6 months ago

I feel like I have been overdoing it. Can I recover from this after years of doing this

Thank you so much. I love your advice about balance. Can you please give more input on Fraxel? Currently, It's more marketed and I'm scared to just jump into a Fraxel treatment.

My skin was fine - I used AHA and BHA shortly, but now my skin is so bad - and it has been three months - any tips?

I am 26 years old, and have combination skin (dry now because of the weather) and acne scars on my cheeks. I use a Vitamin C toner > niacinamide 5% > a glycerin moisturiser > tretinoin 0.05% (at night) and sometimes the same everything + sunscreen during the day. My skin feels and looks better, however gets a little flaky because of the dry weather, and burns a little bit while applying the toner and niacinamide. Is what I'm using correct? I'd appreciate your input because I started making an effort on skincare after watching your videos

At night I do double cleansing and use rice serum and snail mucin followed by a thin layer of cerave healing ointment. In the mornings I just wash my face and put rice serum and sunscreen.
