Maybe our skin is just saying it needs a BREAK. And all it needs is some gentle TLC💖 Tag me on Instagram updating me on your #SkincareDietChallenge @aboutliahyoo // You got this, and I love you! 🌴🌴🌴
Liah Yoo 리아유 i love you too liah🌴🌴🌴🌴
Liah Yoo 리아유 can u please give alternative products also with this routine .. glossy cleanser doesn't ship to India...
Liah Yoo 리아유 I love you so much thank you for everything
Liah Yoo 리아유 if you could please do a skincare video for those people who work at night and sleep during the day it would really be much appreciated 🙏🏻🙂
Liah Yoo 리아유
Please help me out. Do you know any vegan spf that is good which doesn't contain animal by products. A lot of skin care products include glycerol, glycerine and sulphate which are made from animals
A month ago I looked at my skin and I have had tiny forehead bump, flaky cheeks and oily skin. That day I said enough went cold Turkey cutting sugar and junk food. Started drinking 3 liters of water daily (sometimes just one or two but the goal is three) Started taking supplements, zinc, omega 3, vitamin b complex and vitamin d. Last but not least my routine was flawed, I was using a 7 step skincare routine (including products I've seen online but I haven't researched) so I listened to Liah and started a new four step routine; cleanser just in the evening (low ph cosrx) and if I feel super grimey in the morning I'll use Korres Greek yoghurt cleanser. As for serum.. I have many from the ordinary (bha 2%, retiniod, niacinamide) cosrx AHA, klairs vitamin c the innisfree green tea serum. as for lotion I have cosrx oil free lotion or innisfree balancing lotion if I want more hydration and I mix any of them with 3 drops hemp seed oil or grape seed oil. after that I use sunscreen I use jack black oil free sun guard (has zinc oxide) i rarely use toner but when I do it's right after cleaning and I use the Thayers toner.
I also cut cult masks like clay masks because they suffocated my skin.
My dear friends it took me 2 months and my skin feels amazing, no bump, no flakiness. And I look amazing I constantly get compliments on how fresh I look.
Oh and one last thing there is a website called skincare karma that will tell you if the ingredients are comidgenic (will break you out) also, do the patch test under your ear to check if the product will break you out.
love and great skin my friends.
COREYYYY!!! Thanks for sharing your journey, this is just amazing!! It's like looking at the correct guide of clearing acne. CHEERS!
Liah Yoo 리아유 my dear friend it's because of you and Renée. I'm super grateful. Recovery takes time, patch testing is important and if you won't change your diet you won't change your skin.. and if I learned to love kale and chia seeds everyone can.
Corey Everest do you use more than 3 serums?
Neysa Rahma Falimudya always 1. Or if it's something super drying like retinol I'll use buffet or innisfree juju free tea. I use aha 1 night bha 2 nights retinol 1 night and niacinamide 3 nights PM only during the morning I use vitamin c and buffet or innisfree juju.
Corey Everest thank you... glad to know
I started hardcore watching Liah around 2-3 months ago, and completely changed my skincare by eliminating anything that would dry my skin out more (i have extremely dehydrated, acne prone skin), I got my self some amazing the Ordinary products (and others with help of Sephora peeps), and I can 100% say that my skin has never been better. My acne scars are fading beautifully, and my acne os soooooo under control! Understanding what I goes into my skin has been a life changer , so thank you Liah for helping me understand my skin and motivating us to make healthy skin changes :)
do you mind sharing which the ordinary products you got? we have the same skin type so it'd be cool to hear what worked for you!!
lucy k Ofcourse! Okay here I go. from the Ordinary, I got the niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate 10%, the caffeine solution for my eyes and I just got the buffet and Im trying it out. The website says you should only use 3 of their products together at a time, so i am experimenting on how to best match them. Liah mentioned in her video about getting rid of acne scars that vitamin c shouldn't be mixed with niacinamide, but the magnesium ascorbyl was okay to use in conjunction with it (if you havent watched her the Ordinary review I highly recommend it, she talks more about this). I also got the AHA and BHA chemical exfoliant they have, and it works great. I use it once a week or every other week depending how my skin feels. Just know they are strong and while they are great at reducing scars and minimizing pores they are very potent and sting, AND ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN (I use the Cotz Flawless Complexion SPF 50 because its a physical suncreen, I am outside a lot and it goes great under makeup) because they cause photosensitivity. And just in general other products I love are the L'occitane comfort cremes as moisturizers, they are shea based light weight and suuuuper hydrating. I mix my moisturizers with either rose hip oil or marula oi l (the Ordinary has some good ones). Cleansers, I switch around depending how my skin is feeling I would go between an oil cleanser from L'occitane (specially for makeup) or the Movis bar from Lush (hydrating, gentle and great for asne scars). I also started doing the 7 skin method occasionally Gothamista and Liah have talked about with the Bioderma hydrating toner. And if you are curious about some occasional face masks the Hot Vegan from Pacifica is amazing at destressing and clarifying (and affordable), and the rose mask from Fresh is super hydrating and toning. This may seem like a lot (in a video about giving your skin a break lol) but I dont do ALL of these every day. I've also introduced these slowly and seen that they work. My usual routine is AM and PM cleanse (with water or actual cleanser),toner if i feel like i need it, the ordinary serums, oil, moisturizer and suncreen. Ofcourse this is just what works for me and I had slowly been giving my skin that "down time" Liah suggested before I got to her videos, but maybe some of these things might work for you!
PS. I recommend watching Gothamista as well, she as dehydrated skin type as well and has done some videos with Liah in the past.
Hope this helps!
+Naddya Alicea ahhh wow you're an angel for typing all of that!!! i tried to do a break like liah talks about in this video, but i had to stop after three weeks because it messed up my skin even more;; i don't really have bad acne (not sure if the little amount i have even qualifies as acne lol) but i alwayyyyyys get scars/hyperpigmentation, so it looks a lot worse than it actually is :^( i'll definitely check out all of your recommendations, and thank you so much for the help!!!!
No problem! I figured explaining what I got and how I use it would be more beneficial haha
Good luck!
Naddya!!! Love you love you so much!
honestly this fast scares me. The idea of not using any acne treatment or even a cleanser in the morning? but my skin is my biggest insecurity and you're the only one I trust to help me get my confidence again. So here I go
There's no harm in trying dear!! I mean, try it if you're not seeing results with the current acne treatment.
This is legit advice. After being hit by bouts of sudden adult hormonal acne, I discarded all my products and went natural. I have 2 cleansers (for double cleansing), 1 DIY toner, rosehip seed oil as moisturiser and a clay mask. After a year of this "diet", I'm now incorporating Tamanu oil for my scars and a sunscreen :) Minimal is the way to go !
That just reminded me to apply some tamanu tonight!! x
Liah Yoo 리아유 : Haha that's interesting because you're the reason I looked into Tamanu ! x
Can I ask what do you all mean by double cleansing? 😅 I’m a bit lost here
@@AngerComplex you remove your makeup and or sunscreen with an oil cleanser and then wash your face with a gel/foam cleanser
I just Love tamanu oil, the best for oily and acne skin
Im paying alot of attention to what i eat these days and been eating alot of detox juice and it helps so much! 물론 관리도 중요하지만 무엇을 먹는지도 너무 중요한것같아용~! 👍
OMG this is so true! When I got my skin breakouts, I just use 3 skincare products; gentle cleanser, pure aloevera gel with no alcohol/fragance, and sunscreen and it turns out sooo well! My skin is way so much better now!
What kind of aloe vera brand?
Hyouka Mocca I don’t think that the brand matters, you just got to pick the one that has 99% of aloe vera in it. It may be a little pricey but it’s worth it.
@@neversa2786 just don't trust the packaging with 99% aloe written on it! That was my mistake! I have the 99% The Saem one and it has a really high level of fragrance! T^^T I should have gone on skincarisma before buying it T^^T I checked the ingredients for a lot of famous korean brands and a lot of them with "99% aloe" written have alcool AND fragrance! So you really have to check the ingredients before buying it (pkease don't make my mistake)! So far the better one that I found was the Etude House one
Is exfoliating necessary if I stick to a minimal skincare routine?
Trying this won't be hurting at all as I don't have to buy any new products. This routine looks interesting as many things you've said are right (been on acne meds for years, trying many "miracle" products, etc) but nothing has satisfied me. Wish me luck ✌️
True! No extra money required haha!
Stefany Yvonne I think in combination of what Liah is saying and a look at your diet and drinking water will help. if you are older than 20 and having cystic acne, ask your doctor about spironlonactone. It's a medication written by off label targeting art cystic acne and worked for me within two weeks. It's suppresses androgen production with very little side effects and it is not an antibiotic. Hope this helps :)
Me too
You're the best youtuber on skincare related videos. Your videos are very VERY informative and I love it! As for myself, I am currently 17, turning 18 in a month and have been having trouble with acne :(. Recently, it just kind of explodes all over my face and I'm left with a lot of active acne right now. It's really really bad and since I'm fair-skinned, my face appears so so red. I have a lot of acne scars and active acne and by watching your videos, it just makes it more enjoyable! I've been constantly on a look out for ingredient list before purchasing skin care products nowadays haha. Love your videos!!
I don't know if this would hep but it's natural to go through severe acne during hormonal changes, and there's only so much skincare can do to tame this. You skin needs more rest and recovery when it's hormonal and make sure you treat your body well! Inside out xx
Liah: sleeping IS important for your skin
me: watching Liah's vid at 1 am 😅
Uh oh!!
This really works! I've actually been skincare fasting for almost a month now and my skin really loves it. I did this because I was feeling quite dehydrated so I thought I'd just let my skin breathe. When I would put on makeup, I just hated how flaky my skin was because I was using 10% benzoyl peroxide and my eyes were getting flaky too even though none of the product was applied on that area. After skincare fasting, my skin looks healthy and it's not being stripped of its oils either. No more flaky skin. One other thing that works is water. Water is super important for many parts of the body and you should be drinking it regularly. Staying hydrated really helps your skin and so does sleep. When you don't sleep, your body's cortisol levels get higher and that can cause acne. Try cutting out sugar, it is such a bad enemy to our bodies and studies have shown that it can be just as addictive as drugs so be careful. A great alternative is fruit since it has natural sugars. You should be cutting out junkfood as well and try getting in more protein, fiber, and healthy fats along with fruits and veggies of course. Getting all your vitamins in is important as well so learning a little bit more about nutrition could help a lot. Try this out, and your skin will love it too!
+Salma Carrillo Thanks for sharing your journey Salma!! I'm so happy your skin found the right balance. Also yes to holistic approach 💙💙💙Kudos for that! Hehe
Liah Yoo 리아유 awee thank you so much, if it wasn't for your videos I wouldn't have the skin I have now 💕💕
Can i use honey as a sweetener and an alternative for sugar or is it still bad?
Salma Carrillo are you still using cleanser when skincare fasting?and moisturizer?
"LESS IS MORE."
I definitely believe in that. I have been suffering from acne for 7 years now. I have tried every single product in the market targeted for acne-prone skin, but nothing really worked for me. I stopped using everything except facial cleanser. The cleanser leaves my skin really dry so I tried a new one and lo and behold, I finally found my HG facial cleanser. It stopped my acne from popping out! I paired it with argan oil and I swear, these two products helped my skin clear up.
Unfortunately, things went back to normal. I had clear skin for a couple of years. I thought my skin was okay to the point where I can introduce new products to my 2-step routine. I tried this whitening peel-off mask and it dried out my skin. The next day, I got a pimple and it didn't stop until both of my cheeks are covered with them. I also noticed that whenever I get an acne, they always come in pairs. I GET TWO FRESH ACNES EVERY SINGLE TIME. I kid you not.
I hate myself for thinking that once my skin clears up, then I can introduce a new product to my face. I just tried one product, ONE product and my skin went #%$^&.
As for the products I'm using now, the facial cleanser I have is super gentle. It has no: sls/sles, alcohol, fragrance, and other irritants. I also use aloe vera gel (The Face Shop/Nature Republic) every night as a sleeping mask. Again, I'm just using two products. I am thinking of purchasing a bottle of rosehip oil for I heard that it is suitable for acne-prone skin.
Watching Liah's videos definitely helped me in choosing the right products and what to avoid. I chose the cleanser I'm using based on Liah's guidelines on what to avoid in a product. My skin may not be good right now, but I am sure with Liah's video guidance, I can bring back my clear skin anytime soon. I just won't start introducing new products ever again. 😂😊
Jof111191 what cleanser do you use ?
Angela Sanusi I have two cleansers that I use, Himalaya Purifying Neem (green one) and one from a local brand (here in the Philippines) - Human Nature Acne Defense Facial Wash (this is the one I mentioned that has no sls/sles, alcohol, and other irritants).
Hey babe! Thanks for sharing your story!! I'm glad you know your skin better now :D x
Liah Yoo 리아유 Thanks to you!! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have this kind of mindset towards skincare if I never saw your videos. Keep doing what you're doing, Liah! You helped me and my skin tremendously!
Sending you all my love from the Philippines!! ❤😊
Alejandra Pérez i've been hearing a lot about castille soap as brush cleanser but i didn't know you can actually use it on your face. that's quite interesting! what's your skin type, btw? 😊
3 things that have cleared my skin:
1) Streamlining and simplifying my skincare regime (limiting actives)
2) Using nourishing oils for cleansing and moisturizing (hemp and argan)
3) Checking the comedogenic rating of all products I use on my face through Cosdna!
The only "acne treatment" I use is the p50 toner, which has BHA. I contribute most of my success with just nursing my skin barrier and cutting out the comedogenic products.
I hope this helps some of you!
I'm excited to try argan oil! Heard wonderful things. Thanks for sharing Annie!
Thank YOU for your awesome skin care channel! I've learned so much!
same, i only use Benton aloe bha toner every 2 days just to maintain and it kept my acne at bay!
@@LiahYoo argan oil cleared acne but after a month of use I started getting itchiness so I had to stop and acne came back even worse
I feel like this video is PERFECT with what I am dealing with right now. The harder I try with skincare the more acne I get! Worst my skin has ever been! Thanks for this video! :) x
Good luck!
😱😲😟Who disliked it? Cosmetic company saleswoman?
Oh haha you're so cute! that's alright :)
Shayri Garg lol good question. I was also curious then i tried to check if i can see who but i accidentally disliked the video a minute ago 🤣
Lol
zhamae I do it almost all the time!!! I always wants to know who likes the the video and who disliked it!😝
First of all, I wanted to say, thank you so so much for making this video. I've been attacking my skin so much I didn't realize it was suffocating. My skin had been really flaky, especially the cheeks. I have pimples ALWAYS even I'm not on my period. I've been following your tips from this video for almost a month and oh my God, my skin is clearing up and glowy! All I need to do now is treating the acne scars, but I think I'll stick to this routine until I am happy with my skin. I've been a skincare hoarder for a long time, I attack my face with the 10 steps korean skincare, the clay mask every week, numerous serums and essence, toner and everything else. I didn't change any of the product when I started the routine, but I minimize it. For daytime, I skip cleansing (only wash my face) I use only moisturizer and spf, at night I double cleanse, moisturize and facial oil if I feel it's a little bit dry. At first I felt really uncomfortable for not cleansing my face but I noticed my face is hydrated. For 3 weeks I slowly introduce essence to my skin and my skin is extremely happy with it. I've cut down deep fried food, everytime I wanted to have a snack I'll have some granola. Green tea has been my favorite and I have them in the morning before class. I tried to drink 3 litres of water everyday and surprisingly my skin feels so soft in the morning. My skin has been glowy and healthy, my makeup applies really easily. Thank you so much for this video! I am suffering from acne since high school and now I'm 22. My skin started to clear up for the first time! I am so darn happy! Thank you, Liah💕
God, thank you for sending Liah Yoo to this world. 😭❤
Do you mind doing a video about minimizing pores (on oily/combi & acne prone skin) and your top few CC creams recommendations please?
Haha I'll note that down! x
Liah Yoo 리아유 this is a more unusual skintype but i would love it if you could address skin which is dry but with large pores.
Craxie I love your picture baekhyun is my bias
Thank You!!! :D
That awkward moment when you've done the minimal skincare for years because broke and you're in your 20s 😂
Laura Saldierna i can relate to that 😂
Girl I feel you with those under the skin little bumps that never go away. I’m constantly bullied for my looks. This sucks!! By the way I think this will help you get rid of acne: www.AcneSun .xyz
@@monikas4236 Quaker Smith is a scammer I saw the same comment in many other videos
By far, this is the most effective skin care! She was mostly talking about self love and self care which is a great game changer to my skin care! I like that she promote simple yet hydrating products which I can easily find alternatives. Thanks Liah!
You've saved my face. Literally. I have the rotten luck of having acne prone skin and also suffering from atopic dermatitis; which means that 99% of the "very drying harsh exfoliating" acne treatments are out, unless I want my face to start cracking and bleeding. Then I came across a couple of your videos about healing acne with oils and the problem with skincare marketed "for acne" (I'm paraphrasing the title of the videos obviously) and the lightbulb went off in my head. I've been focusing for twoish months on just healing my face (with the appropriate non-irritating and non-comedogenic products) and surprise! Not only has the cystic acne gone down a lot, the dermatitis is mostly in check!
Thank you!
You're my hero
Liah Yoo 리아유 you're welcome? you've given me more confidence in terms of showing my face mostly makeup less to the public and I've shifted my focus from my skin to to other (more?) important things in my life... like the finals I should be studying for.
Also, my parents are really thankful I've stopped abusing their wallets trying to cure my acne lol.
Keep up the good work!
I am going to take this challenge! I am almost 18 and have been using around 9 steps a night. I feel that because I am still young and my skin is still able to regenerate quickly that I need to stop suppressing it and let it do its thing. I have oily/acne prone skin and I am excited to get started! Thanks Liah!
Thank you!! Good luck xx
You're a heaven sent to us people who are suffering from skincare problems for years. I learned a lot on your videos, esp about really taking care of the skin, that minimal skincare can actually improve the skin better, and the right products/ingredients suited for each skin type. Thank you for all these knowledge and tips. I appreciate every videos you do. 🤍
Hey liah, can you tell us your clean diet journey for the next video ? about the useful probiotics that can be incorporated into our daily
diet, I'm trying my best to avoid sodium and sugar, but it is hard 😫. Thank youuu 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
there will be more diet related videos !! and I'm researching more on nutritions :)
Liah Yoo 리아유 thank you liaaah!!!
YES! Please, please, please!
actually sodium does NOT affect your complexion!
I couldn't agree enough with this video. This is the ultimate skincare philosophy. I basically used feel that if a skincare product was out there on the market, they I needed it in my routine, regardless of what it did and whether I needed it. I was so frustrated when I stopped using all these products that my skin would improve drastically. I was always awful at constantly chasing the newest product and changing my skincare routine which caused horrible reactions. I've been following this type of routine since November with simple, basic, and gentle products with a minimalistic routine and I cannot begin to describe the change in my skin. Totally have to stress the final step - commit - as it look me 3 months to see actual change in my skin, and around 6 months for it to get to a place where it was actually getting to where I wanted to be and receiving compliments etc. My philosophy now comes down to respecting my skin. I am not smarter than my skin, it knows what it is doing. I can only do things to help nudge and assist it in the right direction. The next time someone compliments me on my skin and asks me what I've been using, I'm sending them to this video.
Claire!! Yes I 100% agree that we can never outsmart our body and our skin! Thanks for sharing! Love you xx
I'm going on a skin fasting mode from tomorrow onwards! I have been watching Liah's videos nonstop since two days lol :P I'm glad I came across your channel
I’ve started giving my skin a break! In the morning I use CeraVe hydrating cleanser, then TO squalane and The Beet Shield. In the evening I use jojoba oil for oil cleansing if I wear makeup, and then a dermatologist prescribed non foaming gel cleanser. Then I use the treatment she also gave me, mixed with DE b-hydra and a drop of squalane. I swear it’s making my skin improve so fast to just put a pause on the drying masks and spot treatments I was using constantly.
omg liah, you're an absolute lifesaver, thank you for this! ❤️❤️❤️
+froo - bangtan hope you find it helpful!
Liah Yoo 리아유 omg you replied, yes thank you so much!!!! 💕💕💕
froo - bangtan hello fellow army 👋🏻
Stephpfohlman heyyy!!!! ☺️
Honestly, you are one of the best influencer about skincare routines, tq so much about everything!
I heard a rumor that if you comment early on Liah's new video maybe she'll reply your comment
+Đức Quỳnh Trâm Võ I can clarify its not a rumor 😅😆🙌🏼
Yay OMG! Thank you for everything!
i love how holistic your advices are, both scientific, based on experience, and inspirational 💕 thank you liah
I'm actually trying this minimal skincare routine and I just started last week. I skipped morning cleansing and I feel like my skin got softer which is amazing and I think my skin is doing its job now to heal and recover by itself. Although I'm just left with acne scars and very few pimples on my chin and forehead.
that's amazing!! x keep it up hon hehe
brilliant! finally someone has come up with this on youtube officially. I am a doctor, in fact a cardiac surgeon n my daughter has been going through this phase of acne for a long time so much so that children started bullying her in school too n she started losing self confidence n I am always insisting on a good diet. on the other hand she is always trying out various things that have propped up on the net but to no rescue. recently I took over looking after her skin with good diet and skin treatments and there is not even a scar or any trace of pigmentation. I am happy she finally listened to me.
+Surpreet Chopra that's amazing! wishing her a clearer skin 💕
always on point unni>.< thumbs up up up!
+Daisy 데이지 Aww ❤️❤️❤️ miss you!
I just got to your channel recently but after watching one video i was immediately hooked and had a marathon on your channel in one night 😂 I love how you put so much efforts in researching what are best for the skin and the way you break it down in your videos is so informative and encouraging. You're like a kind sister next door to me and i really look forward to seeing your next videos. Please keep up the good work as well as stay healthy unnie 💓
Stay healthy babe!
my skin is oily and acme prone. Few months ago my forehead just covered with tiny acnes and nothing helps and they keep coming back. thanks to Liah eversince i saw ur video i only stick to just using moisturizer, toner and sunscreen and no acne treatment at all (used to use bha,acne spot gel and vitC). Surprisingly my skin got a looott better and my forehead acnes gone within few days!!
+mariah chung I LOVE YOU!!! Sharing this on my Instagram stories🌴💚
Liah Yoo 리아유 love you too!! Big hug and thanks to u for teaching how to know what ur skin needs and keep it simple! My skin is improving a lot !! xoxo ❤❤❤
maria tju haha that what my mom says.you skin was better when you had no idea about skincare
hi. can you share what moisturizer, and sunscreen that you r using. i found that we ve similar skin condition. :)
If only TH-cam had the love button like FB 😭💕. I'll accept the challenge ! It's so hard because I loveeeee applying toner, and essence and everything. It's fun, honestly. BUT once I started following your channel, I realized that a lot of products I was using were actually drying my skin and made my skin super over sensitive and dull. One of those 'look back at pictures and remember what was' moments. So, I'm still in the restoration phase. Thank you for how much time and effort you put into these videos, Liah ! Much appreciated
Aw
it worked on me, it takes like 2 months till everyone asking what product that I'm using. the key is hydration and be patient
Patience for sure!! Great job 💚💚💚
Anjung Rajendra what cleanser and moisturizer do you use?
gahhhh "don't cheat on it"
i will become a serious monogomist after my skincare fast LOL
HAHAHAHA!!!
girl i must say you got some serious balls!!. You d think all beauty bloggers would want to exaggerate the effect of local applications and skin care, making everyone feel like that HG product you're missing will change your life. (HINT: maybe changing your life will change your life) You re the only one out there who is honest , logically sound and just so refreshingly real to be honest! You have this great balance between scientific evidence, healthy lifestyle, and a healthy attitude! absolutely Love your videos and they keep getting better! luvvvvvvv from india!!
I'm super flattered Philothea! Thank you for believing in what I'm doing. I'm sure many people can benefit their own life with a much healthier approach!
Liah Yoo 리아유I'm sure you re helping thousands change their lives.:) You go girl!
extremely helpful like always ... I suffer from hormonal acne 😫 a nightmare
+Pamela&Steven En China You got this! Treat it internally xx
Liah Yoo 리아유 what supplement do you recommand ?
kidi Hi! Try taking Zinc supplements :)
hi what kind of zinc?
Zinc picolinate
It must be destiny 🌴🌴🌴. I started doing this like a week or two before you made this video because MY SKIN WAS JUST NOT GETTING ANY BETTER! The rationale totally makes sense; honestly my boyfriend made me jealous of his perfect skin and he don't do diddly-squat to it. So I figured of everything I've tried, almost nothing was something I hadn't. I was doing just coconut oil at night (literally, just cleansing with coconut oil and rinsing it off) and toner and moisturizer in the morning with an AHA every now and then (Blithe splash mask) and I could see a significant increase in the texture and quality of my skin even though there were still a few blemishes, covering them only with a hydrating concealer. After only doing this for a few weeks my skin looks so much healthier and less parched, not exaggerating the texture I had (and still kind of do) on my cheeks. Thank you for being such a delightful and honest content creator on this site, I think you nailed this 100% and to everyone else out there considering this sort of approach: Liah's right, there's no miracle in a jar, and be patient!🌴!🌴!🌴! I think after doing this for another few weeks, maybe even another month, I'll have a better idea of what skin type I actually have. 'Cause so far coconut oil doesn't seem to be bothering me-with-oily-skin-or-so-I-thought-but-this-could-also-be-because-coconut-oil-is-magic. *shrug*
Hi Anna! I'm glad the coconut oil is working for you!!! It's an oil with a lot of benefits without a doubt :) I'm happy your skin is loving your skin-respecting approach. Keep it up and keep me posted!!! x
liah please do a review on aloe vera gels 😶
This video could not have come at a better time! I'm so fed up with my skin that I've practically given up hope. Super excited to try this challenge !!
You got this!!
This is so truuueeeee.
Me having to battle with acne since I was 12 years old until now 20 years old. I get very very frustrating and so desperate to find the best solution for my acne and acne pittef scars and hyperpigmentations and uneven skintone. I consulted a dermatologist and gone up with Benzol Peroxide, Retinols, Clindamacyin, and such harsh ingredients plus they're quite expensive .. For about 3-5 months everything is good my skin cleared up so I thought it was about time to stop those harsh ingredients and boom! After many trial and errors again and again.. Nothing really seemed to work for my skin anymore. So I #PressResetChallenge and my skin never felt so good like this before, My skin is oily-dehydrated and dry at some area, so I cut the toners, the essence, the creams,
I only go with mild or gentle cleansers, Serum (I don't have any moisturizer yet) and that's it (+sunscreen at AM) although I do get cystic/hormonal acne.. My face doesn't get fired up. And they seem to heal faster
Yeah I don't do spot treatment anymore. I figured it's about time that my skin should get the TLC it craves for
just wanna say I have never had as many results with my skin until i found your channel! thank you so much!!
You're the best!! x
Aww 😍 no you are hehe 😃
I couldn't focus on what you say because of the watermelon pillow behind u 😂😂😂😂 I need it!!!!

I have been skipping morning cleanse for years (extremely sensitive and fragile skin), and I've also banned any irritants (alcohol, perfume, aggressive acids, essential oils and any problematic ingredients), I'm really trying to treat my skin as gently as possible (I have a compromised barrier - no natural skin immunity because of a corticosteroid treatment, so I'm trying to restore the skin's normal function). I really enjoy your videos and your approach, so keep up the good work!
Restoring the skin barrier is the key to a healthier skin for sure!! thank you hon!
I should've watch this video before i bought products to start a 10 step korea routine:(
yayadrew me too honestly! but its okay, you can do the skincare diet later. gotta finish those bottles first! haha
girlllll what a calming soothing voice you have.you should be the voice of audio book
I have been suffering from acne since I was 11 or 12 (currently 16). I have been on HOMEOPATHIC treatment since an year after I started getting acne. I had severe acne and there is a huge improvement in my skin. But it isn't totally gone. And last year I got to know that I have PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder). *facepalm*
My dermatologist said that I really need to take care of my body as well and keep my weight under control or its gonna make the PCOD worse. So I was like 'I need to do dis! Bish time to start taking better care of my body!' (buy was low-key crying internally coz now I had 1 more problem to deal with).
I started drinking more water (warm water not cold; it is recommended in Ayurveda; even in summers; sometimes normal water is alright but never cold), a mug full of green tea, stopped overeating, removed sugar and milk from my diet, eat very less to no rice (I eat 2 Roti made of wheat instead), no bread. Never really ate junk food. And just by doing this I lost 4kg weight in 2 weeks.. wow. That was actually pretty easy.
Liah unnie always says treat yourself internally (even in the comments lol). And really I am seeing results. I've been following her advices and _I just wanna hug her and cry and say thanks_ cause they work. I'm basically getting free treatment. THANK YOU UNNIE!!
K-beauty and skincare in general is fun and it works.^^
Anusha San thts wonderfull, glad to know tht it works. Im gonna check my hormone next week to see if there is an imbalance
Aw poor thing!! At least you learned how to take care of your body in early age! It's a blessing x
binomialnomenklatur Hope everything comes out to be normal for you :)
Liah Yoo 리아유 Yup! Thanks :D
Anusha San i have pcos too 😭 whats your skincare routine?
your skin is so beautiful im crying
thank you for this video!~ great advice ♡♡
+J Horseu Thank you!
I remember when I had to stop my skincare routine, because I could not afford it. I was washing my face in the shower and just using my body moisturizer. My skin felt so much calmer and balanced, the itchiness stopped and the breakouts were so reduced they did not leave any scarring. I was so suprised. Then I saw a skincare update of another youtubber, she had done the same after so many harsh acne routines. She stopped using "acne products" and "oil-free" anything and her skin was much improved. I happy to see others like you and Gothamista, taking skincare seriously and thinking about what it really needs. Great video XD.
Thank you love
I have a question! So, my skin does look happy. It's glowing! But I still have acne pretty much everywhere on my face. I think it's a digestive problem since I'm 'intolerant' to pretty much anything under the sun. Any suggestions?
Vanilla Spice hey! I have digestive problems too. I definitely recommend probiotics and anti oxidant vitamins like vitamin C. I use Yakult probiotic drinks and have a chewy vitamin c once a day before I eat or drink anything else. Also drinking water on a daily basis helps too. I also recommend eating foods that help with your gut like rice and vegetables. Good luck! It gets better I promise.
Thank you so much! I'll definitely try that.
Dear Liah, I have been following your channel for a while, I love your videos and your aproach to skincare.
I thought this challenge was a great idea but I was honestly scared to strip down my routine to the basics until...
I watched some of your videos again and conected the dots: I am putting too many things on my face, my lipid barrier is damaged and I need to stop! I have only been doing the Skincare Diet Challange for about 5 days but omg I can already see and feel an improvement with my skin! i am trying to be very strict and not adding anything extra for two weeks.
I was overdoing it with AHA and BHA with the hopes to speed up the purge period (bad idea) and my skin would just burn when I used my regular products, my face was inflamed and congested, it has horrible. I am so glad I started this challenge and I have you to thank for my skin transformation! I wish I had taken "before" pics to share with people, but I was too ashamed by my skin condition.
Thanks Nina for joining the challenge!! Nothing makes me happier than hearing my subscribers' results :) Glad you're now paying more attention to what your skin is saying. good luck
클렌저에 대해 질문드릴게 있어요ㅠㅠ 저는 리아유님 추천 클렌저인 코스알엑스 모닝클렌저를 써봤는데 폴리소르베이트 20때문인지 피부가 아주 예민할 때는 자꾸 면포가 올라왔어요.. 폴리소르베이트20이 피부에 상처가 있으면 그 부분에 문제를 일으킬 수 있다고 하더라구요ㅠ 근데 글로시에 클렌저는 제가 우유 알레르기라 쓸 수 가 없어요ㅠ 혹시 가능하시다면 그 두 제품을 제외한 추천템을 알려주실 수 있을까요?? 영상으로도 좋고 코멘트로도 좋아요! 리아유님 컨텐츠 항상 잘 보고 있어요👍👍 유용한 컨텐츠 감사합니다😁
All you said are true!!
Since I'm involving with Kbeauty, I learn a lot and my skin improved so much. The best thing is my skin turn from combo into normal, no more acne appear unless hormonal zits like once a month. I am very satisfy!!!
Do you refrigerate your Rose Hip seed oil?
I read somewhere you really should as it oxidizes quickly, but then I read elsewhere that refrigeration changes the composition of it so you should take it out and let it go back to room temperature FIRST before using it which seems like WAY too much work.
I just store mine avoiding direct sunlight in a cool place! x
Skincare fasting has really worked for me. I was breaking out and my skin was irritated and bumpy from all the new products I was putting on my face. I put my skin on a “detox” by using just these minimal steps and while I still get the occasional pimple it’s not like before where a new red mark or acne comes up everyday
How do you get rid off acne thats under the skin? I've had small bumps for a long time that just wont go anywhere
I am struggling with this. Deep acne with no white head, but is a bump red and comes back again and again. Or it just doesnt go away!
Maybe its fungal acne?
Omg Liah where have you been all my life (or just the last four years)... THANK YOU and so excited for this challenge!!!
Hahaha I've been here
I literally tried everything, even doing this but nothing helped whatsoever.. Still had acne. Only 3 months ago I started Accutane and that is what has pretty much ALREADY cleared my skin almost completely. As soon as I started from day 1 I saw a difference. I think this only would work for people who don't have severe acne.. Otherwise I think medication is the best way to clear it.
Bethan Williams are you completely healthy? the problem could be internal
After 1 month with minimal skincare routine, i understood at 30 that my skin is naturally dry and needs a lot of hydration. And that my acne is hormonal. So i have to be gentle with my skin and myself 😊
thanks for your advice. My skin is so dry and dull. but acne prone too. i think i should try this 😁
Good luck Arina!
After a visit to a dermatologist for my acne I tried this method and it helped SO much. Less is def more! The dermatologist wanted me to take meds (antibiotics and roaccutane). I'm so glad i didn't listen to her and just used a cream cleanser, some rosewater and that was it..
Liah, what about milias??? :---(
Need to study that more but I often hear AHA/BHA would help those
I once heard that millia around the eyes is also caused by a too heavy eye cream so maybe skipping that could help and maybe cottonsheet mask with bha toner could also help
Sophia Enriquez Aloe vera works really well in getting rid of milia.
Liah Yoo 리아유 Huskiro Jennie Thank you so much! I'll definitely try those!! :)
Happy Bubble well I read that too so at one point I stopped using eye cream but it didn't help my milia my skin around the eyes just got dry. Now I use a lightweight gel and my eyes are less dehydrated, I still have millia (I basically had millia my whole life) but I feel like it stands out less if that makes sense
Thank you so much for these videos! My skin was so red and bumpy and irritated and I had no idea why- then I watched this video and followed your advice and my skin seems so much more happy!!!
+Aubree Miletich I'm so happy to hear this!!! Keep listening to your skin Aubree 💕
I'm on Accutane right know, second month. Hope it will get better. If not, I don't know what to do. I have seriously tried everything. I watched your "How to treat acne naturally", and you said that chia, oat and kale was good for acne. The next day I bought everything and tried. But it didn't work for me. :(
Are cushions and CC creams good for acne, or will it get worse? I'm using Missha Magic Cushion and Lumene CC cream. If it is not good, what can I use to cover my acne?
Emma Rose I'm totally out on this subject but i just wanted to tell you good luck on your journey. I hope you will get a perfect skin. Have a nice day ^^
Paul Thank you so much!!! ❤❤
Emma Rose hang on, wish you the best for the journey. Im on my medication too
binomialnomenklatur Thank you so much! I wish you the same 😊💕
Im suffering for severe acne for more than a year, I tried everything and nothing worked, I was so desperate and sad until:
-I cut gluten. I start to see difference in a month
-stop using harsh exfoliation and spot treatment
-only use cleanser, rosehip oil and spf
-do a facial mask with a moisturizer whenever I can
-try to sleep more, becuase my skin is happier and heal faster
I still have acne but this routine works the best until now.. I hope it help someone, dont give up, simplify and listen to your body :)
Awesome that you saw results going gluten free! x
Make way for the 46th president of USA,president yoo...!!
Joo lia, me alegro de haber encontrado tu canal por casualidad. Gracias a tus consejos, mi piel mejoró con ideas tan simples como aplicarme más aceite. Lavarme la cara solo con agua.
Estas haciendo un excelente trabajo con tu canal, no solo por la información que nos das sino por los valores que nos inculcas. 'tender loving care'. Gracias por todo lia, eres una mujer increíble :)
Thanks Liah. Maybe refrain from citing trump, it kind of spoiled the ending of this great video.
npark3 ew trump
This is so very inspiring Liah! I'll prep myself to take up this challenge soon😍
It's like an epiphanic moment and a break from my obsession over buying tons of skincare and irritate my oily acne prone skin
Haha epiphanic moment! I'm super flattered!!
totally agree with you! 👌👌👌
pause normal skincare and use minimally skincare routine which make my skin better now, i just use vit c and sunblock for sunny days and just vit c for night routine, and i just wash my face with garnier matcha, its really really works, i never in love with face wash until i meet that thing. but for daily food, i don't consume egg at all (just for some food with egg ingredients) and minimally milk and cheese consume, don't forget to drink water, and also love your skin! healing from mentally much better than physically.
so I found this video and I must say my face break out A LOT. starting now I'm committing to this challenge. I admit, I'm using an a cleanser that says it treats acne but I see no progress. I recently bought a new one but after watching this video I promised myself to stay away for a month! thank you so much for this. I hope it will work well for me this time.
Gerlei Falayas pls update me if your skin improved.. Caus wi wanna try this as well
One of the biggest misconception surrounding acne is that people thought it can simply "go away" with strong/harsh (and huge amount of) topical treatments. This vid is proving them WRONG!!!
Yes, yes!
I did a skin care purge around Jan or Feb of this year. I had been dealing with a lot breakouts and just unhappy skin. I started using a lot of acne products and harsher stuff hoping they would help but I felt like they were doing more harm than anything. So I stopped using them, and cut out physical exfoliation, astringent, foaming cleanser and started using gentle products. My skin has made a complete change for the better.
YES!! Loved hearing your journey, Vikki!! x
Thanks a lot for your very informative videos! My skin is horrible at the moment. I had a very stressful week with very few sleep time and a lot of junk food (additionally, I just got my period) and my skin is definitely letting me know that I shouldn't go on like this. I was stressing out over my appearance the last few days but your kind messages have made me feel a lot more self-assured.
I've cut everything from my routine except a gentle cleanser and SPF since last month, my skin is getting there but not quite yet. I'll definitely try putting a moisturizer + an oil in the mix. Thank you so much for all your advice, Liah, i really trust you 🌴🌴
Thanks Sherafina :D x
I've been suffering from hormonal acne for about a year and I've tried SO many products and nothing, as I live in Canada the cold would get my skin even drier and I just thought that I had dry skin. As I was watching your videos, I decided to use less products and see what would happen, I would use one cleanser in the morning an essense a moisturizer and of course sunscreen, at night double cleanse, and I would mix mix my oil with my moisturizer.( I used to do the 10 skin care routine everyday day and night!!!) That's all. SO let me tell you how I discovered that my skin was just a dehydrated oily skin ... yup. My Skin feels super moisturized and hydrated now, my acne has tremendously reduced which is amazing. I will probably change my oil to one that will fade my acne scars really soon, but other than that this is is just perfect. Thank you Liah.
Aw Aya, you're beautiful. I'm so so happy to hear that you're treating your skin better and your skin is rewarding you for it xx
I have acne for several years already because I put on wrong product on my face and my skin went crazy. But, I've following your videos and try to change my routine and I saw result on my skin. Although it's not immediate but there's improvement. And it's all thanks to you. You really did help me a lot! ✨✨
Whoaa!! thanks for sharing!! Wishing you a healthier skin :D
Thank you for advocating a pull-away from excessive skincare products! I feel like the old makeup obsession and hoarding "trend" has shifted over to skincare, and it's so stressful seeing others mindlessly piling on products hoping to have a share in the hype. Where possible, I try REALLY hard to not let my skin be dependent on any product/ingredient. Becoming a slave to skincare is actually a thing in the beauty community these days!
I've been hoarding skincare products for sure :( until I realized I was abusing my skin!
Liah Yoo 리아유 It's definitely hard, esp when others are touting products as miracles and you want that miracle on your skin too (while ignoring the voice that is telling you that your skin doesn't need it right now)!
its been a week (only!) since i cut out washing my face 3 days per day and then rubbing it with azelaic acid cream and some benzoyl peroxide cream on pimples, i quit all them scrubbing masks. Now i clean it once a day, hydrate with hyaluronic and hydrating cream and oh god! Discolored spots have been gone, they have been there for months and now in weeks they're gone!!!!!!!!!! 🙈 Also my forehead was so oily and now it even doesnt shine :o I don't have new acne and old one is almost completely gone. This diet was all i needed, i was totally obsessed touching and pricking my skin and wiping with cloths, now that i understand how and why it works, it is a whole new face! Thank You endlessly 😍
Wow!! Congratulations 💚
Your soft voice & kind face & knowledge are truly remarkable 👍🏻I'm 46 but & think you still speak for my age group too. I'm really loving your videos 🌸🌸🌸
+Jane Burke Aw thank you so so much Jane! Have a wonderful day :)
I have been subscribed to you for a long time now but fail to really focus on your videos.. should have known better then I would have been guided well..
Suffering acne since puberty hit me then last year, I noted skin has improved after derma care (but that took long months since I am not a regular plus I dont have legit skincare routine that time). When I noted improved skin that's when I decided to introduce skincare products on my skin..and three months later, everything came back...😥
So now I am struggling with acne again but haven't come back to derma. Watching this is really informative.. Thank you! I have already started with gentle cleanser and aloe vera but still using other skincare products.. Will follow through this minimalistic skincare approach. Thanks Liah!
For all of you hormonal acne sufferers, I highly highly recommend Evening Primrose as an internal supplement! Right along with Maca Root powder as a second choice (doesn't taste that great, though..).
I think telling people to stop their acne medication without having a medical advice or without giving notice to their dermatologists first isn't the best idea tho.... I mean I do think we should all have a minimalist skincare routine too but I don't think it's a good idea for people who are on like Accutane to stop when they feel like it and get back to it if ever this type of routine doesn't work, if that make sense.... >< It might be obvious to ask for advice first but we never know right :) (that was just my opinion as a pharmacist student so I might not be knowledgable enough yet :) ) Been loving your videos and I really think you're one of the best youtubers on the skincare topic hehe, can't wait to see what you have for us next! Cheers! ❤❤❤
Yes that's true! At the end of the day, I think everyone should take any advice as a grain of salt and this shouldn't be a replacement to a professional medical advice. (refer to my disclaimer!) This video was intended to give another option for those who feel like nothing is working for them and see how their skin works without any strong meds/treatments.
Yesss!! This appeals to my acne prone skin and my current state of being broke. Love ya girl 😘
+Lil Redridingrude love you too Lil!
I really hope your channel grow bigger each day because you are the one and only TH-camr who put a lot of efforts in making sure people understand what really matters in skincare. .Thank you soo much for debunking all this for us!
*oh,and I think you should know your skin look soo fluffy like mochi 😍
Mochi omg! Thank you!
Love this on account that I have simply never bought into the 10 step routine. I know a lot of people love it but no one has ever given me a reasonable explanation on how certain products work and here things like essences are getting marketed as either toners or less potent serums, plus the lack of adequate scientific research behind this makes me a skeptic. Plus the family members with great skin pretty much just wash and moisturize and instead eat very healthy and go to the gym. Except my mom and sister who are forever poreless for reasons I do not know. Like my sister legit has slept with makeup on yet not a pimple. In fact, when her skin sucks it's heat rash! She clearly got my mom's good skin.
thanks rimu!!! but exercising and eating healthy is a good thing! Don't think of it as a chore! xx
Skin hydration is literally life.
yep, i did this over 3 months ago and my akin is looking more healthy. this really will help. i also started taking an evening primrose supplement and it has really helped.
hey!!! that is definitely an issue. I have really really dry skin that still gets oily on the T-zone. I used to over moisturize using tons of oil on a daily basis, glycerin, moisturizer cremes and hyaluronic acid!!!!! and it just did not get better. So I decided to stop doing anything but a little hyaluronic acid in the evening and since then my skin got a lot better and is not nearly as dry as it used to be!!!! ❤
I'm glad you found your own regime!! x
I used to wash my face twice a day, with a cleanser, a toner and some acne cream treatment. My face was oily and at the same time it looked damaged because of all those products and my acne was still there.
One or two weeks ago I found your channel and I decided to listen to you because I had the same skin care for over a year and my skin was getting worse.
Now I only wash my face at nights (and I’m gentle while applying the cleanser) I moisturize it and apply suncream protection and at nights I put on some vitamin C to make my scars fade away. It’s only been a freaking week and my skin looks better, of course I have acne but it’s getting better and my scars are fading.
I also changed a few thing in my routine, just in case someone wants to know:
-I wash my pillowcase every week.
-I wash my hands before I clean my face or apply any products on it.
-I don’t touch my face/let other people do it.
-And I don’t let my hair touch my face, especially when it’s oily.
I’ll keep you guys updated! But yeah, it’s been a week and my skin is getting better, if you want advice, quit those acne treatments and focus more on mosturizing and protecting your skin from the sun.
+sara I love this!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. You rock xx
Liah Yoo 리아유 I’m the one who has to say thank you, my acne is almost gone I couldn’t be happier ❤️
Oh my god i really love the way you explain everything and our skin needs to rest to. Ive been obsessed to buy anti acne products and oily control products before. And good to know that before i watch your videos i stop to used more products on my face just cleanse with facial foam with moiturizing. But the sad thibg is i have breakouts now due to my blackheads that i didnt prick it carefully😭
About four months ago I gave up using a cleanser. I had really bad oily skin and now my skin is normal. During the day I use Cerave moisturizer spf with some safflower oil. At night I use the Cerave moisturizer with rose hip oil. To cleanse I just splash my face with lukewarm water and once a week I use a konjac sponge to exfoliate. My skin has never looked better. Such a simple routine. My derm freaked out when I said I wasn't using a cleanser so I decided to use a really gentle one at night. One by one the pimples starting coming back. I stopped using a cleanser and they went away again. I don't use any foundation or concealer products but I do wear eye makeup.
+Jessica Therrien Yeah.. Your derm might have been shocked! But cleanser can directly affect the skin barrier, that's why it's so so crucial to opt for a non foaming gel cleanser
I don't deal with acne, but have very sensitive skin and am trying to simplify my routine. I still try out more products than I should because I actually haven't found a BASIC skincare routine that I'm happy with. I have cleansers and hydrating toners and serums I enjoy, it's mainly finding a nourishing, non-irritating, non-congesting moisturizer that's difficult.
Tender loving care✨
The road to minimalism 😊🍀
Love that!
