When I did something similar I ended up with contact dermatitis. It was so fine up until my skin tapped out 😩 after that my skin was so sensitive I kept getting contact dermatitis back to back. After my third trip to urgent care I was told I couldn’t use anything but Vaseline. I had to build up my skin barrier cause I messed it up doing too much exfoliating while using active ingredients
That destroys any skin barrier.Too much exfoliation for wantingva healthy skin.It doesnt matter what she eats,she destroyed her skin barrier in 7 days Dont copy that!
That was ALOTTT of exfoliation. Most people will have a destroyed skin barrier from using half of the exfoliation in the routine but she has beautiful skin thats very robust but my skin hurt just looking at the nighttime routine🙅🏽♀️. Btw benzoyl peroxide (leave on) will oxidize (deactive) vitamin C and benzoyl peroxide. They should not be used at the same time routine. Love the video chat and the great advice😄
When I was having issues with acne, I did a 40-day juice cleanse. I did daily enemas at home and kept skincare to a minimum. After the juice cleanse, I eliminated dairy from my diet. That was 12 years ago and I haven’t had issues with acne since. I’m currently using Tret and it has taught me that less is more when it comes to actives.
When you did a juice cleanse did you only drink juices ? I drink smoothies in the morning that I make but ik lately I’ve been goin too hard with the carbs/sugar.
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 I did juice and distilled water only. However, when I’ve done them in the former years I incorporated smoothies if I’m not focused on giving my digestive system a complete rest.
I’m convinced the same way that people are haircare product junkies, we have skincare product junkies. Most people just need a good cleanser, one or two effective treatments, moisturizer and sunscreen. The skin is an organ- got to be gentle with it and make sure we’re prioritizing health over the look of the skin. I recommend following dermatologist and estheticians on social media if you don’t have access to visit one, and enjoy the diamond type routines as entertainment content (cuz her skin did look good- at that specific moment of time), and not educational.
I'm hurting cuz she said her final step during the day is her moisturizer....CHIIIIIIIIILE.....If we do t start grabbing sunscreen like we grab coconutbutter for our elbows! 🧐
I feel like the biggest difference between these "how I cleared my acne" videos and youtubers who specialize in skincare is that the skincare youtubers are much more interested in providing suggestions and information rather than "solutions". With all due respect to Ms Diamond, I can't use any of her advice (literally none of it lol), but she delivers it with so much certainty that I can feel my lizard-brain taking notice. This is my experience with in-person acquaintances giving skincare "advice" as well - lots of conviction where it's...probably not warranted. That was a lot of effort to say "acne-clearing-videos are still incredibly wild to watch" 😂
Haha I agree! We were just talking about that in another comment thread on this video. People just want you to tell them products to use, but they don't understand that isn't a good approach. I know people be too through with. me when I don't directly answer questions like "what's a good sunscreen?" lol
Thanks for having Marie on to react to this video as well. Over exfoliation nation is big. It may work for some but my skin would be so sensitive and inflamed after all of that. There are multiple things that plays a part in how your skin is which includes genes, lifestyle, environment, stress, diet, skincare, hormones just to name a few.
Chal, I’d definitely agree that if she had cystic and deeper acne like I did. She couldn’t pull none of that. Even the Target treatment alone a few times a week would have me DRY!
Marie actually helped clear my oldest sister’s skin so I know she’s legit! 👍 however what she’s saying doesn’t actually apply to everyone because every skin reacts differently. I can’t use raw Shea butter on my face but in a formulation like Cetaphil’s night redness relieving moisturizer I don’t break out. Some of the oils that work for my skin are Argan, grapeseed, hemp, safflower,sunflower, sea buckthorn seed oil and meadowfoam! and oil cleansing has really helped heal my acne! I also use a silicone face brush occasionally as well but never when I have active pimples. I mostly deal with whiteheads and salicylic acid works wonders! But I’ve switched off to mandelic and I’m loving the results more! This girls routine definitely shocked me! 🥴 If I tried that I don’t think I would have skin left to exfoliate
The only thing I would add (from my Personal observation/experience/research) is to try to avoid and/or reduce SUGAR and too many simple processed carbs in order to avoid acne flair ups.♥️
What I love is you consult the experts and give them their respect instead of charging in claiming you know best. This is awesome especially for our community.
Another tip for those with oily skin, use a creamy cleanser instead of a soapy one. When I made this switch my oiliness diminished by like 75%. Creamy cleansers don't dry you out as much causing your skin to overproduce oil.
I ALWAYS wash my hands first before washing my face. My husband asks why I do that, and acts like I'm crazy for being so "extra"! 😆 Glad to know I was right to follow my instincts.👍😉
It actually doesn't make sense because wouldn't applying the face wash with your hands mean that it doesn't matter since you are going to rinse your face off.
I feel like she revealed the most important hint which was she developed acne post having a baby. I suspect this is hormonal and women can take up to a year for hormones to balance or even longer If you are nursing. Sometimes the “thing” that actually is working is “time” …letting your body get balanced (and of course a good diet).
Her routine had me ready to pass out!!😲This is why I know skincare routines are very VERY personal. My face would fall off if I did this routine. I found the right serums and moisturizers that work for me. When I had to rebuild my skin barrier after using the wrong actives, there were specific products that worked then but are not necessary now. Patch test if you don't want to set your face on fire. Like you always say better to go slow and steady. Cheers Beautiful. (Your facial expressions had me dying!🤣🤣)
I wonder how much environment plays a part in skincare because looking back I clearly was over exfoliating for years but had zero issues when I lived in Philly. Fast forward a few years living in Florida using the same products(clearly still over exfoliating) and my skin went absolutely crazy. I almost didn't look like the same person because my acne/scarring was so bad. Her skin looks amazing but over exfoliating is really nothing to play with! Sidenote... I wonder why skincare routine videos get so many views but videos like yours actually explaining the pros/cons of products so you know what you're and why don't get nearly as many views. Like you can't just buy and use everything that person is using without understanding what each product does
To your last point, I guess some don't like long form version of these videos. They just want to get to the point. But I'm with you I like these thorough videos regarding this subject.
Environmental plays a huge part! I’m from Chicago we have intense humidity. I had the worst acne! Then I was able to completely clear it it’s like the acne just went away. Now I live in Las Vegas it’s dry heat and terrible air quality! I don’t have acne still but not I deal with dull looking skin and my skin drying out yet still being oily!
@Simply JazzyD listen, I wonder the saaaame re: how the videos with the crazy routines most people should probably not follow get SOOOO many views and I be sitting here with the good info and good guests like heyyyyy lol. BUT that's kinda what got me to finally start doing these reaction videos. It's like I gotta fake troll to get people's attention lol
Lived in Hawaii for a while still broke out. I've had break outs forever. I work from home now, barely go outside and guess what... CLEAR SKIN because I don't go outside....
Paula's Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a gamechanger for me. I cut out dairy, alcohol, meat, and drink lots of water. My skin is smooth like butter now 😌
I cannot use any device on my face, my hands is all I need. I have dry acne prone skin and anything harsh is a no no. My hands in a gentle motion does it for me.
OMG! We had the exact same expression at exactly 17:05. That's an extreme regimen but her skin looks amazing. There's no way she is doing this every night. She is a testament that skin care is personal cause my skin .........just could not. My skin improved when I stopped doing the most. I keep it simple. 1) wash 2) serum (vitamin C in the AM and retinol in the PM). 3) moisturize (sunscreen during the day) and Gleamin Vitamin C mask is a no for me.
Not my skin type, but I picked up a lot of good tips. I am not a big fan of the devices I've had a couple and have a different skin type, but IMO I still just think it's marketing more than anything else. Have a great weekend! I am going back and forth on using a toner and a good one for normal to dry skin.
I’ve certainly overly exfoliated before. Still recovering and learning to take TH-cam vids with a grain of salt. For a while my skin was popping then one day red and itchy. Phew chile.
The Marie Claire expert gave some awesome advice. The young lady has a gruesome routine! My skin can't tolerate too many products. The simpler the better. I will say that her skin is beautiful and her routine works for her. I'm still working on mine. Very good content!!!
I love this video. My problem is not acne though it’s hyperpigmentation and not from acne, I think it’s melasma. There’s so many videos on acne prone skin but what about us melanated people that got sunburnt and never recovered or knew how to, or dark skin with melasma or hyperpigmentation from eczema. Not enough content on how to even out the skin or how long it will take or if the skin can actually heal from it after going untreated for years. Almost all hyperpigmentation videos I’ve seen is from acne but that isn’t the only cause. I’m going to search through your videos and hope I find something because I love how thorough you are but if there isn’t a video with an expert on it yet, please do one for the sistas like me ❤️
This happened to me when I was tootsie rolling with actives and no sunscreen in these Atlanta streets. I started using Black Girl Sunscreen and I used The Ordinary’s Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin. That’s what helped the melasma on my cheeks and forehead. It worked for me relatively quickly because I acted fast. I think also my skin in general recovers from scars and hyperpigmentation relatively quickly. I now use Tretinoin and my skin looks incredible, though I am going through the purge. Stay consistent with whatever you choose to use and consult a pro if you can.
Wow! 😳 Her skin looks beautiful, and definitely can take a lot. My skin got irritated when I tried Paula's Choice BHA exfoliating, just once. That was too much for me. I'm not going in hard, and too fast, blazing all around like you said. 😂 I'm going low and slow, and my skin is thanking me for it, the glow is coming back, and the dullness is backing up. Thank you both ladies, for the tips, tricks, learning environment and fun. Love the way you bring the information Danielle. 😄💖
@@styleandbeautydoctor you welcome. I love to see, how other ladies try to lift up, inform and educate others (and the brothers as well 😊). Watching your channel and videos feels like talking to a friend. And no worries about the forties. As they say: 40 it's the new 30. (And I can relate since I'm 42 going on to 43 😉) - Love it here. 💖
Glad Marie Claire told people not to use cleaning devices. I think the lovely young woman in the video is stripping / thinning her skin with all that scrubbing and exfoliating plus the toner.
Sorry not sure I know any Dermatologist or Aesthetician that would approve of that routine but each to their own. However if science remains true, one way or another this will end up costing her in the long term. I totally agree with Marie. If anything this is slow destruction to the skin barrier. I doubt she is doing this everyday. Please please please this comment is no way to be negative ❤️❤️ This chanel never fails to educate and uplift..Too underrated... ❤️❤️👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
My anxiety has been triggered to the white meat watching this 😬. This routine is dangerous for someone looking to get skincare tips so I feel for anybody that comes across Diamond video/channel instead of yours. I don't believe she goes a night without exfoliation and to not mention sunscreen? Yeah, glad this works for her, but encouraging people to get/use these products isn't good either. I enjoy these videos, keep em coming!
I am happy I saw this as I do use my benzoyl peroxide 10% cleanser every night and although I feel my cystic acne trying to come through it seldom actually comes to the surface. I really did not use moisturizer like that and now that I do day and night I am less oily. Dymond is lucky she still has skin after all this exfoliation. I had terrible hyperpigmentation from my breakouts and the benzoyl at night, salicylic in the am and twice a week lactic acid. This was all supporting my hydroquinone compound of 12% with kojic acid and tretinoin from my derm.
I am learning so much. I just started to take my skincare seriously now two weeks. 😳 just establishing a routine is a huge change for me. Baby steps though as this a lot. But her skin beautiful 😍.
As far as devices go, the only one I've seen some derms/estys recommend are silicone ones like Foreo or PMD and they are generally into chemical exfoliants as opposed to physical.
The way I was clutching my pearls watching all of this exfoliation😳😭😂 Her skin is beautiful, so the proof is in the pudding! However, I know my skin would wig out if I did all of this. I actually stopped using tools like brushes and manual exfoliants. I prefer to use glycolic acid a few times a week at night, and the other nights I use a retinoid. I have used lots of products, steps and tools. But a simpler plan is giving me better results at this stage in life. My skin has changed a lot over the years, and I've had to make adjustments along the way :) I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
I watched wit one eye open the whole time 😭😭😭😭😭 I could never! One thing I've noted with my skin is the skin on my neck is a little sensitive, compared to my face, so when I used to use ascorbic acid and an irritating niacinamide I didn't apply it there. It irritated the skin on my neck and caused sth like a burn. Retinol I didn't even try there. But other things, including Vit C derivatives, I do use there
I love these kind of videos. I actually had some issues with my skin and I did less exfoliating this time around. I didn’t want to potentially cause scars/hyperpigmentation. I definitely cut back on diary the last two weeks too. Yes wash your hands before you touch your face & body! 🤣🤣🤣 This video had me saying ohhhhweee. It’s too much exfoliation but her skin looks so damn good.
When I stopped drying my face with the same towel I dried my body with and started drying my face with a clean, disposable paper towel instead….bye acne 👋🏾….I also moisturize with Clinique Moisture Boost gel moisturizer.
Her skin is so beautiful though, It's a lot for a skin care routine even if you are acne prone skin, I was chocked by watching her doing of all this. I follow you from Haiti
Another great video Danielle😍 I have a very basic skincare routine for my oily skin, and I keep exfoliation to around twice a week, but thank goodness I’ve never suffered with acne so I can’t knock what anyone else does… Danielle I would really really reaaaaally love some tips or a video on black pre teen skincare ? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My skin is mostly smooth and clear now, and I get soooo many compliments on it. I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. And eliminating dairy from my diet was the most pivotal thing I’ve done to stop having cystic acne. My routine (remembering that everyone’s skin is different): Twice a day, every day I use a foaming face wash with my *gentle silicone cleansing device. Whenever I wear make up, I double cleanse using a cleansing oil (as the step *before the foaming face wash). Then I wash my chest and neck with soap and water. After cleansing, I use that chemical exfoliant she showed by Paula’s Choice. It’s also gentile on my face. If I happen to have a pimple (which isn’t often when I do the above), I then use a dermaroller and/or blemish patches (rather than picking). Lastly, I apply my serum(s) and moisturizer (and also sunblock if it’s daytime). Oh! One more thing: my long hair touches my face often, so I also stopped using pore-clogging oils on my hair (look into the comedogenic index for more on that). And I regularly clean my phone’s screen and change my sheets and pillowcases. Now saying that hyperpigmentation is my primary issue is truly a blessing; because for a time, it was cystic acne, and I was so sad about it. But even my hyperpigmentation has improved so much now too (because of all of the above, but also because I regularly use vitamin c serums and turmeric masks (new addition)). I’m praying that I fully figure out the hyperpigmentation soon. Wishing everyone luck on their respective journeys! 💕
I’m the same skin type. But which serums did you try? I’m curating my list now so I have some options. Just curious to what you used? And your foaming cleanser. I have a few items for cleaners im trying to figure out as well so I just like to see what other options folks are using that I might not know of.
Imma say it is cap because you can tell on her after that her camera has a beauty filter and more lightening on her side by side comparison and as a esthetician and a vlogger myself cameras have beauty filters on them and she had that halo glow like a filter lol but her skin is nice
this reminds me of Jada P. skin care routine. This is a lot, yes her skin looks great. But, I wonder is it mainly cause she changed her diet. I do like my clarisonic though. I hate they closed.
I finally beat my acne by reducing my carb intake. Carbs boost your androgen levels (male hormones) causing more oil production. I struggled with cystic acne over 2 years. I tried everything from the outside. Acne is started from the inside out. Also your stomach health, very important, inflammation is started in the gut and will show on your skin. Focus on prebiotic and probiotic foods. It took me less then 3 weeks to see significant results.
Wow. This routine is not one I could replicate. Started using a glycolic, lactic and salicylic exfoliating gel. I was using it daily but now only use it twice a week as my night time actives enhance skin cell turnover. For acne, I notice high amounts of sugar and chocolate binging worsens it.
The Gleamin clay mask is Amazing 🤩 it did wonders for my skin …I tell all friends to use it .Once I find something that works for me I continue with it …
I’m so glad I found this video I’m currently seeking a new routine for my acne prone skin and this is very helpful with what I should possibly add to my routine
The cleansing device thing threw me off because even when you wash your face with your hands in circular motion you can still spread bacteria. So that’s confusing
Ty for this video, def need an update to my skin care routine.. this was a blessing just pulled out my microdermabrasion tool, I started using spf 70 sunscreen spray but looking for a alternative that does not leave skin buildup..
We use black soap an and a African sponge to exfoliate and unrefined shea butter creamy mixed with liquid vasline helps with acne and eczema and keratosis pilaris
I don’t have acne but I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and my moisture barrier is easily damaged even when using sensitive skin products. Can you make a video that may be able to help us SUPER SENSITIVE PPL.
I watched this whole video with a horrified look on my face….she’s so rough with her skin. I dunno if this over exfoliating is gonna be good for her skin forever.
I need a skincare routine for adult acne, melasma, PIH from my acne, very oily skin, and I'm also aging a bit. Oh and I have sensitive reactive skin to most items & very clog prone. I must have gotten done bad stuff in a past life to deserve this! I can tolerate benzoyl peroxide but am trying to use a retinoid also. It just so hard to figure out an actual routine.
even as a person of color, it's an individual thing based on your skin type, lifestyle, climate, etc. there are two playlists of sunscreen reviews on this channel that you can check out to get some ideas as to what could work for you.
Loved the video and the whole concept 😉 I have troubled skin areas that are acne prone, but my Luna 3 (for sensitive skin) never caused further irritation, those bristles are gentle and work great for for me, but I'm listening closely to your suggestions and looking forward to next video
Re: putting benzoyl after a form of retinol, i know *I* can't do it. Last time I did was when I was using the ordinary's retinol oil and a BP spot treatment and the burning sensationnnnn? Not for me.
That's sort of the purpose of Epiduo (BP/adapalene combo). It's been formulated so you can get the two at the same time. I seem to recall Dr Dray doing a video one how to do your own version.
I don't think people need to do all this to have great skin! Some women in my country they just washed their faces with plain water only and that's it! We may be hurting our skin more by using so many things all together! Just saying even though now since I came to America I have started to do some of them because my skin has been so dry lately and I don't know why!

That destroys any skin barrier.Too much exfoliation for wantingva healthy skin.It doesnt matter what she eats,she destroyed her skin barrier in 7 days
Dont copy that!
That was ALOTTT of exfoliation. Most people will have a destroyed skin barrier from using half of the exfoliation in the routine but she has beautiful skin thats very robust but my skin hurt just looking at the nighttime routine🙅🏽♀️.
Btw benzoyl peroxide (leave on) will oxidize (deactive) vitamin C and benzoyl peroxide. They should not be used at the same time routine.
Love the video chat and the great advice😄

@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 I did juice and distilled water only. However, when I’ve done them in the former years I incorporated smoothies if I’m not focused on giving my digestive system a complete rest.
I definitely agree...I think after a good colon cleanse my skin is much better!!
I agree that less is more.
What is a daily enema and do I want to know 🤔
I’m convinced the same way that people are haircare product junkies, we have skincare product junkies. Most people just need a good cleanser, one or two effective treatments, moisturizer and sunscreen. The skin is an organ- got to be gentle with it and make sure we’re prioritizing health over the look of the skin.
I recommend following dermatologist and estheticians on social media if you don’t have access to visit one, and enjoy the diamond type routines as entertainment content (cuz her skin did look good- at that specific moment of time), and not educational.
I'm hurting cuz she said her final step during the day is her moisturizer....CHIIIIIIIIILE.....If we do t start grabbing sunscreen like we grab coconutbutter for our elbows! 🧐

Lived in Hawaii for a while still broke out. I've had break outs forever. I work from home now, barely go outside and guess what... CLEAR SKIN because I don't go outside....
@nancykerrigan yup, a lot of people don't want to think---they just want you to list off products :/
Paula's Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant is a gamechanger for me. I cut out dairy, alcohol, meat, and drink lots of water. My skin is smooth like butter now 😌
Not even 5 minutes into the video but I love the break down of her routine with medical advice. Her skin looks soo good !
She's going to destroy her skin barrier
I cannot use any device on my face, my hands is all I need. I have dry acne prone skin and anything harsh is a no no. My hands in a gentle motion does it for me.
❤️
Love this channel, Beauty Within channel and Hyram channel for skin care advice
OMG! We had the exact same expression at exactly 17:05. That's an extreme regimen but her skin looks amazing. There's no way she is doing this every night. She is a testament that skin care is personal cause my skin .........just could not. My skin improved when I stopped doing the most. I keep it simple.
1) wash
2) serum (vitamin C in the AM and retinol in the PM).
3) moisturize (sunscreen during the day)
and Gleamin Vitamin C mask is a no for me.
I love your videos… keep up the energy…. Your skin is flawless
Thank you so much!!
Not my skin type, but I picked up a lot of good tips. I am not a big fan of the devices I've had a couple and have a different skin type, but IMO I still just think it's marketing more than anything else. Have a great weekend! I am going back and forth on using a toner and a good one for normal to dry skin.
HEY BOOOOO!!! What's on your list of toners to look at?
I’ve certainly overly exfoliated before. Still recovering and learning to take TH-cam vids with a grain of salt. For a while my skin was popping then one day red and itchy. Phew chile.
The Marie Claire expert gave some awesome advice. The young lady has a gruesome routine! My skin can't tolerate too many products. The simpler the better. I will say that her skin is beautiful and her routine works for her. I'm still working on mine. Very good content!!!
I love this video. My problem is not acne though it’s hyperpigmentation and not from acne, I think it’s melasma. There’s so many videos on acne prone skin but what about us melanated people that got sunburnt and never recovered or knew how to, or dark skin with melasma or hyperpigmentation from eczema. Not enough content on how to even out the skin or how long it will take or if the skin can actually heal from it after going untreated for years. Almost all hyperpigmentation videos I’ve seen is from acne but that isn’t the only cause. I’m going to search through your videos and hope I find something because I love how thorough you are but if there isn’t a video with an expert on it yet, please do one for the sistas like me ❤️
This happened to me when I was tootsie rolling with actives and no sunscreen in these Atlanta streets. I started using Black Girl Sunscreen and I used The Ordinary’s Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin. That’s what helped the melasma on my cheeks and forehead. It worked for me relatively quickly because I acted fast. I think also my skin in general recovers from scars and hyperpigmentation relatively quickly.
I now use Tretinoin and my skin looks incredible, though I am going through the purge. Stay consistent with whatever you choose to use and consult a pro if you can.
Wow! 😳 Her skin looks beautiful, and definitely can take a lot. My skin got irritated when I tried Paula's Choice BHA exfoliating, just once. That was too much for me. I'm not going in hard, and too fast, blazing all around like you said. 😂 I'm going low and slow, and my skin is thanking me for it, the glow is coming back, and the dullness is backing up. Thank you both ladies, for the tips, tricks, learning environment and fun. Love the way you bring the information Danielle. 😄💖
thanks, Stephanie!
@@styleandbeautydoctor you welcome.
I love to see, how other ladies try to lift up, inform and educate others (and the brothers as well 😊). Watching your channel and videos feels like talking to a friend. And no worries about the forties. As they say: 40 it's the new 30. (And I can relate since I'm 42 going on to 43 😉) - Love it here. 💖
@@stephaniesolingen281 thank you! omg I love to hear that! And re: 40s-I LOVE IT HERE! Having the time of my life lol
Glad Marie Claire told people not to use cleaning devices. I think the lovely young woman in the video is stripping / thinning her skin with all that scrubbing and exfoliating plus the toner.
Ok my face hurts from watching this woman do all that exfoliation. 🤔
These are my favorite videos by you. Your commentary is always on point. Reminds me of the educational videos I would watch in school lol
haha thanks!
I've followed her for years and really like her. This skin regimen is not the move though.
Sorry not sure I know any Dermatologist or Aesthetician that would approve of that routine but each to their own. However if science remains true, one way or another this will end up costing her in the long term. I totally agree with Marie. If anything this is slow destruction to the skin barrier. I doubt she is doing this everyday.
Please please please this comment is no way to be negative ❤️❤️
This chanel never fails to educate and uplift..Too underrated... ❤️❤️👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
My anxiety has been triggered to the white meat watching this 😬. This routine is dangerous for someone looking to get skincare tips so I feel for anybody that comes across Diamond video/channel instead of yours.
I don't believe she goes a night without exfoliation and to not mention sunscreen? Yeah, glad this works for her, but encouraging people to get/use these products isn't good either. I enjoy these videos, keep em coming!
Yesss To 👏🏾 The 👏🏾 White 👏🏾 MEAT hunny!! 🫣
I am happy I saw this as I do use my benzoyl peroxide 10% cleanser every night and although I feel my cystic acne trying to come through it seldom actually comes to the surface. I really did not use moisturizer like that and now that I do day and night I am less oily. Dymond is lucky she still has skin after all this exfoliation. I had terrible hyperpigmentation from my breakouts and the benzoyl at night, salicylic in the am and twice a week lactic acid. This was all supporting my hydroquinone compound of 12% with kojic acid and tretinoin from my derm.
My heart is aching as I’ve been using benzoyl peroxide daily on my face . And my face is breaking out crazily 🥺
Same
I am learning so much. I just started to take my skincare seriously now two weeks. 😳 just establishing a routine is a huge change for me. Baby steps though as this a lot. But her skin beautiful 😍.
baby steps is the key!
As far as devices go, the only one I've seen some derms/estys recommend are silicone ones like Foreo or PMD and they are generally into chemical exfoliants as opposed to physical.
The way I was clutching my pearls watching all of this exfoliation😳😭😂 Her skin is beautiful, so the proof is in the pudding! However, I know my skin would wig out if I did all of this. I actually stopped using tools like brushes and manual exfoliants. I prefer to use glycolic acid a few times a week at night, and the other nights I use a retinoid. I have used lots of products, steps and tools. But a simpler plan is giving me better results at this stage in life. My skin has changed a lot over the years, and I've had to make adjustments along the way :) I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
Gleaming does work, but it will lighten your skin and leave it with an uneven tone. It lightens quicky.
I watched wit one eye open the whole time 😭😭😭😭😭 I could never!
One thing I've noted with my skin is the skin on my neck is a little sensitive, compared to my face, so when I used to use ascorbic acid and an irritating niacinamide I didn't apply it there. It irritated the skin on my neck and caused sth like a burn. Retinol I didn't even try there. But other things, including Vit C derivatives, I do use there
I love these kind of videos. I actually had some issues with my skin and I did less exfoliating this time around. I didn’t want to potentially cause scars/hyperpigmentation.
I definitely cut back on diary the last two weeks too. Yes wash your hands before you touch your face & body! 🤣🤣🤣
This video had me saying ohhhhweee. It’s too much exfoliation but her skin looks so damn good.
heyyyy Chrissy!
Has it been 30 days? We need to check on Diamond's skin.
When I stopped drying my face with the same towel I dried my body with and started drying my face with a clean, disposable paper towel instead….bye acne 👋🏾….I also moisturize with Clinique Moisture Boost gel moisturizer.
Her skin is so beautiful though, It's a lot for a skin care routine even if you are acne prone skin, I was chocked by watching her doing of all this. I follow you from Haiti
sak pase!!!
How is her skin not burning off?! 😭
Your facial expressions are priceless 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 Very informative though, thank you!
Another great video Danielle😍 I have a very basic skincare routine for my oily skin, and I keep exfoliation to around twice a week, but thank goodness I’ve never suffered with acne so I can’t knock what anyone else does… Danielle I would really really reaaaaally love some tips or a video on black pre teen skincare ? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’ve been using a cleansing oil for my sensitive, acne prone, combo skin! Okay. I will go back to just the double cleanse. Great video!
My skin is mostly smooth and clear now, and I get soooo many compliments on it. I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. And eliminating dairy from my diet was the most pivotal thing I’ve done to stop having cystic acne.
My routine (remembering that everyone’s skin is different):
Twice a day, every day I use a foaming face wash with my *gentle silicone cleansing device.
Whenever I wear make up, I double cleanse using a cleansing oil (as the step *before the foaming face wash).
Then I wash my chest and neck with soap and water.
After cleansing, I use that chemical exfoliant she showed by Paula’s Choice. It’s also gentile on my face.
If I happen to have a pimple (which isn’t often when I do the above), I then use a dermaroller and/or blemish patches (rather than picking).
Lastly, I apply my serum(s) and moisturizer (and also sunblock if it’s daytime).
Oh! One more thing: my long hair touches my face often, so I also stopped using pore-clogging oils on my hair (look into the comedogenic index for more on that). And I regularly clean my phone’s screen and change my sheets and pillowcases.
Now saying that hyperpigmentation is my primary issue is truly a blessing; because for a time, it was cystic acne, and I was so sad about it. But even my hyperpigmentation has improved so much now too (because of all of the above, but also because I regularly use vitamin c serums and turmeric masks (new addition)). I’m praying that I fully figure out the hyperpigmentation soon. Wishing everyone luck on their respective journeys! 💕
I’m the same skin type. But which serums did you try? I’m curating my list now so I have some options. Just curious to what you used? And your foaming cleanser. I have a few items for cleaners im trying to figure out as well so I just like to see what other options folks are using that I might not know of.
Holy exfoliation! If I did that I'd destroy my skin. Seems to be working for her though, but on the long term it could damage her skin.
Imma say it is cap because you can tell on her after that her camera has a beauty filter and more lightening on her side by side comparison and as a esthetician and a vlogger myself cameras have beauty filters on them and she had that halo glow like a filter lol but her skin is nice
this reminds me of Jada P. skin care routine. This is a lot, yes her skin looks great. But, I wonder is it mainly cause she changed her diet. I do like my clarisonic though. I hate they closed.
Chile omg she is doing the most. No she did not use that pmd.. that glycolic toner and that Paula’s choice…chileeeeeeee
I finally beat my acne by reducing my carb intake.
Carbs boost your androgen levels (male hormones) causing more oil production.
I struggled with cystic acne over 2 years.
I tried everything from the outside.
Acne is started from the inside out.
Also your stomach health, very important, inflammation is started in the gut and will show on your skin.
Focus on prebiotic and probiotic foods.
It took me less then 3 weeks to see significant results.
Currently using Marie Claire's products, they are really good.
Wow. This routine is not one I could replicate. Started using a glycolic, lactic and salicylic exfoliating gel. I was using it daily but now only use it twice a week as my night time actives enhance skin cell turnover. For acne, I notice high amounts of sugar and chocolate binging worsens it.
The girls that you react to have WILD skin care routines. BUT I do enjoy there content
The Gleamin clay mask is Amazing 🤩 it did wonders for my skin …I tell all friends to use it .Once I find something that works for me I continue with it …
I’m so glad I found this video I’m currently seeking a new routine for my acne prone skin and this is very helpful with what I should possibly add to my routine
Hey boo! I'm glad it was helpful! 💕
She must have a very hard skin,I could never try that with mine,wow.
I can't breathe! someone call the doc! I think I am suffering from disbelief and straight up what in the he'll ???? Whew Chile 😭
These videos be wild y'all💀💀
The Clarisonic broke me out
I’ve watched 4 videos and haven’t really gotten a straight answer on what to use for my face😩😂I just wanna get rid of this mess on my face
The cleansing device thing threw me off because even when you wash your face with your hands in circular motion you can still spread bacteria. So that’s confusing
Como ela não fritou a cara dela literalmente??? São todos os acidos ao mesmo tempo e não sei como a pele dela aguentou tanto😭😥
"dutty stinking hands" ... you a yaadie...nice 😉🇯🇲
Also keep your hands out your face sometimes we unconsciously infect our faces with our dirty hands.
Ty for this video, def need an update to my skin care routine.. this was a blessing just pulled out my microdermabrasion tool, I started using spf 70 sunscreen spray but looking for a alternative that does not leave skin buildup..
Can you recommend a couple moisturizers for oily skin?
I remember seeing this a little while back, I actually felt like my own face was being ripped off lmao
We use black soap an and a African sponge to exfoliate and unrefined shea butter creamy mixed with liquid vasline helps with acne and eczema and keratosis pilaris
I don’t have acne but I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and my moisture barrier is easily damaged even when using sensitive skin products. Can you make a video that may be able to help us SUPER SENSITIVE PPL.
Thank you for your videos!Can I use tretinoin after LED mask every day?❤️
I love my foreo luna mini 3, it helped my acne so much! I clean it with soap before I use it and only use it at night!
sis... what is your foundation that's all i want to know!!! thanks
Probably Dior Forever Matte---I tend to rotate but think I was wearing that here.
It looks rough and will irritate my skin
I watched this whole video with a horrified look on my face….she’s so rough with her skin. I dunno if this over exfoliating is gonna be good for her skin forever.
I need a skincare routine for adult acne, melasma, PIH from my acne, very oily skin, and I'm also aging a bit. Oh and I have sensitive reactive skin to most items & very clog prone. I must have gotten done bad stuff in a past life to deserve this!
I can tolerate benzoyl peroxide but am trying to use a retinoid also. It just so hard to figure out an actual routine.
If I exfoliate like that my skin will come off my face.
Who has time to do all this mess everyday
That’s a lot … I would worry m skin would have a flare up
Imma keep my comments to myself cause this the same creator who claimed a waist trainer and a trash bag gave her an hourglass figure.
Lmaooo point me to the video
@@khalifahkush9707 lol I cant recall I watched a
Jump rope challenge vid she did like a year ago where its obvious she had surgery.
😂😂😂😂
Everyone keeps saying you sunscreen but what is the best sunscreen for us. A person of color.
even as a person of color, it's an individual thing based on your skin type, lifestyle, climate, etc. there are two playlists of sunscreen reviews on this channel that you can check out to get some ideas as to what could work for you.
I don’t like devices that scrub the face .. 😊
You have beautiful skin mama
Thank you!!
I love ❤️ dymond ❤that’s my girl
Loved the video and the whole concept 😉 I have troubled skin areas that are acne prone, but my Luna 3 (for sensitive skin) never caused further irritation, those bristles are gentle and work great for for me, but I'm listening closely to your suggestions and looking forward to next video
ARE YOU THE QUEEN OF JAMAICA,🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 YOU SAID WASH U DUTTY STINKING HANDS LIKE SOME PPLE WOULD LOL,LOTS OF HUMOR 🤣😅💞
lmaooooo! Trini but a New Yawker so all we folk are here lol
New subscriber!! How can I get rid of coarse facial & chin hair please?
Hey!! - Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/9_9HnQ_dMS8/w-d-xo.html
Re: putting benzoyl after a form of retinol, i know *I* can't do it. Last time I did was when I was using the ordinary's retinol oil and a BP spot treatment and the burning sensationnnnn? Not for me.
That's sort of the purpose of Epiduo (BP/adapalene combo). It's been formulated so you can get the two at the same time. I seem to recall Dr Dray doing a video one how to do your own version.
I think it can work with using a retinoid. I use a BP wash before I apply Differin. But I eased it in after the irritation was gone, but ask a derm!
@@veraowiredu442 I mean I guess your routine works because you're using a BP *wash* but I'd rather use a simple cleanser.
I don't think people need to do all this to have great skin! Some women in my country they just washed their faces with plain water only and that's it! We may be hurting our skin more by using so many things all together! Just saying even though now since I came to America I have started to do some of them because my skin has been so dry lately and I don't know why!
I agree, I wash with warm water and use a alcohol free moisturizer and that’s it and my skin is nice and I don’t wear absolutely no makeup
Aerobes vs anaerobes… which ones cannot survive in an environment with oxygen?
I need full coverage for the daytime
Why would anyone leave mean comments on any of your videos? 😞
