Hi Kelly a really good video, but one thing to add is for those with skin "conditions" eg eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea etc, we have a permanently impaired or weak moisture barrier - it's just part of the disease process. As these are all chronic conditions that flare and ebb, sometimes the dehydration is worse than others as the moisture barrier is more deficient during those flares. I have both rosacea and eczema, with dry/mature skin that really doesn't produce any sebum any more. This probably means my own production of that cholesterol, ceramides and fatty acids is woefully poor. I have to use products to soothe and moisturise all year round and really up the layers during the colder months (Scottish winters can be really hard on my skin). We're also still wearing masks in indoor public places and although I never developed maskne, I did/do have much drier/irritated skin in that mask area if worn for a prolonged period of time. All that saliva/breath/humidity under occlusion is not something my skin is happy about at all. The enzymes in the saliva that breakdown our food can also contribute to the skin breakdown. it's a vicious cycle in many ways and I find amping up the layers can really help. I don't use the same thing every single day, but instead layer what I think my skin needs (or will tolerate) that day. Best wishes.
My favorite occlusive moisturizer is the Avene Xeracalm ad cream! It is mineral oil based and not only does it have an amazing cooling rich texture like a light fluffy cold cream, but it is also preservative free and made for the most sensitive skin. It works when my skin is at its most sensitive and is made for eczema skin. And it has tons of glycerin so it is also hydrating and occlusive. My HG for sure!
i remembered back when i didn't know that i am prone to skin dehydration, i literally slathered myself with moisturizer and sunscreen with alcohol then wondered why my skin feels tight after a couple of hours despite having so much oil sitting on top of my skin. 😂 thank god i understand my skin better now. I'm glad kelly make this type of video for dehydrated peeps out there.
Kelly you are a diamond! I went to a dermatologist here in Scotland years ago for acne and they just gave me antibiotics. Thanks to you and and the information available I diagnosed myself with a damaged skin barrier (it was so bad, I mean damaged like it had been burned with fire) and your remedies and information have saved my skin. That's why I was getting adult acne and severe redness. Not because I needed an antibiotic. Thank you for being you and sharing all the information you do ❤️
I figured out that my skin is oily but dehydrated after I stumbled upon your channel. After 2+ yrs of consistent skincare, my skin is normal/combination, depending on the weather. Thank you so much, I really enjoy watching your videos and trust your reviews.
Hi Kelly as I’m getting older and dryer I’ve found that in shower post workout morning cleansing of more dehydrated body parts (including face) with Bioderma Atoderm cleansing oil (yes that huge vat with pump) is the best! Even my husband loves it for same purpose. Keeps our skin barrier shored up and more hydrated. I highly recommend for us sensitive types❤️
This really settled my concerns about my dehydrated feeling skin. I've been wondering what I'm doing to cause it, but it is mild and there isn't any irritation or inflammation with it so I think it's mostly because of my dry climate! Definitely replacing my moisturizer with something more occlusive when I run out
If you're not allergic to hemp seed oil , you can use - "Simple Booster Serum 10% Hemp Seed Oil + B3" - 30ml . Budget friendly and really great product . 😊😊
I finally got the make prem toner! I'm very excited to use it when my current one runs out soon. I love a basic toner for my sensitive skin and I can't wait to use it given how much you love it Kelly!
I don’t think I have a weak damaged barrier, but I keep putting in ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in my skincare routines anyways. My skin loves em and it makes it look so good! I think prevention is my game. I don’t want to have my skin become damaged so I prevent it with good skincare practices.
I bought the iliyoon ato cream immediately after watching your product update last time. The new version is definitely thicker and more refined, so good on my skin. Thanks again Kelly for reintroducing me to the cream.
I am your international fans. I think our skin condition is similar and I dont know, but your opinion for certain skincare is definitely what I think about that product as well. Thanks Kelly for giving product recommendation that I can use
I love your videos and your advice has helped so many of us, but I feel they've been repetitive for a while now. Dehydration, barrier care, with the same products in every video. Some videos I'd love to see include: "revisiting an old favorite" series. I noticed the jin jun sung essence on your shelf and I know you used to like it, but I'd love an updated option and maybe a vs with it. Maybe a few times a year do a video where you try a skincare routine based on subscriber recommendations. More body care videos would be amazing. It seems like the next big thing, but there aren't many people talking about body serums, moisturizers, body washes, especially body sunscreens, etc. A video about how to repurpose old skincare products and make them last. I hope this wasn't offensive. A little more variety would be helpful for viewers with a variety of skin concerns.
I got the Make Prem safe me toner based on your recommendation a while ago and it's wonderful! What a value as well! I had been using the Safe Me cream which is also lovely as a day cream for my dehydrated skin over the toner, snail essence, and Stratia Liquid Gold - LOVE that stuff so much I get the 4oz bottle now. I really appreciate your informative videos Kelly, thank you! 🥰
Hi!! I just started watching your videos and I must say you have given me so much confidence in reversing my dehydration. It would mean the world if you could answer my two questions (and forgive me if I missed the answers in your other videos). How did you know once you started incorporating more barrier care products into your routine that they were working? How long did it take for the improvement to even start even if it was something as little as no irritation? I’ve been struggling with dehydration for months now focusing only on hydration without any barrier care. That changes today because of you!!
My skin becomes dehydrated in the cold winter season and if I use a harsh cleanser or exfoliating product. Thank you for the tips. I really enjoyed this video !!! ❤ Vaseline also helps a lot !
I’ve tried a lot of skincare products either from korean brands or western brands but La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 literally changed my skin 180 degree. It becomes my HG immediately after i bought it at whim which i thought it wasn’t going to work to my skin but damnnn it made a huge difference on first application. Now that’s a product that i can’t live without.
@@efroggys nope it doesn’t. It depends on the formulation not solely by the ingredients. Even though i have acne prone skin but it works wonder for me. However, you can do a patch test before trying out because everyone has an unique skin, so it may not work for you
Hi Kelly! I love how you explain everything, you do such a wonderful job!. I have also a very veeeery dehydrated combo skin and i was interested in the brand Mannyo factory; I think they have a interesting formulas for the skin barrier and I would love to hear your opinion about their products.
My skin around my mouth is already prone to dehydration in the first place but now I just realised that my main culprit that worsen my dehydration is wearing a mask! 😫
I KNOW that tretinoin is the reason why my moisture barrier is damaged every single time... I am using it 2 years now in every possible way and I still get irritation and dehydration.. especially 1 to 2 days after the application.. I really do not know what to do anymore Kelly🤣
Did you figure out a solution? I’ve been using tretinoin for 6 months and it’s dehydrating my skin. I’m only using it twice a week. On nights that I’m not using it, I want to start hydrating & repairing the moisture barrier then sealing it all in with CeraVe Healing Ointment or Vanicream Moisturizing Ointment for Extra Dry Skin.
There this product that has caught my interest called Goodal Vegan Rice Milk Moisturizing Toner. I wonder if this product will work for winter ? 🤔 I hope to see this toner in your later videos and hear thoughts and opinions. My mom has very dry skin and is loving the isntree toner (hyaluronic acid plus), beauty of joseon ginseng essence water, and real barrier extreme cream.
I was using so many moisturizers with no relief. I watched one of your videos where you r3commended Vita B5 Toner. It’s worked well but I’d like to build on this so I appreciate this video!
My body dehydrates easily. So, it makes sense that my skin does. Using heavily chlorinated city water to wash with makes it feel like I can never get ahead of the problem. I’m going to try some of your suggestions.
Hi Kelly!! So I know the exact source of my dehydrated skin, I have a fan on me almost all day at my desk and definitely at night. We live in a super hot region of California and the fans are a necessity lol. Plus, I am perimenopausal and i know that it affects my skin as well. I have tubes of moisturizers in just about every room, lol...😂❤
Hi Kelly. Thank you for all the amazing videos and so informative. I think I have damaged my skin barrier and have dehydrated skin. I have been following your suggestions:( no actives, using similar products: iliyoon cream, hydrating toner and esscene, sunscreen) for more than a month now but my chin and forehead is still feeling tight but looks oily all the time. I am at my wits end now and not sure what to do. Is there any other tips you can suggest? Thank you
Kelly have you checked out the glow recipe Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum? The ceramides they use is impressive! I just started using it and after one day I've noticed a difference in redness and hydration. Would love to know your thoughts! It is unscented
How important is the inclusion of barrier repair ingredients in solving dehydration/repairing the barrier? Do you think it would be possible to heal your skin without them?
Recently I'd realize my skin is very dehydrated. Thanks for the video as I do learn a lot from you. The only concern that I've using these recommended rich & fatty moisturizers is that it may cause breakouts on my nose (I'm T-zone skin type). Don't know why but my nose gets oily very easily. Once applied too rich cream/serum, I'll get breakouts the next day. I'm really frustrated cuz I do want to heal my damaged skin barriers so badly, but at the same time I worried it will cause breakouts when using such rich products on my face. What should I do????
I do this but I think also Kelly has suggested it. Try two toners, a thin one followed by a oh so slightly richer one, however many layers of each based on wha your skin enjoys, chef’s kiss 😁 I usually also add something like laneige cream skin after surems, which is also super nice
I don't think one is better, it depends on your budget and skin needs. I think layering up 1 toner until skin feels hydrated is main takeaway tip. But you can play around with different toners of different weights and see if you like the combo (I do think sometimes). The main thing I'd suggest is if you do use different products make sure they are different in terms of texture/how they make skin feel. Otherwise it's just a bunch of products, not intentional skincare building.
my skin always looks dehydrated. I really minimize using any active ingredients and mostly use hydrating and moisturizing stuff too. sadly I still experience a lot of discomfort and redness around my cheeks and nose almost all year long. I don’t think I have rosasia so I’m still unsure how to fix my skin :(

I like your description of dehydrated skin. I've always described my combo skin as being like a buttery piece of toast. haha
Lol love the analogy
OMG this is accurate! 😂

I have that one on hand too. Great cream indeed! I use everything avene :)
@@romy3582 yes I love Avene! It's so soothing for sensitive skin
Does it have fragrance
@@nataliaj1299 no fragrance at all in the moisturizer or the xeracalm ad line..I think some of the other Avene products might have fragrance
I love putting toner on with slightly damp skin from cleansing to get all the hydration.
Me too! I like to continue layering on my skincare when damp too. My skin is so much more hydrated now
Same, I never let it try out between steps when doing my routine. Really locks in moisture
i remembered back when i didn't know that i am prone to skin dehydration, i literally slathered myself with moisturizer and sunscreen with alcohol then wondered why my skin feels tight after a couple of hours despite having so much oil sitting on top of my skin. 😂 thank god i understand my skin better now.

Oh gosh, same! It was really hard to even know about dehydrated skin let alone how to properly treat it!

It doesn’t clog your pores? I imagine it’s waxy and comedogenic based on the name
So good! I've been using this a lot lately too, so calming!
My HG too but I ve read from LRP that they are discontinuing it!!😐 It is becoming harder and harder to find it in the UK

Dehydration is soooo uncomfortable and distracting. Eat really healthy and not drinking alcohol or coffee is crucial as well as getting good sleep.

Which oil should i be using, i have combination acne prone skin and i have fungal acne or small bumps on forehead???
Is the latest primera miracle seed essence still be considered a good toner/essence for dehydrated skin??
I'm not a big fan of the reformulation, I did a video on it last year ua-cam.com/video/EeThj-C51gQ/v-deo.html

How is the beauty of joseon essence toner compared to those other toners?
Potentially a hair less hydrating than my top dehydrated skin rec's.
💕💕
I think I have the same skin type (combination, oily but also dehydrated at the same time) and it's so hard to cater for 😢 hateee
Kelly, is egf peptide safe in skincare?
Yes!
