I feel you. I am now starting to have clear skin for the first time in 15 years but the scars and large pores it leaves just knocks you down all over again.
@@xEllesirKx really happy for u and hope u get the result u want .. the scars on the other hand , u already accomplished alot to ur skin and iam sure u will leave 2021 without acne for good
But remember. You’re still beautiful. Acne doesn’t define your beauty; inside or out. This is coming from someone who has had acne long term and I know how this feels.
im honestly addicted to skin videos just because it helps me realize that everyone goes through skin issues and its totally normal and it makes me feel less insecure!
I completely agree that watching skin videos really helps because ever since I hit puberty I have gotten acne and I am 23 now I'm still dealing with acne and dealing with acne for so long really ruins your self esteem and I've struggled with severe depression and my family keeps telling me don't watch those videos, you're just making your depression worse and they don't understand that the reason why I watch these videos is because it reminds me that I'm not alone because I truly do feel alone. none of my friends have acne. my family members never dealt with acne. I'm the first one to really struggle with it so watching those videos and seeing people struggle with the same things as I do and overcoming them really helps.
definitely go to your doctor and ask for benzoyl peroxide. ignore people telling you that its as easy as washing your face, changing your diet and drinking water because its not. acne is an infection and its different to pimples that you might get at that time of the month or if you have lactose intolerance or bad hygiene. its one of the most common but most difficult conditions to get rid of. Benzoyl Peroxide works well because it kills the bacteria that causes acne - and whats even better is that your skin doesn't get used to it and stop working like most other topical treatments! you can use it however many times and it doesn't lose its effectiveness :) and please don't let people make you feel ashamed of your acne, I'm also going through it and its so mentally draining - just know that its never your fault and you can't help it, I hope it gets better soon because I know how hard it is to suffer from acne
@@hannahbanana9901 i just want to say thank you for taking your time in creating this super long paragraph to help others. much love from me and also btw God loves you 🤎
Tips: -Know your skin type and skin concerns and if you need help, search up videos or do research and or see a dermatologist to get the products you’re looking for. -Do NOT use ice on your face, it can make your skin more sensitive. -I recommend using a chemical exfoliant for longer effects rather than physical. -If you use a towel to dry please pat your skin instead of rubbing it. -Do NOT use paper towels or tissues on your face to clean. (Recommend reusable cotton pads) -Stay hydrated! (Although it’s not scientifically proven that it will help the skin but it should be essential to you every day already) -ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN -For sheet masks, it should be a 1 only use so please don’t reuse the sheet masks and serum inside for the face. -Be aware of skincare DIYS -Use reusable cotton pads so you can wash them instead of throwing them away. -Never use scrubs for your face. -Don’t touch your face a lot since your hands can be dirty. -Wash your pillows/bedsheets often like once a week or so. -Clean the things you touch every 1-2 months. -For sheet masks only do the maximum of 15 minutes. The only steps you need in skincare: -Micellar Water with a cotton pad (if you have makeup) -Cleansing oil or balm (if you have very oily skin or have makeup) -Cleanser -Moisturizer -Sunscreen Skincare steps with extras: Extras = * Daytime- -Cleanser *Toner *Serum (please check which serums you use if it’s for AM or PM) -Moisturizer -Sunscreen Nighttime- -Cleansing oil or balm (if you have very oily skin or have makeup) -Cleanser *exfoliator (chemical or physical) *Toner *Serum *Sheet mask -Moisturizer This is just a small comment but I hope it helps! Oh, small reminder it can also be your diet and the food you consume too so be on the lookout for that :D
Bro I used ice on my face for a few minutes and a few hours later my cheeks were RED and raised and looked like I had burns (good thing I didn’t and it faded within two days but it was NOT a good idea) thank you for including that. Stay smart 😂💕
These tips are all really great! However the do not use ice thing isn’t true! It actually depends on your skin type! It’s really good for clearing your skin and reducing inflammation
does anyone have any genuine suggestions to reducing stress besides meditation? my body shows signs of stress but mentally I successfully convince myself im not stressed so its a shit show.
@@sydneyree1394 hmm, it depends on a person... to me it helps if I go hiking or walking around, dancing on a stupid song, talking alot about with my friend, and telling myself that in the end it will not matter...I am trying to live for the momment, so I wont regret it later, but yes sometimes it is still hard.
I recommend getting a few cotton masks, switching them up and washing after every wear and maybe putting some baby powder on the bottom part of your face (chin, upper lip, nose...). This is what helps me not breakout while wearing a mask. Now, I think the powder is safe enough for the skin (mine is doing good), I haven’t had any breakouts in this area that came from wearing a mask. If you wear makeup (which I usually do, but very light), I recommend finishing off with some powder (translucent or in color). My skin is oily in the T-zone, so I don’t have problems with my cheeks, but if you do, I’m guessing this would work on the cheeks as well. Hope this helps, feel free to try it out and see for a while. Let me know how it goes! ☺️
@@ninasimic8457 thanks for the tip with putting on baby powder, I’ll try that one out 😊 Unfortunately we have a mask mandate in my country now that only allows us to wear medically approved masks, so no more cotton masks for me... 😬
I’ve been struggling with acne for over two years now and I’ve had a similar experience. My acne mainly goes up and down, and sometimes it goes to kinda-clear-ish but that only lasts for two days at a time every week and never at a good time. It’s amazing that you finally cleared your skin and it’s given me a bit of hope.
same ive had up and down skin for a couple years, sometimes its okay, sometimes I really hate it but even when it's breakout free theres still marks and uneven-ness. i j want clear skinnnnn
Being someone who has struggled with acne-riddled skin for over 5 years now, I had eventually just given up and accepted it as fact. I've been on 6/7 variations of skin pills including going on Roaccutane twice and the pill once and nothing has worked. I have been playing with the idea of trying again with healing my skin and then BOOM UA-cam did it again and recommended your video! Thanks for the really motivating video, my strength to fight my skin has now been restored! Time to get clear skin! Who's with me?
i feel you. nowadays i have better my skin than last month but i just accepted that in two months i’ll have the same baaaad skin as i used to have. it’s a fact. it sucks but well... other people have other problems... 😩
@@danimarti650 Just because other people have problems doesn’t mean your problems aren’t as significant! Skin is such a trouble that many of us are in the same boat. My skin also does the same☹️ but it’s going to change! It has to...
Roaccutane is used to get rid of hormonal acne. A severe case of acne. So it won’t work for everyone if you have merely acne that comes and go with time.
Having acne after having a clear skin is a nightmare before when i had clear skin i didn’t really cared about my skin however now with all the pimples and acne i just wanna go back to my normal skin….so the one thing to learn from this is that what u have now just take care of it at your level best so you don’t have to regret it afterwards👍
my skin has always been super clear and ive always taken good care of it. now all of the sudden 2 months ago started breaking out terribly and my skin has never been dryer or more sensitive
@@faerynreilly Its good that you cared about your skin before having acne so well done for that👍 however Sometimes things doesn’t go as we plan to, this does not mean this days will not get better again soo remember that better and bright days are ahead to come….one more thing if you want to ask any questions about acne, I will for sure reply👍I have acne myself and its actually getting better thank god for that✨
I remember when I had clear skin I didn’t even wash my face, use moisturizer and no sunscreen. I remember my friends had acne and they used to call me lucky and I used to be like, just wash your face your skin will clear. On UA-cam I remember sometimes getting video recommendations on how to clear your skin and I would just roll my eyes and think to myself that it wasn’t that hard. But now that I have acne that has been on my face for 3 years now and won’t go away I understand the pain. I feel like I was so ungrateful for my perfect skin.
@@jeetvijay3060hey, can you please tell me if your acne got better? If so what did you use and how lon did it take to completely go away? (Scars and hyper pigmentation included) please i need this, i'm really struggling with this too right now and i don't know what triggered it, i always had clear and healthy skin...
@@abdellahelmansori4446 snap! I am at a lost cause at the moment and the impact it has on confidence and mental health is insane. Its crazy how skin changes from one month to the next.
I was just at my grandma’s house and she commented on my bad forehead acne, which is the first time in a long time anyone has mentioned it and it just made me break down because I’m so insecure about it... and then I just stumbled upon this video and you are an angel, thank you🙏
@Kiera Henry omg I had no idea! That makes so much sense though because I have IBS and have been having a flare up recently and my skin has too! I'm going to look into this, thanks for the insight!
I'm so happy for you! Trying to heal your skin can be so draining and emotional when everything isn't working. I've found that STRESS has been the biggest difference for me and my skin too! Even just a short daily walk can help calm me down and feel less stressed! Thanks for the vid, loved it xx
Have you ever had your hormones tested? I found out recently that i had high testosterone that was causing my lifelong acne. ive been taking supplements to lower my testosterone and it has definitely helped!
Manuka honey! MANUKA HONEY! It is quite expensive and I hate the taste but it is so good for you and it rlly is all natural. I usually put it on my face as a mask or in my teas but it fights bacteria and u can rlly see a difference in a week.
if you really want to have a clear skin i suggest you go read about how to heal skin barrier and how to heal your gut these 2 are the main reason for your acne if you heal these 2 things you will have the skin as you have before puberty

** UPDATE ** DOWN BELOW THIS !! Literally last night while I was washing my face, I looked at my face and just felt so disgusted of my acne ruining my confidence and my poor face. So I cried myself to sleep lol just praying for change to my face! This morning I came across this video and OMG I am so excited to try these products and hope my face will love it!! I’ve never seen someone who knows the struggle and how much money we put into our face to feel confident again. Thank you and I’m so excited to get these products and praying to feel beautiful again! 💕☺️ *** UPDATE *** May 2nd I started drinking the powder she recommended and let me tell you, it was horrible!!! I drank it with water ones a week because I couldn’t take drinking it everyday lol. So far I don’t see massive results with the powder. With skincare it worked in the beginning, but still had acne and wouldn’t go away. So I went to sephora and I met an amazing woman who helped me find my skincare products for my acne. She was so real with me and made me feel confident. What made me more happy and confident was when she told me if she can see my face so she knows what she’s working with ( i obviously had my mask on lol ) so I showed her and she told me “ you’re to beautiful to have acne” 🥲 So she recommended me the brand First Aid Beauty and WOW my acne was GONE within 4 weeks!!! As of today I just have acne scars from my previous acne, but NO active acne!! NONE!!!
Hopefully you get better !! I understand that feeling, this past three months I went to a dermatologist and currently it has helped me so much hopefully in three months I’ll have clear skin, because it ruined my confidence too, I didn’t even want to look myself in the mirror.
I also cleared my skin during quarantine! I’m sure it had to do with not wearing make up, but I also had lots of time to do trial and error with my skincare and diet. The biggest things for me were: yoga/meditation, cutting back dairy, cutting back gluten, and taking hormone balancing supplements. I take ashwagandha, zinc, magnesium, chromium, turmeric, Atlantic kelp, apple cider vinegar, and green tea.
I’ve done all this asides cutting the dairy and gluten - I think I have an intolerance! I need to be more strict with the supplements as well. Glad I saw your comment ! How long do you think until you saw results?
I wish I had the money for all those supplements. I watched so many of these videos and took something from all of them and my list is basically everything you listed, but I would go broke if I wanted to take all of them at the same time ughhh. Why do doctors only prescribe the pill or antibiotics but not supplements like these?!?!?
@@blablaablaba1786 I have tried both powder form and in a capsule of ashwagandha. I don’t notice a difference between either method. It has a bit of a bitter taste so I prefer to take capsules. I take it twice a day. Once in the morning and once after dinner, but before bed. It’s meant to be relaxing and calming for your body, so that your stress response is lowered. Less stress = better skin and better body!
Acupuncture has been such a game changer for me, I know depending on where you are, and if you have insurance coverage or not it can be expensive. But it’s genuinely helped me more than I could ever imagine.
As someone who has also experienced the same acne struggles and is finally slowly getting clearer skin, i definitely recommend everybody to purchase or intake nutritional supplements or drinks like the one she purchased. I have been fasting for months now and it was definitely clearing up my skin and is healing my scars. Never lose hope cause getting clear skin again is very much possible. You just have to have patience. I did research on the root cause of my acne and found out that i have a fatty liver. It is a condition normally caused by alcohol intake and bad eating habits. As someone who is addicted to sweets and was taking pills for years because of never ending cough that i never understood, i definitely recommend solving acne from the inside. Personally, i have been drinking vibrant coffee, vitamin c, zinc (this is key), and diluted apple cider vinegar. These are my key products.
@@jeromeschneider552 I don't know what Fem21 is but I take Puritan's Pride Zinc for Acne for my acne. It has vitamin A, C, E, B6, and zinc which is all good for skin or health in general. I just cut it in half using a pill cutter to prevent toxicity. Worked really well, and is probably the most helpful for acne out of the drinks and supplements I have ever taken. But I also have a healthy diet though.
I can relate to this. My skin is highly prone to breakouts after the consumption of sugar. If I go above ~20 grams of sugar I usually wake up with 2-4 new whiteheads the following day. And yet I see my co-workers casually having a soda or energy drink (+50 grams of sugar) everyday and yet somehow have clear skin. I'm guessing it's a sign of an underlying condition from the gut or hormonal issues.
What helped for me: -NO MAKEUP (just eye makeup and a little bit of concealer) - at first it was very hard, but it was worth it! -yoga, pilates and walking - before I was doing more strength training - more fat in my diet - before I was avoiding fat (I'm vegan btw) - meditation and stress management - I think it is probably the most important - only water on my face in the morning, in the evening I'm removing make up from the eyes with some apricot seed oil, and whole face I'm cleaning with delicate soap. Sometimes I'm putting some cream from the pharmacy when I have some spots I had been struggling with my face for about 14 years. Now it's better than ever with this routine. Don't give up! 🥰
wow the timing of this is crazy! it’s only been since lockdown that I’ve had bad skin issues for the first time and I just don’t know what the cause is. So interesting to hear your journey and think about different approaches
Wow, what an inspiring journey to clear skin in just 8 weeks! Your natural approach is so refreshing, and I can’t wait to try some of these tips myself. Thanks for sharing your experience and positivity-definitely something I wish I had seen earlier too!
To me it sounds like you weren’t battling acne. You were battling whole body inflammation, with acne as one symptom. This is why the supplement powder and the stress management were so helpful. The skincare routine was icing on the cake to help heal the active eruptions while taking care of the root cause of inflammation took care of future eruptions before they occurred.
THANK YOU for sharing your struggle with acne. Watching this - I Literally felt stressed left off of me. I Can’t wait to try the supplement products. I hope I have as much success with them as you did. Blessings to you.
This gave me some hope and then heard about black kohosh: you should have a liver test every 3 months if you take something with this in it just to make sure your liver is okay. No hate at all just want everyone to be happy and healthy :)
Sophie, I absolutely love you - you are my day brightener! Have you ever done a house tour video? Every time I see your house in the background I want to see more because I love your space! Anyways, love you girl - thank you for what you do!!
Your skin is looking Amazing girlie!! I know how frustrating it is going to Naturopaths and getting no answers! Soo glad you cleared it naturally beauty! 😍🙌🏻
Stoked for you! Best feeling ever. x I’m going through a similar journey and in the past few months my skin has started clearing up after starting to take a probiotic supplement (Jarrow Formula) as well as drinking lemon water every morning.. mine is definitely a hormonal/digestive issue
The stress of moving away from home and then having a breakup along with hormone changes when I turned 20 - hit my skin pretty hard. After I got my hormones + stress under control and started taking women’s multivitamins for hair skin and nails, and after stripping my skincare down to the bare minimum, my skin finally cleared. It just takes patience and consistency. We are all beautiful regardless
This video is such perfect timing for me today! I just came back from the dermatologist who told me there’s no testing for acne causes and tried to put me on accutane. That’s a hard no from me!! I’m going to try your advice :)
@@nadnad8328 Almost clear skin, no dermatologist needed! What really helped me so far is: reducing stress (this was the biggest one for me, I didn't realize how stressed I was so I started going to therapy), eating more vegetables, having an esthetician make a skincare routine for me (I need someone to keep me accountable to being consistent with skincare products and not switching out and trying new products all the time lol). I tried the supplements but my stomach is very picky and did not like them, but the vitality switch tasted so good!
I don’t trust these sponsored videos , everyone’s body is different ! Meditate, relax and use ice on your face , in this hectic world acne and hair fall is becoming common it might be hormonal or genetic but lots of times because of the environment! No hate love the video 💞
THANK YOU SOPHIE! i have been struggling with some acne since october 2020 and today you have given me so much help and info to get inspired and heal! you are an angel 🥰
Thank you for sharing this, it really helps me a lot! I love your mentality that it’s all about balance bc balance = healthy! I totally support this mentality and Giiirl you’re skin is glowing now, appreciate how far you’ve come it really inspires me to work for that but don’t overwork myself which is what I used to do, I’m finding my balance rn ❤️
The Ordinary product is one of my favorites too! I struggled pretty bad from acne for a while and was trying a bunch of different products but i’ve finally narrowed it down to a simple skincare routine that i learned from a youtube skincare by hyram who know a lot about it, and my skin has cleared up a lot since.
i’m currently crying & stressing because idk what kind of acne i got....my skin use to look clean from a distance when i would look at myself in the mirror...& when i would look at myself closer i would see all the lil red dots....NOW...the acne is actually noticeable when i look at myself from far away & up close:/
yall update..my acne is gone gone.I still have a bit of scarring but its not as bad as it was a few weeks ago!I started applying tomatoe everyday (morning & night) & i started using this one soap from mexico called Lirio(i use to have bad acne in elementary too & i used that soap & it worked so good for me but i stopped using it because i wanted to try out the “esponjabon soap bar” which is the reason i started breaking out again)anyways ..& then i also applied this one cream after called nunn care.
Well, your advice is so good for people that are older than me. I’m a 14-year-old girl I have so much acne and blackheads and my parents don’t have that much money and they can’t buy me the stuff that you bought for your skin.
Just saw your comment about this not being sponsored and now I feel bad, like I said, I wasn’t coming from a place of hate!! Just hard to trust people on the internet now a days, thank you for this video!!
I've always had bad skin. And caved at 19, got on the pill. Skin cleared up completely. Went off the pill this year bc of health reasons. Skin is back to "normal" aka bad condition. Dermatlogist didn't help at all. Thanks for addressing this in your video. I can't take any skin are advice seriously if the person is on hormonal birth control or not disclosing if they are. Because back when I used to take it, I could have used watever products cause my skin was perfect.
I’ve struggled with cystic acne since the age of 12. Everything I tried from diets to whatever else never helped. Years later I went on Roaccutane. It really did clear my skin completely. Roaccutane does have some horrible side effects though. I do still get breakouts from time to time which does still stress me out. I find when eating oily/fatty foods or even sugar definitely makes me break out. Thanks so much for this vlog and for been so open about your skin/acne
My beloved had the sames issues while i had some for my back, this is what helped her : - physical activity + good water + detoxing foods (some salads while avoiding processed meats) so the metabolism can purge out the overload impurities - increased hygiene for clothing and avoid harsh/dry soap during showers, instead gentle soap like alep soap and the makeup cleaner for the face did good - keeping very clean bed clothings - practice regular massages with soft coton to wash out - the pill sure bring some issues with hormones among other things, it whacks the body self-regulatory system creating unpredictable effects on some peoples Regular maintenance of good habits bring the long term changes once the detox and hormonal flux is sorted out. The skin is like the iceberg, it reflect the outer layers of various processes expressed within that can sometime be part of becoming adult or entertaining problematic lifestyle.
Be aware that niacinamide can really breakout with the high percentage of it in the serum, like Ordinary has. Study's show that 2-4% is the 'perfect' percentage for the skin. So either look for a serum with 2-4% or a day/night cream with a percentage niacinamide in it.
@@jessicalund1720 I think she is just explaining the high concentration of niacinamide within the Ordinary product and that ppl should be careful when using it because it can cause you to breakout. Since, niacinimade isn't meant to target and cure acne but helps with textured skin.
@@Kikisdiary. Heyy girl! Personally: I did quit after a couple of weeks with pure niacinamide. Now I do use a good hydrating creme with a lower percentage niacinamide in it (La Roche Posay Effaclar), and I have a dry skin with acne (cystic mostly). My skin hasn't been so good since a year... So, if these breakouts last longer dan 6 weeks, I would recommend using a lower percentage niacinamide, somewhere between 2-4% (studies have shown this percentage is most effective).
@@Kikisdiary. With percentage I mean th concentration of niacinamide. So, a lot of serums are 10%, that's a higher percentage, and you're skin needs to get used to.
The video hasn’t even ended and I’ve already purchased Fem21 😅 Hoping this works as well for me as it does for you! Your skin is glowingggg ✨ Thank you for sharing this xx
Some things that are helping me deal with my acne right now is heating water on the stove till you see steam out of the pot and just don’t touch the pan or the hot water but put your face by it and let the steam soak in and after that then go in with cold water when your cleansing because steam opens up your pores so you can get all those particles and dirt away and cold water washes them away hope this helped XD
Alpha Arbutin 2% from the Ordinary .It helps so much with the red or black spots left from your pimples .Also a salicylic acid cleanser or treatment made my skin look a lot better .It helps with texture and it prevents breakouts
i've just started doing aloevera this past week after i cleanse my face and my skin has miraculously been sooooo much better.... aloevera is way underated...
You’re literally explaining everything I’ve experienced with my skin and I use la roche posay and the ordinary serums specifically mainly the niacimanide on a nightly basis I’ve also been using the la roche posay skin barrier cream n ordinary skin barrier serum cuz I needed to heal my skin from with in too with considering how sensitive it is at them same time n these products do that. But imma try those drinks and things you said cuz my skin still isn’t all good still struggling a lil but it’s definitely a lot better than before like so much better. I’m glad I found this video❤
Acne tips: acne/ allergic reactions always comes from within… so you are what you eat. Check up your hormones and gut! Do not use aggressive products for your skin! Do not touch your face and read about microbiom. Check up you vitamins: do a mineral analysis. Do meditation or yoga to calm down when you have stress. Stress also affects the skin ♡
@@SophieJayne ahh thank you for replying xx I’m just wary because I’ve tried so many things that people have recommended because they were sponsored and none worked 😅
I've been trying to find a way to clear my skin from the inside out as well, my skin seems to thrive in the summer but every winter it gets pretty bad and I am once again trying to figure out how to clear it. This product sounds great and I would love to try it, just need to find a canadian version or something i think because I'm not sure i can get it from australia.
Check our hyram's channel, he talks about different products that work for different skin types. He also talks about different times on years. He's literally the only person I can trust with my skin
Gacha Isadora thanks, yeah i should check out more of his videos! my friend got me on the cerave cleanser/moisturizer because of him and that’s helped a lot, just need a way to balance the hormones now i guess? lol
Your acne can be caused by dryness in the winter. I know that when we have oily skin we don't want to moisturize thinking that the skin will get more oily, but i have acne because of dry skin in the winter too 😊 keep your skin protected from the wind and cold, drink lots of water and use moisturizer everyday
@@alicelopes6698 yeah that's something that definitely helped me I think, I moisturize every morning/evening now as I have very dry skin and I didn't use to do that in the past. and I definitely need to drink more water hahah i think most of what I have left is hormonal, which could mean I'm not getting the same nutrients that I get in the summertime possibly. i don't know every time I think I'm onto something it doesn't really pan out lol
@@arielkalyan Hey, this was my case too and although I still have pimples and acne, it's not severe as it was the last 3 winters. I started drinking vitamin D because during the winter there is less sun and I rarely go out. I have also been drinking cod liver oil during last 9 months so that could have some influence as well. Another thing about winter is dryness of the skin. Very popular ingredient in hydrating products is hyaluronic acid because it binds water but if you live in a dry climate, it will have an opposite effect - it will retain water FROM your skin and make it even dryer. My solution is applying (green tea and tea tree) toner before a serum with hyaluronic acid. Also, after applying a moisturizer I use some kind of oil which is good for acne prone skin: jojoba, squalane etc. which prevents leaving the moisture out of my skin. The remaining breakouts are probably from diet, stress and possibly hormones, but I am working on those things as well.
New subbie!! I have never heard anyone talk about this product! I’m actually on hormone medication because my hormones weren’t balanced. My acne was actually pretty similar to yours. Im going to look into this product & give it a try!! Thank you! 💕 What editor do you use?
A hormonal balance powder I take is called Alani Nu and is also really good. Its improved my skin and tastes good:)) it’s sugar, vegan, and gluten free!!
It's been like more than two years since I got acne and it has affected me so much but I'm starting korean skincare next month, I'm soo excited I really feel like this is going to be it
I’m suffering from breakouts for two yrs now, and I’m very conscious about it. I envy my friends bcoz they have clear skin despite being into stress unlike me :( i feel very ugly.
Your beautiful as you are Don’t envy anyone ppl hide so much behind closed doors Don’t compare yourself to others and be greatful with what you have while you work on what you want😘
I have a similar problem. My friends have beautiful skin and im jealous about it, but you have to belive in yourself. People will like you because of your character, not your beauty. Its all in your mind. You've got it girl! I believe in you

I completely agree that watching skin videos really helps because ever since I hit puberty I have gotten acne and I am 23 now I'm still dealing with acne and dealing with acne for so long really ruins your self esteem and I've struggled with severe depression and my family keeps telling me don't watch those videos, you're just making your depression worse and they don't understand that the reason why I watch these videos is because it reminds me that I'm not alone because I truly do feel alone. none of my friends have acne. my family members never dealt with acne. I'm the first one to really struggle with it so watching those videos and seeing people struggle with the same things as I do and overcoming them really helps.
Yesss
definitely go to your doctor and ask for benzoyl peroxide. ignore people telling you that its as easy as washing your face, changing your diet and drinking water because its not. acne is an infection and its different to pimples that you might get at that time of the month or if you have lactose intolerance or bad hygiene. its one of the most common but most difficult conditions to get rid of. Benzoyl Peroxide works well because it kills the bacteria that causes acne - and whats even better is that your skin doesn't get used to it and stop working like most other topical treatments! you can use it however many times and it doesn't lose its effectiveness :) and please don't let people make you feel ashamed of your acne, I'm also going through it and its so mentally draining - just know that its never your fault and you can't help it, I hope it gets better soon because I know how hard it is to suffer from acne
@@hannahbanana9901 i just want to say thank you for taking your time in creating this super long paragraph to help others. much love from me and also btw God loves you 🤎

Girl just drink lots of water and wash your face 5 to 6 times a day u will get clear akin . I did the same and got clear skin
Maybe it will work ! I'll give it a try

@@Kuwtk.777 5 to 6 times ?? wont that make my skin too dry ?
Tips:
-Know your skin type and skin concerns and if you need help, search up videos or do research and or see a dermatologist to get the products you’re looking for.
-Do NOT use ice on your face, it can make your skin more sensitive.
-I recommend using a chemical exfoliant for longer effects rather than physical.
-If you use a towel to dry please pat your skin instead of rubbing it.
-Do NOT use paper towels or tissues on your face to clean. (Recommend reusable cotton pads)
-Stay hydrated! (Although it’s not scientifically proven that it will help the skin but it should be essential to you every day already)
-ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN
-For sheet masks, it should be a 1 only use so please don’t reuse the sheet masks and serum inside for the face.
-Be aware of skincare DIYS
-Use reusable cotton pads so you can wash them instead of throwing them away.
-Never use scrubs for your face.
-Don’t touch your face a lot since your hands can be dirty.
-Wash your pillows/bedsheets often like once a week or so.
-Clean the things you touch every 1-2 months.
-For sheet masks only do the maximum of 15 minutes.
The only steps you need in skincare:
-Micellar Water with a cotton pad (if you have makeup)
-Cleansing oil or balm (if you have very oily skin or have makeup)
-Cleanser
-Moisturizer
-Sunscreen
Skincare steps with extras:
Extras = *
Daytime-
-Cleanser
*Toner
*Serum (please check which serums you use if it’s for AM or PM)
-Moisturizer
-Sunscreen
Nighttime-
-Cleansing oil or balm (if you have very oily skin or have makeup)
-Cleanser
*exfoliator (chemical or physical)
*Toner
*Serum
*Sheet mask
-Moisturizer
This is just a small comment but I hope it helps!
Oh, small reminder it can also be your diet and the food you consume too so be on the lookout for that :D
OMGG THANK YOUUU!!!
Bro I used ice on my face for a few minutes and a few hours later my cheeks were RED and raised and looked like I had burns (good thing I didn’t and it faded within two days but it was NOT a good idea)
thank you for including that. Stay smart 😂💕
Thank you soo mucchhh
These tips are all really great! However the do not use ice thing isn’t true! It actually depends on your skin type! It’s really good for clearing your skin and reducing inflammation
@@grayghosts that’s actually the increased blood circulation! It’s supposed to that :D

My skin finally cleared up and then we had to start wearing masks 😩
I recommend getting a few cotton masks, switching them up and washing after every wear and maybe putting some baby powder on the bottom part of your face (chin, upper lip, nose...). This is what helps me not breakout while wearing a mask. Now, I think the powder is safe enough for the skin (mine is doing good), I haven’t had any breakouts in this area that came from wearing a mask. If you wear makeup (which I usually do, but very light), I recommend finishing off with some powder (translucent or in color). My skin is oily in the T-zone, so I don’t have problems with my cheeks, but if you do, I’m guessing this would work on the cheeks as well.
Hope this helps, feel free to try it out and see for a while. Let me know how it goes! ☺️
@@ninasimic8457 thanks for the tip with putting on baby powder, I’ll try that one out 😊
Unfortunately we have a mask mandate in my country now that only allows us to wear medically approved masks, so no more cotton masks for me... 😬
This happened to me too!!!!!!
@@ninasimic8457 doesn’t work if you work in healthcare and have to use the disposable ones for 12.5hrs per shift lol 🙃

I’ve been struggling with acne for over two years now and I’ve had a similar experience. My acne mainly goes up and down, and sometimes it goes to kinda-clear-ish but that only lasts for two days at a time every week and never at a good time. It’s amazing that you finally cleared your skin and it’s given me a bit of hope.
Same dear
I have also been having a very acne prone skin for more than two years now
same ive had up and down skin for a couple years, sometimes its okay, sometimes I really hate it but even when it's breakout free theres still marks and uneven-ness. i j want clear skinnnnn
Being someone who has struggled with acne-riddled skin for over 5 years now, I had eventually just given up and accepted it as fact. I've been on 6/7 variations of skin pills including going on Roaccutane twice and the pill once and nothing has worked. I have been playing with the idea of trying again with healing my skin and then BOOM UA-cam did it again and recommended your video! Thanks for the really motivating video, my strength to fight my skin has now been restored! Time to get clear skin! Who's with me?
i feel you. nowadays i have better my skin than last month but i just accepted that in two months i’ll have the same baaaad skin as i used to have. it’s a fact. it sucks but well... other people have other problems... 😩
@@danimarti650 Just because other people have problems doesn’t mean your problems aren’t as significant! Skin is such a trouble that many of us are in the same boat. My skin also does the same☹️ but it’s going to change! It has to...
Try niacinamide and the red thing from ordinary if you havent already
Roaccutane is used to get rid of hormonal acne. A severe case of acne. So it won’t work for everyone if you have merely acne that comes and go with time.

Having acne after having a clear skin is a nightmare
before when i had clear skin i didn’t really cared about my skin however now with all the pimples and acne i just wanna go back to my normal skin….so the one thing to learn from this is that what u have now just take care of it at your level best so you don’t have to regret it afterwards👍
my skin has always been super clear and ive always taken good care of it. now all of the sudden 2 months ago started breaking out terribly and my skin has never been dryer or more sensitive
@@faerynreilly Its good that you cared about your skin before having acne so well done for that👍 however Sometimes things doesn’t go as we plan to, this does not mean this days will not get better again soo remember that better and bright days are ahead to come….one more thing if you want to ask any questions about acne, I will for sure reply👍I have acne myself and its actually getting better thank god for that✨
I remember when I had clear skin I didn’t even wash my face, use moisturizer and no sunscreen. I remember my friends had acne and they used to call me lucky and I used to be like, just wash your face your skin will clear. On UA-cam I remember sometimes getting video recommendations on how to clear your skin and I would just roll my eyes and think to myself that it wasn’t that hard. But now that I have acne that has been on my face for 3 years now and won’t go away I understand the pain. I feel like I was so ungrateful for my perfect skin.
@@jeetvijay3060hey, can you please tell me if your acne got better? If so what did you use and how lon did it take to completely go away? (Scars and hyper pigmentation included) please i need this, i'm really struggling with this too right now and i don't know what triggered it, i always had clear and healthy skin...
@@abdellahelmansori4446 snap! I am at a lost cause at the moment and the impact it has on confidence and mental health is insane. Its crazy how skin changes from one month to the next.

Had acne since I was 11 and I’m turning 20 in a week! I’m loosing my shit. I hope someday I’ll have clear skin🥺
Have you ever had your hormones tested? I found out recently that i had high testosterone that was causing my lifelong acne. ive been taking supplements to lower my testosterone and it has definitely helped!

Manuka honey! MANUKA HONEY! It is quite expensive and I hate the taste but it is so good for you and it rlly is all natural. I usually put it on my face as a mask or in my teas but it fights bacteria and u can rlly see a difference in a week.
if you really want to have a clear skin i suggest you go read about how to heal skin barrier and how to heal your gut these 2 are the main reason for your acne if you heal these 2 things you will have the skin as you have before puberty
@@mgm_w what supplements do you use to lower the testosterone?
1. Limit stress
2. Find a skincare routine that works for you

** UPDATE ** DOWN BELOW THIS !!
Literally last night while I was washing my face, I looked at my face and just felt so disgusted of my acne ruining my confidence and my poor face. So I cried myself to sleep lol just praying for change to my face! This morning I came across this video and OMG I am so excited to try these products and hope my face will love it!! I’ve never seen someone who knows the struggle and how much money we put into our face to feel confident again. Thank you and I’m so excited to get these products and praying to feel beautiful again! 💕☺️
*** UPDATE *** May 2nd
I started drinking the powder she recommended and let me tell you, it was horrible!!! I drank it with water ones a week because I couldn’t take drinking it everyday lol. So far I don’t see massive results with the powder. With skincare it worked in the beginning, but still had acne and wouldn’t go away. So I went to sephora and I met an amazing woman who helped me find my skincare products for my acne. She was so real with me and made me feel confident. What made me more happy and confident was when she told me if she can see my face so she knows what she’s working with ( i obviously had my mask on lol ) so I showed her and she told me “ you’re to beautiful to have acne” 🥲 So she recommended me the brand First Aid Beauty and WOW my acne was GONE within 4 weeks!!! As of today I just have acne scars from my previous acne, but NO active acne!! NONE!!!
Omg SAME!!!
same im crying right now im 16 and had bad acne since 10 and my parents and dermatologist wont do shit about it
Good on ya for finding the video, I don’t think crying all night will make it disappear
Hopefully you get better !! I understand that feeling, this past three months I went to a dermatologist and currently it has helped me so much hopefully in three months I’ll have clear skin, because it ruined my confidence too, I didn’t even want to look myself in the mirror.
@@JaKe_Mendoza 🤍
I also cleared my skin during quarantine! I’m sure it had to do with not wearing make up, but I also had lots of time to do trial and error with my skincare and diet. The biggest things for me were: yoga/meditation, cutting back dairy, cutting back gluten, and taking hormone balancing supplements. I take ashwagandha, zinc, magnesium, chromium, turmeric, Atlantic kelp, apple cider vinegar, and green tea.
you go girl : ) !!!!!
How u use ashwaghanda? Can u list exactly how u take the supplements for the hormonal balance?
I’ve done all this asides cutting the dairy and gluten - I think I have an intolerance! I need to be more strict with the supplements as well. Glad I saw your comment ! How long do you think until you saw results?
I wish I had the money for all those supplements. I watched so many of these videos and took something from all of them and my list is basically everything you listed, but I would go broke if I wanted to take all of them at the same time ughhh. Why do doctors only prescribe the pill or antibiotics but not supplements like these?!?!?
@@blablaablaba1786 I have tried both powder form and in a capsule of ashwagandha. I don’t notice a difference between either method. It has a bit of a bitter taste so I prefer to take capsules. I take it twice a day. Once in the morning and once after dinner, but before bed. It’s meant to be relaxing and calming for your body, so that your stress response is lowered. Less stress = better skin and better body!
The prettiest people have always gone through or have acne.
Acupuncture has been such a game changer for me, I know depending on where you are, and if you have insurance coverage or not it can be expensive. But it’s genuinely helped me more than I could ever imagine.
ahh yes I did try acupuncture for about 6 months and it didn't seem to do much for me, so so glad it worked so well for you!
As someone who has also experienced the same acne struggles and is finally slowly getting clearer skin, i definitely recommend everybody to purchase or intake nutritional supplements or drinks like the one she purchased. I have been fasting for months now and it was definitely clearing up my skin and is healing my scars. Never lose hope cause getting clear skin again is very much possible. You just have to have patience. I did research on the root cause of my acne and found out that i have a fatty liver. It is a condition normally caused by alcohol intake and bad eating habits. As someone who is addicted to sweets and was taking pills for years because of never ending cough that i never understood, i definitely recommend solving acne from the inside. Personally, i have been drinking vibrant coffee, vitamin c, zinc (this is key), and diluted apple cider vinegar. These are my key products.
help please what did you use to get rid of acne
I have a question. Is there a supplement like Fem21 for Men?
@@jeromeschneider552 I don't know what Fem21 is but I take Puritan's Pride Zinc for Acne for my acne. It has vitamin A, C, E, B6, and zinc which is all good for skin or health in general. I just cut it in half using a pill cutter to prevent toxicity. Worked really well, and is probably the most helpful for acne out of the drinks and supplements I have ever taken. But I also have a healthy diet though.

What did you use or do to help your skin clear up? :)
@@Sasha_xo I used products by La Roche Posay and drank tons and tons of water and stopped wearing foundation :)
My friends can eat anything and their skin is glowing. If I drink 1 Coca Cola, I wake up with bad skin ://
same ! it’s so annoying i c ant even eat a mini chocolate fun sized bar 🙄
Same omg!
I can relate to this. My skin is highly prone to breakouts after the consumption of sugar. If I go above ~20 grams of sugar I usually wake up with 2-4 new whiteheads the following day. And yet I see my co-workers casually having a soda or energy drink (+50 grams of sugar) everyday and yet somehow have clear skin. I'm guessing it's a sign of an underlying condition from the gut or hormonal issues.
SO HAPPYYYY FOR YOU SOPH!! Absolutely glowing girl 😍😍😍
I just love you ❤️

So so glad beautiful girl ❤️
*who else thinks Sophie is so inspirational? 😍 always inspires me with my channel! 🥰😍*
Thank you!
What helped for me:
-NO MAKEUP (just eye makeup and a little bit of concealer) - at first it was very hard, but it was worth it!
-yoga, pilates and walking - before I was doing more strength training
- more fat in my diet - before I was avoiding fat (I'm vegan btw)
- meditation and stress management - I think it is probably the most important
- only water on my face in the morning, in the evening I'm removing make up from the eyes with some apricot seed oil, and whole face I'm cleaning with delicate soap. Sometimes I'm putting some cream from the pharmacy when I have some spots
I had been struggling with my face for about 14 years. Now it's better than ever with this routine.
Don't give up! 🥰

To me it sounds like you weren’t battling acne. You were battling whole body inflammation, with acne as one symptom. This is why the supplement powder and the stress management were so helpful. The skincare routine was icing on the cake to help heal the active eruptions while taking care of the root cause of inflammation took care of future eruptions before they occurred.
the fem 21 really works my skin isn’t as greasy and i don’t breakout, but i drink it alone with water & it’s not as bad as they say

After I got my hormones + stress under control and started taking women’s multivitamins for hair skin and nails, and after stripping my skincare down to the bare minimum, my skin finally cleared. It just takes patience and consistency. We are all beautiful regardless
This video is such perfect timing for me today! I just came back from the dermatologist who told me there’s no testing for acne causes and tried to put me on accutane. That’s a hard no from me!! I’m going to try your advice :)
How are you please
@@nadnad8328 Almost clear skin, no dermatologist needed! What really helped me so far is: reducing stress (this was the biggest one for me, I didn't realize how stressed I was so I started going to therapy), eating more vegetables, having an esthetician make a skincare routine for me (I need someone to keep me accountable to being consistent with skincare products and not switching out and trying new products all the time lol). I tried the supplements but my stomach is very picky and did not like them, but the vitality switch tasted so good!
Heyy! I also said no to accutane and started going natural! It is helping clear my skin to some level (just a week in to natural treatment)

I've always had bad skin. And caved at 19, got on the pill. Skin cleared up completely. Went off the pill this year bc of health reasons. Skin is back to "normal" aka bad condition. Dermatlogist didn't help at all.
Thanks for addressing this in your video. I can't take any skin are advice seriously if the person is on hormonal birth control or not disclosing if they are. Because back when I used to take it, I could have used watever products cause my skin was perfect.
Love how informative this is 🥰
So glad you enjoyed ❤️☺️
I’ve struggled with cystic acne since the age of 12. Everything I tried from diets to whatever else never helped. Years later I went on Roaccutane. It really did clear my skin completely. Roaccutane does have some horrible side effects though. I do still get breakouts from time to time which does still stress me out. I find when eating oily/fatty foods or even sugar definitely makes me break out. Thanks so much for this vlog and for been so open about your skin/acne
Thanks gurl! I’m for sure going to try this mix! The ordinary rosehip seed oil is 💣!!
My beloved had the sames issues while i had some for my back, this is what helped her :
- physical activity + good water + detoxing foods (some salads while avoiding processed meats) so the metabolism can purge out the overload impurities
- increased hygiene for clothing and avoid harsh/dry soap during showers, instead gentle soap like alep soap and the makeup cleaner for the face did good
- keeping very clean bed clothings
- practice regular massages with soft coton to wash out
- the pill sure bring some issues with hormones among other things, it whacks the body self-regulatory system creating unpredictable effects on some peoples
Regular maintenance of good habits bring the long term changes once the detox and hormonal flux is sorted out. The skin is like the iceberg, it reflect the outer layers of various processes expressed within that can sometime be part of becoming adult or entertaining problematic lifestyle.
Be aware that niacinamide can really breakout with the high percentage of it in the serum, like Ordinary has. Study's show that 2-4% is the 'perfect' percentage for the skin. So either look for a serum with 2-4% or a day/night cream with a percentage niacinamide in it.
This comment doesn’t make sense. Are you talking about purge period?
@@jessicalund1720 I think she is just explaining the high concentration of niacinamide within the Ordinary product and that ppl should be careful when using it because it can cause you to breakout. Since, niacinimade isn't meant to target and cure acne but helps with textured skin.
Omg I’m breaking out so much after using niacinamide 😭please help should I stop using it or it’s just a skin purging
@@Kikisdiary. Heyy girl! Personally: I did quit after a couple of weeks with pure niacinamide. Now I do use a good hydrating creme with a lower percentage niacinamide in it (La Roche Posay Effaclar), and I have a dry skin with acne (cystic mostly). My skin hasn't been so good since a year...
So, if these breakouts last longer dan 6 weeks, I would recommend using a lower percentage niacinamide, somewhere between 2-4% (studies have shown this percentage is most effective).
@@Kikisdiary. With percentage I mean th concentration of niacinamide. So, a lot of serums are 10%, that's a higher percentage, and you're skin needs to get used to.
Yas finally someone who talks about manuka honey its so effective
The video hasn’t even ended and I’ve already purchased Fem21 😅

Any updates?
Did it work?
Some things that are helping me deal with my acne right now is heating water on the stove till you see steam out of the pot and just don’t touch the pan or the hot water but put your face by it and let the steam soak in and after that then go in with cold water when your cleansing because steam opens up your pores so you can get all those particles and dirt away and cold water washes them away hope this helped XD
Alpha Arbutin 2% from the Ordinary .It helps so much with the red or black spots left from your pimples .Also a salicylic acid cleanser or treatment made my skin look a lot better .It helps with texture and it prevents breakouts
You best believe i’m about to go and buy these two products!
Any updates??
Natural aloevera has really helped my skin both with acne and scars. Definitely do try!!!

i've just started doing aloevera this past week after i cleanse my face and my skin has miraculously been sooooo much better.... aloevera is way underated...
This helped me so much and i had a big realization😌
I still struggle with acne, but taking fem21 has definitely reduced it ♡
You’re literally explaining everything I’ve experienced with my skin and I use la roche posay and the ordinary serums specifically mainly the niacimanide on a nightly basis I’ve also been using the la roche posay skin barrier cream n ordinary skin barrier serum cuz I needed to heal my skin from with in too with considering how sensitive it is at them same time n these products do that. But imma try those drinks and things you said cuz my skin still isn’t all good still struggling a lil but it’s definitely a lot better than before like so much better. I’m glad I found this video❤

Acne tips: acne/ allergic reactions always comes from within… so you are what you eat. Check up your hormones and gut! Do not use aggressive products for your skin! Do not touch your face and read about microbiom. Check up you vitamins: do a mineral analysis. Do meditation or yoga to calm down when you have stress. Stress also affects the skin ♡
Antipodes is pronounced an-tip-o-dees 🥰 I’ve just bought Fem21. Can’t wait to try!

@@SophieJayne ahh thank you for replying xx I’m just wary because I’ve tried so many things that people have recommended because they were sponsored and none worked 😅
Has it helped you so far?
there is alot of acne videos but am trust you on this one,
I've been trying to find a way to clear my skin from the inside out as well, my skin seems to thrive in the summer but every winter it gets pretty bad and I am once again trying to figure out how to clear it. This product sounds great and I would love to try it, just need to find a canadian version or something i think because I'm not sure i can get it from australia.
Check our hyram's channel, he talks about different products that work for different skin types. He also talks about different times on years. He's literally the only person I can trust with my skin
Gacha Isadora thanks, yeah i should check out more of his videos! my friend got me on the cerave cleanser/moisturizer because of him and that’s helped a lot, just need a way to balance the hormones now i guess? lol
Your acne can be caused by dryness in the winter. I know that when we have oily skin we don't want to moisturize thinking that the skin will get more oily, but i have acne because of dry skin in the winter too 😊 keep your skin protected from the wind and cold, drink lots of water and use moisturizer everyday
@@alicelopes6698 yeah that's something that definitely helped me I think, I moisturize every morning/evening now as I have very dry skin and I didn't use to do that in the past. and I definitely need to drink more water hahah
i think most of what I have left is hormonal, which could mean I'm not getting the same nutrients that I get in the summertime possibly. i don't know every time I think I'm onto something it doesn't really pan out lol
@@arielkalyan Hey, this was my case too and although I still have pimples and acne, it's not severe as it was the last 3 winters. I started drinking vitamin D because during the winter there is less sun and I rarely go out. I have also been drinking cod liver oil during last 9 months so that could have some influence as well.
Another thing about winter is dryness of the skin. Very popular ingredient in hydrating products is hyaluronic acid because it binds water but if you live in a dry climate, it will have an opposite effect - it will retain water FROM your skin and make it even dryer. My solution is applying (green tea and tea tree) toner before a serum with hyaluronic acid. Also, after applying a moisturizer I use some kind of oil which is good for acne prone skin: jojoba, squalane etc. which prevents leaving the moisture out of my skin.
The remaining breakouts are probably from diet, stress and possibly hormones, but I am working on those things as well.
Once my skin gets clear I’m be so confident
New subbie!! I have never heard anyone talk about this product! I’m actually on hormone medication because my hormones weren’t balanced. My acne was actually pretty similar to yours. Im going to look into this product & give it a try!! Thank you! 💕
What editor do you use?
ahh welcome lovely girl!!
I use final cut pro xx
how is it going? does it work so far?
A hormonal balance powder I take is called Alani Nu and is also really good. Its improved my skin and tastes good:)) it’s sugar, vegan, and gluten free!!
It's been like more than two years since I got acne and it has affected me so much but I'm starting korean skincare next month, I'm soo excited I really feel like this is going to be it
I’m suffering from breakouts for two yrs now, and I’m very conscious about it. I envy my friends bcoz they have clear skin despite being into stress unlike me :( i feel very ugly.
Dark spots on the moon weren't able to ruin its beauty. You're beautiful no matter what.
Your beautiful as you are
Don’t envy anyone ppl hide so much behind closed doors
Don’t compare yourself to others and be greatful with what you have while you work on what you want😘
I have a similar problem. My friends have beautiful skin and im jealous about it, but you have to belive in yourself. People will like you because of your character, not your beauty. Its all in your mind. You've got it girl! I believe in you
