Korean skincare routine + best products for acne-prone skin

Hi guys, a lot of you guys have issued interest in my previous healthy skin journey videos

and I wanted to give you guys an update on my current routine. Lately, the weather in Korea has been getting hotter and more humid

I've noticed my skin becoming oiler and breaking out its small pimples and whiteheads

especially around my nose and forehead. If you clicked on this video, it's likely you are experiencing similar issues

due to changes in your environment, hormones or diet. It's tough because we simply can't just change these factors

However, there's one thing we can change right now to solve acne and if you've been following my videos, you might guess it

It's managing the oil water balance of our skin and controlling excess oil production

Maintaining this balance is crucial for all skin types, regardless of age or environment

Proper management can not only help with acne but also keep your skin healthy overall

A lot of people have been asking for a video about acne skincare and I've spent a long time preparing this one

While I've covered teenage skin and acne care in previous videos, today's focus will be solely on managing your skin's oil water balance to prevent acne and soothed skin breakouts

First, let's understand the boris factors that can disrupt your skin's oil water balance and oil production. Environment

Dry and cold conditions can reduce your skin's moisture while hot humid settings increase oil production

Lifestyle and diet Not drinking enough water or consuming too much caffeine, alcohol, or sugary drinks can dehydrate your skin

Foods high in flour, dairy, or sugar can increase oiliness. Hormonal changes and stress

Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and other hormonal changes or even stress can affect your hormonal balance

and either increase oiliness or weaken your skin barrier leading to moisture loss Skin barrier damage Overexpurgating or using strong products can damage your skin natural barrier leading to inclected sensitivity

and moisture loss. And the last thing I wanna emphasize most of these factors is using the Warong Moisturizer

for your skin. When you use the Warong Moisturizer, your skin doesn't get enough moisture

and your skin produce more oil to make up for the lack of moisture

This excess oil combined with the skin cells and inflammation, eventually leads to skin breakouts such as acne, blackheads, and whiteheads

If you are unsure which moisturizer is like for you, for acne prone, oily, or combination

skin types, if you live in a hot and humid environment, or are experiencing hormonal

changes, choose a lightweight moisturizer with high water content that doesn't clog pores

I've recently discovered a moisturizer that's excellent for this, especially in the current

warm weather after using it extensively i found it not only helps balance oil and water in the skin

but also soothes my acne effectively i'm excited to share more about this moisturizer in today's

video because i think it could really help those of you struggling with similar skin issues

this is the number gene number one pathogenic acid b5 active skin cream for those who don't know

about number gene is one of the skincare brands that is actually popular both in korea and overseas

It has a light, gale-like texture that applies smoothly and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky feeling

It doesn't feel like it's moisturizing only on the outside, but rather it fills the skin with just a light amount of moisture from the inside as well

It doesn't feel dry or oily after application, so it's great for both morning and night

So the reason why this cream is so good for acne skin is that while having all the soothing and mild and moisturizing properties common in all creams for acne skin It has an ingredient that is essential for controlling excess oil production

which I said before is probably the biggest culprit for acne breakouts

This ingredient is called the pantatonic acid, commonly known as vitamin B5

If you are someone who's been struggling with acne for some time, then you probably know about

this ingredient as a lot of people actually take inner supplements with it to reduce frickels

I've done some research on it and it is really a super ingredient for acne prone skin. Its main

benefits are control oil production. It promotes a proper metabolism of peric acid which are

essential components of the serum. Anti-inflammatory. Reduce redness, swelling, irritation so it aids in

healing existing acne and prevents new acne. Protect skin barrier. Trangles it and promotes

hydration. Strong skin barrier protects the skin from external damage. In addition to pantalose

exit, this cream features Exegiro and Sephora root extract soot and dilimidated acne and niacinamide

to fade acne marks. When we talk about moisturization, we must not skip the importance of

proper hydration. Here is how it works. First, with the help of toner and a hydrating serum

you give hydration to the skin deep into the pores and then with a moisturizer you lock it so that it

doesn't escape from your skin the serum that i'm absolutely loving to use with this cream is this

number one pantatonic b5 active soothing serum they both are designed similarly and are perfect

to be used as a set i think it's a relatively new launch in korea too but just after i saw

posts about it i had to try right away and it's just so good these two products are like a match

What I love about this serum is that it is highly effective in dealing with acne while being super light and hydrating I tested many serums and most of them are either developed to target specific skin problems

but some of them are usually either too heavy or harsh on my skin, or super light but without

having specific effects on skin. But this serum has a perfect balance of both and is perfect to

use all year round but especially summer since it's very light and absorbs quickly it contains

the same patatonic acid as the number one cream to further aid in regulating excess oil along with

an immune nutrient beta glucan to strengthen the damaged skin barrier also it contains various

hydrating ingredients that promise to provide seven second instant hydration to skin if you

want to further up the controlling of excess oil on your skin then sometimes i use this powder the

the number one pentatonic b5 active drying powder. It has a higher concentration of pentatonic acid

You use this by mixing this powder with the cream or use a Q-tip to apply it on your acne

I sometimes just put a pimple patch on top of the powder before I go to sleep

When I used it before sleep on one side of my face, the difference was really evident

compared to the side where I didn't use it. Also, when I applied only on the acne area

the next day it's almost gone. I was so shocked. So I definitely recommend this product

for people with oily skin as an extra add-on. Just an extra tip

You can also mix it into your regular modeling pack or enzyme cleanser and it works great

So I hope this video helped you guys to understand the importance of proper moisturization

and regulating the oil water balance of your skin. If you are interested in these Numbo Gym projects
