Skincare routines are absolutely everywhere and promise everything.
For a price.
But are they really all they’re cracked up to be?
In this video I’m going to explain:-
1) why you DON’T need to spend loads of money on expensive skincare products
2) which products you should use to have healthy skin, AND
3) why you don’t actually need to spend anything in order to have great looking and feeling skin.

Why wasn’t the moisturiser friends with the exfoliator?
It just rubbed him up the wrong way!

The Only Skincare Routine You Actually Need | Dr Karan

Soap and water. Sometimes just water. Good food and good sleep.
Job done.
I'll keep my multi step Korean routine. The main thing people need to understand is what products to use when the skin is acting differently due to season, hormones, or just aging, then knowing to adjust products.
Less is more
LOL
Welp I've only ever used 2-3 products but my acne problem is still pretty bad. I'm going to a dermatologist
This is what I need 5 years ago.
Much appreciated, this has helped me out a ton.
Seen the worst logic of some women- look for vegan and organic food, organic makeup but heed no care for organic skin.
I used to have a crazy skincare routine and I also routinely broke out in painful pimples, also experienced facial eczema 😢 then I started washing my face with a plain, unscented bar of soap (crazy) and only moisturising, no toners or anything. I used a moisturiser safe for babies and people with eczema, and at night I slapped on petroleum jelly on the areas I would get eczema. I have had ZERO breakouts since this routine, and my skin has not become inflamed, itchy, or red. I also eat a lot of whole foods, exercise, and get good sleep. I think wellness requires a holistic approach, love this vid!🙌
Eff you and retinol it bured my skin barrier off it took me. Year to heal NEVER USE RETINOL ON YOUR FACE IT CAUSES BLURY VISION AND BURNS SKIN BARRIER CAUSES CHEMICALS BURNA
