SKINCARE ROUTINE + ACCUTANE UPDATE (months 1-3)
[Music] good morning everybody and welcome back to my channel so for today’s video I thought that I would share my skincare routine and I’m currently using this is unspun sered and also I thought I would give you guys my little accutane update I don’t know this is gonna get demonetised or not because I am speaking about a prescription drug for acne don’t know but whatever I thought I would share my experience with you all so far I am almost done my third month of accutane if you guys are new my name is Chelsea don’t forget to subscribe for more videos and also don’t forget to follow me on my Instagram if you want to at Chelsea Trevor for more content do I have a hair tie apparently not great start step one is to tie up this mop on my head because we just cannot have that so we’re just gonna go for the high pony right now my go-to look in the morning I will either rinse my face with some lukewarm water or I just skip that and just go in with my toner I’m gonna rinse my face quickly with some lukewarm water in my sink and then we’ll carry on with the next product okay so now my skin is what I’m just gonna let it like slightly arrow dry let’s just get in to my a cutie dream so I have been on accutane now for almost three months my side effects are quite minimal I just have dry lips my hair doesn’t get gritty any more back pain for sure I do feel a lot more sore just from like everyday activities and I would have in the past and that’s really it I did experience some iodine s a bit but it went away and my skin thanks to my amazing skincare she hasn’t really been dry at all so that’s definitely a plus yeah I went on accutane a three months ago from a dermatologist because my acne was so persistent within month one I’ll insert some like video clip so me those I like here something a month one my skin cleared which was nice and I was only on ten milligrams so my amount was really low I also wasn’t on the birth control pill until like a bit into month one so I think that might also be a reason why my skin started breaking out because my body was also adjusting to be on the breath health month 2 & 3 my doctor put me up to 20 milligrams which is still quite low but for my body size I am really small I’m only 5’4 to 100 pounds so that was a good amount for me they didn’t want to put me on too much it’s in my max dosage was 40 milligrams and I immediately started purging a lot more so a lot of acne has come to the surface I’m also breaking out a lot on this side of my face but it’s trying to clear a lot of stuff that was like clogged pores it’s just like like coming out of my face hoping within my four and five I’m gonna notice a lot of clearing up almost been breaking out for one year I think yesterday bring out in July so we’re almost had one year of having acne but before then the skin was really clear for about a year in a bit where I only get like one Pitbull month and it would always just be cystic and then before that I used to get acne here but I never got acting my cheeks ever it’s just the first one in my life I’ve ever had acne on my cheeks and it was not the best time because it when me honey honey and scars okay we’re gonna move on to my next item in my skincare routine this is the lemon cream skin toner and moisturizer I admit I kind of slept on this product I’ve had this in my collection for a couple months and I haven’t really like given it a chance and I love it I’m gonna keep repurchasing this because I love it so much especially in the morning I just like it’s so good just feel like refresh your face so I use in the morning and at night in the morning I kinda just put it in my hand like this it’s got like a really milky consistency and then I’ll just rub it and then just like spot it rub it into my skin and it just provides like the nicest first layer of moisturizing for my skin which I love I learned all about the times in Korea it’s when they’re like top-selling products in South Korea literally sells out all we’re obsessed with it for good reason it’s literally my favorite toner it’s so gentle it doesn’t like strip your skin at all which I need with my um skin reno it’s so sensitive and I just don’t want to strip any moisture from it but yeah if you guys have any questions about accutane you can leave them down below and I’ll try and answer them in like a vlog soon or something because I know a lot of people have a lot of questions about going on it and whatnot a lot of people are scared to go on it I was like so scared to go on it in the beginning like literally terrified and I put it off for so long when I kind of wish I had done it earlier and I’m saying that was somebody who still has acne on their face okay like I’m still breaking out right here and I still wish I had gone on it earlier just because now I know for sure that I am on something that’s gonna help my skin well beforehand it’s like I was playing a guessing game which caused me a lot of stress and anxiety and I’ll just a lot of turmoil turmoil term I’ll how does that work in my head my own head because I was so stressed out about it and now I feel a lot better I also have experienced no depression on it so far which i think is great because I knew that was a side effect my dermatologist warned me that if I had any thing like that happened to like speak up about it but I had so far I’ve experienced none I feel pretty good and yeah I’m really happy now we’re gonna move on to the next part this is something new in my skincare routine that I just tried incorporating I actually ordered a bunch of Korean skincare but I haven’t really started using all of it yet because I want to actually use the products that I have before I start something new and also some of it I’m gonna wait until I’m off onto things I don’t do anything too harsh to my skin right now this is the Newton dermatology real firm it micro serum with microbial fermentation firms skin so this is an intensive gel type termini and 61 percent natural ferment complex and active ingredients like panthenol collagen to help reverse kill our tip elasticity while delivering instant hydration skin range it helps improve skins natural strength for firmer brighter and healthier looking skin nice always take one cup of it like that and then I just rub the product between my hands and then just apply it to my skin this is just a really nice serum for the morning I wanted something just to kind of start targeting my skin a little bit better than just a moisturizer would and I found this doesn’t break me out at all which is amazing and anything that’ll help with collagen in my skin I want to have some glowy healthy skin and also help with my hyperpigmentation because that’s a big problem for me with my acne is however pigmentation I get red dots as you guys can see all over my cheek is just little red dots it’s pretty smooth I don’t have too much indentation so far a couple which I probably will target with micro needling eventually but yeah right now I just have a couple like indent it’s boss but for the most part it’s just hyperpigmentation which you can get rid of thank God I never my moisturizer this is my ride-or-die because my skin is so sensitive to moisturizers even before I had my big acne breakout I found my stressors were very like hit or miss thing with me when it came to breaking me out or just like irritating my skin and this is one that I just will always love this is the Searby moisturizing cream for normal to dry skin it’s fragrance free nhanh kimono john egg and has a bunch of ceramides in here which are always good for you glycerin hug acid it’s just a great product I love this month because it just doesn’t break me out so I just take some in my hand rub it between my hands and then I just start applying it onto my skin and I make sure to take this one for sure down my neck so I do get a lot of dryness there as well can also your neck is one of the first places you start showing age which hello we don’t want that and let me say using serving moisturizers we’ve experienced no dryness out here on that you did my skin doesn’t peel really it doesn’t I can apply makeup on it like normal any excess I always apply onto the to my hand oh that was another side effect that I ought to mention on this hand and on my elbows there was a time when I was kind of bad with my water intake and I got like eczema I think it wasn’t Kazuma it was like a red rash on the back of this hand and I got it on my elbows too but it’s gone now I’ve been really moisturizing my hands and drinking a lot of water and I went away now for my last step in my morning skincare routine I just go in with a sunscreen I don’t have a favorite right now I’m just trying to use this one up because it does expire this September so I wanted to finish it this summer this is the skin suta Kohl’s physical fusion UV defense SPF 50 broad spectrum sunscreen this one does have a bit of a tint to it but it literally covers up nothing the tint is just there for a good time I think it’s just there to make sure you don’t get a wet cast but you want to make sure you apply enough sunscreen that’s gonna be important so I apply some like this on my forehead and then we just start blending it in and wearing sunscreen is really important when you were on accutane because your skin is like a thousand times more sensitive to the Sun I have my SPF 50 body sunscreen right here that I apply whenever I’m going to be outside for an actual periods of time which is not very often but if I am gonna be outside I always apply my sunscreen and to be honest I wasn’t the best sunscreen where ok I’d wear it if I was actually tanning but when I would just be like out and about I would never wear sunscreen because I don’t really burn with my skin tone very often like I have to literally like bake myself to burn and Sun so I like that on my face but like on my body so this is a whole new world for me ok ask me 150 and that’s it for my morning skincare routine other than good old trusty aquaphor if you have been on accutane you know that this is the only thing that saves your lips ok and so far my lips have been ok they peel they’re dry every morning when I wake up no matter how much aquaphor I put on them for a little bit that is my morning skincare routine and I will see y’all in the evening when I do my time routine so see y’all then hello everybody and welcome to the nighttime portion of my skincare routine so I hope that this lighting isn’t too bad it could be kind of bad sorry let’s try and brighten it up a bit so I have a bit of makeup on and we’re gonna remove that first up I always do a double cleanse this is one my favorites I love this stuff it’s the fresh Seabury skin nutrition cleansing oil with protective or fees flower extract removes makeup and softens this one’s really nice it removes everything and it doesn’t really irritate my skin or cause me to break out so I really like it I just take about three pumps of it into the palm of my hand and then I just start massaging it into my face and it just breaks everything down like everything like oh my mascara makes you look a bit crazy but that’s okay I think that’s like a key to preventing breakouts is really making sure that you remove your makeup I’m gonna go wash it off now and then I’ll show you that thing and then next up I just take the SkinCeuticals soothing cleanser and I supply to go into this into my hands and I start massaging that into my face for the next step in my double cleanse and this one’s really nice it’s really foamy which is nice but it’s not like drying like I find a lot of foamy cleansers are just wash this around my face for a little bit before I rinse it off yeah so next up I’m just gonna go in with Olenna cream skin again I know my skin’s really ratty gets really irritated after I wash it and I just apply some of this into my hands again and we’re just smooth this all over our face and then next up I have two products that I’m using for treating my scars so I have the Pierre Thomas Roth Pro strength nice and am i discoloration treatment 50% brightening complex and I also have the Ordinaries organic cold-pressed rosehip seed oil neither of these I’ve noticed anything like huge okay yeah still have my scars this one I find is a bit harsher so I’m only gonna apply it where I’m not currently bringing out which is just a bit this cheek don’t some of my life bigger scars that I got here I just kind of like rub it in and then I just go in with the Ordinaries 100% cold-pressed rose hip seed oil I’m sorry there’s somebody on a mini motorcycle outside is okay guys I just went ahead and applied the rest of my skincare because to be honest I was feeling very self-conscious my skin is looking terrible but I’m just gonna talk you guys through what I did so I applied the Ordinaries rose up seed oil just on my cheeks because I’m how many like not supposed to apply this on any weather has broken skin and I had two little pimples here that like popped so didn’t put any there or on my chin but zit stickers on these I just use the Kosar Exxon’s if you have any zip that’s like popped it’s the best thing to put on them and then I just put on the survey skin renewing night cream this is like the OG it’s so good it has like niacinamide in it and it just keeps my face really really moisturized and I haven’t had any problems with like dry skin because of this I think so I really like it and then on my pimples that are like irritated I just applied some of this penitent cream this is actually like it’s used for like any sort of irritation like dermatitis eczema rashes hyper rash whatever I play this on like pimples I don’t really know if it treats somebody’s like it helps calm them down in Sue’s irritation so I put this on it anything that’s big and I also do like that it covers my pimples cuz it makes me feel better than how to look at them and you know out of sight out of mind and all that and of course on my lips I’m going to apply my good old trusty lifesaver aqua for my my face just out here savor my lips left right and center that is my skincare routine on accutane and this is obviously during the still having acne so maybe I’ll update y’all at the end when my acne is gone was an updated skincare routine for Heidi nice smooth phone scam about all these pimples and I smell like you don’t know if any of you guys are out there struggling with acne I fill you so hard I know it was like to not have acne and I know what it’s like to have it I do think that it has helps me grow as a person I like a lot more humble now and actually I don’t I’m just a lot more humble when it comes to a lot of things especially like acne and people and now how hard it is on your mental health and all that kind of stuff and just how hard it is frustrating and tiring and just it’s really freaking hard and I feel like not enough people talk about it or normalize it and I feel like it’s something that people feel really ashamed of I hope that this was helpful for you I hope you guys enjoyed my update about my skin I know a lot of you have
