even if you have oily skin, you need to moisturize your skin. if you don't, your skin will become dehydrated beneath the surface, and will produce more oil to compensate, leading to breakouts.
Yeah, that may be true, but it depends of the kinda texture of the 'moisturizing' product. Dry skins need thick creamy moisturizers with lots of emollients, plant oils and thickeners. But oily skin needs just a light serum or gel. If you have oily skin you should not look for the therm 'oil free', because even if it not contains actual 'oils', it still can have pore clogging ingredients such as certain thickening agents or emollients.
@MaddieGracep ... Search for products in a base of Water, Sillicone, Glycerin and Butylene Glycol, Which are very good light hydrators, but which cannot clog pores or irritate skin.
Also make sure you dont strip your skin with too strong irritating cleansers and hot water. Also not use toners with alochol because they will dry out and irritate your skin to make more oils
Remember, irritating ingredients (Alcohol, menthol, lemon..) will cause more oil production.
Although it is a bit too much, I CAN'T deny the fact that Michelle has one of the best skin I've ever seen on YouTube gurus... even in close-up shots.
@TheBeutifulDizzasta I know.. not hating on michelle phan skin.. but before her skin was not that great looking to look at when she went bare.. but now it looks a lot better since she def take care her skin.. but kandee johnson always had nice skin.. she did a lot of close up shots without any makeup.. that girl skin is flawless.. =)
your videos are so USEFUL! my question, should I exfoliate every night? I thought it's not good to use it that frequent, since it's dries the skin from it's natural oils, true?
Im doing a skin care routine video and I agree with everything you said, I dont believe in using like too many kinds of moisturizer that does the same thing or too many kinds of serum, Im not a dermatologist but I like to read and do research on what works best and I like know about ingredients and stuff. I will definitely put a link of this video on my video when I put it up
I really appreciate that your tutorials are always very well informed and straight to the point. You've actually explained the different ingredients and which skin types they were intended for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Salicylic and citric acids are beta hydroxys. BHA's. They actually push through oil plugs(blackheads) while AHA's(glycolic and lactic) dissolve the glue that holds skin cells together. A combination is sometimes good. Try Murad.
What products would you recommend?? I am currently looking for a good skin care routine for anti aging or for dry skin. I have been doing alot of research to look for the right products. If you have some you recommend please share!! Thank you!
i love him and his videos are very 'light' and informative and straight to the point. not to mention he always says 'to each's own'. as a fan of michelle phan, whichever works for her (and others) best, it doesnt matter.
@stariod What kind of product? You can find BHA in many different products like acne treatment, cleanser, moisturizer. Most drugstore anti-acne products have BHA in it. It's either BHA or Benzoyl Peroxide. Check out Neutrogeno, Clean & Clear, Biore, Aveeno... The active ingredient is always on the bottle or tube (check for Salicylic acid instead of BHA).
If I missed something, I'm sorry. I wanted to ask - how are your facial exercises going? Your cheeks look firm (ha ha). Are you still doing those. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Could you please be so kind and make a second part for this topic in which you name some products you know as examples for the steps you are mentioning? Please? That would help so much! There are so many products on the market and being no professional it is very confusing and time consuming to try them all... :-) plus there are some mishaps sometimes with "less good" products ;-P
I love u was feeling so inadequate after watching "that video" and wondering if I needed to buy a ton of stuff to "layer" happy happy happy that it's not the case x
Hi I really hope you get this comment and respond! Where did you get the vanity mirror you have in your videos? I can see it in the reflection of the mirror on the wall lol and it is exactly what I am looking for my makeup tutorials. Thanks
One question, how would you layer serum and night moisturiser? Serum first, right? If so, how long should I let that sink it before I apply my moisturiser?
Sometimes oily skin is that way because it needs moisture. The skin overproduces as kind of a "self-protecting" defense mechanism. A lot of oily people find they are less oily when using moisturizer (for oily skin, of course). I definitely experienced that. I thought because I was oily that meant my skin was moisturized enough. Not true. Otherwise I enjoyed & agreed with your video! :)
@TheBffaeaa: I use sweet almond oil! I have fairly dry skin that's also sensitive, and that's the one thing I've found that makes it manageable. Cheap, too!
I have really dry skin, so every night after I wash my face I apply organic coconut cream 100% virgin coconut oil. It does wonders, it even helps with my breakouts!
I swear by oil cleansers, google OCM (oil cleansing method) it does wonders for your skin. Oil gets a bad rap. but it's one of the best things for our skin. You can moisturize with jojoba oil. Just add a couple of drops 2-5 to damp skin. If you have oily skin this will balance it out, because your skin feels the oil so it doesn't produce anymore. You must give your skin time to regulate itself tho, give this a try you will be glad you did.
Jojoba oil is good for normal to dry skin. Cranberry oil is AMAZING for oily/acne prone to dry skin. Macadamia nut oil is wonderful for really dry skin. Just make sure the oils are cold pressed and unrefined. U can find then online. When u use harsh cleansers or moisturizers it just makes your skin produce more oil, by adding oil to your skin it will balance you out. Remember to add the oil to DAMP skin. I know oil sounds scary but just give it a try and see for yourself.
I used creme de la mer for the last 6 years and to be honest i got sick of the ever rising price. Ive now changed my moisturier to ROC's MULTICORREXION Moisturiser and i wish id of changed ages ago, its amazing stuff for a fraction of the price.
@Alioop9a Thayers unscented aloe/witch hazel toner is great. You can make your own (ten times better than witch hazel) with apple cider vinegar, it makes a great toner, excellent for acne. 1 ounce vinegar, 2-3 ounces distilled water (or green tea). If green tea is used instead of water, keep it in the fridge to preserve the anti-oxidants. I promise you will love this toner and it will help with any blemishes. If you have very sensitive skin use less vinegar. Hope this helps :-)
Your advice is good sound advice Wayne. I'm a beauty therapist and you ticked all the boxes with the correct information. Can I borrow you to give aftercare to my clients lol x
hi wayne i just would like to know you said that use retinol and after that use a moisturizer.... i would like to know if the moisturizer is after the retinol is absorbed into the skin or the next morning after washing your face.....and if any good moisturizer would do....please do reply...thanks
LOL - I know who you're referring to! Michelle Phan's video was way too gimmicky and I feel bad for anyone who might've watched it and followed her advice.
Also please please please let people know that if they are using exfoliating acids or anything with retinol in it, they need to be applying and reapplying sunscreen during the day. Acids thin the protective barriers in the skin and most aging comes from the sun!
It would be great if you made the video a bit longer and suggested products for each step... i know everyone's skin will react differently, but just in general what brands or specific products you know of which work?
I have been a fan of Paula Begoun for over 10 years and it looks like you are too. I think it is wonderful that someone else is finally "preaching the gospel" of Paula. If I could get everyone I meet to listen to her and/or use her products (I'm in R.N. school), I would be so pleased. I would recommend referring your viewers to Paula's web site or books because she does provide more specific information regarding ingredients and also references the specific studies that quotes.
i think everyone should use a moisturizer, even if they have oily skin. moisturizer prevent wrinkles. and a good color-free, fragrance-free toner is witch hazel.
btw I always have thought I have oily/normal skin but now it became really dry, and cames off at some spaces (eg. cheeks) I do use cosmetics for sensitive skin and exfolite regulary. But nothing helps, in fact. Could you possibly recommend some moisturiser for it? It would be very heplful! I can't even wear make up nowdays, as after 3hrs it peels off. Is there any hope???
Haha I know who this guru is cos I was shocked at this supposedly knowledgable person layer a zillion serums and moisturisers on their face :-/ not even allowing to sink in anyway .... Seriously there's no need for that much stuff on your skin! I couldn't believe it ... It was ridiculous! Your advice is v helpful Wayne :) thankssss
I can hardly use make up (and I watch you...silly me), I only use foundation....because I will experience breakouts quite often, even in my eye area. "Non-comedogenic" and "for acne-prone skin" is only a suggestion. How would a youtube "guru" label that?! Ultra-sensitive skin!? It is so frustating having my skin...
There's so many youtube gurus that say that they sensitive skin...Bullsh*t...They use a ton of products without having a bad reaction to it...My skin is very acne prone, BHA and AHA burn on my skin, BP burns even more, a lot of the sunscreens I tried make my skin red and irritated, it was hard to find a cleanser that did not irritate my skin. Moistuizers (without BHA, AHA, essential oils...) for sensitive skin quite often burn on me too ( I only use it sometimes in the winter in my forehead).
i don't want to sound stupid but i don't know what retonal is :/ i love your short and sweet vids and i know you do not like just recommending one product but can you do a video on this please xoxo
@bettyyoung78 I was debating whether to get Mary Kay products or not but if you do some googling, you can see what terrible stuff (parabens, etc.) are in MK's products! It makes sense as MK tries so hard to not share the products' ingredients on the website. I'm not saying you shouldn't use them as they may do wonders for your skin; but if you're really into knowing what you put on your skin, I suggest you do some research on the products :0)
I have always had normal to oily skin. Now that I am older I use a moisturizer all the time because I don't like that tight skin feeling I get after I have cleasned my face. I use two different formulas for cleansing and moisturizing. One is for the winter time when I need more moisture for my face and one for the summer months when adding too much moisture makes my face look too oily. And it has been said that people with oily skin have less wrinkles! Yeah, a positive for oily skin!
You always talk about skin communicating ingredients and antioxidants.. but how to know if a certain product conteins these ingredients? The ingredients' name on labels often are unfathomable. Would you make a video explaining which of these are good for the skin and which are just "stuff"?
gr8 video once again u are so informative.. this is the same as my skin care routine recently as i found dermtv.com on YT if u havent checked him out u should u would really like him.. he's a derm my skin has changed dramatically.. also just a little note 4 u he says to use a ret @ dif times then an exfoliant :)
The reason why this issue is yet unsolved is because there isn't really any straight answer. One thing for sure: oil and water are two different things. I strongly believe that the amount of one doesn't affect the amount of the other. If your skin overproduces oil, that doesn't automatically mean that your skin has lots of water inside itself, that only means that if your skin looks or feels dehydrated, then you'll have to use oil free moisturizer, because your skin already has enough oil!
My question is those with oily skin (like myself) who want to use an everyday sunblock, what kind would you recommend? Most sunblocks are quite greasy or have moisturizing ingredients, so what would be the best way to have sunblock w/out over-moisturizing? Or would you still recommend moisturizing in the daytime?
@c2yoshi Avene Cleanance spf 30, La Roche Posay Ac Anthelios spf 30 and Hyseké are the only ones (that I've tried) that I can use every single day without irritating or clogging my pores. Hyseké is a bit shiny and all of them leave a bit of a white cast:( . I use foundation on top of my sunscreen (I wait 30 min and then apply it) so this is not a big problem. The only sunscreens with a spf>25 that don't leave a white cast (on me) are tinted or come as a light beige colour.
hey, Wayne! So what happened to that experiment you were doing a little over a month ago to test if by doing some exercise for your facial muscle would make you look younger. You promised some before and after shots. Just wondering how that went. Thanks :)
Just to let you know , i saw stream the video today in my 52inch tv and you look so handsome my small phone screens dosesnt show how nice you really look!
In my opinion, Witch Hazel is an AMAZING toner to use! Doesn't tighten my skin in the least. Only thing is it smells awful, but there's not added fragrance.
I think I know which "guru" you are referring to and she doesn't really need to give correct info (sadly) she's all about the views she gets, and a big check. I think the majority of her viewers don't care that her info is accurate, they just want to be her "fan"!
Oh, and just to comment on what some people have said about oily skin being dehydrated... While I'm sure that's true for some, I really don't see how it can be assumed that ALL oily skin is dehydrated. I used to have VERY oily skin... the oiliest I've ever seen, and it was far from dehydrated! Now it is normal/dry, but I'll never forget how my skin felt when it would get oily on top of the moisturizer I wore because people told me I needed it. It was terrible! Even oil-free stuff was gross!
What would you suggest about under eye products? I'm almost 35 and starting to get tiny little lines under my eyes (no crows feet yet *knock on wood*) and I'd like to get rid of them or at the very least, keep them from getting worse, as best as I can. Suggestions? Thanks! :)
as an oily skin sufferer I can promise you that is you have oily skin then you can easily do without a night time moisturizer. I never use one. Now as for the extra oily skin one gets its not lack of moisture in your skin causing it... its you have dried out your skin so much with what ever you are using you have ticked it off!! Go out and find a more gentle way of washing your skin and you will not break out. Seriously I am 43 years old and cannot use a night time moisturizer....
Hi Wayne, just wanted to say i totally agree with you about not needing a moisturiser if your skin is very oily. I used to use moisturisers religiously because of all the media and hype about EVERYONE needing to moisturise. A skin specialist I recently saw banned me from using any moisturisers, and guess what, my skin is now finally acne free (and that's after suffering from acne for the past 8 years of my life!)
what about if you have normal/oily skin and you don`t wanna put make-up on without anything underneath?? I`m not sure but I don`t think that`s very good for your skin if you don`t use a base :p should I just use an oil free cream or is a primer good enough??
Finally a skincare routine that sounds normal!!I've seen so many gurus use tons of products and i always wonder how can so many products used all at once be good for the skin ?
What products do you recommend for dry sensitive skin? :)
i have acne-prone skin and i always had trouble finding a good toner that wont break me out, but i finally decided to buy a 100% organic witchhazel with lavender toner from the organic shop and i love it! if anyone else has troubled skin, try switching some products to organic, its paraben-free too! (this is not an advert lol, just some friendly advice)
Yeah I agree with a few other commenters here. My skin is combination and my t-zone gets very very oily but it is more often than not also dry at the same time. I've found that using a rich moisturiser to treat the dryness has no negative affect on my oilyness at all and I wouldn't be able to go without moisture even in summer months. I think it's down to finding the right moisturiser though and right skincare in general.
I totally agree with you and my acne has gone just by using benzoyl peroxide like you said in a previous video, you can't imagine how thankful I am :)
@Betty4gators, toners rebalance the ph level of the skin (it's gets all thrown off after cleansing ). They're a very good thing to use if you have oily skin. If I don't use mine after cleansing I will wake up with extremely oily skin.

i use a toner at the moment because it came in this huge kit i ordered but what does it do? i feel it does nothing but with you recommending it makes me want to keep using it - can you tell me what a toner does? thanks!
could you do a video on recommendation from all sorts of brands eg origins, elemis, high street that meet these criterias because i cant tell if a cleanser is water soluble or not...it would be a great help :D
I do exactly what Wayne said in vid,for about 6 moths now.acids,antioxidans and high sun protection.I'm 33 and almost no wrinkles no brown spots etc.so that realy works! thanks for this "tutorial".best wishes from Poland:)
thanks for the video. i have combination skin. shall i forget about moisturizer on my t-zone at all? serums and moisturizers are good for my cheeks only. can i use anything on my t-zone besides mattifying hydrating fluid or shall i better leave it absolutely bare?
I'm starting to get obsessive with my genetic eyebags which appear more like holes under my eyes. I am only 23! Any advice on the best way to prevent them getting worse? Should i focus on firming the skin or massaging the crap out of it to keep the blood circulating :P
This is so useful! Though I have to admit, apart from the removing make up part, this is my morning routine!
My dermatologist found some really good AHA/BHA 12% fluid by Natinuel company. It's hard to find, very sticky on my skin, but works miracles. Though I always need to use make up afterwards, if I don't want to look like somebody just rubbed up beetroot on my face...
@Sarah20461 i hear this alot - but i've yet to see a published study showing that apply moisturiser to oily skin helps. show me the studies and i'm happy to correct :) always :) x
I'm throwing in some acne medication isntead of retinol at the moment. I have been breaking out like crazy because of traveling and my skin getting use to a different climate lol. I use 2 moisturizers (one for the eyes, one for the face) as well as retinol. I don't use toner at night. I don't exfoliate at night.
Finally! You are the first person that has said if you have oily skin then you can skip a moisturizer. I have always said why add more oil to your face if it produces enough on it's own. I'm glad someone agrees with me, lol.
@gossmakeupartist Oil is different from water. Moisturizers add water and lock up the water to make sure that your skin is not dehydrated of water during the day in the heat......oil has got to do with the glands which does not have the same function as a moisturizer.
She used 9 products at night time and she said Asian girls use more than that. When I heard that, I was like' What?' I grow up in Asia but I only use cleanser, toner and moisturizer at night.
I am so glad you posted this video! I saw the video you mentioned and could not believe all the things she put on her skin. Your way seems so much more effective! I was just wondering, what are some of your favorite skin care products? Some suggestions would be great! I have combination skin.
Hi, I have adult acne and my dermatologist gave me only a cleansing lotion for morning and night, a cream to fight the acne and he told me to use moisturizer only when I need it. The best thing is to ask your doctor about a specific skin care routine for you, at the end you will save a lot of money.
@gossmakeupartist Oil levels and hydration are two different issues. Not all oily skin is dehydrated, just like not all dry skin is dehydtared. If you have dehydrated skin and the best thing to do is drink more water. Using an oil free moisturizer on oily and dehydrated skin will help in the short term, but it is treating the symptoms, not the cause. I say this as a licensed esthetician.
@esbonney This is so true!! I went to an esthetician and she said that my cheek area was a little dehydrated but the other areas of my face were okay. I do have oily t-zone area. Drinking plenty of water during the day definitely helps out but moisturizing is key!
@gossmakeupartist Also dehydrated skin usually means a product in one's skincare is too stripping, as it is removing too much of the skin's natural oils. It can also be the weather.. or a combination of both. So yeah, there is definitely such a thing as oily skin that's dehydrated. Haha.
@carlsonlf yea i agree. there is most definitely a thing such as dehydrated oily skin.. i know someone who refuses to drink the required amt of liquids per day and has an oil slicked face.. just because the glands are over producing oils doesnt mean it's well hydrated, thats why they advise that oily skins shuold STILL moisturize.
kinda confusing but it exist.. sorry if im abit off on the subject, but Goss you are just tooooo handsomeee *drools*
@MillaLi22 you are absolutely right. I have oily skin that is dehydrated. On days that i drink lots of water my skin is less oily and supple. otherwise it is an oil slick. I do moisturize if I don't then it gets even more oily. :)
even if you have oily skin, you need to moisturize your skin. if you don't, your skin will become dehydrated beneath the surface, and will produce more oil to compensate, leading to breakouts.

If green tea is used instead of water, keep it in the fridge to preserve the anti-oxidants. I promise you will love this toner and it will help with any blemishes. If you have very sensitive skin use less vinegar. Hope this helps :-)

Hi Wayne,
I have been a fan of Paula Begoun for over 10 years and it looks like you are too. I think it is wonderful that someone else is finally "preaching the gospel" of Paula. If I could get everyone I meet to listen to her and/or use her products (I'm in R.N. school), I would be so pleased. I would recommend referring your viewers to Paula's web site or books because she does provide more specific information regarding ingredients and also references the specific studies that quotes.

btw I always have thought I have oily/normal skin but now it became really dry, and cames off at some spaces (eg. cheeks) I do use cosmetics for sensitive skin and exfolite regulary. But nothing helps, in fact. Could you possibly recommend some moisturiser for it? It would be very heplful! I can't even wear make up nowdays, as after 3hrs it peels off. Is there any hope???

I can hardly use make up (and I watch you...silly me), I only use foundation....because I will experience breakouts quite often, even in my eye area. "Non-comedogenic" and "for acne-prone skin" is only a suggestion. How would a youtube "guru" label that?! Ultra-sensitive skin!? It is so frustating having my skin...
ccacPT 11 months ago
There's so many youtube gurus that say that they sensitive skin...Bullsh*t...They use a ton of products without having a bad reaction to it...My skin is very acne prone, BHA and AHA burn on my skin, BP burns even more, a lot of the sunscreens I tried make my skin red and irritated, it was hard to find a cleanser that did not irritate my skin. Moistuizers (without BHA, AHA, essential oils...) for sensitive skin quite often burn on me too ( I only use it sometimes in the winter in my forehead).

I'm not saying you shouldn't use them as they may do wonders for your skin; but if you're really into knowing what you put on your skin, I suggest you do some research on the products :0)

I have always had normal to oily skin. Now that I am older I use a moisturizer all the time because I don't like that tight skin feeling I get after I have cleasned my face. I use two different formulas for cleansing and moisturizing. One is for the winter time when I need more moisture for my face and one for the summer months when adding too much moisture makes my face look too oily. And it has been said that people with oily skin have less wrinkles! Yeah, a positive for oily skin!

chars411 11 months ago
The reason why this issue is yet unsolved is because there isn't really any straight answer. One thing for sure: oil and water are two different things. I strongly believe that the amount of one doesn't affect the amount of the other. If your skin overproduces oil, that doesn't automatically mean that your skin has lots of water inside itself, that only means that if your skin looks or feels dehydrated, then you'll have to use oil free moisturizer, because your skin already has enough oil!
ivanuzzo81 11 months ago 2
My question is those with oily skin (like myself) who want to use an everyday sunblock, what kind would you recommend? Most sunblocks are quite greasy or have moisturizing ingredients, so what would be the best way to have sunblock w/out over-moisturizing? Or would you still recommend moisturizing in the daytime?

@c2yoshi Avene Cleanance spf 30, La Roche Posay Ac Anthelios spf 30 and Hyseké are the only ones (that I've tried) that I can use every single day without irritating or clogging my pores. Hyseké is a bit shiny and all of them leave a bit of a white cast:( . I use foundation on top of my sunscreen (I wait 30 min and then apply it) so this is not a big problem. The only sunscreens with a spf>25 that don't leave a white cast (on me) are tinted or come as a light beige colour.

Oh, and just to comment on what some people have said about oily skin being dehydrated... While I'm sure that's true for some, I really don't see how it can be assumed that ALL oily skin is dehydrated. I used to have VERY oily skin... the oiliest I've ever seen, and it was far from dehydrated! Now it is normal/dry, but I'll never forget how my skin felt when it would get oily on top of the moisturizer I wore because people told me I needed it. It was terrible! Even oil-free stuff was gross!

What would you suggest about under eye products? I'm almost 35 and starting to get tiny little lines under my eyes (no crows feet yet *knock on wood*) and I'd like to get rid of them or at the very least, keep them from getting worse, as best as I can. Suggestions? Thanks! :)
KaaarenLynn 11 months ago
as an oily skin sufferer I can promise you that is you have oily skin then you can easily do without a night time moisturizer. I never use one. Now as for the extra oily skin one gets its not lack of moisture in your skin causing it... its you have dried out your skin so much with what ever you are using you have ticked it off!! Go out and find a more gentle way of washing your skin and you will not break out. Seriously I am 43 years old and cannot use a night time moisturizer....
debbiepeter 11 months ago
Hi Wayne, just wanted to say i totally agree with you about not needing a moisturiser if your skin is very oily. I used to use moisturisers religiously because of all the media and hype about EVERYONE needing to moisturise. A skin specialist I recently saw banned me from using any moisturisers, and guess what, my skin is now finally acne free (and that's after suffering from acne for the past 8 years of my life!)

(this is not an advert lol, just some friendly advice)
aulae 11 months ago
Yeah I agree with a few other commenters here. My skin is combination and my t-zone gets very very oily but it is more often than not also dry at the same time. I've found that using a rich moisturiser to treat the dryness has no negative affect on my oilyness at all and I wouldn't be able to go without moisture even in summer months. I think it's down to finding the right moisturiser though and right skincare in general.

@Betty4gators, toners rebalance the ph level of the skin (it's gets all thrown off after cleansing ). They're a very good thing to use if you have oily skin. If I don't use mine after cleansing I will wake up with extremely oily skin.

Hi, I have adult acne and my dermatologist gave me only a cleansing lotion for morning and night, a cream to fight the acne and he told me to use moisturizer only when I need it.

gossmakeupartist 11 months ago 27
@gossmakeupartist Oil levels and hydration are two different issues. Not all oily skin is dehydrated, just like not all dry skin is dehydtared. If you have dehydrated skin and the best thing to do is drink more water. Using an oil free moisturizer on oily and dehydrated skin will help in the short term, but it is treating the symptoms, not the cause. I say this as a licensed esthetician.

@gossmakeupartist Also dehydrated skin usually means a product in one's skincare is too stripping, as it is removing too much of the skin's natural oils. It can also be the weather.. or a combination of both. So yeah, there is definitely such a thing as oily skin that's dehydrated. Haha.

@carlsonlf yea i agree. there is most definitely a thing such as dehydrated oily skin.. i know someone who refuses to drink the required amt of liquids per day and has an oil slicked face.. just because the glands are over producing oils doesnt mean it's well hydrated, thats why they advise that oily skins shuold STILL moisturize.
kinda confusing but it exist.. sorry if im abit off on the subject, but Goss you are just tooooo handsomeee *drools*
