Others that I recommend include Cerave’s Gentle Cleanser ( $11), which comes in a lotion-like consistency, Belif’s Creamy Cleansing Moist I also love Liah’s own, from Krave, called the Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser ( $16) – it’s vegan and all natural.

For a Skincare Diet regimen, I used one from Then I Met You, a formula that is super gentle for any skin type. The first step in any skincare regimen is cleansing. I made it through, and my skin totally reset itself. At the end of Sunday night, I didn’t feel my face was greasy at all, rather, felt perfectly clean – though a little dry (I am in Colorado after all). But because I didn’t use a cleanser altogether, my face recalibrated. It was definitely expecting a cleanser to do a thorough job at purging. At first, I felt my skin becoming super oily and trying to overcompensate for what was happening. On a recent Thursday through Monday I felt like an average man in Middle America, living his best lift, eating whatever he wanted, then brushing his teeth and heading to bed.
NO CLEANSING, prescribed Maki, with caps. I tested the Skincare Diet for an entire month and here’s how I did it. I literally achieved my smoothest, clearest skin – and smaller pores! – through putting my face through this process. It’s not Photoshopped, FaceTuned or tweaked in any way. That meant cleansing, toning and moisturizing only – while also skipping cleansing in the mornings with a beauty water or simply my toner.īelow, is a photo after 6 weeks of my Skincare Diet. I then followed a strict Skincare Diet regiment, one recommended by Liah. Of course, being a working professional, this wasn’t possible, so I opted to try this from Thursday to Monday morning. “Make sure you’re not going out or anything,” she told me. To start my reset, Maki instructed that I forego cleansing my entire face for an entire week. (Skincare Diet, anyone? I used a minimal amount of products as shown here. A research study by the National Institutes of Health actually conducted a study that supports this. Turns out that with all of the scrubs, wipes, pads and more, we could be doing more harm than good. Then, there are microbes that are all over our bodies – and face! – that allow us to stay perfectly healthy. There are, of course, bacteria that cause acne breakouts like p. It can also destroy bacteria that’s actually healthy for your skin.
“Over-cleansing dries out your skin,” she says. Most mornings, she skips cleansing altogether and opts just for a toner and a cotton pad. Today, Liah tells me she uses a cleanser, toner and moisturizer only. But it’s only when she developed inflammation and skin sensitivity that she decided to stop using so much altogether. “I used to overdo it with skincare as well,” Liah told me, one day over coffee and pastries. The methodology has been adopted by beauty guru Liah Yoo, founder of Krave Beauty, who recommends her followers “press reset.” Her entire brand comes with three products: a cleanser, toner and SPF. Rather, it’s all about using less and gaining more in the process. The entire idea of becoming more minimal has been trending in South Korea for the past year, where men and women are choosing to forego so many of their products, opting to go on a “Skincare Diet.” The diet has nothing to do with what you eat, like forbidding carbs or tossing out sugar. It was evident that perhaps my skin needed a complete reset. Testing new products make your skin into a battle ground and you end up with cystic acne, inflammation, and more when a random nuclear ingredient explodes into your pores. And it’s obviously had a toll on my complexion. J-Beauty, after all, is being more thoughtful about your regimen and feeding it only what it needs.įor the past few years, I’d been testing retinols, Vitamin C’s, new moisturizers, creams, you name it. “When you feed your skin too much, it expects it and stops working hard on its own.” To her, skincare is all about minimal effort and maximum results, more of a Japanese method of skincare. While examining my skin she said that it looked fine, but could be better. “You’re doing too much,” she explained, surprised by my extensive 10-step K-beauty regimen.

Maki isn’t some 20-something Glossier model who was #bornwithit, rather, a working mother in her 40’s who’s always on-the-go. So bouncy and plump that when people discover her actual age they’re completely shook. Her skin glistens, it glows and looks like a perfectly glazed donut.
My friend Maki Ryoke, a NYC-based makeup artist, has the best complexion of anyone I know.
