Trying 10-Step Routines from YouTube? Read This First

“Trying 10-Step Routines from YouTube? Read This First”

By Dr. Mohd Rizwan Khan

-------------

You watched a YouTube video.

A skincare influencer shows her 10-step night routine.

It looks so relaxing… serums, mists, jade roller, double cleansing, sleeping mask — everything.

You feel:

“Maybe that’s what my skin needs too!”

But wait.

Before you buy 10 products and follow the same steps…

Here’s what you need to know.

⸻

🌟 The Promise vs. The Reality

What YouTube shows:

👉 Clear glowing skin

👉 Relaxing routines

👉 “Glass skin” in a week

What really happens for most people:

❌ Confusion

❌ Breakouts

❌ Wasted money

❌ No real improvement

Why? Because your skin isn’t their skin.

⸻

🧴10 Steps, But for What Skin Type?

The YouTuber might be:

• Korean, with different weather, lifestyle, diet

• Living in a city with less pollution

• Using products not even available in India

• Wearing heavy makeup daily (so double cleansing makes sense for them)

Your skin might be:

• Oily, acne-prone

• Sensitive or reactive

• Living in dry or humid conditions

• Not needing so many layers

Applying 10 products daily on the wrong skin type?

That’s just asking for trouble.

⚠️ Common Issues People Face After Following 10-Step Routines

🧼 Over-cleansing

💧 Product pilling

🔥 Skin sensitivity

🔴 Redness or rashes

💸 Wasting ₹2000–₹4000 on unnecessary products

Some patients at our clinic came with breakouts after trying “glass skin routines” from YouTube.

Most of them were using too many actives together — niacinamide, AHA, BHA, retinol — without knowing how they react.

⸻

✅ What You Actually Need

Let’s keep it real.

Most Indian skin types need:

🌞 Morning:

• Gentle face wash

• Hydrating serum or Vitamin C (optional)

• Moisturiser

• Sunscreen

🌙 Night:

• Cleanser

• Moisturiser

• Active (if needed – as per your concern)

That’s 3–5 steps max.

Not 10.

👨‍⚕️ Dr. Rizwan’s Advice

“Skincare isn’t about how many steps you follow.

It’s about what your skin actually needs.

A 10-step routine might look luxurious — but it’s not needed for everyone.

And when done wrong, it can damage your skin barrier.”

⸻

Still Want to Try a Long Routine?

That’s okay!

But start slow.

🟢 Introduce one product at a time

🟢 Wait for your skin to adjust

🟢 Know your skin type before you follow someone else’s plan

🟢 Always patch test

🟢 Take expert help if you’re unsure

⸻

Final Thought

Don’t copy-paste someone else’s skincare.

Just because it’s trending on YouTube doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Your skin is unique.

It doesn’t need drama — it needs care.
