Here's What Pokimane Looks Like Without Makeup

Pokimane admitted she goes the extra mile to take good care of her skin. On her YouTube channel, she posted a lengthy video detailing her intricate skincare routine. She never had skin issues growing up, sharing that it was "one of the pillars of my self-esteem." But when she reached her early 20s, that's when her complexion began acting up. "I started having quite a few skin issues that I just could not seem to fix, like acne, bumps on my forehead, all this stuff, and it made my self-esteem [downward gesture]," she said.

Through experimentation, the social media star was able to come up with a skincare routine that works for her, and even found a secret ingredient that eradicated her skin problems. Her beauty regimen included double cleansing at night with a balm, using an array of serums, occasional masking, and using copious amounts of sunscreen. And the one ingredient that she swears by? Benzoyl peroxide. "I tried so many things to get rid of the bumps that I had ... but nothing really cleared my skin up like a really good benzoyl peroxide cream," she said.

Pokimane wants to remind everyone, though, that no matter how many products you slab all over your face, there will be imperfections that will always be there, and you have to learn to embrace them. "I think there's too many things that we try to fix that are just a normal part of being a human being," she said. "Of course, try to use skincare for progression however you can, but do keep in mind, what is this standard or goal that you're trying to achieve? And is it really realistic?"
