      I think 10-20 years ago medical grade products used to have some interesting molecules, or in higher concentration. But with brands such as TO and the popularity of Asian skincare a lot of actives are now available in easily available products. Although for deep care, the high concentration peels, and of course the luxury feel I'd go to an esthetician.

    When I worked at a beauty supply shop I never cared much for Dermalogica and surprisingly neither did aestheticians/dermatologists who would come in. Their biggest gripe with it (Other than the ridiculous cost) was that a lot of their products contain essential oil, plant extracts or fragrances and that it just isn't what it used to be back when it was first founded. Interesting to hear that straight from aesthetician and dermatologists and what a relief that good, reliable skin care is often much easier and cheaper for all of us 💙

    I am 44 years and I would never ditch my vitamin c serum. I suffer from hyperpigmentation, sunspots ect . I have tried every vitamin c serum out there and wasn’t until I tried the OBAGI vitamin c serum that I saw results. I use the 20% and Apply only in morning. I follow up with a peptide cream and my sunscreen as usual. It’s faded my hyperpigmentation and and even reduced fine lines. Wish it wasn’t so expensive, but a little goes a long way. I keep it in its box in a dark cupboard, but I will say I have got 10 months out of one bottle.

    I’ve been using my body lotion (vanicream in the tub) as a facial moisturizer for years now. I have eczema and i figured since it’s so non-irritating and soothing, I could use it on my face too. It’s great and cost effective. I usually put it on while my face is still damp and locks the moisture in!

  • @halirn
    @halirn Рік тому +2

    As a certified wound care clinician, I don't think petrolatum is the best first line defense in minor skin abrasions/lacerations. The first sequence in wound healing is hemostasis. This is needed to stop the wound from bleeding and allow the wound to proceed through the next 3 phases of healing. If petrolatum is applied before hemostasis is achieved, this can slow down the healing process even in minor skin injuries. After hemostasis is complete, petrolatum can certainly help protect the skin. Additionally, people tend to double dip into their petrolatum containers which can lead to introducing bacteria into even the smallest of cuts.

The only one I use that I know is sort of available outside of the Nordic countries, if you order online, is from a brand called SIM Sensitive. It's a fantastic brand though. I also know that The Inkey list (a brand I personally don't like, but everyone else does) has a salisylic acid scalp serum. Philip Kingsley has one that should be available internationally that's almost fragrance free ?) as far as I can remember. With pircono lactone or however you spell it 😂But just look around the internet and local pharmacy/ drug store! Salisylic acid serums for the face, can also be used on the scalp in my experience.

      CeraVe has an oil free pm lotion - not sure about their other products. If I have clogged pores on a certain part of my face - I prefer to use glycolic pads at night and let it dry and leave it alone and just use an eye cream. Retinoids may help too at night. During the day - non comegenic/oil free serum and spf. I also like glycolic face washes. A benzoyl peroxide face wash works well for me when my skin gets more oily. I hope you find a good dermatologist for more advice.

    I like how you pointed out that you spend more money on sunscreen than other products! I see others often recommending to spend less on the “basics” like cleanser, moisturizer, and spf because there are good inexpensive options, and while that is true, I think those are the products worth spending the most money on and time searching for them because they are the foundation of your skincare routine and are what do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to improving skin. I often also see the recommendation to “splurge” on serums which, again, makes no sense to me as those are the types of products that often have less research behind them. I think it’s more important to find basics that you enjoy using regularly and spending your money there than on pricey (and often gimmicky) serums.

      But there are great inexpensive options and they are right to an extent as the key to spf is buying one of which formula you like and the price point is not so high as to prevent you from using it in a liberal amount that is needed and reapplying.
      However you are also right, if you are willing to splurge on something spf is a great thing to choose.

For example, my uncle the other day came to me asking if I had hand sanitizer to put on his face because of razor burn. He said it would overpower the burn with more burn. I told him to never do that again and I took out the CeraVe Lotion and told him to apply it. Sure enough, it instantly relieved the burning and irritation. He was amazed and took photos of it to buy it.

    While I don't necessarily disagree on using body lotions in place of facial moisturizers, I recommend people to check what's in their body lotions and do test swatches before applying directly to their faces. This comes from personal experience where I ruined my skin by rubbing it on my face (not immediately, but it got much worse over time and I did not introduce new products to my skincare routine), and it took a few years for my skin to recover. Watch out for irritating ingredients like fragrance and make sure to not only test it on your body first, but also on your neck or to a less sensitive part of your facial skin before using regularly. It never hurts to be patient and careful

    Very sensible advice. I rarely buy products marketed for one specific cosmetic use. I've been been using body lotion for years for all skin care. I always choose one that won't be irritating when used near my eyes, and then use that for the rest of my body. Also, I use:
    - lipstick for blush
    - organic apple cider vinegar on my very-dripping-wet face as a toner ("brightener") and to restore pH balance. Let it dry naturally.
    - organic apple cider vinegar as an underarm deodorant (but not immediately after shaving -- ouch!)
    - baking soda to brush my teeth
    - diluted hydrogen peroxide as an effective mouthwash and tooth whitener
    The nice thing about these products is that they have other (non-cosmetic) uses. I use baking soda for cleaning (especially cooking pans, along with salt and white vinegar) and polishing chrome surfaced. And in the kitties' litter box. Hydrogen peroxide is good for cleaning cuts. During COVID (still in process) I've been travelling with a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the car for disinfecting my gloved hands and various surfaces (but don't put it on metal or chrome, which it will damage over time).
