Got so excited when I saw the title! Love your skincare takes, I've been loving the mad hippie SAP vit c serum! Love your look btw, that doe eyed shape is gorgeous on you
Yessss!! Happy to hear you enjoy it too! Thank you! 💖
Love nerding out!
I appreciate your honesty. I'm excited about you doing the jade rollers...I have tried them, but mainly I just use them when I have a headache.
I'm very intrigued by them!
Hi Alice. Please make a video dedicated to sunscreen especially the mineral once. Really appreciate all the work that you put into your videos.
Really great information. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! 💖
Finally!! Someone speaking about the toxins and detox things! Love you girl! I always make the same face you did when you said "toxins" lol
Buzzwords. Part of me feels for the cosmetic chemists behind these products. They have to cringe a bit when the CEO tells them, "yeah we're going to name your product, 'Detox It'!" 😶
@@AliceintheRabbitHole lol, totally. Poor ones!
Thanks Alice!
Thanks for watching! Hope your week is going well! 💖
Oooohh....please try out a Derma roller for us Alice! P.S. I gotta try that dry brushing...
I'm excited! That video in particular feels like it's going to be a lot of "nearing gimmicks", but a lot of people swear by it. Means there's only one way to find out 🤔😂
@@AliceintheRabbitHole No don't, Alice!!! You could F your face. 😳😳😳😳❌✖❌
Alice, this was very informative for me! I never knew that biotin can cause breakouts. I’m ok with just taking multi-vitamins daily, however, I’m sure I need something more. Great video, Alice.
While there aren't any studies confirming this, it seems to be a well-circulated idea online. I suspect that excess biotin would be the problem (simply because excess of anything often has repercussions, and some hair and nails supplements go so far overboard!)
Goodness gracious god, you come out with fire content every time. Thank you for bringing a more rational perspective to the beauty community
💚💚💚💚
Thank you! This was a fun topic; I'm happy you enjoyed it! Sometimes I worry I'm doing my own thing way too much haha 😂😂
@@AliceintheRabbitHole If I were a content creator, I would probably feel the same way haha. But as long as you don't go Bobby Burns on us, I think you'll be fine 😉
😂😂💖💖
I absolutely respect your science background. FWIW, I take a hair, nail, and whatever supplement, and I can tell you it does one thing, and it does it well: it makes my hair and nails grow like weeds. It doesn't make them thicker or more lush. It just makes it grow fast (and that's ALL hair, so I'm shaving my legs daily.) If you color your hair, you'll be coloring it a lot more often.
I've noticed the same effect myself, especially if my diet isn't the best it could be! But yes, it definitely can't ever change the structure of hair. I think that's why some people end up disappointed with hair supplements - while they can potentially make some changes, they can't ever turn thin hair into thick hair!
Oh, the dry brush. In 2015, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and my dog was diagnosed with terminal lymphoma. My sister told me that both could be cured with a dry brush. Four years later and I still get heated just typing that!
Oh no!! 😮😮
One of my best friends struggles with fibromyalgia. It is VERY misunderstood ☹️
I too have fibro.. can be debilitating. .
Wooooow
Thank you...I need to start buying aluminum free deodorant that works..I will try Zionhealth Claydry Deodorant
"that works" really is the key huh!
Thank you for kinda stressing that unless a dr tells you that you have a deficiency, don’t do much in the way of supplements...people are very casual about ingesting stuff produced by an under-regulated industry. (Stay safe people 🙂) I’ll note that I did have supplements prescribed to me before, so I’m not “anti”....just “proceed with much caution” on the matter.
I try to use natural deodorant because one sister and I are sensitive to many of the traditional ingredients, and another sister has basically been told she can’t use antiperspirant at all, ever again. She’d get nodules in her underarm that had to be surgically removed. She isn’t even supposed to shave now (she jokes that she’s glad she can look like she’s making a political statement instead of having a medical issue 😉) I’ll have to check out that brand you featured...I’m always up for finding decent ones to add to the rotation (I like fortune cookie soap brand a lot)
I love your sister's sense of humor! Yes, I definitely have....feelings regarding the industry. You'd think that there would be more regulation on what you put into your body!
At this point, I am making the choice to keep using these deodorants - it's mostly "if it works, then I'll use it!" for me. But you make a good point - I've heard about other sensitivities related to anti-perspirants. I'm happy I finally found one that can rival my Secret (or... Suave 😂)
As I have gotten older, don't need deodorant as much for odor and have not used anti perspirants in years. Just switched over to Native in the Lavender and Rose. Sweat is healthy!!!!
I never got into dry brushing because it felt pointless to scratch at my skin like that. If left the dead skin on.. just a scratched, worse looking version of it.
I'm so excited for this jade roller roast... I mean review >:p
I have a grudge against natural deodorants because I dated a girl for almost a year who insisted aluminum was bad for you and made her own out of coconut oil and some kind of powder. And it did not work. Ever. At all. It was a nightmare lmao.
Oh no!! Was it baking soda? I saw some DIY recipes that have that kind of combo - can't help but think "this isn't enough".
I'd watch Jenna Marbles do a DIY video on it though. 😂😂
It might have been? I don't know. I was too horrified by the entire situation to focus on facts hahahaha
Really interesting video. I’ve seen Tati rave about dry brushing.
And have you seen the new Revolution serums at Ulta? Curious what your thoughts are on those.
I'm curious about those too! Definitely on my "to try" list
I love my jade roller, not sure it does anything but it feels nice, especially under my eyes. Stick it in the fridge, run a bath, then use it to rup eye cream in, while soaking.
That does sound relaxing!
I worry so so much about my thin hair, I’m a die hard hair vitamin person. Maybe it’s placebo effect in **thinking** I’m doing something. Or, reduction in stress-induced hair loss. 😏 Curiouser and curiouser. 😉
Which ones do you take?
My favorite natural deodorant is Meow Meow Tweet. They sell it at Target. I did find that the Eucalyptus one was most effective, but I don't dig the smell so I use the grapefruit one which still gets me through a solid 48 hours without stink. I've never been a huge sweater or stinker though. Aren't hair and nail vitamins just glorified multivitamins? I take my regular multis not always very consistently, but when I do take them consistently my hair and nails do grow faster to an annoying extent.
Some of them definitely are, others focus more on biotin (actually, the vast majority focus on biotin), and the most daring affect hormonal changes in the body (I think this is too drastic!) But yes, a multi-vitamin will help you fill in any gaps in your diet, and a marker of deficiency is brittle nails.
I'm happy to hear there are antiperspirant alternatives that work so well! They've really put the effort into formulation, which I respect!
Hi Alice, I've been taking Phyto for months which was prescribed to me by a dermatologist and have spent not only on these capsules, but also Bioxine shampoo, Bioxine ampoules and Ferroglobin, due to my thinning hair. He did run tests to see if there are other issues. I dont even use heat/style my hair anymore even though I used to, 3 years back.
However, despite religiously using these for approximately 5 months im worried about their actual efficacy. I take extra cod liver oil capsules as well, idk hoping it would be more effective. Phyto does make my nails grow but i cant see the same difference for my hair. Ive been to various doctors, trichologists as well but nothing seems to work. So im stuck...with balding at 21... lol.
I'm sorry to hear, hair loss is quite frustrating! It sounds like you're doing everything right (getting the lab tests to get to the bottom of the issue is SO important). Adding cod liver is smart as although it will not help hair grow, it will help to balance your omega levels and your new hair growth will be more shiny and smooth (basically, adequately nourished in the growth phase). Is your doctor looking into hormonal aspects? It's a tricky one to address: some OTC supplements do address it, but at the risk of altering birth control effectiveness (scary thought!) Phyto does not, which is why I recommend it more comfortably - but it's always at the back of my mind that this might be the reason some people swear by Halo, etc.
hey Alice, if your field is nutrition , would you do a video on collagen supplements please? :) And Liposomal vitamin C (which one is not supposed to pee out)? Thank you
Oooh my thoughts on collagen might be controversial haha! But yeah, it is an interesting topic!
A jade roller is interesting. Natural deodorants haven't been a hit for me. I have never dry brushed. I exfoliate head to toe on the reg. Lotion every day. I just don't know if I want to commit to another step. Hmmmmmm. Great video. You look amazing as always. Have a great evening..❌✖❌
I feel you!! That is definitely part of what has kept me away from skincare devices/related. My skincare routine is already so long 😂😂 Thank you, hope you're having a good evening!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I am having a great day...💖💖❌✖❌
Since ur in fitness maybe u can help with this question? I hav alway been skinny I’m 5’4 1\2 (gotta put the extra height in there lol) use weigh 115 size 0-3 jeans but after 4kids, Ovarian Cancer n Complete Hysterectomy I weighed 160 size 6 jeans than in 3 months I went back down to 125 however my lower stomach bulges out looks like I’m 3 months pregnant I hate it bc jeans, shorts n some tops makes this bulge really pop in this area n looks bad making my low self esteem worse!!!!!! It’s also very uncomfortable bc I can feel it ugh!!!!! I want to fix my stomach but doc said my muscles hav been ripped apart n some stomach work outs can make it worse!!!! I’m poor n can’t afford a plastic surgery to fix this so I was wondering if u know or can do video to show ways to repair the stomach muscles?
This is one of the top questions we get, and sadly - there isn't a non-surgical option. At least, not yet. It's very frustrating for many people. Wish I could help more! ☹️
I'm wondering if you have any experience with or interest in the brand algenist? I just received the 7 sample foil pack of their sleeping collagen as a sephora bonus, I've used three nights and fallen in love! Another youtuber I like really likes an algenist eye cream, to my memory I've never tried any of their products. Looked up their line and their collagen line and overall gets great reviews but boy is it spendy imo. Thanks Alice! Xx
I'm really not knowledgeable about the science of topical collagen, I will have to look up, skeptical off the gettygo however...
Algenist blew my mind. If I was rating every skincare brand I've ever tried in terms of results, it would go:
DDG
Algenist
Murad
If I was rating for cost ......I'm not sure 😂😂 but yes, amazing brand! They're absolutely onto something with their algae research - I actually think that is a bigger impact than the collagen, merely because I've tried products with collagen before. None of those blew my mind like Algenist
Naomi Lasby Got those from Sephora also but put it aside. Excited to try them now. Thanks for letting us know
Puritan's Pride is where I buy my supplements from. I think they're good quality and a fair price, especially during their sales.
High five ✋ haha - they're affordable/reliable!
I used the Biotin by them and found excellent results. I do use the Phyto shampoo and conditioner and love it. I've just never tried the pills due to the cost.
I'm gonna reorder some puritan pride ..
❤️❤️
Omega 3 oils I have tried (even expensive ones) made me feel extremely I'll. I would wake up in the middle of the night when I took it to walk outside in the COLD cause I felt like I was so poisoned. I gave up on trying to find one that didnt feel like it would poison me. I'll stick to sushi and canned liver coming soon. Wonder how canned liver will taste...
Oh wow, do you think it was an allergic reaction maybe?
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I dont know. What I've tried have been fish oils at different price points. I've had a couple different fish in my life with no issues. I think fish oil may just become rancid easily, or maybe it was something else in the softgels? I dont even know if those are regulated well, as in, is it even fish oil in there?
Natural deodorants, and even most regular ones, do little to nothing for me... I'm stuck buying the expensive ones because they're the only ones that work on me
As someone who used to use Rx antiperspirant, I do understand! That's what it takes to put a halt to any sweat. For me, I'm okay with a little bit of sweat these days, as long as I don't carry a smell 😮😂
Have to dry bush and have done it for years..my "super dry and sometime psoriatic skin", needs it at least every other day..lims especially.
to those claims.. I just enjoy the feel of being "more clean" and fresh somehow. Especially if I don't get to go to a sauna that week ( there's more saunas than ppl in Finland 🙄 and use ours at least once a week)
Whit my hormones going heywire, get my "deodorant" from my pharmacy. Going to check the ingredients. It's a stick You put it in the evening before bed, wash armpits in the morning and if you want you can put more..use for a few weeks and it helped me..
Thanks again sweet Alice,
Loved the video. 💗
Feeling a lot better but taking things slowly..
in a month, with results I get to know how to continue my life.
Slow as f..it feels😫
Thought of a maybe put up my own YTchannel when I know if I'm up for it or not..😘💗
Yeah, I bet it's felt like it's taking absolutely forever! But glad to hear you are feeling better. Hopefully you'll be back to 100% very soon!! 💖
I agree with feeling more clean from dry brushing, more clean and refreshed! It's really a great experience. Didn't expect to kind of fall in love with a little $18 brush but man, it was a great purchase!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole gone through many different types of, sponge's, brushes, gloves .. definitely time-consuming but when I keep it up 25min..40 when slacking off..it's worth it for me. Didn't get my Zodiac palette in time as a ♓😭..
J gave a beautiful neckless 😍(white,yellow and redgold, simplistic, I love it 😭 he's so sweet, knows me so well )and he's credit card so I can go and pick up some make up or something..yey
Oh I'll can show you on IG 💗
I'll be 100% in a month or two... just a fact but it's ok.
Aww that is so sweet! I bet it is gorgeous. And so soon it will BE 1-2 months from now, whew!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yeeeeees! Exactly👌💕 I'm a little inpatient but who would be!? Right?! I have to get in better shape, exercise, during all this I will get help with that as too.. I'm so so blessed to get all this support from my neurologist who made it happen. She wouldn't have to get involved in this at all but 🙏💕. Swimming etc. with a personal trainer..! Massage therapist, for me!
( When she wrote this "prescription" it won't cost me anything.. I'm so lucky 😭, allergies..)
Thankful to call you friend, I look up to you in so many levels, love you lots
Until the next one ✌💕
I use a natural deodorant called no pong and it changed my life. It doesn't stop you from sweating but it stops you from smelling. Which is ok for me because that's my only concern. I'm incredibly sweaty and sweat from everywhere so stopping that just isn't going to happen. But I use no pong on my pits and I don't stink anymore.
Sounds a bit like an ad but honestly it's the best thing I've ever used. The tin it comes in is recyclable, and it's made by a small business here in Australia which I really love.
I was extremely skeptical because I've got a medical/science background and was very pleasantly suprised that it works. That being said I'm still highly unlikely to try any more """"natural"""" products because I think 99% of the time they're a total gimmick and waste of $$$$$
Totally understand! I think I went into this deodorant with a similar mindset, and was "pleasantly surprised" myself. I appreciate products where I can tell research/thought went into the end result 😊
The constant "detox!" messages make me crazy. Like nah, I'm good. I've got a functioning liver.
Exactly!
