I feel like we need to also talk about how such a sudden change in your looks, in your face that you yourself see everyday in the mirror/phone, can really, REALLY mess with your mental health.
Even a slow change can be devastating. My acne got worse and worse all through high school and I would skip school and stay home because I was so ashamed of my face. But overnight?!! I can't imagine how awful that would feel.
As a trans person, yes, I think trans people do talk about it a lot, even gradual changes that we can't control can mess you up, because it's this horrid realisation that you don't actually control your body. I remember that I felt pretty okay with my body until puberty started, then everything went wrong, it was horrible, it felt like full blown body horror for me. The way we see ourselves and the way we look like are important to how we feel. No one should tell anyone otherwise, it's so cruel how people dismiss how stressful changes in our bodies can be.
Not being able to blink/close your eyes properly after a bleph means they literally took away too much skin from the eyelids. It should always be done very conservatively because you can always go back and remove more skin, but you can't put it back. Sounds like they also hit major nerves in her face. The surgeons are absolutely at fault.
No they're not she literally has been confirmed to have the condition by her own experts she's just trying find something to blame instead of getting therapy
I had a reaction to a “natural” skin care brand and contacted the company who suggested I could be sensitive to essential oils. But they took it really seriously and sent a courier to collect the product and run tests to rule out contamination or a bad batch. I won’t use the brand again but was impressed by the care the company took and how quickly they dealt with it. My reaction wasn’t bad just a light rash and itching luckily
@dizzieblondenot everything is evil intent. Natural products can cause allergic reactions just as easy as regular ones with synthetic ingredients. Sometimes even more, because natural ingredients are often mixtures of different components and the ratio's may differ. And essential oil are notorious for causing allergic reactions.
@@TinkerTaylor-zv1mlagreed. My mum, me and my sibling are all sensitive to natural stuff. Pine, mint and some plants, just climbing weeds in the garden. Causes skin blisters when in contact. For us bring on the lab created chemicals lmao.
I don’t know why people are so quick to put down modeling careers. Imagine if you were a mathematician and a product caused you to incur brain damage, and you weren’t able to work in that profession any longer. Would we say “boo hoo” and tell them to just work retail or something? Probably not. Modeling is a career like any other and if you’re unable to work in that field it’s just devastating.
I think it's because people tend to think of models as just being lucky and winning the genetic lottery with little to no effort put into their career, which may be true for some however to whom you are born is a lottery in general so I don't see why people single out and hate on models. Also a lot of models work gruelling hours and often work hard to maintain their appearance.
Honestly, though, well said! There's just an incredible amount of work that goes into keeping your looks up it's not solely all genetics. My mother always said everyone has a beautiful model face with the right makeup, lighting, and professional photographer. What makes the big difference is if you put the effort into caring for your skin just as much as you care for your mind and heart. I'm a ballerina and had a time in my life and career when I was just so tired of doing things that I couldn't be half-assed to do anything that I usually did to care for my skin. In a few months my clear skin was ruined, and getting back into shape so to say took so much consistent work and mental effort that was honestly so hard on days where I spent it dancing and practicing away. It's not always just as simple as being born pretty, it's also work and discipline that are invested into yourself for your career.
@@ffaeyeand are often abused, basically starve themselves for the toxic beauty standards and get their individual personalities ignored just because of how they look..
Same here. The only thing I've had go wrong due to my systemic scleroderma is an abdominal surgery came un done and the doc said it may have been because of ss.
As for the Russian model's case, she seems to be suffering from bilateral facial nerve palsy. It can either be the result of buccal fat removal (a very botched procedure) or it can sometimes manifest as a symptom of scleroderma, when the disease affects the nervous system. The differential diagnosis can be made by a (relatively simple) nerve conduction study.
I'm sure you know more about scleroderma than me, but my understanding is that it's an autoimmune disease, so a major trauma like surgery that causes massive inflammation could definitely cause this level of a reaction. And there's multiple types and stages, of course, so some cases are more severe than others. I've read that scleroderma is diagnosed by looking for a collection of indicators, especially in the early stages, too, and it's rare enough that doctors don't look for it unless those indicators show up, which they often don't until it starts to progress. What am I missing?
The skincare brand that caused the model's horrible breakouts (Makari de suisse) seems incredibly scammy... as someone who is Swiss I feel I should point out that I've seen lots of skincare brands abroad (especially in Asia) that are marketed as being 'Swiss' to try and convince people that they're trustworthy brands with innovative formulations (some with a veryyy high price point), when those brands are not available in Switzerland itself and aren't actually produced/developed in Switzerland. Not to be a patriot lol but Switzerland has strict laws on what can & can't be labelled as Swiss products (like how Toblerone had to change their packaging), so if you see skincare marketed as being Swiss, I would def recommend double- and triple-checking that!
This and from someone from asia, i hate when products market themselves as something from certain country. Too bad it works and that's why it still continues to this day.
Not all skincare products from Asia are bad though. Korean and Japanese skincare products are some of the best in the world. Cle de Peau soap (from Japan) is the best I have ever used and got rid of my the stubborn milia around my eyes in a matter of weeks.
I only use trusted brands from Japan, Korea, France (Avene , laroche posay), USA(only major brands/ doctor brands like Zeoskin, Jan Marini). I don’t trust any Chinese skincare or makeup considering how much fake products are from there as well.
I love how you are always compassionate when beauty turns ugly. Sure people make disastrous mistakes, including rich ones whose careers get destroyed by them. Suffering like this sucks no matter who you are; your face can bring such constant shame for everyone.
So when you say no matter who you are even a murderer or a "PDF file" deserves compassion when they suffer? Girl please, enough with your selective compassion.
@@lisam.7392Are you suggesting we should feel sorry for murderers or PDF files or are you suggesting that we should lack empathy for this model? Confused as to why you made this ridiculous comment tbh.
I wanted to talk about something as someone who is not a super model. People who don’t have severe skin issues can not possibly understand the severe psychological and emotional pain that comes with them. I have struggled with moderate to severe acne my entire life. And a compulsive skin picking disorder that makes things so much worse sometimes. There are times when I literally do not want to leave the house. Not only do you feel SO ugly but it literally hurts!! It’s painful. I have also had two bouts of severe fungal infections on my face that resulted in weeping and crusting wounds all over my face. They both lasted for about a month and the itching was so bad I couldn’t sleep at night. I would just lay on my bed and cry. I really hate to see people downplay skin disorders or skin complications like it’s just a vanity issue. If you haven’t been there, don’t comment on it. You don’t have to be a model to be incredibly negatively impacted by these things. 😢 peace and love to anyone who has skin issues ❤
I have dermatillomania too. And suffered from bad skin in my teenage years, my 20s, and my 30s. All of this. You have no idea of the psychological damage. Plus rosacea? When there were really no treatments that were safe when I was growing up?
I hear you. Battling perpetual folliculitis for years now. Docs don't know how to treat it. When something works, it only does so for a week or two. Then my skin blows up worse. I won't wear v necks or anything that shows my chest. Can't wear a bra bc it causes massive breakouts along bra line. Luckily, I have very small boobs so it isn't noticeable that I don't wear one. I spend my nights slathered in product that helps heal it but never prevents it. It is driving me insane. I will be clear one day and five minutes later have itchy, painful, pinpoint red bumps all over the top half of my body, sans my face (thankfully.) The break outs are instantaneous, not like pimples. It is strange and frustrating and terrible for self-esteem. Add to that, I struggled with bad body and fsce acne as a teen and was always on antibiotics and pills to rein it in. I've had terrible skin my whole life. So I absolutely understand you and I hope things get better for you. Good luck.
I saw a woman try and sue a cosmetic surgeon because she couldn’t blink. she wanted an eyelid lift and they removed way too much of her eyelid, eyes stuck open in a wide eye shocked look. She lost the case because the jury said it was elective! Elective! I understand there’s risk involved but when plastic surgeons don’t even get a slap on the wrist it just shows them they can botch people left and right with zero consequences. It’s disturbing, this isn’t like going to a country where it’s cheaper because Theyr doing it illegally, that’s a true risk, these are in expensive high end offices with popular surgeons. The jury didn’t care they felt no mercy was it jealousy? Because they couldn’t get these things done? Why would you see a woman who can no longer blink because she has no eyelids left and get them back and say welp too bad you got the surgery to start if anything it’s youre fault. Smh
It’s probably a lot to do with prejudices surrounding cosmetic surgery. We also don’t know the full story and there might be more to it. Like did she pressure the doctor into making them higher, did she not take care of it post op and it contracted that way, etc. I’m not trying to blame the plaintiff, I’m just a vet myself and I have been accused of some wild stuff by people and unless you hear the full story I could be made to sound evil. Just like with that poor women who got 3rd degree burns from coffee and McDonalds turned the media against her, I wouldn’t want to misread a trial verdict based on one sides statements
Also probably due to misogyny and victim blaming, a lot of people have no empathy towards women who get these kinds of procedures. Not to mention that medical adjacent court proceedings will usually go in favour of the doctor because of their status
The story is of a New Jersey woman named Marilyn Leisz. Her doctor was the one who suggested the procedure knowing she had previous work done on her eyes. She wasn’t a good candidate and he knew her history she trusted him and he over did it and sure maybe he made a mistake doctors and surgeons make major mistakes it’s going to happen we’re human but no real compensation by a jury for now a life long injury? Smh. someone can be awarded millions by a jury for tripping on a hotel lobby carpet lol but oh you can’t even blink anymore? you can’t garden? play sports? you can’t sleep without a mask? No tripping on a carpet you sir get millions lol it’s just comical. He elected to go into that lobby 😅
Holy hell, my morning coffe is also "elective", dosen't mean it would be ok to add ratshit to it! Just imagine extending that way of thinking to the rest of society!? Candy? Elective, sorry not sorry you got painted rocks. Braces? Elective. We just pulled all the teeth instead. Leg bitten of by a shark on vacation? Vacation and sea swimming is elective.
I used the popular Vanicream moisturizer for sensitive skin and it literally burnt my face. It was so bad especially around my eyes. I was in soooo much pain. They hurt so badly and my eyes were swollen shut. I ended up having to go to the dermatologist who had to give me steroids and other creams to calm my skin down. It was a chemical burn!! My eyes are still swollen underneath and it’s been over 9 months. I’m not a famous model but it still sucks to have something affect the skin on your face. You can’t hide your FACE! I learned really fast that I have to be careful about what I put on my skin.
Wow that’s so crazy! I had a similar experience w cerave, but it just stung my face & caused some redness whenever I applied it. Ironically, the only moisturizer I’ve been able to use since is vanicream! Tbh I think it was partly my fault, at the time my skin barrier was pretty damaged & I wasn’t as informed on skincare as I am now; I had to make some major changes & do a LOT of research to heal it. However, I also think I might’ve also been sensitive or allergic to some specific ingredient. It’s crazy how different everyone’s skin is.
My youngest daughter is allergic to aloe. It’s hard to find skincare, body wash, lotions etc without aloe. She had an allergy test done last year. Since she found out her skin is looking so much better.
I'm allergic to rose, luckily for me it's not as trendy as it was 5 years ago, but I still have to read every product label, and I still mess up sometimes. I know y'alls pain, and I hope her reactions aren't too bad :/
I’m allergic aloe too, it is a pain how many products have aloe! The worst was a shampoo, my scalp felt like it was on fire! I’m glad your daughter knows now and can avoid it.
i am a swiss and the "swiss brand" is a french brand (and the owner is from new york) "manufactured" in switzerland they say, this brand is unknown in switzerland, we have higher standards and much stricter rules than the EU for our products...likewise, this is no more a swiss brand than st. ives (California) who simply use ingredients/research team from switzerland and call themselves "swiss brand" because it sounds good 😮 Lindt, the chocolat the twins like, is a real swiss brand 😊
@@25archivesss lindt chocolate in switzerland is most of the time not the same you can buy in a other country, thats not only a lindt thing and not a swiss thing....however, james and robert do like lindt...the rest is just your opinion and i think everybody is happy you shared it with the world...
Considering Krasnodar is where that evil POS Paolo Macchiarini got his start in destroying people through surgery, I am not surprised to hear about what happened Yulia. That city is famous for malpractice at this point. I hope Yulia is surrounded by love and support ❤
That man was an absolute devil. It was absolutely wicked what he did to those people. The scandal is how long he got away with it. Medicine attracts lots of good and decent ppl motivated by good intentions but it also attracts a small group that see patients bodies and lives as little more than their personal playground, there simply as a ways and means of them achieving money, notoriety and respect. Surgery seem to be most afflicted with these types. Machiarini is a classic example and very high profile but there have been many over the years. They all show next to no interest in the patient once they have done their 'work.' The relatively new field of transgender medicine has given such ppl a whole new field in which to make their name. Horror stories abound of surgeons promising much and being unable to deliver, worse, leaving young patients with chronic pain, infections and loss of function. Amazingly they seem to be allowed to just break off contact and ignore the same patients they were once so attentive to pre surgery leaving them to find another to fix their handiwork. Unsurprisingly good surgeons are reluctant to touch them and risk being associated with such work. That awful tiktok plastic surgeon is another example, filming her patients while unconscious and uncovered whilst dancing for tiktok videos in the OR!! Women getting breast implants being exposed half naked to strangers whilst unconscious, botched work and again, an unwillingness to engage with dissatisfied patients post surgery. How those patients of Macchiarini suffered! So sad.
@@QueenJaneway I’m in the US. However, I first learned about him through the Swedish docuseries Fatal Experiments. Bosse Lindquist did an incredible job of peeling back the charm and glamour to reveal the devil that Paolo truly is.
Machiarrini was a disgusting narcissist with a knife. The poor young lady on a vent for 4 1/2 YEARS with 197 surgeries broke my heart. I couldn't Imagine why they didn't let her go on hospice sooner....awful the people he murdered.
You can developer scleroderma later in life. It’s an autoimmune thing and can crop up at any point. She may have had a successful nose job and then in the proceeding years developed scleroderma. It is most often diagnosed in women between 30-50 years old.
Wow learn something new everyday, I have a few family members with it and they all developed it around 18, they did have the more severe form that affects the internal organs though. I just assumed that was the normal age of onset.
I’ve had skincare reactions so bad that literally split open my skin on my face. This didn’t happen when I was trying new skincare. It happened after I had used the products for over a yr. So always be aware of skin changes. It can happen at anytime.
@@shannonlynch4598I don't think brand matters, it can happen with anyone. I remember back im the day Benton had contaminated batch and it really did some real damage to people. I've used Benton for 8 years now and never anything happened. It could also be when your product expires or is improperly stored (at the store or at home).
@@shannonlynch4598got absolutely nothing to do with the brand. Just because some people are allergic to strawberries doesn't mean we all need to avoid them. In the same vein we don't all need to avoid something just because someone developed a reaction.
Slightly off topic but your intro is so lovely and as a recovering perfectionist I feel like I've adopted it as a sort of mantra, progression over perfection because perfection doesn't exist. I love it, and I love your content. Thank you ❤️
removing fat from the face does not make a person look youthful. Quite the opposite actually. I Hate that procedure and I wish people would stop doing it.
Isn't it sad that so many people fell for the buccal fat removal procedure fad? Poor Liam Payne destroyed his handsome face a year ago with a combination of buccal fat removsl and jaw enhancement surgery. Shockingly grotesque results. People have been calling him Squidward. I would guess that Hugo Boss will no longer use him to model in their big billboard and magazine ads.
@@Sophia-lc9ow This is my 3rd attempt at replying to you. The first time it disappeared after I typed it; then when I was almost finished typing it again, my battery ran out and I lost it again! Third time lucky? Here goes: Regarding Liam’s face: A couple of days ago, I did see recent pics of him with his girlfriend Ella, in which he did look somewhat better. He seems to have had some of the extreme jaw bone implants removed, and maybe had some fat put back in his cheeks. Apparently the problem with the cheek fat removal is that the process damages the collagen structure needed to hold the fat in place, so putting fat back is rarely successful; it just acts like fillers that have be continually renewed. Poor guy is going to have life long problems with it now. Such a shame what lack of confidence can do. How could he not know he was very handsome, with a beautifully symmetrical, pleasing face shape?
I used a peel off mask once (not sure which brand), that stripped my skin barrier and left me with perioral/periocular dermatitis. It was so bad! Thankfully it was during the pandemic and I was able to stay home and let my skin heal, not wearing make up. It took a long time to return to normal. Its just so unsettling when something like that happens.
It is very common that skin care products cause inflammation on ppl with darker skin. Any product that causes irritation could cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It’s a common side effect of any anti-aging products such as acids and retinoids.
I randomly developed an allergy to formaldehyde in high school (it is better now but pretty much in everything, especially hair and skin care, makeup etc). Before this my skin was perfectly clear. After, my skin had severe cystic acne all over, itchy bumpy rashes, hyperpigmentation, tons of scaring, and literally parts of my face would be so broken open and damaged you'd think an animal attacked me. I think it can pop up at any time and if you're switching or using products a lot, or getting procedures done, it can be easy to blame that. Sometimes it really is just our own body, it changes a lot regardless of our past norms. For anyone interested, we tried a lot of things between 2010-2014 with no help at all and it just got worse and worse. I was physically sick from my allergic reaction. Finally when I could afford it (my dermatologist wanted me to get this done ASAP but we had to wait for $$$), I got chemical patch testing done. 100 patches of chemicals m-w, another 100 w-f. I BARELY reacted to formaldehyde, but once I removed it (foods like apples, products etc). I was fine. It took a few years to get my skin back to normal and to get used to knowing what to look out for. If you have had a mystery reaction or acne etc. get tested ifyou can!
@@alexisasheep6554 it used to be a common preservative in skincare products. It was (relatively) safe but some people were sensitive to it so companies switched to phenoxyethanol (same with parabens). Ironically now people are becoming allergic to phenoxyethanol so they’re beginning to switch to new preservatives again lol
I feel like we should talk more about so many young girls and women nowadays pumping their faces with filler. Cheeks, jaw, nose, lips, undereye etc. And are told that filler dissolves which is a lie! Filler migrates! What will these young womens faces look like in a couple of years when they keep adding more filler...
We literally have the scientific research happening in front of us, right now. People are so quick to change themselves instead of accepting the miracle of God’s creation. I just watched a video talking about Kylie Jenner and how her filler has given her bags under her eyes… 🍿👀
Makes people look heavier, like they put on weight in their faces. The moon face look, if they keep topping up. They get used to the look of filler, they think it's gone after a certain time and keep doing it. Personally, I think young people should stay away from procedures when they are already as perfect as they'll ever be. Looking "done" as a young person also makes them look older unfortunately. Then there's these risks.
I worked in optometry for years and sent a lot of older people for routine blepharoplasty- I have never had someone come back with anything but some post-op swelling. Horrifying. :( and the agony of chronic dry eyes is not something I’d wish on anyone
People underestimate how much it affects your self esteem to suddenly become unattractive, Especially when you yourself put so much of your worth into your looks. For me it was acne, and I went from being complimented every time I left the house to even my partners never really mentioning my looks. Sometimes people would comment on ways to fix my acne, but that’s it. Like, boohoo, woe is me, all that stuff, but it is pretty hurtful to have a clear visualization of everyone suddenly deciding you’re not pretty anymore.
I get it, for me it's my nose. I can't stand it, and have wanted to change it for years despite my friends telling me that it adds to my looks and any change would be vain.
@@availableusername9101what stopped me from hating my nose after many years was a post somewhere mentioning (more eloquently than I can) that, if you currently have that facial feature, it's because it has been loved by every generation before yours. I hope that helps at least a bit
Years ago Bare Minerals powder foundation was all the rage. I am not acne prone at all but the bismuth in that product gave me a million little bumps all over my skin. Which was a shame because the makeup looked great. I also have this reaction to chemical sunscreens which is why I hate it when they add them to foundations.
Same here. Had a makeover with their products and bought them, the brushes, etc. Within a week my skin was red and bumpy with pustules. Had to go on antibiotics and a steroid cream for four weeks to calm it down. Dr said the bismuth can be an irritant to some.
Oh my goodness I had a similar situation! It was a long time ago, but it was when mineral makeup first became popular. It wasn't bare minerals brand, but the one I used was fine when I put it on, so I went to work like normal. As soon as I started sweating tho, my face started burning and itching like crazy, it was so bad I had to run to the bathroom and wash my face at work. My skin was red and bumpy for days, and I've never tried any mineral makeup since.
I have the exact same reaction to most sunscreens, every time it happens I get massively scared of putting on any sunscreen and it takes me a while to convince myself to try another one. Not to mention the waste it creates, I just give those to my mum and sister but it's honestly a bane.
Sadly this does actually look like scleroderma, which can be triggered with any random injury to the skin, even where it hadn't in the past. It can come and go randomly too. Her cheeks are typical scleroderma from my experience. The eyelid thing sounds like malpractice, however, so perhaps it's a mixture of both? But it does show how "low risk" procedures can still trigger things without rhyme, reason or prior indication, unfortunately.
She had the tissue removed from her checks-that was the mini liposuction . scleroderma is spontaneous scarring, so when they did the surgery, she had excessive scarring.
I didn't have acne until my early 20s, and have had really bad (and painful - acne can be really effing painful) bouts every now and again over the past decade... and Mariama's reaction to her sudden acne sounds very much like my own... and my face is not my livelihood. I empathise so deeply with her, acne can be extremely damaging to one's mental health (and also... really effing painful!)
I have always thought how painful physically cystic acne must be. I mean they are just like small boils/abcesses really. I had an abcess on the back of my leg and the pain was incredible. So much so that when it burst (yuk) on the way to the hospital the relief was so instant and so great it was pleasurable! Although smaller I can see how painful it must be, especially sleeping if you have it on your back or if you sleep with your face pressed onto the pillow. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. I don't underestimate what it must do to your confidence. 😢
There's merit to the doctors claim of scleroderma. You can't definitively test for it, you can be healthy (both appearing and in blood tests) until you have a system insult that causes it to flare. You could have a dozen surgeries and not have a flare up... until you do. Of course, this could also be a convenient excuse for the doctors. I think that if they claim she has scleroderma, tests could be done while she's having symptoms (that they say she's having) to support that claim. However, even without scleroderma, at least some of her symptoms could be explained by damaged nerves and could not be the result of gross negligence (which are not always the same). I wonder how malpractice insurance works in Russia 🤔
I had autoimmune tests done that had markers for limited scleroderma, yet I have no sign of the disease. Wouldn’t something still show up on autoimmune tests for her then?
12:56 I don't necessarily think it's the brand's fault, I'm assuming the person was allergic to an ingredient they use in their products (probably a fragrance ingredient they use across all of their products). As long as the product follows government-approved regulations I don't think companies should be liable for people being allergic to ingredients, regardless of if the consumer knows they have the allergy or not. This is why it's so important to patch test things especially if they contain active ingredients or fragrance.
I remember seeing warnings on products from The Ordinary about always doing a patch test to check for reactions, but don't remember if it was the bottles or the website. I haven't seen this precaution on products from other companies although it seems a really good idea.
You would think, given that someone is a model, they are using other products which can interact, and this is their livelihood, as well as the fact that what works for you may not work for me and vice versa, patch testing would be standard.
a few years ago, i tried a product from farmacy. it burned my skin. i contacted the company, to let them know, and to see what ingredient may have caused it. they literally responded with " there's nothing in our products that can cause a reaction". i understand that reactions can happen, but to flat out say no...well, i haven't given them any more money.
@@dlilwon She was diagnosed in late 2018 after she lost a significant amount of weight and constantly felt weak. Her health worsened in 2020, but she put off seeking medical attention partly because hospitals were crowded and doctors were overworked due to c0v1d (UA-cam doesn’t like that word), and I guess she was worried her illness wasn’t serious enough and that she’d be a burden 🥺. She was eventually rushed into hospital with scleroderma related kidney failure. She was eventually discharged, but quickly became ill again and was rushed back to hospital. It turned out she’d contracted an infection on the ward, which led to pneumonia. It was the pneumonia that ultimately caused her death, but it was all linked to her scleroderma. It’s all so sad.
Makari is not similar to French pharmacy. They sell bleaching cream. Never look at the ingredients but could be hydroquinone which leads to hyperpigmentation sometimes especially if the skin is not protected from the sun
@@jinxminx55 It is very true that face skin and body skin can react very differently,you should test swatch face products on the face just in discret areas. Behind your ear or under your chin.
If she did have scleorderma, it can absolutely be triggered at any time and it wouldn’t be part of any pre surgery tests because it’s a rare autoimmune condition! Why would you??? I think there’s a lot of stuff going on that demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of medical procedure here.
I will say, scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder that like many others you don't always test positive for even if you have it, or can test for the gentic issue without any symptoms. And it often doesn't start affecting you until you are past 30-40.
If it is autoimmune, then they can test your white blood cells, even after the flare up, because your body stays on alert. I would think they can probably also take a look at the type of scarring using imaging or at the tissue itself with biopsy and determine whether it is normal scar development or abnormal at the cellular level
@@TheBaumcmthat’s actually not how scleroderma works, it’s often auto Antibody negative, early diagnosis from clinical suspicion with capillaroscopy and minor symptoms, raynaud etc meeting the diagnostic criteria is a lucky find
I've seen footage of some plastic surgery procedures and it was enough to deter me from ever getting anything. The cutting, ripping, stuffing, and breaking is terrifying.
I worked with models for a few years (as an MUA) and they are under a LOT of pressure. It's not an easy job. It /can be/ a very lucrative job, and a lot of people who enter this industry are looking to make fast money. They are not always discerning about skin care and will try anything if it gets them a job. They are used to being talked about as if they aren't there when photographers give instructions to makeup and hair people to "fix her nose" or "hide her forehead" and such. You are also correct about Photoshop retouching - especially 10 years ago, it was hard to make retouching look good, so most photographers (for print work) wanted to do as little as necessary. Makeup looked WEIRD sometimes and models want to take it off before they leave, often using horrible detergent wipes and what not. Breakouts were common, empathy for it was not. If you are working at the big brand level, I can't even imagine how it must feel if you suddenly find yourself unable to work, and at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you made dumb decisions that lead to it... you're still out of work. :(
James I saw the Makari products on the thumbnail and I screamed NOOOOO!! I started using Makari in January this year and my skin has thanked me ever since. However, when I was leaving to go to Miss Universe last month I did not have enough time to order from their website so I bought it from a shop here in Ireland. The consistency of the product, the smell, everything was different but it had the exact same ingredients listed on the bottle. I broke out at the pageant from using this product. I think the biggest problem that Makari have, in my opinion, is the retailers in shops selling them because I have heard from my aunties and mum that they are selling cheaper versions of the products so my guess is that they are manufacturing "dupes". P.S. James, I LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Regardless of your age or job, having problematic skin is very distressing. I didn't even leave the house when my skin was bad, going to work was a torture 😢
My face broke out 2 years ago around the chin/ jawbone area and I nearly wanted to end it all! It looked like cystic acne and hurt so much. I tried to clear it but nothing helped. I went to get a facial and the lady recommended a skincare line, Cosrx. She told me about BHA and all the other facial items. I did a bit of research on my own and within 2 months my face was amazingly glowing! I can’t thank her enough 😢❤
@@skadimons9912menopausal and can confirm chin and jaw are usually hormonal. Exercise can help(as it can help to reduce cortisol and prevent the hormones from overcascading as it did in my case) and BHA is salicylic acid (really the only one commercially available). Paula’s choice makes some pretty decent options. Temples are apparently dehydration according to Sam Chapman.
I tried a marula oil (sp?) From the ordinary and triggered eczema on my face. I'm 44 and never had it before. It's not their fault but goes to show you never know.
I used to love marulas as a kid. I noticed it became popular in skincare recently. In haircare too. My daughter has terrible eczema. I will steer clear just in case.
Even as an average person having something affect your face so dramatically can cause emotional damage. I was on antibiotics for a week, and I knew you shouldn't expose yourself to direct sunlight while taking antibiotics. I had been off of them for two days, and thought it'd be safe to resume my daily trips with my dogs to the creek. We'll, I ended up with dark patches on my forehead. I'd pile on spf but it didn't matter, any sun exposure for YEARS would cause these patches to get very dark, very quickly. I only took a few pictures in the span of at least 5 years. It was awful. Makeup made it look even worse so I stopped wearing makeup beside mascara and eyebrow product. My kids would ask me why I don't take pictures with them anymore and they didn't really understand because boys always think their momma looks beautiful. It was just temporary thankfully but it did last several years. I was a total sun bum and I avoided the sun as much as possible during that time. If I did take my dogs and/or kids to the creek, instead of running around and playing with them I'd find a shaded area and stay there. It sucked. Going there and connecting with nature, my dogs and my boys was a HUGE part of my life back then. I taught my kids how to tell time with shadows, how to have a safe emergency fire (that was back before the massive drought in California) taught them to identify animal tracks, how to forage food, etc. It was my passion. And it ended because I went in the sun before the antibiotics were completely out of my system. And I'm not a vain person. I think natural is beautiful, I never really cared about how I looked to other people as long as I felt good about myself and I didn't feel good at all! .
I myself had severe reactions to several skincare products. Sometimes I wasn't able to distinguish what I had reacted so badly to. It took me ages to figure out I do react very sensitively to essential oils, fragrance, denatured alcohol, chemical filters (used in sunscreen), most active ingredients and some types of natural oils. Reactions that can occur are severe redness all over my face, looking like sunburn, irritations on the cheeks, intense and painful breakouts. Ever since I am aware of this, I avoid those ingredients (which gets harder every time, I feel, cause many product lines add actives to their ingredient list because they are so hyped, even foundation is now made with niacinamide, vitamin c and stuff like that which made me not buy my former favorite foundation anymore ever since they reformulated it) and my skin looks so much better. Thing is: I didn't know all this and when I started getting mild breakouts during puberty, basically everything that was done and I had done to my face to make it better, made it way worse and I got told by dermatologists, estheticians and gynecologists that it was just a hormonal imbalance and I would not be able to clear up my skin with anything but hormonal treatments, which made my skin look and feel even worse, no bloodwork was done, they just assumed things and I was so naive to trust them with all this. I tried tretinoin which helped for as long as I took it, but my skin went back to what it was before the treatment when my "therapy" was over. I asked several doctors if I may just have a food allergy or something, they all laughed at me. I later figured out I actually am lactose intolerant which messed with my digestion a lot and also react weirdly to any soy product besides lecithin. So I did get lactase pills and avoided soy and my skin already got better, but only in some areas. When I did learn more about how my skin reacts to certain skincare products, it got even better and I now only get breakouts when I accidentally ate soy or the week prior to my period. Thing is: The acne I had was mainly cystic and hurt really badly. It also did not just affect my face, I had breakouts all over my scalp, the upper back, my shoulders, upper arms and my chest. It was so bad that wearing a bag or a backpack was not only uncomfortable but really painful, also showering was painful and just touching my skin to clean it, felt like I got a thousand severe bruises everywhere. I still got bumpy scars all across my upper back and the top of my shoulders. My face got away a bit better, there is texture due to scarring but not as bad as it could've been. I sometimes wish I could go back in time and make myself know about all this way earlier. That's basically the only thing in my entire life I would like to erase from my past because it brought so many mental issues to the table that I really didn't need. Especially all the bullying at school and all the activities I didn't wanna participate because I didn't wanna show my face and upper body to anyone. I did miss out on a lot of things when I was a teen and in the beginning of my twenties. So a lot of mistakes have been made when I was in my late 20's. And no, having a skin condition and feeling ugly af and unworthy is not just superficial. It goes way deeper than that. And funny enough, now that my skin is so much better, I don't care about what other people think of my looks anymore. Some days I don't even care about how I look. But I am also not a model and don't have to rely on looking good enough to get booked and earn money. (To make you understand a bit better: I started getting breakouts at the age of 11 and I am 36 now. Some of those things I had figured out at the age of 21, others in my late 20's but most I just learned about, so my skin always went back and forth from looking somewhat decent to looking very horrible and hurt like crazy until a few months ago.) I absolutely understand why people who come out of treatments/procedures with a severe reaction or get really bad skin due to a product do freak out and feel like they are robbed of something that was very important for them.
Word of mouth reviews are the best review in my opinion. Online ones can be faked and if people you actually know in real life are happy and you can see the results, it’s much more helpful. Very costly mistake, you only get one body and face
I had exactly the same problem with Makari. I read the reviews on Amazon and expected wonderful outcomes so purchased the product but within 2days my skin was an absolute mess. Cystic acne and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which took almost 6months to clear. It was a terrible experience for my skin and self confidence. I honestly thought it was just me
With all the sudden triggering images poppin on our screens without warning I found your trigger warning so refreshing and considerate of you. Thank you ❤
As someone whos undergone needed serious surgeries i like can not handle the idea of surgery for looks. i know there are some cases where i prob would. like large burns or something broke bad but I pray to God I dont have to have anymore surgeries. Its literally traumatic. I have ptsd im like darn sure from all that. I had to cause crohns disease was killing me but like i used to want breast implants but no. no no no. especially after seeing how sick it makes some women.
Rosehip oil ruined my skin, I used it for redness and skin sensitivity anti ageing etc etc. Over time my skin ended up having like keloid like bumps, and my skin would burn if I put anything on it, like parrafin wax even, it was horrid and lasted like 3 months, I was worried my skin was never going to be the same, luckily it eventually went back, but I couldn't imagine that never going away or ending up completely disfigured possibly permanently
Anybody can get an allergic reaction. When you go for surgery, they ask you what you are allergic to. If you don't know, they don't know. It's not like they will test you. What they will talk to you about is the risks associated with any procedures, but everybody swears they were not told, until their signature pops up on the pre op document.
Test for what? There are millions of allergies. The OP is right. If you don't know, they won't know. The pre op documents will say "no known allergies" or the operation cannot legally happen
what is that have to do with Russia? Scleroderma is extremely tear autoimmune decease, nobody will test you for that before operation. But again, you are just brainless worm, so...

I wonder if having the procedures kicked off an immune response disaster. It’s possible the nose surgery, while a big deal, is less demanding on your body. Just a thought.
We also don't know when she has her nose job. A 20 year old body is often in better health and heals much faster and seamlessly than one decades older. People need to start realizing surgery, any surgery, is serious business and comes with considerable risks. I feel awful for her, that said I've had bad side effects from topical, meds, etc. tread cautiously y'all
I'm 32 and still struggle with acne (bad genetics + oily scalp and skin). I'm extremely careful with the products I use because of how sensitive it is--and even then, I break out the week before my period without fail. It really affects my self-confidence, especially during a breakout. It's really depressing that a model can lose her career from acne because brands don't want to be associated with someone who has it. I feel for her, and I wish skin texture, acne, and aging were more normalized, because they're all part of being human.
My mom has scleroderma. She’s had it since forever, her main issue is blood flow to her hands and feet. Her fingers turn purple in the cold. Not sure if she has ever had much more issue with it beyond that. It’s painful too.
If someone broke a concert pianist’s hands and left them unable to ever play again, would those people say “lol boohoo get a job in retail”? Some jobs require specific attributes that can be lost and devastate you, and they’re still JOBS. They’re careers that people have been working their entire adult life, and suddenly it’s gone.
Modeling is a career that is usually over when the model is still quite young. There are exceptions, of course. But, by and large, it is a very young woman's career. Most models start modelling professionally while still in their teens. Anyone entering into that field of work should be made aware that their entire modelling career could be over by the time they're 30. It's a sad reality of the job. There will always be models younger than you climbing the ranks. There's no age limit on being a musician. As long as you can play your instrument, you can work. Older musicians are valued for their experience, and its not unusual for musicians to work into their 70's and 80's. Unfortunately, older women aren't valued for their looks, and, in certain jobs (like modelling), "older" can mean over 30-35.
I have epiretinal detachment in both eyes (which leaves googly eyes like in cartoons in my vision) and thousands of floaters to the point it covers small words in average size print. I was told they could remove the vitreous fluid in my eyes and replace it with something else and it would greatly improve my vision BUT since I have autoimmune disorders my body could think the fluid it a foreign body and my own body could destroy my eyes and leave me blind. So unless my eyes get to the point that I’m blind, I will not consider it! Even then I’m afraid it could damage surrounding tissue, so basically I am chicken.
Ok this needs to be said.. standard pre-surgical evaluations do not include a workup for scleroderma. Not every adverse reaction is able to be predicted or dependent on your surgeon’s skill, don’t mess with your face with ELECTIVE SURGERY unless you’re willing to accept the risk, no matter how small, it may end up looking worse than before
My sister had a myomectomy. A few yrs later I needed one too. Same hospital, same surgeon, but very different results. The way I scarred! I was unable to wear a bikini for yrs. I finally embraced my "battles scars". Lesson for me was that I could NEVER do plastic surgery. My body/skin won't tolerate it
Completely irrelevant but I thought you’d find this funny- I recently discovered your twin, and I was out of my mind for a minute with this crazy conspiracy about you two (I will admit…. I was inebriated lmfao). I thought Robert was actually you using your skills in video editing to make yourself look like someone ever so slightly different as like… a parody channel to all the people who edit their videos to look “perfect.” Basically I thought you put a scar over your eyebrow with editing and changed your face a bit like you showed us in that one video to mess with people. I was looking everywhere for proof…. Then I found your duo-channel…. I was like, “Ohhhhh- there’s two of them…!” Bahahahahaha!! 🤦🏻♀️😅
Uhh, yes, waiter? I'll have what they're having! 😊 to be fair I was confused as well, at first, but the story you developed is top tier and way more amusing!
I suffered from cystic acne from about ten years until my early twenties. Yes it’s painful and people make rude comments. But I found the best thing you can do is try to find a cleanser/mask/exfoliation that works for you and wash your face in the shower so you get really clean and rinsed and wait for your body to grow out of it. This isn’t going to make painful acne go away, but using harsh medications and treatments and skincare only make it wayyy worse, at least in my experience. Acne is caused primarily by hormones. For me, I’ve used Burt’s Bees Deep Pore cleanser for over a decade (I know some people don’t like Burt’s or scrubs but it has worked for me.)
I'm curious what products messed up that models face. I know I cannot use certain things and if I do it will make my face do that. I learned in highschool after buying Proactive. It worked well for my bf so I begged and begged and finally my dad ordered it. (This was back when they only had three, maybe four products and you HAD to order the set ). My face got worse and a lot of people said that would happen before it got better. And then it just kept getting worse. I switched to Burt's Bees and I finally figured out what worked for MY skin and skin issues. Now I'm with Mario Badescue for life.
There are huge important nerves in your face and paralysis and chronic pain are risks to things like facelifts. Looks like they also took way too much fat out of her face and too much skin off her eyes....
Only at 5:35 but I've done extensive research on scleroderma and it isn't something you have your entire life from birth, it's an onset condition. So it's entirely possible she had no issues previously and then had something come later. Waiting to see if this is mentioned again...footnote: why does she have no irises in some pictures?
hi james! can you please do a review on the new elf invisible sunscreen? i tried it and it is literally invisible but has a texture i have never felt with a sunscreen before. i just wanted to know your thoughts on it ❤
I had bought a Ecooking night cream once and it broke me out horribly. I have acne for most of my life but it's not THAT severe and it's couple of pimples at a time. After that cream my whole lower jaw was covered in painful and inflaming pimples. It took me almost 6 month to repair all of the damage. So I completely understand how use of such products can cause this effect
I do not understand the obsession with pretending to be younger. Why are people trying to blend in with people in their teens/early 20s it seems very weird and suspicious to me.
I'm looking at the ingredients of some of the Makari facial moisturizer with an SPF and I wouldn't touch it. I have seriously sensitive skin and have to avoid things with parabens (they actually break me out and it took years to figure out) and anything with "benz" in it. And just this 1 moisturizer has 2 parbens in it and the SPF is a chemical Benzophenone-3, aka Oxybenzone (which also breaks me out). Top that off with it containing Citrus Limonum (lemon), Ascorbic Acid (Vitaminc C), AND Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate)...and I just can't see why anyone would use this. These ingredients aren't necessarily bad, just not in a daytime moisturizer even with a low SPF as they make your skin more photosensitive...and you shouldn't really use vitamin C AND Retinyl at the same time (one at night, one in the morning). So I mean, this one moisturizer is a nightmare for someone with sensitive skin.
tbh as someone who has had really bad acne on my cheeks and later it got better, I know that having relapses would just make me really really anxious because of just that "but it was okay before" situation. I imagine suddenly having to go through that when you haven't even had prior experience with such situations must've been horrible so I definitely feel for her. plus let's not forget the physical pain/itchy-ness/discomfort. and ofc this is all without even accounting for her career/hyper-critical modeling environment.
it may not be the formula of the products, that type of "break out" appears to be bacterial in nature. That company needed to immediately pull those batches in for testing, because the product could have been exposed to some "bug". No matter how hard we try to keep contaminants out of ISO labs, there's no accounting for that one worker that sneezes w/o their PPE, the one worker that wants to dip their finger in a batch to "try it". I know it sounds ridiculous, but believe me, that kind of irresponsibility happens.
It looks like it was a photo taken for medical evidence reasons or something like that, so they might have just whited out her eyes sort of like how doctors place a bar over patient eyes
This is so sad, and part of the reason I’m scared to try a lot of products. I have very sensitive skin and a “gentle retinol” burned the shit out of my skin and took months to heal. It’s so depressing when this happens.
When I was in college, I bought a clensing gel from a very popular and liked brand from my country. I washed my face in the evening and the next morning, I woke up unable to open my left eye. When I looked in the morning, my face looked like someone beat the cr*p out of me. I was purple, swollen, I just looked awful. Luckily I covered everything with my make-up because I didn't want to show up at my university looking like this. It took me months to heal. Purple turned to yellow and brow and my skin had a texture of a sand paper. It has been years and to this day I do not touch that brand.
Scleroderma can be positively diagnosed with bloodwork. Either she has it or she doesn’t. My first concern would have been that she was able to get a facelift, eyelid surgery and buccal fat removal all for $3k…..I understand it was Russia but I would expect it to be a lot more if it was by reputable surgeons. I doubt she could get buccal fat removal alone for $3k in the US.
Scleroderma is a progressive autoimmune disease, so you can develop it at any point and it progresses unpredictably. Illnesses and surgeries often cause the autoimmune system to work harder and trigger your disease process to start or get worse. If she hadn't developed scleroderma when she had a nose job she could have healed well and in between then and this surgery her disease became active. It's very much possible. I'm a former medical professional who is now disabled with multiple sclerosis, another progressive autoimmune immune disease. Autoimmune disorders can affect pretty much any part of your body in any number of horrifying and unpredictable ways. It's why they're incredibly difficult to diagnose and treat.
Swiss skin care products are usually really great But then again there could be 1 Ingredient can destroy your skin. Rule #1 Stick With + use with What u know! When Elizabeth Arden destroyed My skin 4 many months I got Very Depressed but What could have been worse Myself being a dark Skinned woman
I’m not a model but if I had a reaction like the model mentioned in the skin irritation story I would be DEVASTATED. I’m a nobody and my family would still love me-but even then, it would be so distressing. If you’ve had good skin your whole life a huge change like that would be awful.
ECP here. I have seen sooo many blepharoplasty procedures go wrong. People left unable to close their eyes all the way causing debilitating dry eye at best. There is a new drop called Upneeq in the US. I urge anyone and everyone to speak with their eye doctor to see if they are a candidate prior to committing to surgery.
The Dr.s could have tested her for a positive ANA blood test. This could have told them if she has an Autoimmune Disorder. However, it’s a very expensive test and even to get it to treat for a more common disease, Lupus, is hard to get insurance to cover it. Plus, even having a positive ANA, doesn’t tell you what type of Autoimmune Disorder you have. It takes months with symptoms to figure that out. The Dr.s could not have known she had this.
This condition doesn't show up on those tests as do most autoimmune conditions. It works more for conditions like lupus or other degenerative autoimmune conditions
Even if they did do an ANA test, theres no saying her results were positive on the day of surgery. A lot of us with autoimmune diseases dont test positive every time
@ayajade6683 there is actually no one definitive test for lupus, it is diagnosed with a lot of factors in mind. Its not simple to diagnose at all, hence why so many of us wait years before getting our actual diagnosis.
@@abigailxmary ANA is primarily used for lupus due to how the condition works you may have the condition but my background is in genetics so I know exactly what the tests are a for and what their primary functions are hence using LIKE lupus in my original comments
I had a product once that burned my neck - I'm talking took the complete top layer off my neck, left a wound, then a giant scab, and then a scar. I was left wearing scarves for months - even in warm weather. I think part of this was my fault - it was supposed to be on the face only and for removing hyperpigmentation/dark spots. And it did that wonderfully for my face. I think I already had a thin cut on my neck (I had to shave a few hairs there every now and then) and the product mixed with that. The only reason I can explain why my face was ok but not my neck.
I'm sticking to Noxema and rosewater with glycerin. I've been using Noxema (for cleansing and moisturizing) since I was 13 yrs old, and rosewater and glycerin for the past 20 years. The picture you see is only a few months ago, I'm going to be 60 this June.
I had one session of Cool Sculpting. But after the machine caused that mass, they massaged the area to spread it back out. They didn’t let me leave looking like that. I have no complaints about my session.
Perfection does exist...when you look in the mirror! Ammariiiiight!! Ps. Im horribly allergic to benzyl peroxide. Broke me out in awful hives, itchy burning, and very very hot. Ironically used it for getting rid of acne and it turned my whole face into a giant, red pimple.
I feel like we need to also talk about how such a sudden change in your looks, in your face that you yourself see everyday in the mirror/phone, can really, REALLY mess with your mental health.
I couldn't like this comment fast enough
Oh yes! It’d mess with you a lot! 😢
Even a slow change can be devastating. My acne got worse and worse all through high school and I would skip school and stay home because I was so ashamed of my face. But overnight?!! I can't imagine how awful that would feel.
Honestly, this never occurred to me. But it makes perfect sense!
As a trans person, yes, I think trans people do talk about it a lot, even gradual changes that we can't control can mess you up, because it's this horrid realisation that you don't actually control your body.
I remember that I felt pretty okay with my body until puberty started, then everything went wrong, it was horrible, it felt like full blown body horror for me. The way we see ourselves and the way we look like are important to how we feel. No one should tell anyone otherwise, it's so cruel how people dismiss how stressful changes in our bodies can be.
Not being able to blink/close your eyes properly after a bleph means they literally took away too much skin from the eyelids. It should always be done very conservatively because you can always go back and remove more skin, but you can't put it back. Sounds like they also hit major nerves in her face. The surgeons are absolutely at fault.
No they're not she literally has been confirmed to have the condition by her own experts she's just trying find something to blame instead of getting therapy

I had a reaction to a “natural” skin care brand and contacted the company who suggested I could be sensitive to essential oils. But they took it really seriously and sent a courier to collect the product and run tests to rule out contamination or a bad batch. I won’t use the brand again but was impressed by the care the company took and how quickly they dealt with it. My reaction wasn’t bad just a light rash and itching luckily
@dizzieblonde yes, they removed the evidence. I want to believe it was to check the product.

Sometimes even more, because natural ingredients are often mixtures of different components and the ratio's may differ. And essential oil are notorious for causing allergic reactions.

I don’t know why people are so quick to put down modeling careers. Imagine if you were a mathematician and a product caused you to incur brain damage, and you weren’t able to work in that profession any longer. Would we say “boo hoo” and tell them to just work retail or something? Probably not. Modeling is a career like any other and if you’re unable to work in that field it’s just devastating.
I think a lot of it is plain old fashioned envy.
I think it's because people tend to think of models as just being lucky and winning the genetic lottery with little to no effort put into their career, which may be true for some however to whom you are born is a lottery in general so I don't see why people single out and hate on models. Also a lot of models work gruelling hours and often work hard to maintain their appearance.
People wouldn't dream of saying that to someone like a brain surgeon who had a faulty product injure their hand, for example.
Honestly, though, well said! There's just an incredible amount of work that goes into keeping your looks up it's not solely all genetics. My mother always said everyone has a beautiful model face with the right makeup, lighting, and professional photographer. What makes the big difference is if you put the effort into caring for your skin just as much as you care for your mind and heart. I'm a ballerina and had a time in my life and career when I was just so tired of doing things that I couldn't be half-assed to do anything that I usually did to care for my skin. In a few months my clear skin was ruined, and getting back into shape so to say took so much consistent work and mental effort that was honestly so hard on days where I spent it dancing and practicing away. It's not always just as simple as being born pretty, it's also work and discipline that are invested into yourself for your career.

I have systemic scleroderma and haven't scarred even close to this. Scleroderma can be diagnosed with a simple test. These surgeons messed up.
my moms mother had the same diagnosis as you, and i agree with everything you said
Maybe they were live streaming to IG during her surgery.
Same here. The only thing I've had go wrong due to my systemic scleroderma is an abdominal surgery came un done and the doc said it may have been because of ss.
As for the Russian model's case, she seems to be suffering from bilateral facial nerve palsy. It can either be the result of buccal fat removal (a very botched procedure) or it can sometimes manifest as a symptom of scleroderma, when the disease affects the nervous system. The differential diagnosis can be made by a (relatively simple) nerve conduction study.
I'm sure you know more about scleroderma than me, but my understanding is that it's an autoimmune disease, so a major trauma like surgery that causes massive inflammation could definitely cause this level of a reaction. And there's multiple types and stages, of course, so some cases are more severe than others. I've read that scleroderma is diagnosed by looking for a collection of indicators, especially in the early stages, too, and it's rare enough that doctors don't look for it unless those indicators show up, which they often don't until it starts to progress. What am I missing?
The skincare brand that caused the model's horrible breakouts (Makari de suisse) seems incredibly scammy... as someone who is Swiss I feel I should point out that I've seen lots of skincare brands abroad (especially in Asia) that are marketed as being 'Swiss' to try and convince people that they're trustworthy brands with innovative formulations (some with a veryyy high price point), when those brands are not available in Switzerland itself and aren't actually produced/developed in Switzerland. Not to be a patriot lol but Switzerland has strict laws on what can & can't be labelled as Swiss products (like how Toblerone had to change their packaging), so if you see skincare marketed as being Swiss, I would def recommend double- and triple-checking that!
So research!!!!
Do your own research.
This and from someone from asia, i hate when products market themselves as something from certain country. Too bad it works and that's why it still continues to this day.
Not all skincare products from Asia are bad though. Korean and Japanese skincare products are some of the best in the world. Cle de Peau soap (from Japan) is the best I have ever used and got rid of my the stubborn milia around my eyes in a matter of weeks.
I only use trusted brands from Japan, Korea, France (Avene , laroche posay), USA(only major brands/ doctor brands like Zeoskin, Jan Marini).
I don’t trust any Chinese skincare or makeup considering how much fake products are from there as well.
Toblerone is not Swiss? 😀

I wanted to talk about something as someone who is not a super model. People who don’t have severe skin issues can not possibly understand the severe psychological and emotional pain that comes with them. I have struggled with moderate to severe acne my entire life. And a compulsive skin picking disorder that makes things so much worse sometimes. There are times when I literally do not want to leave the house. Not only do you feel SO ugly but it literally hurts!! It’s painful. I have also had two bouts of severe fungal infections on my face that resulted in weeping and crusting wounds all over my face. They both lasted for about a month and the itching was so bad I couldn’t sleep at night. I would just lay on my bed and cry. I really hate to see people downplay skin disorders or skin complications like it’s just a vanity issue. If you haven’t been there, don’t comment on it. You don’t have to be a model to be incredibly negatively impacted by these things. 😢 peace and love to anyone who has skin issues ❤

I won't wear v necks or anything that shows my chest. Can't wear a bra bc it causes massive breakouts along bra line. Luckily, I have very small boobs so it isn't noticeable that I don't wear one. I spend my nights slathered in product that helps heal it but never prevents it. It is driving me insane. I will be clear one day and five minutes later have itchy, painful, pinpoint red bumps all over the top half of my body, sans my face (thankfully.) The break outs are instantaneous, not like pimples. It is strange and frustrating and terrible for self-esteem. Add to that, I struggled with bad body and fsce acne as a teen and was always on antibiotics and pills to rein it in. I've had terrible skin my whole life. So I absolutely understand you and I hope things get better for you. Good luck.
I saw a woman try and sue a cosmetic surgeon because she couldn’t blink. she wanted an eyelid lift and they removed way too much of her eyelid, eyes stuck open in a wide eye shocked look. She lost the case because the jury said it was elective! Elective! I understand there’s risk involved but when plastic surgeons don’t even get a slap on the wrist it just shows them they can botch people left and right with zero consequences. It’s disturbing, this isn’t like going to a country where it’s cheaper because Theyr doing it illegally, that’s a true risk, these are in expensive high end offices with popular surgeons. The jury didn’t care they felt no mercy was it jealousy? Because they couldn’t get these things done? Why would you see a woman who can no longer blink because she has no eyelids left and get them back and say welp too bad you got the surgery to start if anything it’s youre fault. Smh
It’s probably a lot to do with prejudices surrounding cosmetic surgery. We also don’t know the full story and there might be more to it. Like did she pressure the doctor into making them higher, did she not take care of it post op and it contracted that way, etc. I’m not trying to blame the plaintiff, I’m just a vet myself and I have been accused of some wild stuff by people and unless you hear the full story I could be made to sound evil. Just like with that poor women who got 3rd degree burns from coffee and McDonalds turned the media against her, I wouldn’t want to misread a trial verdict based on one sides statements
Also probably due to misogyny and victim blaming, a lot of people have no empathy towards women who get these kinds of procedures.
Not to mention that medical adjacent court proceedings will usually go in favour of the doctor because of their status
The story is of a New Jersey woman named Marilyn Leisz. Her doctor was the one who suggested the procedure knowing she had previous work done on her eyes. She wasn’t a good candidate and he knew her history she trusted him and he over did it and sure maybe he made a mistake doctors and surgeons make major mistakes it’s going to happen we’re human but no real compensation by a jury for now a life long injury? Smh. someone can be awarded millions by a jury for tripping on a hotel lobby carpet lol but oh you can’t even blink anymore? you can’t garden? play sports? you can’t sleep without a mask? No tripping on a carpet you sir get millions lol it’s just comical. He elected to go into that lobby 😅
Holy hell, my morning coffe is also "elective", dosen't mean it would be ok to add ratshit to it!
Just imagine extending that way of thinking to the rest of society!?
Candy? Elective, sorry not sorry you got painted rocks.
Braces? Elective. We just pulled all the teeth instead.
Leg bitten of by a shark on vacation? Vacation and sea swimming is elective.
Women don't deserve justice ofc because they brought it on themselves with vanity~ that society requires them to have cough cough.
I used the popular Vanicream moisturizer for sensitive skin and it literally burnt my face. It was so bad especially around my eyes. I was in soooo much pain. They hurt so badly and my eyes were swollen shut. I ended up having to go to the dermatologist who had to give me steroids and other creams to calm my skin down. It was a chemical burn!! My eyes are still swollen underneath and it’s been over 9 months. I’m not a famous model but it still sucks to have something affect the skin on your face. You can’t hide your FACE! I learned really fast that I have to be careful about what I put on my skin.
vanicream moisturizer burned the crap out o fmy face too! i washed it off immediately
Wow that’s so crazy! I had a similar experience w cerave, but it just stung my face & caused some redness whenever I applied it. Ironically, the only moisturizer I’ve been able to use since is vanicream! Tbh I think it was partly my fault, at the time my skin barrier was pretty damaged & I wasn’t as informed on skincare as I am now; I had to make some major changes & do a LOT of research to heal it. However, I also think I might’ve also been sensitive or allergic to some specific ingredient. It’s crazy how different everyone’s skin is.

Considering Krasnodar is where that evil POS Paolo Macchiarini got his start in destroying people through surgery, I am not surprised to hear about what happened Yulia. That city is famous for malpractice at this point. I hope Yulia is surrounded by love and support ❤
That man was an absolute devil. It was absolutely wicked what he did to those people. The scandal is how long he got away with it. Medicine attracts lots of good and decent ppl motivated by good intentions but it also attracts a small group that see patients bodies and lives as little more than their personal playground, there simply as a ways and means of them achieving money, notoriety and respect. Surgery seem to be most afflicted with these types. Machiarini is a classic example and very high profile but there have been many over the years. They all show next to no interest in the patient once they have done their 'work.' The relatively new field of transgender medicine has given such ppl a whole new field in which to make their name. Horror stories abound of surgeons promising much and being unable to deliver, worse, leaving young patients with chronic pain, infections and loss of function. Amazingly they seem to be allowed to just break off contact and ignore the same patients they were once so attentive to pre surgery leaving them to find another to fix their handiwork. Unsurprisingly good surgeons are reluctant to touch them and risk being associated with such work.
That awful tiktok plastic surgeon is another example, filming her patients while unconscious and uncovered whilst dancing for tiktok videos in the OR!! Women getting breast implants being exposed half naked to strangers whilst unconscious, botched work and again, an unwillingness to engage with dissatisfied patients post surgery.
How those patients of Macchiarini suffered! So sad.

I’ve had skincare reactions so bad that literally split open my skin on my face. This didn’t happen when I was trying new skincare. It happened after I had used the products for over a yr. So always be aware of skin changes. It can happen at anytime.

removing fat from the face does not make a person look youthful. Quite the opposite actually. I Hate that procedure and I wish people would stop doing it.
Isn't it sad that so many people fell for the buccal fat removal procedure fad?
Poor Liam Payne destroyed his handsome face a year ago with a combination of buccal fat removsl and jaw enhancement surgery. Shockingly grotesque

@@clairecarscallen yea he looks terrible. He was much more handsome before. Zac Efron is a good example too.
@@Sophia-lc9ow This is my 3rd attempt at replying to you. The first time it disappeared after I typed it; then when I was almost finished typing it again, my battery ran out and I lost it again!
Third time lucky? Here goes: Regarding Liam’s face: A couple of days ago, I did see recent pics of him with his girlfriend Ella, in which he did look somewhat better.
He seems to have had some of the extreme jaw bone implants removed, and maybe had some fat put back in his cheeks.
Apparently the problem with the cheek fat removal is that the process damages the collagen structure needed to hold the fat in place, so putting fat back is rarely successful; it just acts like fillers that have be continually renewed.
Poor guy is going to have life long problems with it now.
Such a shame what lack of confidence can do. How could he not know he was very handsome, with a beautifully symmetrical, pleasing face shape?
I always think it makes people look like they are extremely anorexic
I used a peel off mask once (not sure which brand), that stripped my skin barrier and left me with perioral/periocular dermatitis. It was so bad! Thankfully it was during the pandemic and I was able to stay home and let my skin heal, not wearing make up. It took a long time to return to normal. Its just so unsettling when something like that happens.
Ceramides are your friend in these cases!! Eucerin has some amazing options
It is very common that skin care products cause inflammation on ppl with darker skin. Any product that causes irritation could cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It’s a common side effect of any anti-aging products such as acids and retinoids.
I randomly developed an allergy to formaldehyde in high school (it is better now but pretty much in everything, especially hair and skin care, makeup etc). Before this my skin was perfectly clear. After, my skin had severe cystic acne all over, itchy bumpy rashes, hyperpigmentation, tons of scaring, and literally parts of my face would be so broken open and damaged you'd think an animal attacked me. I think it can pop up at any time and if you're switching or using products a lot, or getting procedures done, it can be easy to blame that. Sometimes it really is just our own body, it changes a lot regardless of our past norms.
For anyone interested, we tried a lot of things between 2010-2014 with no help at all and it just got worse and worse. I was physically sick from my allergic reaction. Finally when I could afford it (my dermatologist wanted me to get this done ASAP but we had to wait for $$$), I got chemical patch testing done. 100 patches of chemicals m-w, another 100 w-f. I BARELY reacted to formaldehyde, but once I removed it (foods like apples, products etc). I was fine. It took a few years to get my skin back to normal and to get used to knowing what to look out for. If you have had a mystery reaction or acne etc. get tested ifyou can!
Formaldehyde like the embalming liquid?
@@alexisasheep6554 it used to be a common preservative in skincare products. It was (relatively) safe but some people were sensitive to it so companies switched to phenoxyethanol (same with parabens). Ironically now people are becoming allergic to phenoxyethanol so they’re beginning to switch to new preservatives again lol
EVERYONE is allergic to Formaldehyde, it's a dangerous carcinogenic.
Formaldehyde is in skincare??? Wtf
Formaldehyde in apples???
I’m beyond horrified. This gave me chills and just made me EXTRA fearful of procedures. It’s always a risk.
I feel like we should talk more about so many young girls and women nowadays pumping their faces with filler. Cheeks, jaw, nose, lips, undereye etc. And are told that filler dissolves which is a lie! Filler migrates! What will these young womens faces look like in a couple of years when they keep adding more filler...
I too am suspicious of filler. I hear different things about it from different people. I suppose in time the truth will come out.
Agreed. Plus, all of these procedures are popular because the people performing them are profiting by making you insecure
We literally have the scientific research happening in front of us, right now. People are so quick to change themselves instead of accepting the miracle of God’s creation. I just watched a video talking about Kylie Jenner and how her filler has given her bags under her eyes… 🍿👀
@@anthropomorphicpeanut6160YES!! It’s such bullshit!!
Makes people look heavier, like they put on weight in their faces. The moon face look, if they keep topping up. They get used to the look of filler, they think it's gone after a certain time and keep doing it. Personally, I think young people should stay away from procedures when they are already as perfect as they'll ever be. Looking "done" as a young person also makes them look older unfortunately. Then there's these risks.
I worked in optometry for years and sent a lot of older people for routine blepharoplasty- I have never had someone come back with anything but some post-op swelling. Horrifying. :( and the agony of chronic dry eyes is not something I’d wish on anyone

People underestimate how much it affects your self esteem to suddenly become unattractive, Especially when you yourself put so much of your worth into your looks.
For me it was acne, and I went from being complimented every time I left the house to even my partners never really mentioning my looks. Sometimes people would comment on ways to fix my acne, but that’s it.
Like, boohoo, woe is me, all that stuff, but it is pretty hurtful to have a clear visualization of everyone suddenly deciding you’re not pretty anymore.

Years ago Bare Minerals powder foundation was all the rage. I am not acne prone at all but the bismuth in that product gave me a million little bumps all over my skin. Which was a shame because the makeup looked great. I also have this reaction to chemical sunscreens which is why I hate it when they add them to foundations.
Same here. Had a makeover with their products and bought them, the brushes, etc. Within a week my skin was red and bumpy with pustules. Had to go on antibiotics and a steroid cream for four weeks to calm it down. Dr said the bismuth can be an irritant to some.
Oh my goodness I had a similar situation! It was a long time ago, but it was when mineral makeup first became popular. It wasn't bare minerals brand, but the one I used was fine when I put it on, so I went to work like normal. As soon as I started sweating tho, my face started burning and itching like crazy, it was so bad I had to run to the bathroom and wash my face at work. My skin was red and bumpy for days, and I've never tried any mineral makeup since.
I have the exact same reaction to most sunscreens, every time it happens I get massively scared of putting on any sunscreen and it takes me a while to convince myself to try another one. Not to mention the waste it creates, I just give those to my mum and sister but it's honestly a bane.
Same with me. I’m not good with certain metallic minerals. So can’t use any brands like Bare Minerals or any mineral sun creams
Sadly this does actually look like scleroderma, which can be triggered with any random injury to the skin, even where it hadn't in the past. It can come and go randomly too. Her cheeks are typical scleroderma from my experience. The eyelid thing sounds like malpractice, however, so perhaps it's a mixture of both? But it does show how "low risk" procedures can still trigger things without rhyme, reason or prior indication, unfortunately.
Does scleroderma eat away at ur facial tissue? Genuinely curious
She had the tissue removed from her checks-that was the mini liposuction . scleroderma is spontaneous scarring, so when they did the surgery, she had excessive scarring.
I didn't have acne until my early 20s, and have had really bad (and painful - acne can be really effing painful) bouts every now and again over the past decade... and Mariama's reaction to her sudden acne sounds very much like my own... and my face is not my livelihood. I empathise so deeply with her, acne can be extremely damaging to one's mental health (and also... really effing painful!)
I have always thought how painful physically cystic acne must be. I mean they are just like small boils/abcesses really. I had an abcess on the back of my leg and the pain was incredible. So much so that when it burst (yuk) on the way to the hospital the relief was so instant and so great it was pleasurable!
Although smaller I can see how painful it must be, especially sleeping if you have it on your back or if you sleep with your face pressed onto the pillow.
I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. I don't underestimate what it must do to your confidence. 😢
Check that you are not reacting to milk. I hd acne for two decades only to find out milk was the cause 😩
Could be milk
The second story is a good example of why it is so important to do a patch test when using new products.
There's merit to the doctors claim of scleroderma. You can't definitively test for it, you can be healthy (both appearing and in blood tests) until you have a system insult that causes it to flare. You could have a dozen surgeries and not have a flare up... until you do.
Of course, this could also be a convenient excuse for the doctors. I think that if they claim she has scleroderma, tests could be done while she's having symptoms (that they say she's having) to support that claim.
However, even without scleroderma, at least some of her symptoms could be explained by damaged nerves and could not be the result of gross negligence (which are not always the same). I wonder how malpractice insurance works in Russia 🤔
I had autoimmune tests done that had markers for limited scleroderma, yet I have no sign of the disease. Wouldn’t something still show up on autoimmune tests for her then?
12:56 I don't necessarily think it's the brand's fault, I'm assuming the person was allergic to an ingredient they use in their products (probably a fragrance ingredient they use across all of their products). As long as the product follows government-approved regulations I don't think companies should be liable for people being allergic to ingredients, regardless of if the consumer knows they have the allergy or not. This is why it's so important to patch test things especially if they contain active ingredients or fragrance.
100% agree. Unfortunately some people are just going to have reactions 🤷🏽♂️
I remember seeing warnings on products from The Ordinary about always doing a patch test to check for reactions, but don't remember if it was the bottles or the website. I haven't seen this precaution on products from other companies although it seems a really good idea.
@@gisellesoons6583I do skin patch test on everything I use on my skin.
You would think, given that someone is a model, they are using other products which can interact, and this is their livelihood, as well as the fact that what works for you may not work for me and vice versa, patch testing would be standard.
a few years ago, i tried a product from farmacy. it burned my skin. i contacted the company, to let them know, and to see what ingredient may have caused it. they literally responded with " there's nothing in our products that can cause a reaction". i understand that reactions can happen, but to flat out say no...well, i haven't given them any more money.

I will say, scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder that like many others you don't always test positive for even if you have it, or can test for the gentic issue without any symptoms. And it often doesn't start affecting you until you are past 30-40.
If it is autoimmune, then they can test your white blood cells, even after the flare up, because your body stays on alert. I would think they can probably also take a look at the type of scarring using imaging or at the tissue itself with biopsy and determine whether it is normal scar development or abnormal at the cellular level
@@TheBaumcmthat’s actually not how scleroderma works, it’s often auto Antibody negative, early diagnosis from clinical suspicion with capillaroscopy and minor symptoms, raynaud etc meeting the diagnostic criteria is a lucky find
I've seen footage of some plastic surgery procedures and it was enough to deter me from ever getting anything. The cutting, ripping, stuffing, and breaking is terrifying.
I worked with models for a few years (as an MUA) and they are under a LOT of pressure. It's not an easy job. It /can be/ a very lucrative job, and a lot of people who enter this industry are looking to make fast money. They are not always discerning about skin care and will try anything if it gets them a job. They are used to being talked about as if they aren't there when photographers give instructions to makeup and hair people to "fix her nose" or "hide her forehead" and such. You are also correct about Photoshop retouching - especially 10 years ago, it was hard to make retouching look good, so most photographers (for print work) wanted to do as little as necessary. Makeup looked WEIRD sometimes and models want to take it off before they leave, often using horrible detergent wipes and what not. Breakouts were common, empathy for it was not. If you are working at the big brand level, I can't even imagine how it must feel if you suddenly find yourself unable to work, and at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you made dumb decisions that lead to it... you're still out of work. :(
James I saw the Makari products on the thumbnail and I screamed NOOOOO!! I started using Makari in January this year and my skin has thanked me ever since. However, when I was leaving to go to Miss Universe last month I did not have enough time to order from their website so I bought it from a shop here in Ireland. The consistency of the product, the smell, everything was different but it had the exact same ingredients listed on the bottle. I broke out at the pageant from using this product. I think the biggest problem that Makari have, in my opinion, is the retailers in shops selling them because I have heard from my aunties and mum that they are selling cheaper versions of the products so my guess is that they are manufacturing "dupes". P.S. James, I LOVE YOUR CONTENT
I would agree. I only buy from their US website or their US partner site LovelySkin
Most places Makari being a dupe is alot of African stores. I am not sure if they manufacture it there.

Even as an average person having something affect your face so dramatically can cause emotional damage. I was on antibiotics for a week, and I knew you shouldn't expose yourself to direct sunlight while taking antibiotics. I had been off of them for two days, and thought it'd be safe to resume my daily trips with my dogs to the creek. We'll, I ended up with dark patches on my forehead. I'd pile on spf but it didn't matter, any sun exposure for YEARS would cause these patches to get very dark, very quickly. I only took a few pictures in the span of at least 5 years. It was awful. Makeup made it look even worse so I stopped wearing makeup beside mascara and eyebrow product. My kids would ask me why I don't take pictures with them anymore and they didn't really understand because boys always think their momma looks beautiful. It was just temporary thankfully but it did last several years. I was a total sun bum and I avoided the sun as much as possible during that time. If I did take my dogs and/or kids to the creek, instead of running around and playing with them I'd find a shaded area and stay there. It sucked. Going there and connecting with nature, my dogs and my boys was a HUGE part of my life back then. I taught my kids how to tell time with shadows, how to have a safe emergency fire (that was back before the massive drought in California) taught them to identify animal tracks, how to forage food, etc. It was my passion. And it ended because I went in the sun before the antibiotics were completely out of my system. And I'm not a vain person. I think natural is beautiful, I never really cared about how I looked to other people as long as I felt good about myself and I didn't feel good at all! .
I myself had severe reactions to several skincare products. Sometimes I wasn't able to distinguish what I had reacted so badly to. It took me ages to figure out I do react very sensitively to essential oils, fragrance, denatured alcohol, chemical filters (used in sunscreen), most active ingredients and some types of natural oils. Reactions that can occur are severe redness all over my face, looking like sunburn, irritations on the cheeks, intense and painful breakouts. Ever since I am aware of this, I avoid those ingredients (which gets harder every time, I feel, cause many product lines add actives to their ingredient list because they are so hyped, even foundation is now made with niacinamide, vitamin c and stuff like that which made me not buy my former favorite foundation anymore ever since they reformulated it) and my skin looks so much better.
Thing is: I didn't know all this and when I started getting mild breakouts during puberty, basically everything that was done and I had done to my face to make it better, made it way worse and I got told by dermatologists, estheticians and gynecologists that it was just a hormonal imbalance and I would not be able to clear up my skin with anything but hormonal treatments, which made my skin look and feel even worse, no bloodwork was done, they just assumed things and I was so naive to trust them with all this. I tried tretinoin which helped for as long as I took it, but my skin went back to what it was before the treatment when my "therapy" was over. I asked several doctors if I may just have a food allergy or something, they all laughed at me. I later figured out I actually am lactose intolerant which messed with my digestion a lot and also react weirdly to any soy product besides lecithin. So I did get lactase pills and avoided soy and my skin already got better, but only in some areas. When I did learn more about how my skin reacts to certain skincare products, it got even better and I now only get breakouts when I accidentally ate soy or the week prior to my period.
Thing is: The acne I had was mainly cystic and hurt really badly. It also did not just affect my face, I had breakouts all over my scalp, the upper back, my shoulders, upper arms and my chest. It was so bad that wearing a bag or a backpack was not only uncomfortable but really painful, also showering was painful and just touching my skin to clean it, felt like I got a thousand severe bruises everywhere. I still got bumpy scars all across my upper back and the top of my shoulders. My face got away a bit better, there is texture due to scarring but not as bad as it could've been. I sometimes wish I could go back in time and make myself know about all this way earlier. That's basically the only thing in my entire life I would like to erase from my past because it brought so many mental issues to the table that I really didn't need. Especially all the bullying at school and all the activities I didn't wanna participate because I didn't wanna show my face and upper body to anyone. I did miss out on a lot of things when I was a teen and in the beginning of my twenties. So a lot of mistakes have been made when I was in my late 20's. And no, having a skin condition and feeling ugly af and unworthy is not just superficial. It goes way deeper than that. And funny enough, now that my skin is so much better, I don't care about what other people think of my looks anymore. Some days I don't even care about how I look. But I am also not a model and don't have to rely on looking good enough to get booked and earn money.
(To make you understand a bit better: I started getting breakouts at the age of 11 and I am 36 now. Some of those things I had figured out at the age of 21, others in my late 20's but most I just learned about, so my skin always went back and forth from looking somewhat decent to looking very horrible and hurt like crazy until a few months ago.)
I absolutely understand why people who come out of treatments/procedures with a severe reaction or get really bad skin due to a product do freak out and feel like they are robbed of something that was very important for them.
Word of mouth reviews are the best review in my opinion. Online ones can be faked and if people you actually know in real life are happy and you can see the results, it’s much more helpful. Very costly mistake, you only get one body and face
I had exactly the same problem with Makari. I read the reviews on Amazon and expected wonderful outcomes so purchased the product but within 2days my skin was an absolute mess. Cystic acne and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which took almost 6months to clear. It was a terrible experience for my skin and self confidence. I honestly thought it was just me
With all the sudden triggering images poppin on our screens without warning I found your trigger warning so refreshing and considerate of you. Thank you ❤
As someone whos undergone needed serious surgeries i like can not handle the idea of surgery for looks. i know there are some cases where i prob would. like large burns or something broke bad but I pray to God I dont have to have anymore surgeries. Its literally traumatic. I have ptsd im like darn sure from all that. I had to cause crohns disease was killing me but like i used to want breast implants but no. no no no. especially after seeing how sick it makes some women.
This my first time watching and hearing you. I'm totally captivates by you.❤
0:43 Same thing, decades ago, Rosacea triggered by a supposedly specialist face cream (Avène)
Rosehip oil ruined my skin, I used it for redness and skin sensitivity anti ageing etc etc. Over time my skin ended up having like keloid like bumps, and my skin would burn if I put anything on it, like parrafin wax even, it was horrid and lasted like 3 months, I was worried my skin was never going to be the same, luckily it eventually went back, but I couldn't imagine that never going away or ending up completely disfigured possibly permanently
I don't get along with rosehip oil either. Sun sensitivity, yet it's marked as the best thing since sliced bread
Dealing with an allergic reaction to Rosehip oil now.
So they can hire a model with vitiligo but can't hire a model with hyperpigmentation?
Box ticking is huge nowadays
@@jesclifford88what box would that be??
theres lots of cases of people going blind from face lift procedure, yall be careful
Anybody can get an allergic reaction. When you go for surgery, they ask you what you are allergic to. If you don't know, they don't know. It's not like they will test you. What they will talk to you about is the risks associated with any procedures, but everybody swears they were not told, until their signature pops up on the pre op document.
So why don't they test for it? I know for a fact that blood tests are done before a procedure. But then again its Russia so........
Test for what? There are millions of allergies. The OP is right. If you don't know, they won't know. The pre op documents will say "no known allergies" or the operation cannot legally happen
what is that have to do with Russia? Scleroderma is extremely tear autoimmune decease, nobody will test you for that before operation. But again, you are just brainless worm, so...

I wonder if having the procedures kicked off an immune response disaster. It’s possible the nose surgery, while a big deal, is less demanding on your body. Just a thought.
We also don't know when she has her nose job. A 20 year old body is often in better health and heals much faster and seamlessly than one decades older. People need to start realizing surgery, any surgery, is serious business and comes with considerable risks. I feel awful for her, that said I've had bad side effects from topical, meds, etc. tread cautiously y'all
She's also in the age range the condition shows up her nose job was before she was 30
Surgery is an assault on the body and can set so many things in motion that can have a cascading effect.
If my face was my job I would NEVER risk a new product
I'm 32 and still struggle with acne (bad genetics + oily scalp and skin). I'm extremely careful with the products I use because of how sensitive it is--and even then, I break out the week before my period without fail. It really affects my self-confidence, especially during a breakout. It's really depressing that a model can lose her career from acne because brands don't want to be associated with someone who has it. I feel for her, and I wish skin texture, acne, and aging were more normalized, because they're all part of being human.
I have been considering surgery for vanity reasons. I needed this video.
My mom has scleroderma.
She’s had it since forever, her main issue is blood flow to her hands and feet. Her fingers turn purple in the cold. Not sure if she has ever had much more issue with it beyond that. It’s painful too.
She's extremely lucky if her one main symptom is raynauds. I have it too so i know how painful it can be, but small mercies i guess
thank you for another unapologetically educational video🩷
If someone broke a concert pianist’s hands and left them unable to ever play again, would those people say “lol boohoo get a job in retail”? Some jobs require specific attributes that can be lost and devastate you, and they’re still JOBS. They’re careers that people have been working their entire adult life, and suddenly it’s gone.
Modeling is a career that is usually over when the model is still quite young. There are exceptions, of course. But, by and large, it is a very young woman's career. Most models start modelling professionally while still in their teens. Anyone entering into that field of work should be made aware that their entire modelling career could be over by the time they're 30. It's a sad reality of the job. There will always be models younger than you climbing the ranks.
There's no age limit on being a musician. As long as you can play your instrument, you can work. Older musicians are valued for their experience, and its not unusual for musicians to work into their 70's and 80's. Unfortunately, older women aren't valued for their looks, and, in certain jobs (like modelling), "older" can mean over 30-35.
I hadn't thought about how autoimmune disorders might impact surgical results. :/
I have epiretinal detachment in both eyes (which leaves googly eyes like in cartoons in my vision) and thousands of floaters to the point it covers small words in average size print. I was told they could remove the vitreous fluid in my eyes and replace it with something else and it would greatly improve my vision BUT since I have autoimmune disorders my body could think the fluid it a foreign body and my own body could destroy my eyes and leave me blind. So unless my eyes get to the point that I’m blind, I will not consider it! Even then I’m afraid it could damage surrounding tissue, so basically I am chicken.
@@10beachbum22 I'd be nervous about it too, in your position! That sounds tough. 🧡
Ok this needs to be said.. standard pre-surgical evaluations do not include a workup for scleroderma. Not every adverse reaction is able to be predicted or dependent on your surgeon’s skill, don’t mess with your face with ELECTIVE SURGERY unless you’re willing to accept the risk, no matter how small, it may end up looking worse than before
THANK YOU! What doctor is going to test for rare antibodies in someone with no history???
My sister had a myomectomy. A few yrs later I needed one too. Same hospital, same surgeon, but very different results. The way I scarred! I was unable to wear a bikini for yrs. I finally embraced my "battles scars". Lesson for me was that I could NEVER do plastic surgery. My body/skin won't tolerate it
Completely irrelevant but I thought you’d find this funny- I recently discovered your twin, and I was out of my mind for a minute with this crazy conspiracy about you two (I will admit…. I was inebriated lmfao).
I thought Robert was actually you using your skills in video editing to make yourself look like someone ever so slightly different as like… a parody channel to all the people who edit their videos to look “perfect.”
Basically I thought you put a scar over your eyebrow with editing and changed your face a bit like you showed us in that one video to mess with people. I was looking everywhere for proof….
Then I found your duo-channel…. I was like, “Ohhhhh- there’s two of them…!” Bahahahahaha!! 🤦🏻♀️😅
Uhh, yes, waiter? I'll have what they're having! 😊 to be fair I was confused as well, at first, but the story you developed is top tier and way more amusing!
🤨 they're twins
All of us have a story about discovering the twins, welcome to the club !😂
😂😂😂😂
Say it with me: they are not the same person 😅
I suffered from cystic acne from about ten years until my early twenties. Yes it’s painful and people make rude comments. But I found the best thing you can do is try to find a cleanser/mask/exfoliation that works for you and wash your face in the shower so you get really clean and rinsed and wait for your body to grow out of it. This isn’t going to make painful acne go away, but using harsh medications and treatments and skincare only make it wayyy worse, at least in my experience. Acne is caused primarily by hormones. For me, I’ve used Burt’s Bees Deep Pore cleanser for over a decade (I know some people don’t like Burt’s or scrubs but it has worked for me.)
I'm curious what products messed up that models face. I know I cannot use certain things and if I do it will make my face do that. I learned in highschool after buying Proactive. It worked well for my bf so I begged and begged and finally my dad ordered it. (This was back when they only had three, maybe four products and you HAD to order the set ). My face got worse and a lot of people said that would happen before it got better. And then it just kept getting worse. I switched to Burt's Bees and I finally figured out what worked for MY skin and skin issues. Now I'm with Mario Badescue for life.
I love these when beauty turns ugly videos!! Keep them going!! They're really eye-opening!!
There are huge important nerves in your face and paralysis and chronic pain are risks to things like facelifts. Looks like they also took way too much fat out of her face and too much skin off her eyes....
Only at 5:35 but I've done extensive research on scleroderma and it isn't something you have your entire life from birth, it's an onset condition. So it's entirely possible she had no issues previously and then had something come later. Waiting to see if this is mentioned again...footnote: why does she have no irises in some pictures?
hi james! can you please do a review on the new elf invisible sunscreen? i tried it and it is literally invisible but has a texture i have never felt with a sunscreen before. i just wanted to know your thoughts on it ❤
I had bought a Ecooking night cream once and it broke me out horribly. I have acne for most of my life but it's not THAT severe and it's couple of pimples at a time. After that cream my whole lower jaw was covered in painful and inflaming pimples. It took me almost 6 month to repair all of the damage. So I completely understand how use of such products can cause this effect
I do not understand the obsession with pretending to be younger. Why are people trying to blend in with people in their teens/early 20s it seems very weird and suspicious to me.
I'm looking at the ingredients of some of the Makari facial moisturizer with an SPF and I wouldn't touch it. I have seriously sensitive skin and have to avoid things with parabens (they actually break me out and it took years to figure out) and anything with "benz" in it. And just this 1 moisturizer has 2 parbens in it and the SPF is a chemical Benzophenone-3, aka Oxybenzone (which also breaks me out). Top that off with it containing Citrus Limonum (lemon), Ascorbic Acid (Vitaminc C), AND Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate)...and I just can't see why anyone would use this. These ingredients aren't necessarily bad, just not in a daytime moisturizer even with a low SPF as they make your skin more photosensitive...and you shouldn't really use vitamin C AND Retinyl at the same time (one at night, one in the morning). So I mean, this one moisturizer is a nightmare for someone with sensitive skin.
“Print… how old am I?” 🤣
tbh as someone who has had really bad acne on my cheeks and later it got better, I know that having relapses would just make me really really anxious because of just that "but it was okay before" situation. I imagine suddenly having to go through that when you haven't even had prior experience with such situations must've been horrible so I definitely feel for her. plus let's not forget the physical pain/itchy-ness/discomfort. and ofc this is all without even accounting for her career/hyper-critical modeling environment.
✨Omg 😮that’s so sad 😞💔….
Thank you 🙏🏽 and much love to you all from Poland 🇵🇱
it may not be the formula of the products, that type of "break out" appears to be bacterial in nature. That company needed to immediately pull those batches in for testing, because the product could have been exposed to some "bug". No matter how hard we try to keep contaminants out of ISO labs, there's no accounting for that one worker that sneezes w/o their PPE, the one worker that wants to dip their finger in a batch to "try it". I know it sounds ridiculous, but believe me, that kind of irresponsibility happens.
Why are her eyes white in the first picture? all her pics are taken on the same day and her eyes are fine in the others, i'm confused lol
It looks like it was a photo taken for medical evidence reasons or something like that, so they might have just whited out her eyes sort of like how doctors place a bar over patient eyes
This is so sad, and part of the reason I’m scared to try a lot of products. I have very sensitive skin and a “gentle retinol” burned the shit out of my skin and took months to heal. It’s so depressing when this happens.
When I was in college, I bought a clensing gel from a very popular and liked brand from my country. I washed my face in the evening and the next morning, I woke up unable to open my left eye. When I looked in the morning, my face looked like someone beat the cr*p out of me. I was purple, swollen, I just looked awful. Luckily I covered everything with my make-up because I didn't want to show up at my university looking like this. It took me months to heal. Purple turned to yellow and brow and my skin had a texture of a sand paper.
It has been years and to this day I do not touch that brand.
Scleroderma can be positively diagnosed with bloodwork. Either she has it or she doesn’t. My first concern would have been that she was able to get a facelift, eyelid surgery and buccal fat removal all for $3k…..I understand it was Russia but I would expect it to be a lot more if it was by reputable surgeons. I doubt she could get buccal fat removal alone for $3k in the US.
youre actually really wrong. Scleroderma cannot be diagnosed with any one test, there are multiple factors to consider before diagnosis is done...
Im hearing more and more people get lumps from cool sculpting. I dont think its as rare as we believe
Scleroderma is a progressive autoimmune disease, so you can develop it at any point and it progresses unpredictably. Illnesses and surgeries often cause the autoimmune system to work harder and trigger your disease process to start or get worse. If she hadn't developed scleroderma when she had a nose job she could have healed well and in between then and this surgery her disease became active. It's very much possible. I'm a former medical professional who is now disabled with multiple sclerosis, another progressive autoimmune immune disease. Autoimmune disorders can affect pretty much any part of your body in any number of horrifying and unpredictable ways. It's why they're incredibly difficult to diagnose and treat.
Swiss skin care products are usually really great
But then again there could be 1
Ingredient can destroy your skin.
Rule #1
Stick With + use with What u know!
When Elizabeth Arden destroyed
My skin 4 many months
I got Very Depressed but
What could have been worse
Myself being a dark Skinned woman
I’m not a model but if I had a reaction like the model mentioned in the skin irritation story I would be DEVASTATED. I’m a nobody and my family would still love me-but even then, it would be so distressing.
If you’ve had good skin your whole life a huge change like that would be awful.
ECP here. I have seen sooo many blepharoplasty procedures go wrong. People left unable to close their eyes all the way causing debilitating dry eye at best. There is a new drop called Upneeq in the US. I urge anyone and everyone to speak with their eye doctor to see if they are a candidate prior to committing to surgery.
Doesn't upneeq cause the same dry eye issue?
Always loving your content James ❤
The Dr.s could have tested her for a positive ANA blood test. This could have told them if she has an Autoimmune Disorder. However, it’s a very expensive test and even to get it to treat for a more common disease, Lupus, is hard to get insurance to cover it. Plus, even having a positive ANA, doesn’t tell you what type of Autoimmune Disorder you have. It takes months with symptoms to figure that out. The Dr.s could not have known she had this.
This condition doesn't show up on those tests as do most autoimmune conditions. It works more for conditions like lupus or other degenerative autoimmune conditions
and being negative for ANA does not rule out an autoimmune disorder anyway
Even if they did do an ANA test, theres no saying her results were positive on the day of surgery. A lot of us with autoimmune diseases dont test positive every time
@ayajade6683 there is actually no one definitive test for lupus, it is diagnosed with a lot of factors in mind. Its not simple to diagnose at all, hence why so many of us wait years before getting our actual diagnosis.
@@abigailxmary ANA is primarily used for lupus due to how the condition works you may have the condition but my background is in genetics so I know exactly what the tests are a for and what their primary functions are hence using LIKE lupus in my original comments
I had a product once that burned my neck - I'm talking took the complete top layer off my neck, left a wound, then a giant scab, and then a scar. I was left wearing scarves for months - even in warm weather. I think part of this was my fault - it was supposed to be on the face only and for removing hyperpigmentation/dark spots. And it did that wonderfully for my face. I think I already had a thin cut on my neck (I had to shave a few hairs there every now and then) and the product mixed with that. The only reason I can explain why my face was ok but not my neck.
So many people are against natural aging. Embrace it! Literally every single person on the planet is getting older
I'm sticking to Noxema and rosewater with glycerin. I've been using Noxema (for cleansing and moisturizing) since I was 13 yrs old, and rosewater and glycerin for the past 20 years. The picture you see is only a few months ago, I'm going to be 60 this June.
Not being able to blink can ruin her eyes and eyesight. This is more than a change of appearance, it’s a health risk.
I had one session of Cool Sculpting. But after the machine caused that mass, they massaged the area to spread it back out. They didn’t let me leave looking like that. I have no complaints about my session.
Perfection does exist...when you look in the mirror! Ammariiiiight!!
Ps. Im horribly allergic to benzyl peroxide. Broke me out in awful hives, itchy burning, and very very hot. Ironically used it for getting rid of acne and it turned my whole face into a giant, red pimple.
