Most people know that skin care is a crucial part of healthcare, but they lack the money skincare requires to take care of their skin
For a Skincare routine you do not have to buy 300+ products.
You only need : saop, a serum if you want, moisturizer creme, sunscreen.
And eat well and healthy.
And that’s it!!
These are the important ones.
The rest aren’t important at all!
They buy cars…. if you don’t got money for health don’t buy cars
It's all nonsense. Healthy diet, sleep and exercise is generally all anyone needs. (Besides being sun smart and using sunscreen).
Your skin is designed to take care of itself. In rare cases you may need to see a dermatologist.
Annual skin cancer screenings are recommended.
I pay around 20€ for skincare a month.
@@roofy.1518no not soap it’s terrible for skin regardless of “moisturizing” you need products based on your skin issues and concerns and they get more expensive the more issues you need to target and some products just don’t work and you end up buying more stuff to help your skin but u rlly should see a dermatologist first to see what they can give you which ofc u still pay for the service and products u are prescribed ..
What an insightful & empathetic talk Keenan. Skin care needs more normalization, and I’m proud of you for standing up for it. Skincare is healthcare!
Skin care is more than what’s on the surface the effects can be emotionally brutal to a young teenager. I struggled not to commit suicide over a chronic chronic skin condition. At 66 it’s still a struggle most people can’t comprehend.
For a Skincare routine you do not have to buy 300+ products.
You only need : a saop or cleanser, moisturizer creme, sunscreen, good serum (optional).
+ eat well and healthy.
And that’s it!!
These are the important ones to use to take care of your skin.
The rest aren’t important at all!

Sunscreen is more important than anything you listed except a cleanser.
@@pinkpanda5696 I know but it’s expensive and people keep saying they can’t afford it
It's not that expensive overall. They don't need to buy Shiseido or some other high-end brand. On an average day, they just need to do their face and only exposed parts, not their whole body. At the least, I suggest their face. The sun ages you more than anything else as far as natural aging goes. Anything is better than nothing.
My grandma has been using olay lotion on her skin since her early 20's and she is now 95 years old and has beautiful skin ❤️
I really agree with the sentiment of this video! Skincare is so much more than just a way to look good. It's also an important part of our overall health and well-being. Our skin is our body's largest organ, and it protects us from the elements, helps to regulate our body temperature, and even helps to fight off infection.
I think it's important to find a skincare routine that works for you and your budget. You don't have to spend a fortune on expensive products to have healthy skin. There are plenty of affordable drugstore options that can work just as well.
The most important thing is to be consistent with your skincare routine. Even if you can only do a few basic steps each day, it will make a difference in the long run.
Thanks for making this video! It's a great reminder that skincare is more than just about vanity. It's about taking care of our health and well-being.
Very informative and well thought out talk! As a skin cancer patient not once but twice now, I wish I had had the knowledge at a young age to wear sunscreen and really take care of my skin. There def needs to be more education and awareness!! Well done Keenan.
I love the fact that people of ALL genders are advocating for skincare. I think it should be treated like any other organ-with CARE and RESPECT. We all have preferences.. and for me, I prefer a more "natural face&body with high maintenance skincare.. " it deserves all the hype. It’s a LIFE CHANGER and will reverse your age SIGNIFICANTLY (an understatement).
Both* genders
@@DogratDavisI see what you did there 😏 just trying to be inclusive yk
Skin is our biggest organ of both ( 2 ) genders.
@@suhazareer200 Meh, why be inclusive when you can just be a bigot like these morons, eh? smh
@@suhazareer200 others couldn't see this one coming 💀
Thank you so much for speaking up about this, Keenan! Hopefully, you continue to do so, since there is a serious lack of information on skincare! Props to you!
Listening to him makes me feel - Humanity is still alive! Where people still care & bother for others
Thank you so much I received a lot of knowledge on why I should buy sunscreen now.
Keenan! What a wonderful presentation. Thanks for your dedication and educating all of us in this important topic.
Thanks for speech. It was great to listen
timing = 4:52.
All of your family members look happy and full of smile.
Thank you for your talk and I'm very happy to find your perfect smile of the finest with confidence at the end of this talk.
I hope your talk would cause big sensations all over the world.
Our grandmother had been using sponge gourd lotion. when it comes close to end of growth, cut the vine, put the both end into bottle (1.8 lit ). it exude/drop lotion from both end.
Wow. This has been a very informative and helpful talk. Thank you so much.
Nice job Keenan! Love how you emotionalized your data and repeated your main point multiple times! Great examples too! Well done!
SUCH A REMARKABLE MESSAGE, THANKS A LOT KEENAN
Whole Video is about importance of SUNSCREEN 😇it's great 👍
Was great and emphasized sunscreen but I wasn’t clear on how to keep skin clean and moisturized.
Do the products in stores actually work? Are the chemicals inside them good or bad?
What about our eyes!!?Sun can damage our eyes😭so we need sunglasses too!!
Amazing job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
5:53 yess as a lifeguard I can attest to this!
I suspect nutrition or lack of plays a keen role in prevention of any type cancer.
Why that may be true for A LOT of cancers, you forgot that our environment can also cause quite a few, regardless of how well you eat. This is from someone who has done their research and eats a whole-food plant-based diet.
Right any time the body is expressing cancer there is a pie of factors that contribute. Covering with sunscreen is something I know better than to do.
Another layer of clothing works for me.
Sunscreen like geoengineering is not a simple innocent.
What people fail to realize is that acne is caused by hormonal changes and imbalances. That’s why only teenagers, adults with thyroid problems, and women with fibroids and PCOS get it. Fix the root of the cause and problem solved. Increase your fiber intake and if you’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism, take the meds your doctor prescribes you. Uterine fibroids that occur in women also produce their own estrogen, which in turn gives excess estrogen that causes PCOS. I have both of these problems and since I’ve been increasing my fiber intake (fiber cleanses your body of excess sugar, excess hormones, and bad cholesterol) and taking thyroid meds, my skin has improved. Due to the fibroid issue I’m due for a hysterectomy and that should clear up the rest of the problems.
How much does your sun protection cream can safeguard you from UV?
1%? Or 0.5%?
He centered his talk around skin cancer, it's understandable in america, but what about skin care in countries like India. Are the precautikns same or different, could someone share resources about skin care measures for a person in India?
Yes!
Awesome
Is skincare only applying sunscreen?
Keenan! My guy!!!! 😎 🧴 ☀️ 🌞 ⛅️
Love it ❤🎉
I would add that sunscreen is supposed to be reapplied every 2 hours especially if you're swimming or sweating . It's also not full proof and shouldn't preclude other protective measures like wearing hats and sunglasses and avoiding the sun in the height of the day whenever possible . Unfortunately I'm not that motivated about cancer protection but visible signs of aging and I'm right there LOL .
Damn . I love skincare. I admire it. N I just clicked it
wow👏👏👏👏👏
Ok, where is my sunscreen?!?
In the stor waiting for you to buy it or hide it in your pockets😂🤣🤣
Now that more people are probably going to wear sunscreen, we need a video that explains what chemicals in many sunscreens are likely to cause or be a factor in getting cancer.
He is talking about benefits of SUNSCREEN.
Many factors at play, too many to list, yet the focus was on Sunscreen. 😅
you didn't say how you cured your acne ....can just wearing only sunscreen help us get healthy skin???
Geezus... and the BEST protection from the sun is NOT sunscreen... It's clothing, clothing which everyone can afford.
Better use a face mask all day long then lol and did u know sun can even damage your eyes😭
am i the only one who thinks keenan will just start crying😂😂
Funny, people should have a look at countries like Korea and Japan, where women as well as men , without shame, have been using skincare for decades. It's not only about sun-cream, which, can be damaging if used in excess. People cover themselves, use sun-umbrellas or long gloves that are breathable and cooling to cover their arms. Have a healthy and most importantly, balanced diet. Drink green tea which helps with detoxification and generally consume a lot of liquids. Hiking, sports, being out in the nature is also very common. Kids, teens, families spending more time outside is small piece of a big puzzle that essentially creates a healthy person.
The west has been making fun of Asians, yet now start to realise why things are done a certain way and later give speeches as if they've just discovered the secret. Davis is doing well for trying to dismantle the idea that skincare is for everyone, but he should definitely do more research.
Summary: sunscreen is as important as clothes 😊
I wish the culture of Australia had caught up to naturally fair skin being considered healthy and attractive.
The simple advice is usually the best: stay hydrated, stay out of the sun, and plain old soap and water (I don’t trust all the chemicals in those products anyway). Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned, but hey.

❤❤❤❤pls translate in Telugu every episode❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
It’s so privileged and unaware to say skincare isn’t just for the rich, sure, it’s not, but if people struggle putting food in the fridge they’re not buying salicylic acid moisturizers to protect their skins natural barrier when there’s stomach is rumbling struggling !
Beauty is pain there’s times we’re I skipped wanting to eat something so I could save up for something I been wanting for so long .. you won’t die of starving for a day either way and as time passes your body gets used to not eating so much and that’s what you call fasting!! Feels good on the stomach after a while to relax and not have to digest food three times a day every day😅
Sunscreen was discussed here did you even watch the video?
@@Dae_care 😂
Sun screen make Xander- use a food as mayonez
I mean....more or less..just like all around health is also a luxary at this point. Covering all bases of your bodies health without totally breaking the bank and being broke for another two months after is how it is these days. Health is a luxary, it shouldn't be, but sadly it is. Now will if pay a grand or more to get to where I need to be to be healthy? Yes, because health is a necessity to do the things you need to do in this life both wants and needs. Health is a luxary for people who have money, but it also becomes a luxary when you realize how much you haven't been taking care of it. Love your body you guys in any way possible health wise.
I’m poor, but I don’t center my life around a materialistic lifestyle that the majority of Americans live by. Because of that I’m able to buy healthy food, and it doesn’t even to have the “organic” label either.
☺️☺️☺️
Its so expensive so makes people pooer
Makes people Age and dry up faster if not using sunscreen😕😕
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Do not Listen to these negative Nancy's with bad skin who look 80 at 30..lol
woohoo
Been suffering with chronic acne problems due be lactose for 10 years ... I have rashes on face eith massive acne craters
I agree with him
Natural Vitamin D leaves the chat😂
This talk is only for americans😂
Honestly I’ve never seen anyone who bought into the skincare gig that had skin that was any better than mine and my program is called showering with soap.
Yap yap, SUNCREAM IS IMPORTANT
Come to Africa, you will see poverty. If you can't buy a bread then skin care is last on the list.
The problem is bad food.
That’s all
Come on, there's no sun in UK
Falling for the sunblock scam that causes much worse things. smh
Wow, some twen discovered the most basic heathcare.
People have gotten so uneducated we should send some preteens from western europe to teach others.
Cool story. But not for T.E.D this is why ted talks have fallen so far from people's care.
😂
No, they have not "fallen so far from people's care." Why do so many people whine about topics that don't interest them? Scroll, troll!
It's sad really. Ted used to host the world's greatest theologians, tech and med tech geniuses, Futurists & heros of all sorts. Now Ted has been watered-down. Stand in line take a pop quiz leave an essay, and whaalaa you are leading a Ted talk.
Gives people the chance to show what they can do and impact communities, I myself that am not a “professor” or “theologian” would love to be hosted and not be turned down cause of a guy like you being uninterested in my subjects or matters 😒that’s why a lot of people don’t get opportunities in many things ..cos of people like yourself and your opinions.
@Iamyou36912 you have every right to have your words heard. Ted is just likely not the podium for you....we'll it may be now..Ted was 4 people who are out there trying to change the world or have made huge impacts On society or their own community at large. If that's not you. you have my condolences.
he repeated every "point" multiple times, formulated it differently and put it in a different order..poor talk
Pro tip: If you want your skin better stop fapping so much lmao, that will mess with your hormones, and if you’re chill about it your skin will chill too.
Ignorance of today. Instead of promoting sunscreen, better look into a rooting cause of cancer which is a compromised immune system. Preventative health care is not about covering your body with sunscreen. We need sunlight. It's Vit D3 vs taking supplements. It's important to hydrate, detox, eat the right foods, and be outside before 10 am or after 4 pm if possible. How much did the sunscreen company pay you? Paid off tuition?
You can get your D3 requirements from 10-30mins of sun(depending on your skin tone). Anything after that is excess. While your diet can help prevent getting a LOT of cancers, you forgot that our environment is also a huge factor (including excess sun). This comes from someone who has researched and is on a whole-food plant-based diet.
@@ddpwe5269 Your comment opens up a whole can of worms about the environment we live in. As much as I agree with it, it's a different topic here. Since the topic is about health care, the preventative steps are to detox your body to support your immune system, and yes, to have a better environment is extremely important.
Rip Olga Demi 🪦 died from skin cancer and didn’t listen…too stubborn..
I don't think he was paid off by the sunscreen industry. He was speaking from his own experience.
What you have suggested is good. However, I take differing view on sunscreen. There are those who do need it.
Cancer can come from many places. And with how many folks get sunburnt on a daily basis, I think Keenan’s message is important. Weird attitude from your comment, did sunscreen companies hurt you?
Why you crying 😭😂? You need a tissue
...and here I thought I'd learn how he got rid of his acne 🤦🏻♀️ Another brick in the wall, the product of three or so years of studying the agenda of modern medicine focused primarily on financial gain. I hope he wises up when he gets older.
