skin care is honestly so frustrating
Bria Barrows wooord
likeeee. one minute someone says something is good. the next minute another person is like ‘woahhhhhh. Don’t do this you’ll literally die’. I’m always confused. Like what is the best option THEN?? 😓
@@tatianat604 just do what works for u
@@tatianat604 FACTS and they literally dont give a direct answer... ugh ugh
@@tatianat604 Everybody skin different, just do you, if it works don't change it😊
I really don't get the thought process of people telling a licensed esthetician that she's wrong when it comes to her field of study.
Rodrigo the fact that they use some of these tactics and see beneficial results. No differently than you have to take a Doctors advice and do what’s best for you as with cancer patients. Doctors don’t recommend holistic treatments yet some people are alive and well after choosing this as their treatment path. If you can refute a physician then you can refute an esthetician. Oh and the fact that nobody’s face has fallen off. There’s that.
One reason is because she contradicted herself. One breath she stated "these items will make your face fall off" and the next breath she stated "it may work for some but not all" You cant have both. And lets be clear I may read something and my understanding of it may be totally different than yours, who's Right? Just because someone is licensed doesn't mean they truly understand/comprehend what they are doing. For her to contradict herself Im personally giving a side eye
@@candicegilbert8268 agreed... Then to contradict and explain there's a proper way to use them... As with the tea tree oil. Is it terrible or is there a proper usage?
@@cherryh7963 Exactly her approach and delivery was all wrong. She stated some useful suggestions, but as a whole Im not taking everything she said and running with it.
@@cherryh7963 d...do you really believe that your vegan crap will save a cancer patient? Oh my god. You're probably an anti-vaxxer too. The US is doomed. Cancer is a defect in your cell reproduction no amount of cocoa butter or fruit juice will stop that or else nobody had cancer. The people that survive this crap are simply in denial. Holistic treatments are a scam and they cost lives literal human lives and I've witnessed it.
POV: You’re looking for the comments that disagree with her
ACV saved my hair and scalp. That shit works so good. Idgaf what she says lol. I don't use it on my face but I know for a fact it's safe. Lemon juice isn't good though. Idk why but raw ACV is actually good
How did acv help you? Was it for dandruff?
maggy tito yeah I’ve used on my skin ( with baking soda) and hair and it does good, many people believe that if something has high acidity means it’s dangerous to the skin but that’s just a bit off, people have to know what your doing
I wasn't lol! I was however looking to see other people thriving so I can wish I was them because my face looks like shit xD
Yes
Thank you so much, girl. You're literally changing my entire skin care regime. Been watching your videos for the past few days and I've already started implementing a lot of your tips. Shout of to the 60SecondRule!
This is the maddest comment section I’ve ever seen in my life. Why are y’all so mad?! Her age shouldn’t take away from ability to master skin care. She’s actually a licensed esthetician. That means she knows her shit! If you have not had these damaging side effects then good for you. That doesn’t change what the research and science has found. Just use what you can and be done with it.
I don't think you can use this argument. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you or anyone else but this whole "she's a licensed esthetician, she knows her shit" argument holds little water. So she took a 6 month class at a tech school... doesn't make her a chemist!
Some people came here mad because she didn't say what they want to hear. They attack her age because there's NOTHING to attack, so they pretty much create a problem where there isn't one.
@Serenity. Some people that are commenting sound a little jelly to me. ijs 😏 Wow !!! 😮🙃
Exactly. They really love to say their anecdotal evidence is better than science.
She is wrong. These things work. She is pushing her products to get it to sell. Thear is nothing like natural things, u can mix and put on your face like coffee and honey. And baking soda and milk for your hands. Make a paste and put it all over your hands keep on 20 min. Wash with water your hands will feel like velvet. Then use coconut oil or olive oil.try it and it's natural. If you aregoing to help people tell them what works. Not buy expensive products thats going to get u poor. We are poor enofe already. Thank u.
Why are people acting like she's anti-natural ingredients in the comments? She literally named a bunch of other alternatives that would work (probably better) then the things she said not to use. Im saying this as someone who used to love coconut oil and physical sugar scrubs. I use less harsh exfoliators and better oils and my skin is in the best shape it's ever been. People are so dense 😑
Thank you!!!
You are the only esthetician I've seen so far actually talk about SUGAR and the very damaging glycation process! I've only seen Dr. Anthony talk about this too. And it's so important in my opinion. I know for a fact I have aged my face so much because of sugar, I can feel it as a sugar addict the dryness in my face and around my eyes, when I wake up from a sugar binge. My face just looks so poor. But no one talks about this, this is a real process that happens, and eating it is the worst!
Yep. Lord help me cut my sugar addiction. It makes you gain weight and turn your truth as well
@@mssha1980 I honestly wish and hope to cut way back
@@mssha1980 false
This is so me😭. My skin feels soft, but it's dry, flaking in certain areas and black spots come and go. I keep telling myself I should reduce all the brownies, sweets and fizzy drinks, but the cravings kick in 😩, and I indulge. Im not a big skin care person, but I want my skin to be healthy internally and externally, I just don't want to become obsessed with clear skin.
several years ago, i cut sugar and also white/refined/processed carbs out of my diet (or at the very least WAY way down) due to diabetes running in my family. i have experienced so many unexpected other health benefits (eg. less joint pain and less mood swings, just off the top of my head) it's amazing. but i also started getting compliments on my skin, which i'd never gotten before, and i hadn't done a thing to change my skincare regimen in that whole time. so yes, cutting out sugar and processed carbs from your diet makes a HUGE difference!
After watching this I literally am going to go on my Pinterest “skincare” board and delete everything on there 😔✌🏻😂
lol

Licensed cosmetologist over here. Coconut oil does not penetrate the hair shaft. The molecules are too large. Coconut oil should not be used directly on the hair. It has better use on the scalp.
The LyfeStylist thank you!
What is it’s benefits on the scalp? If it clogs pores on the face, won’t it do the same on the scalp?
The Golden Rx it’s good for dry scalp and/or itchy scalp, or can be used for scalp treatments in the pre-shampoo state. A lot of people miss the step of taking care of their scalp when it comes to their hair care.
The LyfeStylist i was watching like nooooo tell them to stop putting it on their hair too! Lol i find it’s ok balanced in a product mixed by a chemist as a lot of natural hair products do have coconut oil in them but raw or mixed at home is a no no and coconut oil shares some of the same properties as protein which over time can cause dryness to the hair yes there is such a thing as too much protein for the hair the hair requires a good balance between moisture and protein
Niani B. Exactly! And a lot of these lines can’t get even get it right because they watched 50 million youtube videos and decided to create a “natural” product line. Like I really wish people would stop putting oils and butters on their hair.
Thumbs up if you have done at least half of these before???
I have done all not even half hhahaha
I've done all
I am in my 40s... and I have beautiful flawless skin.... I people ask me all the time a out my skin... and I don't wear any make up at all...I don't know about that helmets glue though... but all the other treatment I do use from time to time... I know at least 100 Caribbean .Jamaican and Indian people with beautiful skin and they are older and have very nice skin... I do use most of the other alternatives she mentioned... but I have always had bad results with products that were not natural... they just make my skin itch and also make up like foundations and powders... I think every body skin is different due to different blood types..
Good video .. thanks for uploading
Am totally done with this skincare nonsense 🤦🏽
One moment you think you got it, next thing someone comes and says you got it all wrong.
I'll just use whatever soap I find in the counter and chill, am so done mehn😣
Bro ikr✋😭
I feel like whatever works for you but to always listen at your skin and body. A lot of these diys were around long before. The warnings are valid though so I'll just be cautious about it but acv really has been a life saver for me
Amen
Is really hurting
I feel you i’ma just let my skin do it’s thing😕🚶🏽♀️
I spent over 2000$ last year on dermatologist consultation, their recommendations and treatments and my skin was at it’s worst. This year I decided to use natural products instead and my skin looks and feels healthier
I spent way too much on 2 different aestheticians n my skin was the worst it’s ever been! Constant break outs and the aggressive extractions left me scarred baaaad😫
I had the same reaction to chemically based recommended products from a dermatologist. Once I started using some natural products, my skin feels and looks a lot better. I am one of the one's who used raw coconut oil and actually saw and felt a difference in my skin versus using over the counter products. I am not saying she's right or wrong, but everyone's skin is different. I also heard other estheticians highly suggest avoid using benzo peroxide ingredients to treat acne.
I truly recommend naturally made products like a simple activated charcoal soap.
I agree. They want you to buy all these stuff that cost a lot and have so much chemicals that makes your skin worse. I agree that all these things in excessive are bad. Yet, I believe shes just trained to sell products. They just know what market products are amazing or not good for the skin. I dont believe they know about food and organic stuff you make at home.
I totally agree with you. My skin is line free soft and supple only using my natural products.
These comments are so weird. She's literally is giving you guys Natural Alternatives that are BETTER for your skin lmao are you guys even watching the video
Ihinosen Akhagba LoL no they just reading comments
@Liz bth So true
People assume anything that’s natural, must good for your skin!?! Poison ivy is natural.. would you put that on your face?! Loved this video!!
Lmfao. If enough people lied about it working, I think they would.
@Angel sweet Exactly and everybody is different. Makeup has toxic harmful ingredients and majority pale face individuals HAVE to wear it daily. Sorry, not sorry. It's the truth... I love my brown skin with no blemishes.
Makeup Authority If Poison Ivy was in makeup you'd still wear it, you wouldn't walk out the house in your natural skin. It might as well be in it ...the ingredients in makeup aren't natural or healthy AT ALL but YOU STILL WEAR IT.
@@DivineSoul999 FACTS! Pretentious sons of bxtches. Including the child in the video. She's always wearing makeup (distasteful choices too) despite claiming to specialize in skin care and I can see her imperfections beneath her face paint so why the hell would I listen to her? 🤣
Raggedy weave as well.
Does poison ivy brighten skin ? Then yes . If it kills welp I didn't know I was imortal
Bottom line is everyone’s skin is different and reacts differently to products . These things might work for some and not others
I agree with you 100%
Besides, we are what we eat so...
But some things (what she mentions in the video) will damage you slowly and surely, even if you don't see it and you think it works. PH levels are critical points and even if they slightly differ from a person to another, if something is damaging, it's still going to harm regardless of that slight variation.
Sihle Soldati exactly
Exactly i use most of dis product and it works
right . baking soda in natural deodorant burns my armpits , but doesn't give some others any problems at all ... our grandmother's have been putting things on their face for 80 years that this girl or whomever may consider dangerous , but they look fantastic
this video was such an eye opener for me because half of the stuff that were listed in this video I have used them. I really love and appreciate how not only you listed out what we shouldn't put in our face, but also the alternatives. Plus you were stating facts onto why these are harmful! love this video.
Right I don't know why people are irritated by her
What I learned today from this comment section is that most people will always be thick-head, shutdown and take professional advice as an attack on their way of life. These were all mere suggestions, she's not telling you to do anything. She did say it works for some, but its not likely for most people because facts are facts. If you're someone who has been doing these things since the dawn of time, your skin has most likely built a tolerance to your regime, that's not the same for others. I used to do almost all of these things and they trashed my skin. This is basically a "Proceed at Your Own Risk" PSA.
ALSO, I'm seeing a lot of people say things like natural is better than chemicals, but a lot of you forget that EVERYTHING DERIVES FROM CHEMICALS. Coconut is a chemical compound, water is a chemical compound, we are all made up of chemicals. There is such thing as natural chemicals versus man made chemicals. However, the ones she spoke of (AHAs, BHAs, GLYCOLIC ACID, VIATMIN C) they are all natural derivatives, so they are safe and actually made for skin use, our body's produce some of these chemicals naturally.
But you know people are going to continue to do what they want to do, and believe what they want to believe, regardless if they are facts or not. *shoulder shrug*
Yes, thank goodness someone is here thinking the same thing as me. Like stop getting so uptight and just listen to the girl. Yes some things work better for others and you might have had good results with something she said is bad but it's something to consider. She's just offering advice. Half of the people in the comments took offense to everything and asked for natural alternatives yet ignored the natural options she listed. Lol
Im sorry but she did say STOP using these items or better yet Dont put this shit on your face (title)..hence the annoyance from people who this stuff has been working for for years.
Yeah people Don't understand science at all.
sensitivebabe coconut oil made my skin burn and my acne got worse. I use honey now it’s much better
Actually... yes she did say several times throughout her video to NOT use this and NOT use that on your face and even mocked the natural skin care community using false illustrations of the truth soooooo yeah.... 😞😒
Omg you’re so knowledgeable and honest and I’m so here for it! Especially how you clarified how important the skin barrier is, and how there is actually so much practice and studying that goes into being qualified to provide skin care info. So articulate and concise, sooooo appreciated
I like how you offer alternatives to the dangerous DIY products people have been using. 👍🏽
Well we all have different skin types. Most of these natural remedies works for me & I'm happy & thankful for those who uploaded it .
baking soda work wonders for my skin ...I have baby soft skin at 60 no wrinkles lines
Coconut oil definitely clogged my pores. I broke out like crazy.
Try the unrefined, expeller pressed, organic type. It does not have a 4/5 comedogenic rating (the possibility of causing acne). Additionally, most people don't REALize vegetable oil in your diet, IS WORSE than coconut oil, as it causes a lot of problems, such as sterility, cancer, etc., BUT for your skin...ACNE. I have come to the conclusion, with 6 years if research under my belt, for my hair/skin care line, vegetable oil, the most popular oil, which is widely used in not only personal food BUT also millions of restaurants, IS THE MAJOR CAUSE of most acne problems....IN THE WORLD!
Same
@@MissFaevyn Nothing works for everyone. I can't handle ANY oils on my face but I use coconut oil on my hair and body. (It also makes great lube because it's anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-fungal)
😂🤣😂i was in such denial until i saw this video!!! It totay did!! my poor face
Coconut oil cleansing works amazing for me

The same people who put it on their hands in elementary school
ryan tabb Nah. All of us aren’t that stupid.
Most anyone that uses ACV dilutes it. Meaning they reduce its acidity to a level that doesn't hurt the skin. This was her literal point at 8:32. Distilled water with it works great. I don't think she understands a lot of people don't use it raw.
Am so relieved by ur comment. I thought vinegar would hurt my skin even if it’s diluted. Thank you.
Yeah, that's what I've seen too. I wish she would have touched on diluting the acv. Just like she did with the tea tree.
thank you for actually providing reasonings behind what you suggest as well as alternatives for potentially harmful products, its been tough to find a video like this.
omg when the coconut oil rage was happening I tried it on my face and broke out so bad!! I was like I do not understand the hype and never tried it again lol
I found that, although it felt so wonderful and emollient at first, it eventually seemed to dry out my already dry skin. Is this common? Either way, I won't be using it on my skin like that again.
for me it's amazing. it's been one of the best ways to cleanse my face i've ever found; I know it sounds counter-intuitive to put oil in your face to clean it, but oil dissolves oil and allows you to remove all the dirt and sebum from your pores. the problem is when you don't remove the oil well enough afterwards and it clogs your pores, but this actually doesn't happen for everyone either. so yeah it's a huge hit or miss deal, either it helps you a lot or f**ks you up
I never use any kind of oil on my face, but using it on my legs and arms makes them sooo smooth and nice!!
same i cant stand that evil stuff.
Jillian Zwada Same, I literally stopped counting at 29 pimples, that's exactly what it did, caused pimples. I was told by UA-cam University pupils my skin was purging, allow it to happen. Shiiiiit, I stopped using it.
Watching this with a lemon mask on. feeling personally attacked
Subscribe to my channel while y’all laughing at my trash skincare routine 😂
Myesha Skye lol
Myesha Skye 😂😂😂
lemon isn't bad for your skin. the difference in ph isn't gonna do much. the permeability of hydroxyl acid on the skin cells is not high enough to do any real damage. I'm so surprised she didn't mention alcohol as something bad for the skin, because that is the real thing people should be worried about. Alcohol will literally break down the collagen and structural lipids of the cell membranes in your skin- so stear clear of any wash, toner or moisturiser that has ethanol in it. Ethanol is a short-chain alcohol. The only alcohol that is good for your skin are long-chain alcohols. You can google short-chain and long-chain alcohol to see what products are good and bad for the structure of skin cells.
As for the photosensitivity after lemon/lime- its true. But just wear a spf50 that day and you'll be fine. No big deal.
I'm not a cosmetologist or a dermatologist, but I do have some basic cell biology under my belt and that's enough for me to know lemon ain't gonna ruin your skin.
Haahahahahaha
I think you'll be alright. If you get a reaction then you'll know better for next time right? Same as with any product an aesthetician/ cosmetologist or even a licensed medical professional provides.
I loved how you gave other natural alternatives at the end.
thank you for spreading knowledge, i get so annoyed whenever i see people recommending diy masks with stuff that can seriously irritate or damage skin or preaching about NaTuRaL ingredients and about how bad Chemicals are... or claiming that people don’t need to go to skin professionals when they’re having issues because simple pinterest recipes and drinking water will cure them lol. dermatologists and estheticians are so important and so under appreciated because people think they can do their jobs after watching a skincare routine tips from a fashion youtuber who’s scared of anything that doesn’t come out of their fridge sjsjsjsjs
I don’t understand why people are arguing with a licensed esthetician over skincare.... like she said just because something does work for you doesn’t mean it will for everyone. Also there is a lot of data out there to back up her claims such as baking soda being disastrous to the ph levels and skin barrier, lemon creating heightened photo sensitivity and irritation etc. also just because something doesn’t sting , burn or show an immediate reaction doesn’t mean it’s not doing damage.
Zach tbh I’d rather take advice from a dermatologist. An esthetician probably had more knowledge than we do but I doubt they have the years of studying skin chemistry and what really goes on. My mom worked with “estheticians” who just did cool sculpting and facials.
This is absolutely so inaccurate. Plenty of other dermatologists and you tubers who are licensed for skincare such as Susan Yara have stated that the Indian healing clay mask is very beneficial for the skin with acv mixed in. Please don’t listen to someone who spells apple cider vinegar as avc(go to 8.56 mins)
She an esthetician ... not a dermatologist . So your argument is useless .
@@jamesbunting4622 bentonite clay (which is the main ingredient of the mask you're talking about) is perfect for apple cider vinegar. match made in heaven... specifically because the two go through a chemical reaction that balances the ph. Apple cider vinegar *BY ITSELF* is indeed too acidic for your skin!
@@nylala734 that's why I dilute it and always you something basic before hand. It is working great for it really just depends on how sensitive your skin is. That's why you have to dilute it.
I can use coconut oil on my skin everyday without breaking out. When I use it I notice my complexion is better. That is just MY skin and I can only speak for me like you said it can break out most but not all.
Same
Same been using African black soap and coconut oil afterwards for moisturizer for a year+ and I won’t be changing my routine for anything. It works for me to help me with clear skin.
ThatChick Disha exactly a lot of these shoes complaining about not knowing what she's speaking on everyone's skin and hair is different I've used the glue and charcoal mask every week for years and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I also use aloe vera as a masc and no issues it's also been scientifically proven to heal scars and has numerous nutrients in it so how she saying it's just a humectant is hilarious. To each their own though I guess.
I feel like Coconut oil is a 50/50 chance. For some people it really works and for others it’s the opposite
ThatChick Disha i better like it on my body, it best suits me there. For face i use clay, sandalwood and rose water and nothing else.
Me after washing my face with coconut oil
**chuckles** *_im in danger_*
I use it to take eye makeup off but I wash my face throughly after. 🤷♀️
you in danger, girl
Wearing makeup is worse than using coconut oil. Makeup companies are making soooo much money causing skincare issues for everybody #1 ACNE!
You probably look like you're a hundred and only 30
@@liveyourbestsoftlife5705 Only white people.... Black people age gracefully. 😍
I never comment on videos, but I love watching yours! So informative. I have been using witch hazel as a toner (no alcohol) because I have oily skin but once I finish, I think I will look at other options. Thank you!! ❤️
I was hesitant about watching this because I’m guilty of a lot of these things lol! I appreciate how informative and thorough you were and the fact that you mentioned alternatives for the things mentioned! ❤️❤️
Love how she says “don’t listen to random people about diy skin care” and here she is a random person who popped up in my feed telling me what to not to do and what to do. Personally I use coconut oil on my face to remove makeup. I use it on my scalp per my hairdresser’s directions. I’ve made countless face masks and body scrubs.
Lizabeth McCool I think she means well and I agree with you. What’s interesting is she like most estheticians aren’t properly trained as a chemistry student. I’ve noticed esthetician only explain basic analytical progress but never fully explain or break down all the science related difference. Lol it’s annoying. What she neglects to realize is with facial oils like coconut oil will only ever stay on top layer of your skin and never reach down and penetrate the lower levels of your skin (no real skin care can do that anyways) coconut oil isn’t the best but it isn’t terrible for you. She doesn’t understand the actual science about it. It’s fine to use if your skin doesn’t get irritated by it. She also mentioned how alcohol in skincare is something to avoid like in toners. She’s completely wrong because there is good alcohol and bad alcohol (3 difference types) and she doesn’t even mention this at all. Etc. i do agree baking soda is terrible because it is, actual lemons are too and apple cider vinegar is just as bad.
Lizabeth McCool lol I was thinking the same thing.
Well, she has went to school for skin care, and that is her business so that makes her less random.
Trina Henderson it is totally random when you don’t even watch skin c are crap on UA-cam and this shit pops up. Random.
I love coconut oil too, but it would break my skin out due to the oil. I use it on my hair and body products. I looooove it.
Coconut oil has never broken me out. It soothes my eczema on my face really good.
Well keep using it
I can't even put it in my hair
Its really indicidual. It is able to clog your pores. But it is really cool when ir works for you, bc its super moisturizing and calming😌❤
Me too ☺️
Same i used to break out like crazyyy and coconut oil is the only thing that I’ve used as a moisturizer for years and keeps my skin so moisturized and acne free. I think people don’t get the unrefined organic 100% natural coconut oil and that’s what causes issues!
Coconut oil makes my skin looks good. I see me even looking younger. It really depends on the skin type.
She is 100% right and so many people are dense and in denial. I used to apply apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, lemon and scrub with sugars and my skin was inflamed and I got hyper pigmentations or dry flaky skin or pimples. She is recommending other natural ingredients that are neutral on the pH scale. Aswell as recommending serums and replacements that are extracted from natural products. And for the people who hates on “chemicals in skincare” “our ancestors used natural”. Yeah well our ancestors didn’t suffer from polluted air back then or wear heavy makeup and didn’t need to use anything to begin with. Moreover our skin is exposed to alot of chemicals on the daily, such as chemicals and pollutions in the atmosphere and in our makeup. And for the skin to be cleansed off of these bad chemicals that we are exposed to on the daily, we have to actually use some chemical skincare and not natural because they will not remove all of these chemicals and dirt off of your faces. And thats the tea. Educate yourselves before attacking someone who is educated on the matter and stop being ignorant just to have a point.
I agree with you......
Either way, most stuff in skincare products are bad for us as well. I use makeup (occasionally) and every night I oil cleanse with coconut/olive oil, steam my face with a washcloth and then toner. And my face is pretty clear save for the a little pimple that pops up like once every 2 months. So not saying I'm right, but you're not right either. Sometimes, less is more. AND let me clarify, I'm not arguing against her. In fact, I agree with most of them, like mixing glue in a mixture and calling it a face mask, like please.
Yes I got hyperpigmentation from this stuff , I can’t even begin to explain how frustrating it is
cam i steaming your face is actually bad for you and doesn’t do anything at all. The fact that people claim that “it opens pores and allows product too soak in” is ridiculous , I mean come on! Pores do not dilate that is absolutely not how the Anatomy of the face works . Steaming your face actually strips your pores of sebum and can lead too TEWL , to make it worse people add “serums” right after which are actually humectants which pull water from the lower layers of the skin barrier and hydrate the surface layer . The problem with this is that water evaporates thus leaving your face dry and dehydrated. your pores look bigger after steaming because your face is inflamed and irritated! Furthermore washing with coconut oil and olive oil can actually irritate the skin , olive oil and coconut oil are plant derived and it may seem that its benefiting your face but in the long run you may actually develop an allergy too these ingredients on top of that if those are the only products you are using too clean your face your toners doing most of the IF any cleaning work by mopping up a portion of the sebum on your face. which is probably why you haven’t had a bad reaction yet . these
Ingredients are proven too clog pores and it may not irritate you but in the long run you may end up doing long term damage too your face .
@@Kyrabri same my face is dry and dehydrated my pores are clogged and constant dark marks it's horrible even makeup can't cover them I wish I never put coconut oil as a makeup remover and baking soda, peels and diy face cleansers or peels and makeup removers. I can't even get a moisturizer to work properly anymore.
Can you PLEASSEE do a video on what skincare products sold are safe and unsafe? I’ve heard that even some luxury brands use things that are harmful to your skin and it’d be cool if you would do different products at different price ranges that are and aren’t harmful please ❤️❤️❤️
TheTorridTaurus absolutely that’s super important thank you!
all of them
In luxury products, I avoid ingredients like gold. It's rubbish :P
Avoid Parabens. Ewg ( environmental working group) has rating on product safety .
Avoid skincare with gold, it clogs pores. Many luxury products are also heavily fragranced so be careful with that as even hardy skin can be irritated by it over time. Also try and avoid facial scrubs with things like sugar/coffee grounds/etc. in them as they will actually give you micro-tears, opt for gentle chemical exfolients instead (you could also use man made scrubbing beads but those are usually bad for the environment).
My dermatologist back home in Cuba told me to make a scrub with SUGAR 😳🤯 and soap to help with my black heads and pimples when I was 14. 10 years later being a nurse and following proper skin care information makes me realize she could have caused real damage to my skin 😭. Thanks for your advices and amazing channel 👏🏻
OMG... now I see why my skin has been so terrible lately. In my early 20s, my skincare routine was simple. Wash with black soap, tone with ACV, moisturize with coconut oil. Having oily acne-prone skin, that regimen actually gave me the best skin I've ever had. Even better than ProActiv and other products I tried. Now I'm in my late 20s going on 30 and my skin just doesn't react the same. I had to stop using coconut oil altogether. I still use ACV diluted with water and Dr. Bonner's Castille soap to wash my face. But I am looking for better ways to care for my skin. This video is really enlightening.
I had cystic acne for 10 years. UNTIL I used diluted ACV for a toner, and baking soda as an exfolient. Been using it for 7 years. I listen to results, not what someone on UA-cam says.
Miranda Aldred how did you use the baking soda?
Absolutely! I spent thousands on skin care and nothing worked. I took the natural route, but I use white vinegar instead of ACV and my skin has been amazing for the past 3 years.
Miranda Aldred not everyone is able to do that method but I agree how some UA-camrs do know what tf be talking about...
cjodigo white vinegar with what?
But everyone is different 🤷♀️ she’s speaking to the majority.
You will take coconut oil from my cold, dead, moisturized hands.
burymeinpink 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
Lol
lmao
😂
She's so right about the tea tree oil. I see a lot of people use it and I used it myself on my pimples and a few days later they turned into really dark scars 😕
I'm a cosmetic chemist and a esthetician... I cannot tell you the craziness I've seen and heard. Girl you are preaching.
Now, can you tell me what your education is and what you do daily in your job? Apparently, I'm really great at chemistry and one of my teachers want me to change my major to biochemistry. Personally, I think the science is boring, but I enjoy the labs, and I'm at an age where I'm wondering if I should do something I'm good at and gives decent pay, even though it might be boring. I would like to know what daily work is like for chemists.
Thank you for including safe alternatives
Thank you for making this. You seem well educated and I like that you give alternatives instead just dragging down what people do. I wondered most things myself while using and never seen any positive results.
Love how she is using scientific proof, but when using lemon, baking soda and apple cider vinegar you dilute it of course with water, but your video was still great
“Apple cider vinegar taste like apple juice that’s already been thrown up” 🤣🤣 deadass lol
Reminder : Jesus is coming for His people, God bless you
What a very informative and knowledgeable video. This is the first time I ran across you and I will say, the first thing I did was subscribe to you. You know your stuff and I am extremely impressed. Thank you.
This was informative and backed by your education in this field. You broke things down to understand the balance of skin and reactions. You definitely speaking some truth and helping to inform what could cause potential harm. Loved the video. Make more to help those struggling with skin conditions. Thank you
I've used apple cider vinegar in my home-made toner. Since I began my homemade regiment my skin glows and I no longer have ACNE. I'm 34 and people think I'm 22. My skin looks better, now, at 34 then when I was a teenager using expensive products on my skin.
I always use coconut oil on my face especially when im sick or am breaking out and it clears my skin up and leaves it looking better than before been using it consistently since 2016
Coconut oil has never worked for me. A lot of people would suggest it, but it would make my acne worse.
@@themelanatednomad6989 yeah fr that’s because everyone’s skin is different
@@themelanatednomad6989 make coconut oil by your self. Don't buy online due to we don't know if they add any chemicals in it
I dilute the acv with water and then put it on my face. Works really well for a toner.
i just want a bob ducan daddy yes it does and gets rid of acne spots.
Same
i just want a bob ducan daddy i totally agree too
i just want a bob ducan daddy. Do u use half n half acv and water?
What's acv?
People in the comment section big mad
When I drink lots of water and eat fruits and vegetables, my skin looks great. But I only know what works for me.
Katie von Gremp same here
@@moniquejackson7397 I love the name Monique.
Bruh, I do the same and my skin is still bad.
@@treasure7278 Bruh, I would love to help you. I am not a professional, and skincare people are probably not allowed to go back to work. Have you done this? Order Vitamin A in oil or gel form. Mix it with jojoba oil, and put it on your face. A very thin layer. The skin needs to breathe. Also, every time you sweat, clean again and apply moisturizers, etc. Try these things. Give it some time. Also, and I know this sounds strange, but talk to the cells of your body. Thank them for keeping you healthy. Tell them you know how powerful they are. Thank them for helping you with your skin. It works. It might feel strange at first, but keep doing it until it feels right. Know your skin is going to get better. Create a mantra. "I know my skin is getting better every day. I love my skin." Something like that. Say it until it becomes your new belief. It works. Lastly, and most importantly, love the way you look NOW. If you only focus on what you don't like, you'll just keep getting more of the same. Sounds weird, but who cares. People thought the world was flat. Turns out that weird Galileo dude was right.
Katie von Gremp Thank you
I am going to trust everything you say because 1. Your skin is the most flawless things I’ve seen and 2. You are very very knowledgeable on the topic
Me too she's amazing
Aloe masks reduced a stubborn patch of hyper pigmentation on my face, I swear by it.
Kerry Berry I believe you!!
Same here
SAME. I HAD A BUNCH OF ACNE SCARS ON MY FOREHEAD AND ALOE ELIMINATED THEM ALL.
Could you enlighten me on what aloe mask you used and how? I have hyperpigmentation on my neck and it’s hell getting rid of
I have hyperpigmentation around my mouth, enlighten me please
Girl you cray! I have used baking soda to exfoliate my face, I diy body sugar scrubs with oil, avocado or coconut oil. I swear by apple cider vinegar. It got rid of acne scaring on my daughter’s face and back. A couple swipes on a face pad diluted with water is all that’s needed. I rather use what God has provided then use man made chemicals in my skin everyday. So on some of these you missed the mark.
Livingboldlynfierce hi i started using apple cider vinegar as a toner i have dark spots from acne will it help me to remove them?
Blazing Demon absolutely. You have to be patient and diligent when using apple cider vinegar. But it will get rid of acne scaring. I also take it for weight loss but, but that’s a whole subject I won’t get into. Lemon, turmeric and baking soda work well for getting rid of acne scarring too. She’s wrong. I wouldn’t use all three at one time though and I’d dilute with a little water until I got use to which ever one I chose. Rose hip oil at night will help too. Just a little goes a long way and check and see if it pore clogging first and it’s light weight. I don’t believe it is if I recall correctly from my reading. I use it religiously and it smooths and evens my skin. Also it anti aging. Lastly, no matter what we put on our skin if we aren’t healthy from the inside it shows on our skin. So eat good food and drink lots of water. Couldn’t help myself with that tip. It’s the mother in me. Hope I didn’t over step.
Blazing Demon ok I can only answer based on what you’re telling me. I’m not sure if you have oily, dry, normal or combination skin. I’m not sure if it’s acne prone. I will tell you this. My daughter uses black African soap on her body to shower and on days that she has heavy volleyball training and may need to wash her face three times, she’ll use it as her second wash. However, she doesn’t do this to her face every day because it can be drying to her skin. So if it makes you feel dry it may not be something you want to use everyday. Only when you feel excessively oily. Maybe twice a week. If you’re using black soap and then following with acv as a toner then washing with oil, you are over washing and therefore, drying your skin. This can have the opposite affect that you want and cause more acne or breakouts. You always want to be gentle with your skin.
If I were you I’d get a gentle exfoliating scrub like Cetiphil or Neutrogena. Something mild and gentle to begin with. I’d then dilute a cotton pad with water and apple cider vinegar and use as a toner. I’d then moisturize with an oil free moisturizer or a lighter oil. Castor and hemp are kinda heavy. Rosehip, almond, grape seed are lighter. Once a week I’d do a clay mask like bentonite clay or charcoal mask. Biore’ has a good one. Steam facial are good to open the pores and clean out impurities once a week too. Also, mask that come in those packages and have the eyes and mouth cut out are great too. My daughter recently discovered that her skin responds well to those. But you have to know what kind of skin you have in order to know what to target when buying those. Sometimes based on how your skin is feeling it’s ok to exfoliate wash at night and only clean with a wash cloth in the morning. Then follow with a toner and moisturizer. You have to decide if and when you need to do this. I really can’t say. It’s about getting to know and love your skin. As you learn more about what it likes and doesn’t like you’ll know what it needs. I hope this helps.
Livingboldlynfierce i have oily acne prone skin i will stop using the african soap that much I really like the castor oil and hemp oil they make my skin feel great i will use them as cleansing and for moisturizing i also have a face scrub that is really gentle with my skin i will use that to clean my face everyday when i wake up and use Apple cider vinegar for toner
Livingboldlynfierce i want to keep everyting simple and natural for now my skin is not that bad i just want to get rid of my acne scars i hate them had them for 3years i still get pimples i had a big zit on my forehead last week and thats why I decided to start a routine to clear my skin ive went to dermatologist before but the things they gave me are so harsh to the skin and i have read so many things that the skin gets addicted to the products and when u stop using them the acne comes even worse
This was SUPER informative! I know this is an older video but if you have time I would love to know: is turmeric ok for skin? Thanks so much for your insight!
i’m only 17 & i was misled and used baking soda on my face several dozen times throughout last year and my skin has undoubtedly aged..
Omg sorry to hear that. I would recommend find a simple natural skincare routine. However do a detail research and see what match your skin type.
I need more people to start listening to professional licenses estheticians like you when it comes to skincare. The only ingredient I was ever guilty of using was coconut oil because i didn’t feel like buying my usual makeup remover but then my dermatologist told me to stop because she said it was actually dehydrating my skin
I make natural cosmetics and soaps, and I agree with what you said for the most part, but some of these ingredients are very helpful ingredients for certain applications for the skin care ingredients- I guess my point is for the viewers of this video; don’t DIY anything until you have a reliable ph tester.NEVER use any of these as a leave on product on the face, and never use them at full strength. I use SB as a ph adjuster, along with citric acid if I need to adjust in that direction of course always using my ph meter to make natural products designed for my clients personal ph.
Also, soap is very alkaline and that might be something to add to your list of don’t put this in your face; real soap; while a wash off product isn’t the greatest facial cleanser and when clients come to me with acne over washing with soap is a common culprit. Bentonite clay, a little glycerin and a few drops of peppermint EO makes a great spot treatment and all over mask for acne prone skin.
Thank you so much or making this video because it definitely needed be be addressed. 💜
I loved how u backed up why we shouldn’t use these ingredients ❤️
Ok please tell me what editing software allows you to have the iPhone on the screening as your doing your video? I’m trying to learn.
You are soooo right! Pinterest is the worst when it comes to people posting crap like that lol. And THANK YOU for bringing up the coconut oil! I have been saying this for months! People don't look at the comedogenic ratings when they are doing their diy creams/lotions/serums. People also need to invest in some litmus paper to check the pH of what they are creating or it will do more damage than good. Finally someone who knows what they're talking about!
Another product I hate seeing in skincare is 'natural perfumes' like lavender. Perfumes have no real business being in skincare, and as someone with sensitive skin it irritates my skin.
Jeannette Perez lavender essential oil? or lavender perfumes ? i’ve heard of lavender being a hydrating essential oil. is there another kind ???
You have to dilute the oil and it's fine but perfumes on the face can irritate the skin.
Lauren Solano lavender is not hydrating. Only water based products can be hydrating.
Good to know lol. I saw an article saying using it on split ends is good but I'm glad I asked a pro before listening to a dumb article.
Lavendar EO (no matter how diluted) gives me such bad hives. IDK, I think people are too relaxed when it comes to essential oils because those things can mess up your skin!
I use aloe, activating black charcoal combined with coconut oil. Really nice. They work wonders for me.
omg,thank you for the warning!!i am truly grateful.i wld have really damaged my facial skin.THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
I use an olive oil and sugar mix once a week and it makes my face SO SOFT. I can't believe it's actually bad for me!! I'll just use it for my body now
The olive oil makes your skin soft, not the sugar. it's way too abrasive.
FINALLY A GOOD VIDEO ABOUT SKIN
you're so pretty btw ❤
Hey army😀😀😀😀💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, May God help me and everyone else to keep their skin healthy 🙏🏽
Yesss finally an honest person!!. Loooved your video. Thank you for amazing tips/advice! x
Apple cider vinegar keeps my skin really clear and doesn't dry it out!
Nikki Nichols Me too!
+ Nikki Nichols and + iGoldenPineallpeii Gamming, How do you use it? Undiluted, it will burn the skin.
same here, it works well on my face too. My hair also.
Loran Hunt hair!?
Shit! I use tea tree oil as a makeup remover.
I actually burned my skin with raw ACV a while ago when I was young and dumb lmao and coconut oil makes my skin and hair dry .. it’s weird 😂😂
Your video is very informational .. it makes sense .
you never should put acv full strength. should be diluted
You probably didnt water it down.
Omg you just saved my skin 😢😢😢 I’ve been wondering why I use coconut oil, lemon etc and end up with more breakouts 😰😰
this video is so lifesaving while creating my own skin care products for my business. thank you for all the helpful info
"Dangerous" a bit much. Perhaps some of those products may be harsh on certain skin types....but not dangerous. Overkill on the terminology.
sandrarthornton Agreed.
O once saw a news story of these little girls who making lemonade cutting lemons outside. They didnt wash their hands and stayed out in the sun and suffered very bad burns. This stuff can be dangerous to skins health.
well scrubbing your face with baking soda and lemon, then moisturizing it with coconot oil and head out outside in the sun can be dangerous, yes. and reading comments here, alot of people do that on a daily basis. Good luck in 5 years with that skin :/
Agreed
Mimi krause Anything done foolishly can be considered "dangerous".
Furthermore, even a licensed esthetician can put products on your skin that cause an adverse reaction. It's called having an allergic reaction.
I really appreciate this video. I've developed a ton of chemical sensitivities that have led me into the world of natural skin care. What am I finding?
Most people don't know what the hell they're talking about and I have NO idea who to trust. I desperately need help to cut through the crap so I don't make my situation worse than it already is.
Thank you so much for this.
Firstly, everything is a chemical. Natural ingredients are composed of various chemicals. If you're comparing natural to synthetic ingredients, not all natural ingredients are safe and not all synthetic ingredients are harmful.
If you want the most reliable information, trust the experts, like dermatologists, cosmetic chemists, and some (but not all) estheticians. Dr Dray, Dr Sam Bunting (board certified dermatologists) and Lab Muffin Beauty Science (chemist) make fantastic informative videos on different skin issues, skin care products, and specific ingredients.
coconut oil actually can be used as a lubricant, and is a lot safer than other products. this video was very informative ! thanks for sharing these dos and don’ts
This really helped me understand skincare so much better😩‼️ this is the video I needed💀
You really know your stuff. No waffling just straight to the point.
I've noticed that tea tree oil made my skin worse, I had no idea it was so potent. Thank you for this info, much appreciated!
You have to dilute or mix essential oils as it's concentrated when doing so (essential oils) it's pretty effective.
me as well! Glad I am not the only one. :)
tea tree lotion is a blessing for me😬😍
Thank you soooo much for posting this video! Just came across your channel and I am finding your knowledge very helpful.
Loveeeeeeee this video and your personality!!! Thanks for educating us 💕
Don't listen to random internet people about skincare
Wtf do you think I'm doing
Grell Sutcliff tbh this is the best comment on this video
Grell Sutcliff don’t listen to unlicensed random internet people about skincare! Lol
Lol
😂😂😂
Watching a video made bye wa licensed professional esthetician. What do you think you're doing?
Now I'm paranoid she came for the Apple Cider Vinegar, AND Tea Tree oil.
@Sequoiah Dreams only horrible if you dont dilute the tea tree oil 1-9
She said tea tree oil is fine just pair it with almond oil
@Sequoiah Dreams tea tree oil wash very harsh for my skin and peeled off my skin!!
Tea tree oil is something I use to dry out my healing piercing when it gets irritated, it's definitely too strong to put straight on your face. She's right about diluting it.
Well there's still tons of other ways you can use those without applying it to your face. Apple cider also helps out with weight loss and I think it can be applied to your hair but don't quote me on that. Also tea tree oil is most noted to help hair and with aroma therapy.
I've been using baking soda and coconut oil once a week for years and it helped me so much! I remove my make up with washable cotton scrubbies using coconut oil and water, and my face is never greasy and always really soft. My face never fell of tho 😂
Thank goodness for you and your common sense approach to skincare. I'm a former nurse so I do research and more research. I use coconut oil on my face, but it's dry dry dry and so does my sister because her skin is also dry dry. Borage oil is best for dry skin but it's pricey. I do use other beautiful oils and plant butters and being a Kiwi I love Manuka honey. It cured a nasty infection and prevented my needing a skin graft. Quite a story.....I use raw honey in my lip balms. Manuka is a bit pricey and even though I'm a New Zealander it doesn't mean I get a discount, unfortunately. You've got such beautiful skin. I've got horrid pigmented Celtic skin which I hate with a passion. Everyday I find another liver spot! I'm just waiting for them to all to join up. I've tried all sorts of potions and lotions and none of them work. In fact I reckon they get worse. As I'm on photosensitizing medication the sun's my enemy. I also keep away from certain essential oils for that reason, although distilled lime, tangerine are safe and I use them in my lip balms. You're a very funny and spirited young woman and I bet your mother's proud of you. Thanks again.
What a fanatastic video! Exceptionally informative, witty, articulate and engaging. Thank you so much. So subscribing! Btw- GORGEOUS skin!
Apple cider vinegar works! It works for me my face is super clear after I started using it. I dilute it with water wash it off with water and a Shea butter soap and then use a moisturizer
KIKI & HERSON girllllll I will try it now!! Apple cider vinegar already does wonders for my skin, because it has the same ph
Kiki Guin 💯
Hey! Thankyou for sharing all this information!!! I have been using coconut oil, I did not know it was bad, but I use it all over my body, not on the face, is that okay? And thankyou for also adding a list of products you approved of towards the end. Super helpful!
Also thank you! Sorry I'm going thru the stages of grief over here, but I did not what to come off as not appreciative! I appreciate the Straight forward info and you got a sub for sure!
Thanks for the video. I'm obsessed with natural skincare and it seems to really work for my skin. What other alternatives would you recommend for natural exfoliating? And what do you think about rosewater as a toner?
Rosewater is very gentle and soothing. i dont believe it really "tones" the face but if your skin is sensitive, it'll love it
I started using ACV and clear vinegar over 20 years ago. I am now 51 years of age. I am a black female with no moles and a lot of people say that I look 41 years of age. I cannot risk my skin having those black moles on my face. I can deal with wrinkles and I can probably even deal with a pimple. But those black moles I will not shall not cannot have. I will continue to use ACV, clear vinegar, lemon juice and lime juice. In moderation of course.😍😊😀
😂😂😂😂😂😂,am behind you dia
I have combination skin. Coconut oil on my face gave me cystic acne for the first time in my life!! I stopped using it on my face, and tried it on my legs, but it broke my legs out with pimples too. I will only use it on my hair now!
How do I remove hair I’m Dying especially when I can’t leave the house
My skin has gotten way better since I’ve switched to natural products. How can something that’s natural be worse than chemicals in a factory.
Moriah Johnson while I agree natural is way better I will say chemicals aren't invented in a factory. Factories simply mix the natural chemicals that occur in earth and make solutions just like we do with diys and sometimes the mixes become over complicated or are not suitable for our bodies. For example I see a lot of people in the comments saying mix bentonite clay with water instead of acv. That is terrible for your skin you should always mix bentonite clay with something acidic like acv fo neutralize it because it is very basic. We can easily mess up using natural ingredients too
She- she literally mentioned a) that some of those should just not be used by themselves and are fine if you dilute them b) natural products at the end of the video that are safe to use. Work on your listening comprehension skills
Natural always = better is BS. Arsenic is natural but you don't see me using it. Some natural ingredients are irritants. However many products that have gone through lab testing have removed the irritants or have very minimal formulas using molecules taken from natural ingredients with the not so good bits removed
XXLYS the arsenic is the most dumnass argument and im so sick of it.
Aurora Eve eh sure, that was my purposefully snarky answer, but honestly there's a fair chance that both 'natural' and carefully made skincare products can give someone a reaction.
People have allergies to all kinds of things, including natural ingredients. Some natural ingredients are incredibly irritating (certain essential oils, volatile plant extracts etc)
And equally there are synthetic ingredients that other people's skin disagrees with and no, these issues don't immediately crop up more often with synthetically derived ingredients.
I don't deny that some raw ingredients can work well for some, but others are just bad news in their pure form. It helps to know the science behind both.
When people start looking up what the ingredients in skincare really are, from a scientific source (like ingredients directories - Beautypedia and the sources they use can be very informative and LabMuffin has a great video on natural skincare from a scientific perspective), you realise that what's in products that have gone through refinement or have been through a lab actually contain useful things. Like emulsifiers, ingredients that stabilise or enhances the other and helpful preservatives that elongates shelf life. And as said, a lot of those do come from natural sources, but only the effective bits have been selected.
I'm all a for natural skin care routine. And not going to lie I have used some of these dangerous ingredients but she does make a lot sense. Ph balance is very important, and she explained everything very well. She definitely knows what she's talking about. I also love that she gave other natural alternatives that are healthy for your skin. She's very knowledgeable.
Why is everyone so obsessed with a "natural skincare routine" I'm so confused
I’m happy that you gave better suggestions
I love how you ended up naming the video “don’t put this shit on your face” anyways 😂😂🧡
