So I wish that part of the industry were more honest
I went through the same thing with a Kpop group in 2019. It surprised me how much makeup one of the members was wearing up close, but it looked normal seeing them perform on stage. I hate how society makes fans automatically expect their idols to look perfect.
As someone who works at an Ulta, I can confirm children have been coming in droves for the Drunk Elephant products and leaving it a mess. They keep getting so disgusting so quickly my GM told us to just not make testers of them anymore. Also they're bronzing drops have been sold out since like Black Friday and I still get asked 5 times a day if we have them, and most of the people asking are 12 year olds. I just know these kids parents just drop them off at the mall with their credit cards and let them run havoc. Granted, me and my friends used to hang out at the mall as kids but we would never wreck anything and also we had like $20 to spend so we'd shop the clearance sections and then still save a couple bucks for food. I don't wanna sound like a boomer but some kids need to learn to respect public places.
Nah forral tho . U don’t sound like a boomer. None of them work a retail job yet, so they’re all lil shits that will complain about the same thing in a few years when mommy cuts them off and they have to find a job 😅
Working in retail, often teens and tweens are out of control when alone, but just as often are parents actively telling the children they are with to go ahead and trash the place, or adults just trashing the place without any kids around.
No as a teen I completely get this- like there's a time and place for everything, people need to learn how to be respectful in businesses/professional situations
That's not a boomer thing to say. Respecting people and places should be something every single parent teaches their children and something that every person should follow. It's common decency.

@@harvarduniversity1213 True, but op is right about it not changing anything, and as the person above you said it’s just another way to market non-better alternatives meant tog mérate profit for the promoter.
i've had acne since i was 11, and i had a hard time sticking with products because i always broke out and was too embarrassed to go to school with my face full of acne every single day. i'm 20 now and finally got to see a dermatologist early last month, and i'm not stressing out if the two products i'm using are working or not, because i'm finally taking the time to trust the process and wait as long as i need to. my acne has gotten better as i got older but it still makes me self conscious from time to time. i'm grateful that people are starting to be neutral about skin, but nothing can make up for the massive amount of nights i spent crying because i hated the way i looked.
that sounds painful :( i'm glad you've finally reached a time where you've learned to trust your skin to do its thing! i totally relate to the whole jumping between products without giving it enough time to work problem.
I feel you.. acne was one of the reasons I got bullied in middle school and I couldn't bare it back then and dropped out of school. I'm in my 30s now and it took me a lot of time and patience to find the right beauty routine. You're on the right track
as a person with a chronic skin condition (seborrheic dermatitis) i'm really sick of this beauty standard, i can't control how my skin looks, i shouldn't be judged for something so stupid. there's more to a person than their appearance. acne, scars, wrinkles, etc are normal and shouldn't be made into an insecurity. love urself, don't think negative things about urself bc of some stupid standard
Skin is a mirror of organism health, that's why people as a species are so focused on it, if there're visible problems with skin of an adult it can mean person has genetical problems or infection, it's an irrational fear that is a base for high standarts that no human can get to.
@@dubblebubbletoilandtrouble6646 my mother used to always say that I don't wash my face enough when I just covered it with tones of alcohol oitment cause I had many pimples XXDD Good thing she stopped saying me that.
Seborrhea is awful, got it when hormonal stuff rose at teenagehood. The result is: oily + problematic skin with with dandruff and pimples on my head skin. I often hated myself and asked myself why I couldn't be born with normal skin.
Same i have dpn skin condition and its getting worse i have spent so much money for treatment and its the most draining thing in life like its so depressing coz pple wont understand they treat me so horribly for something i cant control
I’m a licensed esthetician and the only products I recommend for my younger clients are a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Or even a moisturizer and sunscreen combination for clients that don’t want to have so many steps. For my acne clients I usually let them know to get a spot treatment for their acne. My clients come to me to help them manage their skin and I let them know they are still young and their hormones are the ones causing acne. I always tell them it is fine they don’t use the products. My job is to recommend and it’s up to them, with all my clients I never force them to use something. Also I don’t know if it’s still happening to kids but why do others bully each other for their skin, they can’t control acne from happening. Genetics play a huge part in getting acne, like are they going to make fun of their parents as well. But my point is you don’t need a 10 step beauty routine when you’re just a teenager, you’re a kid and you’re still growing.
I was just thinking about this because I was looking up the love is blind stars’ instagrams and barely recognized some of them. The new norm of facetuning everything is so bizarre. Thanks for covering these somewhat heavy topics in a lighthearted but introspective way
If depression taught me anything, it's that F it. I'll laugh even if it gives me wrinkles. The more wrinkles the more you know I was happy as a young person. And that's priceless.
I actually had a meltdown today about my skin when trying to apply make-up and scrubbed my face with a harsh towel. For some reason my skin was so flaky that I looked like a zombie in my opinion. I accidentally scrubbed so hard in my panicky frenzy that I now have an open wound on my right cheek. There's no way to cover that with make-up. Don't do what I did. I was being dumb about my skin and now I have to live with that scrub wound for probably a week or so.
when applying makeup make sure that your skincare is good and has absorbed into your skin. no matter what skin type you have, moisturizing is important. also make sure that you aren’t packing things onto your face when doing makeup (less is always more).
The lesson is be kind to yourself. I hope you got it. It sounds like your skin just needs more moisture, and maybe a mild daily exfoliant. Try different things out, you're never too young and it's never too late to take care of yourself from a place of love.
I just checked my phone camera settings and the selfies mode has blur on by default. You have to turn it off. It's so insidious. I was so ashamed of my skin when I was younger because I had cystic acne but now I refuse to be. I'm getting older and I have fine lines, hyperpigmentarion and acne scars because I've been out living my life
I've had acne and acne scars ever since I hit puberty (so like 8 years now). I can't even imagine having completely clear skin bc these scars are normal for me. I appreciate the short occasion where my skin does decide to clear up 💀 I also want to mention an idol group that really doesn't shy away from showing their actual skin on camera. Yes they touch up for official photos like every other celebrity. But even while casually filming with and without makeup on you can see their blemishes. My only thought is 'teach me your secrets/techniques 😭' bc their stylist does such a good job. Like they share their skincare routines and ik I can trust it bc I can see their skin (tho some of them have such clear skin I'm in disbelief every time I see them)
Thanks a ton for creating such content and giving us all the "reality checks" ! Even I used to think "flawless and perfect skin "something that actually exist and these so called celebrities & influencers are glamorizing & diluting their audience's mind to a level that they get insecure and underconfident about their natural and perfect humanly features 😔
I'm happy with everything about me, except for my skin. I have acne, psoriasis, excema, spider veins, I bruise way too easy. If my skin could just stop sabotaging me, I would be very happy lol
Look into nutrition for that. Oils (omega/GLA), amino acids, vitamin/mineral, probiotics, etc. So many things about health are interrelated. Detox or support for the immune system for getting rid of heavy metals, parasites etc is imp too.
Psoriasis and excema and spider veins? Damn, your skin is really set to hell mode 😰 I've only dealt with cystic acne and that was already hard, it took a lot of time to figure out I break out mostly because of drinking milk, which my mom always told me would make me taller... I spent so much money on skincare but nothing actually made a huge difference as giving up all dairy foods (which is so hard because I love cheese and ice cream 😭) Your skin is probably a tough battle everyday, don't get too frustrated with yourself if you make some progress but still get flare ups and break outs and bruises, sometimes I still eat some cheese because I want to live well in the moment and deal with the consequences later 🫣 Skin is so personal that others advice may not be all that useful, so all the best luck to find treatments or lifestyle changes that work for you!
I'm going to echo the first comment and suggest to look into nutrition. If you have both psoriasis and eczema I recommend looking into food and environmental triggers, there's a high likelihood they are connected
My sister keeps saying stuff about how bad her skin is, and the other day I literally was like “you’re 13! Your skin is just like that!” I remember worrying about acne when I was her age too though. It’s taken a while to change my mindset from “acne is disgusting and should be eradicated” to “just wanna wash my face and be clean, not worry too much about acne since it’s generally outside of my control half the time anyways.” I’m just glad I’m too lazy to care at all about makeup.
I really needed this video especially when it feels like so many people have perfect skin and here's my skin throwing a fit even tho I'm doing my best to take care of it. I know it's common sense not everyone has perfect skin it sure as hell feells like it tho. I appreciate your commentary 💕💕💕💕 I'm working on accepting my skin being differences and continuing to take care of it the best I can.
Your one-liners have me cracking up! 70 year old grandpa (K-pop). 😂 You are hilarious! I’m Fil-am (Asian) and my daily regimen consists of Cetaphil daily cleanser and moisturizer then lip balm (Carmex or Aquaphor). Maybe 3x a year I’d wear lipstick for occasions. I never liked foundation. I feel like my skin can’t breathe. But to each her own. I tried/played around with filters with my family and we just started cracking up because it’s so NOT normal! No one can look that “perfect.”
I have had the worst acne since I hit pueberty and have always been really insecure about it. I literally hated going outside because I felt hideous...I'm 16 now, and my acne is still really bad, but watching videos like this have really helped me get some of my self-esteem again!
31 and still on the process of recovering from hating my skin because ads made me think having any texture, blemish or zit as a teen was unnatural and terribly ugly. Now I very proudly and consciously show my natural skin no matter what, and make sure it's visible in my videos. We need more real, relatable skins shown on the Net.
yes i so so agree!! as a young adult it’s so hard to resist but i never use them to normalize human skin for what it actually looks like. i hope others do the same
I'm 46 and I'm back in school. I don't wear any makeup. I wash my face and use quality moisturizers. Im proud how youthful I look for my age thanks to wearing sunblock my whole life. I love aging naturally.
This is a big reality shock because it genuinely feels as if it came from a parody because like this is so incredibly ingrained into our society and holy crap
Getting used to not wearing makeup, not taking filtered selfies has really helped me love my natural self. Im living my life unfiltered and it feels so damn good to walk out, being able to rub my eyes or touch my face! Aside from that, my skin tone has evened out and my skin is so hydrated. I feel clean and breathable… not filtered and heavy or caked. Not that theres anything wrong with that but you just dont get the same freedom or confidence that naturalistic traits bring.
Thank you, I needed this video. I've been struggling with a depressive episode for a while now, and my skin has taken the toll. My pores look so visible lately. It started making me feel like crap and I rarely go on social media, but I watch a lot of UA-cam, so I'm still exposed to content that's probably only showing the best image of individuals on screen (altered or not). I seriously started to think about learning how to properly do my makeup to hide away, but I'm sure my skin will fix itself once I get out of this episode and get back to my skincare routine (daily showering and applying moisturizer). I'm trying, and your videos have been helpful for my mental health ❤
Ryujin looks so beautiful in that photo of her natural skin texture. She still has perfect skin with texture. But all the non-photoshop photos look better.
I don't know if I just have never seen myself with good lighting but my skin looks better than all the examples you've shown of famous people without filters and that scares me
Personally I think that people that wear a lot of makeup regularly have pretty bad skin. I only wear makeup on special occasions and my skin looks better than theirs too. 🙂
a lot of these pictures are also taken at events and makeup meant to look for the camera tends to be more heavy-handed so close up pictures like the ones shown in this video tend to make them look worse.
Honestly same but I think it's because they wear heavy foundation all over their face (because it looks good on camera which is a huge part of their job). And heavy foundation kinda makes blemishes look worse imo
For the longest time I was so insecure after seeing so many k-beauty pics etc, seeing their perfect skin and wondering is it really in their genes that most of the Koreans have the perfect skin. Obviously there's the skincare + surgeries but it took me a while to understand that yes, they too edit their photos. No one's perfect, why we need to edit the photos so much that it doesn't look natural anymore.
i used to be so conscious of my skin, because sometimes i have a lot of breakouts, sometimes i have none, and whenever i had breakouts i would fuss over them wishing they would go away, but recently, i started not to care that much. i mean, it could be due to lack of sleep, what you eat, hormones, stress, and stuff, but atp im just like, bestie, i have no time and maybe even money, to worry abt that or fix that. it’ll go away at some point, and it’s definitely normal to have textures and what not.
I've never worn makeup. And never worried about skincare until my early 40s. Now I just use hyaluronic acid and retinol and I always moisturize. My skin looks so healthy and wrinkle free.
This has actually been really helpful 😭 Thank you for this. I've struggled with acne, scarring, and pores since I was a kid. Combined with my dogshit eyesight that blurs people slightly even irl, I've kind of forgotten complete smoothness isn't realistic.
I laughed at the “water and dish rag to wash your face”. I do that! I’m 38 and dealt with acne from 22 till 33. I tried all the usual washes. I finally got an acne prescription which was basically a very low-dose antibiotic. After that, I washed my face every night with just water and a washcloth and washed it with a Berts Bees Sensitive skin cleanser about once every 4 days. I took the medicine for a year till I lost my insurance and continued my regular washing routine. My skin has stayed clear. This video actually made me feel better about myself. My skin looks 200 times better than all those pictures without the filters, I don’t even have bumps like that. Maybe mine is doing so well because I’ve never spent more than a week with any skincare routine that puts a bunch of stuff on my face. It’s always only been about the acne washes. Plus I never used any coverups or foundations. My only makeup routine is a bit of eyeliner. Never thought I’d watch a video about unattainable standards and walk away feeling great. 😄
I know that preventative skin care for children under 12 is something that can be effective: For instance, anything that prevents oily skin and/or Acne from starting! I could have used Proactiv, Acnease, Accutane starting in the fifth grade, to prevent Acne from starting! Back in the Day!
Watching Idol content and seeing their skin blurred in video is so damn weird. Like, I can tell it's blurred, because the blur is bleeding into their hair, ears, etc. It's uncanny.
I stopped wearing foundation and my skin has never looked better. It got smoother, doesn’t flake anymore, and hardly get breakouts. Just the occasional pms breakouts.
As a geriatric (I’m 42 🤓) I still don’t use crazy products on my skin and people always tell me my skin is great…maybe I’m lucky or maybe just water and exfoliating is all we need? Either way, love yourself as you are please 🙏🏻 life’s too short to give af what others think 💜
good genes! everyone needs basic skincare, but if your skin is great with minimal effort, thank the people you got your genes from, because you got a good set. Enjoy it! and hold space in your heart for the rest of us, who are trying our best ; D
Fellow geriatric here, so envious of your great skin! I always wore sunscreen but unfortunately have baaad genes, and I'm wrinkling like a great-grandmother. In the last year I developed smoker's lines in spite of never smoking and rarely using straws, which seems rather unfair!
geriatric? GIRL YOU’RE LOOKING YOUTHFUL AF. but even so, 42 isn’t old at all!! - an 18 year old who cannot wait to be 42. ur skin is SOSO NICE. i have a similar skin type, clear and low maintenance. when i “breakout” i only get 3 pimples at a time or so. it’s GREAT. manifesting the same for everyone else 😤😤❤️❤️❤️ you’re all perfect even without it. skin texture is so lovely!!! proves we’re all human ✊😤
thanks, Ed. I've been struggling with acne for the past two months, and I'm sure it has to do with my mental health - my acne always flares up when I'm overstressed. I'm so used to seeing clear skin everywhere, it's impossible to not feel like an ugly monster when I see the blemishes on my face. Thanks for the reminder.
I am one of those lucky people who has almost perfect skin on face and I've never used anything but water on it but at the same time I had big problems with acne on my chest and back especially in high school. No one's 100% perfect
Trishas video was honestly so funny because its making fun of a specific ad, weird way to sell skin care and didn't earn my dollar but the amount of sarcasm is great
My daughter uses retinol at 12 because i got it for her😂 but its not for wrinkles, its for acne scars which she was already really self conscious over. & it makes us both break out a lot less. I had to get her some once i watched my face full of acne scars completely disappear in 2-3 months & i even stopped breaking out❤ Its cerave retinol resurfacing serum in case anyones wondering, itll get rid of the red scars & the deep ones!
Honestly I just use moisturizer to prevent my skin from peeling off like a reptile. There’s texture but hey it’s perfectly fine for me. More time to sleep.
11:35 You know, knowing Trisha, that's kinda her style. Something that seem dumb and unintentional might be pretty much intensional. Who made that add nailed pretty well her freaking confusing style.
“Really young kids are starting preventative anti-aging routines at the ripe old age of 12, is this why 30 year olds are getting called senior citizens, and according to tiktok 40 year olds are geriatric??” Well ain’t that the truth 😂
what I really dislike about this trend too, is that many people act as if it’s easily achievable within a week as long as you have the correct products. people sometimes compliment me on my skin but I always tell them that it is the result of a consistent skincare routine I’ve had for 6 years. it’s not overnight, it’s habit that after years can show good results.
My skincare is ‘I was ph my face with water and a rag every morning’ and it works well for me! I’m not aiming for perfect lol. I’m also allergic to a lot of fraquences and other skincare ingredients, so better safe then sorry with buying stuff lol. I’m also just really lucky to have naturally good looking skin that isn’t acne prone lol
Anyone else think that scars and blemishes look way cooler than clear skin? I’ve been witnessing the Clear Skin craze and I’m just confused because it’s so different from what I find attractive.
For me it was a trauma when I was a teenager and told that acne was a teenager thing, in my late 30ties I still have it and it doesn't seem to go away...
I have had bad acne on my cheeks for awhile. I'm 22 now and it's only gotten worse. I struggle to find the "perfect skin care routine" I feel like I've tried everything down to diet. People keep marketing their products and saying they cure acne. If I can stop trying to "cure it" and just love my skin I think I'd be a lot happier. I just want to stop worrying about it. I know I'm hygienic that should be enough.
Tretinoin, CeraVe or other simple moisturizer and sunscreen. This is what helped my oily, sensitive, acne prone skin. I also stopped washing my face in the morning. I put on my sunscreen (re-apply it of course) and that's it. But I did a lot of research and experiments to get to where I am now.
I hate it when companies and celebrities sell skincare products but use filters, editing or have makeup on the model. It's false advertising. I wish that there was a law similar to drug commercials that made them state the use of filters, editing, etc.
I just wanted to say that I totally agree w your early statement about using basics. Last year I was using different am and pm creams, retinoids, bha and aha, niacins, acids, along with salicylic cleansers. my skin was absolute garbage. Instead now I just use Simple’s daily light moisturiser, wash my face once at night, sun cream and use a prescribed acne treatment and my skin is calmer, softer, and clearer than ever.
I had no skincare routine until I hit my twenties other than not going out in the sun. The early 2000’s was so bad with tanning beds and I’m glad I never used one because I saved a shit ton of money on skin products lmaooo
I'm in the western gyaru community, and I always say "yes I'm filtered, here's a list of everything I've edited" and then drop the names of all 3 photo editing apps I use to make sure I look as fake as possible 😂😂
You should make a video highlighting just how long photos have been edited. Think about it, have you ever seen a Victorian with freckles or acne? Also whenever you see an impossibly small waist in antique photos 98% of the time you can see the shadow of where the waist was originally. Editing photos was just part of the service you would get to process the pictures back then.
I think I got really good skin, I've never dealt with serious acne, or any of the other problem children. But, the standard of perfect clear untouched smooth skin is so hard to live with, especially as someone who doesn't wear make up. I just feel that standard a lot, and sometimes, I think I feel that standard ten-fold because I don't like to wear make up, so I'm constanly seeing blurred made up faces, and comparing them to mine.
Trish was making a joke, the rest are trying to fool us, but obviously nobody will have perfect skin. Just love yourself for who you are, life is easier that way.

Skin is a mirror of organism health, that's why people as a species are so focused on it, if there're visible problems with skin of an adult it can mean person has genetical problems or infection, it's an irrational fear that is a base for high standarts that no human can get to.
@@dubblebubbletoilandtrouble6646 my mother used to always say that I don't wash my face enough when I just covered it with tones of alcohol oitment cause I had many pimples XXDD Good thing she stopped saying me that.
Seborrhea is awful, got it when hormonal stuff rose at teenagehood. The result is: oily + problematic skin with with dandruff and pimples on my head skin. I often hated myself and asked myself why I couldn't be born with normal skin.
Same i have dpn skin condition and its getting worse i have spent so much money for treatment and its the most draining thing in life like its so depressing coz pple wont understand they treat me so horribly for something i cant control
I’m a licensed esthetician and the only products I recommend for my younger clients are a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Or even a moisturizer and sunscreen combination for clients that don’t want to have so many steps. For my acne clients I usually let them know to get a spot treatment for their acne. My clients come to me to help them manage their skin and I let them know they are still young and their hormones are the ones causing acne. I always tell them it is fine they don’t use the products. My job is to recommend and it’s up to them, with all my clients I never force them to use something. Also I don’t know if it’s still happening to kids but why do others bully each other for their skin, they can’t control acne from happening. Genetics play a huge part in getting acne, like are they going to make fun of their parents as well. But my point is you don’t need a 10 step beauty routine when you’re just a teenager, you’re a kid and you’re still growing.
What about acne as an adult? (not due to shoddy hygiene or bad diet)
I was just thinking about this because I was looking up the love is blind stars’ instagrams and barely recognized some of them. The new norm of facetuning everything is so bizarre. Thanks for covering these somewhat heavy topics in a lighthearted but introspective way
If depression taught me anything, it's that
F it. I'll laugh even if it gives me wrinkles. The more wrinkles the more you know I was happy as a young person. And that's priceless.
I actually had a meltdown today about my skin when trying to apply make-up and scrubbed my face with a harsh towel. For some reason my skin was so flaky that I looked like a zombie in my opinion. I accidentally scrubbed so hard in my panicky frenzy that I now have an open wound on my right cheek. There's no way to cover that with make-up. Don't do what I did. I was being dumb about my skin and now I have to live with that scrub wound for probably a week or so.
I hope your wound heals soon, using paper towels is better for your skin and don't be harsh
My skin does that with makeup,especially foundation…so now I don’t use it
when applying makeup make sure that your skincare is good and has absorbed into your skin. no matter what skin type you have, moisturizing is important. also make sure that you aren’t packing things onto your face when doing makeup (less is always more).
The lesson is be kind to yourself. I hope you got it. It sounds like your skin just needs more moisture, and maybe a mild daily exfoliant. Try different things out, you're never too young and it's never too late to take care of yourself from a place of love.
I can't tell you how many times I've done the same thing.
I just checked my phone camera settings and the selfies mode has blur on by default. You have to turn it off. It's so insidious. I was so ashamed of my skin when I was younger because I had cystic acne but now I refuse to be. I'm getting older and I have fine lines, hyperpigmentarion and acne scars because I've been out living my life
Omg you're right, mine too. I never take selfies tho anyway..cause I hate my skin 🥹👍
I've had acne and acne scars ever since I hit puberty (so like 8 years now). I can't even imagine having completely clear skin bc these scars are normal for me. I appreciate the short occasion where my skin does decide to clear up 💀
I also want to mention an idol group that really doesn't shy away from showing their actual skin on camera. Yes they touch up for official photos like every other celebrity. But even while casually filming with and without makeup on you can see their blemishes. My only thought is 'teach me your secrets/techniques 😭' bc their stylist does such a good job. Like they share their skincare routines and ik I can trust it bc I can see their skin (tho some of them have such clear skin I'm in disbelief every time I see them)
who is this idol group you're talking about? i'm rlly curious now
Is it Stray Kids? 😅
@@emiscommentingaccount96 or mamamoo? 🤔
@@taesfilter3026 it's ateez
6:34 Honestly I think her skin texture is alot more attractive than the extreme airbrush filters
Yeah, she looks beautiful without the filters.
Thanks a ton for creating such content and giving us all the "reality checks" !
Even I used to think "flawless and perfect skin "something that actually exist and these so called celebrities & influencers are glamorizing & diluting their audience's mind to a level that they get insecure and underconfident about their natural and perfect humanly features 😔
video transported me immediately to 0:09, i was on a rollercoaster
I'm happy with everything about me, except for my skin. I have acne, psoriasis, excema, spider veins, I bruise way too easy.
If my skin could just stop sabotaging me, I would be very happy lol
Look into nutrition for that. Oils (omega/GLA), amino acids, vitamin/mineral, probiotics, etc. So many things about health are interrelated. Detox or support for the immune system for getting rid of heavy metals, parasites etc is imp too.
Psoriasis and excema and spider veins? Damn, your skin is really set to hell mode 😰 I've only dealt with cystic acne and that was already hard, it took a lot of time to figure out I break out mostly because of drinking milk, which my mom always told me would make me taller... I spent so much money on skincare but nothing actually made a huge difference as giving up all dairy foods (which is so hard because I love cheese and ice cream 😭)
Your skin is probably a tough battle everyday, don't get too frustrated with yourself if you make some progress but still get flare ups and break outs and bruises, sometimes I still eat some cheese because I want to live well in the moment and deal with the consequences later 🫣 Skin is so personal that others advice may not be all that useful, so all the best luck to find treatments or lifestyle changes that work for you!
I'm going to echo the first comment and suggest to look into nutrition. If you have both psoriasis and eczema I recommend looking into food and environmental triggers, there's a high likelihood they are connected
Same, but I am somewhat a light pale greenish yellow caramel color it's complicated
Who's letting society cook we getting tired 😫
My sister keeps saying stuff about how bad her skin is, and the other day I literally was like “you’re 13! Your skin is just like that!”
I remember worrying about acne when I was her age too though. It’s taken a while to change my mindset from “acne is disgusting and should be eradicated” to “just wanna wash my face and be clean, not worry too much about acne since it’s generally outside of my control half the time anyways.” I’m just glad I’m too lazy to care at all about makeup.
After seeing this I realize and appreciate how good my skin is
I used to think it wasn’t that great but now I feel better thank you
I really needed this video especially when it feels like so many people have perfect skin and here's my skin throwing a fit even tho I'm doing my best to take care of it. I know it's common sense not everyone has perfect skin it sure as hell feells like it tho. I appreciate your commentary 💕💕💕💕 I'm working on accepting my skin being differences and continuing to take care of it the best I can.
Your one-liners have me cracking up! 70 year old grandpa (K-pop). 😂 You are hilarious! I’m Fil-am (Asian) and my daily regimen consists of Cetaphil daily cleanser and moisturizer then lip balm (Carmex or Aquaphor). Maybe 3x a year I’d wear lipstick for occasions. I never liked foundation. I feel like my skin can’t breathe. But to each her own. I tried/played around with filters with my family and we just started cracking up because it’s so NOT normal! No one can look that “perfect.”
I have had the worst acne since I hit pueberty and have always been really insecure about it. I literally hated going outside because I felt hideous...I'm 16 now, and my acne is still really bad, but watching videos like this have really helped me get some of my self-esteem again!
31 and still on the process of recovering from hating my skin because ads made me think having any texture, blemish or zit as a teen was unnatural and terribly ugly. Now I very proudly and consciously show my natural skin no matter what, and make sure it's visible in my videos. We need more real, relatable skins shown on the Net.
yes i so so agree!! as a young adult it’s so hard to resist but i never use them to normalize human skin for what it actually looks like. i hope others do the same
I'm 46 and I'm back in school. I don't wear any makeup. I wash my face and use quality moisturizers.
Im proud how youthful I look for my age thanks to wearing sunblock my whole life.
I love aging naturally.
This is a big reality shock because it genuinely feels as if it came from a parody because like this is so incredibly ingrained into our society and holy crap
Getting used to not wearing makeup, not taking filtered selfies has really helped me love my natural self. Im living my life unfiltered and it feels so damn good to walk out, being able to rub my eyes or touch my face! Aside from that, my skin tone has evened out and my skin is so hydrated. I feel clean and breathable… not filtered and heavy or caked. Not that theres anything wrong with that but you just dont get the same freedom or confidence that naturalistic traits bring.
Thank you, I needed this video. I've been struggling with a depressive episode for a while now, and my skin has taken the toll. My pores look so visible lately. It started making me feel like crap and I rarely go on social media, but I watch a lot of UA-cam, so I'm still exposed to content that's probably only showing the best image of individuals on screen (altered or not). I seriously started to think about learning how to properly do my makeup to hide away, but I'm sure my skin will fix itself once I get out of this episode and get back to my skincare routine (daily showering and applying moisturizer). I'm trying, and your videos have been helpful for my mental health ❤
Ryujin looks so beautiful in that photo of her natural skin texture. She still has perfect skin with texture. But all the non-photoshop photos look better.
I don't know if I just have never seen myself with good lighting but my skin looks better than all the examples you've shown of famous people without filters and that scares me
Personally I think that people that wear a lot of makeup regularly have pretty bad skin. I only wear makeup on special occasions and my skin looks better than theirs too. 🙂
a lot of these pictures are also taken at events and makeup meant to look for the camera tends to be more heavy-handed so close up pictures like the ones shown in this video tend to make them look worse.
Honestly same but I think it's because they wear heavy foundation all over their face (because it looks good on camera which is a huge part of their job). And heavy foundation kinda makes blemishes look worse imo
they also go through so much pressure and stress ... how you expect them to be like a normal person...
Same 😭
This hair style and color is so flattering on you.
wake up babe a new edvasian video just dropped
For the longest time I was so insecure after seeing so many k-beauty pics etc, seeing their perfect skin and wondering is it really in their genes that most of the Koreans have the perfect skin. Obviously there's the skincare + surgeries but it took me a while to understand that yes, they too edit their photos. No one's perfect, why we need to edit the photos so much that it doesn't look natural anymore.
i used to be so conscious of my skin, because sometimes i have a lot of breakouts, sometimes i have none, and whenever i had breakouts i would fuss over them wishing they would go away, but recently, i started not to care that much. i mean, it could be due to lack of sleep, what you eat, hormones, stress, and stuff, but atp im just like, bestie, i have no time and maybe even money, to worry abt that or fix that. it’ll go away at some point, and it’s definitely normal to have textures and what not.
I've never worn makeup. And never worried about skincare until my early 40s. Now I just use hyaluronic acid and retinol and I always moisturize. My skin looks so healthy and wrinkle free.
This has actually been really helpful 😭 Thank you for this. I've struggled with acne, scarring, and pores since I was a kid. Combined with my dogshit eyesight that blurs people slightly even irl, I've kind of forgotten complete smoothness isn't realistic.
I laughed at the “water and dish rag to wash your face”.
I do that! I’m 38 and dealt with acne from 22 till 33. I tried all the usual washes. I finally got an acne prescription which was basically a very low-dose antibiotic. After that, I washed my face every night with just water and a washcloth and washed it with a Berts Bees Sensitive skin cleanser about once every 4 days. I took the medicine for a year till I lost my insurance and continued my regular washing routine. My skin has stayed clear.
This video actually made me feel better about myself. My skin looks 200 times better than all those pictures without the filters, I don’t even have bumps like that.
Maybe mine is doing so well because I’ve never spent more than a week with any skincare routine that puts a bunch of stuff on my face. It’s always only been about the acne washes. Plus I never used any coverups or foundations. My only makeup routine is a bit of eyeliner.
Never thought I’d watch a video about unattainable standards and walk away feeling great. 😄
My skin looks better in the mirror than on camera and now I'm starting to look weird even with basic filters
11:28 I'm worried about the amount of makeup that dog is ingesting
I know that preventative skin care for children under 12 is something that can be effective: For instance, anything that prevents oily skin and/or Acne from starting! I could have used Proactiv, Acnease, Accutane starting in the fifth grade, to prevent Acne from starting! Back in the Day!
Watching Idol content and seeing their skin blurred in video is so damn weird. Like, I can tell it's blurred, because the blur is bleeding into their hair, ears, etc. It's uncanny.
I stopped wearing foundation and my skin has never looked better. It got smoother, doesn’t flake anymore, and hardly get breakouts. Just the occasional pms breakouts.
As a geriatric (I’m 42 🤓) I still don’t use crazy products on my skin and people always tell me my skin is great…maybe I’m lucky or maybe just water and exfoliating is all we need? Either way, love yourself as you are please 🙏🏻 life’s too short to give af what others think 💜
good genes! everyone needs basic skincare, but if your skin is great with minimal effort, thank the people you got your genes from, because you got a good set. Enjoy it! and hold space in your heart for the rest of us, who are trying our best ; D
@@ilj382 you’re absolutely right, good genes 🧬 and I do hold you all in my heart 💜 I wish everyone’s skin was easy to look after ✌🏻
Fellow geriatric here, so envious of your great skin! I always wore sunscreen but unfortunately have baaad genes, and I'm wrinkling like a great-grandmother. In the last year I developed smoker's lines in spite of never smoking and rarely using straws, which seems rather unfair!
geriatric? GIRL YOU’RE LOOKING YOUTHFUL AF. but even so, 42 isn’t old at all!! - an 18 year old who cannot wait to be 42. ur skin is SOSO NICE. i have a similar skin type, clear and low maintenance. when i “breakout” i only get 3 pimples at a time or so. it’s GREAT. manifesting the same for everyone else 😤😤❤️❤️❤️ you’re all perfect even without it. skin texture is so lovely!!! proves we’re all human ✊😤
You have the nicest and most effective requesting of likes and comments that I've seen 😄 also i love your videos. Keep it up!
Would dig an updated skincare routine, even if it is basic. Thanks for the videos!
thanks, Ed. I've been struggling with acne for the past two months, and I'm sure it has to do with my mental health - my acne always flares up when I'm overstressed. I'm so used to seeing clear skin everywhere, it's impossible to not feel like an ugly monster when I see the blemishes on my face. Thanks for the reminder.
I am one of those lucky people who has almost perfect skin on face and I've never used anything but water on it but at the same time I had big problems with acne on my chest and back especially in high school. No one's 100% perfect
Trishas video was honestly so funny because its making fun of a specific ad, weird way to sell skin care and didn't earn my dollar but the amount of sarcasm is great
I don't understand how people buy that celebrities are showing photos "bare faced" when you can clearly see that they're wearing a bunch of makeup 😂
I have only one thing to say. STEP AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. It will do you so much good, people.
I probably need a compilation of that weird and exteme tiktok face filter glitches during livestreams to feel better
Thank you Ed. I will keep my delusion and season it with a teaspoon of skepticism. Happy moving. Hope everything goes smooth.
My daughter uses retinol at 12 because i got it for her😂 but its not for wrinkles, its for acne scars which she was already really self conscious over. & it makes us both break out a lot less. I had to get her some once i watched my face full of acne scars completely disappear in 2-3 months & i even stopped breaking out❤ Its cerave retinol resurfacing serum in case anyones wondering, itll get rid of the red scars & the deep ones!
Honestly I just use moisturizer to prevent my skin from peeling off like a reptile. There’s texture but hey it’s perfectly fine for me. More time to sleep.
Honestly I don't give a crap if laughing gives me wrinkles.
when are we gonna get a edvasian haircare and skincare daily routine vid, waiitng patiently
EDVASIAAAAAAN, DROP THE SKINCARE ROUTINE!!!! Your skin is to die for 😫
Thank you for this reminder!
I enjoy watching makeup/beauty tiktoks but oh boy does it give me more brain damage on top of my existing brain damage
you have no idea how much better i feel, thank you!
11:35 You know, knowing Trisha, that's kinda her style. Something that seem dumb and unintentional might be pretty much intensional. Who made that add nailed pretty well her freaking confusing style.
The Mikayla impersonation took me OUT 😂😂 it was just so unexpected
“Really young kids are starting preventative anti-aging routines at the ripe old age of 12, is this why 30 year olds are getting called senior citizens, and according to tiktok 40 year olds are geriatric??” Well ain’t that the truth 😂
what I really dislike about this trend too, is that many people act as if it’s easily achievable within a week as long as you have the correct products. people sometimes compliment me on my skin but I always tell them that it is the result of a consistent skincare routine I’ve had for 6 years. it’s not overnight, it’s habit that after years can show good results.
Skincare and makeup in the morning before putting on my glasses is like a real life filter 😂
My skincare is ‘I was ph my face with water and a rag every morning’ and it works well for me! I’m not aiming for perfect lol. I’m also allergic to a lot of fraquences and other skincare ingredients, so better safe then sorry with buying stuff lol. I’m also just really lucky to have naturally good looking skin that isn’t acne prone lol
Anyone else think that scars and blemishes look way cooler than clear skin? I’ve been witnessing the Clear Skin craze and I’m just confused because it’s so different from what I find attractive.
amazing vid. every one should watch. we should definitely talk about this
Edvasian, I just found your channel the other day. You make me smile, and your voice is very relaxing. Thank you ❤
For me it was a trauma when I was a teenager and told that acne was a teenager thing, in my late 30ties I still have it and it doesn't seem to go away...
"If your age is only one digit, its okay to be like those people for the time being " 😂
edwin is meeting the perfect skin standard tho 😭
I have had bad acne on my cheeks for awhile. I'm 22 now and it's only gotten worse. I struggle to find the "perfect skin care routine" I feel like I've tried everything down to diet. People keep marketing their products and saying they cure acne. If I can stop trying to "cure it" and just love my skin I think I'd be a lot happier. I just want to stop worrying about it. I know I'm hygienic that should be enough.
Tretinoin, CeraVe or other simple moisturizer and sunscreen. This is what helped my oily, sensitive, acne prone skin.
I also stopped washing my face in the morning. I put on my sunscreen (re-apply it of course) and that's it.
But I did a lot of research and experiments to get to where I am now.
Edvasios! Keep preaching, I love your personality!
I hate it when companies and celebrities sell skincare products but use filters, editing or have makeup on the model. It's false advertising. I wish that there was a law similar to drug commercials that made them state the use of filters, editing, etc.
Off topic but I’m always excited to see your videos. Sometimes I even rewatch some. You’re the perfect blend of informative and entertaining
2:33 hard water and a razor
Lighting is truly everythinggggg
I just wanted to say that I totally agree w your early statement about using basics. Last year I was using different am and pm creams, retinoids, bha and aha, niacins, acids, along with salicylic cleansers. my skin was absolute garbage. Instead now I just use Simple’s daily light moisturiser, wash my face once at night, sun cream and use a prescribed acne treatment and my skin is calmer, softer, and clearer than ever.
I had no skincare routine until I hit my twenties other than not going out in the sun. The early 2000’s was so bad with tanning beds and I’m glad I never used one because I saved a shit ton of money on skin products lmaooo
I'm in the western gyaru community, and I always say "yes I'm filtered, here's a list of everything I've edited" and then drop the names of all 3 photo editing apps I use to make sure I look as fake as possible 😂😂
The most expensive stuff....like a fool! lol, very true! I guess we all got to learn.
appreciate your vibe ; may the algae bless you
My favorite thing is when they « splash » their faces with water from 3 inches away.😂
EVERYONE SO CREATIVE! 😁 those clips crack me up, I love the reference
You should make a video highlighting just how long photos have been edited. Think about it, have you ever seen a Victorian with freckles or acne? Also whenever you see an impossibly small waist in antique photos 98% of the time you can see the shadow of where the waist was originally. Editing photos was just part of the service you would get to process the pictures back then.
Thanks for the chuckles! Worth the wrinkles
I think I got really good skin, I've never dealt with serious acne, or any of the other problem children. But, the standard of perfect clear untouched smooth skin is so hard to live with, especially as someone who doesn't wear make up. I just feel that standard a lot, and sometimes, I think I feel that standard ten-fold because I don't like to wear make up, so I'm constanly seeing blurred made up faces, and comparing them to mine.
"all for the price of your mental health" >.< best quote
Not the chronically online “everybody’s so creative” referencd
Those "ugly" pictures still look amazing, boy you should see my skin....
I must add you look great in that ad, like a real model!
Not the invisible belly button LOL these filters are out of control!!
Trish was making a joke, the rest are trying to fool us, but obviously nobody will have perfect skin. Just love yourself for who you are, life is easier that way.
First time watcher here. I just wanted to say I love your sarcasm 😂
I really love your honesty ❤
When she starts talking I think of "Mike Wazowski where's ya papaWork"
There is no need for it but it just happens
"all for the price of your mental health"
