I find it interesting that majority if not almost ALL of these "anti aging" tiktoks all have people who are YOUNG. Like...I wanna hear anti aging skin care from someone in their 50's not a 20 year old!
This is by far the funniest/saddest part--all these teenagers and 20-somethings obsessing over 'this gets rid of wrinkles'. Like, sweetie, you didn't have wrinkles to begin with. That's just what your skin looks like when it's hydrated when you're that age. Do they not know anyone over the age of 40? 😅
@@CordeliaWagner1999 GREAT. I think it goes without saying though a 20 year old with wrinkles compared to a 50 year old with wrinkles is vastly different. I want to hear how the 50 year old is taking care of themselves.
Anti aging starts when you are young tho. Like when you are 50 you are already 'aged'. Anti aging just means stopping or slowing getting wrinkles and skin damage.. so starting in your 20s will make you look 'younger' in your 50s
That is what’s more make me angry, that and when a celeb full of filter start make Makeup and the comments is full of people compliments the quality of the products and skin care, but from beginning exist filter and lighting like, that reveals are not real.

@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEEN If you don't believe in skincare or suncare, then why are you using makeup? Kinda weird honestly... Also you say your skin is fine, but girly there is probably so much damage beneath your skin. Also skin cancer is a real thing. Science exists. You don't know better than scientist lol
Garlic? Just like botox Flax seed? Just like botox Silicon patches? You guessed it, botox Carrots? Botox Smoking cigarettes? Botox Drinking soda? Just like botox!
Yeah but none of those (that I can find atleast) claim to help about the things she mention. Just ”improve you immunsystem” - wich isn’t really based in any evidensbased studies And ”fight off tics/prevent tics-bites” - wich is the only evidensbased claim they make

@@zannadunstrand6289We advise in my hospital any patient that will undergo surgery (except the emergency ones) to stop taking garlic supplements and/or consuming several cloves of fresh garlic for a week at least because of its blood thinning properties.

I totally get people wanting Botox or using wrinkle cream to reduce wrinkles. To each their own. But I feel like consciously restricting yourself from making facial expressions robs you of a key aspect of human existence. We have such a short time on this rock, why limit ourselves that way?
Expressionless faces is so weird. I don't like it. Give me the wrinkles. If it's so bad it's making me depressed I'd actually rather have a face and or brow lift.
My sister was big on not showing too much facial expression cuz “it will give your wrinkles”. Chick you look bland if you want,,,,nobody is going to have to guess how I feel.
I don't make facial expressions because it is what I got taught to do it's a waste of time and energy to pull facial expressions I support the Wednesday look twenty four seven it's my thing I will stick to it
@@robingray8822I agree. I started going down the face care rabbit hole due to an on and off battle with acne.I had to promise myself to limit my targeting to dealing with the acne, having a correctly moisturized face, and limit attempts to deal with dark circles. Iwant to take caer of my skin, nit base my every eye twitch on whetherai mightget wrinkles or not lols
"My skin without foundation," either that's a full beat or you have very well graded sun damage on your forehead that looks like bronzer and your cheeks are a perfect bubblegum pink. She speaks of dark spots which are not evident anywhere but that under eye highlight is popping
to me, I hear dark spots and think acne scars. just cuz I have really bad scarring that is gonna take a lot of intense treating to fade. apparently to her, a dark spot seems to be slight discoloration from an angry pimple
Fun fact: Back in the Portuguese dictatorship time, when the men were forced to be drafted and deployed to fight in the colonial war, the soldiers would shove garlic cloves up their arses and that would induce fever so they were temporarily excused to fight in the war fronts.
Garlic annihilates bacteria, it's not impossible that spot treating with garlic oil and taking garlic supplements could work as an antibiotic but it's so far from the best option and it's not by any means going to cure it. And eating the garlic clove whole is almost pointless. You actually could cause other problems by messing with your gut bacteria. Not to mention the smell lol. But I have treated an ear infection with diluted garlic oil (when I had no medical coverage 😅) and it works overnight. I used to get the most excruciatingly painful, miserable ear infections and it was worth having a smell ear the next day 😂
@@RaccoonNation what 😂😂😂 first of all: you own a racoon? Where do you live that owning them is a tving? Second of all: what is garlic? A animal - wich one? A stuffed animal/a toy? A acctual garlic? I have so many questions
I hate the constant refrain of “it’s just like botox!”😭 If we could slather on some flax seeds & get the same effect as Botox injections, this would be common knowledge by now & we’d all be walking around with frozen facial muscles lol It wouldn’t be a secret, and people wouldn’t be paying $$$ for actual Botox.
Recommending taking that much garlic could also be dangerous for some people. It does work as a blood thinner. If someone is already on a blood thinner or has a bleeding disorder it could cause problems. You can get garlic supplements, but not for the reasons stated in the TikTok.
@@theirmanager5204absolutely! There are many common spices and supplements that can thin the blood such as turmeric and vitamin E; even drinking too much camomile tea can do it! There must be lists on the internet- have a look. I had a few dangerous supplement routines too before I found out! I hope you get a notification for this; youtube is being weird lately. 😕
The surgeons in my hospital advises patients undergoing surgery (except emergency cases) to stop consuming garlic supplements or several cloves of fresh garlic a day for at least a week. Excessive bleeding and hypotension can kill a patient on the table. Garlic is unavoidable as folk medicine in my workplace.
The girl swallowed a whole garlic clove and talked about not chewing it to not get garlic breath but is not concerned about the heinous garlic burps she’s about to have.
The whole makeup expiration thing makes me realize how much wastefulness there is in the beauty community. Like these influencers buy so much and are sent so much makeup only to use once for a 3 minute video, and it gets shoved into their huge collection of makeup. So wasteful
@@NoisyHill_ I save expired eyeshadow to use as pigment for resin! I've never gone through a full pan of any shadow, including the tones I scrape out for drag and cosplay
I got a KatVonD eye shadow palette years ago, and got eye infections both times I used it (I was ok, they thankfully were easy to treat). Sephora wouldn't refund me, and it took me a month of jumping through hoops with Sephora/KVD to get a refund. I poked around the 'net and found a few other people talking about infections from that palette as well as the one you held up, and I still wonder if they didn't have a quality control problem with certain colors and/or palettes made during a certain time frame.
@@AlwaysDreamingsame. I still use KVD beauty and still have the old palettes just as museum pieces that no longer use. But I wonder if op washed their brushes regularly.
The girl who says she isn’t wearing foundation with the huge contour line on her forehead 👁️, the concealer under her eyes 👁️, the blush on her cheeks 👁️, the highlight on top of the blush 👁️, and the highlight on her nose 👁️. All of it set in place too.
it was the perfectly bronzed forhead for me. either she's using a filter or just trying to use semantics. "I (technically) am (only) not wearing foundation"
I'm not that good at spotting makeup on people (I don't wear it myself), but even I could tell she's got a bunch on. Like okay, you might not have _foundation_ on, but that is NOT your bare skin
James I love how you say those Lush sheet masks are shit and terrifying and then “are they discontinued? Oh no, they’re in stock! I’m gonna buy it!” Hahaha!!! 😂 😂😂
One of our church leaders nearly died from swallowing a whole garlic glove. It got stuck in his throat and he couldn't get it out for more than a minute. He was alone so couldn't find anyone to help, until it finally dislodged. He gave a whole sermon about it, it was the scariest moment of his life
Thank you for starting back telling us what you’re using. I never understood how people complained about a skincare influencer talking about his skincare products !
The girl pretending that she can't move her forehead because she used a wrinkle patch is funny. A patch isn't botox, its not gonna prevent her from moving her face😂
I will say I spent like most of my life not expressing my forehead or raising my brows much when I express my face because someone told me when I was a teen not to or I’d get wrinkles lol and than tried patches and now I cannot move my forehead very much 😂
@@NettleAbsentmindedlyshe went from my forehead is paralyzed to oh look I can move it normally.. she had no problem moving it by accident at the end of the video 😂
I'm a microbiologist and I was dying at your pronunciations of Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas and Bacillus!! Amazing. But yea, don't use expired makeup. It's not just the formula that might break down with time, but bacteria can grow in it. It's a similar reason your brother is always getting on makeup artists not using hygienic practices when working on clients. Skin has tons of bacteria on it. It will grow in your make up if you touch something from your skin to the makeup. Lots of these bacteria are not harmful, but when they sit and grow and grow in your makeup, and then you put it on your eyes... You are taking a big risk!
@@JamesWelsh My guess is because 1. it's discontinued, so they can't buy another one 2. they haven't used it much so they have still have a lot of product left and find it a waste to throw it away or 3. because it's expensive so they don't want to buy another one. (I'll admit, I'm guilty of that. Especially with my mascara and brow gel for red hair and my foundation for fair skin with a pink undertone, it's expensive and the foundation shade is hard to find, so I'm gonna use every last bit of it)
Also an IBS sufferer 😩 I was told by my medical practitioner to soak garlic and onion in a jar of olive oil. Then use the olive oil in lieu of garlic and onion. It will taste of garlic and onion without upsetting your stomach.
not the girl saying she's not wearing foundation when she's very obviously got a full face of makeup on.... but seriously it's so concerning to see people from the ages of 13-25 saying they want to get rid of all their wrinkles likeeeee what wrinkles!!! you don't have wrinkles!!! you aren't even finished developing into your adult self!!!!!
I’m 30 and it’s only now I get a slight wrinkle between my brows from frowning. Trying not to and keeping my skin moisturised helps. Absolute joke that these teens/early 20’s are on about anti aging when they won’t get wrinkles for another decade. Besides what people do to prevent/reverse aging looks waaay worse than actually aging. How many young people have we seen that have gotten botox and filler in their early 20’s now look older than some of us in our 30’s. Skincare routine for preventing aging in the 20’s is fine. Botox and filler do the opposite. Ages them so much
@@FleaÉire Same, I'm 28 and I got a vague line mid brows from frowning. I frown a lot, my family sometimes tell me to stop frowning, but it'a a habit and I guess I'll live with a permanent scowl when I'll be older. Other wrinkles? Not one. I don't really know why young influencers keep worrying about something they will start to have in 10 or 15 years.
So I wear a full face sometimes without foundation I don't have the.for foundation at all I barely use highlighter, contour just eyeshadow, eyeliner,mascara and lipstick I support the goth look sans extremely white face us goths don't use highlighter contour bronzer blush etc
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEEN man no offense but i don't think you know what 'goth' means. goths can wear any type of makeup. and most people wear bronzer/blush/contour nowadays because heavy eyeshadow looks bad without heavy face makeup too. its all gotta be matching and cohesive.
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEEN many goths definitely contour or add blush. I've worn literal clown makeup to the club because I didn't want to be recognized that night 😂
When I was in 2nd grade I tried to convince other kids that if you had an Adams apple then you were sick, and I feel like I get that same energy from some of these influencers. Just saying dumb shit to see if they can convince you.
The garlic one has me dead! I love garlic and cook with it a LOT and I still have very regular breakouts. I wish garlic worked like that because my skin would be flawless!
In a world where everything is so hectic, thank u james for ur calming videos. I could listen to u talking about wash powder and it would still have the same calming effect. I appreciate u 🙏🏻🌹
I too have gotten pink eye from makeup. Halloween, 2016, London, gave all my flat mates the most fire Halloween looks with my teeny tiny Claire’s palette and pound land brushes. Do I regret it? Yes, my vision never fully recovered 🙃
I've always had issues with lush skin care. Love their bath stuff, and scrubs for exfoliation on the body, but I will never put anything on my face from them.
Not chewing or crushing the garlic and swallowing it whole won't activate the allicin. Thats why you're supposed to crush garlic 10 mins before you cook with it if you want the health benefits. I mean it still won't help your acne, but you'll get the other health benefits.
The idea behind the silicon patches is not to stop you from moving your face but to trap moisture and hydrate the skin, which would (temporarily) smooth wrinkles. 😊
It's both. If you read the descriptions on the various sites that sell them, they are meant to keep you skin immobile and the moisture trapped under the patch makes it look like it smooths wrinkles. I know this because one of the reasons I never tried these is that you can't have anything under the patch, otherwise it doesn't stick enough to stop you face from moving, and obviously you can't use it if you have oily skin for the same reason.
If you're like me and CRINGE at the idea of yeeting a $50+ palette in the trash, check if any of your friends or family is the artsy type. Some of the eyeshadow pigments can be repurposed into paint, nail art, resin, and more!
@@bisexualantigone I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure spraying pallets with isopropyl alcohol is a fairly standard practice in the industry for sanitizing between clients so it shouldn't hurt the pallet. I would definitely start with a light mist first just in case.
PSA: if it is a wet substrate, mascara, cream eyeshadow, etc., and you did not use a clean brush or finger every time, you should ditch it if, it’s been past a year, past the expiration, or it smells or feels funky, aside from mascara which should be no more than 3 months. Dry stuff is a bit more difficult to say, since moisture, and the oils in creams, are usually the problem. Usually that will keep for awhile, as in almost indefinitely, but eventually the texture will go off and it definitely shouldn’t be used around the eyes if you are sensitive. You should also wipe off the surface with a paper towel to remove anything on the surface if it has been awhile.
14:07 i was legit going to say i’m sure she was using other products to help lighten her skin in conjunction with the mask and THAT’S what got rid of her dark spots & hyperpigmentation. NOT the mask lol
Usable for 7 days...but how many people do sheet masks everyday? After I use one I have to give my skin at least a one week break or else I'll break out badly. So it might be usable for 7 days, but at the end you might use it like one or two times.
I still remember when I read it was good for damaged hair, so I kept making this horrid flax seed slime to throw on my hair like a mask and it didn't do shit, beside taking an eternity to wash off. Is there anything them flax seeds are said to do that's true?😂
2:22 that’s why I’ll never understand ppl who’re makeup collectors and have these huge collections, like makeup expires and gets moldy, so Idu the purpose of collecting all this makeup that A. They’ll probably never even use bc they have so many and realistically will only use one or two and B. If you do use it, it’ll give you zombie face and plus it’s just wasteful and unnecessary clutter
agreed! i really try to use up mine, no matter how difficult it is sometimes. you know what - i've got some old palettes laying around & i think i'm just going to throw them out...
There is tuff you can buy and use to stop it going mouldy tarababyz talks about it on her channel I use isocol spray and that works big time especially when I lived in a big time wet humidity climate
If anyone wants throw away make up etc and lives in the UK, Sainsbury's supermarket has a recycling box for them. So save your eyes and save the environment at the same time ❤❤
I worked at a beach for three months last summer, and I used a SPF 50 sunscreen (which has sadly been discontinued) and set and mattified it with a sunscreen powder, because why not, then I would reapply both on my lunch break. I also wore a sunhat (not sure what the UPF was of the hat since I didn't have a choice of hat), but that combo worked so well at preventing sun damage. I think my point is that if I'm using a suncreen powder, I'd only use it over a suncreen that I know has at least 50 SPF anyway and it doesn't hurt to set it with a SPF powder. I'm certainly not going to rely on the powder alone - just a potential little bonus.
The thing with garlic though is it in a couple of studies it did show some benefit to the skin in terms of things like antioxidant benefits, wound healing, treatment of fungal infections, and so on. Now if any of these 'I can't believe it's not botox' 'nature knows best' type skincare influences had bothered to so much as glance at these studies they would see that they were studying the active ingredients in garlic and not just swallowing whole garlic cloves or rubbing raw garlic over people's skin.
Pseudomonas is one of the most terrifying infections you can have. I just had to have skin grafts knee to ankle on both shins because of pseudomonas, coupled with a year of harsh, heavy duty IV antibiotic infusions through a PICC line and it has developed a resistance to the medications twice. Also, calling something "natural Botox" is hilarious because Botox itself is the definition of natural 😅
"I am not particularly greasy" Thank you , James ! The am, I used Bioderma ....I am older ...but still have oily skin. You are a calming person, and I appreciate listening to you. Thanks 😁❤
Raw garlic and raw white onions are actually very good for bacteria removal in the body but you do in fact have to squash and bust open the garlic clove to get the benefits. And not recommended to do too much because your gut can’t handle an abundance of it. And I have never heard of it helping with acne.
it does not remove bacteria, it help the proliferation of the good gut bacteria therefore you hopefully get more good bacteria and less of the ones that feed on refine carb and sugar. I would really incorporate garlic in the diet, like slice it with french beans or crush it with vinaigrette on tomatoes. I am really unsure of swallowing the whole thing as I believe it is the soft part in the inside who does the magic
They do not “remove bacteria from the body”. The idea that onion and garlic can “remove “ germs from the air or from the body once consumed came from the miasma theory of illness: that bad smells carried and caused illness. The onion and garlic smelled stronger than the ‘bad miasma’ air, so therefore it must be keeping you from getting sick.We now know that germs, bacteria and fungi cause illness. There is no scientific evidence that consuming onion or garlic will remove bacteria from your body. I don’t know how that would even work. Interestingly, there are compounds in onion, garlic, wine, and cows bile left in a copper vessel for 9 days as prescribed by an ancient medieval book called Bald’s Leechbook, that can have topical antibacterial properties. But it has not been proven to kill bacteria once ingested. It has been shown to work topically against MRSA pretty well, though, which is actually extremely exciting. The thing about bacteria is that they are always evolving and changing to outsmart the antibacterials we use. If onion and garlic could remove bacteria from our bodies, I guarantee you I would never be sick from bacteria, considering how much of both I eat. Unfortunately, I’m sick as we speak and no amount of onion or garlic can help that.
Well in my country people eat raw garlic and onion with salt, especially the green onion and young garlic. They eat them with their meal, not alone. They smell a lot afterwards, but they say it's good for the body 😂
No you have to cut the garlic and leave it for 15 minutes so the same chemical that's in antibiotics is released. The same chemical is in amoxycillin antibiotics so yes technically I'm sure it can remove bacteria
I love watching your videos because you’re obviously someone who values critical thinking with a lot of respect for evidence and reason and holy shit is it so refreshing, especially in the beauty world.
Old eyeshadow can, & should always be sanitized every couple of months, w/ a fine spray of alcohol, AND (@ least I practice), washing my brushes/sanitize brushes/sponges every week, or sometimes more frequently. When it comes to anything moist/liquid-makeup & skincare expiration dates should definitely adhere to‼️ 🌟
I do it too, (a travel bottle of alcohol), & clean my brushes every few days! I think it has helped my skin stay nice; I’m probably A LOT older than you; but I think overall I look decent. I’ll shell out $$$$ occasionally, but I definitely recycle drugstore mascara -I just mark purchase dates on tunes w/ a Sharpie. Sounds as if I hv a compulsive issue-I do not, but facial skin is very thin. Appreciate yr comment. 👍🏽🌺
Exactly. If garlic did help with acne then it would have to be applied topically on the skin. It's the same with vitamin C. When you ingest it, it will not have anywhere near as strong of an effect because your kidneys will excrete most of it (you'll pee it out) or your gut will absorb most of the nutrients in the case of garlic, and the actual amount of vit C/garlic nutrients going into your skin from underneath will be very small. When you apply it ON the skin that doesn't have such excretion mechanisms, you'll end up getting higher concentration going into your skin.
I think you’re forgetting that the digestive system breaks compounds down into smaller bioavailable forms, that once absorbed into the bloodstream can travel to the skin. The issue isn’t with it just getting rid of compounds digested, it’s that they’re not necessarily going to be used how you hope they will. The body has different priorities. The way I view it is that taking things orally supplies your body with the ingredients and the stuff you apply topically supplies the recipe for what you want to happen with the ingredients. Not that one or the other is better in general, but that they serve different purposes and work together. The body needs vitamin C to make collagen, for example, but there are problems with vitamin C being absorbed topically. That’s not to say none gets in, but it oxidising before it can and the skin’s pH sort of repelling vitamin C can interfere with it. Different forms of vitamin C are being formulated to try and get around this, but it’s debatable how well it gets converted once through the skin barrier. And even then, then what? Vitamin C isn’t the only co-factor involved in collagen production. You still need the other ingredients. Do you intend to apply all of them topically? Does it not make more sense to ensure sufficient oral intake, so you know for sure they’re available to the body to use, then apply something else a bit more reliable topically to send the body the recipe for what it should do with the ingredients, such as a retinoid or an AHA?
This video reminded me that I need to go through my makeup bag, so thank you for that lol! I learned this lesson growing up when my mom would let me borrow her makeup for church and school performances... my mom still has things she would not let me get rid of, but I remember when I first started at around age 13 with trying on that stuff for special occasions. I didn't know that eyeshadow wasn't supposed to burn like crazy when you put it on. I have super sensitive skin so thought it was just the formula. Then I got pinkeye from what I would guess was a brown eyeliner pencil from when my mom was in high school. She has Mary Kay I remember her buying from her friend in 2003. I might have to send her this
Hey James! On the topic of expired make up, when do you think is the right time to throw out an eyeshadow palette? I think the expiration date for most of them is a year, but I know myself and many others never goes through the whole pallet or even to the bottom of the pan with certain colors by a year.
I do disagree with sunscreen in everything. I'm allergic to chemical sunscreen, and it's getting really hard to shop for skincare and makeup that doesn't have spf in it.
Omg, James. When I was small, my mom would put me to swallow garlic pieces with water to help me get rid of worms. :)))) Romanian hacks. Oh, the 90s...
I just got frownies patches and theyre similar to the silicone thing the chick was wearing on her forehead. So far I like them! Hope to see a review of products like those from u soon
i personally don't like anti aging stuff at all- or the culture around how "aging is bad". Being old used to be a thing of pride and came with honor and respect, showing that you survived through things and were strong! scars and wrinkles are beautiful and fascinating, they show you've lived a long life full of emotion and diverse experiences. you should be able to tell when someone has lived a happy life by their laugh lines and crows feet, or tell if someone has lived a hard life by their frown lines and forehead wrinkles. Getting rid of all our life marks is like erasing all the words out of a book. There's nothing interesting or inspiring about it, its just blank. Empty. At least, that's what I think.
That lady swallowing garlic 100% had the worst body odour. And even swallowed whole, that garlic immediately starts to break down in her stomach, and she will burp and stink, or, alternatively, fart pretty rank lol.
The way you pronounced those bacteria names made my day. Lol. Reminds me when I was learning them back in medical school - my friends and I would spend hours trying to figure out how to pronounce these names. 😂 good memories. Also, the kind of eye infection she has, if it had progressed to preseptal cellulitis, can literally make people lose their vision forever. Scary stuff.
If any face product "worked like Botox" it would have insane cautionary labeling and warn against using your hands to apply it because your palm skin would go numb. You'd drop shit because you'd lose tactile sensation. 🤣
as a person with slavic background, who grew up and still eats a lot of garlic - I wish this would work haha Great video, I love how James is always so respectful whilst clearing up misinfomation ☺.
culturally i grew up eating cloves of raw garlic with meals (we chewed it because we're not cowards) and i'm telling y'all it doesn't do anything for skin otherwise 16 year old me would have had a very different experience in high school
The “shitty Nivea” comment was funny because I used to think Nivea was a fancier lotion when I was younger and then I actually tried it and was like oh, this is just goop that doesnt do crap for your skin lol
When I am going through a really stressful time, I tend to wake up in the morning with extremely deep frown lines. So those silicon pads can definitely be helpful at night if you have the same problem as me - thinking about buying one tbh
There are garlic-pills out there. We have them at out pharmacy and ”nature medicin”-stores and the only thing they claim to do is to help prevent bites from tics. If they could do all that too they would FOR SURE add that to their bottles 😂😂
@@JamesWelsh i had to do a quick google investigation on this and all claims from those companies I can find (here in Sweden they can’t put any claims they want on the bottles) is ”MAY improve your immunsystem” and ”IS effective against tics” so yeeeeeah… no shot it’ll help your skin in anyway espacially against something huge like acne! SMH such a wild claim wonder what she based that on 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂😂😂
@@JamesWelsh I had to fact check myself with a quick Google-search and Im proud to say that I for sure had some knowledge, enough to pick up her not having the knowledge. I looked into atleast a dussin companies that sells those pills here in Sweden (where they can’t put any claims on their bottles/swedish websites) and all I can find is: ”MAY help improve your immunsystem and help against cardiovascular problems” and ”ARE effective against tics”. so.. yeah.. the later seems to be the only evidensbased claim they can make and that some of the companies provide links to studies about. One site had a link to a study about garlic being rich in sulfur compounds - mainly the active substance allicin - that can strengthen the immune system and help with cardiovascular problems. But not even that study could say for sure how much garlic you would need to eat to make a diffrence at all. Non of the companies however make any of the claims she does, not even the ones that list every single vitamin, mineral and sulfur compound makes any parallell between any of them and the skin in any way 😂😂
I doubble checked this at our pharmacys (and on some of the swedish websites for the companies that sell these) - since it’s illegal to put any claims that isn’t scientifically proven (evidensbased) on the products here I can say this certainly: There is NO evidens for garlic helping against acne or even doing something for your skin at all. They are proven to help against tics and on some of the garlic pill they say ”MAY help improve your immunesystem” since there are some studies saying that - but no one had any super clear evidense to back this up so they just say ”may”. And ofc they mention every vitamines and the sulfur compounds that garlic contains and everything they may be good for. And garlic have absolutley got a LOT of them. For example sulfur is important to create collagene - wich is important for firm and beautiful skin! But in the amount you get in even the ”bigger” garlic pills, that contains about 4 cloves, - they can’t make any claims that it makes any diffrence for the skin! So her single garlic clove will do absolutley nothing (especially applied directly on the skin wich, as we all know, is a barrier ment to keep stuff out not to absorb anything we put on it)

I totally get people wanting Botox or using wrinkle cream to reduce wrinkles. To each their own. But I feel like consciously restricting yourself from making facial expressions robs you of a key aspect of human existence. We have such a short time on this rock, why limit ourselves that way?
Expressionless faces is so weird. I don't like it. Give me the wrinkles. If it's so bad it's making me depressed I'd actually rather have a face and or brow lift.
THIS
My sister was big on not showing too much facial expression cuz “it will give your wrinkles”. Chick you look bland if you want,,,,nobody is going to have to guess how I feel.
I don't make facial expressions because it is what I got taught to do it's a waste of time and energy to pull facial expressions I support the Wednesday look twenty four seven it's my thing I will stick to it
@@robingray8822I agree. I started going down the face care rabbit hole due to an on and off battle with acne.I had to promise myself to limit my targeting to dealing with the acne, having a correctly moisturized face, and limit attempts to deal with dark circles.

"My skin without foundation," either that's a full beat or you have very well graded sun damage on your forehead that looks like bronzer and your cheeks are a perfect bubblegum pink. She speaks of dark spots which are not evident anywhere but that under eye highlight is popping
to me, I hear dark spots and think acne scars. just cuz I have really bad scarring that is gonna take a lot of intense treating to fade. apparently to her, a dark spot seems to be slight discoloration from an angry pimple
So happy not everyone is falling for this bs!!! Lol
Without foundation doesn't mean 100% bare skin. I think here is the catch.
@@mitsubachi6865 But she wanted to pass it off as bare skin.
Fun fact: Back in the Portuguese dictatorship time, when the men were forced to be drafted and deployed to fight in the colonial war, the soldiers would shove garlic cloves up their arses and that would induce fever so they were temporarily excused to fight in the war fronts.

Garlic annihilates bacteria, it's not impossible that spot treating with garlic oil and taking garlic supplements could work as an antibiotic but it's so far from the best option and it's not by any means going to cure it. And eating the garlic clove whole is almost pointless. You actually could cause other problems by messing with your gut bacteria. Not to mention the smell lol. But I have treated an ear infection with diluted garlic oil (when I had no medical coverage 😅) and it works overnight. I used to get the most excruciatingly painful, miserable ear infections and it was worth having a smell ear the next day 😂

Recommending taking that much garlic could also be dangerous for some people. It does work as a blood thinner. If someone is already on a blood thinner or has a bleeding disorder it could cause problems. You can get garlic supplements, but not for the reasons stated in the TikTok.
I did not know this and I take blood thinner injections 😳 thank you for saying this!
@@theirmanager5204absolutely! There are many common spices and supplements that can thin the blood such as turmeric and vitamin E; even drinking too much camomile tea can do it! There must be lists on the internet- have a look. I had a few dangerous supplement routines too before I found out!
I hope you get a notification for this; youtube is being weird lately. 😕
There are lists on the internet- please check! Even camomile tea is a blood thinner.
The surgeons in my hospital advises patients undergoing surgery (except emergency cases) to stop consuming garlic supplements or several cloves of fresh garlic a day for at least a week. Excessive bleeding and hypotension can kill a patient on the table. Garlic is unavoidable as folk medicine in my workplace.

The whole makeup expiration thing makes me realize how much wastefulness there is in the beauty community. Like these influencers buy so much and are sent so much makeup only to use once for a 3 minute video, and it gets shoved into their huge collection of makeup. So wasteful
It‘s a huge waste! And even for normal consumers who buy a lot of eyeshadow palettes - you won‘t be able to use them up at all.
@@NoisyHill_ I save expired eyeshadow to use as pigment for resin! I've never gone through a full pan of any shadow, including the tones I scrape out for drag and cosplay
I got a KatVonD eye shadow palette years ago, and got eye infections both times I used it (I was ok, they thankfully were easy to treat). Sephora wouldn't refund me, and it took me a month of jumping through hoops with Sephora/KVD to get a refund. I poked around the 'net and found a few other people talking about infections from that palette as well as the one you held up, and I still wonder if they didn't have a quality control problem with certain colors and/or palettes made during a certain time frame.
Ewwww...so they were probably contaminated out the gate! 😳

But yea, don't use expired makeup. It's not just the formula that might break down with time, but bacteria can grow in it. It's a similar reason your brother is always getting on makeup artists not using hygienic practices when working on clients. Skin has tons of bacteria on it. It will grow in your make up if you touch something from your skin to the makeup. Lots of these bacteria are not harmful, but when they sit and grow and grow in your makeup, and then you put it on your eyes... You are taking a big risk!

@@JamesWelsh My guess is because
1. it's discontinued, so they can't buy another one
2. they haven't used it much so they have still have a lot of product left and find it a waste to throw it away
or 3. because it's expensive so they don't want to buy another one.
(I'll admit, I'm guilty of that. Especially with my mascara and brow gel for red hair and my foundation for fair skin with a pink undertone, it's expensive and the foundation shade is hard to find, so I'm gonna use every last bit of it)

I was told by my medical practitioner to soak garlic and onion in a jar of olive oil. Then use the olive oil in lieu of garlic and onion. It will taste of garlic and onion without upsetting your stomach.

not the girl saying she's not wearing foundation when she's very obviously got a full face of makeup on....
but seriously it's so concerning to see people from the ages of 13-25 saying they want to get rid of all their wrinkles likeeeee what wrinkles!!! you don't have wrinkles!!! you aren't even finished developing into your adult self!!!!!
I’m 30 and it’s only now I get a slight wrinkle between my brows from frowning. Trying not to and keeping my skin moisturised helps. Absolute joke that these teens/early 20’s are on about anti aging when they won’t get wrinkles for another decade.
Besides what people do to prevent/reverse aging looks waaay worse than actually aging. How many young people have we seen that have gotten botox and filler in their early 20’s now look older than some of us in our 30’s. Skincare routine for preventing aging in the 20’s is fine. Botox and filler do the opposite. Ages them so much
@@FleaÉire Same, I'm 28 and I got a vague line mid brows from frowning. I frown a lot, my family sometimes tell me to stop frowning, but it'a a habit and I guess I'll live with a permanent scowl when I'll be older. Other wrinkles? Not one. I don't really know why young influencers keep worrying about something they will start to have in 10 or 15 years.

@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEEN man no offense but i don't think you know what 'goth' means. goths can wear any type of makeup. and most people wear bronzer/blush/contour nowadays because heavy eyeshadow looks bad without heavy face makeup too. its all gotta be matching and cohesive.

I too have gotten pink eye from makeup. Halloween, 2016, London, gave all my flat mates the most fire Halloween looks with my teeny tiny Claire’s palette and pound land brushes. Do I regret it? Yes, my vision never fully recovered 🙃
Oh my days that's terrible! What's your eyesight like now?
I've always had issues with lush skin care. Love their bath stuff, and scrubs for exfoliation on the body, but I will never put anything on my face from them.
Not chewing or crushing the garlic and swallowing it whole won't activate the allicin. Thats why you're supposed to crush garlic 10 mins before you cook with it if you want the health benefits.
I mean it still won't help your acne, but you'll get the other health benefits.
The idea behind the silicon patches is not to stop you from moving your face but to trap moisture and hydrate the skin, which would (temporarily) smooth wrinkles. 😊
It’s both!
It's both. If you read the descriptions on the various sites that sell them, they are meant to keep you skin immobile and the moisture trapped under the patch makes it look like it smooths wrinkles. I know this because one of the reasons I never tried these is that you can't have anything under the patch, otherwise it doesn't stick enough to stop you face from moving, and obviously you can't use it if you have oily skin for the same reason.
If you're like me and CRINGE at the idea of yeeting a $50+ palette in the trash, check if any of your friends or family is the artsy type. Some of the eyeshadow pigments can be repurposed into paint, nail art, resin, and more!
I've heard spraying it with isopropyl may help but I'm not sure if the palette can handle it :(
I got a UV disinfecting box for my makeup
@@bisexualantigone I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure spraying pallets with isopropyl alcohol is a fairly standard practice in the industry for sanitizing between clients so it shouldn't hurt the pallet. I would definitely start with a light mist first just in case.
PSA: if it is a wet substrate, mascara, cream eyeshadow, etc., and you did not use a clean brush or finger every time, you should ditch it if, it’s been past a year, past the expiration, or it smells or feels funky, aside from mascara which should be no more than 3 months. Dry stuff is a bit more difficult to say, since moisture, and the oils in creams, are usually the problem. Usually that will keep for awhile, as in almost indefinitely, but eventually the texture will go off and it definitely shouldn’t be used around the eyes if you are sensitive. You should also wipe off the surface with a paper towel to remove anything on the surface if it has been awhile.
14:07 i was legit going to say i’m sure she was using other products to help lighten her skin in conjunction with the mask and THAT’S what got rid of her dark spots & hyperpigmentation. NOT the mask lol
Okay, I needed to see this. Going through my makeup drawer with a trash bag
Usable for 7 days...but how many people do sheet masks everyday? After I use one I have to give my skin at least a one week break or else I'll break out badly.
So it might be usable for 7 days, but at the end you might use it like one or two times.
* it would make much more sense if it's usable 7 times, but not 7 days.
If I hear about flax seed one more time........
How do you feel about chia seeds 😊
All I know is, it'll keep you regular...
I still remember when I read it was good for damaged hair, so I kept making this horrid flax seed slime to throw on my hair like a mask and it didn't do shit, beside taking an eternity to wash off.

I worked at a beach for three months last summer, and I used a SPF 50 sunscreen (which has sadly been discontinued) and set and mattified it with a sunscreen powder, because why not, then I would reapply both on my lunch break. I also wore a sunhat (not sure what the UPF was of the hat since I didn't have a choice of hat), but that combo worked so well at preventing sun damage. I think my point is that if I'm using a suncreen powder, I'd only use it over a suncreen that I know has at least 50 SPF anyway and it doesn't hurt to set it with a SPF powder. I'm certainly not going to rely on the powder alone - just a potential little bonus.
The thing with garlic though is it in a couple of studies it did show some benefit to the skin in terms of things like antioxidant benefits, wound healing, treatment of fungal infections, and so on. Now if any of these 'I can't believe it's not botox' 'nature knows best' type skincare influences had bothered to so much as glance at these studies they would see that they were studying the active ingredients in garlic and not just swallowing whole garlic cloves or rubbing raw garlic over people's skin.
Pseudomonas is one of the most terrifying infections you can have. I just had to have skin grafts knee to ankle on both shins because of pseudomonas, coupled with a year of harsh, heavy duty IV antibiotic infusions through a PICC line and it has developed a resistance to the medications twice.
Also, calling something "natural Botox" is hilarious because Botox itself is the definition of natural 😅

Raw garlic and raw white onions are actually very good for bacteria removal in the body but you do in fact have to squash and bust open the garlic clove to get the benefits. And not recommended to do too much because your gut can’t handle an abundance of it. And I have never heard of it helping with acne.
it does not remove bacteria, it help the proliferation of the good gut bacteria therefore you hopefully get more good bacteria and less of the ones that feed on refine carb and sugar. I would really incorporate garlic in the diet, like slice it with french beans or crush it with vinaigrette on tomatoes. I am really unsure of swallowing the whole thing as I believe it is the soft part in the inside who does the magic
They do not “remove bacteria from the body”. The idea that onion and garlic can “remove “ germs from the air or from the body once consumed came from the miasma theory of illness: that bad smells carried and caused illness. The onion and garlic smelled stronger than the ‘bad miasma’ air, so therefore it must be keeping you from getting sick.We now know that germs, bacteria and fungi cause illness.
There is no scientific evidence that consuming onion or garlic will remove bacteria from your body. I don’t know how that would even work.
Interestingly, there are compounds in onion, garlic, wine, and cows bile left in a copper vessel for 9 days as prescribed by an ancient medieval book called Bald’s Leechbook, that can have topical antibacterial properties. But it has not been proven to kill bacteria once ingested. It has been shown to work topically against MRSA pretty well, though, which is actually extremely exciting.
The thing about bacteria is that they are always evolving and changing to outsmart the antibacterials we use. If onion and garlic could remove bacteria from our bodies, I guarantee you I would never be sick from bacteria, considering how much of both I eat. Unfortunately, I’m sick as we speak and no amount of onion or garlic can help that.
Well in my country people eat raw garlic and onion with salt, especially the green onion and young garlic. They eat them with their meal, not alone. They smell a lot afterwards, but they say it's good for the body 😂
No you have to cut the garlic and leave it for 15 minutes so the same chemical that's in antibiotics is released. The same chemical is in amoxycillin antibiotics so yes technically I'm sure it can remove bacteria
Your gut will break the garlic down anyway so wouldnt matter if you squashed it or had it whole
Eeewwwww.

Holy crap I am definitely going through my stash. It’s all gonna go tomorrow.

I love watching your videos because you’re obviously someone who values critical thinking with a lot of respect for evidence and reason and holy shit is it so refreshing, especially in the beauty world.
the face mask looks like a raw chicken cutlet 😭😭
Old eyeshadow can, & should always be sanitized every couple of months, w/ a fine spray of alcohol, AND (@ least I practice), washing my brushes/sanitize brushes/sponges every week, or sometimes more frequently.
When it comes to anything moist/liquid-makeup & skincare expiration dates should definitely adhere to‼️ 🌟
I do it too, (a travel bottle of alcohol), & clean my brushes every few days! I think it has helped my skin stay nice; I’m probably A LOT older than you; but I think overall I look decent. I’ll shell out $$$$ occasionally, but I definitely recycle drugstore mascara -I just mark purchase dates on tunes w/ a Sharpie. Sounds as if I hv a compulsive issue-I do not, but facial skin is very thin. Appreciate yr comment. 👍🏽🌺
If the "Garlic Hack" were true, people in Gilroy, CA would have the clearest skin this side of the Rockies 😂
Ah, Gilroy. Oh, to be smelling garlic while driving through there again... 😂
Exactly. If garlic did help with acne then it would have to be applied topically on the skin. It's the same with vitamin C. When you ingest it, it will not have anywhere near as strong of an effect because your kidneys will excrete most of it (you'll pee it out) or your gut will absorb most of the nutrients in the case of garlic, and the actual amount of vit C/garlic nutrients going into your skin from underneath will be very small. When you apply it ON the skin that doesn't have such excretion mechanisms, you'll end up getting higher concentration going into your skin.
I think you’re forgetting that the digestive system breaks compounds down into smaller bioavailable forms, that once absorbed into the bloodstream can travel to the skin. The issue isn’t with it just getting rid of compounds digested, it’s that they’re not necessarily going to be used how you hope they will. The body has different priorities. The way I view it is that taking things orally supplies your body with the ingredients and the stuff you apply topically supplies the recipe for what you want to happen with the ingredients. Not that one or the other is better in general, but that they serve different purposes and work together.
The body needs vitamin C to make collagen, for example, but there are problems with vitamin C being absorbed topically. That’s not to say none gets in, but it oxidising before it can and the skin’s pH sort of repelling vitamin C can interfere with it. Different forms of vitamin C are being formulated to try and get around this, but it’s debatable how well it gets converted once through the skin barrier. And even then, then what? Vitamin C isn’t the only co-factor involved in collagen production. You still need the other ingredients. Do you intend to apply all of them topically? Does it not make more sense to ensure sufficient oral intake, so you know for sure they’re available to the body to use, then apply something else a bit more reliable topically to send the body the recipe for what it should do with the ingredients, such as a retinoid or an AHA?
This video reminded me that I need to go through my makeup bag, so thank you for that lol! I learned this lesson growing up when my mom would let me borrow her makeup for church and school performances... my mom still has things she would not let me get rid of, but I remember when I first started at around age 13 with trying on that stuff for special occasions. I didn't know that eyeshadow wasn't supposed to burn like crazy when you put it on. I have super sensitive skin so thought it was just the formula. Then I got pinkeye from what I would guess was a brown eyeliner pencil from when my mom was in high school. She has Mary Kay I remember her buying from her friend in 2003. I might have to send her this
I feel so bad for the First Lady.❤❤❤
Hey James! On the topic of expired make up, when do you think is the right time to throw out an eyeshadow palette? I think the expiration date for most of them is a year, but I know myself and many others never goes through the whole pallet or even to the bottom of the pan with certain colors by a year.
I do disagree with sunscreen in everything. I'm allergic to chemical sunscreen, and it's getting really hard to shop for skincare and makeup that doesn't have spf in it.
Fellow sufferer!!! Absolutely 10000000 percent agree!!!!!!

I love garlic... but swallowing a clove of it? 😭
I feel like it would eat a hole in my stomach!
I just got frownies patches and theyre similar to the silicone thing the chick was wearing on her forehead. So far I like them! Hope to see a review of products like those from u soon
i guess we know where hannibal lecter shops for skincare 😬
You wear somebody’s face ONE TIME to escape custody and people just don’t let you forget it 🙄
i personally don't like anti aging stuff at all- or the culture around how "aging is bad". Being old used to be a thing of pride and came with honor and respect, showing that you survived through things and were strong! scars and wrinkles are beautiful and fascinating, they show you've lived a long life full of emotion and diverse experiences. you should be able to tell when someone has lived a happy life by their laugh lines and crows feet, or tell if someone has lived a hard life by their frown lines and forehead wrinkles.
Getting rid of all our life marks is like erasing all the words out of a book. There's nothing interesting or inspiring about it, its just blank. Empty.
At least, that's what I think.
I was so scared by the thumbnail images😅
🥲😅😅
That lady swallowing garlic 100% had the worst body odour. And even swallowed whole, that garlic immediately starts to break down in her stomach, and she will burp and stink, or, alternatively, fart pretty rank lol.
Not me refusing to throw out the OG Naked palette from Urban Decay..... 😭😭😭
The way you pronounced those bacteria names made my day. Lol. Reminds me when I was learning them back in medical school - my friends and I would spend hours trying to figure out how to pronounce these names. 😂 good memories.
Also, the kind of eye infection she has, if it had progressed to preseptal cellulitis, can literally make people lose their vision forever. Scary stuff.
My eyes & face HURT for the first gal owie!😭😭
That "perfection doesn't exist" is particularly violent today xD love it
I am perfect I meet my own expectations of perfect easily everyone's expectations of perfection is different
Sure girl happy for you hope you understood my comment was aimed at the tone of the sentence
If any face product "worked like Botox" it would have insane cautionary labeling and warn against using your hands to apply it because your palm skin would go numb. You'd drop shit because you'd lose tactile sensation. 🤣
as a person with slavic background, who grew up and still eats a lot of garlic - I wish this would work haha
Great video, I love how James is always so respectful whilst clearing up misinfomation ☺.
culturally i grew up eating cloves of raw garlic with meals (we chewed it because we're not cowards) and i'm telling y'all it doesn't do anything for skin otherwise 16 year old me would have had a very different experience in high school
I tend to keep makeup longer than a year. Im terrified now. Also you trying to pronounce the names was so funny.
As someone who is allergic to garlic and flaxseed….. I’m out!
I would LOVE James to do a reading from a microbial paper, his little grin with it has me chuckling 😂
The “shitty Nivea” comment was funny because I used to think Nivea was a fancier lotion when I was younger and then I actually tried it and was like oh, this is just goop that doesnt do crap for your skin lol
It works for me whenever I use just because it doesn't work for you does not mean it won't work for someone else or did you forget that one 🙄🥴
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEENNope, was simply agreeing with James and his OPINION.
@@BOUJEEBOGANBADBITCHQUEENexactly. I like Nivea ❤
When I am going through a really stressful time, I tend to wake up in the morning with extremely deep frown lines. So those silicon pads can definitely be helpful at night if you have the same problem as me - thinking about buying one tbh
2:20: So cute how he pronounce the bacteria 🥺🥺😍😍
Those viscous facemasks had me rolling. They look so goofy, and I can’t imagine how heavy they are.
what products are good for reapplying spf over makeup? I haven't been able to find a good product.
I feel the IBS. Getting diagnosed literally saved me I was in so much pain before. Not to mention that my skin is doing much better now lol
There are garlic-pills out there.
We have them at out pharmacy and ”nature medicin”-stores and the only thing they claim to do is to help prevent bites from tics.
If they could do all that too they would FOR SURE add that to their bottles 😂😂
lol exactly 😭😭
@@JamesWelsh i had to do a quick google investigation on this and all claims from those companies I can find (here in Sweden they can’t put any claims they want on the bottles) is ”MAY improve your immunsystem” and ”IS effective against tics” so yeeeeeah… no shot it’ll help your skin in anyway espacially against something huge like acne!
SMH such a wild claim wonder what she based that on 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️😂😂😂
@@JamesWelsh I had to fact check myself with a quick Google-search and Im proud to say that I for sure had some knowledge, enough to pick up her not having the knowledge.
I looked into atleast a dussin companies that sells those pills here in Sweden (where they can’t put any claims on their bottles/swedish websites) and all I can find is:
”MAY help improve your immunsystem and help against cardiovascular problems” and ”ARE effective against tics”.
so.. yeah.. the later seems to be the only evidensbased claim they can make and that some of the companies provide links to studies about.
One site had a link to a study about garlic being rich in sulfur compounds - mainly the active substance allicin - that can strengthen the immune system and help with cardiovascular problems. But not even that study could say for sure how much garlic you would need to eat to make a diffrence at all.
Non of the companies however make any of the claims she does, not even the ones that list every single vitamin, mineral and sulfur compound makes any parallell between any of them and the skin in any way 😂😂
I doubble checked this at our pharmacys (and on some of the swedish websites for the companies that sell these) - since it’s illegal to put any claims that isn’t scientifically proven (evidensbased) on the products here I can say this certainly:
There is NO evidens for garlic helping against acne or even doing something for your skin at all.
They are proven to help against tics and on some of the garlic pill they say ”MAY help improve your immunesystem” since there are some studies saying that - but no one had any super clear evidense to back this up so they just say ”may”.
And ofc they mention every vitamines and the sulfur compounds that garlic contains and everything they may be good for. And garlic have absolutley got a LOT of them.
For example sulfur is important to create collagene - wich is important for firm and beautiful skin! But in the amount you get in even the ”bigger” garlic pills, that contains about 4 cloves, - they can’t make any claims that it makes any diffrence for the skin!
So her single garlic clove will do absolutley nothing (especially applied directly on the skin wich, as we all know, is a barrier ment to keep stuff out not to absorb anything we put on it)
Have you ever done a what's in your bag video? What do you take to London for the day for hydration, cleansing, spf, if anything?
My mom does the garlic thing! Albeit it's for other reasons, but she does have beautiful skin 🤷🏿♀️ so who knows
