I worked for a dermatologist earlier this year who told his patients with acne to stop moisturizing their skin. He said this would "dry out their skin as much as possible to clear their acne." I was floored lol. Not all dermatologists know what they are talking about.
Jesus Christ!! He said what?? Pls tell me you helped that patient realized he got it wrong 🤦, men I feel bad for that patient, RUclips now seem better than most dermatologist offices, lol
I think the derm meant that for patients with excess sebum production it’s important the sebum gets controlled so it’s advisable to consume acne meds as prescribed without other interruptions unless the derm encourages the patient to moisturise too especially if the patient got bad side effects such as cracked bleeding lips otherwise it’s still fine
My first Derm told me the same thing, I suffered with horrible acne and angry, irritated destroyed skin for years. My second put me on Accutane and completely changed my skin- BUT- misdiagnosed a melanoma and told me it was nothing. I wasn’t happy with the way she handled my scalp psoriasis, so I went to a third Derm, who immediately diagnosed and removed my cancer, then had to go in again since it had spread. He also showed me how much my skin needed moisture, and got rid of my psoriasis and is a great doctor. I have a family history of melanoma, my great uncle died from it, and saying “Nah! It’s nothing you’re only thirty!” Is beyond unacceptable, and they’re everywhere. If your gut tell you your Derm or Aesthetician is an idiot, believe it. My first Aesthetician told me to exfoliate daily with baking soda, OMG.😂 I decided to study skin myself and find my own bloody answers, and at 43 I’m happier with my skin now than in my 20’s.
YUP! I believe it. Just because they're a derm doesn't mean they're the end all be all. Or that they just automatically know what they're talking about
The sunscreen lady really pissed me off! I feel like anyone who even vaguely knew of the suntan craze in the 70s could understand how sunscreen was not the culprit. Correlation does not equal causation. If sunscreen was what caused the huge spike in skin cancer, then our numbers would have continued to spike through out the 80s and 90s!
Oxybenzone does however cause coral reef bleaching, as the coral converts it into toxins. It can also kill off green algae and that's not good as most of the earth's oxygen comes from algae in the ocean. So, wrong rationale but still important to avoid these chemical sunscreens when at the beach if plan on getting in the water.
OMG I am a pastey white girl and can't tan and when I was a teen in the late 90s I had so many people ask me why I don't tan. Some of can't and some of us have grandmothers that died of metastasized melanoma. I'm still pastey and won't go out without spf and a hat to sometimes with sunglasses.
The fact that she went to any kind of medical type school and is still getting correlation and causation confused has me extremely worried for anyone who is a client of hers and whoever else graduated from whatever shite institution she went to 😳
ABSOLUTELY. You know what else happened in the 1970s? The Beatles broke up, you could even say because the Beatles broke up too many people were distraught to stay in and hence skin cancer went up. And that entire argument is just as valid as what she was spouting.
"Generally alcohol isn't great for your skin" GIRL. A lot of alcohols in products are literally there to help the ingredients penetrate the skin, and there are moisturizing alcohols and alcohols that are good for your skin. Whenever people demonize alcohols, it's a big red flag for me. I'm literally allergic to certain alcohols(very severely. I almost died during a surgery because of how badly my body freaked out to the sterilization alcohol they used, because im also allergic to povidone-iodine) , and I don't even demonize it like these people🤯
Once I was injected with iodine for a CT scan. I had so much pain in my arm that I thought it was torn off. When I explained it to the doctors, they thought I was exaggerating. But I had so much pain, I never thought of an allergy. But I think it's possible after reading your comment.
@@blaah9999 Thank you for your answer. I know that when the iodine arrives in the "drip" I was told that I was going to have a hot flash, and that I would have to pee. I had all that, it's not much, on the other hand the pain in the arm, it was excruciating.
Ugh…the lady saying the reason for the uptick in skin cancer cases from the 70’s is sunscreen is infuriating. Like…ma’am…the reason is because people used to slather themselves in oil and sit in the sun for fucking hours multiple times a week!! My mother said growing up they’d use tanning oil and be out all day and she’d be brown like a rotisserie chicken. Like come on.
This woman does look brown like rotisserie chicken to be fair I would have said ''it's her problem'' if I know by fact that no one will listen to her. I personally always use SPF +50 minimun given that my mother had melanoma I have higher probability to develope one and even had to make a biopsy in one case (thankfully it was nothing), we both also have regular checks with the dermatologist (they basically register/scan every single birth mark one has to compare it to future results, I forgot the name of the procedure) . Some people believe the entire thing is an exaggeration or paranoia and like to roast at the sun all day, while my mother didn't (we have a very fair skin and ''burn'' easily) yet she still developed it, probably because while she used sunscreen before the incident she didn't use it in her daily life often enough, in her case it was detected just on time, in my eyes, by almost a miracle because she went to see a doctor because of a back pain, he saw it and directed her to a dermatologist immediately. It's quite scary to think about it, because if he didn't notice it or passed it as a birthmark I would not have my mother now, it's not even a ''maybe'' it's a fact. Not all doctors are so attentive and more if it's not their specialty, in my mother's case it was just sheer luck she had that back pain. So whoever reads this please don't listen this ''umpa lumpa'' lady who doesn't deserve to wear a white coat, use sun protection and watch your birthmarks, if in your back ask a familiar to check it. Apologies for my English, it's not my native language.
As a licensed esthetician, and someone who worked in pharmaceuticals for twelve years, estheticians like the first girl really crack me up. I just checked, and there are no pore clogging ingredients in the Glow Recipe Watermelon Moisturizer. It’s actually a nice formulation looking at the ingredients.
@@goodiegoodygumdrops maybe, but probably not. Everyone definitely reacts differently, but there’s typically an internal issue to go along with it. From an acne perspective, it will not break you out. I specialize in acne. 👍 A lot of times it’s just because people don’t understand how their skin works. You can definitely be sensitive to ingredients, but that’s a different reaction.
@@jmszoom Meh. "Maybe" is still yes though. (Had past experiences with derms telling me something "shouldn't be" breaking me out. Which is irritating. XD)
@@jmszoom What's so irritating is that she says there are a lot of fungal acne triggers, but does not say what ingredients she's talking about. So you can't verify her statements. But it's just her "educated" opinion from "researching it for a couple minutes." 🙄
Lost my mother's brother, my uncle to skin cancer as well. Now, my mother, class of 1980, has a huge spot on her bsck she will be having biopsied thus week. She used to put on baby oil and lay out, up until I was 20 in about 2008. We are fair/light jn our family and I've only ever been tan 1 year in my life, after a really bad burn at 13, never again. I hide from the sun like it's mustard gas. The reason they saw such a huge rise of skin cancer in the 1970s was the sun bathing of the 1950s and the bikini becoming mainstream, imo and my dermatologist as a teen (hr was about 80 in the early 2000s.).
Lost my grandfather to melanoma. In new Zealand we only just this week had legal standards set for sunscreen, in a country with the highest rate of skin cancer this has been a very long time coming.
The fact that the first person didn’t even think to scroll down further to see the full ingredient list kind of did it for me. No hate to her as an individual but it makes me think that her “research” isn’t very thorough. I don’t find that trustworthy. Some websites seem to bury the ingredient lists for their products (which is annoying) but on most of them I find that you just have to poke around for a few seconds and you’ll be able to find it.
She said herself she research for like a minute, seriously who gives a review to the public after minutes of research?? Did she's get an A in school project doing research like this??
12:12 he is not a dermatologist but a plastic surgeon; his name is Dr. Ricky Brown. And you are absolutely right that he didn't make this video, some people create fake TikTok videos like this one of various doctors to promote counterfeit products.
I love Cetaphil, it's one of the few brands that doesn't horribly offend my skin lol. I especially like the moisturizing cream for dry to very dry skin, it does wonders for my skin during winter and you get so much product for such a compatible cheap price.
Dermatologists had to take organic chemistry courses for pre-med studies, so they should know fatty alcohols are totally different from the bad alcohols
I really love the way your content is evolving. Yes, you may be a normal person and not a chemistry phd or a dermatologist, but... so are we lol. While most of the skincare people I follow fall into one of those two categories, I still find a lot of value in you and your content. You listen to the experts, admit when you're out of your depth, and provide us with entertaining content from a perspective that is still valuable to us as consumers. Regular product reviews combined with an analytical discussion of internet culture and your expertise in photo editing makes for a unique channel. Not to mention your personality. Definitely a bit of a parasocial relationship going on here lmaoo
he's great because he doesn't fear monger, and he's very sensible about explaining the science. and he's also willing to admit when he doesn't know or understand something.
I was 9 (1983) when my grandmother gave me some of the best advice I've ever gotten. She told me to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen daily. She had been a "sun worshiper" in the 60's & 70's, and it wrecked her skin. She was extremely wrinkled in her 50's and looked decades older than she was. I'm very fair and and I wanted to be tan like my friends, but I listened to her and today I look about 10 years younger than I am. Now I'm passing that advice along.
Oh I wish my mom had been like this, or anyone close to me, really! In my country people look at you like you have three heads if you're not tanned (in general but specially) during summer. Everyone, specially girls, go to the beach mostly to get tan and not much else. I'm someone with REALLY fair skin and I get these comments a lot. That I look like I'm sick, or similar stuff, and everyone thinks I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist when I tell them how bad the sun and tans are for your skin and that that's why I don't do it. Even my own mom, who has sun spots and knows people who have died from skin cancer, still gets extremely upset because she can't tan as much as others because she's also very fair, and proceeds to spend hours outside tanning. She says it's okay because she wears sunscreen, but if you're getting a tan then that means that sunscreen isn't doing anything for you.
See my great grandma would cover me in sunscreen even if we were just getting the mail. I also burn easily so sunscreen is my friend. I just don't like people thinking I look 16 as I'd like to be put out of highschool
@@semoremo9548 you got those comments too! I’m so white I look blue in certain lights. I’ve always hated it and been mocked for it. I’m now 41 next month, and my tanned contemporaries look way older than I do (I don’t tell them this tho cos I’m not as mean as they were) So the being mocked thing is irrelevant now. You will get the last laugh in the end ❤️
@@littlemy1773 Pale is beautiful! I've always wanted to be pale, pale, pale. I'm light-skinned but when I see people white as snow I'm benevolently jealous 😊.
@@BarbaraT. isn’t it funny how we always want what other people have? My grandma was of Romany descent and she tanned beautifully, my mum and brother are the same. My dad is Scottish/ Norwegian in heritage and has passed his epically white skin to me. I was mocked by School friends, and others for my paleness. I’ve been asked if I’m sick, or anaemic and people love to put their tanned arms next to mine and be like can’t believe how white you are. Like I’m a freak or sth 🤣
As a person who grew up in Australia, where our schools and governments ran campaigns and training programs every year to raise awareness about not only the importance of using sunscreen, but also the things you can do to make it work better (10/10 recommend looking up ‘slip, slop, slap, seek, slide’), the spreading of sun protection misinformation INFURIATES me Like dudes, wear sunscreen. It saves lives. We know this unquestionably, lol
I just looked it up too lol we need something like that in USA- sunscreen is becoming popular now but there’s still tanning oils all over the place and people lying in the sun during the summer! Especially where I’m from in the Midwest where it’s cold 9 months of the year!
Fellow aussie here. When I was growing up it was only slip slop slap, I had no idea they'd added seek and slide haha. I started wearing spf daily in my early 20s, mostly for vain reasons to avoid wrinkles haha - but now I live in the UK and god the difference is huge in terms of tanning culture, I was naive to think it was a thing of the 90s. People going to sunbeds and still using tanning oils makes me crazy, and so sad :(
I remember in primary school in the summer terms, if you didn't have your hat or put on sunscreen, you didn't get to play! Scared most of us with just that prospect.
Re: micellar water hack - whether or not you're changing the molecular structure of the solution - your introducing bacteria from your mouth to the pad and foam and then rubbing it on your skin. Might as well just collect your coughs and slather that on 🤣
that was my first thought when i saw that hack too lol. whenever youre blowing on anything, youre spreading bacteria from your spit. so dont blow on things if you want them to stay hygienic! 😂
....in the Kim K video she literally says when she has a really early call time, and she only has a few hours to sleep, then she will sleep in her makeup. She specified she only did it for specific reasons, that only happen occasionally. There's no way Kim has the skin she does by sleeping in her makeup for 8 hours a night.
@@paruramesh9269 I mean sure, but she also said in the interview she only sleeps in makeup if she only has a couple hours to sleep, meaning she doesn't do it any other time...
It always baffles me when people do extreme treatments to their genitals (like TANNING THEM, WTF) because the genitals are EXTREMELY sensitive to pretty much everything.
for real! i feel like it should be common sense not to tan/"beautify" parts of yourself that are in extremely close proximity to your internal organs 💀 mucus membranes are not something you wanna mess with bc they are so sensitive and often absorb things much more quickly than other types of membranes. there's a reason they say it's "where the sun don't shine" bc it's not supposed to shine down there 😭
Bum tanning? That has to be one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard in my life. Could you imagine going on a walk and seeing someone doing that in their yard?
You are so right about tanning in the 70s. I was a child watching adults slather all kinds of oil on their skin, using reflective aluminum panels to reflect and intensify the sunlight on themselves for a darker, quicker tan
I was literally allergic to fragrance in middle school and high school. The only fragrance that my body didn't hate, was the Hempz sweet melon and Pineapple moisturizer. I literally had to carry inhalers with me because I would have extreme asthma attacks whenever people were wearing lots of scent around me, especially because I grew up when Axe body spray was first out, and the guys sprayed about half a bottle every time they wore it. I'm now in my 30s, and am a huge perfume lover, and can now use all scents on my skin. Our bodies change. Allergies can always come and go, so saying you should never use something because you were allergic to something similar once, is just insane imo.
I had terrible asthma as a little kid, and went into an attack at least once WALKING NEAR a Bath and Bodyworks. Like, the door opened and I had an attack. Now, I no longer have asthma, and can use their lotions and perfumes. Things can change, even though I still have a hyperactive immune system.
@@kankan572 yeah, but also any time I had scent touch my skin, I'd get horrible hives. The hives came first, and lasted a while after the asthma stopped.
Yeah I avoid scented products because I’ve had severe allergic reactions. I’ve taken to just patch testing a product if I’m able to, if not then I’ll just seek out totally unscented to be safe.
Yeah, my mom told me about how she and her friends used to cover themselves in baby oil then just lay out in the sun and fry... That skin cancer rate was most definitely not caused by sunscreen since no one was wearing it then lol
As someone who was actually born in the 70s, I clearly remember that sunscreen wasn't actually much of a thing back then. The products that existed were much lower SPF than what we have now. Also, tanning oil was super popular. They had an SPF factor listed, usually 2 or 4😱 Anyhow, I think that had a lot more to do with higher instances of skin cancer rather than the presence of oxybenzone. Whoops, should have continued watching before I commented 😂
@@AngryCandy89 Yeah, even in the 90's you were using the lowest concentration you could get away with. Basically, sun protection was only for beach and being out in the sun the whole day, and it was only to prevent you from burning. Everybody wanted to get tanned, and SPF was used simply to avoid burns - not to avoid getting tanned.
Baby oil and aluminum foil. That's what my friends used for tanning in the 70s and 80s. They'd grease up with baby oil, then make screens out of aluminum doil covered cardboard to reflect the sun right on their faces. Suntan lotions back the focused on getting you as dark as possible, not on protecting your skin. Fortunately for me, I found out early on that I'm allergic to mineral oil (baby oil); I didn't need any help getting tan so no foil for me; and I hated laying out in the sun. Didn't like getting hot and I was bored out of my skull within 15 minutes and quit doing it before I was 16. (And only tried it a couple times each summer before that, figuring it'd be different this year. Nope. Not a tanner!)
My mom and grandma used real sunscreen then, but they had to drive hours out of their way to a particular health food store that sold the new and strange product back then. My mom hasn't had skin cancer problems now when most people her age have had at least a few skin cancer spots removed if not significantly worse problems, and my grandma looked in her 60's for thirty years after she'd passed that birthday. They still didn't use it everyday like we're advised to do nowadays though.
I can confirm that not all dermatologists know what they're talking about. A famous dermatologist in my country once discouraged a person to stop putting moisturizers and only using toners. Then after a few months, she stopped recommending toners and only use moisturizers.
Yes you can get skin cancer everywhere, even places that the sun has never seen. My Grandmother had it on her vulva and she wasn't going to nude beaches.
That "Dermatologist" is actually Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Ricky Brown. I can tell you now that he is NOT endorsing this product and this shady company have stolen his intellectual property. I have reported three accounts so far that have done this to him. Dr. Brown reached out to me to thank me for reporting the videos and is asking people to report these posts as his legal team are on the case... 😎✌🏼💜
When you talked about the tanning culture in the 70s-I used baby oil when I would lie out in the sun. So yeah, just frying my skin. I had an extremely bad sunburn when I was 16, and pretty much stay out of the sun now.
My mother just went through several painful, scary Moh's procedures to address basal cell carcinoma. She's doing very well, but any cancer is extremely frightening for the whole family. Several of the patches were on her scalp. I want to SCREAM from the rooftops! It doesn't matter what color you are, we are ALL vulnerable! PLEASE USE SUNSCREEN!!! Reapply often. Screw the naysayers. There are literally hundreds of varieties to choose from, so if you don't like one, try another. It has never been easier to access high quality sunscreens from all over the world - South Korea, Australia, Japan, Europe - go get some! Buy it, use it and reapply so you don't die. Also, wear a hat. My mother has always been very active, but she didn't bother with sunscreen. She's going to have to get checked regularly for the rest of her life, but it's worth it to stay safe. All of this was preventable. This has been an emotional public service announcement.
Not sure about their place in skincare, but surfactants serve only a placebo effect in toothpaste as the suds they create give people a tangible way to think about the paste spreading and "cleaning" their teeth but they don't actually physically contribute to the clean other than psychologically.
a dermatologist should know correlation is not the same thing as causation. anyone who has taken a basic science course should be aware of this concept
The tanning epidemic of the ‘70s honestly hasn’t ended in areas of Europe (judging from the last time I was there). All my cousins in Croatia would rub straight oil (like olive oil, not even tanning oil) on their skin to go tanning and thought using sunscreen would stop them from tanning so refused to use it!
the 70s and 80s were all about the suntanning. everyone laid out, no one wore sunscreen. you'd think a DERMATOLOGIST would know that?! especially one who is at least my age, early 40s by her looks. i have strong memories of my mom suntanning with no sunscreen my entire childhood. and kim sleeps on her back like that because of all the plastic surgery she's had - i know this, because i've had a breast reduction and i sleep exactly like that now.
She’s not a dermatologist- I looked it up her credentials and being a “doctor of chiropractor” she doesn’t disclose this and uses the title doctor to make people think she is a medical doctor
I think a little bit of tan is ok but I don’t understand when people spend a lot of money to have such skin color that they would have never had naturally. I mean, some white people with too much of tan look very strange. They skin looks like they’re POC but their face features aren’t. Kind of scary to me.
There are some fake tans I’ve seen that look really nice but in most circumstances they look patchy and the shade doesn’t always suit the person. people need to learn to except their current skin tone. It will save them lots of money and the possible risk of skin cancer and premature ageing from using sun beds.
@@snake_whirlpool they don’t look like POC, they end up looking orange most of the time because of the white mixed with brown in a abnormal way. Some take it to extremes (black fishing)
@@LilyMcdurmont I get it! But sometimes I see people choosing such dark colors of a fake tan that they look like they’re blackfishing. Even if it’s unintentional.
I hate when youtubers will ONLY judge products looking at the ingredients. I'm glad I'm not on TikTok, there's already so much nonsense on other platforms 🥴
True. If someone like Anthony Youn was good at plastic surgery, he wouldn't be desperately doing tiktok for views. His real or sus videos judging celebrities' faces and butts and breasts are disgusting.
My mother got skin cancer in the early 2000's. She got it from lying on a tanning bed 3/4 times a week in the 90's. My mother is super super pale and I went to a school where all the moms were tan and thin. She tanned and went to the gym a lot when I was younger. She says she also tanned a lot as a teen in the 70's but a tanning bed didn't help.
I try my best to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen. The sun is no friend to your skin but especially when you have fair skin like me. Two things happen when I am exposed to the sun. I freckle like crazy and burn. Sunscreen is a must. When I went to my 20 year high school reunion, I had so many of my female classmates asking me how I have kept my skin looking so youthful. That's one of the biggest tips I could offer. I avoid the sun and wear sunscreen when I have to be in it. Of course, when I told them, they started saying they just couldn't stay out of the sun like that. I mean, it's not like I'm a hermit. I do go out. I'm just mindful of how I'm exposed to one of the quickest ways of aging my skin.
Alcohol are used in cosmetic formulations because not all ingredients can be dissolved in water. Also, some extraction processes are only efficient using alcohol. It can act as a emulsifier and a carrier helping the delivery system. All depends in how much you use, what type of alcohol you use and etc Not a cosmetic formulator, but I do have some basic knowledge as a pharmacist
My dad is in his late 70s, and my partner and I were just talking yesterday about how he refuses to wear SPF, and he sun bathes almost daily. My mother has had skin cancer twice, and I convinced him to go get checked a couple years ago, but he came back clean which just made him think even more that he didn't need SPF. My dad is really dark skinned for a white person, he's even darker than I am, and im half Italian with olive skin, so I get dark too. I wish I could convince him to wear SPF, he just thinks only girls use SPF, and he always says "back in my day, everyone actually used tanning oil" he's one of those reeeeeal stubborn boomers🤣 If anyone has any ideas, I'm all for it. I'd hate for my dad to get skin cancer
my parents are in their 70s and there is no way to make them use SPF. and even if I get them to use it, maybe they'll use it for day or two than give up for the rest of the summer because the skin now "got used to the sun". I think almost all boomers are stubborn. :/
Maybe he would fall for one of those male-branded products like dude wipes 😂 my dad refused to use baby wipes but dude wipes “can handle” his “manly butt”. There must be some “manly” branded SPF he’d be willing to use.
All boomers are stubborn. It's just the culture of their younger years. Interested to see what millennials turn out to be like in our 70s. My dad, his identical twin, and their siblings a had very dark skin for being Eastern European. None of them used SPF or tanning oil. They didn't get skin cancer. I got the light skin of my mom's side and was had a benign melanoma growth when I was 12. On another note I feel climate change could totally play a role in skin cancer due to higher exposure to uv rays. 🤷🏼♀️
@Galaxy Life that's no use against the boomer logic: "I haven't used it so far and I'm fine, so why would I use it now". They aren't gonna listen to derms, especially if they are younger than them.
In the 1970's and 80's, girls were using baby oil to tan. THAT is why so many women my age have skin cancer. I never did because I would burn easily. My cousin would refer to me as "The White Goddess" behind my back. It used to drive her crazy when we were teens how people thought that I was older even though I was one year younger. Well, she finally got her wish. Now that we are in our 50's, she looks older than me.
Not to be ageist, but the first women sounds and looks very young and has me wondering if she is actually certified - can someone be certified that young? She looks 19 to me (of course, she may not be). Also, being younger she may not have a lot of experience yet. I know this is probably a controversial opinion because I’m basing off age, but even she didn’t sound confident in anything she was saying. The sunscreen one - I can only use oxybenzone sunscreens because zinc breaks me out SO BAD! I
yeah she definitely did not have a good idea of what she was speaking about considering she was blatantly wrong on multiple things, the biggest being that alcohols are not good for your skin lol. considering there are many different kinds of alcohols and not all of them are drying. She says there are lots of fungal acne triggers but dosen't actually say what any of them are. There's also no reason that this moisturizer would clog your pores, nothing in it is particularly comedogenic. Breaking out is an individual experience, you can break out from the use of a product tons of other people have no issues with if your skin just dosen't like one of the ingredients so you can't really tell someone that a product probably will or probably won't break them out, unless they're acne prone and in that case, some ingredients aren't the best.
To expand on your point about tanning in the late 60’s and ‘70’s, I bet the dramatic rise in skin cancer can also be linked with the exploding ubiquitousness of the bikini in that same period. More skin exposed, more risk and whatnot. Not that I plan to stop wearing them lol.
Like they say, Correlation does not equal causation.. just because they released a product in the 70's and a rise in skin cancer does not mean that's the reason for it.
I think people looking at the face value of ingredients just speaks to some people not being critical thinkers. Being able to stop, pause, and further educate yourself is important. PS I love Glow Recipe and I just ordered the Saturday Skin Yuzu Sleep Mask!!
I lived through the 1970s. We didn't use sunscreen. Baby oil was the most popular marinade for broiling skin. Thankfully, I get migraines from lying on the hot sun, and my mom warned me about sun exposure, so I didn't go whole hog like many of my friends.
Everyone has their own biases and beliefs, so even qualified professionals can get things wrong or be blinkered, we're all only human. I really appreciate your opinion and have always thought your content was educational, entertaining and thought provoking- especially your deep dive videos, like the when beauty goes bad series.
James (and everyone) I just watched a video from Lab Muffin Beauty where she talks about an unregulated chemical sunscreen that is being used widely in higher SPF physical sunscreens and it is wild! I actually own a few SPF 50 mineral sunscreens and the stuff is in all of them (including Supergoop). So worth a watch.
You're right about the 70s. In the 60s, 70s and part of the 80s I used baby oil and iodine mixture to tan with. I used to get a great dark tan. After a couple pre cancerous moles had to be removed, I no longer laid out in the sun and used a sunscreen.
Honestly, Kim K sleeping in her makeup doesn’t bother me that much either. Along with the reasons you stated, I don’t think it’s that bad because she’s sleeping in freshly applied makeup. The “cardinal sin” of sleeping in your makeup applies more to makeup you’ve been wearing all day that has accumulated dirt, grime, and sebum. Since makeup and skincare are mostly made of the same ingredients, wearing new makeup to bed every once in a while is not that bad.
Avoid sleeping in makeup at all costs. Unless you know you will sleep less than 3 hours. Or else, 1) your makeup is going to get on that pillow case, dirty it up immediately, and then youre going to roll over that again in the middle of the night with your face. Also a great way to get product stuck under your eye lids. And, if you're prone to sweating, youre going to have sweat, oil, dirt, + makeup in your pores from sleeping with multiple hours of oil on your face and youre going to carry that on your face for who knows how many hours after waking up. BAD idea ladies and gents, don't do it "every once in a while" just never do it lol. theres no point
The sunscreen lady made me laugh so hard saying a type of sunscreen in the 1970’s caused skin cancer. I was born in 1952 and until the 1980’s did anyone wear sunscreen! We really didn’t have sunscreen to speak of. The lady has no idea how we killed our skin for decades 😂
I love all your videos but this one just hit home. I’m a pharmacist who has to deal with misinformation from doctors and general public all the time. There are obviously the amazing and the bad in all professions but You won’t believe the number of specialists who talk without an ounce of research.
When I learned about the different types of alcohols in skincare about 2 years ago, it widened the amount of products that I use and work so well on my skin. I used to avoid ANYTHING with “alcohol”
LOVED this video!:) Can you please address the whole "your digestive system affects your skin/the skin & gut are interconnected" argument in one of your future vids?
Please do a deep dive on Dr Daniel Aronov, Dr Ryan Wells, and Dr Daniel Lanzer for your When Beauty Turns Ugly series. They're cosmetic surgeons who got suspended for a multitude of reasons. I just watched an episode of 60 Minutes Australia about them the other day and was shocked by how unprofessional they were. One of them (Dr Aronov) was famous on Tiktok and they made him delete all of his content.
@@sophiewhittaker730 You should watch the 60 Minutes Australia from like a month ago (there's 2 on cosmetic surgery but it's the more recent one). It's insane!
60's and 70's were definitely where people went out tanning significantly much more. Like sitting outside and cooking in the sun 🥴 and then of course we have to ozone layer having a hole in it! Which lead to more sun radiation in the beams penetrating through the atmosphere. Thakk goodness James mentions this
Am I the only one who finds it odd when a practicing doctor post Tiktoks from their office? Idk if that lady was a doctor but it's still weird to me. I just can't imagine any of my doctors doing that. They're focused on their patients...not becoming Tiktok famous.
On the micellar water one too; I really don't feel like rubbing a cotton round over my face that's now covered in spit particles because I just blew into it.
The perineum tanning recently became more wildly known because of Tucker Carlson. I'm sorry but I don't look at Tucker Carlson and think, "That's a guy I want to get skincare advice from." It's not necessary and just the idea of getting skin cancer in that general region is just too much for me.
I only use those websites that break down ingredient lists when I'm checking what the product contains because they help me sort the ingredients by groups, e.g. SPF filters, humectants, etc. it makes it easier for me to understand what it contains and compare it to another product. However, I never base my decision to buy on their recommendation because according to them, the only thing that isn't bad for oily/problematic/sensitive skin is pure water, lol
It's like how micellar water won't work if you don't put it on cotton; lab muffin did a great explanation of how dirt is just different lipids and the lipophilic ends of the micellar water, whilst the phobic ends attached to the cotton, attract/ pick up on the dirt and clean your face.
I think the misconception with silicone is because it's not great in hair shampoo if you want to colour your hair. It can leave a residue in the hair cuticle which prevents certain colours from penetrating the cortex and working. Thank you for the awesome videos!
As someone with a UV allergy because of an autoimmune disease, sunscreen disinformation is my biggest pet peeve. I hear it constantly because I practically bathe in sunscreen.
When I first got into skin care I followed this misinformation (ingredient websites and people who give advice based on them). I missed out on so many great products that have since made an extremely positive impact on my skin. You’re approach has really changed my skin, so thank you!!
I'm a Gen X'er who grew up in the 1970's with sun worshippers. My neighbor girls would coat themselves in Crisco and sit up on their roofs for hours on end. I never used sunscreen during those days, but I also never went to those extremes.
This is why I don’t like to use tiktok for informational videos. There’s too vague of an explanation and the important research is missed. So glad to have you on youtube to stress how misleading “medical terminology” is on the internet
The whole thing about oxybenzone use cause an increase in skin cancer is a clear example of correlation does not equal causation. We are also getting better at diagnosing cancers earlier so you do expect to be higher than 1950s
Just found you! love your work and even got my kids to watch your show informative thank you I just wanted to make a note around 13 minutes maybe 20 seconds you mention about “ cheap” brands doing this scamming - it might be good to point out that “ expensive” brands do alot of trickery in labels as well ,as well as not the greatest transparency (but actually are getting better because of the Customers being more informed and demanding to know what is in stuff and demanding for that transparency ) 🎉but yeah just a little note there -you know It seems like a blanket statement because there are a lot of “cheaper” Companies that just are trying to get their packaging right then they’re trying to figure out what’s right for their formula, what the beauty community wants, and you know I wanna give them a little bit of credit -because not all companies just because they’re “cheap”, … are bad companies , or less well known companies ,( companies that can’t afford to advertise all over the world or might -I note- cover up anything or take people you know and cover up their lawsuits and just pay off the people that may be got injured from their skin Care line … so that’s good to point out that maybe the cheaper companies don’t have the money and time to spend in court because they’re trying to sell their product so yeah not to say that any companies are doing anything shadya little guys are trying to make it too you know and so yeah anyway- just a thought … cheers!
Saw this when James posted it last month... just happened to spot the thumbnail just now as I was scrolling and it gave me a good teehee. Welsh brothers are the most hilarious 😁🥰
I feel like the most important thing I took away from this video was that I might try dry cleansing tonight 😂 I knew everything else was dumb, but I has no idea this was smart.
As a former esthetician, the important thing to keep in mind is that (like doctors, including dermatologists) not everyone is educated the same way. The most basic U.S. state program that qualifies you as an "esthetician" just teaches you the sanitation portion and basic techniques for massaging product into the face. They are expecting you to go on and work for a spa that will teach you how to use the product line, or possibly intern with a dermatologist that will train you into a medical esthetician. Then there are schools dedicated to training estheticians who get exposure to several machines, product lines, techniques, and even train on alternative methodologies and practices like ayurvedic skin care. Both of these schools produce the same class of esthetician with no distinction in your license. The difference is your employment opportunity directly after school, as most reputable spas that use machines for procedures will research your credentials in addition to certifying you on the specific machine(s) you will use. However, when it comes to advice, consumers have no way to see your schooling or experience, so make sure not to work in absolutes - most skin therapy is about trial and error - testing to see what works for the individual, then developing a therapy around that.
The dermatologist fake ad, ugh that one got me. just like the MLMs taking my before and after photos (even had my own sent to me by a hun showing her girl "Ashley's results" hahaha so annoying...) my before and after photos are from gastric bypass, tummy tuck and a boob job..followed by years of being chronically malnourished and now disabled on 28pills a day to stay alive (surgery at 17yrs old, 33 now).. not your skinny coffee or "fuelings" karen.
Glow recipe watermelon line is a lifesaver for my congested mature skin. Other products are not that effective for me. Edit: also that alum block clip is harmful. I have made some bad choices in life,few very bad choices and then I used alum block. My skin is so oily that I can use almost any exfoliating acid without much harm but alum block cracked my skin, gave me rash. Not worth it.
My dad came to visit and managed to watch the clip about perineal tanning. He didn't even hear the bit about it being bs. I'm scared to look in the backyard, my dad might be out there naked trying to figure out how to get his feet over his head. I'm torn between gouging my eyes out with a spoon, or going after him with the pressure washer for a hydro colonic!
I enjoyed the breakdowns of sketchy claims in this video and agreed with the first one about Glow recipe watermelon moisturizer even though I absolutely LOATHE the glow recipe fragrance hell watermelon line and how badly it broke me out.
So the first girl has an “educated” opinion based on the “research” she did for a couple of minutes. She’s agnorant. Ignorant and arrogant at the same time.
Can we talk about how to first girl literally was like I've never tried this, I "researched" it for 2 seconds, and my conclusion is that is sucks ass and is going to fuck your skin up 😂😂😂 like girl chill fragrance doesn't bother most people
my mom lived in California and was an older teenager/young adult in the 70's, so tanning was biiiig. but she always wore sunscreen or some kind of protective cream/spray while doing it, she basically went to the beach every day next to these people who didn't wear it at all and did the same thing for HOURS. now a lot of those people either have severe sun damage and/or skin cancer from that, and my mom's skin is still tan (she's mixed..but the sun also made her appear darker) with little sun spots and natural freckles on her face, no skin cancer/issues at all. it's crazy to think taking an essential step in skin protection that has scientific proof for decades causes cancer. also important note if you live on a sunny coast or lakeside, wear sunscreen even if you're under a cover/umbrella in front of the water. UV rays reflect off the waters surface and can still reach you, even though you're 'technically' not directly exposed under the sun, i see too many people say they don't need it in cases like this, but still get sunburnt or irritated from the sun..because of reflecting. cloudy days aswell, the rays can still penetrate through clouds.
I worked for a dermatologist earlier this year who told his patients with acne to stop moisturizing their skin. He said this would "dry out their skin as much as possible to clear their acne." I was floored lol. Not all dermatologists know what they are talking about.
Jesus Christ!! He said what?? Pls tell me you helped that patient realized he got it wrong 🤦, men I feel bad for that patient, RUclips now seem better than most dermatologist offices, lol
I think the derm meant that for patients with excess sebum production it’s important the sebum gets controlled so it’s advisable to consume acne meds as prescribed without other interruptions unless the derm encourages the patient to moisturise too especially if the patient got bad side effects such as cracked bleeding lips otherwise it’s still fine
The derm wanna see the progress whilst adjusting the dosage of prescribed meds so it’s better without interruptions/variables.
My first Derm told me the same thing, I suffered with horrible acne and angry, irritated destroyed skin for years. My second put me on Accutane and completely changed my skin- BUT- misdiagnosed a melanoma and told me it was nothing. I wasn’t happy with the way she handled my scalp psoriasis, so I went to a third Derm, who immediately diagnosed and removed my cancer, then had to go in again since it had spread. He also showed me how much my skin needed moisture, and got rid of my psoriasis and is a great doctor. I have a family history of melanoma, my great uncle died from it, and saying “Nah! It’s nothing you’re only thirty!” Is beyond unacceptable, and they’re everywhere. If your gut tell you your Derm or Aesthetician is an idiot, believe it. My first Aesthetician told me to exfoliate daily with baking soda, OMG.😂 I decided to study skin myself and find my own bloody answers, and at 43 I’m happier with my skin now than in my 20’s.
YUP! I believe it. Just because they're a derm doesn't mean they're the end all be all. Or that they just automatically know what they're talking about
The sunscreen lady really pissed me off! I feel like anyone who even vaguely knew of the suntan craze in the 70s could understand how sunscreen was not the culprit. Correlation does not equal causation. If sunscreen was what caused the huge spike in skin cancer, then our numbers would have continued to spike through out the 80s and 90s!
And the ozone layer got a lot thinner after the 70s, too!
Oxybenzone does however cause coral reef bleaching, as the coral converts it into toxins. It can also kill off green algae and that's not good as most of the earth's oxygen comes from algae in the ocean. So, wrong rationale but still important to avoid these chemical sunscreens when at the beach if plan on getting in the water.
OMG I am a pastey white girl and can't tan and when I was a teen in the late 90s I had so many people ask me why I don't tan. Some of can't and some of us have grandmothers that died of metastasized melanoma. I'm still pastey and won't go out without spf and a hat to sometimes with sunglasses.
The fact that she went to any kind of medical type school and is still getting correlation and causation confused has me extremely worried for anyone who is a client of hers and whoever else graduated from whatever shite institution she went to 😳
ABSOLUTELY. You know what else happened in the 1970s? The Beatles broke up, you could even say because the Beatles broke up too many people were distraught to stay in and hence skin cancer went up.
And that entire argument is just as valid as what she was spouting.
"Generally alcohol isn't great for your skin"
GIRL. A lot of alcohols in products are literally there to help the ingredients penetrate the skin, and there are moisturizing alcohols and alcohols that are good for your skin.
Whenever people demonize alcohols, it's a big red flag for me. I'm literally allergic to certain alcohols(very severely. I almost died during a surgery because of how badly my body freaked out to the sterilization alcohol they used, because im also allergic to povidone-iodine) , and I don't even demonize it like these people🤯
Right???? As if there is only one type of alcohol 😭
Once I was injected with iodine for a CT scan. I had so much pain in my arm that I thought it was torn off. When I explained it to the doctors, they thought I was exaggerating. But I had so much pain, I never thought of an allergy. But I think it's possible after reading your comment.
@@annarexik that or the IV was infiltrated (leaking the contrast into the tissues).
@@blaah9999 Thank you for your answer. I know that when the iodine arrives in the "drip" I was told that I was going to have a hot flash, and that I would have to pee. I had all that, it's not much, on the other hand the pain in the arm, it was excruciating.
Literally tho.
Ugh…the lady saying the reason for the uptick in skin cancer cases from the 70’s is sunscreen is infuriating. Like…ma’am…the reason is because people used to slather themselves in oil and sit in the sun for fucking hours multiple times a week!! My mother said growing up they’d use tanning oil and be out all day and she’d be brown like a rotisserie chicken. Like come on.
This woman does look brown like rotisserie chicken to be fair I would have said ''it's her problem'' if I know by fact that no one will listen to her.
I personally always use SPF +50 minimun given that my mother had melanoma I have higher probability to develope one and even had to make a biopsy in one case (thankfully it was nothing), we both also have regular checks with the dermatologist (they basically register/scan every single birth mark one has to compare it to future results, I forgot the name of the procedure) .
Some people believe the entire thing is an exaggeration or paranoia and like to roast at the sun all day, while my mother didn't (we have a very fair skin and ''burn'' easily) yet she still developed it, probably because while she used sunscreen before the incident she didn't use it in her daily life often enough, in her case it was detected just on time, in my eyes, by almost a miracle because she went to see a doctor because of a back pain, he saw it and directed her to a dermatologist immediately.
It's quite scary to think about it, because if he didn't notice it or passed it as a birthmark I would not have my mother now, it's not even a ''maybe'' it's a fact.
Not all doctors are so attentive and more if it's not their specialty, in my mother's case it was just sheer luck she had that back pain.
So whoever reads this please don't listen this ''umpa lumpa'' lady who doesn't deserve to wear a white coat, use sun protection and watch your birthmarks, if in your back ask a familiar to check it.
Apologies for my English, it's not my native language.
As a licensed esthetician, and someone who worked in pharmaceuticals for twelve years, estheticians like the first girl really crack me up. I just checked, and there are no pore clogging ingredients in the Glow Recipe Watermelon Moisturizer. It’s actually a nice formulation looking at the ingredients.
You can still break out from it though
@@goodiegoodygumdrops maybe, but probably not. Everyone definitely reacts differently, but there’s typically an internal issue to go along with it. From an acne perspective, it will not break you out. I specialize in acne. 👍 A lot of times it’s just because people don’t understand how their skin works. You can definitely be sensitive to ingredients, but that’s a different reaction.
@@jmszoom Meh. "Maybe" is still yes though. (Had past experiences with derms telling me something "shouldn't be" breaking me out. Which is irritating. XD)
I was wondering if she knew how to find the place where the whole ingredient list was located? 😆😆
@@jmszoom What's so irritating is that she says there are a lot of fungal acne triggers, but does not say what ingredients she's talking about. So you can't verify her statements. But it's just her "educated" opinion from "researching it for a couple minutes." 🙄
I lost my aunt to skin cancer and misinformation on sun protection bothers me greatly, thank you for trying to combat it!
Lost my mother's brother, my uncle to skin cancer as well. Now, my mother, class of 1980, has a huge spot on her bsck she will be having biopsied thus week. She used to put on baby oil and lay out, up until I was 20 in about 2008. We are fair/light jn our family and I've only ever been tan 1 year in my life, after a really bad burn at 13, never again. I hide from the sun like it's mustard gas. The reason they saw such a huge rise of skin cancer in the 1970s was the sun bathing of the 1950s and the bikini becoming mainstream, imo and my dermatologist as a teen (hr was about 80 in the early 2000s.).
Lost my grandfather to melanoma. In new Zealand we only just this week had legal standards set for sunscreen, in a country with the highest rate of skin cancer this has been a very long time coming.
The fact that the first person didn’t even think to scroll down further to see the full ingredient list kind of did it for me. No hate to her as an individual but it makes me think that her “research” isn’t very thorough. I don’t find that trustworthy.
Some websites seem to bury the ingredient lists for their products (which is annoying) but on most of them I find that you just have to poke around for a few seconds and you’ll be able to find it.
First red flag for me was her voice. Second was that
She said herself she research for like a minute, seriously who gives a review to the public after minutes of research?? Did she's get an A in school project doing research like this??
@@florencembah2626 : 😂😉👍

People can “train” in things and still be bad at them 😅

Cetaphil literally based their brand on cetyl alcohol because it’s a moisturizing ingredient. What is the first girl even talking about lol
I love Cetaphil, it's one of the few brands that doesn't horribly offend my skin lol. I especially like the moisturizing cream for dry to very dry skin, it does wonders for my skin during winter and you get so much product for such a compatible cheap price.
I was prescribed a cleanser by my dermatologist and even that has cetyl alcohol.
She admitted to the internet that she based an “educated” opinion on a couple minutes of googling. SHE doesn’t even know what she’s talking about 😂
Dermatologists had to take organic chemistry courses for pre-med studies, so they should know fatty alcohols are totally different from the bad alcohols
@@jillybean3752 Cut her some slack, I doubt she's older than 18 lol.
I really love the way your content is evolving. Yes, you may be a normal person and not a chemistry phd or a dermatologist, but... so are we lol. While most of the skincare people I follow fall into one of those two categories, I still find a lot of value in you and your content. You listen to the experts, admit when you're out of your depth, and provide us with entertaining content from a perspective that is still valuable to us as consumers. Regular product reviews combined with an analytical discussion of internet culture and your expertise in photo editing makes for a unique channel. Not to mention your personality. Definitely a bit of a parasocial relationship going on here lmaoo
he's great because he doesn't fear monger, and he's very sensible about explaining the science. and he's also willing to admit when he doesn't know or understand something.
Couldn't have said it better myself! 👏🏽
100%, and we are all james' bestfriends yes
I'm SO glad I hated laying out I would get bored. But my sister loved it, she got skin cancer ♋

I was 9 (1983) when my grandmother gave me some of the best advice I've ever gotten. She told me to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen daily. She had been a "sun worshiper" in the 60's & 70's, and it wrecked her skin. She was extremely wrinkled in her 50's and looked decades older than she was. I'm very fair and and I wanted to be tan like my friends, but I listened to her and today I look about 10 years younger than I am. Now I'm passing that advice along.
Oh I wish my mom had been like this, or anyone close to me, really! In my country people look at you like you have three heads if you're not tanned (in general but specially) during summer. Everyone, specially girls, go to the beach mostly to get tan and not much else. I'm someone with REALLY fair skin and I get these comments a lot. That I look like I'm sick, or similar stuff, and everyone thinks I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist when I tell them how bad the sun and tans are for your skin and that that's why I don't do it. Even my own mom, who has sun spots and knows people who have died from skin cancer, still gets extremely upset because she can't tan as much as others because she's also very fair, and proceeds to spend hours outside tanning. She says it's okay because she wears sunscreen, but if you're getting a tan then that means that sunscreen isn't doing anything for you.
See my great grandma would cover me in sunscreen even if we were just getting the mail. I also burn easily so sunscreen is my friend. I just don't like people thinking I look 16 as I'd like to be put out of highschool
@@semoremo9548 you got those comments too! I’m so white I look blue in certain lights. I’ve always hated it and been mocked for it. I’m now 41 next month, and my tanned contemporaries look way older than I do (I don’t tell them this tho cos I’m not as mean as they were) So the being mocked thing is irrelevant now. You will get the last laugh in the end ❤️
@@littlemy1773 Pale is beautiful! I've always wanted to be pale, pale, pale. I'm light-skinned but when I see people white as snow I'm benevolently jealous 😊.
@@BarbaraT. isn’t it funny how we always want what other people have? My grandma was of Romany descent and she tanned beautifully, my mum and brother are the same. My dad is Scottish/ Norwegian in heritage and has passed his epically white skin to me. I was mocked by School friends, and others for my paleness. I’ve been asked if I’m sick, or anaemic and people love to put their tanned arms next to mine and be like can’t believe how white you are. Like I’m a freak or sth 🤣
As a person who grew up in Australia, where our schools and governments ran campaigns and training programs every year to raise awareness about not only the importance of using sunscreen, but also the things you can do to make it work better (10/10 recommend looking up ‘slip, slop, slap, seek, slide’), the spreading of sun protection misinformation INFURIATES me
Like dudes, wear sunscreen. It saves lives. We know this unquestionably, lol
I just looked up ‘slip, slop, slap, seek, slide' and it is so cute!
I just looked it up too lol we need something like that in USA- sunscreen is becoming popular now but there’s still tanning oils all over the place and people lying in the sun during the summer! Especially where I’m from in the Midwest where it’s cold 9 months of the year!
Fellow aussie here. When I was growing up it was only slip slop slap, I had no idea they'd added seek and slide haha. I started wearing spf daily in my early 20s, mostly for vain reasons to avoid wrinkles haha - but now I live in the UK and god the difference is huge in terms of tanning culture, I was naive to think it was a thing of the 90s. People going to sunbeds and still using tanning oils makes me crazy, and so sad :(
I remember in primary school in the summer terms, if you didn't have your hat or put on sunscreen, you didn't get to play! Scared most of us with just that prospect.
Re: micellar water hack - whether or not you're changing the molecular structure of the solution - your introducing bacteria from your mouth to the pad and foam and then rubbing it on your skin. Might as well just collect your coughs and slather that on 🤣
You already have bacteria on your skin
that was my first thought when i saw that hack too lol. whenever youre blowing on anything, youre spreading bacteria from your spit. so dont blow on things if you want them to stay hygienic! 😂
....in the Kim K video she literally says when she has a really early call time, and she only has a few hours to sleep, then she will sleep in her makeup. She specified she only did it for specific reasons, that only happen occasionally. There's no way Kim has the skin she does by sleeping in her makeup for 8 hours a night.
High end Skin treatments, facials, diet, botox..their way of living is different so anything is possible.
@@paruramesh9269 I mean sure, but she also said in the interview she only sleeps in makeup if she only has a couple hours to sleep, meaning she doesn't do it any other time...
It always baffles me when people do extreme treatments to their genitals (like TANNING THEM, WTF) because the genitals are EXTREMELY sensitive to pretty much everything.
I thought the trend was bleaching ass holes not tanning?
This! Anyone who's gotten really bad sunburn can tell you it's painful, and that's not even on 'sensitive' skin.
for real! i feel like it should be common sense not to tan/"beautify" parts of yourself that are in extremely close proximity to your internal organs 💀 mucus membranes are not something you wanna mess with bc they are so sensitive and often absorb things much more quickly than other types of membranes. there's a reason they say it's "where the sun don't shine" bc it's not supposed to shine down there 😭
That doctor obviously didn’t learn that correlation doesn’t equal causation 🤦♀️
Bum tanning? That has to be one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard in my life. Could you imagine going on a walk and seeing someone doing that in their yard?
To be fair to them, it is their yard to do what they want in 😅
Spray them with a hose 😄
I saw it in my mind now and laughed out loud 😂
In the downward dog position, lol?
@rae moon very true, but it would still be funny to be a passerby
You are so right about tanning in the 70s. I was a child watching adults slather all kinds of oil on their skin, using reflective aluminum panels to reflect and intensify the sunlight on themselves for a darker, quicker tan
I was literally allergic to fragrance in middle school and high school. The only fragrance that my body didn't hate, was the Hempz sweet melon and Pineapple moisturizer. I literally had to carry inhalers with me because I would have extreme asthma attacks whenever people were wearing lots of scent around me, especially because I grew up when Axe body spray was first out, and the guys sprayed about half a bottle every time they wore it.
I'm now in my 30s, and am a huge perfume lover, and can now use all scents on my skin.
Our bodies change. Allergies can always come and go, so saying you should never use something because you were allergic to something similar once, is just insane imo.
I had terrible asthma as a little kid, and went into an attack at least once WALKING NEAR a Bath and Bodyworks. Like, the door opened and I had an attack. Now, I no longer have asthma, and can use their lotions and perfumes. Things can change, even though I still have a hyperactive immune system.
My mom lived in the sun. She was born in 1955. They laid out in the sun for hours every day. I remember laying out with her when I was a kid haha 😄
That sounds like asthma!
@@kankan572 yeah, but also any time I had scent touch my skin, I'd get horrible hives. The hives came first, and lasted a while after the asthma stopped.
Yeah I avoid scented products because I’ve had severe allergic reactions. I’ve taken to just patch testing a product if I’m able to, if not then I’ll just seek out totally unscented to be safe.
Yeah, my mom told me about how she and her friends used to cover themselves in baby oil then just lay out in the sun and fry...
That skin cancer rate was most definitely not caused by sunscreen since no one was wearing it then lol
As someone who was actually born in the 70s, I clearly remember that sunscreen wasn't actually much of a thing back then. The products that existed were much lower SPF than what we have now. Also, tanning oil was super popular. They had an SPF factor listed, usually 2 or 4😱 Anyhow, I think that had a lot more to do with higher instances of skin cancer rather than the presence of oxybenzone. Whoops, should have continued watching before I commented 😂
In the 90s, I remember SPF 30 or 35 being considered high protection. I didn't see SPF 50 being sold on regular stores until much later
@@AngryCandy89 Yeah, even in the 90's you were using the lowest concentration you could get away with. Basically, sun protection was only for beach and being out in the sun the whole day, and it was only to prevent you from burning. Everybody wanted to get tanned, and SPF was used simply to avoid burns - not to avoid getting tanned.
Baby oil and aluminum foil. That's what my friends used for tanning in the 70s and 80s. They'd grease up with baby oil, then make screens out of aluminum doil covered cardboard to reflect the sun right on their faces. Suntan lotions back the focused on getting you as dark as possible, not on protecting your skin. Fortunately for me, I found out early on that I'm allergic to mineral oil (baby oil); I didn't need any help getting tan so no foil for me; and I hated laying out in the sun. Didn't like getting hot and I was bored out of my skull within 15 minutes and quit doing it before I was 16. (And only tried it a couple times each summer before that, figuring it'd be different this year. Nope. Not a tanner!)
What?? My pale skin would have been ripped of... I didn't realise how sunscreen is recent
My mom and grandma used real sunscreen then, but they had to drive hours out of their way to a particular health food store that sold the new and strange product back then. My mom hasn't had skin cancer problems now when most people her age have had at least a few skin cancer spots removed if not significantly worse problems, and my grandma looked in her 60's for thirty years after she'd passed that birthday. They still didn't use it everyday like we're advised to do nowadays though.
I can confirm that not all dermatologists know what they're talking about. A famous dermatologist in my country once discouraged a person to stop putting moisturizers and only using toners. Then after a few months, she stopped recommending toners and only use moisturizers.
LOL on the first lady, not sure you can say your opinion is educated if you don't even know how to scroll down and read a full description!
I try not to complain about people's voices but jeez she was a little tough to listen to 😬
18:58 "It's not about the amount of time that you're rubbing, it's about the motion of the rubbing".
Nearly choked on my drink.
Yes you can get skin cancer everywhere, even places that the sun has never seen. My Grandmother had it on her vulva and she wasn't going to nude beaches.
Even a head full of hair can get melanoma.
Yes but that isn't a reason to burn yourself in the sun. A lot of people do.
New fear unlocked

When you talked about the tanning culture in the 70s-I used baby oil when I would lie out in the sun. So yeah, just frying my skin. I had an extremely bad sunburn when I was 16, and pretty much stay out of the sun now.
My mother just went through several painful, scary Moh's procedures to address basal cell carcinoma. She's doing very well, but any cancer is extremely frightening for the whole family. Several of the patches were on her scalp. I want to SCREAM from the rooftops! It doesn't matter what color you are, we are ALL vulnerable! PLEASE USE SUNSCREEN!!! Reapply often. Screw the naysayers. There are literally hundreds of varieties to choose from, so if you don't like one, try another. It has never been easier to access high quality sunscreens from all over the world - South Korea, Australia, Japan, Europe - go get some! Buy it, use it and reapply so you don't die. Also, wear a hat. My mother has always been very active, but she didn't bother with sunscreen. She's going to have to get checked regularly for the rest of her life, but it's worth it to stay safe. All of this was preventable.
This has been an emotional public service announcement.
Not sure about their place in skincare, but surfactants serve only a placebo effect in toothpaste as the suds they create give people a tangible way to think about the paste spreading and "cleaning" their teeth but they don't actually physically contribute to the clean other than psychologically.
a dermatologist should know correlation is not the same thing as causation. anyone who has taken a basic science course should be aware of this concept
The tanning epidemic of the ‘70s honestly hasn’t ended in areas of Europe (judging from the last time I was there). All my cousins in Croatia would rub straight oil (like olive oil, not even tanning oil) on their skin to go tanning and thought using sunscreen would stop them from tanning so refused to use it!
I'm so glad I'm old enough not to be the target demographic for Tiktok, it's so toxic and borderline dangerous in so many ways.
the 70s and 80s were all about the suntanning. everyone laid out, no one wore sunscreen. you'd think a DERMATOLOGIST would know that?! especially one who is at least my age, early 40s by her looks. i have strong memories of my mom suntanning with no sunscreen my entire childhood. and kim sleeps on her back like that because of all the plastic surgery she's had - i know this, because i've had a breast reduction and i sleep exactly like that now.
She’s not a dermatologist- I looked it up her credentials and being a “doctor of chiropractor” she doesn’t disclose this and uses the title doctor to make people think she is a medical doctor
1. Fake tans are ugly.
2. People are so crazy with tanning, and completely ignore the bad effects of it. 👍🏻
I think a little bit of tan is ok but I don’t understand when people spend a lot of money to have such skin color that they would have never had naturally.
I mean, some white people with too much of tan look very strange. They skin looks like they’re POC but their face features aren’t. Kind of scary to me.
Omg remember oompa loompa trisha pasta
There are some fake tans I’ve seen that look really nice but in most circumstances they look patchy and the shade doesn’t always suit the person. people need to learn to except their current skin tone. It will save them lots of money and the possible risk of skin cancer and premature ageing from using sun beds.
@@snake_whirlpool they don’t look like POC, they end up looking orange most of the time because of the white mixed with brown in a abnormal way. Some take it to extremes (black fishing)
@@LilyMcdurmont I get it! But sometimes I see people choosing such dark colors of a fake tan that they look like they’re blackfishing. Even if it’s unintentional.
Why in the hell would someone think that tanning your crotch is a good idea??!! WTF is wrong with people????!!!! I love your videos btw.....
The ONLY reason would be to clear up any residual bad fauna in the crotch region that usually can only survive in the dark.
I hate when youtubers will ONLY judge products looking at the ingredients.
I'm glad I'm not on TikTok, there's already so much nonsense on other platforms 🥴
Facts and your saving your personal photos and data by doing so 💛🍄💕💀
"I have IBS. I'm not doing those positions". I laughed so hard I had to pause the video 🤣
just because it’s their job it doesn’t mean they’re good at it😌 you’ll find people like that in every profession, unfortunately
True. If someone like Anthony Youn was good at plastic surgery, he wouldn't be desperately doing tiktok for views. His real or sus videos judging celebrities' faces and butts and breasts are disgusting.
Exactly 📌
My mother got skin cancer in the early 2000's. She got it from lying on a tanning bed 3/4 times a week in the 90's. My mother is super super pale and I went to a school where all the moms were tan and thin. She tanned and went to the gym a lot when I was younger. She says she also tanned a lot as a teen in the 70's but a tanning bed didn't help.
I try my best to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen. The sun is no friend to your skin but especially when you have fair skin like me. Two things happen when I am exposed to the sun. I freckle like crazy and burn. Sunscreen is a must. When I went to my 20 year high school reunion, I had so many of my female classmates asking me how I have kept my skin looking so youthful. That's one of the biggest tips I could offer. I avoid the sun and wear sunscreen when I have to be in it. Of course, when I told them, they started saying they just couldn't stay out of the sun like that. I mean, it's not like I'm a hermit. I do go out. I'm just mindful of how I'm exposed to one of the quickest ways of aging my skin.
Alcohol are used in cosmetic formulations because not all ingredients can be dissolved in water. Also, some extraction processes are only efficient using alcohol. It can act as a emulsifier and a carrier helping the delivery system. All depends in how much you use, what type of alcohol you use and etc
Not a cosmetic formulator, but I do have some basic knowledge as a pharmacist
My dad is in his late 70s, and my partner and I were just talking yesterday about how he refuses to wear SPF, and he sun bathes almost daily. My mother has had skin cancer twice, and I convinced him to go get checked a couple years ago, but he came back clean which just made him think even more that he didn't need SPF. My dad is really dark skinned for a white person, he's even darker than I am, and im half Italian with olive skin, so I get dark too. I wish I could convince him to wear SPF, he just thinks only girls use SPF, and he always says "back in my day, everyone actually used tanning oil" he's one of those reeeeeal stubborn boomers🤣
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all for it. I'd hate for my dad to get skin cancer
my parents are in their 70s and there is no way to make them use SPF. and even if I get them to use it, maybe they'll use it for day or two than give up for the rest of the summer because the skin now "got used to the sun". I think almost all boomers are stubborn. :/
Maybe he would fall for one of those male-branded products like dude wipes 😂 my dad refused to use baby wipes but dude wipes “can handle” his “manly butt”. There must be some “manly” branded SPF he’d be willing to use.
Omg that’s my in-laws and they live in Phoenix Arizona in part so that my FIL can sunbathe daily 🤦🏻♀️
All boomers are stubborn. It's just the culture of their younger years. Interested to see what millennials turn out to be like in our 70s.
My dad, his identical twin, and their siblings a had very dark skin for being Eastern European. None of them used SPF or tanning oil. They didn't get skin cancer. I got the light skin of my mom's side and was had a benign melanoma growth when I was 12. On another note I feel climate change could totally play a role in skin cancer due to higher exposure to uv rays. 🤷🏼♀️
@Galaxy Life that's no use against the boomer logic: "I haven't used it so far and I'm fine, so why would I use it now". They aren't gonna listen to derms, especially if they are younger than them.
You’re more expert than countless “Experts”. You put in the work, you take your time, you’re honest regardless. I trust you through and through
In the 1970's and 80's, girls were using baby oil to tan. THAT is why so many women my age have skin cancer. I never did because I would burn easily. My cousin would refer to me as "The White Goddess" behind my back. It used to drive her crazy when we were teens how people thought that I was older even though I was one year younger. Well, she finally got her wish. Now that we are in our 50's, she looks older than me.
Love watching James riff on silly skincare nonsense while I do my morning routine (yes it's after noon right now, morning is a state of mind)
Are they not still teaching science in school?!?!? It's been a while but they still teach it right? 🤦🏾♀️
This comment is everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Comment section win 🏆
Really depends
They r probably skiving
They do. In the USA it’s science according to the bible, though. 🤷🏼♀️
Not to be ageist, but the first women sounds and looks very young and has me wondering if she is actually certified - can someone be certified that young? She looks 19 to me (of course, she may not be). Also, being younger she may not have a lot of experience yet. I know this is probably a controversial opinion because I’m basing off age, but even she didn’t sound confident in anything she was saying.
The sunscreen one - I can only use oxybenzone sunscreens because zinc breaks me out SO BAD! I
yeah she definitely did not have a good idea of what she was speaking about considering she was blatantly wrong on multiple things, the biggest being that alcohols are not good for your skin lol. considering there are many different kinds of alcohols and not all of them are drying. She says there are lots of fungal acne triggers but dosen't actually say what any of them are. There's also no reason that this moisturizer would clog your pores, nothing in it is particularly comedogenic. Breaking out is an individual experience, you can break out from the use of a product tons of other people have no issues with if your skin just dosen't like one of the ingredients so you can't really tell someone that a product probably will or probably won't break them out, unless they're acne prone and in that case, some ingredients aren't the best.
To expand on your point about tanning in the late 60’s and ‘70’s, I bet the dramatic rise in skin cancer can also be linked with the exploding ubiquitousness of the bikini in that same period. More skin exposed, more risk and whatnot. Not that I plan to stop wearing them lol.
I have friends that are into butt-tanning, but they are the same ppl that are into conspiracy theories, antivax, SEEDOIL IS BAD etc etc etc
They think SEED OIL is bad?!? What's that all about?! LOL!
@@mariya_tortilla I can't even comprehend...apparently its the root of all evil (ie cancer etc) ;( its weeeeird
how are u friends w people like that?! don’t they drive u mad?
Like they say, Correlation does not equal causation.. just because they released a product in the 70's and a rise in skin cancer does not mean that's the reason for it.
I think people looking at the face value of ingredients just speaks to some people not being critical thinkers. Being able to stop, pause, and further educate yourself is important. PS I love Glow Recipe and I just ordered the Saturday Skin Yuzu Sleep Mask!!
I lived through the 1970s. We didn't use sunscreen. Baby oil was the most popular marinade for broiling skin. Thankfully, I get migraines from lying on the hot sun, and my mom warned me about sun exposure, so I didn't go whole hog like many of my friends.
You had me at “people tanning their a**holes”
Everyone has their own biases and beliefs, so even qualified professionals can get things wrong or be blinkered, we're all only human. I really appreciate your opinion and have always thought your content was educational, entertaining and thought provoking- especially your deep dive videos, like the when beauty goes bad series.
i feel like it's rlly hard to take someone seriously if they say there isn't a full ingredient list when there is
Sigh...I'm so over all this pseudo-science bs. Thanks for doing your bit to educate James!
James (and everyone) I just watched a video from Lab Muffin Beauty where she talks about an unregulated chemical sunscreen that is being used widely in higher SPF physical sunscreens and it is wild! I actually own a few SPF 50 mineral sunscreens and the stuff is in all of them (including Supergoop). So worth a watch.
I really relished Michelle going on a rant against clean beauty on that one. The only thing clean beauty's cleaning is our bank account.💸
You're right about the 70s. In the 60s, 70s and part of the 80s I used baby oil and iodine mixture to tan with. I used to get a great dark tan. After a couple pre cancerous moles had to be removed, I no longer laid out in the sun and used a sunscreen.
Honestly, Kim K sleeping in her makeup doesn’t bother me that much either. Along with the reasons you stated, I don’t think it’s that bad because she’s sleeping in freshly applied makeup. The “cardinal sin” of sleeping in your makeup applies more to makeup you’ve been wearing all day that has accumulated dirt, grime, and sebum. Since makeup and skincare are mostly made of the same ingredients, wearing new makeup to bed every once in a while is not that bad.
Avoid sleeping in makeup at all costs. Unless you know you will sleep less than 3 hours. Or else, 1) your makeup is going to get on that pillow case, dirty it up immediately, and then youre going to roll over that again in the middle of the night with your face. Also a great way to get product stuck under your eye lids. And, if you're prone to sweating, youre going to have sweat, oil, dirt, + makeup in your pores from sleeping with multiple hours of oil on your face and youre going to carry that on your face for who knows how many hours after waking up. BAD idea ladies and gents, don't do it "every once in a while" just never do it lol. theres no point
The sunscreen lady made me laugh so hard saying a type of sunscreen in the 1970’s caused skin cancer. I was born in 1952 and until the 1980’s did anyone wear sunscreen! We really didn’t have sunscreen to speak of. The lady has no idea how we killed our skin for decades 😂
I love all your videos but this one just hit home. I’m a pharmacist who has to deal with misinformation from doctors and general public all the time. There are obviously the amazing and the bad in all professions but You won’t believe the number of specialists who talk without an ounce of research.
When I learned about the different types of alcohols in skincare about 2 years ago, it widened the amount of products that I use and work so well on my skin. I used to avoid ANYTHING with “alcohol”
Prostate cancer, colon and rectum cancer are the top most common cancers, why not tan the exit and speed up the process
LOVED this video!:) Can you please address the whole "your digestive system affects your skin/the skin & gut are interconnected" argument in one of your future vids?
Please do a deep dive on Dr Daniel Aronov, Dr Ryan Wells, and Dr Daniel Lanzer for your When Beauty Turns Ugly series. They're cosmetic surgeons who got suspended for a multitude of reasons. I just watched an episode of 60 Minutes Australia about them the other day and was shocked by how unprofessional they were. One of them (Dr Aronov) was famous on Tiktok and they made him delete all of his content.
I just googled him, I’m shook. Stopping mid way through to film TikTok’s.
@@sophiewhittaker730 You should watch the 60 Minutes Australia from like a month ago (there's 2 on cosmetic surgery but it's the more recent one). It's insane!
Here's the video ruclips.net/video/A41WX-Xamf4/видео.html
In case that link gets deleted, it's called 'What Happens When Making People Beautiful Goes Horribly Wrong' or something like that.
60's and 70's were definitely where people went out tanning significantly much more. Like sitting outside and cooking in the sun 🥴 and then of course we have to ozone layer having a hole in it! Which lead to more sun radiation in the beams penetrating through the atmosphere. Thakk goodness James mentions this
Am I the only one who finds it odd when a practicing doctor post Tiktoks from their office? Idk if that lady was a doctor but it's still weird to me. I just can't imagine any of my doctors doing that. They're focused on their patients...not becoming Tiktok famous.
On the micellar water one too; I really don't feel like rubbing a cotton round over my face that's now covered in spit particles because I just blew into it.
The perineum tanning recently became more wildly known because of Tucker Carlson. I'm sorry but I don't look at Tucker Carlson and think, "That's a guy I want to get skincare advice from." It's not necessary and just the idea of getting skin cancer in that general region is just too much for me.
I only use those websites that break down ingredient lists when I'm checking what the product contains because they help me sort the ingredients by groups, e.g. SPF filters, humectants, etc. it makes it easier for me to understand what it contains and compare it to another product. However, I never base my decision to buy on their recommendation because according to them, the only thing that isn't bad for oily/problematic/sensitive skin is pure water, lol
Listening to James call out sketchy shit on the internet is my new favorite thing xD
It's like how micellar water won't work if you don't put it on cotton; lab muffin did a great explanation of how dirt is just different lipids and the lipophilic ends of the micellar water, whilst the phobic ends attached to the cotton, attract/ pick up on the dirt and clean your face.
I think the misconception with silicone is because it's not great in hair shampoo if you want to colour your hair. It can leave a residue in the hair cuticle which prevents certain colours from penetrating the cortex and working. Thank you for the awesome videos!
As someone with a UV allergy because of an autoimmune disease, sunscreen disinformation is my biggest pet peeve. I hear it constantly because I practically bathe in sunscreen.
When I first got into skin care I followed this misinformation (ingredient websites and people who give advice based on them). I missed out on so many great products that have since made an extremely positive impact on my skin. You’re approach has really changed my skin, so thank you!!
I'm a Gen X'er who grew up in the 1970's with sun worshippers. My neighbor girls would coat themselves in Crisco and sit up on their roofs for hours on end. I never used sunscreen during those days, but I also never went to those extremes.
I love you James!! Your advice has helped me tremendously improve my skin. 💛
This is why I don’t like to use tiktok for informational videos. There’s too vague of an explanation and the important research is missed. So glad to have you on youtube to stress how misleading “medical terminology” is on the internet
Omg im loving your nails. I know you have mentioned your intrest in korean nail art and i just wanna say i would love a video!
Ah yes reviewing the product without trying the actual product, reliable 🙄🤣
But she has her "educated" opinion though 😅😅😅
The whole thing about oxybenzone use cause an increase in skin cancer is a clear example of correlation does not equal causation. We are also getting better at diagnosing cancers earlier so you do expect to be higher than 1950s
Also where are people sunning their crotches? I live in a townhome. Should I just go out to the driveway?
james is my comfort ytber
Just found you! love your work and even got my kids to watch your show informative thank you I just wanted to make a note around 13 minutes maybe 20 seconds you mention about “ cheap” brands doing this scamming - it might be good to point out that “ expensive” brands do alot of trickery in labels as well ,as well as not the greatest transparency (but actually are getting better because of the Customers being more informed and demanding to know what is in stuff and demanding for that transparency ) 🎉but yeah just a little note there -you know It seems like a blanket statement because there are a lot of “cheaper” Companies that just are trying to get their packaging right then they’re trying to figure out what’s right for their formula, what the beauty community wants, and you know I wanna give them a little bit of credit -because not all companies just because they’re “cheap”, … are bad companies , or less well known companies ,( companies that can’t afford to advertise all over the world or might -I note- cover up anything or take people you know and cover up their lawsuits and just pay off the people that may be got injured from their skin Care line … so that’s good to point out that maybe the cheaper companies don’t have the money and time to spend in court because they’re trying to sell their product so yeah not to say that any companies are doing anything shadya little guys are trying to make it too you know and so yeah anyway- just a thought … cheers!
Saw this when James posted it last month... just happened to spot the thumbnail just now as I was scrolling and it gave me a good teehee. Welsh brothers are the most hilarious 😁🥰
I feel like the most important thing I took away from this video was that I might try dry cleansing tonight 😂 I knew everything else was dumb, but I has no idea this was smart.
I have ibs as well and the way I ugly laughed when you mentioned it lol. Stay strong spoonie brother
Like George Carlin once said, “Somewhere out there is the worlds worst doctor.”
As a Chemist, it is great to hear you.
As a former esthetician, the important thing to keep in mind is that (like doctors, including dermatologists) not everyone is educated the same way. The most basic U.S. state program that qualifies you as an "esthetician" just teaches you the sanitation portion and basic techniques for massaging product into the face. They are expecting you to go on and work for a spa that will teach you how to use the product line, or possibly intern with a dermatologist that will train you into a medical esthetician. Then there are schools dedicated to training estheticians who get exposure to several machines, product lines, techniques, and even train on alternative methodologies and practices like ayurvedic skin care. Both of these schools produce the same class of esthetician with no distinction in your license. The difference is your employment opportunity directly after school, as most reputable spas that use machines for procedures will research your credentials in addition to certifying you on the specific machine(s) you will use. However, when it comes to advice, consumers have no way to see your schooling or experience, so make sure not to work in absolutes - most skin therapy is about trial and error - testing to see what works for the individual, then developing a therapy around that.
The dermatologist fake ad, ugh that one got me. just like the MLMs taking my before and after photos (even had my own sent to me by a hun showing her girl "Ashley's results" hahaha so annoying...) my before and after photos are from gastric bypass, tummy tuck and a boob job..followed by years of being chronically malnourished and now disabled on 28pills a day to stay alive (surgery at 17yrs old, 33 now).. not your skinny coffee or "fuelings" karen.
Glow recipe watermelon line is a lifesaver for my congested mature skin. Other products are not that effective for me.
Edit: also that alum block clip is harmful. I have made some bad choices in life,few very bad choices and then I used alum block. My skin is so oily that I can use almost any exfoliating acid without much harm but alum block cracked my skin, gave me rash. Not worth it.
I absolutely LOVE fragrance but i'm lucky because my skin isn't that sensitive! Great video as always
Omg, i just can't with the tanning of private parts lol i just can't 😂
My dad came to visit and managed to watch the clip about perineal tanning. He didn't even hear the bit about it being bs. I'm scared to look in the backyard, my dad might be out there naked trying to figure out how to get his feet over his head. I'm torn between gouging my eyes out with a spoon, or going after him with the pressure washer for a hydro colonic!
I enjoyed the breakdowns of sketchy claims in this video and agreed with the first one about Glow recipe watermelon moisturizer even though I absolutely LOATHE the glow recipe fragrance hell watermelon line and how badly it broke me out.
So the first girl has an “educated” opinion based on the “research” she did for a couple of minutes. She’s agnorant. Ignorant and arrogant at the same time.
Can we talk about how to first girl literally was like I've never tried this, I "researched" it for 2 seconds, and my conclusion is that is sucks ass and is going to fuck your skin up 😂😂😂 like girl chill fragrance doesn't bother most people
alum is the crystal deodorant stuff and it's the best deodorant hands down! no smell all day no matter how much you sweat 💪
YES!!! I use a brand called Pitrock and it’s so good!
my mom lived in California and was an older teenager/young adult in the 70's, so tanning was biiiig. but she always wore sunscreen or some kind of protective cream/spray while doing it, she basically went to the beach every day next to these people who didn't wear it at all and did the same thing for HOURS. now a lot of those people either have severe sun damage and/or skin cancer from that, and my mom's skin is still tan (she's mixed..but the sun also made her appear darker) with little sun spots and natural freckles on her face, no skin cancer/issues at all. it's crazy to think taking an essential step in skin protection that has scientific proof for decades causes cancer.
also important note if you live on a sunny coast or lakeside, wear sunscreen even if you're under a cover/umbrella in front of the water. UV rays reflect off the waters surface and can still reach you, even though you're 'technically' not directly exposed under the sun, i see too many people say they don't need it in cases like this, but still get sunburnt or irritated from the sun..because of reflecting. cloudy days aswell, the rays can still penetrate through clouds.
