Yes! Just stop eating and tell the damn story. The constant giggling interruptions were annoying. Maybe I’m just a grumpy old lady...not maybe, I am. 🤣
I hope you're doings well and are recovering well. Skin cancer is no joke, any cancer for that matter. People tend to unintentionally think they are the exception to harmful situations, and only think about it when something effects them directly.
I'm so sorry you went through this. My mother had melanoma, thankfully she caught it early enough to be cured with Moh's surgery. I also ended up having pigmented basal cell carcinoma at the age of 20 in the area where I hinge my hip upwards - the groin-ish area where not a lot of sun shines. And I use lots of sunscreen and cover up because I burn so easily! I'm always flabbergasted when I hear people advise other people to go out in high-noon sun to get vitamin D, which is when the UV index is at its worst. Idc who you are or what your color is, you avoid high noon sun when the UV index is at a certain level, especially at beaches as the reflection of the sun off sand can double UV exposure. Go out later in afternoons and early morning if you want to get that 15 mins of sun without sunscreen, but then apply, and take a vitamin D supplement. If you had skin cancer or a family history of skin cancer, I'd just avoid going outside without sun protection period. I'm now at greater risk for more basal cell carcinoma and other skin cancers because of this, and sun protection is vital in preventing any more of these cancers from surfacing. It is vital we protect ourselves, friends! OP, I hope treatment is going well and I hope you recover well!
I will never forget the day a Caucasian woman tried to explain to me how my skin works and that, "black people don't need sunscreen, that's what your dark skin is for, the industry is lying to you, your ancestors were fine without it... " 🙄 Skin cancer doesn't discriminate, everyone should wear sunscreen. Also, hyperpigmentation is best treated with prevention. My mum is 50 and struggles with it now.
You should say hyperpigmentation is best “avoided”with prevention not saying it’s best “cured”, because prevention isn’t used as a cure it’s used as a way to basically stop something from happening before it happens But I get what you mean prevention it’s better than treatment.
@@jeffdiggs7030 thank you for your comment. In hindsight, that sentence seems a bit off to me as well. But I am glad that you understand the gist of it.
Jesus. I was always taught the opposite. Everyone needs sunscreen. My best friend was biracial, and I used to hsve to make her wear sunscreen bcuz she always said she didn't need it. I just wanted to tske care of my friend, so from 3rd to 7th grade, we put on sunscreen together on the bus/in homeroom/lunch, etc. Miss you Megan!
I worked in a daycare and one of the things we did was ask the parents to purchase the sunscreen they wanted and have it stay at the daycare. That way, the parents could choose to purchase a specific branded sunscreen. Every parent loved this. I never heard one complaint. We did NOT go outside without sunscreen or hats for the kiddies. Ages 3-5.
That is great. My mother used ti have to send it with me wherever I went and remind the caretakers to have me out it on. Back in the early 90s, most places just didn't care and thought my mom was a weirdo. They didn't tske into consideration I was blonde with greennhazel eyes and so pale I glow in the dark.
4:10... she couldn’t wait until she was done filming this one minute long video to eat? I really hate when people eat on camera and talk while their lips are smacking and mouth is full of food. Ick. Maybe I’m too old for that tik tok life 🤷🏻♀️ “Is Florida known for being sunny?”- it’s actually called “the sunshine state” 😂
Felt. It's one of my biggest pet peeves when people talk while they're eating. Idk if she thought that was quirky or funny. It wasn't. Her skin blister story wasn't funny either, it was awful that happened to her.
Regarding the lemon milk dude, he’s from the Philippines (speaking Tagalog), and skin bleaching and whitening is still a big thing here, I grew up with slightly darker skin than most and I was teased a lot. I cannot get a regular soap or lotion without a “whitening” claim on it. A lady at the mall recommended for me her skin whitening product and when I told her I’m not interested, she asked “why?”
3 года назад+229
True!! It’s the same here in China. I literally check every product to make sure it’s not a whitening product
Same in India! I'm darker than my sister, but slightly wheatish, it's a complexion shade that only exists in India, supposed to define me.. anyway.. everyone always told me to apply more powder so I would appear presentable.
My friend was rushing to go to A&E last month cause we were playing while eating grapes and the grape blocked her windpipe. The scariest day of my life 😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Yeah so horrible. I’ve heard under six months should do hats/clothes instead of sunscreen, but after that they should be wearing sunscreen there are SO many baby-safe kinds. A sunburn in the first year of life can like double your risk of skincancer
Yeah. Also she said a lot of SPF has harsh ingredients but SPF for children are actually some of the best cause most of them don't contain alcohol or fragrances. The Biore kids milk one is a great alternative to the Watery essence of your sensitive to alcohol.
I am beyond sick of “influencers” sharing all their wonderful secrets of such great skin and makeup when they use a FILTER. Yeah I could use a great filter and tell you to rub cow shit on your face and people would be like OMG ITS TRUE LOOK
@@JamesWelsh indie horror game playthroughs are my go to. ManlyBadassHero has the perfect voice for winding down, and plays a lot of horror games I don't see anyone playing.
To all the teens and youth in general: wear sunscreen & retouch if you're in the tropics/ subtropics/in the sun wherever you are. I used to go to my grandparents pool in spf 15, got a bit lazy on the retouching. Sunburn lasted weeks. My family is from S. America but melanin didn't help. Now I use spf 50 even in winter.
Yes your location matters so much and the other part people forget is altitude! Wasn't good about reapplying one day in a higher altitude city and I was so burnt that it made me sleepy and get the chills. I've never gotten blisters though thankfully
ALSO, if your house has big windows, lots of natural light coming in and/or very reflective walls, WEAR SUNSCREEN TO STAY INSIDE. You don't need to reapply as frequently as when you're outdoors, swimming or exercising, but it's good to protect your skin because the sun still affects you. I've been working remotely for almost two years now and for a few months I ditched sunscreen and oh boy, my skin did not like it, my face was always red from working by a big window lol
It hurt to see that poor baby sitting in the sun and knowing he wasn't protected. When I couldn't tackle my son down to slather him in sunscreen, he was covered with a large hat and/or longer shirts.
Truee, back then as a kid we were playing with the sand at the beach, my mom insisted me to wear long sleeves with a hat + sunscreen on face and neck, while my sister refuses it and only got forced to at least apply one time for most parts of her body because sunscreens were so expensive in my country back then. The results were that I was fine and my sister's skin got burned, skins were flakey, red and painful lol
How weird is this . Last night I choked slightly on a grape after coughing and I thought to myself wow What if I was talking while eating that grape ...
When I was thirteen and on holiday, I spent most of the day in a swimming pool in the Caribbean. Because of the reflection of the sun on the water my shoulders got very burnt and went almost like a puffy quilt. Moral of story, sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!
I was by the water too (I wore sunscreen tho) but my shoulders were burnt anyways😅 it did damage my skin slightly but it’s not noticeable to the eye, now I have freckles there, but yes - STILL WEAR SUNSCREEN GUYS
@@GMW.artist fair enough! I have a kiddo and she gets to range pretty freely but I don’t think I’d probably sit and film her while she literally ate mud lol. I just appreciated James’ point. Parental supervision is advised 🙂
@@asserehe5075 exactly what i was thinking. Just cleansed my face and only used niacinamide, prescription rosacea cream, moisturizer and my rosacea is NOT happy.. sigh.. gonna have to stop using on of the products again. (These few products ive been using for a while without irritation, sometimes my skin Just wants.. nothing.. eventhough its so dry)
You should also check out the dermatologist/ professional part of RUclips : DR. Dray, LAB MUFFIN, Doctorly are great. Also Cassandra Bankston Ps. No hate on James, he's the best!, a knowledgeable consumer and a great RUclipsr
I live in Australia, it's not that hot compared to other places, but it will BURN you. Kid's here are raised by the saying "Slip, Slop, Slap!" Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat
I don't understand the whole thing with sunscreen. Like why is it so difficult to just wear it? My mom used to get mad at me when I wasn't wearing any when I was younger. Now I understood why and I'm the one that gets mad at my friends when they don't wear
People are dumb and think the sunscreen/skincare industries are out to kill you... even though that would be a very unwise way to run a business, killing your own customers
I went on vacation with my friends family, they kept joking about me using SPF 50 (to note me and her family are both white, I’m just very very pale) well I asked them where their sunscreen was. “Oh we don’t need that, we’re not pale like you” I almost screamed. “How am I gonna work on my tan if I use sunscreen” UGHHHH. Best part was when her dad took off his shirt just to reveal a back of sun damage. This was the same family on the same vacation who kept jokingly pointing out this same Frozen themed kids sunscreen to me that went to like SPF 150
I think part of it is the way it feels on the skin. I HATED wearing it when I was younger because the one my mum bought was greasy, sticky, smelly and made my skin feel nasty, and it turned white and peeled off. I wear sunscreen now, but because I'm an adult I can choose a different sunscreen that doesn't feel nasty and sticky on my skin and that I actually like. If I'd had that choice when I was younger, I might've worn it, but it felt so nasty that I hated wearing it.
My mom always told me to wear sunscreen and I did. Well, she overdid when I was younger to the point of me being more pale and not getting a slight tan (not talking about a darker tan), but my friends almost never wore sunscreen. Recently I noticed that their tanned skin looks more wrinkly and you can tell it’s damaged 😅 they are 20 years old… their face is young of course being only 20, but their body (tanned skin)… oh no😭 and shaming others for not being tanned enough/not tanning is so weird.
Also my auntie passed away from skin cancer on her head bc she used to spend every day outside without a hat and had very fine hair, so also wear a hat or something if your hair is fine and the sun is strong (and see a doctor quickly if you find anything, bc she waited so long)
I’m so sorry about your aunt, I know that it can be a scary and sad thing to lose a family member to cancer. This is one of my biggest fears because skin cancer(and cancer in general) is really common in my mom’s side of the family.
Thanks James, I'm a Filipino and colorism is very much ingrained in our culture, being colonized by countries that has fairer skin than us pretty much warped our definition of beauty. Like having darker skin tone makes you look poor, or that having a darker skin tone makes you look less pretty, etc, etc. That's why majority of the skin care here pretty much has the word "Whitening". Thankfully this is starting to change, it's really slow but I think there'll be a time where we can all accept the skin that we're born into.
Ive started my first legit skin care routine in my life. I'm 38 and have always had horrible skin. Skin so bad I've always hidden from the world. On the really bad days I even hide from my husband. Covid and masks wasn't a bad thing for me. I could go to town with my face hidden. I didnt know really anything about buying products tho. I tried everything that could be bought at dollar general and most of what was at Walmart. Think st ives, noxema, sea breeze, etc. Yea, it was bad. When u don't know better you won't do better. I ended up giving up and for several years only washed my face with some soap and water while hiding from mirrors. I'd be careful about the faucet in the bathtub, windows, water, anything that I might see my reflection in. Then I found one of your videos. I spent months watching and rewatching videos while taking notes. I then added some of Cassandra's videos. After lots of learning, I ordered some products from sephora. It's taken more than the usually few weeks to see change. Honestly, I was starting to lose hope. A month had passed with nothing and I thought if all this couldn't help me then nothing could. Then this week happened (month 2). I'm seeing change. Noticable change and I don't even know how to feel about it. If anyone else looked at my skin they would still see a mess but it's only bc they dont know what I was dealing with b4. I have a lot of scarring and dark spots along with acne. Even my scarring is showing improvement. My life is seriously about to change and I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I want to take some selfies. I dont have any. I've never taken one or any pics for that matter. I've always ran when cameras come out. I've been legit scared of cameras. Now I wish I would've pushed myself to take a pic when this started so I could show people just how much you've changed my life. I've made a vanity in my bedroom to keep all my stuff and have added a mirror. Tonight when doing my routine I was excited to look in the mirror to see what was going on. A lot of the brown, scarred areas are starting to turn pink and feel much softer than they did. My acne is half of what it was. You have truly been a miracle in my life and I can't thank you enough. You've given me all the info I need to fix my skin for free. You dont even nag for donations. Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to go over to Robert's channel to learn about and buy make up. Ive never worn make up but love it. It's never felt like something intended for me. This is the first time I've felt hopeful about the chance to enjoy make up. If you ever come to an event in the US please let us know in advance. I'd really like to have the chance to meet u and thank u in person. Hopefully by that point I can show off beautiful skin.
hey love, just read your comment on your skincare journey. Hows it going one year later???🤔 I hope you've found the changes to be very healing for you emotionally and physically. Have you had a chance to enjoy makeup yet??? I bet that would do wonders for your self esteem, on things like uneven skin tone and bringing out your best features! Sometimes just a bit of lipstick, blush and mascara can really make a difference! Hope you've come to terms that its ok not to have flawless skin, we all have texture or uneven skin tones in some way. Hugs!💗☺
So glad you’re talking about hair splinters! I get them all the time on my feet from my short haired chihuahua’s fur. People don’t believe that they’re real! It’s like stepping on glass.
And it felt like there were so many small, random noises just thrown in there like the cartoony splooshes. Idk, love the squirrel at the end, but I am too thoroughly put off by the noises to appreciate it
The skin bleaching makes me sad. My mother is Filipino, but I live in the US. I started breaking out there because I didn’t have my normal skin care products with me. I bought just a cleanser and moisturizer there and didn’t know it was for bleaching. I went back to the US more sunburned than ever and lighter, even tho it’s a sunnier country
Sunscreen is important. I’m incredibly fair-skinned, and when I was 17, I had a portion of my skin on my arm removed due to skin cancer. Cover up! ❤️❤️❤️
I want to be the kind of girl that has a 10 step skin care routine, but I am far too lazy. Also, I think I would just be a giant ball of grease if I put that much stuff on my face.
My hairdresser had a hair splinter that got in under her bra strap. She thought it was an insect bite that wouldn't heal.. eventually she got a Derm appointment and they found it when it was incised, fully expecting it to be a cyst.
I get hair splinters on the bottom of my feet in winter! My hairy dog's hairs get stuck in my socks and when I wear my work boots they push into my feet 🥲🥲
As someone who lost my aunt as a child because she grew up in Florida during the 70s and 80s with no sunscreen and ended up with horrible melanoma and lost her battle with cancer I appreciate you speaking up about the importance of it. Thank you ♥️
I’m a huge advocate of protecting your skin; I’m a pale freckly person with polymorphous light eruption syndrome (PMLE). PMLE can cause a varying reaction in people from patches of teeny itchy rashes (like hives kinda?) to full on blisters. My family members always say I need to get into the sun more, and I’m like “why?” So I can burn and increase cancer chances? No thanks, I’m good being a vampire indoors. 💚
@@Gresaaa I agree! It’s just not always possible for me because I never know how my skin will react one day to the next, especially in early spring. Some days 10 mins is all I need to break out in a little rash 😂 so for most people, hell yeah protect yourself and get that sunshine ☀️
@@Gresaaa it’s honestly really hard to not get the beneficial amount of sun exposure even without leaving the house. The amount is so small that unless you live in a basement with no windows, you’ll get a healthy amount of sun exposure (I mean for vitamin d not necessarily for mood)
the sounds on the video of the girl who does like 800000 steps and makes coffee honestly made me violently angry. i can not even describe the level of rage sounds like that make me feel and j just needed to tell someone 🙃
When certain sounds make you irrationally angry it is actually a condition called "misophonia". I recently discovered there is a name for it! I have it and so does my brother. When my husband flosses near me or eats popcorn or when my dog licks herself its all I can do to not freak out. I feel your pain.
Am I the only one who got freaked out from the first video of that crazy guy w/ crispy hair?? Who in the hell would take any type of skincare advice from him!?!? Man lord save these tic tok people they're the epitome of skincare danger & wasting product😖.
@@Nixx0912 me too. Trust me I can't stand tik tok,I literally hate that app & all of the crazy shenanigans that come from it. I know we're not missing out on anything so we're good.
Went to the Epsom Derby a few years ago, I of course wore and reapplied sun screen all day, nagged my boyfriend's to put some on but NOPE. He would not. He blistered. He learned his lesson.
Oh James, I agree the lemon in milk was just revolting!🤢 And I have a friend who religiously went to a tanning salon, she now has 3 melanomas. 🥺. Not that ALL people who go tanning will get a cancer, but just like not using sunscreen, it can happen.
I go tanning LOL. But yea, I don't recommend it to anyone because I know the dangers. My babies get sunscreen and protective gear, though. Please no lectures I know fully what I'm doing to myself lol.
Before doing a deep-dive into skincare last year, I would refuse to wear sunscreen unless I'm going for a swim during the day. That was mostly because I hated the feeling of it on my skin and I hated the smell and I hated the white cast that would appear the moment I start sweating in my humid af country. Now I'm learning just how important it is and how there are so many non-terrible sunscreen options and I'm so glad I got into this community.
At one of my old jobs, my supervisor came home from Florida for vacation and her lips were so blistered because she didn't put sunscreen on her lips. She came into work at 8:30 and they took one look at her and sent her home. The bosses said she had to take sick time until the blisters went away.
From Florida there, I worked retail in my twenties and we could always tell the tourists and when they came from the beaches to shop based on their varying shades of pink! Sometimes even with sunscreen it doesn’t matter how much you reapply, you’ll still get burnt. I’m a natural redhead, so the moon will burn me. 😂😂
Yes! Coola makes one, it’s very nice. They also make a scalp and hair spray with SPF. Also, the worst sun burn I have ever gotten was on a cloudy day, so I can contest to that also.
i’m very very new to doing more than a “wash my face and put on moisturizer” deal with my skincare but it still amazes me that people can use SO MANY products and not have massive breakouts? my skin is v oily and that many products would make me break out so bad
I've gotten "hair splinters " in the bottom of my feet. My dog sheds a lot and some of his hairs thick and sharp. They are so hard to pull out because the hair will break off. I never even thought about hairdressers having this problem a lot.
I live in a 100 year old house with a few other tenants, one of them feeds the squirrels peanuts and now we have squirrels in the eaves/attic of the house 😔 I hear them scurrying at all hours. And the yard is COVERED in peanut shells.
FR! They can do ANYTHING to their skin and it'll likely bounce back no problem, I thought I had bad skin as a teen PSH I'm 30 and now it's fuckin awful. The older their skin gets the less likely it's gonna heal itself from all the damage they're piling on.
Now I have a picture in my head of James as a superhero - flawless skin, sharp wit, dry humor and he's able to shoot small hairs out of his hands to cut the villains into pieces. I'm just not creative enough to give him a good name, but the mental picture I have is pretty funny 😄
There’s just so many products and brands out there it’s overwhelming. I never know what to buy and use. I have sensitive skin, oily, and large pores. Sigh
Look into Paulas Choice 2% BHA LIQUID EXFOLIANT and their Clear line of moisturizers for oily skin. Im an old lady with dry skin, you would not like the products I use. I just think for any amount of money Paulas is the BEST.
@@sra-vns-iivenusii408 ok great, thank you so much! I am 44 so I most definitely look for different products than what’s advertised for younger skin as mine is changing. I appreciate the help hon!
@@justkel1 just jumping in to say both my mum (50) and I (25) use Paula's choice and love it too. The sensitive skin line works great for my fussy skin and mum's been using the anti aging line for years and looks amazing
Feeding squirrels peanuts is ok but to prevent them from becoming dependent on you, you should only give them a few per week. Also, hazelnuts in shell are a much better nutritional option for them.
The girl that popped the blister... YIKES! She went to urgent care and no one told her to NOT pop the blister?! I've gotten a second-degree burn before with a motorcycle, and you're NOT supposed to pop the blister, because the liquid inside is protecting the layer of skin underneath until your skin recovers. Even with me leaving the blister alone, i got a pretty bad scar (a part of my leg is discoloured), I can't imagine what kind of scar she's gonna get from popping it
As an extremely pale girl, I've had so many sunburns in my life, and yes, they can definitely blister without any help from meds. Although my worse my blisters came from using expired sunscreen, which can apparently do the opposite and make you burn worse. I had blisters on my ears, shoulders, back, face, and my arms. It was awful. And yes, it was in Flordia that I burned. Sadly, my mom used to believe very strongly in based tans when I was a kid, so guess who was taken to the tanning salon as younge as eight! And who was encouraged to get a "base tan" at a salon all through out my teen years. I know better now, but it took me until I was nearly 30 before I started using sunscreen regular because I just didn't see why it was so needed for everyday use.
That girl with the bowl of grapes makes my eye twitch! I usually try to wear a ball cap and keep my skin covered as much as possible. I’m real outdoorsy but my skin breaks out if I wear certain spf. Still trying to find a good one.
My grandpa struggled with skin cancer and it ended up going into his bones like his skull. He had parts of his scalp and skull scraped off to keep it at bay. I need to start wearing sunscreen more but I keep forgetting.
Ilysm and thanks for making me feel comfortable in my skin. My 24 year old self can finally wear makeup and not have unrealistic expectations. You and your brother are my absolute favourites'!!!!!!!
I just really appreciate your dedication to explaining how science is good! I wouldn’t be alive right now without great science and medicine, so just thank you for this. Love watching your videos, they’ve helped me create a better skincare routine for myself.
maybe the girl from the 'aesthetic skincare' tiktok has really dry skin but this la roche posay moisturiser is my nighttime routine moisturiser (i have combination skin). its really thicc, it's oh so good, i love it, but thicc so i was surprised when she added that oil to it
Back in the late 90's, I was doing research for a veterinarian medical class paper and came across an article in a nursing journal suggesting part of the explosion in childhood allergies was not playing in dirt such as mud and keeping everything too clean and sanitized. I have to wonder about that too. I don't think playing in normal, back yard mud or bagged soil is really bad and could have exposure benefits...as long as the child doesn't eat it and you inspect the area for animal waste and lawn chemicals first, obviously. I haven't seen any research on it since that article but it would be interesting to explore.
In my younger days i was a hairdresser and remember getting a tiny piece of hair stuck in my foot ,as you say the pain if awful , when i cut hair now for family and friends i always make sure my feet are covered !
Also for the love of all that's good and holy, wear sunscreen! I had a relative die from melanoma because she rarely wore sunscreen. She had a malignant mole removed in the late 90s/early 2000s. They said she was cancer free until it came back 15 years later and spread to her liver and brain. She passed away 6 months after diagnosis.
@@candycolriv yeah sometimes people who aren’t genetically predisposed to things like acne or psoriasis or eczema will have naturally clear skin and so can do whatever they like to their skin.. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I had a horrible jawline breakout this fall. Thanks to your product recommendations I have finally started seeing results. Inkey List, Glow Recipe, and Paula's Choice have helped my skin so much.
2:52 I had never seen something like this! I would be scared to death if one day I woke up with this thing in my face 😭 I didn't know you could get blisters from the sun
Yes hair splinters are pure misery!! I use those sticky tape lint rollers all over Everything after any kind of hair trims in my house, including on the skin. Once you’ve had a hair splinter in your foot you’ll never forget it.
Yes Florida is known for the sun, it's called the Sunshine State. Their beaches are the tourist attraction (other than Disney World) the grape tic tocker was probably near the ocean on her vacay. She should def be using sunscreen!
James has pretty much helped me fix my skin for the most part, unfortunately I am allergic to my workplace so until I leave I think it’s as good as it will get. (I may have rosacea on my forehead as well)
I work in a general surgeon’s office and we get patients with pilonidal cysts all the time, but never seen a pilonidal issue anywhere else before. This was super interesting!
I appreciate how calm you are in the face (no pun intended) of these...incredibly annoying people. You can also get very nice organic sunscreen that is cheap and cheerful.
The girl eating grapes and describing her sun damage story drove me bonkers >.
I agree. Don't talk and chee. Because it's gross, and you can choke.
Ikr, if anything is bad manners, I'm sure someone told her at some point in her life
Thank god it wasn’t just me. She put me in a bad mood.

As someone who suffered from skin cancer.. I can explain exactly how and why it happened.. and sunscreen could have saved me a lot of this..
I hope you're doing better 🙏🥰
I hope you're doings well and are recovering well. Skin cancer is no joke, any cancer for that matter. People tend to unintentionally think they are the exception to harmful situations, and only think about it when something effects them directly.
My friend lost her husband to melanoma. I'm happy you are still with us. 💛
I'm so sorry you went through this. My mother had melanoma, thankfully she caught it early enough to be cured with Moh's surgery. I also ended up having pigmented basal cell carcinoma at the age of 20 in the area where I hinge my hip upwards - the groin-ish area where not a lot of sun shines. And I use lots of sunscreen and cover up because I burn so easily!
I'm always flabbergasted when I hear people advise other people to go out in high-noon sun to get vitamin D, which is when the UV index is at its worst. Idc who you are or what your color is, you avoid high noon sun when the UV index is at a certain level, especially at beaches as the reflection of the sun off sand can double UV exposure. Go out later in afternoons and early morning if you want to get that 15 mins of sun without sunscreen, but then apply, and take a vitamin D supplement. If you had skin cancer or a family history of skin cancer, I'd just avoid going outside without sun protection period. I'm now at greater risk for more basal cell carcinoma and other skin cancers because of this, and sun protection is vital in preventing any more of these cancers from surfacing. It is vital we protect ourselves, friends!
OP, I hope treatment is going well and I hope you recover well!
I will never forget the day a Caucasian woman tried to explain to me how my skin works and that, "black people don't need sunscreen, that's what your dark skin is for, the industry is lying to you, your ancestors were fine without it... " 🙄
Skin cancer doesn't discriminate, everyone should wear sunscreen. Also, hyperpigmentation is best treated with prevention. My mum is 50 and struggles with it now.
You should say hyperpigmentation is best “avoided”with prevention not saying it’s best “cured”, because prevention isn’t used as a cure it’s used as a way to basically stop something from happening before it happens But I get what you mean prevention it’s better than treatment.

I worked in a daycare and one of the things we did was ask the parents to purchase the sunscreen they wanted and have it stay at the daycare. That way, the parents could choose to purchase a specific branded sunscreen. Every parent loved this. I never heard one complaint.
We did NOT go outside without sunscreen or hats for the kiddies. Ages 3-5.
That is so amazing I love that idea
That is great. My mother used ti have to send it with me wherever I went and remind the caretakers to have me out it on.

Felt. It's one of my biggest pet peeves when people talk while they're eating. Idk if she thought that was quirky or funny. It wasn't. Her skin blister story wasn't funny either, it was awful that happened to her.
Regarding the lemon milk dude, he’s from the Philippines (speaking Tagalog), and skin bleaching and whitening is still a big thing here, I grew up with slightly darker skin than most and I was teased a lot. I cannot get a regular soap or lotion without a “whitening” claim on it. A lady at the mall recommended for me her skin whitening product and when I told her I’m not interested, she asked “why?”
True!! It’s the same here in China. I literally check every product to make sure it’s not a whitening product
Same in India! I'm darker than my sister, but slightly wheatish, it's a complexion shade that only exists in India, supposed to define me.. anyway.. everyone always told me to apply more powder so I would appear presentable.
you're beautiful and i hope the mindset changes

Yeah so horrible. I’ve heard under six months should do hats/clothes instead of sunscreen, but after that they should be wearing sunscreen there are SO many baby-safe kinds. A sunburn in the first year of life can like double your risk of skincancer

To all the teens and youth in general: wear sunscreen & retouch if you're in the tropics/ subtropics/in the sun wherever you are. I used to go to my grandparents pool in spf 15, got a bit lazy on the retouching. Sunburn lasted weeks. My family is from S. America but melanin didn't help. Now I use spf 50 even in winter.
Yes your location matters so much and the other part people forget is altitude! Wasn't good about reapplying one day in a higher altitude city and I was so burnt that it made me sleepy and get the chills. I've never gotten blisters though thankfully
@@AB-ez1eh I'd forgotten about that! Thanks for the tip!
ALSO, if your house has big windows, lots of natural light coming in and/or very reflective walls, WEAR SUNSCREEN TO STAY INSIDE. You don't need to reapply as frequently as when you're outdoors, swimming or exercising, but it's good to protect your skin because the sun still affects you.
I've been working remotely for almost two years now and for a few months I ditched sunscreen and oh boy, my skin did not like it, my face was always red from working by a big window lol

It hurt to see that poor baby sitting in the sun and knowing he wasn't protected. When I couldn't tackle my son down to slather him in sunscreen, he was covered with a large hat and/or longer shirts.
True. How can parents ve like that? I've got coloured sunscreens for my kids, so they have fun wearing them.
Truee, back then as a kid we were playing with the sand at the beach, my mom insisted me to wear long sleeves with a hat + sunscreen on face and neck, while my sister refuses it and only got forced to at least apply one time for most parts of her body because sunscreens were so expensive in my country back then. The results were that I was fine and my sister's skin got burned, skins were flakey, red and painful lol

I have also ended up with puffy quilt shoulders. Horrible. You can still see the sun damage on my shoulders 20 years later.

People are dumb and think the sunscreen/skincare industries are out to kill you... even though that would be a very unwise way to run a business, killing your own customers
I went on vacation with my friends family, they kept joking about me using SPF 50 (to note me and her family are both white, I’m just very very pale) well I asked them where their sunscreen was. “Oh we don’t need that, we’re not pale like you” I almost screamed. “How am I gonna work on my tan if I use sunscreen” UGHHHH.

This was the same family on the same vacation who kept jokingly pointing out this same Frozen themed kids sunscreen to me that went to like SPF 150
@@mecha5409 I can't stand these people at all. And then they're gonna be like 'how did I get skin cancer?' when they do stuff like that
I think part of it is the way it feels on the skin. I HATED wearing it when I was younger because the one my mum bought was greasy, sticky, smelly and made my skin feel nasty, and it turned white and peeled off. I wear sunscreen now, but because I'm an adult I can choose a different sunscreen that doesn't feel nasty and sticky on my skin and that I actually like. If I'd had that choice when I was younger, I might've worn it, but it felt so nasty that I hated wearing it.
My mom always told me to wear sunscreen and I did. Well, she overdid when I was younger to the point of me being more pale and not getting a slight tan (not talking about a darker tan), but my friends almost never wore sunscreen. Recently I noticed that their tanned skin looks more wrinkly and you can tell it’s damaged 😅 they are 20 years old… their face is young of course being only 20, but their body (tanned skin)… oh no😭 and shaming others for not being tanned enough/not tanning is so weird.
Also my auntie passed away from skin cancer on her head bc she used to spend every day outside without a hat and had very fine hair, so also wear a hat or something if your hair is fine and the sun is strong (and see a doctor quickly if you find anything, bc she waited so long)
I’m so sorry about your aunt, I know that it can be a scary and sad thing to lose a family member to cancer. This is one of my biggest fears because skin cancer(and cancer in general) is really common in my mom’s side of the family.
That's excellent advice! You can get powder sunscreens that can be brushed over a parting in your hair if you don't want a hat that day
I always wear a hat because I've got a buzzcut. I don't have much hair to protect my poor lil scalp
Thanks James, I'm a Filipino and colorism is very much ingrained in our culture, being colonized by countries that has fairer skin than us pretty much warped our definition of beauty. Like having darker skin tone makes you look poor, or that having a darker skin tone makes you look less pretty, etc, etc. That's why majority of the skin care here pretty much has the word "Whitening". Thankfully this is starting to change, it's really slow but I think there'll be a time where we can all accept the skin that we're born into.
Ive started my first legit skin care routine in my life. I'm 38 and have always had horrible skin. Skin so bad I've always hidden from the world. On the really bad days I even hide from my husband. Covid and masks wasn't a bad thing for me. I could go to town with my face hidden. I didnt know really anything about buying products tho. I tried everything that could be bought at dollar general and most of what was at Walmart. Think st ives, noxema, sea breeze, etc. Yea, it was bad. When u don't know better you won't do better. I ended up giving up and for several years only washed my face with some soap and water while hiding from mirrors. I'd be careful about the faucet in the bathtub, windows, water, anything that I might see my reflection in. Then I found one of your videos. I spent months watching and rewatching videos while taking notes. I then added some of Cassandra's videos. After lots of learning, I ordered some products from sephora. It's taken more than the usually few weeks to see change. Honestly, I was starting to lose hope. A month had passed with nothing and I thought if all this couldn't help me then nothing could. Then this week happened (month 2). I'm seeing change. Noticable change and I don't even know how to feel about it. If anyone else looked at my skin they would still see a mess but it's only bc they dont know what I was dealing with b4. I have a lot of scarring and dark spots along with acne. Even my scarring is showing improvement. My life is seriously about to change and I'm excited and terrified at the same time. I want to take some selfies. I dont have any. I've never taken one or any pics for that matter. I've always ran when cameras come out. I've been legit scared of cameras. Now I wish I would've pushed myself to take a pic when this started so I could show people just how much you've changed my life. I've made a vanity in my bedroom to keep all my stuff and have added a mirror. Tonight when doing my routine I was excited to look in the mirror to see what was going on. A lot of the brown, scarred areas are starting to turn pink and feel much softer than they did. My acne is half of what it was. You have truly been a miracle in my life and I can't thank you enough. You've given me all the info I need to fix my skin for free. You dont even nag for donations. Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to go over to Robert's channel to learn about and buy make up. Ive never worn make up but love it. It's never felt like something intended for me. This is the first time I've felt hopeful about the chance to enjoy make up. If you ever come to an event in the US please let us know in advance. I'd really like to have the chance to meet u and thank u in person. Hopefully by that point I can show off beautiful skin.
hey love, just read your comment on your skincare journey. Hows it going one year later???🤔 I hope you've found the changes to be very healing for you emotionally and physically. Have you had a chance to enjoy makeup yet??? I bet that would do wonders for your self esteem, on things like uneven skin tone and bringing out your best features! Sometimes just a bit of lipstick, blush and mascara can really make a difference! Hope you've come to terms that its ok not to have flawless skin, we all have texture or uneven skin tones in some way. Hugs!💗☺
So glad you’re talking about hair splinters! I get them all the time on my feet from my short haired chihuahua’s fur. People don’t believe that they’re real! It’s like stepping on glass.

The skin bleaching makes me sad. My mother is Filipino, but I live in the US. I started breaking out there because I didn’t have my normal skin care products with me. I bought just a cleanser and moisturizer there and didn’t know it was for bleaching. I went back to the US more sunburned than ever and lighter, even tho it’s a sunnier country

I’m a huge advocate of protecting your skin; I’m a pale freckly person with polymorphous light eruption syndrome (PMLE). PMLE can cause a varying reaction in people from patches of teeny itchy rashes (like hives kinda?) to full on blisters.

Before doing a deep-dive into skincare last year, I would refuse to wear sunscreen unless I'm going for a swim during the day. That was mostly because I hated the feeling of it on my skin and I hated the smell and I hated the white cast that would appear the moment I start sweating in my humid af country.
Now I'm learning just how important it is and how there are so many non-terrible sunscreen options and I'm so glad I got into this community.
I live in Florida and I think you perfectly described our summer climate: intense sun coupled with intense rainstorms!
At one of my old jobs, my supervisor came home from Florida for vacation and her lips were so blistered because she didn't put sunscreen on her lips. She came into work at 8:30 and they took one look at her and sent her home. The bosses said she had to take sick time until the blisters went away.
From Florida there, I worked retail in my twenties and we could always tell the tourists and when they came from the beaches to shop based on their varying shades of pink! Sometimes even with sunscreen it doesn’t matter how much you reapply, you’ll still get burnt. I’m a natural redhead, so the moon will burn me. 😂😂
Florida is the “Sunshine State.” I use a moisturizer with sunscreen everyday here, sunny or not.

The girl that popped the blister... YIKES! She went to urgent care and no one told her to NOT pop the blister?! I've gotten a second-degree burn before with a motorcycle, and you're NOT supposed to pop the blister, because the liquid inside is protecting the layer of skin underneath until your skin recovers. Even with me leaving the blister alone, i got a pretty bad scar (a part of my leg is discoloured), I can't imagine what kind of scar she's gonna get from popping it
Love these segments. There is terrible misinformation out there, thank you for trying to help people tell the difference
As an extremely pale girl, I've had so many sunburns in my life, and yes, they can definitely blister without any help from meds. Although my worse my blisters came from using expired sunscreen, which can apparently do the opposite and make you burn worse. I had blisters on my ears, shoulders, back, face, and my arms. It was awful. And yes, it was in Flordia that I burned.
Sadly, my mom used to believe very strongly in based tans when I was a kid, so guess who was taken to the tanning salon as younge as eight! And who was encouraged to get a "base tan" at a salon all through out my teen years. I know better now, but it took me until I was nearly 30 before I started using sunscreen regular because I just didn't see why it was so needed for everyday use.
That girl with the bowl of grapes makes my eye twitch! I usually try to wear a ball cap and keep my skin covered as much as possible. I’m real outdoorsy but my skin breaks out if I wear certain spf. Still trying to find a good one.
My grandpa struggled with skin cancer and it ended up going into his bones like his skull. He had parts of his scalp and skull scraped off to keep it at bay. I need to start wearing sunscreen more but I keep forgetting.

Back in the late 90's, I was doing research for a veterinarian medical class paper and came across an article in a nursing journal suggesting part of the explosion in childhood allergies was not playing in dirt such as mud and keeping everything too clean and sanitized. I have to wonder about that too. I don't think playing in normal, back yard mud or bagged soil is really bad and could have exposure benefits...as long as the child doesn't eat it and you inspect the area for animal waste and lawn chemicals first, obviously. I haven't seen any research on it since that article but it would be interesting to explore.
Allergies have links to rising pollution levels, and are more common in children in urban areas.
In my younger days i was a hairdresser and remember getting a tiny piece of hair stuck in my foot ,as you say the pain if awful , when i cut hair now for family and friends i always make sure my feet are covered !
I dont use peel off masks. It gives me 'American Psycho' vibes. Makes me feel a little evil. Am I the only one? Lol
The gummy ones are nice, but the standard ones they always get into my brows, it peals off in small bits. It's so annoying to use.
Lol, I started using them because of it.
I like when my face speaks and I say nothing...not really ...but....
Funny, that's why I like using them 😂
I once got sunburn on my eyelids! Through spf50 wearing sunglasses and wearing a hat. It was insane!
Ouch
I get that it’s their aesthetic/vibe/gimmick, but I just cannot with the orange face and over the top extra-ness.
I cried a little when I saw that blister OMG 😭😭
Also for the love of all that's good and holy, wear sunscreen! I had a relative die from melanoma because she rarely wore sunscreen. She had a malignant mole removed in the late 90s/early 2000s. They said she was cancer free until it came back 15 years later and spread to her liver and brain. She passed away 6 months after diagnosis.
Honestly the third video just proves sometimes people look like they have nice skin but have no idea how to actually look after it... 😬
Hm. Actually, doesn’t that prove the opposite? If she truly had, “no idea how to actually look after it..”, wouldn’t she have bad skin then ?🤔
Some people with normal skin type don’t have to do skincare just the basics (cleanse, sunscreen). Those are the lucky ones - fuck them haha
@@candycolriv yeah sometimes people who aren’t genetically predisposed to things like acne or psoriasis or eczema will have naturally clear skin and so can do whatever they like to their skin.. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Nah. Knew a girl that literally just used soap ... no breakouts ever
One time someone hit my sunburn so hard, it boiled up in the shape of their hand. It was horrible 😢
I had a horrible jawline breakout this fall. Thanks to your product recommendations I have finally started seeing results. Inkey List, Glow Recipe, and Paula's Choice have helped my skin so much.
2:52 I had never seen something like this! I would be scared to death if one day I woke up with this thing in my face 😭 I didn't know you could get blisters from the sun
You guys did it to me again dropping videos at the same time! It's James' turn today 😂
The struggle. I went with Robert today but with love to James in my heart♡
Yes hair splinters are pure misery!! I use those sticky tape lint rollers all over Everything after any kind of hair trims in my house, including on the skin. Once you’ve had a hair splinter in your foot you’ll never forget it.
I love the kpop song as into music. I'm always trying to guess the song.
I remember a few years ago I tried so bad to be tanned. My skin got burned and I was like: "Yeah it's turning brown in a few days!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰" 🤦🏽
Yes Florida is known for the sun, it's called the Sunshine State. Their beaches are the tourist attraction (other than Disney World) the grape tic tocker was probably near the ocean on her vacay. She should def be using sunscreen!
James has pretty much helped me fix my skin for the most part, unfortunately I am allergic to my workplace so until I leave I think it’s as good as it will get. (I may have rosacea on my forehead as well)
The mask brand from the first vid is actually amazing. Obviously don’t use it as shown but check out the brand. I recommend the strawberry acne mask!
applying a mask and waiting for it to dry..... literally takes longer than just double cleansing
it's giving Useless Life Hack energy
Your reaction to that squirrel just made my whole day 🐿️🖤
I work in a general surgeon’s office and we get patients with pilonidal cysts all the time, but never seen a pilonidal issue anywhere else before. This was super interesting!
Do you wash your face before every video or is it your moisturizer? You always look SO amazing and shinny ❤
Oh thanks! I will always shower and get ready right before most videos! I’m pretty sure it’s the sunscreen that gave me the glow in this!
@@JamesWelsh which sunscreen, if I may ask? ☺️☺️
afraid of harsh chemicals in sunscreen but probably doesn't avoid processed foods or chemicals in other products
Is Flordia known for being sunny?
Flordia literally known as "The sunshine state" in America 😂😂😂
To be fair I've lived in the US all my life, and I don't even know the, what would you call them, nicknames(?) for most of the states.
It's so dangerous that people who really have no idea of skincare or anything in that area and do tiktoks and people get scared. It's horrific.
I appreciate how calm you are in the face (no pun intended) of these...incredibly annoying people. You can also get very nice organic sunscreen that is cheap and cheerful.
I love that you stan StayC, I love them so much
