skin care is honestly so frustrating
Bria Barrows wooord
likeeee. one minute someone says something is good. the next minute another person is like ‘woahhhhhh. Don’t do this you’ll literally die’. I’m always confused. Like what is the best option THEN?? 😓
@@tatianat604 just do what works for u
@@tatianat604 FACTS and they literally dont give a direct answer... ugh ugh
@@tatianat604 Everybody skin different, just do you, if it works don't change it😊
This is the maddest comment section I’ve ever seen in my life. Why are y’all so mad?! Her age shouldn’t take away from ability to master skin care. She’s actually a licensed esthetician. That means she knows her shit! If you have not had these damaging side effects then good for you. That doesn’t change what the research and science has found. Just use what you can and be done with it.
I don't think you can use this argument. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you or anyone else but this whole "she's a licensed esthetician, she knows her shit" argument holds little water. So she took a 6 month class at a tech school... doesn't make her a chemist!
Some people came here mad because she didn't say what they want to hear. They attack her age because there's NOTHING to attack, so they pretty much create a problem where there isn't one.
@Serenity. Some people that are commenting sound a little jelly to me. ijs 😏 Wow !!! 😮🙃
Exactly. They really love to say their anecdotal evidence is better than science.
She is wrong. These things work. She is pushing her products to get it to sell. Thear is nothing like natural things, u can mix and put on your face like coffee and honey. And baking soda and milk for your hands. Make a paste and put it all over your hands keep on 20 min. Wash with water your hands will feel like velvet. Then use coconut oil or olive oil.try it and it's natural. If you aregoing to help people tell them what works. Not buy expensive products thats going to get u poor. We are poor enofe already. Thank u.
I really don't get the thought process of people telling a licensed esthetician that she's wrong when it comes to her field of study.
Rodrigo the fact that they use some of these tactics and see beneficial results. No differently than you have to take a Doctors advice and do what’s best for you as with cancer patients. Doctors don’t recommend holistic treatments yet some people are alive and well after choosing this as their treatment path. If you can refute a physician then you can refute an esthetician. Oh and the fact that nobody’s face has fallen off. There’s that.
One reason is because she contradicted herself. One breath she stated "these items will make your face fall off" and the next breath she stated "it may work for some but not all" You cant have both. And lets be clear I may read something and my understanding of it may be totally different than yours, who's Right? Just because someone is licensed doesn't mean they truly understand/comprehend what they are doing. For her to contradict herself Im personally giving a side eye
@@candicegilbert8268 agreed... Then to contradict and explain there's a proper way to use them... As with the tea tree oil. Is it terrible or is there a proper usage?
@@cherryh7963 Exactly her approach and delivery was all wrong. She stated some useful suggestions, but as a whole Im not taking everything she said and running with it.
@@cherryh7963 d...do you really believe that your vegan crap will save a cancer patient? Oh my god. You're probably an anti-vaxxer too. The US is doomed. Cancer is a defect in your cell reproduction no amount of cocoa butter or fruit juice will stop that or else nobody had cancer. The people that survive this crap are simply in denial. Holistic treatments are a scam and they cost lives literal human lives and I've witnessed it.
POV: You’re looking for the comments that disagree with her
ACV saved my hair and scalp. That shit works so good. Idgaf what she says lol. I don't use it on my face but I know for a fact it's safe. Lemon juice isn't good though. Idk why but raw ACV is actually good
How did acv help you? Was it for dandruff?
maggy tito yeah I’ve used on my skin ( with baking soda) and hair and it does good, many people believe that if something has high acidity means it’s dangerous to the skin but that’s just a bit off, people have to know what your doing
I wasn't lol! I was however looking to see other people thriving so I can wish I was them because my face looks like shit xD
Yes
Why are people acting like she's anti-natural ingredients in the comments? She literally named a bunch of other alternatives that would work (probably better) then the things she said not to use. Im saying this as someone who used to love coconut oil and physical sugar scrubs. I use less harsh exfoliators and better oils and my skin is in the best shape it's ever been. People are so dense 😑
Thank you!!!
These comments are so weird. She's literally is giving you guys Natural Alternatives that are BETTER for your skin lmao are you guys even watching the video
Ihinosen Akhagba LoL no they just reading comments
@Liz bth So true
Licensed cosmetologist over here. Coconut oil does not penetrate the hair shaft. The molecules are too large. Coconut oil should not be used directly on the hair. It has better use on the scalp.
The LyfeStylist thank you!
What is it’s benefits on the scalp? If it clogs pores on the face, won’t it do the same on the scalp?
The Golden Rx it’s good for dry scalp and/or itchy scalp, or can be used for scalp treatments in the pre-shampoo state. A lot of people miss the step of taking care of their scalp when it comes to their hair care.
The LyfeStylist i was watching like nooooo tell them to stop putting it on their hair too! Lol i find it’s ok balanced in a product mixed by a chemist as a lot of natural hair products do have coconut oil in them but raw or mixed at home is a no no and coconut oil shares some of the same properties as protein which over time can cause dryness to the hair yes there is such a thing as too much protein for the hair the hair requires a good balance between moisture and protein
Niani B. Exactly! And a lot of these lines can’t get even get it right because they watched 50 million youtube videos and decided to create a “natural” product line. Like I really wish people would stop putting oils and butters on their hair.
Bottom line is everyone’s skin is different and reacts differently to products . These things might work for some and not others
I agree with you 100%
Besides, we are what we eat so...
But some things (what she mentions in the video) will damage you slowly and surely, even if you don't see it and you think it works. PH levels are critical points and even if they slightly differ from a person to another, if something is damaging, it's still going to harm regardless of that slight variation.
Sihle Soldati exactly
Exactly i use most of dis product and it works
right . baking soda in natural deodorant burns my armpits , but doesn't give some others any problems at all ... our grandmother's have been putting things on their face for 80 years that this girl or whomever may consider dangerous , but they look fantastic
Thumbs up if you have done at least half of these before???
I have done all not even half hhahaha
I've done all
I am in my 40s... and I have beautiful flawless skin.... I people ask me all the time a out my skin... and I don't wear any make up at all...I don't know about that helmets glue though... but all the other treatment I do use from time to time... I know at least 100 Caribbean .Jamaican and Indian people with beautiful skin and they are older and have very nice skin... I do use most of the other alternatives she mentioned... but I have always had bad results with products that were not natural... they just make my skin itch and also make up like foundations and powders... I think every body skin is different due to different blood types..
Good video .. thanks for uploading
Coconut oil definitely clogged my pores. I broke out like crazy.
Try the unrefined, expeller pressed, organic type. It does not have a 4/5 comedogenic rating (the possibility of causing acne). Additionally, most people don't REALize vegetable oil in your diet, IS WORSE than coconut oil, as it causes a lot of problems, such as sterility, cancer, etc., BUT for your skin...ACNE. I have come to the conclusion, with 6 years if research under my belt, for my hair/skin care line, vegetable oil, the most popular oil, which is widely used in not only personal food BUT also millions of restaurants, IS THE MAJOR CAUSE of most acne problems....IN THE WORLD!
Same
@@MissFaevyn Nothing works for everyone. I can't handle ANY oils on my face but I use coconut oil on my hair and body. (It also makes great lube because it's anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-fungal)
😂🤣😂i was in such denial until i saw this video!!! It totay did!! my poor face
Coconut oil cleansing works amazing for me
Watching this with a lemon mask on. feeling personally attacked

Myesha Skye lol
Myesha Skye 😂😂😂
lemon isn't bad for your skin. the difference in ph isn't gonna do much. the permeability of hydroxyl acid on the skin cells is not high enough to do any real damage. I'm so surprised she didn't mention alcohol as something bad for the skin, because that is the real thing people should be worried about. Alcohol will literally break down the collagen and structural lipids of the cell membranes in your skin- so stear clear of any wash, toner or moisturiser that has ethanol in it. Ethanol is a short-chain alcohol. The only alcohol that is good for your skin are long-chain alcohols. You can google short-chain and long-chain alcohol to see what products are good and bad for the structure of skin cells.
As for the photosensitivity after lemon/lime- its true. But just wear a spf50 that day and you'll be fine. No big deal.
I'm not a cosmetologist or a dermatologist, but I do have some basic cell biology under my belt and that's enough for me to know lemon ain't gonna ruin your skin.
Haahahahahaha
I think you'll be alright. If you get a reaction then you'll know better for next time right? Same as with any product an aesthetician/ cosmetologist or even a licensed medical professional provides.
I spent over 2000$ last year on dermatologist consultation, their recommendations and treatments and my skin was at it’s worst. This year I decided to use natural products instead and my skin looks and feels healthier
I spent way too much on 2 different aestheticians n my skin was the worst it’s ever been! Constant break outs and the aggressive extractions left me scarred baaaad😫
I had the same reaction to chemically based recommended products from a dermatologist. Once I started using some natural products, my skin feels and looks a lot better. I am one of the one's who used raw coconut oil and actually saw and felt a difference in my skin versus using over the counter products. I am not saying she's right or wrong, but everyone's skin is different. I also heard other estheticians highly suggest avoid using benzo peroxide ingredients to treat acne.
I truly recommend naturally made products like a simple activated charcoal soap.
I agree. They want you to buy all these stuff that cost a lot and have so much chemicals that makes your skin worse. I agree that all these things in excessive are bad. Yet, I believe shes just trained to sell products. They just know what market products are amazing or not good for the skin. I dont believe they know about food and organic stuff you make at home.
I totally agree with you. My skin is line free soft and supple only using my natural products.
omg when the coconut oil rage was happening I tried it on my face and broke out so bad!! I was like I do not understand the hype and never tried it again lol
I found that, although it felt so wonderful and emollient at first, it eventually seemed to dry out my already dry skin. Is this common? Either way, I won't be using it on my skin like that again.
for me it's amazing. it's been one of the best ways to cleanse my face i've ever found; I know it sounds counter-intuitive to put oil in your face to clean it, but oil dissolves oil and allows you to remove all the dirt and sebum from your pores. the problem is when you don't remove the oil well enough afterwards and it clogs your pores, but this actually doesn't happen for everyone either. so yeah it's a huge hit or miss deal, either it helps you a lot or f**ks you up
I never use any kind of oil on my face, but using it on my legs and arms makes them sooo smooth and nice!!
same i cant stand that evil stuff.
Jillian Zwada Same, I literally stopped counting at 29 pimples, that's exactly what it did, caused pimples. I was told by RUclips University pupils my skin was purging, allow it to happen. Shiiiiit, I stopped using it.
Who TF thought it’d be okay to put Elmer’s Glue on their face?! 🤦🏾♀️
TreseyB it was a trend in Pinterest for a while as a “non-toxic” peel off mask
White people
Edith Mendoza Smh. 🤦🏾♀️
The same people who put it on their hands in elementary school
ryan tabb Nah. All of us aren’t that stupid.
I don’t understand why people are arguing with a licensed esthetician over skincare.... like she said just because something does work for you doesn’t mean it will for everyone. Also there is a lot of data out there to back up her claims such as baking soda being disastrous to the ph levels and skin barrier, lemon creating heightened photo sensitivity and irritation etc. also just because something doesn’t sting , burn or show an immediate reaction doesn’t mean it’s not doing damage.
Zach tbh I’d rather take advice from a dermatologist. An esthetician probably had more knowledge than we do but I doubt they have the years of studying skin chemistry and what really goes on. My mom worked with “estheticians” who just did cool sculpting and facials.
This is absolutely so inaccurate. Plenty of other dermatologists and you tubers who are licensed for skincare such as Susan Yara have stated that the Indian healing clay mask is very beneficial for the skin with acv mixed in. Please don’t listen to someone who spells apple cider vinegar as avc(go to 8.56 mins)
She an esthetician ... not a dermatologist . So your argument is useless .
@@jamesbunting4622 bentonite clay (which is the main ingredient of the mask you're talking about) is perfect for apple cider vinegar. match made in heaven... specifically because the two go through a chemical reaction that balances the ph. Apple cider vinegar *BY ITSELF* is indeed too acidic for your skin!
@@nylala734 that's why I dilute it and always you something basic before hand. It is working great for it really just depends on how sensitive your skin is. That's why you have to dilute it.
Am totally done with this skincare nonsense 🤦🏽
One moment you think you got it, next thing someone comes and says you got it all wrong.
I'll just use whatever soap I find in the counter and chill, am so done mehn😣
Bro ikr✋😭
I feel like whatever works for you but to always listen at your skin and body. A lot of these diys were around long before. The warnings are valid though so I'll just be cautious about it but acv really has been a life saver for me
Amen
Is really hurting
I feel you i’ma just let my skin do it’s thing😕🚶🏽♀️
I can use coconut oil on my skin everyday without breaking out. When I use it I notice my complexion is better. That is just MY skin and I can only speak for me like you said it can break out most but not all.
Same
Same been using African black soap and coconut oil afterwards for moisturizer for a year+ and I won’t be changing my routine for anything. It works for me to help me with clear skin.
ThatChick Disha exactly a lot of these shoes complaining about not knowing what she's speaking on everyone's skin and hair is different I've used the glue and charcoal mask every week for years and haven't had any issues whatsoever. I also use aloe vera as a masc and no issues it's also been scientifically proven to heal scars and has numerous nutrients in it so how she saying it's just a humectant is hilarious. To each their own though I guess.
I feel like Coconut oil is a 50/50 chance. For some people it really works and for others it’s the opposite
ThatChick Disha i better like it on my body, it best suits me there. For face i use clay, sandalwood and rose water and nothing else.
People assume anything that’s natural, must good for your skin!?! Poison ivy is natural.. would you put that on your face?! Loved this video!!
@Angel sweet Exactly and everybody is different. Makeup has toxic harmful ingredients and majority pale face individuals HAVE to wear it daily. Sorry, not sorry. It's the truth... I love my brown skin with no blemishes.
Makeup Authority If Poison Ivy was in makeup you'd still wear it, you wouldn't walk out the house in your natural skin. It might as well be in it ...the ingredients in makeup aren't natural or healthy AT ALL but YOU STILL WEAR IT.
@@DivineSoul999 FACTS! Pretentious sons of bxtches. Including the child in the video. She's always wearing makeup (distasteful choices too) despite claiming to specialize in skin care and I can see her imperfections beneath her face paint so why the hell would I listen to her? 🤣
Raggedy weave as well.
Does poison ivy brighten skin ? Then yes . If it kills welp I didn't know I was imortal
@@NellenelleForSure I mean.....whos face is perfect
She is 100% right and so many people are dense and in denial. I used to apply apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, lemon and scrub with sugars and my skin was inflamed and I got hyper pigmentations or dry flaky skin or pimples. She is recommending other natural ingredients that are neutral on the pH scale. Aswell as recommending serums and replacements that are extracted from natural products. And for the people who hates on “chemicals in skincare” “our ancestors used natural”. Yeah well our ancestors didn’t suffer from polluted air back then or wear heavy makeup and didn’t need to use anything to begin with. Moreover our skin is exposed to alot of chemicals on the daily, such as chemicals and pollutions in the atmosphere and in our makeup. And for the skin to be cleansed off of these bad chemicals that we are exposed to on the daily, we have to actually use some chemical skincare and not natural because they will not remove all of these chemicals and dirt off of your faces. And thats the tea. Educate yourselves before attacking someone who is educated on the matter and stop being ignorant just to have a point.
I agree with you......
Either way, most stuff in skincare products are bad for us as well. I use makeup (occasionally) and every night I oil cleanse with coconut/olive oil, steam my face with a washcloth and then toner. And my face is pretty clear save for the a little pimple that pops up like once every 2 months. So not saying I'm right, but you're not right either. Sometimes, less is more. AND let me clarify, I'm not arguing against her. In fact, I agree with most of them, like mixing glue in a mixture and calling it a face mask, like please.
Yes I got hyperpigmentation from this stuff , I can’t even begin to explain how frustrating it is
cam i steaming your face is actually bad for you and doesn’t do anything at all. The fact that people claim that “it opens pores and allows product too soak in” is ridiculous , I mean come on! Pores do not dilate that is absolutely not how the Anatomy of the face works . Steaming your face actually strips your pores of sebum and can lead too TEWL , to make it worse people add “serums” right after which are actually humectants which pull water from the lower layers of the skin barrier and hydrate the surface layer . The problem with this is that water evaporates thus leaving your face dry and dehydrated. your pores look bigger after steaming because your face is inflamed and irritated! Furthermore washing with coconut oil and olive oil can actually irritate the skin , olive oil and coconut oil are plant derived and it may seem that its benefiting your face but in the long run you may actually develop an allergy too these ingredients on top of that if those are the only products you are using too clean your face your toners doing most of the IF any cleaning work by mopping up a portion of the sebum on your face. which is probably why you haven’t had a bad reaction yet . these
Ingredients are proven too clog pores and it may not irritate you but in the long run you may end up doing long term damage too your face .
@@Kyrabri same my face is dry and dehydrated my pores are clogged and constant dark marks it's horrible even makeup can't cover them I wish I never put coconut oil as a makeup remover and baking soda, peels and diy face cleansers or peels and makeup removers. I can't even get a moisturizer to work properly anymore.
You are the only esthetician I've seen so far actually talk about SUGAR and the very damaging glycation process! I've only seen Dr. Anthony talk about this too. And it's so important in my opinion. I know for a fact I have aged my face so much because of sugar, I can feel it as a sugar addict the dryness in my face and around my eyes, when I wake up from a sugar binge. My face just looks so poor. But no one talks about this, this is a real process that happens, and eating it is the worst!
Yep. Lord help me cut my sugar addiction. It makes you gain weight and turn your truth as well
@@mssha1980 I honestly wish and hope to cut way back
@@mssha1980 false
This is so me😭. My skin feels soft, but it's dry, flaking in certain areas and black spots come and go. I keep telling myself I should reduce all the brownies, sweets and fizzy drinks, but the cravings kick in 😩, and I indulge. Im not a big skin care person, but I want my skin to be healthy internally and externally, I just don't want to become obsessed with clear skin.
several years ago, i cut sugar and also white/refined/processed carbs out of my diet (or at the very least WAY way down) due to diabetes running in my family. i have experienced so many unexpected other health benefits (eg. less joint pain and less mood swings, just off the top of my head) it's amazing. but i also started getting compliments on my skin, which i'd never gotten before, and i hadn't done a thing to change my skincare regimen in that whole time. so yes, cutting out sugar and processed carbs from your diet makes a HUGE difference!
People in the comment section big mad
You will take coconut oil from my cold, dead, moisturized hands.

I dilute the acv with water and then put it on my face. Works really well for a toner.
i just want a bob ducan daddy yes it does and gets rid of acne spots.
Same
i just want a bob ducan daddy i totally agree too
i just want a bob ducan daddy. Do u use half n half acv and water?
What's acv?
Most anyone that uses ACV dilutes it. Meaning they reduce its acidity to a level that doesn't hurt the skin. This was her literal point at 8:32. Distilled water with it works great. I don't think she understands a lot of people don't use it raw.
Am so relieved by ur comment. I thought vinegar would hurt my skin even if it’s diluted. Thank you.
Yeah, that's what I've seen too. I wish she would have touched on diluting the acv. Just like she did with the tea tree.
Love how she says “don’t listen to random people about diy skin care” and here she is a random person who popped up in my feed telling me what to not to do and what to do. Personally I use coconut oil on my face to remove makeup. I use it on my scalp per my hairdresser’s directions. I’ve made countless face masks and body scrubs.
Lizabeth McCool I think she means well and I agree with you. What’s interesting is she like most estheticians aren’t properly trained as a chemistry student. I’ve noticed esthetician only explain basic analytical progress but never fully explain or break down all the science related difference. Lol it’s annoying. What she neglects to realize is with facial oils like coconut oil will only ever stay on top layer of your skin and never reach down and penetrate the lower levels of your skin (no real skin care can do that anyways) coconut oil isn’t the best but it isn’t terrible for you. She doesn’t understand the actual science about it. It’s fine to use if your skin doesn’t get irritated by it. She also mentioned how alcohol in skincare is something to avoid like in toners. She’s completely wrong because there is good alcohol and bad alcohol (3 difference types) and she doesn’t even mention this at all. Etc. i do agree baking soda is terrible because it is, actual lemons are too and apple cider vinegar is just as bad.
Lizabeth McCool lol I was thinking the same thing.
Well, she has went to school for skin care, and that is her business so that makes her less random.
Trina Henderson it is totally random when you don’t even watch skin c are crap on RUclips and this shit pops up. Random.
I love coconut oil too, but it would break my skin out due to the oil. I use it on my hair and body products. I looooove it.
Aloe masks reduced a stubborn patch of hyper pigmentation on my face, I swear by it.
Kerry Berry I believe you!!
Same here
SAME. I HAD A BUNCH OF ACNE SCARS ON MY FOREHEAD AND ALOE ELIMINATED THEM ALL.
Could you enlighten me on what aloe mask you used and how? I have hyperpigmentation on my neck and it’s hell getting rid of
I have hyperpigmentation around my mouth, enlighten me please
I had cystic acne for 10 years. UNTIL I used diluted ACV for a toner, and baking soda as an exfolient. Been using it for 7 years. I listen to results, not what someone on RUclips says.
Miranda Aldred how did you use the baking soda?
Absolutely! I spent thousands on skin care and nothing worked. I took the natural route, but I use white vinegar instead of ACV and my skin has been amazing for the past 3 years.
Miranda Aldred not everyone is able to do that method but I agree how some RUclipsrs do know what tf be talking about...
cjodigo white vinegar with what?
But everyone is different 🤷♀️ she’s speaking to the majority.

Can you PLEASSEE do a video on what skincare products sold are safe and unsafe? I’ve heard that even some luxury brands use things that are harmful to your skin and it’d be cool if you would do different products at different price ranges that are and aren’t harmful please ❤️❤️❤️
TheTorridTaurus absolutely that’s super important thank you!
all of them
In luxury products, I avoid ingredients like gold. It's rubbish :P
Avoid Parabens. Ewg ( environmental working group) has rating on product safety .
Avoid skincare with gold, it clogs pores. Many luxury products are also heavily fragranced so be careful with that as even hardy skin can be irritated by it over time. Also try and avoid facial scrubs with things like sugar/coffee grounds/etc. in them as they will actually give you micro-tears, opt for gentle chemical exfolients instead (you could also use man made scrubbing beads but those are usually bad for the environment).
Apple cider vinegar keeps my skin really clear and doesn't dry it out!
Nikki Nichols Me too!
+ Nikki Nichols and + iGoldenPineallpeii Gamming, How do you use it? Undiluted, it will burn the skin.
same here, it works well on my face too. My hair also.
Loran Hunt hair!?
Shit! I use tea tree oil as a makeup remover.
Girl you cray! I have used baking soda to exfoliate my face, I diy body sugar scrubs with oil, avocado or coconut oil. I swear by apple cider vinegar. It got rid of acne scaring on my daughter’s face and back. A couple swipes on a face pad diluted with water is all that’s needed. I rather use what God has provided then use man made chemicals in my skin everyday. So on some of these you missed the mark.
Livingboldlynfierce hi i started using apple cider vinegar as a toner i have dark spots from acne will it help me to remove them?
Blazing Demon absolutely. You have to be patient and diligent when using apple cider vinegar. But it will get rid of acne scaring. I also take it for weight loss but, but that’s a whole subject I won’t get into. Lemon, turmeric and baking soda work well for getting rid of acne scarring too. She’s wrong. I wouldn’t use all three at one time though and I’d dilute with a little water until I got use to which ever one I chose. Rose hip oil at night will help too. Just a little goes a long way and check and see if it pore clogging first and it’s light weight. I don’t believe it is if I recall correctly from my reading. I use it religiously and it smooths and evens my skin. Also it anti aging. Lastly, no matter what we put on our skin if we aren’t healthy from the inside it shows on our skin. So eat good food and drink lots of water. Couldn’t help myself with that tip. It’s the mother in me. Hope I didn’t over step.
Blazing Demon ok I can only answer based on what you’re telling me. I’m not sure if you have oily, dry, normal or combination skin. I’m not sure if it’s acne prone. I will tell you this. My daughter uses black African soap on her body to shower and on days that she has heavy volleyball training and may need to wash her face three times, she’ll use it as her second wash. However, she doesn’t do this to her face every day because it can be drying to her skin. So if it makes you feel dry it may not be something you want to use everyday. Only when you feel excessively oily. Maybe twice a week. If you’re using black soap and then following with acv as a toner then washing with oil, you are over washing and therefore, drying your skin. This can have the opposite affect that you want and cause more acne or breakouts. You always want to be gentle with your skin.
If I were you I’d get a gentle exfoliating scrub like Cetiphil or Neutrogena. Something mild and gentle to begin with. I’d then dilute a cotton pad with water and apple cider vinegar and use as a toner. I’d then moisturize with an oil free moisturizer or a lighter oil. Castor and hemp are kinda heavy. Rosehip, almond, grape seed are lighter. Once a week I’d do a clay mask like bentonite clay or charcoal mask. Biore’ has a good one. Steam facial are good to open the pores and clean out impurities once a week too. Also, mask that come in those packages and have the eyes and mouth cut out are great too. My daughter recently discovered that her skin responds well to those. But you have to know what kind of skin you have in order to know what to target when buying those. Sometimes based on how your skin is feeling it’s ok to exfoliate wash at night and only clean with a wash cloth in the morning. Then follow with a toner and moisturizer. You have to decide if and when you need to do this. I really can’t say. It’s about getting to know and love your skin. As you learn more about what it likes and doesn’t like you’ll know what it needs. I hope this helps.
Livingboldlynfierce i have oily acne prone skin i will stop using the african soap that much I really like the castor oil and hemp oil they make my skin feel great i will use them as cleansing and for moisturizing i also have a face scrub that is really gentle with my skin i will use that to clean my face everyday when i wake up and use Apple cider vinegar for toner
Livingboldlynfierce i want to keep everyting simple and natural for now my skin is not that bad i just want to get rid of my acne scars i hate them had them for 3years i still get pimples i had a big zit on my forehead last week and thats why I decided to start a routine to clear my skin ive went to dermatologist before but the things they gave me are so harsh to the skin and i have read so many things that the skin gets addicted to the products and when u stop using them the acne comes even worse
Well we all have different skin types. Most of these natural remedies works for me & I'm happy & thankful for those who uploaded it .
baking soda work wonders for my skin ...I have baby soft skin at 60 no wrinkles lines
Another product I hate seeing in skincare is 'natural perfumes' like lavender. Perfumes have no real business being in skincare, and as someone with sensitive skin it irritates my skin.
Jeannette Perez lavender essential oil? or lavender perfumes ? i’ve heard of lavender being a hydrating essential oil. is there another kind ???
You have to dilute the oil and it's fine but perfumes on the face can irritate the skin.
Lauren Solano lavender is not hydrating. Only water based products can be hydrating.
Good to know lol. I saw an article saying using it on split ends is good but I'm glad I asked a pro before listening to a dumb article.
Lavendar EO (no matter how diluted) gives me such bad hives. IDK, I think people are too relaxed when it comes to essential oils because those things can mess up your skin!
I was hesitant about watching this because I’m guilty of a lot of these things lol! I appreciate how informative and thorough you were and the fact that you mentioned alternatives for the things mentioned! ❤️❤️
Coconut oil makes my skin looks good. I see me even looking younger. It really depends on the skin type.
My skin has gotten way better since I’ve switched to natural products. How can something that’s natural be worse than chemicals in a factory.
Moriah Johnson while I agree natural is way better I will say chemicals aren't invented in a factory. Factories simply mix the natural chemicals that occur in earth and make solutions just like we do with diys and sometimes the mixes become over complicated or are not suitable for our bodies. For example I see a lot of people in the comments saying mix bentonite clay with water instead of acv. That is terrible for your skin you should always mix bentonite clay with something acidic like acv fo neutralize it because it is very basic. We can easily mess up using natural ingredients too
She- she literally mentioned a) that some of those should just not be used by themselves and are fine if you dilute them b) natural products at the end of the video that are safe to use. Work on your listening comprehension skills
Natural always = better is BS. Arsenic is natural but you don't see me using it. Some natural ingredients are irritants. However many products that have gone through lab testing have removed the irritants or have very minimal formulas using molecules taken from natural ingredients with the not so good bits removed
XXLYS the arsenic is the most dumnass argument and im so sick of it.
Aurora Eve eh sure, that was my purposefully snarky answer, but honestly there's a fair chance that both 'natural' and carefully made skincare products can give someone a reaction.
People have allergies to all kinds of things, including natural ingredients. Some natural ingredients are incredibly irritating (certain essential oils, volatile plant extracts etc)
And equally there are synthetic ingredients that other people's skin disagrees with and no, these issues don't immediately crop up more often with synthetically derived ingredients.
I don't deny that some raw ingredients can work well for some, but others are just bad news in their pure form. It helps to know the science behind both.
When people start looking up what the ingredients in skincare really are, from a scientific source (like ingredients directories - Beautypedia and the sources they use can be very informative and LabMuffin has a great video on natural skincare from a scientific perspective), you realise that what's in products that have gone through refinement or have been through a lab actually contain useful things. Like emulsifiers, ingredients that stabilise or enhances the other and helpful preservatives that elongates shelf life. And as said, a lot of those do come from natural sources, but only the effective bits have been selected.
Don't listen to random internet people about skincare
Wtf do you think I'm doing
Grell Sutcliff tbh this is the best comment on this video
Grell Sutcliff don’t listen to unlicensed random internet people about skincare! Lol

Watching a video made bye wa licensed professional esthetician. What do you think you're doing?
Now I'm paranoid she came for the Apple Cider Vinegar, AND Tea Tree oil.
@Sequoiah Dreams only horrible if you dont dilute the tea tree oil 1-9
She said tea tree oil is fine just pair it with almond oil
@Sequoiah Dreams tea tree oil wash very harsh for my skin and peeled off my skin!!
Tea tree oil is something I use to dry out my healing piercing when it gets irritated, it's definitely too strong to put straight on your face. She's right about diluting it.
Well there's still tons of other ways you can use those without applying it to your face. Apple cider also helps out with weight loss and I think it can be applied to your hair but don't quote me on that. Also tea tree oil is most noted to help hair and with aroma therapy.
When I drink lots of water and eat fruits and vegetables, my skin looks great. But I only know what works for me.
Katie von Gremp same here
@@moniquejackson7397 I love the name Monique.
Bruh, I do the same and my skin is still bad.
@@treasure7278 Bruh, I would love to help you. I am not a professional, and skincare people are probably not allowed to go back to work. Have you done this? Order Vitamin A in oil or gel form. Mix it with jojoba oil, and put it on your face. A very thin layer. The skin needs to breathe. Also, every time you sweat, clean again and apply moisturizers, etc. Try these things. Give it some time. Also, and I know this sounds strange, but talk to the cells of your body. Thank them for keeping you healthy. Tell them you know how powerful they are. Thank them for helping you with your skin. It works. It might feel strange at first, but keep doing it until it feels right. Know your skin is going to get better. Create a mantra. "I know my skin is getting better every day. I love my skin." Something like that. Say it until it becomes your new belief. It works. Lastly, and most importantly, love the way you look NOW. If you only focus on what you don't like, you'll just keep getting more of the same. Sounds weird, but who cares. People thought the world was flat. Turns out that weird Galileo dude was right.
Katie von Gremp Thank you
I make natural cosmetics and soaps, and I agree with what you said for the most part, but some of these ingredients are very helpful ingredients for certain applications for the skin care ingredients- I guess my point is for the viewers of this video; don’t DIY anything until you have a reliable ph tester.NEVER use any of these as a leave on product on the face, and never use them at full strength. I use SB as a ph adjuster, along with citric acid if I need to adjust in that direction of course always using my ph meter to make natural products designed for my clients personal ph.
Also, soap is very alkaline and that might be something to add to your list of don’t put this in your face; real soap; while a wash off product isn’t the greatest facial cleanser and when clients come to me with acne over washing with soap is a common culprit. Bentonite clay, a little glycerin and a few drops of peppermint EO makes a great spot treatment and all over mask for acne prone skin.
Thank you so much or making this video because it definitely needed be be addressed. 💜
I use an olive oil and sugar mix once a week and it makes my face SO SOFT. I can't believe it's actually bad for me!! I'll just use it for my body now
The olive oil makes your skin soft, not the sugar. it's way too abrasive.
Me after washing my face with coconut oil
**chuckles** *_im in danger_*
I use it to take eye makeup off but I wash my face throughly after. 🤷♀️
you in danger, girl
Wearing makeup is worse than using coconut oil. Makeup companies are making soooo much money causing skincare issues for everybody #1 ACNE!

@@liveyourbestsoftlife5705 Only white people.... Black people age gracefully. 😍
I'm a cosmetic chemist and a esthetician... I cannot tell you the craziness I've seen and heard. Girl you are preaching.
Now, can you tell me what your education is and what you do daily in your job? Apparently, I'm really great at chemistry and one of my teachers want me to change my major to biochemistry. Personally, I think the science is boring, but I enjoy the labs, and I'm at an age where I'm wondering if I should do something I'm good at and gives decent pay, even though it might be boring. I would like to know what daily work is like for chemists.
Personally, I use every product that you named at least once a week. Not the toothpaste. The natural way personally for me gives my skin that youthful and glowing skin. I scrub with a lemon and baking soda combo everyday. It is the bomb! I use ACV as my toner. Definitely using coconut oil to remove my makeup. I have been doing this routine for 15 years. I had acne, cystic acne, blackheads, and scars. Girl my face is on point. Don't believe me; head over to my channel. To anyone watching videos always do your own research. There is a reason 40islit. 🌞🌞🌞
Yes ma'am.... Natural is always the best way to go!
Thankyou
Yup it all works for me minus the tooth paste lol. My face does get pretty annoyed with coconut oil tho lol
Honestly, having the title of a professional does not mean what you say is the truth for everyone's experiences. Ugh
Kat Lott smh
The key is PH balance!
Yessssssss I was saying this throughout the whole video
Exactly...its not that the ingredients are bad, they just shouldn't be used in their raw form without balancing their PH.
You really know your stuff. No waffling just straight to the point.
i’m only 17 & i was misled and used baking soda on my face several dozen times throughout last year and my skin has undoubtedly aged..
Omg sorry to hear that. I would recommend find a simple natural skincare routine. However do a detail research and see what match your skin type.
Yes acv is acidic but when mixed with the Indian healing clay mask the bentonite clay brings the pH back up to a more neutral level
yes!! it feels more drying with only water
I was just about to ask this so thank you
Yes this is the only time i use it
this is exactly what i was wondering... like, do i need to dilute my aztec clay mixture?
@@Leticia-fh6rf i have oily-combination skin, and whenever i do use the mask i just use acv and it doesn't burn or itch or anything, whether its when i put it on or when i take it off. never leave it fully dry.
Well vinager works like a toner for me before using it my skin was falling off so it balanced my ph i guess it works FOR ME
👏👏👏EXACTLY! 😂😂
Me too. My face actually went nuts after moving to the city water system. The apple cider actually cleared it and balanced it very well. I use it as a toner and a clay mask. Less oil, feels great, break outs gone.
right acv cleared my cystic acne and scares
zenminn _jimin plz step on my face lol wait for your 40's
pH shoud ALWAYS be written with a big H because it stands for Hydrogen or just H+ :))
*These are my extra added comments on stuff she mentioned cuz I've used everything mentioned and she does in fact have a point*
_i came back and edited a few things_
Coconut oil: it does clog pores. if you do use it on your face use it as a cleanser (never as a moisturizer) don't leave it on for long. Avoid your eyes cuz its oils and by default greasy. Most people have skin that doesn't like it and it may cause cystic acne (happened to me).
Salt and sugar: I used this and I don't recommend the salt. Sugar is fine for some people as a light scrub used infrequently. Edit: unless you have strong skin don't do this at all. You a chemical exfoliant.
Lemon: Dilute it. If you have sensitive skin, don't use it at all. Don't use it in the sun, wear sunscreen after. There are people who I know who have used lemon on their face for ages and have been completely fine with it. But I don't recommend this.
Baking soda: I don't recommend this. While it may cause acne to go down, when I used it it made my acne darker and dry out. Cystic acne will just turn darker and come back TT.
Apple cider vinegar: dilute it. Dilute it. Dilute it. It can work miracles but no matter what skin type you have you must dilute it. Sensitive skin especially can cause burns. Always moisturize afterwards. Extremely good if used with bentonite clay. People use it in high amounts, but I think it's too harsh to be used everyday unless you lower it to like 5% of your toner.
Toothpaste: Same thing happened to me like baking soda. My cystic acne wanted to die. It burns. Don't know about other people.
Tea tree oil: dilute it. Dilute it. Dilute it. Never use it alone. I don't know why anyone would do that.
*I conclusion* what she is saying has basis. But it is all dependent on skin type and how you use it. All these things have worked with people, but they have also gone horribly with others. Look up ways to use it and how it has affected other people. I agree with the other things she said were good to use. But I do believe she needs to change her video title, it is misleading.
What she says does have basis. And anyone doing diy is recommending it because it handles worked for them, but it doesn't work for everyone. Everyone's skin is different and I realize now she's giving good advice. The title is a little harsh though.
Have a good day.
Thanks for this ❤️
Hi I am black which of this can I use please
@@yasanutouray1660 I'm actually also black, and my skin type is combination, acne prone with a dehydrated skin condition (currently). If you have no other option you could try diluted apple cider vinegar as a two to three times a week exfoliator (don't recommend it everyday, a lot of people have said after using it a week straight their skin became sensitive) so dilute it with water with 25% apple cider vinegar max and use it only a few times a week.
Coconut or any other oil could work as an oil cleanser, but you have to make sure you properly clean it off after and wash with a cleanser if your scared of it clogging your pores. To be honest another oil like jojoba would be better as an oil cleanser and a leave on (it may cause your skin to purge with little pimples, that's okay just give it a couple of days to clear. Don't pick)
Tea tree oil is amazing as long as you dilute it properly (research it) and use it only as a spot treatment (I would dilute it with another oil, don't use water). I can not in good mind recommend any of the others to any other skin type or skin color because of the issues that come along with them and it is seriously not worth it. If you can please try a simple brand like the ordinary that's cheap and effective or cerave. :) Hope this helps
Thanks
I've used apple cider vinegar in my home-made toner. Since I began my homemade regiment my skin glows and I no longer have ACNE. I'm 34 and people think I'm 22. My skin looks better, now, at 34 then when I was a teenager using expensive products on my skin.
I started using ACV and clear vinegar over 20 years ago. I am now 51 years of age. I am a black female with no moles and a lot of people say that I look 41 years of age. I cannot risk my skin having those black moles on my face. I can deal with wrinkles and I can probably even deal with a pimple. But those black moles I will not shall not cannot have. I will continue to use ACV, clear vinegar, lemon juice and lime juice. In moderation of course.😍😊😀
😂😂😂😂😂😂,am behind you dia
Omg you’re so knowledgeable and honest and I’m so here for it! Especially how you clarified how important the skin barrier is, and how there is actually so much practice and studying that goes into being qualified to provide skin care info. So articulate and concise, sooooo appreciated
This lady knows her stuff
missj Stephens Girl bye... it may sound good but everything isnt for everyone... PERIOD
It’s all about how you say it, not necessarily what you say. Tips are great, but ultimately do what makes you comfortable and that works for you.
Love how she is using scientific proof, but when using lemon, baking soda and apple cider vinegar you dilute it of course with water, but your video was still great
"Dangerous" a bit much. Perhaps some of those products may be harsh on certain skin types....but not dangerous. Overkill on the terminology.
sandrarthornton Agreed.
O once saw a news story of these little girls who making lemonade cutting lemons outside. They didnt wash their hands and stayed out in the sun and suffered very bad burns. This stuff can be dangerous to skins health.
well scrubbing your face with baking soda and lemon, then moisturizing it with coconot oil and head out outside in the sun can be dangerous, yes. and reading comments here, alot of people do that on a daily basis. Good luck in 5 years with that skin :/
Agreed
Mimi krause Anything done foolishly can be considered "dangerous".
Furthermore, even a licensed esthetician can put products on your skin that cause an adverse reaction. It's called having an allergic reaction.
Apple cider vinegar works! It works for me my face is super clear after I started using it. I dilute it with water wash it off with water and a Shea butter soap and then use a moisturizer
KIKI & HERSON girllllll I will try it now!! Apple cider vinegar already does wonders for my skin, because it has the same ph
Kiki Guin 💯
Thank you for including safe alternatives
Thank you so much, girl. You're literally changing my entire skin care regime. Been watching your videos for the past few days and I've already started implementing a lot of your tips. Shout of to the 60SecondRule!
I actually burned my skin with raw ACV a while ago when I was young and dumb lmao and coconut oil makes my skin and hair dry .. it’s weird 😂😂
Your video is very informational .. it makes sense .
you never should put acv full strength. should be diluted
You probably didnt water it down.
As a fellow esthetician I agree whole-heartedly with all of these and am dying over your "No Scrubs" video... unfortunately some people won't take this into consideration as I'm seeing in the comments because although they don't have a +$10k education in skincare... they clearly know more about it than we do...
Brooke Tipton the fact is that even skincare professional can make mistakes. I'm not saying that this girl is wrong. I'm saying that everything she said doesn't apply to every single person. I can't live without scrubs. I've tried. I just can't.
The initial problem is that few do proper research on natrual skin care and few trust what their body is telling them it needs. Its part knowledge and intuition. No one system or institution has it all figured out. Get to know your body and its needs.
i use baking soda daily and my skin is clearing up and no reaction-the cosmetic skincare industry is already starting to make products with baking soda thanks to the diy community.The experts will always be against diy but remember there are many people who cannot afford to got to dermatologists or skin specialists and have some skin problems and also they cannot afford over the counter skincare products so that is why diy skincare is here to stay till the end of time.baking soda is 0.15 dollars and over counter skincare starts from 15 dollars and above.The licensed professionals will never recommend diys even if it works.
Meanwhile dermatologist ruined my skin with benzoyl peroxide salicylic acid hydroxy acids and all types of bad before I finally said eff it now regular smegular soap aloe mask daily and a charcoal and Elmer's glue peel off masc once a week has gotten my skin right on point
How do you use it.

Safiyya Abdullahi this is the most simple but also the most truthful comment of this section
She pointed that out in the beginning of the video
I need more people to start listening to professional licenses estheticians like you when it comes to skincare. The only ingredient I was ever guilty of using was coconut oil because i didn’t feel like buying my usual makeup remover but then my dermatologist told me to stop because she said it was actually dehydrating my skin
I have been going to a dermatologist and getting facials for my cystic acne for years and nothing helped. It wasn’t until I started DIYing that things got better. What fixed my acne AND scars was a mix of a few things you’re saying not to use lol.
1. Sugar
2. Lemon Juice
3. Apply Cider Vinegar
4. Honey
5. Cinnamon
6. Ginger
And a few other things but my acne got better within a month or two. After years of going to pros. I recommend it. Feel free to try this mix! Your skins reaction to these ingredients and the ones named in this video can VARY. So to count them out altogether is to possibly trash your solution. 🙂
Don’t put glue on your face though....seriously she has a point like do your research and find what works for YOUR skin. And rinse thoroughly lol. I think I have before and afters on my instagram if you want proof of my results @TheMarissaLee 💕
be careful though. It may work in short term, but damage in long term. Maybe try to use it not everyday if it works and doesnt damage the skin ? Make sure to keep it balanced
“Apple cider vinegar taste like apple juice that’s already been thrown up” 🤣🤣 deadass lol
Reminder : Jesus is coming for His people, God bless you
Girl the day I stopped listening to all these you tubers my whole life changed. I refuse to use black soap on my face, my face will literally fall off.
Valerie Duruaku seriously!!! None of them actually see estheticians or dermatologists; they go to plastic surgeons for discount services for exposure 😬😬😬😬
Valerie Duruaku black soap dries my face out, then i have to go in with extra moisturizer.
Black soap is the devil for my sensitive ass skin 😂😂
I don't like black soap either. It makes my skin dry and peely. I use unscented castile soap now and it's so much better.
YES! I used black soap on my face three times because I saw on social media that it was beneficial. Big mistake! My face descended into ezcema and it got scaly, red, rough, and incredibly itchy for over two weeks. I was literally crying my eyes at what I had done to my face. Never again.
I'm GLAD someone made this video. I have suffered and still suffer from acne, so I've done virtually almost every single DIY out there to improve my skin. I agree, do NOT put lemon or baking soda on your skin. It doesn't matter if it temporarily works for you, or if you don't do it often. There WILL be negative side effects in the years to come. Don't put toothpaste on, don't put anything harsh on. Please. I've used tea tree oil before, undiluted, and it really damaged my skin. If you ABSOLUTELY have to use it, dilute it a lot! Same with ACV. 1 spoon of ACV to 1 glass of water, and use it once a week or once every two weeks. Eventually these products will dry your skin out. The biggest thing is to keep moisturized with natural products like essential oils, I use rosehip, aloe vera gel, HONEY is amazing, also vaseline has helped me but that isn't necessarily natural. Drink lots of water. If you feel the need to use lemon, just DRINK lemon water. If anyone has questions please ask below, I've been through years of ups and downs with skin!
i managed to get rid of my acne by quitting milk products and wheat, i noticed that my skin gets worse after certain food so i went to the doctor and took blood test , my hormones where ok but they said that I have lactose and wheat intolerance. I really recommend to check this first. My skin was really better after that, no more red spots. Unfortunately I still had small white pimples deep under the skin, then I went to other doctor and got roaccutane. I thought that these pills are only for heavy acne and that my doctor would not allow me to take them. I was taking them 8 months, and i was a bit scared because of side effects but I had only very dry lips . anyway... now i get some pimples only if i eat a chocolate with milk but usually just single ones. I am 34 and finally i am happy, my skin is not perfect but healthy enough, I would say it looks 95% good. I really recommend to check intolerances and ask for roaccutane even though it had long list with side effects
I'm so happy for you Kate! I didn't mention this in my comment, but I will now since you brought it up. I've quit dairy products and gluten, mainly because they caused me immense stomach pain that vanished once I stopped eating them. After doing more research, I found out that many gluten products, like white bread and pasta, are high in the glycemic index and spike your blood sugar, which can lead to inflamed skin and acne. I've always known that dairy was no good for acne so I don't consume it anymore. When my diet is very clean, organic, and full of fruits and veggies I have clearer skin. Recently I broke out because a product that was supposed to be really healthy, vegan, gluten free, etc. had a lot of sugar in it that I wasn't even aware of, so I wish I was more careful about that because now I'm paying the price. My point is, diet is VERY effective when it comes to reducing acne. I'm also taking some vitamins/supplements now but I can't say yet how good of an effect they have. Unfortunately I won't be taking accutane because I previously took an oral antibiotic for acne which, although got rid of my acne for like 3 days, made me puke uncontrollably for several days and completely destroyed my stomach. Like I'm still trying to recover a few years later, so there's no way I'm taking the risk again with an even stronger pill. I'm glad it worked for you though, and thank you for sharing your insight
Cla Lyrics but how long did you keep up with each particular diy regimen? My mom adviced me on ACV it took 3 weeks for me to see results and now i"ve just asked her to send me a bottle of braggs because we don't have it here...so i'll say if it didn't work for you then just look through the comments it worked for us. 🤷
Tracey Machio, I know you should use a product for a few weeks to see the "real" results as your skin is getting used to it. The truth is, natural remedies like honey masks and aloe vera won't cause your skin to purge because they won't cause any irritations (and if they do, you are sensitive to it and should discontinue use). I've used ACV multiple times for
better u deal with de route causes for ur acne pliz. tapping leaking water from a bucket aint a solution compared to fixing it
Yeah guys she's the real deal, you guys should listen to her because before I even saw this video earlier this year I spoke to my dermatologist at Skin, A medical Spa in Virginia, and she yelled at me concerning using baking soda, aloe vera, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and even face masks that cost less than $3
she sounds believable
And we are getting that same info for free, and yet people want to be nasty. If you don't like the advice, ignore it. Somebody's trying to be helpful and generous.
Aloe Vera ?
AE King, of course dermatologists and Drs will always not want you to use healthy natural ingredients. They just want you to buy their toxic drugs. They think we're just a bunch of stupid sheep that will do anything they want. We have to learn to take care of ourselves. Drs don't really know anything except to prescribe their money-making drugs .
your dermatologist has a point because those ingredients are harmful, just because it's natural doesn't mean it's right for your skin. synthetic products are fine. also, 3 dollar face masks.. seriously... why would anyone want to put anything on their face that costs 3 dollars.... you're just asking for problems.
My dermatologist back home in Cuba told me to make a scrub with SUGAR 😳🤯 and soap to help with my black heads and pimples when I was 14. 10 years later being a nurse and following proper skin care information makes me realize she could have caused real damage to my skin 😭. Thanks for your advices and amazing channel 👏🏻
If coconut oil was dangerous there would be no Jamaica
It's still good for your hair! Just might cause breakouts for people with acne prone skin lmao

Thanks for the tips:) but I'd like to share my experience. 3 years ago I had tons of pimples on my skin and it was horrible (not sure if it was Acne or not). I used many creams and medicines, everything I could get at the pharmacy or from my doctor but nothing helped. One day I started applying coconut oil on my face every night before I got into bed and after about 2 or 3 weeks everything was gone! My face has never looked better. So maybe people should try and see if it's good for them first,because for me it was kinda a life saver😅

You are soooo right! Pinterest is the worst when it comes to people posting crap like that lol. And THANK YOU for bringing up the coconut oil! I have been saying this for months! People don't look at the comedogenic ratings when they are doing their diy creams/lotions/serums. People also need to invest in some litmus paper to check the pH of what they are creating or it will do more damage than good. Finally someone who knows what they're talking about!
I'm all a for natural skin care routine. And not going to lie I have used some of these dangerous ingredients but she does make a lot sense. Ph balance is very important, and she explained everything very well. She definitely knows what she's talking about. I also love that she gave other natural alternatives that are healthy for your skin. She's very knowledgeable.
Why is everyone so obsessed with a "natural skincare routine" I'm so confused
thank you for spreading knowledge, i get so annoyed whenever i see people recommending diy masks with stuff that can seriously irritate or damage skin or preaching about NaTuRaL ingredients and about how bad Chemicals are... or claiming that people don’t need to go to skin professionals when they’re having issues because simple pinterest recipes and drinking water will cure them lol. dermatologists and estheticians are so important and so under appreciated because people think they can do their jobs after watching a skincare routine tips from a fashion youtuber who’s scared of anything that doesn’t come out of their fridge sjsjsjsjs
What a very informative and knowledgeable video. This is the first time I ran across you and I will say, the first thing I did was subscribe to you. You know your stuff and I am extremely impressed. Thank you.
i painfully have to agree on formerly beloved coconut oil. i used to buy gallons of this and just used it for everything, cooking, all over my body, hair, oil-pulling etc.....after a few years im recovering from my extremely dry skin. coconut oil is an astringent oil which means DRYING! and dry, irritated skin means = acne. if u have naturally dry, dehydrated skin u cant use coconut oil. people w/ normal skin or naturally oily skin (which means luminous, slightly shiny skin w/ no acne. if u have acne but its oily, u acutally have dry, dehydrated skin, not oily. if u have oil w/ acne it means ur using way too harsh products that are irritating ur skin and causing acne)
corsican lulu the American Heart Association last year posted a study claiming coconut oil in cooking is actually a trans fat and i screamed my heart out because science proved everybody wrong and proved how unhealthy coconut oil in cooking really is
For real! it dried my skin and hair out so bad😔
Girl speak for yourself, and not everyone. I’ve been using it for more than 3 years, all over my face throughout the day and night, and have had no problems.
D_money well she's speaking for 90% of people with problematic skin so.......
Happy that it worked for you but it doesn't work for majority of the people.
last to first Your statistics are wrong. 90% of ppl do not have problematic skin. Lmao. And everyone I know loves coconut oil, and it hasn’t caused them any issues. So it just depends on an individuals skin type.

Whenever I hear “coconut oil” in a beauty treatment I walk away
Kstar NovaGal yes! Same here
Why though?
Portia Smith - EduLIFE obviously it doesn’t work for her. Coconut oil dries out a lot of peoples hair and skin. It simply doesn’t work for everybody.
It works well for me... I have started to use it on my lashes as well... They are beautiful.
Me too
FINALLY A GOOD VIDEO ABOUT SKIN
you're so pretty btw ❤
Hey army😀😀😀😀💜💜💜
She is right about coconut oil. Coconut oil is very heavy and comedogenic, which means it clogs pores. If you use coconut oil to take makeup off make sure to use a foaming face cleanser to get all the oil off.
Question: is olive oil and option for the face as a natural moisturizer?
OMG this makes me so sad 💔😩 I've been using half ACV half water on my skin as a oner for about 3 months now and I am GLOWING. My hyperpigmentation is gone and my texture has minimised significantly. ACV became a staple of mine.
Thank you! Dont be sad
You still can my dermatologist told me it's perfectly fine as long as you diluted it.
It’s great to use, as long as it is diluted. My skin is perfect, 😁😁thanks to most of these products she is talking about
If that works for you...go for it. Diluted the pH is slightly acidic which helps the serums and moisturizers penetrate deeper, therefore getting increased use of the possibly higher end moisturizer you splurge on. So if it makes you glow...continue using diluted with water or with rose water or a million other components to dilute with ACV. Please use The Mother Braggs ACV or a similar brand if possible. That is the best.

Faceldy28 thanks for saying this. It would have been best for someone to encourage their followers to use with caution such as diluting some of these products, but to say “don’t (ever) use (some of ) these things on your face”, sends a different message. 🙂
OMG... now I see why my skin has been so terrible lately. In my early 20s, my skincare routine was simple. Wash with black soap, tone with ACV, moisturize with coconut oil. Having oily acne-prone skin, that regimen actually gave me the best skin I've ever had. Even better than ProActiv and other products I tried. Now I'm in my late 20s going on 30 and my skin just doesn't react the same. I had to stop using coconut oil altogether. I still use ACV diluted with water and Dr. Bonner's Castille soap to wash my face. But I am looking for better ways to care for my skin. This video is really enlightening.
lol ppl chill, she mentioned everyone has diff skin types so it's not true for everyone so try it and if it irritates your skin, dont ever use it again. If it doesn't, go ahead :D just try at ur own risks ofc that's all I can say lol cuz i know some diy do help a lot to some people (as i can relate to some like aloe vera one lol LIFE CHANGER, for me.) as it can worsen some people's situation as well so just see if your skin is sensitive or not. And if this vid is not relatable at all or helpful, just take it as an extra knowledge (it never hurts to learn new things lol, its pretty educational) or a warning so you know the harms and not just the good stuff so you can be careful not to overdo stuff lol
You mentioned on Twitter that mandelic acid is better for dark skin. Could you describe for someone that has never used it before how to effectively use it??
Chantel Rolling I'm not The Golden Rx but mandelic acid is one of the 3 forms of alpha hydroxy acid, also known as AHA, and it's a type of chemical exfoliant. Other forms of chemical exfoliants include glycolic acid and lactic acid (the other two types of AHAs) and salicylic acid (a chemical exfoliant known as BHA). Mandelic acid has the smallest molecular structure out of all the 3 AHAs, which makes its irritation level REALLY low. It works slower but it WORKS and is fantastic if your skin is sensitive as well 😊
Before I even get into how you could use it, if you're not wearing sunscreen consistently (SPF 30 or higher), start wearing sunscreen consistently before you even think about trying mandelic acid or any type of AHA/BHA. 7 days/week, 365 days/yr.
If you've never used it before, I would start off with a low percentage of mandelic acid, anywhere from 5%-7% MAX. Also, since you've never used it before, I would also use mandelic acid after you use a toner or serum, which will act as a buffer between the acid and your skin as it your skin builds tolerance to the mandelic acid. If your skin doesn't have any sensitivity or irritation, you can use the acid directly after cleansing. Make sure to wait between 15-20 minutes for the acid to do its job before applying your next product.
Also, like I said, make sure you're wearing sunscreen as mandelic acid (or any type of AHA/BHA) will increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun but you should be wearing sunscreen anyway 😊 This was a lot but I hope it was helpful!
It doesn’t mean. It’s good for YOUR skin...
They said that baking soda would get rid of my enlarged pores, so I tried it and it made my pores more apparent. That’s when I knew that I needed to stop following DIYs online and just see a dermatologist. In the end I left my pores alone and didn’t end up seeing a dermatologist because at the end of the day, pores are irreversible and my pores are tiny but because I wanted super smooth skin, my mentality in the past was that I should be perfect but I’ve accepted my flaws now so I’ll shut up now 😃.
shakeera davis mix a pinch of baking soda to ur fav facial wash... it works like heaven... ive been using baking soda for decades now.
this video was such an eye opener for me because half of the stuff that were listed in this video I have used them. I really love and appreciate how not only you listed out what we shouldn't put in our face, but also the alternatives. Plus you were stating facts onto why these are harmful! love this video.
Right I don't know why people are irritated by her
I've noticed that tea tree oil made my skin worse, I had no idea it was so potent. Thank you for this info, much appreciated!
You have to dilute or mix essential oils as it's concentrated when doing so (essential oils) it's pretty effective.
me as well! Glad I am not the only one. :)
tea tree lotion is a blessing for me😬😍
Lmao I remember watching this video a year ago, thinking oh well I’ll do it anyways and i broke out even more 😂 LISTEN TO HER Y’ALL
Cosmosubs 😂😂😂😭😭
Yea well that happened to you, everybody skin different and will get different results (I agree that people shouldn't put lemon on their face tho)
some people apparently prefer “natural” over logic
Nah. I think people prefer to continue using what has clearly worked for them vs. someone telling them they should discontinue using things that have clearly worked for them.
@@LC-wm6wy Exactly.
The logical part is even more radical....
@@LC-wm6wy Just because something technically works doesn't mean it isn't doing damage to the skin over time, and doesn't mean it should be recommended to people. If people enjoy using any of the ingredients in this video, they're ultimately free to do that. This video is simply providing information and warning people of the legitimate risks of using them.
@@perfumaphilia3246 Everyone's skin reacts different to different things. I've been using coconut oil on my face for about 2 years now, as a moisturizing after I wash my face and I've seen no damage. I've even told my dermatologist what I've been using and she said the effects of coconut oil varies on different skins. So what may damage one's skin may not damage another. Ultimately what she is saying could be all true by what she has learned, but not true to everyone.
I use aloe, activating black charcoal combined with coconut oil. Really nice. They work wonders for me.
I do agree that lemon and apple cider vinegar can be rough on your skin but if you balance the acid with water it can be beneficial.. you can also put a tea spoon of lemon or apple cider vinegar in a cup of water everyday before you eat anything, and this will flush out toxins and help your acne and loose weight, but overall I see your point of view about these products
austin rodrigez they will help you lose water weight but not fat fyi
Apple Cider is really good for acne prone skin. it really helps my skin at bay keeping those nasty acne away! I used it for about 5 years from now. Just dilute it with water halfhalf ratio.
Ey Bhan just stop
Père Lula why? You know theres a safe way to use all these products. Just buy some ph strips and test it yourself if its that serious to you.
Lol no it’s not
c b lol ok. Just do your own research. Like I said just buy ph strips. You can use science instead of youtube.
c b have you ever tried it?
Could you do one mentioning using potato to lighten dark spots, diluted AVC with water, the aztec mask with the AVC and without it, shea butter, and african black soap? The video was amazing and i will stop using some of the things you mentioned... THANK YOU!
This girl is taught to get people off of natural skin care products that work and back on chemical products that don't work as good and they pass into the blood stream immediately that can cause horrible sickness down the road. keep your natural skin care and search for more. she will find out the truth. She does not know that big pharma are killing people with their chemicals. she will.
L Crom Agreed
L Crom what??? she literally recommended natural products at the end of the video that are okay and acne fighting for the skin. im pretty sure all shes trying to do is trying to is spread word about harmful shit in our cabinets that the media is saying to slather all over our face
I loved how you gave other natural alternatives at the end.
Diet also has soooo much to do with skin. Gotta take care of yourself from the inside out.
