"Whenever it's painful, it's not good". Absolutely love it. In French there's this sentence "tu dois souffrir pour être belle" (=you must suffer to be beautiful) that i have always hated
In Brazilian Portuguese too
Beauty is pain is a common phrase in English
@@talia_neah yes this! And also “no pain no gain”
There's that same saying in Polish too.
That's everywhere, "la belleza cuesta"
My favourite part about you is that you don't just say "Top 7 things not to do!!!", but you also provide safer and better alternatives. I see a lot of videos and websites just tell you NOT to do, but never giving tips on what you SHOULD do instead.
This!! ❤️
Yes! Exactly! Hate to watch video ma that share the don’ts but don’t share other alternatives
Great information. Thank. You.

Physical exfoliating scrub -> Chemical exfoliate once to twice a week.
Vibrating cleansing brush -> regular cleanser 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Micellar water/face wipes -> regular cleanser
Pore stripes -> retinol or salicylic acid
Peel off masks -> chemical exfoliant or toner or vitamin a or retinol
Face messaging tools -> surgical face lift
Body exfoliating gloves -> salicylic acid cream

Thank you 💜🍀
i love using a physical microdermabrasion i switch between that and chemical exfoliating and toning exfoliators and my skin is great
Thanks! He broke my heart on the last one!
I think he hasn't actually mentioned micellar water, just micellar face wipes.

I used St. Ives exfoliating wash in the early 2000's until I got one of pieces of exfoliate stuck in my eye. That was the most painful and expensive lesson that I've learned.
Oh i had that happen right before a field trip once! Its like getting your eyes shredded every time you blink
😟
Once when I was in my twenties, I tried using the St. Ives skin lotion and WOW!! I had to make a dash to the bathroom cause within seconds, my leg turned red and was burning!! Never again! Will never use the St. Ives ANYTHING!!!
I didn’t get it in my eye, but it hurt my skin more than enough for me to stop. I think I used the rest of it on my feet (calluses). Definitely works for that!
Happened to me also!
When I was a teenager, I was wild about pore strips but my mom insisted that they would be harmful. And now I thank her alot for being strict on me
Yay! Your mom saved you
I needed pore strips because even if I would wash my face there would still be a lot of dirt and excess oil. I rarely used it. It was either that or my mom forcefully taking the white stuff of my nose… and that wasn’t going to happen
@@janiyahl.9456 I still needed them at 20. Got a silicone cleansing brush and it really helps! Only use it for 1 minute (not everyday) use whatever (healthy) methods that work for your skin!
@@janiyahl.9456 ik this comment is 2 months old but oil cleansing really helps get gunk out of your pores!!
@@hollyholly3172 I’ll look into it. Thanks 😊
I love how you not only addressed the issues but also gave back-up solutions, I didn't know most of this information so thanks so much for the heads up!
You're very welcome!
As someone in my 40's and who has worked with plastic surgeons for most of my career, I think there's something important to remember.
What works for one person doesn't necessarily jive with the next.
Personally, a blend of acid and physical exfoliation keeps my face and body skin bright, clear and happy.
My skin is oil rich, and likes to stick around. 🤷♀️
Retinol turns my skin to pure fire in any strength.
The next person might need something quite different.
Derms tend to be fairly adamant, almost militant in their recommendations.
You know your skin.
Be gentle, use high quality tested products from trusted sources.. and TRY THINGS.
Above all, good skin starts from the inside out.
Drink your water..cut the processed crap food and add more fresh produce..sleep..move your body..wash your face at night..cut out the booze and salt if you can.
You'll be amazed at what happens to your skin.
You nailed it !! Perfect
Agree completely 👍🏼
I work for a plastic surgeon as well and 100 percent agree with this. I would also reccomend moisturizing and massaging your skin
+ don’t smoke. use SPF on a daily basis no matter what.
I appreciated you adding "if you can" cuz I literally have a sleep disorder lol so sleeping enough isn't always in the cards for me but I do my best
Knowing that I don't use any of these products/methods in my skin care routine is such a relief. I also don't recommend the physical scrubs because it can also cause breakouts and irritations.
At one point or another I've used most of these. Right now I barely do anything aside from washing with a washcloth and moisturizing.
YES! I was a little worried until I realized it doesn't apply to me❣ Ppl just need to be gentle with their skin💗
Same here :)
I use pore strips once a few months and the scrub for my feets.
wait then is the neogen bio peel gauze safe?
Me, who does absolutely nothing for skincare and still watching this video
Amazon sent me Skin Care instead of my actual package 📦 so... Here I am
Same.
All useful advice, and as an older person can I just add that it's not a crime to get older. Look after your skin, but accept those signs of ageing, and be happy. Be happy and confident.
Hello, is your picture Ether from @motherofstallions ?
Thank you❤
Yes, in addition, you earned those stripes, be proud of your wrinkles. Ageing means life experience.
I felt as if you were talking to my heart and soul. Wise words 😌
I always got ingrown hair after bikini wax and I was following the esthetician's advice to use physical exfoliation. I was fed up and deciding to try chemical exfoliation (glycolic acid 7%) and it was a game changer! never ever had problem since.
That's smart! Another comment mentioned using it to make her feet softer!
How many times do you use it in a week ?
@@nmooshka_301 you can use the glycolic acid toner everyday since it's low concentration. For BHA and AHA peeling once a week is enough
Thanks for the advice! I have the same problem, I will try out this method :)
The rule after waxing is you dont use no shower gel, cream, oil,.... in waxed area for 24 hours only water and you dont have bumps or ingrown hairs.

Happy to say I'm not using any. Micellar face wipes I might use when I travel so a few times a year.
Thank you, when "7 to 10 minutes" turned out to be 13 minutes, I wasn't sure it would be worth watching
I remember a customer came in to my store (I was a beauty advisor) she bought the green scrub sponges ( the ones that are used on pots and pans)for using on her face. She didn’t have any lines on her forehead but it looked like You could actually see her skull through very thin skin. I wonder what that looks like now because it has been almost 5 years.
I used an ultrasonic brush ONCE. It literally brushed off my first layer of skin, and it was so damn painful, I used medicine on my skin for better healing. The worst part: the next day I was flying to a sunny vacation and the salt water hurt even more (but it also kind of helped a lot with healing). I needed to wear extra layers of sunscreen and didn't have as much fun as I should've. I threw that brush out imminently.
I have oily skin and I avoid as much as possible following influencers who encourage the consumption of cosmetic products. They make you spend money on unnecessary items for a skincare routine.
I'm finding in my old age (I'm 55) that the simpler the better, a good old washcloth, a homemade lavender essential oil spray and avocado oil that's it.
Yes. You're right. Now I found my best skincare ever since I stop buying influencers' recommendations. The result is not as fast as others but it's okay to be slowly but surely.
Completely agree ,i have also spend alot of money in these products to get rid from my oily amd acne prone skin but at the end i have found nothing revolutionary in these kind of expensive skincare .these all are useless
They get paid for promoting or advertising the products, they are not the bets people to get advise from.
I find just using what ever a professional dermatologist tells you to use is so much better. The prescriptions might be expensive, but at least they actually work.
“Whenever it’s painful it’s not good. “ Too much of anything stinks. Best spa care I ever received was at the Korean spa where the ladies scrubbed my body with an exfoliating cloth. Wow. That was great. I made friends with steam also. My face I treat like a baby. And Vaseline is still wonderful to hold moisture after you wash your face at night. Wash it off in the morning and apply your moisturizer. Rose hip oil is nice in winter and Aloe vera great in summer. Find what works, try new organic things. Best to nurture from within with plenty water, fruit and veggies and fatty acids. Drink tea! I’m lazy but I like the jade Gua thing, too. Feels good. One last thing: keep lots of clean white washcloths for gentle scrub to the face and neck in the shower to remove all grime. You can see it! Sounds like much but develop your routine and listen to your skin. Haven’t had a pimple or a dry patch for donkeys years. 👏🏾
Sounds good apart for the Vaseline bit. It is is made from petrol chemicals and I do my best to avoid anything with petroleum on my skin unless it's a infection that I need to keep moisture out of with antibiotic ointment, but i always try natural ointments or salves first.
@@bluerayalchemy823 I’m aware of that but it’s non absorbent which is the point and out of exposure to uv light harmless. Unlike coconut oil or Shea or any of the other oils that harden at room temperature! It’s a low cost humectant. When resources permit I use the light oils I mentioned but mostly my skin craves water. There’s a reason Vaseline works for wound care. And it kept my Granny , a kind gardening lady who grew and ate her own vegetables and lived until her 80s in flawless complexion. As I said not a pimple, a rash, a wrinkle or discoloration since my teens and even then rarely. Perhaps me and my Granny have skin that is different than yours! Carry on.
@@nokateno If you don't have donkeys on your skin, you're using the wrong products!
Vaseline is good only for ppl with dry skin. It will couse breack out with any other person that have acne or oily skin since it will block your pours`
@@jeanettesdaughter you lucky with your skin hehe. My grandma did not used anything and had a good skin and looked younger 20 years when she was 80 also had black hair till death. I hope I got her skin - but I defenetly did not got her hair... Got white hair since 30 like mom and grandfather may he rest with peace
Commenting to keep this video in the algorithm because it’s informative and helpful. I want everyone to see this!
Thank you, Doc!
I've watch a video where a skincare "guru" was pestering about St Yves face scrub because it was causing microtears on the skin, but then she was micro needling her face after applying The Ordinary AHA + BHA acid peel.
Do what always worked for you. You know your skin the best. If something is working wonders on you, don't change.
I've used St. Gives scrub for years with no problem. It makes my skin feel great.
I love the St. Yves scrub. My skin starts breaking out and becomes congested when I don't use it.
I wash my face at night but I've used face cleansing wipes in the morning for a while now and notice my face is clearer and all redness has gone. Also, I use exfoliating gloves (gently) on my body and my skin has never glowed and been so soft before. I think the one piece of advice you can give to everyone is to be gentle with their skin. 🙂
I guess it depends on what wipes you use, because wipes are usually mostly pure alcohol and only irritate it
@@thunderclancat123 Yes, good point. I make sure to use ones made with no alcohol - right now I'm using Beekman 1802 Pure Goat Milk facial cleansing wipes.
I think what he is saying here is for the general care of the skin. What works for you may not work for others, especially those with sensitive skin.
@@DieMochi exactly there’s always going to be expections. Some things he mentioned using could be bad for people with allergies to certain chemicals and there are those who skin is just all sorts of special and require a different care routine. I do agree with another person some people use those scrubs and brushes to harsh on the skin. The skin is more delicate than most think and it requires care but gentle care.
Yes, because my face can't handle any chemicals on my skin, I do use physical scrub cos am a bit worried about chemical!
Also,I use face wipes to only dab my face to remove excess water after cleansing cos they don't dry my face completely, every wash I use a new wipe! I like them better than towels!
I can't stand face brushes but some people swear with it,so pple are different anyway
When I was a teenager, I used a sandy, grainy scrub to try to clear my acne. I scrubbed my face so vigorously that I still have tiny scrub line scars on my forehead! They never went away, although my acne finally did. They shouldn't sell these abrasives in the stores, they can really damage your facial skin for life. This was long before people knew about chemical exfoliators. Thank goodness there are much better ways to exfoliate now.
Scrubs work wonders for other areas of the body. There's no point removing them from shelves simply because some misuse them due to misinformation 😊
@@user-kpkxgtj they call them facial scrubs though.
@@user-kpkxgtj I agree that they can work great for areas with especially rough skin, such as the feet and elbows, but the point is that these harsh scrubs are being advertised as being safe for more sensitive areas, such as the face, even though they are exactly the opposite.
@@peggedyourdad9560 not really. It is really on the user. A lot of facial scrubs can be done like once a week? But I know women who brag that they exfoliate everyday. And you can't change their minds if they have good skin to prove.
@@yivunqp963 You’re right that some can be be ok to use once a week, but those are sugar scrubs which are slightly better since sugar dissolves with water so you can’t sandpaper your skin indefinitely. Those people that brag they use harsh scrubs every day and say they still have nice skin generally either won’t have nice skin for very long (lol) or are very lucky that they won the skin genetic lottery. The reason it’s encouraged to use chemical exfoliants for their Face ID because it’s not actually known when the benefits of physical exfoliants end and their harmfulness begins because you’re essentially scratching the surface of the skin and hoping all that’s being scraped-off is dirt/dead skin and not the healthy skin underneath.
I"m so glad I stumbled on your channel! Not only that you give us alternative ways to be better handlers of our skin but you also entertain us, yep, you're not boring unlike other that seems like they're just narrating. Also, thanks for putting visuals like large fonts. It helps me a lot since I'm a visual learner!
This doctor knows what he is talking about. Everything he said is true and I know this because facialists I have seen say the same. Also, my mother taught me the best way to exfoliate the body is to use a wash cloth every time you bathe or shower. Follow up with lotion. Just like my mom, I have soft skin. People tell me all the time.
Fragranced skin care, no 1 culprit for skin irritation.
Me too😭
I hate fragrance and alcohol
That's a fact, speaking from experience
Omg. Me too! The worst.
Not true
This was genuinely very helpful and not clickbait. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us and helping counter misinformation out there!
I don't like rough exfoliators, but I love microdermabrasion scrubs once or twice a week. I've used them forever and they make a HUGE difference in my skin's brightness and clarity. I cleanse with DHC olive oil cleanser and their mild soap, this routine makes my skin look amazing and I'm almost 50!
Which microdermabrasion scrub do you use?
I was told 20 years ago in HK not to use strips as they enlarge the pores, I was gutted because they were selling them so cheap and i thought I was getting a bargain. Needless to say, I left empty handed and went for a facial instead where the squeeze out your pores for you
I did some of the skincare mistakes before and realised that my skin turned red, peeled, too dry, burning sensation etc. Starting last year I start using egg white to remove my whiteheads once a month. I also use clay mask to remove dirt from my face like every 2 weeks. I think clay mask is better than peel off mask because clearly u do not need to peel it. Just wash it off with warm water. My skin has never been better.
yes, I use it too, lavender water moisturizer, cocoa oil skin nourishing or honey mask, almond oil for eyebrows and eyelashes, now my skin is amazing
@@xediceabdullayeva9504 , I make up a water/lavender essential oil spray and spray it on my face, feels good, smells good my face is clear. 🙂
@@charlottesmom yeah natural, perfect content ✨🧚👍🏼
@@charlottesmom oil...my skin getting more dry when I am using oil...
Personally, I've had back and chest acne for about 15 years. Not using any sort of washcloth when I shower makes the acne worse. It's a microfiber cloth, and I don't go overboard with it, just enough to get rid of the dead skin and excess oil.
I think the takeaway is be super careful with your face and neck, and gentle with the rest of your skin.
Look at your shampoo snd conditioner. Try to find one without silicone… ever since my acne disappeared after 20 years
@@orphanl I've been using silicone free products for quite a while actually 😅 my acne is more of a chronic internal issue, there's little I can do at this point besides medication.
Same using cloth is fine just don't pull
god i used to have back acne when i was younger 😔 but it's all gone once i change my soap and shampoo to baby products. it's totally annoying to have acnes wherever body part they choose to live in.
About once a month, I use salicylic acid face wash on my whole body; that seems to cut down on acne in random body parts.
My ultrasonic brush only vibrates for 1 minute. I use it once or twice a week to clean my beard. It works very very well.
I use a sugar scrub for my face and body (the face scrub is gentler). Both use a mixture of physical and chemical, but I've found that the sugar starts to melt immediately and doesn't scratch or irritate. It basically turns to a slush. I like it and haven't noticed any irritation or distress.
Same here!
What is the brand you use
I had a dermatologist sell me a clarisonic brush when I was a teenager and she told me to use it every single night along with cleanse my skin with a glycolic acid rinse and use medicated spot treatments. Safe to say my skin was redder than ever and irritated as hell. Oh and this same dermatologist blamed me for my face being red because I apparently wasn’t cleansing enough.
That sounds like a terrible unprofessional dermatologist
Ouch.
Dr. Dray on u tube is great
I've been using everything you've mention in this video and I'm horrified. I couldn't figure out why I kept breaking out and why my skin is starting to scar now 😖 thank you very much for saving my skin. I will definitely change my skin care routine.
Super late but good luck so far!!!
As a person having sensitive skin, I’ve tried them all and always have breakout. Until I started using korean products! Snail mucin helped me alot since they act as a skin barrier. I was surprised as when i change routine i always get breakout but not on them. Worth a try!
@@Jane2cool4Uugar scrubs are also physical exfoliators, so yes they can be very rough on the face. I’d recommend using a bentonite clay mask if you want something natural. Using a sugar scrub for the body every now and then should be okay though :)
@@sayanschannel8696 its never too late.
This kind of expertise videos are really appreciated to understand what is really needed to do for skin care.Now the markets are oversaturated with the harmful skin care products which is even costly also but due to not having proper knowledge for skin care products, everyone are suffering.
Thank you to Dr.ing for raising consciousness against this harmful use of skin care products.
I agree with everything, except the exfoliating gloves. Dry brushing feels so good on the body and it really gets your circulation and lymph flow going.
What kind of washcloth do you use for the face?
@@kplay5285a natural bristle dry brush for the face.
So you all of a sudden know better than a professional dermatologist?
@@moon_0207 I'm allowed to have an opinion. And even medical professionals don't all share the same opinion, nor indeed do they know everything. Science uncovers new information all the time, why would one random dermatologist know it all? Besides, it's just a recommendation.
I agree, I love a bit of dry brushing or brushing with aqueous cream on the brush in the shower. Never on the face tho.
sheesh, I used half of the things mentioned here. Funny thing during the lockdown and when I started working from home, I became lazy and stop using a lot of these products. My skin got a lot better and brighter as well. One good thing the lockdown taught me was that my skincare was awful
Pore strips never even work for me. I still see all of the blackheads
True! I used to clean my skin with those brushes and now I ended up with sensitive skin and redness! I hate it how adverts fool us to buy expensive stuff that even harm us
Tbh I notice a significant difference in my face when I massage it and do lymphatic draining so I don't think I'll stop since it works for me.
Until this day I still regret doing the stupid charcoal peeling mask. It just made my skin dry as sahara desert.
😂😂😂😂
Lmaoooo
@@sivasakthithangaiah596 x
I just ordered a salicylic acid based cleanser and I used it for the first time today. Idk how I stumbled upon this channel but hey...I'm a new subscriber now and I'm eager learn more about skin care and stuff cuz I'm really tired from my acne prone, hyperpigmented scarred face.
Lurve ! Don't forget sunscreen!
Very educative video!
im so glad i came across this video!! ive been using products and wondering why my skins been getting worse or having no improvement with some of the products i use, definitely changing my skin care routine from now on 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
I was at a skin care salon where they do all kinds of treatments but i was there to ask about Botox. The woman said I needed exfoliating on my skin and sold me an extremely expensive physical exfoliator to use twice a week. It was like rubbing sand on my face. After the first couple of times, I stopped using it and instead invested in chemical exfoliant and retinol. My skin thanked me. I was clear about how sensitive my skin was and yet they still insisted this was the best thing. I ended up using it on my feet.
Wow, I think some people are just out to make money. Once they’ve made a sale it’s like whatever. But the feet part was funny, lol 😂
Most of this people aren't skin experts, it's about the money factor, they are there to get your money.
Less is more when it comes to your face. Dont let the current beauty trend fool you.
Less? So just cleanser and moisturizer?
That's a really dated idea.
The great serums and retinols they have available today in addition to cleansers, moisturizers and sunscreens are the reason why people have such great skin compared to 50 years ago.
@@yourmajesty3569 It's probably mostly just the sunscreen
Correct..I have reduced my 21 steps of skincare routine to 13, and I still look marvellous
@@yourmajesty3569less is more doesn't necessarily mean you can only use basic skincare. But it's more using less products but potent and well-researched than having a lot of beauty trend products that have the overclaimed benefits just because they're advertised as such.
I never wash my face. I use a rose water spray with a light serum and then a moisturizer. That's it. I am 64 and everyone thinks I am at least 10 years younger. I will be starting a channel on how to touch the face in a gentle manner to revitalize and nurture you and your face. I watch these videos to be informed and some of it is good but then they say surgery is the only answer and that is ridiculous. What about accepting and working with what you have.
Agree with all of this! I'm glad I'm not doing any of these skincare trends and my skin has never looked better! :)
I've recently started washing my face with dry dirt and a steel scouring pad. My face has never looked worse.
I used to use physical exfoliators and my skin was gorgeous. I switched to “chemical exfoliators” because a licensed “professional” advised me it would be much better then physicall exfoliators but the chemical exfoliators ruined my skin barrier completely and im still struggling to get it back to normal.
Me too
Licensed esthetician here! I’m so sorry you’re experiencing that. I find that without proper guidance or experience that chemical exfoliation can cause more bad than good. That being said your first time being introduced to chemical exfoliation in the treatment room, not on your own. Some skin types are better with physical exfoliation! Just don’t go too long or hard and use one that has round beads (HES referrinf to specifically to St. Ives without saying their name)
Dermalogica has a very gentle physical exfoliator. It takes 8 hours for the skin barrier (acid mantle) to repair itself. Only exfoliate in the evenings, so skin will be repairing while you sleep.
Lol they told you to switch to chemical exfoliator to have better skin but that’s all marketing bullshits. Believe me, I tried all the expensive stuffs like BHA, AHA and Retinol but they didn’t help any of my problems and instead made them worse. Also I know many cases like you who trusted in the so-called “Lagendary Skincare Ingredient” myths and got their skin completely ruined. Even me after 7 years of researching, I decided to go back to my good ol’scrub, exfoliating gloves and plain moisturizer. My skin looks so much better. No purging, no redness/iritation and less dark spots. Even better with a smooth and subtle glow.
@@Mintimiruku6369 I use Cane and Austin physical face/body....love it, but I think they might have changed the formulation a bit.
This was VERY informational. Before starting RetinA, I used to do pore strips on my nose once every week. But I noticed my pores clogged again after a week and it never really showed signs of shrinking. Even with regular cleansing. I had bad breakouts as well. I finally asked my doctor if I could start RetinA. She agreed and I’ve been on topical RetinA for only a month now but Man, what a difference. I haven’t used pore strips for a month now and I noticed the pores on my nose have shrunk considerably. RetinA is a true skincare game changer for breakouts. Thank you for this video, it really helped me understand more of the other things I shouldn’t be using.
Charmie Lo. .you used retinA on topic or un complementation ?
YES, RETIN-A is the best! I use it too! It's great for everything from acne to fine wrinkles!💖
How do you use it
@@emileemosbacher6719 you put the ointment on your skin lol 😀
I wish it worked for me. Irritated my skin .
I have used pore strips way back, but it left my skin with tiny little lines that ended up looking like wrinkles and they just got deeper so I gave up on these as a bad job
I used everything mentioned in this video and I agree, for me the more complicated and more products you use in your face the more problem. I am suffering from Acne because of PCOS. My skin care consist of Cerave Salicylic Acid Cleanser(morning) Neutrogena Moisturizer and sunscreen. At night I use Cerave normal cleanser neutrogena moisturizer and cerave retinol. And my skin thanks me. I do get pimple one or 2 depending on my diet and sleep. So folks, MAKE IT SIMPLE.
Hi there! Thanks for talking on the behalf of many skincare experts! I work for a huge cosmetic retail line which focuses on makeup and skincare as the majority and I can’t tell you enough how frustrating it is to learn that my clients are practicing skincare in invasive ways just because they get the wrong education. Too much junk is on the internet nowadays so I’m always grateful for content like this I consider to be GOLD! THANK YOU! I am a skincare expert btw (as part of the nature of my job) but only on the over-the-counter product level and not a professional like you but I aspire to go to a professional level in future! While it feels awesome to educate others, it is mentally draining hearing the same issues pop-up at the same time! But oh well, these kinds of things can’t really be prevented anyway!
I noticed that every time I used physical exfoliators, red spots from acne that had already disappeared from my skin, appeared again and they were one more time very noticeable.
I definitely used pore strips as a teen. But then I was doing EVERYTHING wrong. I scrubbed and scrubbed with all these drying harsh cleansers not realizing that my skin is naturally slightly dry so my skin was trying so hard to save itself by producing more oil the more I scrubbed. Thankfully I only used the strips about once a month and in college my family took a vacation to Maui where I discovered coconut milk bar soap that didn't make my sunburn crack and bleed like the face soaps I was always using and I went "wait.... maybe that's the problem" my whole skin care routine changed and my acne all but vanished by being contrary to everything I'd been told and moisturizing my zits away.
Haha same I scrubbed and scrubbed too
I suddenly remember using ‘SNAP’ during the 70’s to fight acne. 🙄
You're not alone 😭 I used these disposable scrubbing pads that were literally like the scrubbers on sponges for pots and pans 🫥 they don't even sell them anymore. My mom always told me I was ruining my skin but it made sense to me 😢
I also used straight rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball... I thought I was on to something, it removed the oil and so much invisible dirt. My poor nose was peeling off in layers, horrifying...
And when Biore came out with those pore strips we all used them. We didn't have free dermatological advice available. Modern day Internet could have saved me from a lot of self destruction 💀
(Weirdly I realized I was doing everything wrong on a family vacation too!! I forgot all my products and just washed with a washcloth and water and my skin was so much better.)
@@LunarEleven I think it goes beyond just skincare too tbh. I look back on it and realize, we just did what we were told by the people who were selling products that's what the generation raising us did. We used fabric softener and sorted our laundry by color and never questioned that the two correlated. We ate, bathed, and cared for items like crap until we grew up and questioned why we were listening to the people who wanted our things to wear out so we'd but more stuff. Thankfully some of us had grandparents who knew better. But we were raised in a time where lobbyist marketing were the preachers of home and health care. It was kinda nasty what companies got away with.
I have tried most of the things mentioned except for charcoal mask and blackhead strips. I agree most of them are a gimmick. Although a good physical exfoliator I am not ready to give up quite yet. Been using those on both my face and body for over a decade and never experienced an issue. No breakouts, no red blotches, no viral infections. I listen to my skin, if I feel it was a bit much I give myself a break.
I thought I was doing everything right, until I seen a dermatologist, turns out everything I thought was right was wrong because my skin wasn’t bad original from skin care it was diet, I am allergic to pork and it came out as eczema. So all the additional skin care was only irritating it more because I was still eating pork. 😂
The pore strips never worked for me, the strip always peeled away and left me with a layer of glue on my skin. 😅
Me either, and after peeling it off there would be maybe one or two clogged pores pulled out but nothing more waste of time and money.
Thank you! You’re a very eloquent teacher. I learnt two new words today: ‘touted’ and ‘galvanic’, had to look them up.
Great video and thanks for recommending the better alternatives so we can make better choices! Really appreciate your straightforward presentation. I was so hard on my acne prone skin when I was younger with scrubs and harsh masks - now realise I have sensitive skin and I treat it so much more gently, i was of course making it worse
This has been a real eye opener. I am so used to using pore strips once a month. I didn't realize how damaging they were to the skin! I know that there's always the pain from ripping them off and the slight after burn, but I honestly didn't know they ripped off a layer of skin!
not only that but the strips 'cause the pores to get ultra large. And due to opening them so far it's so much easier for them to get filled up with dirt right away again which basically undos everything you just did with the strip.
marketing... you get balckheads more frequently, thus buy more strips to remove them. gotta admit that the industry is a genius in ripping people off @@jos-josradvanji6203
I'm so pressed at the thumbnail because St Ives Apricot scrub is the ONLY THING that cleans my skin good enough to keep my acne away. Nothing else works and if I slack off, I get acne.
Stuff in the market that doesn't work should be banned
The right message for the right time... I'm starting my skin care after the age of 30 so I still have many doubt and confuse what to use what not to... Really love your message.. love to hear it
this is a strong message for me and other people out there. all these days, I harm my skin accidentally. thanks, Dr.
I always had the feeling that my skin is getting worse after a physically body scrub... after the shower my skin was soft but after one day I've got pimples! Thank you for making this video!
I’ve used St. Ives for probably close to 30 years and I love it. Use what works for you.
I used to do the physical exfoliating with that one product showed in this video, and also the nose strip. It made my facial skin too dry and even had breakouts then. Thanks for the info!
I had horrible skin as a teenager, it cleared up when I was around 19, but my skin was super blotchy and oil after that. In my late 20s, I stopped using foundation and powder on my skin because I was told by an expert that they were just making my skin worse. That was hard to do, but my skin did improve. In my mid-30s, I started seeing a naturopath about some health problems and she put me on a very healthy diet and my skin improved much more and no longer felt greasy. About a year later, she put me on liver cleanse supplements (which I wouldn't recommend until you've already been on a healthy diet for at least several months). Within two weeks, my skin turned orangey - like a bad fake tan. It looked awful! However, I continued to take the supplements and as the orange colour faded, my skin became absolutely radiant. It was crazy - people I'd known for years would just walk up to me and touch my skin, and compliment it. It was wonderful! So my advice for radiant skin is a very healthy diet - and keep your liver in tip-top condition! :)
omg pls spill how to contact your naturopath!
Can you give me some advices for healthy diet?
@@vvup.things just take enough rest and eat less sugar, oily foods and start eating more fruit with vitamin c like pineapple or orange. I promise it works for me :)
I'm just going to add in here. . . WATER. Your pores want the gunk out too but most Americans do not drink enough water. Water is needed for your pores to self clean as they are intended to do. Your face doesn't want to be too dry or too oily but needs water to help moderate this issue. Your skin to remain supple and heal requires water. WATER. People should always have a water bottle on them and drink plenty of water and many would see a huge improvement in their skin. I don't know your naturopath but I know mine and I had to really increase my water intake plus the dietary changes which may be different for each person based on their needs. Water helps the body eliminate toxins of all kinds. WATER!!!
@@Lizzard2060 - Yes, I completely agree! Water is so necessary for optimal health and radiant skin. As a kid and teenager, I always drank milk, juice or pop. It wasn't until I was in my early 20s that I started forcing myself to drink water. I hated it!! But I kept at it, and it wasn't long until I started loving water. It's been my favourite beverage for more 30 years now. I feel sad when I think about people who drink diet pop all the time and how unhealthy that is. If people swapped out their pop and juice for water, there would be a lot less health problems! :)
Thank God, I never used these skincare trends, cos' in the first place I don't have the budget to purchase LOL; though I have an Ultrasonic brush which it's on my drawers I never use it. I always chose products that are comfortable for my skin.
I also never use these products
The only skincare products I own are a face wash, a toner, lotion and a sunscreen
(minimalist + broke) 😅
Same here ...same 😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂buti nlng tlg..walang budget..
I have one of the ultrasonic brushes also, used it four or five times, never used it again...don't even know why. 🤷🏻♀️
Cringing at the fact that I’ve bought all of these things at some point in my life…. And now I’m trying to finally have a good skin care routine. Wish I did this sooner
i wish i watched this video back then because i used exfoliators and it breaks me out so badd i literally went from skin glass skin to acne prone skin 😔
This video was so informative! So I've been using St ives for 10 years! I gotta be honest, it's worked REALLY well for me. I exfoliate 1-2 per week, and it's really helped me to ease away my dull skin, makes my skin glow, feel soft, etc. I feel as though I'm the outlier in this situation though, so I don't want anyone to start using it if it hurts their skin. Everyone's skin is unique in that way :) I'm probably gonna keep using St ives, because my skin looks dull and blackheads appears more when I didn’t used for a long time. But I am glad I watched this video in case I want to switch it up!
It works for me too... Plus there are other types u can choose... The heavy one is peach n crushed almonf kernal....the famous one
Although it’s working for you right now you should try alternatives that are better. It’s not worth putting your skin through that stress. Chemical exfoliants are so much better from experience.
Sadly it doesnt works on me. My flawless face became sensitive after that. I used it because it worked on my friend so i wanted to give it a try too, hoping my skin would get super flawless ahah, ended up different. 😕maybe bcos i wasnt being grateful😂
@@sweetstrawberry8738 if u have good skin. Just maintain it... U are lucky. I was having similar issue before, my skin was good but i tried to use some products, its getting worse. But u know what make it worse, i change other products to make it better but nah it doesnt work. Do rescue your skin before it turns bad.
@@secretsoul6882 it turned bad already for me😭 i regret the day i started exfoliating my face😢 then i started using another and another product to save my face but i just make it worse. 😢 its been months im suffering from this. Huhu.
Thank you very much for the info Dr. Before this, there are so many seller promoting their product to me that are listed on the video. Now I am more understand and well aware.
I'm really grateful that I found this video today. Now I know what to use on my skin.
I was using both physical exfoliants and exfoliating gloves earlier this year. I did notice a micro tear on my thigh months later and I have stopped it since then. However, I had terrible ringworm a few months afterwards which I think I was so susceptible to because my skin had become so weak.
I'm still treating the ringworm presently and I hope I get it rid of it all soon. I'm never using any of those again!
You’re only susceptible if you have a weak immune system, not a weakened skin. It’s also contagious.
Great video! I only disagree with one of those items- I absolutely swear by my exfoliating gloves. I have such dry legs. I use this sparsely and my skin is so much smoother.
Can you show us images revealing how our skin is damaged before and after using physical exfoliator?
Those gloves on the body have been a game chnager for my ingrown hairs and killaris pitaris or whatever it's called. I simply wash and then use a little lotion after shower and my skin is soft amd blemish free. Which I use to get ance on my body before I started to exfolite regularly
I love the gloves on my legs before shaving, really leave my legs super smooth.
I used all those stuff until recently. I owned physical exfoliators , ultrasonic brush, face wipes and gloves. I still have my unused pore strips and peel masks at home somewhere. My skin is fairly clear but i always had problem with skinpore and blackheads. Then i heard about chemical peelers and bought korean ones. Since then my black heads disappeared! My pores are still there but they are not black inside like before. I finally understand that i haven been just damaging my skin all those years just to clean my pores deeply.
Oh my the memories generated here! I used the physical exfoliation and I remember my face being bright red like a lobster afterward! I also used the pore strips and it caused a skin tear in my teenage skin!!! I also used the glove and also killed my skin on my body!!! My Oma taught me good skin care and I just went back to that (Korean skin care regimen) and I’ve never had and issue and my skin is happy.
I have an ultrasonic brush and it's definitely not 5-10mins but 1min. They have this beeping sound that notifies you when to move on to the next area. After 1 miniute the brush stops vibrating.
I used to work in a clinical spa that specialized in facials, peels, injectables etc..I remember the estheticians would say how harmful the sonic brushes were that they were leaving pits in their clients skin. Micellar water is good to remove some makeup but some oil based removers clean the skin better.
Very Good, Clear and Concise. I can listen to you All Day! Thank you Sooooo much for sharing.👏
Thanks I thought so too. I never thought using physical exfoliators/scrubs made any sense, it always tore my skin.
I’m glad the Ultrasonic brush was mentioned. It’s way too abrasive for the skin. I’m shocked coconut oil wasn’t mentioned in this video tho. Coconut oil is a no-go if you have oily skin.
Because it works for some people. The ones in video are bad for anyone
I used avocado oil, coconut always messed up my skin.
I use almond oil!
Coconut oil can work for some people no matter dry or oily, the problem is that it can cause the type of acne that is hard sore bumps on the face. However, using oil as a makeup remover or cleanser actually works really well because it calms down oil production and keeps your face hydrated. I have oily/combination and breakout prone skin and using olive and avocado oil as a face wash was the best thing I ever did for it. It is also great for dry arms and legs in winter, I put it on before getting out of the shower and my skin is much happier.
Coconut oil never works for anything… I used it on my hair once and my hair fell out
So many languages and you decided to speak the truth. Thank you for making this video, you helped me a lot, especially because the topic of skin care fascinates me, I did not fully understand many things but, that's more because I speak Spanish and very little English and the other subtitles don't even say so.
I used exfoliating gloves in the shower 😮😅
That's fine, if gentle. Exfoliating gloves are great for the body
I tried St.Ives exfoliating wash as well and it was the first time I ever got an extreme breakout because of it… Now Im frantically trying to fix the mess 😭….
Never using that product again.
My skincare routine:
1) pick skin with tweezers
2) manual exfoliation with sand
3) a good sunscreen
pick skin with tweezers?
@@RubyTwilite Yes! The coarser the better! Glass is the best if you can get it.
Used the Biore pore strips... all can say about that is it stuck onto the skin of my nose so strong that I was in pain trying to pull it off. After a little time I finally got it off and noticed the pain was from the strip pulling off SKIN along with the SMALL amount of blackheads! Won't be doing that again... Thanks for the informative video!. .👩🏻 👏🏻
Ughhh thats sounds painful
If this happens to anyone else, just get the strip wet again and it will come right off no pain.
Good lord...mine never stuck!!! NEVER!!!
@@sallyohmygollly yeah, if I accidentally leave it on too long (multitasking) I’ll spray the strip a little more with water.
For me it worked well bc i only had 1 big inflamed blackhead but yea i feel like it stripped the natural oil that i need for my skin so im not using it again
you can’t pay me to stop using my exfoliating gloves 😂😂😂
My face is too oily for pore strips and peel off mask, they don’t really do anything and aren’t hard or painful to take off. I was a bit disappointed when I tried it because it did nothing but now I’m kinda relieved I didn’t damage my face.
love that they not only talking about the same old thing about skincare and stopping me from wasting my money plus damaging my skin
Very informative, thank you for educating us about skin care.
I used to use all these products as a teenager(except for the massager), but as an adult it has been years since I used any of these products. I do have exfoliation gloves, but I only use them a few times a year when I was feeling very dirty or my skin had uneven tanning, but I will consider a chemical exfoliant lotion now instead
Thank you for your video clip! very helpful! whenever it's painful, it's no good for our skin.
Just started my skincare journey and this is really helping. I used physical exfoliators in the past but thank goodness I threw them out because of how sensitive and day my skin felt after a few uses. I was considering getting a sonic brush but I'm going to stay now thanks to you sir. Thank you for sharing this information so we can do our skincare journey safely.
Lactic acid, or sacylic acid lotions for body are usually expensive :( . Im not dare to use them, so i'll keep use scrub for body.
I use an exfoliating cloth on my body every few months, and my skin has been better for it, but effective cleansing/moisturizing reduced the need for extra exfoliation overall. Good skincare really does reduce the need for extra intervention.
I did tried every thing he said and he is right. My skin became worst, acnes everywhere, red skin on some parts, sensitive skin etc.. i stopped them ALL and went to a clinic, now my skin back to normal and i will never use them again. No matter ho hype the trend is now.
I love exfoliating gloves. Been apart of my Chinese heritage and after using it weekly for so many years it's the best exfoliation for the body. I usually soak 30 min in the tub for the skin to sog and then get to business.
You need a dry brush
Same as a moroccan, I'll be to differ with him on that point, it works for me and it helps my body keep a clear and nice body skin.
@@k8lynmae it's too rough... an exfoliating glove, used once a week is more than enough.
