Transcripts

well hey guys in today's video I'm gonna

share with you 10 skin care products I

don't buy stuff that I don't buy I don't

use I have no interest in using some of

these products I may have purchased and

used in the past but I'm not really

interested in using them moving forward

so yeah and if you are new here the

first product should come as no surprise

to you I do not use eye creams why I

creams are unnecessary

whatever moisturizer you are using on

your face should be just fine to use

around your eyes the skin around your

eyes is more likely to develop

irritation from ingredients so a lot of

eye creams are formulated to have fewer

ingredients but honestly if you take a

step back and really look at the big

picture your moisturizer should kind of

speak to a minimal ingredient list and

be just fine to use around your eyes

moisturizers that I use on my face are

going to be more than fine to use around

my eyes the moisturizer that you use on

your face newsflash it doesn't stay put

perfectly it's not like it's glued down

to the skin where you put it it moves

around and transfers to the skin around

your eyelids and so to say that like

you're using a separate moisturizer like

like there's this define anatomic

boundaries between the skin on your

cheek and your your eyes and product you

cannot cross that boundary is ridiculous

yeah most moisturizers are more than

fine to use around the skin of the

eyelids

that being said things you don't want to

put there are gonna be ingredients that

are intended to exfoliate vitamin C

serum shouldn't go there because it's

very acidic the skin around your eyelids

cannot handle it but I mean that's not a

moisturizer exfoliating acids you don't

want to put around your eyelids and so

it's always prudent to take a step back

and not put stuff there but it doesn't

mean that you need a separate

moisturizer or for your eyelids that's

just that's just a gimmick so yeah don't

waste my time on eye creams second

product you will not see me buying you

at all is a rosewater spray my gosh I

cannot walk into a store looking at the

skincare products and not see some kind

of rosewater mist spray or what have you

why don't I use these well in general

facial sprays are a little gimmicky you

spray water on your face and then that

water evaporates and as it evaporates it

can draw more water out of your skin

making it more dry and irritating in the

case of rosewater there's nothing in

rosewater that is evidence-based for

providing any skin benefit so you spray

your face with what is essentially a

perfume and then the water in the rose

water evaporates out and makes your skin

more dry more irritated and it leaves

behind the kind of rose ingredients that

people believe are helpful but we really

don't have any evidence for that and

more often than not can cause irritation

that's not to say though that I'm

opposed to all facial sprays some facial

sprays have active ingredients in them

that are moisturizing and you know can

benefit the skin with the caveat that if

you use a facial spray apply it

mist it onto your face and then put a

moisturizer on over it to lock in that

active ingredient within the spray the

next product I don't buy toners toners

is something you will not see me buying

and when I say toner you know the

definition of toner has morphed a lot

over the past few years especially with

the interest in k-beauty and Japanese

skincare they defined toner as something

very different I'm specifically talking

about Western toners Western toners are

alcohol based products that originally

were intended to balance out the pH of

the skin and help remove residue from

cleansing and this used to be important

because soaps and cleansers were really

about very harsh pH they were alive base

soaps and these old-school soaps that

had a really harsh alkalyn really harsh

alkaline pH they will leave behind soap

come on a soap scum film on your skin so

toners were necessary to balance that

out and remove that but the

manufacturing of soap and cleansers has

come a long long way and soaps and

cleansers are pH balanced for the skin

so this is not an issue and therefore

these toners are not necessary

these toners often have alcohols in them

which you know are not the devil but

they definitely can dry out your skin

and irritate your skin these - yeah

toners are pretty much obsolete with the

exception of a lot of products on this

in the skincare market claimed to be

toners and these are actually liquids

that have active ingredients in them

usually for acne like salicylic acid

toners I'm not opposed to those for

people with with acne but you know if

you don't have acne there's there's

really no need to use a toner and it can

definitely dry out and irritate your

skin so I don't recommend them or use

them fourth thing I do not waste my time

money or efforts on are fad ingredients

ingredients that are trending and that

people get excited about and that you

see like when you walk in the store you

see multiple Browns with new lines being

launched that feature set ingredient

things like charcoal turmeric rosewater

CBD you name it all of these ingredients

you know manufacturers they have a way

of taking maybe one or two little tiny

studies that we have in the literature

and going wild with them like in the

case of probiotics and skin care I mean

we have a few studies and conditions

like acne eczema seborrhoeic dermatitis

that suggests that topical probiotics

might be helpful for those skin

conditions but all the studies in those

different skin conditions with

probiotics they use different strains

they look at different end points there

are so much there's so much variability

that we really don't have the kind of

studies that we need to really say if

these are beneficial furthermore we

don't have any studies to suggest that

if you don't have these inflammatory

skin conditions

like acne eczema seborrheic dermatitis

that you really need to be using these

things or what the right strain is it's

cetera so that's an example same thing

with turmeric I see that all the time in

skincare products it's really hard to

formulate it but that's not gonna stop

manufacturers from pumping it into a lot

of products and these ingredients that

get marketed so heavily that a you know

it becomes a narrative must-have

ingredient and my comment sections and

my videos my Instagram comments get

flooded with please comment please

discuss like good products with this

ingredient it's like take a step back we

don't really have any data to show that

you need that or it's important or that

your skin even gives to wits about it so

I don't get excited about trending

ingredients that's not to say that I

don't try these ingredients out a lot of

times products are sent to me because of

my presence on YouTube and you guys

might want me to talk about them so I do

but yeah so I don't get excited about

trending ingredients whatsoever and nor

should you I mean don't drop everything

buy a new like skincare product or

skincare line because it's got some new

jazzy trending ingredient it's largely

being marketed to you as something that

you need when in reality there's zero

data to suggest that you actually do

need it product number five you will not

see me buying is water wipes water wipes

like makeup wipes cleansing wipes baby

wipes I don't buy wipes as a matter of

fact the only time I think I can recall

engaging in wipe usage is when dining in

a restaurant where the entree was

intended to be eaten with one's hands

and afterwards the waiter or waitress

would bring you a water wipe to you or

wipe your hands when it comes to

cleansing wipes do not clean your skin

they don't remove makeup they don't

remove dirt they don't remove sebum or

oil they just kind of move it around

they don't even help break it up and

another issue with these products is

that they have ingredients in them that

leave behind a film on the skin

can cause irritation and a lot of these

water wipes have preservatives in them

like methyl isothiocyanate

people do become allergic to that and

water wipes are a major major cause of

that type of ski an allergy a major

reason for that it's not just the makeup

wipes in the you know face washing wipes

or whatever you want to call them baby

wipes are another culprit I don't have

babies so I have no need to buy baby

wipes but if you have a young child be

aware of the fact that water wipes can

cause a lot of irritation in the diaper

area and be a cause of diaper dermatitis

because they leave that residue behind

that can be irritating to the baby skin

other reason I don't buy water wipes is

they are not the best thing for the

environment product number six that I do

not buy are going to be scrubs scrub

masks body scrubs exfoliating scrubs

anything that has like sand

Kakui seed nut shells I don't buy those

things

why because simply bathing on a daily

basis washing your face on a daily basis

is going to help with the exfoliation of

those dead crusty skin cells on the top

layer of the skin the rough mechanical

exfoliants in scrubs just cause a lot of

issues and cause irritation and and

whatnot so I don't use those I don't

even have a particularly sensitive scan

I just find those things a complete

waste of time plus they make a mess they

make a mess I mean I've been sent these

products before and I end up using them

on my feet and they are messy they get

all over the shower and I just can't

stand those those scrubs yeah I don't

hummus scrubs no I mean yeah I don't use

those product number seven you will not

see me waste a dime on it's going to be

a lash serum now I don't have any issues

with my lashes I

happen to be happy with them but if I

had thin sparse eyelashes I still would

not buy last serums because they are a

gimmick and they can cause problems it

can cause

eyelid irritation rashes it's not rather

as a matter of fact there was a lawsuit

against one of these lash serum

companies I won't name any names but for

not properly just I think was a lawsuit

or the FTC came down on one of these

launched serum groups for not properly

disclosing the risks of these last

serums of irritation and went on people

developing really bad problems and if

you're trying to improve the health of

your eyelashes you don't want to put

things on the lashes that can irritate

the skin around your eyelids because

that irritation can lead to loss of

eyelashes an eyelash breakage so I don't

recommend those you know prescription by

Matta procced aka Latisse can and does

help in lash growth but it too comes

with these risks of irritation your eye

ice can change color I mean there are

several problems that can arise just for

the prescription stuff that we actually

know works but on the cosmetic market

you know the regulation is a lot more

loosey-goosey in terms of side effects

and to me it's just more trouble than

it's worth for people more risks of

irritation and problems no evidence to

support that these you know cosmetic

last serums actually regrow lashes so I

don't buy them I don't use them I would

never use them if I had lash problems

and I don't recommend that you guys use

them yeah I'm not into the last serums

but I'm always getting questions what's

a good lash serum what's a good last

serum Milosh serum

next thing you will not see me buy and

is a trending trendy ingredient or thing

to buy is facial oils squalene oil rose

hip oil hemp seed oil CBD oil oil oil I

don't buy oils for my face because I use

a moisturizer and moisturizers

emollients in them which do the same

thing as oils smooth down the surface of

the skin cells and create a smooth

smooth feeling and you can lock in a

little bit of hydration I don't get

caught up in different types of oils or

anything like that

you know skin care marketing will start

telling you that certain oils are good

for certain skin types and they have

these antioxidant compounds that are

going to address pore size and smooth

all this stuff is just bogus nonsense

when it comes to putting oils on the

skin you know to say that to say that

any one type of oil whether it be hemp

seed oil or any of these other exotic

oils has benefit to the skin over

mineral oil

I mean prove it prove that I have not

seen not seeing any Studies on that a

spot that doesn't keep skin care

marketing from selling a boatload of

overpriced oil to people so I don't buy

oil facial oils now I do buy cleansing

oils cleansing oils are an oil with

emulsifier in it to help break up things

like water resistance sunscreen using a

cleansing oil is a more efficient way to

remove things like cosmetics sebum and

water resistant sunscreen in the case of

water resistant sunscreen especially

that's actually been shown so I do use

cleansing oils but I do not buy facial

oils to leave on the skinny other reason

why I'm not into facial oils like I'm

now especially a lot of plant oils is

that they're not pure substances so they

have different compounds in them that

can oxidize when exposed to light and

error and whatnot and degrade and become

very irritating a lot of people's acne

will be aggravated by some of these oils

it's hard to predict who that is but the

skincare market tries to tries to trick

you and tell you that certain oils are

acne safe and others are not and that's

that's like complete that's like a

complete made-up story that they're

telling you

I mean people with acne their acne can

be sensitive

- these oils and it's not like a

specific oil over another so I don't

waste time with them and I'm not like a

famine now if you use a facial oil and

you enjoy it that's great if it doesn't

cause any problems for you you like the

way it looks you know I can see why a

lot of people especially people who wear

makeup like that amoliant effect before

they put on their makeup fine like I

don't necessarily have a problem with

them they can cause issues for people

but it's just a thing for me like why

would I buy that I use a moisturizer it

already does that for me

product number nine I do not buy anymore

I used to I used to buy a lot and review

on this channel is sheet masks nothing

against sheet masks I just reached a

point where I found myself buying them

and not using them I am somebody who

doesn't have attention span - I don't

know what it is sheet masks I just they

sit in a box and I don't use them so I

stopped buying them and there's an I

don't have any problem with sheet masks

namely those that are free of fragrance

they can help with skin hydration if you

have particularly dry skin like they can

help but then they're not like ever a

permanent solution plus I was getting

sent a lot of sheet masks and it just

became my apartment became a house full

of sheet masks yeah I I got tired of

them I didn't I I wasn't using them so I

stopped buying them and coming back to

you kind of why I don't buy wives not

the best thing for the environment these

single-use sheet masks a lot of sheet

masks are laden with nothing but

irritating ingredients and fragrance and

then other sheet masks they might have

ingredients that are actually good but

it's like alright do you really want to

use this ingredient if so you need to be

using it on some consistent basis not in

a one time sheet mask kind of kind of a

deal so I don't know I stopped using

them again I don't have a problem with

them I I do use those under-eye hydrogel

I mask I like doing those but and you

know you can make the argument of

are just as wasteful and like what's the

point of that was for some reason I

enjoy doing those they're relaxing for

me

and I prefer that was but the sheet

masks I just got to a point where as

like I don't enjoy doing these and I

guess because a hydrogel I'm asked I can

multitask more easily with as opposed to

the sheet mask I mean maybe it's

something as goofy as that but yeah gave

up on the sheet Mouse and no longer buy

them product number tone is something I

would never in my entire life by never

have bought never will buy and strongly

encouraged you ladies out there not to

buy and that is feminine washes these

are horrible they alter the pH

downstairs make you predisposed to

things like yeast infections bacterial

infections and they can cause a lot of

irritation here's the thing the female

genital tract is a self-cleaning device

you don't need to deodorize it perfume

it or anything like that and it can lead

to a lot of problems using products like

this not only as I said alters a pH

makes you more predisposed to yeast

infections bacterial infections but

these things can cause a lot of chronic

irritation and I think where people run

into problems with these is I when you

first use something like this at least

I'm guessing cuz I've never used

anything like this I think when you

first use something like this it's

heavily fragranced so you think that

like you have you're somehow cleaner and

then what ends up happening is that

after a few days or whatever then the

issues start arising with the product

the fragrance the the natural bacteria

start kind of breaking up that fragrance

and whatnot and it smells foul it alters

your pH it causes irritation that

irritation and whatnot can lead to

foul-smelling discharge and I think

people then believe oh it's time to use

the the feminine wash with a feminine

deodorant they're so bad you guys they

are so bad for for that area you do not

you

don't need to use any type of cleansing

product just water I mean you really

don't you really I mean it cleans itself

like and along the lines of the feminine

washes looping back to the whites that I

don't use a lot of these brands have

gotten on the white trained and they

have scented wipes and so you're running

into the same issue that I mentioned

with the facial wipes that you're

leaving behind a residue a preservative

plus fragrance now it can really cause a

lot of problems so I don't recommend

them and stay away from there no there

no there no good yeah they've even

gotten on the white train I mean what is

it with I've noticed this as a side note

like it's something it's something about

the drugstore market where whites are or

where it's odd a lot of them more like

trendy indie brands or the stuff in

Sephora less than the white train but

it's like if you are a drugstore

skincare brand you have to have a white

it's like a requirement how do you guys

notice not Cetaphil has wipes Neutrogena

has wipes Sarah B has wipes simple has

wipes yeah everybody's got wipes I mean

it's like what are we wiping wash your

face stop wiping it yeah don't a kid I

can't with the white so those are ten

products I do not buy or use and if you

guys are new here I have another video

from a long time ago talking about why I

don't buy or you use vitamin C serums

and that is still another product I

don't buy so it's an eleventh one but

yeah if you're wondering like why I

didn't mention that yeah I don't I don't

buy that either but you can watch that

video if you want an explanation as to

why but share in the comments below
