4 Events That Changed The Way I View Skincare & Beauty Forever

[@nancygage7679]

You always seem to know before everyone else. If it’s something you’re talking about, I know for my own sake to pay attention. Makes me think. Appreciate you so much.

I'm not sure what to believe anymore in the skincare world. Mineral vs chemical. US regulations vs Korean, retinoids being all they're cracked up to be, etc. Seems like so much gets overhyped then discredited later. Then turns out there was some merit after all. The only thing I'm sure of is i've spent way too much on skincare! Another thing is not realizing how much i was being deceived by influencers years ago. Nowadays, more people are realizing they get huge royalties and incentives to review brands. Its one reason i like your channel. I may not always agree with every single opinion (who does), but at least i know you are giving your honest opinion and buying things yourself.

[@watchingreviews528]

A PETA approval seal has always been a complete joke, but Leaping Bunny is supposed to be rigorous about verifying the information. It would be sad if it turned out their approval isn’t trustworthy either.

[@crucitasquillace5072]

Wow…all these are eye opening. Thanks for mentioning these. I didn’t know this. Your skin is looking great. ❤

[@dianejoa1754]

Thank you so much for all the work you do.i can’t imagine how much research goes into all you do…and the expense! I really trust your opinion because you are one of the FEW who is not selling something.

[@karlaharvey2623]

Hi Sarah , CameraMan and furr babies. I am so thankful for having found you! Great topic! I Only use Korean SPF’s, but honestly just stopped wearing them as NONE ever absorb and or work? And Thank You for talking about Paula’s Choice, I listened to a podcast back in May or June about this and will never purchase anything again from her brand. Since starting my skincare journey 3-1/2 yrs ago, I’ve been skeptical of everything that so many Content Creators “ Highly Recommended “ especially when it’s a paid promotion! I have went out and bought expensive “ Must Haves” and they were horrible. I have unsubscribed to several and now only follow a handful of channels. It’s sad as they get greedy and with that, they become so dishonest. Oops I went in a rant. Anyways, thank you for making this video as we as consumers really need to do our own research! Your channel should have a million followers. ❤

[@NOBSBeauty]

I love a good rant so no worries here! 🤗 I tend to notice when certain brands become all the "hype" - like Tirtir and BeautyPie - that tends to be when those brands are schilling out big $$$ to influencers to rave about their stuff. Makes me kinda sad that so many have sold out...

[@karlaharvey2623]

@@NOBSBeauty I will never subscribe to Beauty Pie. And will never purchase TirTir Cushion Foundation. There is so so much dishonesty on so many beauty channels.

Great video, thanks Sarah!

Yesss n This is Gonna b so Informative Sarah🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….

[@Kbeautywithmamamaja]

Get this awful occlusive feeling when thinking about mineral sunscreen. Brings me back to my childhood sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens are a true blessing.

[@jayrhs]

I thought for sure the Mario Badescu scandal would be here 😋

[@ericaerica8031]

That’s the one that made me pay more attention.

[@sealife564]

Good video!! Yeah all of these and a few more changedy views as well.

[@AlexiaArdelean]

Really informative video, thank you for making it. I didn't know about the Benzene case in products, nor about the 3M's pollution, but I'm not surprised about it. Luckily I've never used those brand's items. Huge companies like to hide their mess for such a long time, like DuPont did with the C8, see the movie called Dark Waters. As for certifications, based on my studies about sustainable fashionin the UK, brands can put anything on their items because nobody comes to check it or they can just simply buy the certification because it's not as highly detailed as what they should be fit to or just simply bonker, and it applies to everything that our skin comes to contact with, such as laundry detergents, dyes, etc. I guess the same applies for beauty items, too. Lots of greenwashing going on as we already know.

[@EarthFirstGoVegan]

I only use chemical sunscreens. I hate the mineral ones.

[@traceytrotter9934]

Australian Gold is wonderful if you want a tinted sunscreen with some coverage. Otherwise I am with you!

[@Firkant2]

Its got unnecessary irritating ingredients like eucalyptus though and is a bit drying in my experience.

[@traceytrotter9934]

@@Firkant2 Put on a thick moisturizer first. I am 64 and used to have super oily skin. Now it is combo. AG is probably not good for dry skin.

[@Pubslife]

My skin was ruined by using Purito sunscreen. Hyperpigmentation like crazy. I was also using tretinoin at the time which made the damage worse. It makes me so 😠 angry.

[@Firkant2]

Awful!

[@LauraLVTGW]

I think it was Mario Badescu & the steroid scandal, that influenced me.

[@NOBSBeauty]

You are so right- that one was shocking - really showed that any brand can really do whatever they want and they might not get caught for years.

[@sealife564]

Yup this was ridiculous and shocking as well.

[@TiaVaylik]

I stopped using all Paula's Choice products. Had to buy a5 new products to replace the items I was using

[@jeffthompson549]

she is scummy. Her research on denat.alcohol was wrong and has me turned me off of her.

[@Olovoll]

Yep agree the K beauty sunscreen scandal me

[@sealife564]

Same.

[@aggiaggi8306]

Hello, is La Roche Possay Anthelios SPF 50 fluid to be trusted? I really like it but heard some concerns

[@annettemartin4287]

Read the ingredients list, know what the ingredients are, and what they do. Armed with this knowledge, if you are unwilling to ingest a teaspoon of the product, do not put it on your face. Organic Ghee from grass fed cows works great.

[@karoleenhee8452]

Pretty scary for Korean sunscreens, i hope Haruharu black rice mineral sunscreen is not a lie 😢

[@LisaNix2]

I’m not sure if I trust your link for the La Roche Posay - Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50 at Walmart- only $11? Wonder if this is legit? No one else seems to sell your favorite sunscreen, unless they changed the formula.

[@sandranorden5217]

I didn’t know about Paula’s Choice …. What do I do now?

[@bonnierodriguez2491]

Do you think that the LRP sunscreens being sold by distributors through the Walmart website are legit?

[@NOBSBeauty]

I would be cautious, Walmart is where Amazon was about 5 years ago. I'm pretty leery of it because it is difficult to tell where the products are coming from- if they are real, fake, or old stock. I found this site to be one of the best for LRP sunscreens: www.soin-et-nature.com/en/ But having to pay for shipping is a bummer. Caretobeauty.com is the other site I've had good luck with.

I hate mineral sunscreen…they irritate my skin lie crazy

[@SlMONSAYS]

I just can't bring myself to use anything that wasn't manufactured in the United States. The K-Beauty stuff seemed to pop up out of nowhere. The products have to get here somehow and just the thought of how long they are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations for only God knows how long. Those products can spend MONTHS in shipping containers traveling the water before finally being unloaded, inspected and diverted to their final destination. Although, to be completely honest, the biggest reason I don't touch imported items is I'm (admittedly) far too paranoid - I just don't trust the formulations, let alone the high probability of receiving knockoffs. My opinion may not be the popular one, but it's definitely my own.

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

I agree with you. Especially China. They have a terrible history of toxic ingredients, not to mention the slave labor.

[@amandak.4246]

...months? order from olive young, and it'll take like 5 days. seems like paranoia

Always only use products ie…skin care that the study is published so you can read the science…..otherwise this is what’s happening….you absolutely mst use medical grade so to speak products…..I must have the information before I use something…the rest of this is not……is NOT skin care…..
