Most of us have experienced scrolling through social media when a random influencer pops up and shows you “10 top ways to make skincare out of fruits and vegetables” I mean it’s great that we can be resourceful to save money, especially in this economy! But the rise of short form content is causing misinformation to be spread at an alarming rate - we can’t be doing background and qualification checks on everything, so we end up taking people's word when they share advice. Nowadays beauty standards are becoming a lot more unattainable but also a lot more accessible thanks to the normalization of cosmetic procedures. I’ve seen at least 10 tiktoks of people being their own plastic surgeons at home while following a Tiktok tutorial. The hyularon pen for lip fillers and ear piercing devices are just a few I’ve seen.

[@KewlKat626]

Oh my god! I was just talking to my mom about this girl making her own 'clean' make up and thinking of selling it!? She was talking about how she didn't understand why make up had to have all these 'chemicals' in them. Like, girl... THAT'S A PRESERVATIVE, IT'LL MOLD WITHOUT IT!!! IT'S CALLED SHELF LIFE. It was ironic too cause she said she was sick of 'green washing', companies making 'green' versions of their products instead of just making all their products 'green' which IS an actually issue with the commercialization of environmental consciousness but she failed to recognize that her own belief that 'chemicals' = bad is a symptom of the same 'green washing'.

[@shannarafryer3111]

⁠@@shannarafryer3111it’s people themselves who started that whole conspiracy of “chemicals” being bad to scare others not companies. And then those people (like the ones in the tiktok) formed businesses based around that idea. Cant blame companies for this one imo. These people are scammers. They are trying to capitalize on their fanbase with misinformation and fear mongering.

[@virgofairy88]

I don’t like green washing-a lot of those “clean” brands have much shorter shelf life because they don’t have preservatives in them. Preservatives in our food are not good, but because make up is man made-you do need them-otherwise your eyeshadow palette will start growing mold in six months. It also needs to be labeled tested for safety before it’s sold. I say we leave makeup formulation to the chemists.

[@crystaleunoia3974]

The fact that there's always a chance of hitting a vein or nerve when getting aesthetic injections makes this even worse. There's still a slim chance the injections could do irreparable damage to your face even when you're getting them from an experienced professional. I'm sure those chances are much bigger for people doing it at home, on themselves, untrained, without official medical equipment. Annnnd they most likely aren't prepared if it all goes wrong 😮‍💨

"this is botox" the 2 week old mince in the back of the fridge is botox too, but that doesn't mean you should rub it on your face. do people forget that botulinum is one of the most powerful neurotoxins?

[@GogiRegion]

Botulinum toxin has the lowest LD50 of any molecule. Terrifying.

[@lunayen]

Most people don't even know what botulinum *is.* They just assume that botox is some sort of chemical.

[@baby.nay.]

And I think they’re forgetting that it has to be injected into your muscles to actually have the desired effect, which is technically just a side effect as it was formulated for people that actually have debilitating muscle tension and convulsion problems. I have a disease of my nervous system and I have to get it every three months. It’s kinda no joke. Definitely serious shit

10:45 "You don't know how much vitamin C those products you buy at the store contain!" Ignoring the fact that a lot of products do list how much vitamin C they have, is this man telling me he knows exactly how much vitamin C is in every single orange peel he zests?? The size, amount of peel, and amount of vitamin C in the peel is gonna be different for each orange!

[@GogiRegion]

Plus, boiling Vitamin C breaks it down, meaning that even if he knew how much was in the orange peels, there would be way less of it in the final product.

[@DeadKraken]

Plus plus too much of a good thing is too much. High levels of L ascorbic acid will irritate your skin and destroy your skin barrier, even a 10% concentration is too much for most people. There is a reason why skincare has the percentage of vitamn C on the labels, and this is why. And there are other forms of vitamin C that are much more stable, less irritating and can be suspended in a water-based solution that absorbs much better, while L ascorbic acid needs to be suspended in oil-based solution to not go bad in 3 seconds.

[@Hans-iq3fn]

Plus he’s not making pure vitamin C, his stuff is tainted with citrus oil which isn’t supposed to be put on your face because it reacts with the sun and causes burns.

I don’t know what the formulators were thinking, and they’re professionals…I can’t imagine how much worse that DIY concoction would be. Also I think she was trying to go for some kind of micellar water or oil cleanser thing, which makes me laugh…don’t you need a detergent in there of some kind? It’s just gonna make a mess…

​@@dubblebubbletoilandtrouble6646 to be fair, I have managed to make a super effective waterproof eye makeup remover by following an even simpler recipe....

I don’t mind giving questionable advice to the KZbin algorithm, but for humans with actual earlobes… don’t go to Claire’s to get your ears pierced if you’ve got access to a piercing/tattoo parlor. The machines they use cause a lot more trauma to the earlobe than is really necessary, and they’re not always properly sanitized. I got mine pierced at Claire’s and it turned out fine, but if I could go back I’d rather trust a professional than a part-timer with rudimentary training

For those who are not aware, make sure to drain your cut aloe leaves so the gross yellow resin drains out! It contains latex and will cause skin irritation. I drain twice and also like to rinse the aloe again after peeling it.

[@highestqualitypigiron]

pressurized injection actually causes more tissue damage than needles which means higher likelihood of scar tissue forming, more swelling, more bruising. But a lot of people (including myself) have a fear of needles so a needle-less option seems less scary/ more beginner friendly when in reality its the opposite.

Oh, the eyeshadow+gloss thing I "learned" from cosplayers back in 2013, they said you should make a VERY SMALL AMOUNT (preferably for A SINGLE USE amount) of "custom lip gloss". One even said that you should put the eyeshadow on the lips ad then coat it with lip gloss precisely for this reason. Seeing people making a whole bottle of custom lip gloss had me squirming in disgust.

[@biljam972]

The problem with that hyaluronic pen is that it's not precise. It just shots the product deep into skin, much deeper and stronger than injection. And there lies the danger. You could clog the blood vessel or at best, make yourself look lumpy.

I love following HowToCookThat on here, Ann Reardon has done a ton of social media food and craft debunking videos, and she breaks down why, scientifically, the recipe just could not work the way the video claims it does. She also makes sure to try each recipe (unless it's so bonkers it's a health hazard) and shows off how the original uploader probably faked their results by showing evidence of jump cuts or even what they had to do to get their final product. After watching a bunch of her videos, it's been way easier to spot insta/tiktok recipes that are likely fake/edited so I don't waste my time and ingredients on trying them!

I'm a doctor in Europe, with two specialities: the first and main one, emergencies and catastrophes, and the second one, plastic, aesthetics and anti-ageing. Without getting into too much technicalities and legislations (which may vary depending where you live), plastic work done by a doctor is expensive for several reasons: first, usually materials are top class that can only be bought by doctors with a certificate in plastics, and they are most definitely not cheap (one syringe of a good quality hialuronic acid costs around 150€) Second, doctors need to buy the material and equipment in case things go wrong during the procedure and they need to revert the damage - cases of people who have gone blind because of a poorly done lip filler exist, for example. Third, it's an investment on our part. Sure, a client may pay 400 euros for a lip filler, but first I paid 10.000€ to learn how to do face fillers, and I still need to pay thousands more to keep up-to-date with new and better materials and techniques. So clients are also paying for just how much experience and knowledge the doctor has. A cool peel with CO2 laser may cost around 200-300€, but the machine costs between 40.000 to 80.000€ (plus maintenance). Honestly, for me plastics and aesthetics is therapeutic, because I'm dealing with healthy people who want to feel better with themselves - stark contrast with the brutal cases I see in emergencies. And I'm all for people who want to feel better with themselves, but here's a piece of advice: first, check the credentials of the person who is going to do your procedure, and check the materials used, otherwise you may end up as one of my patients in emergency, and I may not be able to help if the damage is beyond medical control.

"let's mix oil and water" Ummm yeah so about that

[@SilverDragonJay]

I mean, you can mix oil and water, It just takes a lot of work and separates out easily. A good hack is adding an egg! It stabilizes the emulsion and adds a bit of protein to the mixture. Enjoy your mayonnaise---I mean, make up remover ;) (if you actually want to make mayonnaise for eating though, its typically recommended to use lemon juice or vinegar. While technically mayonnaise, oil and water is the bare minimum as mayonnaise is, at its core, an oil-in-water emulsion. Adding acid has a variety of benefits such as conferring additional taste, stabilizing the emulsion, and even acting as a weak preservative! And, of course, like the recommendations for homemade cosmetics: only make small batches, store it properly, and discard it readily.)

I thank you for blurring the wounds or just the fallen lip pic.. bc idk it would give me nightmares to know how a black and fallen off lip would look like on a human

[@chris_1412]

Tiktok makes me mad 😂 diy lip fillers have existed for some time (there are some youtube videos from 2+ years ago), but tiktok has turned a lot of these "things you shouldnt do" more viral so even more people are in risk of hurting themselves. Makes me mad haha.

2004. It was on TV! I remember seeing weird "reality" TV shows with people doing that kind of thing

[@Bucky_Winchester]

I used to work in a plastic surgery office, also offering injections and everything under the sun, and I will never understand how people think doing any of it is a good idea 😅 the brochures the patients get about the risks, facts and side-effects are like a horror movie script. No, thank you. People should rather try therapy first to fix the root of their problems before moving on to their looks. Still not safe but much, much safer.

[@Heyurgirlistotallyrandom]

How did u used to warn patients about these procedures?

Folks' insatiable desire for convenient, cheap, and on-demand products has made them forget how much skill, time, and labor it takes to create most goods.

[@SnoozleTheWaterWizard]

Honestly I don't recommend Claire's or Icing for piercings, when I got my seconds done the person put them in really crooked and close to the edge of my earlobe on the right one 😣

[@GogiRegion]

Piercing studios > Claires > DIY

[@Franniiv3]

One of those filler pen links was a Walmart link, they really will be standing in the Crumble Cookie line with DIY botched lips!

When have we gone from 'giving myself bangs at 3am' to 'giving myself plastic surgery with a turkey baster'?

[@mccnbinnie9840]

Social media in my option has become so toxic, you have to second guess and research everything these days.

[@j-lee143]

Re-uploaded? I'll watch it twice ❤

[@TheLurkingDerm]

I'm so jealous! I was supposed to see Twice in Vegas too, but unfortunately I'm still not far enough along recovering from surgery for my doctor give approval. I was seething.

[@bhelliom3]

I use the tea tree oil face wipes and straight tea tree oil in my hair mix (all stable oils, and used immediately), and the labels both say “Avoid contact with eyes” for a reason…. That shit burns.

[@johanna3594]

the "spontaneous urge" was so satisfying like YES you used the right term

[@yaqiza]

tea tree oil in the EYES?????? 💀💀💀💀

[@Coolguyswagger]

Your videos are very comforting to me thank you so much for making them

i just got out of my ive concert and now i get to watch your video life is good 😌

[@leahhatcher2481]

great video! cant finish it bc just the idea of those lip fillers pens is too much for my squeamish brain, so here's a comment to make up for not getting through it haha

[@m.p.6039]

One struggle at a time, indeed. Thanks for this video!

[@basementdwellercosplay]

Never be a cheapskate on anything that is going inside you! That goes for cheap procedures and diy versions of them. And for diy stuff applied to the face should be patch tasted.

[@Ultrasilvam]

The other day I saw a TT from a lady suggesting you keep avocados in water in the fridge to keep them fresh longer. Many people, a microbiologist included, told her it wasn't safe because it can cause bacteria like Listeria to seep through the skin into the fruit. Instead of acknowledging the risk, she responded by posting a video of her pouring a glass of raw milk. 🙃

[@a19523]

your sense of humor is everything!!!

[@NatavionFlabbergast]

In your consistency era❤❤❤

[@Icypebblez]

The fact he keeps including ppls random ass pet has me dying every time.💀

[@Shuurinakisame]

I feel like Vitamin C Dude took a lot of hints from the Shamwow guy. Yell everything, talk fast = super legit. Lol there's a whole Spongebob episode dedicated to yelling salesman that was amazing.

[@malka1762]

afaik about filler, doctors also know how to get rid of it immediately if smth goes wrong during the procedure. people at home can't do that either so yeah, I've seen a ton of horror stories about that at home product basically.

[@audrey1032]

I feel this way about soooo many at home beauty products!! High frequency wands, DERMA ROLLING??, lash lifts??? Like best case scenario you just ness it up and it doesn't work, but worst case scenario is you brutally injur yourself!! Cosmetology licenses exist for a reason, we do a ton of training and continued education to do stuff like this

[@annas_aesthetic]

I loveeee waking up and deciding that this the first video to start my day ❤️

[@HotaruIchimaru]

I hate the "well i did it and I'm fine" argument... like i peirced my own ears. Did a bunch of research on what coud go wrong and how professionals did it. I bought some of those hollow needles and cheap peircings and went to town. No infections or anything. HOWEVER, when my cousin asked me to do hers too like a year and a half later, i adamantly refused. I said "i did it but barely the right way. I don't feel comfortable doing it again. I should've went to a professional so you should too." No way i was risking it lol

[@sleeplessmax]

I thought I watched this....well. time to watch it again

[@cadoodles]

Edvasian, I love you. I was so excited to see a new post from you as my entertainment for washing dishes! The natural eye makeup remover hack made me laugh, scary!! I always used coconut oil and it’s simple and great! Your videos are always so well put together and informative! I feel like I can save someone from getting those air lip fillers now. Bless u 🌸💖🌸🫶

[@chocochipdraws]

The crazy part about the last video is that you can just use coconut oil as a natural makeup remover; she didn’t even need to make a monstrous concoction 😭😭😭

[@bananahpolkadot]

Stuff like this is why I agree with a tiktok ban. There’s not enough content regulation on that platform.

[@jurassicjaws]

A KZbinr I once liked shifted gears a few years ago and was trying to live a simple and minimalist life where she lived off of the land. I have no issue with that. I did have an issue with her making homemade skincare and haircare goop and never mentioning any warnings about the risks. At that point I had become a licensed esthetician and my friend was a licensed aesthetician (yes, there's a difference), and we both politely brought up the risks. Our comments got deleted. Other viewers started saying that they tried her recipes and ended up with allergic reactions and burns, and some commented on the rapid mold growth, and they were ignored. She now has two young children, and I really hope she isn't using her DIY concoctions on them.

[@year-roundkrampus2763]

lmfao at the Claire's ending. I got my ears pierced there and ended up with a staph infection that lasted over a year. DO NOT GET ANYTHING PIERCED AT CLAIRES AHHHH

[@lifeisbutadreamsodreamon]

Mine were fine from Claires

[@KaraNolting]

I cackled when you mentioned kpop concert jump scares - I saw EXO years ago and the number of times I jumped and shouted when something bright and loud happened was...high.
