I feel like a lot of advice about skincare boils down to this: keep it simple and keep it regular. Unless your skin is causing you actual physical pain (such as in the case of cystic acne), a simple routine is likely better. Sure, the necessities aren’t sexy and aren’t being marketed by influencers, but they’re recommended *by doctors* and I trust a doctor who actually went to medical school to study medicine over some influencer.

[@HerbeyStudies]

I have cystic acne and even then your skincare needs to be simple. Yes you may need to spend a bit more on acne treatments but you just need moisturiser, cleanser, exfoliator and sunscreen .

In a time of climate crisis, the overconsumption of beauty products is honestly disgusting. I remember buying hoards of makeup and throwing hundreds of pounds away at the end of the year, many products which had expired and could no longer be used. I felt ashamed at how so much resources were going to waste. That was back in 2018 and I stopped with my overconsumption of makeup. Skincare followed soon after too. This lifestyle just isn’t sustainable, both monetarily and environmentally. It’s no good to buy products in sustainable packaging if most of it will just go in the bin.

[@kepo364]

Make up and skin care are two very different things

Nobody told you to buy hoards of makeup and toss it out though 😐 and makeup lasts a lot longer than companies say; they tell you that so you'll buy more sooner. That's completely your fault 😂 you guys act like because an influencer says "you HAVE TO BUY THIS" you actually have to.

I use Korean skincare, and I agree that some steps may seem unnecessary, but skipping moisturiser after cleansing… It is an easy way to damage your skin's barrier and age it prematurely. Overall, people blindly purchase products advertised by influencers without understanding their purpose, rather than the number of steps in skincare being the issue. Many Koreans use a multi-step skincare routine, and their skin looks flawless

[@jennifermonical6865]

What products do you use please?

[@patricew.4010]

Its called a good dermatologist. Thats what most koreans have outside of makeup....including the men. A good point of this is Shownu and Cocoloco (from tiktok), they look attractive if one is attracted to asian men. However, the closeups of their faces sans makeup shows their faces as patchy, reddish, moley and sometimes scratchy. The thing is they usually wear makeup and no close ups. South koreans are known for their plastic surgery, its disturbing how so few knkw of their dermatologist sector. These are just two men I myself once followed....the amount of female kpop singers with good money sans makeup....👀👀👀👀👀...they arent flawless dear. Theyre just like everyone else, with more damage I believe from caustic product overload.

This was by far my favorite video you’ve done. I’ve always been into skincare and I tell people all the time, do what works for your skin. Research.

[@aarondavis2258]

I feel it's all about your personal experience & skin journey. As a 30 year old Black man, I have a deep interest in skincare & self-care. Yes my skin-routine is simple IE, cleanser, moisturizer & SPF, but I do enjoy researching ingredients, reading the labels on skincare products & trying new items. Thankfully I've been blessed with not having too many skin issues, no matter what I put on my skin. I do agree that many people are just over purchasing skincare for trends, but then there are some folks who just love that industry. Now what does need to END, are people putting food on their face. Which I thought was left back in the 2000's. An avocado or mango smeared on your face is not going to fix your skin issues. Eating it will do more for you.

I definitely have this problem because I grew up raised by my parents who have a scarcity mindset, which I adopted. They grew up in a third world country in the aftermath of a brutal war and communist regime, and resources were scarce and starvation was normal. When they finally escaped to the USA, eventually they built themselves up and began to hoard resources over time. They would buy anything that went on sale even if we didn’t really need it. They raised me in this way (we were also homeless for some time which did not help). Due to these influences, I became someone who gradually began hoarding items as well. When I first got a job as a teenager, I would spend my entire paychecks on art supplies as I loved to do art. And now that I am into skincare, I hoard skincare and buy whenever things are on sale. I have a problem and I’m trying to do better. The only thing I can say is that at least I also gift products to my family so nothing expires before someone can use it. Because of the scarcity mindset I learned, I never waste products. Thanks for this video.

Now he's gotten "extremely" comfortable with his adult acne.👀👀👀👀 More power to him. My skin became very problematic after about 35...and iwishi had his confidence. Igs the real reason I cant let go of face masks.🥺🥺🥺🥺

I have oily skin and use just three things: -water -sugar( scrub once a week) -moisturizer (I use baby creams) You don't need so much products. It will make it worse

[@Nabi_k]

I was buying a lot of skincare for some time to a point there was no space in my drawers for a new products. Now I know which ingredients are the best for me, what works for my skin type and what not✨ I know I spent a lot on skincare but at least I have a good skin now😅

[@sarielgrace]

The most I usually use is 5 things every couple days post evening shower/face cleanse. Toner, blackhead and white head power liquid from corsx, dual power snail essence and a cream to top it off. And of course sunscreen when going out.

[@mollyalathman619]

I used to bought a lot of viral skin care products, and my skin became worse when I used them and I have to got rid of them, some stuff I bought because I saw them everywhere and I wanted to try them because I was so curious , but now I realize that I don't need all of this. All I need is a simple routine and my skin looks so much better than before and I’m trying to change my mindset about buying things if I don't need it, I won't buy it

[@realbeautifulbeauty1556]

Great video, I have always spoke about not layering products. Awareness needs to be more available.

Amount of money I've spent on skincare products in 2024 so far: $0.

The historical part was ok accurate until the Middle Ages . The Middle Ages was the heir of antiquity when it comes to hygiene. The Roman and Greek thermae turned into public baths tubes (for the poorest) or private bath tubes (for the richest). The breaking point actually happened at the very end of the Middle Ages/beginning of Renaissance when it comes to hygiene habits when people started to stop bathing like completely stopped. Moreover you mistake the word Renaissance with the whole early modern era. Renaissance is only 16th century. People were still "dirty" up to the 2nd half of the 18th century. And even afterwards, the daily bath was definitely not a thing for an average person even in ghe 1960s for material/financial reason.

THANK YOU for those concluding point!!! It was driving me crazy that the critics and dermatologist were sounding just as crazy as the companies who sell to them. They recommended simpler skincare routines, using less products or trying different ingredients when the answer is more basic; diet, lifestyle, sleep and exercise.

[@BoujeeGrapes]

This Neutrogena Grapefruit Facewash & Moisturizer for $11.99 each has never failed me. Proactive almost took me out in high school. It dried out my skin so bad, looked like I severe eczema.

[@wintermoon7003]

THAT'S WHAT I'M USING! I love it! Though, I will buy the Biore charcoal for oily prone skin and love it! I love both of those brands and stick to them! I have ventured to try other products but it always left my skin feeling... less than amazing! Just very greasy and oily no matter how little I would use. It would make my face feel gross.

Keep it simple when it comes to skincare. Natural and not expensive products period. Sunscreen is just as if not more important than any skincare.

[@mniellie]

I have sensitive skin, but I'm allergic to aloe vera-- which is in almost every single sensitive skin product. I've tried dozens of skin products, and the only thing that made my skin **glow** was Tatcha, which is like... $150+ for a month's supply. I've found solace in Cerave cleanser and Hers moisturizers, the only two things that don't irritate my skin that also don't cause allergic reactions. Thanks for this wonderful video. You make great content.

[@jarrodakelsaw]

Omg, I’m allergic to aloe, too. 😢 I thought I was the only one. It’s suck because all the best skin care products have aloe.

[@mniellie]

@@jarrodakelsaw especially sunscreens and hand sanitizers! It's so difficult to find a sunscreen or sanitizer that doesn't have aloe in it.

[@jarrodakelsaw]

@@mniellie Walmart brand sunscreen equate and the inkey list has no aloe

[@leeknowspudding0]

I get an allergic reaction from CeraVe, but i really love the Cetaphil moisturizer. Its also aloe Vera free and ofc fragrance free etc

[@leeknowspudding0]

​@@mniellie in my experience, korean sunscreens are very good at that. The ones i have are all suitable for sensitive skin and they don't contain aloe vera

[@nuzhat413]

Im 20 years old and this is my minimalistic skincare routine (PM) 1.Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser (I don't double cleanse unless i am wearing any makeup ) 2. Adapalene 0.1 cream 3.Cetaphil daily hydrating lotion My skin texture pigmentation has improved a lot and looks really healthy glowy I'm so grateful. " Less is more" has actually worked for me .

[@supershepherd]

All I use is a cleanser, moisturizer, retinol serum, hyaluronic acid serum, and an under eyes cream. I need to find a good sunscreen but I haven’t yet. I have sensitive skin so the idea of using anything more or constantly changing what I’m using terrifies me.

[@illise]

I remember some people from Clean and Clear went to my HS and convinced us that we all needed to use their products, they gave us a bunch of products. I stupidly used them. I have extremely dry skin, after a few days I looked like I had powder on my face as it was so dry because of the alcohol. Funny thing some years later I won on a magazine a whole kit of clean and clear products, gave them all away to a friend who had acne

[@mikkiberger]

After testing sooooo much over the years, simple really is best (I’m also a trained esthetician). Definitely recommend only using 2 active ingredients MAX in a routine to not overwhelm your skin barrier. Morning time I use bioderma sensibo micellar water and the good molecules SPF. Night time I use whatever fragrance free foaming cleanser I have that month, adapalene gel, and then I mix gold bond eczema lotion with 3 drops of castor or rosehip seed oil and done. Cheap, easy, stress free👍🏻 My sensitive acne prone skin is thriving with this!

[@MinecraftssakTM]

I love all of these people recommending "anti aging" stuff while looking 20 years older while me here being 23 looking 15 because I only used water all my life because i'm allergic to most of this stuff

[@dreamymami]

My skin feels better when I put less products! All I used was micellar water with niacinamide and zinc, BHA cleanser (sometimes), snail mucin serum, spot treat, and SPF! I don't exfoliate anymore since I can get it from my BHA cleanser. On top of that, I do PRP from time to time. It's less time consuming imo and I get to do other things in life!

[@TomaytoPotahto]

I got so influenced by the overconsumption of skincare till at one point my brain just shut off and refused to do any skincare cause i thought any product that i use is 'not good enough'.. now i just went back to using my good ol' hatomugi skincare. 🤷‍♀️

[@ememscorner]

I used to use all the products of the ordinary, body shop and so many brands at Sephora, it took me years to realize that it actually irritated my skin and made me breakout more. Now all I use is Kojic acid soap and milk toner and my skin has never looked better and not as sensitive. Also helped on my budget too.

[@user-di5sr4ei1t]

I used proactiv when i was young and i still used it as an adult now. proactiv was a good cleanser and help my acne and i love it.

[@35478]

I don't care what lotion etc.. but personally i like that i am simple.. i use coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter anything natural 100% i will use from head to toe.. and that is it.. idk all this mixtures of chemicals..😅

[@sasamafrass]

I just go back and forth between CeraVe sa cleanser and hydrating cleanser and their am and pm moisturizers and I have the best skin I have ever had. I wish I had something like that earlier because I burned my skin so bad as a teen and young adult in the 90s and 00s 😭

[@weightsinfish]

I've tried Proactiv twice. Once as a teen, & again as an adult. Each time it would make my skin burn/tingle, like there was acid on my skin. It was painful & so uncomfortable. Didn't help with my acne at all either.

[@thisLollieolive]

[@simplybri3608]

I fell into the over consumption with skin care and makeup but I’ve cut down significantly. I only use 5 skincare products. Cleanser, toner/exfoliant, tretinion, sunscreen and moisturizer. Same with makeup I stick with what’s been working. I don’t have the urge to try everything anymore.

[@dyslexicgslvt]

Me I never fell for the overconsumption of skincare or ever indulging in a extensive skincare routine mostly because there's only so much you can do with multiple products, but also spending that much on products especially when companies want to push out small sizes or one time use products never quite interested me. Not saying i have the most perfect skin but sometimes having just the basics makes me feel less overwhelmed and pressured. But if i had the finances and time i would probably be focusing on my skincare and hair routine on the daily, but that's just me.

[@amandarecoveryjones8216]

[@TM-nb9zf]

I remember my brother got proactive...it worked for him. But after 1 cycle of it. I remember trying for fun and it burned the corners of my eyes...( skin around my eyes...not the eyeball). My mom insisted it was because my skin didnt need it. But i thought it was petty sad that the ingredients was that strong. This was 2006

[@cookiesncream8490]

During my teenager years, I only use clenser and moisturizer, as moisturizer I only use aloe vera because it cool down my skin and makes my skin plumpy and shiny if I wear them overnight. On the day I had sports or outdoor activity I use sunscreen that can be wash off with cleanser to save money lol. I get perfect skin now eventhough I'm 24 y/o. These are still my routine but with a toner as an extra if I'm near my period because now I'm prone to get acne on week before my period.

[@keziahmoligi2725]

I feel like most people who have over consumptions of products are the ones who probably get PR packages or are influencers

[@TheAMDiaries]

I have a skincare brand that I started for teens (I'm a teen myself, 16) my kits are 3 to 4 steps and 98% natural ingredients. The problem with my targeted audience (teens) is that they aren't interested because it's not "trendy". My products are very affordable, a whole kit is less than one bottle of drunk elephant lol I have found my new target are the people just outside of early teens (18 to mid 20) because they are actually focused on clearing their skin instead of buying trendy products that do nothing for them. I love it when I get messages from satisfied customers. They are just never teen age....oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol

[@ninaweinberg5008]

Also most dermatologists would recomend to use as much as you need and as little as possible. Most get away with cleanser,moisturizer ans sunscreen.

The more I tried on my skin the worse it got, the skin ‘purge’ is the biggest marketing bullpoop imo because it is impossible for the average consumer to tell the difference between, irritation, allergic reaction spots, clogging/breaking out and a genuine ‘purge’ - the amount of times I’ve pushed through the, it gets worse before it gets better period only to wreck my skin 😅
