[@yourdadsof1325]

you still have to wear it though ^^' I don't really go outside either but dr.dre has a good video on whether you should wear sunscreen inside or not. Long story short: yes,because windows.

[@luvtori4447]

o c e a n b l u e any natural light and you still need sun screen! hyram says this a lot

[@anastasiyasylimtsva2489]

Wearing sunscreen non-stop is NO good because : 1. Vitamin D. 2. Red skin signalizes when it’s out of anti-oxidants, read about it. 3. NIR spectrum which causes mutation in skin cells and gets deeper through your skin that UVa/UVb, but you don’t know that cause of SPF. 3. Most of SPF themself are not 100% safe any way. Again read more research about it, cancer stats etc. The most safe would be protecting yourself from getting red skin or use SPF in extreme cases.

[@nomoredream7689]

@@yourdadsof1325 you guys in the comment section probably haven't been in a state where you have your windows (like not open open but only the top open) with the curtains closed and lived like that a short 3 months without seeing any daylight Btw, since the moon reflects sunlight, shouldn't you use sunscreen at night as well? 😂😂😂

EXFOLIATION: start off slowly like once every two weeks etc. if you notice soreness and redness and is painful then girl stop yesterday. if you notice fewer dark spots and more glowy then it's good, PATCH TEST products so that you don’t get an allergic reaction, don’t let the tip-off the product touch your face because that’s where bacteria grows and bacteria is bad

[@teresabritten9812]

dyu know whether you’re meant to apply a chemical exfoliant? i wanna use paulas choice bha liquid in the morning do i put it on straight after cleansing (i use cerave idk if that matters lol) or do i moisturise and then put the paulas choice bha on? and do you moisturise after the paulas choice or what?

[@LARA.113]

Me:* putting on suncream bc Hyram said to. * Ireland: * rains *

[@BaHahaA4]

Hahahahah But☝🏼 I actually think it might still be important to wear sunscreen even when it’s cloudy/rainy because there are still UV rays which can cause damage (I think). In summer in Australia we get a fair bit of rain and cloudy gloomy days and it sometimes feels like winter, but when I check the UV index it’s 13 (extremely high). You wouldn’t think you’d need a sunscreen 😳

[@anacristinafonseca8891]

UV rays are not stopped by clouds or rain, even if visible light looses intensity.

Before watching Hyram I was using TJ Maxx whatever cheap cleanser and moisturizers I could find (Clean & Clear included) I’d use sheet masks like half the week, SUPER ABRASIVE EXFOLIATORS because I was told they’d clear up dark spots, I used spf like once every three weeks and I couldn’t figure out why my acne was getting so bad. Jesus I’m just now realizing how ass my routine was. Now I’m on Curology, I use Cetaphil, Cerave, the Ordinary and sunscreen EVERY MORNING. My skin is already doing so much better thanks to you !!!! Thank you !!!

[@JamieYAYme]

I'm pretty sure the way I found you was your video on the ordinary peel. Then I watched this one and found out about how scrubs are bad and immediately my st. Ives blackhead scrub turned into foot scrub, my skin care routine started to grow, and I learned from you everyday, I'd watch at least one video. Now, I know the bumps on my face are milia, not moles like I thought were growing. They've started coming out on their own with very little help (not popping but I did have to help my "pearl" get out of one spot.) My skin has changed so much for the better, and you've were my first skin care youtuber I found, besides dr. Pimple popper, that's how we all start off, though. So thank you, Hyram. You are a skin care guru.

Sometimes physical exfoliation is kind of necessary for my face, particularly the extra-greasy t-zone and chin. But I use a clean terry cloth rag for exfoliation, gently rubbed in circles, or a fine clay mask (which I count as exfoliation because when you wash it off it has a little mechanical action against the skin).

I’ve been using the ordinary glycolic acid toner. It’s really all I need these days for my acne which has been absolutely out of control. And I’ve personally been seeing really good results. It’s clearing it up pretty damn quickly. I’m also using the ordinary buffet with copper peptides (I think they reformulated it completely because that’s all I can find and I’m not mad at it. But yeah, that toner is working wonders for me. I also use a Clarisonic twice daily so I don’t have to tone too often. But that’s pretty much what I’m using for my face....among other products.😅

[@ChestersonJack]

I use the Cure brand “Natural Aqua Gel” as a chemical exfoliant and it works really well considering my skin is super sensitive. Idk all the ingredients bc it’s in Japanese but I’ve been using it for the past couple years and I’ve gotten no harmful effects or anything. Edit: It should be noted that I use it in tandem with my doctor prescribed facewash that has some exfoliating acids in it as well. The main issue is that the wash can leave my face a little dry and flaky, so I use the Cure gel to make sure there’s no flakes of skin still sitting on the surface before I put on my moisturizer and sunscreen. This combo I’ve found works best in terms of not irritating my skin as well as keeping my acne managed... My acne isn’t completely gone, but that’s more of an issue with me and my bad habits in terms of touching my face and keeping clean than it is with the products I use,

video: finishes me: WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MYSELF ALL THESE YEARS

[@scottbrown6551]

Dear Mr. Hyrum: Terrific video! Just to add an additional bit of info for everyone: the chemical exfoliates (BHA & AHA) need to be in the correct ph range, i.e. 3.2 to 4.0. Anything greater than 4.0 won’t exfoliate. Most good quality formulas are within that range; if you aren’t sure you can contact the company and ask. I am very happy to find your channel and applaud your efforts to educate folks about the beauty industry. You are doing a terrific job. I have a few subjects I would love to see you cover, if you are interested. If not, no problem. I’ll still watch your channel with hardly a bitterness ;-)

[@xintheshower]

where does the neutrogena oil free acne wash fall?

[@scottbrown6551]

no its me: the better cleansers fall between 4.5 and 7. I don’t know the ph of the product you mention, however, you can check their website and see if it has that info. In some cases the company may not tell you, stating that it is part of their “trade secret” of some kind. That is just nonsense, and if the company does state something along that line I would look for another cleanser. There’s a lot of good stuff out there.

[@ashleigh8482]

Turtle Mayhem Cassandra Bankson has a good video on this

[@celestematos5752]

Turtle Mayhem To follow up, definitely apply a moisturizer and sunscreen because it does sensitize your skin to the sun and can be extremely harmful without any sunscreen on. it is recommended not to use it with Vitamin C or retinol, and give it a day to apply niacinamide to not interfere with process of the peeling solution! Hope that helps a little.

[@adagioborntrager4456]

Em I think you’ve still missing the point. And I don’t say this it of hate or trying to argue but skin damage is real. Those invisible UVA rays mutate your skin at a cellular level. This can cause many different diseases including skin cancer. Your body can learn to regenerate after exposure to UVB rays (sunburns) but UVA can cause lifelong hurt. This is why wearing even just a thin layer of sunscreen on the face at all times is important because UVA can get you anytime even when it’s cloudy.
