Thank you so much for saying dark underarms and knees in poc is normal. As an Indian woman I have been searching for ways to “fix” them for years. After this video, I think I might just learn to accept them! Thank you Michelle!

[@RutujaDicholkar]

+1 for this comment from another Indian. I've myself struggled with it because as most of us I considered it as a "problem" which needs to be fixed. But I hope newer generations realise that it's very much normal.

[@anushkabagde6927]

+2 from another indian! The beauty standards in India can make anyone feel ashamed about their skin. In fact.. sadly, it’s the case with dermatologist also. I have met like 2-3 of them and they’d not consider PIH to be normal. They’re like, it’s cause you scratched your pimple it left a mark behind.. despite of me telling her that I didn’t. I hope people would understand that! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jsmith2747]

Ladies I am also of Indian descent and can relate to the shame related to dark elbows and knees. My body was SCRUBBED raw by my mum with alcohol and soap to "clean" it. Unfortunately I stopped all of my children from kneeling on the ground carpet or anything to prevent hyperpigmentation. Well, I found that using a dyi turmeric mask has helped remove hyperpigmentation. It works and we have most of the ingredients in our kitchen. I hope you have success with this. I've used the chemicals for hyperpigmentation and I dont like it so i am teaching my kids different to build their self esteem and let them know its normal.

[@kimwayman4]

I had a friend who had severe acne all over her body and loooooong hair. She started washing her hair in the shower and then putting it up in a shower cap, then washing her body. That way her hair wasn't dripping excess products onto her body while she was trying to wash. She said it helped a lot!

Yes it also increases the sunscreen I use on my hands. Basically my thought process is that it's doesn't feel good on my face and throwing it away would be a waste so I just smudge it all over my neck and hands.

[@max.c4266]

Late to finding this video but omg putting moisturiser on while skin is still damp? Absolute game changer for me! It sinks in better so I don't end up feeling greasy, and is easier to apply in general. So grateful I found this tip!

[@unsweeteneddoll]

I would love to see a video on body skincare for people who work with harsh chemicals/paints/car fluid. I love the gentle body washes, but they’re not going to get the level of grime I get from my job off of my skin. Example: getting covered in lacquer thinner, motor oil, transmission fluid or even latex paint. Working outdoors and having layers of visible dirt after a day on the job.

[@julietteferrars3097]

My dad would come home covered in black grease from working on cars all day and he always showered with a giant pump style bottle of orange degreaser soap stuff. I would also recommend Dawn, their soaps are really great at removing harsh chemicals and oils.

[@PeachesSkinCare]

I love how you mentioned to take care of our skin on the body. I have always taught our clients that the skin on the body is as important as the skin on the face. I love body oils and sugar body scrubs and using a body brush every time you wash to prevent calloused, crepey skin and darkening. You have about 5 min after your shower ( I think it’s seconds) to lock in Moisture so applying any of these in the shower is a perfect way to have soft healthy skin. 🙌🏻🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care

[@khyatiurfmaya]

Tmi: girl I literally used my Neutrogena toner(with glycolic and salicylic acid) on my butt acne and it cleared out within a month. Ps: stopped using it on my face cause it has alcol denat as 2nd ingredient and gave my closed comedones prolly cause the moisturizer I applied on top would be absorbed a lot more

[@anonymous6594]

Sounds like it would be good for KP too.

[@jessicagomez1760]

[@mariposa3859]

[@khyatiurfmaya]

@@mariposa3859 idts, the skin on the rest of the body is pretty thick, I didn't have cystic acne though..idk about that tbh, it was just discoloration and bumps mostly

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

As I have eczema I can't ignore my body skin and have to moisturise it daily and thoroughly. My best tip is to double moisturise. After a shower with something super gentle, I moisturise damp skin with a moisturiser that contains ceramides, HA and other more expensive ingredients in a thin layer. I then slather on a thick occlusive cream which locks in the moisture and/or body sunscreen depending on the weather. During the Winter I apply another layer of thick cream at the other end of the day from my shower routine. I also twice a week use a chemical exfoliant on rough patches - my fave is Ammeliorate, but always layer on something super moisturising afterwards. When buying body products and paying attention to ingredients, don't be frightened to use a good quality body moisturiser on your face/neck/chest overnight - especially on super dry skin. They're formulated to be much richer/more occlusive than face creams and due to the size they can be really economical to use on the face. I like the LRP Lipikar balm in the Winter as my night cream or sleeping pack (200mls for £15 as opposed to £15 for 40mls of their face cream). This only really works for dry/irritated/atopic skin though and oily skin will hate the greasier feel. I use fragrance free body care due to my own skincare needs and wouldn't advise a heavily scented body cream used on the face, in case that wasn't clear. I live in Scotland where it is cold for much of the year and my skin needs a lot of moisture/hydration. Going from the cold outside to the centrally heated warmer inside plays havoc with my skin on face and body. Other climates will have different challenges. Best wishes.

[@anonymous6594]

What after shower products do you use?

[@AasthaBhansali]

The thing about dark arms and legs - YES!!! Thank you so much for normalising that. As an Indian girl with medium/dusky skin, I would always feel like there was something wrong with my skin when I'd see all my lighter skinned friends (Indian and otherwise) with even coloured knees and elbows. I use a body scrub regularly and also moisturise daily, so I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. If you google "dark knees and elbows", you'd get all these bizarre home remedies like rubbing a lemon, or using baking soda on these areas... I was so fed up. Thank you for clarifying that this was an unrealistic, eurocentric beauty standard!

[@Poemi10304]

I can’t live without hot showers! They relax my face, neck, and shoulders so well! 😭

[@humanbean8590]

Amazing when you're congested too!

[@Daniel-dl6cu]

Me too, it's the highlight of my day sometimes.

[@sundancezimmer4538]

Thank you for speaking on the obsession of having light armpits, knees and elbows when it’s normal for us dark skinned 👏🏾

[@jenniferbrender9972]

I definitely appreciate a fragrance free product! I don't have TOO much sensitivity to fragrance EXCEPT in the winter months (I live in a very cold climate)! I'm also a bartender, so my hands can be more sensitive. I don't avoid it entirely, but I like having the option , and body products really ARE harder to find fragrance free options for.

[@GoldBloodedBeauty]

Wow wow wow using up products on your body that didn’t work on your face... GENIUS!

[@tummius]

I recently started to use all my face-reject serums on my shins cos i have really dry skin on my legs. Then i slap on a ceramide moisturiser. Worked like a charm.

[@IntoBlackHouse]

Id like to add be conscious on the kind of soap you are using. Saponified soaps, like Dr. Bronners, or the pretty handmade bars you see in Whole Foods, have a high pH and are more intensively stripping to the skin. It is much gentler to use a syndet cleanser, like a dove soap bar. In summary: a syndet- based cleanser is gentler and less likely to cause dryness, saponified soaps are more likely to feel harsh and stripping.

[@AllenZen]

interesting!, and do you happen to know if neutral glycerin soaps are good too?

[@Taradays]

I think DOVE removes a lot of good oils though in their soup and then adds it go over products? Also remember as someone who has been to China DOVE owns the Chinese market in body washes sadly. Which means animal testing but a lot of these companies do that and have to for the Chinese market.

[@IntoBlackHouse]

Tara Doherty since their sensitive skin bar is a syndet bar, I think, there is no glycerin produced as that is achieved through saponification. Also this bar soap has a neutral pH. If you check out it’s reviews on makeup alley or many other places, it is rated very high. A lot of people seem to have good luck with using it on their face too. It may not be as gentle and hydrating as say the Bioderma Shower Oil, but I’d say it is very gentle and not harsh.

[@IntoBlackHouse]

Alan Fernandez I am not sure about glycerin bar soaps. If I’m not mistaken most if not all glycerin soaps are make via the saponification process. if you read the formula on the back and it contains saponified oils then you should keep in mind that it is impossible to have a soap like that with a pH less than about 8-9. Honestly though it might not matter as much if it also contains added emollients and occlusives to counteract the higher pH. It just depends on your skin. From my experience the glycerin in glycerin soap doesn’t help much to keep the skin moist. Instead I would suggest using a syndet soap, and after you bathe, and are still damp, slap on your moisturizer over the damp skin. That will help a lot.

[@humanbean8590]

Good point and the silly thing is, I saw a sapon soap company with essential oils added, I think it was Schmitt's which makes those natural deodorants, that marketed itself as being natural and gentle. It's owned by the same company as Dove! But the whole natural thing is it's brand image. I questioned them on social media about their claims that it's gentler bc its natural when Dove (also owned by Unilever) has it's own marketing about how syndets are less striping than soap. The claims of these two brands contradict each other. I guess they are trying to appeal to different areas of consumers.

[@AllenZen]

omg the video i asked for the other day! TYSM!!!! Your information is so captivating! PS: i just started body skincare like 10 days ago since i have body acne as well as on my face, and i've been cleansing, exfoliating (this step every 3 days or so), toning and moisturizing since then, and slowly MAY ACNE IS FADING AWAY. AFTER 5 YEARS, YAY!!!

[@sherryg1838]

Being 60, fair skinned with freckles, and living in the desert almost my entire life, I have a lot of age spots, especially on my arms and hands. I decided against hydroquinone, since you have to stop using it for a period of time and it comes back. Like, what's the point, lol. So far, AHA has been the one thing that will reduce the darkness of my age spots. I use the Paula's Choice 8% AHA, but I want to try Alpha Hydrox AHA Lotion, and Glytone, although it's pricey. I''m also using Eucerin Lotion with lactic acid, which is good, but not as good as AHA. But most of the spots are still there, it only makes a slight difference. Still, I keep trying! Regarding knees, I have found kneeling makes it worse, which I do frequently while cleaning (especially cat litter boxes!). Since avoiding kneeling, my knees are getting lighter. I realize that won't work as well for POC, but it might help a little bit.

[@martinfalkjohansson5204]

Afaik retinoids, especially prescription one's, as well as azelaic acids, work on age spots as well. So if you can afford to visit a doctor you could try out those :)

[@sherryg1838]

@@martinfalkjohansson5204 I am using tretinoin on my face, but not my arms and hands. I have age spots on my face, and they aren't disappearing, but perhaps it's preventing new ones. I have tried azelaic acid on my face, but I didn't notice a difference with age spots. I have seen some lessening of age spots with AHA's on my hands and arms. Thanks for the response!

[@humanbean8590]

Niacinamide and vitamin c are really good for sun spots and not harsh like hydroquinone.

You can call the spots sun spots if you like instead of age spots because I'm 25 and I have a lot of them from getting sunburns at the beach.

Like in a public pool? But if it starts to sting, it's because you didn't clean properly before entering the water. Chloride will attack the bacteria that's on your body, and therefore make you sting or get itchy. But it definitely, dries out your skin.

Ty for saying that arms and legs generally aren't as important to scrub. People online really freaked out about the thought of not washing legs for some reason. I literally do nothing all day and I wash everything else, I think I'm fine.

[@toftail]

Not scrubing them is not the same as "letting soapy water run down"

[@lalaithan]

Yes! I've been wondering what kind of actives I could use on my problem areas.

[@RyaThoughts]

Finally i fine body and hair talk too. I am tried of see face.

[@SaraEleneErkleiv]

This is great, the body often get overlooked. Can you use active ingredients such as niacinamide, retinol and glycolic acid on tattoos? Or will they make it fade faster?

[@girlofwindenburg]

Now i have a use the my glycolic toner that i stopped using because it burned the skin on my face.. thank you!

[@Cabbelle]

Finally !!! A tips for body skincare ❤️❤️❤️

[@oliviabroussard4489]

I have used Panoxyl as a form of deodorant and cleansers that dont work for my face get used on my body. Also, applying unfragranced aloe vera gel before moisturizer helps a bunch and is a budget friendly humectant 'serum' for the body.

I’ve never had problems with hair conditioner on my back because i always wash my hair with my head upside down and before washing the rest of my body. I put the hair conditioner and wrap my hair or pin it up. Then i wash my body and finally i put my head upside down again to remove the hair conditioner and wrap it in a microfiber towel immediately.

I actually like coolish lukewarm showers. I get overheated easily for some reason, even though there's snow on the ground here now. I have to dry the Atoderm body products. I have psoriasis and it gets all broke out when the seasons change. Olay body lotions have niacinamide added so they are something to look into for body actives. Not sure if it contains a sufficient amount though.

Thank you for all of the tips and recommendations for body care.

[@veronica7322]

Brilliant informative video. I'll definitely be using some of these suggested products. Thank you!

FIRST! While I'm here: is it ok to add a niacinamide only topical straight after applying your DIY vit c serum?

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Yep!

[@AJ-ds5gf]

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Thank you!

[@stephm4047]

Thanks for these tips 👍🏻 I will try The Chemistry Brand Hyaluronic and The Ordinary Glycolic. Such a shame The Chemistry Brand Retinoil and Glow oil are full of fragrance because they looked like great body products too. As a body cleanser and moisturizer I use the Cerave SA Cleanser and Cerave balm and quite happy about them. Slightly more affordable than Bioderma. But Bioderma is great too.

My tinder profile says I'm fragrance-free.

I really like using Isdin's Acniben spray. It has AHA and BHA and it sprays amazingly! I do need to hold my breath while doing it, it's such a beast

[@jamieferguson3131]

I definitely need one of those towels form Innisfree!!

[@martinmoore8216]

Absolutely useful, much appreciated.

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I need hot showers for pain relief, so I will put a sleeping pack or something on my face before getting in the shower. But yeah it helps my arthritis

[@beauty_enthusiast]

Have u tried baths with magnesium chloride flakes? It really helps my arthritis.

[@humanbean8590]

@@beauty_enthusiast Is mag sulfate as good? P sure that's what my epsom salts have.
