Skincare Habits I Wish Everyone Would STOP Doing | Beauty with Susan Yara

[@amy-mareeganley351]

“Just sat there nodding your head with me” big vibe the whole way through

[@olivianickell3035]

Ugh yes. When people give advice they give it like it’s an ultimatum. For example, an influencer said that Differin gel was irritating to their skin and they didn’t like it, so I didn’t use it. Then I heard several dermatologists say that it was good for acne, and I was desperate. So I tried it finally, working my way up to using it every day after several months, and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I’m finally comfortable in my own skin. I don’t feel like I have to hide it. And I would’ve missed out on it if I hadn’t listened to other dermatologists and their opinions.

[@leyshkapabon3822]

Yes a rant video is exactly what I need right now ✨

And a comment complaining and calling it a rant video is exactly what I need right now ✨ ✨ ✨

[@oliviapfleger4147]

as an esthetician who as watched you for years, i have adamantly told my clients to avoid makeup wipes for the same reason you do. however, as someone who also has sensory issues, i get the appeal… the water running down your arms when washing your face and getting all over the place can be an “ick” or deter people from doing a skincare routine entirely. personally, i shower at night so i can properly double cleanse but use a micellar water in the morning, which i feel like is gives me the best of both worlds, but i know this isn’t possible for everyone. i guess my biggest lesson from working with people in the skincare industry is that sometimes finding a routine that someone can stick to is more important than creating the most advantageous one, especially when they are just starting their skincare journey. but i will always recommend micellar water over makeup wipes 😂

[@Mixedmakeup]

Yes! Good point.

[@lvsterr12]

You’re the reason I stopped using makeup wipes. I’ve always felt irritation especially around my eyes when using them and tried micellar water and still felt it because of how much i had to rub that area to remove my mascara and when I found your channel I discovered what a cleansing balm was and it saved my skin and the irritation so thank you! 🙏🏼

[@alw87642]

Naturium and Krave Beauty are by FAR the best influencer skincare brands. I’m absolutely obsessed with Naturium.

[@dadatina]

I've been noticing a big increase in videos that say "YOU'VE BEEN DOING YOUR SKINCARE WRONG" "YOU'VE BEEN APPLYING YOUR SUNSCREEN THE WRONG WAY" or "STOP USING CHEAP BRANDS" and it really worries me because the "information" given in those types of videos come with no context or is just the opinion of one person, but THAT's what goes viral. I think the messaging in those ultimatum-type videos is really dangerous and can actually be very disrespectful to other creators that share information in a more responsible (alas not so viral) way. Loved the video, as always!

[@Mixedmakeup]

So true!

[@alw87642]

I totally agree about chemical sunscreen!! I’m sensitive to it. I haven’t found a chemical sunscreen that I can use on my face. I love them on my body, since you can get really lightweight sprays and they’re easy to apply, but they burn my eyes SO badly. That being said, I’m a pretty fair skinned white woman. People of color don’t have the luxury of having their pick of mineral sunscreens, and discouraging them from using chemical filters will likely cause a lot of people to not use sunscreen.

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Haveeee you tried Korean chemical sunscreens? I had the same issue with American ones but tried a Korean sunscreen last summer and was amazed now I’m hooked on Korean chemical sunscreens. I could glob it into my eyes and have zero reaction. Technology there has come such a long way

[@NeilDavis10]

Trader Joe's has a facial sunscreen that's great! Haven't felt irritation or stinging around the eyes since using it

[@Sahara333]

@@angelinebiswas7611I agree. Also Japanese sunscreens are really good too, the ones that don’t have a white case. I use Biore water gel essence. They stopped making it November 2022 but I think they have another chemical sunscreen with no white cast.

[@tyttivirtanen2538]

Agree about the airplane skincare routine! I was one of those 4years ago on my 10h flight to Japan. Now, I just moisturize really well (and early enough) before the flight and take a shower when arriving at the hotel.

[@haleygardner5059]

Mineral sunscreens are sooo drying to my skin. But I kept using them bc I thought they were “better” for sensitive skin. I finally switched to a chemical sunscreen & it works for me so much better!

[@allymacredie1043]

Same here!

[@trishajohnson4692]

Yes to the updated information! I recently went to a dermatologist who denied me a refill on tranexamic acid because they never prescribed it to a patient before and never heard any studies from when they went to school. Whereas, i went to another doctor who prescribed it right away! And have been for many years for many clients! Its crazy being denied something that has worked for me just because they never prescribed it before. The outdated doctors are annoying and really hurtful to my time and energy

[@adelebrown4526]

I use Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Some people say it sucks. But it's a godsend for my skin.

[@meaganlingenhoel3836]

[@marcellina4270]

Yessssss

[@Miumiu0404]

Sunscreen sticks and moisturizer sticks are God send for me when I'm in long flights. That being said, I hope Naturium would release a hydrating and moisturizing stick. 👀

[@felicia1805]

thank you susan for a great video! im so so glad that you mentioned the hate on chemical sunscreens!! ive always had great experiences with chemical sunscreens and they work the best on my skin which encourages me to apply it more often. unfortunately i was sucked into the wave of 'chemical sunscreens are bad for your skin and the environment'. lets just say i had a horrible experience trying to test out mineral sunscreens right for me and this wave was much more damaging than beneficial to me- for my pocket and my skin!

[@dianarwaburindore2777]

thanks for this video Susan....I finally gave up on the quest for a mineral sunscreen that I like for my medium and oily skin....after I understood from you and from Lab muffin beauty that there is no issue with chemical sunscreen. I look forward to using the beauty of joseon sunscreen daily. its a joy. waiting for more sunscreens from Naturium

[@trinichandy3049]

Great advice Susan. Thanks for sharing.

[@safdee]

Been a fan for years and this video reminded me why 🙌🏽

[@sarahsevier]

Wow, such an eye-opener video especially about doing skincare routine on the plane. Yes I saw videos of it a lot and i thought its good that they're taking care of their skin on a flight, without realising about the hygiene factor and the dirty air. Thank you for such an insightful video! 🫶🏼✨💜

[@Firefairy1212]

In terms of mixing skincare products, what are your thoughts on Drunk Elephants "smoothie method"? Because that's pretty much exactly what they recommend-mixing pretty much any combo of their products (with a couple exceptions) and applying them at once, rather than layering.

[@prplppltr]

My context (totally agree that people need to add this) is I’m on low dose accutane, super pale, sun sensitive and dry skin. My favourite advice I’ve taken from you is using a cleanser with safflower oil in it and let it sit for a minute for my first cleanse. I use it cosmetics cc during the day and using a cleanser with safflower breaks it down so well in the first cleanse. No redness or anything like that. Thank you!

[@cassidypavlick806]

You changed my skin and life. I love you forever 🤍✨

[@cupiedoll9759]

Thank you Susan, I think these are very valid. I also would like to know what your lipstick 💄 is and what shade please 🙏🏻

[@Fraylovesskincare]

I don't know why, but zinc sunscreens make me itch. Like I'm scratching my face and neck when I use them. Chemicals sunscreen don't do that for and I never have to worry about a white cast with them.

[@jmcd31]

100% agree with all of these. Esp the make up wipes. Last used them on holiday in the airport last year

[@FruScarpia]

So glad to see someone acknowledging this - if you have to do your routine on a long distance flight (f**k off tik-tokkers) please make it fragrance free.

You totally have me looking for all that info in skin care product reviews, all reviews are not created equal. I wish the websites you put the reviews on had that as optional checkboxes, etc when submitting a review like a username and age often are just add skin type or hair type it would be so helpful!

[@allthethingswithmandyandwh8226]

Susan, I bought your Naturium Bio-Lipid body lotion. I love it!!! Just one suggestion. I know tubs aren't for everyone due to the fact they don't like to put there fingers in the lotion and contaminate it. But what about a tub with a pump? That way people who like pumps can use it that way and those of us who like tubs can use it the way they like too. I have about a third of the lotion left but the current pump in the bottle will no longer get it out and because it's so thick, it's hard to take the top of and squeeze it out. And the opening is too small to really get your fingers in. Anywho, I hate to waste so much and thought I'd make the suggestion.:-)

[@amnoirgg8563]

Note to the producers: I love rants 😹😻

[@yoshikomiller4557]

Soooo informative 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rohlehr]

Susan, As someone with a deep skin tone I avoided chemical filters for a very long time because I was/am uncomfortable with the idea that chem filters may be found in your blood. I forgot about that when I bought yours though lol. That said I am still reevaluating my relationship with chemical filters, especially as brands are stepping up their mineral sunscreen game. Online brands like; EleVen, Oath Md, Sonrei and Anya Esthetics have some amazing mineral sunscreens. Drugstore brands are slowly but surely catching up as well ☺️

[@JessieDubois8]

I almost always ask people what their skin type is and what their issues are when they complain about a product. Someone like me, an oily/“normal” skin type who is acne/breakout prone with hyperpigmentation issues will have a completely different experience with, say, a water cream/gel moisturizer than someone who has very dry skin. Or something like a cerave cream, which I hate but they’d love. I also have never mixed my skincare products because, to me, it just seems like common sense not to do that. The Vitamin C subject is interesting and why I tend to go for airless pumps as much as I can (like Timeless’). I figure there’s less of a chance for oxidation and less loss of efficacy than one in a screw open bottle.

[@blueeyedredhead8613]

I stopped using makeup wipes because of you and my skin is breaking out less.

[@kwlo777]

Agree with everything you’ve said!!!

[@ryuichiro.sakuraba]

Makeup wipes seem to be wasteful...I'd take a cleansing balm any day, and micellar water in a pinch. Cleansing balms (or oils, and even good old cold cream) feel more lush on my skin. I prefer chemical filters for sunscreen due to no whitecast - the slightly dewy look of those K-Beauty or Japanese brands is a plus. Isntree and Biore Aqua Rich are my go-to, and there also is a local store brand here called Dermaction from Watsons in SE Asia which is a hybrid formula of chemical filters + nano TiO2 (blends nicely with no noticeable cast on my skin, though it smells like glue as it is fragrance-free lol). All are lovely for both my face and body (pretty reasonably priced too imo). Also, hm, DIY-ing skincare concoctions sounds scary. Saw some DIY sunscreen recipes really ticked me off and sounded scary; who knows how many small gaps there in between the TiO2 particles at a microscopic level and let the UV rays reach the skin?

[@CoushattaL]

I use makeup wipes on work days. I work healthcare so I do 12/13hr shifts 3 times a week. I'm inside all day and not by windows. So I don't wear sunscreen because I get to work when it's dark and I leave when it's dark. I also never wear makeup EVER. So I'm not using make up wipes for make up lol and I never rub my face with them, I use one wipe and gentle go over my face. But I also just use toner, serum, and a moisturizer in the morning. Throughout the day I normay wipe my face with water with my hands due to oil/sweat from the constant movement. At the end of the day I'm so exhausted because I also drive 45 minutes to work and 45 minutes back home. So I just take a makeup wipe and gently wipe my face then quickly do the rest my skincare stuff. Then straight to bed. 😭 My work is soooo exhausting and all I can think of is bed, just wanna rest. 😭😭😭

[@susanwheatley9138]

My family is originally from Scotland so for the most part; we are pale people! Sunscreen is our friend. Eighteen years ago, my sister and BIL adopted a gorgeous Hispanic baby girl. We spread sunscreen on her older sister to keep her pale, we spread sunscreen on E and she turns PURPLE!! After a lot of trial and error, we finally found a couple of products that work for her and she is probably the most consistent with her use. Purple is not her color!

[@Sahara333]

Aww 😅 that used to happen to me with certain sunscreens. My skin would look purple/blue, so it took a while to find sunscreen that didn’t do that. Took forever to find one for my face that also didn’t break it out. Japanese sunscreen, Biore from Japan, works really well on my face and I have sensitive acne prone brown skin. It helps with my hyperpigmentation from my acne not get darker.

[@shea5638]

As a person with allergies and severely compromised lungs- DON'T USE SPRAYS ON AN AIRPLANE!! THE SAME AIR IS RECYCLED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FLIGHT!!! Thank you that is all 😆

[@hausgbear8284]

Airplane air isn't recycled air, idk why people keep saying that, but as a flight engineer it drives me nuts. All the air is replaced in 5-6 minutes on turbofan jets which are usually the engines on commercial flights.

[@shea5638]

@HausGuzlBear " Newer airplane models recirculate as much as 50% of cabin air, decreasing the engine's work. The recirculated air passes through high-efficiency particulate filters before mixing with conditioned fresh air to reenter the passenger compartment." Still not safe for people with allergies and severely compromised lungs

[@hausgbear8284]

@shea5638 it's recycled within that 5-6 minute cycle. It's not harder on the engine to make bleed air. It's just part of the process. Also the HEPA filters are on par with hospital HEPA filters. But the air you take off with is still never going to be the same air you land with (unless you're Kylie Jenner 😂).

[@shea5638]

@hausguzlbear8284 baaahahaha!!! *chef's kiss* Yea it's just bad form to spray anything in an indoor public space in general because of other people's potential health risks and being trapped 20 thousand feet in the air having respiratory failure is no bueno!

They're so irritating and drying! I don't even have dry or sensitive skin and they are SO HARSH I just refuse to use them even if I am camping. I figure out a way to wash my skin correctly so that I don'thave to use those horrible things. Why use that when a cleansing oil or balm will remove makeup without dryness or irritation?

[@alexrusso8029]

@@DimaRakesah If you wash your face afterwards why should you have to worry about any of that? Besides you have to find the right ones. I use the Mac makeup wipes. They're biodegradable btw!

[@DimaRakesah]

@@alexrusso8029 Because if the wipe leaves my skin dry and irritated I am starting off worse than I was before. Cleansing again won't change that, and now I have to mitigate the irritation and dryness. I also find that my skin breaks out from irritation so now I have to deal with blemishes as well. I just don't see a point in using something that will make my skin worse when I could use something gentle that has none of those problems. And I am def not alone. Many people find wipes very irritating and drying, so I don't think suggesting them to people is a good idea because of the common problems they have. If they work for you, fine, but generally speaking they are just not a good product because too many people have reactions to using them.

[@hausgbear8284]

Love this, but idk why everyone says airplane air is recycled air. It's not. On a turbofan jet, it's bleed air from the engine and all of the air gets replaced every 5-6 minutes. When the cabin pressurizes there are outflow valves that have to open due to the engines providing a constant flow of air. If these outflow valves didn't slightly open through out the flight, then the cabin would become overpressurized and explode. The reason the air is so dry is because there is a water filter that takes away 75% of the water in the air otherwise it would freeze the air pack system. Idk who started this rumor but it drives me nuts. Thanks for listening, Your flight engineer friend 🙃

[@Mixedmakeup]

WOW, that’s a great breakdown. Thank you! I’ll stop saying it’s recycled air for sure. But still, it’s dry air, so skip the in-flight skincare.

What about if you applied sunscreen and when you get in the airplane you feel dry, could moisturizer be applied on top of the sunscreen? thank you.

[@morgianasartre6709]

It could, but then you can more or less count that your sunscreen will be useless and you need to apply another layer over moisturiser when it has dried down.

[@turquoiseowl808]

i am really disappointed about the comment about coral reefs. from someone who lives in Hawaii and the efforts that we have made to educate tourist and politicans about encouraging people to use reef safe sunscreens because it has certainly played a role in the damaging of our coral reefs. seeing the lack of fish and life in our oceans more and more each year and to say chemicals in sunscreens have no role in it is incredibly ignorant. please educate yourself on how comments that you make play a role in basic life quality and generational impacts from the younger generation.

[@morgianasartre6709]

I don't think the even spread is that much affected if they mix properly, but they are risking it by playing chemist and interfening with the stability of both formulas, their end product might go bad faster of just lose effectiveness. And they have no idea how much tretinoin is being applied in a given application unless they do some math too, which I doubt.
