[@Gian_sas]

​​@@itsfrosteyy3112you don't have to, but it wont help either. Sugar is absolutely unncesesary and even 1 cookie is already enough to stimulate sebum glands with insuline and create new pimples. The thing is, you only need to eat meats, fruits and vegetables. Anything else is purely for flavor and doesn't help with anything.

[@Gian_sas]

​@@itsfrosteyy3112also, sugar not only worsens acne but it also destroys collagen overtime. So even if you don't have to deal with acne, on the long run your collagen will tank the amount of sugar you ate your whole life and will make your skin look worse.

[@gabrieltaylor2589]

Licensed aesthetician here: this guy's advice is not 100% accurate and has many errors. First of all, beginning his video declaring he "does not care what dermatologist's say" is incredibly flippant and arrogant. You're dismissing experts in their field who have done the work to earn a medical degree and who specialize in skin so this is not an auspicious beginning. Second, while salicylic acid and niacinamide are excellent ingredients they have almost no effect on skin when in a rinse off product like your cleanser as they are not on the skin long enough before being rinsed down the drain. They need to be in leave on products like a toner, serum or moisturizer. Also you need to use a gentle cleanser; not just water. Using water alone does not cleanse the skin as water does not contain surfactants like cleansers do to actually clean the skin. Regarding sunscreen: there is nothing wrong with using a non-mineral based sunscreen. Avobenzone is one of only a few ingredients approved by the FDA for broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with the others being titanium and zinc. This guy also uses the term "non-comedogenic" which has no legal definition and is purely a marketing term. Any brand can claim their products are non-comedogenic and do not have to prove it as there are no agreed upon standards as to what the word really means. I could go on and on...bottom line: do not get your skincare advice from influencers and good looking guys on KZbin. See a licensed skincare professional such as an esethetician or your dermatologist even though this guy thinks he knows better than they do. ;-)

When you wash your T Zone may be dry or oily and you may still have mixed or sensitive skin. A major ingredient he left out for dry skin types is urea.

Recently came across a sunscreen that works for my normal to oily skin. The littlellextra rice berry sunscreen offers strong protection without causing any breakouts. A must-try for people with similar skin issues. Remember to reapply every two hours, particularly if you're outside. I also apply the Vitaminc face serum from riceberry and I am seeing that my skin tone is enhancing gradually.

Retinols are really good, definitively one of my staples. Probably the best anti-aging ingredient and is often used against acne. Would really recommend for anyone (any skin) with the other 3 basics. You can also easily find moisturizing sunscreen to speed up the morning routine. Some dermatologist also say to not cleanse 2 times a day and only do it before bed because it can damage the natural protection our skin makes, just like you don't want to wash yourself more than once a day.

I agree. But anyway, whatever skin type you have, we need a gentle cleanser for every day and one based on AHA/BHA/PHA (make your pick) to use 1-2 times a week. Plus tretinoin. Vitamin C in AM routine before SPF 50+. a Skinceuticals cream cannot replace a good serum over the counter power cream.

Pretty good video for beginners but I would like to add a few things: 2:17 Natural doesn't mean it's better for you, natural skincare can be good / bad depending on what you're doing specifically 2:24 Using a cleansing product twice a day can be too much for dry skin, I would recommend to only cleanse with water in the morning for everyone who isn't oily 2:44 You can also have normal skin, if you can't figure out if an area is dry or oily it might be normal (between dry and oily) 3:33 Exfoliants like salicylic acid (and glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid) probably won't do anything in a cleanser bc you wash everything off again, it makes more sense to look for these ingredients in products that you don't wash off 6:18 Besides retinol you should also not use exfoliants in the morning bc they make your skin more sensitive to the sun, it's also a bad idea to use retinol and exfoliants on the same day 7:25 I wouldn't generally advice to only buy mineral / physical / inorganic sunscreen, chemical / organic sunscreen leaves no white cast and generally feels better but can be too much for sensitive skin, I would recommend mineral for sensitive skin and chemical for everyone else bc it feels much less unpleasant and you're therefore much more likely to use enough of it; also: a low spf is better than no spf and the best sunscreen is the one you actually use My routine recommendation: Morning: cleanse with water, sunscreen Evening: cleanser, serum (if you're willing to do 3 steps), moisturizer My product recommendations: CeraVe cleansers and moisturizers (they have good formulas and clearly communicates what skin type a product is best for) If you want to add a third step in the evening and use a serum after cleansing and before moisturizing I recommend the following serums by The Ordinary: for all skin types (slowly introduce each serum separately, especially if you're sensitive) Retinol serum (1x/w): theordinary.com/en-de/granactive-retinoid-2-emulsion-serum-100419.html Salicylic acid serum (2x/w): theordinary.com/en-de/salicylic-acid-2-solution-exfoliator-100619.html Lactic acid serum (2x/w): theordinary.com/en-de/lactic-acid-10-ha-exfoliator-100426.html Sunscreen (only chemical, bc I don't have enough experience with mineral ones): Normal - Dry: www.yesstyle.com/en/by-wishtrend-uv-defense-moist-cream-sonnencreme-50g/info.html/pid.1114105358 Normal - Oily: www.yesstyle.com/de/beauty-of-joseon-relief-sun-sonnencreme-50-ml/info.html/pid.1107744417

Your fashion recommendations always leave me in awe! I'm curious, what's your secret for pinpointing the perfect pieces, whether it's clothing or accessories?

i’ve never been so confident in taking advice from a video, looking forward to following ur steps thank you!

0:40 idk what dermatologists say but food definitely impacts your skin. Every time I eat chocolate I get acne and otherwise I almost never have it (on my face)

[@stanleyho8009]

I don’t think any dermatologist has ever said that 😂

[@taylan-2170]

@@stanleyho8009they actually do. It’s a well known and accepted fact

[@james_wheelz]

It really depends on your skin. if you have oily or sensitive skin, then less is more. But someone with problematic skin like me need more to have my skin in good shape. Basically i have parts that are oily, parts that are dry, and then sensitive parts. But i’d say not many people have it as complicated as me.

[@Francis81z]

Here are some more helpful tips: 1) take power naps if you can. It helps with eye bags and dark circles 2) have a freshly squeezed lemon drink 4x a week. Its your vit c from within. 3) take b complex vitamins and iron regularly. 4) drink water water water!

[@aidanbalazs3103]

I love how he mentions diet, sleep and overall cleanliness, people try and sell you products claiming it’ll magically give you glass skin, no products matter if you don’t have the basic principles to being clean

We need the summer wardrobe video Brandon 🙏

[@youngtuna2385]

mad respect for not just recommending a ton of chemicals and taking a more thoughtful approach

[@monte1250]

Great video Brandon! I have been recently following a skin care routine and I can assure it makes all the difference. One key part I would like to talk tho: what about the skin in other parts of the body? I understand that the face is the most "direct" form of skincare, but a clean back or chest is as important when going on a swim for example. I would really appreciate a video about how to have clear skin in those areas as well!

[@D_editz728]

That's a valid point

[@chrisevans869]

If you’re talking about acne in general, go for products like body wash with ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. I have a lot of bacne so my dermatologist suggested using naturium’s salicylic body spray, so you can leave on that product on your body instead of washing it off. Since these products are active ingredients, you would want to leave them on so they’re doing the work. If you are using a body wash medium, you’ll want to let the product sit for 4-5 minutes before washing it off. If you use a loofah, switch it out often or buy washable scrubs, cause bacteria grows in moist environments, which can make you breakout. I personally use silicone brushes. If it’s rough, dry textured, bumpy, you can try amlactin. I have eczema, cetaphil and cerave’s basic moisturizers and slugging with a petrolatum based product have really helped manage my dryness. Any itching or rashes, try oatmeal or zinc based products. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation you can try glycolic acid, helps renew your skin and is very light on sensitivity. At the end of the day, talk to your dermatologist. They would know your skin best. I also recommend watching dr dray, doctorly, lab muffin beauty science, if you haven’t heard of them. They give great tips for taking care of your skin.

Cerave is good starting point. They have different type of cleansers, sunscreen and moisturizer.

[@BrandonBalfour]

100%

I never use soap on my face. I moisturize in the morning after washing with warm water. At night I use retinol. And always sunscreen.

Hi brandon I've been watching your videos quite regularly and I can say you do have a complete knowledge of men's fashion and healthcare would like to see for hair care too

[@PoeTréAloisio]

Peep Alex Costa, bro. He's the men's hair GOAT. And he's even created his own hair product line called Forte Series and I can honestly say everything is amazing

[@mikeholbrook8639]

Yes. Fashion and healthcare are so closely related. Fabrics and skin. Really no difference. Just a little more cutting and sewing with one of them - maybe the skin?

[@BigG627]

Man your channel has been blowing uppp. Also I’d like to say, a lot of results come from what you eat. fruit helps a lot. My skin has improved 200% from watching you too. Especially the vitamin C serum. Was very helpful. Everything else works wonders. This is a actual good video

[@TheirKaiser]

The facial hair looks great on you man!

[@Rahiz-qe2qo]

My skin got irritated after I used so many cleansers, face wash, scrub, and DIYs on my skin to get rid of sun tanning and some very little black spot. Then my skin started stinging after using anything, applying anything on it. So I stopped using everything for two weeks and my skin got better. But again, I bought CeraVe Hydrating cleanser and CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion. But after two or three days of using it, I had red bumps all over my cheeks. I was crazy to use so many things and Nothing suits my skin right now........
