I’m studying to be an esthetician, have just one year of school left to do out of 4 (would finish this year but corona didn’t let me, LOL) and I’m extremely passionate and fascinated by skin care, chemistry, nature and human bodies. I’m also very passionate about our environment and always have been (was reading all kinds of science and nature magazines growing up - my fave is National Geographic 😊), so I’m into everything that helps protect the environment! Organic, natural products combined with science is the way to go! The problem is that natural doesn’t automatically mean quality or efficiency. It all depends on the product, the correct way of using and applying it, on your skin type and sensitivity... Skin care should be very individually approached. That’s my philosophy behind it. There are some ingredients that are harmful for everyone, but at the same time there are great ingredients that aren’t great for everyone, skin can react to anything really - the good and the bad... so get to know your skin first and be careful because everything that we put on our bodies comes in too! That’s why I like organic products so much! ✨

[@wendylevy9266]

Very comprehensive. I would advise the same precautions that someone would use with a spray sunscreen to be carried over with loose mineral powder SPFs. Hold your breath, blow your nose, walk away from the application area. I prefer using a pressed formula with an old fashioned compact powder puff.

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

wendy levy I agree. The same goes for any loose mineral powder!

Hi. I'm a new subscriber. Found you while looking for Nuface tutorials. You are absolutely beautiful ☺️. I don't know if you've already done a video but I'd like to know a bit about your background. You seem so knowledgeable. Really enjoying your content.

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Yolanda Phibbs hi Yolanda! Thank you for reaching out! You’re so sweet! My channel trailer has a little overview about me (sorry it’s a little overly energetic 😬) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGmaoKChn9aiqLs And if you pop over to my website, I have an about page as well. Thank so much for watching and subscribing!

[@mstoastier.8622]

Thank you for this video!! I only use Mineral Sunscreens but it's so hard finding one that you can use with makeup..so many mineral sunscreens add one of the chemicals you mentioned and they do go on nicer and don't pill as bad, so I'm excited to try these you have listed, (juice beauty didn't cut it for me at all) as I wear sunscreen 365 days come rain or shine because I have Melasma and it's an every day battle, would you happen to have a video on Melasma? I'm an excited new subscriber of a couple of weeks, loving your content!!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Mstoastie R. My pleasure! I’m so glad this was helpful. While I don’t have a video on melasma yet, it’s a good idea. I thought this fall I’d do some videos on hyper pigmentation and treatment options since summer isn’t a good time for deep exfoliation. Thank you so much for watching. Keep a look out ❤️

[@yveyve7115]

Thanks so much. I use the Devita products mentioned. Going to try Luzern and Kari sunscreens. Have you tried any of the Suntegrity products? Thanks!

[@feniwulandari8615]

Great video! ;) I have dry skin, could you recommen any moisturizing, not matte and affordable product please? Thanks :D

[@pineapple365]

What do you think about powdered sunscreens? Do they work the same? And also have you tried the mychelle sunscreens?

[@mewzy2283]

I am curious to know how high an spf is required for wrinkle prevention? Love your channel! I am a new subscriber. ☺️

[@yoga.and.faceyoga]

Thank you! Very clear and informative!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Joyful Heart Yoga I’m glad! Thanks for watching!

[@donnakaye7714]

I'm interested in the devita sunscreen because I'm oily in the Tzone and don't like anything that feels heavy or greasy, but the reviews that I've read are scary, but I noticed they were a few years old and also several mentions of ingredient reformulation and changes to the product. Could you elaborate.

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Donna Kaye Scary in what way?

[@donnakaye7714]

@@TheOrganicEsthetician Guess not scary...aaaah, but different things from changes in formula, chalky on face, not absorbing, foul smell, etc.

[@carolnewlands8630]

I just make sure they are Broad Spectrum or they don't block out both..as you know..the only one here that is is Juice and as you know zinc oxide is tough..it ALWAYS leaves a white film..so at 66 I may have to stick with my Doctor's sunscreen....thank you!!!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

carol newlands Actually zinc oxide is a full spectrum protectant. It blocks both UVA and UVB rays. I find Zinc oxide to leave considerably less residue than titanium. And the products I listed Kari Gran, Honua and Luzern do not leave ANY residue which is why I like them so much and wanted to share them with you. Obviously do what you’d like but the point I was trying to make is that just because your doctor recommends it, doesn’t mean that it’s safe for you. Thanks for watching, Carol!❤️

[@carolnewlands8630]

Oh I so agree with you..I am a certified Holistic practitioner so I understand..my Doctor for many,many years..Dr. Dennis Gross in NYC I do believe the best products for aging skin is when science meets nature..so I am extremely strict in my diet and serums..makeup and the best sunscreens for my skin I go slightly off the grid..many zinc oxide sunscreens have been tough on me...but I don't deny their value..thank you for all you do!!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

carol newlands I totally agree, the best results are a collaboration of science and nature. Thanks for always watching and commenting carol. I appreciate your point of view.

[@carolnewlands8630]

And I think you are very well informed and wonderful!!

[@mstracitrent]

Great info thank you!

[@Jentri421]

Great info!! Thanks for breaking it down so succinctly. However, I wonder about the silver nanoparticles that are in the silver conductivity gel you use for nuface. Is that safe? Or is the jury still out?

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Jennifer Dietrich the research I found shows that silver nanoparticles at 24 ppm are eliminated through the body’s waste as opposed to building up in the body. I was worried too. If you look through the comments on my silver video, I include the link to the study.

[@Jentri421]

The Organic Esthetician cool! Thanks! I’ll check out the video. Great nuface tutorials, too. They have been super helpful!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Jennifer Dietrich So Happy to help! Thanks for watching!! ❤️

[@lilianatrillo5796]

Thank you for sharing your Knowledge !!! Do you have any recommendations for Sunscreen for toddlers? Thank you !!!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

liliana trillo I don’t have kids so I’m less in the know but I do like Erbaviva. I think when it comes to littles you just want to get the cleanest possible option so look for an organic ingredient list with a zinc or titanium active. Hope that helps 💜

[@lilianatrillo5796]

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes !! very Helpful !! I appreciate it =0) .

[@mlmapot]

Titanium and zinc oxide both dry out my skin and give me cystic acne. So not much of a choice for me.

[@Cracovianka14]

I really like this video. Never liked spray sunscreens!

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Cracovianka14 I’m so glad!

[@maxallen-macdonald8791]

The colorscience powder is not available here except via Amazon. Have you looked at that one and if so, what are your thoughts?

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Max Allen-MacDonald the color science powder spf 50 is zinc and titanium, so it’s okay on that front. If you’re not breaking out from it, there’s Dimethicone in there, then you should be fine.

[@lmullens75]

My problem lately is that when I find a good SPF product, it wants to lift up and follow up all of my moisturizers and things I have put on underneath it. Any tips or tricks to keep that from happening? Maybe exfoliate in the morning instead of at night?

[@lmullens75]

Pill up, Not to follow up LOL sorry

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Lanna Mullens I find if I add oil into the mix I don’t have quite such so much pilling. I too experience this. I’ve come to just layer less products, especially less water based serums, during the day. I go heavy with actives at night and try to pair down my daytime routine - which still ends up being toner, serum, oil, moisturizer and SPF. I wouldn’t suggest exfoliation in the morning especially if you’re expecting to go out in the sun. I also try to be gentle as I apply the spf, not a lot of rubbing that could cause products to lift. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do not have this problem with oil based SPFs like the Kari Gran and Honua Malu.

[@m.santos877]

Sometimes I really need a good, mineral-based spf 50. Can you suggest one?

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

M. Santos so spf 50 is only 1% more effective than spf 30. So when it comes to spf ratings and mineral blocks, 30 really is as high as it goes. More on that here 👉🏻 www.theorganicesthetician.com/blog/2016/8/6/oq96jk9xblxjhgjxxxtrg7q93nu1ts

[@m.santos877]

Thank you! Good to know.

[@ilum4319]

Powder sunscreens like powdered zinc ?

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Irene Lum do you mind re-asking your question? I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re asking.

[@erinperez4429]

What about Elta md?

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Erin Perez Nope, not clean. Octinoxate, butylene glycol, dimethicone, Polyisobutene and PEGs. A whole lot of petroleum derivatives.

[@erinperez4429]

The Organic Esthetician thank you. I found the label on the box and almost fell off my chair. The funniest thing about this is my kids hate and I mean hate sun screen, they knew it was bad. Never underestimate the natural instinct of anyone especially a 👶

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Erin Perez that’s funny and SO true! Sorry it wasn’t what you thought.

[@erinperez4429]

The Organic Esthetician don't be sorry I'm so excited I found you. Knowledge is power. I stopped using sun screen about 6 months ago but now I know what to use and why I don't use it. I just knew it was bad. Your channel is going to change lives. I will tell everyone about you. U r amazing and beautiful. ❤️🚒

[@TheOrganicEsthetician]

Erin Perez oh my gawd you are too sweet! Thank you for sharing the channel and for your enthusiasm! I truly appreciate it! 😘🤗
