The WORST Of Beauty TikTok - Expired Makeup Mistakes, Lush's Worst Product & TERRIBLE Skincare Hacks

[@SSM654]

I find it interesting that majority if not almost ALL of these "anti aging" tiktoks all have people who are YOUNG. Like...I wanna hear anti aging skin care from someone in their 50's not a 20 year old!

[@yuzu-tsuyu]

This is by far the funniest/saddest part--all these teenagers and 20-somethings obsessing over 'this gets rid of wrinkles'. Like, sweetie, you didn't have wrinkles to begin with. That's just what your skin looks like when it's hydrated when you're that age. Do they not know anyone over the age of 40? 😅

[@KitschyBitsch]

Yes 💯

[@CordeliaWagner1999]

A LOT of 20 year old already have links around the eyes....

[@SSM654]

@@CordeliaWagner1999 GREAT. I think it goes without saying though a 20 year old with wrinkles compared to a 50 year old with wrinkles is vastly different. I want to hear how the 50 year old is taking care of themselves.

[@DibsSolidor]

Anti aging starts when you are young tho. Like when you are 50 you are already 'aged'. Anti aging just means stopping or slowing getting wrinkles and skin damage.. so starting in your 20s will make you look 'younger' in your 50s

Garlic annihilates bacteria, it's not impossible that spot treating with garlic oil and taking garlic supplements could work as an antibiotic but it's so far from the best option and it's not by any means going to cure it. And eating the garlic clove whole is almost pointless. You actually could cause other problems by messing with your gut bacteria. Not to mention the smell lol. But I have treated an ear infection with diluted garlic oil (when I had no medical coverage 😅) and it works overnight. I used to get the most excruciatingly painful, miserable ear infections and it was worth having a smell ear the next day 😂

Recommending taking that much garlic could also be dangerous for some people. It does work as a blood thinner. If someone is already on a blood thinner or has a bleeding disorder it could cause problems. You can get garlic supplements, but not for the reasons stated in the TikTok.

How many young people have we seen that have gotten botox and filler in their early 20’s now look older than some of us in our 30’s. Skincare routine for preventing aging in the 20’s is fine.

The idea behind the silicon patches is not to stop you from moving your face but to trap moisture and hydrate the skin, which would (temporarily) smooth wrinkles. 😊

[@JamesWelsh]

It’s both!

[@DeadKraken]

It's both. If you read the descriptions on the various sites that sell them, they are meant to keep you skin immobile and the moisture trapped under the patch makes it look like it smooths wrinkles. I know this because one of the reasons I never tried these is that you can't have anything under the patch, otherwise it doesn't stick enough to stop you face from moving, and obviously you can't use it if you have oily skin for the same reason.

Not chewing or crushing the garlic and swallowing it whole won't activate the allicin. Thats why you're supposed to crush garlic 10 mins before you cook with it if you want the health benefits. I mean it still won't help your acne, but you'll get the other health benefits.

Raw garlic and raw white onions are actually very good for bacteria removal in the body but you do in fact have to squash and bust open the garlic clove to get the benefits. And not recommended to do too much because your gut can’t handle an abundance of it. And I have never heard of it helping with acne.

[@dominiquehazzard5925]

it does not remove bacteria, it help the proliferation of the good gut bacteria therefore you hopefully get more good bacteria and less of the ones that feed on refine carb and sugar. I would really incorporate garlic in the diet, like slice it with french beans or crush it with vinaigrette on tomatoes. I am really unsure of swallowing the whole thing as I believe it is the soft part in the inside who does the magic

[@stephgreen3070]

They do not “remove bacteria from the body”. The idea that onion and garlic can “remove “ germs from the air or from the body once consumed came from the miasma theory of illness: that bad smells carried and caused illness. The onion and garlic smelled stronger than the ‘bad miasma’ air, so therefore it must be keeping you from getting sick.We now know that germs, bacteria and fungi cause illness. There is no scientific evidence that consuming onion or garlic will remove bacteria from your body. I don’t know how that would even work. Interestingly, there are compounds in onion, garlic, wine, and cows bile left in a copper vessel for 9 days as prescribed by an ancient medieval book called Bald’s Leechbook, that can have topical antibacterial properties. But it has not been proven to kill bacteria once ingested. It has been shown to work topically against MRSA pretty well, though, which is actually extremely exciting. The thing about bacteria is that they are always evolving and changing to outsmart the antibacterials we use. If onion and garlic could remove bacteria from our bodies, I guarantee you I would never be sick from bacteria, considering how much of both I eat. Unfortunately, I’m sick as we speak and no amount of onion or garlic can help that.

Well in my country people eat raw garlic and onion with salt, especially the green onion and young garlic. They eat them with their meal, not alone. They smell a lot afterwards, but they say it's good for the body 😂

[@orlameehan1123]

No you have to cut the garlic and leave it for 15 minutes so the same chemical that's in antibiotics is released. The same chemical is in amoxycillin antibiotics so yes technically I'm sure it can remove bacteria

Your gut will break the garlic down anyway so wouldnt matter if you squashed it or had it whole

[@claireeyles7560]

The thing with garlic though is it in a couple of studies it did show some benefit to the skin in terms of things like antioxidant benefits, wound healing, treatment of fungal infections, and so on. Now if any of these 'I can't believe it's not botox' 'nature knows best' type skincare influences had bothered to so much as glance at these studies they would see that they were studying the active ingredients in garlic and not just swallowing whole garlic cloves or rubbing raw garlic over people's skin.

PSA: if it is a wet substrate, mascara, cream eyeshadow, etc., and you did not use a clean brush or finger every time, you should ditch it if, it’s been past a year, past the expiration, or it smells or feels funky, aside from mascara which should be no more than 3 months. Dry stuff is a bit more difficult to say, since moisture, and the oils in creams, are usually the problem. Usually that will keep for awhile, as in almost indefinitely, but eventually the texture will go off and it definitely shouldn’t be used around the eyes if you are sensitive. You should also wipe off the surface with a paper towel to remove anything on the surface if it has been awhile.

I worked at a beach for three months last summer, and I used a SPF 50 sunscreen (which has sadly been discontinued) and set and mattified it with a sunscreen powder, because why not, then I would reapply both on my lunch break. I also wore a sunhat (not sure what the UPF was of the hat since I didn't have a choice of hat), but that combo worked so well at preventing sun damage. I think my point is that if I'm using a suncreen powder, I'd only use it over a suncreen that I know has at least 50 SPF anyway and it doesn't hurt to set it with a SPF powder. I'm certainly not going to rely on the powder alone - just a potential little bonus.

[@please_im_a_staaar]

Exactly. If garlic did help with acne then it would have to be applied topically on the skin. It's the same with vitamin C. When you ingest it, it will not have anywhere near as strong of an effect because your kidneys will excrete most of it (you'll pee it out) or your gut will absorb most of the nutrients in the case of garlic, and the actual amount of vit C/garlic nutrients going into your skin from underneath will be very small. When you apply it ON the skin that doesn't have such excretion mechanisms, you'll end up getting higher concentration going into your skin.

[@spookylittlebat]

I think you’re forgetting that the digestive system breaks compounds down into smaller bioavailable forms, that once absorbed into the bloodstream can travel to the skin. The issue isn’t with it just getting rid of compounds digested, it’s that they’re not necessarily going to be used how you hope they will. The body has different priorities. The way I view it is that taking things orally supplies your body with the ingredients and the stuff you apply topically supplies the recipe for what you want to happen with the ingredients. Not that one or the other is better in general, but that they serve different purposes and work together. The body needs vitamin C to make collagen, for example, but there are problems with vitamin C being absorbed topically. That’s not to say none gets in, but it oxidising before it can and the skin’s pH sort of repelling vitamin C can interfere with it. Different forms of vitamin C are being formulated to try and get around this, but it’s debatable how well it gets converted once through the skin barrier. And even then, then what? Vitamin C isn’t the only co-factor involved in collagen production. You still need the other ingredients. Do you intend to apply all of them topically? Does it not make more sense to ensure sufficient oral intake, so you know for sure they’re available to the body to use, then apply something else a bit more reliable topically to send the body the recipe for what it should do with the ingredients, such as a retinoid or an AHA?

This video reminded me that I need to go through my makeup bag, so thank you for that lol! I learned this lesson growing up when my mom would let me borrow her makeup for church and school performances... my mom still has things she would not let me get rid of, but I remember when I first started at around age 13 with trying on that stuff for special occasions. I didn't know that eyeshadow wasn't supposed to burn like crazy when you put it on. I have super sensitive skin so thought it was just the formula. Then I got pinkeye from what I would guess was a brown eyeliner pencil from when my mom was in high school. She has Mary Kay I remember her buying from her friend in 2003.

SMH such a wild claim wonder what she based that on 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂

[@zannadunstrand6289]

@@JamesWelsh I had to fact check myself with a quick Google-search and Im proud to say that I for sure had some knowledge, enough to pick up her not having the knowledge. I looked into atleast a dussin companies that sells those pills here in Sweden (where they can’t put any claims on their bottles/swedish websites) and all I can find is: ”MAY help improve your immunsystem and help against cardiovascular problems” and ”ARE effective against tics”. so.. yeah.. the later seems to be the only evidensbased claim they can make and that some of the companies provide links to studies about. One site had a link to a study about garlic being rich in sulfur compounds - mainly the active substance allicin - that can strengthen the immune system and help with cardiovascular problems. But not even that study could say for sure how much garlic you would need to eat to make a diffrence at all. Non of the companies however make any of the claims she does, not even the ones that list every single vitamin, mineral and sulfur compound makes any parallell between any of them and the skin in any way 😂😂

[@zannadunstrand6289]

I doubble checked this at our pharmacys (and on some of the swedish websites for the companies that sell these) - since it’s illegal to put any claims that isn’t scientifically proven (evidensbased) on the products here I can say this certainly: There is NO evidens for garlic helping against acne or even doing something for your skin at all. They are proven to help against tics and on some of the garlic pill they say ”MAY help improve your immunesystem” since there are some studies saying that - but no one had any super clear evidense to back this up so they just say ”may”. And ofc they mention every vitamines and the sulfur compounds that garlic contains and everything they may be good for. And garlic have absolutley got a LOT of them. For example sulfur is important to create collagene - wich is important for firm and beautiful skin! But in the amount you get in even the ”bigger” garlic pills, that contains about 4 cloves, - they can’t make any claims that it makes any diffrence for the skin! So her single garlic clove will do absolutley nothing (especially applied directly on the skin wich, as we all know, is a barrier ment to keep stuff out not to absorb anything we put on it)
