Omar is a perfect example of a man that doesn't care about skincare like those of us who are obsessed with it do and who isn't interested in what a lot of us "skin care enthusiasts" are and I love his honesty! This is real life! It's so interesting to learn about the things that are important to him that many of us wouldn't ever even think about. We all must be willing to see different perspectives to understand each other and each other's needs better. This is important in all of our relationships. I love how you two showed this so beautifully! 💕
Tbh it’s mainly to due with legitimate “toxic masculinity”. That term is thrown out way too often but this is one of those where it’s just a byproducts of men putting down other men The word men on products is there cuz we think somehow that cop out will work if the other guys see us using girly stuff like lotion lol It took many girlfriends pressuring me to give it a try and looking back they didn’t even know what they were doing lol. Not one used sunscreen
I wholeheartedly agree with him on the twist cap on the Necessaire and Fenty products. It's part of the reason I use them regularly. I apply all my skincare either in the shower or on wet skin and I've never dropped it, unlike with bottle droppers and the like. It's a big plus. You can have the best product but if it's annoying to use I won't use it.
It's so sweet how her boyfriend pays attention to everything she says. My husband would just roll his eyes at me at even the slightest mention of anything skincare, lol.
@@J_Mock92 My boyfriend complains about painful cystic acne but he only washes his skin with soap and scorches it with hot water. He'd rather have torn up lips than wear chapstick, if I want to stop him from sunburning his face I have to chase him down and put spf on him myself. Men...
I recently realized my boyfriend was using bar soap for his whole body and face, so I found a body wash for myself that would be gentle enough for the face and offered to let him use it too. I also offer him some of my sunscreen anytime we go anywhere - sometimes he accepts, sometimes he doesn't, but at least now he's wearing it more than he used to. Now if only I could get him to start using floss..
The outtakes are gold! I need to get my husband on a routine. He’s such a guy in the way he thinks so I need to start thinking like he does to recommend some good products.
The side 👀 whenever Omar was explaining his sordid past. 😂 Also when we got to the sunscreen portion and he named his favorite I was like damn he a $$$$ b 😅
Such a cute video!! My little brother actually asked me for skincare help while I was back at home during the lockdown, so for his birthday I set him up with a basic routine. He’s stuck to it and now his acne has massively cleared up he’s feeling a lot more confident about his skin. It made me so happy, thanks to Labmuffin and Doctorly for giving me the knowledge to be able to help him out 🥰
Omar is like every single dude I know, and many women. Doesn't like the feeling of a film or product on skin. Very hard for some people to get past, some sort of weird sensory thing. You need to find where you can get some of those twisty top containers, and put whatever product you think he might like in there! Problem solved!
There's been a lot of progress with rinse-off products - hoping to get him to try some soon! And yes! That twisty top is like catnip for him, he actually asks for more Fenty when he runs out now 😮
This is literally me with my boyfriend 😂 I’ve tried so many times but he just can’t get himself to do it lol. Although I DID get him to use conditioner because previously he was using 2 in 1 head and shoulders and nothing else and he saw that my conditioner made my hair less tangled so now we use the same conditioner 😅
So many of my family members have horrifying routines, my aunt just uses shampoo runoff from her hair on her face and she uses a exfoliating glove on her face several times a week, my dad just uses 3 in 1 everywhere, it truly gives me chills.
Hilarious! Recently, I was horrified to learn that my 68yr old Dad's nighttime "routine" was to wash his face with Soft Soap liquid hand soap. I immediately sent him a basic cleanser and moisturizer via Amazon that he could repurchase at any drugstore and although he claims he's been using them, it's quite possible they're collecting dust.
It's so interesting to me to hear about everyone's funny deal breakers. Like "The product works well, I just don't like [insert thing unrelated to how effective it is]" lol For me, it's smells. My skin is happy with fragrance, but my nose is _not._ I have to push myself to get through the Neutrogena Hydroboost Water Gel, because I just hate that it smells so strong! Can't wait till it's finished and I can go back to the Gel Cream. Not as light, but it never made me break out and it hasn't got a smell. And Garnier's miscellar waters are the worst! They work fine, but they're just too much for my nose. I feel like smell _shouldn't_ be a deal breaker, especially because my skin isn't very sensitive, but I just hate it!
I agree - some products just smell too wrong for me to handle! I’ve noticed that US drugstore products tend to have stronger fragrance than the ones I’m used to though - I’m starting to see why people from the US can be so anti-fragrance 😬
Smell can be a deal breaker - I had to change the handcream I am using at bedtime. I love the smell od lavender, but my partner gets headaches and sneezes when I put on anything with fragrance... So it was either lavender or him... Tough choice 😀
Totally agree about Hydroboost! I also couldn’t use the Inkey List Multi-Biotic moisturizer, Selfless by Hyram’s Niacinamide and Maracuja Moisturizer or the Haru Haru Black Rice Toner for the same reason. Fragrance (even the natural fragrance of the ingredients) can be a massive dealbreaker for me. The only one I’ve stuck with is Great Barrier Relief.
Michelle’s face of disappointment is too much!! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 the shame, Jk! Lol XD I’m glad ur bf has better skin and routine! Hope u guys stay safe and well ☺️💜
my partner doesn't use something special for the face but lately the "body cleansers" we have are mostly facial ones that didnt make the cut for me and I do see improvement! baby steps
Beauty+Skincare has NO gender! We All need to take care of ourselves! It’s a sample of culture! We All want to look healthy and young! Great video as usual! Stay Healthy, In Love and Happy for Ever both of You!🙏 Greetings from Athens•Greece✌️
Thank you so much for showing his perspective! I feel after we managed to get the perfect routine for ourselves it's hard for us to see someone we love to mess up their skin health on a daily basis. I will definietly show this to my boyfriend :D
11:43 I got the exact same problem with sunscreen that Omar has, so it was great to hear his experience with different sunscreens! Thanks for sharing this video!
I have to agree with Omar about the utility being more important than us skincare nerds often discuss. I’d definitely think twice about repurchasing anything that leaked in my bag.
Omg--Omar's 'routine' is just like my husband's! He complains about his skin issues (dryness, breakouts, premature aging) and I've tried to help him with those, but if it requires more than 2 or 3 products he's not interested. I can't even get the man to wear sunscreen; he's one of those guys that won't wear it unless he plans on "being out in the sun all day."
I do use the Dove bar on my body. I'm allergic to fragrance, and their fragrance free bar is so affordable. Good to know that it's gentle! Enjoyed the video, it was fun watching your interactions together. "Oh, a little bit of blood doesn't really affect much." Ha ha!
Sherry, drunk elephant has a great bar that's not bad like dove. But for affordable and amazing try vanicream. It is AMAZING for sensitive skin. No fragrance.
You both are so adorable! Love this video. Bring Omar back sometime! I'm constantly trying to get my boyfriend to let me do skincare. He is okay with cleansers and things on a pad. It's the serums and masks I have trouble convincing him to use.
The biore essence sunscreen is the only sunscreen my boyfriend wears as well! It’s such a beginner-friendly product for people who don’t have an established skincare routine!
Omg this was adorable to watch. Your side eye game is astounding. 😂 And when he reluctantly admits at the end how much better his skin is. This was so cute, and a great reminder of how everyone is going to have different priorities when it comes to skincare. I got my husband to use the CeraVe hydrating face wash. And when he's going to be out in the sun, he actually uses sunscreen. And when he has a pimple, he'll use the PC 2% BHA liquid. Baby steps!
Omar should do more videos with you. You are very cute and fun together. Omar has a different sight on some things, wich can be helpful when it comes to practicability. Like the backpack safety for sunscreens. My hubby has now a new hobby(haha)- skincare. He never really cared much, but since his hyperpigmentation got worse he wanted me to show him some products. And since our beloved male ones are often very vainly human beings, his bathroom time is now almost double the time as mine😂
LRP is my favourite sunscreen, too. Thanks for the tip on Dove Cream Beauty Bar for the face (9:00). (Soap bars have the advantage of producing much less plastic waste.) Envious on your bf for having such an unproblematic skin :o Good explanations :) Thanks for all your Videos!
I adore the LRP fluid sunscreen, recently been enjoying the Bioderma photodedm max aquafluid too. If you are from Europe a good bar soap alternative for those more acne prone is the Dr. Wolff Dermowas face cleasing bar, several dermatologists have recommended it to me and I've been using it for years now.
I love how pleased he looks when he thinks of popping pimples, the same satisfied look some of us had when we were young and didn't know better than to pop our pimples
This was hilarious to watch ..it felt like a friendly roasting haha - my god his genetics are so good can't believe how goodlooking he is and how resistant his skin must had been to survive the soap & shampoo routine ..was very nice to hear your logic and reasoning to recommend products and he was receptive too - honest you guys make a cute couple 🥰
With my husband, the first step was getting him to use sunscreen when we go out. Since he really doesn't care about antiaging, I told him about skin cancer prevention. And it really worked: he has gotten super diligent about it. I just feel sorry that the drugstore sunscreen he likes gets attached to his beard and looks 'dandruffy', lol. On the arms, we both use a sunscreen spray, which makes it all easier. Now, I'm convincing him to use a simple Cerave facial cleanser at night (to get some niacinamide in there to help with his acne, and remove all the sunscreen)... since he totally ignored the Paula's choice bha toner as well, lol (rookie mistake). But I must say that he's always had a habit of using moisturizer on his face and body after the shower, which I find impressive. All I did was switch the old Nivea can with a Cerave moisturizer and he enjoys it just fine. Baby steps.
Omar might also like the Banana Boat "Light As Air" sunscreen lotion, which I recently discovered (if it's available where you are). It literally feels like NOTHING is on your skin! I love that stuff. It's UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ and water resistant.
Haha, I have to confess that as a guy, all I can handle is tazorac &moisturizer at night and sunscreen during the day. I can’t spend more than 2 minutes on my skincare routine.
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench thanks, I have to wear sunscreen because the Tazorac makes the skin sensitive and I end up with brown patches if I don’t.
Idk why the lesser known Paula's Choice BHA isn't talked about more! The only gripe most people have with the OG holy grail BHA by them is the oily/sticky feeling and the Regular Strength Clear version BHA has none of that! It literally feels like water on your skin! Sinks completely in! I love it and it's my go-to BHA!
Absolutely! I left a similar comment: You gotta try the Paula's Choice CLEAR 2% salicylic acid leave-on in regular strength! it's just watery liquid... it's amazing. It's not as strong as the oily original grey bottle one, but so worth it anyway. It's so much nicer. DON'T get the extra strength version, because that's just the original oily grey bottle version but repackaged. Except they added another preservative... I hate having oily products on my skin. Why does no one talk about the PC regular strength CLEAR BHA in the blue bottle... a version of it has been around for the last 14 years (or at least that's the earliest reviews on the website, it probably existed before that).
Omg just like my BF. How they market a gazillion in one products to men specifically is horrible lol. Made the mistake of trying to do everything at once, now I’m just focusing on him using cleansers with actives and Eucerin face and body Moisturizers with SPF.
Loved this video, Michelle! That Dove beauty bar dried my face like nothing else, though! Could tap water contribute to how tight your skin feels after cleansing?
Definitely! Hard water usually feels harsher - you can try using bottled water instead for a bit to see if it's the reason, then invest in a water filter or follow up with toner or use a water-free cleansing method (like micellar water, which was actually invented for people with bad tap water).
Finally a skin routine I can relate to! Only I use liquid soap, because I hate that tight feeling. Nice to see that resulting routine is pretty minimalist, I should be able to live with that.
Love how Omar looked at you when you were talking. And his honesty about the products. Now my husband has a skincare routine, and he loves shaka from LRP too! More videos with Omar, please! Btw i love Necessaire products, the body serum and the sex gel are a must.
Hello, I recently started using "Garnier pure active charcoal bar", which is also a solid bar "soap" but it's stated on the packaging that it can be used on face as well. The list of ingredients is following: Sodium Palmae Sodium Cocoate, Aqua/Water, Glycerín, Parfum/Fragrance, Perlite, Zinc Pca, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Charcoal Powder, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Salicylic Acid Would you recommend it for the face? Thank you!
My partner had such clear, smooth, beautiful skin when we met 6 years ago, despite having no routine. He'd literally just use a bar of soap under his arms and "down below" when he showered, and would wash his hair like once a month. I tried to teach him some basics to maintain his good skin (cleanse, moisturize, sunscreen when outdoors), but he never really did any of it. Now he's approaching 30 and says that he wants to take better care of his skin, because it isn't looking so great anymore, yet still doesn't listen when I try to teach him things 🙄
i'm a guy who's into skincare (not really by choice, but just because of bad genetics), and i can totally relate to Omar liking that feeling of "dry" tightness on the face. It feels clean, like you've stripped away all the gunk from your face. Of course these days I know better but I used to love that feeling as well when I was younger. I don't want to speak for men in general but I also hate anything that feels sticky, tacky, powdery or slippery on my skin. It's just a really gross sensation. I don't know if women have just been socially conditioned to accept being fine with products feeling like this when they sit on the skin but, for me at least, a product has to feel like nothing within 5 to 10 seconds after applying otherwise I end up hating it. I think this is the reason it's difficult to get men into skincare - most of these products just feel awful/unnatural/gross when you apply them. Add to the fact that men generally view skincare as "unnecessary upkeep". In some ways, it just doesn't make sense in our brains why you have to have 3 or more steps for skincare - like why can't companies just create a single item that you put on and it's essence and serum and retinol and toner and moisturizer and whatever all in one thing. This is the exact reason men love 3-in-1 crap like body soap+shampoo+conditioner in one bottle. Skincare, a lot of times, it's just too much effort for too little (or too slow) an effect. I'm glad there are more skincare products for men these days because every second I have to look at myself in the mirror just to put some liquid or gel or cream on my face is just such a waste of time (of course I know that it really isn't but having to do something like this every day without an instant effect feels like a waste of time in the moment) and these skincare/beauty companies need to realize most men think of skincare as a chore rather than something enjoyable.
Wow I agree with everything Omar said - I hate caps (always end up cracking or losing them, or getting sand in them at the beach), mousse, flip tops (they always break) and sticky residue. You should have him on regularly!
This was great! Interesting stuff about the bar soaps. I see a lot of "artisan" bar soaps and shampoo bar type things. Is stuff like that just as bad or more like the Dove?
In the USA, soap made with fats and lye doesn’t need an ingredients label, but non soap bars do. “Artisan” soap is very nice soap, but it’s still soap. Most shampoo bars are not soap, but check. (I’ve made both.)
Shout out to Omar for convincing me to NOT get the paula's choice BHA lmao. Sensory stuff I don't like is hands down the most common reason I don't keep using products and I know I'll forget to use sunscreen everyday. Surprisingly helpful to get the opinion of someone else who isn't used to skincare!
You gotta try the Paula's Choice CLEAR 2% salicylic acid leave-on in regular strength! it's just watery liquid... it's amazing.

I've always hated that tight dry feeling… would love more info on the whole denatured proteins thing. I will gladly clean my skin with just oil or moisturiser and step out of the shower all slimy, haha 😂. I'm an alien.
Aw what a cute video 🥰 Can’t get over how nice Omar’s skin is from just using soap! Here I am with like 10 products and my skin is still a hot mess. Oh how to be blissfully unbothered. Thanks for another entertaining and knowledgeable video Michelle. ✨
I recently introduced my partner to skin care and he's delighted. Haha. He's using salicylic acid toner for his blackheads and ocassional pimples and a good moisturizing cream, and The Ordinary AHA peel once every two weeks or so. The only thing I can't convince him from is using SPV daily. We are both latin and have light brown skin, so the white cast is a no no for him :(
omg! I love this so much! The most I can get my husband to do skincare wise is wear a hat when he goes out. And sometimes he wears sunscreen. He thinks I'm ott but he also knows how taking care of my skin makes me feel good so he's understanding hahaa!
Im so lucky to be blessed with a man that has a full start-to-finish active rich skincare just because I told him to and because he wants to make me happy. He doesn't apply spf as religiously as me but he still applies it when he can. He uses his retinol and his products and actually berates me when I am too lazy to do my skincare. I cried when I saw that Omar loves the la roche posay spf. Always wanted to try it but darn is it pricey.
i might be one of the few but i do use bar soap on my face, mainly because of the fact that they are better for the environment. i do try to go for gentle or hydrating ones and also do not use a lot of product because if i get them really foamy they might end up stripping my skin
Same. I like the aveeno oat bar and good molecule has a salycic acid face and body bar that I like (although I don't use it every day) By rights bar soap is more drying even when the company works hard trying to minimize the risk of dryness. For regular old cleansing cerave makes a pretty good moisturizing soap bar.
@@katydid5088 I use the good molecules salicylic acid bar soap as well. I got a free sample when I bought stuff from beautylish and I loved it ever since. I was wondering if maybe Michelle meant the bar soaps that are meant for hand washing that some people use on their faces? Idk.
He lived in about 18 different countries growing up - I think it's mostly LA, British and Australian accents mixed together, everyone in his family has a slightly different accent 😂
You should have him try the Skin Aqua UV moisture gel in the pump bottle. Yeah it won't work in his backpack but have him try it on the beard area. First of all it's cooling on the face which feels nice but a lot of women don't ever consider beard hair or even stubble when putting on sunscreen. Women's facial hair just doesn't compare to men's. You have to put way more sunscreen on those areas because the hairs just trap them and prevent you from spreading it. The Skin Aqua one dries very fast and spreads so easily and it's invisible when it dries down even over facial hair.
This is my husband 😂 All in one Shampoo, Body and Face wash and sunscreen only when at the beach. But he's stealing my HA serum and moisturizer every now and then. I'll get him there ... Kudos to Omar for being honest and having enough self confidence to make fun of himself on your channel. Love the chemistry between you two
Brilliant, brilliant video. My husband likes the Biore sunscreen too but I can't stand the smell! I'm still trying to 'encourage' him not to use soap on his face though 🤦♀️
Looool……love this!! Sounds like my hubby’s routine! All my hubby likes is shaving, cream, toner, and moisturizer “any” works he says😬 Thank you….I’m making him watch this!
7:51 - You gotta try the Paula's Choice CLEAR 2% salicylic acid leave-on in regular strength! it's just liquid... it's amazing.

👏👏The SPF choices are just smart! That Nivea one actually has Boots ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the UK and of course the legendary LRP Anthelios fluid (PPD46.6). Both are top notch …
Hi ! I have a question sorry not related to the video but I’ve been using my body moisturiser on my hair cause I can’t find a fragrance free leave in conditioner. It makes my hair soft but I don’t know if it’s actually a good thing or not I hope you can help !
Let's note that twisty tops are possibly an essential skincare ingredient for men 😅 (but good points, I never thought that the ease of application, as well as a different preference of how the skin feels afterwards, might heavily influence men's tendency to use cosmetics positively or negatively) My husband uses a gel moisturizer. Got him used to niacinamide serum, just recently introduced azelaic acid for his rosacea too, which is still sitting unused in the cupboard. I love the Bioré SPF myself. Would want my husband to use it, too. Still, a long fight to go 🙄.
On the topic of solid/soap-like products, I would be really interested in a video ranking these, simply because I really try to be packaging-free in my life. But, with skincare, it's so difficult. I kinda managed to find a body moisturiser, shampoo and conditioner in solid form that I like (from Ethique) and I use a high laurel-oil savon d'Alep for my body. When it comes to facial cleansers and moisturisers, I have not really been able to find one that's gentle enough for me.
I'm from India and I've noticed that a lot of brands sell products with the same names but they tweak the ingredients lists a bit. So the Dove cream beauty bar available in India may not have the same ingredients list as the one in Australia. Could you please tell me the list of surfactants that I should look for and not look for in the one in India to make sure that it's still a good bar soap? Or else could anyone from Australia type out the ingredients of the one available there for me?
5:17 I HATE the dry tight feeling it’s why I started using face lotion cuz I would get that tight feeling after washing my face in the shower and I heard face lotion could help and BOY IT SO DOES OMG
Also Omar is sporting a quarantine haircut by me! Very proud of my soft sculpture skills 🙋🏻♀️

the fragrance free neutrogena one is available! just make sure it says “sensitive skin”
Totally agree about Hydroboost! I also couldn’t use the Inkey List Multi-Biotic moisturizer, Selfless by Hyram’s Niacinamide and Maracuja Moisturizer or the Haru Haru Black Rice Toner for the same reason. Fragrance (even the natural fragrance of the ingredients) can be a massive dealbreaker for me. The only one I’ve stuck with is Great Barrier Relief.
If you want a micellar kinder to the nose then try Simples one. I get the blue bottle, works really well for me.
Michelle’s face of disappointment is too much!! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 the shame, Jk! Lol XD I’m glad ur bf has better skin and routine! Hope u guys stay safe and well ☺️💜
1:54 “… he actually enjoys digging it out.” *look of PhD based disappointment and slight disgust* :D
my partner doesn't use something special for the face but lately the "body cleansers" we have are mostly facial ones that didnt make the cut for me and I do see improvement! baby steps
Hurray! 🙌 Also you can get through the rejected cleansers faster and feel less guilty about waste 😀
- and it felt amazing!
- what do you mean by amazing?
- dry.
🤣🤣
Edit: He's SO EXCITED about the twisty top lol lovely
Loved this! I can’t get my husband to start using better products for his skin. Glad you succeeded!
It took a really long time to switch him over 😩 The lure of the twisty tops helped a lot!
My husband still uses shower gel for his face - 8 years and I haven‘t been able to change that. My aura is suffering!
Aww, much love for Omar not only being open to learning, but willing to be so vulnerable to the internet!
Beauty+Skincare has NO gender!
We All need to take care of ourselves! It’s a sample of culture!
We All want to look healthy and young! Great video as usual!
Stay Healthy, In Love and Happy for Ever both of You!🙏
Greetings from Athens•Greece✌️
Love this! Love to see a knowledgeable woman informing a less informed man. :D
Thank you so much for showing his perspective! I feel after we managed to get the perfect routine for ourselves it's hard for us to see someone we love to mess up their skin health on a daily basis. I will definietly show this to my boyfriend :D
11:43 I got the exact same problem with sunscreen that Omar has, so it was great to hear his experience with different sunscreens! Thanks for sharing this video!
WE need MORE Omar in ur videos 🤣👌👏👏👏
I have to agree with Omar about the utility being more important than us skincare nerds often discuss. I’d definitely think twice about repurchasing anything that leaked in my bag.
This was so fun to watch! More twisty-top products for Omar 💪🏿💪🏿
Omg--Omar's 'routine' is just like my husband's! He complains about his skin issues (dryness, breakouts, premature aging) and I've tried to help him with those, but if it requires more than 2 or 3 products he's not interested. I can't even get the man to wear sunscreen; he's one of those guys that won't wear it unless he plans on "being out in the sun all day."
Omar was so honest love it!!!
I do use the Dove bar on my body. I'm allergic to fragrance, and their fragrance free bar is so affordable. Good to know that it's gentle! Enjoyed the video, it was fun watching your interactions together. "Oh, a little bit of blood doesn't really affect much." Ha ha!
Sherry, drunk elephant has a great bar that's not bad like dove. But for affordable and amazing try vanicream. It is AMAZING for sensitive skin. No fragrance.
You both are so adorable! Love this video. Bring Omar back sometime!
I'm constantly trying to get my boyfriend to let me do skincare.
He is okay with cleansers and things on a pad. It's the serums and masks I have trouble convincing him to use.
The biore essence sunscreen is the only sunscreen my boyfriend wears as well! It’s such a beginner-friendly product for people who don’t have an established skincare routine!
Omg this was adorable to watch. Your side eye game is astounding. 😂 And when he reluctantly admits at the end how much better his skin is. This was so cute, and a great reminder of how everyone is going to have different priorities when it comes to skincare.
I got my husband to use the CeraVe hydrating face wash. And when he's going to be out in the sun, he actually uses sunscreen. And when he has a pimple, he'll use the PC 2% BHA liquid. Baby steps!
Omar should do more videos with you. You are very cute and fun together. Omar has a different sight on some things, wich can be helpful when it comes to practicability. Like the backpack safety for sunscreens.
My hubby has now a new hobby(haha)- skincare. He never really cared much, but since his hyperpigmentation got worse he wanted me to show him some products.
And since our beloved male ones are often very vainly human beings, his bathroom time is now almost double the time as mine😂
LRP is my favourite sunscreen, too.
Thanks for the tip on Dove Cream Beauty Bar for the face (9:00). (Soap bars have the advantage of producing much less plastic waste.)
Envious on your bf for having such an unproblematic skin :o
Good explanations :) Thanks for all your Videos!
I adore the LRP fluid sunscreen, recently been enjoying the Bioderma photodedm max aquafluid too. If you are from Europe a good bar soap alternative for those more acne prone is the Dr. Wolff Dermowas face cleasing bar, several dermatologists have recommended it to me and I've been using it for years now.
I love how pleased he looks when he thinks of popping pimples, the same satisfied look some of us had when we were young and didn't know better than to pop our pimples
This was hilarious to watch ..it felt like a friendly roasting haha - my god his genetics are so good can't believe how goodlooking he is and how resistant his skin must had been to survive the soap & shampoo routine ..was very nice to hear your logic and reasoning to recommend products and he was receptive too - honest you guys make a cute couple 🥰
Fighting people's love for 'squeaky clean' skin and hair is like fighting the use of hard toothbrushes in dentistry.... I hear ya, sister...
You and Omar are both so gorgeous! 😚
With my husband, the first step was getting him to use sunscreen when we go out. Since he really doesn't care about antiaging, I told him about skin cancer prevention. And it really worked: he has gotten super diligent about it. I just feel sorry that the drugstore sunscreen he likes gets attached to his beard and looks 'dandruffy', lol. On the arms, we both use a sunscreen spray, which makes it all easier. Now, I'm convincing him to use a simple Cerave facial cleanser at night (to get some niacinamide in there to help with his acne, and remove all the sunscreen)... since he totally ignored the Paula's choice bha toner as well, lol (rookie mistake). But I must say that he's always had a habit of using moisturizer on his face and body after the shower, which I find impressive. All I did was switch the old Nivea can with a Cerave moisturizer and he enjoys it just fine. Baby steps.
lmao did anyone else catch Omar's expression after Michelle's comment about tricking him into using actives? Priceless
The look of beyrayal 😂🤣😂
Omar might also like the Banana Boat "Light As Air" sunscreen lotion, which I recently discovered (if it's available where you are). It literally feels like NOTHING is on your skin! I love that stuff.
It's UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ and water resistant.
Haha, I have to confess that as a guy, all I can handle is tazorac &moisturizer at night and sunscreen during the day. I can’t spend more than 2 minutes on my skincare routine.
Erm that’s already loads for a guy. Most guys don’t do spf. Well done
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench thanks, I have to wear sunscreen because the Tazorac makes the skin sensitive and I end up with brown patches if I don’t.
Sunscreen during the day is more than most people, male or female! You're doing fantastic 😊
Idk why the lesser known Paula's Choice BHA isn't talked about more! The only gripe most people have with the OG holy grail BHA by them is the oily/sticky feeling and the Regular Strength Clear version BHA has none of that! It literally feels like water on your skin! Sinks completely in! I love it and it's my go-to BHA!
Absolutely! I left a similar comment:
You gotta try the Paula's Choice CLEAR 2% salicylic acid leave-on in regular strength! it's just watery liquid... it's amazing. It's not as strong as the oily original grey bottle one, but so worth it anyway. It's so much nicer. DON'T get the extra strength version, because that's just the original oily grey bottle version but repackaged. Except they added another preservative...
I hate having oily products on my skin. Why does no one talk about the PC regular strength CLEAR BHA in the blue bottle... a version of it has been around for the last 14 years (or at least that's the earliest reviews on the website, it probably existed before that).
Aww both of you look so cute together!! Funny video too!
Omg just like my BF. How they market a gazillion in one products to men specifically is horrible lol. Made the mistake of trying to do everything at once, now I’m just focusing on him using cleansers with actives and Eucerin face and body Moisturizers with SPF.
Omar's absolute GLEE over the good packaging -- I FEEL YOU, DUDE. SAME SAME SAME.
Loved this video, Michelle! That Dove beauty bar dried my face like nothing else, though! Could tap water contribute to how tight your skin feels after cleansing?
Definitely! Hard water usually feels harsher - you can try using bottled water instead for a bit to see if it's the reason, then invest in a water filter or follow up with toner or use a water-free cleansing method (like micellar water, which was actually invented for people with bad tap water).
“…what do you like most about it?-“
“tHE TWISTY TOP!!!”
**derp-smiles in swish click swish click swish click**
Finally a skin routine I can relate to! Only I use liquid soap, because I hate that tight feeling.
Nice to see that resulting routine is pretty minimalist, I should be able to live with that.
Love how Omar looked at you when you were talking. And his honesty about the products. Now my husband has a skincare routine, and he loves shaka from LRP too! More videos with Omar, please! Btw i love Necessaire products, the body serum and the sex gel are a must.
How adorable are these 2! Great video and perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, I recently started using "Garnier pure active charcoal bar", which is also a solid bar "soap" but it's stated on the packaging that it can be used on face as well. The list of ingredients is following: Sodium Palmae Sodium Cocoate, Aqua/Water, Glycerín, Parfum/Fragrance, Perlite, Zinc Pca, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Charcoal Powder, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Salicylic Acid
Would you recommend it for the face? Thank you!
I wouldn't recommend it, it looks like a true soap with high pH (though I could be wrong - try testing the pH).
My partner had such clear, smooth, beautiful skin when we met 6 years ago, despite having no routine. He'd literally just use a bar of soap under his arms and "down below" when he showered, and would wash his hair like once a month. I tried to teach him some basics to maintain his good skin (cleanse, moisturize, sunscreen when outdoors), but he never really did any of it. Now he's approaching 30 and says that he wants to take better care of his skin, because it isn't looking so great anymore, yet still doesn't listen when I try to teach him things 🙄
i'm a guy who's into skincare (not really by choice, but just because of bad genetics), and i can totally relate to Omar liking that feeling of "dry" tightness on the face. It feels clean, like you've stripped away all the gunk from your face. Of course these days I know better but I used to love that feeling as well when I was younger.
I don't want to speak for men in general but I also hate anything that feels sticky, tacky, powdery or slippery on my skin. It's just a really gross sensation. I don't know if women have just been socially conditioned to accept being fine with products feeling like this when they sit on the skin but, for me at least, a product has to feel like nothing within 5 to 10 seconds after applying otherwise I end up hating it.
I think this is the reason it's difficult to get men into skincare - most of these products just feel awful/unnatural/gross when you apply them. Add to the fact that men generally view skincare as "unnecessary upkeep". In some ways, it just doesn't make sense in our brains why you have to have 3 or more steps for skincare - like why can't companies just create a single item that you put on and it's essence and serum and retinol and toner and moisturizer and whatever all in one thing. This is the exact reason men love 3-in-1 crap like body soap+shampoo+conditioner in one bottle. Skincare, a lot of times, it's just too much effort for too little (or too slow) an effect.
I'm glad there are more skincare products for men these days because every second I have to look at myself in the mirror just to put some liquid or gel or cream on my face is just such a waste of time (of course I know that it really isn't but having to do something like this every day without an instant effect feels like a waste of time in the moment) and these skincare/beauty companies need to realize most men think of skincare as a chore rather than something enjoyable.
Wow I agree with everything Omar said - I hate caps (always end up cracking or losing them, or getting sand in them at the beach), mousse, flip tops (they always break) and sticky residue. You should have him on regularly!
Gorgeous Couple 😊
So sweet to see her educating him You can see the love ❤️
4:04 Me each time a skinfluencer says you should Never squeeze a pimple 🤣
A lovely video! Thank you for sharing a guy's perspective about skin care products on your channel!!
This was so interesting to watch! Omar brought such interesting perspectives and you two are so cute.
This was great! Interesting stuff about the bar soaps. I see a lot of "artisan" bar soaps and shampoo bar type things. Is stuff like that just as bad or more like the Dove?
In the USA, soap made with fats and lye doesn’t need an ingredients label, but non soap bars do. “Artisan” soap is very nice soap, but it’s still soap. Most shampoo bars are not soap, but check. (I’ve made both.)
I'd be happy if my sister would use SPF
Omar is adorable!! What a lovely video.
Awe brilliant. You guys are awesome. Loved this x
Shout out to Omar for convincing me to NOT get the paula's choice BHA lmao. Sensory stuff I don't like is hands down the most common reason I don't keep using products and I know I'll forget to use sunscreen everyday. Surprisingly helpful to get the opinion of someone else who isn't used to skincare!
You gotta try the Paula's Choice CLEAR 2% salicylic acid leave-on in regular strength! it's just watery liquid... it's amazing. It's not as strong as the oily original grey bottle one, but so worth it anyway. It's so much nicer.

Ok I need to rewatch because all I remember from watching this was how cute their back and forth was
I've always hated that tight dry feeling… would love more info on the whole denatured proteins thing.
I will gladly clean my skin with just oil or moisturiser and step out of the shower all slimy, haha 😂. I'm an alien.
Aw what a cute video 🥰
Can’t get over how nice Omar’s skin is from just using soap! Here I am with like 10 products and my skin is still a hot mess. Oh how to be blissfully unbothered. Thanks for another entertaining and knowledgeable video Michelle. ✨
I'm super curious, how did you guys meet... very insightful/enlightening skincare video by the way...
I recently introduced my partner to skin care and he's delighted. Haha.
He's using salicylic acid toner for his blackheads and ocassional pimples and a good moisturizing cream, and The Ordinary AHA peel once every two weeks or so.
The only thing I can't convince him from is using SPV daily. We are both latin and have light brown skin, so the white cast is a no no for him :(
Omar's look of horror when he realises he has a weekly routine was gold 😅
omg! I love this so much! The most I can get my husband to do skincare wise is wear a hat when he goes out. And sometimes he wears sunscreen. He thinks I'm ott but he also knows how taking care of my skin makes me feel good so he's understanding hahaa!
Im so lucky to be blessed with a man that has a full start-to-finish active rich skincare just because I told him to and because he wants to make me happy. He doesn't apply spf as religiously as me but he still applies it when he can. He uses his retinol and his products and actually berates me when I am too lazy to do my skincare. I cried when I saw that Omar loves the la roche posay spf. Always wanted to try it but darn is it pricey.
i might be one of the few but i do use bar soap on my face, mainly because of the fact that they are better for the environment. i do try to go for gentle or hydrating ones and also do not use a lot of product because if i get them really foamy they might end up stripping my skin
Same. I like the aveeno oat bar and good molecule has a salycic acid face and body bar that I like (although I don't use it every day) By rights bar soap is more drying even when the company works hard trying to minimize the risk of dryness. For regular old cleansing cerave makes a pretty good moisturizing soap bar.
@@katydid5088 I use the good molecules salicylic acid bar soap as well. I got a free sample when I bought stuff from beautylish and I loved it ever since. I was wondering if maybe
Michelle meant the bar soaps that are meant for hand washing that some people use on their faces? Idk.
that La Roche Possay is amazing! i use it now; and i got for a super good price, as i found it with some discount in Lyon, in France
Jealous! French pharmacy bargains are 🔥
I LOVED THIS! You should do more collaborations with Omar.
What's Omar's Background Michelle? I could not place his accent at all?
Loved this video. You guys are super cute 💕
He lived in about 18 different countries growing up - I think it's mostly LA, British and Australian accents mixed together, everyone in his family has a slightly different accent 😂
@@LabMuffinBeautyScience that makes sense! I was getting hints of the 3 main ones you mentioned.
Congrats on the move in! Omar is really good in front of the camera.
You should have him try the Skin Aqua UV moisture gel in the pump bottle. Yeah it won't work in his backpack but have him try it on the beard area. First of all it's cooling on the face which feels nice but a lot of women don't ever consider beard hair or even stubble when putting on sunscreen. Women's facial hair just doesn't compare to men's. You have to put way more sunscreen on those areas because the hairs just trap them and prevent you from spreading it. The Skin Aqua one dries very fast and spreads so easily and it's invisible when it dries down even over facial hair.
This is my husband 😂
All in one Shampoo, Body and Face wash and sunscreen only when at the beach. But he's stealing my HA serum and moisturizer every now and then. I'll get him there ...
Kudos to Omar for being honest and having enough self confidence to make fun of himself on your channel. Love the chemistry between you two
Aww the way he looks at you so lovingly is so endearing! I can relate to cringy bf skincare lol
Brilliant, brilliant video. My husband likes the Biore sunscreen too but I can't stand the smell! I'm still trying to 'encourage' him not to use soap on his face though 🤦♀️
Looool……love this!! Sounds like my hubby’s routine! All my hubby likes is shaving, cream, toner, and moisturizer “any” works he says😬 Thank you….I’m making him watch this!
lol, the proud, confident 'yep' at 1:54
Lol. Michelle's face though. What a mood.
It’s a bit of a culture shock 😕

👏👏The SPF choices are just smart! That Nivea one actually has Boots ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the UK and of course the legendary LRP Anthelios fluid (PPD46.6). Both are top notch …
Sorta looking forward to your professional opinions on LRP UVMUNE 400, the new filter one! It seems like a game changer to protect from 380nm~400nm!
Hi ! I have a question sorry not related to the video but I’ve been using my body moisturiser on my hair cause I can’t find a fragrance free leave in conditioner. It makes my hair soft but I don’t know if it’s actually a good thing or not I hope you can help !
Dermaveen has a fragrance free shampoo and conditioner. You can find them at chemist warehouse
@@sistatcy thank you I’ll check it out !
I use the Dove cream bar and panicked when you said bar soaps were bad haha. Phew! :D
Let's note that twisty tops are possibly an essential skincare ingredient for men 😅 (but good points, I never thought that the ease of application, as well as a different preference of how the skin feels afterwards, might heavily influence men's tendency to use cosmetics positively or negatively)
My husband uses a gel moisturizer. Got him used to niacinamide serum, just recently introduced azelaic acid for his rosacea too, which is still sitting unused in the cupboard.
I love the Bioré SPF myself. Would want my husband to use it, too. Still, a long fight to go 🙄.
Omar Skin is perfect though
The way he looks at you when you talk science 😍😍😍😍😍😍
On the topic of solid/soap-like products, I would be really interested in a video ranking these, simply because I really try to be packaging-free in my life. But, with skincare, it's so difficult. I kinda managed to find a body moisturiser, shampoo and conditioner in solid form that I like (from Ethique) and I use a high laurel-oil savon d'Alep for my body. When it comes to facial cleansers and moisturisers, I have not really been able to find one that's gentle enough for me.
I'm from India and I've noticed that a lot of brands sell products with the same names but they tweak the ingredients lists a bit. So the Dove cream beauty bar available in India may not have the same ingredients list as the one in Australia. Could you please tell me the list of surfactants that I should look for and not look for in the one in India to make sure that it's still a good bar soap? Or else could anyone from Australia type out the ingredients of the one available there for me?
It has isethionates near the top of the ingredients list :)
5:17 I HATE the dry tight feeling it’s why I started using face lotion cuz I would get that tight feeling after washing my face in the shower and I heard face lotion could help and BOY IT SO DOES OMG
