@@ΣαντραΧαρατση Same, not a year though, just a few months. I feel like all the people that say it works are just lactose intolerant without realising it.
You guys are honestly my favourite beauty channel because your goal is beauty in health and wellness, in a very informed and easy to understand manner.
To those saying almond milk doesn't suit them: there are TONS of options! ❤ Cashew (so yummy and creamy), oats (my toddler's favorite, the unsweetened still tastes sweet!), hemp, peas, hazelnut, rice, coconut, ETC.
Pri TEE cut it cold turkey. The first 2 weeks are the hardest but after that your body will no longer crave it. Everytime you crave junk food tell yourself “get the food I’m craving for an hour or have clear skin for a long time 😍”
Try honey or naturally sweet fruits like apples, bananas, mangoes, melons etc to wean yourself out of sugar dependence. It works for me. I now despise refined sugar. My body feels awful if I have refined sugar now.
Heart Wise Lady I agree with this. I eat way less unhealthy food when I just make a smoothie instead which is more natural sugars in comparison to going to a drive thru! The more of this sweet stuff you eat the less you want the bad stuff.
I’m also going to try cut it. I really feel like lactose irritates my skin. Feels like im wasting my skincare by ruining its effects while eating all that junk. My family is going away for 1,5 weeks in 2 days so i feel like its the perfect opportunity to make a proper switch 😅

Yessss I suffered with acne super badly and my diet had a lot to do with it but I feel like my acne also had to do A LOT with the fact that I stressed about it and stress for sure made it ten times worse. As soon as I started to chill my acne calmed down.
I paused this video to get a paper and pen to take notes! I've known that dairy causes my acne but recently found out I don't have oily skin, I have dehydrated skin which causes my inflammation/redness, and oil production! So! I've been also looking to figure out how to combat that with my diet. I appreciate that you break down each idea scientifically, instead of just telling us "dairy causes acne" aka just taking a lactaid pill isn't going to help ya face. Thanks for this great video! 👍🏼
This isn’t drugstore but you might be interested in giving curology a try. It’s different than most products bc they send you a personalized formula. You can use my link to get your first bottle for free share.curology.com/x/vI5GCm and see if the first formula works for you!
i read alot of people that used stridex. it’s basically an exfoliating pads loaded with 2% salicylic acid which is a superb ingredient for fighting acne. plus it’s very cheap. but i haven’t got the chance to try it out myself yet😆
Dairy free is totally changing my life. I'm not consuming dairy for like 2 years straight and my skin was never been cleaner than before. I still drink dairy though, but like once or two times per month. Back in high school, i used to drink milk every morning and my face is full of acne everyday.
I always eat super healthy (w/o dairy)...except for sugar. Sorry if this is annoying, but I need some motivation! One like = 1day w/o sugar 💕 3 mo update if anyone checks: I’ve basically had no added sugar excepts for a few sips of tea and a bit of sweets here and there :)
Thank you, i hate when people say chocolate and fat makes you have pimples... when its sugar and milk in chocolate bars. i make oatmeal with oat milk lol, is thicc af. And Chia seed lemonade is the best, one tablespoon of chia sheed per liter of lemonade, is the original bubble drink, and good for you.
I went *DAIRY (lol my bad) free 3 weeks ago and it is AMAZING! I started to see results in a week. My skin is still healing and I still have breakouts but even my family has noticed a difference. You can take flaxseed oil supplements instead of adding it to your food. It is low in cholesterol in comparison to fish oil supplements AND has more Omega Fatty Acids!!!
This is great information! I've also discovered that in addition to sugar and dairy, wheat and gluten products cause inflammation. I've cut it out of my diet along with dairy, and I've noticed a big difference in my skin. Less breakouts and less bloating. Sugar is my problem child, but I try to minimize it when I can.
Weird that some dermatologists don't even care to bother telling their patients to cut down on those things and to take a look on one's diet. Thank you so much for the video, I have learned so much and I will try to implement those changes into my life.
This is such a great video! It took me years to figure out what affected my skin so severely; and it’s sugar. Now I try to only eat natural sugars like in fruits, and my skin has cleared up so much!
I seriously don't know what I'd do without this channel Haha not only is it saving my skin but improving my health as well !! Love you guys !! Thanks for being so informative and helping me love my skin again !! Haha ❤
My skin was clear when I've been lay-low from soda and sweets before. But recently I noticed that my acne got triggered again when Im into soda this past few weeks.😿 very informative vids. I gained knowledge☺️ thankyou!
That's right I've tried many medications and went to 3 different doctors/dermatologist but my acne is still back. I've been in a dairy free diet for 3 weeks now. I can see the improvement in my skin. Less pimple and my skin became dry too. I was so oily back then. I'm going to try change my lifestyle slowly but sure.
It's been 12 days since I cut sugar and dairy, and I reduced my intake of refined carbs, and yeah I see huge difference, because before I started this diet, I used to wake up every day with new pimples on my face, the longest I've gone without waking up without new pimples was 3 days(I have been struggling with acne for 7 years) but now it's been 10 days and there are no new pimples, and the acne on my face is already healing and fading away, same with the acne on my shoulders and chest, I still have marks though, however I won't lie, ever since I stopped sugar consumption I feel like sh*t, I can't stop craving sugary stuff and sweet deserts, and I keep looking at recipes of cake,donut...and all that crap, the only thing keeping from actual giving in is my progress with my skin, I've never in my 7 year struggle with acne had this much improvement in a matter of few days, and I don't want to ruin everything
I absolutely love this video. I have cystic acne and I am on the verge of accutane and I have been so confused about whether I want to do it or not...thinking months about this. It's a big personal decision. I've cut out sugar and dairy which is soooo hard for me because I havent found a milk replacement that I like. I want to try the oat milk after watching this! Thanks so much for all of this info! I'd love more gut health/acne videos like this!
Oh man, I can't imagine the pain you're going through right now! It's definitely a difficult process but one we both know will help in the long run. Oat milk is pretty great so we hope it's something that suits your palate! Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey! ❤️️❤️️
Woah.... this actually confirmed with what my dermatologist recommended for me to do when it comes to milk. I had hormonal acne and aside from giving me medication for my acne and topical ointments, she also told me to avoid milk due to the hormones that it contains. I’m currently drinking only almond milk and my skin has never looked better. Also, another thing I like to add, having too much androgens can also make you have irregular periods. Too much androgens causes your body not to ovulate, thus making your menstrual cycle more irregular and heavier on the flow. Thanks for always informing everyone on how to take care of ourselves inside out 😁😁😁
I was just going to try start eat vegan for a month or so because I think milk and sugar and stuff is whats causing my acne, so thanks for giving some more in debth information!
I'm lactose intolerant and when I grew up with my grandparents, my grandmother was big on not eating sugars because diabetes was common for the females on her side. I decided to drink Almond milk to allow my stomach a break; I don't really eat too much sugar even in cereals. When I went back to milk because I ran out of almond milk and my mom couldn't remember what kind I drank (vanilla), I noticed I had an increase in acne flare-ups. When I went back to almond milk, I noticed my acne flare-ups went down.
At 28 and all through my 20's actually I was infested with big nasty whiteheads all over my forehead, By the time they went away 10 more would sprout up to replace them. Tried all the face washes, quit coffee, changing pillow cases etc.. and nothing worked. So decided to quit all dairy and protein shakes/bars this year and over a month later my face has 100% cleared up and not a new zit in weeks which is miraculous for me. Just faded tiny spots that are going away from where the old ones were. Without a doubt the dairy was my sole contributing factor.
i was hopped on soda for the last month and my skin freaked out, i knew it was not helping but sugar is so addictive. i’ve been avoiding it for a couple of weeks since then and my skin calmed down instantaneously. hopefully will let go of sugar and milk before this year ends. thanks for all the info you keep providing.
The struggle is real! Sounds like you're making a great effort to better your lifestyle though! But instead of cutting sugar off immediately, it's more realistic to take baby steps (don't forget that you're not punishing yourself so you're def allowed cheat days). Also, nowadays we have alternative sweeteners like coconut sugar, honey, and the like, so find out what works for you! Wish you all the best! 😉😉
Beauty Within yes, i’ve come to realize that depriving it all together does more harm. so i’m letting go little by little. honestly discovering your channel has been a miracle. not all the things work, but most of your tips are helping me so much. on top of that you don’t push to buy and try everything which is a plus because everyone has a agenda in this new world of consumerism
omg I sooooo loved this video. I have pcos and this goes hand in hand and I had no idea this played a role in my acne breakouts. I learn so much on this channel.
Hi, my best friend is also dry but acne prone. She actually change her skincare routine and focused with hydrating the skin. She used to focused only with acne, so her products mostly isn't hydrating her skin enough and her acne still persist. She rarely get acne now because her skin is much more hydrated. She told me her conclusion that dry skin is basically dehydrated skin and that could also led to acne, so hydration is a key. I hope this helps you.
y thank you for your reply. I have recently changed my skin routine and have definitely seen an improvement. Unfortunately for me a lot of my acne is hormonal so a good routine won't stop more from coming :(
@@leahstokes1168 I'm now in my 20s and my problem is also hormonal acne. I tried dairy free for almost 2 years straight and my skin is so much better now. I'm struggling with not eating sugar thought, but dairy free is life changing. You should try it. I rarely get acne now. I still get acne on my period, but not as bad as when I still drink dairy.
Thank you soooo much. I literally adjusted my entire grocery list based on this video lol. Y'all are amazing. May Allah (The God) help you with the right path InshAllah (Godwilling). Ameen I am trying this new homemade skincare routine. If I get more than 500 likes, that means people are interested, I will share it with you. My skin looked really bad last week and this week I am actually shocked how fast and well it recovered. And the most important ingredient is Matcha powder. I hope y'all have a great weekend. Peace and love to you all.
Honestly you two are life savers! All your skin care videos are not only recommendations but have the education side to everything. AMAZING videos please don't stop.
Aww thank you so much! Means a lot that you're enjoying the factual side of skincare, because it's so important to understand how it all works together with the products that we use! We appreciate you, thank again for commenting! 😊- fel
I stopped eating sugar about 15 years ago and in general I'm not a sweet tooth (no cakes, chocolate, biscuits.. not even honey or dried fruit). I've always hated milk and recently I stopped eating dairy at all to help clear my skin. I eat all the healthy foods you recommended in the video (like spinach, kale, flaxseeds, blueberries, salmon, matcha), I take the anti-inflammatory supplements (spirulina, turmeric, sulfur, probiotics), have a strict skincare routine (together with tretinoin), change my pillowcase/towel and drink 2 lt of water everyday. I even stopped drinking coffee 'cause it triggered my skin to produce more oil. I stopped using liquid foundations and chose instead mineral makeup. My skin got better but I still get acne 😞 I guess it's just a battle you can't win.
Oh no! We're sorry you're not getting the results you wanting for your skin! We know how difficult it is to suffer from acne and what a struggle it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We know you're trying very hard and we appreciate you for making the effort. But remember that your body is constantly changing as you grow older, and at the end of the day, your acne doesn't define you for who you are and the people in your life remember you for you and your personality, skills, talents, and knowledge. And chances are, we tend to focus more on our imperfections than the people around us which then causes us to stress more than we should. 😭😭 Take it easy, hun! Wishing you all the best! 😘😘
Guys such a good video!!! It actually promotes most efficient easy and natural way to get rid of acne! I changed my died few months ago I literally cannot belive how much of a diffrent person I am outside and out:) Glowy skin with no acne, great energy levels, healthy hair and my skin actually lookes 'taned orange' because of the amount of carrots and sweet potatoes I consume:P I eat this EVERY single day: MORNING: bagels with one avocado tomatoes and poached eggs or oatmeal with soy milk, banana, few spoons of nut butter and loads of dark cacao powder, LUNCH: 3 boiled carrots, one/two boiled sweet potato, steamed bell peppers, half a head of steamed broccoli all of it on top of groats. EVENING: pasta with rich tomato sauce with loads of spinach. During the day: I try to drink at least 4 cups of green tea and sometimes I snack on carrots dipped in hummus I GAVE UP DRINKING AND I DON T SMOKE, also I take fish and flax-seed oil supplement every morning. My skin changed COMPLETELY! I know it may seem weird but eating the same nutritious dishes every single day saved me loads of time thinking of what I'm going to eat and what to buy in a grocery store! For people that feel depressed and know that they have poor diet listen to this I was on a medication called Fluoxetine because of my low mood, after I started eating the way I mentioned above I stopped taking the pills even tho I knew it may be risky without doctors approval but I have never felt happier and I know I'm not coming back to be taking them. It's crazy how the healthy foods can change your life in every way!
I'm trying to drink and eat less dairy products & sugar lately because my friend suggest it. I think it really help minimizing my acne, but i don't know why. But after watching this video now i finally understand why. Thank you for uploading this video!!
If u want another way to find foods but stay at your local grocery stores shopwell has an app that u put in your dietary needs and then u scan your food and it tells you if it works with your diet restrictions
@@estherkoffi582 nope it's all added sugar pick up literally any bag of dried fruit. The reason that dried fruit can last longer than normal fruit is the amount of sugar and preservatives in it, fructose corn syrup or sugar is in the ingredient list. It the same concept with dried fish or meat.
@@faethy The reason dried fruit is high in sugar is that when you dry the fruit and take away the liquid component (i.e. the water), it concentrates the amount of sugar in the fruit. Perhaps there are some food brands out there that will add in additional sugar to dried fruit, which can then increase the sugar content even more.
I stopped dairy and sugar and my skin is clear(also i lost weight)! It only breaks out a little when its the time of the month. I have been eating ALOT of red bell peppers, spinach, almonds, and carrots (daily as snacks). Also i noticed that products that include petroleum and mineral oils clog my pores so i try to stay away!
Meat and dairy caused me acne for years and I had no idea. I still get some when I am very distressed but it is nothing compared to what I had to deal with when I consumed dairy and meat
I did an elimination diet. And discovered that I was allergic to dairy. I got red bumps that developed into acne when I added dairy into the elimination round and it was horrible. I've been dairy free for almost a year now and my face has never been more normal.
Oh my gosh, I just found your channel and I feel so blessed; not only do you offer great and practical advice, but your genuine personalities paired with how informative you both are truly amaze me. Thank you! :)
Eliminating sugar is key. I speak from experience. I'm 32 years old, been suffering from combination, mostly oily skin since I was 12. I'm talking about cystic, greasy, painful acne. Getting off the sugar and high glycemic foods and drinks is the hardest part. Weaning yourself off is key. Once you get off of it, you might see some purging. This is normal. Once you cross that hurdle, you will see and notice the difference. Faster results? Don't take ANY form of sugar, not even Manuka honey or pure maple syrup, as 'healthy' as they may be. Stay away from grains as well, including popcorn. Don't know why these ladies are recommending these as substituted. Everything else they say is correct though. Stay away from all forms of dairy! Soy as well, wheat too. Its tough to find alternatives but once your body is rid of all of these, you will see and feel the difference. 👍
@@memoonasaeed4408 I replaced yogurt with healthier probiotic alternatives, like sauerkraut and kimchi. Wheat is easily replaceable with a ton of alternatives like cassava flour, oat flour, coconut flour, almost flour and so forth.
I haven't had a singleeeee break out since I cut out dairy and it's been 3 months. Except this one time I ate too much spicy food. I haven't looked back at dairy milk since. Tea, coffee, smoothies and punches, cereals etc are just as delicious maybe even more delicious. I can't wait to start eating yogurts and ice cream made from dairy free milk. I am going to cut out sugar now! I am thinking about stevia as a sweetener because I heard it has a zero gylcemic index which means zero glucose and 1000x sweeter than sugar. Thank you so much for this video
Coffee is very healthy given you consume it in modest amounts, i had to cut back on it as i drank godlike amounts of it, talking up to 30+ pretty big cups a day lol
Amazing video! I learned so much about my body and the way my habits affect me. I had never even heard of oat milk before and it sounds so yummy I can't wait to try it! I also never realized how many great options there were for me to eaattt. Thank you sooo much Rowena and Felicia! You all are the BEST!
First step...cut out milk!! Luckily I don’t eat a lot of sugar, just a treat every once in a blue moon. Can you guys do an updated skin care routine for spring/summer now that it’s starting to get warm again? Love you girls!! Awesome video as always :)
Idk if u remember but I was on the live! So I have a video request, so recently I've been looking into starting a sheet mask collection. I searched for reviews or holy grails but 1.) there's like none of those videos 2.) if there is I don't trust them 3.) they're from years ago I only trust u guys with my skin so plz do this video! And ofc I have to say this, I love u guys sm! U guys r so credible!
I’m a 16 year old girl that’s trying to gain weight by eating more food. I also break out a lot, even when I don’t eat as much. So I’m trying to figure out how to step up my skin care routine. Pimples are so annoying, I wish they didn’t exist 😫
Loved this so much 💕 Definitely believe healthy skin is not only good skincare but also diet. I love dairy but always try to use alternatives as it makes such a noticeable difference for me. Thanks for the great content ⭐️
Gotta make a switch from milk to anything else . breaking out like crazy cause its summer here in India .. But i love love love coffee 💕 Also also Felicia make more videos on your channel please ..
I say a youtuber she a make video on what her dermatologist say what do u want to eat or not, her dermatologist say don't eat avocado 🥑 but I am also not eating that I think it help me to get rid of this acne
I have battled acne for 5 years now. I took even Accutane from a dermatologist and still can't stop the breakouts! Just recently, I discovered that all kinds of milk even fat free products, yogurt, kefir and coffee can make my acne worse. Also about rise cakes, be careful cause in some countries (UK) they are made from skimmed milk
I've been on a plant based diet for the past two months and wasn't doing much, I noticed that when I'm a little bit more flexible my skin actually gets better, you can over stress it. I've been drinking Celery Juice for almost 70 days straight and taking Zinc supplements and finally my skin is taking a turn for the better. It's really hard to be patience but that's a key!
A couple of misinformation here, is not true that "natural" sugars don't spike BG as refined white sugar. Also not true that sucrose (table sugar) spikes blood glucose more than complex carbs (starches), pure refined white sugar has a glycemic index much lower than rice or potatoes, since fructose (50% of sucrose) can't enter the bloodstream direcly.
Thank you so much for this video. I've learned for quite sometime that processed food, especially refined sugar is not the best food for my body. But, lately, I've been a bit loose and pretty much ingesting more refined sugar and simple carbs. As for dairy, I'm going to be stricter on my vegetarian-to-vegan diet. It has done wonder to my face so far! :D
I'm 18 and have been vegan my whole life and still only eat grain, fruits and vegetables(rarely any sweets) + I only drink water and no other drinks YET I've been dealing with continuous breakouts for yrs that never leave 😧
You can get acne even when you're eating healthy. You should watch out on other factors that causes acne. And it'll be best to visit a dermatologist if you haven't yet.
I had the worst acne a few years ago, and as soon as I stopped consuming dairy and other animal products, it improved so much! Now on a bad day it’s 5% of what it used to look like, this was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.
cutting dairy and sugar cleared my SEVERE acne. I went from mount everest face to glass skin.
+ drinking hella water, and proper skincare
whats your skin care routine??
Wowww. I take dis advice.!!
i havent eaten eat sugar nor dairy for a year and my skin still hates me...
@@ΣαντραΧαρατση Same, not a year though, just a few months. I feel like all the people that say it works are just lactose intolerant without realising it.
Unfortunatley there is no scientific proof that water clears the skin, all though it is good for the body’s inside.

it's 2019 we drinkin almond milk ladies. healthier and doesn't give u acne. win win

Eleonoora _ health is something one must invest in, and not cheap out on.
@@greta9068 It's like1.5 dollars here in Sweden
It doesn't have to be oatly. Just get oat milk or soy milk from a local brand in your country
Oat milk is incredibly easy and cheap to make. Theres lots of tutorials on TH-cam

how is the journey so far? still cut sugar and diary? i'm curious! :)
I’m curious, how are your thoughts on skincare fridges?
I gain more knowledge watching these videos, than being in school 🐝
Hahah this is the best comment! 😂 - Fel
I absolutely love this video. I have cystic acne and I am on the verge of accutane and I have been so confused about whether I want to do it or not...thinking months about this. It's a big personal decision. I've cut out sugar and dairy which is soooo hard for me because I havent found a milk replacement that I like. I want to try the oat milk after watching this! Thanks so much for all of this info! I'd love more gut health/acne videos like this!
Oh man, I can't imagine the pain you're going through right now! It's definitely a difficult process but one we both know will help in the long run. Oat milk is pretty great so we hope it's something that suits your palate! Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey! ❤️️❤️️
Woah.... this actually confirmed with what my dermatologist recommended for me to do when it comes to milk. I had hormonal acne and aside from giving me medication for my acne and topical ointments, she also told me to avoid milk due to the hormones that it contains. I’m currently drinking only almond milk and my skin has never looked better. Also, another thing I like to add, having too much androgens can also make you have irregular periods. Too much androgens causes your body not to ovulate, thus making your menstrual cycle more irregular and heavier on the flow. Thanks for always informing everyone on how to take care of ourselves inside out 😁😁😁
I was just going to try start eat vegan for a month or so because I think milk and sugar and stuff is whats causing my acne, so thanks for giving some more in debth information!
I'm lactose intolerant and when I grew up with my grandparents, my grandmother was big on not eating sugars because diabetes was common for the females on her side. I decided to drink Almond milk to allow my stomach a break; I don't really eat too much sugar even in cereals. When I went back to milk because I ran out of almond milk and my mom couldn't remember what kind I drank (vanilla), I noticed I had an increase in acne flare-ups. When I went back to almond milk, I noticed my acne flare-ups went down.
At 28 and all through my 20's actually I was infested with big nasty whiteheads all over my forehead, By the time they went away 10 more would sprout up to replace them. Tried all the face washes, quit coffee, changing pillow cases etc.. and nothing worked. So decided to quit all dairy and protein shakes/bars this year and over a month later my face has 100% cleared up and not a new zit in weeks which is miraculous for me. Just faded tiny spots that are going away from where the old ones were. Without a doubt the dairy was my sole contributing factor.
Awesome man 😊
"anything that's fermented"
me taking notes: okay so beer is good
i was hopped on soda for the last month and my skin freaked out, i knew it was not helping but sugar is so addictive. i’ve been avoiding it for a couple of weeks since then and my skin calmed down instantaneously. hopefully will let go of sugar and milk before this year ends. thanks for all the info you keep providing.
The struggle is real! Sounds like you're making a great effort to better your lifestyle though! But instead of cutting sugar off immediately, it's more realistic to take baby steps (don't forget that you're not punishing yourself so you're def allowed cheat days). Also, nowadays we have alternative sweeteners like coconut sugar, honey, and the like, so find out what works for you! Wish you all the best! 😉😉
Beauty Within yes, i’ve come to realize that depriving it all together does more harm. so i’m letting go little by little. honestly discovering your channel has been a miracle. not all the things work, but most of your tips are helping me so much. on top of that you don’t push to buy and try everything which is a plus because everyone has a agenda in this new world of consumerism
omg I sooooo loved this video. I have pcos and this goes hand in hand and I had no idea this played a role in my acne breakouts. I learn so much on this channel.
Can you talk about dry skin that's also acne prone because I can never find information about what to do with my dry and acne prone skin
GothicHippy I constantly comment for help
@@kiaraloba1 glad I'm not the only one
Hi, my best friend is also dry but acne prone. She actually change her skincare routine and focused with hydrating the skin. She used to focused only with acne, so her products mostly isn't hydrating her skin enough and her acne still persist. She rarely get acne now because her skin is much more hydrated. She told me her conclusion that dry skin is basically dehydrated skin and that could also led to acne, so hydration is a key. I hope this helps you.
y thank you for your reply. I have recently changed my skin routine and have definitely seen an improvement. Unfortunately for me a lot of my acne is hormonal so a good routine won't stop more from coming :(
@@leahstokes1168 I'm now in my 20s and my problem is also hormonal acne. I tried dairy free for almost 2 years straight and my skin is so much better now. I'm struggling with not eating sugar thought, but dairy free is life changing. You should try it. I rarely get acne now. I still get acne on my period, but not as bad as when I still drink dairy.
Thank you soooo much. I literally adjusted my entire grocery list based on this video lol. Y'all are amazing. May Allah (The God) help you with the right path InshAllah (Godwilling). Ameen
I am trying this new homemade skincare routine. If I get more than 500 likes, that means people are interested, I will share it with you. My skin looked really bad last week and this week I am actually shocked how fast and well it recovered. And the most important ingredient is Matcha powder. I hope y'all have a great weekend.
Peace and love to you all.
I tried sugar free and dairy free dietary for 3 months. It is AMAZING !! My acne is significantly reduced.
UGHHHHH DAIRY. This one was a very important topic. Thanks Row and Fel! 😊
LeBeautiful holy shit I swear I remember seeing ur comments on tons of videos like 4 years ago maybe it was Chris smoove videos or something
i really enjoy your videos because they connect what i’m learning in science class and skin care!!
Ok so I never knew about oat milk, and I’m allergic to almonds, so I was always like stuck in my mind BUT WOW IM SO EXCITED
This is seriously my favourite beauty channel!! my skincare routine has improved drastically.Thank you sooo much♥️
Honestly you two are life savers! All your skin care videos are not only recommendations but have the education side to everything. AMAZING videos please don't stop.
Aww thank you so much! Means a lot that you're enjoying the factual side of skincare, because it's so important to understand how it all works together with the products that we use! We appreciate you, thank again for commenting! 😊- fel
I stopped eating sugar about 15 years ago and in general I'm not a sweet tooth (no cakes, chocolate, biscuits.. not even honey or dried fruit). I've always hated milk and recently I stopped eating dairy at all to help clear my skin. I eat all the healthy foods you recommended in the video (like spinach, kale, flaxseeds, blueberries, salmon, matcha), I take the anti-inflammatory supplements (spirulina, turmeric, sulfur, probiotics), have a strict skincare routine (together with tretinoin), change my pillowcase/towel and drink 2 lt of water everyday. I even stopped drinking coffee 'cause it triggered my skin to produce more oil. I stopped using liquid foundations and chose instead mineral makeup. My skin got better but I still get acne 😞 I guess it's just a battle you can't win.
Le _ Roq that’s sad you tried everything regarding the diet😭💔 hope you find something works for you in the future 😩
Oh no! We're sorry you're not getting the results you wanting for your skin! We know how difficult it is to suffer from acne and what a struggle it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We know you're trying very hard and we appreciate you for making the effort. But remember that your body is constantly changing as you grow older, and at the end of the day, your acne doesn't define you for who you are and the people in your life remember you for you and your personality, skills, talents, and knowledge. And chances are, we tend to focus more on our imperfections than the people around us which then causes us to stress more than we should. 😭😭 Take it easy, hun! Wishing you all the best! 😘😘
Beauty Within thank you for your kind reply! You are great, guys :) Keep doing what you do!
I went to check the door over and over again so confused....thenI realized there was a doorbell sound effect in this video!! Lol 🤦🏼♀️ 🤦🏼♀️ 🤦🏼♀️
Guys such a good video!!! It actually promotes most efficient easy and natural way to get rid of acne! I changed my died few months ago I literally cannot belive how much of a diffrent person I am outside and out:) Glowy skin with no acne, great energy levels, healthy hair and my skin actually lookes 'taned orange' because of the amount of carrots and sweet potatoes I consume:P I eat this EVERY single day:
MORNING: bagels with one avocado tomatoes and poached eggs or oatmeal with soy milk, banana, few spoons of nut butter and loads of dark cacao powder,
LUNCH: 3 boiled carrots, one/two boiled sweet potato, steamed bell peppers, half a head of steamed broccoli all of it on top of groats.
EVENING: pasta with rich tomato sauce with loads of spinach.
During the day: I try to drink at least 4 cups of green tea and sometimes I snack on carrots dipped in hummus
I GAVE UP DRINKING AND I DON T SMOKE, also I take fish and flax-seed oil supplement every morning.
My skin changed COMPLETELY! I know it may seem weird but eating the same nutritious dishes every single day saved me loads of time thinking of what I'm going to eat and what to buy in a grocery store! For people that feel depressed and know that they have poor diet listen to this I was on a medication called Fluoxetine because of my low mood, after I started eating the way I mentioned above I stopped taking the pills even tho I knew it may be risky without doctors approval but I have never felt happier and I know I'm not coming back to be taking them. It's crazy how the healthy foods can change your life in every way!
Yaayyy! We're so glad you found what works for you! Keep up the great work! 😍😘
The amount of work you guys serve us. Thank you 😆
Awh! Thank YOU for being soo supportive! The whole BW team loves you!
I'm trying to drink and eat less dairy products & sugar lately because my friend suggest it. I think it really help minimizing my acne, but i don't know why. But after watching this video now i finally understand why. Thank you for uploading this video!!
If u want another way to find foods but stay at your local grocery stores shopwell has an app that u put in your dietary needs and then u scan your food and it tells you if it works with your diet restrictions
Helpful video but I would advise against dried fruit they contain way more sugar than most granola bars 😅
But it’s natural sugar.
too much of something is not good.
@@estherkoffi582 nope it's all added sugar pick up literally any bag of dried fruit. The reason that dried fruit can last longer than normal fruit is the amount of sugar and preservatives in it, fructose corn syrup or sugar is in the ingredient list. It the same concept with dried fish or meat.
@@faethy The reason dried fruit is high in sugar is that when you dry the fruit and take away the liquid component (i.e. the water), it concentrates the amount of sugar in the fruit. Perhaps there are some food brands out there that will add in additional sugar to dried fruit, which can then increase the sugar content even more.
esther koffi sugar is sugar, natural or not it doesn’t matter
I stopped dairy and sugar and my skin is clear(also i lost weight)! It only breaks out a little when its the time of the month. I have been eating ALOT of red bell peppers, spinach, almonds, and carrots (daily as snacks). Also i noticed that products that include petroleum and mineral oils clog my pores so i try to stay away!
Meat and dairy caused me acne for years and I had no idea. I still get some when I am very distressed but it is nothing compared to what I had to deal with when I consumed dairy and meat
Are you sure it’s not ‘processed’ meat that caused you skin issues. Meat is good for you
Hemp milk is the tastiest
I did an elimination diet. And discovered that I was allergic to dairy. I got red bumps that developed into acne when I added dairy into the elimination round and it was horrible. I've been dairy free for almost a year now and my face has never been more normal.
What do you guys think about celery juice? Please do a video about celery
you guys could do a video on creating daily meals (from breakfast to dinner + snacks!) that incorporate these vitamins/superfoods etc!
I feel like this should be tought in high school during health class haha
Oh my gosh, I just found your channel and I feel so blessed; not only do you offer great and practical advice, but your genuine personalities paired with how informative you both are truly amaze me. Thank you! :)
Could you guys do a skincare video for darker skin types? Love your videos btw! ❤
Eliminating sugar is key. I speak from experience. I'm 32 years old, been suffering from combination, mostly oily skin since I was 12. I'm talking about cystic, greasy, painful acne. Getting off the sugar and high glycemic foods and drinks is the hardest part. Weaning yourself off is key. Once you get off of it, you might see some purging. This is normal. Once you cross that hurdle, you will see and notice the difference. Faster results? Don't take ANY form of sugar, not even Manuka honey or pure maple syrup, as 'healthy' as they may be. Stay away from grains as well, including popcorn. Don't know why these ladies are recommending these as substituted. Everything else they say is correct though. Stay away from all forms of dairy! Soy as well, wheat too. Its tough to find alternatives but once your body is rid of all of these, you will see and feel the difference. 👍
Not even yogurt? It's good for gut health, how you replaced wheat ?
@@memoonasaeed4408 I replaced yogurt with healthier probiotic alternatives, like sauerkraut and kimchi. Wheat is easily replaceable with a ton of alternatives like cassava flour, oat flour, coconut flour, almost flour and so forth.
@@suindoe8141 are these all with low glycemic index?
@@memoonasaeed4408 yes with the exception of coconut flour. Coconut flour is fine in small moderation.
I haven't had a singleeeee break out since I cut out dairy and it's been 3 months. Except this one time I ate too much spicy food.
I haven't looked back at dairy milk since. Tea, coffee, smoothies and punches, cereals etc are just as delicious maybe even more delicious. I can't wait to start eating yogurts and ice cream made from dairy free milk.
I am going to cut out sugar now! I am thinking about stevia as a sweetener because I heard it has a zero gylcemic index which means zero glucose and 1000x sweeter than sugar.
Thank you so much for this video
Coffee is very healthy given you consume it in modest amounts, i had to cut back on it as i drank godlike amounts of it, talking up to 30+ pretty big cups a day lol
Amazing video! I learned so much about my body and the way my habits affect me. I had never even heard of oat milk before and it sounds so yummy I can't wait to try it! I also never realized how many great options there were for me to eaattt. Thank you sooo much Rowena and Felicia! You all are the BEST!
This video was so educational and I'll definitely be looking into trying a lot of these products. Thanks!
Really love your videos! Thankyou for all the information you transmit us💙💙💙
I love all the nerdy content! Honestly this has quickly become my favorite beauty channel.
Fasting 16/8 and Omad helped wonders for my acne. Generally my diet is mostly protein and good fats. Only complex carbs
i love how much science goes into these videos omg not just shoving products down our face
I'd love to see some videos about rosacea.. ❤ i love your videos, there is so much work in it.. unbelievable😍
I stopped eating dairy for one week and my skin already produces less oil. Thank you
Very informative! Love your videos!! I have learned so much! ❤️
First step...cut out milk!! Luckily I don’t eat a lot of sugar, just a treat every once in a blue moon. Can you guys do an updated skin care routine for spring/summer now that it’s starting to get warm again? Love you girls!! Awesome video as always :)
We'll definitely do an updated spring/summer skincare routine video in the coming months!
I love you guys so much but CAN YOU PLEASEEE CHANGE YOUR DOOR BELL TONE BETWEEN IDEAS 😭😭 MY DOGS GO CRAZY I CANT WATCH YOU GUYS AT ALL 😂😆
Idk if u remember but I was on the live! So I have a video request, so recently I've been looking into starting a sheet mask collection. I searched for reviews or holy grails but 1.) there's like none of those videos
2.) if there is I don't trust them
3.) they're from years ago
I only trust u guys with my skin so plz do this video! And ofc I have to say this, I love u guys sm! U guys r so credible!
I’m a 16 year old girl that’s trying to gain weight by eating more food. I also break out a lot, even when I don’t eat as much. So I’m trying to figure out how to step up my skin care routine. Pimples are so annoying, I wish they didn’t exist 😫
sameee since i cut dairy and sugar i barely can gain weight
Loved this so much 💕
Definitely believe healthy skin is not only good skincare but also diet. I love dairy but always try to use alternatives as it makes such a noticeable difference for me.
Thanks for the great content ⭐️
Fel there are so many plant based cheeses like chao,daiya and vio life that taste like the real thing.Give it a go.You will love it.
I’m struggling with acne scars/dark spots on my face! 😩 anyone have at home remedies or products they recommend?!?!
Niacinamide
Vitamin c
Alpha arbutin
Vitamin A (retinol)
this was so helpfull, thank you guys soo so much♥️♥️
hi,,,,can you please do vedio about natural deodoront and what aluminum cause
Gotta make a switch from milk to anything else . breaking out like crazy cause its summer here in India .. But i love love love coffee 💕
Also also Felicia make more videos on your channel please ..
I say a youtuber she a make video on what her dermatologist say what do u want to eat or not, her dermatologist say don't eat avocado 🥑 but I am also not eating that I think it help me to get rid of this acne
I have battled acne for 5 years now. I took even Accutane from a dermatologist and still can't stop the breakouts! Just recently, I discovered that all kinds of milk even fat free products, yogurt, kefir and coffee can make my acne worse. Also about rise cakes, be careful cause in some countries (UK) they are made from skimmed milk
You're always so informative, thank you for this!!!
I've been on a plant based diet for the past two months and wasn't doing much, I noticed that when I'm a little bit more flexible my skin actually gets better, you can over stress it. I've been drinking Celery Juice for almost 70 days straight and taking Zinc supplements and finally my skin is taking a turn for the better. It's really hard to be patience but that's a key!
Just have to say you guys are my favorite on TH-cam, I am always watching your videos!
An info graphic of all the foods you should eat would be so helpful!
Random FYI, it is better that you grind your own flex seed than buying it already grounded... Always LOVE your videos 😍 Cheers!
The first video after ages with good content and no ads. I‘m so thankful
Awh! We're so glad you enjoyed this one! 😘😘
Fyi, theres bloopers in the end.
Thank me later 👍🏻
A couple of misinformation here, is not true that "natural" sugars don't spike BG as refined white sugar.
Also not true that sucrose (table sugar) spikes blood glucose more than complex carbs (starches), pure refined white sugar has a glycemic index much lower than rice or potatoes, since fructose (50% of sucrose) can't enter the bloodstream direcly.
My favourite beauty Chanel,your videos helped me getting control of my acne breakouts and scars 😍looking for upcoming videos .
I'm trying to not drink so many sugary beverages so hopefully that will help!
Thank you so much for this video. I've learned for quite sometime that processed food, especially refined sugar is not the best food for my body. But, lately, I've been a bit loose and pretty much ingesting more refined sugar and simple carbs. As for dairy, I'm going to be stricter on my vegetarian-to-vegan diet. It has done wonder to my face so far! :D
I'm 18 and have been vegan my whole life and still only eat grain, fruits and vegetables(rarely any sweets) + I only drink water and no other drinks YET I've been dealing with continuous breakouts for yrs that never leave 😧
You can get acne even when you're eating healthy. You should watch out on other factors that causes acne. And it'll be best to visit a dermatologist if you haven't yet.
Loved this video on internal systems and skin !
I had the worst acne a few years ago, and as soon as I stopped consuming dairy and other animal products, it improved so much! Now on a bad day it’s 5% of what it used to look like, this was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.
this was very helpful! can you guys do videos on snack/recipes ideas!! and/or what I eat in a day :)
Yes! Great topic ideas!
I get monthly hormonal acne so it doesn’t matter either way for me
same but after i stopped drinking milk and sugar the month breakout was less harsh and went away quicker for me which is good
Thanks again and again for the precious professional video🙏
This video is everything I needed! Planning to make the healthy lifestyle changes + have loads of motivation 🥰
