I am allergic to pineapple, kiwi and strawberry. I was ambushed by a Body Shop salesperson in some London train station once and she applied hand cream on me without first asking while telling me that it was all “natural ingredients” blablabla… it had strawberry in it. I had an instant allergic reaction. Especially when it was the scientific latin name for strawberry on the packaging! I had to Google it to figure out that this was the reason for my allergic reaction. I was so angry!!
I think essential oils should be labeled clearly. No they aren’t “allergen free” because they’re “natural” - they’re some of the most allergenic of the fragrance categories. My skin is very fragrance sensitive and often I’ll find products that don’t disclose.
I am not allergic to food items that I know of. But some humans can't even breath the same air as the oils. So IMO they probably should add "contains nuts". Why not? Be safe.
yeah I feel like anything that has a name that might not be immediately identifiable as a common allergen (like nut oils) should have a common name included
I have a peanut and treenut allergy, when I was diagnosed my doctor gave me a list of the chemical/latin names of nuts so I can check all my cosmetics first! It’s surprising how many products contain almond oil which is usually called Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis
I was dating someone with a peanut/tree nut allergy and it's definitely shocking how many products have some form of tree nut in them. The scariest thing for them was a product they had used daily for years that helped their eczema suddenly changed their formula and added almond oil to it one day and they had a severe reaction. It was terrifying.
@@nirvanatrashedit’s so frustrating when that happens! And it’s so easy to forget to check ingredients again if you’ve been using it for years, because it’s something you ‘trust’!
James fully losing it towards the end just made my day. Nearly choked on my coffee, had a crap day at work (from home) and this cheered me up massively. Appreciate you, James!
From my experience, overusing products/using too many products was actually way worse for my skin than using nothing. I only use "actives" to treat specific concerns. Now, I'm a cleanser, vitamin C, retinol/AHA/BHA (sometimes), and sunscreen/moisturizer kind of girl, because I AM TIRED.
True! I was down this rabbit hole and my skin went from bad to worse. But once I limited my routine to basically 2-3 products, my skin became much much healthier.
Also coming back to comment on the overnight mask trend- we already *have* overnight lotion masks that you apply at night and let absorb then wash in the morning. These people need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel 💀
I have food allergies. I always look up the ingredients in a product one by one to make sure it doesn't contain any gelatin or tree nuts. It can be deadly if I don't.
Cat eye nails are a derivative from magnetic nails, it was a thing in 2010's fist and recently returned with magnetic gels. It is not an exclusive asian trend, it's just another case of new generation rediscovering old trend and giving it a new name.
It's also referring to the technique, not the entirety of magnetic polish. Like the "velvet polish" is when the magnetic beads are spread out in a way that LOOKS like velvet, cat eye is when they're all focused into one line normally towards the center of the nail. Just a weird thing to get upset about when magnetic polish has been popular across the globe for decades, not specific to China. Russian nail techs are actually some of the most innovative and trend setting out of all places and they're almost never acknowledged.
For the allergy issue with beauty products: I don't think companies need to put allergy warnings on their products. However, for common allergies (like peanuts/tree nuts, eggs, shell fish, etc.), I do think that when they list the ingredients, they should include the simplified name of the allergen in parentheses. So for the example in this video, after they listed the "Orbigyna Oleifera Seed Oil" on the producta ingredient list, it should be followed by "(tree nut oil)".
16:41 James i’m dying 😂 she does look so ridiculous i agree. I can’t control myself whenever you or Robert laugh idk what it is, your laughs are very contagious!
When he started the lead in for that dermatologist’s clip I knew exactly who he was talking about, her vid really bothered me & im so glad he set the record straight, that GR product is AMAZING, I hope the Dr didn’t scare folks away from using that product
@@JennyCThreethat really sucks, I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I’ve used it & loved it, it’s not currently in my routine & I haven’t experienced burning or irritation with it but I have used many products that irritated the hell out of my skin for seemingly no reason, which is so frustrating!
As someone who has watched SimplyNailogical, I was shocked that “velvet nails” wasn’t the stupid felt thing Cristine did to try to make fuzzy nails in the Velvet Lip Era
Actually, as a fellow human with tree nut allergies, I do pay attention to ingredient lists on my skincare. Especially since sweet almond oil has become so popular to put in skincare products recently. However, that seed oil would have caught me unawares. Guess I need to start looking up seeds and whether they are a tree nut now…😪 Can people please put common allergen labels on your skincare and makeup products. PLEASE!
I have celiac disease and never thought I would have to check skin care for gluten, until I bought a moisturizer that had barley in it! Now I check literally everything.
😂 My fave part of this video is 6:32 when he re-pronounces “math” with a semi-American accent so we won’t misunderstand as “moth.” I have a British colleague who on conference calls frequently shortens the “aah” sound bc otherwise she gets misunderstood. The most hilarious incident occurred when she discussed a handicap accessibility project that required ramps be built at our facilities. Half the US call participants were giggling like children bc they heard her saying that she’d like more workmen for her “romp” to finish faster 😆
Omg James at the end that could not stop pissing himself, had me cryingg laughing! That reaction was hilarious. Always makes me laugh. Love your vids & knowledge as always James! Ta 💕
So my 12yo has a very basic routine (cleanser, 1 serum, moisturiser and sunscreen), she is just using all the trendy products just to use them 😬 im so glad i saw this, i have a child who is alergic to most nuts, i would never have thought to check these products, especially now he is showing interest in makeup
With regard to tree nut allegy thingy, since a LOTTT of countries do not need any allergen 'warning' in their products, particularly cosmetics, I think it becomes the consumer's responsibility to ensure that the product they are using is devoid of their allergey triggers. One significant way which could help is identifying the INCI names (standardized naming of ingredients in cosmetics; companies that manufacture cosmetics have to follow this naming when listing their ingredients) of the substance one is allergic to and ensuring that it is not present in the product.
I will say, the Watermelon Glow toner did start to burn my sensitive skin after about two weeks (I have sebo-psoriasis) when I used it as directed on the bottle. I think skincare is SO individualistic, you just have to listen to your skin when it's saying no, not this product!
Common allergen disclosures on everything that gets applied to the body (or can reasonably be expected to come in contact with skin) sounds like it should be a regulation. If its a regulation when it comes to food because we all understand that you have to avoid it because you could have a life-threatening allergic reaction, people don't just suddenly stop being allergic simply because you'd like to not be regulated
I have a TON of allergies, including tree nuts, and am always extremely diligent about checking ingredient lists on both foods and hair/skincare/makeup products, but I would not have thought to check on that babassu oil. I didn’t even know that the babassu tree was a thing until this video! I think that brands should be taking all the steps they can to protect their consumers, and I really don’t think it would be that expensive to slap a “Contains Tree Nuts” warning onto the label, especially when you’re using a tree nut that is not commonly known in the part of the world where your main consumer base is located. There’s just no excuse, honestly, especially when an anaphylactic reaction can literally kill someone.
That 16-year-old was mixing so many things you’re not supposed to mix together in the same routine. How can she afford all of these products and spend so much time researching but still not know that she’s not supposed to mix certain actives?
7:15 **always patch test new products on your arm or leg!** she still would have gotten an allergic reaction, but yes, _we should also be warning for common allergens in our skincare products!_
I have had heavy acne since the age of 10. At 10, I had a complex skincare routine prescribed to me by a dermatologist. At 10 I was too stupid to follow along. In the back of my mind, I wish I grew up with having a skincare routine as a popular flick among teens, it would probably help my skin.
I have an allergy to banana. Banana is in *so* many things but it isn't actually listed in many because it's not a "common" allergen. I will always check and double check the ingredients of something, and if I'm not 100% sure I don't use it.
This! I have seen some already existing trends that was done by kbeauty and the west just catching on like they invented a new things. Many people who keep up with kbeauty are already step ahead.
Thank god I found this video today. Had the WORST fucking morning (wrote off my car! 😭) and that laugh + snort at the end cheered me right up! 😄❤️ Thanks for the quality content, James ✌🏼
As someone who had no allergies growing up but has recently developed a tree nut allergy (it can happen!) I'd appreciate it being more clearly marked on beauty products, i wouldnt be able to spot scientific nut names in a list
I love reacting along to your skincare videos, especially on the days where Im sick and the best i can muster is a wipedown with a washcloth and some acne treatment 🤣
I am SO curious to see how the skincare girlys who are anti-aging at 10 look when they’re 30, 50, 70. I couldn’t tell you the last time I washed my face without showering and I’m 25
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this I shower before bed so I don't wash my face in the morning, except for rubbing it with water to wash the sleep and remaining petroleum jelly off Maybe that's gross but I don't feel my face gets dirty at night, I don't see the point in stripping it. I'm only 28 so I can't tell you if it works for long term wrinkles, but my face feels nice and hydrated
I was under the impression that “velvet nails” were a specific way of using the cat eye gels. The example photos she posted were not “velvet” nails as seen on Korean nail media. With velvet you want to gather the shimmer into the center of the nail so it looks like a patch of velvet (duh) from all angles and there is no visible line of gathered shimmer as typically seen done with cat eye gel polish.
i've had to check products before for nuts because i have a nut allergy, but usually it is something pretty obvious! like it will explicitly say almonds, etc. but i have never heard of this ingredient and seeing something that says 'seed oil' would not prompt me to look up whether it has nuts in it. i should probably start keeping a list of ingredients i don't know off the top of my head with me so i can check. i do think it is on people with allergies to check products but i do think that if something does not have a commonly known nut name in the list, it would be difficult to know! i wouldn't have even thought to look up other names for nut ingredients before seeing this. and i do think that all products should be labeled with common allergens, nut allergies can be fatal and i think it makes more sense for companies to be on the safe side with labeling.
I love the Glow Recipe PHA/BHA, it's never hurt my rosacea, if anything it's been really helpful and hydrating. That 16 yr old is nuts, definitely wasting money and using products with the same ingredients.
I was a 90s teen. Clean and Clear or Neutragena was all we used just maybe 3 times a week if we could be bothered 😂 im 41 now, still no wrinkles. These kids are doing too much.
I’m 37 and I don’t use all that skincare. I use 3 products most nights. Face soap, face tonic, Shea butter and some nights a face mask. But I mostly eat for my skin like any orange fruits and veggies and drink water.
If you’re going to say look to asia for upcoming trends you might as well say look to black americans for upcoming trends. Everyone steals their lingo, style, nails, etc. Kpop is especially notorious for this. Maybe culture spreads fast and is constantly re-branded and sees a resurgence. I think it’s a lot of faux morality going on here
Reminds me when yt women “discovered” silk pillowcases and bonnets for hair. I’m yt and have stick straight fine hair and I’ve started using them and love them… but they’re not a NEW thing. They’re not a “hot new trend”.
Yeah the teen with the 16 products I'm like WHY THO?!?!? Like if it's not parody, does she at all understand what any of the products are ACTUALLY for? Cause clearly she doesn't understand the mechanisms they use because she doesn't understand that it's not going to somehow magically make her not age by using it earlier.
I think the trend with teens overusing skincare is something weve all gone through You can become addicted to finding new products and overuse easily The difference is what they see constantly through tiktok or whatever social media they use, is reinforcing these ideas Im just surprised more teens havent gotten dermatitis from overusing and how they can afford all this at 14-16
Likely the most you'll need as a teen is SPF and acne treatment. She has the face of a baby, and it isn't because of the overpriced skincare, it's because her skin still produces a lot of its own collagen and repairs itself more efficiently than, say, my 30 y/o skin.
Magnetic nail polish was invented by British Nails inc. the "Cat eye" and "Velvet nail" style, which was ORIGINALLY called the "halo nail" is also BRITISH. It's not appropriated from Asian beauty or creators. If anyone is appropriating trends, styles, and yes, culture it's her, and you for failing to do a 5 second google on this. Enough with the casual anti-White racism, it's old AF and I'm not even British.
So I have an allergy to cucumber, and because I know it’s in a lot of cooking/soothing products I do now always check but that’s only following having a reaction
How is the 16 year old’s skincare not just rolling off her face with that much? Also, the Caffeine Eye Serum does get crusty around the edges when product leaks around the cap and then dries out. It is my own personal annoyance with that product.
Hi James! I'm from far north of Sweden and it has been the coldest winter in ages (-30c right now but -40c a couple of weeks ago) and MY POOR LIPS ARE FALLING OFF! I'm at my wits end, do you have any tips for how to heal dry and cracking lips?
I 100% thought the nail person said velvet nails not magnetic so for a brief while I was wondering how cat's eyes fit in. I love my cat but I'm sure she would go full murder mittens on me if i tried to touch her eyes
That young girl im suprised she hasn't given herself spots with all that stuff on her face! Teenage pores are a nightmare. I could only use warm water daily and a mild tiny bit of soap/wash every other day then spot cream from chemist only when desperate! Otherwise i would just get clogged up and give myself spots.
That 16 year old is the pure definition of over consumption. She is wasting so much money and she will age just like everyone else. Making a fool of herself
I think maybe nut allergies and other types of allergies should be listed. Even if it's in Teeny tiny writing! I wouldn't want someone to use my product, stop breathing, and my company get sued because there's no allergies list.
I have to give props to the beauty industry for continuing to convince people (children) that it's more important what you put on your face, rather than what you ingest. Wait until these tweens grow up and realize they could have eaten more vegetables and lean protein, and they would have nicer skin for it. They'll be tens of thousands of dollars in debt from skin care waste, and they'll be puffy and saggy from all the Ramen they're forced to eat.
The kid on the video said she was worried about getting wrinkles but mixing the wrong products and using them incorrectly can actually cause premature ageing, not to mention a slew of other issues. She also shouldn't be sharing her routine with everyone if she doesn't actually know what she's doing. Other kids that look up to her for owning all these "skincare status symbols" will try to copy and ruin their beautiful skin as well. They also always have the comments switched off so you can't even attempt to inform them, but when you do try they get all butthurt and gaslight you saying that you're bullying them just because don't like the factual information even when provided in a friendly way. A form of cognitive dissonance. They also seem to not be able to cope with being told no or that something isn't for them. Most of them would be quite spoiled/rich though to be owning this quality and quantity of skincare items so I imagine that's where the majority of that entitlement comes from, never being told no or they can't have that. They can't even cognise or consider why they SHOULDN'T have something. They believe their entitled to everything. Where are the parents? Oh right, they just buy them what they want to shut them up. With that being said though, it is in so many adolescents nature to rebel, even if it hurts them. I was definitely guilty of that 😂 (smoking and drinking etc) 😂
I have a friend who is allergic to chocolate (terrible, I know) and she knows to look for it in every single product she buys, food or not. Obviously in skincare its listed under its scientific name (theobroma) - she has a very limited range of products she can use because they put cocoa butter in everything apparently.
that glow recipe toner seemed really appealing but it doesn’t seem like enough product for 35$ does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?? also I understand how that girls feels about the west rebranding Asian trends. I don’t think there’s any real harm in it but when I see it happen I always kind of roll my eyes
As far as the rhode allergy its the consumers responsibility to check everything especially if you have an alergy. Im allergic to almost anything not just food but skincare so yeah i check everything out and every ingredient.and she's asking for a refund😂😂 girl bye
The face mask is going to dry if you're wearing it overnight. I like to throw the face mask package in the bath I'm running and wear the warm mask while I soak. Then wash off and wear some eyes patches after the bath. It feels really nice but probably not necessary
16 year old using 16 products where at least 8 to 10 of those products contain alot of the same ingredients. She probably has that much glycerin on her face. "Now I'm using my goo goo gone facial serum with my Appalachia water dew glow serum along with my SPF Sunny side up Coo coo for coco puffs mask"
Also I wish I could tag her to let her know that this is going to age her, not only from the amount she is using but from the friction of the application from rubbing it in instead of gentley patting it.
What’s your take on allergy labelling? Feels like it’s in everyone’s best interest to clearly label allergens?!
I am allergic to pineapple, kiwi and strawberry. I was ambushed by a Body Shop salesperson in some London train station once and she applied hand cream on me without first asking while telling me that it was all “natural ingredients” blablabla… it had strawberry in it. I had an instant allergic reaction. Especially when it was the scientific latin name for strawberry on the packaging! I had to Google it to figure out that this was the reason for my allergic reaction. I was so angry!!
That whole “it’s all natural!” argument drives me insane. Cobra venom is also natural. I don’t want it in my face cream… ugh…

If you're horribly allergic to something always triple check everything you put in or on you. It's common sense.

i've had to check products before for nuts because i have a nut allergy, but usually it is something pretty obvious! like it will explicitly say almonds, etc. but i have never heard of this ingredient and seeing something that says 'seed oil' would not prompt me to look up whether it has nuts in it. i should probably start keeping a list of ingredients i don't know off the top of my head with me so i can check. i do think it is on people with allergies to check products but i do think that if something does not have a commonly known nut name in the list, it would be difficult to know! i wouldn't have even thought to look up other names for nut ingredients before seeing this. and i do think that all products should be labeled with common allergens, nut allergies can be fatal and i think it makes more sense for companies to be on the safe side with labeling.
I love the Glow Recipe PHA/BHA, it's never hurt my rosacea, if anything it's been really helpful and hydrating. That 16 yr old is nuts, definitely wasting money and using products with the same ingredients.
I don't use Burt Bees
Because I am highly allergic
TO Anything that has to do with
Bee products!
Honey and some Sexual Products
I was a 90s teen. Clean and Clear or Neutragena was all we used just maybe 3 times a week if we could be bothered 😂 im 41 now, still no wrinkles. These kids are doing too much.
Dying at the way he just lost it at the end😂😂😂
I loved this video! Your laugh cured my stuck at home blues. 😂 thank you James!
I’m 37 and I don’t use all that skincare. I use 3 products most nights. Face soap, face tonic, Shea butter and some nights a face mask. But I mostly eat for my skin like any orange fruits and veggies and drink water.
flax mixture is a good egg substitute in baking, interesting to see it as skincare 😂
I'm crying from laughter. Thank you, James
How does anyone have time to use all of those products. People should always check ingredients
If you’re going to say look to asia for upcoming trends you might as well say look to black americans for upcoming trends. Everyone steals their lingo, style, nails, etc. Kpop is especially notorious for this. Maybe culture spreads fast and is constantly re-branded and sees a resurgence. I think it’s a lot of faux morality going on here
Reminds me when yt women “discovered” silk pillowcases and bonnets for hair.
I’m yt and have stick straight fine hair and I’ve started using them and love them… but they’re not a NEW thing. They’re not a “hot new trend”.
Yeah the teen with the 16 products I'm like WHY THO?!?!? Like if it's not parody, does she at all understand what any of the products are ACTUALLY for? Cause clearly she doesn't understand the mechanisms they use because she doesn't understand that it's not going to somehow magically make her not age by using it earlier.
My partner has sesame oil allergy and I have to check lotions, lip blams, and all other cosmetics I buy
16:41 killed me 😂 that’s something out of a horror movie 😂😂
I think the trend with teens overusing skincare is something weve all gone through
You can become addicted to finding new products and overuse easily
The difference is what they see constantly through tiktok or whatever social media they use, is reinforcing these ideas
Im just surprised more teens havent gotten dermatitis from overusing and how they can afford all this at 14-16
Likely the most you'll need as a teen is SPF and acne treatment. She has the face of a baby, and it isn't because of the overpriced skincare, it's because her skin still produces a lot of its own collagen and repairs itself more efficiently than, say, my 30 y/o skin.
That last one, do you still hear the lambs Clarice lol
Magnetic nail polish was invented by British Nails inc. the "Cat eye" and "Velvet nail" style, which was ORIGINALLY called the "halo nail" is also BRITISH. It's not appropriated from Asian beauty or creators. If anyone is appropriating trends, styles, and yes, culture it's her, and you for failing to do a 5 second google on this. Enough with the casual anti-White racism, it's old AF and I'm not even British.
The over night face mask has done me in 😂😂😂😂
So I have an allergy to cucumber, and because I know it’s in a lot of cooking/soothing products I do now always check but that’s only following having a reaction
How is the 16 year old’s skincare not just rolling off her face with that much? Also, the Caffeine Eye Serum does get crusty around the edges when product leaks around the cap and then dries out. It is my own personal annoyance with that product.
Hi James! I'm from far north of Sweden and it has been the coldest winter in ages (-30c right now but -40c a couple of weeks ago) and MY POOR LIPS ARE FALLING OFF!
I'm at my wits end, do you have any tips for how to heal dry and cracking lips?
Watching him watch the 16yo was actually so funny. He was confused 😂
I 100% thought the nail person said velvet nails not magnetic so for a brief while I was wondering how cat's eyes fit in. I love my cat but I'm sure she would go full murder mittens on me if i tried to touch her eyes
That young girl im suprised she hasn't given herself spots with all that stuff on her face! Teenage pores are a nightmare. I could only use warm water daily and a mild tiny bit of soap/wash every other day then spot cream from chemist only when desperate! Otherwise i would just get clogged up and give myself spots.
Yep I have a mushroom allergy! Do you know how many products have mushrooms in it! I ask my dermatologist and allergist before I use it!
That 16 year old is the pure definition of over consumption. She is wasting so much money and she will age just like everyone else. Making a fool of herself
when he said “mAtH” i CACKLED
I think maybe nut allergies and other types of allergies should be listed. Even if it's in Teeny tiny writing! I wouldn't want someone to use my product, stop breathing, and my company get sued because there's no allergies list.
I have to give props to the beauty industry for continuing to convince people (children) that it's more important what you put on your face, rather than what you ingest.
Wait until these tweens grow up and realize they could have eaten more vegetables and lean protein, and they would have nicer skin for it. They'll be tens of thousands of dollars in debt from skin care waste, and they'll be puffy and saggy from all the Ramen they're forced to eat.
Omg! That teenager is mixing all the ingredients 🥴 makes my skin itches just by looking at her. Somebody stop her! 😔🥺
Where does that 16 year old get the money for all of that? And no one needs all that, but I see other influencers using 6 or 7 serums at a time.
Can you buy that mask from the last clip? And nonchalantly wear it around robert to see what he says? 😂
The kid on the video said she was worried about getting wrinkles but mixing the wrong products and using them incorrectly can actually cause premature ageing, not to mention a slew of other issues.
She also shouldn't be sharing her routine with everyone if she doesn't actually know what she's doing. Other kids that look up to her for owning all these "skincare status symbols" will try to copy and ruin their beautiful skin as well.
They also always have the comments switched off so you can't even attempt to inform them, but when you do try they get all butthurt and gaslight you saying that you're bullying them just because don't like the factual information even when provided in a friendly way.
A form of cognitive dissonance.
They also seem to not be able to cope with being told no or that something isn't for them.
Most of them would be quite spoiled/rich though to be owning this quality and quantity of skincare items so I imagine that's where the majority of that entitlement comes from, never being told no or they can't have that.
They can't even cognise or consider why they SHOULDN'T have something. They believe their entitled to everything.
Where are the parents? Oh right, they just buy them what they want to shut them up.
With that being said though, it is in so many adolescents nature to rebel, even if it hurts them. I was definitely guilty of that 😂 (smoking and drinking etc) 😂
My daughter wanted to try the flaxseed thing on me. Tbh it looked and felt like I had magical baby gravy all over my face 🤢😬
I have a friend who is allergic to chocolate (terrible, I know) and she knows to look for it in every single product she buys, food or not. Obviously in skincare its listed under its scientific name (theobroma) - she has a very limited range of products she can use because they put cocoa butter in everything apparently.
I am allergic to a few ingreditents amd just like how i do with food i always read the label and if i am unsure i will google it
Seems like a safe policy to adopt for my future kids is to teach them social media is for entertainment and listen to none of them about anything.
Cat eyes were also popular in Europe.
The 16 year old's routine seems to be a kind of neurosis. I'm autistic and I've had similar problems- mental addictions/fixations- throughout my life.
flaxseed honestly makes a nice hair gel tho 👀
Do you know perhaps if PHA is safe for people allergic to salicylic acid? I'm struggling to find peeling that doesn't contain it.
that glow recipe toner seemed really appealing but it doesn’t seem like enough product for 35$ does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives??
also I understand how that girls feels about the west rebranding Asian trends. I don’t think there’s any real harm in it but when I see it happen I always kind of roll my eyes
sorry but weve had cat eye nails in the west for literal years...
As far as the rhode allergy its the consumers responsibility to check everything especially if you have an alergy. Im allergic to almost anything not just food but skincare so yeah i check everything out and every ingredient.and she's asking for a refund😂😂 girl bye
All the 16 year old needs is cleansing, toner, moisturiser and sunscreen.
She could go expensive Sephora or go to reasonable Target.
The face mask is going to dry if you're wearing it overnight. I like to throw the face mask package in the bath I'm running and wear the warm mask while I soak. Then wash off and wear some eyes patches after the bath. It feels really nice but probably not necessary
I use two products for skin care. Bar soap and sometimes a moisturizer. My skin? Phenomenal
No really crusty is probably the crust around the opening happened to mine when I used to use it least that’s what I assume she means lol
16 year old using 16 products where at least 8 to 10 of those products contain alot of the same ingredients. She probably has that much glycerin on her face. "Now I'm using my goo goo gone facial serum with my Appalachia water dew glow serum along with my SPF Sunny side up Coo coo for coco puffs mask"
Also I wish I could tag her to let her know that this is going to age her, not only from the amount she is using but from the friction of the application from rubbing it in instead of gentley patting it.
There's no fcking way I could roll over in bed and be face-to-face with my significant other and see that fcking mask 😂😂 nope, just nooo
