Saw on YouTube

CherryHugs — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 12:52:35 GMT

I saw on youtube last week many of the beauty channels saying you do not need skincare!

Saying it is ruining the skin. That you dont need a cleanser or so many products.

I was wondering how do you remove makeup if you dont use a cleanser? Plus my skin would be super dry without skincare.

Yikes lol.

Dove beauty bar soap and Oil of Olay facial wash. Then my Great Grandmother down to Grandmother then Mother's favorite moisturizer Oil of Olay. that is it. At 62 not one crows feet yet. Genetics plays a big part.

@CherryHugs Don't believe everything you see and read. A good, simple skincare routine will serve you well as you age. It's more important than any makeup you'd use to start the day or cleanse at night. Stay with what you're using. They don't call YTubers influencers for nothing.

I have heard you can overdo using many products on your face--not sure what was included in their list--but phooey on them!!! You can overdo drinking too much water too. Am very happy with my regime--my face hasn't peeled off yet!!!

They can certainly say anything they want, but doesn't mean I'm going to listen or agree or change what I'm doing I have no intention of stopping my skin care.

I'm sure I overdo it in some people's opinions, but I'm not stopping. I've often said, I enjoy doing my skincare routines and my results are all the proof I need to know I'm doing something right. Even if some of the ingredients are questionable, if they aren't hurting me, then so what?!

@CherryHugs @I actually agree that the less you "do", the better. I've never been regular about my face care (I have no routine) and I believe that's been the secret to my skin looking as good as it does. Sunscreen is the only thing that I think should be routine, but I don't even do that regularly as I'm almost always indoors. Good genes may also play a big part....but I can personally attest that not doing too much to my face has served me very well.

YouTube has some funny ones for sure. Eye rolling junk.

There is this Indian doctor woman who pops up on my facebook feed talking about how if you use a lot of moisturizer, you skin stops moisturizing itself, that the mechanism shuts down or something. She also has ways to get rid of sun spots and so on and so on. I always get sucked into these click bait videos that go on and on and then try to sell you something. I don't know if any of what she said is true as they all sound so legit. Anyway, I am not getting sucked into those anymore. But I am open to the fact that the skincare and beauty companies care much more about making money than helping us look our best.

Cetaphil moisturizer.

I don't know what my skin would look like without Retin A and Vitamin C @CherryHugs . I've never heard of not doing skin care.

@beckyb1012 I love Olay products- I use the moisturizer, night cream, hand cream and face wash. Olay products are affordable, effective and fancy! 🤗

Can't use Oil of Olay products. My mother did, but I break out every time I've tried. I do use Olay body wash though. My mother looked her age.

I've seen news segments about how young girls are getting caught up in excess skincare and using products that are not designed for their skin and how that is messing up their skin, but nothing about mature women needing to not use skincare. I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't do minimal skincare, but I also don't do what I consider to be a lot.

@CherryHugs - Sorry, but I think that's ridiculous!

I just saw my dermatologist for my annual body check last week. She has always said I don't need a complicated routine.

I use an oil-based cleanser to remove my makeup at night. I sleep with a clean face. In the morning I use a cleanser, alternated with a mild rice polish scrub (Tatcha). I put on my sunscreen and let it dry, then use a primer and my makeup for the day.

@beach-mom I don't have many steps as far as face wash products either. I do have a normal skin type & so I am told by people & my derm. that I have beautiful skin at my age of 68.

I will spend the money on a few Tatcha skincare products. I have the Camilla Oil, like you, I love the Tatcha Rice Wash, & I only exfoliate once a wk. with Tatcha gentle face Polish. Tatcha is worth the cost because you need very little product & it lasts a long time.

Thank you all sooo much for your thoughts and replies. I think too that some youtubes are not good information!

Plus we need to do what is right for our skin.

I dont think my skin would do well without skincare products!! Doesnt make sense to not use skincare!

Not overdoing and using too many tho is good advice.

There is a washcloth that is $20.00 on Amazon that removes makeup without a cleanser. One side gently exfoliates.
