Since motor oil was not on the list, I guess I will keep using it.

The fact that he has gorgeous skin makes this even more convincing.

Was totally NOT expecting number one!!!

[tobiramasenju]

Thank you. Finally someone I can agree with. Best thing I did for my skin is leave it alone. No alcohol or excessive carbs. Wear protective clothes when it is too hot. Now at the age of 57, no wrinkles, no blemishes or anything to worry. I use body butters if necessary only. My motto is, if can't eat it, don't put on your skin. So as a beauty treatment, , I need to go to the kitchen. Honey, milk butter, some herbs, yogurt, fruit peels etc are very helpful. So big corporation never got a penny from me, and that saved my skin. PS I don't use make up either, just lip balm, eye pencil and some basic powder in rare occasions.

Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly is one product I will never stop using. It is my skins lifesaver, without it my face will be super flakey, and dry even with good moisturizers because of the way my skin is and where I live. But everything else I do agree with, especially rubbing alcohol and bar soap.

[kobalt]

I love when we get real Doctors who are not afraid or embarrassed to tackle adult issues, well done Sir and thank you.

As you have made a list of what not to put on the face, I think you already have our attention, please make a list of what to put on the face. And include the link in this video. Thanks 👍

Agree with everything except Petroleum Jelly. I can understand not using it all the time since it can clog the pores and is heavy, but it’s saved me many of times when my skin has reacted harshly. When I discovered I was allergic to Menthol and especially after using Proactiv, my skin was set on fire and it was dry, burnt, and felt miserable, and I couldn’t find any aloe products without alcohol (which enhances the burn and dries me out too) So I used petroleum jelly, and my gosh it calmed my skin down and healed itself much faster. And I definitely disagree saying not to use it anywhere else in the body too. Legit got burned all over my stomach and legs from steaming hot soup that fell into my lap and between the constant towels being dipped into a bucket of ice water every ten seconds by mom, the petroleum jelly in thick layers helped tremendously as well. I think things like that can be used in moderation, just yeah, not the other things mentioned, at least not to the face.

Another thing to never put on your face: a frown.

I was expecting number 1 to be fragrance... I'm... I----

My grandmother used bar soap, The Pink Oil of Olay, she had a very stressful life.7children Died at
82 or a wrinkle on her face.She was my world besides my kids, husband & God. She loved me and taught me so much. I was a nervous mother. But she helped me so much. We laughed a lot. She loved my husband.She validated, never dismissed my nervousness.Thanks to her . She was sick for a couple of weeks and told me I needed to be okay when she passed because she would be rejoin her son and be with Jesus.I promised her but it wasn’t an honest response .I was destroyed I slept in the hospital bed with her for 3 nights. She dies so peacefully just the way she lived!

Here’s what I learned by 38;

-Never! Never strip natural skin moisture from anywhere on your body. Your natural oil is better than any skin moisturizer in the world.

-I don’t use toners, acidic and scented skincare.
-I don’t do masks, scrubs, and anything abrasive.
-I only use oil cleansers and only with light unscented oils. It removes black heads, dead skin and removes makeup, sunscreen while providing the best protection for skin. I don’t double cleanse either, just the oil cleanser.
-Vitamin e rich butters and oils helps with hyperpigmentation, smooth skin, protect against aging. The real treatment for hyperpigmentation and getting smooth skin, is to not irritate and dry it out.

My 15 yr old had really bad, tricky nose acne and nothing gently and quickly removed and kept away his large black heads like oil cleansing. I bought strips, and tried a suction pore tool for a sec and they are just too damaging to skin. This is how I got more into oil cleansing myself. Overall a lot of skincare is more a scam than it is a help. They have you strip your skin, so you can put their products to replace it. Your skin oil isn’t the problem. It’s your no. 1 protection but what you do to your skin can throw it off. I also learned hair products was a big issue for my breakouts. There’s so much you got to look into. I would just go with nothing and add little by little to see what’s the cause of your skins imbalance and you can start subtracting. The best skin is on those who do little to nothing. I even remember using face washes and not bc I needed them but bc it said face wash. Then all of sudden I needed them and had oily t zones. I’m glad that I have normal and a balance of matte and dewiness to my skin now. I don’t need foundation and I have never had that kinda skin since it was combination. I recently tried some new products hair and skin and all of sudden breakouts and hyperpigmentation came back. I just did an overhaul of everything I’m using and now my skin is balanced again. There’s dermatologist that say that hormones and diet are the minority of the causes for the public’s typical skin issues. They claim it’s more so the wrong things ppl are using and even the things that are widely sold from the beauty and skin care industry.

I used to use crème LA MER, and many brand creams. I’m sorry but I don’t agree about Vaseline being bad, it’s a myth . It’s the best thing I used in years. I read a lot about it and spoke to dermatologist. Doesn’t make your skin break out - unless of course you use ridiculous amounts every day - just like any other cream. Seriously I’ve used all the best creams, and I never thought I’d END UP WITH VASELINE!!

[FernandaLima-cfdg]

I feel like i'm addicted to skin care even though my skin still looks like sh*t .

[rahulvinalnarayan]

I’ve gotta be honest..did not expect Semen on this list
