What an insightful & empathetic talk Keenan. Skin care needs more normalization, and I’m proud of you for standing up for it. Skincare is healthcare!

Skin care is more than what’s on the surface the effects can be emotionally brutal to a young teenager. I struggled not to commit suicide over a chronic chronic skin condition. At 66 it’s still a struggle most people can’t comprehend.

I really agree with the sentiment of this video! Skincare is so much more than just a way to look good. It's also an important part of our overall health and well-being. Our skin is our body's largest organ, and it protects us from the elements, helps to regulate our body temperature, and even helps to fight off infection.

I think it's important to find a skincare routine that works for you and your budget. You don't have to spend a fortune on expensive products to have healthy skin. There are plenty of affordable drugstore options that can work just as well.

The most important thing is to be consistent with your skincare routine. Even if you can only do a few basic steps each day, it will make a difference in the long run.

Thanks for making this video! It's a great reminder that skincare is more than just about vanity. It's about taking care of our health and well-being.

Most people know that skin care is a crucial part of healthcare, but they lack the money skincare requires to take care of their skin

Very informative and well thought out talk! As a skin cancer patient not once but twice now, I wish I had had the knowledge at a young age to wear sunscreen and really take care of my skin. There def needs to be more education and awareness!! Well done Keenan.

For a Skincare routine you do not have to buy 300+ products.
You only need : a saop or cleanser, moisturizer creme, sunscreen, good serum (optional).
+ eat well and healthy.

And that’s it!!

These are the important ones to use to take care of your skin.
The rest aren’t important at all!

My grandma has been using olay lotion on her skin since her early 20's and she is now 95 years old and has beautiful skin ❤️

Listening to him makes me feel - Humanity is still alive! Where people still care & bother for others

[suhazareer]

I love the fact that people of ALL genders are advocating for skincare. I think it should be treated like any other organ—with CARE and RESPECT. We all have preferences.. and for me, I prefer a more "natural face&body with high maintenance skincare.. " it deserves all the hype. It’s a LIFE CHANGER and will reverse your age SIGNIFICANTLY (an understatement).
