If it tingles it work" my momma learned the hard way I ain't following on her footsteps. If it tingles I rinse it off. Took my mom at least 2 years for it to fully heal. Even then you could still see it.
Always found it to be a scam that skin care brands will say a serum should be avoided around the eye and mouth area then use the same ingredients for eye creams. I lather all my serums on the eyes and mouth and no hyperpigmentation here!
Well, they say that because it hasn’t been tested around the eyes. You might get unwanted irritation around the area. Not necessarily a scam, but protection on their part because they said so on the lab not to use it
I understand your point, but I also wanted to say that sometimes products will say that they're not intended for use around the eye or the mouth because if you use them near your eye or your mouth, there's potential to get something harmful in your eye or your mouth
Some serums aren't recommended for the eye area because the ingredient is prone to causing irritation at that concentration in that sensitive area. And then there are some products that are legitimately harmful to put near the eyes. So yeah, do this at your own risk lol
I have ultra sensitive skin. Whenever I use a new product, it makes my skin red. But after using it a few more times, the irritation stops. I literally used baby moisturizer, and it made my skin red and tingly until it got used to it.
I always test new products on my body before using on my face. Things that are supposed to be soothing have greatly irritated my skin. You can never be too careful imo.
100 percent on the tingling thing! I’ve chemically burned my face several times. I have eczema as well and my skin is pretty sensitive. Aloe Vera is a godsend for me!
Same! I was told told my whole life that tingling was good. I used lotions on my face for 15 years before i realized i was allergic to them and switched to silver and/or hemp oil (depending in what was available) and my acne improved dramatically. 😅
If an eye cream helps means its most likely an ointment. I have had eye allergies all my life but I don't need to apply the prescripted eye cream every day, only when I feel like something is acting up again I go to the pharmacy to buy it. If you are putting on some random eye cream just to relax your eyes every day... let's just say the skin around your eyes is gonna age a lot faster.
i have dermatitis on my eyelid and I’m not fond of using steroid to it bcs it worsened my glaucoma. I start using eye cream for sensitive skin (that doesn’t have retinol or active ingredient) and it works just as good as the steroid one.
What can I use for my dark circles? If she says that you don’t need eye creams, does she mean we can put face creams with retinol in that area? I thought that area was to sensitive
@@Michelle-ss8km very little amount wouldn't hurt, it just shouldn't get in your eyelids. But it won't help with dark circles, in fact nothing would except sleep schedule.
Yes to everything except #1. MOST eye creams are a scam and the use for less bags/brightening is usually where the scam lies. BUT, some face products should be avoided around the eyes, especially because the skin is thinner. Also it can get into your eyes worse case scenario. However, yes, most of my retinols and face creams are good enough for the eye area too
@@-SimonRiley it depends on the serum and its strength. I would say test a little bit under the eye first. Be careful with upper lid application (make sure it dries) before bed. It can get into the eye easily and cause irritation. If you’re not too photosensitive, I’ve found red light therapy with a retinol to be the most effective products on the market for improving eye wrinkles, discoloration, and even helping to drain puffy eyes. But if the skin is sagging or stretched out from time, these home remedies only go so far! But they certainly help. Best of luck ❤
@@emmalayla8373 honestly, I would not apply it around the eye, especially at night. I’ve found that some oils tend to get into people’s eyes because they don’t absorb as easily as lighter creams and serums. Also if the oil is heavy enough, it can put you at risk for acne/milia around your eyes. Think about it this way, if you were to have a bad reaction where on your face would you want it to happen? But most significantly, I wouldn’t want milia developing around the eye area. They’re hard to get rid of. Lastly, it can make it difficult for long lasting makeup application around the eye where we tend to put liner, mascara, and powders.
I have super annoying dark circles and hyperpigmentation under my eyes, as well as some fine lines, so I use an eye cream bc it improves how it looks and feels, but not all eye creams are created equal and I wouldn't say its a necessity unless you're like me and have something specifically that you want to treat
My skin around my eyes gets really dry and If I put regular moisturizer around my eyes it leaks into my eye actualize during the day and burns them so yes Eye cream is a necessity i’ve also seen a huge difference In puffiness
It’s really not a necessity for most people, I don’t have any issue with my moisturiser leaking into my eyes, lol. I apply my serum and moisturiser purposely around my eyes and they’re all good
@@juliecarnevali5534 if it happens to you, then it is a thing that happens to people. I agree and I swear by eye cream. We don’t all have the same kind of skin and that accounts for everyone having different opinions about eye cream
The Ordinary peel you showed works wonders for me. That being said it doesn’t burn my skin personally, it doesn’t even tingle. Doesn’t feel like anything to me unless it gets on my lips (then it tingles a bit, kinda like lemon juice). My skin always looks so smooth after I use it. I think The Ordinary is a great, inexpensive skincare line. Another fave of mine is their Azelaic acid.
@@crunchevo8974 Kind of misleading to use it as a background picture while talking about burning then. 🤔 Also I don’t 100% agree with burning = no go. I think this is true for most products but there are exceptions. For example, I’ve been doing salicylic acid chemical peels myself at home for years, similar to what dermatologists use but at a lower percentage. They’re probably not something I would recommend a beginner to use at home, but yes they burn. They even have to be diluted with baking soda to neutralize, but have done wonders for my skin. That and professional laser treatments literally burn your skin. There are multiple exceptions to this statement.
@@missmelodyjoy it's a rule of thumb not a law. For most every skincare rule there are exceptions. I don't think it's misleading cause i didn't feel mislead but then again I'm educated on what that product is. I'd not do laser treatments or salacylic acid peels at home. Personally I'll stick with my daily 2% BHA Paula's choice liquid lol.
@@crunchevo8974 Yeah, that’s why I made my original comment. If you’re not educated, I do think it’s misleading. Not sure why else she showed that product.
I see what she's trying to say about eye creams, most brands are just selling lies, but they're still important especially if you're using retinol as she mentioned which is drying especially under the eye area
Yeah exactly the eye skin is thinner and much more sensitive so eye creams must meet different regulations at least where I live and they have to be approved by ophthalmologists not just dermatologists
I’m not really sure where you live, but I know the skin around the eye is thinner, but that doesn’t mean it needs a special product. I’ve seen a lot of skincare professionals online talk about why eye cream is a scam. Most of them aren’t any different than the moisturizer. They just sell less of the same product for more. At least, that’s what I understand of America’s general policies.
@@flutenanyidk1806 right some moisturizers would do the job but not all moisturizers can go under your eye, at least for me, most ones I apply there would cause me irritations and my eyes would water. I prefer to apply raw shea butter under my eye at night, and a fragrance free eye cream during the day. I still use moisturizers as well as long as they don't irritate my eyes and are moisturizing enough
Retinol and derivatives should completely be avoided near eyes. There are studies showing it causes permanant atropy of tear glands on eye lids. It's better to seal of eyes with eye cream vasaline while using Vit A derivatives and washing it of in few hours. Most dermat while talking about eyes talk of skin near eyes ignoring eye itself which is much more delicate and needs more care
I realize you may have more education than me, but I'm in my late 40's without a single wrinkle around or near my eyes and I faithfully use an eye cream. I actually think that everyone is individualized in what they need or what works for them.
The issue I have with the eye cream one is that eye creams have been clinically tested so that it is safe so use around your eye. That’s why a regular moisturizer doesn’t claim to be safe around your eyes because it hasn’t been tested, and there could be ingredients that aren’t safe for that area. Plus a good eye cream usually has specific ingredients that are great for the eye area but not really useful for the rest of your face.
The ordinary’s aha/bha peel is not supposed to burn. Maybe slight tingling at first. I haven’t heard anyone claim that yet. It’s an excellent product, but I do think some people leave it on too long. The directions recommend 10 minutes, but I think starting out with 5 is a better option.
The ordinary aha/bha peel is great IF you need it and use it correctly. So many people got chemical burns because of tik tok. You don't need your face to look like it's covered in blood and you DONT leave it on for more than a few minutes and you DEFINITELY don't use it after manually exfoliating or using other products containing retinol, vit c, and several others on your face.
My toner fix is to use a spray bottle, depending on the viscosity of your toner, of course. The thinner ones always go in a spray bottle-I’ve got Bioderma Sensibio in one of those continuous spray misting bottles, then my glycolic acid toner and a Rosewater toner in 4oz glass spray bottles. The “zero touch” method.
I've heard that it's good to pat in your toner (with a cotton pad or something like that... or fingertips I guess). It was a video Kim K posted about the lady who does her facials ... 🤔
@@samwuensch it is. The warmth from your hands helps the product absorb better. As long as your hands are clean you should always gently pat your toner and other products on to bring the up to temperature.
Agree. Generally eye creams are not needed by younger people. But as you get into your older 20s, a preventative eye cream is a good idea. For those at a more advanced age, eye creams can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. For post-menopausal women who don't produce as much sebum, the eye area can get dried out, and eye creams help. Tl; dr: this girl's opinion on eye cream is heavily influenced by her age. She's likely to change her mind as she gets older.
@@raerohan4241 I mean you say "eye cream" with no mention of what makes it so different, as if there's some magical ingredient that only comes in eye creams. You could buy a moisturizer or serum with the same ingredients with similar formulation and thickness and get the same result. And it would probably be cheaper.
@@raerohan4241 you can just apply an extra layer of your normal moisturizer under your eyes, it works as same as eye creams. Your under eyes just need moisture.
This is 100% true! My dermatologist told me the exact same thing. You dont need eye cream, just apply multiple thin layers of your moisturizer until your skin feels hydrated. Feel your skin!! Retinol, true! Apply small amounts for mighty results! Also, there is no "activation" going on when rubbing creams on your hands. Cleanser is the only thing that needs to be applied onto hands to create bubbles! Let it sit for a max of 1 min so cleanser can have time to clean! Great advice!
I feel like the eye cream is way more flexible because for some people like me it’s a must in the skincare routine, like I have a condition where my under eyes are way more dry and sensitive
I started adding eye cream to my morning & night routine because of how dry my inner corners of my eyes can get, which really made applying eye makeup challenging without it looking caked/flaked
but isn't it considered unsafe to put regular lotion or actives on your eyelids because it could get in your eyes? (not that i don't do this re the lotion at least, just thought it was a no-no)
@@alexamurray1800depends what it is. Some moisturisers / serums / creams / whatevers might be a bit harsh for the eye area. Others will be absolutely fine for the eye area, but they won’t be advertised as such - usually for profit reasons or because they didn’t test it so can’t legally confirm. I have sensitive skin anyway so just use a basic moisturiser and I use it around my eyes lmao, I do not have time for expensive stuff if a cheap one works :)
this is so important!! my mom is the kind of people who would do anything a specialist told her just because of their title, it took me so long to convince her she needs to use sunscreen even if she was using the moisturizer + fps her esthetician gave her lol
Could you inform me about that? What is wrong with spf 50+? That is what I use and I am a redhair, so if I get any little sun I get tones of frekles in 30 min. I didn't get that by applying spf50 more or less 4 times a day. Is the problem that a moisturizer + spf is not really an spf but just a moisturizer with little spf added?
@@Agape122 if you’re using a sunscreen that’s spf50, that’s perfect. but if you’re using a moisturizer that has spf in it, it’s likely you’re not getting enough protection. this is because 1. you’d need to apply a big amount to reach that spf50 protection 2. you’re less likely to reapply every 2 hours like it’s recommended 3. many moisturizers with spf are deceiving in the protection they provide and 4. most of them claim to be 30spf or 20spf so that’s even less sunblock. you can use both tho, but please use an actual sunscreen, specially if your skin is so sensitive to the sun. even if the others seem to be working for you, the UV damage could come in the long run. hope this helps!
@@azul4904 awww thanks a lot that answer was such great help! I never ever heard that but yes I always use real spf 50. Ok so mosturizers and makeup with spf don't do the same job as something which is JUST spf, because the spf gets mixed with too many things. Very usefull info! Thanks!
@@azul4904 oh I do apply among enough believe me🙈 I usually have to be carefull to not overdo it and look weird with my face too grassy or too white. Thanks a lot for your advice!
I’m 38 and eye cream feels fabulous 😂 I think when you get older it is helpful. I used it off and on when I was younger. To each their own. But I do hate products being pushed especially when they imply you need it. 😒
As Wayne Goss advises, never depend on make up that has SPF. After cleansing the face, add a moisturiser that has an SPF and then wait ten minutes, for the moisturiser to be absorbed and then add the make up on top of the moisturiser!
As someone who has had skincare products irritate my skin I can confirm I used a product with benzoyl peroxide and it burned a little bit but then a day later my t zone was red, shiny and dry
After working in salons and being a licensed cosmetologist the one thing I won’t do.. is wear false lashes. I have seen so many of my friends have trouble with their lashes over the years. I guess if they were already sparse I would consider it. But I will take the lash curler and mascara any day over false lashes.
@@karinay6413 they are a better option than the strip lashes. But can still cause some lash loss. They always tell you if they are taken care of right this won’t happen. But it usually does. Just not as bad as the strip lashes. It’s honestly depends on the state of your lashes now .. if you have thick or long lashes I wouldn’t do it.
@@karinay6413 people ask me all of the time where I get mine done. I tell them I found an amazing lash curler from tarte and any a lot of mascaras will do the trick
For serums and oils with a medicine dropper, apply the product on your fingertips. People too often touch the applicator to their face which is constantly introducing bacteria back into the bottle. It’ll shorten its shelf life and overall effectiveness.
Giiiiiiiirl ... I thought I was going to have to disagree with you but damn you hit the nail on the head. I hardly ever sell people products they don't need it's a waste of money even though I get commission I don't want to have to feel like I need to con people to get what I want.
eye cream is unnecessary 95% of the time. the only times you’d want it is if it’s targeting an eye-specific concern (i.e. caffeine for dark circles etc) or if it’s a retinol, which would be better than tretinoin for sensitive eyes, they’re unnecessary, but if you like yours then go off, because skincare is self care
I don’t have as sensitive skin as others but I had to learn the hard way if it stings WASH IT OFF my skin was literally burned and left red marks for weeks, used it again after fixing my skincare routine, a lot of moisturizers, and it worked pretty well!!
Every dermatologist I have ever had has said eye cream is a must - especially if you are prescribed a retina. (It acts as a protective layer from those harsh chemicals - even if you're doing a great job avoiding your under eye while applying it can still irritate the area) They always suggest avoiding the expensive stuff and opting for something from the drug store.
The activation step is crucial with some creams, it's too thick if you apply it straight to the face and it will tug at the skin, by rubbing it in between the hands it will actually thin out and spread out more and then lightly pat onto the face
Thank you for calling out the BS marketing gimmicks of the beauty industry! Most of the time, they're just after your hard-earned cash. I applaud you for this.👏👏👍👍
My eye cream and lip cream is 💦Aquaphor💦( did I spell that right) my eyes look great and my lips. When I have extra cash I will splurge for an eye cream.
Aquaphor is a great occlusive so locks in moisture - if you've already used a hyaluronic acid serum, this is all you'll need pre 30s🙏💜 Post 30s, maybe you use an anti ageing product, with retinol, but for now, it's fine🙏💜
Yeees looove Aquaphor, it literally grew my freaking lashes and brows too!! I use it almost everyday am & pm. At first i did the tik tok sludging thing for my skin and noticed insane hair growth…even my baby hairs grew lol so now i just massage a lil bit on my brows and eye lids. I recommend this to anyone with sparse brows or lashes. Took me about 2 weeks to notice the growth
I use an eye cream because i have oily acne prone skin so can’t really use anything heavy over my whole face. I like having a thicker moisturizing cream for my eyes.
I only use eye cream because its thicker, and I have super oily skin otherwise so my other creams are thin. I totally use all my other serums and treatments on my eyes, I use all the other stuff I use all over, then I just top it off with an eye cream on my eyes because they're dryer. I also like to use it on my lips or any other dry area, but I also use any thicker cream I get instead whenever I have them, there's rarely any difference in eye creams than other thick moisturizers. There are some eye creams that are depuffing or other eye targeting things of course. I also use all my skincare on my neck and the backs of my hands! Including my prescription tretinoin. Lots of people use their stuff on their necks but I think a lot of people don't think about the back of their hands. Sunscreen too! I found a hand lotion with SPF I've been trying out.
The "If its burning its working" was something I've always believed so it ended up with me using products that really irritate my skin and swells it up. My adult self is probably crying looking back at my skin care habbits
Aha/Bha peel only burns when I haven’t used it in awhile. It is a strong peel after all. The skin has to adjust and will eventually. At least that’s my experience. It has made my skin look good.
For sensitive eyes which water easily for any sunscreen or few creams, eye creams r a relief. Especially ones that are dermatologist n ophthalmologist tested …. I agree with everything mentioned in this video except the eye cream
Because You need to use ENOUGH of the CC to equate to that spf50, with how much cc is needed to cover face, it's not going to be enough. You should be using a separate sunscreen.
I have Ordinary peel, first it was fine, it burned for first 10 seconds, then it was fine, I used it for at least 6 months and then two times in a row it burned my face, I had like this puffy red allergic reaction type of thing. Not sure if I should risk going back to it because before the trouble - it actually did improve my skin as I have a lot of acne scars :(
I have terrible acne scarring and the Glycolic Toner and Lactic acid from Ordinary helped SO much. It's a bummer you can't use their exfoliate anymore but if I can remember a better one I'll let you know.
@@candiejo8724 Thank you so much! I'll then try to buy Ordinary's Glycolic Toner and Lactic acid when I'll have some money. Do you have sensitive skin? Mine's one so was wondering if these two you mentioned might be too strong for me xd.
Great tips! Your saving so many from making big mistakes. Sometimes less is more. Some wear like 20 different things on their skin causing harm and breakouts. Keep it simple is best!
The palm of your hand doesn’t have pores. So it’s not a waste. And some products, like the turmeric glow moisturizer from kora organs has a balm texture so pressing it between your fingertips warms the oils in it. Follow those directions. But skincare at home shouldn’t cause you pain. In a doctors office a peel can be painful but with amazing results. You can never have enough sunscreen. Truly. Your hands are the best tools to melt products into the skin. And a tip I use is a nutrient face mist between skincare steps. So spray, apply, wait like 15 seconds and repeat.
Yes! Thank you for this I am a derm and I was thinking …. Uhhh Some products you will feel especially peels although we do put you out for the major ones and use topical numbing agents! but the less intensive ones you will feel this applies to home regimens as well. Find a trusted professional for cosmeceuticals and wear sunscreen or don’t bother with any chemical exfoliants or treatments . Just wear sunscreen that’s the best advice I can give
@@sab-nm9di pores are what absorb things. Korean skincare is applied by hands. But skincare is personal so if this is what you want to do, then do you.
@@Debsdoesstuff pores does very little absorbing. Skin absorption is products going through the stratum corneum. edit: notice that when we put lotion on our palms, it doesn’t just sit there until you wipe it off.
Yes you DO need eye cream. Not because they are magical but because not everything is formulated for the eye area. You should never use products not formulated for the eye around the eye. It can cause irritation and damage over time.
If it burns it's working is sometimes true for me. But only in the case where my skin is EXTREMELY dry. As soon as it's at a normal level I don't feel anything.
Whenever I put moisturizer on my face, I always sweat like crazy & it feels like it's just too much on my face. Does anyone know why? I can't imagine putting moisturizer AND sunscreen on my face. Anyone have any advice??🥺
your moisturizer probably has alcohol in the ingredients list, which gives a little heat and you feel like you’re sweating. I just wait it out and when it’s cool and dry I apply sunscreen on top.
Use NIOD SDSM on a damp face (after cleansing with a gentle cleanser and cold/cool water) then maybe a hydrating serum, and/or a small amount of light lotion like Cerave Moisturising lotion. For sunscreen maybe skip the moisturiser if your skin doesn't need it and use a hydrating chemical sunscreen like La Roche Posay Anthelios XL, and keep them all in the fridge!! Oh and patch test everything obv
I agree on everything except eye cream, but only for some. If you want to reduce dark circles and puffiness, there are some ingredients like licorice, kojic acid and tranexamic acid for darkness and vitamin k and caffeine for puffiness that are not normally in face products. There are always going to be exceptions of course. But if you don't have darkness or puffiness, gentle face products will be fine under the eyes.
@@helenyeager9768 Tinted moisturizers do not give enough UV coverage as most people will not apply enough of it to ensure an optimal protection. You should always put on sunscreen before putting on your foundation/tinted cream, even if it says it has a UV protection in it
Merci..Sorry. I'm a big believer I eye cream. I seen people no eye cream et it didn't do wonders on their under eye. Plus the ingredients you mentioned for eye cream aren't organic. The under eyes are very delicate et need a gentle touch.
Not me seeing that with using that exact ordinary mask during the winter months and having it irritate my skin 😭 I have rosacea and I stopped everything except my morning serums, cleanser, and moisturizer and sunscreen ofc. My rosacea does not like the weather change but I’m trying to just be nice to my skin for now.
Agree with everything you said, except the eye cream. You may not need eye cream if you are below 30. After 30, it is better to start using eye cream/serum/mask regularly.
Omg the exfoliator actually doesn’t burn or tingle my skin at all and at first I thought that there was something wrong cuz everyone was saying that if it burns it’s working but then I found out otherwise and was so relieved lol
how should we apply it then? Your dropper etc should never touch your skin.. And the thing with warming masks etc.. yes burning is not it but.. there are masks that help with rosacea.. I worked in the beauty intusdry too.. in germany.. with dermatologist approved and used skincare lines.. :)
As a licensed esthetician, use your finger tips. No you don't want to waste product by putting it in your palms, but your fingertips are perfect as they warm the product for you and allow you to gently push into your skin.
@@janislechleitner you will have to use your hands at some point. Otherwise how will you spread the product on the skin. I think what she means is don't rub it between your palms
In Australia makeup with SPF is good enough because it’s regulated as a medical product. Australia has super strict sunscreen regulations and I’ll never buy sunscreen anywhere else, I just pack extra of my Aussie one because it’s all I trust.
I love my eye cream.😂 My skin under my eyes is super sensitive and I use a very light cream. I've had zits/irritation pop up under my eyes with normal face cream. To each their own!
Love theOrdinary BHA, some mild tingling that dissipates. Have been using it for a year and my skin looks younger and clearer. Love Love Love. Test patch it like the directions say.. Not for everyone. No eye cream I use vaseline a couple of times a week and if I"m outside on really cold days, I use it to protect from windburn. No expensive creams needed.
I also have two: 1. Don’t wash your face under warm or hot water. Somebody told me washing your face under the shower makes all the dirt go away. I always take hot showers and washing my face under hot water made it break out very very bad 2. Don’t use guasha on your acne. I did this too, thought it would smooth out my skin but instead I had the worst inflammation and a very painful breakout. And just so you know, acne is nothing to be ashamed of and it doesn’t make you uglier. As soon as you find peace with yourself your skin will too
I use a special moisturiser, when I put it on it burns slightly. But it’s not bad. It just cools my skin down and removes the redness. I love that cream And personally, I would never use vaseline for the face. Only lips.
Some sunscreens can really burn if they get in your eyes, but you can use sunscreen sticks, Labmuffin did a video about it...my sister just uses a lipbalm that has spf around her eyes, I use my normal sunscreen applied carefully because I usually wear makeup
There are some sunscreens that doesn't cause eye watering or stinging, I personally use la roche posay anthelios and it doesn't cause me any irritations even when I use it around my eyes, you should just try and find which works for you. When it comes to retinol/retinoid you should use products dedicated for the eye area, most retinol face serums are not meant to go around your eyes
Onky eye cream i like is first aid beauty niacinamide one... it has a peach color with a glow so it acts as a light concealer AND actualy helps by dark circles after few weeks i seen real improvement. Only thing is it does cost $30 but last forever
I 😉 realize this is off topic but I would really appreciate a sunscreen recommendation to protect face when using retinol or C serums that are light, non comegenic, non cancer chemicals and affordable 😘 TY 4 sharing
I generally agree with the burning/tingling one, except the exfoliate you showed in the video actually works really well for me! It does sting for about 30 seconds to a minute, but after that I can barely even feel it. With everything else I’d say burning is a no go, but that product is definitely the exception for me!
Omg no! I would definitely still use eye cream. The skin under your eyes is more thin, delicate, and sensitive so I feel like you’d need a more gentle product for that. Plus sometimes some are formulated to help eye bags and dark circles.
@@FC-hj9ub not necessarily. The eye creams are more specific. Why don’t people use body wash for you face? Well body wash isn’t formulated for your face because the skin on your face is different than the skin on your body and the skin around your eyes is different than the skin on the rest of your face. Not all the skin on yourself is that same so they require different needs. Ofc there are some face creams that are an exception that say you can put it around your eyes so you can, but other than that if it doesn’t say then I’m keeping those two products separate.
@@moon_0207 If you check out board certified dermatologists on CZcams such as Shereene Idriss, Dr. Dray, Davin Lim and Doctorly, the majority will tell you, you do not need eye cream.
Side note: I use IT CC Cream. One year my family went to the beach on July 4. It’s in Washington State (not high UV index places like Florida), and even in summer the beaches are cold, windy, yet sunny and of course, sunscreen is necessary regardless no matter what. This particular day I literally forgot sunscreen and it turned into a very warm day with the sun more intense than I had ever seen. I was a little worried that I would go home with a sunburn. Welp, turns out my body got a little pink, but my face did not. All I wore all day was IT CC Cream. Slather on sunscreen in addition to 50 SPF foundation products because this is recommended, but just sayin’. IT CC Cream didn’t do me dirty.
Great video. I use IT cosmetics. But I apply zinc spf broad spectrum 50 first, then IT cosmetics spf cc on top assuming IT cosmetics doesn’t cancel out the spf 50. Am I still getting enough spf protection?
@@ekaterinanaprienko1152 Hey, I think it's great if we can use the recommended amount of SPF with IT Cosmetics. But in my case, I apply a lot less than the recommended amount because of its foundation like consistency. Therefore can't rely on it alone for SPF 50.
I actually have that foundation it’s supper good. Not really for sunscreen like she said but I only use a little bit and it just is seamless.

Some serums aren't recommended for the eye area because the ingredient is prone to causing irritation at that concentration in that sensitive area. And then there are some products that are legitimately harmful to put near the eyes. So yeah, do this at your own risk lol
I have ultra sensitive skin. Whenever I use a new product, it makes my skin red. But after using it a few more times, the irritation stops. I literally used baby moisturizer, and it made my skin red and tingly until it got used to it.
I had the same problem for the longest time until I tried Korean skincare. Most of their products don't irritate my skin
I heard Murad is good for really sensitive skin but it is definitely on the pricy side
It's so weird that sensitive skin products are the ones that sensitize my skin.
I always test new products on my body before using on my face. Things that are supposed to be soothing have greatly irritated my skin. You can never be too careful imo.
I know the feeling, I would recommend Cetaphil, it’s really heavy as a cream, but never irritates my skin
100 percent on the tingling thing! I’ve chemically burned my face several times. I have eczema as well and my skin is pretty sensitive. Aloe Vera is a godsend for me!
YES Aloe vera is amazing
Do you use fresh plant or store bought?
@@klarabarunovic9841 I personally use store bought, I also use cocoa butter too which I’ve found to be really moisturising!
@@lemon3945 nah u burned your face mainly because u r a girl! boys wont get burn like u do
Same! I was told told my whole life that tingling was good. I used lotions on my face for 15 years before i realized i was allergic to them and switched to silver and/or hemp oil (depending in what was available) and my acne improved dramatically. 😅
The Ordinary BHA and Glycolic Acid burn for me but my skin is left clearer, glowing and rejuvenated though 😅
Same! It means its exfoliating the dead skin.
Same I love mine 😳
BHA burns a little bit when applying and then a slight tingling every now and then, otherwise it’s fine. So I take it as my skin is okay with it lol
The ONLY time I will ever use eye cream is when it comes as a free sample 😂
Omg same! I have a few samples and they're all I use
I have allergies and my eyes usually acts up and eye cream genuinely helps relaxing them, face cream or what ever wouldn't do the same
If an eye cream helps means its most likely an ointment. I have had eye allergies all my life but I don't need to apply the prescripted eye cream every day, only when I feel like something is acting up again I go to the pharmacy to buy it. If you are putting on some random eye cream just to relax your eyes every day... let's just say the skin around your eyes is gonna age a lot faster.
i have dermatitis on my eyelid and I’m not fond of using steroid to it bcs it worsened my glaucoma. I start using eye cream for sensitive skin (that doesn’t have retinol or active ingredient) and it works just as good as the steroid one.
Yep!
What can I use for my dark circles? If she says that you don’t need eye creams, does she mean we can put face creams with retinol in that area? I thought that area was to sensitive
@@Michelle-ss8km very little amount wouldn't hurt, it just shouldn't get in your eyelids. But it won't help with dark circles, in fact nothing would except sleep schedule.
Yes to everything except #1. MOST eye creams are a scam and the use for less bags/brightening is usually where the scam lies. BUT, some face products should be avoided around the eyes, especially because the skin is thinner. Also it can get into your eyes worse case scenario. However, yes, most of my retinols and face creams are good enough for the eye area too
What about serums?
@@-SimonRiley it depends on the serum and its strength. I would say test a little bit under the eye first. Be careful with upper lid application (make sure it dries) before bed. It can get into the eye easily and cause irritation. If you’re not too photosensitive, I’ve found red light therapy with a retinol to be the most effective products on the market for improving eye wrinkles, discoloration, and even helping to drain puffy eyes. But if the skin is sagging or stretched out from time, these home remedies only go so far! But they certainly help. Best of luck ❤
@@SopranoVictoria damn and I thought I knew everything about skincare
@@SopranoVictoria What about face oil?
@@emmalayla8373 honestly, I would not apply it around the eye, especially at night. I’ve found that some oils tend to get into people’s eyes because they don’t absorb as easily as lighter creams and serums. Also if the oil is heavy enough, it can put you at risk for acne/milia around your eyes. Think about it this way, if you were to have a bad reaction where on your face would you want it to happen? But most significantly, I wouldn’t want milia developing around the eye area. They’re hard to get rid of. Lastly, it can make it difficult for long lasting makeup application around the eye where we tend to put liner, mascara, and powders.
I have super annoying dark circles and hyperpigmentation under my eyes, as well as some fine lines, so I use an eye cream bc it improves how it looks and feels, but not all eye creams are created equal and I wouldn't say its a necessity unless you're like me and have something specifically that you want to treat
Please what eye cream did you use for your under eye? I have the same exact thing but nothing seemed to work 😭
What product do you use?
My skin around my eyes gets really dry and If I put regular moisturizer around my eyes it leaks into my eye actualize during the day and burns them so yes Eye cream is a necessity i’ve also seen a huge difference In puffiness
For me the eye cream doesn't work. I still have dark circles and puffy eyes.
It’s really not a necessity for most people, I don’t have any issue with my moisturiser leaking into my eyes, lol. I apply my serum and moisturiser purposely around my eyes and they’re all good
@@sadieockerby3993 is it laughable I have that problem?
@@juliecarnevali5534 I just said “lol” because it’s uncommon and I’ve never heard of that happening before. It’s kinda strange
@@juliecarnevali5534 if it happens to you, then it is a thing that happens to people. I agree and I swear by eye cream. We don’t all have the same kind of skin and that accounts for everyone having different opinions about eye cream
The Ordinary peel you showed works wonders for me. That being said it doesn’t burn my skin personally, it doesn’t even tingle. Doesn’t feel like anything to me unless it gets on my lips (then it tingles a bit, kinda like lemon juice). My skin always looks so smooth after I use it. I think The Ordinary is a great, inexpensive skincare line. Another fave of mine is their Azelaic acid.
They didn't mention the specific product being bad just that it shouldn't burn. Tingle is ok burning is a no go
@@crunchevo8974 Kind of misleading to use it as a background picture while talking about burning then. 🤔
Also I don’t 100% agree with burning = no go. I think this is true for most products but there are exceptions. For example, I’ve been doing salicylic acid chemical peels myself at home for years, similar to what dermatologists use but at a lower percentage. They’re probably not something I would recommend a beginner to use at home, but yes they burn. They even have to be diluted with baking soda to neutralize, but have done wonders for my skin.
That and professional laser treatments literally burn your skin. There are multiple exceptions to this statement.
@@missmelodyjoy it's a rule of thumb not a law. For most every skincare rule there are exceptions. I don't think it's misleading cause i didn't feel mislead but then again I'm educated on what that product is.
I'd not do laser treatments or salacylic acid peels at home. Personally I'll stick with my daily 2% BHA Paula's choice liquid lol.
@@crunchevo8974 Yeah, that’s why I made my original comment. If you’re not educated, I do think it’s misleading. Not sure why else she showed that product.
@@crunchevo8974 Also, I don’t do laser treatments at home… lol I’ve had them done professionally. Can’t afford that kind of machinery. 😉
I see what she's trying to say about eye creams, most brands are just selling lies, but they're still important especially if you're using retinol as she mentioned which is drying especially under the eye area
Yeah exactly the eye skin is thinner and much more sensitive so eye creams must meet different regulations at least where I live and they have to be approved by ophthalmologists not just dermatologists
You could just use your moisturizer though.
I’m not really sure where you live, but I know the skin around the eye is thinner, but that doesn’t mean it needs a special product. I’ve seen a lot of skincare professionals online talk about why eye cream is a scam.
Most of them aren’t any different than the moisturizer. They just sell less of the same product for more.
At least, that’s what I understand of America’s general policies.
@@flutenanyidk1806 right some moisturizers would do the job but not all moisturizers can go under your eye, at least for me, most ones I apply there would cause me irritations and my eyes would water. I prefer to apply raw shea butter under my eye at night, and a fragrance free eye cream during the day. I still use moisturizers as well as long as they don't irritate my eyes and are moisturizing enough
Retinol and derivatives should completely be avoided near eyes.
There are studies showing it causes permanant atropy of tear glands on eye lids.
It's better to seal of eyes with eye cream vasaline while using Vit A derivatives and washing it of in few hours.
Most dermat while talking about eyes talk of skin near eyes ignoring eye itself which is much more delicate and needs more care
I realize you may have more education than me, but I'm in my late 40's without a single wrinkle around or near my eyes and I faithfully use an eye cream. I actually think that everyone is individualized in what they need or what works for them.
Which eye cream??
Hey which one do you use?
Please tell us which one?
@@mishal81 inkey list eye cream and the ordinary aye serum also good
@@Drtia206 oh ty for the info
The issue I have with the eye cream one is that eye creams have been clinically tested so that it is safe so use around your eye. That’s why a regular moisturizer doesn’t claim to be safe around your eyes because it hasn’t been tested, and there could be ingredients that aren’t safe for that area. Plus a good eye cream usually has specific ingredients that are great for the eye area but not really useful for the rest of your face.
Exactly that's what I feel...
The rule is - if its not safe around your eye do not use it at all. A good moisturizer shouldn’t cause irritations.
@@magdalenaborek8350You missed the point of what they said ma'am.
I agree with everything in this video👏🏿👏🏿 Thank you girl
Jesus loves you so much more than you think repent and stay blessed🎉🎉
The ordinary’s aha/bha peel is not supposed to burn. Maybe slight tingling at first. I haven’t heard anyone claim that yet. It’s an excellent product, but I do think some people leave it on too long. The directions recommend 10 minutes, but I think starting out with 5 is a better option.
The ordinary aha/bha peel is great IF you need it and use it correctly. So many people got chemical burns because of tik tok.
You don't need your face to look like it's covered in blood and you DONT leave it on for more than a few minutes and you DEFINITELY don't use it after manually exfoliating or using other products containing retinol, vit c, and several others on your face.
I use my fingertips when I apply serums/moisturizers. The only thing I put in the palm of my hand is my toner and I pat it in instead of rubbing.
My toner fix is to use a spray bottle, depending on the viscosity of your toner, of course. The thinner ones always go in a spray bottle-I’ve got Bioderma Sensibio in one of those continuous spray misting bottles, then my glycolic acid toner and a Rosewater toner in 4oz glass spray bottles. The “zero touch” method.
@@segwrites maybe I should try the no touch method.
I've heard that it's good to pat in your toner (with a cotton pad or something like that... or fingertips I guess). It was a video Kim K posted about the lady who does her facials ... 🤔
@@samwuensch it is. The warmth from your hands helps the product absorb better. As long as your hands are clean you should always gently pat your toner and other products on to bring the up to temperature.
I started to apply eye cream many years ago and I swear by the result !
No
Agree. Generally eye creams are not needed by younger people. But as you get into your older 20s, a preventative eye cream is a good idea. For those at a more advanced age, eye creams can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. For post-menopausal women who don't produce as much sebum, the eye area can get dried out, and eye creams help.
Tl; dr: this girl's opinion on eye cream is heavily influenced by her age. She's likely to change her mind as she gets older.
You can simply use anti-wrinkle moisturizers and it'll have the same effect and you'll get more product
@@raerohan4241 I mean you say "eye cream" with no mention of what makes it so different, as if there's some magical ingredient that only comes in eye creams. You could buy a moisturizer or serum with the same ingredients with similar formulation and thickness and get the same result. And it would probably be cheaper.
@@raerohan4241 you can just apply an extra layer of your normal moisturizer under your eyes, it works as same as eye creams. Your under eyes just need moisture.
This is 100% true! My dermatologist told me the exact same thing. You dont need eye cream, just apply multiple thin layers of your moisturizer until your skin feels hydrated. Feel your skin!! Retinol, true! Apply small amounts for mighty results! Also, there is no "activation" going on when rubbing creams on your hands. Cleanser is the only thing that needs to be applied onto hands to create bubbles! Let it sit for a max of 1 min so cleanser can have time to clean! Great advice!
I only use eye cream when my eyelids feel more dry than other parts of my face, especially when I put a lot of makeup on my eyes for a while.
Just use lotion lol
I feel like the eye cream is way more flexible because for some people like me it’s a must in the skincare routine, like I have a condition where my under eyes are way more dry and sensitive
I started adding eye cream to my morning & night routine because of how dry my inner corners of my eyes can get, which really made applying eye makeup challenging without it looking caked/flaked
You don't need retinol either, even moreso than you don't need eye cream
What do you recommend instead of retinol
I worked at Sephora ca. 2016, and the eye cream one is really accurate, that’s a sales tactic that I saw a lot.
Yes I have a skin care set only eye cream is seems like doing nothing others things are great
but isn't it considered unsafe to put regular lotion or actives on your eyelids because it could get in your eyes? (not that i don't do this re the lotion at least, just thought it was a no-no)
@@alexamurray1800depends what it is. Some moisturisers / serums / creams / whatevers might be a bit harsh for the eye area. Others will be absolutely fine for the eye area, but they won’t be advertised as such - usually for profit reasons or because they didn’t test it so can’t legally confirm.
I have sensitive skin anyway so just use a basic moisturiser and I use it around my eyes lmao, I do not have time for expensive stuff if a cheap one works :)
@@alexamurray1800many moisturizers are safe for around the eyes. For example brands like cerave, cetaphil.
Sunscreens and hydrating serums ++
this is so important!! my mom is the kind of people who would do anything a specialist told her just because of their title, it took me so long to convince her she needs to use sunscreen even if she was using the moisturizer + fps her esthetician gave her lol
Could you inform me about that? What is wrong with spf 50+? That is what I use and I am a redhair, so if I get any little sun I get tones of frekles in 30 min.
I didn't get that by applying spf50 more or less 4 times a day.
Is the problem that a moisturizer + spf is not really an spf but just a moisturizer with little spf added?
@@Agape122 if you’re using a sunscreen that’s spf50, that’s perfect. but if you’re using a moisturizer that has spf in it, it’s likely you’re not getting enough protection. this is because 1. you’d need to apply a big amount to reach that spf50 protection 2. you’re less likely to reapply every 2 hours like it’s recommended 3. many moisturizers with spf are deceiving in the protection they provide and 4. most of them claim to be 30spf or 20spf so that’s even less sunblock. you can use both tho, but please use an actual sunscreen, specially if your skin is so sensitive to the sun. even if the others seem to be working for you, the UV damage could come in the long run. hope this helps!
@@azul4904 awww thanks a lot that answer was such great help!
I never ever heard that but yes I always use real spf 50.
Ok so mosturizers and makeup with spf don't do the same job as something which is JUST spf, because the spf gets mixed with too many things.
Very usefull info! Thanks!
@@Agape122 no problem! and please remember that you will only get spf50 protection if you’re applying enough amount of product. have a good day!💌
@@azul4904 oh I do apply among enough believe me🙈 I usually have to be carefull to not overdo it and look weird with my face too grassy or too white.

I’m 38 and eye cream feels fabulous 😂 I think when you get older it is helpful. I used it off and on when I was younger. To each their own. But I do hate products being pushed especially when they imply you need it. 😒
As Wayne Goss advises, never depend on make up that has SPF. After cleansing the face, add a moisturiser that has an SPF and then wait ten minutes, for the moisturiser to be absorbed and then add the make up on top of the moisturiser!
Better yet: use an actual SPF (with moisturizing component if you need it) and then make up on top
As someone who has had skincare products irritate my skin I can confirm I used a product with benzoyl peroxide and it burned a little bit but then a day later my t zone was red, shiny and dry
the only one that wasn’t extremely well known was the eye cream one and there was a disclaimer that it mostly does work
After working in salons and being a licensed cosmetologist the one thing I won’t do.. is wear false lashes. I have seen so many of my friends have trouble with their lashes over the years. I guess if they were already sparse I would consider it. But I will take the lash curler and mascara any day over false lashes.
what about individual false lashes?
@@karinay6413 they are a better option than the strip lashes. But can still cause some lash loss. They always tell you if they are taken care of right this won’t happen. But it usually does. Just not as bad as the strip lashes.
It’s honestly depends on the state of your lashes now .. if you have thick or long lashes I wouldn’t do it.
@@karinay6413 people ask me all of the time where I get mine done. I tell them I found an amazing lash curler from tarte and any a lot of mascaras will do the trick
@@molleycharles9313 thank you!
For serums and oils with a medicine dropper, apply the product on your fingertips. People too often touch the applicator to their face which is constantly introducing bacteria back into the bottle. It’ll shorten its shelf life and overall effectiveness.
Eye cream works for when you have dry eyes and want to wear concealer. The concealer don’t get flaky on top of eye cream.
Giiiiiiiirl ... I thought I was going to have to disagree with you but damn you hit the nail on the head. I hardly ever sell people products they don't need it's a waste of money even though I get commission I don't want to have to feel like I need to con people to get what I want.
eye cream is unnecessary 95% of the time. the only times you’d want it is if it’s targeting an eye-specific concern (i.e. caffeine for dark circles etc) or if it’s a retinol, which would be better than tretinoin for sensitive eyes, they’re unnecessary, but if you like yours then go off, because skincare is self care
True Indeed especially since 95 percent of the time they are expensive face moisturizers just use your face cream
eye cream is necessary because the skin around the eye is thinner and more sensitive. applying a regular moisturizer in that area causes milia.
I don’t have as sensitive skin as others but I had to learn the hard way if it stings WASH IT OFF my skin was literally burned and left red marks for weeks, used it again after fixing my skincare routine, a lot of moisturizers, and it worked pretty well!!
Every dermatologist I have ever had has said eye cream is a must - especially if you are prescribed a retina. (It acts as a protective layer from those harsh chemicals - even if you're doing a great job avoiding your under eye while applying it can still irritate the area) They always suggest avoiding the expensive stuff and opting for something from the drug store.
To Koreans beauty is very serious business. We can take from them. 💜
Yeah plastic surgery
The activation step is crucial with some creams, it's too thick if you apply it straight to the face and it will tug at the skin, by rubbing it in between the hands it will actually thin out and spread out more and then lightly pat onto the face
Thank you for calling out the BS marketing gimmicks of the beauty industry! Most of the time, they're just after your hard-earned cash. I applaud you for this.👏👏👍👍
Can you make a video on skin care routine from drugstore products?
My eye cream and lip cream is 💦Aquaphor💦( did I spell that right) my eyes look great and my lips. When I have extra cash I will splurge for an eye cream.
Omg I just used aquaphor my eyes the other day because it soothed the irritation of an allergic reaction and thought I was crazy. I’m not alone!!
Aquaphor is a great occlusive so locks in moisture - if you've already used a hyaluronic acid serum, this is all you'll need pre 30s🙏💜 Post 30s, maybe you use an anti ageing product, with retinol, but for now, it's fine🙏💜
Yeees looove Aquaphor, it literally grew my freaking lashes and brows too!! I use it almost everyday am & pm. At first i did the tik tok sludging thing for my skin and noticed insane hair growth…even my baby hairs grew lol so now i just massage a lil bit on my brows and eye lids. I recommend this to anyone with sparse brows or lashes. Took me about 2 weeks to notice the growth
Which one Aquaphor?
@@azzyazeez hi! Which one? There are several
I use an eye cream because i have oily acne prone skin so can’t really use anything heavy over my whole face. I like having a thicker moisturizing cream for my eyes.
Your content is wonderful-I always look forward to it! 😊👏
I only use eye cream because its thicker, and I have super oily skin otherwise so my other creams are thin. I totally use all my other serums and treatments on my eyes, I use all the other stuff I use all over, then I just top it off with an eye cream on my eyes because they're dryer. I also like to use it on my lips or any other dry area, but I also use any thicker cream I get instead whenever I have them, there's rarely any difference in eye creams than other thick moisturizers. There are some eye creams that are depuffing or other eye targeting things of course.
I also use all my skincare on my neck and the backs of my hands! Including my prescription tretinoin. Lots of people use their stuff on their necks but I think a lot of people don't think about the back of their hands. Sunscreen too! I found a hand lotion with SPF I've been trying out.
Your so right, also u don’t need a special neck cream for your neck just use whatever u use on your face and bring it down to your neck and chest.
The "If its burning its working" was something I've always believed so it ended up with me using products that really irritate my skin and swells it up. My adult self is probably crying looking back at my skin care habbits
Aha/Bha peel only burns when I haven’t used it in awhile. It is a strong peel after all. The skin has to adjust and will eventually. At least that’s my experience. It has made my skin look good.
Girl, you surely opened my eyes. ❤️
Pls tell us more about the last one - how much sunscreen do we need (what volume)?
i was wondering about the sunscreen too. that just seems extremely dumb that 50 spf in a bb cream isn’t good enough. don’t get ME started.
Spf 50 is good. Spf 30 doesn't do much so whatever you use more than 30 will do the job. She is wrong.
For sensitive eyes which water easily for any sunscreen or few creams, eye creams r a relief. Especially ones that are dermatologist n ophthalmologist tested …. I agree with everything mentioned in this video except the eye cream
The BEST ADVICE & HONESTY that I've seen in a long time!! Thanks shug!!❤️💓💐🎀❤️💓💐🎀
I use that cc cream. Why is it not enough? I hear this all the time but i don’t understand why it should matter what product it is if its spf50
Yeah can someone explain plz
Because You need to use ENOUGH of the CC to equate to that spf50, with how much cc is needed to cover face, it's not going to be enough. You should be using a separate sunscreen.
I have Ordinary peel, first it was fine, it burned for first 10 seconds, then it was fine, I used it for at least 6 months and then two times in a row it burned my face, I had like this puffy red allergic reaction type of thing. Not sure if I should risk going back to it because before the trouble - it actually did improve my skin as I have a lot of acne scars :(
I have terrible acne scarring and the Glycolic Toner and Lactic acid from Ordinary helped SO much. It's a bummer you can't use their exfoliate anymore but if I can remember a better one I'll let you know.

Great tips! Your saving so many from making big mistakes. Sometimes less is more. Some wear like 20 different things on their skin causing harm and breakouts. Keep it simple is best!
The palm of your hand doesn’t have pores. So it’s not a waste. And some products, like the turmeric glow moisturizer from kora organs has a balm texture so pressing it between your fingertips warms the oils in it. Follow those directions. But skincare at home shouldn’t cause you pain. In a doctors office a peel can be painful but with amazing results. You can never have enough sunscreen. Truly. Your hands are the best tools to melt products into the skin. And a tip I use is a nutrient face mist between skincare steps. So spray, apply, wait like 15 seconds and repeat.
Pores or not, your palm still absorbs products
Yes! Thank you for this I am a derm and I was thinking …. Uhhh Some products you will feel especially peels although we do put you out for the major ones and use topical numbing agents! but the less intensive ones you will feel this applies to home regimens as well. Find a trusted professional for cosmeceuticals and wear sunscreen or don’t bother with any chemical exfoliants or treatments . Just wear sunscreen that’s the best advice I can give
@@sab-nm9di pores are what absorb things. Korean skincare is applied by hands. But skincare is personal so if this is what you want to do, then do you.
@@amberrose3237 no amount of money c an buy you good skin if you don’t use sunscreen consistently! I’m hope to become an aesthetician!
@@Debsdoesstuff pores does very little absorbing. Skin absorption is products going through the stratum corneum.

Bro, my CeraVe cleanser started BURNING my skin really bad. I switched to Cetaphil, so much better for my sensitive skin.
It only started burning me after two months so yeah I just switched to vaseline.
the ordinary plus cerave combination is the only brands that’s clear my skin
I honestly like the eyecream. I saw a major difference since I’ve been applying it. I tend to have a little bit of dry skin around my eyes.
I feel like eye cream is definitely a necessity. I think that’s a matter of opinion
Yes you DO need eye cream. Not because they are magical but because not everything is formulated for the eye area. You should never use products not formulated for the eye around the eye. It can cause irritation and damage over time.
If you want to spend that money it’s up to you 😅but you know some creams are fine for both.
This really helped me because I have such sensitive skin and Eczema so I need to be carful 😬
If it burns it's working is sometimes true for me. But only in the case where my skin is EXTREMELY dry. As soon as it's at a normal level I don't feel anything.
Whenever I put moisturizer on my face, I always sweat like crazy & it feels like it's just too much on my face. Does anyone know why? I can't imagine putting moisturizer AND sunscreen on my face. Anyone have any advice??🥺
your moisturizer probably has alcohol in the ingredients list, which gives a little heat and you feel like you’re sweating. I just wait it out and when it’s cool and dry I apply sunscreen on top.
Use NIOD SDSM on a damp face (after cleansing with a gentle cleanser and cold/cool water) then maybe a hydrating serum, and/or a small amount of light lotion like Cerave Moisturising lotion. For sunscreen maybe skip the moisturiser if your skin doesn't need it and use a hydrating chemical sunscreen like La Roche Posay Anthelios XL, and keep them all in the fridge!! Oh and patch test everything obv

I agree on everything except eye cream, but only for some. If you want to reduce dark circles and puffiness, there are some ingredients like licorice, kojic acid and tranexamic acid for darkness and vitamin k and caffeine for puffiness that are not normally in face products. There are always going to be exceptions of course. But if you don't have darkness or puffiness, gentle face products will be fine under the eyes.
Eye cream is amazing!!!! It adds another layer of moisture to keep your concealer from cracking or settling in cracks!!!
My skin used to burn while using The Ordinary AHA/BHA mask. I healed my skin barrier and now my skin barely tingles with that mask
The last one is so important. It’s amazing how little of the people I know are knowledgeable about their skin
I didn’t understand that one
@@helenyeager9768 Tinted moisturizers do not give enough UV coverage as most people will not apply enough of it to ensure an optimal protection. You should always put on sunscreen before putting on your foundation/tinted cream, even if it says it has a UV protection in it
Merci..Sorry. I'm a big believer I eye cream. I seen people no eye cream et it didn't do wonders on their under eye. Plus the ingredients you mentioned for eye cream aren't organic. The under eyes are very delicate et need a gentle touch.

YES to your statement on eye cream, extreme stinging, and warming products between palms
Agree with everything you said, except the eye cream. You may not need eye cream if you are below 30. After 30, it is better to start using eye cream/serum/mask regularly.

Omg the exfoliator actually doesn’t burn or tingle my skin at all and at first I thought that there was something wrong cuz everyone was saying that if it burns it’s working but then I found out otherwise and was so relieved lol
how should we apply it then?
Your dropper etc should never touch your skin..
And the thing with warming masks etc.. yes burning is not it but.. there are masks that help with rosacea..
I worked in the beauty intusdry too.. in germany.. with dermatologist approved and used skincare lines.. :)
As a licensed esthetician, use your finger tips. No you don't want to waste product by putting it in your palms, but your fingertips are perfect as they warm the product for you and allow you to gently push into your skin.
@@glittermafia5759 she said we shouldn't use our hands.. so no fingers to.. or i got that wrong because english is not my first language
@@janislechleitner you will have to use your hands at some point. Otherwise how will you spread the product on the skin. I think what she means is don't rub it between your palms
In Australia makeup with SPF is good enough because it’s regulated as a medical product. Australia has super strict sunscreen regulations and I’ll never buy sunscreen anywhere else, I just pack extra of my Aussie one because it’s all I trust.
I love my eye cream.😂 My skin under my eyes is super sensitive and I use a very light cream. I've had zits/irritation pop up under my eyes with normal face cream. To each their own!
Love theOrdinary BHA, some mild tingling that dissipates. Have been using it for a year and my skin looks younger and clearer. Love Love Love. Test patch it like the directions say.. Not for everyone. No eye cream I use vaseline a couple of times a week and if I"m outside on really cold days, I use it to protect from windburn. No expensive creams needed.
This is actually a good and educated video thank you for real quality content lol.
I also have two:
1. Don’t wash your face under warm or hot water. Somebody told me washing your face under the shower makes all the dirt go away. I always take hot showers and washing my face under hot water made it break out very very bad
2. Don’t use guasha on your acne. I did this too, thought it would smooth out my skin but instead I had the worst inflammation and a very painful breakout.
And just so you know, acne is nothing to be ashamed of and it doesn’t make you uglier. As soon as you find peace with yourself your skin will too
I use a special moisturiser, when I put it on it burns slightly.
But it’s not bad.
It just cools my skin down and removes the redness.
I love that cream
And personally, I would never use vaseline for the face.
Only lips.
For the eyes, just use your serum, your moisturizer and once your skin soaks it all in, put on some petroleum jelly to hold in the moisture
you can put sunscreen, retinol and similar to the eye area??
Some sunscreens can really burn if they get in your eyes, but you can use sunscreen sticks, Labmuffin did a video about it...my sister just uses a lipbalm that has spf around her eyes, I use my normal sunscreen applied carefully because I usually wear makeup
There are some sunscreens that doesn't cause eye watering or stinging, I personally use la roche posay anthelios and it doesn't cause me any irritations even when I use it around my eyes, you should just try and find which works for you. When it comes to retinol/retinoid you should use products dedicated for the eye area, most retinol face serums are not meant to go around your eyes
I love eye creams. Bobbi Brown and Dior have great ones. My under eye are needs them 😅
Onky eye cream i like is first aid beauty niacinamide one... it has a peach color with a glow so it acts as a light concealer AND actualy helps by dark circles after few weeks i seen real improvement. Only thing is it does cost $30 but last forever
I 😉 realize this is off topic but I would really appreciate a sunscreen recommendation to protect face when using retinol or C serums that are light, non comegenic, non cancer chemicals and affordable 😘 TY 4 sharing
I generally agree with the burning/tingling one, except the exfoliate you showed in the video actually works really well for me! It does sting for about 30 seconds to a minute, but after that I can barely even feel it. With everything else I’d say burning is a no go, but that product is definitely the exception for me!
Agreed! That stuff makes my skin beautiful.
Omg no! I would definitely still use eye cream. The skin under your eyes is more thin, delicate, and sensitive so I feel like you’d need a more gentle product for that. Plus sometimes some are formulated to help eye bags and dark circles.
The point is face creams already have these properties, so why buy 2 instead of one?
@@FC-hj9ub not necessarily. The eye creams are more specific. Why don’t people use body wash for you face? Well body wash isn’t formulated for your face because the skin on your face is different than the skin on your body and the skin around your eyes is different than the skin on the rest of your face. Not all the skin on yourself is that same so they require different needs. Ofc there are some face creams that are an exception that say you can put it around your eyes so you can, but other than that if it doesn’t say then I’m keeping those two products separate.
Still not a necessity. She said it, they can be nice but they’re not necessary.
@@ThisUserPassedAway I never said it was a necessity. I said that “I would” which means I personally would prefer to use it.
@@moon_0207 If you check out board certified dermatologists on CZcams such as Shereene Idriss, Dr. Dray, Davin Lim and Doctorly, the majority will tell you, you do not need eye cream.
This is all accurate. I'm so glad to see a skin care enthusiast actually give out factual information. ❣️
You are so professional! We want to collaborate with you 😍
I personally always grab a little extra product for my hands because it keeps them soft soooo idk about that one
Side note: I use IT CC Cream. One year my family went to the beach on July 4. It’s in Washington State (not high UV index places like Florida), and even in summer the beaches are cold, windy, yet sunny and of course, sunscreen is necessary regardless no matter what. This particular day I literally forgot sunscreen and it turned into a very warm day with the sun more intense than I had ever seen. I was a little worried that I would go home with a sunburn. Welp, turns out my body got a little pink, but my face did not. All I wore all day was IT CC Cream. Slather on sunscreen in addition to 50 SPF foundation products because this is recommended, but just sayin’. IT CC Cream didn’t do me dirty.
eye cream with a retinoid is good for preventing milia
The Avene one is good
Great video. I use IT cosmetics. But I apply zinc spf broad spectrum 50 first, then IT cosmetics spf cc on top assuming IT cosmetics doesn’t cancel out the spf 50. Am I still getting enough spf protection?
I would make sure you wait awhile to have the first layer absorbed but definitely seek an expert opinion.
May I ask about IT cosmetics spf cc… so it doesn’t provide spf?i just bought a tube thinking it has everything in it 😅
@@Violets14 sometimes I tend to apply the second one immediately. will keep that in mind. Thanks for your input!!!
@@ekaterinanaprienko1152 Hey, I think it's great if we can use the recommended amount of SPF with IT Cosmetics. But in my case, I apply a lot less than the recommended amount because of its foundation like consistency. Therefore can't rely on it alone for SPF 50.
I can use retinol under my eyes too? 😳
I use tretinoin under my eyes 3x/week. I put a thin layer of Vaseline and then the retinoid. The best eye cream one can buy!
I actually have that foundation it’s supper good. Not really for sunscreen like she said but I only use a little bit and it just is seamless. Like I don’t know if I’m a blending queen or it’s just nice but it goes with my concealer really well and helps create such a natural look .
ITS ALSO MY EXACT SHADE 😋😋😋
