10 Skin care PRODUCTS I DON'T USE| Dr Dray

Well hello guys, in today's video I am going to share with you 10

skin

care

products

. I don't buy things I don't buy, don't use. I have no interest in using some of these

products

, I may have bought and used them. in the past, but I'm not really interested in using them in the future, so yeah, and if you're new here, the first product shouldn't surprise you. I don't use eye creams, because creams are unnecessary, regardless of what moisturizer you are using. your face should be fine to use around your eyes, the

skin

around your eyes is more prone to developing irritation due to the ingredients, so many eye creams are formulated to have fewer ingredients, but honestly, if you give a Step back and really look at the big Imagine that your moisturizer should talk about a minimal list of ingredients and be okay to use around your eyes.

The moisturizers I use on my face will be more than fine to use around my eyes. The moisturizer you use on your face. it doesn't stay perfectly put, it's not like it's stuck to the skin where you put it, it moves and transfers to the skin around your eyelids, so to speak, like you're using a separate moisturizer, like there's this thing that defines the anatomical limits. between the skin of your cheek and your eyes and the product, you can't cross that line it's ridiculous, yes most moisturizers are more than fine to use around the skin of your eyelids, that being said, the things you don't want put, there will be ingredients. that are meant to exfoliate vitamin C serum shouldn't go there because it's very acidic, the skin around your eyelids can't handle it, but I mean it's not an exfoliating moisturizer with acids that you don't want to apply around your eyelids, so which is always wise Take a step back and don't put things in there, but that doesn't mean you need a separate moisturizer or for your eyelids, that's just a trick, so yeah, don't waste your time with eye creams, the second product you won't see me buying. you're a rosewater spray oh my gosh I can't walk into a store looking at skin

care

products and not see some kind of rosewater spray or whatever why don't I use them right?

In general, facial sprays are a bit gimmicky. spray water on your face and then that water evaporates and as it evaporates it can draw more water out of your skin, making it drier and more irritating. In the case of rosewater, there is nothing in rosewater that is evidence-based to provide any benefit to the skin, so spray your face with what is essentially a perfume and then spray the rosewater it evaporates and makes your skin drier, more irritated, and leaves behind the kind of rose ingredients that people think are helpful, but we don't really have any evidence. that's why and most of the time it can cause irritation, that doesn't mean I'm opposed to all facial sprays, some facial sprays have active ingredients that are moisturizers and you know, they can benefit the skin with the caveat that if you use a facial spray, apply it, spray it on your face and then apply a moisturizer on top to lock that active ingredient inside the spray. the next product.

I don't buy toners. Toners are something you won't see me buy and when I say toner, I know the definition of toner has morphed a lot in recent years, especially with the interest in K-beauty and Japanese skincare, they defined toner as something very different. I'm talking specifically about Western tonics. Western toners are alcohol-based products that were originally intended to balance the skin's pH and help remove cleansing residue and this used to be important because soaps and cleansers actually had a very strong pH, they were soaps. living base and these old school soaps that had a very strong alkaline, a very strong alkaline.

The pH will leave the soap behind and form a film of soap scum on the skin, so toners were necessary to balance and remove it, but soap and cleanser manufacturing has come a long way and soaps and cleansers are pH balanced. for the skin, so this is not a problem and therefore these toners are not necessary. These toners often contain alcohols which you know aren't the devil, but they can definitely dry out your skin and irritate it. Yes, toners are pretty outdated with the exception of many products about this on the skincare market claiming to be toners and are actually liquids that contain active ingredients, usually for acne, like salicylic acid toners.

I'm not opposed to the ones that are for people with acne, but you know if you don't have acne, there's really no need to use a toner and it can definitely dry out and irritate your skin so I don't recommend or use them. The fourth thing I don't waste my time, money or efforts on is trendy ingredients. they're trending and people get excited and you see when you walk into the store you see several Browns with new lines launching that include ingredients like charcoal, turmeric, rose water, CBD, you name it, all these ingredients, you know, the manufacturers that have. a way to take maybe one or two small little studies that we have in the literature and go crazy with them, like in the case of probiotics and skin care.

I mean, we have some studies and conditions like acne, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, that suggest that topical probiotics could be helpful for those skin conditions, but all the studies on those different skin conditions with probiotics use different strains, they look at different endpoints, there's so much variability that we don't really have the type of studies we need. to really say if they are beneficial, also we don't have any studies to suggest that if you don't have these inflammatory skin conditions like acne, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, you really need to use these things or what's the right strain, it's all of that.

So, that's an example of the same thing with turmeric. I see all the time in skin care products that it is very difficult to formulate it, but that won't stop manufacturers from incorporating it into many products and these ingredients are so commercialized that you already know it. it becomes an essential narrative ingredient and my comment sections and my videos, my Instagram comments are flooded with comments please comment please comment good products with this ingredient it's like taking a step back, we really don't have any data to prove that you need it. It's either important or your skin is even clever about it, so I don't get excited about trendy ingredients, that doesn't mean I don't try these ingredients a lot of times I get products sent to me because of my presence on YouTube. and you want me to talk about them, so I do, but yeah, so I don't get excited about trendy ingredients and neither should you.

I mean, don't drop everything, buy a new product or skincare line because it has some flashy new trend ingredient that's being heavily marketed as something you need when there's actually no data to suggest you actually need it. . The number five product that you won't see me buying is water wipes, water wipes like makeup wipes, baby cleansing wipes. wipes I actually don't buy wet wipes, the only time I think I remember using wipes is when dining at a restaurant where the main course was meant to be eaten with your hands and then the waiter or waitress brought them to you. a wipe with water or cleaning your hands when it comes to cleansing wipes they don't clean your skin they don't remove makeup they don't remove dirt they don't remove sebum or oil they just move it around they don't They don't even help dissolve it and Another problem with these products is that they have ingredients that leave a film on the skin that can cause irritation and many of these water wipes have preservatives such as methyl isothiocyanate.

People get allergic to it. and water wipes are one of the main causes of that type of skiing, an allergy, a big reason for that, it's not just the makeup remover wipes in face wash wipes or whatever you want to call them, baby wipes are another guilty that I do not have. babies, so I don't need to buy baby wipes, but if you have a toddler, keep in mind that wet wipes can cause a lot of irritation in the diaper area and cause diaper rash because they leave residue that can be irritating to the skin. of the baby.

Another reason I don't buy wet wipes is that they aren't the best for the environment. The number six product I don't buy will be scrubs, exfoliating masks, body scrubs, scrubs, anything that has Kakui sand in it. walnut seed shells I don't buy that stuff because simply bathing daily washing your face daily will help with exfoliation of those dead cells and scabs from the top layer of the skin, harsh mechanical exfoliators in Scrubs alone cause a lot of problems and cause irritation and all that, so I don't use them. I don't even have a particularly sensitive scan.

I just find those things to be a complete waste of time and also make a mess. They make a mess. I mean I've been sent these products before and I end up using them on my feet and they're messy, they get all over the shower and I just can't stand those scrubs, yeah I don't use hummus, no I mean yeah. Don't use that product number seven, you won't see me lose a penny. It will be an eyelash serum. Now I don't have any problems with my eyelashes. It turns out that I am happy with them, but if I had thin and sparse eyelashes, I still wouldn't buy the latest serums because they are a gimmick and can cause problems, they can cause irritation on the eyelids, rashes, it is not rather a fact that there was a lawsuit against one of these eyelash serum companies.

I won't name any names, except for not correctly, I just think it was a lawsuit or the FTC criticized one of these groups of serums released for not adequately disclosing the irritation risks of these latest serums and continued with people who developed really serious problems and if they are trying to improve health. of your eyelashes, you don't want to put things on your eyelashes that can irritate the skin around your eyelids because that irritation can lead to loss of eyelashes and breakage, so I don't recommend those you know prescription Matta procced, too known as Latisse can. and helps eyelash growth, but also carries risks of irritation.

The ice in your eyes can change color. I mean, a number of problems can arise just with prescription products that we actually know work, but in the cosmetics market you know the regulation is much looser in terms of side effects and to me it's more trouble than it's worth for the people more risks of irritation and problems there is no evidence to support that these latest cosmetic serums actually regrow eyelashes, so I don't buy them I don't use them. I would never use them if I had eyelash problems and I don't recommend using them. Yes, I don't like the latest serums, but I always get questions about what is a good eyelash serum. good last serum Milosh Serum The next thing you won't see me buying and it's a trendy ingredient or something to buy is facial oils squalene oil rosehip oil hemp seed oil CBD oil oil oil I don't buy oils for my face because I use a moisturizer and emollient moisturizers that do the same thing that oils soften the surface of the skin cells and create a soft, smooth feeling and you can retain a little bit of moisture.

I don't get caught up in different types of oils. or something like that, you know, skincare marketing will start telling you that certain oils are good for certain skin types and that they have these antioxidant compounds that will address pore size and soften all of this, it's fake nonsense when It's about putting oils. on the skin, you know say that, say that any type of oil, whether it's hemp seed oil or any of these other exotic oils, has benefits for the skin over mineral oil, I mean, try it, try it I haven't seen nothing. The studies on that don't stop skincare marketing from selling a lot of expensive oils to people, so I don't buy facial oils with oil in them, now I buy cleansing oils.

Cleansing oils are an oil with an emulsifier to help break down. things like waterproof sunscreen, using a cleansing oil is a more efficient way to remove things like sebum from cosmetics and waterproof sunscreen, in the case of waterproof sunscreen, especially that has been proven , so I use cleansing oils, but I don't buy facial oils for Leave it out. Another reason I don't like facial oils like I do now, especially vegetable oils, is that they are not pure substances, so they have different compounds that can oxidize when exposed to light and error. All of this degrades and becomes very irritating.

Many people's acne will be aggravated by some of these oils. It's hard to predict who it is, but the skin care markettries to trick you and tell you that certain oils are safe for acne and others are not. and that's like complete, it's like a completely made up story that they're telling you. I mean people with acne, your acne can be sensitive - these oils and it's not like one specific oil over another, so I don't waste my time on them. and now I'm not like a famine if you use a facial oil and you enjoy it, that's great if it doesn't cause you any problems, you like the way it looks, you know, I can understand why a lot of people, especially people who use makeup like that effect Moisturizer before they put on makeup right, like I don't necessarily have a problem with them, they can cause problems for people, but it's just a thing for me like why should I buy that I use a moisturizer?

He already does it. For me, I no longer buy product number nine. I used to buy a lot and the review on this channel is sheet masks. Nothing against sheet masks. I just reached a point where I found myself buying them and not using them. I am someone who has no attention span; I don't know what cloth masks are. They're just in a box and I don't use them, so I stopped buying them. them and I have no problem with sheet masks i.e. those that are fragrance free, they can help with skin hydration if you have particularly dry skin as they can help but they are never a permanent solution also, They were sending me a lot of masks and it just became my apartment, it became a house full of masks.

Yes, I got tired of them. I wasn't using them, so I stopped buying them and came back to you. Because? I don't buy handcuffs, it's not the best for the environment, these single use sheet masks, many sheet masks are loaded with nothing but irritating ingredients and fragrances, and other sheet masks may have ingredients that are actually good, but it's okay. Do you really want to use this ingredient? If so, you need to use it consistently, not in a one-time mask, kind of a deal, so I don't know, I stopped using them again. I don't have a problem with them.

I use those hydrogels under my eyes and mascara. I like making them, but you know, you can argue that they're just as wasteful and what's the point of that. For some reason I enjoy doing them, they are relaxing. for me and I prefer it that way, but with sheet masks I've gotten to the point where I don't enjoy making them and I guess because they ask for a hydrogel, I can multitask more easily with it, unlike the sheet mask. sheets that I use. I mean, maybe it's something as ridiculous as that, but yeah, I gave up on the Mouse blade and won't be buying them anymore.

The product number shade is something I would never have purchased in my entire life, will never purchase and I highly recommend you ladies do not purchase. and those are feminine washes, these are horrible, they alter the pH below and make you predisposed to things like yeast infections, bacterial infections and can cause a lot of irritation. This is what makes the female genital tract a self-cleaning device that you don't need. deodorize it, perfume it or something like that and it can cause a lot of problems using products like this, not only, like I said, does it alter the pH, make you more predisposed to fungal infections, bacterial infections, but these things can cause a lot of chronic irritation and I think where people have problems with this is when you use something like this for the first time, at least I guess because I've never used something like this.

I think when you use something like this for the first time it has a strong fragrance, so you think that as you. Are you somehow cleaner and then what ends up happening is that after a few days or whatever, problems start to arise with the product, the fragrance, the natural bacteria start to break down that fragrance and all that and it smells bad , it alters your pH, it causes irritation, that irritation and all that can cause smelly discharge and I think people then think it's time to use feminine wash with a feminine deodorant, they're so bad for you, they're so bad for that area .

No, you do not need to use any type of cleaning product, just water. I mean, it really isn't like that. I mean, it cleans itself like and in line with feminine washes, going back to the white ones I don't use. Many of these brands have trained in white and have scented wipes, so you run into the same problem I mentioned with facial wipes: you're leaving a residue, a preservative, and a fragrance that can now really cause. There are many problems so I don't recommend them and stay away from there, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no , no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no , no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not right, yes, they even got on the white train.

I mean, what's going on? I've noticed this as a side note, like it's something. it's something about the drugstore market where the whites are or where it's weird that a lot of them are more like indie fashion brands or Sephora stuff less than the white train, but it's like you're a skincare brand pharmacy and you had to have a white one. a requirement, how do they realize it? Cetaphil has wipes. Neutrogena has wipes. Sarah B has wipes. simple. It has wipes. Yes, they all have wipes. I mean, it's like, what are we cleaning, wash your face, stop cleaning it, yeah, no, a kid I can't handle. the white one, so those are ten products that I don't buy or use and if they are new here I have another video from a long time ago that talks about why I don't buy or use vitamin C serums and that is another product that you don't buy, so which is the eleventh, but yeah, if you're wondering why I didn't mention that, yeah, I don't buy it either, but you can watch that video if you want an explanation of why. but share in the comments below the things that you guys aren't buying, you know, in the current climate, unfortunately, people are struggling financially, so share what we don't need to buy.

Hopefully these are 10 things you can cross off your list and not buy either. save some money, but I hope you enjoyed this video, if you liked it, please like it, share it with your friends and as always, don't forget the sunscreen and subscribe. I'll talk to you tomorrow, bye.
