Hi everyone, I'm Claudia from Team Picky, a skincare app and skin-loving community.
We're focused on providing you the science behind your skincare, so that you can discover
what's best for your skin.
And on today's video, I'm going to be reacting to some TikTok skincare hacks from a compilation
I found on YouTube.
I have a lot to say about this.
First, I don't recommend you guys to use a natural aloe vera straight from the plant
to any part of your skin because inside that freshly cutout aloe plants, there are so many
phytochemicals that can probably damage your skin as well.
It is very different from the aloe vera extra that we probably saw in our end product cosmetics
because those aloe vera plants have been processed, they have eliminated all of the possibly irritating
phytochemicals inside the aloe vera.
Meanwhile, the freshly cut up aloe vera may contain all those phytochemicals that can
actually damage your skin.
So highly not recommended, please don't follow this hack.
So yeah, now let's move on to our next hack.
Wow, another DIY.
This time it's DIY rose water.
I'm actually not quite sure whether boiling the rose will actually kill of those antioxidant
rich ingredients that are present inside the flowers.
I honestly personally prefer already made and standardized, processed rose water rather
than picking our own roses outside.
I know it looks pretty when you boil it, you kind of get those thick and concentrated rose
water, but I'm very skeptical with DIY.
So I just want to remind you guys to do a patch test before you guys use your DIY skincare
regimen.
Make sure you guys are not allergic to any of the ingredients present inside of the extracts
you use from the natural plants or natural products from your kitchen, so please be careful
guys.
Don't follow all skincare hacks just as it is.
Trust me guys.
There are so many dangerous phytochemicals present in the nature already.
What we got in our end products in our skincare is already process extracts.
So we take all of the good stuff and remove all the bad stuff.
So we get all the benefits and less risk.
Meanwhile, from this DIY, we never know what is extracted.
Is it the good one?
Is it the bad one?
So please be careful.
So now let's move on to our next hack.
I don't have much to say about those hacks because I never tried any of those products
as well, so let's move on to our next hack.
Facial globes.
Interesting.
I actually had those a few years back because it was such a trend.
A lot of people do facials with those rounded globes.
Actually there's not much benefit from the globes themselves They just provide a cooling
sensation on your skin.
It will just help minimize any irritation or redness that you have on your skin.
So if you're on a tight budget, I don't think it is the best investment for you.
So yes, just invest on a good cleanser, a good moisturizer and a good sunscreen and
not that rounded fancy facial globes, but if you had that extra budget and you want
something that can help elevate your skincare routine, make it even more enjoyable, make
it even more cool for the summer, you guys can definitely get one of those.
So now let's move on to our next hack.
Well well well, that's a
very interesting hack and video.
Giving it like 15 - 20 minutes for it to come in contact with your skin can strip off your
skin natural sebum and break off your skin barrier.
So yes, it works for her, but it might not work for everyone else.
So please don't attempt this type of skincare hack if you are having sensitive skin, inflamed
or irritated skin, you're breaking out at the moment, please don't do it because it
can do more damage than good to your skin.
So now let's move on to our next hack.
Wow, that's a lot of skincare products, right?
A lot of Burt's Bees as well.
I have nothing to say about it, she's just mentioning her favorites.
Also don't forget to leave your reviews for your favorite skincare products on the Picky
app!
So now let's move on to our next skincare hack.
Wow.
Natural alternatives.
Another DIY.
Rice, okay, rice is nice, I don't have any objections towards rice extracts if you want
to apply it to your skin.
Another one is honey.
Honey is considered as one of the safe natural products you can directly use on your skin
as well.
Well for turmeric, actually I'm quite concerned it may leave some stains on your skin, so
please make sure you guys don't use too much of the turmeric.
I won't recommend to use the turmeric as a whole, maybe you guys can use just the honey
to make it more safe.
I think for the natural products that I can confidently recommend for your guys to use
are oatmeal and honey.
Those two natural products are considered safe to be used as a topical skincare product
directly out from your kitchen, but not the others like turmeric, garlic, lemons, whatsoever,
all of those other stuff.
Just use it for your salad or your food.
So let's move on to our next hack.
Nice makeup!
Ok, so that's actually a really great tip!
She talked about the Peeling Solution from The Ordinary, a very popular ingredient, a
lot of skincare reviews, a lot of reviews on the Picky app as well related to that product.
So yes, she gave a really nice hack.
Just use it for only a few minutes especially if you're new to the peeling solution.
And also don't forget to remoisturize your skin, give your skin some love after the peeling
solution, and always where your sunscreen.
And the rest, I don't think there are big issues with her skincare routine.
It's just funny how I look at her scrubbing with the elf that tastes bad, most exfoliators
actually taste pretty bad in my opinion.
So not meant to be licked or eaten, but you can just natural scrubbers like fine salt
or fine sugar to remove dead skin cells on your lips and make your lips look plump and
soft and smooth every single day.
Let's move on to our last hack!
Wow she has very beautiful lashes and brows - I'm in awe!
By the way, the product that she used, I'm not sure about what that is, let's take a
look back.
It's Jamaican black castor oil.
So it's a natural oil.
Again, always be careful with natural products.
Just make sure there are no essential oils because you're using it near your eye area
like your brows and eyelashes, just make sure it doesn't contain any essential oils that
can sensitize the eye area.
