CREST STRIPS ARE BANNED IN THE UK. Meaning you can’t sell them in the UK. They aren’t illegal however. You can legally purchase them from America and legal own them in the UK. The reason they are banned is because the UK’s only allows a maximum of 6% hydrogen peroxide in whitening strips where as the US allows 10% (found in crest whitening strips). Sounds scary but when you consider South Korea ban salacylic acid (opting for Betaine salicylate instead) and Azelaic Acid,whilst we happily use them in higher percentages and America ban pressed pigments around they eyes, whilst the rest of Europe can call them eyeshadows, the Crest strip ban doesn’t worry me personally. It’s all about proper usage

@TaylorVonStrasser2 жыл бұрын
Fellow RDH replying to questions below. It doesn't damage the enamel. If someone used it more than recommend it could because it is acidic (that could cause the enamel to erode, the same way eating lemons, soft drinks, jalapenos, etc can). The actual dangers of teeth whitening are when it is done incorrectly or too aggressively. There are tiny pores in the enamel and that's where the stain from food/drinks reside. The whitening goes into the pores and clears them out. If done aggressively or if your teeth are just more sensitive, this new open space can cause sensitivity to the tooth. If you keep doing it even though you have a lot of discomfort, you can cause the nerve to get irritated. It potentially could die if aggravated too much. As long as your body is responding well there is really no concern.

I do typically wash my face (do my PM routine) about an hour or two before bed -- solely because I like to give time for the products and ingredients to absorb before putting head to pillow. Especially on days that I use squalane products or rich moisturizers. It seems like such a waste, otherwise. And, also, I've heard many dermatologists say they only splash water on their faces in the morning. I think that's fine and all if the PM routine from the night before was minimal.... Otherwise, probably best to gently cleanse away product build-up.... And dirt and grime from sleeping. Which is what I do.... Just a quick 30 second gentle wash using my CeraVe.

Hi James, I love your videos they are so relaxing! Especially the series about the beauty turning ugly. I just wanted to request that you review or try Primark Beauty’s skincare range. They have quite an expanded range and mine sells items such as Niacinimide and a variety of serums, cleansers ect. It’s very affordable but I always wanted to know the quality of the ingredient and if this is compromised for the price. Take care ❤️

as someone who has dealt with cystic acne for around 5 years now, i’ve got a pretty good routine going. what works for me might not work for you but i only really wash my face at night and do my skincare at night. i have a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash my dermatologist gave me and also a 2% clindamyacin gel. i wash my face, put the gel on problem areas, and then use the cera ve daily moisturizer. after i wash my face i wait a couple minutes and then put on the gel, then i brush and floss my teeth as that is soaking in and then i put on moisturizer. i find that if i wash my face twice a day it gets really irritated and dry bc of the face wash and splashing my face with water in the morning is just rinsing off the topical i put on the night before.

I used baking soda and water when I was in middle school and part of high school. It was really high humidity there and I have oily skin, so it actually helped my breaks out. You have to heavily dilute it though and not scrub it on. Again, I'm just one person and don't do that anymore now that I live somewhere with less humidity. Always be careful when doing anything DIY folks

I'm honestly so thankful my skin has always been sensitive and dry. For most of my life my skincare routine was washing with water and moisturizing with fragrance free, sensitive skin lubriderm. My mom still swears by those clinique alcohol 'toners', but those burned my skin so badly the couple times I used them that I just kept layering on lotion and hoping my skin problems would just sort themselves out on their own someday!

Just one thing: even if your skin is "oily", you might benefit from not using a cleanser AM. Case study: i got oily skin well after my teenage years, but didn't matter my religious twice a day cleansing habit, it did not stop. I switched to a mild cleanser once a day, and somehow the grease disappeared. (And i started exfoliating, as well as using a loooot of hydrating toners/essences before a cream)

@@Tazzie1312 maybe, or maybe my skin just changed because of hormones or something. It was weird tho, because even tho my face got oilier, the solution was to cleanse less, and hydrate more, which sounds backwards to me.

@@sther9608 no, your skin just changed because of age. Oily skin isn't resolved by cleansing less and scrubbing more. That's the whole point of oily skin! There is an intrinsic overproduction of oil. Dr Paul Jerrod Frank even mentioned this on a Derm Reacts video online. Never make assumptions based on incidents on a single person especially if you don't understand science, skin physiology, and especially research. Not knowing how cause and effect is affected by confounding factors is why these people on tiktok make idiotic claims.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the last bit of advice! I agree with the Tik Tok'er, instead. When I was using The Ordinary:s squalane on my face every night before bed, not as an occlusive as I applied before moisturizer, I had the best and most flawless skin I've ever had.... And it helped greatly strengthen my moisture barrier. Whereas before, my skin was severely fragile, depleted, sensitive, and dull. Not to mention dry, angry, rough, and congested. This prepared my skin for the treatments and chemical exfoliants that I eventually incorporated into my routine, after spending a good 3 months with just a basic, yet hydrating and moisturizing routine..... So by the time I started using direct acids and other actives, my skin was primed and ready to receive them. This practise gave me the best skin I've ever had, and all without any redness, irritation, or even dryness..... And this is my single biggest tip to people just starting to take care of their face skin. Get your moisture barrier sorted out before you start using actives and acids... As nobody can expect to achieve a healthy complexion if their barrier has been disrupted. Best and easiest way to achieve this, a light, noncomedogenic oil, like jojoba or squalane, plus a rich moisturizer, or gel-cream for oily-skin-peeps. Do that first and tell me your skin doesn't drastically improve..... Even without the treatments and exfoliants. But note: this isn't about slugging.... especially with Vaseline (yuck!).... and expensive Biossance or Drunk Elephants oils are not necessary. The Ordinary has a whole whack of oils for less than $10 each.
