00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Welcome to fit to be real and a little extra

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,700
Today we're talking skincare the do's and the don'ts to what is out there right now on the

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,240
Law of tiktok

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,020
All right, the law the law of the tiktok do's and don'ts is what we've kind of looked up

5
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:24,540
And we're not gonna lie to you. We don't really know anything about this. I know it was super exciting to research

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,880
This was a suggested episode by our Instagram survey

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,880
So if you ever see them we listen

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,120
We do and we're gonna get right into it

9
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,420
I'm Victoria. Hey guys, I'm Carly

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:49,920
Consistency is key. Hey listen, that is the name of our game consistency and routine in all things in all things

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,480
Including skincare. Wow. I just handed you that on a silver platter

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Okay, so

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Let's dive right in

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,840
We're going to just like usual put the links of everything we've researched in the show notes so that you can really dive in

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:15,400
Deep to more specifics of what we're gonna kind of rattle off and talk about today. Yeah, who doesn't love a deep dive

16
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,440
Yeah

17
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Tiktok apparently is like everything, you know, yes, and I I'm not I don't have tiktok

18
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,980
I do we have a business tiktok that I will scroll through

19
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:33,960
But no, we don't have personal tiktoks. I don't have a tiktok. I don't I don't have the time for it

20
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:39,520
I know it's time-consuming because you go through rabbit holes just like Instagram reels just like Facebook used to

21
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,720
Yeah, yeah, and you know what Facebook was like the end all be all and then I went to the the Instagram

22
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,240
Or I guess my space was first, right?

23
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Oh, yeah, my space and then Facebook and then Instagram and then I don't know because that's where I you tapped out

24
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,920
I I don't have snapchat. Yeah, I know I did for one day and I couldn't handle it

25
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,520
Mm-hmm because it was new and my and it's just not worth it to me. Yeah, take a talk. Yeah

26
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:09,600
I think it's all a little bit scary. That was just how I think tiktok is not something that I know how to navigate or that I am

27
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Too well versed in to be like, yeah, I see this on the tiktok all the time

28
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,040
First of all, I do recognize when I call it. I know I was just gonna say you know

29
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,720
You're not a tiktoker because you keep saying the tiktok

30
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,960
So I don't know why I do that but it is what it is so

31
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,360
seven tiktok

32
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,360
skincare hacks of

33
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Things that are actually a good thing to see on the tiktok stop saying the tiktok. I'm sorry lost all of our young people

34
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,840
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry on tiktok that dermatologists have basically said yes. These are good

35
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,840
These are okay just like anything else

36
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,440
People don't know what they're talking about and they put it out there and then people really get sucked into it and go

37
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,320
No, I have to do this because it's on tiktok and people have said it people are debunking tiktok as well

38
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,520
So these are the good things. These are the go-aheads. I don't know if I'm gonna say this right. Oh god

39
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,680
My cellular water. Yes. That's what it's called. Yeah, that's that's how you call it

40
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,760
My cellular water makeup cleanser is a go and it's basically just purified water

41
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:17,760
And it has like moisturizing stuff in it and like good ingredients, but it's water based not oil based a lot of these things are

42
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,200
just sort of

43
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,400
You know

44
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,400
Plain knowledge that for some reason are trending, but it's just basic information

45
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,240
That's what tiktok is. It's like basic information, but if it's trending then it's cool, right?

46
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
And that's just it's just purified water. Yeah, well when you call it my cellular

47
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,640
It seems like I'm missing out on something. I know that that's what I mean that that is the tiktok to a tee

48
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Yeah, you feel like you're no, thank you for saying that. Mm-hmm. Let's want to make you feel a part of it

49
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,440
But that's a go that's a good thing and then double cleansing and

50
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,680
It's basically just washing your face twice. Oh honest to goodness. I do that every night. Do you really? Yeah, I do

51
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240
I just want to make sure I got it all. Oh, wow. I'm too lazy for that

52
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,080
It's a cleansing balm or an oil first and then you do the water based cleanser

53
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,840
So then you would do the my cellular water makeup remover, but you would do a balm or an oil and if it's an oil

54
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,120
This is something I read

55
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,880
It doesn't mean you're adding more oil to your face. So if you're acne prone, that's not like a bad thing

56
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080
It just is a different

57
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,720
Soluble excuse me

58
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,400
It's just a different

59
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,960
soluble

60
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,000
soluble

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,680
No, say it again

62
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,360
Soluble

63
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,360
Now everything's wrong now. I can't hear it. Now. I don't know what to say

64
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,600
Based type of cleanser, but all things good. That was my that is my still to this day

65
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,600
biggest misconception because we have I have oily skin and

66
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,120
I always say oh, I can't have I can't put oil on it or I can't put moisturizer on it because it'll just make it more

67
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,680
oily

68
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,120
drugstore kit skincare products neither of us can talk today. I know are

69
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Great. Yeah, like people are you know go for the expensive brand only, you know, if it's not high quality and it's not expensive

70
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,160
It's not good. That's a that's a lie. That's a lie

71
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,920
You do not have to spend all of your money on your skincare products

72
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,520
Go to CVS. That'll you know Walgreens, whatever it is

73
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,600
syrupy set of Phil Neutrogena

74
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Verst which I don't know ELF. It's coming up. Yes. I remember when ELF came out and I was like, oh my gosh

75
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,160
I can get eyeliner for a dollar. I know I still get a lot of my makeup from ELF. It's good

76
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Yeah, and makeup primer and primer primer their primer is

77
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,280
Really good and a brand called Pixie, which I don't know but they're like the

78
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Drugstore go-tos of everything is good here. You can go here. Oh, yeah

79
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,280
Exfoliants with chemical peels which sounds frightening. Yeah, that that sounds like a no-go for me

80
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,880
I think of sex in the city. Oh my god

81
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,120
Yes, and her face is like completely red and bloody and she has to go to it like an event or a funeral or something

82
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,680
She wears a veil. Mm-hmm. That's what I think of when I think of chemical peel

83
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,900
But that's not that's not true. Yes, I don't think about that. No

84
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,440
you could do this chemical peel at home and

85
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Anything with exfoliating I used to have one with like little beads in it

86
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,880
Yeah, that's all good stuff, but it's to rid like dead skin cells and that's something I did know

87
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,200
But I didn't know anything about a ha's and b ha's

88
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Which you'll see on like the label label and it's alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acid

89
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,240
And they're naturally occurring acids

90
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,800
That we need and you can get them from I think they're two different things

91
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:46,360
So the a ha's you can get from like citruses and b ha's you can get from the bark of a willow tree

92
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Oh, yeah, you know when you go out and forage for that. Yeah, I did like daily. Yeah. Oh daily. Wow. You're intense

93
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,120
That's a lot. That's really good. So in any case, they're really good

94
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:03,320
a ha is do a little bit more for the dry skin and water soluble types and then b ha's or the oil

95
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:10,040
Soluables and they're for like the acne prone skin. Yeah, oh Jimmy. There's something called a vampire

96
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Exfoliator love it. Tell us it's 30% of an a ha and 2% of a bha and it's appeal

97
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Dive into the links for more on all of this, but it's you know

98
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Some skins need a little bit more of the a ha or should only use that and vice versa for the bha

99
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:36,280
So really you have to I would highly recommend going to a dermatologist for any and all of the skincare

100
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,920
Products or help for your specific skin type, but this type of chemical

101
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Exfoliation is a good thing. Yeah, and I don't think all of them are made equal

102
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,800
No, and everything's different for every face just like as in anything

103
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,160
D puffing with a Jade roller or gua sha

104
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,520
This is a new thing that I've been seeing. I have one you do it's not a roller

105
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,200
It's like a a Jade crystal

106
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,520
Like you could scrape your face with it. Oh, yeah, I mean, it's not harsh, right?

107
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,880
I have the roller you have the role and I keep it in the freezer. Yes. Yes

108
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,120
I didn't know that mine's in my cabinet doing nothing. Well, it lives in the freezer and it never comes out

109
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,800
So well, you know, neither one of us are actually doing what we're supposed to do, but I have one

110
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Yes, you're supposed to put it in the fridge and then you roll it onto your face and it reduces inflammation

111
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:32,520
And if you've got like chronic tired eye syndrome or just not everybody over the age of 30. Yeah, everybody

112
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,080
First of all, you could be eating too much salt. That is a

113
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,520
That is a reaction to that

114
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:44,560
But you put it on your skin and you roll it and it cools your face down and it deep puffs and it gets all the

115
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,880
anti-inflammatory, you know things that you see and

116
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:52,560
It's not a hundred percent proven. Right. This is not a hundred percent science based on

117
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,760
This particular one we're talking about, but I know it's like huge right now

118
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:06,280
I know and I've been seeing a lot of that on the reels that come up or the you know, what's it called the ads on Instagram

119
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Yeah, I don't know why maybe they'll come up more now that we're talking about it

120
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,440
My phone's close by but just like in anything that we talk about in this podcast. I have it all

121
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:22,880
I just got to put it into use. Yeah, that's so funny. I don't I am the drugstore only product because I don't you know

122
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Well, that's not true. It cosmetics is like my life. It is my life too. It is my life. I'm an it girl

123
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,920
Yeah, everybody should be an it girl. Yes, I T makeup

124
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,520
moisturizer

125
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,840
Cleanser cleanser. It's the best you name it so and that is a little bit on the pricier side from what you'll find at

126
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,680
TBS or Walgreens or whatever, but technically you can get it at Target now because they have a whole it's section

127
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:51,480
That's right. It's not any cheaper than from where we get it on the website or QVC

128
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,880
But you don't have to wait, but you don't have to wait. You can just go and get it

129
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,000
That that's awesome, but yeah, you can mix anything with these Jade rollers

130
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Like in your routine, I mean because it's really just the fridge and and your face

131
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:11,360
You just sit there watch TV and roll out your face and it's oh, yeah, I like that. That's a good system

132
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,960
So this next one is very similar. It's called icing your face

133
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:23,440
All right, I see shawl and it basically the only difference is that you're not using the Jade roller or whatever device you have for that

134
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,240
And it's ice cubes and you're just icing your face just putting ice and rolling it around in the morning on

135
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,200
Your face to get the redness and then puffiness and the swelling and all that stuff down without

136
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,120
The help of a you know a tool well

137
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,800
I used to use ice and just put them on my eyes after a night of like crying and

138
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,960
My you know, you know when we cry or we don't sleep our eyes gets super puffy

139
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,760
And and I would just put pieces of ice and hold them on my eye like when I was younger

140
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Yeah, she doesn't cry anymore. No cuz I have lost all feeling in my body the back episodes

141
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,680
But I did I used to put two pieces of ice on my eyes that you could do green tea bags as well

142
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:10,280
I wasn't that cool back then. I only had ice. She didn't cry very often

143
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,880
She would also then chew it after where she was a big ice churer

144
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,880
I was

145
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,880
All right, last one sunscreen

146
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:25,760
Sunscreen yeah, we whoo-hoo and totally are behind this but I do not do this on the daily

147
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,760
No, I don't I just don't do it

148
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:34,320
and I think I might now that I've done all this research because you're supposed to apply it on

149
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Before any of your

150
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:43,720
SPF moisturizers or like it cosmetics is has 50 SPF in everything right however, it's not enough

151
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:51,200
It's not enough. Yeah, I was just gonna say they suggest that you put on sunscreen before your foundation that already has SPF

152
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Yeah, the sun hours like the worst time of the day for our skin is 10 to 4

153
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,000
Yeah, and maybe we don't sit outside all day

154
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:07,360
So we're in a state that we have like seasons, so we're not outside. Let's not in California. What state are we in?

155
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,720
I I every day I ask that question now

156
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,480
I really don't know but just like sitting on the beach you're supposed to reapply every two hours

157
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,840
I guess not necessarily on top of your makeup, so you'd have to do a whole process. Yeah

158
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,440
But if you do all of these cleansing routines, maybe you don't have to wear all the makeup and you could just do all this

159
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,840
I think that's the whole point mineral based is better than the chemical stuff that we see on the shelves

160
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,120
So that's zinc base would be the mineral for sunscreen sunscreen. Yeah, I need to be better with that

161
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,320
I just went to the dermatologist for the first time in my life. What I know

162
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:47,540
37 I know I know that's why I was like and you want to know why I went I'll tell you why

163
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,200
Please well, I would hope so I saw something on tiktok

164
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Okay, and I was like, oh my gosh, I have that

165
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,320
So I have to go and the doctor was like where did you what what do you think you have and where did you see this?

166
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:11,480
And I was like, I think I have skin cancer under my nail and I saw it on tiktok and she was like I'll see you in October

167
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:18,600
You're good. So is is tiktok like the new web MD? I think it is and that's and I think the doctors know this and

168
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:25,220
That's why she immediately said where did you think that you saw this like where did you why do you think you have this?

169
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240
And I was like talk

170
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,360
She was like, please get out of my eye. I know

171
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,960
But I am going again for full body scan, but I definitely think I should have gone sooner than 37

172
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:41,480
Because I've been in the Sun my entire life without sunscreen. Yeah, I've been to the dermatologist before I'm surprised that you haven't

173
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680
Yeah, because I've been scared. I have so many moles. I'm scared of what they might say to me

174
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:51,840
Okay, so that is the opposite of what to do that is quite literally listen if you take nothing else from any of our episodes

175
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,760
Go to the doctor before there's an issue

176
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:02,640
I know I'm just I'm just here to tell you how not to live your life wrong so that you can better it

177
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Wow, the last thing I'm gonna say about sunscreen is what our parents have been saying

178
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Forever is that it's not just the sunny days. Yeah, it is all weather conditions rain

179
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,120
Overcast chili hot sunny bright. Do I need to list them all? No, great

180
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,360
Put sunscreen on it is super super important. Yeah, you do it to your kids. Why don't you do it to yourself?

181
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,320
That is like, you know, you're percent true. Look, I lather my kids up and I'm like, I'm good

182
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,120
I didn't really know a lot of that. I'm not gonna lie. I don't this isn't something that's not in our real house

183
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,120
I dove into as as a teen. I mean, I don't know if it's because we didn't have social media and and looks this up up

184
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:48,120
We were just kids. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know we didn't have something constantly telling us what we were doing

185
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:54,200
Something constantly telling us what we should do to look better be better feel better all the things

186
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,640
There's a trend going on in our podcast. We don't love social media

187
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,520
But definitely look on social media for all of our posts. Yes, please

188
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,560
let's look at five things to avoid when it comes to listening to tick tock and

189
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:14,360
influencers on what you showed and shouldn't do so this was dermatologist what recommended yeah not do to not do

190
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,120
Exploiting with abrasive brushes so apparently there's

191
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,640
Like battery powered tools out there that you can exploit with I have some you do not I do

192
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,360
Oh my gosh

193
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,320
there's like a barrier and a layer of skin at the you know all of this is cellular level you'll ruin it and

194
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,240
Then you need even more sunscreen. So don't use those tools

195
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,440
Just like anything else and we have spoken about this in

196
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:46,200
In fitness and weight loss related topics. There is nothing out there that will get rid of your acne in minutes in the snap of a finger

197
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,640
So anybody telling you that on tick tock is not

198
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:56,360
Being truthful. You just stole the one thing good addition I had to this podcast today

199
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,800
From the research links that I sent you you stole the one thing I wanted to say

200
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Well, everything's too good to be true if it's too good to be true

201
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,560
What would you like to add to it Carly just that

202
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,560
Armado is consistency is key and if you don't do all the right things

203
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,440
Consistently then nothing's gonna change just like your health just like your fitness

204
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:27,640
It takes about 12 weeks to see a result in any facet of life and skin care is no difference

205
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,680
It takes about 12 weeks for you to see if what you're using works for you or not

206
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,880
Yeah, and it might not work for you, but it it doesn't take two days. No, it takes weeks

207
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,160
No, don't do the quick and easy path because guess what it's only gonna make it harder

208
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:50,120
and you want to work and self-care yourself smarter not harder that was it for me great

209
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,120
So regular cleansing with Carly's consistency is key

210
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,920
anything that has um

211
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:04,360
Salicylic acid and I don't know if I'm saying that correctly either, but that is gonna help you with with acne prevention

212
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,640
Or just like managing I have had acne my entire life

213
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,000
Yeah, we both have and we've tried it everything on the market

214
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,080
It is just I think genetics because you've gone through pregnancies and apparently that changes your skin

215
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,760
You've still had it through all of that through all of it. I am just like a hot mess

216
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,400
So that I've always had for 34 years

217
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,760
But you want to know what has cleared up our skin

218
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:31,320
I know what you're gonna say our diet. Yeah our diet when we are eating on point and we are drinking the amount of water

219
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,400
That we need to drink our skin

220
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,120
It literally brightens from the inside out and that's what we tell all of our people

221
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:46,200
You know including weight loss or whatever you need a clean diet and you need to drink water and it will cleanse everything from the inside out

222
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,240
Yeah

223
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Ingredients that strip your skin. I don't know who's promoting that but that sounds horrible

224
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,160
So I don't think I would listen to them anyway. Yeah, but things that have witch hazel products

225
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,240
Which sounds like something Carly uses. Oh, well, I yeah, I use it after pregnancy, but yeah

226
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Oh, no way. Uh-huh basically has like alcohol and fragrances and stuff like that, but it's irritating and it's dehydrating

227
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,080
Why did you use it after pregnancy? Somebody told me to

228
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,800
Because no not for my face. Oh, yeah. Well, don't use it

229
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:18,920
Um, and then the last one this one grosses me out to even say extraction tools

230
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:26,440
I know or like poor vacuumers. I can't even talk about this, but you can all I wrote down from this is no

231
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,080
damage bleed

232
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,560
Broken capillaries gross. That's what I wrote down. I did have a blackhead

233
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:37,880
Vacuumer I think at one time mom gave it to us probably both of us

234
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,800
And I never really used it because it freaked me out, but I'm glad I didn't work

235
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,480
Yeah, probably not it doesn't but you know what does what clean diet?

236
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,480
I think I'm gonna use it

237
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:51,240
Lots of water she's smiling when she says it because

238
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,800
We're just gonna say it every episode because it applies

239
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,760
Okay, so there's even more things that are a no-no. So popping pimples with your bare hands

240
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:07,080
Which is like everyone does it. I do it. I make it worse. I think I'm gonna make things better

241
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,480
I know it's like a teenager thing that just you never grow out of because you just want to get rid of it and have it go away

242
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,640
And that is a lie that can't happen. But doing that could really

243
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:22,760
Actually build up more bacteria and create the infections and the redness and the inflammatory and then it lasts for like two to three weeks longer than it should

244
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,840
Just don't do that

245
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:30,840
This is something that I do and I actually have told people that I do when I'm like, oh, this is this is something I do

246
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,040
It might maybe it'll help you too. It says don't do it petroleum jelly as like a night mask

247
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,400
Yeah, you love that

248
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,160
Because it softens my face and then in the morning like if I do have those blemishes that I tried to pop

249
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:50,680
It it softens them. It's called slugging in the tiktok world. Oh my gosh. There's a there's a name for calling it slugging

250
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:57,000
And it basically clogs your pores more and creates more acne. Oh my god. So it's a cycle that I'm doing it myself

251
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,480
I mean, I'm not gonna do it anymore. Here's why I did that in the beginning. Anyway, I was on a merry-go-round

252
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,200
I will make this very short story and I flew off the merry-go-round and basically scraped

253
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,880
The entire side of my face off like skin was not there anymore

254
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,720
Carmella didn't feel like I needed to go to the hospital or the doctor

255
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:21,000
Uh, not too sure why probably insurance reasons and paying for it. So thank goodness petroleum jelly or vaseline

256
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,160
She just slathered that on my face until my face healed. I have one little scar, but that's it

257
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,680
And so I think of that and I've been doing it but slugging is a really bad thing for acne

258
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Don't do it. Yeah, I'm glad I never listened to you. I don't do that

259
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,520
DIY

260
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Injections injection. Yeah, I saw that I I didn't write much on it because just don't do that. That's insane

261
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,720
Why would you inject something when you're into yourself if you're not a doctor? Horrible

262
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:57,240
sunscreen highlighting I saw this holy moly. I didn't know this is a thing to me. It just seems like bad tan lines

263
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:04,200
I guess it's only putting it on parts that you want your face to be lighter. So like I'm I don't know how to really

264
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:11,320
Like your cheekbones above your eyebrows right down the middle of your forehead down your nose and under your lips on your chin

265
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:17,000
You're just burning the other parts of your face and then that part's gonna wrinkle and oh don't do that

266
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,400
It seems so silly it all seems silly

267
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,560
Toothpaste I know to spot treat which I've been doing forever

268
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,240
Yeah, it says keep the toothpaste for the tooth. I know because now they have those little spots

269
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:38,360
Like Justin Bieber has the little star patches that he wears and then there's the proactive ones or the panoxyl ones

270
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,240
That you just these little circles that you put overnight and so basically that's what

271
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Was supposed to be the toothpaste. It's meant for that. It's meant for that toothpaste is not

272
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,200
Those are all the don'ts

273
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:56,120
So the last thing that is a yay versus a nay is skin cycling

274
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,200
What's that?

275
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:04,040
And it's basically doing a different skincare routine throughout your week. I go ahead. It's a four day

276
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,560
cycle and the first day is like

277
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,800
Exploitation at night. So whatever that process is for you that feel safe and and recommended and healthy

278
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:18,360
Day two is retinol or a retinoid night

279
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,360
Um

280
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,840
And that is something it's like a

281
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Thing that increases your skin cell production and collagen firming. Yeah

282
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,760
So that wrinkles kind of go to the wayside and day three and four are recovery

283
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:38,600
So it's just cleansers and moisturizers and day five you restart. Yeah, it's a gym membership for your face

284
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,360
Like oh, it's a hundred percent a gym membership. Yeah

285
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:47,720
Yeah, but they say don't do that. No, they say do that. Oh, they say do that do that

286
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,760
It's the healthiest thing you can do for your skin. That's interesting

287
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,880
I just do a cleanser and a moisturizer every night. Like I don't do serums or toners

288
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:02,040
I have a link that's going to be in the show notes to break down what cleansers toners serums eye creams

289
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:08,440
Moisturizers and sunscreens are because there's so much information there. I don't have time to research all that

290
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:14,680
So click on that for the difference between the two because to me it's all the same thing. Well, yeah, it is and it's not

291
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,240
So they say you should start more

292
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,440
Moisturizing at like 21. You're not gonna want to know where I heard that information

293
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,520
You want to know on the tiktok? No watching

294
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Kardashians

295
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,840
I said you're not gonna want to know but they I said don't inject anything in your face

296
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,840
But they've been putting on moisturizer since they were 18

297
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,840
I mean, yeah, I mean it is

298
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:46,520
Why why would we not the skin is the biggest organ that we have and it should absolutely be protected and supported

299
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,400
I know forever and we worry about everything else and then we leave that at the end because at the end of the night

300
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,440
Honestly for me, I'm tired. Oh my god. I don't feel like I always take my makeup off every night

301
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,440
I can't go to bed without doing that

302
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,400
But it is I drag my feet. I'm like, oh my god. I gotta wash my face. Yeah, I know

303
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,200
I know I totally agree with you

304
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,960
The last thing and this is what was actually suggested in our

305
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:18,040
Instagram survey of what you would like to hear of and it's about collagen powder and we use vital proteins

306
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Not consistently. No, no, you should definitely be consistent. I'm out of it and I'm also yes, not consistent

307
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,400
So I'm you should definitely be consistent then

308
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:34,600
So it's the most abundant protein that we have in our bodies

309
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:41,400
It's for skin and like bone strength because it's the main component of all of our connective tissues. So ligaments tendons

310
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,600
Like skin

311
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,680
Muscles all that and there's 28 types, but just something I actually didn't know

312
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,640
We only really deal with like the four when it comes to powders and stuff and I'm not going to break all that down

313
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,760
but

314
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,440
You can get collagen from food. So bone broth

315
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,360
Chicken skin, which is also really bad for you because it's got fat in it. But that's where the collagen is in there

316
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:09,880
So I'm not promoting that pork skin same thing beef fish and vitamin C

317
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:16,680
But vitamin C it's just because it's crucial for like collagen production. It's not necessarily a collagen. Oh, okay

318
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,480
If that makes sense. No, that does make sense when it comes to supplements

319
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:27,400
It improves your skin health or has it can none of this is FDA regulated scientifically backed

320
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:34,760
Collagen is super helpful, but I do have to say it's not 100% like this

321
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,120
Particular article says it's not scientific back. So it's everything says may and good

322
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,520
So consult your doctor consult your doctor for sure or the fit to be real podcast

323
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,000
Yeah, same thing not the same not the same thing

324
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:53,320
Um and relieves joint pain, which

325
00:25:53,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Is huge. I'm 34. I feel it now. We're we're hard on our bodies hotter. Yeah, uh, I'm sorry. What did you say?

326
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,960
I was gonna say hard and they came up hot like I'm from Boston

327
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,920
hot and we're hot

328
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,320
And I was like, I can't bypass this. This is good. This is good stuff here

329
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,360
I sounded like I was in Boston Yards

330
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,560
What so you think you're pretty?

331
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,560
I think I'm hot

332
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,760
So yeah that joint pain

333
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,320
Um it maintains like the cartilage in your joints and as you age

334
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,720
That wears down it wears down it just does but if you're up on your collagen and you're actually

335
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:49,400
Moving your body and putting some impact impact on the joints is a good thing good. Yes, especially as you age

336
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,840
So when you add collagen to it, it helps with the joints

337
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,560
It helps with preventing bone loss, which is another thing that happens when you age right?

338
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,640
It just is fact unless

339
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:06,120
You are up on the up of all of this stuff, right boosts your muscle mass. So if you're trying to get gays

340
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,600
In your wad in your wad your workout of the day

341
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,400
collagen up

342
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,800
Um and then I did not know this

343
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:22,200
It promotes heart health. I did not know that either. Yeah, it reduces the risk of like heart conditions, which

344
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:30,600
Reducing is different than like it prevents but it that's wonderful. That's great hair nails gut health brain health

345
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,600
like it can prove your mood

346
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,600
and reduce your anxiety

347
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Carly and then weight loss because it just does a little bit of metabolism boosting and and could

348
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:47,560
And could could everybody is different, but it does say that it could be a big factor in that

349
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,400
so so with my

350
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:55,800
Vital proteins that I am one of those, you know bandwagoners that started back when it was like really popular

351
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,080
When it was becoming popular. I didn't stick with it long enough

352
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,360
I would do it like a week and be like, yeah, I had it in my coffee every day

353
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,480
And then I'd be like, oh, I forgot to do it today and then I'd fall off the wagon

354
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,520
I

355
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:13,800
Never used it consistently enough to notice if it worked or not. Honestly, I remember feeling a difference in my

356
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:19,640
Skin or just seeing a difference and I don't know if it was like, oh, I'm caring about myself

357
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,960
So I'm gonna be more proactive in other ways as well

358
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,160
So then overall everything was like on the up. Yeah

359
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,600
Or if it was the 100 just the powder like who knows so stick with it 12 weeks

360
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:38,200
The last thing I have written down is that turnover for collagen production and healthy collagen

361
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,760
In your, you know body

362
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,360
Is consistency

363
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:48,520
That's the last thing I wrote down from the from the article because it's 100 for anything in life in life

364
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:55,000
Just keep doing it and if the results aren't happening fast enough. You're not there yet. It doesn't mean it's not working

365
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,840
I know and I think

366
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Again, we're gonna say it again because tiktok and instagram

367
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,920
I think, you know, it doesn't happen overnight. Nothing happens overnight

368
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,680
It you have to stick with something in order to see results. Yeah, and that's in anything

369
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,480
Skincare collagen diet fitness anything, you know what I learned from this

370
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,200
So first of all, thank you for suggesting this gale. Thank you gale

371
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,240
Because this was pretty actually this was pretty awesome. What I learned is that we have been

372
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,120
just like weight and

373
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,200
Weight consciousness until it recently turned into health consciousness

374
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,320
We have been struggling with our skin for years. Oh since we were teenagers. We did the proactive

375
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,360
Oh, yeah, we did the oh my gosh. What's it? Uh, panoxel we did the

376
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,240
The benzoyl peroxide like basically stripping your face

377
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:54,120
Yes, and ruining all of our towels. Oh my gosh and our t-shirts because it gets on everything

378
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,480
Yeah, it bleaches them. So if it's bleaching your clothing, it's bleaching your face

379
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,560
But even just like the I can't think of the brand but it was an

380
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:10,280
A circular pad that you wiped it was like an astringent clear a soul. Oh my god. It burned or um,

381
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Clorox

382
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:20,840
Was not the clorox. It was nagsima. It was nagsima. Your face belongs to nagsima

383
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,080
Oh

384
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,640
Oh my gosh

385
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:29,480
I used to be so jealous of all of the people in the commercials that were splashing their face with water so happily

386
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,920
And not having these big red splotches all over their face

387
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,600
And I was like, I want to do that too and we have been doing this rips your face

388
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,360
Like we have ripped our face apart. Guess what's not on any of these lists

389
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,200
Any of those horrible products that we tried for their entire lives the expensive

390
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:52,600
Proactive is so expensive and on a subscription and is a seven part ritual

391
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,600
No

392
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,920
You don't have to do all of that stuff. It's the same with everything else go back to the basics

393
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,800
Literally go back to the basics

394
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,640
All right, we're getting right to the real tip and the real extra tip today

395
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,520
So the real tip is called cabinet habit

396
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,320
And it's basically what we all do and I know you do it too

397
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,520
Of just buying what you think is popular or what you've heard somebody else

398
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,960
It works for them

399
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,160
And then all of a sudden you look at your bathroom cabinet or wherever you store your products and there's such a build up

400
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,320
Of lotions and moisturizers and cleansers that you don't use

401
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,480
They're probably not open or maybe only used once or twice

402
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,080
And what's the point? So just like a kitchen sweep

403
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,440
It's a bathroom sweep go into your cabinet

404
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,560
Look at what you don't use look at what

405
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,920
We've listed off as a things to avoid

406
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,480
And clean it out

407
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,920
One of my clients francesca was like there's just such an over

408
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:01,320
Consumerism like I have so many products better. Why why do I have them or why are they being sold?

409
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,760
What is the point and it's true clean sweep get them out

410
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,040
You'll feel so much better afterwards and now for your real extra tip of the day

00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,800
It's called fix your face

412
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,120
What does fix your face mean a lot? I mean, I literally do it like this every single time

413
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,480
I'm an infomercial. What does fix your face mean? There's gotta be a better way

414
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,800
There's gotta be a better way

415
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,200
Fix your face means we want you to try the skin cycling

416

417
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,480
Write it down or Victoria had a great suggestion

00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:47,960
Put post-its on your bathroom mirror of what day is what day one you do this day two you do this and so on

00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,240
Try it for two weeks. Just try it for two weeks
