 Hi friends really happy to be with you today I'm going to be talking about lies that cosmetic companies throw at us that we should be Aware of and this is a very light-hearted video you guys Please keep in mind that this isn't something that is meant to make you upset or get you going or anything like that You guys honestly, this was just something I was thinking about the other day I was thinking why in the world do we accept that as consumers and a lot of this video will be about Just keeping in mind these things because I as a consumer I can get sucked in to that thinking of these term and this terminology that I'm gonna put forward to you So I just wanted to kind of give you guys a heads up because I know that I have been Guilty of doing this so many times. They'll say these things and I'll go. Oh, I gotta have that I gotta have it right now And so I wanted to make sure that I said that beforehand Please know this is just kind of a light-hearted video and it's just meant as you know Let's just think about these things. So I hope that you do enjoy it Please give it a thumbs up everyone if you wouldn't mind. Thank you all for being here with me If you are new to the channel, thank you for stopping by and I hope that you do decide to please subscribe Okay, let's get into this Terminology or these lies that the cosmetics industry tells us. All right, the first one is this one This one kills me because it's poreless. I'm gonna do this every time you guys are gonna get sick of me going like This quotation poreless. Okay, this product can make you look poreless I know as I am aging my pores are tending to look bigger And that's because my skin is not as taut as it used to be and it's you know, kind of fallen a little bit so it's not got as nice of spring back to it as I used to and Seeing something that says poreless intrigues me immediately because I feel like my pores are big Especially on my chin my nose right there on my cheeks But here's the thing you guys Poreless is not something that we can achieve. First of all, we all have pores on our face, right? And the pores that we have right now are the pores that we're gonna have forever We can't do anything about the actual size of our pores Now I will tell you that there is a way to diminish the look of your pores And there is a way to kind of soften that if you're somebody that does have large pores It's a lot of times because you've had oily skin throughout your life when you produce oils the oils tend to mix with dead skin cells and dirt And they end up kind of depositing into those pores now for me Like I said, it's about aging as I get older My you know, my face has gone done a little bit of falling here And I noticed that my pores are bigger and that is because not because I have oily skin I actually have the opposite. I have very dry skin But it's because those pores tend to be accentuated now that my skin isn't so tight But what you can do if you do have oily skin and if you do have bigger pores Sometimes they can appear bigger because they are Congested or they're clogged with sebum and sebum is are the dirt or the oil and mixed with skin cells or Anything like that that gets in there and it really can't come out now There are several products that you can use you can use an AHA BHA whichever when you like lactic acid glycolic acid There's several other acids that you can use to actually do a peel on your skin And it's really going to help to get rid of all that excess skin cells and you know Sluff all those off, but it's gonna help refine those pores because it's going to clean them out Nice cinnamite is a fantastic one for doing that as well. It's really good So my suggestion is if you want to use one of those peels, I love the ordinaries Glycolic acid toner. I use that on a daily basis. I also love good molecules They have a nice cinnamite toner that I think is Primo and I actually noticed Really quickly that my pores looked diminished when I started to use the good molecules one So keep that in mind and then the ordinary has a really good AHA BHA chemical peel. That's awesome It's be it looks like beet juice actually or the beet red color It's really nice and that's what will happen is all that junk all that dirt oil all the grime The sebum will be pulled out of your pores And then they will look more refined because they're able to shut down a little bit without all of that in there So keep that in mind if you've been having trouble with looking at your pores and you're thinking They're too big you might just need to use something But don't get caught in this porous thing where they're talk telling you that a Primer or a powder or something or a foundation is going to make you look porous because it just isn't if your pores aren't cleaned out Enough already they kind of just deceive us because we're not going to ever not have pores everybody's got pores So we can't be porous. Okay. The other thing is there's another one about creaseless, okay? I have really bad really really bad creases because I smile a lot And so I have crow's feet. I have really deep crevices I know when I hear the word creaseless that the product itself is not going to do that that is going to be about application When I think of creaseless, it doesn't mean that my wrinkles are going to look diminished that I'm going to have You know, no more wrinkles down here Because what's going to happen is anytime I put a concealer on there if I don't do it a certain way It's going to get creasing through throughout the day, especially if it's a very hydrating product It's going to crease on me. If I don't set it down a little bit. It's going to crease on me So what I find is in order to not have any creasing in there or you know, keep it from creasing Down into my creases because I'm gonna have those I'm gonna have those wrinkles. I'm gonna have those fine lines I have to do it a specific way That's why I don't believe in anything being creaseless because I know that I'm gonna have creases under there Even after I do that whole routine. So it's gonna be like No way Okay, next one is just a personal pet peeve of mine because this is not necessarily Something that they're not working on as far as actually attacking the problem, but I'll tell you what it is it's anti-fatigue and I feel like anti-fatigue is a little bit of a misnomer because people that have under eye under eye bags and I do get under eye bags But people that have bags not dark circles under eye bags Actually, or they haven't gotten enough sleep their eyes are gonna look darker They're gonna have more puffy a more puffy face that kind of thing now a caffeine product will help with that but the reason that that kind of irritates me a little bit is because a caffeine product is also going to take the water out of my mature dry face and So I can't do that I can't use a cream or a primer or anything underneath my eyes that has caffeine in it because it's actually going to make me Look older. That's completely defeating the purpose So I just kind of stay away from those anti-fatigue products And I just try to get my sleep and honestly you guys if you're not getting your sleep and you're not being able to rejuvenate You're gonna look tired throughout the day. Anyway, it might do a quick fix But later on in the day, you're gonna have a problem with it anyway So I feel like that's kind of a one of those ones that you kind of have to walk a fine line with The other thing if you do have eye bags I'm gonna refer you to one of my videos that I found not long ago. That is about eye massage That is fantastic to help your eyes drain that water that can get clogged around them So if you do have eye bags or you feel like that's because you're not getting enough sleep you're fatigued You might try this massage It works great when you're are tired because it does bring the blood up to your eyes But it will help to uncongest this area right here around your eyes. It's so good It really truly is a really good one you guys. So that is one to look out for okay The next one is one that really gets me This one is really hard one for me and it's better than Botox you guys better than Botox How can they even say that? Let me tell you what Botox does Botox is Actually a product that will go into any of these creases around your Elevens around your eyes around your forehead. It's going to actually stop you from creasing Paralyzes these muscles so that you can't do that creasing anymore. You can't frown You can't lift your eyes like this. You can't really get that squinty right here on your eyes There is no other product that will do that honestly even the one that is called argyroline Now I've been doing some studies about argyroline. It does help to relax those muscles It does do that and if you get the right kind of argyroline It can penetrate but it can't go clear down into the muscles So honestly you guys it's gonna help relax. It's gonna help show it a little bit But it's not going to completely take that away So when you see something that says better than Botox it can't be because Botox is the actual Botulinum toxin it is toxin that goes in and it paralyzes all of that So there's no way that it can be and along with that one is my last one And this one was recently brought to my attention And it's actually the reason that I decided to do this video and it is called anti-aging now Okay, I know that anti-aging is something that we all think about and we want Oh, I want that because I'm getting older and I want to look as young as I possibly can for as long as I possibly can and I definitely want to do that and see if it works or not Okay, there are so many products on the market that are going to make your skin look better You're going to have a more radiant glow. That's youthful. You're going to refine your pores. That's youthful You're going to help slow the fine lines and the wrinkles. That's useful as well but you guys This lady that was is one of my subscribers now, and I hope you're listening because this is about you She brought forward the point that why do we continue to talk about anti-aging like it's a bad thing? Aging is not a bad thing. I am glad to be where I'm at number one I'm happy to be alive. That is a huge blessing that many people don't get today to be alive at 52 And I am looking forward to a much longer life from here on in the other thing is Aging is not a bad thing. The whole world has gone crazy especially the United States and gotten obsessed with keeping ourselves and making ourselves look as youthful as possible Don't get me wrong. I am one that wants to look younger as well But there is a point where you need to go I am who I am and just because I'm a certain age doesn't mean that I'm not beautiful and that I'm not worthwhile I did a video on this a little while ago that says I'm over 50 I'm not invisible and I feel like that we kind of get lost in the shuffle there But we can be our own worst enemy too as far as I don't look like her I can't do my eyes like she does. I can't you know, my skin doesn't look as good as hers does That's probably true, but we need to find ways to build ourselves up. We don't need to worry about aging We don't need anti-aging. We need to okay. This helps with signs of aging possibly Um, I think that aging needs to be celebrated a celebration of life. Look where I am at We have knowledge and wisdom that so many young people just don't have And we we know where we want our life to go at this point If you don't then maybe we need to do some introspection or something like that But we pretty much know who we are what we like about ourselves or and we have changed those things if we don't like them So definitely anti-aging is something that I didn't think about until I made this video until I was talking to this gal But we're not going to get away from it. I feel like just because somebody says anti-aging I'm not going to not watch their channel or not look at their product Maybe we can find a different terminology Let me know in the comment section you guys what we can think of for a different terminology besides anti-aging Maybe we could slow the process. I don't know what it could be But let's kind of bounce that around a little bit and see what happens. Thank you guys so much for being with me today I hope that you did enjoy this lighthearted video Like I said, it is not a video that is meant to attack anybody It's just one of those things that I was going, huh, I don't think that I like that term very much anymore So you guys have a great day week or weekend wherever you're at I hope that it's going well for you. Please stay safe. Stay sanitized. Stay hydrated. Stay well And I will catch you all in my very next video. Love you guys. Bye. Bye
