Because that's not what Rome is about. We should totally just stab Caesar Okay, so in this video, I'm going to break down three things three things one two and three One we're going to go through an overview of the Thiers brand who they are what they stand for all that fun stuff Etc. Etc. Etc. Number two, I'm going to be breaking down all the ingredients that are in this lovely bottle Well, not really in this lovely bottle because it's empty, but if you purchase a new one This should be what you should expect to get in the new one I'm going over the ingredients. Okay And then lastly we're gonna rub it all up with a cute little bow and it's just going to be you know my final thoughts on the brand and Yeah, if I would repurchase this Product or not, which is you know, essentially what you're here for so without further ado. Let's start with the Numero uno Great, so Thiers was actually created in like 1823 or some shit Literally crazy Zee how old to this brand is but it's like an American staple So essentially dr. Thyre was born I think in 1823. I think he graduated from Harvard in 1847 I'm saying I think like I didn't actually do the research. These are facts that I looked up So dr. There was really all about trying to find ways to extract medicine from Plants and use them and like modern medicine Modern in quote because you know, I don't know if the 1800s are modern Considering it's now 2020, but then you know modern medicine So he dedicated his entire career to really like finding the perfect way to create essences from like tea tree oils and Which hazel and all these different things he really believed in like, you know natural her verbal her verbal her verbal Medicine of Ruderick medicine. So he was a really just you know, just one guy trying to make Some medicine and he made he bought all these factories in which he did all the you know The labbing and the chemicals and the processing all that fun stuff himself you know, but then he died and His daughter was left with the business and she said Skincare bitch and That's how tires is really made. So when his daughter took over the business She really kind of focused on beauty products, which is where we kind of get into which hazel Which is their hero brand and is really found in all the products they made Honestly, because you know, her dad did perfect, you know that Process of getting, you know pure witch hazel and she just you know, she was like fuck that medicine I'm going to we're making skincare here. That's what we're doing. That's what I care about And you know, honestly more power to her she sounds like a boss-ass bitch. Um, so More things about tires. There's there's there's fire Um, yeah, so they make all of their stuff within the United States. So they are tried and true blue blood All American brand All of their which hazel which is actually a flower like I didn't realize that which hazel was a plant For a long time. Um, but yeah, so it's actually a flower They work with this local farm in like Connecticut to kind of source all their fresh which hazel directly to their factories in Boston So, yeah, it's very small very local if you're gonna get in the United States Like you should rest assured knowing that all of your ingredients were locally sourced and are certified organic So without further ado, let's hop into phase two of this video a breakdown of the ingredients So the first ingredient in this bad boy is water Which is honestly what we look for in all skill and care Brands, you know, if it's not water then I would want it to be like a natural oil based Uh, but this is actually purified water is going to be the first ingredient here. So you can rest assured that Your skin is safe And getting plenty of water and the second ingredient is glycerin which is a humectant And so that essentially just helps the water In your skin, you know meat Make love like this Not washing your hands even though you should be washing your hands a lot more because coronavirus Do that, please But yeah, so glycerin is just a humectant It really helps, you know, the skin to absorb the water it helps the water to really Stick into the skin. So that's a fantastic second ingredient to see I do want to highlight that this glycerin and this particular formulation is not certified or panic So that means it's likely a chemical that was just derived and like not naturally, you know found in a plant. Um If you're looking at labels, uh, vegetable glycerin which would certify or the term vegetable glycerin will mean It's like a natural glycerin found in the environment and if you just see glycerin that means it's probably You know kind of made in a lab and chemically beast Moving on so The third ingredient is their certified organic witch hazel which I mentioned earlier in the video is locally sourced from Connecticut on like a small family owned like farm, which is honestly so heartwarming and just so cute I love that they do that. Uh, so yeah, that's gonna be the third ingredient being the third It means it's you know going to be the third most potent ingredient and honestly, it's their hero item in their toner It's literally called dyer's witch hazel rose petal facial toner, so That's a hero ingredient that you will find and throughout their entire product line Whether it's a moisturizer sunscreen, what have you it's always going to have that witch hazel in it Uh, I do want to highlight here that witch hazel contains Naturally tannis, which is an ingredient that is known to kind of dry out the skin So this is really great if you have oily skin like me Because my skin gets really oily honey and it is not cute Especially when I'm wearing makeup and then add my makeup on and then suddenly it's just like Oil oil oil oil like and then my whole makeup just feels like a slip-and-slide on my face. I hate it Uh, but you know with this With that witch hazel and that ingredient tannis It really works to like cancel out like oil on your skin. It like just It sucks it up and it throws it out just spits it out. Oh wait, I forgot to mention So witch hazel actually does a lot of really great things and I'm just going to read them to you right now so witch hazel Release inflammation reduces irritation fights acne protects sun against skin damage and words off infection so Witch hazel is a really great ingredient to have and your natural skincare products Now we're moving on to ingredient number four So the fourth ingredient in this beautiful fantastic amazing witch hazel product is going to be aloe vera juice, which is One of my holy grails. I love aloe vera juice And so essentially what it does is it helps reduce inflammation And really just helps to calm and soothe the skin which is really amazing if you do suffer from acne Or you know, if you're like me your cat scratches your face because you're trying to give them a bath That happened, um, it can really help, you know, help help your face So I love having aloe vera and all of my ingredients is something I look for Um, so yeah, it's a really great natural ingredient. You can also kind of just buy it I Like grocery stores and stuff, but I also use aloe vera juice and my hair like I just it's so great I love it So the fifth ingredient So the fifth ingredient is going to be rose water, which is amazing It has a lot of natural properties and it's also helping it give that rose petal fragrance naturally because it's rose water Rose water has vayamins a b c d The meters And it also has vayamins b 3 so it's very great for the skin. Um, and a very good ingredient to have it's natural Number since is natural fragrance. So we don't really know what that means But I'm assuming and hoping fingers crossed. It's just rose essential oil Natural fragrance to give you that rosy that rosy Smell okay, and so now ingredients number eight number nine are very hard to pronounce. Um, the number eight I'm just gonna read it because I don't know how to do that. It's um Caper lila glycol, which is an alcohol. It's a natural alcohol found in nature Because it's natural. Okay, so it can be naturally derived from plants Animals and soy milk and coconut milk. So that's a good sign. Uh, thyrus does not specify which way they get their Glycol, so I don't really know how they're deriving it, but it's nice to know that it's a natural alcohol And that it can be found recurrent in nature. So it shouldn't be too abrasive on the skin Okay lord, please be with me as I try to pronounce this nice ingredient Glycol glycerin If you saw glycerin and thought you matched it Yay! You're learning! I'm learning. We're learning together! So glycerin is a humectant, which means it helps water stick to the skin. And you know, just absorb all of it. So this is a glycerin slash alcohol combo. The glycerin is derived from glycerin. And it kind of is pretty natural. It's super natural kind of. I don't really know how they get it to be that way, but it's from glycerin. Also, I think it's pretty fair to say that some studies, you know, down at the University of Paris, found this to be a mild irritant, so they do not recommend using it. But you know, no one's perfect. So the tenth ingredient is citric acid, which you know, if you're thinking lemons, if you're thinking oranges, if you're thinking limes, you are correct. Citric acid is really great for skin brightening. So if you have dark spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, things of that nature, citric acid is really great for this. A lot of people use just, you know, lemon juice and sugar and make like a homemade DIY sugar scrub, which I would highly recommend. But this product also has citric acid in it, so it's going to have some brightening properties as well, naturally, which is fantastic. So the last one is potassium hydroxide, which is not too, but anyway, on a serious note, Lyle used in small concentrations is used to help kind of balance the pH levels, you know, balance the pH levels of products. So essentially, it's just making sure that this is not too high of a pH level for your skin. Our skin is normally at like a 5.5, so they don't specify what pH level this is, but that's why the ingredients used in here are just to balance the pH of the product. So out of 11 ingredients, six, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding are organic ingredients. So my final thoughts here is that this is just amazing. One, it's great for your wallet, it's coming in at like $10, and honestly, I saw on Amazon and some other retailers for only $8. So I really think it's a huge, huge value for the price point, and it has so many natural, certified organic ingredients, I think it's simply a no-brainer. I do want to, you know, kind of address those asceticians and their thoughts on, you know, which hazel being a little too drying. Personally, if you have, personally for me, I have oily skin, so I don't mind if a product really dries me out. When I use this toner, I always follow up with my hydrating essence, so it really just really moisturize my skin, really hydrates my skin, and I do then, you know, follow a 10-step skincare routine regimen. So I am using serums and oils and moisturizers, so I never have an issue with my skin being too dry, but I do have an issue with my skin being too oily. So that is why I love this product and why I love what chasel has a toner overall. If you aren't doing, you know, an elaborate 10-step skincare routine, it's fine. Don't worry about it. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Just make sure you're following up with a moisturizer or a facial oil after using a toner, just to ensure that you're not drying out your skin too much. I know if you have oily skin, you think, you know, you can't put more oil on it, but you will be mistaken. Like, actually, when I started using oils in my skincare routine, it really helped balance out like the oily nature of my skin. I think it has to do with when your skin thinks it's like dry, it produces a whole shit ton of oils. It's like dry skin, oil. You're super dry. Oil, oil, oil, oil. But if you're putting oil on your skin, your skin's like, oh, this is nice. I'm moisturized. I don't need to produce so much oil. So it works for me and I hope it works for you too. I am definitely going to be repurchasing this product. Right now, I'm going through more toners and testing out other toners for you guys so I can leave reviews. But if you're looking for a nice, affordable toner, this is definitely one of my favorites. So thank you guys so much for watching. Make sure you subscribe.
