If you're slugging with this much Vaseline, you're doing it

wrong. You just need a pea-sized amount of Vaseline petroleum jelly.

You're supposed to actually put something on your skin, because the

Vaseline doesn't do the work. I feel like that was a bit of misinformation. Make

So this is one of Oprah's favorites. I'm going to put a little on your hand. How

No, gross. This is your fastest way to clear skin, especially if

you have hormonal acne. You're going to take about a half a cup of oats and

No problem with that, except that the oats have to be organic. But

if you do have acne, you know what's great for it? Welcome to The

Holistic Skin Guru, where what's on the surface is just as

important as what's underneath. I'm your host, Aamena. Let's

dive deep into the world of holistic skincare. Today

we're going to be reacting to some viral videos that we've seen on

99% of people don't know that if you have open pores, you have to use niacinamide. If

you have hyperpigmentation, you have to use glycolic acid. If

you have wrinkles, you have to use retinol. If you have acne or

clogged pores, you have to use salicylic acid or lactic acid. If

you have dark eye circles, you have to use creams with a caffeine solution. If

you have redness, you have to use azelaic acid. If you have dry skin,

you have to use ceramide cream. Let us know if you want to part two.

Thanks for watching and don't forget to follow us to unlock the best version of

Did you see how much Vaseline she put on her face? Oh my goodness.

Okay, first of all, you don't have to do any of these things. These

are just recommendations. They will work for some people and

they won't work for others. So Yes, a

lot of what she said will work for those conditions, but they're

not a must. You don't have to do these things. My recommendation is

go and see a therapist, assess your skin, see

what's going on in your skin, and then get a product

If you're slugging with this much Vaseline, you're doing it

wrong. You just need a pea-sized amount of Vaseline petroleum jelly.

You probably have some in your bathroom, and if you don't, just grab some. It

is so affordable. Looking for a simple way to keep your skin hydrated,

especially during winter? Slugging is the answer. About six months

ago, I was gonna buy pet snails because apparently if you put snails on

your face, it keeps your skin hydrated. Kind of gross, I know,

but I will literally do anything for glowing skin. Thank God Vaseline

makes slugging so much easier and you just go to sleep like

she didn't really explain what she was doing. Like

she just said, put Vaseline on your face, but she didn't explain, or

maybe she didn't do anything before that. I'm not sure, but you're supposed to actually

put something on your skin because the Vaseline doesn't do the

work. It's what you put on before the Vaseline that does

the work. The Vaseline just keeps the product in

place and intact. And yeah, so

I feel like that was a bit of misinformation. She didn't do a

very good job. And yeah, make sure you apply either

hyaluronic acid or something that's, you

know, active, that's, that's hydrating. That's

going to actually be beneficial to your skin and hydrate your skin and

then pop your Vaseline on top. That's the point of

slugging. And then the other thing is try not to use

Vaseline. It is petroleum jelly. It is a by-product

of petroleum, petrol. we can find

other things to use other than that. So

yeah, try maybe organic shea butter.

That's great. There's quite a number of things that you can use

Rapid fire, let's go. Starting off strong, we're always washing our hands before we're

doing anything with our face. We're not eating peanut butter. We're not eating anything that has

high omega sixes in it. It's gonna cause acne. We're not picking at our face.

We're not doing that. We're gonna cause more scarring. We're gonna spread that bacteria around. It's

gonna cause more acne. Why are we doing that? We're not. We're not doing that, right?

We're not letting our pets sleep in our bed. Fight me if you want to. I got

a baby too and I love him, but guess what? He don't get to sleep on the bed. We're not

eating high glycemic foods. We're eating whole foods. We're eating complex carbs. We're

eating good proteins, good fats, prebiotics, Probiotics. We're

also eating a lot of vitamin C and a lot of vitamin A. Your body will

thank you. Your skin will thank you. We're using single-use towels. Unless

you have specific towels for your face, preferably microfiber and

white so they can be bleached. We're changing our pillowcases regularly. Preferably

every day if you're having breakouts often. Same goes for body

acne and sheets. Hypochlorous acid spray. That is your

friend. Especially if you're gym girly, you're taking that with you. Spraying

Okay, so I love everything she said. She's

on the right path. These are the people you should be following on TikTok. She

knows her stuff. I couldn't fault anything that she

said, except that I still sleep

But yeah, other than that, go for it. This

is your sign to start using Greek yogurt as your natural face mask.

And not because Lori Harvey said so, but because Arika said so.

I've been using this for 10 years and this is what got me into natural skincare.

Yeah, she's right. Yogurt is full

of probiotics and probiotics are great for your skin.

I mean, we even have a probiotic lotion in our clinic and

So she's spot on. So this is one of Oprah's favorites.

She says it's a miracle fountain of youth

and her magic wrinkle cure. So I'm going to put a little on your hand.

I'll show you in a sec, Steve. So this is

Look, the wrinkles has just disappeared. I can't

You done sat up here and squirted somebody's

Oh my God, poor Steve Harvey. I

would have killed that woman if she did that to me. Gross. Who

wants that on your face? Ugh, I don't care if

Oprah likes it. Nah, there are so many other things you can do. I'd

rather put snail serum on my face than that. Yeah,

gross the best thing we learned about skincare and modeling school is this

mask right here this is your fastest way to clear skin especially if

you have hormonal acne active acne you're just looking for a way to

maintain your clear skin so you're gonna take about a half a cup of oats and

blend them i like to blend them to make it more of a gentle exfoliant and

then you're going to combine that with manuka honey however much you prefer

for the texture that you'd like on your face so the reason this is so good the

oats in here absorb excess oil from your skin excess oil

is what's in hormonal acne and a lot of breakouts on top of

that when you wash this off the oats will act as an exfoliant and gentle exfoliation

is always a great option in treating acne overall just treating the

skin to allow new skin to come through faster and then we know honey is our antibacterial

antifungal anti-inflammatory which is helping treat the current acne

on your face while preventing further breakouts this just has so many benefits

No problem with that, except that the oats have to be organic. That's

the first thing. Manuka honey, I would just put

that straight on my skin like I wouldn't even bother mixing it with anything else. But

if you do have acne, you know what's great for it? Grate a potato,

squeeze the water out of that potato and use

that water or that liquid that comes out of the potato. Put

that on your skin, brush it on with a mask brush and

allow it to dry. And when it's dry, start gently removing

it. It will exfoliate your skin. Your skin will brighten. It

will absorb the oil. It is an amazing mask. Try

that instead. All right, guys, if you want me to react to more
