- Hello. Hi everyone.
And welcome to skin-care with Hyram.
If you don't know who I am,
my name's Hyram
and I'm passionate about
teaching you how to perfect
your skin-care routine.
So make sure you subscribe to my channel
and to the notification bell
so that you can see my
videos every single week.
So I don't know how I
feel about this shirt.
'Cause I mean, from
full-scale it looks ...
I mean, I think ...
I don't know. I think it looks cute,
but then when it's close
up right here, it's weird
because I can either have the collar up,
which makes me look like a pastor.
Bless you, my child.
(choral music)
(laughs loudly)
Oh Lord. I'd be sent to hell so fast.
Or open up like sexy time.
(jazzy music)
(laughs seductively)
(laughs loudly)
Not at all.
Anyway, in today's video,
I'm going to be doing a reaction video
to Madison Beer's skin-care routine.
Now, this one has been
very requested by you guys
and I'll be 100% percent honest,
I don't know much about Madison Beer.
I know who she is.
I don't know much about her
except that she's singing songs
and she's really pretty.
(laughs loudly)
That's about it.
I also know people like to comment
on her physical appearance,
which we're not gonna do that to women
here on this channel,
I'm here to roast skin-care routines only.
But in pictures I have seen of her,
she seems to have
really, really nice skin.
It looks very beautiful.
So I'm interested to see what
her routine is going to be.
And it wasn't like a fancy
Vogue or Harper's Bazarre.
I think she just did that on
her IG Story or an IG Live
or something like that.
And I'm really interested
to see what her routine is
because I would consider her
to know a good deal about skin-care
because I mean, her skin
is (beep) gorgeous, maybe.
But then again,
genetics play a big part in skin-care.
Just 'cause someone has nice skin
doesn't mean they take
good care of their skin.
Hyram 2020. Vote for me.
(patriotic music)
(laughs loudly)
No, please do not vote
for me for anything, ever.
So without further ado,
let's get into the video.
If you don't know me, I
am a skin-care specialist.
However, I'm not a licensed
aesthetician or a dermatologist,
nor do I ever, ever claim
to be or know more than
either of them.
If you are seeing any
struggles in your skin
or anything that you're
wanting to take care of
that you're really concerned about,
please go see your
aesthetician or dermatologist
to get that shit treated.
My videos are meant to be
for fun and information sake,
but not as any diagnoses or
any professional information.
Please go to a professional
to get that kind of help
because me, through a computer screen,
honey that's not gonna work.
Okay Madison.
I'm sorry to disappoint you
because I'm coming to this video
to learn more about Madison
because to be completely honest,
I don't know anything about her.
But then again, what's new?
You could have an Academy
Award winning actress
doing their skin-care routine
and I would have no idea who they are.
My knowledge of celebrities
is right at about zilch.
- Y'all want a skin care routine?
- Yes. Yes, we do.
(laughs softly)
- I'm really just going all out.
This isn't gonna be a
legit skin-care routine
because I'm going to get in
the shower right after this
because I'm a disgusting
animal who doesn't wash my hair
for five days.
So I usually take my
makeup off in the bath
'cause I just enjoy --
- Oh.
- Being like able to --
- Why don't she takes a bath in there?
I never take baths.
- I do have LED lights
in your bathroom.
Yeah, I have them
everywhere else.
- Yeah, those are pretty cool.
I was looking at those.
- 'Cause I'm a fucking Tik Toker.
(laughs softly)
- Okay.
So me not even knowing where to start
when I'm not in the bathtub.
(laughs softly)
- That's interesting that
she likes to take a bath.
I mean, I'll be honest
myself, I hate baths.
I think the concept of
them is just so weird.
"Yes, let me sit in a
puddle of my own dirt."
And then there's the thing
that when I'm taking a hot bath
and I'm like sweating down my face
and I feel really nasty and hot
and then people have told me,
"Well Hyram, you're supposed
to shower beforehand
"to get all the dirt off
"and then shower afterwards
to get any sweat off."
And I'm like, that's a lot of water waste.
That is a lot of water waste.
Wouldn't it suffice to
just with the shower?
I would just rather do a
shower, in and out, done.
But then again, I'm not the
type of person that's like,
"Let me sit in one space
for 30 minutes straight
"without moving and call it enjoyable."
That's not me. I move too much.
My hands need to be playing.
I need to have my mind
stimulated in some way.
So I don't know. I
don't really like baths,
but I think taking your makeup
off in the bath is fine.
What I do a lot of times before
I go into a nighttime shower
is that I'll take my cleansing
oil or cleansing balm,
I'll wipe it all across my face
and when I hop in the shower,
I'll just rinse and then
use a cleanser in the shower
to cleanse the rest of my face.
It works great.
It's a lot more enjoyable in my opinion
than having to do it at the sink.
But then again, I feel
like it'd be a little weird
to have a cleansing balm on
and then trying to splash
the water from the bathtub
into your face.
I don't know, not my type of shabaho.
- Tips that I can give you-all
(sighs loudly)
- No Madison. Why?
- These makeup remover wipes
over the blue ones ...
- I don't know the
difference, to be honest.
- These over the blue ones are
so much better for your skin.
I used to use the blue ones only
and I switched over to these
and they are way better
'cause they're calmer.
(laughs loudly)
- Ma'am, I do beg to differ.
All makeup wipes are bad, yeah.
Hiram 2020. Vote for me.
(patriotic music)
(laughs loudly)
I think it's funny that so many companies
like to make themselves almost seem better
than other makeup wipe companies
to where they'd be like,
"We're not like other makeup
wipes that aren't biodegradable
"because we're biodegradable."
or "We're not like other makeup wipes
"because we're fragrance free." et cetera.
And I'm like, "You're all part
of the same major problem."
First, that the action of using
a makeup wipe on your face
is very tough and pulls and tugs
and can overly irritate
and sensitize the skin.
And number two, you're
still creating daily waste
no matter what.
Lots of things are
technically biodegradable,
but that doesn't mean
that they're waste free.
And even if they are biodegradable,
they can still end up in landfills,
they can still end up in the ocean,
they can still end up in pipelines
and still take years to break down.
And I just don't think
all of this is necessary
when we have an option
like a cleansing balm
or a cleansing oil
or my Micellar water with
reusable cotton rounds,
all of which are going to be
better for the skin as well.
Even in one of James Welsh's videos
that he was talking about,
he mentions how there's
retinal makeup wipes.
I'm like, "You're trying to
mask over the same bullshit."
If you are someone who's
like, "Holy shit Hyram.
"I had no idea that
makeup wipes were so bad."
Let me provide you with some alternatives.
For a basic drug store one,
the Neutrogena Cleansing Balm is awesome
because it's polyethylene free.
Polyethylene is a form of plastic
that we find in most objects around us
that they usually put in cleansing balms
that ends up going down the
drain into the water supply
or into the ocean,
which can negatively
affect marine wildlife.
So I usually just recommend avoiding it.
And this one's a really
good cheap one to do that
or if you want my personal
favorite cleansing balm
I've used so far,
the Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm.
This is like taking mango frosting
and smothering it all over your face.
It feels amazing.
It smells amazing.
And I'm okay with the smell
because it is a wash-off treatment.
You're not leaving it on
your face for a long time.
And this has so many
really good hydrating oils.
So either of these two are
really good alternatives,
or if you want a cleansing oil,
the Purito From Green Cleansing Oil
is a great one for multiple skin types
that just does what it's supposed to do,
remove the makeup from the face.
Or if you want another option,
the BioDerma Sensibo
Micellar Cleansing Water
with a reusable cotton pad.
Also amazing for getting
rid of makeup on the face.
So I just gave you four
options instead of makeup wipes
to go with.
Y'all have no excuses, bitch.
- I woke up this morning the
most swollen I've ever been
in my life with my eyes were swollen shut.
and I think it's because
I had salt yesterday
even though I didn't
really have salt yesterday.
- Oh wow, that's intense.
- I think it has to have been.
- Or maybe it's from the makeup wipe?
No, I'm kidding,
(laughs loudly)
I won't be shady.
- Honestly hate those wipes.
Don't hate me.
No, I hated them too,
but the purple ones are way better.
I really don't like the blue ones.
The blue ones were like
aggressive in my bandana.
- Oh, see.
(laughs loudly)
I'm sorry.
I'm not making fun of Madison at all
because at one point,
I didn't know anything about skin-care,
but it's funny when
she was like, "Oh yeah.
"The other wives are just
really aggressive as she's like
(upbeat music)
"across her face."
and I'm like, "Oh girl.
"Maybe that has something
to do with the swelling?"
But I'm just teasing, I'm
not trying to be mean.
But that is one concerning thing
about re-using makeup
wipes really frequently
is that that intense
tugging can actually lead
to a lot of inflammatory
responses from the skin,
puffiness, swelling and
increased aging over time.
So again, that's why it's just better
to use the other alternative products
that I mentioned.
Oh, by the way, all the
products that I'm talking about
in today's video
are linked in the description box below.
If you do feel like
purchasing any of them,
feel free to shop those links
because I make a small commission
that helps to support me and my channel,
but no pressure whatsoever.
They're just there if you
just wanna go shopping,
wanting to check things out.
Not a big deal.
- My skin's gotten way better you guys.
I'm very happy,
- Oh good.
- But it's definitely just
to do with the fact that
I'm not on my period right now.
- Oh.
- The first half of months
are always good for me,
but the second half is always bad.
'cause that's when I get my period.
- Wow. She's really going in.
- It's called Strike Heal.
I literally found it on a random website,
but it's been working for my booty.
So does anyone else
make the weirdest faces?
- Oh my gosh. Okay.
Sorry. She's going in really rough.
If you are gonna use a makeup wipe,
let me teach you one thing real quick.
I think a lot of people don't realize this
about taking off eye makeup.
When it comes to eye makeup,
there's usually a lot of layers,
which makes it the most difficult
to get off of your face,
but the eye is the most
sensitive area of the face,
which means you'll see
the most inflammation,
the most redness, the most swelling
from tugging and pulling up that area.
So if you are going to use a makeup wipe
or if you are using a cotton round,
just take them on these fingers,
gently place them on the eyes
and hold them there for 30 seconds.
What this is going to
do is help the formula
just to be able to be
dispersed onto the skin
and help to dissolve away the
makeup before you wipe away.
This is gonna make it so much easier
to actually remove the makeup
without having to pull and tug a lot
and it's a lifesaver in terms
of reducing inflammation.
What she's doing right now,
that tugging back and
forth really intensely,
would really be avoided if she just were
to place those makeup wipes on her eyes
and leave them there for a good 30 seconds
for the formula to dissolve the makeup.
- Any eyebrow tips?
No, I have super big eyebrows
so I have to always keep them tame.
I don't know what you
mean by that eyebrow tips.
- Yeah, she has beautiful eyebrows.
- Waxing tips or what kind of tips?
So I really liked this cleanser.
- Oh, okay.
- Also, surprisingly,
people really talk shit
about Mario Badescu
- Oh, no.
- Even though I know why
'cause I have always liked Mario Badescu.
This one
(laughs loudly)
is actually really good too.
- It's so funny she says
people always talk shit
about Mario Badescu
and I'm like, "It was me."
No, for real.
I mean, I'm just not
a fan of Mario Badescu
because I don't feel like
the formulas are really
equivalent to the price
that they're charging
and when I look at their ingredient list,
I'm just like, "I have
yet to find something
"that actually makes me be like,
"wow, innovative, creative,
new, unique non-sensitizing."
It's basically a lot of
fragrance ingredients.
And given their controversial past,
I'm like,
(cries softly)
"I'm not the biggest
fan of Mario Badescu."
But they do have a products
from the brand that are good.
Their drying lotion, I think, is great.
I don't know which specific
cleanser she was using.
I think it was a cucumber one,
but I couldn't tell to be certain,
but I will just say most of the
products from Mario Badescu,
I'm not a fan of.
That Kiehls one, however,
I have talked about for it
in my video about Kiehl's.
If you guys wanna watch
it, "Truth About Kiehls",
it's in the description box below.
I talk about the blue line from them,
which is actually their
acne prevention line.
Most of the products from that line,
I don't like because they have
a high concentration of denatured alcohol,
which is yes, going to look
nice when you first use it
especially if you have oily skin
because your skin's gonna be matte,
it's gonna look even,
it's gonna look beautiful,
but over time it can strip your skin
and lead to moisture barrier issues.
What? I don't remember exactly
what is in this product.
Let me take a look.
Okay. So it's the Blue Herbal
Blemish Cleanser Treatment.
So this is formulated
with 1.5% salycilic acid,
which I love.
Anyone who has oily or acne-prone skin,
salycilic acid is gonna
be your hero ingredient.
Trust me on this.
You really should try it
because it's great for
going deep into the pores
and pushing out all the dead
skin cells that have built up,
all the excess oil and dirt.
And 1.5% is a pretty good
concentration for a cleanser,
I will say.
It has really gentle cleansing agents
that aren't gonna strip the skin.
Which is good 'cause salycilic acid
can be drying to the skin.
It has glycerin.
It has some other good
ingredients in there like ginger.
Pretty low on the ingredient list.
It does have a menthol,
which I'm not crazy about,
but again, it's in a wash-off treatment.
It's not going to overly
sensitize your face.
So I don't think this cleanser is too bad.
Was it a cleanser that I
would go out of my way to buy?
Definitely not.
I think it's just a fine cleanser,
but I don't necessarily have
anything bad to say about it.
I definitely think in terms of experience
and wanting to see results though,
this is way better than
the Mario Badescu one
because I don't know.
I just don't think Mario Badescu
is that great for the skin.
- I'll wash my face.
(water gushes)
- How old is she?
She looks so young.
But I have to say her ears are so cute.
She has the cutest years ever.
- Wait, why is everyone saying
Mario Badescu is so bad?
People love to talk shit,
but this cleanser's
(laughs loudly)
worked for me.
I have really bad skin usually
and I've been using this cleanser
and it's been working for me, okay?
So stop.
- See, that's awesome.
She touches on something
that I wanna touch on.
When it comes to skin-care,
I have very high standards of
what I look for in a product.
That doesn't mean
everyone else should have
my exact same opinions
as me for skin-care.
Everyone should have their own opinions.
I think that's the beauty
of the skin-care world.
And if someone were to
come out to me and say,
"Hey Hiram, I know you
don't like this product.
"It has a lot of fragrance.
"It has irritants, et cetera,
"but it's literally changed my life.
"It's the reason why my
skin stopped breaking out.
"I love it so much.
"This is an amazing product for me."
I'm not gonna be like, "No,
"you still need to get rid of that."
Unless it has like severely
irritating ingredients,
99% of the time I'm gonna be
like, "Yeah, stick with that.
"Stay with that product.
"It's obviously working great for you."
Who am I to say you
need to stop using that
because it doesn't fall in line
with my personal opinions on skin-care?
My goal here is to give
people some direction
in deciding what skin-care products to buy
because most people,
when they first start
into the skin-care world,
they have no idea what to try,
they don't know anything about ingredients
and I try to be that helpful resource.
But if you've already found a product
that works amazingly for your skin
and it's changed your life,
by all means, stay with that product.
It's the amazing thing
about the skin-care world,
where we all get to have our own opinion.
So please don't attack anyone
over their skin-care
opinions, Madison included.
(water gushes)
- Okay. And then I use
a toner, Witch Hazel.
I just wipe the whole thing down.
- Oh, she uses it with
a towel, interesting.
- the whole thing down.
(sighs loudly)
- Yes, the Witch Hazel.
The ever popular Witch
Hazel that for some reason,
people love to post about on Tik Tok.
I'm personally confused
why it's so popular.
Witch Hazel is really popular
specifically among
people who have oily skin
or who are teenagers because again,
it's very similar to that
ingredient, denatured alcohol,
like I was talking about before,
because it will rapidly
dissolve the excess oil
on the surface of your skin,
which makes your skin look matte,
it makes it look even and clean.
It's very satisfying.
But the thing with Witch Hazel is that
it is formulated with denatured alcohol
and Witch Hazel in nature is a little bit
more stripping to the skin as is.
When Witch Hazel's formulated
in a skin-care product,
I don't have too big of an issue with it
because it's usually formulated
alongside other hydrating ingredients
to compensate for loss of moisture,
but it's when it's just a
Witch Hazel Toner by itself,
usually the concentration
of alcohol is pretty high
and that's just going to
overly strip your skin.
And I know that a lot of
teenagers tend to struggle
with a lot of excess oil
and sebum on the skin,
but in my opinion,
usually teenagers are pounding their skin
with too many products
that are overly stripping their skin
and making their acne even worse.
It's much better to go in
with a skin-care routine
to help to repair the moisture barrier,
to get rid of that acne
or to get rid of those pimples
or to use ingredients like niacinamide
to help control the oiliness.
Which speaking of niacinamide,
if you're looking for a
product with niacinamide
that isn't the ordinary
because yes, the ordinary is
sold out all the freaking time.
That's why I took it off my shelf.
(laughs loudly)
It's just sold out 24/7 now.
The Inkey List Niacinamide Serum is good.
It's a little bit more
hydrating than the ordinary one,
but you're still getting
a high concentration
of that ingredient, niacinamide
and what niacinamide is gonna help to do
is reduce the oiliness
and sebum on the face
so that you're not gonna
be looking as greasy
throughout the day.
So just using an ingredient like that
or a salycilic acid treatment
instead of using Witch Hazel,
in my opinion, is gonna
be way more effective
and deliver a lot better results
than just using a Witch Hazel product.
- So then after this, I
usually will do my oil.
- Okay.
- I try use this oil.
- Oh, okay.
- And then I'll use my moisturizer,
which is this moisturizer.
- Oh, okay.
- So I'm not gonna do that though
since I'm getting into the shower.
I'll come back on after I shower. Okay.
Love you guys.
Nice talking to you-all.
- So the first product is a Marula Oil.
Marula Oil is really
beneficial for the skin.
It can be really hydrating,
but it's well tolerated by a
bunch of different skin types.
I'm not gonna to come out on the brand,
but there is a product from the ordinary
that is 100% Marula Oil.
They use really high quality Marula Oil
and you can find other
products with Marula Oil
that are really beneficial for the skin
so I recommend going that option.
The second product that she
used is Tidal from Sunday Riley,
which is a moisturizer that
I've talked about in the past.
This one right here.
I specifically like it
because it's a fragrance-free formula,
which is difficult to find
from Sunday Riley sometimes,
but it's also very unique
in the sense that it's
formulated with alpha-arbutin,
an amazing ingredient
for brightening the skin.
It's a really unique,
lightweight, gel, watery formula
that really absorbs into
the skin very quickly.
And it's just one of those
ingredient lists that I was like,
"Wow, that is a good one."
But the price mama,
(blows loudly)
that one's a little
expensive I will say that,
but a good product nonetheless.
Well, okay.
So I'm a little taken aback
at how simple that was.
(laughs loudly)
I saw the live video time
and it said nine minutes in total.
So I was like, "Okay.
"It's probably gonna be a pretty
extensive skin-care routine
"or a pretty good amount of steps."
but that was actually really simple,
but I don't have a problem with that.
Like you guys know, I love a
good simple skin-care routine
that targets the issues that
you need to take care of,
but isn't overexposing your
skin to a ton of products
and a ton of ingredients
that will only increase
the risk of irritation.
My thoughts on the whole thing.
Obviously, makeup wipes, nope.
I think a cleansing
oil or a cleansing balm
would've been better.
The cleanser I think is fine.
However, I don't like that she
uses that Witch Hazel Toner
after using a cleanser with salycilic acid
because that pairing of salycilic acid
and an additional layer of Witch Hazel
can be a little bit drying to the skin.
But the good thing is that she does go in
with a hydrating oil afterwards
to compensate for any
of that moisture loss
and follows up with a
really good moisturizer.
Normally, I'd be a little concerned
about her pairing a
brightening moisturizer
with a salicylic acid treatment,
but because the salicylic
acid isn't a cleanser,
I'm like, "You know what?
"It's probably okay.
"It's probably spaced out enough
"that it's not gonna be
overly irritating her skin."
As much as I don't like
the Mario Badescu cleanser.
I think it is good that she's breaking up
how often she's using the
Kiehl Acid Salicyclic Cleanser
'cause in my opinion,
I don't think you should be
using a salicylic cleanser
every single day for
the rest of your life.
I think it's a good ingredient
to use when you need it
and then to get off of it when
you don't need it anymore.
And so breaking it up with
a non-alcohol cleanser,
is a good way to go.
I think if she is seeing
some irritation on her face
and to make sure that she's
not overly stripping her skin
by using the Witch Hazel Toner,
I think the Kate Somerville
Delikate Soothing Cleanser ...
I've talked about this one before.
I think this one is great
because it's good for cleansing the skin,
but it's not gonna overly strip it.
And it also has ingredients that'll help
to reduce any redness or sensitivity
from using any other active ingredients.
So I think if she just went
in with a cleanser like this
on the off days that she
wasn't using the Kiehl's one,
she'd be good to go.
But overall, I don't
really see too many issues
with that routine.
I think she was covering a lot of bases
and so long as she's
getting in a sunscreen
during the day ...
I know this is a nighttime routine,
but as long as she is making sure
to get in sunscreen every single day,
I don't have a problem with that.
I think it's a good routine.
What do you guys think of
this skin-care routine?
I would love to know your thoughts.
Please share them down below.
Also educate me on Madison Beer
because I need to learn
more about her as a person.
(laughs loudly)
And also let me know who
you want me to react to next
because I haven't been seeing
as many requests lately
and so I'm kind of like,
"I don't know who you
guys want me to react to."
And I would of course,
love to know your guys' requests first.
And if you haven't already,
be sure to subscribe to my channel
and to the notification bell
so that you can see my
videos every single week.
And I'll see you guys in the next one.
