away the contour sticks, because the latest beauty trend
is all about natural skin. A beauty blogger's photo of
her perfect skin is taking over the internet, and set
a new standard in beauty as commenters are calling it glass skin. One of the most important
steps in achieving glass skin is washing your face before
bed, but the days of soap and water, some say are long gone. So today, we're going to tell
you which cleansing trends are worth the buzz, and which
ones are a complete bust.
- So first up is powder cleanser. So powders have been around. They've been in makeup
regimens for a very long time. But this is kind of new twist,
where sometimes, like taken from some Japanese skincare regimens.
They have rice enzymes
to brighten your skin. But the idea is you take
the powder, and you actually will very gradually mix
drops of water into it, and you use it as an exfoliant. And you can kind of
tailor it to how foaming or how thick you want to
the degree of exfoliation, and they're also getting a
lot more pickup and interest because they don't often have
preservatives, or alcohol, or other ingredients
that people don't want. - So this would be on my face
theoretically, and you use a little spritzer.
- Exactly. So you can make it as diluted
or as course as you want. So it's just a natural
cleanser and exfoliant. So this one is definitely
getting much more buzz.
(Audience clapping) - Buzz! Bruski, what d'ya got going on? - Micellar water. Do you know what micellar
water is, young man? - Well, I know what micelles
are, but I do not know what micellar water is. - Okay, micelles, that's right. It's micelles.
It's balls of oil molecules
that are suspended in soft water. How did this concept start? Well, back in the day
when plumbing wasn't quite as good as it is now, the
water came out very harsh. It was not good on your face. They discovered this in
France, then they came up with this idea, micellar water.
It's popular here now, but we
don't really have the issue of harsh water like we did years ago, so is this really necessary? - I'm not gonna drink that water. I'll tell you that. - It is the bust! (Audience groaning) - Make sense. You can save some money if
you're gonna spend more money.
- [Dr. Stork] It sounds
really fancy, though. - It sounds fancy. Like, oil suspended in water.
That's kind of an interesting idea. - It is going to moisturize
your skin at the same time, and I guess they get the pH
right, and it is soft water. - So it's not gonna hurt ya. - No, no.
It just may not be worth the cost. - [Dr. Ordon] If she's taking that home, I'm taking this home. - So last, but not least, is
something called face polish.
And so one thing,
especially if you're going for this poreless, really
clear look is exfoliation and dermatologists are sort
of obsessed with this idea that you're trying to slough
those dry, dead skins. You're trying to clean out the pores. The only difference between
a polish is that it's just much finer grains than
the old scrubs that tend to be a little bit harsher. - Some of them can feel
almost abrasive when you're putting them on.
- [Dr.
Batra] Exactly. - So that would eliminate that. - So this would be a much more gentle way. Maybe two or three times
a week, just to really kind of help turn over the skin.
Another route if you don't want
something physical like this would be a chemical exfoliant. Those are things like alpha
hydroxy acids, like glycolic, lactic. Beta hydroxies or salicylic acid. Those are all the chemical
exfoliants that help turn over your skin.
But we're finding that if you
do that a couple times a week, that really help expedite
your cell turnover, gives you a little bit more glow. This one is definitely a buzz as well. (Buzzing).
