This video could go very wrong for me, but I did it anyway. I answered 10 of those “things YouTubers don’t usually say” questions—some beauty-related, some YouTube-related, and some a bit too honest. I talk about the trend that genuinely annoys me (young skin being pushed into anti-aging), the kinds of comments that get under my skin (accusations that I’m “peddling” expensive products), and the reality of trying to help people who ask super specific routine questions when I don’t actually know their skin, budget, tolerance, or goals. I also get personal about confidence: I don’t feel pressure to look perfect on camera, but I absolutely do get insecure after posting sometimes and wonder if a video was “shit” (Gary can confirm). I share the one step I refuse to skip (washing my face at night), why I don’t cleanse properly in the morning anymore (dryness), and the real-life thing that surprises people most when they meet me—my height. And yes, I end with the one high-end product I’d keep for five years if everything else had to be affordable: Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream. I wish something cheaper beat it, but for my mature skin, nothing does.
