Erin, in 1978 my Mom had Nair on her legs and was walking into the kitchen to make some coffee. Our Persian cat ran across the living room and Buffy (our cat) ran head first into my Mom’s legs. We got it off right away but, poor Buffy was missing a little bit of her fluffy hair on top of her head. 😭 It did grow back though. 😊

I had wondered why my grandmother was so afraid of certain beauty items. Now I know, just because they claim it is safe doesn’t always mean they are.

I did a report on the Food Drug and Cosmetics act of 1938 in college. I checked out the Skin Deep book, and included blindness from “Lash Lure” in my article. We are very fortunate to have government regulations.

I really am glad freckles are looked at positively these days! I never had freckles but even as a small child when it was considered "ugly" I thought they were beautiful and wished I did.

@@CMStrawbridge They're more than just sun damage, they're a specific kind of sun damage that gives rise to a lot of positive stereotypes (which ironically was probably why they had a bad reputation when the snooty upperclass ideals was goals even for the lower classes). It's like a better looking and less dangerous version of tans, and is more obvious than tans on people of all colors but the absolutely darkest who wouldn't have a noticeable version of tans either because their skin is so beautifully intensely black thanks to melanism (the opposite of albinism). Plus artificial freckles are still very charming looking and can even be done in all sorts of unnatural colors, making it easy for even people with melanism to create higher contrast false freckles. I am really sorry you didn't get to like your freckles when you were young, but these days not only do kids with it get to have it much better than you had it when it comes to freckles, but like (nice, not neon orange) fake tans you don't have to rely on the sun anymore to get them back. You can just use henna or makeup, even.

We really do stupid stuff in the name of beauty to this day. A couple of years ago i had CoolSculpting done because it was marketed as "FDA approved." Mangled my stomach.

I went to get a consultation on CoolSculpting but ended up getting a tummy tuck and lipo instead, idk something didn’t sit right with me. So many of these medical spa treatments are ineffective and/or dangerous. The hype cycle is so strong when they first come out, then a few years later they fall out of favor.

Loved the video, and the end was the cherry on top when you talked about us looking down on the things people used in the past while still using things that are untested long-term. I bet that 100 years from now they will talk about the crazy /killer ingredients we use today in our cosmetics. I'd love to see this becoming a show on Netflix! Love you Erin ❤

I love this makeup look on you Erin! My grandmothers washed their face with buttermilk a few times a week to keep their skin looking radiant. I have to say that they did not have many age spots, if any in their old age. The Lactic Acid in buttermilk, milk, and yogurt, really is amazing for the skin, and they all make a wonderful home DIY facial mask. Lactic Acid is a gentle exfoliator and an amazing hydrator. Due to its larger molecular size, it is one of the safest exfoliators. This is from my experience as a medical aesthetician for over 16 yrs. ✌️💕
