What’s in your facial cleansing cloths?

Things that make you go YIKES!

What’s in your facial cleansing cloths? Press play and learn about some of the ingredients in personal care products that can irritate your skin or may even cause cancer! What we put on our bodies is important, and I run down what to look for and what to avoid in this video.

Of course, it’s easy to get derailed when you start looking up ingredients on cosmetics and personal care products. Why are we putting ANY of these chemicals on our skin?! Where’s my bubble?! For those of us that don’t want to live in a bubble, it’s all about making informed decisions and weighing risks versus benefits. There are plenty of low risk options with great benefits. I share some of them here!

EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics Database –

* Note: Be sure to check the “last updated” dates when looking up products on the EWG database. If the manufacturer has reformulated a product, it might not yet be updated on the EWG site. For example, some of Urban Decay’s Primer Potions used to contain parabens (as listed in EWG) but have been reformulated in the past 2 years and no longer contain parabens.

In this video, I’m wearing:

L’Oreal Visible Lift Blur Foundation in 201 Light Ivory (never again! Why haven’t I tossed this yet?)
IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Powder in Fair
L’Oreal True Match Blush in Cool 1-2 Baby Blossom
Rimmel Natural Bronzer Waterproof Bronzing Powder in 020 Sunshine
Bare Minerals BareSkin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer in Fair
Nyx Avant Pop Eyeshadow Palette
Physicians Formula 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum in Ultra Black
Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Full Fan Effect Waterproof Mascara in Black
Eylure Vegas Nay Lashes in Classic Charm
Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in 05 Flutter Kiss

Welcome to Geek Out of Water!

Hello, world!

Welcome to Geek Out of Water! My name is Shelly, and I started this blog and YouTube channel to help fill the void in the genre of 40-something beauty bloggers. I’m a 41-year-old web programming nerd with changing skin and changing needs, learning to navigate the beauty world. I’ll be sharing tips, tricks, and finds as I research beauty products to find the ones that work the best on skin that’s starting to show those smile lines and sun spots and sins of years past. Extra cheers to my fellow fair complected and dry skinned fishes!

Show some love with a thumbs up and subscribe to Geek Out of Water on YouTube for weekly videos. Thanks!

In the Welcome video, I’m wearing:
Makeup Forever Nourishing Primer
Neutrogena Visibly Even BB Cream Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF30 in Fair to Light
IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation Powder in Fair
Tarte Rainforest After Dark Eye & Cheek Palette (shadow, blush, contour, highlight)
Rimmel Natural Bronzer Waterproof Bronzing Powder in 020 Sunshine
