MUSHROOMS IN SKIN CARE! Hype or Helpful? | feat. Ipsy September 2023

Yay, it’s Shelly! ❤ 😊

What are mushrooms Shelly?🍄🍄🍄

Mushrooms are great for several medicinal purposes when eaten. Never heard of skin.

I’m with you, Shelly. I can’t eat mushrooms either.

I used to use the Blithe pressed serum tundra chaga. I really liked it, just got distracted with the shiny and new, as we do. I eat cooked mushrooms, but not raw - texture issues. I keep thinking about trying four sigmatic. And yes, MOB beauty is amazing.

I bet it’s great

Love this! Thanks for doing the research on mushrooms and their benefits for skin. Don’t close the door, they are having fun!

I used a mushroom origin product before (I think it was eye cream) irritated and burned my eyes! It always smelled weird

Their are Reishi and Cordycepts mushrooms in my Protein Smoothie I get… they are supposed to be good for your mental cognition and focus it says on the bag LOL! 🍄🍄🍄 but I don’t want to just eat them … yuk 😳🤣🤣🤣 maybe raw I’ve never tried that but def not cooked can’t stand the texture neither 🤍🤍🤍

SHROOMS!!! Magic even without the tripping! Lol!
I do a lot of mushrooms... turkey tail for digestion & immune health, Reishi for longevity & general support, Lion's mane for memory and nerve support ( I live with fibromyalgia and with that comes a very annoying form of neuropathy), Agarikon for a balanced immune system , and I take Stamets 7 ( a blend of mushrooms for well being , anti cancer etc).
These are all capsules, when I can find mushrooms to eat or use as tea ( as one will enjoy Chaga) I do that... but for me supplements are an easy and sure fire way for me to get what I need into me. I suggest that anyone interested in knowing more about medicinal mushrooms look up Paul Stamet. He is ( I may be off on this but I believe I read this ) the number one expert in the world about all things mushroom/mycelium and fungal! Interesting fellow .
As far as using mushrooms in skincare, NYX has a small line out called FREEZIES... the "freezie" ingredient that gives it it's name and characteristic cooling effect ( think a York peppermint Patty for the face .. well okay... not THAT intense but pretty chilly) is Snow Mushroom , Tremella Mushroom.... works on hydration, builds collagen, and helps to reverse hyperpigmentation/sun damage.
It is basically a watery gel type substance ( at least all of the ones I have used) and sinks into the skin without leaving any stickiness behind . I have DRY mature skin ( I turn 66 on September 31st) -
Between the mushrooms for the face, the snail mucus , and the bee products... nature's pretty much got me covered!😂
Have a great rest of the week! And here's a shout out to THE ONE AND ONLY ZIVA!❤

I use all all the Origins Mushroom skin care line, it's been a lifesaver for my skin. You're so fun to watch!

I just went to Ulta to purchase, and read the ingredients! Holy wow!!The amount of essential oils, and how high up on the list they are… to much for me. My skin would freak out! Origins loves their essential oils. It’s even got Patchouli oil in it! I love that as a fragrance note in my parfum, just not on my face;)

I still enjoyed every minute of your video… as always.💜

Dr.Weil used to be on Oprah quite a bit. He was the first traditional dr who also believes in other medicines- Chinese., Ayurvedic, alternative therapies, and good food!!. They all have something to offer. He’s fascinating. He had a website - haven’t looked for a while- I’ll bet it’s still there. And he’s one of those people you could listen to all day- just like you!!

Dr Weil has been around forever but came to fame when he started to work with Oprah in the 90s (I think?) He’s very knowledgeable about herbal and non traditional medicine. I am interested in trying this!

PS) Mushrooms, which I learned in Microbiology waaay back when before nursing school, are the reproductive organs of fungi. Since then, I have not touched a single one. 🤢

Earlier this afternoon I was on Ulta to buy the St Tropez self tanner since it’s on sale for 21 days of beauty, and the Origins ginseng vitamin C & niacinamide eye cream was half off. I read the info and decided if I was going to try it now was the time, I’m not spending almost $40 without assurances; it’s easier to give in for $18.50 😉 Great video, very informative Shelly, thx. 💋💄👏🏻❤️ Your kiki’s are the BEST! Ziva is a precious baby, I love her appearances! 😻😻

🍄🍄🍄

This is my favorite essence. I love it. A bit of a splurge, but worth the spend.

Interesting information. Thank you!

I love the Dr Weil products and they smell lovely.

I ❤ eating mushrooms 🍄! Hey, I would try some thing with mushroom in it but I’m not exactly seeking it out if that makes sense.
So if I see something in the store that looks interesting and has mushroom in it I will give it a go…😊

Hi Shelley I like mushrooms for eating and I knew they were good for the skin - I'm sure they're also a source of adaptogens btw. The Origins line however is full of essential oils and my reactive, rosacea and eczema prone skin can't do essential oils. Dr Weil himself has been around for many years and along with Dr Perricone, was one of the Doctors who started skincare lines long before the plethora of Dr based lines we now have. Korean/Asian beauty has used mushrooms for skincare for a long time too. You may not realise there are mushroom extracts in many skincare things you've used in the past and/or present also, without it being called out as a star ingredient. Best wishes.

There is snail,bee, n snake serums along with mushroom..I've been seeing lots of hype about them lately

I like any kind of mushrooms! My Grandfather picked mushrooms in the woods and my Grandmother would clean them and put a silver coin in the pot to boil them. She always said if the coin turned black they were not for consumption. I ate them all my life and I’m still here.
I would definitely try a mushroom skin care product.

Shelly, we can get wicked awesome readers on zelool. I also need to buy a couple pairs (one to keep in my bag and one to keep by my chair) and if you do it I'll do it!!! As soon as budgets allow; they're not $$ but my budget is scared right now lol.
As for the mushroom convo, I'm allergic to eating mushrooms and I wonder how far that goes. There's so many species and I don't know which send me off and I don't know if topical use would be bad or not. Of course my doc didn't know either....
Maybe I should line up a bunch of different mushrooms with a few epi pens and have a go!! 🤔
Or not....... 😂

I think cooked mushrooms of all kinds are fabulous! Raw? Nah! But as a skincare ingredient? Why not? They're using snail slime! I think Ziva wants some shrooms - the magic kind! Thanks for the video! PS One thing I've been using every morning under my sunscreen is Andalou Naturals' Luminous Vitamin C Eye Serum. It's been a few months now, and I love what it's done to my sensitive, rosacea-reactive face. I found it for $5. for a 0.6 oz. tube at TJMaxx, and I pick up one every time I see it. I think I've got three backups waiting, but it is also stocked at Sprouts Natural Markets for about $18. per tube (ouch!) I think I'm going to explore more of the items in this line once my skin does its usual seasonal freakout when we get cooler weather and Santa Ana winds (Southern California; skin does freak out!). Thanks again!

I have been the brunt of many mushroom jokes - I absolutely cannot stand the texture of them - cooked raw button or shitake - just yuk. Thank you for your reviews, and your candor .

So to confirm, no powder and no eye concealer? Mature skin here looking for a one and done. This looks lovely 🥰

I don’t see a link to the foundation. Maybe it’s just me

Ziva licking your shirt while my pittie is resting his head on my knee, just dripping drool down my leg bc I’m eating salsa and chips…. She’s not gross like Gordy, at all ❤️ Ziva is an angel baby.

Chaka Mushrooms make an amazing tea as well as using it for making coffee. Chaka Mushroom are amazingly great to ingest as well as applying on our more mature skin. They look gross, but you can boil a couple chunks of Chaka in water and put in a gallon jug and use like I said for your coffee water and etc. great video topic. Thank you
