Beauty Tips For Body Care
So just to be clear; I have nothing against Olena Beley and I'm always encouraging women being credited for their work. I'm posting because I want to discuss this issue, not because I want people to harass her or anything of that sort. She is a YouTuber/Skinfluencer and she specifically posts about acne, in my humble opinion she gives pretty good advice. However, something always bothered me with her; she often claims that she literally invented the "trend" in skincare that consists of putting a humectant and after that, a moisturizer on your damp face. She trademarked it under the name "3 step moisture method". I don't mind protecting your work and the idea of using a trademark, but I'm bothered when you do so for something that you're not even sure you truly invented. Yesterday she posted a story on Instagram about it, because someone confronted her about that on her insta page, and she went on explaining quite aggressively that SHE invented this skincare trend and that other skinfluencers like Dr. Dray just copied her without crediting her (or at least, this statement is heavily implied in her stories). She uses as a "proof" that she started talking about this in 2017 while the other skininfluencers only started recently. Even if it's true, girl that doesn't mean you invented anything... I mean I found at least 2 scientific articles published before 2017 that mention moisturizing the face on damp skin... What do you guys think? I invite you to watch her stories from yesterday to fully grasp her arguments but of course don't hate on her please that is not the point.
