I think it’s a shame customers are bashing Dimitri James
Really how sad is it as a human being to say not nice things about the appearance of a vendor. Skinn cosmetics has been delivering high quality products for years and all I see is people putting in their nasty opinions on Dimitri appearance. Did no one ever teach you if you have nothing nice to say say nothing! Personally I love Skinn cosmetics and appreciate all the hard work Dimitri James puts into his products!!

I like his products but he’s starting to look ridiculous. There is something to be said for aging gracefully.
-
I agree with the original poster. Stop bashing the guy. Most baby boomers and genXers, myself included are fighting the aging process. I would like to see how some of the bashers actually look behind their computer screens. Dimitri gives good advice on application of his products. Years ago, using his products saved my skin. Unfortunately, as I age, I can no longer use Skinn. I tend to change my skincare every 5 years as my skin changes.

I’m not going to bash him, however, when I get a message that an autoship ordered has extended delivery while they show the same item available but at twice the price, one has to wonder who exactly is responsible for making that decision. If it’s HSN, shame on them. If it’s Dimitri, how sad. I don’t care what he’s had done either. Just silly to deny it though.
-
shame on you!!!!
-
Shame on who? All of us giving our opinions? What’s wrong with that?

I have been watching Dimitri and Skinn since he was on Evine and then came to HSN and he has always been honest about his age and his looks. He mentioned that he was going bald in the back and said he had to have a hair weave done. His skin has always been smooth and wrinkle-free. I personally like his modern updated look and his products are top-shelf and priced affordably.

Many celebrities and people in the public eye are taking ozempic to lose weight. Then they get “Ozempic face” where their face loses a lot of fat from quick weight loss and they need plastic surgery and filler to plump it back up. Dimiti is 60 years old. He looks younger and whoever did the work on his face did a great job. Look at Amy, the host, she started filler young. I believe in good skin and have used Tatcha, Lancome, and Dior and it really has given me beautiful skin, but after 60 you cannot achieve looking younger without some help from facial filler and botox. No matter what you use, or how much sun screen ( I am not a sun person), time and gravity makes us lose collagen that cannot be put back by products, no matter what anybody tells you. You can still enjoy someone products, but need to realize you will not get his results.
-
I love love love him and his products. I don’t care for all the work he has done but different strokes for different folks. As long as he’s happy with his looks that’s all that counts.
-
It is really strange to us common folk how often people in front of the camera get work done on their face…even in their 40s. They don’t look better just strange and yet people keep doing it. I don’t know if it is botox or what but I have seen people look 20 years younger but it is very temporary. Then they get a face lift which looks horrible. Even a lot of the hosts on these shopping channels get work done.
-
I agree, no need to be harsh or insensitive. And of course yes he has had lots of work obviously. BUT, I do believe he maintains his skin also by using good products. And he knows really good products. Its obvious he’s very passionate about skin care and knows his stuff. I know that when I use his products, my skin always looks better and improves! ☺
-
Come on be serious, he looks like a teenager.And,it’s not from his products!Are they good, YES!
But, not for the results he’s achieved.I know many people that lost weight and now they’re wrinkled more and have tons of hanging skin. You don’t look better aging without maintaining
Period! I know because I’m aging! LOL-
I have many friends who have lost weight with surgery, bands,, making stomach smaller and then when the weight was lost over 100 pounds they have the surgery to remove the hanging, sagging, skin They look fabulous. You always have to have a total package plan when losing weight or you will be hanging and sagging..People on this page focus on the wrong things.

I can’t wear Skinn products due to the perfume in most of his products. I have sensitive skin.
-
I don’t know what people are saying about Dimitrii for i don’t follow this often. But his looks have changed. I do believe due to the fact he has lost weight. But if he has had a little work done so be it. I love all Skinn cosmetics products and have used most of them. The weight loss will give you a makeover and change your looks. As will a weight gain. Be gentle everyone. I have used his products for years and discovered him on Evine.

I don’t think anyone is “bashing” Dimitri. Customers are giving their opinions and that is all.
If you are on tv, it is perfectly normal that some people will not think you are the greatest thing on earth. Different opinions are what makes blogs fun to read! I’m sure Dimitri is not worried about it. As long as he keeps making millions of dollars on HSN what does he care what anyone says about him? -
Love Dimitri. Following him since Evine. Not aware of what he may have done, I was not there, and frankly, it’s not obvious to me if he has. His products have been good for my very sensitive skin. Have tried other things and nearly always come back. (Thank you, Dimitri.)
-
Playing devil’s-advocate for a moment.
Yes, people should stop bashing Dimitri (and certain HSN beauty hosts) for their drastic change in appearance. The problem many customers have is the trust that’s lost when Dimitri, et al, deny having any form of plastic surgery done. It’s fine if they have, just be honest and don’t make false claims about the products making them look the way they do.
Personally, I have multiple issues with the Skinn line since my sensitive skin doesn’t like his products. Regardless, if I could use his products, I would stop simply because they’re not being transparent and honest about their change in appearance.
-
Absolutely!! I’ve been thinking this exactly. Always admired his honesty with his products. So I feel a conflict of interest when the owner takes a path that is contradictory.
-
Here Here and well said!
-
There is nothing about his products that he doesn’t deliver- what he does with his face is his business and no it doesn’t equal that he is hypocritical or not delivering quality products and you all that are bashing him are kind of slanderous to his product line. Your sensitivity to something doesn’t equal his line isn’t quality and amazing….
-
You hit the nail on the head….just be honest!
-
I think it’s rude and shows that people think that they can write whatever they want about someone else because they’re hiding behind a mask here! This world is in bad shape I think because of this, people think that they can make nasty, crude, remarks. HSN should track them, and kick them off of here!!, If someone wants to change their appearance, then it’s their prerogative,,,,,And, if you don’t like it, then go off somewhere, and look in the mirror. I think that people who say negative stuff, are not happy, I pity them!

@ Sydney Mom: I agree with you 100%. The only issue is lack of CREDIBILITY of a vendor when they make us believe (in so many ways) that they look that fabulous just because of their products and not because of any surgical procedures. That is just blatantly not true and to some degree upsetting for me as the customer.
It would be so much more “human” for the vendors to make an endearingly honest comment on air, such as: “of course my products will not be able to replace any kind of more invasive/costly beauty treatment, but it will certainly compliment and improve the appearance of your skin”… something like that. Such a simple solution.
For example: Vendor Paul Woods of Bellezza makes these light-hearted and believable comments in such a charming way (regarding his ongoing Botox and a painful neck skin procedures). Once you have the courage as a vendor/sales person to really connect with your loyal customer base, then a lot of viewers will most likely stop commenting about it and move on.
Just a thought.

I disagree. Still too judgey. Skin and surgery are two different things, actually. Even if a person had a procedure, the skin still requires care. And it’s his business if he wants to reveal his personal decisions or not. Focus on the products and the reviews. Most people in the limelight have SOMEthing done. Med Spas are wonderful!
-
Dmitri James has always made the caveat re: not a replacement for surgical procedures and I have been watching for 10 years
-
Agreed!!!!
