After Brown shared a video on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/milliebobbybrown/?hl=en) over the weekend demonstrating how she uses her vegan skincare line for teenage girls, Florence by Mills, comments immediately began flowing in criticizing the _Stranger Things_ star for pretending to use products like a face mist, scrub, wash and moisturizer. “Are we going to ignore the fact she never put anything on her face?” [one person commented](https://www.buzzfeed.com/eleanorbate/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-video-apology). Others noted that Brown still had makeup on at the end of the video. Brown has since deleted the video from her Instagram and replaced it with a screenshot from the Notes app explaining the thought process behind her decision. “I’m still learning the best way to share my routines as I get to know this space better — I’m not an expert,” she wrote. “I thought doing a quick video replicating my personal process for that night was okay, but that’s not what was conveyed. I understand, I appreciate all of your feedback on this journey, please keep sharing your thoughts and I will too!” Watch Brown’s skincare video, which is still up on the Florence by Mills YouTube page, below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5677133/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5677133/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-video/"},"headline":"Millie Bobby Brown Explains Why She Appeared Not to Use the Products in a Skincare Routine Video","datePublished":"2019-09-13T16:45:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:17.460Z","description":"\"I'm still learning\"","url":"https://time.com/5677133/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5236d95ca8ced186/698a02df86f68e67856ed92b/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-routine.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5236d95ca8ced186/698a02df86f68e67856ed92b/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-routine.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Millie-Bobby-Brown-Skincare-Routine","caption":"Millie Bobby Brown attends the premiere of Netflix's \"Stranger Things\" Season 3 in Santa Monica, California on June 28, 2019.","creditText":"Matt Winkelmeyer/FilmMagic—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5677133/millie-bobby-brown-skincare-video/","name":"Millie Bobby Brown Explains Why She Appeared Not to Use the Products in a Skincare Routine Video"}}]}] ```
