      Idk I need the exfoliant to fight the pollution in my city and then since my skin is relatively sensitive I need to calm it later. But whenever I’m in Europe I barely have to do anything. So I don’t think it’s intentional but it just happens to be a side effect.

    After spending an embarrassing amount of money on everyone else's holy grails and not seeing any difference in my skin, I'm definitely back to basics. Because I'm not spending so much money on a bunch of things that straight up do nothing, I feel like I can splash out on the few things I do use. I'm happy to keep rebuying my $50 sunscreen that sits perfectly on my skin, rather than cycling through 6 or 7 different ones at $25 each that I hated. I have literally one serum that has multiple actives that I use morning and night. Since starting tret, I barely have to exfoliate anymore either. Frees up cash to be able to spend it on things like micro needling etc. that have much more impact on my skin, as well. It's really freeing to be off the skincare product hamster wheel, to be honest. Still love the videos though because they help me reflect on what it is I am looking for in a skincare routine ❤

    In a way I'm actually glad that my perimenopausal + non hodgkin's lymphoma affected skin decided to completely freak out & become reactive to almost everything I was using when it did. It totally forced me to take another look at my skincare routine and then strip it back to basics. Prior to that I had a Korean skincare inspired routine that was working really well, but at the same time I was constantly looking for the next 'better' product that was out there. Now I have a limited number of products that don't cause my skin to react with burning redness and welts, so it's really meant having to be extra aware of what actually works for my skin & then sticking to it, instead of thinking, "Yeah but if this product is good, maybe this other product is even better."
    My current skincare regime is:
    Morning - Cleanse with a gentle foaming cleanser, rinse and apply a rosewater & glycerine toner when my skin's still damp, follow up with Oil of Olay sensitive skin (cream for colder weather, lotion for warmer weather), finish off with SPF 50 sunscreen if I'm going out.
    Evening - Pre-cleanse with cold cream (I rotate between four different ones, depending on the season and if my skin has any specific needs at any one time), cleanse again with a gentle foam cleanser, rosewater and glycerine toner applied over damp skin, Oil of Olay moisturiser and then an application of either a Glycerine or Lard based cream/balm for overnight 'slugging'.
    Exfoliation is done manually (gently) with a soft face cloth as needed (so paying attention to my skin's needs rather than sticking to a strict 1, 2 or 3 times a week, etc, schedule; same goes for my version of 'slugging', what cream I use depends entirely on what my skin actually needs).
    And of course on top of that, drinking enough fluid, eating a well balanced diet, trying to get enough quality sleep & reducing stress levels.

    Like Roberts last video about the hype of makeup, I agree 100%. There’s just too much going on. People can’t keep up and the market is overly saturated with products, gimmicks, trends, etc. Everyone needs to take a step back and realize that they only need a the few products that work for them, given a few fun product and that’s it!

      I agree ☝️ I also agree that the beauty industry is desperate to get our money and is definitely out of control and puts out Sh!t products. I try to listen to a few influencers I’ve grown to trust and buy from brands that have a purpose. Like this company called Gemini Beauty, the creator was 17yrs old when she started her company a few years ago and she has Lupus which is close to home as I have several chronic illnesses and my aunt has lupus. She donates the proceeds to the Lupus Foundation of LA. I shared her company when she 1st started out so much she sent me her favorite product of 3 ( she only started with 3 products) which was her moisturizer and a code for family/friends to get a discount. Not sure if the code is still active or not ,honestly I need to re-order from her. Her family already has money, so this is something she is passionate about ( not saying she has money,but you can tell her family worked their butts off ) skincare for sensitive skin and skincare that works. But yes omg is it so over saturated.

    I remember going on my skincare journey for the first time, and there was so many things that I felt lost. Eventually, I broke it down to cleanse, exfoliate (on occasion), tone, and moisturize. I also do a face mist on occasion too. Most of my stuff is CeraVe (due to samples I got from my Grandma), but it definitely works for my skin. This video definitely helps in clarifying things, and it definitely solidifies my opinion of skincare needing to be simple. Thank you James! ^^

    I realised all this over a year ago. Not only has it saved me a ton of money on buying products with sub-par formulas not actually suited to by skin, but it's worked wonders for my skin to go for a simple approach of having just a 3-step skin care routine of cleanser, toner/serum and moisturiser. Also saves time on your skin care routine too not having to use so many products.

    I also love night creams now that I’m a bit older. My skin is slightly on the dry side so I find that I might use a night cream during the day especially in the winter.

I think I’m allergic to beeswax and that’s how I found this and took a chance even though I’d never herd of the brand. I just finished the tube up. I do use another product with it with spf bc this is a lip essence so I assumed it’s intended to use with other balms or lip products. Are lips skin is really really delicate, so we should treat it like our face and use more than one product to protect the delicate skin I believe at least. So at night I use a lip mask , during the day I use the Torriden Lip Essence bc it’s kinda liquidy even though it says solid in lip essence and I put a thicker layer of a gloss or an spf over that. I’m 44 and I’ve had issues my whole life with chapped lips , which in part is due to my being a lip licker lol and I honestly believe I’ve built a allergy to beeswax bc about four or five years ago my skin became sensitive to everything I used to use and I done a little research and a dermatologist said it could be an allergy to beeswax,so vegan lip products don’t have that ingredient, idk if Torriden is vegan bc they definitely could have something else in it but definitely not beeswax. It took a little time for my lips to heal ,but my lips are much better now. I’m reordering asap. Let me know what you think!?

    Hydrating gel or serum to finish if my skin is feeling like the Sahara dessert.

    I love this, thank you so much for the step by step. I'm always so confused by when to put what on over what, etc.
    Can you talk about what ingredients you shouldn't mix others also? I was told something about tanning & retinol or waxing? I can't keep track anymore.

    Sun sticks may be ok for top ups throughout the day but probably not so good as your main sunscreen as you need an awful lot of swipes to get a proper coverage, Michelle at Lab muffin did a recent video and it was shocking how much you had to use so one swipe all over the face might feel nice and light but once you've added 3 layers you've still not reached spf 50 and it's all just sitting on your skin in a thick greasy layer.

    I think I'm the only dry skin person I've heard of that has oily undereyes and eyelids. If I can get a (non-liquid) eyeliner that lasts longer than an hour I consider it a win, and eyeshow only doesn't separate into my eye crease if I've used a good quality eye primer. Probably why I never really got eye creams unless they had active ingredients. And my skin handles actives really well, so I can just put my retinol right under my eye.

  • @vickise
    @vickise ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am in the middle with my skincare routine, I definitely have more serum steps than most 2-3 serum routines but I try to keep my overall routine within 10 ish steps lol. There are just too many things that work so great for my skin that I don't want to be without like Purito unscented, Benton snail bee essence, vitamin c, resveratrol, Tret, lactic acid, and peptides, etc... (dear god not all in the same routine though lol). I realize 10/12-step routines aren't for everyone and rotating works best for some but my dry skin looses its glow and protests with flakes when I simplify :)

    • @vickise

    Jaaaaaames! Nudestix just released their cica cleansing jelly milk! It claims to be able to replace the double cleansing process of your routine with only one product. I'm all for a minimal skincare routine so I would love your thoughts on this! 😊

    • @Updog89
      @Updog89 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just as a friendly FYI, Nudestix is a shady company! For example, they made claims their products were vegan and some weren’t. They also add wasteful tins to their packaging and claim it’s eco-friendly because you can mail them back to them , don’t always pay content creators for doing promotional work for them, and were Trump supporters.

  • @MensGroomingAdvice
    @MensGroomingAdvice 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I’ve found so many toners, cleansers, serums and sun screens I love over my 20yr skincare journey. But I still haven’t found a ‘favourite’ moisturiser - they are either too heavy, too greasy or just don’t add or seal in moisture. The search continues…..

  • @AKbaby89
    @AKbaby89 ปีที่แล้ว

    So how would you use a balm that is in a tub? The stick form makes a lot of sense to me tho, and I have super dry skin with eczema, so im sure I could use it. I don't get eczema on my face, but I get it on my neck, chest, and back, so I always take my hydrating toners/serums/moisturizer down my chest and on my back.

    If you are 43 and have the world’s driest skin, a sunscreen oil is a lifesaver. I hate mineral sunscreens, and refuse to use any. They break me out, and leave the worst white cast. I even see the cast on every review you do of mineral sunscreens. I love me a Supergoop! Ceramide Sunscreen oil, and it leaves me with one less skincare product to use in the a.m. I try to keep my morning routine to a bare minimum. So, it may not be “necessary”, but not every one of us likes goopy mineral sunscreen. I have never had any irritation from a chemical sunscreen, and with the oil, I have been using it for one full year this month, and I have never had a sunburn on my face since using this particular product.

    People he's speaking from a combo/oily skin POV. If you're using retinol you should be using exfoliants once a week when not using retinol. Maybe 2... but most likely not needed. Especially if you have dry skin. Exfoliating with dry skin isn't necessary for everyone.
    Keep in mind. EVERYONE'S skin is different. Listen to it and do what works best for you.
