I have extremely dry skin so what I usually do is I will apply hyaluronic acid straight to my skin while it's damp otherwise I will mist water or add toner on my face prior to applying hyaluronic acid. Followed by a layer or two of moisturiser, then sunscreen. Then I may spray filtered water on my face from time to time when I'm in an air-conditioning room or outside when it's dry and cold. It helps to keep my skin moisturised whole day.
I am loving how informative these videos are! I’m a visual person so the little words popups are very helpful! I will continue watching! I just subscribed!
I was led here by your hyaluronic acid video to learn the types of occlusive agents. I always put my hyaluronic acid on before a rosehip oil+vitamin C serum and my sunscreen/moisturizer....turns out those two have occludents in them! So I'm safe 😁. To be fair I live in the Caribbean so the air is quite literally never as dry as it can get in North America, so I don't have to worry about the hyaluronic acid serum dehydrating me.
Take it from me who washes my hands before and after every client and working with acids. I use the yu be cream with slightly moist skin and then wear gloves when I go to bed.
And we have another winner, Christy. I was having fits with chapped lips last week and ordered some of that Yu-Be advanced formula and it worked almost over night. It's a keeper in my house. Thanks again!
Christy please tell me the name of the video that is the follow up to the hyalauronic acid video, where you were going to talk about which occlusive to use over HA. I can’t seem to find it. Thsnks
Yes. The drier the climate, the more likely your hands will experience Trans Epidermal Water loss and your skins moisture barrier is compromised. Always use a humectant to add moisture to the skin. Occlusives will only keep moisture in IF you already have moisture in your skin. ; )
Just found your channel and you blessed my life so much. I've just never understood skincare but all your videos are very educational and interesting. Thank you!!!💖💖💖
Really helpful and informative video! I’m new to your channel, and am super impressed by this video. I love your knowledge, and you break everything down so it’s easy to understand. I’m going to subscribe immediately:)) Thanks, love🍃🌸.
Thank you @goseechristy I loved that you said skincare is a science it’s so true! I’ve been struggling to find a good balance in my skincare routine since I’ve been diagnosed with rosacea. It’s been a difficult struggle and I am so happy to have found your channel. You are definitely passionate & it shows! Thank you again for being so informative
Just subscribed! So informative, I have so much to learn. I'm currently using hyaluronic acid and CeraVe moisturizing cream. Wonder if I should add vitamin c or anything else!? Thank you for the videos
I’m loving the knowledge you provide on your videos!! I want to watch the “following “ video to this one in regards to Occlusive agents but I can’t find it?? Please help.....😁. And Happy New Year!!
Hi Gwen, this explains but it if you want one for dry and mature skin here is one to help you understand better. th-cam.com/video/EWf9UiW2scM/w-d-xo.html. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank u so much for the informative video. Can u give me the name list of best skin care item( cleanser, serum,toner, moisturizer,sunscreen, eye cream and nighttime face cream) for mid 30’s woman with little bit hyper pigmentation!
Hey Christy. What about cholesterol, fatty acids and ceramides. These 3 oils are said to be needed. Do you know a product with these 3 ingredients in it? Thanks.
Loving the videos! Question! - Would I be correct in suggesting that using Hyaluronic Acid followed by natural Aloe Vera Gel straight from the leaf (as the Humectants?) and then sealed with pure Shea Butter (as the Occlusive Agent?) may be a good skin care option to heal damaged skin?
Go See Christy Hi Christy thanks so much for your reply! I was asking in relation to skin care after a peel or derma-rolling for example? To help skin re grow and heal...?
Hi Heidi, I initially avoided naming products because : 1. People from all over the world were watching and not all the products I mentioned were available. 2. I wanted people to know that I am NOT being endorsed by any product line. 3. When I started getting comments from people to start recommending products, I started to recommend products that I have used on my clients personally. 4. I learned that is what people wanted. So now, I am recommending products that after evaluating their ingredients list, I may or may not recommend. Most of the ones I have looked at, don’t even pass the ingredients test. 5. Thank you for watching and giving me feedback. I have started to recommend products. At the end of the video, I did recommend some products (that way, if people are not interested, they can just watch the beginning part). 😉
I recently started using hyaluronic acid serum (The Ordinary's) and I don't think I get all the benefits from it. I live in a dry climate so from what I understand it's important that I apply an occlusive agents after the serum. However, whenever I put lotion on top of the layer of serum, the hyaluronic acid sort of peels/rolls off the skin. How do I use hyaluronic acid correctly? Is there a certain type of lotion/cream/oil that works with it? Thank you for the great video!
Thank you, V for watching and asking a great question. I don't think I have ever seen this. Are you exfoliating? This could be dead skin. It also could be that the Hyaluronic Acid Serum may be mixed with other antioxidants or other active ingredients. If it is mainly JUST Hyaluronic Acid, this should not be happening. The other active ingredients may be reacting with your lotion. To avoid counteracting ingredients by mixing too many together, I recommend using a Hyaluronic Acid serum on clean dry skin and while your skin is still moist from the serum, spray a hydrating toner and while your face is still moist, then quickly apply your moisturizer to seal in the moisture. If the serum is simply a hyaluronic acid serum it should work well with any lotion or moisturizer.
@@GoSeeChristy I tried this and it worked perfectly fine, thank you so much!! I also changed my moisturizer to a more lightweight, watery one. Maybe it's that hyaluronic acid don't go well with heavy creams and oils...
When you put on the HA serum do you pat it in until it dries? If you do, it could also be an ingredient in your lotion balling up. I don’t move on to the next step after HA until it is almost 100% absorbed and slightly tacky.
I use the same HA and was having the same issue at first. What I found was 2 things. 1 my skin wasn't wet enough when applying and 2, I was using too much. You really only need a pea sized amount on reallly damp almost wet skin. Hope this helps you. ☺
Christy I have purchased many oils and I have 3 bottles of rose oil, that smells so beautiful. I also got the rose hip oil and coconut joboba oil. None of these oils Penetrate into my oil. In fact, I think it's drying my skin out. What can I do to make my skin heal? Thanks C
HI Catherine, this is because oils are occlusive and do not add any moisture to the skin. They can help enrich really dry skin with essential fatty acids. A good moisturizer will have a good blend of humectants, essential fatty acids, emollients and occlusives to help the skin . Here are some recommendations of some products that may help your skin depending on your skin condition and skin type. If your skin is dry, sensitive, inflammed then here is a great one. goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a IF your skin would like one with antioxidants and has a good balance of humectants, emollients, ceramides, essential fatty acids, and antioxidant: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a
Another great vid! Is it a good idea to apply the hyalauranic acid serum on damp skin or not necessary? Also does it matter if you apply the moisturizer before or after Retin A? Do you have a specific product recommendation for a moisturizer that has the balance of ingredients you mentioned? 🤩
Hi Miss Bella Rose, Hyaluronic acid will do best on moist skin. Even better would be to use they Hyaluronic Acid serum with a spray toner that has glycerin and sodium pca to get that deep hydration that you cant with just moisture. Retin A is always recommended to go directly on the skin . This Friday will have some recommended products and why. I think you are listening to us plan our videos as you seem to ask questions that are right in line with our upcoming videos!! 😉😄
So glad I’ve found your channel!! I’m wondering, if I am using a product that won’t let, or minimizes letting moisture out, how does it then let moisture IN?? Like if I use a humidifier at night but I’ve used a product to block moisture loss it would seem that the moisture wouldn’t be absorbed either?? Thank you so much!!
Hi Gwen, thank you for watching. First, let's say that you spray your face with a hydrating mist, then while your face is still moist, you apply a HA serum, the you apply a moisturizing cream that has an occlusive agent. Typically, if you are using a good moisturizing product, it will have a good blend of humectant, emollients and occlusives. Because of the balance of them, if you decide that you want to use a humidifier, the moisture from that will still be attracted to the humectants. Humectants are drawn to the moisture and occlusives keep it from being evaporated. Hope that helps.
@@GoSeeChristy Oh boy this gets tricky!!! I am so glad I found you! I’ve told all my girlfriends about your channel! Very much appreciated you getting back to me, that is rare.......👍🥰. Bless you and stay safe!
Hi Gwen, thank you so much! I don't always get back to my comments because there are so many, I don't even see all of them. Because I am so busy with clients, I have to allot a certain amount of time to responding and then the rest, I may not even see. ; )
Hello. The Yu Be hydration cream, can that product be used as an occlusive over an HA serum? Or, is the cream considered a humectant? Can you suggest a good occlusive cream? Many thanks, appreciate the info you are sharing.
Hi LIsa, thank you for watching. Glycerin is in many, many products and usually high up on the lists of lotions and creams, Depending on if you are lacking water that is leading to dehydration or if you are lacking oils (lipids) . Many confuse these two. Here is a video that helps you determine if you have dehydrated vs dry skin: th-cam.com/video/XxjTYey7nwk/w-d-xo.html This other video talks about which TYPE of cream to use: (it refers to perpetually dry hands but you can also refer to your skin. th-cam.com/video/eU-ilT2tF20/w-d-xo.html
Hi Neil, thank you so much for watching my videos and asking a well thought out question! If the label actually lists the active ingredients for uv protection such as Zinc Oxide, Titanium Oxide or Avovenzone etc, and has the SPF listed then it does. To answer your next question, micro encapsulated sun filters greatly depends in what exactly is inside.
Hi christy, great video. I have a question about HA, i hv been using HA from last 1 n half week and observed small red bumps on my forehead also i leave in a dry state and hv dry skin. I usually exfoliate skin with mild scrub and use rosehip oil during night time and HA with moisturizer on damp skin during day tym. Am i dng anything wrong. pls help. ❤️
Someone else just asked me about having red bumps using HA serum. Does the serum also have anti aging ingredients or just HA? If your skin is getting dry with just using HA that is because you may not be using occlusive agents to keep the moisture in. In my HA video, I talk about how the Beauty Industry doesn’t really talk about how HA can dehydrate your skin if you have no moisture from the environment.
All oils are occlusives. The difference between the two essential oils are their properties. For example, Geranium would be for acne as it reduces inflammation and has some microbial reducing properties. Rose Hip Oil would be better suited for anti aging properties.
Hi Cherie, thank you for watching! It is different for everyones skin but if you wake up with your skin feeling dry when you applied moisturizer the night before, this means the air is too dry.
Hi David, thank you so much for watching and asking a great question! Fragrance can make some people develop dermatitis or make their skin reactive. Fragrance free is better in the winter time too. However, if your skin doesn’t seem to react to fragrances then go ahead and try them. Essential oil scented is also better . 👍
Oils are great because they can add emollients to the skin to make the skin smoother. They can also add essential fatty acids to the skin. However, they do not add hydration to the skin. Oils are occlusive agents so they keep moisture from evaporating from the skin. If you need to add more moisture, then using ingredients such ad glycerin or HA can help increase moisture on the skin.
Hey there, Lex! Yes! Thank you for the suggestion. Please tel me what lip products you are using and I can go through the jngredients list ! Please let me know if your lips are peeling or cracking too . There is a treatment for that!
@@GoSeeChristy Just chapstick usually. Occasionally during the day i'll use a tinted chapstick. I use the softlips brand or the EOS brand. My lips do peel occasionally and feel tight and like they are going to split.
Hi there, Miss Lex! This tells me that you are using products that have waxes and oils that are occlusive but not adding any moisture to the skin. You need one that can keep the skin hydrated and seal in the moisture.
It may exacerbate some skin conditions if over done. People with Rosacea or prone to redness should not use the steamer OR keep it at a distance and use it for only a short amount of time.
So is the the follow up video to the hyaluronic acid ..so what moisturizer product do I add to hyaluronic for it to absorb in my skin ? So confused.. thanks
This depends on if you are break out prone or your focus is on anti aging. If you are currently using Retin A or Retinol or you have just had a procedure done such as laser or you have sensitive skin prone to redness, then this one may be better for you: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a If you are focusing on anti aging, this one has a blend of humectants, occlusives, essential fatty acids, and anti oxidants. goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/md-dermaceutical-overnight-repair-cream
The link is broken to the dry vs. Dehydrated skin video. And would you please tell us which products work for dehydrated skin. I live in Arizona. Thank you!
Hi there, here are some suggestions: IF you have are using any type of ingredient that may cause your skin to exfoliate faster (aha, Retinol, Retin A,etc), have sensitive skin, had procedures done on the face or just want a moisturizer that really helps add AND seal in moisture while decreasing redness or inflammation here is a great one: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a If you would like a moisturizer that has a balance of humectants, ceramides, essential fatty acids, occlusives and some anti aging properties this one works great: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a Both are paraben free, fragrance free the latter one is for anti aging ( may not be for some who are break out prone). If you would like to increase your skins own ability to hold onto moisture and you would like the increase of efficacy in anti aging properties then this toner works very well with both moisturizers ( goseechristybeauty.com/products/botanical-bio-peptide-toner I personally use this not only in the treatment room but also on myself.
Hi L OL, thank you for watching. This depends on what you are measuring it against. IF you are measuring it as far as the water binding capacity, then HA holds more than glycerin. However, some people say that glycerin works better for them. It depends on the person but as far as moisture binding capacity, HA beats glycerin.
Most oils are occlusive,. Petroleum, and mineral oil are also occlusive but are known to break people out. If you have oily skin or do not want break outs, look for more water dispersable oils such as grapeseed oil or jojoba oil (really a wax).
Hi Christy!new subscriber here^^ i was wondering, since its so much info and its hard to take it all in at once, if its okay to use a hyaluronic acid lotion (hada labo) and wait a couple of minutes to let it sink and then put vaseline on top of that as a mask and sleep with a cool air humidifier? I am in my early 30's and where I live there is a lot of pullution (seoul). What type of toner and serums would you recomend?
Hi Mary, thank you for asking. This depends greatly on what type of skin you have. For example, if you tend to have dry, sensitive skin ( or are using products that make your skin more sensitive prone such as Retin A or Retinol the this one is a great one: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a IF you prefer one for anti aging and you are NOT break out prone this one is a great one: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/md-dermaceutical-overnight-repair-cream
I am from India. Its hot here. I have an oily skin. Can you tell me some moisturizer brands which are good humectants and that can be used on top of Hyaluronic acid?
I would look for water based moisturizers vs oil based moisturizers. If your skin is oily, your face may break out . Your skin doesn't not need more oil if your skin is oily, it needs more water.
If you are looking for a day moisturizer then I am going to recommend one with a SPF to help protect your skin. This sunscreen moisturizer is a mineral based sunscreen so it does not containtany chemical sunscreen. It also has a high amount of humectants along with peptides, and antioxidants and plant based lighteners and brighteners to help even out skin tone. goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/lira-clinical-hydrating-anti-aging-sunscreen
mam plzzzzz plzzz plzzz give me a solution for my open pores and extremely sewaty face on makeup or evn on putting sunscreen ,,i sweat like hell n putting makeup on an occasion is a nightmare for me,,,, also should we use sunscreens or not,,my sisters not using any sunscreens have much better skin than me ,, more fair more clear n no issue of sweating n pores,,,plzzzzzz help me
Hi, thank you for watching. Have you checked to see if you have hyperhydrosis? You can try translucent powder after sunsceen and before make up application but by the way you are describing this, it sounds like you more of a perspiring issue. Is this only on your face?
@@GoSeeChristy yes mam its only on face....n most when i put any cream/sunscreen or makeup... Especially on head,upperlips and hairline Nothng much on underarms or palms...
hi, what occlusive agents can we add to our hyaluronic acid in order not to draw moisture from our skin? waxes, silicone or vegetable oils? before or after the HA? aren't they very heavy?
This depends on how prone to break outs your skin is. The occlusive agents go on AFTER the humectants. Drier, older skin tend to do better with oils and creams, and break out prone skin tend to not like waxes. Sensitive skin may not like silicones. Everyone is different. 👍
I welcomed your treasured channel. I have one question. Could I mix to humactans moisturise cream or tonic 2-3 oils drops for enrichment for example rather coconut oil or jojoba or any kind of seeds oil? Doesn't interupt waterbinding process from outside by creating some oil layer? THANKS FOR YOUR SINCER RESPONSE...
So by stripping the top - protective - layer of my skin by using Retin A, am I effectively removing the ceramides, urea, and other protective properties? Can the epidermis hold these properties if I add them via lotions and potions? I now use Nivea Soft, which, in a recent BBC documentary called The Truth About Beauty, tested three top selling moisturisers; cheap, mid-priced, and so-called high-end. Nivea Soft retained more moisture in the skin than the high-end one, as glycerin is the second ingredient on the list after water. As body moisturiser, my favourites are E45, which I buy in the U.K. and The Body Shop's Buffy bar for any really dry parts, such as knees and heels. As for eczema, another recent BBC documentary, Trust Me I'm a Doctor, investigated a pioneering study in the treatment against eczema and showed how most eczema (or neurodermatitis)can be effectively treated. I purchased this miracle cure, and, low and behold, it worked like magic on my daughter. Here's an excerpt from the programme. Click on the video about eczema, which is just over 8 minutes long. The research and treatment was carried out in Holland, and the product is called Gladskin. It's all about bacteria - or excess thereof: www.gladskin.com/en/eczema
I talk about this (not in regards to eczema) in this video and how important Probiotics are for the skin: th-cam.com/video/h2ZgACoDXkI/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for sharing this! I watched the video! I will doing one soon in regards to Eczema! ; )
Most ingredients you are telling us are known to us where to find it. Can you give us an idea of which products we can get it? You are expert to this but us is not that familiar what you are recommending.
Here are some suggestions based on what my clients have had success with. It was in the video towards the end of the video. IF you would like a moisturizer that is a good blend of humectants, emollients, and occlusives and you have dry, sensitive skin this moisturizer is fragrance free : goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a IF you would like one where it also has added essential fatty acids and ceramides and antioxidants: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/md-dermaceutical-overnight-repair-cream
Ian, if you must but hand sanitizers have shown that it mostly moves the bacteria around and simply just reduces the amount of bacteria that is on the skin. It is better than nothing though. 😉 5 year old hands can be sticky.... I get it!! 👍
POP QUIZ! What type of ingredients are the most likely to clog pores?? If you watched the video, you will know!
petrolium!
Yup. You got it Heather! Petroleum it is...and for some perservatives! Great job! ; )
Is Petrolatum the same ingredient?
And yet petroleum is one of the few ingredients that doesn't break me out. Go figure....
What would recommend for individuals with more melanin that have dry skin??
I have extremely dry skin so what I usually do is I will apply hyaluronic acid straight to my skin while it's damp otherwise I will mist water or add toner on my face prior to applying hyaluronic acid. Followed by a layer or two of moisturiser, then sunscreen. Then I may spray filtered water on my face from time to time when I'm in an air-conditioning room or outside when it's dry and cold. It helps to keep my skin moisturised whole day.

I don't find it's so bad in Australia but in other countries where it snows or stays around 0 degrees my hands get very dry!
Yes. The drier the climate, the more likely your hands will experience Trans Epidermal Water loss and your skins moisture barrier is compromised. Always use a humectant to add moisture to the skin. Occlusives will only keep moisture in IF you already have moisture in your skin. ; )

Even better would be to use they Hyaluronic Acid serum with a spray toner that has glycerin and sodium pca to get that deep hydration that you cant with just moisture. Retin A is always recommended to go directly on the skin . This Friday will have some recommended products and why. I think you are listening to us plan our videos as you seem to ask questions that are right in line with our upcoming videos!! 😉😄
Very helpful! Tnx!
So glad I’ve found your channel!! I’m wondering, if I am using a product that won’t let, or minimizes letting moisture out, how does it then let moisture IN?? Like if I use a humidifier at night but I’ve used a product to block moisture loss it would seem that the moisture wouldn’t be absorbed either?? Thank you so much!!
Hi Gwen, thank you for watching. First, let's say that you spray your face with a hydrating mist, then while your face is still moist, you apply a HA serum, the you apply a moisturizing cream that has an occlusive agent. Typically, if you are using a good moisturizing product, it will have a good blend of humectant, emollients and occlusives. Because of the balance of them, if you decide that you want to use a humidifier, the moisture from that will still be attracted to the humectants. Humectants are drawn to the moisture and occlusives keep it from being evaporated. Hope that helps.
@@GoSeeChristy Oh boy this gets tricky!!! I am so glad I found you! I’ve told all my girlfriends about your channel! Very much appreciated you getting back to me, that is rare.......👍🥰. Bless you and stay safe!
Hi Gwen, thank you so much! I don't always get back to my comments because there are so many, I don't even see all of them. Because I am so busy with clients, I have to allot a certain amount of time to responding and then the rest, I may not even see. ; )
You’re not recommending any specific creams and /or other products and brands? Please advise
Hello. The Yu Be hydration cream, can that product be used as an occlusive over an HA serum? Or, is the cream considered a humectant? Can you suggest a good occlusive cream? Many thanks, appreciate the info you are sharing.
Is there substitute for niacinamide? I really want to add niacinamide into my routine but it causes redness to my skin. Thank you 😊
Hi Dr Christy, Thanks so very much for all you do for us skin geeks. I have a question. Are ALL alpha hydroxy acids considered a humectant?
Hi Truthseeker, Lactic acid has humectifying properties but they are not in the category of humectants.
So if I have dry skin on my face how do I incorporate glycerin that u mentioned in prior video
Hi LIsa, thank you for watching. Glycerin is in many, many products and usually high up on the lists of lotions and creams, Depending on if you are lacking water that is leading to dehydration or if you are lacking oils (lipids) . Many confuse these two. Here is a video that helps you determine if you have dehydrated vs dry skin: th-cam.com/video/XxjTYey7nwk/w-d-xo.html
This other video talks about which TYPE of cream to use: (it refers to perpetually dry hands but you can also refer to your skin. th-cam.com/video/eU-ilT2tF20/w-d-xo.html
My moisturiser contains microencapsulated uv filters. Do i need to use a separate sunscreen? Also are microencapsulated sun filters more stable?
Hi Neil, thank you so much for watching my videos and asking a well thought out question! If the label actually lists the active ingredients for uv protection such as Zinc Oxide, Titanium Oxide or Avovenzone etc, and has the SPF listed then it does. To answer your next question, micro encapsulated sun filters greatly depends in what exactly is inside.
Go See Christy thanks
Thank you for asking a great question! : )
Hi christy, great video. I have a question about HA, i hv been using HA from last 1 n half week and observed small red bumps on my forehead also i leave in a dry state and hv dry skin. I usually exfoliate skin with mild scrub and use rosehip oil during night time and HA with moisturizer on damp skin during day tym. Am i dng anything wrong. pls help. ❤️
Someone else just asked me about having red bumps using HA serum. Does the serum also have anti aging ingredients or just HA? If your skin is getting dry with just using HA that is because you may not be using occlusive agents to keep the moisture in. In my HA video, I talk about how the Beauty Industry doesn’t really talk about how HA can dehydrate your skin if you have no moisture from the environment.
Would you catagorize Geranium and/or Rose Hip essential oils as occlusives that would work well with a humectant?
All oils are occlusives. The difference between the two essential oils are their properties. For example, Geranium would be for acne as it reduces inflammation and has some microbial reducing properties. Rose Hip Oil would be better suited for anti aging properties.
@@GoSeeChristy Ah, I understand. Thank you! :)
What is ideal humidity for inside
Hi Cherie, thank you for watching! It is different for everyones skin but if you wake up with your skin feeling dry when you applied moisturizer the night before, this means the air is too dry.
Hi. Thank you for all the information. Should I always go for fragrance free moisturisers?
Hi David, thank you so much for watching and asking a great question! Fragrance can make some people develop dermatitis or make their skin reactive. Fragrance free is better in the winter time too. However, if your skin doesn’t seem to react to fragrances then go ahead and try them. Essential oil scented is also better . 👍
Go See Christy thanks a lot for replying.
Thank you, for watching! I appreciate your support!
Can I use olive oil thanks
Oils are great because they can add emollients to the skin to make the skin smoother. They can also add essential fatty acids to the skin. However, they do not add hydration to the skin. Oils are occlusive agents so they keep moisture from evaporating from the skin. If you need to add more moisture, then using ingredients such ad glycerin or HA can help increase moisture on the skin.
Lately I used hand sanitizer a lot.. and I do realized my fingers get dry badly.. 😣😣😣
Petroleum’s clog pores! Christy, can you do a video on care for lips?? Mine are sooo bad during the winter
Hey there, Lex! Yes! Thank you for the suggestion. Please tel me what lip products you are using and I can go through the jngredients list ! Please let me know if your lips are peeling or cracking too . There is a treatment for that!
@@GoSeeChristy Just chapstick usually. Occasionally during the day i'll use a tinted chapstick. I use the softlips brand or the EOS brand. My lips do peel occasionally and feel tight and like they are going to split.
Hi there, Miss Lex! This tells me that you are using products that have waxes and oils that are occlusive but not adding any moisture to the skin. You need one that can keep the skin hydrated and seal in the moisture.
Is La Roche Posay: Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer okay?
Ingredients are ok..not great. By the way, prebiotic thermal water is a gimmick.
Does a face sauna generally help change ur skin condition? Greetings from germany 🤗
It may exacerbate some skin conditions if over done. People with Rosacea or prone to redness should not use the steamer OR keep it at a distance and use it for only a short amount of time.
So is the the follow up video to the hyaluronic acid ..so what moisturizer product do I add to hyaluronic for it to absorb in my skin ? So confused.. thanks
This depends on if you are break out prone or your focus is on anti aging.
If you are currently using Retin A or Retinol or you have just had a procedure done such as laser or you have sensitive skin prone to redness, then this one may be better for you:
goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a
If you are focusing on anti aging, this one has a blend of humectants, occlusives, essential fatty acids, and anti oxidants.
goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/md-dermaceutical-overnight-repair-cream
Go See Christy Thanks for responding, however I fine the suggestion mighty pricey 😌
The link is broken to the dry vs. Dehydrated skin video. And would you please tell us which products work for dehydrated skin. I live in Arizona. Thank you!
Hi there, here are some suggestions:
IF you have are using any type of ingredient that may cause your skin to exfoliate faster (aha, Retinol, Retin A,etc), have sensitive skin, had procedures done on the face or just want a moisturizer that really helps add AND seal in moisture while decreasing redness or inflammation here is a great one: goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a
If you would like a moisturizer that has a balance of humectants, ceramides, essential fatty acids, occlusives and some anti aging properties this one works great:
goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a
Both are paraben free, fragrance free the latter one is for anti aging ( may not be for some who are break out prone).
If you would like to increase your skins own ability to hold onto moisture and you would like the increase of efficacy in anti aging properties then this toner works very well with both moisturizers ( goseechristybeauty.com/products/botanical-bio-peptide-toner
I personally use this not only in the treatment room but also on myself.
if i use pure glycerin on my skin and then put a cheap cream with mineral oil will it be effective?
You would need to add moisture to your skin, then add the HA serum then add the cream on top.
@@GoSeeChristy thank you so much.
Is hyaluronic acid superior than glycerin?
Hi L OL, thank you for watching. This depends on what you are measuring it against. IF you are measuring it as far as the water binding capacity, then HA holds more than glycerin. However, some people say that glycerin works better for them. It depends on the person but as far as moisture binding capacity, HA beats glycerin.
Which ingredients come into occlusive agent list ?
Most oils are occlusive,. Petroleum, and mineral oil are also occlusive but are known to break people out. If you have oily skin or do not want break outs, look for more water dispersable oils such as grapeseed oil or jojoba oil (really a wax).
@@GoSeeChristy thanks for your help,guidance, advice and time .
Hi Christy!new subscriber here^^ i was wondering, since its so much info and its hard to take it all in at once, if its okay to use a hyaluronic acid lotion (hada labo) and wait a couple of minutes to let it sink and then put vaseline on top of that as a mask and sleep with a cool air humidifier? I am in my early 30's and where I live there is a lot of pullution (seoul). What type of toner and serums would you recomend?
Hi Josie, please don't use Valseline. Vaseline has no added benefit to your skin. It does not contain any nutrients to the skin.
Can you give us some name products for us to buy.
Hi Mary, thank you for asking. This depends greatly on what type of skin you have.
For example, if you tend to have dry, sensitive skin ( or are using products that make your skin more sensitive prone such as Retin A or Retinol the this one is a great one:
goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/post-treatment-cream-moisturizer-can-use-with-retin-a
IF you prefer one for anti aging and you are NOT break out prone this one is a great one:
goseechristybeauty.com/collections/moisturizers/products/md-dermaceutical-overnight-repair-cream
I am from India. Its hot here. I have an oily skin. Can you tell me some moisturizer brands which are good humectants and that can be used on top of Hyaluronic acid?
I would look for water based moisturizers vs oil based moisturizers. If your skin is oily, your face may break out . Your skin doesn't not need more oil if your skin is oily, it needs more water.
can you list actual creams that do not clog but moisturize the skin , face, during the day
If you are looking for a day moisturizer then I am going to recommend one with a SPF to help protect your skin.
This sunscreen moisturizer is a mineral based sunscreen so it does not containtany chemical sunscreen. It also has a high amount of humectants along with peptides, and antioxidants and plant based lighteners and brighteners to help even out skin tone.

Go See Christy I am sorry Christy, I am living in New York , Brooklyn.
My skin is dehydrated!
If your skin is dehydrated , then you know now to get humectants! Great job! 👍 Thank you for watching and commenting. 🥰
My skin gets very dry. Can kids use this?
They can use the Yu-Be! It is fragrance free and it lis no other moisturizer I have tried! 👍
mam plzzzzz plzzz plzzz give me a solution for my open pores and extremely sewaty face on makeup or evn on putting sunscreen ,,i sweat like hell n putting makeup on an occasion is a nightmare for me,,,, also should we use sunscreens or not,,my sisters not using any sunscreens have much better skin than me ,, more fair more clear n no issue of sweating n pores,,,plzzzzzz help me
Hi, thank you for watching. Have you checked to see if you have hyperhydrosis? You can try translucent powder after sunsceen and before make up application but by the way you are describing this, it sounds like you more of a perspiring issue. Is this only on your face?
@@GoSeeChristy yes mam its only on face....n most when i put any cream/sunscreen or makeup... Especially on head,upperlips and hairline Nothng much on underarms or palms...
This is awesome new to your channel😍✌️
Thank you Mary!
hi, what occlusive agents can we add to our hyaluronic acid in order not to draw moisture from our skin? waxes, silicone or vegetable oils? before or after the HA? aren't they very heavy?
This depends on how prone to break outs your skin is. The occlusive agents go on AFTER the humectants. Drier, older skin tend to do better with oils and creams, and break out prone skin tend to not like waxes. Sensitive skin may not like silicones. Everyone is different. 👍
I welcomed your treasured channel. I have one question. Could I mix to humactans moisturise cream or tonic 2-3 oils drops for enrichment for example rather coconut oil or jojoba or any kind of seeds oil? Doesn't interupt waterbinding process from outside by creating some oil layer?
THANKS FOR YOUR SINCER RESPONSE...
Hi Yelena, this depends on the product and a lighter oil would be better but if the lotion already has oil, I would not add anymore.
Go See Christy thanks Christy!
ONE MORE TIME - IT IS VERY GREAT CHANNEL I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS :)
So by stripping the top - protective - layer of my skin by using Retin A, am I effectively removing the ceramides, urea, and other protective properties? Can the epidermis hold these properties if I add them via lotions and potions? I now use Nivea Soft, which, in a recent BBC documentary called The Truth About Beauty, tested three top selling moisturisers; cheap, mid-priced, and so-called high-end. Nivea Soft retained more moisture in the skin than the high-end one, as glycerin is the second ingredient on the list after water. As body moisturiser, my favourites are E45, which I buy in the U.K. and The Body Shop's Buffy bar for any really dry parts, such as knees and heels. As for eczema, another recent BBC documentary, Trust Me I'm a Doctor, investigated a pioneering study in the treatment against eczema and showed how most eczema (or neurodermatitis)can be effectively treated. I purchased this miracle cure, and, low and behold, it worked like magic on my daughter. Here's an excerpt from the programme. Click on the video about eczema, which is just over 8 minutes long. The research and treatment was carried out in Holland, and the product is called Gladskin. It's all about bacteria - or excess thereof: www.gladskin.com/en/eczema
I talk about this (not in regards to eczema) in this video and how important Probiotics are for the skin: th-cam.com/video/h2ZgACoDXkI/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for sharing this! I watched the video! I will doing one soon in regards to Eczema! ; )
Most ingredients you are telling us are known to us where to find it. Can you give us an idea of which products we can get it? You are expert to this but us is not that familiar what you are recommending.
I mean not known to us???
Here are some suggestions based on what my clients have had success with. It was in the video towards the end of the video.
IF you would like a moisturizer that is a good blend of humectants, emollients, and occlusives and you have dry, sensitive skin this moisturizer is fragrance free :

cracked skin is no fun
No. Especially when it is on your hands. ; ( Thank you for watching and commenting!
👍👍🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🇩🇪🇩🇪
Coconut oil
You should not use coconut oil it has large molecular size it will block your pores
BUT, I NEED hand sanitizers -- I have a 5-year-old 👶
Ian, if you must but hand sanitizers have shown that it mostly moves the bacteria around and simply just reduces the amount of bacteria that is on the skin. It is better than nothing though. 😉 5 year old hands can be sticky.... I get it!! 👍
Dude. Three choices.
1) shop ingredients
2) get a dog
3) get another kid
:D
