Thank you for keeping us company during these tough days. I live in Italy and I really struggle to not think about the situation, but you help with that for a few minutes! Sending love to you and hoping everything’s fine ❤️
JP M I can’t tell for sure, but yes, slowly things are getting better. I live near Venice, really near to the epicenter, and I see that the cases are everyday, really slowly, decreasing. Btw too much people have died. I hope you can keep it under control in the US. A lot of people really did understimate it here (as citizens) so please stay home. Thank you too for caring ❤️
Only positive thing about social distancing is it brought me to your channel! Thanks for taking my mind off of things and helping with my post-quarantine glow up!
James, just out of curiosity have you ever heard of something called Bakuchiol? It’s supposed to be similar to retinol but not as harsh on the skin? I was just reading about it on google and seen that Burt’s Bees has something with that in it. Just wondering, and by the way I love you and your brother!
why does that shirt look like its Robert's (don't mean to offend! but it really just looks so much like his style and I'm surprised to see it on you! but it looks good!)
I hadn't heard of the SOME BY ME cleanser, but I started using the 30 day miracle toner a few months ago along with my other routine products and my skin is the best it's ever been. I thought it was going to be a gimmicky product as well, and that I would react severely and have money down the drain, but for once to my surprise an impulse product purchase has become my new favorite part of my routine. I've struggled with hypersensitive skin and acne my whole life, and for some reason their toner works well for me. I just use it once a day when I wash with my usual face wash and then use the toner in the morning before applying my daily moisturizer and it has worked wonders.
The reason why the SOME BY MI Toner made your hypersensitive and acne prone skin so good is because it has BHA/AHA. These specific ingredients are really helpful for your skin type, especially acne and soothing down the skin.
I love the Some By Mi cleanser hahaha. I don't use it as a "blackhead eraser" though. I have a lot of trouble with hormonal acne on my chin and an aesthetician recommended adding a cleanser with salicylic acid or sulfur once or twice a week. It's a great addition to my skincare regime!
I hope not everything ends up with birch "juice" in it. My Mum is highly allergic to tree sap, to the point that she can't read a magazine without gloves (because of the coating on the paper) and has to avoid touching new clothes that haven't been washed (due to the finishing spray used on clothing to prevent deterioration in storage). Tree resins and saps are a high allergen unfortunately.. 😔😕 All that said: fab video as always James!! xXx 😎🖤🖤🖤🖤
Among my many subscribed channels, you're the only one related to makeup or COSMETICS in general, for that matter. I absolutely have no idea why I LOVE watching your videos but I do. Huge respect to you!!
whaaaat the Neogen micro serum is holy grail status for me! As someone who has dry skin, I found it to be nourishing and it always leaves my skin with a dewy finish- never sticky. (I just wish the price-point was lower.) Thanks for another upload James, hope you’re doing well in quarantine 🤓
At first I didn’t like the Neogen serum, than winter came and I applied it on very damp face and omg it was beautiful. I’m starting to love it after being in my fridge for 4 months.
I use Bye bye blackhead and it's incredible. The result is awesome. It seems like this product helps special type of skin idk. I have a problematic skin and effect is great
FYI, in the comics, Lucifer has a twin brother. Cracks me up thinking of an alternate universe where Lucifer is a makeup artist (bc he loved the eyeliner for a few seasons).
Omigosh I can't believe these two have no merchandising going on. There's at least one tshirt worthy line in every video from them! Life's just better with them in it. They are just loves!! 🖤🖤
I've tried both physical and chemical exfoliators and what I like about physicals is that you have more control - you know how hard you can scrub, which motions to do, etc. My skin is super sensitive and redness-prone and I think I prefer gentle physical exfoliators.
Yessss!!! I'm so glad you mentioned a physical exfoliator bc my skin is sometimes too sensitive for a chemical exfoliator. I just purchased the Mad Hippie Exfoliating mask a few days ago at Whole Foods so I will see how that goes. Next, I want to try Holifrog and Skinceuticals.
After following your advice for a year, I went though my skin products finally to determine what was causing my situation. I have always had pretty good skin face. I don't have dark areas or blemishes but do have dry areas and dullness. Most of my routine is to get moisture infused and hopefully a natural glow. I used a makeup melting balm, a cleaning cream to wash, hydrating toner, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C or A serum, rose hip essence, and a hydrating moisturizer. Without fail I look red and have a slight burning sensation about 2 minutes after I'm done. Now that I'm stuck indoors (except when I go to my elderly clients homes to feed, bathe, clothe, or help them get exercise) I been using each product alone that didn't help, then I doubled them differently each night starting with the toner and this was what the problem was. I'm not sure the reason, but the hydrating toner is what caused the burning and redness but only after I applied a product over top. I'm not sure how to figure out what ingredient is the blame though have to take the entire product out of my routine. I need a bit of assistance on how to figure this situation out because I don't want to risk any sudden issues from not having a toner😔 I hope this post makes sense.
Look at the ingredients list in the toner! There could be something in there that is irritating your skin. Additionally, retinol (vitamin A) and Vitamin C are both sensitizing ingredients, so they could be making you more vulnerable to whatever is in the toner that is irritating your skin! Common culprits are alcohol, fragrance, and essential oils. Also, I want to add that toner isn't necessary! I love mine, and James loves his, but not having a toner in your routine won't cause any problems, so that's not something you need to worry about!
A good resource for what ingredients can be irritating is cosdna.com! It's a crowdsourced database of what products have what ingredients. Once you look up the product, it'll give you a breakdown of what's in it as well as information on each ingredient and its purpose. Take a look at what it says about your toner, and if it's not in there, you can look up each individual ingredient on the website to learn more about them!
Last time I was this early to something, it was 1996 and I was queuing for a Backstreet Boys concert 😁🙌🏻 thanks for the video, learning a lot about birch juice 😄
I use the Some by Mi cleanser and I love it but i just use it as a foaming cleanser, I feel like it works best leave on for 1 min or just gentle massage and rinse off, it's not as dry and my skin always feels great after
I absolutely LOVE your vlogs!!!! Thank you for being a male with REAL skincare tips and recommendations... Looking for lip balm options... Do you have any recommendations?
Not to step on james' neck but jenluvsreviews has a great but long 2 part video on lip balm. She really breaks down ingredients and goes through a lot of popular balms and tells you if it's what you're looking for ingredient wise.
I have normal to dry skin, 64 yo...... I use the Neogen Essence and Serum and my skin has never been so dewy and bright, I live in South Australia, the driest state on the driest continent.. my skin care saviour. Love the channel.
What a beautiful voice! I love all your videos, you’re always so honest and sooo dedicated. Very informative as well, thank you. Sending love from Philippines 🙏
Hi James. Hope you are well. I love that neogen serum and I have oily dehydrated skin. I love the texture that it sticky and full bodied. I feel when I put a moisturizer on top the sticky feeling goes away. Shame the AUD is not performing well and the price on YesStyle has bumped up now I have to hold off repurchasing. Take care. Hi from Brisbane, Australia!
so happy birthmonth then. hope you a re having a safe month. Forgot to ask, 1. any non alcohol based products you can recommend? im 33, fairly dry skin, starting the wrinkle road (sadly) and my skin gets irritated and burned with most alcohol based product. also i am only now starting to learn about the whole skin care stuff. 2. Any diet you would recommend? (care from the inside should be brought up more IMO)
Love you and your channel so so soooo much!! Would love to see you do a video on moisturisers with spf and possibly recommend any good products you know!! I’m trying to encourage my brother and sister to wear more spf, my sister has the most beautiful skin but doesn’t take care of it which I’m really trying to make her and my brother does take care of his skin but wants more convenient options when it comes to spf, as he sometimes forgets to apply it/ doesn’t apply it because he sees it as a chore. I know sunscreen on it’s own is the better option but some sun protection is better than none!! Thank you and keep doing the amazing work you do, your videos bring me so much joy!! 😁😁😁😁😁
I would absolutely love it if you went over an entire am/pm routine for mature (30s) skin in a low humidity/desert location - i love your videos i just don’t know how to use a lot of the products you recommend :) thank you!!!
Yeah... I have to say that in my country (I leave in Vietnam), there are so much people who cannot use some by mi products, especially their 30 days miracle toner, I use that toner and also their serum in the 30 days miracle series, after that, my face was just mess!!
I have rosacea too and I’ve actually stopped exfoliation for years now. I find acids are especially irritating even gentle keratolytics like urea can make rosacea sufferers red. What I do use now is finacea :-)
I tried washing my face with plain oat flour, works well for me. Sometimes I mix it with clay powder,spirulina and a bit of orange juice. I can't tolerate those store bought cleansers any more.And, I use micellar water as a makeup remover.
@@Blah6384 I tried everything. Lotion cleansers, Milk cleansers, Baby balm cleansers, black soap,.. Oat and clay work best for me. Just take one TS of oat flour,add some water in it and wash my face with it. My face is clean afterwards and never gets red. Not to mention how cheap the oats are.
I would recommend always trying chemical exfoliation first. I have combination skin with try dry, sensitive cheeks and basically any physical exfoliation will make my cheeks burn.
I don't mind the feeling of something on my skin, as long as it makes my skin feel good, in fact I tend to be more skeptical of products that I can't feel at all
I really love Some By mi Bye2 Blackhead.. Its not directly cleans your Pore and as they claim bye2 blackhead.. The result is not instant but based on my experience, using twice a week.. Its help to reduce my blackhead.. Hahah I think this product good for those who not extremely problem with blackhead..
See, I would probably love that serum! I have dry skin and I have to have that feeling from products. I want it to feel like it's so thick and rich that it'll take a while to fully sink in. I need something that's not only hydrating, but more importantly, moisturizing!
Is the neogen real ferment serum good basic on your experience? Oh yeah neogen real ferment serum contain vitamin c which is ascorbic acid so is that serum oxidizing so fast? Sorry my english so bad hehe please answe ya thanks
Hi James, how do you get access to Krave beauty products? I really want to try their line but i can't seem to access it in the UK? Also: I'm really enjoying the paulas choice unscrub lately, i don't use it often, maybe once a month but it's really nice
1min and 18sec into this and I see the dreamcatcher and sponge almost morph into something very adult....I know I am very childish cause I am laughing and trying not to wake my family 😂😂😂😂
sorry to be that person, but i always see the skincare products in James' background and i can't help but say that they shouldn't be exposed to sunlight like that... sunlight breaks down the beneficial ingredients in skincare and oftentimes reduces the efficacy of a product. they're best stored in a cool place without any sunlight interaction at all.
I am sure we do see that the content of skincare for all the skincare gurues like James and Susan and hyram has changed alot Susan and lab maffin recently did a video about how alcohol was NOT a bad ingredient for our skin and now James tell us its very okay to use a mild physical scrub cleanser You see this diversity this is what I love about TH-cam, but this can cause a little bit of confusion, that's why you should (experiment with yourself, its okay to take OPINIONS of others but YOUR experience will determine everything for you)
I was so shocked to see the Somebymi cleanser here because I have that cleanser but turns out ive been using it completely wrong! I've been using it like a normal cleanser just yk foaming it on my hands and face and then washing it off after 60 seconds and its been a pretty good cleanser actually... but now I feel dumb lmao
Hi James!! I am from India & your new subscriber.. But damn I should admit I love you & your work..❤️❤️ You are soo gorgeous.. I am unable to reach my other subscriptions/ youtubers, you are really that good.. You r soooo honest that I can't help but agree to you most of the times.. I hope that you stay safe & keep bringing this beautiful videos of yours.. Seriously just Love You.. ❤️😘😘
Bamboo powder sounds amazing. I usually switch between physical and chemical because I do have mild rosacea and I've gotten very good at lightly scrubbing with physical exfoliators. I really with that there was a brand that was great for sensitive skin (or ALL skin in general) (no fragrance, no essential oils, no scilicones where they aren't required, etc) and they made a line for oily skin, normal skin, and dry skin. AND you could get everything you need for a nice price. However I find that almost every brand has one or two good products that might meet (My) criteria and the rest of their products ruin the line by having unnecessary ingredients.... So you have to buy from multiple brands. Sorry, I'm rambling. I'm tired and have had the worst week and I was sick from coming off a medication and didn't was my face for 3 days (or eat solid food). My face is RED and mad at me and I'm tired. I hope you're beautiful face is doing well. And you better get after your brother if he ever applies eye cream like that again. lol
I think you don't let the Bye Bye Blackheads long enough. I let it 10 minutes on my T-zone and it work well enough like my blackheads are sanded. On a long run it can definitely work I think.
James Welsh thank you so much for answering :) just wondering because I’ve always liked some physical exfoliators but never realised until I came across channels like yours and Hyram’s that they’re really not great for your skin, this one you mentioned seems like a good one to try out. Thanks again :)
Glad you liked physical exfoliator! Lately almost all youtube skincare influencers are promoting and shipping chemical exfoliating, and I kinda understand the beauty in it but sometimes I like to go back to the "good old days" like physical exfoliation too. I love KORA Organics 'Tumeric 2-in-1 Exfoliating Mask' (but maybe you are not keen on this brand since you are not into 'organic' stuff...), or you may want to check out Good Molecules 'Pineapple Exfoliating Powder' - their very recent new product! Got some chemical exfoliation too but more on powder-base gentle physical exfoliation, activated by adding water. Splendid result! About SOME BY MI - Ya, agreed their products often are underwhelming...except their sunscreen 'Truecica Mineral 100 Calming Suncream' which is amazing! Very lightweight with very minimal white cast for physical sunscreen and can treat acne too! Best sunscreen only after PURITO's 'Comfy Water Sunblock' which is now my No.1 SPF cream, thanks to your introduction of this product in the past :) Enjoyed your video!
Most people don’t have “good old days” when it comes to skincare. We mostly did stupid sh!tz to our skin & spend the rest of our lives repairing for the damages.
Hi James My husband is 34 and he realized that he wants to look after his skin but he doesn’t have a clue where to start from.. it could be very good idea for video. Starter skincare kit for men :)
wow I've been looking carefully for reviews on Some by Mi because you're right! I don't know if they just pay for all those ppl to review positively that whenever I search for their products, it's hard to find one that says otherwise so I tend to skip the avalanche of similar rave reviews that flood my search and try to dig deeper. Especially since my skin is sensitive and tends to act up, I was really cautious. Their 30-day miracle toner didn't work for me despite the rave reviews. Found one reviewer online who did caution as she had sensitive skin too and thank goodness I took her advice.
I've been using some by mi for like 3 days and It did remove my blackheads idk maybe a little bit. He's right that it has drying effects because of tannin, first time I used the product my skin dried a bit, and good thing I only used a sample size for it to see. i'll probably used it for a month and see the result. I gave sensitive skin too and oily. I'll update it my findings and reviews within a month.
@@bernsvargas Hi yes, I stopped using the product it didn't do much for my skin, and that blackheads is still visible. I've tried using other products to remove my blackheads, so far the only thing I've found effective is washing my face throughly and using nose pore strip. :)) that's all I hope it helpss.
Would like to try Holyfrog products. I recommend Avene cicafalte emulsion. It has helped me recover after damaging my skin with hyaluronic acid products.
Can you please do a skincare for rosacea video? I have rosacea and have no idea what to do. My derm gave me this thick Rx cream and I just broke out horribly which really wasn't better.
Some by mi has been mediocre for me as well, but their spot treatment is actually really nice, if you can get past the name (super miracle spot all kill cream, I mean...yeah.). The rest of their stuff I can take or leave though.
I only know of birch juice from drinking it in Sweden 😂 also James I was wondering if a simple at home trim would count as ‘sometimes hair’. I know it’s generally recommended not to cut your own hair but is anyone else regretting not getting theirs done before lockdown
Vex i am!!! my hair is dyed blonde (well balayage but a pretty intense one) and i haven’t had it done since december. a few days ago i came so close to ordering $50 worth of hair supplies and just doing my entire head blonde but i resisted once i saw my best friends head after she did the same thing! but yea i’m so sick of my hair always looking greasy since my roots are about the color the blonde would be if it were super oily/wet
faith foster damn it’s bad enough just being way overdue a haircut I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to have dye that needs sorting out! Might be time to embrace the natural look for a few months 💜 stay healthy
I always doubt any claims that oils contain any vitamin C - sure the whole fruit might (e.g. rosehips or blackcurrant) but since Vitamin C is not fat soluble it doesn't end up in the oil. This is especially true for rosehip oil, yet manufacturers still try to claim its high vitamin c content which is BS
Hi James! Love your videos! Can you please review the brand Biotique? It's an all natural brand, and I know it's not always a good thing, but it's really affordable and it'll be great if it turns out to be a good brand. Please please please! P.S. the ingredients list doesn't give you anything to go on with.

I would also love to know more.. paulas choice have a bakuchiol product out
Caitlin Ondracek apparently the Inky list also has something with this in it according to Hyram, and I also heard Burt’s Bees also does
Afaik bakuchiol is a plant derived retinol thats a good introductory retinol product lmk if that's right?

Love you and your channel so so soooo much!! Would love to see you do a video on moisturisers with spf and possibly recommend any good products you know!! I’m trying to encourage my brother and sister to wear more spf, my sister has the most beautiful skin but doesn’t take care of it which I’m really trying to make her and my brother does take care of his skin but wants more convenient options when it comes to spf, as he sometimes forgets to apply it/ doesn’t apply it because he sees it as a chore. I know sunscreen on it’s own is the better option but some sun protection is better than none!! Thank you and keep doing the amazing work you do, your videos bring me so much joy!! 😁😁😁😁😁
I would absolutely love it if you went over an entire am/pm routine for mature (30s) skin in a low humidity/desert location - i love your videos i just don’t know how to use a lot of the products you recommend :) thank you!!!
Your videos make isolation so so much better! Thank you for continuing to do your thing. Love from Oregon.
Becca Casebolt hi fellow Oregonian!💕
Hey James! It's always a pleasure to hear my music in your video 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Obsessed with your music! The only music I like using at the moment haha 😅
@@JamesWelsh Haha that's fine with me, James. I appreciate it.
Seriously your shirts deserve a video of their own. They're perfect.
Yeah... I have to say that in my country (I leave in Vietnam), there are so much people who cannot use some by mi products, especially their 30 days miracle toner, I use that toner and also their serum in the 30 days miracle series, after that, my face was just mess!!
Ugh. You're just so handsome.
Seriously!!!
It really is April fools when James recommends a physical exfoliator . 💀
STOP USING WORDS ❤️
At first glace, the tube on the thumbnail looked like it had bacon on it
I would 100% use a bacon themed product 🤤🤤
@@JamesWelsh just wait, enough time in quarantine and 5 minute crafts will have a bacon grease as a moisturizer video.
I have rosacea too and I’ve actually stopped exfoliation for years now. I find acids are especially irritating even gentle keratolytics like urea can make rosacea sufferers red. What I do use now is finacea :-)
I tried washing my face with plain oat flour, works well for me. Sometimes I mix it with clay powder,spirulina and a bit of orange juice. I can't tolerate those store bought cleansers any more.And, I use micellar water as a makeup remover.
ana ana maybe your skin can’t handle surfactants ? :0 Have you checked out surfactants free options ?
@@Blah6384 I tried everything. Lotion cleansers, Milk cleansers, Baby balm cleansers, black soap,.. Oat and clay work best for me. Just take one TS of oat flour,add some water in it and wash my face with it. My face is clean afterwards and never gets red. Not to mention how cheap the oats are.
30 days miracle toner is the best thing I have ever use. Changed my pores !
That first bit of the video… pretty much you were saying that March has been a very long year. I felt that!
OMG! That shirt looks amazing on you😍😍 May I know where it is from?
OMG the BHA JUST popped up on YesStyle in my email right now on sale under cleansers. That exact one! Soooo glad I watched this beforehand!!
I would recommend always trying chemical exfoliation first. I have combination skin with try dry, sensitive cheeks and basically any physical exfoliation will make my cheeks burn.
I don't mind the feeling of something on my skin, as long as it makes my skin feel good, in fact I tend to be more skeptical of products that I can't feel at all
I really love Some By mi Bye2 Blackhead.. Its not directly cleans your Pore and as they claim bye2 blackhead.. The result is not instant but based on my experience, using twice a week.. Its help to reduce my blackhead.. Hahah I think this product good for those who not extremely problem with blackhead..
See, I would probably love that serum! I have dry skin and I have to have that feeling from products. I want it to feel like it's so thick and rich that it'll take a while to fully sink in. I need something that's not only hydrating, but more importantly, moisturizing!
Is the neogen real ferment serum good basic on your experience?
Oh yeah neogen real ferment serum contain vitamin c which is ascorbic acid so is that serum oxidizing so fast?
Sorry my english so bad hehe please answe ya thanks
I love you're hits and shitz videos 🤗 I've been dying to try Holifrog, I love the designs on the bottles, frogs are cute!
Wow it's the first time I saw a video posted 9 seconds ago :o
Hi James, how do you get access to Krave beauty products? I really want to try their line but i can't seem to access it in the UK?
Also: I'm really enjoying the paulas choice unscrub lately, i don't use it often, maybe once a month but it's really nice
James is slowly moving over to fragrance free skin care. I see it coming and I'm here for it.
Haha! I’m not I’m not! I never look out for it though! But I also don’t 100% avoid it 😝
@@JamesWelsh damn it man lol. A girl can dream.
I hope so!!!
1min and 18sec into this and I see the dreamcatcher and sponge almost morph into something very adult....I know I am very childish cause I am laughing and trying not to wake my family 😂😂😂😂
sorry to be that person, but i always see the skincare products in James' background and i can't help but say that they shouldn't be exposed to sunlight like that... sunlight breaks down the beneficial ingredients in skincare and oftentimes reduces the efficacy of a product. they're best stored in a cool place without any sunlight interaction at all.
I am sure we do see that the content of skincare for all the skincare gurues like James and Susan and hyram has changed alot
Susan and lab maffin recently did a video about how alcohol was NOT a bad ingredient for our skin and now James tell us its very okay to use a mild physical scrub cleanser
You see this diversity this is what I love about TH-cam, but this can cause a little bit of confusion, that's why you should
(experiment with yourself, its okay to take OPINIONS of others but YOUR experience will determine everything for you)
Yes 100% agree! I always say TH-camrs are like the friends you ask for their opinions. But the end choice should always be yours!
I was so shocked to see the Somebymi cleanser here because I have that cleanser but turns out ive been using it completely wrong! I've been using it like a normal cleanser just yk foaming it on my hands and face and then washing it off after 60 seconds and its been a pretty good cleanser actually... but now I feel dumb lmao
Nooo don’t feel dumb! It’s such a confusing product!
How wa it?
March felt like it was 100 days long. Hopefully April shows some improvements and isn’t as dreadfully long as last month!
March was.....a year long haha
James Welsh it really was! haha
James where do you get your KRave beauty from? I live in the UK and can't get it anywhere?
India Gerritsen He’s said before that he gets it when he goes to the US. I’ve bought the cleanser on eBay before though.
I bought it from roseroseshop and I live in Norway. They are almost always sold out tho
Hi James!! I am from India & your new subscriber.. But damn I should admit I love you & your work..❤️❤️ You are soo gorgeous.. I am unable to reach my other subscriptions/ youtubers, you are really that good.. You r soooo honest that I can't help but agree to you most of the times.. I hope that you stay safe & keep bringing this beautiful videos of yours.. Seriously just Love You.. ❤️😘😘
Love your channel. Hope you can do a review or two on Urang line. Cheers
James, e.l.f.’s hydrating essence is also fermented. What do you think of it?
I was waiting for this amazing video 💞
Bamboo powder sounds amazing. I usually switch between physical and chemical because I do have mild rosacea and I've gotten very good at lightly scrubbing with physical exfoliators. I really with that there was a brand that was great for sensitive skin (or ALL skin in general) (no fragrance, no essential oils, no scilicones where they aren't required, etc) and they made a line for oily skin, normal skin, and dry skin. AND you could get everything you need for a nice price. However I find that almost every brand has one or two good products that might meet (My) criteria and the rest of their products ruin the line by having unnecessary ingredients.... So you have to buy from multiple brands. Sorry, I'm rambling. I'm tired and have had the worst week and I was sick from coming off a medication and didn't was my face for 3 days (or eat solid food). My face is RED and mad at me and I'm tired. I hope you're beautiful face is doing well. And you better get after your brother if he ever applies eye cream like that again. lol
Can you please review the brand: InstaNatural? I'm curious to know your thoughts on it!
I used bye bye black head (some by me) it works amazing with me.i have tried many othet products ,this is the most the perfect one i have tried ever.
james that shirt is freaking gorgeous!!!
I think you don't let the Bye Bye Blackheads long enough. I let it 10 minutes on my T-zone and it work well enough like my blackheads are sanded. On a long run it can definitely work I think.
Quick question just out of curiosity: when you use the Holifrog scrubby wash, how often do you use it?
Hey ! I use it twice a week. After cleansing!
James Welsh thank you so much for answering :) just wondering because I’ve always liked some physical exfoliators but never realised until I came across channels like yours and Hyram’s that they’re really not great for your skin, this one you mentioned seems like a good one to try out. Thanks again :)
I just tried the scrubby wash, I love it! It smells so amazing
Glad you liked physical exfoliator! Lately almost all youtube skincare influencers are promoting and shipping chemical exfoliating, and I kinda understand the beauty in it but sometimes I like to go back to the "good old days" like physical exfoliation too. I love KORA Organics 'Tumeric 2-in-1 Exfoliating Mask' (but maybe you are not keen on this brand since you are not into 'organic' stuff...), or you may want to check out Good Molecules 'Pineapple Exfoliating Powder' - their very recent new product! Got some chemical exfoliation too but more on powder-base gentle physical exfoliation, activated by adding water. Splendid result!
About SOME BY MI - Ya, agreed their products often are underwhelming...except their sunscreen 'Truecica Mineral 100 Calming Suncream' which is amazing! Very lightweight with very minimal white cast for physical sunscreen and can treat acne too! Best sunscreen only after PURITO's 'Comfy Water Sunblock' which is now my No.1 SPF cream, thanks to your introduction of this product in the past :)
Enjoyed your video!
Most people don’t have “good old days” when it comes to skincare. We mostly did stupid sh!tz to our skin & spend the rest of our lives repairing for the damages.
Hi James
My husband is 34 and he realized that he wants to look after his skin but he doesn’t have a clue where to start from.. it could be very good idea for video. Starter skincare kit for men :)
wow I've been looking carefully for reviews on Some by Mi because you're right! I don't know if they just pay for all those ppl to review positively that whenever I search for their products, it's hard to find one that says otherwise so I tend to skip the avalanche of similar rave reviews that flood my search and try to dig deeper. Especially since my skin is sensitive and tends to act up, I was really cautious. Their 30-day miracle toner didn't work for me despite the rave reviews. Found one reviewer online who did caution as she had sensitive skin too and thank goodness I took her advice.
I've been using some by mi for like 3 days and It did remove my blackheads idk maybe a little bit. He's right that it has drying effects because of tannin, first time I used the product my skin dried a bit, and good thing I only used a sample size for it to see. i'll probably used it for a month and see the result. I gave sensitive skin too and oily. I'll update it my findings and reviews within a month.
@@honeybee6646 update please?
@@bernsvargas Hi yes, I stopped using the product it didn't do much for my skin, and that blackheads is still visible. I've tried using other products to remove my blackheads, so far the only thing I've found effective is washing my face throughly and using nose pore strip. :)) that's all I hope it helpss.
Lol your skin is just more sensitive than normal. It's alright to not like something popular, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
James your shirt looks so good I think its one of your best looks and birch juice hmm plumps up your skin and lasts long you got me their
id love a video on fermented products you do recommend!
Would like to try Holyfrog products. I recommend Avene cicafalte emulsion. It has helped me recover after damaging my skin with hyaluronic acid products.
BeBee LikeMe so you can’t use HA? Me either!
Do you buy any British/English skincare brands or mostly International?
Mostly international tbh! No reason why other than I like discovering new brands ☺️
Interesting. Do you have any products from England?
Hi James what do u think of somebymi yuja niacin line? i have the sleeping mask one, i like it but i'm curious of what you think of the line❤
I love your shirt! Also thanks for uploading i live in T&T and in quarantine rn so i appreciate the company lol
Can you please do a skincare for rosacea video? I have rosacea and have no idea what to do. My derm gave me this thick Rx cream and I just broke out horribly which really wasn't better.
That shirt, LOVE IT!
Any opinions on the galactomyces vitamin C serum from Some By Mi? I have just bought it and was wondering what people‘s experiences have been. 😄
Some by mi has been mediocre for me as well, but their spot treatment is actually really nice, if you can get past the name (super miracle spot all kill cream, I mean...yeah.). The rest of their stuff I can take or leave though.
I only know of birch juice from drinking it in Sweden 😂 also James I was wondering if a simple at home trim would count as ‘sometimes hair’. I know it’s generally recommended not to cut your own hair but is anyone else regretting not getting theirs done before lockdown
Vex 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Vex i am!!! my hair is dyed blonde (well balayage but a pretty intense one) and i haven’t had it done since december. a few days ago i came so close to ordering $50 worth of hair supplies and just doing my entire head blonde but i resisted once i saw my best friends head after she did the same thing! but yea i’m so sick of my hair always looking greasy since my roots are about the color the blonde would be if it were super oily/wet
faith foster damn it’s bad enough just being way overdue a haircut I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to have dye that needs sorting out! Might be time to embrace the natural look for a few months 💜 stay healthy
Does the Hollifrog scrub compare to Lancer polish? I’m looking for a cheaper alternative 🤗
I love you! Thank you so much for all the info 💕
I always doubt any claims that oils contain any vitamin C - sure the whole fruit might (e.g. rosehips or blackcurrant) but since Vitamin C is not fat soluble it doesn't end up in the oil. This is especially true for rosehip oil, yet manufacturers still try to claim its high vitamin c content which is BS
I follow all your tips/recommendations!! send you a lot of love from the Dominican Republic!!😍😍😍
I gotta wonder if the apricot kernel oil was a jab at St. Ives. 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaaaaaaa yes! 100% was!
Hi James! Love your videos! Can you please review the brand Biotique? It's an all natural brand, and I know it's not always a good thing, but it's really affordable and it'll be great if it turns out to be a good brand. Please please please!
P.S. the ingredients list doesn't give you anything to go on with.
