I simply wash my face with water in the morning and moisturize with mist. If I'm heading out, I MUST wear sunscreen. To me, sunscreen is an absolutely important skincare staple so thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Loveeeee your channel and all the wonderful tips!! I try to check it daily. After viewing this video, I searched for the ELTA MD sunscreen product noted and am happy to say that my dermatologist here in Newfoundland, Canada, carries it in his cosmetic clinic and I absolutely love it and use it daily. THANK YOU for providing the general public with your expertise - it's invaluable to, not only those of us with limited resources, but the population as a whole!
I've had a BCC removed from my ear, so a tip: don't forget to put sunscreen on your ears! And also: putting cream onto the neck, always with upward movement!
Been a subscriber of yours for awhile, and love hearing someone who is actually qualified give advice on skincare! I find if my skin is just looking really dull, or I didn't get much sleep that if I just spend a couple extra minutes in the morning really giving my skin a good massage during cleansing, it just perks up my skin a bit and helps it look not so dull and flat
Dr Sam, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful insight and advice. I had horrible skin for most of my life but have spent the last year really working on it and using so many of your tips. It has finally paid off and I am now getting complimented on how nice my skin is, which is CRAZY! 😁 Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Subscribed! Started seeing Dr Sam last year and finally feel that I am starting to see the results after many years and hundreds of skincare products! x
My tip, that had worked for me personally, is keep Morning routine simple and easy on the skin. All the harsh stuff like retinol and acids can be done at night. The morning just needs some slight prep for the day. What I do is take micellar water and cleanse with that because if I clean with a gentle face wash twice a day, I will get irritated. So just some micellar to take off the dirt from the sleep, some vitamin c, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen. Liked
Have been subscribed since the beginning! Having had cystic acne since before I can remember, my life has been devoted to caring for my skin in the best way possible. I'm finally getting it under control by myself through lifestyle changes and careful use of high quality skincare. Thank you for showing all that we don't need elaborate expensive routines to have good skin!
My current morning skincare routine is to wash my face with water (usually cold), pat dry, use my ring finger to dab on eye cream, apply moisturizer to my face and neck, wait for it to sink in and then add facial oil over the top (I know you're not a fan of oils but I really like No7's facial oil as I find ot adds a nice glow). Just need to find a suitable sun cream now I think :)
Absolutely loved getting a glimpse into your morning skincare routine! I've been using products that you've recommended on your channel for more than 6 months now and they seem to be working which is fantastic :) x
Been subscribed for a while now and the nonsensical and direct approach you have with your videos. I love how your morning skincare routine is so simple too! I typically use Avene Gentle Cleansing Foam and Jan Marini's Physical Protectant as a 2-in-1 suncreen/moistouriser but adding the vitamin C serum sounds like a great addition.
Dr. Bunting - you're the only dermatologist I follow on RUclips for skincare! Your videos are always short, informative and to the point! And your skin is beautiful!
Simple routine - I like it! The lack of love for the neck and décolletage bothers me though. I like to apply lots of moisturizer and sunscreen on those areas too, not just leftovers.
Great skin care tutorial! I appreciate that you incorporated exact product usage, amount, & application. Even demonstrating time allowed for product to absorb into skin.
This could not be timelier for me! I've been a subscriber for a few months now, and I'm busy researching a new skincare routine based on your earlier videos. I've got the young women in our family following you, too. Thank you for your specific, authoritative advice. People with problematic skin so often get oversold products or condescended to by those who don't understand. Carry on!
I've been subscribed for a long time, and appreciate so much your no nonsense approach to skin care. My morning routine involves cleansing (gentle non-foaming cleanser, or if I'm in a rush micellar water), hydrating serum + moisturiser (I use Freederm daily complex, has a good amount of niacinamide in it), and then final step before make up a good and light textured SPF (I've used Biore in the past, and now I use a Nivea one which I think is exclusive to the Asian market).
Such a simple morning routine. I love it!! I have never tried that sunscreen and I have seriously been on the never ending hunt for a sunscreen that plays well with makeup, isnt greasy and works.
Really interesting to see the skincare routine from a dermatologist;) Love your professional advice on skincare, especially on acne problems. Simple but effective. Less is more. Cheers.
I've gotten so many useful tips since subscribing to your channel ages ago! My morning skincare routine is all avene with a bioderma serum for dehydrated skin, it has changed my life.
I use tiny bit of PChoice One step MOISTURE BOOST cleanser and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water; PC Advanced Replenishing Toner; Ordinary Vit C; CeraVe PM moisturizer + 3-4 drops of Ordinary Hyaluronic Serum + PC super antioxidant serum (mix together); wait at least 20 min and finaly,newly discovered, amazing for sensitive skin and quickly absorbing good undermakeup, Elta MD UV Physical SPF 41. Every other morning instead of Vit C I use PC 2% liquid BHA.
Your advice has helped my skin so much ( mature, sensitive, prone to redness ) Neutrogena Hydro boost gelee milk cleanser - similar texture to your lovely La Roche-Posay Physiological Gel but with perfume but otherwise very pleasant Vichy serum ( various) then and then SPF - repeat purchase La Roche Posay Hydraphase UV Light...always behaves well under makeup. x
Already a subscriber ❤️ also liked your video. My morning routine: a) i apply dark spot erase AHA loction by Resist in targetted areas, b) I moisturize my skin after that, depending on how dry my skin is i either apply Oils of Life moisturizer by The Body Shop alone or along with the face oil from the same collection, c) once everyhting has sinked in well I apply +50 SPF aqua fluid by Bioderma.
My morning skincare: water splash, Timeless C + E Ferulic or Mad Hippie Vit C/hyuralonic, a little Mad Hippie moisturizer on my dry spots, Mad Hippie Eye Cream, La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Fluid SPF 50 with Mexoryl SX, Mexoryl XL and Tinosorb S on my face, and Anthelios SPF 50 Lait (the original formula with the Mexoryls and the Tinosorb... 300ml tube found on eBay) all over my neck, shoulders and chest. If I am taking a shower, I use Mother Dirt Foaming Face + Body cleanser on my face and body. In the evening, I use DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. I also like Cerave PM moisturizer, sometimes instead of the Mad Hippie.
Hi, My morning routine includes a gentle milk cleanser, toner, vitamin C serum, moisturizer with SPF. I keep my routine really simple because I have found that when I use less product, my skin is calm and blemish free.
My favourite part of my morning cleansing routine is the cleansing part itself. Splashing water on my face and massaging my cleanser (I just ran out of my favourite Sukin cleanser this morning :-( ) into my skin really wakes me up and makes me feel less groggy :-)
Done! I typically don't cleanse in the morning, but I notice fewer milia when I do. Trying to do better... just added a C serum by Obagi to try to battle melasma as I am wary and tiring of hydroquinone. This is my morning routine as well (c, hydrate, Elta clear)...sometimes will throw in Sunday Riley Eye if I am puffy. Thanks Dr. Sam!
I actually don't wash my face with cleanser in the morning -- I just splash it with water and go on applying moisturizer and sunscreen. But I also don't use a separate eye cream, and I'm glad to know you don't either!
ohhhh good luck to myself! my morning routine is wash my fave with no.7 gel cleanser, Eucerin toner, spritz with caudalie grape water. followed by sometimes Paula's choice antioxidant serum, sometimes lancome youth activating serum, then revitalising cream from Ren. Paula's choice spf 50 is the last step.
De Anna Brooks I think what you're seeing is not inflammation but blood rushing to the surface of the skin because she is rubbing in products. Because she is so fair, it looks redder on her than on someone with a deeper skin tone.
This is one of your best videos! Subscribed a long time ago and liked this video as well. I also recently bought the Neostrata sunscreen since you recommended it in one of your previous videos.
Forgot to mention my morning routine: paula's choice 10%AHA, ordinary's niacinamide 10%, 10% matryxil serum (very hydrating for my dry rosacea face), clinique moisturizer, australian gold mineral 50 spf
I use a gentle cream cleanser that I gently flannel off, a hydrating gel serum, a honey based serum and pai's rose-hip oil to 'lock' everything in. I don't have a moisturiser heavy enough for colder weather that doesn't make my skin react so I have to layer., and I also have yet to come across a sunscreen that works for my skin.
I've been waiting for your morning skincare routine. Please post a night one as well :) I am just getting ready for my nighttime routine and has been using the Drunk Elephant line!
My morning routine: (very soothing as I use tretinoin gel 0,5% about 5 nights/week) MY TIP: Use a new fresh towel/flannel everyday to pat dry your face. (I buy the small squared ones from Primark as they're really cheap.) Avène Gentle Gel cleanser (sadly it was discontinued.) Avène Gentle toner La Roche-Posay Serozinc La Roche-Posay Hydraphase intense eyes The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% (this stuff is amazing!) Avène Hydrance Optimale hydrating serum + few drops of pure organic cold pressed Argan oil (mixed before applying) Sunscreen (any La Roche-Posay Anthelios) - not happy with this step =o/ I'm still looking for my Holy Grail winter sunscreen. They all seem too stick and thick. In the summer I like to use Biore UV bright face milk (pink bottle). It works as an amazing primer for oily skin.
I bought the avene tolerance extreme mask mentioned in the previous video and I love it so much. I live in Canada so the winter here is brutal and my skin has been so dehydrated no matter what I did. The mask has been wonderful addition
Subscribed and liked! I've started changing up my skincare routine and your tips for waiting for product to soak in have made a huge difference already. Today I used a hyaluronic acid moisturizer after cleaning and using a serum (which I've been doing for a few days since I just got the latter two products), then I used a mineral sunscreen and added a rosehip oil to my foundation and my skin looked so healthy after I removed my makeup tonight! It kind of shocked me, not gonna lie. I think I'm going to keep doing this foundation routine since I work 9-10 hours a day and my skin has been looking kind of dull as a result of daily makeup.
I personally steer clear of vitamin C serums. They are rather unstable and I found them irritating. La Roche Posay is a nice line. I just got their double repair mosterizer, which has cerimides and niacinamide that are helpful for the skin.
I have been a subscriber for a while now, (also on Instagram) but since I found your first video, I just couldn't stop binge watching your channel haha... In the mornings I love applying my products in layers, so I'll prepare my coffee, next product, breakfast, next product, brush teeth, next, etc etc. I'd rather take my time to pamper myself and feel ready to take on the day 😘
I just found and subscribed to your channel. I love it. Have been bin watching past episodes. Between my teen daughter's skin and and menopausal skin we both enjoy your expertise.
Enjoyed your video. I just found your channel and have been binge watching it. Sunscreen is so important. Even on cloudy days. I never wore it. Wound up with squamous cell cancer and now I will not leave the home without it. Plus it is your best defense against wrinkles. Thank you for posting this.
Long-time subscriber here. I'm with you on the plain, non-foaming cleanser in the morning - my skin never needs more than that. And sunscreen - OMG yes!
Liked and have been subscribed for a while! You make skin care so simple and doable. I used to have no routine but now I look forward to it and my skin thanks you :)
I cleanse with Cetaphil in the a.m. and follow with Simply Pure serum (Superdrug) then La Roche Posay Toleraine Ultra. Being allergic to fragrance and Balsam of Peru excludes many products for me and it's really hard to find ones that are allergen free and also work well. The Elta MD I believe hits this mark so I'd love to try, thank you.
Loving the Physiological stash! Been enjoying the Neostrata Sheer Physical but v keen to compare with Elta, since it's become your fav! Fantastic video.
Hi Dr. Sam, I've been subscribed for some time now! As a guy I was in need of some good skincare advice, until I discovered your videos! Your tip about non foaming face washes, BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing your routine with us, big thumbs up!
Waking up with skin as plump, dewy and clear as yours is the dream! I've been subscribed for a while, thank you for the video - I always forget the backs of my hands! 😳
Oh my goodness Dr. Sam, this was my favourite video yet. I am really tempted to move to London just so I could have you as my dermatologist. My morning routine is: vanicream gentle cleanser, Cerave moisturizing facial lotion, La Roche Posay SPF 60 sunscreen and blistex chapstick. Once my toner and eye cream run out then I won't be repurchasing. You must go through at least one or two tubes of the obagi moisturizer a month since they are so small. I do the same but it is worth it for beautiful skin
Usually i do not expect the product to be completely absorbed into my skin before the next step . I'll take my phone now on, so i can get distracted between steps. And i am a subscriber for a long time now, and i always liked your videos anyway. I would love more videos of your routines!
Liked and subbed right from beginning. Morning is a gentle cleansing cream as its winter. Then straight on to a B5 serum then I use a cream with SPF in. Then eye cream....that's it!
My morning routine is very simple, LRP Toleriane cleanser followed by Avene Hydrance Optimale Riche spf 20. In summer I would switch Avene for Neostrata physical spf 50.
Subscribed! Great tips, I'm definitely going to be reviewing my morning skincare routine on the basis of this. I'm not so good at applying SPF in the winter but after watching this and lots of your other vids I see that its vital. Thank you Sam :)
Subscribed and liked the video! Such a huge fan of all your videos. As someone who has always suffered with acne I couldn't be more grateful for your RUclips channel. Thanks! X
Done all the steps! So good to know that my routine is very alike but I do need that sunscreen. Would love a night time routine video as well. Thanks Dr. Sam.
Subscribed a long time ago!! I use mainly La Roche Posay products. I cleanse with Toleriane in the winter, and then I apply the Medik8 antioxydant serum followed by Effaclar H (normally Effaclar duo but it's freezing in Vienna), and finally Anthelios. Thank you for your helpful videos!!
Another great, informative video! Thanks, Dr. Bunting!! Your routine is perfect. What antioxidant serum are you using? Liked and already a subscriber--and have an alert for your Utube posts. 😇 My morning routine is fairly simple as well. -I'm not oily so I simply wash my hands and then proceed to rinse my face with tepid water (using my hands) until my face feels supple and clean. It takes about a minute. -Dry face with a towel using the same method you used in your video -Apply Paula's Choice C Booster Serum -Apply one pump of Replenix Power Of Three cream using my finger tips (I will have to try your method in terms of Rubin in products) -Apply a face cream. I'm currently using Refissa, only three months in, and find most products irritating. However, Eucerin Q10 has been wonderful! Surprising it had very good ingredients! I went from $80 product to a $12 product. 🤔 -Finally, I apply a physical sunblock. I have tried the Eltamd yet buts on my list. I have a few I like but I'm favoring PCA, Replenix Ultimatte Perfection SPF 50, Bareminerals Prep-Step SPF50.
I don't usually wait for the products to fully absorb though I do start with my eye makeup and by the time I'm done and moving on to foundation, my skin has usually absorbed my moisturiser. Liked and was already a subscriber. :)
I usually just wash my face with purity face wash, then I use clindamycin phosphate 1% on pimples and cerave PM moisturizer with a spf of 30. I would certainly want to try this sunscreen out since in the past most sunscreen (nuetrogena face sunscreen spf 50) would irritate my skin.
Just entered the giveaway! Quick tips for morning routine would be switching for more of a gentle, SLS free cleanser or sometime just micellar water will do the trick and layer multiple layer of hydrating toner rather than load up heavy cream to plump up my desert skin!
oooh how exciting was just wondering how to get hold of this sunscreen! obviously liked as I do with all your videos because I always watch them hahah. my makeup routine is pretty simple I cleanse with cetaphil, currently using origins ginzing and then apply sunscreen and then lip balm done!
Thank you, dr Bunting, for sharing your skincare routine with us! I'm subscribed to you since last year, and probably will be until the end of time. Because you're amazing at explaining skin conditions & your product recommendation rocks! ❤️ My current skincare routine is very simple, i just use 2 products! #lazygirlhacks alert. First, i do gentle cleansing with coconut oil (coconut oil has change my life, and hopefully yours too!) or just micellar water before bath time and then i put on Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Gel Cream (moisturizing due to glycerin & squalane & sunscreen due to 6.5% titanium dioxide in it). It's been a staple in my vanity since 1.5 years ago, it really helped me save time in the morning. It is also easy to reapply for sun protection (i sometimes reapply even though it's physical sunscreen, especially when i'm outdoor & sweating).
I've been thinking about incorporating hyaluronic acid, niacinamide & marula oil for my AM skincare routine though. What do you think about it, dr Bunting?
Audrey Natalia I think we are all at risk of being brainwashed or seduced into believing more layers the better especially when The Ordinary products are so cheap. De Sam is all for pairing back. Sunscreen and retinol will cover almost everything
+phoenix i really really wanted to tey the magic of retinol for muself! But i was asking around (also to dermatologists) and most would recommend me to wait until i'm 30 before starting retinol. They all told me to wait because i have clear skin (has always been acne free all my life) and at 23 y.o my skin is regenerating perfectly & also i don't have hyperpigmentation problems (sunburns and sun spots disappear on its own in a matter of days/weeks). For sunscreen i use physical sunscreen spf 30 with 6.5% titanium dioxide from Bareminerals regularly every day (will change to 22% zinc oxide sunscreen from Bareminerals once this bottle is finished) and Guess sunglasses with 100% UV protection whenever i'm in the car. I still don't wear lip balm with SPF though, but considering trying Elta MD one.
Yesss i have been waiting for this video!!! so interesting to see how you apply the products and what u use. I want to buy the obagi and sunscreen products. thanks alot for doing this video :-) and i have been subscribed since before ur first video when i saw u on caroline hirons video u looked so classy and ur skin looked great that i knew i wanted to take ur advice :)
Dr Sam, thanks for sharing your morning routine with us. I see it is pretty similar to my morning routine with one exception - after cleansing my face with mild cleanser I use acid toner or thermal water, after that I apply serum with vit. C, then light cream with SPF. When I have a tough night or have to wake up very early (5.30-6.00am) I also use eye pads to 'boost' the quality of the skin under eyes. I tried to use serum, then moisturizer and sunscreen but it was too heavy under make up, maybe sunscreens I tried (all from french pharmacy) were not suitable under make up. I subscribed long time ago because I do not want to miss any of your videos. Have a great day :-)
I've been a subscriber for a few months now, and would love to try out the sun screen in this video. I wear SPF every day and am always on the lookout for the perfect formulation. Thanks for holding a giveaway!
Of course I'm subscribed! My morning routine is very similar, but I have an extra step where I feel like I don't like any of the sunscreens I have tried and am tempted to skip it for the tiny amount of protection in my Smashbox CC cream. I am amazed about this video/giveaway because a good 1/3 of my social media comments in the past month or so have been about how sunscreen is the bane of my existence and whether I should try EltaMD.
Love your channel and I'm definitely subscribed. I've recently started leaving my skincare routine until after I've eaten, that way I can brush my teeth without feeling like I'm wiping everything off around my mouth when rinsing.
Great video. Hope I get to try this sunscreen. My morning routine : Brush my teeth, drink a glass of water, change my baby's nappy, prepare breakfast for the little champ and feed the dog, thennnnnn its on to my cleanse with PC skin balancing cleanser, toner, brightening essence, serum with vitamin C, moisturiser with sunscreen. All by Paula's Choice. It takes me a while between letting each product sink in and dealing with my household. But i get there :)
My morning routine wash face with tepid water, dry with flannel, Skin Ceuticals Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid Serum, (mosturisers vary sometimes the Embryolisse nourishing moisturiser, or Embryolisse Artist Secret moisturiser, and recently bought the Beauty Kitchen Seahorse Plankton Moisturiser, then using up my Skin Ceuticals sunscreen. I am hoping to try the Elta MD Uv clear sunscreen next.
I simply wash my face with water in the morning and moisturize with mist. If I'm heading out, I MUST wear sunscreen. To me, sunscreen is an absolutely important skincare staple so thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Loveeeee your channel and all the wonderful tips!! I try to check it daily.

I love how short and beneficial are your contents Dr. Thanks for your time and effort 😊
Already a subscriber ❤️ also liked your video. My morning routine: a) i apply dark spot erase AHA loction by Resist in targetted areas, b) I moisturize my skin after that, depending on how dry my skin is i either apply Oils of Life moisturizer by The Body Shop alone or along with the face oil from the same collection, c) once everyhting has sinked in well I apply +50 SPF aqua fluid by Bioderma.
I suggest getting rid of that redness by toning and applying silicone-free products.
My morning skincare: water splash, Timeless C + E Ferulic or Mad Hippie Vit C/hyuralonic, a little Mad Hippie moisturizer on my dry spots, Mad Hippie Eye Cream, La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Fluid SPF 50 with Mexoryl SX, Mexoryl XL and Tinosorb S on my face, and Anthelios SPF 50 Lait (the original formula with the Mexoryls and the Tinosorb... 300ml tube found on eBay) all over my neck, shoulders and chest.

Not enough sunscreen though
ROFL
You have a beautifull skin that glows!! I really agree with the amount of sunscreen you used. Skin health is so important but so neglected. 😘😘😘
Can you do a nighttime routine please ? X
Mabellucyanna it's the same routine without the sunscreen 😀
I really like to know your opinion about cleansing facial brushes.
Why is your skin so inflamed? Are you using a retinoid nightly?
De Anna Brooks I think what you're seeing is not inflammation but blood rushing to the surface of the skin because she is rubbing in products. Because she is so fair, it looks redder on her than on someone with a deeper skin tone.
I asked the same thing! its red even before she does anything. I used to use a retinoid and the same happened to my skin
Yes, I thought the same thing, her skin looks very irritated and inflamed, not good, unless she just had a procedure like a peel or derma.
I think her skin always looks red :/ even with make up on
De Anna Brooks she got roseuca

(I buy the small squared ones from Primark as they're really cheap.)
Avène Gentle Gel cleanser (sadly it was discontinued.)
Avène Gentle toner
La Roche-Posay Serozinc
La Roche-Posay Hydraphase intense eyes
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% (this stuff is amazing!)
Avène Hydrance Optimale hydrating serum + few drops of pure organic cold pressed Argan oil (mixed before applying)
Sunscreen (any La Roche-Posay Anthelios) - not happy with this step =o/
I'm still looking for my Holy Grail winter sunscreen. They all seem too stick and thick. In the summer I like to use Biore UV bright face milk (pink bottle). It works as an amazing primer for oily skin.
monicafdealmeida Try the innisfree sunscreen for oily skin. That stuff just disappears into your skin.
Thank you! I will. Hopefully soon! Unfortunately is out of stock at Amazon.
I bought the avene tolerance extreme mask mentioned in the previous video and I love it so much. I live in Canada so the winter here is brutal and my skin has been so dehydrated no matter what I did. The mask has been wonderful addition

I've started changing up my skincare routine and your tips for waiting for product to soak in have made a huge difference already. Today I used a hyaluronic acid moisturizer after cleaning and using a serum (which I've been doing for a few days since I just got the latter two products), then I used a mineral sunscreen and added a rosehip oil to my foundation and my skin looked so healthy after I removed my makeup tonight! It kind of shocked me, not gonna lie. I think I'm going to keep doing this foundation routine since I work 9-10 hours a day and my skin has been looking kind of dull as a result of daily makeup.
I personally steer clear of vitamin C serums. They are rather unstable and I found them irritating. La Roche Posay is a nice line. I just got their double repair mosterizer, which has cerimides and niacinamide that are helpful for the skin.
I have been a subscriber for a while now, (also on Instagram) but since I found your first video, I just couldn't stop binge watching your channel haha... In the mornings I love applying my products in layers, so I'll prepare my coffee, next product, breakfast, next product, brush teeth, next, etc etc. I'd rather take my time to pamper myself and feel ready to take on the day 😘
I just found and subscribed to your channel. I love it. Have been bin watching past episodes. Between my teen daughter's skin and and menopausal skin we both enjoy your expertise.
We love that! Thanks for sharing.
I love washing my face in the morning so much more, as I'm not having to remove makeup. Your routine is very inspiring! 😘
Done! I love your videos and the fact that you raise awareness about the sun´s harmfull effects on the skin in a passionate way !
Enjoyed your video. I just found your channel and have been binge watching it. Sunscreen is so important. Even on cloudy days. I never wore it. Wound up with squamous cell cancer and now I will not leave the home without it. Plus it is your best defense against wrinkles. Thank you for posting this.
+Coleen Knoblauch Hi Coleen, thank you so much for sharing your experience. Hope you're well and so glad you find the videos helpful. :)
Long-time subscriber here. I'm with you on the plain, non-foaming cleanser in the morning - my skin never needs more than that. And sunscreen - OMG yes!
Liked and have been subscribed for a while! You make skin care so simple and doable. I used to have no routine but now I look forward to it and my skin thanks you :)
I always apply a lightweight oil as well - my favourite is Fresh seaberry oil
I cleanse with Cetaphil in the a.m. and follow with Simply Pure serum (Superdrug) then La Roche Posay Toleraine Ultra. Being allergic to fragrance and Balsam of Peru excludes many products for me and it's really hard to find ones that are allergen free and also work well. The Elta MD I believe hits this mark so I'd love to try, thank you.
subscribed and appreciative of the short and sweet video :) practical and relatable for any lady who's on the go. thank you!
Loving the Physiological stash! Been enjoying the Neostrata Sheer Physical but v keen to compare with Elta, since it's become your fav! Fantastic video.
Yes, sun protection is the best anti-ager!
Because of you I have become obsessed with the Obagi Hydrate moisturizer...it's my AM and PM. Thank you!
Hi Dr. Sam, I've been subscribed for some time now! As a guy I was in need of some good skincare advice, until I discovered your videos! Your tip about non foaming face washes, BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing your routine with us, big thumbs up!
Waking up with skin as plump, dewy and clear as yours is the dream! I've been subscribed for a while, thank you for the video - I always forget the backs of my hands! 😳
Oh my goodness Dr. Sam, this was my favourite video yet. I am really tempted to move to London just so I could have you as my dermatologist. My morning routine is: vanicream gentle cleanser, Cerave moisturizing facial lotion, La Roche Posay SPF 60 sunscreen and blistex chapstick. Once my toner and eye cream run out then I won't be repurchasing. You must go through at least one or two tubes of the obagi moisturizer a month since they are so small. I do the same but it is worth it for beautiful skin
I would also love to see an evening skin care routine and a routine on how to apply retin-a
Usually i do not expect the product to be completely absorbed into my skin before the next step . I'll take my phone now on, so i can get distracted between steps. And i am a subscriber for a long time now, and i always liked your videos anyway. I would love more videos of your routines!
Liked and subbed right from beginning. Morning is a gentle cleansing cream as its winter. Then straight on to a B5 serum then I use a cream with SPF in. Then eye cream....that's it!
My morning routine is very simple, LRP Toleriane cleanser followed by Avene Hydrance Optimale Riche spf 20. In summer I would switch Avene for Neostrata physical spf 50.
Subscribed! Great tips, I'm definitely going to be reviewing my morning skincare routine on the basis of this. I'm not so good at applying SPF in the winter but after watching this and lots of your other vids I see that its vital. Thank you Sam :)
Thankful that this channel exists!
Subscribed and liked the video! Such a huge fan of all your videos. As someone who has always suffered with acne I couldn't be more grateful for your RUclips channel. Thanks! X
Done all the steps! So good to know that my routine is very alike but I do need that sunscreen. Would love a night time routine video as well. Thanks Dr. Sam.
So excited for the giveaway. I do similar steps in the morning too. However, I do add a BHA exfoliation before applying the antioxidant
I hear more and more people say an eye cream is not necessary. You have now convinced me.
Done and done! Finding a good sunscreen for the face has always been a challenge for me!
great video as always!! what's your opinion on patting vs rubbing in your moisturizer? im still confused on which one is better
Subscribed a long time ago!! I use mainly La Roche Posay products. I cleanse with Toleriane in the winter, and then I apply the Medik8 antioxydant serum followed by Effaclar H (normally Effaclar duo but it's freezing in Vienna), and finally Anthelios. Thank you for your helpful videos!!
Another great, informative video! Thanks, Dr. Bunting!! Your routine is perfect. What antioxidant serum are you using?
Liked and already a subscriber--and have an alert for your Utube posts. 😇
My morning routine is fairly simple as well.
-I'm not oily so I simply wash my hands and then proceed to rinse my face with tepid water (using my hands) until my face feels supple and clean. It takes about a minute.
-Dry face with a towel using the same method you used in your video
-Apply Paula's Choice C Booster Serum
-Apply one pump of Replenix Power Of Three cream using my finger tips (I will have to try your method in terms of Rubin in products)
-Apply a face cream. I'm currently using Refissa, only three months in, and find most products irritating. However, Eucerin Q10 has been wonderful! Surprising it had very good ingredients! I went from $80 product to a $12 product. 🤔
-Finally, I apply a physical sunblock. I have tried the Eltamd yet buts on my list. I have a few I like but I'm favoring PCA, Replenix Ultimatte Perfection SPF 50, Bareminerals Prep-Step SPF50.
I don't do much in the am because I have a bit of rosacea. But it's cerave cleanser with sunscreen and then bb cream with spf 30
I don't usually wait for the products to fully absorb though I do start with my eye makeup and by the time I'm done and moving on to foundation, my skin has usually absorbed my moisturiser.
Liked and was already a subscriber. :)
Please do an evening skin care
Love this video, you should definitely do some like this. Such a simple but effective routine! My routine is similar but I add a BHA in as well.
All steps done, morning routine: cleanse face, moisturising toner, bha exfoliant, spf 30!
I usually just wash my face with purity face wash, then I use clindamycin phosphate 1% on pimples and cerave PM moisturizer with a spf of 30. I would certainly want to try this sunscreen out since in the past most sunscreen (nuetrogena face sunscreen spf 50) would irritate my skin.
Just entered the giveaway! Quick tips for morning routine would be switching for more of a gentle, SLS free cleanser or sometime just micellar water will do the trick and layer multiple layer of hydrating toner rather than load up heavy cream to plump up my desert skin!
I am a subscriber. Never knew I didn't need a different cream for my eyes. Thanks for the tip! I also love to apply sunscreen every morning.
oooh how exciting was just wondering how to get hold of this sunscreen! obviously liked as I do with all your videos because I always watch them hahah. my makeup routine is pretty simple I cleanse with cetaphil, currently using origins ginzing and then apply sunscreen and then lip balm done!
Thank you, dr Bunting, for sharing your skincare routine with us! I'm subscribed to you since last year, and probably will be until the end of time. Because you're amazing at explaining skin conditions & your product recommendation rocks! ❤️
My current skincare routine is very simple, i just use 2 products! #lazygirlhacks alert. First, i do gentle cleansing with coconut oil (coconut oil has change my life, and hopefully yours too!) or just micellar water before bath time and then i put on Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Gel Cream (moisturizing due to glycerin & squalane & sunscreen due to 6.5% titanium dioxide in it). It's been a staple in my vanity since 1.5 years ago, it really helped me save time in the morning. It is also easy to reapply for sun protection (i sometimes reapply even though it's physical sunscreen, especially when i'm outdoor & sweating).
I've been thinking about incorporating hyaluronic acid, niacinamide & marula oil for my AM skincare routine though. What do you think about it, dr Bunting?
Audrey Natalia I think we are all at risk of being brainwashed or seduced into believing more layers the better especially when The Ordinary products are so cheap. De Sam is all for pairing back. Sunscreen and retinol will cover almost everything
+phoenix i really really wanted to tey the magic of retinol for muself! But i was asking around (also to dermatologists) and most would recommend me to wait until i'm 30 before starting retinol. They all told me to wait because i have clear skin (has always been acne free all my life) and at 23 y.o my skin is regenerating perfectly & also i don't have hyperpigmentation problems (sunburns and sun spots disappear on its own in a matter of days/weeks).
For sunscreen i use physical sunscreen spf 30 with 6.5% titanium dioxide from Bareminerals regularly every day (will change to 22% zinc oxide sunscreen from Bareminerals once this bottle is finished) and Guess sunglasses with 100% UV protection whenever i'm in the car. I still don't wear lip balm with SPF though, but considering trying Elta MD one.
Yesss i have been waiting for this video!!! so interesting to see how
you apply the products and what u use. I want to buy the obagi and
sunscreen products. thanks alot for doing this video :-) and i have been
subscribed since before ur first video when i saw u on caroline hirons
video u looked so classy and ur skin looked great that i knew i wanted
to take ur advice :)
Dr Sam, thanks for sharing your morning routine with us. I see it is pretty similar to my morning routine with one exception - after cleansing my face with mild cleanser I use acid toner or thermal water, after that I apply serum with vit. C, then light cream with SPF. When I have a tough night or have to wake up very early (5.30-6.00am) I also use eye pads to 'boost' the quality of the skin under eyes. I tried to use serum, then moisturizer and sunscreen but it was too heavy under make up, maybe sunscreens I tried (all from french pharmacy) were not suitable under make up. I subscribed long time ago because I do not want to miss any of your videos. Have a great day :-)
My favorite tip is to be generous with products! Especially face wash and sunscreen!
I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser and then Cetaphil non irritating face cream. :)
I've been a subscriber for a few months now, and would love to try out the sun screen in this video. I wear SPF every day and am always on the lookout for the perfect formulation. Thanks for holding a giveaway!
Of course I'm subscribed! My morning routine is very similar, but I have an extra step where I feel like I don't like any of the sunscreens I have tried and am tempted to skip it for the tiny amount of protection in my Smashbox CC cream. I am amazed about this video/giveaway because a good 1/3 of my social media comments in the past month or so have been about how sunscreen is the bane of my existence and whether I should try EltaMD.
I've liked the video and have been a subscriber for a while now - your videos are wonderful. And you have such beautiful skin!
Love your channel and I'm definitely subscribed. I've recently started leaving my skincare routine until after I've eaten, that way I can brush my teeth without feeling like I'm wiping everything off around my mouth when rinsing.
Hi Emily, Congrats you have won one of the fabulous sunscreens! Please reply with your e-mail and we will get in touch!
Great video. Hope I get to try this sunscreen. My morning routine : Brush my teeth, drink a glass of water, change my baby's nappy, prepare breakfast for the little champ and feed the dog, thennnnnn its on to my cleanse with PC skin balancing cleanser, toner, brightening essence, serum with vitamin C, moisturiser with sunscreen. All by Paula's Choice. It takes me a while between letting each product sink in and dealing with my household. But i get there :)
My morning routine wash face with tepid water, dry with flannel, Skin Ceuticals Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid Serum, (mosturisers vary sometimes the Embryolisse nourishing moisturiser, or Embryolisse Artist Secret moisturiser, and recently bought the Beauty Kitchen Seahorse Plankton Moisturiser, then using up my Skin Ceuticals sunscreen. I am hoping to try the Elta MD Uv clear sunscreen next.
I always use apple cider vinegar(diluted) as my toner in the morning :)
