You would be surprised at how often I refer back to your skincare videos. They are the reason I found your channel, and I still believe them to be the best on RUclips. This videos is EPIC. Everyone who has questions about skincare should watch this video!! 🥰❤️
Another tip for dry skin: if you use toner or mist again right before the moisturizer it can keep more hydration, and this video has been a useful and delightful lecture 🥰
Love your videos Gemma, especially those with your mum who is the same age as myself, so a hi and thank you to your mum as well. My beauty table is now an apothecary table, lol, and I am thoroughly enjoying my pampering time! I bought one of your favourite foundations yesterday, No.7 protect and perfect. Your followers might like to know you can currently buy it with £5 off from Boots, that is £12 instead of £17, which was a nice surprise. No.7 have a £5 off deal at the mo, I don't know how long for. Anyway many thanks for all your sound advice, kindest wishes.
My goodness girl! You read my mind! I woke up this morning with this idea on my head: figure out what products I need to use and what am I missing in my drawer😊😊😉❤️ thank you
Old "Boot Face" here 😂😂😂. Thanks for the shout out, I literally tinged all over 🙃 I thoroughly enjoyed this . Lots and lots of really useful and spot on info that is always appreciated. I now feel much more confident in my mixing my niacinamide and Vit C (they're both water based) together. I haven't experienced any adverse reaction - well I wouldn't would I, the perks of having a face like old boot leather i suppose! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Luv ya loads, ❤🌸❤❤🌸❤
@@sophiegafney4597 🤣😂🤣, I don't need to Sophie, I'm that weathered I've created my own own shade of "tan" ... it's called "crappolla". It looks quite nice in certain lights ..... Lights OFF 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Fabulous.. I've decided a couple of weeks ago to change some products, wish I had waited... now hot footing it to see what I have and what you recommend 😂😂
This video is truly amazing! Everything is so well explained, I'll definitely forward it to friends who ask me about skincare! I could almost hear the "except Ultrasun which is the 1% of SPF that needs to be applied first" ;) You addressed every caveat I mentally added (except one) and still kept it under 23 minutes, bravo! My one caveat would be: I would not use oil before SPF. If it's a drop for the entire face then maybe... but I see people massively overdoing it and I believe an oily base will affect the effectiveness of the SPF. But the video is a 10/10!
Oil before SPF is fine as long as you allow the oil to sink in before the SPF is used. Also it can be great to use if your spf is oil based rather than water based. Unless you slather yourself in it, you should be fine xxx
Hey Gemma, your videos are awesome. Thank you for sorting skin care out. I am trying to discover a decent pared down routine and you have helped. Again, Thank you!
The good news is I was using the proper ingredients for my skin type and in the proper order. I get minimal flakiness around the mouth and upper lip. I use sunscreen religiously... however have yet to look as lovely as Gemma or Jan! Darn! Thanks, Gemma! 😎
Thanks so much for the hard work. All my skincare question are answered. I love that you took the time to show guided notes, so I could screenshot them for later notes. ❤️👍🏻😃
Hi Gemma. Thank you so much for such an in-depth video. You are the one who has guided me in the past few months to understand and put together a skin care routine for my mature, dull, dehydrated skin. Can’t thank you enough. Much love to you 😘
Gemma this was without doubt the best video I have seen this year!!! Thank you so much. It was absolutely brilliant and had answered so much. You are a wonder! Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much!!! This is the video I have always wanted. Most videos, although wonderful, only show a part of the picture. Well done, much appreciated. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! It has helped SO SO much. I had no idea where to start but you have made what was the transparency of mud, the clarity of freshly cleaned glass!! xx
Thank you so much for this! I've been stressing over the order of applying my skin care and this video was very much needed. Thank you again, very informative!
Great video! It takes several informative videos like this one to educate the masses. I’ve been into skincare for many years now so I get it all, the names don’t scare me and I know what product/ingredients do this or that. Being influenced by every knew thing doesn’t help either (I’ve been there, so has my wallet). If I was starting again I’d get samples, then buy one new product every payday and build it over a couple of months. Then when you’ve got your HGs you can buy several as backups when they come on sale and never pay full price again! Sometimes also peeps expensive doesn’t mean better! I have drugstore, script and high end in my routine (K beauty, salon only etc etc). TIP: put a post it note inside vanity mirror with am and pm routine so you know what for when. Have a grand week everyone. :)
@pamperedwolf, I’m 56 in January and have learnt everything from you over the last couple of years. I trust all your skincare advice. Thank you, thank you and thank you again xx
I believe my skin is dry. I did the test as well. Everytime I wash my face whether plain water or a cleanser, I need moisturizer. My skin used to be acne prone on my chin and black heads until I started Tretinoin which I use twice per week so I love that.
SO HELPFUL!!! This is incredibly useful given all the ingredients and products we hear about all the time. Thank you so much from a fan in Arizona, USA
Hi, I'm new. Super great video! So informative. And yes, I did go to my skincare products corner in the bathroom at the end of the video... P.S. Great description box content. So well organised and full of suggestions. Thanks!
Great video, super informative. Lately I have been a bit confused about skincare and this video has presented a clearer idea of what my skincare should be. Thank you for that. I also took a couple of screenshots.
O My Word!! Thank you Gemma! for this absolutely fantastic video with all of this info. It is a minefield of all this do's and don'ts like you said. This is very helpful. xxx
You’re the best and I feel the same for The Ordinary Products you listed. I am not spending $$$$ when The Ordinary is $ and is highly effective. I’ll save it for my Coco Channel perfume💕. Thank you. Excellent.
Wonderful! Helpful, informative, entertaining ... love it Gemma! Thanks for explaining the important ingredients to me. Since my skin changed recently. 💖
Great video - love when you talk skin care 😀 I have seen a video by dermatologist Shereene Idriss about HA, she strongly advice NOT to use HA, as it will dry out the skin. My skin is dehydrated, so I have tried to eliminate HA from my routine - it has only been a few weeks, but I actually think that it has helped 🤔
She's right but not entirely. If you use a HA it's really important that you lock it in with a good thick moisturiser or you run the risk of transepidermal water loss. If you live in an arid climate then HA is a big NO NO, but a humid climate is great. There are lots of pluses and negatives xxx
Great video, thank you for it ❤️ I have noticed that grape seed oil helps me very fast whenever my skin is irritated or acting weird. It contains a lot of linoleic acid (hope I wrote it correctly) and this helps my skin barrier over night to calm down and act normal again. I have problems with contact dermatitis because of all the pollen flighing araund at the moment.
Thanks Gemma for the video. I used to have dry skin with rosacea. I do not have rosacea anymore and my skin is more on the normal side now. I watch this video to shade the info with my work collegue that need a routine and specially I am trying to convince her to weir SPF. She's 25, pale blond and like golden look but will pay later if she does not use it. Thanks again from Canada.
Hiya, just wanted to let you know the UK normal-dry cleanser and dry moisturiser links are broken. Apologies if someone has already said. Also, thank you for adding links for both UK and US. Sadly, some UK creators, including one of my other favourites, don’t include UK links because “so many viewers are in the US”.
Awesome! A very informative video answering some questions I have as I have just bought some new skincare products from Beauty Bay and was unsure of how to try them out.
Wow, that was a lot of information. I am very thankful that I follow you since ever 😉, so I know so many skincare things already ☺️. Because you've spoken very fast (at least for my foreign ears), I have to watch this video again. But hey, that doesn't matter at all.... I love to listen to you and follow your instructions. So, now I will watch again and afterwards I will run into my bathroom and sort my stuff 😂. Love, hugs and kisses 😘
Thank you for doing this presentation, which I now have watched for the 2nd time. I tend to want to use all products, especially new (The Ordinary)ones! So I am glad I went back to your video.I read recently that Niacinamide will de-activate the vit. C if used layered in a routine. Have you any information or experience with that? Thanks, again Gemma!
I'm interested in how the layering should be done with respect to pH rather than consistency. I've heard that using an acidic product just before your Vitamin C serum helps the vitamin c penetrate better. A higher pH would neutralize the vitamin c and render it useless.
That’s not entirely correct, but you’re on the right lines. This is true with super strong actives, but like I say in the video, if you keep strong actives separate, you shouldn’t have an issue with ph affecting the product’s efficacy. Keep products to a minimum and you’ll not have any issues. X
Great video! I really appreciate that you clearly state that it all comes down to knowing your skin. Many of us would like someone trustable to tell us what to put on our skin and be the best of ourselves without having the real interest in understanding it 🦮 Myself included. It took me a while, but I finally get it 💡 At least, I hope I do 🤞 I have fairly tolerant skin. What concerns me is if the two actives combined may neutralise each others effect. Most of the time research is not there so it boils down, again, to me, myself & I understanding my skin and learning from my own applications :-) Thank you for this video 🌼
Loved this, clear and concise. You said acid exfoliators 1-7 times a week, and mentioned strengths of AHAs, but what about salicylic acid products that suggest twice daily use (eg Paula's Choice 2% liquid exfoliant)? Thanks.
It's nearly a bad word now in skincare ,but my sensitive rosacea prone skin loves a good night moisterizer with petroleum in it as it's so occlusive, it really sooth and calms my skin,all these new occlusive ingredients that are replacing it eg caprylyl trygleceride, squalane and silcons my skin 7 not a fan of.although in the day I find petroleum to occlusive and traps heat in different environments and leaves me red face. I use a spf that has shea butter which helps
This was amazing!! Thank you ☺️ My sister is struggling with moisturizers, I will be sending this video to her. Quick question... what about self tanners as we are coming into summer. Any recommendations of brands and time of day they should be applied?
Ohhh, you gotta look up (couple years old , on you tube) the time she was going on vacation to a sunny place and she tried a self tanner!!! Lol! It was a hysterical disaster and when I fell in love with her.
My biggest problem with SPF as the last step in the morning is pilling especially when I need to wear foundation. Even with a tinted SPF moisturizer I still encounter pilling.
It sounds like you're applying too much skincare underneath and it isn't having chance to soak into the skin before it dries on the surface. Its the surface film that pills xxx
Gemma thank you so much..Yet another informative and helpful video 🥰. I have a quick question.. During my nighttime routine , I double cleanse and right after cleansing, I use my green tea Essence . After applying my essence, I apply my CUROLOGY cream which is Tretonoin, Niacinmide and Azelaic Acid . After that, I will go in with a Peach and Lily Peptide/HA serum. Then my moisturizer to lock everything in. Do you think that order is OK or should I do the Peach and Lily Serum BEFORE my CUROLOGY ? Thanks Gemma! ❤️
I would personally never apply Tretinoin to damp skin as it can cause a lot of irritation that way. For that reason I'd apply it last 20 minutes after the rest of your skincare xxx
I'm almost 40 and trying to figure out how to take better care of my skin. I'm focusing a bit on anti-aging but I'm afraid to try retinoids. I tried to use a retinol product a while ago and it made me break out horribly...
Great video Gem, Im hopeless with skin care! I use micellar water from la roche posay and I have really enjoyed using it. How do you feel about micellar water?
You didn’t ask me but I’ve heard unfriendly things about it. I’ve used it and it’s too drying for me. It does take off the makeup and especially eye makeup but if I don’t wash it off my skin isn’t happy. So to make it simpler and skip a step, I use the oil cleanser and my skin is comforted. I think she gave it a brief negative remark once and I’ve never heard that she uses it. Cheers.
Hi, Gemma. I would really value your advice on camouflage make up for my very pale legs. I have so many red marks and bruises that they look awful, but tights are not an option! It needs to be transfer proof, to avoid the humiliation of leaving brown marks on people's pale sofas or my white clothes!!!!
Camouflage makeup is a difficult one as no makeup is entirely transfer proof so you'll always have the problem of never being able to sit on a light coloured sofa without fear of transfer. To help the issue always apply a setting spray to the makeup to help seal it in xxx
Hi there thank you for another great video! Are you still using tretinoin? I just watched your video from 1 year ago recommending Dermatica. Please could you update on whether you are still using/loving tretinoin or if your thoughts have changed now. Also do you have any thoughts on Environ products/retinol palmitate? It's so difficult to know what to choose. Thanks so much :)
Thank you for such a thorough video. I like to use a couple of drops of oil before I use sunscreen. Is this ok? Will this affect the efficacy of the sunscreen? If this is ok how long should I wait to apply sunscreen after the oil?
Hi darling, I need some good advice about Chanel Le Lift creme (day-nignt). They say that "LE LIFT Crème is formulated with a new star ingredient: botanical alfalfa concentrate, as efficient as retinol and in a formula that is gentle on the skin". Should it be considered as a retinoid creme anyway? I use them both, day and night formulas, almost every day. Should I use something different every now and again? (I'm 50, with dry skin and few wrinkles). Thank you in advance! :-*
Retinoids are still gold standard and have far more research to back them up. Alfalfa concentrate may have some similarities, like it's small quantity of vitamin A, but it's effects aren't as potent. It does have lovely moisturising qualities though, and it's a great anti-oxidant xxx
Oder of application? I am always confused about what an essence is. I tended to think of them as light, even watery. But I don’t know what to think about snail mucin. I have COSRX 96% Snail Mucin Filtrate Essence. So essence, right smack in the face, BUT it’s texture is more like a rather thick serum and sticky (filtrate, you’ll know, also has naturally occurring HA). I’m using Tretinoin (with hydroquinone) and thought it would make a good buffer prior to Tretinoin. What do you think of that specifically, and placement in general (not Tretinoin specific)? Thank you so much. ps Tretinoin is early days, appr. 2 months & getting some mild irritation - redness and flaky on one spot, left side of chin).
Do you have anything you like to use for those days when your skin is just super dry? Maybe you were in the sun all day long or wearing a mask all day and your regular moisturizer just isn't touching it?

To the people that thumbs down this video...I don’t understand! I mean she did practically everything except apply it on your face! 🤷♀️😁
Some thumbs downs are when the finger accidentally slips. The rest of the thumb downs is her competition.
The thumbs downs are all Gwynth Paltrow followers who are annoyed at Gemma telling us to use SPF lol
Agreed! What the hell??? This video was the best thing I have watched this year.

Gemma thank you so much..Yet another informative and helpful video 🥰. I have a quick question.. During my nighttime routine , I double cleanse and right after cleansing, I use my green tea Essence . After applying my essence, I apply my CUROLOGY cream which is Tretonoin, Niacinmide and Azelaic Acid . After that, I will go in with a Peach and Lily Peptide/HA serum. Then my moisturizer to lock everything in. Do you think that order is OK or should I do the Peach and Lily Serum BEFORE my CUROLOGY ? Thanks Gemma! ❤️
I would personally never apply Tretinoin to damp skin as it can cause a lot of irritation that way. For that reason I'd apply it last 20 minutes after the rest of your skincare xxx
@@PamperedWolf ....Thanks Gemma! I will do that 🥰
Thank you gemma
I'm almost 40 and trying to figure out how to take better care of my skin. I'm focusing a bit on anti-aging but I'm afraid to try retinoids. I tried to use a retinol product a while ago and it made me break out horribly...
Hi Gemma what’s the product with perfluorodecalin in it please?? X
Great video Gem, Im hopeless with skin care! I use micellar water from la roche posay and I have really enjoyed using it. How do you feel about micellar water?
You didn’t ask me but I’ve heard unfriendly things about it. I’ve used it and it’s too drying for me. It does take off the makeup and especially eye makeup but if I don’t wash it off my skin isn’t happy. So to make it simpler and skip a step, I use the oil cleanser and my skin is comforted. I think she gave it a brief negative remark once and I’ve never heard that she uses it. Cheers.
Not a huge fan, but your skin isn't mine, so if you like it you should continue to use it xxx
@@PamperedWolf Thanks Gem, I was just hoping it wasn’t along the same lines as using makeup wipes! 😱
I find that micellar water doesn't remove makeup or spf as effectively as some other methods so you have to be more thorough xxx
@@PamperedWolf Great, will definitely do the double cleanse! Thanks! 😊
Hi, Gemma.
I would really value your advice on camouflage make up for my very pale legs. I have so many red marks and bruises that they look awful, but tights are not an option!
It needs to be transfer proof, to avoid the humiliation of leaving brown marks on people's pale sofas or my white clothes!!!!
Camouflage makeup is a difficult one as no makeup is entirely transfer proof so you'll always have the problem of never being able to sit on a light coloured sofa without fear of transfer. To help the issue always apply a setting spray to the makeup to help seal it in xxx
@@PamperedWolf Ah, good idea, thanks!
What lipstick/gloss color are you wearing today? Lovely!
It's the Pat McGrath hydrating lippy from the Pat McGrath blush vid xxx
Hi, recently discovered you 😊 what’s your opinion about micellar water?
Hi there thank you for another great video! Are you still using tretinoin? I just watched your video from 1 year ago recommending Dermatica. Please could you update on whether you are still using/loving tretinoin or if your thoughts have changed now. Also do you have any thoughts on Environ products/retinol palmitate? It's so difficult to know what to choose. Thanks so much :)
Thank you for such a thorough video. I like to use a couple of drops of oil before I use sunscreen. Is this ok? Will this affect the efficacy of the sunscreen? If this is ok how long should I wait to apply sunscreen after the oil?
That's fine. Leave as long as it takes to soak in before you apply the sunscreen. xxx
Hi darling, I need some good advice about Chanel Le Lift creme (day-nignt). They say that "LE LIFT Crème is formulated with a new star ingredient: botanical alfalfa concentrate, as efficient as retinol and in a formula that is gentle on the skin". Should it be considered as a retinoid creme anyway? I use them both, day and night formulas, almost every day. Should I use something different every now and again? (I'm 50, with dry skin and few wrinkles). Thank you in advance! :-*
Retinoids are still gold standard and have far more research to back them up. Alfalfa concentrate may have some similarities, like it's small quantity of vitamin A, but it's effects aren't as potent. It does have lovely moisturising qualities though, and it's a great anti-oxidant xxx
Oder of application? I am always confused about what an essence is. I tended to think of them as light, even watery. But I don’t know what to think about snail mucin. I have COSRX 96% Snail Mucin Filtrate Essence. So essence, right smack in the face, BUT it’s texture is more like a rather thick serum and sticky (filtrate, you’ll know, also has naturally occurring HA). I’m using Tretinoin (with hydroquinone) and thought it would make a good buffer prior to Tretinoin. What do you think of that specifically, and placement in general (not Tretinoin specific)? Thank you so much. ps Tretinoin is early days, appr. 2 months & getting some mild irritation - redness and flaky on one spot, left side of chin).
Gemma is it ok to put your makeup primer on after SPF? Mine is By Terry with hyaluronic acid..so nearly another moisturiser!
Yes, just leave at least 15-20 minutes for your skincare to soak in first xxx
Do you have anything you like to use for those days when your skin is just super dry? Maybe you were in the sun all day long or wearing a mask all day and your regular moisturizer just isn't touching it?
