    I tend to get overwhelmed about all the actives we are "supposed" to use. My skin does not like vit. C or peptides (I have tried SO many products.... I'm done.)

I feel like I need to get all these actives in etc and I don't know how to include them all lmao.

    I have used vitamin C, niacinamide, Etc.for 2 years with no results 🤨 so I quit. Only sunscreen does wonders. Actually I have considerably reduced the products I use to use after many tries.
    So for me :
    AM :
    - damp towel with lukewarm water that I just put on my face OR a splash of water 😂 OR a spray of grapefruit water that I love. Actually it depends on my mood 😂
    - hyaluronic acid serum
    - hydrating sunscreen
    PM :
    - double cleanse
    - hyaluronic acid
    - tretinoin
    - sometimes moisturiser before bed.
    I do a peeling once a month.
    And that’s it!
    My skin is healthier than ever! I’d say the 2 most important are sunscreen and tretinoin, with both you’re covered!
    Thanks James, I love your videos ❤️ and never miss any of them.
    Cheers from Paris 😃

    • @adk5997
      @adk5997 4 года назад +3

      You should do moisturiser in the evening. Especially if you are using watery actives like hyaluronic acid. Also some people might get irritation with tretinoin if they used no occlusive , so in that case is to use moisturiser cream before they apply tretinoin, or any other retinol product.

    • @karaleonor9638
      @karaleonor9638 4 года назад +1

      Ad K yes you’re right that’s why I have a moisturiser with Shea butter for the evening but sometimes I forget or I am too tired. So far I am doing good with retin a, I mean if I peel I back off to once every other day. Honestly I don’t see any difference from before, tones of products and just 2 or 3. I think skincare is very personal and we first go towards several directions before we find the right one.

    • @adk5997
      @adk5997 4 года назад +1

      Kara Leonor true, what works for you, but in general if your retin or hyaluronic acid is watery substance and you just apply that and nothing after, this pulls water out of your skin-so this can dry your skin.

    • @karaleonor9638
      @karaleonor9638 4 года назад

      Air T of course you should, I think we can expect results after 6-7 months of use, we must patient. I always try one active at a time, so if it doesn’t suit me I know which one and I can either keep it or put it away 😀 I thought that it was vitamin C that clears my skin but it’s because I use sunscreen everyday for 2 years and a half. My skin is clearer and I had to change the shade of my foundation. Honestly, my skin doesn’t beg for all the creams and serums i stopped using 😄

I only started skincare because I damaged it from one summer of gardening. Before that I just avoided the sun. I did wear spf, but did not reapply, and sweated most of it off.

    As someone with oily skin, I only cleanse my face in the morning during the summer when my skin is at its oiliest and sweatiest. I use mild cleansing pads so my skin gets exfoliated too.

    morning: cerave salicylic acid cleanser (sometimes), cerave moisturiser, la Roche Posay sunscreen
    Evening: clean it zero balm cleanser (if makeup), cerave salicylic acid second cleanse, cerave pm moisturiser
    Sometimes use a light acid. Its easy simple cheap and so much better!

      @volcomwave 4 года назад +9

      (Science teacher here) I’ve been noticing RUclipsrs using “inorganic” and “organic” more often to describe sunscreen filters very recently. It’s definitely a more scientific (and accurate) way of describing sunscreen filters. It’s moving away from “chemical sunscreen” which is a misnomer, but generally accepted as an organic filter. I always differentiated the two by the idea that inorganic (physical) filters act almost like a mirror where the UV rays bounce off a “physical” barrier. Organic (chemical) filters absorb the UV rays and make their chemical bonds vibrate and disperse energy.

      The Purito comfy water sun block is so good! I am 13 and have sensitive combination skin that reacts to chemical sunscreens. Like I cannot use any of the Banana Boat sunscreens etc. The texture of the Purito sunscreen is so light my family and friends at school are shocked if I tell them I am wearing sunscreen. My advice for people that have sensitive skin from my experience to see if you may be allergic to either physical or chemical sunscreens. This was how it helped me to find the right sunscreen for me. Good luck everyone.

      I don't normally comment but during lock down I was binge watching James because as we all know once you start you can't stop. He inspired me to actually start a skincare routine and I decided to try face theory and it's been over a month now since I started and my skin has never looked better. I normally don't go out of the house without my war paint (make up on) but my skin is just so damn good right now. I do have mild rosacea but it's really calmed down since I started using their products. I keep searching RUclips for reviews but there aren't many yet.

    I absolutely LOVE the Skin79 non chemical sunscreen, it's not too thick and spreads nicely. Key word: spread, don't rub! It can end up a little sticky but I find that's a great base for foundation or whatever I want on top, and if not I just dust some powder on and it doesn't stick unevenly or go patchy. In summer I use a light moisturiser all over underneath and it's fine, in winter I use a more hydrating cream plus an eye cream and I don't dry out at all. I'm very pale though so I have no idea if it leaves a white cast

    You bring up some good points, especially about dermatologists recommendations. I remember watching one talk & she was talking about her biases as a doctor. She said, “Look, I’m a dermatologist. No one comes to see me when their skin is wonderful and they’re having no issues. I am trained and primed to look for potential problems. That’s always going to influence my suggestions for you guys.” That really reframed my perspective on their recommendations. They’re the experts, of course, but it does really help to consider that part of it too.

    Hi, James (and also to anybody else reading who has experience with this). I have heard you say that you microneedled in the past and it helped you with scars. I remember years ago when this started becoming mainstream a lot of people were doing it with the tool they roll over their face and then would put a vitamin C serum on after for it to penetrate. I've since seen Hyram cringe when he sees skincare routines with that now because vitamin C can irritate, but I still see people recommend this here and there. What are your thoughts on this? Is it a big no no or is it beneficial for postinflammatory hyperpigmentation?

    Hi James, don't know if you respond to comments. I'm a 21 year old male, haven't really bothered with skin care in the past, but I wanted to try and get nicer looking skin (smoother, lighter, more even/consistent). I think my skin is slightly oilier than most, but I do get very dry skin around my eyes. I don't suffer from acne much anymore, but I do get the occasional breakout.
    Typically skincare for me has consisted of little more than washing my face in the mornings and before bed with plain ordinary bar soap. No exfoliant, moisturiser, etc. I've been very hesitant to experiment with a more in-depth skincare routine because ngl I get quite intimidated when someone comes out and tells me to use a dozen different products every day. It sounds expensive, and I'm worried that using too many products may do more harm than good. This video was quite helpful, but it left me with a couple questions; why do you use cleanser instead of regular bar soap? What're the disadvantages? Are serums really necessary?

Great video! I love a minimal routine!

      Hello! Yes; there's virtually no difference between a cleansing oil or balm. Balms are solid at first and the you need to warm them up in your hands before you apply them to the face. Careful, though: some balms have polyethylene, which is a plastic. I personally prefer an oil for that reason.
