As someone who suffered with moderate acne every day since the age of 15, skincare isn't a "luxury". It's part of getting to look "normal" and considering how many people think acne is from someone being unhygienic having acne can be a major social disadvantage. I remember when I was younger I wanted to be a massage therapist, but I knew that spas may not want to hire a massage therapist who had acne because they might think I appeared dirty and didn't take good care of myself. It's very depressing to have a condition that people assume is an indicator that you're lazy and dirty, even though you probably take better care of your skin than the average clear-skinned person does. Proper skincare gives me the ability to get my skin as close to clear as it's been since I was a teenager, and that has given me so much relief. It's truly an investment in my mental well being.

@TheSwauzz 2 жыл бұрын

Were you openly mistreated by people, so you began assuming everyone thought like that? I don't assume people with acne are dirty/unhygienic. We can safely assume many others agree with that statement. You can't allow your "disadvantages" to hold you back. You have to keep trying because not everyone reacts the same, thinks the same or feels the same. Whatever harmful ways people have treated you, I'm really sorry. I wish kindness was easier for people.

@cassthompson3386 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I don't know why you feel that way. Sure kids in high-school can be cruel, but other than that I don't know of a single person who thinks just because you have acne that you are unhygienic. ? But referring to the context of skincare being a "luxury", IT IS a luxury for many people whether they have acne or not. Many people just can't afford skincare. When it's a choice between food/paying bills, etc., or buying a skincare product/routine, obviously they HAVE to skip purchasing skincare products. I understand what you meant, but just because someone has acne doesn't mean they have the means to treat it. So yes, it absolutely is a luxury for many people.

@@cassthompson3386 it's not fair to judge this person's experience, it's their experience not yours.

For me skin care, washing my hair regularly, showering regularly is part of the routine that helps me a lot with depression: having a routine helps you get out of bed and do things even when I don't feel like it ... it's not just a "cuddle" it's a real routine to keep yourself clean. Obviously the routine is also made up of many other things that involve cleaning the house, running errands regularly ... It sucks to be so depressed that you don't have the strength not to brush your teeth.

Until recently, I worked in skincare for a brand that told us that everything was safe for the "most sensitive" skin, and that one of the founders had rosacea (as do I) and everything (including strong acids and multiple exfoliators) were safe to use. These were luxury priced products and they RUINED my skin. I've been using a prescription rosacea treatment, but I just picked up a few of Beauty Bay's products (both moisturisers, mushroom serum and gel cleanser) and I can't stress how impressed I am. My redness has gone down, my skin is soft, none of them sting on application, nothing is heavily fragranced or full of sensitising essential oils. If you need rosacea-friendly basics, they are great!

My skin absolutely loves elfs happy hydration moisturiser with hemp in, I use this at night and it's so moisturising but not too heavy or sticky! I've also recently started using the blue bondi sands spf and I'm liking that so far! Leaves me with a nice glow. I'd be interested to try the byoma cleanser as I currently use corsx good morning cleanser but it leaves me a bit dry after use! Thanks for the tips James ✨️💜

Superdrug naturally radiant renewing night cream. I absolutely love it, I have normal skin that gets dry/ oily depending on my diet and the weather. It smells lovely and the texture is great and my skin always feels so moisturised the morning after. It's one of those products that I always come back to

Loved this, thanks James! My skin really used to like the ordinary moisturiser- it drank it up, then I had the same as you where it just slid around my face. My fave bargain products right now are some of the primark skincare! I really like their HA lightweight moisturiser, the cleansing balm (although it feels more oily than my fave squalane) is really good at make up removal. I'm trying a few of their serums at the moment too- so cheap.

Finally! Actual budget skincare products. So many other videos have products close to or slightly over $20. If you have a couple steps and you’re spending close to $20 per product it’s no longer affordable. 😵‍💫

Hiya James! I was wondering if you'd be up for possibly starting a mini series of sorts regarding bath/shower products! I know Olay has recently come out with a line of body washes that include skin care supposedly, and there's also the myths and benefits of using natural products like the milk in your fridge for hydration- it would be rad to hear your thoughts on it! Love your videos, keep up the amazing work 🤍✨

Love a good budget skincare routine! My bf is just getting into skincare and I decided to order him some products from the Inkey List. I started him off with the Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser, the Q10 Antioxidant Serum, the Omega Water Cream Moisturizer, and the Ordinary's AHA and BHA peel for once a week. So far, so good, but I do need to get him to wear a good sunscreen!

I bought recently a moisturiser ‘ Rose Gold Rescue’ from Bliss for £5 in Boots and I am absolutely loving it! It’s got this very creamy and luxurious texture but sinks in to the skin so quickly! It’s definitely more for people with normal/combination/oily skin! It’s going to be my fav for summer! I honestly couldn’t believe how luxurious it feels for £5! It’s like a marshmallow/whipped cream texture.

Totally agreed on the inkey list fulvic acid cleansed. Tried it and instantly become my go-to cleanser. Have repurchased it already. Definitely non stripping and very gentle. It just ticks all the boxes for me! PS its always summer where I live and I have oily combo and sensitive skin! 😊

Tesco has a decent sun screen. Tbf I don't know how protective it really is but it's a moisturizer as well and it goes on really smoothly, looks fine under makeup, and doesn't leave a white cast on skin. I put in load and like the dewy look. They also have a nice vitamin c eye cream I pair with it during the day

@maureenberry5919 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! Vaseline is great stuff! I opt for the Cerave healing ointment because I use it on my lips (I keep the small tube in my bag) and I like the feel better than Vaseline but both are great for around the eyes and covering little cuts or ouchies (what my whole family uses if they are not actively bleeding). But Cerave is still pretty affordable and you get a lot in either type of packaging - tub or tube.

That’s so interesting, I haven’t seen a chemical sunscreen that wouldn’t sting my eyes in years (I’ve been using a separate spf around my eyes, the same one for a very long time, and every time I try something new, I regret it immediately) but I had absolutely no problem with the Garnier one! But I agree, it’s very good, especially for oily skin.
