Can we get merch with "re-hydrate and heal"? 😍

I need to hydrate and heal my heart & soul, bro

I love how you show what works for you, even if it doesn't look glamorous. I have learned SO MUCH from your channel and my skin is starting to look pretty good for being nearly 40 (that's really weird to see written out. I'm nearly 40 😱). Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

one thing that helped me with hard water is to disregard all hacks/tips about leaving the face damp before doing my routine, wipe face dry then spray thermal/bottled water before my routine.

Are you sure you're not in NYC?!?! Those sirens sound awfully familiar!!!! 🤪

Very london-ish sounds 😂. Nice tips love it. I live in the desert and it's the same dry vibes I'm going to do it

It’s crazy to think that exact toner gave me minor chemical burns on my face cheeks after using it like a toner pack! How everyone’s skin is different !!

Tysm for using biodegradable cotton pads!! Our environment needs more humans behaving like this! 😊

Basically a DIY sheet mask

I’d love to see you try out and review those clip on tap water filters people are swearing by them for improving their skin and skin and ever getting rid of acne!

Would there be any way you could do a short or video on over 40 skincare routine? I trust your judgement more than all the others. ❤❤

Self care never looks great, but you look amazing afterwards 😉

“…..and heal” iconic ❤

I don’t know what it is about you and your brother, but I always feel so comfortable watching your videos.

What kind of cotton pads are those? I live in the US and I think of cotton pads as the round ones, I’ve never seen sheets like that.

Imagine you forget these were on and you answer the door to room service 💀💀

Anyone else hear the sirens in the background? I love round the corner from the fire station, ambulance station and the police station so hearing sirens is pretty common 😂 and now I can’t work out if they are on the video or I’m hearing things 😂😂 Oh P.S the elf hydration cleansing balm and elf hydration face cream 🎉 my skin loves them!!! Not tried the toner though 🤔

I'm going to give that a try, thank you! I'm going to order that toner. This video couldn't have come at a better time!

I’ve been loving the elf toner also! It’s amazing!

This is such a great idea 💡

What a great tip!! You look fantastic, and your skin looks beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing🙂.

I remember reading about this technique in a Japanese skincare book when I was younger, I could never find the big pads that they had used though 😭

You are absolutely gorgeous

I need to hydrate and heal! 😂

Yes!!!! Thanks for the tip ! ❤

Elf has some amazing toners!! Very hydrating!!

I freaking love that toner!! Just started using it, it’s awesome. Kind of wish it didn’t have witch hazel but you can’t win ‘em all! I don’t use cotton pads though, I just use it as an essence

Great idea 😊❤

Great tip!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for this tip, always happens when I am traveling

Great idea, wow. Thanks.

DIY sheet mask I like it! You could probably do this with one of those reusable sheet masks

Would a hydrating sheet mask work the same?

Ooh these are the lint-free cotton squares I recommended on the nail channel ☺️ but you prob had them already for skincare 🫶🏼🖤💜

Love videos like this. I haven’t gone to a salon in a while. My eyes didn’t puff up, but they where very irritated and the lashes fell off in a few days. So I just do cluster lashes now

What cotton pads are those?

What are those cotton pads?

what cotton pads are those? X

Dry, dehydrated, rough skin… My life!! 🌵

I would like to know brand or name on those cotton pads.

When I go to London it's an improvement from the hard water I have to deal with at home.

Ooh I have to try this! My skin’s been dehydrated AF

I lived in London for years but no problem. Once I moved to the south after marriage, that's when I noticed something was wrong. Now I'm in a new flat, I'm thinking of getting a water softener for the shower cuz boy do I not want what little hair I have to dissappear 😅

Haruharu makes a toner and cotton pads that are perfect for this AND they're almost always running a 20% off sale.

That specific ELF toner is so underrated!! It has such good ingredients. Aside from the marketed ingredients, which are amazing, It even has cholesterol in it to help with barrier repair. It’s not easy to find cholesterol in American toners.

So I live in the Paris region and our water is notoriously hard, moisturizing isn't enough, I have to use a mild salicylic acid toner because I always feel like there's this layer if something on my skin. I usually like it when the weather warms up so I can switch to cooler water because there tends to be slightly less minerals in it than hot water

Same here. Our other house which is in central Texas has hard water and it dries my face out really bad. And I have combo to oily skin. Good to know. I will invest in the Elf toner and some cotton pads.

Love doing this with my dear, klairs unscented toner and Pyunkang Yul cotton pads.

I never get Robert and James confused but the thumbnail confused my brain for a second. Genuinely thought it was Robert.

I work and live in a hotel. My skin is so dry. I do a lot of skincare, but my skin dries up regardless.

“and heeeaaaal 😌😌😌”

you still look great 😁❤️

Your skin is just gorgeous, James! 🤩 I have a question. Must it be hydrating toner? Or, would something like a hydrating serum work? I have a very fluid hydrating serum that is fluid enough to soak a cotton pad. Would that work as well, or would a toner be better? I have very dry skin, and when I travel, my skin just gets desert-sand-dune dry, so I'd love to use this tip! 💜😊

Can you recommend a toner without witch hazel? It burns my skin.

Interesting !

Thank you so much. My water is quite dry also.

Affordable sheet mask!! 😊

I felt the rehydration I neeeeed it lol

I’m really into my hydrating toner right now. Winter is rough

I’m traveling to a place with super hard water. My curly hair and dry skin are not going to be happy. My first stop is gonna be the grocery store to buy some ACV.

Idk what disaster is happening outside but I sure hope everyone is OK! 😅

What r the products????

I love *that* elf toner

How is that different to using sheet mask instead? Sorry I’m not expert in skincare and I’m here to learn ❤

If your skin is particularly dry/dehydrated would it be safe to keep this on overnight?

I thought those background sounds were here nearby 😂😂😂😂

james, question, do u get ur skincare under ur beard too??

James! I need some recommendations for oily acne prone skin, any recommendations? My glow recipe isn't helping 😩

What are the sheets you put on?

perhaps this is my sign to invest in a toner after so long 🤣

I love James

Pls make one for oily dehydrated skin

If u add a little bit OF SALT in your water It'll soften the water

James what are your thoughts on the La Roche Posay Circa B5 serum? I have just purchased it as my skin is a bit meh. Dry flaky area between my brows which I am totally blaming on blasting my face with the hot shower.

Short showers in lukewarm water helps ❤

Omg I use those same cotton things in the box

please make merch

I have hard water and hate it I’ll have to try this product

I don’t know but the glow recipe toner works for me in london 🥴 hydrating and exfoliation else pimples straight away

Omg great idea to make your own toner pads like in kdramas😂

Lol, my face skin turned to into molting reptile skin...no hydrating toner will heal me...but I do wonder about mixing glyerin & aloe gel and doing this, followed by a round with coconut oil...

I have a question. I have issue with my lips drying out during certain seasons really bad. To the point they can bleed. Can I do this on my lips to help with that? I can't seem to find any kind of decent lip balm or cream or product specifically that works well in healing the issue sooner rather than later once it's gotten super bad. Usually I just have to keep putting balm on constantly just to try and keep the dryness at bay but it doesn't tend to show results until the season that brings it is more or less over.

I can't believe that we don't have an ELF toner in America…

Basically a homemade sheet mask. Good ideas.

yknow i have fear of toner bc of the alcohol based ones from the 90s and 00s. this makes me think i might try it.

Toner unfortunately does absolutely nothing for my skin ☹️

I am absolutely in love with you

Paiper mache James returns 😂😂😂

Imagine living in London with dry / combination dehydrated skin. The water is 💩

I'm guessing you washed your face beforehand? You wouldn't just put toner on without washing first, right?

Idk what it is but I bave a super bad reaction to all E.l.f. products.

Uh. Is there an easier way to accomplish this? I dont have time to 'soak my face'.

so like a sheet mask but with less waste

Your skin's probably dry from a lack of cream.

This is why I don't clean my face in the shower, just my body. I use either the sink or a bowl of water to clean my face.

It's like 2-min craft DIY face mask 👀

Homemade mask! 😍

So you made your own mask.

it DOES look great
