Mary, this was SO much fun, thank you so much for inviting me to be in one of your videos. I very much enjoyed you raiding my essence collection and finding your favorites. 😃

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Can't wait to raid the serums next 🤣

[@cecilieharris]

@@SkinObsessedMary Haha, my serums awaits!

[@crunchchrissy]

Mary, this is the second time I have just been blown away when you said you were bare faced. Your skin is just so even toned and beautifully colored in the lips and cheeks, like you already have perfectly applied makeup on that I would have thought you had already put makeup on. Thank you for the lovely videos!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank you so much! You just made may day 😊

[@elizabethdudek213]

I'm excited! Top two picks ordered!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Oooh let me know know what you think! I got one but have to wait for @medicube until I'm back in the States.

Hi mary thank you for this video 😊 xx

[@SkinObsessedMary]

You are so welcome!

Loved this! I am an essence toner girl & so happy to see this content! I am especially interested in Korean skin care!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Which ones are your favourite??

[@gwenmanteo1]

@@SkinObsessedMary I use the Dr Ceuracle & like you, I like that one but it’s fairly new to me.

Yes. Make this a series.

I think you're absolutely right!

You are both SO beautiful! Thank you for this. Gothamista's essence has been in my radar for a while..

[@SkinObsessedMary]

You're so welcome! We had a ball doing it 🕺

[@karencancilla4728]

Yes I essence and it helps tremendously in keeping skin soft, hydrated & healthy. Yes it’s fun - the Dr. Ceuracle is great now I’m excited to try the Medicube

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I just realised it's going to call me a small fortune to ship Medicube to Ireland, so I'll pick up when I'm back in the US this summer...

[@AgingNaturallywithJodylynn]

Omg! This was great! I need to try that last one. The Medicube is a great one! ❤️🙏

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Soo many goodies! I went to purchase the Medicube but it costs a fortune to ship to Ireland 😡 I'll have to pick one up this summer when I"m back...

[@apples_and_orchards3205]

Great video Mary. Thanks for sharing I was wondering if you were close to filming a video where you show us how your stylist cuts your fringe? @Skin obsessed Mary.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Please don't be mad but I completely forgot to do it that last time I was in. I'll do it May when I'm in next. So sorry! I was thinking about this AFTER I left he salon 😬

[@melindagenitempo2359]

I have about 20 essences and toners. And about same in actives and serums. Favorite hard to pick but my ginseng serum I love. Fun video !!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank you!

[@claudiaglows]

What a fun video ❤

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thanks Claudia! We need to do another video together soon 😊

[@mariescott2820]

Essence girl here! I’ve been using Curel or Shiseido BUT will definitely be trying out a few of these! Thanks.

[@cecilieharris]

I use the Cure mist as well. Brilliant, especially during warm weather for a nice cool down and hydration double-up

[@SkinObsessedMary]

And I just picked up Curel when were shopping in London. I ❤️ it!

[@lilmerm8693]

Mary, if you like the Dr Cerecle, you have to try the Mary and May blackberry essence! It has your name on it literally 😉it’s lovely. I would say it’s a hint lighter than Dr. but it’s really a great product and the color is gorgeous. 😊

[@SkinObsessedMary]

It looks gorgeous! Might have to pick that up - thank you 🙏

[@emilyfussell6173]

Your skin is even more beautiful today! Do you have any foundation, tint, etc. on? Please tell!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank you!! Yes, I generally wear makeup for filming (the camera is so unforgiving 🤣). I was wearing Second Skin by Sculpted and it is divine. You can check it out here: go.shopmy.us/p-723613

[@karlaharvey2623]

YAY,! You finally did it! Such a great video. Thank you both bunches. At soon to be 63, I too am in love with Essences. I love love Dr. Ceuracles Milky toner. Although, I didn’t realize it was an occlusive one, soooo I no longer apply it numerous times before my actives, I wait and use it as next to last step in my pm skincare routine as well as my am routine. Mary, I only use a Korean spf and am using mo😊re and more Korean skincare. Except for my Tret and Retinaldhyde. I also purchased Benton 20% Vit C serum as It’s not Water Based and comes in an airless pump. Iam loving it. It also is Korean. I can’t wait to place an order with YesStyle which includes Essences and spf, serums and a few makeup products. What can I say: Koreans have the most gorgeous skin and I’m finding for my dry, dehydrated skin, it’s all about hydration. I no longer am wearing foundations. Can’t wait for you two do another video together. Thank you both.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I've had you in mind for months about making this video - thank you for your patience! And doing with Cecelie was so much more fun 🕺 I'm definietly going down the Korean rabbit hole....so many amazing products and they tend to be at incredible prices! Please do let me know what you order and share your thoughts 🙏

[@karlaharvey2623]

@@SkinObsessedMary that’s so sweet Mary,( well I hope anyways). I knew how much you love your toners and Essences, I couldn’t wait for you to share your favorites as I knew they would be great. Especially for us dry, dehydrated skin ladies. The Experiment Super Surge Serum has soo transformed my dry, dehydrated skin. Iam still shocked. I apply a tiny dot for under both eyes and Iam so excited as my concealer is going on so smooth and pretty now. I can’t wait for you two skin obsessed ladies to do another video together. So so thrilled I found your channel what over a yr ago? Anyways, sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Have a great wkend.

Love an essence, I love I’m from rice toner

[@cecilieharris]

I'm also using thsi one and love it. I didn't recommend this for Mary as she wanted very rich essences. But I love the I'm From rice toner for AM in particular. I actually love it so much that I also use it on my body. Bonus tip :)

[@marybarrett1457]

@@cecilieharris should I put vitamin c on before the rice toner if I would use in the morning?

[@cecilieharris]

@@marybarrett1457 I always put thinnest to thickest. So usually I would go rice toner first, then vitamin C.

Now I feel like I'm missing out here!!

[@traceyczajka7594]

Dear Mary, I enjoy your podcast very much and this episode was no exception. I am 59 years old and have dry, sensitive skin. I began looking for products to alleviate some of the symptoms related to eczema. I live in very cold Canada and I used to get eczema and perioral dermatitis every winter. I researched some skincare that might provide relief to dry, dehydrated skin with a damaged skin barrier. That brought me to Korean skincare, primarily snail mucin. After I began using snail mucin products I no longer got the eczema flares on my eyes, nor the perioral dermatitis. Well, that led me down the rabbit hole of Asian skincare. In my humble opinion it is superior to the North American skincare I have used previously. I too feel skincare is a ritual of self care and I enjoy all the steps in my skincare routine. Yes, I use toners, essences and ampoules. Right now I am trialing red ginseng products for mature skin (The History of Whoo). Enjoy the hydration and moisture rich essences, Mary!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I absolutely adore snail mucin - it does incredible things to my skin. Wha are your favourite Korean skincare products?

[@traceyczajka7594]

@@SkinObsessedMary Hello again Mary, my journey has taken me from starting with Cosrx snail mucin products (my favourite of these is the Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence because not only is it hydrating and soothing but it contains niacinamide and glutathione for brightening skin) to many of the skincare lines specifically promising to address my skin issues (dryness, sensitivity, eczema, hyperpigmentation and laxity).. I have loved Wishtrend Cera-barrier Soothing Ampoule and the UV Defense Moist Cream (sunscreen). I have tried many of the Korean and Japanese sunscreens and have loved them all - they are all well tolerated by my sensitive skin. To me Asian sunscreens are a hybrid of skincare and sunscreen. They are elegant formulas and affordable. I have used many products to improve my skin barrier, Manyo Bifida Biome products are my current favourite. I have also started using BB creams in addition to my sunscreen. It's a lovely way to enhance protection. My current favourite is the Numbuzin 3 Porcelain Base - Skip Tone Up Beige. Finally, I decided to try Korean red ginseng skincare. Ginseng boasts a host of well aging benefits meeting my needs. It all comes down to personal taste and issues you wish to address. One KZbinr that has been enormously helpful in terms of mature skin has been Odile Monod. She is such an intelligent and informative podcaster. All the best is wished for you in your journey, Mary. Regards from Canada!

[@valentina-pg4bj]

Mary, does Cecila wear SPF, & what is her favorite and what is yours???? Thank you so much, this was fun!!! And yes, I love the vegan Kombucha Tea essence. Dr. Ceurable! Yes, please do more videos like this!!!!!

[@cecilieharris]

Hi Valentina, yes, I'm definitely a sunscreen girl. Some of my favorite right now are sunscreens from P.Calm, Skin1004, Dr Ceuracle and Niche Beauty Lab.

@@cecilieharris Thank you, Cecllie, I'll have to check these out. This was so enjoyable & informative.

[@cecilieharris]

@@valentina-pg4bj Aww thank you, it was my first KZbin appearance, so I really appreciate that :)

[@sfkat]

I Love the Dr. Ceuracle Essence, AND, if you cut saran wrap with spaces for you eyes, nose, etc. Put on this essence and let sit under the "mask" for 25 minutes or longer, and your skin will look wonderful. I just ran out but I miss it. I ordered the Indie Lee Coq-10 Toner, but I may end up repurchasing this essence as well, it's so good. QUESTION: When you use the Dermelect Self-esteem Sleep Serum, Do you just put on top of any actives, exp. Tretinoin, or Peptides?..or do you use it alone or over moisturizer? I'd hate for it to make the products underneath ineffective since it's an exfoliator. Thanks!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

That's interesting about the saran wrap...I don't think I'm coordinated enough for that 🤣

[@Aurla-R2-D2]

Hi Mary, I don't use essences or toners. Hope you make more vids with lovely Cecilie, about other types of skin-care :) What lipstick are you wearing at the start of this vid? Gorgeous colour! ^_^

[@SkinObsessedMary]

We're planning another as we speak! It's the iconic Clinique Black honey lipstick with a Plumping Lip Liner by Catrice in 50 License to Kiss

[@Tonnnamara]

Mary, what is the difference between essences and toners and mists?

[@SkinObsessedMary]

There really isn't any difference (in my opinion). They're generally a thin layer that delivers whatever type of ingredients you want. Thinner than serums...
