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

[@yourmomsfav23]

We need merch!!!!

[@kristaladelea]

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 ❤

[@ARareAndDifferentTune_13]

If your pic is anything to go by then hell yeah your skin looks gorgeous! And that orange/bronze color on your eyes is doing SO MUCH for your blue eyes. Someone knows her color theory!!! 💅

[@kristaladelea]

@ARareAndDifferentTune_13 thank you!! You just made this old lady's 🥰🥰🥰

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

[@palestar828]

Same..

[@lulucent]

bless your heart ❤

[@tomato2088]

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.

[@aeriii4681]

No it's like rinsing your hair in distilled water. The minerals in hard water dry your hair and skin, so using Bottled or de-mineralized water helps

[@udontevenwannaknowbruv]

Yess you can use the avene thermal water! (I can't tag you) I use either that one or the one from la roche possay

[@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts]

Never wipe your face especially if you have dry skin!! Always softly PAT it dry with a soft CLEAN cloth, if you don’t have a soft clean cloth or towel use paper towel but again only pat/blot dry never rub! Same with applying powder to dry skin 😉💘

[@Leo9ine]

But... Thermal water is from hot springs. It's full of minerals. It's hard water! 😂

[@tomato2088]

@@Leo9ine not all water with minerals is hard water. Hard water has high ph and has a lot of minerals like limestone and chalk that dry out and irritate skin in high enough ppd

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

[@martinezanamaria26]

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

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!

[@Tttt28882]

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

[@angiemcclaine8990]

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. ❤❤

[@palestar828]

is he 40 or older?

[@barehope]

You are absolutely gorgeous

[@stevens716]

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 !!

[@sailormf]

The first retinol I ever tried was Honest Beauty and I had chemical burns, it was so painful. Apparently Jessica Alba says that serum gives her “fresh youthful vibes” I guess that makes sense when you have to grow a face full of new skin. 😐

[@SoDarnSatisfying]

ELF skin products freak my skin out, too.

[@nememe3676]

SAME!!

[@Dashomin]

I mean yeah of course every skin is different

[@lb8141]

[@cindypalumbo7503]

Elf has some amazing toners!! Very hydrating!!

[@mykidsaresupercute]

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

[@ChocolateBabe_]

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

[@BearScowe]

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.

[@janinebean4276]

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

[@Mayi247]

Yes!!!! Thanks for the tip ! ❤

[@saffj4147]

you still look great 😁❤️

[@TwinkiesforDinner]

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!

[@jennifermolina4396]

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.

[@MoodyChavier]

“…..and heal” iconic ❤

[@janinebean4276]

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

[@BeautyByAge]

Great tip!

[@bandanaworm]

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

[@Ling-LingPA]

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

[@snake5485]

i want to try this but it has glycolic acid and i Don't know if using it everyday will irritate my skin specially if the use it in morning

[@dreamcatcher75418]

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

[@Kate-yu5xk]

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

[@CBForensic]

Great idea, wow. Thanks.

[@AutumnElaine]

Short showers in lukewarm water helps ❤

[@debrandw246]

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

[@aeolia80]

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

[@FloorSugar]

Great idea 😊❤

[@lookitsgrandma]

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

[@CarmenxSullivan]

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 😭

[@khalid.367]

Me too 😅

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

I love *that* elf toner

[@coconanigans3533]

Would a hydrating sheet mask work the same?

[@jessicasnow3373]

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.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

If there's a Muji store near you, they have those. I'm budgetarian though, so I use the cotton gauze that's nearing expiration in my hospital and take those home instead.😆

[@paddyolten4031]

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

[@cozyrosie]

Basically a DIY sheet mask

[@michellesimmons2756]

you can get compressed cotton sheet masks that you hydrate with any serum/toner etc

[@Phoenix-369]

That's common in Korean skincare 101. You grab a tub, and fill it with the thinnest cotton pads you can find. Then you fill the entire tub with your essence or toner & refrigerate. Trust .. Your skin will thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@onepiecegotmeinlove691]

What are those cotton pads?

[@jiophone2412]

Pls make one for oily dehydrated skin

[@simlover00]

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 😅

[@caitlinboyle2741]

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

[@nk-ru6dz]

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

[@MrsPamelaHunter]

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

[@MariahWatkins2007]

Thats the toner i was using for a while and then out of nowhere i started having a reaction to it. Bright red hot burning skin & was immediately washed off. Waited a couple months and same thing 😭😭😭 had to throw away 2.5 bottles. Now I am afraid of trying any toners and not sure about other skincare stuff. I do use the cosrx in the bottle thats a clear gel and the one in a jar thats the white slime like one. Lol I do really like them but don't use everyday just to be safe.

[@bostonreese4807]

[@KelUK46]

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.

[@elettramia6380]

Toner unfortunately does absolutely nothing for my skin ☹️

[@milliereeves2215]

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

[@beardoodle9835]

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! 💜😊

[@lorrefl7072]

In winter I have superdry, flaky skin since I've began menopause and what helps for me is to put some Bepanthol Cream on my face in the evening after my hydrating serum. It's the only thing that works when my face it at its driest.

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...

[@alosialee]

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.

[@rchankelly]

Aquaphor saved my dry sometimes cracked lips. My preferred one comes in a tube, but it also comes in a lip balm, stick balm, and large tub versions. Good luck.

[@alosialee]

@Rebecca Chan Kelly yeah I've tried all those. Aquaphors medicated one is the best one thus far I've found but it still does the same. Doesn't actually hit the core issue or heal the cracked and bleeding spots. Funnily enough I recently tried a mask with hyaluronic acid and niacinimide and let it sit on my lips instead of around them for the designated time and within a couple days my lips were both healed and haven't gotten dry or cracked since. So I may do it from now on at the start of every winter.
