HOW MANY IS TOO MANY?? 🧐 Essence Routine Soothing & Hydrating Routine

[@lauriemullay2960]

I guess I must be on Elles Squad!! I use quite a few of those! As you can never have enough essences, I will look into the ones I don’t have! 😍👍🤑

[@patriciaback5128]

I've just started with essence. My skin has changed so much as I've aged. I'm 62, still acne prone, but instead of oily I'm dry or dehydrated and sometimes have rosacea! So no more basic toners, and careful with exfoliation. I never thought about layering essences till I watched your video. What a great way to get glycolic and lactic, and even C, without stressing my skin! Thank you, thank you, thank you. 💕⚘

[@bmackenzie2740]

You got me started on the tatcha essence and I LOVE it! Since I’ve switched over to their skin care my skin has completely changed for the better! Thank you!!!

[@gabrielanoll9078]

I love how excited you get when you put your essences on. I have recently discovered essences and totally understand your obsession. It has taken my minimal skincare routine, which I always regarded as a chore, to 10-15 minutes of "me time" where I truly enjoy pampering my skin and watching the vast improvements in my skin, which I have neglected terribly for 47 years, up until only 3 months ago. I love your videos, I have learned so much from them, and they have also prompted me to research all things skin care and how to best rectify my particular skin issues...learning about ingredients...different compositions...and where it's important to spend $$$ and where not so much. Love your energy, keep up the great work. Much love 💗

[@chrissymoss514]

I love the "I'm From" Mugwort Essence. Its incredibly hydrating. The Tatcha Essence isn't so good. It has phenoxyethanol listed in the ingredients. The following is from the ORGAID site, but many other scientific/skincare sites can be found that echo their findings. :- Phenoxyethanol Used as an anti-bacterial in cosmetics and stabilizer in perfumes, phenoxyethanol is actually very harmful. It is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin, especially to nursing mothers or infants. Phenoxyethanol can have an effect on the brain and the central nervous system. It irritates skin and eyes, and can cause blistering on skin as well. Although many skin care products (even some organic products as well) use phenoxyethanol in small amounts that is “not harmful” to skin, if you use the product multiple times a day, every day, it can cumulate and possibly affect you. Moving onto the Pai Essence you mentioned. Unfortunately it contains 5 different types of fragrances!! I was shocked Elle! Why a decent product puts fragrance/parfum in skincare products (or cosmetics) is a crying shame. It seriously needs to stop. So sorry you be the barer of bad news but I thought you would appreciate knowing. Much love always, 💜💜💜

[@-nellie-m3711]

Chrissy Moss I agree totally, I used to follow Elle’s skincare routine to a tea and noticed No difference to my skin except my bank account, until I switched my whole skincare products and now I can notice a Huge difference in my skin and so does everyone else that knows me, even my hubby has noticed a difference in the texture and feel of my skin....I’m not being disrespectful towards Elle because I love her knowledge on skincare and makeup it’s just what works for some doesn’t always work for others @60 years young...🇦🇺💓💓...Plus a lot of the products she talks about aren’t available here in Australia 🇦🇺 and to have them shipped and the exchange rate, I almost had to sell my soul to the devil Lol 😂

[@chrissymoss514]

@@-nellie-m3711 I love Elle and can't praise her highly enough. I'm now becoming very aware of ingredients, especially those that are harmful either to us AND/OR marine life. If there's an expectation that any one person would know everything then just that's bonkers. Passing on, hopefully, useful information is key and we have such a wonderful community here that enables us to do just that. A great site to check for ingredients in a product is : incidecoder Just type in the BRAND name and then scroll down the list of products provided. It's so easy. I'm 60 this year and I've quite possibly done tons of damage to my skin over the years. Now I try so hard to do my best .... on a budget 😊! xxx xxx

[@alli_loves_skincare7842]

I remember when I first started watching you a couple years ago, you were talking about essences and I was like, what is an essence? You pointed me to your video on essences and now I am addicted to them!! 😝. Currently I have 4. Hehe. The first one I ever bought was the cosrx snail mucin, which was also the first time I had heard of putting that on my face and I have been hooked ever since. If you have not tried it, currently I have been using the Exuviance essence which also contains PHA’s and I love it. The feel is so moisturizing. Not sure if they are cruelty free, eek. I know you’ve used exuviance in the past but possibly you’re not able to now. Anyway, Thank you for everything. 💗

[@MassageTherapyTexas]

I love you SO MUCH, Elle! You crack me up and teach me so much. 🥰 Today’s aha: eye cream FIRST!!! This is something I’ve been worrying about as of late.

Elle - I just love your personality! You always make me smile while I'm learning. I do have two questions for you. 1. If you were going to add the Josie Moran Pure Argon Milk to this routine, where would you add it into the line up? If you were going to add Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 1970 to this routine, where would you add it into the line up? Also, I'd love to see a video on your thoughts on Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 1970. There seems to be strong feelings on this topic and I so value your opinion.

My other favs are from blithe 5 beans (viscous for winter)and 9 seeds (thinner for summer) cosrx, hanskin and benton are medium viscosity , and secret key which is thinner.

I have been using Asian skincare for several years and try to finish my skincare routine at night with a rich emollient cream and a sleeping mask/cream over my face once the rich emollient cream has been absorbed. I awaken to soft, plump skin. For reference, I am 59, with a little bit of an oily t-zone and combination skin. I usually do a double cleanse first thing in the morning and at night. My daytime routine is minimal compared to evening but the essences are the best! I do use tretinoin 5 out of 7 nights. I love doing my skincare routine because it helps release any tension from the day and is the best self care I can do for myself.
