How To: Moisturize Your Face with French Facialist Isabelle Bellis

[@yasmin_e09]

her voice and presence is incredibly soothing

every movement she makes is so graceful, I bet she'd be phenomenal at ballet!

[@kathryndesplanque7958]

At 0:46 Isabelle mentions using thermal water to neutralize "calcium" and chlorine. Wanted to decode for everyone! She says the same thing in the How To: Clean Your Face video but says "calcaire" instead of calcium. Calcaire is French for limestone. French water is really really heavy in lime deposits (ie "hard water") and NYC water is also really hard water. This is part of the reason why French beauty routines often avoid using tap water.

[@diannew6066]

Thank you for explaining thatm Kathryn. I have hard water where I live too, so this is valuable information.

[@Shayri01]

The water supply in my home has been tested, and it's potable, good water with the good figures of all minerals and everything water should be. So my question is do I still need the thermal spray when my water has been proven to need no filtration or RO?

[@kathryndesplanque7958]

Ya that's a good question. I'm not a dermatologist but I like to read up on this stuff for fun. Let me vomit up what I've learned but I'm no where near the final word on this. I guess I'd say that if you have potable rather than hard water, you can probably skip thermal water. Thermal water might be a good replacement and soother for hard water if you didn't want to try a "water free" face regime with micellar water (another French thing!). Otherwise, I'm also a bit confused about the benefits of thermal water otherwise. Avène claims that their thermal water helps to preserve the "epidermal barrier" but generally, the skin's acid mantle is considered an important part of this barrier. The acid mantle however is acidic, on the lower end of the pH spectrum (4.5-6.5), whereas Avène thermal water has a pH of 7.5. Often, when dermatologists recommend soap-free cleansers, it has to with how soap tends to have a very alkaline pH of 9-10. This ends up disrupting the skin's acid mantle leaving your skin more vulnerable to bacteria and infection. So perhaps Avène can help to counteract the alkalinity of soap without being too harsh. thebeautybrains.com/2014/05/is-soap-bad-for-skin/

[@Shayri01]

Thank you. That's certainly more than I knew. I knew about skin's general ph but didn't know about avene's. And I was seriously considering buying it sometime because I've been seeing it a lot recently.

[@CobraCai02]

Just a note - potable water could be categorized as hard water, mainly it just means that it is drinkable. Some mineral "mixtures" in water are drinkale within reason. But hard water can differ between private wells, water towers, etc. Purified water would probably be the best option.

[@modelno2004]

Four and a half minutes of her voice is more relaxing than an hour of yoga or meditation. Awesome.

[@dear_totheheart]

I adore her soft and gentle demeanor - how lovely and refreshing! Thank you so much for a wonderful video and much advice Isabelle!

[@laurenwallace786]

So ASMR-y!

What's that?

[@staceyyvonne9854]

that's what I thought too! right away sooo happy to see others think that too. :)

[@AuntieFa]

Shayri Garg I had to Google it. It stands for "Autonomous sensory meridian response"

[@everettlopez9127]

Why is her voice so soothing. I wish I could hire this woman to just like whisper skincare facts to me while I get ready in the morning or clean my house.

[@runkli93]

I don't even know how many times i've watched this video i am addicted to it please make more videos with her she is amazinggg

[@flordluna7]

I can't stop watching it, this is so calming.

[@aclementine9928]

I'd love to know more about how to look after hormonal acne and pms skin that would be splendid

[@xxtamyxx6055]

a clementine I agree !

[@erinkilfoy4850]

Agreed! As someone who had it before and gets it from time to time, I would love to see a gentle/more natural approach.

[@tdelioncourt1268]

I agree. I changed my routine 3 month ago and I'm seeing a nice improvement but it needs to be perfected. I use: Sephora_green tea micelar water + La roche posey_Effaclar gel + Evian_water spray + La roche posey_Effaclar duo cream + Erborian_yuza mosterizer (face cream+eyes gel) + Avène_sunscream emulsion. // My cousin she had small hormonal acne, she uses only: Bioderma_micelar water + Ducray_keracnyl gel + a bunch of Caudalie mosterizing products. And it works great with her, I tried it but since mine is heavier I use now a stronger method ^^

[@aclementine9928]

I've been using Avene TriAcnéal, Avenes Cleanance micellar water for oily skin, Garnier's Pureactive 3-in 1 clay, Cutanyl (from doctor), Hexomedine transcutanée, la Roche-posay's zinc spray. Evening primrose oil supplements and Diatomaceous earth. Have had no more hormonal chin acne (although still have some spots on left cheek and one or two on other cheek but seems to be going away). Patience is key I suppose!

[@vliciouss]

.

[@suzukitomoe2613]

Love this to bits. I've tried out her method for applying moisturiser and it works so well! I once tried massaging my skincare into the skin instead of caressing it like she does and ended up with irritated, inflamed skin :(

[@DaniHMcV]

She is so beautiful and her skin looks so, so healthy. I love how she is so gentle on her skin and though I try not to be harsh, I obviously do need to be much lighter with my touch. I am working on all those things she mentioned to try to make my skin healthy enough to wear no makeup. I'm not quite there, but close. I now only spot conceal problematic areas. I really want my skin to breathe and not be suffocated by products and makeup. Given how youthful and gorgeous her skin is, she is definitely an authority in this area. Beautiful person.

[@KayleySakamoto]

I love this series so much! It's nice to hear about skincare from a facialist

[@rania9332]

[@lukethomas658]

I loved the little tour at the beginning, so beautiful.

[@Nadia609]

Actually what I know and what several dermatologist have said is that you should wear your sunscreen during the day always. No matter what the weather is. Coz even if it's raining there is still sun and there is still UVA rays which can damage your skin and increase the chances of having skin cancer. You also need to re-apply after 3 hours coz the sunscreen wears off.

[@May71234]

Nadia Al Ofcoarse dermatologist will tell you to wear sunscreen all the time. It's part of their business for selling it, even when you don't need it.

[@laurenbi]

They also neglect the fact that the sun plays an important roll in vitamin D production.

[@MiepMiepRoadRunner]

@@May71234 Dermatologists aren't selling sun screens. & when is the time you would need sunscreen? When your skin cells are being damaged? Because that happens from the first ray of UV. That can be analytically measured.

[@MiepMiepRoadRunner]

@@laurenbi Not the sun itself, rather UV rays. Now I kindly ask you to look at some actual data and studies where they have followed the relation of vitamin D production and sunscreen use. You may surprise yourself.

[@MiepMiepRoadRunner]

@Madelen Do you have evidence of what ever chemical you were referring to being absorbed? I would honestly be curious to know which ones you meant, since I wondered which would be tiny enough to do so. Generalizing synthetic sun screens makes no sense, there are so many. Not everything is the same. Since you mentioned there is actual science behind it: Show me where it's not reliable.

[@RaisingSerge]

This is my favorite video on the internet

[@eveeve7643]

[@staroliva6502]

[@ericavigil9567]

UVA uvb rays can still cause damage on cloudy days and even through windows when your inside

[@RobakJasmyn]

Her voice is forever soothing.

[@daniak6699]

I like the fact that she does not pile on products, I never really liked that and I am not sure how 5 products at once can act to improve your skin. In regards to the spf thing, yes the general consensus is wear spf always, however, again, I believe in balance and I believe that your skin also needs to see a little bit of sun if you are not using products that can make it sensitive like accutance) so perhaps once in a blue moon you can go outside when it is cloudy without it.Think about the kids that always have hypoalergenic, antibacterial things, they are always more sensitve because your body need to learn to react to it. The beauty industry is a huge business and they invest imensly in convincing you that you need things like 100+ spf n the rain and 12 different types of products. I am saying this as a bit of a beauty addict who likes to try things and of course buy their products.

[@BD-il7is]

One of the reasons she has amazing skin - she doesn't wear makeup - quality skincare makes great skin rather than using makeup to cover up flaws and make it worse

[@mshkolazmarz]

so sooothing but at the same time makes me want to treat my skin at an extreme level !

[@MrDrelitus]

Really dislike when she advises people to not where sunscreen on rainy days. Very irresponsable. "But sunscreen really sticks to your skin" it's either that or botox and skin cancer. Wear sunscreen everyday, people.

[@turnstyletouchbunny]

Mome Gnome wtf are you even saying do you hear yourself

[@starvaleri8777]

I’m allergic to sunscreen.

[@lovedbyjesus7217]

We dont wear sunscreen and we live .... Just take care of your skin and stay out of the sun

[@MH-yu7gw]

You don’t need sunscreen everyday. It can also be bad for you in and of itself. Our skin also needs some sun (to absorb vitamin d). Be careful in the sun for sure but how this translated into wear sunscreen in the rain I don’t know.

[@RaisingSerge]

My mother is 75 and she has never wore sunscreen in her life and she looks like she is 50. What gives wrinkles is SUGAR+ SUN That's all.

[@barbm8822]

have avoided the sun and used eye cream since my 20s. I don't have any wrinkles, just the typical droop around the mouth and a few dark spots, nothing major. I don't spend a lot of $$ on it. keep it simple. chasing perfection is exhausting

[@allywallis5504]

Not to be a hater but I recognize bunny whiskers when I see them. If this lady has been getting botox for years as those "whiskers" suggest, it's kind of disingenuous to suggest that your skincare routine is solely responsible. I've heard this about french women - that they do much more in the pursuit of beauty than they will ever admit.

[@jesusisapisces]

Ally Wallis Yeah, I agree.

[@EMSpdx]

Thank you for being first to say this. I get that she is a facialist and this is part of her job. HOWEVER, come on- lets all be real. Aint nothing wrong with fillers or Botox- just admit to it!

[@emilybelle9319]

Does she have to admit to having botox in every public appearance she makes? To every client? Let her be.

[@la-chicagitana9949]

MOST women will not admit they have had anything done in the pursuit of beauty..

[@allywallis5504]

Na. Only when she's trying to sell me a youth enhancement product.
