I'm pretty sure ponds cold cream is petroleum based. Her poor pores. If she used it as an oil cleanse step to remove her makeup, *then* gently washed her face with a cleanser (or even the pears soap), and followed it with a moisturizer... That would probably be better.

@@sanityisrelative Mineral oil and petroleum based moisturizers are not bad for the skin and doesn't clog pores, that's a myth and the rabbit ear test that stated this was debunked at least a decade ago (but they still bad for the environment, for sure), what destroyed her skin surely was all the scrubbing, it destroys the stratum corneum and leaves the "second layer" of skin exposed and sensitive. If i rub my skin as she did i would probably end up on ER for an allergic reaction or friction burn, my skin is really finicky and i already get all red and rash-y just for drying my face with a towel after showering lol

Hi Jessica! If you liked how good Ponds Cold Cream was at taking off makeup, you can literally just use petroleum jelly or coconut oil to achieve the same effect without the risk of the same allergens as what may be upsetting your face from Ponds. You can also check out the Ponds moisturising cream if you liked the scent, it's the blue lid instead of the green. You rub that in and it absorbs into your skin, moisturising it! I used to love it but my skin began objecting to something in it. I think the fragrance. But also, rubbing hand soap on your face was almost definitely what upset your skin so much. Hand soap is like, nuclear, and faces are very delicate. I loved this video and hope you're doing well x

[@thesadlvr899]

Ella Rose Hi Jessica What you need after the cold cream was a vanishing cream/moisturizer. Back in the day there were different types of cold cream.

I'd love to see you do try the Korean skincare routine. I feel like that would be much more gentle on your face. Also, my guess is the daily scrubbing is what caused the breakouts and dryness. I'd only recommend that once or twice a week, especially since you have such fair skin.

[@bimbolecter9764]

As someone who loves Skincare and following Skincare trends, I can tell you that the best thing you can do is do the bare minimum. Wash it, moisturize it, SPF if that's a concern and that's it. The rest is really optional

[@nany____]

If your skin looks and feels good without 500 steps skincare the absolutely best thing you can do is keep it that way! People jump on the trends bandwagon and forget that not everyone need all that stuff. if i just wash my face with soap and water it gets dehydrated and crusty and extremely oily, but also if use moisturizer my face gets horrible breakouts and sometimes full blown allergic reactions, so i'm one of the people that NEED a skincare routine 😒

[@liv1639]

Skincare routines are fun if you want to address certain specific issues like hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores etc but all the fancy steps aren't necessary. Especially if you have dry/sensitive skin. Wash your face when you feel you need to with a gentle cleaner (without sls ideally so it's not stripping) follow up with a moisturiser that's not scented and has lots of humectants, sometimes from cerave for example and in the day, add an spf. That's all you need.

[@steinistein8611]

Totally agree. All I do to my skin is wash it with water in the morning and evening, if it feels a little dry I apply a little jojoba oil. If it's a little flaky I gently exfoliate after showering with a very soft towel and that's it. Never looked better.

[@amyg9518]

Hi! I also have a very similar skin type. The little spots are comedogenic breakouts from the cold cream. The soap is definitely drying, and I would check your products for lanolin if you have a wool allergy (but you probably know about that bit). Staying far, far away from fragrance is a great idea, and cold cream always has fragrance. Your skin tone did look more even initially in the routine, before the bad caught up with the good, but I definitely recommend against harsh rubbing. Nothing that stings your skin is worth trying more than once. Perhaps instead of cold cream, you might try a noncomedogenic oil like sweet almond or grapeseed. I find any foaming cleanser causes dermatitis for me, so I use cleansing oils and products specifically for sensitive skin. Starting with the gentlest product you can find may produce more success in the future. On the other hand, if genetics has given you a blessing (which it clearly has), there's no point trying to fix what's not broken!

[@riggs20]

The key I've found with skincare is consistency. If I change a product or skip it for a few days I wind up with issues. I also find that being gentle is far better than being rough like they thought then (wish I'd have learned those tips in my teenage years!). Ponds cold cream is actually incredible though. It gets off everything like waterproof mascara and those all-day lipsticks. I wash with a normal cleanser after or use a toner (like a normal one or Witch Hazel if I'm feeling old-school) and then a moisturiser at night and an SPF in the morning. A toner is just if you have oily skin like me and don't want too much extra oil on your skin, esp at night.

[@superCappy27]

“Like my grandmother, but gay” killed me.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I also often get asked for my “skin care routine”. Which is thus: When I’m in the shower, I gently scrub my skin with an exfoliating glove (very gently!), with only warm water. That’s it. If I do get any dry skin in the winter, I put some moisturiser on- just some cheap stuff I picked up at the chemist. That’s it. I think it’s because I’m maintaining my natural oils- not stripping them off with any sort of cleanser. I’m still removing any dirt or dry or dead skin with exfoliating, but I’m not removing any oils. That’s my theory, at least. And it works for me. I get many compliments on my skin, and even though I’m 32, I do still occasionally get carded (even though legal age is 18, they say they have to ask anyone who looks 25 or under- and while I’m pretty sure I definitely don’t look 18, I probably do still look like I’m in my early to mid 20s).

Love this! I've been using ponds cold cream cleanser for years and will never use anything else. I use it as a make up remover (including on my eyes, but the tiniest amount) then dermologica cleanser and moisturizer after.

[@adriandatura]

If you ever do want to learn a bit more about skincare, I've found Hyram's videos are a life saver!

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

I was so surprised to see you without make up and with eyebrows! I mean, I watched the video when you had the micro blading done, but it still surprised me! They look marvelous!

[@imperialphoenix]

Oh God I'm older than Jessica. You are so much more sophisticated than me D:

[@CatBarefield]

imperialphoenix she’s more sophisticated than most people, its her whole brand hahahah

[@karennicholas2420]

I use a warm washcloth to remove Ponds versus tissue and it seems to work well for me 😊 Love it! And it will takeoff stubborn mascara with ease! 💛

[@Oxalis_stricta]

I rarely do anything other than washing my face when I take a shower. I constantly get people asking me what my skin care routine is because my skin is so soft.

[@xzonia1]

Same. It is nice to not have to worry about my skin.

[@devorahzambas8893]

Jessica, if you loved the massaging and the makeup removing power of the cold cream, a good oil cleanser will have a similar effect and feeling.

[@richieordeanidc536]

you look and sound exactly like my aunt if she was a 1950s lesbian instead of a 45 year old nurse whos obsessed with horses

[@isabels2432]

I love this! And I would love you to try a 1920s skincare routine - as it’s my favourite era. Or even Korean skincare routine?

[@akamba2133]

Ok, i am re-living my own past experience through your video, I did the exact same thing a while ago when I started going into skincare. And guess what? I also developed dry patches and several breakouts at the same time. This is what I learned: the dry patches were caused because of all the rubbing, it doesn't matter if it's with a cloth or a tissue, to rub your face with anything that strongly is a bad idea, please don't do that. And the breakouts were caused by the cold cream, it's very heavy for the skin and can cause clogged pores, but it is very good at removing makeup. So what I did and actually worked fine for me was to switch the order, I removed my make-up with the cold cream massaging it gently, skipped the tissues and removed the cream with water, then I washed my face with the soap to remove whatever was left so it wouldn't clog my pores, again skipped the towel for removal, just splashed water. Then my normal mosturizer and was good to go. Eventually my skincare evolved and I no longer do that routine anymore but it did a lot of a difference compared to the first attempt.

Hope you are well. Hi Claudia hope you are well.So enjoy your vlogs .Thanks for upbeat attitude. Love ya

[@berlineczka]

Have you thought about doing a collab? E.g. with James Welsh? He can create a skincare routine for you and you can check if it works for you.

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I like inkey list stuff. Oh and lots of sunblock. I love the laugh after your wife says "only dirty minds"

[@Sophie-tq5hn]

I can’t remember what the teal pears soap does but it’s definitely different from the traditional amber pears soap

[@sonyadevries3726]

It’s for sensitive skin .or so the package says .has aloe in it tho . We purchased some . The amber is a bigger hit in my house .I’m the only one to hand wash with the teal one .my 5y.o mentioned how now she needs to wash her hands again after washing with it lol

[@georgiagoodwin5995]

I do special effects makeup around Halloween and ponds takes that off stuff of like a god send!

[@nocta66]

So, disclamer for everyone, with the proof of this video : soap is too agressive for your skin ! Whoever you are, you're not meant to litteraly wash your face that much. Your skin needs rest ^^ the cream seems great however.

[@cruellykawaii]

soap ...is not bad for your face. wipes are not enough to clean your skin if you wear makeup every day

[@cruellykawaii]

@Clementina Yael Severina M. Clementina Yael Severina M. It depends on the soap, on the oils, on your skin. Just making blanket statements like "don't wash your face!" "Soap is bad" etc, aren't really helpful because everyone's skin is so different. But really, honestly, a gentle soap made for the face can be just as, if not more effective than expensive cleansers. I don't like the implication that people really need to invest in specific products or routines when the basic act of washing your face can do so much for you. Like it doesn't really NEED to be any fancier or more complicated than that

[@meganprogress6333]

Even without makeup you are STUNNING. The vintage makeup is just *chef's kiss*

[@ConsoleHandheldGamer]

I vote Jessica and Claudia for Queen and Queen when the current queen retires.

[@LunaTheGoat6]

I’m 27 and didn’t have a skincare routine at all until a couple of years ago...mostly thanks to laziness, relatively well behaved skin and being incredibly sensitive to almost everything with soap/fragrance/oils. 😆 But I just started feeling like my skin needed a little daily loving and after a few failed attempts (with angry-faced results) I finally found what works for me. 🙂 Sure there’s nights where I absolutely can’t be bothered with any of it...but I always do it coz it’s nice to take those few minutes to relax and take care of myself.

[@Rebster]

Jessica: 31, never needed products Me: needing a daycream/moisturizer from age 16 after every shower, otherwise it feels like my skin is super tight and it hurts. Yes, I have very dry skin, and still a bad skin routine. Also, I am allergic to some moisturizers and others make me break out and somehow still leave my skin dry.

[@anonymous78546]

Thank you for this feel good video. I'm going to try this. I love all your videos! Love from the US.

I LOVE THE COLOUR AESTHETIC TOO!!! 😁 Matching is the best.

[@mariannaplusthree]

Aww I used cold cream when I was in like middle school because that’s what my mom gave me

[@bparker2872]

You injured your skin by attacking it with the washcloth. Do it another week but do it properly. Use about half as much cold cream and remove it with a soft dry washcloth. Dove is the soap of choice and for goodness sake use more water. BTW all my eye makeup comes off with the cold cream. Don't rush it!

[@raeperonneau4941]

Did you use precious toilet paper to wipe your face? 🤯 The English must not be Covid19 hoarding. 🤣 The best skincare routine is the one that works for you. 😉

[@graceelizabeth130]

Rae Peronneau Oh no we definitely have the toilet roll crisis. I guess she must just have some or it was filmed a few weeks ago maybe.

[@raeperonneau4941]

Grace Elizabeth Sorry you have the problem as well but grateful we’re not the only loonies on the planet.

[@kbkbkbklb]

It was filmed at the start of March and the toilet paper crisis had only just started to unfold

Thank you for sharing this. You have beautiful skin. It never occurs to me you might not have a skincare routine. Mine is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! I'm 60, but still have really soft hEDS skin. It's just really wrinkled
