Instant Glass Skin, Barrier Repair & The Worst Smelling Product EVERRRRR - Skincare Hits & Sh*ts

[@adafihj6439]

Also can we talk about how successfully James (and Robert) was able to pivot their content. Its still all about skincare but its not just reviews and "routines that saved my skin" every other week

Thank you so much 🥹🙏🏼

Totally agree. They both are just freaking awesome & truly honest 😊

[@dinasilva9263]

I absolutely Love these twins❤

[@vcka]

yes. seriously 2 of the best KZbinrs by definition. I want to click every video. I don't even wear makeup, in Robert's case. both are so convincing, so personable, so truthful and alluring and so good at presenting information

[@shawnaross4152]

YES!!!! Every night I watch a couple Robert videos, a couple James videos, and a couple Welsh Twins videos. I watch the individual videos to learn and the twin ones to laugh and relax! Thank you both! You are the BEST at what you each do! And Ashton and Marcus are so talented as well! 10/10 Jackies!!!!!!

[@juliewilliams40]

I absolutely love how honest you are when reviewing skin care, and you don't just give us the expensive stuff either. You are my sole go-to for skin care, and I love trying out new things that you recommend! I simply adore you!

i love the numbuzin 3 toner and i absolutely love the smell !! guess we have different opinions when it comes to fragrance, im almost done with the bottle >_

[@lindseystein9676]

I love the toner as well. The scent is good, but can be a bit much for me. I don’t care though, I love the results.

[@cindynguyen6356]

I love the toner too!! The smell is not that strong (to ME) compared to an unbearable fragrance like the face shops rice cleansing oil, or even the mixsoon bean cleansing oil, so it's worth giving a try ❤

[@keanuweaves2209]

I don't mind a strong scent but this is strong and has a citrus and herbal smell that's very strong... I agree it's old fashioned.

[@Goodhairday181]

Same!! This is my all-time favorite toner! And I'm usually sensitive to fragrance and prefer fragrance-free skincare, but this doesn't bother me at all. To me, the scent is just a very mild citrus. Highly recommend for people who want to include fermented ingredients in their routine! #kbeauty

i bought my first vitamin c serum today, simple stuff, but in my 20s with life long skin issues im finally ready to re educate and take better care of myself thanks to your videos

[@bekogimang]

I used to have the same problem with the numbuzin no.3 toner.The smell was too strong when I first opened it but since I’ve bought it might as well used it right? I don’t know of the smell has gone away or my nose have gotten used to it, but its no problem for me now and I really love the glow it gives my skin, especially under make up

[@Tashargh]

James just gave me a great flashback to my friend laughing at me for saying borage. Was studying horticulture and had only seen it written down. She spent countless days teasing me in a French accent lol. (it's borage like porridge)

[@Anemicpanda]

Can you recommend skin care for more mature skin? I just turned 40, and I know I need to be better at my skincare, but I don't know what really works and what doesn't. Is retinol good and necessary? ❤😊

[@RuthDeane]

I’m 49 and after hearing James talk about peptides I started using argirilene on my forehead, around the eyes, and just on those nose to mouth lines (I don’t know what they’re called). And alpha arbutin on the rest of my face. After 12 weeks there is a noticeable difference in my fine lines and discoloured patches, they don’t disappear completely but you can see a decent difference. I got both from The Ordinary, and a little goes a long way. I plan to try retinol once I’ve used up these serums just to see how that works out, but I do really like these I’m using now. Of course everyone’s skin is different, I just wanted to share what has been good for my skin as a more mature lady 🙂💜🖤💜

[@lindseystein9676]

I’m not in my 40’s quite yet, but not too far off. I use a propolis toner and serum for hydration and then adapalene a few times per week. Fully transformed my skin.

[@MrsChrisRedfield]

Omg yes ive just started adapalene and for some reason my skin isn't getting irritated like it did with tretinoin, my skin is loving it. Can't go wrong with retinol just got to find what works for you and don't forget sunscreen ❤

[@Anemicpanda]

@@MrsChrisRedfield Thank you! I definitely need to find a good sunscreen for my face! I used to use the ones for your body on my face and wondered why I broke out so much.

[@MrsChrisRedfield]

[@zionmommy]

Tulip dew drops sounds so lovely, the aesthetic of those Bloomeffects products is speaking to me. Thanks a lot, JAMES 😂😂😂❤🤑🤑

[@missdenisebee]

I bought the Bloomeffects Tulip Dew Drops because I saw it in one of your past videos & I was intrigued. I’d never heard of them before, but I’m really happy I gave them a try! I love the Dew Drops, it’s a serum that feels almost like a moisturizer. My usually-dry skin has been doing so well lately, thanks to your excellent recommendations!

[@LocalTVstation]

The dew cream and the spf from bloomeffects are also amazing

[@judithtidwell849]

I love the numbuzin toner LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. but I totally agree, the scent doesn't fit the product. I personally don't think it stays around, but maybe I'm just not bothered by it too much.

[@misshell2223]

The Royal Tulip🌷 Nectar from Bloomeffects is an A-Z 0-100/ "do it all" product!!!! Irritated itchy or dry flaking skin? ✔️ compromised skin barrier when EVERYthing stings- ✔️ with zero burn! Occlusive layer that doesn't feel too heavy or cause breakouts?-✔️ want silky smooth supple dewy skin? Royal🌷Nectar will do that too!! Although, if you have extremely oily or breakout acne prone skin I would suggest trying(trial or travel sz) before blind purchasing a full(it's not cheap.)

[@ADseasons]

Love you and your brother. I always want to try your recommendations but can't because I have sensitive skin and my skin can't handle fragrance. Would you consider including a fragrance free option in your videos?

[@heartbeat697]

Can you do a hair routine? You hair is soo good in this video OMG

[@lunadigioia1824]

I have begrudgingly finished the numbuzin n3 toner because I too couldn’t stand the fragrance in it and I think it kinda irritated my skin, not so much that I couldn’t use it, but it didn’t feel that great. I’m back to my trusted haruharu black rice toner, the only brightening toner that WORKS

[@laugutierrez3710]

Loved hits & shits!!! I’ll be trying some moisturizers 😊thanks James!

[@laguvids]

The Numbuzin No. 3 toner is so good. I actually hate rose smell in skincare but this doesn't bother me & it doesn't linger as well. The Bioderma micellar water does not smell like orange. To each their own. “That’s your issue not mine” can also be said to you.

[@clareosullivan6017]

Thanks James. I’ve had my eye on the beauty crop lip balms so definitely buying the batch right after I’ve finished the video 🎉

[@cassierussell6281]

Was interested about beauty crop so thank you!! Now i know theyre trustworthy and worth it!!

[@julie-annd1522]

I completely agree regarding the scent of that Numbuzin No 3 Toner, but I use it twice a week before a high care support shift (disability) where I find my face sweats with anything else on it. I found a place for it in my routine which stops me having to ditch it, and I’m happy with that, stops money just going into the bin. I was so surprised by it as the No 3 serum is my daily go to!

[@korianderrr]

You genuinely are my comfort KZbinr, you are who I watch when I want to destress and enjoy myself. Thank you 🩵

[@prenimystic]

I trust your recommendations with my life I am a *broke* college girly, but I want to have beautiful skin so badly. Anything you talk about goes onto my list of things to get, so whenever I run out of something, I can try something else that I *trust* will be amazing -- even if my skin doesn't like it, I know it will at least be super good. Love you, James

[@JamesWelsh]

Honestly you are pretty safe with e.l.f and the Inkey list!!

[@melissagalech3649]

I love the numbuzin 3 essence toner!! The smell doesn't bother me. I love that it has 50 fermented ingredients. That's probably what you're smelling. The two fragrances are probably trying to mask the fermented ingredients. I'm looking forward to buying it on black Friday for winter. I still loved your video. 😉

@@JamesWelsheverything seemed very decently priced. Hoping they have good stuff. Looking forward to your review!

[@CatherineWayland]

I often add a few drops of glycerine to a moisturiser when I have an eczema flare-up or my skin is just really dry, but it doesn't make sense to use it on it's own, especially if It's a very dry day, because it draws moisture from the easiest place, so from inside the skin rather than outside on a dry day. I used to make a lot of my own creams in the past, back in the days when you just couldn't get anything safe for eczema-prone skin that didn't require taking out a second mortgage. Most of the stuff the doctor gave me made it much worse and really dry! These days, you can find loads of options, including drugstore brands using good ingredients, plus apps which can give you a run down of good and bad ingredients contained in many products. On the otger hand, the choice is bewildering. 😅

[@charirothrock7387]

That's very strange about the smell on the #3, because I have it and didn't think it had much of a smell at all. And I'm normally very sensitive to smells. But I'm going to have to go sniff it again now.

[@janethughes9541]

I love watching your channel but I am amazed how many layers you use, my saying is kiss aka keep it simple stupid, I’m in my sixties and everyone I meet says my skin is great, I use a cleansing balm, serums at night bioderma micellar water lip balm, that’s about it, in general. Is it possible that using so many products could be causing more issues?

Dr Shereen Idriss has a recipe that you could use your glycerin in, it makes a lovely spray mist.

I use the Numbuzin toner pads and the smell doesn't linger all day. And for tulips: they rock. We even ate them at the end of the war.

[@DinkyInky2]

Yet another reason to never use TikTok. I hate people giving the insecure this false hope that rubbing some overpriced glycerin on their skin is going to reverse severe stretch marks, sagging skin, and make them looked IG filtered photographs at twenty in real life when they're my age. I use a lot of different products, some that help my skin look better, but at fifty, even the best, most luxurious & expensive science-backed products and tools cannot eliminate scars, sagging skin, or reverse age lines like injectable procedures or surgical corrections do. Some of these products they're shilling literally destroy healthy skin, or create issues that can take years to undo. I may get confused with the students in kiddos classes when viewed from afar, but if anyone truly looked at me up close, there's no way they could still say I looked 14-20. When asked what's my secret, it's genetics, SPF, basic skincare, and(my smartwatch to remind me) to hydrate enough. I do pick out some new skincare items to try a few times a year, but most of it has been the same for decades with just some wee tweaks here and there.

You are not supposed to use pure glycerin it does dry your skin out like you noticed. If you want to use uo that product you can do something Dr. Idriss recommends. Mix a little bit of the glycerin with water in a mister and mist your face with it to hydrate it.
