How do you organize your skincare?? My bathroom counter is so cluttered, but I'm a feral child and I don't really know how to organize things lol.

[@Deeanna-js2qt]

OMG! Very good question! I am a victim of overconsumption.

[@thiccynicky8657]

Getting some cheap bins/trays helps so much, maybe get one that can stick to the wall if you’re in the bathroom

[@scarletblaine6166]

Hi, I know neither of you asked me, but here's an answer anyway, lol (from a fellow feral child) Make yourself a dedicated skin care space! (preferably not in your bathroom, my house has the tiniest bathrooms, and I relate to the cluttered counters!) I bought myself a small vanity on Amazon (I think it was like 150$ They had smaller ones, too) I also bought myself a skincare fridge, plopped it on my vanity, and bought a couple cheap organizers to insert into drawers. I moved ALL of my skincare and hair products to my vanity - some things go on the shelves, some in the fridge, and some in the drawers. It's been amazing. Not only do I have a place to sit down and do my skincare, but I FINALLY have a place to put ALL of my crap - skincare, my million bottles of hair products, normal stuff like lotion, deodorant, blah blah blah. It's been so nice having it all in one spot. I also got myself a little basket to take back and forth to the bathroom so I don't have to keep all my face wash on the bathroom counter. It feels super luxurious, AND it makes me look like I'm an organized human with my life together! Lol. It's a teensie bit of an investment, but I realized that if I'm willing to spend money on stuff that makes me happy or feel better, it was worth the money to dedicate an area to put all my stuff in.

[@semirelatablesarah]

Another person you didn’t ask but you’re getting another opinion from here! It required a bit of a purchase but I got a hanging mirror that doubles as a cabinet.. it offers quite a lot of space but keeps everything hidden away

[@mackenziex3axl]

I use a clear acrylic, lazy Suzan type thing. I can spin it to different sections I need.

[@daianfish]

I got your VT reedle shot box a couple weeks ago and i haven't seen this much of a difference since i actually started a skincare routine for the first time. I feel like my skin is finally starting to look poreless and smooth without any makeup on. Its insane and I'm so happy i finally tried it!! Thank you!

[@idc-c5w]

are you using the 50 or 100 ?

[@roor6846]

You recommended the Sungboon Editor green tomato ampoule recently and I bought it. I've been using it for about a week and my skin is already noticeably appreciating it. I didn't have bad skin but the texture and redness is a little better and I like the healthy glow. My sister complimented my skin on Sunday too. I already know I'll definitely be buying it again.

[@AndrewSterlingCaporale]

I thought you were gonna talk smack about the Mixoon glacial, and I was gonna cry cause I LOVE it. 😂

I have heard you and Robert discuss the D'alba products for so long that I just bought it on Amazon to try. Neither of you has steered me wrong yet! I so appreciate your reviews!

[@nekodacain7164]

Got the d’Alba double serum cream and it’s amaziiiiing. Amazon prime day had it on sale, originally it’s 75 bucks when on sale, on sale for thirty bucks, fifty bucks when not on sale, course I think they jacked the price up when it went on sale to 75 but it was still a good deal, love love love it ❤

[@Miobambino]

Me too! I saw James promoting it and bought it on Amazon Prime Day. It’s a lovely consistency, and I especially love the water serum. Bonus, it doesn’t have much fragrance. I was concerned it would smell like mushrooms 😂🇬🇧💜

[@asti150]

On their website the prices are almost always cheaper and have many discounts. The d'Alba serum I bought on their original website for 26 dollars while it can go for up to 90 dollars.

[@emma-louisewagstaff229]

The 700 really isn't that bad, and paired with the 700 barrier repair cream it works really nicely. I'd only add hydration after using it and then the cream but no actives because it is strong x

[@YourBeigeyness]

So SO glad you introduced the circa reedles to me. I got your collab box and it has changed my skin NOTICEABLY in literal days. I started with the 100 and felt nothing, moved to the 300 and it only tingled a bit I use the 700 twice a week and texture on my face is GONE and closed comedones come to a head quickly. I LOVE it

[@laurenlf]

Hi James 👋🏻 Millenial here with dry, sensitive, rosacae-prone skin trying to find her way to a new skincare routine and not knowing where to start! 😬 I know very little about skincare, but your videos are my first step, thanks so much! ❤🇿🇦

[@elisebryant9938]

I went with Prequel, for the most part. I’m obsessed with their cleanser, tho I own almost the entire line

[@jazzinglis4424]

Azelaic acid is amazing for rosacea - the ordinary do a really good basic one or Paula’s choice or I’ve heard good things about Dr Sam’s one as well (lil spenny but full of good ingredients). Anything with Centella as well is super calming and I find that helps with my redness- like the Purito unscented range ect (swear by it). Hope that helps x

[@laurenlf]

@@jazzinglis4424 I'll check that out, thanks! 😃

[@jessicahong5904]

Prequel didn’t work for me. I do love the cleanser. But everything else has Niacinamide and/or hyaluronic acid in it and my rosacea doesn’t play nice with those.

[@laurenlf]

@@jessicahong5904 sadly I don't have access to Prequel, but I've found hyaluronic acid doesn't play nice with my skin either. I didn't know at the time why, but I think it might have been because of my rosacaea as well! Thank you! 😅🙌🏻

[@jojomarch]

I saw that there's a VT vitamin c needle shot too which I'm intrigued by tbh

[@Chibikuma]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the d'alba white truffle spray, the first time I used it felt a bit weird, I thought I might be sensitive to it but it went away since then. Now I'm VERY intrigued about this double serum & cream! I wonder if it has the same scent because I'm obsessed with it! I also prefer the liquid bottled version of the ilso sebum remover, highly recommend the official cleaner tool as well! Overall a better deal since you don't have to constantly replace them like the cotton tips or produce more waste! I don't think I can live without these 2 products!!!

[@flightofthexwings]

Having JUST purchased the Green Tomato ampoule, I'm absolutely chuffed to hear how much you like it!

[@TheSqueet]

Thank you James! You influenced me to by the D’alba mist and cream and it has done wonders for my oily, dehydrated skin. Love to you, Robert, Marcus, Ashton and the pups!! ❤❤❤

[@Dontbootit]

Can you talk about the ingredients and research into lush cosmetics skin care? Lots of physical exfoliants, had a recent call back of their million dollar sunscreen and other suncare products as their formulas were not working correctly and was not actually blocking any UV filters similar to the strength the label suggested

[@xFolkmore]

I used to work there and can give you a rundown of my main take aways: - everything contains fragrance. there’s maybe 2-3 skincare products that don’t have an added fragrance. - all their exfoliating products are indeed rather harsh physical exfoliants like ground almond or salt except for one cleanser which is an enzymatic cleanser that utilizes fruit juices. - all their cleansers are clay based or have harsh surfactants in them (the surfactant of choice for them is SLS or SLES in all their products which may be ok if you’re not sensitive or dry at all). none of them i i personally feel would be ideal for dry or sensitive skin. or just a compromised skin barrier in general. they do have two cleansing balm type products (ironically also two of the only products in the entire store that have no fragrance) but they lack emulsifiers and are super hard to wash off fully. - they mainly utilize butters like cocoa butter, oils like jojoba oil as well as essential oils. other hydrators include fatty alcohols like cetearyl alcohol and other incredibly common ingredients. as someone who is acne prone, dry and sensitive I would never put their stuff on my face. ever. that, and the formulas are nothing impressive especially for the price. their pricing mainly comes from the fact that all their products are freshly handmade and their supply chain is much more ethical, so at least that’s good. They also pay a much better wage than comparable jobs which is also nice and more ethical. - their toner waters are just water with steeped ingredients which makes them fragrant and have some of the benefits of them. but not worth it imo I personally believe that their products are for the people who are in their cult following and people who want clean/natural beauty lol. Funnily enough, their surfactants and preservatives of choice would actually opt them out of a lot of definitions of clean beauty (even though they’re fine from a safety standpoint, we all know clean beauty claims lol). After working there I would never buy any of their skincare or haircare. their soap, bath bombs and lotions are fine for the body if you’re not sensitive. The price point of their skincare reflects their more ethical business practices and fresh ingredients however if you’re going to spend that amount of money on skincare I’d rather something that’s gonna work a little harder for me.

[@ahnomaly]

Find a gentle cleanser with 2% salicylic acid, use that at night before a good moisturizer with ceramides. I really love the thank you farmer sunscreen in the green bottle or the new purito sunscreen in the green container is something James recommended recently. If you don’t wake up greasy in the morning just rinse your face with water and apply sunscreen 🎉

[@averysutton2328]
