Morning Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin

[@rachelweinstein9008]

You are such a cut above most others. Your educated, sophisticated products and reviews are essential for great skincare. Thanks so much for being there. I wish you a happy and glowing skin summer. Rachel!

[@gothamista]

wow thank you, Rachel. Such a sweet, lovely comment! 😊

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Rachel

[@debschlicksup2973]

Your skin seemed to get prettier and prettier with each step of your morning routine! So pretty! I really liked how you layered the different products and made it all look so do-able! Thanks!

[@gothamista]

Thank you so much!! It is very doable otherwise I'm just too lazy!

[@sokamuy]

Omg yasss!! I've literally just been watching your old videos because I was waiting for a new one!!😭😭😭

[@bobmag5058]

[@gothamista]

Haha thank you, love!

[@bobmag5058]

Gothamista Renee would love to see a vlog from you, btw what's this instrumentsl you use often? Wish you great skin 😊

[@lorrainecampbell374]

That is serious real estate you got there. AMAZING view. wow. As expected great video. Thank you

[@virginiav.1172]

With the soothing music and your calming voice, the golden amber color of your tea with the sound of water pouring in the cup.....honestly, I felt I had taken a 6 minute detour into total relaxation! Loved it!

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Virginia

[@kageyama9509]

I'm seriously wondering how do you try out so many products and know that one is working? You make so many videos and each video has so many product in each video, yet I've been researching skincare and read that one product might break you out or cause irritation weeks down the line so you should only try out one at a time. I want to try out a lot of products too but how do you know that one is working (vs it being another new product you've tried, or a product you've been using for a while that is finally showing a cumulative effect) when you use so many at once? Can you do a video on that?

[@silent_waters]

If you don't know Angie yet, I recommend watching her videos. Her name on youtube is "hot and flashy". In contrast to many other skin care experts, she has remained loyal to some products over the years. You can also see from her skin that she has great results and you can also learn a lot about the different ingredients from her. She has been on youtube for 9 years.

[@Kristina-ix9cm]

We need a summer evening skincare video also :)

[@annachen8200]

Yes please!!

[@emjaneiglesias]

Yes waiting for it 😘

[@carriewhelan1333]

Hopefully soon?

[@ddzgdt]

That is a gorgeous view to wake up to every day! Thanks for another great informative video!

[@TigerMonthlyHits]

luvblue00 is she in Hong Kong?

[@christinedreams3604]

She is in Manhattan. That is the Chrysler Building in the background.

[@BlairWaldorf2013]

Christine Dreams...I'm curious what she does for a living to afford THAT kind of place. Like, you'd have to be making high 6 figures to afford that kind of place in manhattan.

[@sams517]

BlairWaldorf2013 same!! Is KZbin her only job and her full time job or does she also do a full time job outside of KZbin??

[@ninninin656]

Sam, KZbin is definitely NOT her only job, lol. I believe she works in the beauty industry. :)

[@jennyliu3971]

I love the editing in this video! Great video as always Renee

[@gothamista]

Thank you so much Jenny!

[@ljquevedo5694]

Good morning isa po ako sa subsribe nyo po. May milia po ako sa magkabilaang pisnge gosto ko ito gumaling. Ano po ang treatment nh milia ng pisnge ko.

[@maureen7732]

I love watching you and learning. Looking forward to an updated oily acne prone teenager AM and PM skin routine. Have a great day.

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Maureen

[@jojoGjoy]

you're such a blessing for the community of youtube, thanks for chaning our lives

[@gothamista]

your comment gives me life, thank you!

[@thecatlady4405]

Watching your videos has been such a help to my oily, dehydrated, sensitive skin.

[@gothamista]

So happy to hear that!

[@SnackySquirrel]

I was on the fence about getting the AmorePacific Essence bc of the price & the fact that I already had some other Essences but, I hadn’t noticed a big difference using those so I finally took the jump and got this thanks to your recommendation and I’m so happy I did, it’s amazing!! Even though this seems expensive it really isn’t that bad. A little goes a long way and you can tell it will last a long time. I spent a ton of time in the sun growing up by the beach so now I have a lot of sun damage I’m trying to fix and In the 1st month I’ve noticed this is helping w/ my sun spots, evening my tone and just helping my other products work better in general. Thank you so much for the help ❤️

[@yinwu2580]

Your apartment is just amazing!

[@kateri17]

Would you ever consider doing a video about how you take care of your nails and hands? They always look amazing. Love your manicures as well.

[@levigrey8418]

This channel is so dainty and subtle.

[@jagibaba]

Aaaaah, morning Gothamista video for glowing me!!! I don't quite get this, but it actually makes me more productive in other matters besides skincare... *whispers* ... and it very probably means an evening one is to follow, eeek 🤗

[@llgrazes]

I think we all need a Korean spa day meet and greet with Gothamista!!! Ill even take the day off!!

[@Lisa-jw6ur]

You are hands down one of my absolute favorite youtubers! I love getting the notification that you've uploaded a new video, especially anything skincare related! You're awesome, keep em comin! 🙏🏼😊

[@gothamista]

Thank you Lisa, that means everything to me!

[@eliseaucoin1993]

I just discovered your channel, and binge watched so many videos. Now I want to go out and spend all my money making my skin as glowy and beautiful as yours! ☺️

[@aprillsweetie]

the view of your apartment is to die forrrrrrrrrr! great video as always of course!

[@aleczandergamboa]

I don't know why, but I just feel so wonderfully calm every time I watch your videos! So glad I subscribed to your channel :)

[@Eksxx]

So much sophistication, softness and elegance in this video....I feel like I’m floating.

[@anindya6707]

Thanks a bunch from the tropics where it's always summer! ❤

[@teeswaran]

Great video. I, too, have dry, thin and sensitive skin. I have relied on vitamin c serums for the past 10+ years. I am going to diversify now! Thank you!

[@rosaliafigueroa9043]

굿모닝 ♡ I wish there was a ♡ button on youtube. Love all your videos. You could seriously sell leaves to a tree. I've purchased so many products by your recommendations! I'd love to see a video dedicated to your most recommended 설화수 products. Are they worth the price ? Have you tried their perfecting cushion? I own several of their products but would love to know what you personally enjoy and recommend. Enjoyed seeing your morning routine ~♡ 너무 고마워요!

[@gothamista]

Thank you, love!! It's actually one of my favourite brands and I have to say, I've tried more than you can imagine! I have a few hg products from them and it's the brand that got me doing multiple steps. I used to solely use the entire original line and it changed my skin. I actually prefer their brightening perfecting cushion!

[@versace1962]

Your skin is absolute perfection!! I love your videos so much. Thank you for all of the information that you provide to me. :)

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Versace

[@annak6379]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Cant wait for a Summer Evening routine too! And I would love to hear more about the Make P:rem sunscreen!

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Anna

[@MB89141]

Excellent! Thank you!! I have been looking for a new routine to add moisture and protect. This truly is perfect for me.

[@renatacarter3313]

I will love to have your morning tea recipe

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Renata

[@anaghaacharya562]

Back at it again with the great skin! Thanks for the calm, relaxing atmosphere, Renee. ❤️

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Anagha

[@anthonyluka511]

The editing in this video was sublime! The Amorepacific essence looks so interesting with its rich brown color.

[@annew5380]

oh my is this your home? I love how bright it is and you wake up to such a nice view!!! I'm so envious

[@kubraboz6396]

Yaaayy I was waiting for a new skincare routine 😍 besides your informative content the quality of your videos gotten so much better! You put so much effort and it pays off... my ultimate skin guru ❤😊

[@gothamista]

Thank you, love! Your comments always mean alot to me!

[@Itssimplysteph90]

Can You do your everyday makeup routine? Your skin always looks so fresh and glowy, never cakey.

[@OHLOLLY]

What a gorgeous routine! Just. Delicious. Also, huge thanks for including us, Renée. xxxx

[@gothamista]

I just love that toner and it's astragalus goodness!

[@TigerMonthlyHits]

I like how the Amore Pacific Essence is actually the color of the extract. Also found it very interesting how you use only cold water as a cleanser. I may have to look into this more.

[@bethgramkow7865]

TigerMonthlyHits I have dry skin so in the morning all i do is rinse .

[@zahral786]

Is this also recommended for oily skin?

[@ceramicvases]

Same!

[@wellwell7429]

Zahra Liane I had oily T-zone, but since I began moisturizing skin and using just water in the morning it gradually became less oily. It's summer but I feel more confident than before, you could try this method. Some people can't stand it because they're used to "squeaky" feeling after cleansing, but we don't have to get rid of the oil totally.

[@ayco4889]

Renee, you are just amazing! I'm so thankful to have come across your channel. The last three days, I have learnt a lot and I'm so excited to try out the products you have recommended as we have same skin type. Looking forward to more of your videos!

[@bobii379]

Wow, that's a lot of steps! But it explains why you have such amazing glowing skin

[@danams4166]

Thank you for sharing this routine! I recently discovered your channel and am OBSESSED! I've learned so much about why some products that I previously purchased have really worked well (oil cleansers) and why others have not (e.g. vit C serums). I've already ordered several of the products you recommend, including a low ph cleanser, an acid toner, and a toner for 7 skin application, as well as sun protection for face & body. Thanks so much!

[@maureenparker4721]

Life of the rich and famous in NYC amazing!

[@FightersWW]

Maureen Parker she is rich i think

[@ChemicalX29]

If that New York City then yes she's rich because I live in a basement in Brooklyn And it's $1100 a Month.....Yh anyways apartments like that is $2,020 a Month or $2,200 so she must be rich OR she is on a Government Assistance That has placements in Luxury Buildings, trust me it's possible. The Jews have got smarter by the year.

[@julesghouls7150]

I was just sitting here, about to get ready for the day. I was about to check KZbin to have a look around for an older Gothamista morning routine when this showed up!!!

[@gothamista]

Hehe thank you Julia!

[@lotusn4175]

I'm curious to know your thoughts on taking collagen or other internal skin supplements. :)

[@jenn.7033]

I would be interested in that too!

[@gothamista]

Yes, I've taken collagen supplements before. Not sure if they did anything for my skin tbh, but am currently exploring other ones! Will share once I have a decent run!

[@bobmag5058]

Lotus N collagen does not act as its digested just like any other protein how ever vitamins and minerals in right formulas and dose are the key to health. Like people with dry skin often deficient on vitvA and comedogenic skin in bit D. All vitamins ultimately help skin. Target with friutd and vegetables. Wish you great skin health!

[@TracyD2]

Lotus N Brilliant idea! I've been taking collagen for dry skin. I haven't been taken it regularly though to report on anything. I had some stomach ailments for a while. I think I'll give it another go. I heard collagen is great if your older and can really see results. I'm older (50) so I'll try again

[@xxcarolynaxx]

It's not all true, depends on the size of it's molecules. It does work when they are smaller than 5000 DA.

[@Stephanie-Gil]

I really like how informed you are! Can you do a video about why you are passionate about skin care? Are you in the skin care industry as well? Thanks!!! I've been watching most of your videos :)

[@chtitmog]

I just love how relaxing your routine videos are! I can watch them several times in a row when I massage my face and do my skincare regimen. x Davie

[@gothamista]

Hi Davie! I love that!

[@GreekGodessDiva]

Oh my god it's like Xmas morning. Lol. So happy to see your video

[@nikka2791]

You are so knowledgeable with skincare could you please advise me what other moisturizing day cream can I use for normal to dry skin? I'm over 40 years old. Thank you, love your videos!!

[@JenniferFarleyPhotography]

I'm trying to add in retinols right now and my skin cannot get enough hydration. Flakes galore no matter how slow I go. Lots of great ideas here, as usual.

[@gothamista]

ugh hate that stage.

[@Clara-vv1yn]

Could you make a video on cheap skincare options? I am really getting into skincare but as a young college student I honestly can't spend a ton of money on products. I know that they probably wouldn't work as well as high end products but I would at least like to know that the products I use would be helping my skin. Thank you for the wonderful and educational videos!

[@1989stuti]

please do a night time skincare routine. It would be great to see the products you use at night :)

[@kristenlake7342]

Wow! Your skin is so beautiful. Thank you for intelligent skincare advice.

[@shiniepham89]

you are by far THE best skin guru on youtube!

[@AndiDate]

I literally squealed and did a little dance when I saw you had uploaded a new video! I only recently discovered your channel and have watched them all, some several times, so this new one is such a treat! I'm waiting for my new haul to come in (from various places) this week...all based on your recommendations. So excited to get started with my new routine! Thank you for taking the time to share your immense knowledge with us in such a creative, professional, fun, and cute way. Besides all the fabulous info, you are such a joy to watch! You're funny, adorable and stunningly beautiful all at the same time!

[@01S0ULL]

Your videos are so informative and to the point... I find it so therapeutic to watch. P.s. bracelet game on point girl.

[@gothamista]

Haha! Thank you!

[@almatoledo1608]

My first joy on a Sunday skin care with Renée¡! Thank you, Renée.

[@gothamista]

Dawwww thank you Alma!

[@JenniferFarleyPhotography]

Your editing skills are top notch!

[@gothamista]

Dawwwwww Thank you J! 💗

[@SweetCinnamonAlmond]

So informative. I could listen to you all day.

[@corygard]

I just started applying skincare how you're showing (after watching a Laneige skin video) and I seem to get such better results than when I used to rub them into my skin. Also agree about thinner layers rather than a heavy cream, especially in summer. Always love your videos. :)

[@littlebee6916]

Thank you for sharing, this was a pleasure to watch!

[@magsmixmatch6916]

I have been watching your video from start. I was in China for 1.5 months and No KZbin access in China. I was literally missing your videos! First thing when I got back to US last Sunday was to check all your new videos from late May. Loooooove all your videos! Btw, I notice your Wolf range... Expensive and good taste, girl! ;)

[@Rowina18]

Oh yes yes yes! I've sooo been waiting for this! 😍

[@meganryan9945]

So great as always! I really have to try the 7 skin method!

[@krisisnkaos]

With how often you're trying new products, how do you know what works for your skin and doesn't? Especially when you're layering them on other variables? I'm not sure I'd know where the results are coming from!

[@nasserm201]

Totalllyyyy agreee

[@fatenashour1063]

I wish i could put 1000 like on this comment😂

[@lachocoloco]

yay! you tried the SubQ eye serum! :D its amazing I can;t wait to get another bottle!

[@gothamista]

I'm down to the last couple of drops!

Thank you SO much!

[@littlemiss131]

WOW!! Is that REALLY your bedroom...how WONDERFUL!

[@beatrizdelyelmodeharo5960]

Hi would it be possible for you to do one with items that you recommend and are available in Europe? I want to try all those things you mention but they don't sell them here and most of the websites are from USA. Thanks in advance. You are great explaining things. As well how do you rate Elta MD in comparison with the SpF that you mention? Thanks!!!!

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Beatriz

[@V1sual3y3z]

this was so soothing, i feel like i just had a 6 minute spa break.

[@jayadora]

hey, if you haven't already, you should check out the Selena Mask Pac cottons. the come 5 ply, and when wet, each ply stretches out and can be used with essences, serum, or ampoule as a mask. I'm kinda in love with these, I make my own face masks. I also save the excess essence from normal sheet masks in a air tight sealed jar and use that with these cottons to basically get 1 or 2 extra masks from it.

[@studyyourskincare4749]

Ohh! I've been using the Tatcha The Water Cream recently in this summer heat in Chicago and my oh my have I not looked back. I totally thought it wouldn't be worth it but I've never been so happy to be wrong!

[@gothamista]

Me too! I really didn't expect it to be my thing, but from first application, whoah!

[@DeepaGrewal]

I literally get excited when you post a new video. 😍

[@gwendalyntaggart2242]

Great video, Renee! You always add in mini reviews, which are helpful.

[@maysoonmawed5397]

I love this !! It's very nicely shot !! I was so thrilled to watch a new video from you !! It's like an adrenaline rush !!! Gotta take a look at the products that you mentioned. Love you ! p.s love the window view :)

[@gothamista]

Thank you!

[@TheEagleslover]

This was such a soothing video. I mean it really makes me want to ensure I relax when I'm doing my morning or evening skin care. I don't have the view, but, I do have an imagination so that will just have to do. TFS

[@feistyfluxy]

Beautiful views! I'd love a cuppa just staring out the window! I love the Hylamide SubQ eye serum too, I'm on my 3rd bottle now. It really helps keeps the lines at bay and doesn't make my eyes puffy. Bf is going to NYC and I am gonna give him a list of stuff you've recommended to hand to a lovely person at Sephora. Can't wait. 😁

[@gothamista]

Fabulous!

[@snuuuzans5841]

Hi Renee :-) For me you are without any exaggeration - The no 1 SkinCare Queen - Absolutely to doubt about that :-) Thanks again for that you share your knowledge in the most lovely and passionate way :-) As always warm hugs from Sweden / Suzanne

[@deliriousmuse4338]

Could you do the acne skincare routine please? Or just reccomend best products for acne / whiteheads / blackheads prone skin? Thanks!

[@melissak1021]

Ride or die skincare?

[@gothamista]

It will happen!

[@teresaanthony9633]

Gothamista is ur skin oily or dry

[@alfredolopez4092]

I love kiehls essence and i always say non foaming cleansers are best for skin" because foaming dries skin up.

[@deborahdoesscrap]

Another great video, Renee. I want to thank you for always providing links when available and for the sensible, educated, well spoken presentation. I have purchased quite a lot of Korean makeup but haven't used much skin care outside of Heimish Balm Cleanser, AmorePacific Rice Skin Polisher and a couple of Tatcha products. I am excited to see new products that I can try. I wanted to tell you that I have used the Chosungah 22 Luminous Lite Blender Foundation in the lightest shade, 01 Porcelain, since you mentioned it quite a long time ago. It was the perfect peachy undertone for my very pale skin with enough coverage to cover my hyperpigmentation. I purchased it at Sephora. I was looking to order another when I realized that Sephora no longer carried Chosungah 22. I went online and can only find on EBay and Amazon and only in two shades, O1 Light Beige and 02 Medium Beige. It appears that they have reformulated and only offer two shades, neither of which is available in the USA. I did find the original formula at Mecca Cosmetica in Australia in the shade 01 Porcelain but they don't ship to the USA. I am so disappointed as this was my HG foundation. Thank you for making me aware of it and although I cannot get it anymore (maybe they don't even make it anymore) I am hoping to find another Korean brand that would make a similar product in a very fair, peachy undertone. Looking forward to your future videos. Still hoping to learn something about Dermarolling. Deborah

[@gothamista]

Aww I hate it when that happens! I feel like most korean cushions will suit you since they tend to be fair with peachy undertones! But I really loved the Chosungah blender foundation. I feel like I still see that everywhere in Asia so don't think it's been discontinued!

[@NO-yh2sw]

I'm obsessed with you, constantly checking your channel if you already posted LOL. Hi Renne hope you're doing good.

[@viviantran9536]

Love the simplicity and dream-like atmosphere this video had! I've been so busy but today I plan to binge watch and comment on your videos, Renée! This was a much needed video and I can't wait to watch your precious sunscreen and other videos as I am on the hunt to try out some new skincare products! I actually discovered the 7 step layering method from you and use it with my Hatomugi Skin Conditioner and it has worked wonders with my skin especially with giving my skin a hydrated and smooth textural surface! I'm always so excited and eager to learn whenever I see you have uploaded! 💛😭

[@gothamista]

Hi Vivian! It's really hard not to do multiple skins now! I hope you have a wonderful day of relaxing, recuperating and not getting sick of watching me!

[@margiez8203]

Wonderful video, thank you so much. I always love your suggestions

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello Margie

[@yuxinliu5690]

Thank you so much Renee! You really did update ur skincare routine!!!

[@curlydia1808]

can you do video for teenage skin, products to look for and avoid.talk about eye creams like from when should one start.overnight masks etc.that sort of thing 😊

[@redacted9996]

I'm hereeeeeee! Better late than never!

[@arty3032]

How have you learnt so much about skin care?? You go so in depth with ingredients its amazing XD

[@jaylo1992]

Yey! been waiting for this 😍!!

[@BanaMUA]

Yesss this exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for yet another detailed beautifully edited video 🙌🏾💕

Hello BanaMUA

[@samanthachong9485]

super zen video! i love it and its also really informative!!

[@thecarlsons327]

You have completely converted me to Korean skincare. I wish I could give all your videos 10 thumbs up! ;).

[@gothamista]

Thank you Jill! So happy to hear you're loving your new discoveries!

[@armywifey9653]

Wish there was a ❤️ button and not just a Like. So luxurious and informative!

[@mimivu9288]

Do you think skin health is related to diet? Maybe a video to give us your thoughts? Love this and that view!

[@JingCLS]

I learned so much from you. Thanks so much Renee😊💕

[@johnmarshall1084]

Hello jing

[@MsAsb-zx4sr]

I was literally about to beg you on your instagram to post a new video. So happy.

[@inbelovedmemory2784]

Wonderful video as always!!! What are your thoughts on almond oil for the face in the morning and in the evening? When should I apply oils? Before toning or after toning? You are by far the best skin care guru on the web!!

[@wellwell7429]

I think oil goes after toning, because toning restores ph balance and prepares skin for next treatment.

[@CommissionMedia2013]

Absolutely love this video.

[@curlsbyshelly3713]

Absolutely gorgeous and calming video! I’ll like to ask. If I have Secret Key Rose edition Essence, Pyunkang Toner and Hada Labo HA lotion and vitamin C serum.... in which order I should apply them?

[@xXHanna84Xx]

try micellar water in the morning :) i use it every morning instead of tapwater or any cleansers. in the evening i remove my makeup with cleanser.
