My Simple Beauty Routine for Perfect Skin! | A Model Recommends

[@Hanumanshu69]

I feel so lucky to get advice from someone who has maintained such gorgeous skin with the same routine for over 10 years! thanks

[@EightySixxPenelope]

I've been an advocate of the same skincare since I was 15, cleanse/exfoliate/spf, and I always get compliments on my skin. You don't need expensive products, you just need to be consistent with cleansing and using a daily spf and just like my nan you'll have fabulous skin when you're 80! Once again an incredibly useful, informative video. You are such a well-spoken, interesting, beautiful person and you are a joy to watch! You should be really proud of yourself Ruth!

[@pandamayeux]

You're 32?! I'm 23 and you look much younger than I do! Your routines MUST be working for you, luv

[@TheNYCActorsGuide]

Watched this video years ago and still come back to look at it from time to time! My mother has done the back of the hand trick (along with thicker hand creams as she has aged) and she said her hands have no sign of aging. But her sister (who is one of those naturally perfect skin people who never really took care of their skin) who is only 18 months her junior, is starting to show signs of aging on her hands. These tips are great and really work! Take it from my 70 year old mom! Thank you!

[@QuantumGal]

I won't buy a skin care product unless it's been recommended by Ruth. She is gorgeous, adorable and so down to earth. Anyone who disagrees had better not watch her videos. There is no need to offend someone who has been doing this for all of us for free. We love you, Ruth! Keep up the excellent work!!!

[@essieglam8540]

I think it's great that you do a huge work with listing and explaining everything detailed in your description box. So helpful, thank you 😙

[@ThingsThatAreLovely]

I've just discovered your videos about a month ago. I'm slowly watching them all and reading your blog. You are so down to earth and full of great tips and ideas. well done. I think you're beautiful. Thanks Ruth! I'm so glad you're on youtube xoxox

[@BlueHourSky]

great advice, as always- i just love your no-nonsense approach to beauty/skincare. consistency really is key to proper skincare.

[@sufcgaz6]

I absolutely adore Emma Hardie Moring cleansing balm and could never be without it! Yet again, this is another tip that came from you!! I've purchased the Moringa balm for friends and family and they all love it too. After cleansing with the MB, my face is hydrated and feels amazing!!

[@reneechampagne4081]

Love hearing your views on skin care. You've obviously been successful with your routines! Lovely!

[@RuthCrilly]

No probs x

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes - keep meaning to! x

[@anneich0]

Finally a beauty expert who doesnt sound 12 and gets excited about glitter in every video. I enjoy your videos a lot :)

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you Benita - glad to help x

[@sufcgaz6]

Oh, one more comment...sorry Ruth but I learned from a skin therapist, (something I have always done anyway) Take all your face products right around to the back of your neck too!!! If the back of the neck gets slackened, it causes the front of the neck to then slacken too. I also go all the way down the front of my chest. I find it quite helpful to consider the whole of the upper body and not just the face and front of neck. Another superb video. Thanks Ruth. xx

[@irishecker]

who would've thought! thanks for the tip!

[@sufcgaz6]

no problem .....enjoy

[@YasmeenQ]

so true! My routine was water & soap only & skin was blemish prone & dull. Started using exfoliaters, good face cream, oils & makeup cleansers & it has all helped clear old spots & brightened my skin. More balanced now. A little extra effort is always worth it.

[@disguisingmistakes]

I miss your skincare videos! Honestly my favourite thing about your channel

[@nopebrigade]

Thanks, Ruth! I've been really enjoying your videos and down-to-earth manner of explaining everything. :)

[@HotMessInADress]

Been so excited for the video all day as I'm really getting into skincare and learning more about it all!

[@HowtoremovedarkcirclesNet]

Absolutely gorgeous! and some wow tips there girl, will check out your other videos, but not all of them today!

[@kktn4739]

I'm a new cleansing balm convert and I am so happy! I have had sallowish, dull skin with red patches around my nose for a while now (really oily when I was younger). My upper lip was really crepe-y and made me almost look like lip lines were starting to form. I found Boots Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm at Target (US) and have been using it for 1 week along with my usual retin-a, serums, chemical exfoliant, etc. MY skin looks so dewy and glowy in exactly the way I want it to and often faked with highlighting powder or cremes. I have oily tendencies anyway, until this sallowness got really bad in the last 1 or 2 years. I tried my old Neutrogena wipe when I was in a rush one morning and my skin was cree-y around my lips by afternoon. I'm do the Clarisonic on a first cleaning at night about every 3 days now. In short, my skin is no longer patchy dry with oily nose and eyelids but is now more hydrated. Sounds contradictory but seriously. Thanks, Ruth! Can't wait to try some fancier cleansing balms! xoxo from Tennessee, USA

[@Icebluegel11]

Your skin looks so clear and smooth. Really want to try the cleansing balm! Really helpful tips! I started using face cloths since discovering Caroline hirons few months ago. Feels so much cleaner.

[@TheWritersPlayground]

You do look 10 years younger than your age! I've always loved your vids Ruth xx

[@rtilling]

This is a great video Ruth! Very clearly explained and simple to follow! Thank you x

[@whitemoonflower100]

Thank you so much.. I have byn following you for almost 2 years now and I think your are a gem in KZbin .. Love you

[@annaclared_]

Thank you I've been needing this for soo long ,simple and basic :) everyone's to focused on making it to complicated so this is so easy and simple to follow :)

[@TheLadyssnape]

On Wayne Goss' recommendation, I use Paula's Choice Serum and Resist toner and Resist hydroxy serum. I love them. On your recommendation, I use Say Yes to Carrots cleanser, and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

[@Annina11ful]

well, i think your nude skin is simply stunning! even without make up on you look so flawless!

[@Amoroussparkle]

People seriously, 32 is not that old .. What the hell does the 32 year olds you meet look like?? Honey Boo Boo's mom?? Most 30 something women where I am from looks as old as she does, I would have guessed she was 27-28 and I wasn't at all surprised at her being 32. Not saying she isn't good looking, she's gorg - but most women who take care of themselves have nice skin for a long time.

[@dariakest7991]

this is one of the most useful videos i've ever watched on youtube! thank you verry much for all the information and suggestions, you're great x

[@MYTUBEYE]

you skin is beautiful, right now i am thinking why do girls in my village have a very beautiful skin while absolutely use nothing of beauty products? they just wash it with water from the well which is the only source of water

[@TheCaitiefly]

Toner is incredibly important in a skin care routine. The point of a toner is not to cleanse more,but to return your skin's pH to normal. When you wash your face,your skin becomes Basic,a toner will restore the acidity to your ski,which will help it keep elasticity and clarity.

[@AbbieJolie]

I'm glad you know about the Paula's choice BHA products. I use the 2% BHA liquid twice today just on my T zone. I would like to see me using other Paula's Choice products in this video. Thanks from for reminding people to use a washcloth.

[@tahiraaziz88]

Had pen and notebook at the ready before i pressed play :) Love your videos, you're so knowledgeable and stunning, yet down to earth!

[@Khristyie]

Wow! Thanks for this video, I really find it useful 'cause it's true that sometimes all the directions that companies give us on how to use their products is more than confusing... And thanks so much for taking the time to write such a complete and helpful description box, I will definitely come back to this video and check it more than once, I'm sure of it... :) XxX

[@ashlynnkaplan1369]

microfiber cloths for exfoliation and oil/balm cleansing! I have ALWAYS moisturized my neck and chest... even when I started skincare at about 16, I did this because I have seen so many older women with nice faces and spotty, saggy necks and chests... so why not moisturize there too ?!

[@LedZeppelinJam]

+primrose Petal wow, I've never noticed that! I'll start moisturizing my neck and chest too. Thank you!

[@louisecoleman6829]

I adore your video's - you're so knowledgeable and normal! I read a post about the french Rock perfume, dashed out and managed to buy it and am IN LOVE with it! Everything face-wise you mention I seem to have and couldn't agree more with your advise. Brilliant uploads from a lovely girl inside and out! Many thanks for cheering up my day with the video's (P.S this is my first ever You Tube comment so take it as a compliment!). Keep up the great work - your advise if fool proof!

[@hiddenangel1219]

Thank you so much for this video! I love how you are able to say plainly things that other people don't mention. Also you have amazing looking skin!!

[@lauratice8490]

This really helped me! Ive got to get a more serious plan going in the facial upkeep department so this put me on the right path. Thanks Ruth!! Xoxo

[@swatipai168]

Hi Ruth, lovely video. I was wondering where I have seen that wall paper behind you. Then I remembered I had the exact same wall paper but with a more greener background when I was a kid at my grandfathers place. Feeling nostalgic 😶

[@LMoon20]

i love the champneys balm Ruth. i think it gives a good exfoliate at the same time as a really rich soothing cleanse. youve made me thi k about my toner as sometjmes you feel a bit squeeky clean after it and that isn't great i suppose.

[@hslinger31]

I'd love to be able to afford all these products to make my skin clearer, as I'm fairly oily and acne prone, but its just not possible as a student. So i tend to take the top layer of make up off with a make up wipe, then cleanse with the Yes to Tomatoes daily clarifying cleanser (that you recommended Ruth), then use a toner, then use a moisturiser. My skin got quite bad earlier this month, so I went to my GP and he prescribed me an antibacterial gel to put on my face at night which is fab!

[@avosandwaves8176]

absolutely brillinat! thank you soooo much for this video, so nice to hear your voice and your reviews after holiday again. best regards xxxx

[@tmaries26]

You always have the most informative videos, thank you! I just have to say, I've been using the Elixir Niactil 4% serum for a couple of months, and it has done WONDERS for my skin. It helps with pores, redness, acne prone skin and hydrates. It just really takes my skin to that next level of clearness and evenness

[@LesFleursSauvages]

Boots' Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm is a great organic, budget option. It's available for about 9 Dollars in Target and ULTA stores in the U.S.; and, of course, it's also available online. And bonus, it comes with a thin muslin cloth to clean off the balm with warm water!

[@suzethw3349]

YAY I was hoping you do a skin video update soon, dream came true :) You give great skin advice :) Thank you!

[@RuthCrilly]

Coming up next week x

[@silentscreams1988]

Fab video, Ruth. I love your honest & informative review of good products.

[@babyblackbeans]

Ur skin is amazing. Will try the cleansing balm, as I have never heard of them before

[@abcdef-eu8kf]

great great great video! going to try with the "luxurious" products as soon as I get a job!

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you Louise! xx

[@kimberleyh9096]

love the soap and glory hot cloth currently using the no 7 one skin feels so good.

[@mrvozy1]

Hi Ruth, To begin with i am not a blog/vlog follower but i must admit that i am hooked on your channel. I also use and try to find the best products for my skin care. I basically use top/high priced products in all range of skin care and needless to say i also like French pharmacy products as you have mentioned before. And i must say i get so many comments on my good skin. But what i am really concerned about lately the cancerogen agents in cosmetics. As i am a medical doctor it started worrying me so much as i read the scientific articles about the effects of these chemicals. I started asking myself if we are really paying loads of money to use these cancerogens loaded cosmetics! So i made a list of those dangerous chemicals that has been published but at he same time i also come up with articles that proves them wrong. Besides the randome websites that popped up in google search, I used pubmed and society of toxicology databases, however both left me in a dilemma! So what do you think about it? Would you care of shooting a video about this issue? Should we just stop using all the great products that we are actually seeing the good effects on? Or if we continue using them how would they effect our health on the long run?! Thanks in advance and i hope for the best for the new year.

[@GlamourKillsTian]

for dry (very dehydrated) skin, I highly recommend to everyone the Caudalie SOS thirst quenching serum. I have ridiculously sensitive rosacea skin and it is absolutely gorgeous on. Worth every penny!

[@pinkii06]

Ruth I just wanted to say you give the best skincare advice! After watching your videos I cut out milk from my diet and started using effeclar duo and I can say my skin has cleared up massively! Could you possibly do a video on eye cream? I'm only 19 but have dark circles so I was thinking of getting an eye cream to target them, just not sure which is the best for me!

[@RuthCrilly]

Oooh! Thanks for letting me know!

[@RebeccaLately]

I'm using the new version of the ANR, too. It's so nice! I'm very impressed with it.

[@kyokom]

Awesome awesome video! How do I find out the pH of my moisturizer though? And whether my serum needs a low pH to work effectively? Thank you so much Ruth!

[@benitaturska4399]

Dear Ruth, thank you so much for this skincare video. You're always so lovely and I completely trust your recommendations. Thanks to you I started using Liquid Gold and other Alpha h products and it completely changed my skin.Thank you for your videos and beauty tips! All the best:-)

[@RuthCrilly]

See info! x

[@indrawathiselvarajah6489]

You have beautiful flawless skin. So you don't really need so many products. You were born with beautiful skin. Beautiful skin cannot be created with products.

[@cldcollector]

If you have acne prone skin, be wary of using a cleansing balm with any sort of added fragrance. The Dermalogica Precleanse is a good one and I'm pretty sure it's fragrance-free.

[@alixk3867]

I really love your makeup in this video!! Very clean and natural:) Maybe a tutorial on it? xx

[@emmasw.1416]

I would recommend using a toner because cleansing opens your pores and toner closes them anything you apply after cleansing without toning will clog your pores including moisturizers and serums

[@NicoleKeimig]

Would love to know if you've tried Miranda Kerr's line. Kora Organics and what you think about it! xx

[@Spaztictea]

Thanks! I dont have sensitive skin, and in fact my skin is better left alone for some reason! My same friend recommended using a face cream after?

[@TriciaSenior25557]

Hi, at 62, well, basically I need a miracle 🙄, but this last month I have been using Filorga products and they are great. A little bit more pricey but not in the la Mer range. I love Folorga’s night cream. A little bit goes a long way.

[@ju5tlyme]

would love to know ruth's response. i think most people use one a day, as in the morning, after a night time cleanse the skin SHOULD not be as dirty and then you can use that same cloth as night then wash :-). I like to use a white cloth!

[@ChristinaMarie17]

Very helpful!! Please keep making these videos, especially on skincare. I wonder what your opinion on collagen products/serums would be? I think it's most popular in Asian skincare routines. Next on my wait list to try is the Clinique cleansing balm and the Estée Lauder serum :)

[@Makeupbybri]

Thank you for mentioning cleansing balms! you're so right! Cleansing balms are way better!

[@Missfrankiecat]

If you are worried about the PH balance of your skin for using Alpha H, as a matter of basic science, you may want to consider the effect of using tap water on your skin to wash off your cleanser immediately before applying. A lot of dermatologists mention the use of tap water as a real 'con' of using cleansing balms (as well as the inclusion of mineral oil as an ingredient in many). Lovely video though.

[@2104natasha]

I always appreciate your skin care tips, you're very knowledgeable and I trust your opinions. I have oily skin and now about to buy the Eve Lom Cleansing Balm. Hope that it's as good as people say. Anyway thanks for all your tips and reviews. Very much appreciated. From Trinidad

[@millytruman3449]

Thank you so much for this video, it has been really helpful! Please can you do a series of videos for different skin types showing products with a variety of price range. Thank you for this video has been a big help! I love your videos! :)

[@Alraundelberin]

Very helpful video as always. It's a joy to watch your channel! Thank you!

[@ButtahscotchKisses]

would you do a review on the Chanel weekend and night products please.

[@Sihouette]

I used Dr. Hauschka formany years. I had the face oil for my problem skin, and instead of using it in the morning (couldn't use make-up on top of the oil!) I used it at night after the toner. For my skin this was fine and the right routine. I only skipped the moisturizer/oil when I felt that my skin could handle it.

[@TheStephShorty]

Ruth, you should do a video for each skin type: dry, combination, and oily!! :)

[@discopantsandhaircuts1135]

Hi Ruth x thnx for the insight into your routine x I too am a huge liquid gold fan x also love their micro cleanse exfoliant xxxx

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you Penelope x

[@gzella]

Yes I agree. Thank you for this and all videos, you are very knowledgeable and very down to earth. keep it up x

[@sarahalexandra17]

ruth, your skin is about a million times better than mine and i'm sixteen! thanks for the tips, so helpful as always. can't wait to introduce a serum into my skincare routine.x

[@RuthCrilly]

Ah, thanks! x

[@leslierichardson2909]

You did a video on how to hibernate, you should do one on relaxing in a bath. Youre favorite scrubs and body washes, exfoliators and bath balms, etc. I would love that!

[@Keijiko]

I've used the oil cleansing method, but the rubbing with a cloth caused a lot of redness in my skin. At the moment I'm using only a micellair water for cleansing and my skins has never looked this good.

[@maschafestival]

Thanks Ruth for a very informative and insightful video -- you're a gem! :D

[@RuthCrilly]

I'll suggest it! x

[@ericaaaww]

you can really tell that you've put a lot of effort into this video Ruth, thanks for all the info :) I'd love to know more about affordable/drugstore eye-creams in a future video if that would be possiblle?!

[@gigisomo]

Thank you! I think the name originally had me thinking it was more expensive than that. Really helpful video, thanks again x

[@JadedMuse2]

I've got oily/combo skin that goes through bouts of break outs. I am 44 and just starting to see fine lines, my skin has also been quite dehydrated as of late. I know that you have had some of the issues I've had so I'm feeling confident that I could use products that you are recommending without worrying about having a break out. What I'm most interested in is that Estee Lauder Night Repair II you mentioned...do you still love it and would you recommend it for my skin type?

[@bartlettje]

I have recently discovered Ponds Cold Cream as a cleansing balm, removed with a wash cloth. I am 54 and I have to say I am so impressed with the results - my skin so smooth and pores have diminished. What are your thoughts?

[@wellythief]

Well, you are usually sleeping around 8 hours per night. During that time, your skin doesnt sleep. You might be sweating and the products that you put on your skin before going to sleep are all absorbed by the time you wake up. So you need to prep your skin again for the day :) I dont think you can overcleanse. Try using a light cleanser, nothing too harsh if you are worried.

[@RuthCrilly]

Thanks Rikki! x

[@alicjaXO]

I`m a skincare fanatic & I agree with pretty much everything that was said in this video, very well done x

[@R1kk1T1kk1]

Your face is absolutely flawless and beautiful! Thanks for tips in this video!

[@bellesara2]

Thanks for the video Ruth! I use the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm.. I went to a Clinique counter to buy their cleansing balm and the lady behind the counter wouldn't sell it to me because of my skin type (normal to combo w/slightly oily). I told her I was using EH and she said she's never heard of it (typical). So should I just demand to buy it next time!??

[@aliceinwonderland348]

Hi Ruth, I think you should check out the Garancia Pschitt Magique if it is available in the UK (if not, keep this in mind for your next trip to France). It is a botanical everyday peel that has worked wonders on my skin. I will talk about it in my blog very soon, but I think it is the best solution for acne-prone skin.

[@aimeehaworth16]

Ruth thankyou for the video I think your skin looks beautiful and the video was really helpful. Please ignore the hate comments and continue to make videos. I honestly don't understand why as women we attack and are nasty about others arn't we judged enough by men and outdated views of what women should be and look like. Thanks again Ruth xx

[@anniehamma6732]

Do you have any tips or recommendations for those in their late teens? Aside from daily sunblock, of course, I've been wondering what I can do for my skin now that will help with its longevity and overall appearance. Thank you!

[@pemchem]

Hi Ruth, I was wondering what your thoughts are on completely natural products. For example I've been using pure tomato juice, sometimes mixed with honey, for my spots, and it seems to be working, especially on blackheads. Do you ever use anything like that?

[@babablacksheepdog]

It really depends on the cream. You were probably allergic to one of the ingredients. That doesn't mean all eye creams will do that to you. You should always test a product on a small patch of skin (e.g. on your wrist) before you start using it. If a couple of hours after application, you haven't had any problems like a rash or itchiness, it generally means it's ok for you to use. It would be a good ides to take an allergy test, too. It will tell you what you're allergic to so you can avoid it.
