Remember that skincare is extremely personal to everybody's skin. What works for me, may not work for you. But I hope my videos give you some good ideas for products, techniques, and Ingredients to try.
Also, I'm obviously not a dermatologist or a doctor, so all opinions on products and anything else I'm presenting, are results and findings from my own experience and research.
And that's why I'm here, to share my research and my findings that go further than what is said on the bottle or google!
But, everything I present is always a discussion for you to join in with :)
If you have any serious skin concerns, please see a dermatologist/doctor.

[@aleccino]

I'm sooo sick of all the trends that are just re-hashes of long-existing methods. There are so very few hard and fast rules to skincare. People need to experiment and do what works for them.

[@nicola3731]

I’m beginning to think skincare brands purposefully develop actives to irritate the skin so they can then develop a product to fix the irritation.

[@MarleneCardos01]

Right? That's why I stopped using Paula's Choice after they launched their "calm" line. Of course that was the basic marketing step after years of marketing their BHA exfoliant.

[@saodoan]

Idk I need the exfoliant to fight the pollution in my city and then since my skin is relatively sensitive I need to calm it later. But whenever I’m in Europe I barely have to do anything. So I don’t think it’s intentional but it just happens to be a side effect.

[@natalielikesstuff4062]

After spending an embarrassing amount of money on everyone else's holy grails and not seeing any difference in my skin, I'm definitely back to basics. Because I'm not spending so much money on a bunch of things that straight up do nothing, I feel like I can splash out on the few things I do use. I'm happy to keep rebuying my $50 sunscreen that sits perfectly on my skin, rather than cycling through 6 or 7 different ones at $25 each that I hated. I have literally one serum that has multiple actives that I use morning and night. Since starting tret, I barely have to exfoliate anymore either. Frees up cash to be able to spend it on things like micro needling etc. that have much more impact on my skin, as well. It's really freeing to be off the skincare product hamster wheel, to be honest. Still love the videos though because they help me reflect on what it is I am looking for in a skincare routine ❤

[@leateber3640]

Started tret a couple of weeks ago and havent rebought any serums since. Can I ask you, which one you kept using?

[@natalielikesstuff4062]

@@leateber3640 It's a random one that I think might only sell here in NZ (maybe Australia too?). It's the Supercharge Glow Serum from the 'Happy Skin' Essano range. Has fermented postbiotics, vit C, niacinamide, ceramide complex and hyaluronic acid so covers pretty much everything I'm personally interested in.

[@leateber3640]

@@natalielikesstuff4062 Thank you 😊

[@bostonreese4807]

Like Roberts last video about the hype of makeup, I agree 100%. There’s just too much going on. People can’t keep up and the market is overly saturated with products, gimmicks, trends, etc. Everyone needs to take a step back and realize that they only need a the few products that work for them, given a few fun product and that’s it!

[@mora5146]

Beauty industry is desperate to get our money and is so out of control 🫠

[@JessieLee_]

I agree ☝️ I also agree that the beauty industry is desperate to get our money and is definitely out of control and puts out Sh!t products. I try to listen to a few influencers I’ve grown to trust and buy from brands that have a purpose. Like this company called Gemini Beauty, the creator was 17yrs old when she started her company a few years ago and she has Lupus which is close to home as I have several chronic illnesses and my aunt has lupus. She donates the proceeds to the Lupus Foundation of LA. I shared her company when she 1st started out so much she sent me her favorite product of 3 ( she only started with 3 products) which was her moisturizer and a code for family/friends to get a discount. Not sure if the code is still active or not ,honestly I need to re-order from her. Her family already has money, so this is something she is passionate about ( not saying she has money,but you can tell her family worked their butts off ) skincare for sensitive skin and skincare that works. But yes omg is it so over saturated.

[@EH012]

It's hilarious when you share something you do that's just intuitive, like adding a touch of balm on dry areas, and you gotta be like THIS IS NOT A HACK! This is just a thing you can do and it works for people who experience the same thinggg! 😂😂😂

[@claireeyles7560]

In a way I'm actually glad that my perimenopausal + non hodgkin's lymphoma affected skin decided to completely freak out & become reactive to almost everything I was using when it did. It totally forced me to take another look at my skincare routine and then strip it back to basics. Prior to that I had a Korean skincare inspired routine that was working really well, but at the same time I was constantly looking for the next 'better' product that was out there. Now I have a limited number of products that don't cause my skin to react with burning redness and welts, so it's really meant having to be extra aware of what actually works for my skin & then sticking to it, instead of thinking, "Yeah but if this product is good, maybe this other product is even better." My current skincare regime is: Morning - Cleanse with a gentle foaming cleanser, rinse and apply a rosewater & glycerine toner when my skin's still damp, follow up with Oil of Olay sensitive skin (cream for colder weather, lotion for warmer weather), finish off with SPF 50 sunscreen if I'm going out. Evening - Pre-cleanse with cold cream (I rotate between four different ones, depending on the season and if my skin has any specific needs at any one time), cleanse again with a gentle foam cleanser, rosewater and glycerine toner applied over damp skin, Oil of Olay moisturiser and then an application of either a Glycerine or Lard based cream/balm for overnight 'slugging'. Exfoliation is done manually (gently) with a soft face cloth as needed (so paying attention to my skin's needs rather than sticking to a strict 1, 2 or 3 times a week, etc, schedule; same goes for my version of 'slugging', what cream I use depends entirely on what my skin actually needs). And of course on top of that, drinking enough fluid, eating a well balanced diet, trying to get enough quality sleep & reducing stress levels.

I am just starting to dive into skincare because I’m getting older. I’m very lost but thankfully my co-worker recommended your channel and I’ve really enjoyed learning from you, especially figuring out which affordable brands are the best. Thanks.

[@teri2466]

I scaled down - it was getting out of hand. Now I have a few favorites that I cycle through and my skin is doing fine. Mostly Korean. I'm happy to see another Korean shopping option.

[@sleepy_snake98]

I remember going on my skincare journey for the first time, and there was so many things that I felt lost. Eventually, I broke it down to cleanse, exfoliate (on occasion), tone, and moisturize. I also do a face mist on occasion too. Most of my stuff is CeraVe (due to samples I got from my Grandma), but it definitely works for my skin. This video definitely helps in clarifying things, and it definitely solidifies my opinion of skincare needing to be simple. Thank you James! ^^

[@Tttt28882]

Sunscreen?..

[@jktrends722]

I’d recommend a moisturizing sunscreen if you use a hydrating toner😌👍🏽

[@StephF88]

I'm currently in love with KAHI products! Been loving that balm of theirs for a few years now and currently obsessed with their face cream and mist. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous. There's something with the mist that just makes me feel so good.

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

Oh god I am HERE for this video. TikTok hasn’t helped the product glut or lack of influencer trust from KZbin, it’s actively made it worse IMO, and is providing less useful information. Thank you for helping to cut through the clutter.

[@angelinebiswas7611]

Omg speaking of torriden. Their solid in essence in 100ml has SAVED my skin. It’s literally a ceramide serum with 5 ceremides to the top of the ingredients list. The solid in cream is also magnificent! Not as heavy as I expected not as light either. Those two are my favorites of this year that I’ve discovered. I’m really loving torridens solid in line looking forward to trying more from them!

[@chatterboxbudgets]

Great video! I finally found a mineral sunscreen that I can use without having an allergic reaction. That was the last piece I needed for my skin care & majeup routines. I appreciate this video because I have to limit what I use due to allergies & asthma, so I appreciate watching your basic routine. Thank you for sharing!

I’m so so happy that you mentioned the brand Torriden. I’ve been using the Torriden Solid In Lip Essence and I’ve been really enjoying it and was wondering about some of the other products they have. This video really helped me and I’m definitely going to try more from the brand & other’s you’ve mentioned, I really agree that we definitely need to get back to the basics with our skincare. Thanks 😊

[@cammystorm]

I’ve been looking for a new lip product. Thanks for mentioning this. I’ll have to check it out.

[@JessieLee_]

@@cammystorm yes I’m so happy to hear I can help. I really liked it and it’s $8 or $9 on amazon. I think I’m allergic to beeswax and that’s how I found this and took a chance even though I’d never herd of the brand. I just finished the tube up. I do use another product with it with spf bc this is a lip essence so I assumed it’s intended to use with other balms or lip products. Are lips skin is really really delicate, so we should treat it like our face and use more than one product to protect the delicate skin I believe at least. So at night I use a lip mask , during the day I use the Torriden Lip Essence bc it’s kinda liquidy even though it says solid in lip essence and I put a thicker layer of a gloss or an spf over that. I’m 44 and I’ve had issues my whole life with chapped lips , which in part is due to my being a lip licker lol and I honestly believe I’ve built a allergy to beeswax bc about four or five years ago my skin became sensitive to everything I used to use and I done a little research and a dermatologist said it could be an allergy to beeswax,so vegan lip products don’t have that ingredient, idk if Torriden is vegan bc they definitely could have something else in it but definitely not beeswax. It took a little time for my lips to heal ,but my lips are much better now. I’m reordering asap. Let me know what you think!?

[@MultiBigbird01]

I realised all this over a year ago. Not only has it saved me a ton of money on buying products with sub-par formulas not actually suited to by skin, but it's worked wonders for my skin to go for a simple approach of having just a 3-step skin care routine of cleanser, toner/serum and moisturiser. Also saves time on your skin care routine too not having to use so many products.

[@sexualgladiator]

Just in time for me to have James with me while I cook! So relaxing! Such great information with a beautiful voice!

[@DKNyborg]

I love this, thank you so much for the step by step. I'm always so confused by when to put what on over what, etc. Can you talk about what ingredients you shouldn't mix others also? I was told something about tanning & retinol or waxing? I can't keep track anymore.

[@AnaRodriguez-ng4sb]

The cosrx aha/bha spray toner is the best I’ve ever tried. It’s gentle and doesn’t give me a tingling feeling. I have a backup already cause I refuse to be without it 😅❤😊

[@monicamcdonald5474]

A good rice cleanser from Naturium and exfoliating polish from Tatcha (makeup cleansing balm if I'm wearing makeup) is perfect for my uber dry skin...I only use water for cleansing in the AM. Morning and night routines start with hydrate, hydrate, hydrate with milky hydrating essences. Niacinamide Vit C and Lactic Acid, matcha, Tatcha Water Cream and Dewy Night Cream, Glycolic Acid and Retinol and CoxRX SNAIL SNOT. Sounds like this no longer jives with your advice but you are the one that started my journey to perfect skin and I SO enjoy my skincare routines. Thank you James! You're the best.

[@jadziaidaris]

Thanks for this video. I’m almost 50 and have always been into skincare but the trends in the last decade or so were getting out of hand! Too many steps with actives! I’ve simplified to 5 steps in the morning and 3 steps at night and it still seems crazy! I also love night creams now that I’m a bit older. My skin is slightly on the dry side so I find that I might use a night cream during the day especially in the winter. My favorite trends in the last decade have been around K beauty by far. Most of the products that I’ve tried really just agree with my skin.

[@skellexis404]

I needed this video! The skincare world is so oversaturated with information that just leaves me with more questions.

I only wear makeup maybe twice a week now, so my go to skin care is sunscreen 2x a day, then I double cleanse, and at night I will exfoliate 2x a week and follow it up with moisturizer. I will add a hydrating toner if I'm feeling sassy.

[@carolinafdsantos]

RE: exfoliation As someone with atopic dermatitis and eczema prone skin, I only exfoliate with the cosrx aha bha right after cleansing, at night before I do anything else) because I had hormonal imbalances after quitting the pill so I got a ton of acne I had been using it every day last week and now will space it out more as I reintroduce retinol Exfoliating rlly helped manage my acne and I use a really occlusive moisturiser right after

[@JelenaP991]

I agree with exfoliants in everything. I don't need 5 product in one routine with aha or bha. Same with niacinamide and ha, I don't need them in everything. But I would love to see more reviews for multi balms, so many brand released them

[@TheNdpeterson1]

I seriously thought double cleansing was really overhyped and then we got some new wash cloths that are white and I went to wash my face after using my micellar water one night and saw the leftover makeup on the wash cloth and vowed to ALWAYS double cleanse at night.

[@sarahjean391]

I agree with going back to basics. I’m finding the only one ingredient serum I keep going back for is salicylic acid, but that’s only because I’m breakout prone. Also, James I’d love to know your thoughts on Grown Alchemist. I recently got their age-repair intensive moisturizer in an Ipsy bag. My skin seems to loves it, but the moisturizer itself literally stinks! I’m wondering if it’s good enough to put up with the smell and buy a full sized product.

Just as a friendly FYI, Nudestix is a shady company! For example, they made claims their products were vegan and some weren’t.

💜Hello James 💚Happy Friday 💜

[@myusernameissusan]

Sun sticks may be ok for top ups throughout the day but probably not so good as your main sunscreen as you need an awful lot of swipes to get a proper coverage, Michelle at Lab muffin did a recent video and it was shocking how much you had to use so one swipe all over the face might feel nice and light but once you've added 3 layers you've still not reached spf 50 and it's all just sitting on your skin in a thick greasy layer.

I’ve found so many toners, cleansers, serums and sun screens I love over my 20yr skincare journey. But I still haven’t found a ‘favourite’ moisturiser - they are either too heavy, too greasy or just don’t add or seal in moisture. The search continues…..

Can you do a skin care routine where all the products have the same texture🥺 I don't like certain textures and I'm interested in trying new ones like jelly? But I'm finding it hard to understand and build a skin routine. It could be a video series.

I think I'm the only dry skin person I've heard of that has oily undereyes and eyelids. If I can get a (non-liquid) eyeliner that lasts longer than an hour I consider it a win, and eyeshow only doesn't separate into my eye crease if I've used a good quality eye primer. Probably why I never really got eye creams unless they had active ingredients. And my skin handles actives really well, so I can just put my retinol right under my eye.

I just want to learn how to apply sunscreen around my eyes. I have not had luck with that at all.

[@cheyennestraight12]

Is it my phone or your video doing that blackout flash?

[@Cait491]

I've been in hospital, so I missed your video yesterday. You have no idea how great it is to see you this Saturday! In my drugged state, all I could think of was ' I'm missing the James Welsh video' 🤣.

Hope you’re on the mend!

I need a routine for super super oily skin! My face is like an oil spill.

[@Sara-tq6tl]

James Welsh is the best!!! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

Who has done the carrot & coconut oil sunscreen thing because I have never heard of that.

[@johnmichaelarnaud]

AHAs bother my skin now, too, and I'm just done with them.

[@leslie3550]

I like Innisfree!

Help!? Genuine question. My husband finally turned to me in the middle of a shopping centre and uttered those magic words ‘I think I need some cream for my face or something….er….um….it’s a bit dry’. I got him a hyaluronic serum as he has combo skin and I wanted to look confident I front of him! Lol have you got any suggestions for our husbands or male partners? Thankyou in advance my beauty xxx

[@Afz_x]

I’m sure men can use the same products that women do when it comes to skincare. Skin should only be treated differently in terms of skin type (oily, combo etc). Otherwise, it all works the same no matter what your gender is

[@jiayoujamie7225]

I know this doesn’t really apply to you, but can you do the “best safe skincare for pregnant women”!? It’s been so hard for me to find products that are trustworthy

[@daniellearroyo1947]

Hi, do you still use the glow recipe pha/bha toner everyday? Do you just rotate your exfoliants?

[@JamesWelsh]

I do still use it!!! Yesssss if I use a high percentage like a 2% that’s all I will use for that week. So I won’t use the gentle glow recipe one at all that week. Just because I feel like 2% twice a week is enough exfoliation for my skin!

Can you please review UpCircle?

[@akshitha_valsa]

Do you have anydiscount codes for this brand??

[@The3GMom]

I doubled cleansed since the early-mid 80’s.

[@jorazz16]

Yes yes yes I have combination skin. Drives me nuts. I am all about convenient I need a t-shirt that says I live by convenience😄

[@mora5146]

So, I don't have a beard but I always stressed out so much when I see you don't get any product in that area. I'm just curious 🙈
