  • As someone who suffered with moderate acne every day since the age of 15, skincare isn't a "luxury". It's part of getting to look "normal" and considering how many people think acne is from someone being unhygienic having acne can be a major social disadvantage. I remember when I was younger I wanted to be a massage therapist, but I knew that spas may not want to hire a massage therapist who had acne because they might think I appeared dirty and didn't take good care of myself. It's very depressing to have a condition that people assume is an indicator that you're lazy and dirty, even though you probably take better care of your skin than the average clear-skinned person does. Proper skincare gives me the ability to get my skin as close to clear as it's been since I was a teenager, and that has given me so much relief. It's truly an investment in my mental well being.

    • Were you openly mistreated by people, so you began assuming everyone thought like that? I don't assume people with acne are dirty/unhygienic. We can safely assume many others agree with that statement. You can't allow your "disadvantages" to hold you back. You have to keep trying because not everyone reacts the same, thinks the same or feels the same. Whatever harmful ways people have treated you, I'm really sorry. I wish kindness was easier for people.

    • Yeah I don't know why you feel that way. Sure kids in high-school can be cruel, but other than that I don't know of a single person who thinks just because you have acne that you are unhygienic. ? But referring to the context of skincare being a "luxury", IT IS a luxury for many people whether they have acne or not. Many people just can't afford skincare. When it's a choice between food/paying bills, etc., or buying a skincare product/routine, obviously they HAVE to skip purchasing skincare products. I understand what you meant, but just because someone has acne doesn't mean they have the means to treat it. So yes, it absolutely is a luxury for many people.

I'm a 56 y/o woman who just started using a very thin layer of Vaseline all over my face after my serum/moisturizer, and I have noticed SUCH a difference in my skin. It is softer, more supple, and just seems to have more "oomph". It may not work on you younger folks, but for me, its a miracle worker!

    • For me skin care, washing my hair regularly, showering regularly is part of the routine that helps me a lot with depression: having a routine helps you get out of bed and do things even when I don't feel like it ... it's not just a "cuddle" it's a real routine to keep yourself clean. Obviously the routine is also made up of many other things that involve cleaning the house, running errands regularly ... It sucks to be so depressed that you don't have the strength not to brush your teeth.

  • Until recently, I worked in skincare for a brand that told us that everything was safe for the "most sensitive" skin, and that one of the founders had rosacea (as do I) and everything (including strong acids and multiple exfoliators) were safe to use. These were luxury priced products and they RUINED my skin. I've been using a prescription rosacea treatment, but I just picked up a few of Beauty Bay's products (both moisturisers, mushroom serum and gel cleanser) and I can't stress how impressed I am. My redness has gone down, my skin is soft, none of them sting on application, nothing is heavily fragranced or full of sensitising essential oils. If you need rosacea-friendly basics, they are great!

  • Really appreciate that compilation! I found out last year (through a lot of trial and error) that I'm allergic to tocopheryl acetate, and it's in *everything* so it's been quite hard for me to find moisturisers and especially sunscreens. Checked out your recommendations and found some that should work for me, thank you!

Available at Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury and on their website too - been using them for like a year, and they're amazing! Would love to see you review some of their products ☀️

  • Loved this, thanks James! My skin really used to like the ordinary moisturiser- it drank it up, then I had the same as you where it just slid around my face. My fave bargain products right now are some of the primark skincare! I really like their HA lightweight moisturiser, the cleansing balm (although it feels more oily than my fave squalane) is really good at make up removal. I'm trying a few of their serums at the moment too- so cheap.

  • My skin absolutely loves elfs happy hydration moisturiser with hemp in, I use this at night and it's so moisturising but not too heavy or sticky! I've also recently started using the blue bondi sands spf and I'm liking that so far! Leaves me with a nice glow. I'd be interested to try the byoma cleanser as I currently use corsx good morning cleanser but it leaves me a bit dry after use! Thanks for the tips James ✨️💜

I started him off with the Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser, the Q10 Antioxidant Serum, the Omega Water Cream Moisturizer, and the Ordinary's AHA and BHA peel for once a week. So far, so good, but I do need to get him to wear a good sunscreen!

  • I bought recently a moisturiser ‘ Rose Gold Rescue’ from Bliss for £5 in Boots and I am absolutely loving it! It’s got this very creamy and luxurious texture but sinks in to the skin so quickly! It’s definitely more for people with normal/combination/oily skin! It’s going to be my fav for summer! I honestly couldn’t believe how luxurious it feels for £5! It’s like a marshmallow/whipped cream texture.

  • Yes! Vaseline is great stuff! I opt for the Cerave healing ointment because I use it on my lips (I keep the small tube in my bag) and I like the feel better than Vaseline but both are great for around the eyes and covering little cuts or ouchies (what my whole family uses if they are not actively bleeding). But Cerave is still pretty affordable and you get a lot in either type of packaging - tub or tube.

But I agree, it’s very good, especially for oily skin.
