Hello everyone, and welcome back
to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Amelia and I am a beauty content creator.
And we may or may not have met before.
If we haven't, lovely to meet you.
If we have, hey, welcome back.
In today's video we are gonna be going through
three of my favourite skincare hacks.
I don't know about you, but I personally love a beauty hack.
Anything that I can do to get more out of my products,
be more time efficient, or just play around with my products
and experience them in a new way
that's gonna be more beneficial for me and my skin
I am in to.
But before we get into it,

But for now let's get stuck into my favourite skincare hacks.
So the first hack is keeping your products cold,
either by putting them in your fridge in the kitchen
or putting them in a beauty fridge.
I love having a small fridge
where I can put some of my skincare products
like gel moisturisers, things that are better off cold.
So my favourite things to keep in there
are usually gel moisturisers.
I love keeping hydrating gel-type masks in there.
This is one of my favourites, it's from Sand & Sky.
I also love keeping mists in there.
So you don't have to keep any of these products
in the fridge.
But for me, I find it more enjoyable
putting a colder product on my face.
I talk about this a lot, but I always wake up puffy.
Your girl likes dairy and she likes salt.
So I need things that are cold on my face
to help deep puff and help with circulation.
So I also really love keeping things like
my rose quartz roller in the fridge,
because putting that on your face icy cold
is actually just heaven first thing in the morning.
And I love using it to kind of just roll around my eye area,
roll all over my face,
along my jaw 'cause I clench my teeth at night fun times
and it is just really, really great.
Another thing that I love to keep in my fridge
are sheet masks.
So I like to do a cold sheet mask
and then I will often take my rose quartz roller
and I will use that and go on over the top
and really roll that serum into my skin.
And it's just heaven.
It's so, so good.
Oils, I wouldn't bother keeping in the fridge.
There's no need, it might solidify
and then it would just completely ruin the oil.
Your actives, so your retinols and your AHAs, BHAs,
no need to put them in the fridge.
And that's kind of it.
Another one of my favourite skincare hacks
is to mix an oil and a water gel together.
So I know that seems a little bit strange
mixing water and oil together,
but you got to trust me on this.
I'm literally wearing it right now.
And am I not glowing.
I love mixing a face oil.
It's your preference, which one you like to do.
I like to do one like this one.
I like this one from Minenssey.
I personally prefer one that is a little bit more dry,
so it's a thinner type of oil.
And then I will mix it
with a really beautiful gel moisturiser
fresh out of the fridge
like the Murad Nutrient-Charged Water Gel.
So I mix three to four drops into my water gel
in the palm of my hand
and then I just smooth it onto my skin.
And if you are time-poor like me,
then mixing the oil into the moisturiser
is just a really efficient way
of getting the products onto your skin.
And I just find that it makes my skin feel really good.
I always look really dewy
and I find that my makeup just sits so beautifully
on top of this little concoction.
So mixing an oil and a water gel together, absolutely fab.
It's not for everybody,
but if you are combo dehydrated like me,
then you might really love this little concoction.
So onto my next hack, which is,
applying products on damp skin.
This is something that I really have only committed to doing
in the last six months.
I've known about it for a while,
but you just get in the habit of popping out of the shower
and drying yourself off with a towel.
But trust me on this, if you hop out of the shower,
leave yourself a little bit damp
and then apply your body creams on.
Whoa! They go on to like a dream.
So my body cream of choice
is the Kiehl's Creme de Corps Body Moisturiser.
This is actual heaven.
It is fabulous on its own,
but I find that when I apply my products on damp skin
they tend to absorb a lot better
and I also don't need to use as much.
So a little bit goes a lot further
and they just go on so smoothly.
And then also doing the same thing with your face,
so I've gotten in the habit of hopping out of a shower
or washing my face, leaving it a bit damp
and then going in with my skincare products.
And again, I'm finding that they are absorbing in
a lot better, sitting more beautifully,
and I am not getting any of that dreaded pilling
or rolling with my products.
So damp skin with your products,
and you're gotta trust me on this,
it makes a world of difference.
Okay, that's everything from me.
I hope you guys enjoyed those skincare hacks.
