- This was my face on Friday.
Uh!
Hi everyone.
I'm Tamara.
And I'm the acquisition specialist at Adore Beauty.
I'm here today to talk to you about my sensitive skin
and the products I use for it.
Before we start, if you wanna see more videos like this,
please feel free to subscribe to our channel.
For as long as I can remember,
I've had super sensitive skin.
That's prone to being red,
it's prone to being dry.
It just reacts to everything.
Bit like me I guess.
I'm sensitive and react to everything.
What if it turns out that your skin is actually a reflection
of the person you are.
That's stressful.
But anyway yes sensitive skin.
I think I've become a bit of an expert in sensitive skin
due to your mind troubles over the years.
So you might have a sensitive skin
if you're prone to breaking out in rashes,
or if you just easily react to products that you use.
You might experience redness,
you might experience a bit of uneven texture or dryness.
If you have a sensitive skin,
it's likely you have an impaired skin barrier,
which means that anything in the environment around you,
this is including products,
but also different aggressives like the weather,
like the environment can impact on your skin
and cause it to break out or become sensitized.
What we can do is treat this with a range of products
that is gonna build up that skin barrier
and give you the hydration you need to I guess combat
these mean things coming for your skin.
So first up we have the Bioderma Sensibio H2O thing.
So basically this is perfect for removing your makeup.
With my sensitive skin,
I can find that my skin even reacts to things like water,
which is a bit distressing.
But with the Bioderma,
I find that I can use this and I'll get no redness
and no reaction at all.
It's particularly good for removing eye makeup.
If you've come home from after a long night out,
you can use this to take off your eye makeup,
take everything off and then cleanse after that.
And it's just gonna give you that really good start
to your cleansing.
This will cleanse away any impurities from your skin.
It melts away makeup really, really quickly.
And as you can see the bottle is huge.
So has lasted me forever.
Next up we have the new found love of my life.
I'm in love with this cleanser.
Up until this year I had not met a cleanser
that could be so good for me.
In fact I kinda believed that cleansing was just rubbish
because every time I used to cleanse
all my skin would be tight and painful.
But then I met the Pai
Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser.
I'll show you.
It has a creamy texture instead of a gel texture.
So what that does is it means it doesn't strip away
any of the moisture from your skin.
Once you're done cleansing,
your skin actually feels soft and supple
and so much better than it started with.
And it smells like apple pie.
In the summer when I was on holidays,
I got some random reaction to just being at the beach,
being in the sun who knows.
That's my skin you just can't see what's coming.
And my face broke out
into quite a horrendous red bumpy rash.
And I thought hey I've got my new favorite cleanser here.
I'll just stop by just trying to cleanse it, clean it,
and to see how it goes.
And actually within 20 minutes,
my skin had calmed so much down.
So since then I've been raving about this product
to everyone I can.
And lots of them are loving it too.
So my love.
As an added bonus,
all the Pai product are cruelty free and vegan.
Pie products is super supernatural.
They are a little bit on the pricey side,
but it's so worth it for what you get.
Obviously there's two sizes for this cleanser.
So I'd already bought the big boy
'cause the small ones just not gonna get me by.
But you can try it out with a smaller bottle first,
which just means you can get used to it.
And then you can go for the big boy later if you need to.
Next up we have the asap Super b Serum.
Now I would say this is probably
the biggest game changer product for me
since I started out at Adore.
When I started at Adore,
I had to wear makeup everywhere I went
even to the supermarket.
'Cause my skin was always red.
It was always reactive.
And I woke up in the morning and it was already red
as if it was allergic to even just sleeping.
But since I started using the Super b,
it has completely changed my skin.
In particular what it does is lock in moisture
into your skin.
So it stays hydrated throughout the day,
reduces redness or minimize this redness
and basically just works with your skin
to create a better skin barrier
so that you're not more prone to reaction like I was before.
So Super b Serum is your Vitamin B3 Serum or Niacinamide.
It's gonna hydrate the skin.
It's gonna increase suppleness
and it's gonna help to reduce those fine lines you get
from just the daily dehydration.
It's very lightweight texture and
Oh I have some left.
I thought this was empty because I use it very frequently.
So it just absorbs into your skin super easily.
And I use this morning and night
and it's completely changed my skincare game.
It also smells really nice too.
So that's good.
If you guys wanna hear more about Vitamin B,
Joanna actually do the video all about Niacinamide,
which we will link above for you.
So the next product I have here
is the Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator.
Now this is one on a little bit on the pricey side,
but let me tell you about it before you run away.
So basically what this product does,
it's a combination of exfoliation and hydration.
So for people like me,
I find that using products that contain retinol
can really freak out my skin.
Even products with the smallest amount of retinol,
my face breaks out.
It's like no tomorrow cancel hate you.
And turns into the Sahara desert.
Then I met this product.
This serum gives similar results
to a daily 20% glycolic acid treatment.
It has a combination of chemical exfoliant,
but also it has that hydration in there
so that your skin isn't just being stripped.
It's being exfoliated but also hydrated at the same time.
So one of the key ingredients is hyaluronic acid obviously.
And that's gonna give you the boost of hydration.
It also contains kombucha which is a bit exciting,
but basically what this has done for me
is being able to give me that glow
without creating a great big breakout in my skin.
If I use this consistently,
I can actually get a glassy texture to my skin,
which I was never able to achieve before.
It's really, really good for all kinds of skin types,
but especially for sensitive skin
where you don't just wanna be taking away the moisture.
You wanna be giving it back to it at the same time.
Obviously when my using active products like retinol,
like your what are they called.
When you're using retinol and glycolic acids,
you need to be wearing a sunscreen during the day
to protect your skin.
Even if you're not using these products,
you can benefit from the daily use of an SPF 50.
The final product I have here today
is the Probiotic sleep mask from Aspect.
Now this is kind of like a big hug from your friend
when everything goes to mess.
So this is a sleep mask obviously
that you can put on before you go to bed at night
and wear it overnight.
So what you would do
is use this as the last step in your skincare routine.
If you're gonna do a few serums beforehand
and it's just going to lock everything in
and it's gonna give you really deep nourishment
that your skin's needing.
If you don't wanna leave it on overnight,
you can just leave it on for 20 minutes
and then rinse it off.
But leaving it on overnight is really nice.
'Cause it's just gonna mean you wake up
and everything feels better.
This mask is filled with a blend of hydrating ingredients
that are gonna boost the moisture levels in your skin
and help it with any redness.
I haven't actually got a moisturizer here with me today
'cause I'm yet to find one that I truly truly love.
What I can do is use this.
I probably use it about once a week
and it does give me really, really good moisture.
I am on the hunt for a really good moisturizer
for sensitive skin.
Sorry if you guys have any ideas,
please feel free to put them in the comments below
and help a girl out.
So I'll just pop some of this onto my hand for you.
My hands never gonna look so good.
So it's super creamy texture.
It's quite thick.
It's also perfect for if you're going on a long flight.
I'm just rubbing it in my hands.
get this nourishment right now.
(voice offscreen laughs)
For those of us that do have really sensitive skin,
what we need to do is focus on creating hydration
in our skin and also building up that skin barrier
so that when nasty things come in
and try and give us horrible rashes,
our skin's ready and it's prepped to defend against it.
For instance you've got your Niacinamide.
So your Vitamin Bs are gonna be really, really good
for that because they're gonna build that hydration.
What's not going to be good is using too many actives.
If you use too many actives at once,
that's just gonna throw out your skin balance
and create a few issues.
If you wanna start introducing ingredients such as retinol
into your skincare routine,
I would recommend just spacing it out.
So maybe start by trying it once every third day
and see how you go.
If it becomes too much you can always back away
or you can increase it as your skin gets adapted
to the products.
But I'm so boring.
Just for example,
the other day I was trying to do a cute face mask situation
with my cat.
And I put on this new mask that I'd got from work.
And I didn't really look at the ingredients.
I had horrendous results,
which was my face looking like not only to tomato
but that I've stained it with something.
But in saying that I use the cleanser as always,
and then pop some of this on
and actually within about an hour,
it had returned back to normal
and I'd sent to everyone at work a photo being like,
"It's all okay everyone.
My face has not burnt off today."
Thank you so much for watching everyone.
