The Absolute Basics: Skin Care for the Beginner

[dogthedog2]

So you do this everyday? Should you use cleanser before you shower or after?

[DerekTanWeiHong1990]

it has nothing to do with gay

take good care with your skin

[gunlover94]

your skins isn't perfect?? lol

[TheIntunecatu]

what do you mean gay people are so nice??? is he gay?

[XXtheJUMPoffXX]

I use the same cleanser too and have nice skin now

[cheetosbitch]

is it okay just to use a sensitive acne treatment kit? i have very very mild acne. but it seems alot easier to just buy a simple kit instead of buying 3-5 different products?

[Wela143]

I live in New York City, my means of transportation is the subway, when I arrive at my place of employment I go straight to the bathroom to wash my hands, I do the same thing when I come home from work I take off my coat and head straight for the bathroom to thoroghly wash my hands. Great video thanks for posting : )

[matispectu]

One question ! In this video you said that you recommended to wash face twice a day and if i do bathe in the middle of the day also dont use a cleanser ! So if i dont use a cleanser when i bathe in the middle of the day can i still apply my skin care after shower ?

Hope you reply me question =)

[TejasM14]

You are a man of much pseudo science. Gravity is pulling the skin down, and somehow rubbing upwards is going to counter that. Ridiculous.

[ziggy41]

@TejasM14 So is it that you don't believe in gravity or that you don't believe in a force which could counteract gravity? I mean, I'm with you on all this psuedo-science bull the media is trying to purport true -- airplanes, birds, jumping...

[TejasM14]

@ziggy41 Gravity is only one small component which has effects on skin. The assertion was that rubbing downwards would promote saggy-ness as it is in the same direction of gravity. That is a ridiculous assertion as rubbing up or down for such a short interval would have no real effect on your skin.

[ziggy41]

@TejasM14 I'd rather not get into a debate about the facio-physical phenomena with regards to source of sag. Gravity is a force component of all systems on Earth, it's a pretty major understatement to call its effects small. And I think you'll find that the sum of *all* these intervals in a lifetime should produce a more accurate picture. Anyway, I didn't comment because I thought you needed education on gravity.. the guy is being helpful, but you only found something negative to comment on.

[Caribdus81]

Hey ross! i love all your videos, but my question to you is when you exfoliate your skin, do you have to use a cleanser (foaming gel) or you don't? your help is appreciated

[sashaqueenie]

You did this video twice? Why? It didn't record the first time?

[flying427]

do you use any night creams? if so which ones? and what about eye creams?...thanks!

[bmbaby15]

Hey great series of videos, very informative. Question on masks. Should guys use them at all, and if so how often and which products have you found to be best.

Also, do you have any info on vitamin pills/supplements. I take solgar but if you have any tips or info to share it would be great.

[hosterposter]

Awesome video man - really appreciate it

[AlfosGand]

Do not waste too much water please. Dont leave the thing open :(. Anyway great video

[bebko3]

woww sexy boyyy here :}

[gqarreola]

I know it's not good to shave after you exfoliate. Since your method isn't to use a scrub to exfoliate, you said you can shave afterwards? Wouldn't that be too much stimulation?

[navi9t99]

Im 30 & still didn't know where to start, the video was a great start

[LoveJenniferYang]

best skincare video!!! thank you so much!!

[BROWNJAPAN]

so if that happens with a face scrub(st.ives scrub) what would your view on the clarisonic be?

[jazzel70]

hey man I heard that I can only use an alcohol free toner after school or after doing anything to clear dirt from our face if we are busy people is that right/

[iLuvTokioHotel1000]

hey whats ur full name on facebook? i couldnt find u

[dannioliva97]

your really hot :3

[embellerna]

during the whole vid I pressed pause and I took notes !! :)

[TheRealJayManz]

The best cleanser I have learned to use is Oatmeal!! Its WORKS SO WELL AND ITS SO CHEAP!!! Haha!!!

[1123359]

@32KOAST use aloe vera,it really helps

[catawba909]

Thanks for turning the facet off, my great great great great grandchildren thank you.

[theAYLEEYUN]

Some skincare women told me since I live in Canada we need sun for vitamin D and since we don't have long summers she basically said that SPF moisturizer was overrated

[sk8rdaniel]

@theAYLEEYUN So then take Vitamin D(w/ vit. K to help absorb). Its super cheap.

[010FSL101]

Lol... i used to scrub the moisturiser in my hands n then onto my face, after this im not gonna do that forsure :D ... thanks...

[1albuseverus]

Isn't he adorable? ^-^

[runjacerun]

great video. i honestly didn't know that about facial scrubs. good to know!

[SoFreshSoClean81]

I want to make the suggestion that you should invest in the clarsonic and tell me how well it bumps up your cleansing routine as well as evening out your skin tone and ensuring your products your apply to your face sinks in and absorbs. And lastly are your still using retin-A? update please! love the vids sending some love and a happy holidays from the central coast of california

[Chouman69]

if you wanted to use the 2% BHA chem exfoliator in the regimen here, what step would it go after/before?

[h3c85]

@Chouman69 I was going to ask the same question lol. So does it go before or after?

[14Yoshi]

I had to google what a toner was. I had no idea :/

[Sk8errr23]

I GOT MAD BRO LOVE FORRR YUUUUUU! DAMN I GET SOPHISTICATED RESULTS FROM THIS ! GOTTA LOVE THESE PRODUCTS !

[freedomiswithin]

ur so hot dude!

[realNZT]

about the gym, is there anything i should put on before the gym that would help me stay clean from bacteria? ive been getting crazy acne from the gym lately :(

[32KOAST]

How to you repair a red nose from sun damage ?

[PinkPlaidLove]

What are your thoughts on the Clarisonic?

[evster320]

What about after shaving. Should you wash first, shave, then use the toners and Moisturisers?

[Your1funnyfriend]

You are beautiful :) 

[benford1992]

Excellent videos! Thank you sir! You seem to have a great attitude and should look into expanding your subject. Could you give some advice on grooming/style tips for the rest of the body please?

[rahul000dostana]

nice



[corruptwraith]

such a great video, thanks

[1123359]

WARNING!EVERYONE,DO NOT BUY ANY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN MINERAL OIL BECAUSE IT IS ALLERGENIC AND CAN HAVE HIGHER RISK OF CANCER.

[STCJCAC]

Ross is my hero!

ROSS FOR PRESIDENT!

[WangoReads]

[Zaki123456able]

[1123359]

I bought the clean and clean cleanser and the moisturizer I feel great!!!!

[califunk2121]

[1123359]

Ross is so awesome!he inspires me!

[Flippified]

[andyfreak]

Lol. You seem whiter in this video.

[seigida]

You're very very very handsome lol, You should be mine! :P

[luverboy27]

Hi, thank you for ur videos, just started watching them. I never used a product on my face. now after 27yrs I realised that my face does not look the same, i have dark patches on my cheeks, chin, corners of my forehead due to sun burns. How can i get rid of them and get my clear looking clean face back again. is there a chance or is it too late for that.

[unknownstudd69]

thanks dude but i still feel a bit gay doing this lol

[PhatPhunk]

That was really helpful Ross!! Thanks for the video. Cheers!

[teameymelli1]

this American Psycho preening really does make you feel like a million bucks.

[PBunnieP]

Great stuff, just discovered your channel whilst searching for a product. Though I suppose I don't need any "men's skincare", I'll definitely sneakily try to recommend you to my bf. Maybe hearing things from a guys' perspective will makes it easier for him to get into a routine.

[PLAYNIGGA1]

hey ross i watched all ur vids i was just trying to get my skin routine right .. your amazing thanks for ur help world needs more people like you that take there time and help other people

[LaRezNar]

I have a question ross, okay so when i wake up i wash my face with plain tepid water, then after work around 6pm i do my workout at home and sweat for about an hour. What do i do after workout? You said only wash with cleanser in the morning and at night.. but after a workout im all sweaty and oily and full of bacteria, do i just take a shower like you said and just let the water drip on your face and wash with cleanser at night? or? Thanks .

[MrRizthekid]

ross! i need your help. sometimes i feel my face being super extra dirty sometimes and feel the need to wash it. when i do. my body makes more oil on my face and i break out super bad. but if i dont wash it. i also break out. i heard of these CVS oil remover sheets. do u think i could use those? or is that the same thing as washing my face? PLZ RESPOND :) and maybe a future product review?

[tetra3000]

I wish Neutrogena would take the fragrance out of their visibly even, it always gives me a stingy sensation for a minute or so. It says suitable for sensitive skin yet fragrance kind of contradicts that statement surely?

[amandajayne88x]

Lol you are so hot!

[itachi000797]

When you touched your face, i gotta admit, it turned me on.

[brodyboy7]

I think u turned me gay...

[theboss212sexy]

@brodyboy7 i don't think he is gym because he will got to GYM and he use man stuff>>>

[embellerna]

@brodyboy7 I definitively want to marry him !! :) Why I'm Canadian!!?? :O

[DarshGas]

are fuax hawks still in?

[thorne279]

@DarshGas Who cares...

[jiyanni]

i love you Ross!!!!

[bebeto158]

after using facial cleanser, i use paper towel to dry my face ... its troublesome to get a new towel for every single time u wash your face, paper towel works just fine and is clean

[choiminsik1]

YES A NEW VIDEO!! Time to unpause and watch it now. 12 minutes, this is gonna be great!

[sjpiran]

Hi Ross. I've just watched this video for the umpteenth time ..... and realised that even though I do everything you say (and have seen the benefits!) ..... I always have a hot shower after sport. I'll be turning the heat down to tepid from now on. Thanks for the advice. Stephen in England. xxx

[sjpiran]

[PircCba]

Thanks for this man. i'm a completly newbie in this stuff and your videos are really useful.

I've a whiter skin than you and 22 years old. I ask a in the drugstore and they recommend me using Biotherm Homme aquapower gel + Biotherm homme age fitness yeux.

De you think that's a good idea?

[phillabox]

is toning important? cause i never do it, should i start?

[TheAcrobaticNinja]

Thanks a lot! :)

[fi3ryicy]

hey Ross, i've got a suggestion for you.. for ur future videos, u might wanna consider including links on amazon (or other website) to the products u mention in the particular video in the video description for ur viewers to see the product easily..

thanks for the videos, i learned a lot!!

[thexiyz]

BLOOP <------- he'll read that

[HalfTimesTwo]

So you finally started working out?

[HalfTimesTwo]

Are wash towels as effective as exfoliants?

[k0n0yarr0w]

how about using paper towels to pat the face? is that ok as well?

[tijnmans]

Are there any ingredients that I should make sure that the products I buy include and are there any I should avoid?

[DNBursky]

I have acne and rosacea and use two prescription things and if the toner will mess with my skin. Also I wonder if that moisturizer you recommend can go with the bronzer you recommended, the clinique one. So many other questions...like how can men self tan if when we shave we are basically exfoliating and aren't we rubbing off the tan then? won't the face look spotty?

[sheepbane]

Thanks, great stuff.

[sbailey7334]

wow you've helped me so much with my personal hygiene you have no idea lol

[nicknett8]

what do you use to help remove blemishes?

[2lyan]

I started taking your advices and I got my skin really great now, my GF and my mom are stealing my cosmetics now :D

[woopwoop36977]

Yo ross , have you tried any lab series or kiehls product bfore ? Bcause here in Malaysia there are limited brands , not all of the brands that you've recommended are sold here in Malaysia , so i can't really find the brands that you're using :(

[avestak]

Keep up the good work =) Many of us really appreciate the info Ross.

[firewwall1]

Ross you are so cute and i love that you take such good care of yourself. You're videos are very helpful btw...thanks keep posting and take care :)

[PatrickFreemanMusic]

hey ross would you apply after shave balm the same way as moisturizer?? after a shave of course

thanks

[xxcrazylukexx]

It's at the end of your videos that I realise I don't listen to what you're saying but I've actually been staring at you... what powers do you posess?!

[iPurpleProductions]

i feel like your the only one on youtube that actually knows what hes talking about haa

[RavenLetters2011]

@iPurpleProductions i second thiss..bro good work..people say this is gay but truly this is so helpful man..great work..please dont stop your vids..

[MrTitus93]

Oh gosh.. I use my tower for 2 weeks. I shall change it now.

[unophishal]

when in that process do you shave, and do you reapply moisturizer with SPF if you shower during the day?

[Searchinganswers]

Great video! :)

I have talcum-powder for the greasyness. What is a good brush for that?

I comes with some kind of flat thing, not really a brush, to wipe it on with.

[Nephilim01]

I know how you show that you use cotton balls to apply the facial toner. Does it matter if we use cotton balls or cotton pads? Also, did you say that using the toner will help even out skin tone? Not really helping reduce acne but helping to reduce marks left by acne that cause uneven skin tone?

[vortexmikey]

You don't use Cetapfil anymore?

[MrTitus93]

@vortexmikey Im using Cetapfil!

[dmk247]

Great tip about washing your hands before you wash your face. I never thought about that, but it totally makes sense.

[ALXVid101]

I cringed so much when you left the water on :D

[dean4013]

u always have the great videos =)

[PygmyPhallus]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[MegaLadiesman231]

@MenSkinCareWithRoss can you recommend anything that can help get rid of red marks left from pimples?

[sam55blue]

Could you find products that can be found in England please!! welcome back

[michaeloro12]

@sam55blue

i totally understand i am from England and it can be hard to find the stuff mentioned. But here is what iuse, hope it helps:

I have really sensative skin- i suffer with ezcema so i have to be extra carful with products. I use first of all an emollient called diprobase. it is available in pharmacies but i get mine on prescription as i use it so often. have used it for years and it works well for my skin as it is a deep moisturising cream.

[michaeloro12]

i use clean & clear deep cleansing lotion sensitive skin although i am thinking of trying the one in the video the foaming one as the one i have (its a blue liquid colour) i find a bit too harsh.

i use nivea for men sensitive face wash active comfort system (new formula) it is good does agood job of basic cleaning.

[michaeloro12]

and i use also vaseline coco butter deep conditioning with vitamin E. i canot recommand this product enough. i used to stick with diprobase as i had tried a lot of moisturising creams you find in the shops but they would either sting my face or dry it out with the perfum in them. i tried this one though as i head a few people talk about it! it does a great job i am glad i listened to them. worth trying and not so expensive try tesco.

[JimmothyDean]

I went to the dermatologist a while ago. They gave me meds for my type of acne and it cleared up very well. I got pills, topical medicine, and this other topical medicine that accelerate healing. My parents' insurance covered most of the cost, it came out to be almost $30 which was well worth it! :)

[shin0bi88]

Did you say you're in nursing school ?

You going for 2 year or 4 years ?

[LatinaXoXo87]

I LOVE all of your videos! I would LOVE to see a video where you talk more about yourself! So your subscribers can kinda get an idea of who you are and we can see more of your personality!

[aka2010ism]

for people with oily skin dont use toner it will just make you look greasy.

[rusmihail]

Hi Ross! Respect from Moscow, Russia. I really like your videos. You are becoming my model and I find your advice very helpful. I wish every guy in Russia particularly in Moscow would take care of their appearance to the same extend as you do. I also like your mellow voice. it sounds soft and manly at the same time. Ok, I should not be deviating from the topic now. I hope you will make us happy by producing many more videos for us guys)) Good luck, your subscriber. (hope you get my English))

[IanJayT]

Crushing on you so hard.

[Duske3000]

Hi I am a huge fan of your channel! I would like to ask, in regards to bathing-not cleansing just the face-but scrubbing,soaping up,shampoo,etc-what is the best temperature for your body? I have heard cold to hot to mixed views so I was wondering what your opinion was. Secondly, is it better to cleanse after bathing or before?

[stompdirtyyard]

i have no idea if you said that before but what type of skin do you have ?  cause im liking the products you use and i just wanna know if you have same skin type as me !!

p.s. I love how pretty, amazing, sexy, and knowledgeable you are !! like i would hella love my bf to be like you <33 thanks for ur videos

[aaarsix]

would you recommend using paper towels to dry your face? seems more convenient since you can throw them out every time you use one. thanks

[carol02086]

good demonstration

[carol02086]

ur skin look good

[swiftanddrift]

Can you take ur shirt off :P ?

[mandril6021]

Hi Ross,

I am currently not using any cleanser (at all) - every time I start up using one my skin gets overly greasy and starts making me break out (even if the product is for normal/combination skin to dry/sensitive).

Using a mousturizer kinda have the same effect and wil start irritate about 4 hours after it's applied.

Currently I'm scrubbing two times a week (with a sugar and honey blend followed by a mousturizing mask) as my only treatment.

Any advice or thoughts?

Thank u in advance :)

[sjpiran]

Hi Ross. Another awesome video. From now on, I'll be more gentle using my facecloth. lol. You say you don't have perfect skin ........well I've zoomed in and can't see anything but perfection. You're gorgeous.

Love you lots

Stephen from England. xxx

[GlaciusNLV]

[RomanThatsMe]

If I'd be going to the gym in the morning (after breakfast), should I do the whole process after the workout or before ? Thanks
