How To Correctly Layer Your Skincare | Dr Sam Bunting 

I've been watching this channel long enough that I've actually been using these techniques for years, and I can attest that they WORK! I have the best skin of my life (at 41!), and it's because I took Dr. Sam 's advice on board 😊

I love the 13 dot technique! So simple, yet so effective.

Thank you, perfect timing, I was just about to look up layering advice :)

Love your 13 dot technique. I always think of you when I'm dotting lol. Sometimes I don't count and end up with 15 dots, but I don't think you would be cross about that 🤣. Now I have more dotting techniques to try! Thanks, Emma x

Brilliant video Dr Sam! Very informative and comprehensive coverage of the topic.

Thank you Sam, very helpful!

I have been using your 13 dot technique for some years now - ditto the sandwiching of moisturiser when using retinoid a few times a week. I also always use the moisturiser goggle technique but also add a layer of vaseline around eyes and mouth as an extra measure. I very much enjoyed this video - always happy to see your content but love it when you post a make up tutorial/favourites too. That's how I discovered the Surratt range and various other items. Please do more of those - I really enjoy the lightest of make up and your style is very much how I like to do my make up too.

I have learnt a lot. Practical videos are helping to learn the info fast. Thanks a lot! I will watch ur other videos and also lookout for practical videos like this..

Excellent information! Thanks

Thanks for advice about avoiding edges!

Hi Dr Sam for me is the Brightly double layering in places with more pigmentation. Thank you so much for all your valuable tips. I really enjoy using your products in special Nightly eye serum which is a dream.

Great video Dr Sam👍🏻 I use you're products over two months now and I love it👌🏻💙 one thing that you have to create is a light version of Mineral sunscreen for men skin. I wish you a nice weekend Toni

lots of food for thought here.. thank you! :-)

Loved the idea of the goggles technique going to try that now so I don’t wake up in the morning with Tretinon on my eyes as u said and my eyes so sore thx great video

I've been on 0.05% tretinoin since May, and have had lots of peeling, even while doing the sandwich method *and* only applying it twice a week. I've stopped it for this past week and my skin has calmed down considerably. Maybe I need a thicker moisturizer?

I've been using the 13 dot technique, as well as the sandwich and goggle techniques when applying tretinoin. Do you have advice about moving away from the sandwich technique now that I've been using tretinoin for a year and a half? Would it work better?

As beautiful as ever xxx

It's quite strange - my undereye area handles retinol (or really most products) just fine, while the rest of my face tends to be sensitive to whatever I apply. I have a mild rosacea and actually I think my skin tone has improved a lot since starting retinol! My skin used to be red all the time, now it looks like I've always wanted it to. Couldn't be happier!

For how long do you need to layer when first using a retinod,? at what point would one feel safe putting it directly onto the skin. I have been layering for 2 weeks now just starting at 67 lol as an abundance of caution and so far so good, I do not know the answer to my question.

What if one doesn’t have oily skin ??

So, we use our 10 fingers to apply sunscreen. What was I thinking all this time while using just "TWO" finger tips. Somebody should remind that lady that our hands are not plastic, skin on our hands absorbs products too, you know

Hi Dr. Sam! The issue I'm experiencing when using the flawless nightly/brightly with the flawless moisturizer is that I'm constantly pilling no matter how much I wait in between the layers. It's not a big deal for the nightly since I'm only using them at night, but it's still a nuisance especially in the morning :( I hope I just got a bad batch or something.

Hey Doc, I would like to date you in all actuality!!

This is such a great video! I have so many more questions (as I am 59 and using a LOT of actives). The biggest question is around L-Ascorbic Acid version of Vitamin C. Do I need to lower the PH of my skin before I apply? What other products will reduce it’s efficacy? Peptides (like argiriline and matrixyl ). Do you need to apply it first? Or do you have to check the PH of the other products you use before (like essences). I am trying to incorporate so many actives and most are single ingredient so I can add, change and remove as needed. NIOD dismutase saccharide, Urea essence, Vitamin C, Argiriline, Eye serum with peptides (NIOD) Niacinamide, spot salycilic acid, Azelaic acid, CoQ10, ceramide moisturizer and sunscreen; and in the evening, NIOD dismutase saccharide, Urea Essence, Retin A, Growth Factors, DNA repair, Matryxl, Hydroquinone alternate with alpha Arbutin, Eye serum with peptides, eye cream with retinoid, ceramide moisturizer. In the early evening I wash my face, add copper peptides (NIOD) and green tea essence and use my LED. I assume the time lag of an hour or so before my retinoid should be enough. I enjoy my skincare process, it is almost like meditation, and I believe I need these to address my aging skin issues, but I am not sure if I am getting the most out of each. I do a lot of reading and it depends on what and who you read what is allowed and what is not. All this is to say the layering skincare could be a series for many of us! Thank you for all your informative videos!

What a beautiful woman!
