I have been watching your videos for 6 years now and you manage to surprise me everytime with your authentic and witty style! It makes me approach my day with a more humorous outlook. Thank you!!!
i guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Atlas Gideon i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you Ruth, great video. Over the years, you have turned me (and my poor, poor bank balance) into raving skincare junkies. I simply can’t get enough! You were my first you tuber and remain my firm favourite. Again, thank you..
Your tan looks gorgeous. Could you do a video on different brands? I’ve been into a nice glow this summer, but I’m too afraid to stray from my tried and true.
Ruth I love your videos! Never tune out. One thing I am confusing myself with is how often you should flip between retinol and acids? Do you do twice a week for each treatment or more regular acid and less retinol?? Thank you! x
Sorry, yes: confusing. You can absolutely use them together - AHA and then retinol - but I actually use retinol now on more nights than I would use an AHA and I just find it easier to alternate them. I probably use glycolic twice a week, maybe three times, but retinol about five. So sometimes I use both, but mostly I swap. x
Hi Ruth! Love, love your simple but effective sounding routine! I've been watching your videos for years, and was wondering if you are use the Alpha H Liquid Gold? x
Your vids do the opposite of tuning me out, I feel motivated to *do* nice things for myself (regardless of the content). You're lovely as always Ruth :)
Right to the last word! I could listen to you all day! I love how you get your words mixed up - it gives me hope!!! I do it all the time! You are a very engaging person and a joy to behold with your double-layered tan! Again, something I'd do because I'd lost my train of thought and just put another layer on! If Thai food helps then I may just order me some tonight! God bless you honey! You're a tonic to the soul! XxxC😉
I don't think I have any on here! V minimal makeup as it's a skincare video and I like to keep things natural - I probably took a bit of concealer over the lid and buffed it in, and the sheen is no doubt just oiliness because it was SO HOT the other day! : )
My first thought was how ruddy glowing you looked !!. Love it x My go to is the Goldfaden wake up call it’s unreal !!. And the elemis superfood facial oil smells unreal and I can use it all over without breaking out . It’s great if you add it to your moisturiser xxx awww I’m so sorry u were having an emotional day . I get those often and my mum passed away over 20 years ago :( xxx Let yourself cry that’s good to get it out xx
I love this routine, I prefer acid or retinol days too. Feels less cluttered and easier to organise and keep on top of! Do you not use alpha h liquid gold anymore? If you do, do you follow it up with anything? Thanks x
Hey Ruth, I use micellar water in the morning as well, but you have to rinse of the residue afterwards. If micellar water stays on your skin for too long it can be very drying and irritating
You must be using good stuff because your skin looks beautiful. What should I use for my undereye......the skin is thinning, I'll admit I don't drink enough water 😏. .....is it just dehydration that causes it or is there something else I can use? Does it really do anything if you put eye pads underneath and relax with them all??! Xx
Ruth, you are lovely! I just love your train of thoughts, when you get offtopic, in fact it's my favourite part of every one of your videos. 🙂. And about your crying sessions, I feel you, I also have "random acts of cryness". I think it's the weather + PMS. Good day to you!
Lovely video thank you. I truly believe that skincare starts with eating well exercise good sleep and the number one skin care is no stress. All those products you really dont need. It really comes down to sunscreen.
Ruth I wonder if I could ask you a question. Of course I have seen you show us so many wonderful products but I am having a tough time deciding on something. I am 55, fairly good skin (a tad sensitive, but not so much so that I need products specific to sensitive skin) and I need a primer with SPF (a lower one is fine) and I would love one that is evens skin tone, or maybe with a little blur action but every time I look I just can't decide on one. I have not really used primer at all before but I do want to now, especially because I need some under makeup sunscreen. If you see this and have a moment, would you mind suggesting a couple? I don't mind paying a bit for good products but naturally I would love something reasonable. Thanks Ruth. I love your channel and have come to very much trust your recommendations.
Try the Chanel eye cream Ruth...it’s so nice. I have a couple of sample tubes, it’s probably $$$$. I haven’t checked the price yet, Are you enjoying your summer weather? It’s been so hot here. Fans going ac running 24/7 ...drinking one gator aid a day and lots of water.
What a Cute hairband🤗 Really suits you Ruth 😍 actually all that hairdo looks great🤗 I know. ...I know what you gonna say....that this is just your Washing Face Look😇..... You got such a beautiful face😗 hiding behind your hair. ... I encourage you to wear your Hair Up more often...Or at least off your face🤗 That's it about a hairstyle. ..😍 In regards to the video... Very and I mean very informative Am learning LOTS about Skincare with you . THANKS XXX
Best sunscreen I've found which is mineral and super light with no white cast is the Etude house airy finish spf50 - gorgeous under makeup and matt finish. No spots and my skin is sensitive - this is beautiful
Ruth-I share your “philosophy” about eye cream- It was the first and for over 20 years maybe the only moisturiser I ever used on my face and even as I have aged I continue to use it because that way (as you say) I pay attention to the area. I am now over 60 and the results speak for themselves.
I don't know what you're talking about: With your dewey, bronzey skin and your cheery striped head kerchief and your rattan chair lounging behind you, the scene is so 70s fabulous it makes your product recommendations much more riveting. Keep applying a double layer of self-tanner, kiddo; it's suits you! TFP : )
The official line would be no, steer clear, but the worry with retinol is during pregnancy and it's to do with vitamin a and building up a dangerous excess that can cause birth defects. So I'm not really sure why the warning then sort of crept across to breastfeeding, especially as you can't cause birth defects after a baby is born! Taken orally, I think it could get into the breastmilk (?) but applied topically, in such tiny amounts, it seems so unlikely that any could pass into the breastmilk, and even if it did, it would be so so so small.... I always think that if you are even slightly worried, just wait. I used retinol a little during breastfeeding, but the warnings put me off even though I spoke to doctors and they said it would be fine! x
hahaha love love love the eye comment, WHY o WHY are the ingredients on skincare boxes sooooo weeny? The extra glow looks v.natural like sunkissed x0x0
I have always cleansed my face in the mornings one way or another, either using micellar water, or before they came on the market using toner. When I was explaining my routine at a department store beauty counter the sales woman said 'Ooo, aren't you good' when I mentioned it. I was so surprised, as I assumed everyone in the beauty industry would know to cleanse in the morning!
You encourage me to follow a decent skincare routine in the hope I might one day have skin s radiant, dewy and gorgeous as yours, Ruth. 😍😍😍😍 Such a girl crush haha! 😘
I always spend half my time viewing your videos laughing - in a good way. Even if you had nothing to say, it would be funny. Actually, lots of great advice, ta. x
well I stayed til the very end so I'm MVP today thank you one and all! heh I enjoy your simple routine...gets the job done and let's go eat. I also believe in eye creams...that's multiple, people. I mix 2 at a time since I can't find just one that gets it all done to my standards. Yep, that's 3 eye creams in rotation/ use at all times. ($$$? yes. but I don't spend money on eating out/ drinking so there you go.)
I love acids toners too. I’m using the Dr Dennis Gross extreme alpha beta peel pads at the mo and I’m not sure when to use them as they have retinol in. I’d rather use them at night but then can I use a separate retinol afterwards?
Ruth Crilly thanks Ruth. No they don’t sting me. I wasn’t sure whether to use them in the morning only or on alternate nights and use retinol on the nights I don’t use retinol. I don’t want my skin to hate me! xx
Wonderfully fair & informative as ever 🙂 Please could you tell us a bit about your nail care. Your hands & nails always look so looked after. I love the colour polish you are wearing x 😂 The 25yr old you comment 😂 that's what my friend says to me when I get excited to go to Boots 😂
It seems that your love of Ann Semonin Eye Cream has wafted away. As I am easily influenced, and you were so full of enthusiasm over its magical properties, I remortgaged my house and ordered two. I intended to order only one but my fingers didn’t listen to my brain. Can I tell whether it has worked its magic? But it’s impossible to say what my eyes would look like now, if I wasn’t.
No, not at all - still my most-used eye cream, despite the shocking price tag! But always looking for alternatives to things. Especially if they are v expensive. x
Sorry but another question. I love Isle of Paradise drops, but what do I do to prevent my face looking like an Army Combat Jacket after using retinol, or glycolic acid the following night?
Ruth Crilly I’m certainly not hardcore but I do have some hyper-pigmentation, which could be a contributory factor. By the way I love your lightly tanned skin. Keep it up for the summer.
It may help to add aloe vera as a moisturising step after retinols/acids. I don't know why it helps, but I find that my skin looks better when I use it with my usual moisturiser after retinol.
Ruth Crilly You look lovely, so don’t risk it. I am off to Portugal where there is a Sephora. Is there anything you would suggest to look at there, which is unavailable here? Will be with family so my spending is likely to be more retrained than if I was on my own. Lol
I think people tend to over cleanse the face these days. If you've done a thorough cleanse in the evening, then all you would really need to do in the morning is rinse with water.
Oh Ruth i have been following you for more than 6 years now and one thing you are not - A boring bitch :D And this comes from a 25 years old girl :) You are amazing and honestly i could listen to you for hours, the way you talk and present and explain is wonderful :)
Ruth you are the best! Honestly, I watch your videos as much for the comedic value as I do for the intended content.
I have been watching your videos for 6 years now and you manage to surprise me everytime with your authentic and witty style! It makes me approach my day with a more humorous outlook. Thank you!!!
i guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?

@Atlas Gideon it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Brodie Moshe You are welcome :D
Crilly, that description box is a thing of beauty. 😍😍 Thank you so much for including pricing!!
Love your videos Ruth, really look forward to them!Live for your recommendations! Hope you enjoyed your Thai food! xx
Thank you Ruth, great video. Over the years, you have turned me (and my poor, poor bank balance) into raving skincare junkies. I simply can’t get enough! You were my first you tuber and remain my firm favourite. Again, thank you..
Your tan looks gorgeous. Could you do a video on different brands? I’ve been into a nice glow this summer, but I’m too afraid to stray from my tried and true.
Have you made a video about your full body summery glow? I’d love to know your self tan routine.
Ruth you look gorgeous in this,your skin looks amazing!!
Love the tan Ruth !! Thank you for all the lovely recommendations, always trust you ! .
Ruth I love your videos! Never tune out. One thing I am confusing myself with is how often you should flip between retinol and acids? Do you do twice a week for each treatment or more regular acid and less retinol?? Thank you! x
Sorry, yes: confusing. You can absolutely use them together - AHA and then retinol - but I actually use retinol now on more nights than I would use an AHA and I just find it easier to alternate them. I probably use glycolic twice a week, maybe three times, but retinol about five. So sometimes I use both, but mostly I swap. x
What base are you wearing? You are glowing - not overly done, just perfect!
It's the new Flawless Filter from Charlotte Tilbury - so amazing! x
Ruth Crilly Used that for my wedding recently!
Hi Ruth! 💛
There is a new cc-cream 50+ from la-roche-posey. It has a bit of coveridge - perfect for summer!
Hi Ruth where's your headband from? I love it. Also this vid and your recommendations!!
Hi Ruth! Love, love your simple but effective sounding routine! I've been watching your videos for years, and was wondering if you are use the Alpha H Liquid Gold? x

Might not be feeling so great.. but you definitely look amazing!
Pile on the self tanner, it’s a great fresh look!
All best you you Ruth
Love you Ruth, your face looks so refreshing with more tan on 😋
Looking great Ruth, what eyeshadow do you have one? It looks so natural yet effective!
I don't think I have any on here! V minimal makeup as it's a skincare video and I like to keep things natural - I probably took a bit of concealer over the lid and buffed it in, and the sheen is no doubt just oiliness because it was SO HOT the other day! : )
Your routine is obviously working your skin looks amazing! X
My first thought was how ruddy glowing you looked !!. Love it x My go to is the Goldfaden wake up call it’s unreal !!. And the elemis superfood facial oil smells unreal and I can use it all over without breaking out . It’s great if you add it to your moisturiser xxx awww I’m so sorry u were having an emotional day .

you look incredible ruth - i think youre getting younger!
I love the tan!! You're radiant!
Hey Ruth, I use micellar water in the morning as well, but you have to rinse of the residue afterwards. If micellar water stays on your skin for too long it can be very drying and irritating
You look fantastic Ruth:). Great recommendations as always.
Your skin is absolutely beautiful!!
So Youthful, incredible.
You must be using good stuff because your skin looks beautiful. What should I use for my undereye......the skin is thinning, I'll admit I don't drink enough water 😏. .....is it just dehydration that causes it or is there something else I can use?

Great video Ruth, I just bought the Dr Sam cleanser can't wait to try it
Ruth, you are lovely! I just love your train of thoughts, when you get offtopic, in fact it's my favourite part of every one of your videos. 🙂. And about your crying sessions, I feel you, I also have "random acts of cryness". I think it's the weather + PMS. Good day to you!

You are my skin goals! So gorgeous. And Goliath is the best...who doesn't love Billy Bob?
maybe it's the tan or the combination of little make up and the headband but you looked properly stunning in this video!
I feel the same about eye creams. I can go without a face cream, but never without an eye cream!
Your skin looks amazing here flawless
The tanning drops irritated the bejesus out of my face, at least i can use it on my body! Love a good skincare video, they're one of my faves you do!
Hi Ruth I'm using beauty pie plantastic micropeeling super drops every morning before serum. Is this an acid peel..and so should be used at night!?
What a Cute hairband🤗
Really suits you Ruth 😍 actually all that hairdo looks great🤗
I know. ...I know what you gonna say....that this is just your Washing Face Look😇.....
You got such a beautiful face😗 hiding behind your hair. ...
I encourage you to wear your Hair Up more often...Or at least off your face🤗
That's it about a hairstyle. ..😍
In regards to the video...
Very and I mean very informative
Am learning LOTS about Skincare with you . THANKS XXX

Hello dear, thank you for your recommendations, loved the video! I hope you had a lovely dinner and feel better xxx
Amazing show. Love it just finished the latest season!
Love the chair!
I love the tan, you are glowing ❤️✨
Boring? Never!!! We love you! Sorry about your Dad. I lost my father a couple of years ago, and I know how you feel.
xx
I’ve only got one face😂😂thanks Ruth this was super informative 😘
Loving the tan.....looks very natural. 😎
Any additional tips on how and when to use gradual self tanners on the face? You look great btw! Adorable on all fronts.
I don't know what you're talking about: With your dewey, bronzey skin and your cheery striped head kerchief and your rattan chair lounging behind you, the scene is so 70s fabulous it makes your product recommendations much more riveting. Keep applying a double layer of self-tanner, kiddo; it's suits you! TFP : )
Haha, will do xx
Your humor, love it.
Love the hairband
yes I was thinking the same, its lovely
Anthropologie. HIDEOUSLY expensive, I think, for a hairband, but I wear it a lot. : )
Loveeee your videos...I want to try the medik8 crystal retanol...is it safe to use during breastfeeding? X
no.

Literally need binoculars
From one boring B to another 🙂you are just awesome. And I actually laugh out loud when I watch your videos. Which is rare for me. ❤️
Hahahaha xx

Thanks Amanda, that's very cheering! x
Ruth you are a wonderful person. Be gentle with yourself. I am going to try that Autograph tan.
You look glow-y and summery - lovely. And the chair! =)
The Clinique balm you showed me before has changed my like skin so good now don't need foundation
It's so good x
Hello! I don’t moisturize with retinol either. I’m guessing it’s ok to do.?
Do you take the self tan down to your neck aswell? @modelrecommends
Love skinceuticals ferulic. The absolute best! Thanks for sharing!
Yes that's an amazing one x
You look amazing with a tan!!!!!!!!!
I love your laid back..honest approach. Hope you enjoyed your Thai as a little of what you fancy does you good!..😉❤
It was so nice x
Thank you for a great video, and another endorsement of dr sams flawless cleanser, think I’ll be investing x thank you
well I stayed til the very end so I'm MVP today thank you one and all! heh I enjoy your simple routine...gets the job done and let's go eat. I also believe in eye creams...that's multiple, people.

Ruth I just had to say - you are amazing!
Your lovely chair in this months vogue costing thousands !
I know! : )
I love the tan Ruth. You rock it!!! xo
Thank you! Haha you're not boring at all 😘 hope you feel better
Damn Ruth! I know you are 30 something, but your face looks so youthful. And you are rocking the tan. Thank you for the info.
Always look forward to seeing you on here...its been months since you've done anything on the up hill. Aren't you doing that anymore?
It is being merged into A Model Recommends xx
I'm feeling the tan! Makes me want to use the ones I have on hand instead of being a pasty ghost.
Really love your videos!! You look great
I loved this vid! So real.
I just adore your videos.
Thank you x
I love acids toners too. I’m using the Dr Dennis Gross extreme alpha beta peel pads at the mo and I’m not sure when to use them as they have retinol in. I’d rather use them at night but then can I use a separate retinol afterwards?
I'd just use those at night, on their own. I found them really strong, do they sting you? xx
Ruth Crilly thanks Ruth. No they don’t sting me. I wasn’t sure whether to use them in the morning only or on alternate nights and use retinol on the nights I don’t use retinol. I don’t want my skin to hate me! xx
So relatable hope you enjoyed your food xx
It was lush x
Your tooth gap is so foxy!! Love your vids xo
FOXY! Thank you! : )
Wonderfully fair & informative as ever 🙂
Please could you tell us a bit about your nail care. Your hands & nails always look so looked after. I love the colour polish you are wearing x
😂 The 25yr old you comment 😂 that's what my friend says to me when I get excited to go to Boots 😂
I've been getting gel nails done! I bloody love them - every three weeks, low maintenance, boom. They are in my faves video coming up! x
Can you use retinol products while pregnant? I’ve heard not but not sure whether this just relates to prescription strength...
See above! x
Tan looks fab btw! X
also, what's your nail polish?
It seems that your love of Ann Semonin Eye Cream has wafted away. As I am easily influenced, and you were so full of enthusiasm over its magical
properties, I remortgaged my house and ordered two. I intended to order only one but my fingers didn’t listen to my brain. Can I tell whether it has worked its magic? But it’s impossible to say what my eyes would look like now, if I wasn’t.
No, not at all - still my most-used eye cream, despite the shocking price tag! But always looking for alternatives to things. Especially if they are v expensive. x
Ruth Crilly
Phew! I thought that your enthusiasm might have waned.
Nope! Though would LOVE to find a cheaper one to recommend! : )
How can we be bored with you Ruth, your are amazing
And did you know crying helps relieve stress?
Does it? I shall remember that x
Sorry but another question. I love Isle of Paradise drops, but what do I do to prevent my face looking like an Army Combat Jacket after using retinol, or glycolic acid the following night?
Does that happen? I don't find that it does with me! But I only ever use graduals, so maybe that's why? x
Ruth Crilly
I’m certainly not hardcore but I do have some hyper-pigmentation, which could be a contributory factor. By the way I love your lightly tanned skin. Keep it up for the summer.
It may help to add aloe vera as a moisturising step after retinols/acids. I don't know why it helps, but I find that my skin looks better when I use it with my usual moisturiser after retinol.
HMM, I shall keep on experimenting and see if anything happens with streaking or patching! x
Ruth Crilly
You look lovely, so don’t risk it.
I am off to Portugal where there is a Sephora. Is there anything you would suggest to look at there, which is unavailable here? Will be with family so my spending is likely to be more retrained than if I was on my own. Lol
I stayed to the end because I think you’re the best! However skin care is confusing af. I’m going to have to figure this out I guess. 🤷♀️
If only my tanning accidents looked so gorgeous! 😂
I think people tend to over cleanse the face these days. If you've done a thorough cleanse in the evening, then all you would really need to do in the morning is rinse with water.
I loved this! Thanks :)
so can I use reitnol on its own without an oil or moisturiser?
If your skin is oily or normal, yes. I have oily skin and only use a retinol lotion at night, that is enough moisture for me.
'Marketing bollocks really'.... 😆😆👍🙈 best reviewer EVER !! Say what you mean Ruth haha luv ya!👍😘
LOL thank you x
Oh Ruth i have been following you for more than 6 years now and one thing you are not - A boring bitch :D And this comes from a 25 years old girl :) You are amazing and honestly i could listen to you for hours, the way you talk and present and explain is wonderful :)
You look gorgeous and glowing
I live for your rattan chair, it's envy inducing
Thank you x
you look beautiful and radiant 😉
