- Oh, hey, what up?
I'm Dorion Renaud.
And today, I'm waking up with ELLE.
So one of the first things I like to do when I wake up
is light a candle.
I love the aromas and smelling good in the morning
and I like my room to smell good and fresh.
So I like to light a candle.
I don't know what it is about like a freshly lit candle
in the morning, but it really get my day going.
The aroma is, ah, so good.
I like to start my day off with peace
so I usually read my daily devotional.
This keeps me from saying things that I shouldn't say
and starting my day with a real intention.
And so if I don't read this every day,
something can go wrong (laughs).
After I read my daily devotional,
I like to get up and wash my face
with my Buttah skincare products.
So the next and most important step of my morning
is washing my face with my Buttah skincare kit.
And I like to keep it easy and simple and efficient.
So I start off with my Gentle Cleanser
which is really amazing.
And I like to use my Vibe Brush
so I can really, like, wake my face up,
get those pulsations in my face,
get the blood flowing and really get a deep cleanse.
(water rushing)
I love this brush because it really wakes you up
in the morning, helps you with those fine lines, wrinkles,
the puffiness, and really cleanses in a gentle way.
I do it all over my face, feels so good.
Sometimes this can be a little addicting
because it feels so good in the morning.
So after I wash my face with my Vibe Brush,
I usually like to give myself a nice splash of water
so I can really wake myself up.
Sometimes I have extremely long days.
Starting my face by washing it really cleanses it,
makes me feel good, wakes me up.
There's step number one in my routine.
Next up, I like to use the Vitamin C Serum,
which I like to call magic in a bottle.
This is absolutely amazing.
It helps with hyperpigmentation.
It helps with evenness on your skin.
Really the trick to my Buttah glow.
So I rub that all over my face gently like so.
And you can really feel the vitamins going into your skin.
And I think as a man, you know,
we want a routine that's easy and simple and efficient.
I think that's what we do here at Buttah.
There's the glow coming in, there's Dorion Renaud.
I like to say I do not turn into Dorion Renaud
until I put my Buttah on and I feel a glow.
Prior to that, I'm just country old Dorion.
So the next step in my skincare routine,
which is probably the most important, is to moisturize.
You have to moisturize probably once to twice a day,
especially like in these winter months.
And this CocoShea is thick enough,
so a little goes a long way.
I put in the palm of my hands, rub it.
My makeup artist has this trick where he massages your face
before he puts the makeup on with my CocoShea
and it's probably my favorite part of this routine,
is really getting that moisture locked in.
There you have it.
Let's glow on the go.
I have a busy day and this was easy, simple
with my Buttah skincare routine.
So after I wash my face and I have a nice, healthy glow,
it is imperative that I put on
old school R&B in the morning.
I really like to listen to music that feeds my soul.
People like Toni Braxton, Brandy, Boyz II Men,
that really gets me going and it makes me feel
all warm inside and powerful.
R&B start your day like that.
(upbeat music)
So the next thing I like to do in the morning
on a day like this in New York where I have press,
is meet with my team to discuss my schedule
and all of our initiatives for the day.
We have our Macy's opening in Brooklyn.
We have to go through the community list,
make sure we have everything going.
It's a lot but we have to do it
because everybody's showing up.
(all laughing)
This is it, we're at the final stretch.
- Get some coffee on the way.
- We need some coffee. - [Woman] Yes, okay.
(all laughing)
I'm proud of us, I could not do this without y'all,
like, it a big mess to make me look perfect
and make this thing perfect, but we really do it.
High five, we had a great week.
- [Woman] Yes, we're a great team.
- Yes. Yes.
Well, I need to like go get myself together for press.
- [Woman] Yes. - Go get it together.
(Dorion sighs)
- All right, ELLE, look,
it's been an honor spending my morning with you,
but unfortunately I have to go
because I have a long day of press.
Peace, love, and remember, it's Buttah, baby.
