It's all about putting your best face forward. Let's do this
What's up socials welcome back to Amy TV
I just wanted to have a little bit of a relaxed video with you today, and as usual
I'm in the office, but I really didn't put clothes on for you today, so you're welcome. You might remember a few weeks ago
I did a camera-ready makeup routine
And I could not believe how much you guys loved that one the number of
Comments and likes and everything that was going on. It's so cool that that was helpful for you
I'm so glad to help, but that also kind of spun off into another conversation about skin care
And how important that that is for you? I take it, so seriously somebody basically scared the pants off of me well
That's not true. They didn't scare the pants off of me, but that if you sleep with your makeup on for one night
You age yourself eight days. Oh my gosh
I do not want to age my face eight days by simply being too lazy to wash my makeup off
That is so disgusting
But it makes so much sense
Because it's really important to give your skin what it needs in order to sort of
Rehabilitate itself and come back fresher and better the next day when it's kind of healing
From all the crap that you put it through during the day whether it's just environment sunshine
Makeup all of the above only some of the above for me
I don't interact with the Sun very often
So I thought I would walk you through my skincare routine
That I do in order to kind of make sure that I always have a fresh canvas to put makeup on or to
Go to meetings with everyday feeling my like my best self as often as possible because you can't prevent breakouts
They happen when you eat something
That's not right or whatever, but if you really do stay in a good flow of taking care of your skin
You can usually bounce back from that stuff pretty easily
I'm gonna sort of chat with you here the things that I do, but I'm also gonna show you what I'm doing in the bathroom
Because I felt like it would just be weird for me to just talk you through it here
So I did bring the camera into the bathroom with me for both my nighttime
And my morning routine before we dig in make sure you subscribe to this channel and make new videos every Wednesday and Sunday
I've been trying to publish them about four or five o'clock Eastern because that's what's worked for me in my daily routines
And I'm curious if you are subscribed already if this type of video
You know we don't usually do Beauty if you're going to subscribe and you're like
Oh, is this a beauty channel, not usually doing Beauty here
It's a lot of going after the life you want
But I do think wellness plays a role in that so I'm curious to hear if you're an existing subscriber
You know do you want to see more of this type of thing in the future? Do you find it useful?
Do you think it applies to the conversation that we have I'm really just trying some things out
And I would love your feedback in the comments below all right
So I'm actually gonna start with the nighttime routine
because I think this is the most important for every single person like I said if you do nothing else do a nighttime routine the
First product that I use like the moment I go into the bathroom
I grab a washcloth and I grab my cleansing balm, and the cleansing balm is from Clinique. It's called take the day off
I
Think this is gonna answer a lot of questions for people who are like how do you take all of that makeup you put on?
Off from the makeup tutorial that we did a little while ago, don't worry I get all of it off
It just does such an incredible job of taking all the makeup off it takes my mascara off it takes everything off
So I don't even use any of the other oils or anything to remove makeup
I use nothing but the cleansing balm
And then I will wet that coarse washcloth and really use it to scrape a lot of this stuff off of my face
I like to have cream colored washcloths because I want to see the gunk come off my face in real time
I want to know if there's anything left at any moment
So I'm using every corner of that washcloth to get everything next it's time to actually clean the face now that we broke ground
My cleanser is from Kate Somerville
It is called the exfolikate cleanser daily foaming wash and again
I just sort of rub this all over and really clean as much as I can
I'm usually like dunking my head and the sink and like washing everything off in terms of the cleanser or any remaining makeup and then
I will grab a clean washcloth to sort of pat dry and check for any additional makeup spots that might still be there
but ideally they're gone at this point and I try not to wipe water off of my face because I know my
Face needs water it needs moisture, so why not have actual water to sort of set things off
So just pat dry so it's not completely bone dry
After I wash my face after that I like to do a toner the one I'm showing you here is the Andaluz
1000 roses floral toner and toner is just really gonna help you with pH balance
I like to spritz this all over my face all over my decollete and
This really has nice ingredients that are gonna refresh and just moisturize
And it just feels amazing to do something like this to your face like spritzing something on your face
I will make the excuse to do that all the time
I'm the girl sitting next to you on the plane spritzing her face. Okay with an SPF a makeup set and
moisturizing spray
Three in one and I only had to spritz myself twice. I'm sorry if I got it on you after the toner
I want to do an oil that oil is gonna
Be really good for my dry skin the one I use is a little bit pricey, but it is so insanely amazing
I'm obsessed with this is the Sunday Riley Luna sleeping night oil
This is a retinoid oil, so you need to know when you're sort of getting into the retinols and putting that on your face
But that's gonna do an amazing job of sort of like
Healing the skin overnight to reduce the appearance of pores
Wrinkles any aging prevention that happens and also prevent surface redness, which you'll probably notice
I deal a lot with I have sort of blood that collects in different places of my face specifically my nose and
areas of my cheeks so
Nothing really I can do about that
But I don't want any additional redness to happen so I really love this oil for that after I put an oil on
Curveball I do a little bit of facial massage, and this is great because sometimes we eat things or do things that make
Inflammation build up in the body and this can happen in the face
And it can get really like puffy and gross and quite frankly that sounds
Terrible so I have a little Jade Roller that I bought on Amazon. I'm totally obsessed with it
It is an actual jade stone, and it really cools the face and you're really massaging that inflammation out of the face
It's gonna promote blood flow skin renewal
I usually go in upward motions because no I'm not trying to drag anything down on my face
Gravity's doing a good enough job of that and I'll use the small side just to go underneath the eyes
Just very carefully you really don't want to do this for more than five or ten minutes
I usually don't have the patience to even do that I'll just do it for a couple minutes and be done
But make sure that when you are doing this you're not only going in upward motions
But then you're going down the neck and moving whatever
Inflammation you're trying to get out of your face out of your body completely by sending it down
You don't want it to go up toward your head it can probably cause like a headache and bad things happening
You're really not sending it anywhere out of your face if it's just going up to your head
So really just push it down use that Jade roller to your neck. It's really nice
It feels amazing on every area of the face, so yeah, I highly recommend you give this a try
I don't recommend traveling with the Jade Roller. It's just easily breakable
I've never taken it anywhere with me, but it's definitely good to have at home next the all-important
And oh my gosh everyone needs to do this if absolutely nothing else I cream you'll notice. I'm using the it cosmetics
Bye, bye under-eye. This is so important no matter how old you are to use an eye cream
You can pick the one you like the best. I love it cosmetics
They make the most amazing stuff if you do nothing else if you're in your 20s
And you're listening to me right now listen to me right now use eye cream
I promise you if you still want to be carded when you're my age
You'll be happy used eye cream once or twice a day for your entire life
I promise you that I never ever ever ever rub eye cream on because
Again the eyes are creeping on their own
We do not need
swiping motions to help with that so I usually use my ring finger and tap it on just tap it on until it's absorbed and
It needs some more time to absorb so now
I'm gonna kind of give my skin a two-minute break
so that that eye cream can really set in the oil can start to set in and I'm gonna brush my teeth and something I
Do before I brush my teeth is tongues great. This is probably my new favorite thing in the whole world
I'm telling everyone I went to a bachelorette party and everybody ended up buying tongue scrapers after that I left
It was kind of hilarious
But this is the most amazing thing we have so much
Bacteria that sort of sits on the back of our tongue
And this scraper you don't have to do it for many times, and you don't have to do it roughly
But you just sort of watch this like white phlegm come off of your tongue
And is just sitting there always and it's so disgusting and just get that out of your system, and then brush your teeth
And you're really
Really getting to the bacteria you can't scrape off your tongue when you're brushing your teeth because it's obviously on your teeth so
Anyway, I really really love the tongue scraping thing and is a life
Changer and I think you're really really gonna
Enjoy it if you do decide to pick up that habit because I got been into it
And he's just like he loves it. He loves the moisturizer that I'm using as my night cream at the moment is the dr.
Dennis gross hyaluronic marine oil-free moisture can and you can actually use this cream twice a day
I just happen to be using it as my night cream at this point and its really nice because it does have that
hyaluronic acid in it hyaluronic acid if you don't know has the ability to hold an
insane
Amount of moisture a thousand times its weight in in water is what it can hold one of the last things
I do is put a lip sleeping mask on my face and this is from Laneige
I don't know how to say it I found it in the Sephora
Check out one of those things that they want you to buy before you're really trying to get out of there
And I absolutely love it ironically it says to wipe off any excess in the morning
I never have excess and that's because I'm in dire need of moisture
But I swear to you my lips have been in absolutely incredible condition
Since I started using this mask I feel like I don't need lip balm quite as often
I'm not drying out quite as often so I highly recommend a lip mask when you're going to sleep
And now I'm ready for bed yay
Oh my god, this feels so amazing to go to sleep like that so I mean now let's talk about my morning routine
I cannot move on with my day without taking care of my face first
Literally it is so
Important I haven't been cleansing every morning
I kind of want a lot of those products that I slept in overnight to continue to work
They're really not bad, so I'm not trying to like start completely fresh in the morning
but I do need to splash my face and get the gunk out of my eyes cuz that's just disgusting if it is a
Cleansing day. It's an exfoliating day in the morning so twice a week. I will use an exfoliant and that is the Kate, Somerville
exfoliate intensive exfoliating treatment
And this is basically really
Nice for sort of refreshing the skin you're gonna work it in and then leave it on for a couple of minutes and then rinse
It off definitely important to be exfoliating on a regular basis, and I absolutely love this for that
I'd like to change it up in the morning with my toner and so this time
I'm going to use the Aveda botanical kinetics skin toning agent
I love this one just because it's so soothing and it smells
Incredible so nice little little spritz in the morning after the toner
I like to use a serum so my vitamin C. Serum is by dr. Dennis gross. It's the c+ collagen serum
this is gonna do a lot of things it's gonna brighten smooth boosts the skin energy and
Anything vitamin C in my opinion just smells amazing, so I'm all about that first thing in the morning guess what's next I cream
Back to the it cosmetics bye bye under-eye because always eye cream always and you're gonna need that two-minute break
So we're gonna scrape the tongue, which is so incredible in the morning
I swear if you were like I hate brushing my teeth which you shouldn't you should always brush your teeth
But if you didn't which I always do
But if you didn't use that tongue scraper in the morning
And I tell you what if you kiss your significant other they will be so much less grossed out by your morning breath
so much less
Speaking from experience now that all that's taken care of we're gonna do the daily moisturizer I could use what I did overnight
But I actually really love and prefer to use the Clinique
dramatically different moisturizing lotion
This is just my all-time favorite. My skin just sucks up this moisturizer so fast in it
I mean it makes my skin a
Totally perfect palette for whatever's next whether it's makeup or a CC cream or something like that
But first the all important thing and that is sunscreen here
I'm using the RepLennox antioxidant sunscreen moisturizer in SPF 50 plus this stuff is an
Amazing sunscreen because it's also a moisturizer it is also
Caffeinated with green tea so that's amazing for keeping that skin alive keeping it very supple
And I just absolutely love that sort of to top everything else off
Fifty-plus always always always always make sure that you have 50-plus SPF
Your face, and now I'm ready for the day probably gonna put makeup on real quick that is my skin care regimen
Hopefully you enjoyed it to me again. This is like meditation. I love to just do these steps every day
I feel like I'm taking care of myself
I feel like I'm setting my day up for success or setting my sleep up for success and that's another thing
Always keep in mind that if you're not getting enough sleep
You can't put enough product on your face in the world
To prevent the crap that losing sleep causes so make sure you take care of that and I'd love to hear from you
