And this was my outfit today.
It is the perfect dress for the end of summer.
So now it's time to get unready.
The first thing I use it, I try to use
one makeup wipe, just to get the surface level
make up off of my face.
I've tried so many different brands of makeup wipes
and for some reason they always
burn my skin and my eyes.
Woah, that's a lot of makeup.
but this is the only brand that
doesn't irritate my skin
and it smells really nice too, it's got this nice apricot smell.
So the next two things, I normally do in
the shower but right now I'm going to use them over the
sink, sometimes I do especially if I'm traveling.
The first thing I'm using is the Biossance Cleansing Oil.
I used to usually two pumps of this
and this really just helps break up the excess
makeup that I have on my face.
And it feels really weird, especially as some that is
prone to breakouts, to rub oil
all into your skin but
I found this about 6 months ago
and it just does wonders for my skin.
It's soothing,
it's moisturizing, and it doesn't break me out which is awesome.
You see this, this is how you get a boyfriend.
I do not go to bed without taking my makeup off
and this is an every night things no matter what
even if I don't have mascara on, I use it to
break up the makeup on my face.
So then I'm just gonna take my wash cloth
get the water pretty warm.
Then I'm just gonna wipe off all the excess.
Try not to wipe too hard
because I don't want to be super harsh on my skin.
Three times a week, I like to do an exfoliation.
So I use the Boscia Detoxifying
Black Cleanser and I use it with my Phillips brush.
I like to use this to really clean out my pores.
So this facewash is
warming
So when you put it on your skin it's got a little bit of heat to it.
It just gives you more of an even skin tone and
it gets all of the dead skin cells off
and it really helps clear out your pores.
And it also helps
your oils sink in, into your skin.
It almost like after you exfoliate your
skin just drinks up your oils
so I can really tell-
So I can really tell a difference after I use this.
Then I'm just gonna
gently pat it off.
This is something I normally do in the shower
which is why its running all down my body right now
so I'm kind of getting a really nice cleanse
all over my chest area.
So then I'm going to use my Thayers Witch Hazel Toner.
I've been using this exact toner for
six years now
and people with acne prone skin
I feel like get a lot of benefit out of toner.
It helps rebalance the Ph levels in your skin.
It really gives you like a nice
fresh, clean slate.
So I use my toner twice a day.
I use it in the morning and then I use it at night
before I go to bed.
And then you just let this dry
maybe for about like 3 minutes. I would just let it dry.
You don't want to pat this down or wipe it off.
Just let it dry.
You can fan yourself if you want to.
I need one of those fans that you flip open.
I feel like that would be way more fancy
but we're gonna do this for right now.
So next I'm gonna use my Caudalie eye cream
and I think you're supposed to put on your eye cream
toward the end of your routine but I always find that
I don't want extra products on my fingers when I'm
touching around my eyes 'cause like I said
the skin around my eyes is so sensitive
that I like to do this first.
So I realized this
when I tried Retinol for the first time
and I put Retinol on my face
and then I used my eye cream afterwards and
I ended up getting Retinol all around my eyes
which you guys know is a
complete no-no and
I was peeling around my eyes so bad for the next three days.
So I learned my lesson. I was like "I'm just gonna
gonna do my eye cream first."
So next I'm using two different serums.
I am using the Drunk Elephant C Serum
and then I'm using the Eminence Licorice Root Serum.
Vitamin C actually stimulates
collagen reproduction in your face.
It helps fight wrinkles.
It helps to really restore elasticity to your skin.
So I actually put this on my face, neck, and my chest twice a day.
So the interesting thing about this vitamin C is
that it stays on your skin for up to 72 hours.
you can't wash it off.
Which is really good to know that it's gonna
be staying with me all day.
And I always pat my serums in
and I always go up because
fun fact your pores actually face down
so when you go up like this it makes it easier to
sink in.
Sink in? Soak in? I think both work into your pores.
Next I'm gonna use the Eminence
Bright Skin Licorice Root.
And I actually get this on Amazon
and what licorice root does
is that it brightens up your skin
and I have a few different sun spots
that I just get certain times a year.
Obviously in the summer when I'm exposed to the sun
so I just out this on my problem areas
so with this product, a little bit goes
a really long way so I just do
one drop on my forehead.
It's almost like a gooey
gooey product.
then I just pat it in.
This is something that I only use during
the summer time because these sun spots
literally go away as soon as october comes
they're just like, "Bye, see you next year."
and I just have to be okay with it.
Some people actually have sunspots all year round
so if you are one of those people, this is great product to
use all year if you know you're
gonna be out in the sun.
I definitely reccomend using this, up to two weeks
in advance just so you have that preventative
measure of the sun spot.
The next product I'm going to use is my
Youth to the People Super Food Age Prevention Moisturizing Cream.
This actually has hyaluronic acid in it and
I am prone to breakouts so
if I have a breakout the hyaluronic acid
really helps kind of tone it down
and heal it really really quickly.
This product feels really nice,
really smooth and it's actually
cooling, I'm assuming because of the aloe
but it actually feel just like an ice pack on my face
which also helps
swelling or any puffiness that you might have.
This almost like the perfect mixture or a moisturizer
and a gel
so it's not so heavy on my face so this
is my go-to moisturizer.
Next I'm using my
very loved
Dr. Jart+ Tiger Grass Cream.
This is my winter time moisturizer
but if you have dry skin or you
have dry patches, this is
a great product for that.
So like I said before, my skin is
terrified of heavy moisturizer and this is
very heavy so this only goes on my dry areas
which is alwasy around my nose.
I've just come to terms with living with dry skin around my nose.
This really really does help.
So this isn't an every night
type of thing.
This is only if I haven't been drinking enough water
or if I've been traveling or if
i ahve for some reason extra dry skin around my nose
or just anywhere on my face,
I'll grab this and dab it on and it's gone the next day.
So the second to last step is
spot treatment and I actually have two
depending on how
progressed the spot is.
So I have my turmeric
spot treatment by CocoKind Collective
and this is if the spot really isn't that bad,
it's just kind of coming along and I know I can
zap it quickly.
Turmeric is actually an anti-inflammatory
which I think it tames down
the pimple so it usually goes away over night.
It actually just goes directly on the spot.
I will say it is very orange on your skin.
You aren't supposed to sleep in it, it will stain your pillowcase.
You have to remember to take it off.
So I'm just gonna dab it a little bit right here
and it makes it look like you have a really nice yellow bruise on your face.
So I would leave this on for about 20 minutes.
That's what it says.
I mean you can obviously leave it a little bit longer.
If you forget about it, it's not a big deal.
And then this tea tree oil is my
number one pimple fighting item that I have.
You just dilute this in water,
put it on your pimple and it will be gone the next day.
This is for when I have something that's really coming in
and I know it's gonna be serious and really mean.
I put this on and it's usually gone over night.
So now that 20 minutes have gone by, I'm going to take
take off my turmeric spot treatment with
just my regular wash cloth
and you want to make sure you're not taking off all the products.
So you want to take it off gently
and make sure you're not getting all of your skin.
There you go.
And lastly, if lip care.
I, like a lot of people I think, sleep with a fan on
and my air conditioner turned down
so I have to make sure that I'm taking care of my lips
so they aren't super chapped when I wake up the next morning
and this Laneige Sleeping Mask is
one of my favorite products.
I put this on every single night.
Even if my lips aren't chapped, it's a preventative thing
so I wake up with really smooth lips.
This product is a little pricey
but I've had this for
six months now
and as you can see I mean it
still isn't even half way done.
You just need a little bit.
And one quick tip is that I like to use a silk pillowcase.
I started using it a couple of years ago
and it is good to change them out, like sub-tip.
But I like it because bacteria doesn't build up
as quickly and as easily as it does on a regular
cotton pillowcase
so for people with acne prone skin like myself
it does make a huge difference.
And also, it helps with your hair as well.
I have really naturally curly hair.
I find that when I sleep on a cotton pillowcase
I wake up and I've got so many tangles
and it's just not good for your hair.
Then when I sleep on a silk pillowcase I wake up
and my hair is smoother and way easier to brush.
Alright so that is my nightly routine.
I am going to make some tea, grab a book, get in bed.
Thanks for watching!
