hey guys max here again and today i
wanted to talk to you about
skin care yes i am going the beauty guru
route
this is uh going to be a little bit of a
sponsored video but i wanted to relate
it to my own
skin care journey especially being like
half japanese
uh i think i feel like having mixed skin
makes things a little bit tougher when
you have to like make selections for
skin care this might just be me i don't
know but if you can relate to this if
you're also a mixed person
if you can kind of relate a little bit
to the skin care journey
uh please let me know in the comments
below let me just give you a little bit
of an introduction i started
having bad acne when i was like maybe 12
or 13
and it was like it was pretty bad i
tried all sorts of stuff i tried natural
stuff to
fix it i tried proactive and if you
remember back in like the early 2000s
proactive those commercials
made proactive look like this miracle
thing that would fix your skin and all
this stuff and really
it was probably just good marketing
that's why i use proactive
because there's no way i'm going to let
a bunch of zits get in my way want acne
out of your life
join justin use proactive and get
control over those zips
over the course of my youth to now i'm
30 now men's skin care has kind of been
like sometimes looked down upon and but
now it's like kind of becoming more cool
with even pharrell going on vogue's
youtube channel and sharing his own skin
care routine so hey having men's
skincare is okay
now i used to be made fun of by my
ex-roommate for having all sorts of
skincare
and he would be like are you a freaking
girl man and actually like
i need this because my skin is very
sensitive to stuff
anyway i've tried a bunch of skin care
products from the us including
you know all the stuff that you can find
over the counter like i think neutrogena
benzoyl peroxide also clean and clear
benzoyl peroxide
basically i found out benzo peroxide is
a great way to hold down your acne
but i've also started experimenting with
korean products
and now japanese products recently i
will talk a little bit more about this
later but
it is a made in japan product and uh it
is a moisturizer that i've added into my
skincare routine that i'll be showing
you a little bit later but
i'm just kind of giving you this little
bit of information because i didn't
really have a lot of information
as you know like having asian skin i
feel like in the us
it's definitely different than having
like a white person skin or black
person's skin
so coming to japan i was able to
experiment a little bit more with like
masks and things like that and if you go
into a japanese drugstore there's so
many options for skin
care and a lot of them it's really hard
to tell what you need to get i say
experiment with it if you want japanese
skincare products is pretty good but
let me just give you what i do real
quick and i'll show you
in the bathroom i'll actually do my
skincare routine for you guys
the first thing i do is this is a korean
brand this
is called herb day 365 master blending
it's
peach it's from the face shop pretty
sure it's made in korea yeah there's a
bunch of korean writing on there
so this is just a very nice foam
cleanser after that
sometimes i use a toner sometimes i
don't but
if i don't use a toner i go straight to
acne.org
benzo peroxide this is 2.5 percent and
actually
i went to a skin care they're called
hifuka here a skin care clinic in japan
and they actually
were kind of surprised that you can get
benzoyl peroxide over the counter in the
u.s like you can order this online i
told her like you can even get like 10
benzo peroxide and she was like
in america so she was a little bit
shocked like benzo peroxide
is kind of a strong thing that usually
it's only prescribed in japan so
anyway i showed her this and she was
like okay that's cool
like this like opens up your pores she
said and uh
she actually recommended to put this on
which i'll get to in a second but uh
after your benzo
peroxide for what i do is i put on this
moisturizer
uh i was using vitamin e claire's this
is also korean
so actually i've recently replaced this
with this product
i would ship this to try it out and it
actually is a great replacement
for the other one i was using you can
buy this online but it is supposed to
kind of help with
wrinkles and blemishes and i'll show you
in the bathroom in a second and here's
the last one that i added recently
thanks to my
skin care doctor it's called zeviax
lotion which has
ozeno ki sashin uh it says two percent
there's 10 grams this is
only doctor prescribed but in japan it's
like super cheap because of healthcare
so i think i've only paid like
10 which is like a thousand yen for this
this is something that has really
smoothed out my skin i've noticed
anyway all this stuff together really
has helped me so
let's go to the bathroom and i'll put
this on for you i guess and we're in the
bathroom
cue the music because i'm about to start
washing my face
uh also shout out to the one piece store
look at this this is a
merch from one piece if you know this
character it's aokiji but
uh awesome shirt i want to start washing
my face now everybody so
let's go ahead and do that first thing i
do is
wash with this this is the korean face
wash
lather up and
like so pretty simple
you don't want to rub too hard when you
wash your face and just pat your face
dry
and next i'm actually going to do this i
know i didn't introduce it earlier but
this is a toner
called aldena organic and i do put this
on just like that
one pump and that's it just rub it on
and once you're done with this i move
straight on to
benzo peroxide i know you're probably
supposed to wait a little bit for it to
dry but
no one has time for that come on ain't
nobody got time for that so you put like
a little bit like this
you try not to put too much but uh you
can be generous with it since it's 2.5
and i just put it on like this and this
is supposed to kind of fight
pimples and stuff like that i just wipe
it on my hands after i'm done because
i'm lazy
who knows you know you might get pimples
on your arms and who knows second to
last step is the moisturizer which is
what i got recently which is sasha
omu very nice packaging as you can see
like very modern this is
i should clarify that this is a men's
moisturizer but it is
looked at and supervised by doctors
by skin care doctors to make this gel so
it is a very cool thing
that they have that so you can see
inside it's white
uh kind of like a gel jellish type uh
consistency
and i should also mention this just came
out last november so this is a pretty
new product and you can buy it on
ducktin
you guys can find out where you buy it
uh whether you're in the us or whether
you live in japan you can still order
this
international so that's a good thing so
i did put it in the box but
just to be clear i have used this like
four times maybe five times and
i like it because it doesn't really
stick like you know some moisturizers
has like this weird sticky grimy
consistency this one doesn't have that
and it smells nice ooh it smells like
i think herbs i think is what the the
main idea that they were going for here
and basically um i'm only going to put
about this much on but
it is supposed to help with like i said
wrinkles and blemishes so
uh you know you put it on like this and
just generously put it on
done easy men's skin care what an easy
thing right
now going to the last product which is
this
this is called xebiax lotion
xevia i think and it actually has oh my
gosh i forgot the name of this
ozeno zasin this is a new and effective
and safe
topical treatment for uh basically acne
it
it actually kind of like clears the
bacteria in your skin
so it's kind of like the last thing
that's supposed to do benzo peroxide
apparently
kind of like opens up your pores and
cleans them but this like actually goes
in
and kills the bacteria so recommend
getting something like this
if you can in the us and if you know you
live in japan
definitely get this it has made my skin
smoother i still struggle with skin
stuff like let's be honest but
uh this has been a big improvement i've
noticed at least
when i do it consistently sometimes i'll
be honest i'm pretty lazy
and maybe skip my skincare routine but
like i said that's my whole skincare
routine if you like watching this video
let me know
and maybe i'll do more stuff on like how
japan's like skin care products
are but make sure to check out this
brand which is sasha lo omu
they're very nice to send this to me and
you know i use it and i actually like it
and it's part of my regimen now
so definitely check them out links will
all be in the description if you have
any questions about skin care if you're
like half japanese and
are struggling with skin care i'll try
to be of help
as much as i can if you like the video
