- Hi, it's time to get unready with me.
So the first step in my routine
is obviously to cleanse my face.
I like to use this Colbert MD Balance Purifying cleanser.
Dr. Colbert's my dermatologist and he has his own line
which is amazing.
The reason that I love this cleanser is because it's a gel
and it really helps even out your skin.
I feel like it's really cleansing.
So first, I wet my face
and then I get maybe a pea sized amount in my hands.
And I just like to massage this into the skin
and really cleanse.
So, growing up, I definitely think
that I had more combination skin.
It was definitely very oily in my T-zone
but kind of normal everywhere else.
I went on Accutane for a year.
That was about four years ago.
And that was really, really hard on my skin.
So my skin's definitely a lot more dry now
because it really dries out your skin.
I have really bad cystic acne
so I'm always looking for really nice ways to prevent that.
(water running)
One of the best secrets to drying your face
is just to pat.
And I feel like this really just helps prevent wrinkles.
Not that I have to worry about that any time soon.
So while my skin's still a little bit damp,
I like to use these Colbert MD Tone Control discs.
And so, basically, my dermatologist has this facial.
It's called the Triad facial.
And it has a microdermabrasion element to it.
And he created these products just to kind of mimic
that facial, which is really nice.
So this, you just rub in circular motions on your skin.
And it really helps balance your skin.
It also smells really nice.
And this helps just brighten and lift those scars.
So, that's really nice and convenient for me.
It's why I always wear sunscreen.
So they don't get any darker.
I always like to use
whatever product I'm using on my face on my neck.
I feel like all skin is important,
so you can't miss out on any parts.
Even your neck.
So the next thing I use is this chemical exfoliant.
And this is the P50 lotion, 1970.
There's different versions.
I went to a facialist who specializes in these products
and she recommended this one for me.
I just pat it onto my skin.
And I really feel like this helped a lot with,
not necessarily my acne
but definitely just the texture of my skin.
It really evened out the texture.
I used to have really clogged pores in my T-zone,
and I think that this definitely helped a lot with that
which is really nice.
The only thing that is kind of hard to get over,
I'm used to it now,
but in the beginning is the smell.
'Cause it smells terrible.
So after the P50 lotion, I've really been enjoying
this leave-in mask, overnight mask.
And it's from Origins.
I love that this has hyaluronic acid in it.
One thing that I definitely learned recently
was the difference between
hydrating and moisturizing your skin.
So, some things are obviously gonna give you
that glowy effect when you moisturize,
but the actual hydration
and feeling your skin isn't necessarily dry or tight
is gonna come from different kinds of things
like hyaluronic acid.
And so it's really important
to have that in your moisturizer.
So I just take some of this and I actually like to mix it
with tea tree oil.
And I love DoTerra essential oils
because they're the purest you're gonna find.
And I love tea tree oil just to prevent any breakouts
in my skin, or as you can see I have one now,
and it just gets rid of it practically overnight.
Definitely minimizes the appearance.
And I actually really love the smell of tea tree oil.
If you're into scents like I am,
get yourself some tea tree oil.
So, one thing that's really important to me
when I moisturize is massaging this in.
And I do this V-shape with my hands.
And just get underneath my cheek bones
and then also lifting my eyes, very gently.
But it really feels nice at night.
One of my favorite things about getting my makeup done
is when they prep your skin they give you a nice massage
if you look at makeup artists.
And I like to implement that into my routine,
just those 30 seconds of self-care.
And it also makes your face look really nice in the morning,
if you get really puffy, doing this before you go to bed.
It's such a treat.
So the next step in my skin care routine
is just because you moisturize your face,
you cannot forget your lips.
And I love this Laneige sleeping mask.
And this is the vanilla scent,
but this is really thick and hydrating.
And I love using this at night 'cause you wake up
and you have the softest lips ever.
Like I said, being on Accutane really dries your skin out
and I'm still feeling the side effects of it,
four years later.
So, hydration is important.
One thing about being a model that was really hard for me,
especially in the beginning.
I started when I was 17 years old,
so I definitely had my fair share of dealing with acne
and cystic acne is the absolute worst
because it's under the skin.
It's really painful.
And I really like to keep a very minimal approach
to my skin care routine
because I feel like less is definitely more,
in the sense that you're gonna get most benefits
when you're not stripping your skin
or using too many things that aren't really helping.
I think that the most minimal approach is the best.
But one thing that I've just really learned to embrace,
is the fact that acne's normal.
It doesn't make you any less beautiful.
And I think there's such a stigma about covering up acne
or getting rid of it.
That's not healthy, it's not a good way to think
and you have to just understand that it's your body.
It's not something
that you should really feel ashamed about.
So, on top of hydrating my face, my lips,
I also like to hydrate my hands at night.
I hate waking up with dry hands
and I also hate the way that it looks.
So, it's definitely really important
just to cover all the skin on your body
and take care of all of it.
I always feel like I invest so much
in my facial skin care routines,
that it's important to also remember about your body
and it takes whatever you're putting into it
and putting on it.
So it's really important to remind yourself of that.
And lastly, one thing that I also like to do
which is a little weird.
I don't know if everyone does this.
But I love applying perfume at night
because I like the way that it smells,
especially in bed and in your sheets.
When you're rolling around, you wake up
and you still smell like, whatever your favorite scent is.
This is from a boutique on Crosby street called Frasia 1833.
And I love this scent.
It just smells so good.
And another thing that helps me reflect on the day
and put me in a good mood for tomorrow,
is I love to write in my journal,
10 things that I'm grateful for that day.
And I really like to take a moment
to make them different every day
and really reflect on 10 specific moments
that really just made me grateful and made me appreciate it.
That I feel like taking those steps at night
and before your next day,
really put you in a positive mindset
and really allow you to decompress.
So, I'm gonna do that now.
Thank you so much for watching.
