- I mean it feels, ah, too close to the eye.
(lively music)
Today we are going to try and make our own skin care
out of things you can find pretty much at any store.
I don't know anything about making stuff,
so I have Mercedes here to help me from the Goodful Team.
- Goodful is a lifestyle brand and we are reinventing
health and wellness by helping and inspiring others
to live a more health conscious life.
Check it out.
- You know how sometimes it'll be like,
this definitely works, and you're like, okay.
But how can you really tell if something
is actually working on your face?
- Exactly, sometimes I feel like I just need to take
a break from what I'm using to see if what I'm using
actually makes a difference.
- You know, is this a good way to save money?
If I just made my own skin care from things
that I have anyway, would I be saving money?
I'm not sure.
Do you have any worries about doing this?
- I'm afraid it's not gonna do a good job
of getting rid of the oiliness.
But we'll just have to see.
- In the caverns of your face where the secrets hide,
that's where I get clogged bits.
- Yeah.
- That's what I'm concerned about.

- All right.
- Oh!
(laughing)
We've made face wash.
- So this is for two weeks.
- I think this'll last for two weeks.
- I think it will too.
I'm just a little concerned about how it's gonna come out
but we're gonna try it.
(lively music)
- Are you cool with putting that on your face?
- I feel like it'll be okay, right.
(lively music)
It smells like apple wine, but bad.
(lively music)
- Carefully.
- Oh God, I'm so nervous, okay.
- You got it.
- Melted.
- Perfect.
- Beep.
(lively music)
- Just kidding.
- I'm like why are you handing it to me?
(lively music)
- I'm pretty concerned with all this stuff on my face,
about breaking out.
- Same.
I never really break out in a lot of areas.
It's always just one big, giant pimple.
- It smells pretty good.
- Yeah.
(lively music)
- I can't open this jar.
- I have Shea butter all over my hands.
- Try it, try it, try it.
(lively music)
- I feel like it'll be a little bit yellow,
so you probably wanna do this on the weekend.
- I was eating honey.
(lively music)
- When I looked down and I saw that this was it,
I was a little concerned about it.
- I'm afraid of smelling bad because of this vinegar.
I don't wanna smell like a fart.
- (laughing) Yeah.
- Whatever, life is short.
We're all gonna die anyway.
- Yeah.
I think we're gonna find that we like it.
(upbeat music)
It's day one, first time I'm about to use this face wash.
It's like water.
We're just gonna see what happens.
Oh, but that's exciting.
Okay.
- It smells like Play-doh, which is strange.
- It smells not bad.
- I'm actually, I mean, it's face wash.
It's face wash for sure, for sure.
- This is doable.
It feels a little like, really dry.
- Time for this.
I'm a little nervous it's gonna burn 'cause it's vinegar.
Wow, it's a very, very strong scent.
- This is the one that I'm really worried about,
'cause I think it's gonna be greasy.
- Oh my God, it's so thick.
- It's like grainy.
I feel very moisturized.
We'll just have to play with it and see.
- What are you doing?
- So I used it again this morning.
I don't like the graininess and the immediate greasiness
that I feel, but after it goes in, it's really soft,
and really nice.
- I'm kind of shiny from this moisturizer.
It actually takes a long time to sink into your skin.
I think I put it on around 7:15 a.m.
It's now almost 11 and it's still kind of sitting
on top of my skin in places, feeling kind of oily.
I do have two pimples now.
- I left this in my gym bag, which was in my car.
And it's complete liquid.
- I've just got home from a night out.
I've got some makeup on here.
I'm gonna see is the face wash can take off my makeup fully.
(lively music)
It took pretty much all of my eye shadow off
and pretty much all my makeup except for this eye liner.
- What if I did my own shampoo, conditioner, lotion?
- I've been getting deep, deep cystic acne,
and I've got one on my nose that you can kind of see,
like where it's red right there, that is so deep.
So I think I'm gonna try the tumeric and honey treatment
'cause I read that it could work for cystic acne.
(lively music)
How's that look?
(laughing)
- We got spot treatment going on and I have so much
of this left over so I'm just gonna pop it in my fridge,
since I have a whole 'nother week of this.
- This morning I'm about to take a shower
and I just wanted to check in and see
how the tumeric and honey worked.
And this one, it still looks red, but actually,
the bump is so much smaller.
And the one on my forehead is pretty much gone.
- Yeah, no, I don't know if it's showing through on camera,
but they look a lot less prominent as they were yesterday.
They're still there.
- How's your skin?
It looks great.
- Well, thank you.
It feels, it's not too different, honestly.
It feels very soft.
- My forehead is just constantly oily now.
- Just like a constant shine.
- If you tell, touch my forehead right now.
(lively music)
- My moisturizer has melted in my gym bag so many times
and re-solidified that it is now smooth.
It is no longer grainy.
I have a whole jar still and a whole container of face wash.
I might keep going past the two week mark.
I normally do a face mask about once a week.
I normally use something like this, like a clay mask.
We can't use these.
We're gonna make our own.
- Right now, I really like Mask of Magnaminty from Lush.
It's all natural stuff but it is definitely
more expensive than making it yourself.
It is also September so I'm getting in the fall spirit
with this pumpkin face mask.
What do you think, Obie?
- All you need is some old fashioned oats and I add
it to a blender or a food processor.
I get some nice consistency.
That's the consistency, really.
You wanna be able to make it a paste
and put it on your face.
- I feel like a little witch,
like I'm making special little potions.
I think I'll just try and put it all on my face.
Maybe this mask is designed for someone with big face
and not the face of a tiny pixie.
- Oh yeah.
(laughing) I think I'm done.
I do feel exfoliated.
- I do feel a really nice tingling, like cooling effect.
- I do feel like I need some moisturizer,
so I'm gonna go, I'm gonna use my face moisturizer.
- My skin actually feels really great.
I did kind of ruin this washcloth.
Well, that's two weeks.
Made it, survived.
- We did it.
- How do you, how do you feel?
- I feel good.
I've been getting a lot of good feedback--
- Yeah? - about my skin.
- You look really good.
- Thank you. - You look really glowy, dewy.
- Like that.
- People think it looks nice?
- People think my skin,
well they think my skin looks the same.
- Okay.
- So that just tells me everything I need to know,
I feel like.
- [Sara] Yeah, like nothing really changed.
- [Mercedes] Exactly.
- I feel the same.
I definitely did get a little bit more acne
than I normally would.
The moisturizer was a little too intense for me.
- Yeah.
- But everything else, it was good,
especially my pumpkin mask.
Food for thought, I would recommend trying this at least,
I think.
- Definitely.
I think I might keep using it, to be honest.
- Oh (beep).
- The moisturizer definitely.
- Holy (beep)
