Oh!
Hey, guys!
I’m just here in The Standard New York.
I’m just taking a little bit of a staycation,
getting some work done, getting in the zone.
But you will never guess what just happened.
My friend Jessica
just launched a new skin care collection
and by Jessica, I mean Jessica
Alba.
She decided to show me her skin care routine
because I’m always talking about how amazing
her skin is.
So if you’re ready for a very special episode
of Beauty With Mi,
keep watching to find out what we did.
I think Jessica’s here!
Hi guys!
So I am here with Jessica Alba.
We’ve got our robes on.
We’re all comfy.
And I thought that it’d be fun if you can walk me through
your skin care routine because you have amazing skin.
Thank you.
And I want to know the secrets.
So do you.
I’m wearing foundation.
I’m wearing a lot of it, a lot of it right now.
So first things first,
we started with taking off all of my makeup.
I was wearing quite a bit of it.
I love doing wipes and then at the end of it,
seeing how much makeup is on your face.
I know. It’s so satisfying, right?
I also like to use these before I go to the gym.
The gym is another good place to have wipes.
Yeah.
What are some things that you always bring to the gym?
I always bring wipes,
magic balm,
and I am that person that can’t live without concealer.
Same.
Because I have like black under my eyes.
Are you a morning gym person or an evening?
Morning. Morning.
—Ugh that is not me. —Morning.
I don’t want to be a morning gym person.
But I kind of feel like if I don’t get it done in the morning,
I’ll never get it done.
Makeup off.
There’s a lot on it.
So now we’re going to use—I love the konjac sponge.
What’s so nice about this is
it sort of gently exfoliates.
You can put a couple of pumps.
Now this is our new sal acid cleanser.
It’s a sal acid that is made derived from wintergreen.
Oh this feels good.
I’ve actually used konjac cleansers before
but this one is actually the softest one I’ve
ever used.
—It feels so good. —Isn’t it so nice?
The cleanser is really nice.
It doesn’t feel stripping.
I love that it’s not like foaming too much.
I’m wondering what a typical Sunday night routine
looks like for you and your family.
Sunday night routine:
my husband loves making tacos.
They’re beef tacos and I have to cut everything…
That’s some serious business.
Yeah.
He makes me cut everything
exactly how he wants them to.
I’ve tried to throw in bell peppers and stuff.
He’s like, “You’re ruining my tacos.”
And I’m like, “Alright, Cash.”
Then we moved onto the toner.
I love toner.
My skin agrees with it very well.
Put it onto a little cotton pad,
swept it over,
made sure that my face is totally free of makeup.
I’m under a lot of confusion even about what toner is.
Yeah well I just feel like it’s a very refreshing step
and I really like it especially when
I do work a lot or when I am having a
little more breakouts.
I do love to use a toner.
I think my skin is kind of addicted to it.
We also found out some
cool little tidbits about her family.
She told me that the whole family
likes to watch “Chopped Junior”
and I got really excited.
I love “Chopped Junior!”
—It’s so good. —It’s so good.
You can’t...
It makes me feel bad about my cooking ability.
I mean it’s unreal.
How do you they even know to do those combinations?
I mean it’s insane.
They’re just like,
“Yeah, never made ice cream before but I’ll try it.”
Or the deep fryers,
how they just put things in the deep fryers.
And they’re so tiny.
—They can’t reach. —And they don’t burn themselves.
They’re so good.
I burn all of my arms every time.
So we had a little moment there.
Then we moved on to the retinol night serum,
which is kind of more like a moisturizer than
it is a serum.
The texture itself is a little bit more creamy
and feels really hydrating on the face.
I’m so excited that you have a retinol
in this line because I’m obsessed with retinol.
For those of you who don’t know
it’s a type of Vitamin A that helps speed up cellular
turnover.
So it’s really great for wrinkles.
This retinol is also very gentle.
A lot of retinols can be overdrying.
So make sure with your retinol
that you’re only using it at night.
Because you are going to have
a little bit more sensitive skin.
And you want to make sure that you have a really great
sunscreen for daytime use,
even in the winter.
100% always wear sunscreen.
Always wear sunscreen.
Jessica said you can use it on its own
actually and not top it off with any moisturizer,
but we did go in with moisturizer after.
When do you use this?
Do you use it at night as well?
You can use this with the retinol.
You can use it on days
that you don’t want to use the retinol,
if you want to skip a of couple days.
Or you use in the morning, prior to your sunscreen.
I love the texture.
I know we just took makeup off,
but I feel like this would layer really well under makeup.
Exactly.
Finally, we used the spot treatment.
Probably one of my favorites.
I like to have a spot treatment
in pretty much every single bag I have,
on my bedside table,
in my living room.
So you can use this at night,
in the morning,
during the day,
and it’s also fast acting.
It feels good.
It also is completely transparent.
So you’re not walking around with pink dots
that are all over your face.
But like drying lotion stuff,
that’s not a good look.
Well thank you so much for joining me
at The Standard Hotel in New York.
It’s been really fun.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
Be sure to check out this entire
Younger + Clearer Collection.
It’s coming out on the end August
on honestbeauty.com.
I’m very excited and I get to try it early.
Yeah, you do.
Jessica was so nice
and she gave me everything.
So I’m excited to try everything afterward.
But it was just so cool to hang out with her.
She said that I was so knowledgeable.
I freaked out.
I felt like I got a little scoop.
Well my skin feels great.
I’m very tired.
I had quite a day,
so I’m going to go to bed now.
See ya next time!
