- Hey guys, I'm Kat Dennings
and tonight I'm gonna be showing you
my nighttime skin-care routine.
(calm music)
I have a pretty basic skincare routine.
I always have, I haven't really been one of those people
who uses like 24 products.
I'm always very impressed.
I don't think I'm good enough at the chemistry of it all.
I like to keep it pretty simple.
Usually when I get home from work, I like to take a bath
and I will actually cleanse my skin in the tub.
And my favorite way to do that is to use either
the Weleda Clarifying Gel Cleanser,
which is a really nice thorough
but, you know, it's just a clear gel
there isn't a lot going on there very simple.
Oh, it has Willow bark extracts.
Trees.
I also like to use the Clinique Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser.
That's a classic and I found this fun little things.
This is a little silicone.
Can you tell it's a little silicone cleansing sleeve
and it'll lather it up, you know, and then, you know,
you can wash it and it's great.
So I have one on the tub, one in the shower,
one by the sink, they're all over the place.
So after cleansing,
sometimes if I'm really in the mood for a little treat,
I will do a lip scrub.
This is the, you know, brown sugar one from fresh.
I feel like this has been around for a really long time.
Now I'm disgusting.
So I'm gonna just use my very long natural nails.
Thank you so much.
(Kat mumbling)
And then you just, you know (humming).
Who invented this, such a good idea.
Anytime we have kissing scenes at work.
Okay, I'm an actor.
Let's just straighten that up.
Anytime I have a kissing scene
with another actor I'll do this.
I'll do this for them.
'Cause I'm nice.
It makes your lip so soft, it's so nice.
I actually do not like going to bed with lip balm on,
so I would leave it there.
If my lips were very, very chapped
I would put lip balm on for the night.
Next I will use,
I have a few different serums that I really like
but I absolutely love this.
Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum.
This is just vitamin C.
So I'll do a, you know half dropper of the vitamin C serum.
Rub between palms like that and I do, I pat.
I pat all of my skincare on.
I see so many videos where people saying, you know,
go up with all your products.
Always look in upward motion
but to me it feels like the less moving the skin the better.
I do move my face a lot as a person.
So I feel like when I apply my skin-care
I just pat, I have very sensitive skin.
I do not go in the sun ever.
That's my main skin-care secret.
My skin is very translucent.
I mean, you can,
I mean you can really like see how the sausage is made.
If I'm having some kind of breakout
I will spot treat with this iS Clinical-Hydra-Cool Serum.
This stuff is incredible.
This is my tried and true,
I've gone through so many bottles of this.
So if I have a breakout area I'll just dab little bit on
and it really does take it down, like you wouldn't believe.
So next I will moisturize.
So like I said I don't really like to do a heavy moisturizer
in the evening, especially before going to sleep
just because I sleep on my face.
Another no-no I've heard, but what are you gonna do?
So I like to keep it kind of lighter in the evening.
So La Mer has this incredible moisturizer
called the Moisturizing Cool Gel Cream.
I washed my hands before this video
so don't worry about it.
Again, pat.
Pat that in to your face gently.
I put most of my face products left over on my hands
and my hair.
I feel if it's good for your skin
it's gotta be good for your hair, right?
Yeah.
I hear the most important part
of a healthy skin-care routine is being hydrated,
which I never am.
So it's a miracle I have a face at all at this point.
I also really love as an alternative
to the product I just use.
La Mer has the Hydrating Infused Emulsion.
I'll just use a little bit, listen I'm treating myself.
Another very lightly and very, very nice
light moisturizer.
So now with this sinking in,
we'll go to our little eye cream.
My favorite is the iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex,
is Clinical might be like my holy grail brand.
Everything they make is fantastic.
There's a little eye cream.
Again, I don't use very much.
I don't use very much of anything.
I have broken out from creams before.
I've broken out from sunscreen
Which is why I decided to just stop going outside.
It's not really worth the risk.
If my skin really needs hydration
because sometimes it does.
In the daytime I do tend to use this.
This is, I will say,
this is my new holy grail product not sponsored.
This is the Serumkind Black Blossom Drop.
I dunno if you can see that.
This has like a, I think it's black tulip in it
and let me tell you right now.
This is no joke, you're not gonna believe the quality
of your skin in the morning if you do sleep in this.
If you don't break out from stuff.
Actually, this hasn't made me break out yet
and I use this quite a bit.
So that's a whole dropper.
Just watch, watch the magic.
This is so amazing.
It really keeps your skin dewy, moisturized for hours.
I mean, it sinks in eventually
but this, if you like that glass skin look which I love
on other people.
My final step and most favorite step
is my toner facial spray.
This might just be for my mood
because this smells so incredible.
This is my other holy grail, I guess I have a,
I'm using my holy grail products right now
but this is really special to me.
This is the May Lindstrom Skin,
the Jasmine Garden Botanical Facial Mist.
This smells, oh (mist spraying).
Oh my God!
It smells like when you walk past a wall of Jasmine flowers,
if you're taking a walk and you walk past Jasmine,
you're like, oh my God, what is that?
What is that? What is that?
Oh my God.
That is what this is, this smells like that
and I'm, I think this,
I mean, this line is really beautiful and really luxurious.
The scent is so unbelievable.
I mean I, back when we used to travel in this world
I would travel with this as just a rule.
I needed to have it with me.
I have one in the shower.
I have spritz it on myself in the shower.
I do it morning, afternoon and night.
I love it so much.
I mean, sometimes if I really wanna be cute about myself
I'll put on a little perfume before I go to bed.
Hold on (grunting).
I will use my Jo Malone Orange Blossom
Perfume now, why not?
Why not?
Oh God.
Who is she?
And that's it.
That is my nighttime skin-care routine.
Thank you so much for watching.
I hope this was fun.
It was for me.
I feel dewy, I feel moisturized.
I'm not hydrated, but maybe just for you
I will go drink some water so I don't die.
So I can see this video posted
for my beloved Harper's Bazaar.
So thank you so much again and good night.
Bye-bye.
