- Hi, welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Amy, I'm the Senior Editor at Adore Beauty.
And today, welcome to my home.
We are doing an evening skincare routine for dry skin.
So I'm gonna take you through the kind
of semi at home facial you can do
when your skin's feeling a bit bleh,
and you just wanna pack in some more hydration there.
So this isn't my usual evening routine
because I don't have time for 6, 7, 8 steps
on a normal night
but if you have some time say maybe on a Sunday afternoon
when you're having your do everything shower,
you're shaving your legs and you're doing all the things
or if you're having a night in and you wanna stay in
and do a bit of an at-home facial, this is for you,
so keep watching,
I'm gonna take you through all the steps
and the different products we're using.
First of all, a quick spiel on what happens
to your skin in winter,
so whether you have oily skin, dry skin, normal skin,
or even combination skin,
all of us can experience dehydration during winter
because things like chilly, windy mornings,
we use our heaters more often, hotter showers,
all of these kinds of things can dry the skin
out a little bit and that leads to dehydration,
which means a lack of water in the skin.
So this routine we're gonna do today,
not only just does it feel really nice,
but it's gonna be using hydrating products
that can help to add a bit more water
to our dry winter skin.
So let me go and slip into something a bit more comfortable
and we'll get started.
Alrighty, now I'm comfy and cosy,
let's get this skincare routine started.
Actually you know what? Let's light a candle.
I'm worth it.
This CIRCA amber and sandalwood candle smells amazing.
Light this baby up.
Okay, now I'm ready.
Step one is cleansing with an oil cleanser.
I'm using the Disciple Night Shift AHA oil cleanser,
using an oil cleanser like this one
in a double cleansing routine helps to break down
any sunscreen, makeup, and general grime from the day.
This oil cleanser contains fruit acids
rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or AHA's,
to very gently exfoliate the skin at the same time.
Really take your time massaging the product into the skin,
concentrating on congested areas, for me that's my chin,
jaw line and nose.
Then you're gonna wanna rinse that off with warm water
or use a damp cloth.
Now your makeup is off,
your second cleanser can properly cleanse the skin.
I'm using the Murad Prebiotic 4-in-1 MultiCleanser
on damp skin, but you can use any cream,
gel or gentle foaming cleanser you like.
Then rinse it off. You can also use a cloth.
Oh, that's lippy all over my nice towel.
The things we do for beauty.
Step three in this facial is a mask
to specifically manage that congestion
I was talking about earlier,
the Kiehl's Rare Earth cleansing mask
contains Bentonite and Kaolin clay to draw out
and absorb any gunk lurking in your pores,
but it also has glycerin, aloe vera and oatmeal
to keep the skin feeling comfortable, not dry or tight,
that's crucial.
If you have normal to oily or combination skin,
go forth and whack this on
wherever you're feeling congested,
but because I have dry skin, I'm only applying the mask
onto damp skin in the areas I need it.
I know, it's really attractive.
Leave this on for around 10 to 15 minutes,
you can grab a snack, watch some telly
or live vicariously through your friends on their night out
on their Instagram stories. Just do your thing.
I like to remove using a damp cloth
once the mask is almost dry.
Step four is a must for dry skin.
Now I've ripped all the bits and pieces from my pores,
we need to add hydration back into the skin.
A sheet mask is a great way to do this,
and it's also just really fun.
I'm using the Medik8 Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask,
and the name kind of says it all,
ultimate recovery but for your face,
the Bio-Cellulose sheet mask material is soaked
in Hyaluronic Acid and Zinc PCA serum
to help the skin retain its moisture content
and promote skin healing.
Done, stunning, a vision, serial killer vibes.
Leave this on for 15 to 30 minutes.
While I'm waiting for it to do its thing,
I might as well pop in a hair oil
because my ends get super dry and crunchy in winter too.
The Kerastase beautifying hair oil
is basically liquid gold in a bottle.
It smells so good. You can actually use this hair oil
a few different ways, as a pre-shampoo treatment,
a heat protectant if you wanna have a super shiny finish,
but I'm gonna use it as a leave-in conditioning treatment
on my ends.
Alrighty, time to peel this baby off.
Ooh yeah! Look at that juicy bouncy skin, yes!
We're almost done, but now it is time to double down
on the moisture with a super hydrating serum
or oil or both, do whatever you like, it's your facial,
but I'm using the Disciple Good Skin face oil serum
because it's rich in essential fatty acids
and essential oils.
This product smells amazing, it's like lavender
and tea tree oil.
It's gonna clear out those sinuses
and I feel like it's gonna help me sleep better too.
Last step, chuck on a thick nourishing lip balm,
don't be stingy.
I like to pop a bit on either side of my nose
where it gets dry too.
Mm Mm, feels good.
That concludes my dry skin evening skincare routine,
a bit of an at-home facial,
but my skin is feeling really plump, juicy and soft.
So now I'm just gonna go watch some TV.
So see you next time.
