- Whenever I put it on, my husband is like,
you look funky so he just stay away from me.
(upbeat music)
Today we're doing long vs. short skin care routines.
- So I'll do three things in the shower
and then several things outside of the shower.
- I just use a little soap and a little bit of acne cream.
- I kinda keep it very fast.
- There's some certain steps you,
kinda of gonna like put it on
and then relax for 5 minutes.
- Oh wow!
- How long does your skincare routine take you?
- I would say mine takes about 2 minutes.
- Probably 5 minutes.
- I feel like it's like 10 minutes,
it's just incorporated into my daily
routine at this point.
- About 30 minutes.
- So I guess we can try out our skin care routine
and if you want, feel free to help yourself
to whatever it is I have and I might do the same.
- That'll be great, I don't know if you will.
- It looks like a spa.
- This is a lot yeah.
- I mean, you have some stuff here.
- Oh, okay.
- I just have a serum.
- Oh. - And this is actually
a firming massage mask.
- Accidentally broke the top,
that's why I started using my hand soap.
- Got like a very specialized acne medication
that I can use on the problem spots.
- What's your spin skin type?
- I finally came to learn that I have combination skin.
- I wake up really oily
and then I wash my face
and then it gets super dry.
- Yeah, same here.
- I have a mix between dry and oily skin,
that's why sometimes I use lotion
and sometimes I use don't.
- Totally, mine like, like a little bit of a desert,
it sucks everything in.
- This one I use it for like, really,
really light day.
I use this one to like exfoliate
and this one, it got like camomile, I guess.
- This is from my doctor
and so is that.
- Yeah. - This is,
this is for my eyelid eczema
and this one's for acne
but the rest of the stuff
is from Soko Glam.
- Did you wash your face this morning?
- I guess I did part one.
- Okay.
- I used LA tap water.
- I like get really dry,
after washing my face,
so this is just calming it down.
So I'm just gonna go ahead
and do a little bit.
- Okay so when I start, I put this cleansing oil
just like over my face,
only need like one to two pumps,
and it kind of like soaks in
and then I get in the shower and wash it off.
After it washes off,
I mix this Clarisonic thing for dry skin
and just a little bit of this benzoyl peroxide wash.
So I'll put this Clarisonic brush,
and scrub it all over my face.
After I rinse that off,
I finally move on to this water cleanser,
also from Soko Glam, it's really mild.
Then two days out of the week,
I will use as exfoliator.
- I just have the serum
and just two little pumps.
- I use this, it's a actually
diluted Dr. Bronner's.
So I just get some warm water
and I rub my face.
I just,
do this.
(laughs)
- My next step is actually your second step,
so this is like a tumeric oil.
Actually, would you wanna to try some of this?
Yay! - That's cute though,
smells so good.
- As soon as I get out of the actual shower
I move on to the Clindamycin gel
and then I just kind of, everywhere, everywhere.
- Next step is my gel for my under eye area
and you just feel like you're putting ocean
on your eye.
- You're like Bob Rossing your face.
- Yeah, because when I was a child,
my Mom who's always say, that your face
it's not the table.
- This is skincare toner,
so I only put on like a couple drops,
and then I just, boop,
it feel like it really just kinda prepares your skin
for the rest of the layers.
- So this is avocado eye treatment,
I use on top of the gel,
just to get it a little extra nutrition.
So just tiny bit.
- This is an essence, it's really light,
it feels like water.
- Oh, I'm shiny and creamy. - It makes you,
it makes you very glowy, that's for sure.
Think it helps with your complexion.
- So since I have so, all these stuff,
I don't use 'em on a daily basis.
When I have more time, I'll add this oil.
This is super fun.
So you just like,
scoop one up
and put it under your eye. - Oh
- Whenever I put it on my huband, my husband is like
you look funky and funny and ridiculous,
so he just stay away from me.
- I don't know how this is pronounced,
A-M-P-O-U-L-E, it sounds fancy,
it was feels fancy.
So what I do, is I mix it with this moisturizer
there you go, and then all over my face
and neck, I can't emphasize the neck enough.
- Honestly it does feel a little bit like oily.
- It might be, it might be too much for you.
- So the next step I'm going to use is a actual lotion
it give you a cool matte look.
- This is all I do at the end of the day,
they, it doesn't work, when the sun hits it,
so like, you just use it once a day,
at night before bed.
It's doctor prescribed
and it works really well, I just the problem areas
right here.
- This is actually a firming massage mask
- and all I use is like, really this, that much.
- Okay.
- Leave it on your face and then leave it there
for a couple of minutes, and then you swipe it off.
- Nice and spongy.
- I have two final steps,
this is for my full face,
this is the sunscreen, it's SPF 50.
- It feels really light. - Right?
It doesn't smell.
- So I have two last steps,
one is the face cream.
- What's the difference between face cream and lotion?
- I just don't like to apply face cream directly
because it feels really, thick,
there, I don't have a real theory behind it
but that's just mine, all mine feelings.
They say like, if you massage your face this way,
- Yeah upwards.
- It keeps your muscle going upwards.
- This is the last thing,
this is for people with eczema.
It's honestly just Hydrocortisone cream
at 2.5 a little higher than regular
and it's for my left eyelid which is currently
experiencing some sort of flare up
and I don't know why, so. - Okay.
- But that's the last, last thing I put on
because I don't want it being mixing into anything else.
I just want it to say concentrated.
- Yeah, that why I put this,
this is the last thing I do too.
- Yeah.
- The last step is sunscreen.
- Yeah usually I wear sunblock too,
I forgot that one as well.
- Here use mine.
- Okay.
Thank you. - I love sharing.
- So this is the dry skin lotion
that I use from time to time
and it's also got SPF-18.
I especially use it if I know it's gonna
be a really sunny day.
As you can see, I just put a little bit on my nose
and my cheeks, it's not as good as yours.
- Well thank you so much for showing me everything
that you do, I feel like I've learned a lot.
- I don't know, my interests are peeked now,
and now I'm like, okay so maybe I should look into this
because, I don't know, you're skin is, beautiful.
I'm also really kind of lazy.
- I felt inspired from your routine as well.
I need to be more efficient about things.
- It is something I would like to look more into
you know, and then I can maybe feel confident
not wearing makeup one of these days.
- You should feel confident anyway.
- Yeah.
- Don't even worry about it.
- Empowering.
So would you ever consider shortening your routine?
- Honestly, maybe if there's a,
the right combination of products,
this is just like me, trying to fight aging
and skin changes and all the stuff that's gonna happen.
- It's important to know self-care,
everybody has their own routines.
- Have you gone to a dermatologist?
- Not yet.
- You should check it out, I mean,
- Yeah. - I haven't done that either,
but like, I've heard really good things,
especially as your textures are changing
because of your hormones, I feel like it's helpful
to go to someone and explain what's going on.
- All in all it's being able to take care of yourself
and understand your skin, which is what,
I feel like all these products are
and all the routines.
