- Shh!
Be very quiet, my kids are sleeping
and it's time for some me time.
Wanna go to bed with me?
(chill hip-hop music)
I'm just gonna take this moment to talk about self-care
because when you're a mom like me, I'm 40 years old,
I've got three kids,
I'm hustling, picking up kids from school.
I've got two kids that are babies that are under two
that are very attached to their mom.
It gets tough, it does.
And you know, we just try to find our little gems
in the day that make it special for ourselves
and you have to give yourself credit and pat yourself
on the back at the end of the day,
for all the things that you've done
and take care of yourself,
even if it's just for a quick 15 minutes.
I wanna take off my makeup and I'm gonna show you
how I put on my skincare.
Now my skincare is different pretty much every day,
sometimes I'm like more oily,
like right now I'm looking my face a little bit more oily
but I actually prefer to have more moisturized face.
I can always put some powder on it.
So let's begin.
So I like to start off with facial cleansing towelettes.
See that, ta-da, so easy.
I've been using these for years, especially, you know,
in my 20s, I was really lazy about taking off makeup
'cause I loved my makeup so much when I would go
to an event I'd sometimes even sleep in it,
and then eventually like I moved into using makeup towels
to take my makeup off.
In your 20s, you kind of think you're gonna stay like that
forever but the truth is unfortunately
it doesn't stay that way forever.
I like to use my moist towelettes first,
kind of get around the eyes,
I have extensions on my eyelashes
so I'm very careful with how I wash my face.
I kind of wash and clean around the lashes.
That way I don't mess them up 'cause I pay a pretty penny
to get my lashes done.
Next up, this is when we start messing with the real deal,
all the fun stuff
so I like to use my cute little headband
to keep my hair back.
So that that way I don't mess up my hair,
I have really curly hair and if I wanna keep my hairstyle
for the next day and then, I mean,
the next day never turns out perfect but at least
it's halfway there, then it's best that I pull it back
or else, if it's wet it's gonna be really curly.
Put this on on, keep them edges nice and pasted down,
that way they don't get wet.
Next up, we're gonna continue to wash off this makeup.
I'm going to use Tula Skincare's So Polished.
It's an exfoliating sugar scrub.
Super, super, super good,
this really gets into the creases.
And I like it 'cause it's really soft because it's sugar.
You can use a dime sized amount,
but I like to use a little more.
I mean, whoever really follows what they say.
I really like Tula products because first off,
they're affordable and they really work.
It's kind of a good for all ages,
my daughter uses it and so do I.
I'm trying to teach her about skin care now,
so she has like a couple different products
for different stuff.
Now we're gonna wash it off,
really get in there,
Oo, my freckles.
A lot of people don't know I have freckles.
And a pat down, I try not to rub too hard.
The reason I'm using some of these products right now
is I do feel, though my skin looked kind of greasy,
I feel like my skin feels like kind of like tough right now
and I think it's 'cause of lack of sleep.
It's important to get your sleep
and it's really important to hydrate
so drink a lot of water throughout your day.
Next up I use Mario Badescu's Facial Spray
to kind of refresh my face, voila.
Gonna turn that pink into like, an even tone,
almost like a toner.
I like to pat it into my skin.
Voila, magic!
I get really dark circles under my eyes as you can see.
I always use concealer to kind of cover it up
but sometimes I don't wear a lot of makeup
throughout my day so I just put on concealer.
So after the concealer's off,
you can can see I get dark circles around my eyes
and because I'm growing wiser,
of course you get like little lines and stuff
so I like to put a little bit of eye cream under my eyes
and this is by Shiseido, so it's Shiseido Wrinkle Resist 24.
Hello!
Under the eyes, I probably put way too much.
I think it just got in my eye.
Oh my God, I did.
Keeps the skin nice and taught and firm
and also helps fill out any of those lines
that you have under there.
I like to kind of like, waken my skin, like patting it.
I still think I have some cream in eye.
Be careful.
I'm going to even out my skin tone a bit
just so that, you know, kind of have that healthy glow.
And so I'm going to use Tula Bright Start,
it's got vitamin C, probiotics,
this is really, really good,
kind of brighten up the whole area,
my T-zone and under the eyes.
So there it is right there.
Rub it on my hands.
Now what a lot of people sometimes don't mention
is you should also like, moisturize your neck.
Don't forget your neck, and don't forget your ear lobes.
They talk about the neck
but they don't talk about the ear lobes, hello!
As you get older, your ear lobes start to sag too,
so I don't want saggy ear lobes.
All right, there you go,
and if you go on like a nice upward motion
I feel like it helps like lift those laugh lines.
Hello?
Wanna go to bed with me?
(laughing)
I love stuff that has like antioxidants and probiotics
and I like to rub it into my hands,
so rub it into your hands too
so you can keep those looking beautiful and young too.
So I love this, it's by Dior, it's Dior Prestige.
It's like this rose caviar, it is amazing.
Use this at night or in the morning.
I'm telling you, I'll have everybody giving you compliments
all day.
Oh, I love this stuff, it feels so good on your skin.
And I kind of just, I don't know.
If you like this nice, smooth finish and your tone
just all just like it all blends at the end somehow
and then lastly, you gotta take care of your lips.
You gotta keep those lips looking good
and we use our lips and our mouth all the time to speak.
At night, my lips are always, they get chapped.
So I like to use Tula, this is actually my Tula
Lip SOS treatment.
It's a lip balm and I put this on at night
and through the night sometimes.
Hello, that's the good stuff right there.
and that's that.
After that I take my hair down and I comb my hair
because they say, if you comb your hair enough, it grows.
So I comb my hair, at least a couple strokes.
I don't really wear like a wrap
because it always falls off at nighttime.
So I like lay on the pillow with my hair
like over the pillow.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.
That was literally my 15 minutes of peace
that I get to have all to myself
and I loved every single second of it.
Bye, guys, have a good night.
My tea, peace!
