hello friends welcome back to my channel today we're going to do a basic
skin routine with simple calming ingredients
this is a routine that i refer back to when my skin is having issues
this is a routine that i recommend to my own friends girls and boys alike and
even if you're just getting into skincare and want to try an easy routine
this is for you a little bit about my skin i have really
oily acne prone skin i also have really sensitive skin so
recently i had a really bad breakout on my forehead
i briefly talked about it in my recent favorites video but
whenever my skin is really going through it this is a simple routine that i
always go back to i prefer products that are unscented and
on fragrance if you don't have skin that is as
sensitive as me you can totally use whatever products that you want to use
because my skin is so sensitive all the practice i talk about today
are going to be super gentle super basic ingredients but
products that really work for my skin i'm going to go ahead and link all the
products i talked about down below i'm only going to be talking about a few
products in this video just because i don't want to overwhelm you guys
if you do want to see a couple other price points and other products i do
love or recommend i'll go ahead and link those down below as well
so there are four basic steps to any skin routine
cleanser then toner moisturizer and spf you want to make sure that
you're using spf every single day i don't get acne scars or dark spots
because i am making sure that i'm wearing spf and protecting my skin
because this is an evening routine i actually applied spf in the morning and
i want to make sure that i'm really deep cleaning my skin so i always double
cleanse this is one of the steps that has made
the biggest difference on my skin i'm actually going to go in with the
glow recipe papaya sorbet enzyme cleansing balm a little goes a
long way and it also contains fruit enzyme that help to gently exfoliate
your skin as well another cleansing balm that i
really like is the green queen from pharmacy
if you don't know what double cleansing is it is pretty much going in with an
oil-based cleanser first then following up with a
water-based cleanser after you remove all the spf all the residue that is on
your skin so i do oil cleanse every single day at night
after rinsing that off i'm next going to go in with my
favorite cleanser ever this is the first aid beauty pure skin face cleanser
i'm not joking you this is my favorite we have so many backups of this and
brandon and i love this cleanser it's just a really good basic
unisex cleanser does a really good job of deep cleaning my skin and it helps to
remove any of the extra oil cleanser that's
left on my skin we also do love the pharmacy clean bee
cleanser but for me the first aid beauty pure skin cleanser
is just such a good basic doesn't irritate or overly strip my skin
i actually grabbed a little bit too much so you don't need this much
probably just like a dime sized amount and i actually like to
suds it in my hands with a little bit of water and that way when i apply it
directly onto my face it's already kind of suds that for me so
i'm actually going to cleanse for 60 seconds and if you've watched any of
my other skincare videos i talk about cleansing for 60 seconds
all the time because it just allows you to not neglect
any area of your face and make sure that you get a really deep clean
so i always do a full 60 seconds it has made the biggest
difference on my skin there's no extra residue on my face and especially paired
with double cleansing this is just like the best way to
clean your face after rinsing that off i'm gonna go in with a toner whenever my
skin is really breaking out or it's super irritated i always go back to a
super basic simple toner something that
doesn't have a whole lot of active ingredients something that would just
help to soothe and calm my skin so i've been really loving the glow
recipe watermelon glow mist and i actually have been reaching for a
mist a lot because it's just so easy on my skin i can just spray it
directly on my face other toners i really enjoy
are the youtube people adaptogen soothe and hydrate
activated mess this is actually my second bottle of this i love this
this is actually even a little bit more gentler than the glow recipe one but i
just find that the glow recipe leaves my skin just a little bit more hydrated
origins also makes a really good mushroom treatment lotion i actually use
this just as a toner and pour directly into my hands and pat it onto my face
and what toner does is it helps to prep your skin for whatever skincare that
you're applying it also helps to regulate the ph levels
of your skin i always make sure that i tone
morning and night and i really get on brandon's butt about toning because
boys and girls both need a tone okay next this step is optional but i'm
actually going to apply a little bit of eye cream
if you don't have an eye cream or don't want to spend money on it you can
actually take whatever moisturizer you're using and pat that on your under
eyes but i actually find the eye creams are a little bit more
rich and nourishing so i do like to use them my favorite eye cream is the
pharmacy do it all eye cream this is just an overall
solid eye cream super hydrating super nourishing and
does everything that i need an eye cream to do i use it morning and night but
another really great eye cream is the origins
ginseng eye cream this is a really good brightening one and something that i
like to use in the morning with and without makeup so i'm just
going to pat this under my eyes and you want to make sure that you're patting it
on your eyelids as well just to make sure that we are
getting it nice and hydrated next we are going in with our serum
and so this is the additional step that i talked about earlier
and i always go in with the serum because
serums are great for targeting any type of skin concern that you have and for me
that is acne this p cell acne serum is one of my
favorites i've talked about it all over my instagram but it's so good for
targeting my breakouts it contains salicylic acid
vitamin c and niacin muds it really helps to
target any breakouts i have it helps to brighten
and even out my skin tone so it's just one of my favorites i use it morning and
night and i find that it's super gentle this i fully attribute to helping me
keep my skin so clear especially if you have any type
of specific skin concern you want to make sure that you're using
a serum because a lot of the time serums are a little bit more liquidy than
moisturizers are and some ingredients are more stabilized
in serum forms if you have dry skin maybe you can
incorporate a hydrating serum there's serums for almost
anything that you need that peace out acne serum is definitely a must for me
next i'm going to go in with a moisturizer when my skin is breaking out
i want to make sure that i'm using something that is super
lightweight that won't clog my pores and i love this pharmacy daily greens
moisturizer this one is actually oil-free so it's
super lightweight and absorbs really quickly into the skin
i have really oily acne prone skin and i don't avoid
oils as you saw earlier i was using an oil cleanser so
not all oil is bad for your skin but just
when times my skin is overly irritated i love reaching for this one just because
it's super lightweight another moisturizer that i really love
is the first aid beauty ultra repair cream this is a really good
hydrating moisturizer this is something that brandon actually keeps in his bag
and we're halfway through it and this is a really big tub so i do think you get a
lot of value for your money especially now that the weather is
cooling down a lot i feel like my skin does need a little bit of extra
hydration so i'm actually going to use the first aid beauty
ultra repair cream and just patting that into my skin
and this is the finished effect this is all the skincare applied onto my skin
i just love how hydrated and nourished it is and it's easy
and simple and perfect for all skin types especially if you have acne prone
skin you don't want to over do it it can irritate your skin
further and damage your skin barrier so you just want to make sure that you are
super patient with your routine and having a good basic skin routine can
help to regulate your skin more is not always more i usually like
to reach for this basic routine whenever i feel like my skin is really going
through it if i wanted to use this routine in the
morning i would do all the same steps except for
i would apply spf on top these two are spfs i've been loving recently if you
want a more in-depth review definitely check out my
favorites video and that is it for my skin routine i hope you all enjoyed this
