hey guys i'm shay mitchell i'm an
actress entrepreneur
beauty junkie and frequent flyer i've
been juggling work and travel for quite
some time and along the way i've picked
up some secrets
in this series i'll be opening up my
little black book to share some of the
people and practices that help make my
life a little bit easier
i'm so excited to take you behind the
scenes and bring you guys into my world
subscribe to the bazaar channel so you
don't miss an episode
skin care i am a skincare junkie
i've been playing with makeup since i
was four years old and actually started
my youtube channel about
four years ago so with you know makeup
and all the different trends you also
have to really take care of your skin
since that is the foundation that sort
of sets the tone for everything else
along the way from constantly working
and traveling
your skin goes through a lot of ups and
downs and so for me the most important
things are finding good products that
work really well with your skin
and also people that can help you
maintain that great skin journey
so first up would be shawnee darden
shawnee not only is one of my favorite
people
she's like an older sister to me and
gives me such great advice all the time
she is honestly the skin
goddess i mean she herself has such
beautiful skin i'll never forget opening
the door
and her answering it and i'm just like
oh like that's what she looked like
i was like skin like you whatever you're
doing do it to me please
my skin went through a phase it was
really really bad
didn't matter how much makeup you
applied onto it you could see it very
obviously so shawnee
knew my concerns and honestly
transformed my skin from what it was
before
i'm actually heading to shawnee's office
today just to get me ready for my quick
trip to paris
i love to see shawnee either before i go
on a trip or after
just to catch up and also sneak in a
quick facial
i like just being in an suv because
people don't really with you
because i'm like
you go audio buddy but you're not going
to mess up my car i
love the youtube community and i feel
like it was something i was just super
interested in when i
you know did a little bit more research
people get a really good
glimpse of who i am because i believe
that i put a lot of myself out there and
my personality on social media
and i'm doing that because i really did
want people to get to know who i really
am
so we are just pulling up to shawnee's
just pulled up
today i got a new little friend right
here so this is actually perfect timing
come on this is shawnee darden she is
celebrity facialist to the stars moves
the whole universe she's the best of the
best
and today she's gonna help me get ready
because i leave for paris in two days
i got you i know you do we're going to
the back
today we are going to get shay ready
for paris fashion week right right and
just for life in general
and life in general right yeah so we're
going to do a nice cleanse
first and get her all clean it's really
important that shea comes and gets
facials every three weeks
because of all the makeup i wear right
and because you have products that you
love that you use
at home so we just want to make sure
she's clean and beautiful
right now i'm going to use do vibration
therapy
and so i basically just put a little bit
of uh something so that it will glide
so vibration therapy what this does is
tone tighten and lift
that's what we all want yeah and it
feels really good
usually when i see shawnee i go into a
meditative state
that's
the peel that we are using is actually
my own peel so it's got a few different
acids in it
and so she's going to get nice and red
and it doesn't feel awesome
and i am going to give her a fan or i am
going to fan her
so that she does not yell at me and you
guys will see
like you think i'm just being a baby
when you see what it does to the color
of my skin
it truly feels like there's fire ants
all over
don't worry the fans coming fans coming
see how you go in your happy place here
there you're good you're
you're okay now it's good shawnee's
favorite part my worst part
how that could you get started like when
were you like oh my god i'm the best at
transforming people's skin
maybe even eight i became obsessed with
skincare
like i was like making masks and put
putting them on all my friends
and i made my mom take me to a
dermatologist
and i'm from a really small town
plattsburgh new york
and there's nobody there there's like 10
people and so
we didn't have a dermatologist there we
might still not have a dermatologist
there
we had to go to burlington vermont which
is an hour away you had to take a ferry
to get there
just so that i could see a dermatologist
and then when i finally became an
esthetician 12 years ago
all my friends back home were like how
did you not know that this was what you
were supposed to do like what's wrong
with you
like i think it's like we all have a
gift or maybe several and it's just what
i was supposed to do
see doesn't that feel good it's all over
yeah
you did really really good thank you
okay here's the fun part so what would
you say
are like maybe three things that
everybody should do aside from like the
usual drink water and get sleepy yadda
yadda
which is very exfoliate but don't over
exfoliate
okay you want to really make sure you're
washing your face and getting
all your makeup off and stay out of the
sun okay this is a serious one i know
go to your happy foods oh that was great
oh my god this video isn't gonna be on
one of those like pimples or
who wants to line up facials literally
should be grips on the side of your bed
that i can squeeze
oh or maybe those little balls that you
hold onto like the stress balls
yes so smart you could brand them
oh my god put your little face on them
has anyone ever bit your hand
when you've done this no but i have a
couple clients that growl at me
that's true so now
we are going to use a little bit of
oxygen i have put in
an aloe serum which is to calm her skin
to get rid of all the redness the oxygen
will give her a nice
glow and it will also help to push
the product into her skin so is this
oxygen from like the elf so like
where did where should it be i wish it
was but it's
from the machines right but it helps
smell great i'm gonna actually use that
what are the essential pieces of
equipment that you suggest
everyone should have at home led light
okay which you never use yours
i do okay do you really not as
frequently
right but okay that i think is so
important
i also love microcurrent to use that at
home
current is basically like exercise for
your muscles
so it tone tightens and lifts especially
for you because you're like
always on the go like you need that you
can't come in and get facials
all the time so i wish i could i wish i
could go through what i just went
through
all the time i wish that you just would
move in and i'll just give you facials
and eat with you like that will be our
lives
so i'm going to put a collagen mask on
you first
it also has a little aloe and asaleen in
it both will calm
the skin and then i'm going to use the
microcurrent
over it which is going to help so that i
can kind of glide it over her skin
so what we're doing here is just kind of
just lifting
yep lifting the cheekbones
this is like taking our face to the gym
yes
bicep curl so now i'm going to use an
ultrasound
and shade doesn't like the sound but
this uses
sound waves and it helps to push the
product into the skin
okay so now i'm going to make you an
amazing mask
this mask is going to be so good and
fluffy this is a really good one i just
messed up
it's called the cloud it's calming
it's natural it will really help
the redness of any kind of a breakout
and to calm the skin
so now that we have the mask on we're
going to use
another ultrasound to kind of push the
buttock into the skin
and also the comb
this is pretty much my life so in
between shawnee doing my face mask
and when i can talk then i'm running
lines because i have two auditions today
and got the sides for them yesterday so
this is
pretty much the only time i can run them
[Music]
okay so what we are going to do is put
you under
the red and blue light for 20 minutes
and this is gonna speed up healing lose
collagen in the skin
give you a glow
[Music]
okay you're all done did you take a
little nap i sure did
i'm going to use a little hyaluronic
acid i love this to give you some
hydration
and also a nice glow and then
what's the last step sunscreen of course
oh my god look at you glowing just got
this shiny darling touch
okay so that is the shawnee darden
facial
and like i said it honestly gets better
like day two it's like a good workout
you're gonna look at me again you
already do thank you so much what would
i do without you
what would i do without you guys number
one in my little black book right here
okay you can't get that number sorry
