(alarm chiming)
- I usually like to stay in bed as long as possible.
I am not a morning person.
Good morning, I'm Winnie Harlow.
And this is Elle's Waking Up With Me.
On days like today when I have to work,
I try to stretch the time a little bit more in bed.
This is when I like to jump on my phone, check socials,
see who messaged me throughout the night and the morning.
(phone dinging)
See who's hitting me in the morning.
I won't have much time so I'm going to call my assistant
and see what I have to do for the day
and check that she's downstairs and ready
so that we could get it moving.
(phone ringing)
Good morning, Hannah banana.
- [Hannah] Good morning doll, how are ya?
- I'm good babes. Are you downstairs?
- [Hannah] Yes, I am downstairs.
I have your coffee and everything for you
and ready to go over the day.
- Thank you, babes!
I'll see you in a minute.

Welcome to my bathroom.
So this is where the magic really begins.
This is where I prep my skin for the day
whether I'm gonna wear makeup or not.
I like to have glowy healthy skin.
Good healthy skin is a good base for life,
which leads me to my product that I created for skin
to protect skin and also to be healthy
and make your skin look glowy.
A lot of the products have SPF in them
which I am religiously wearing all the time
but I couldn't really find a product that I loved,
something that didn't give me a grey cast.
So I had to create something that was going to
make me look glowy and not ghostly
for all the girls and the guys around the world.
I start by brushing my teeth.
I don't want you guys smelling this morning breath.
(water running)
I'm a very thorough teeth brusher.
Minty fresh.
Now I go in with my skincare.
I'm gonna start off by washing my face.
I'm not very picky on cleansers, 'cause I'm still
trying to figure out what cleanser that I really love.
There are a lot of good ones though.
This one smells really good.
This is by Image Skincare.
(water splashing)
Always pat your skin dry, never rub.
Wrinkles are welcome, but not by force, okay?
In the nighttime, I would usually go in with a toner
but in the daytime I try to keep it more light and fresh,
so I go in with my serum.
This one is a hydrating serum.
And pat it in and rub up.
All right, now my face is feeling nice and hydrated,
I want to make sure that I'm protecting my skin as well.
So I'm gonna go in with Isle Glow from Cay Skin.
I'm gonna go ahead and rub it into my skin.
And I just love how healthy it makes my skin look.
Do you see that?
Get that, get that, get in there.
You see that glow?
When I don't wear makeup, I still like to do my brows
just because it kind of pulls the face together.
You know, you don't wanna look sickly,
you wanna look healthy.
Brush my brows up 'cause I like them to be fluffy.
And then I'm gonna take my favorite brow pencil
that's discontinued, so I bought it in bulk.
It's by L'Oreal.
L'Oreal, please bring this eyebrow pencil back.
And I'm just gonna fill in the sparse areas
with this pencil, I'm not gonna go too crazy.
Extend the tail of the brow
and put some strokes right in the front.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
The next step, sticking to hydration,
is making sure my lips are kissable and soft at all times.
So I also created a lip product that also has SPF
but is so hydrating, non-sticky, and it smells so good.
(sighs)
I just want to eat the whole tube.
So soft, so buttery, but still that perfect little shine
for the days that you don't want to put on lipstick
but you still want that oomph.
And now that my face is done,
I'm going to put the same attention I put into it
into my body with my Isle Body Oil by Cay Skin.
I had a really bad experience on set a few years back
where I was doing a beach shoot.
And I was told not to reapply sun care
or skin care to my body,
but I kind of understood where they were coming from
because I didn't want, as well as they didn't want,
that blue ghostly cast on my skin.
But it resulted in me getting so badly burnt
that I had to have doctors come and give me injections
for inflammation and for pain.
It was really, really bad.
So I wanted to create a line of skincare and sun care
that was going to be good for your skin
but still looks so beautiful on your skin.
My mom always kept me really well protected from the sun.
Obviously I have vitiligo
and I don't have melanin in certain places in my body.
So I'm not protected from the sun
in those areas where there's no melanin.
This is something that obviously is really dear to my heart.
All right, last but not least.
Before I get out the bathroom,
I need to figure out what's going on under this bonnet.
I sleep in this bonnet to protect my hair.
Always wear a silk bonnet or sleep on a silk pillowcase.
It's good for your hair, it's good for your skin.
Here comes the reveal.
Okay. Not too bad, but she could use a little zhuzhing.
I wear wigs, girl, so.
Curly hair, straight hair, blonde hair,
red hair, all the hair.
This is my favorite hair to have because it's super easy.
I just wet it, put some product in, and then I brush it out.
Get all those tangles out and define the curls.
I'm way more rough with my wigs than I am my natural hair
because I can't replace my hair.
I have to grow it, but this, I can buy back.
So I'm pretty rough. I'm pretty quick.
It's really easy to deal with.
Boom, she's ready for the day.
Thank you guys so much for waking up with me.
I can't wait for you guys to try my new product, Cay Skin,
and fall in love with it the same way that I have.
Bye!
