- Let's get ready for bed.
So the first thing I'm going to do
is put up my hair.
I really like using a scrunchie at night
because sometimes I like
to preserve my hairstyle from the day
or something like that.
So, I use a scrunchie which is old school but I like it.
So the next thing I'm going to do is wash my face.
I love using the Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser.
I start with this and this actually tends
to take off all of my makeup and kind of dirt
from the day which I like.
I kind of am lazy at night when I get home,
and I kind of just wanna do one step
to get everything off and this tends to do the trick.
Another thing I always do is I always rinse with cold water.
When I rinse with hot water,
it tends to make your face more red and flushed
which is something you definitely don't want.
So, cold water is always better.
So as you can see, that did a pretty good job
of taking everything off which I definitely love.
My face is clean, so that's good.
If I don't get all of my makeup off,
that is when I'll go in with a makeup remover
and kind of go in there but I do tend to try
to stay away from makeup removers only because I don't like
to tug at my skin with these cloths.
I just don't think it helps
so it looks good the next day.
So I try to stay away from that.
But if I need to, I'll do it.
The next step that I do if my skin
is feeling particularly dry or if I have some flaking skin,
which sometimes happens, I will do a mask
which I'm not gonna do right now
'cause I think I'm okay.
I'll do the Summer Fridays Overtime Mask,
the exfoliant one.
I love this one because it has vitamin C in it
and, basically, it smells like pumpkin pie which is awesome
and it just makes my skin really smooth, really soft,
and really glowy so if I need
that extra exfoliation I'll use this.
What I'll do next is my Tretinoin Cream.
This is actually a prescription
that I got from my dermatologist.
I think when I turned 24 or 25 I asked my dermatologist
what am I supposed to be doing?
I feel like I should be doing things to make my skin better,
I'm getting older and she recommended this
but this is actually for acne treatment
which is just bonus points for me,
but I actually use it for anti-aging.
So Tretinoin is actually the
prescription version of Retinol.
Retinol you can get over the counter
and it's in a lot of creams
and cosmetics and stuff like that,
Beware, this will make your skin very dry,
so I will only do this two to three times a week
and after I use it I have to layer on
a lot of moisturizing products,
but this has helped me, I think, with fine lines
and wrinkles, shrunk my pores a bit.
I'm into it, so I do this next.
So I just put this on in a thin layer.
Try to keep it away from the eyes,
and I also bring it down to my neck
because your neck needs love too.
Now that I've applied that,
what I like to do next is go into moisturizing.
So I can already feel that this a little dry,
my face needs some love.
So rosehip oil is amazing 'cause it's really moisturizing
and it has a ton of vitamin C in it
and this is also just pure vitamin C in here.
This is like my little vitamin C cocktail which I love.
Vitamin C is amazing 'cause it helps brighten the skin,
it helps even out skin tone,
it helps with fine lines and wrinkles.
It's awesome and such a multitasking ingredient
which is what I love about it.
So I literally just put it in my hand like that,
and then I take the vitamin C serum.
I don't know if you can see it, but it's literally orange-y.
I try to do upward strokes just
because I feel I like I don't want
to be tugging my skin down,
so I always try to apply my skincare in an upward motion.
I also think that vitamin C serum really helps
with dark circles and just in general I feel like it really
helps with pigmentation and helps even out skin tone
which is another reason why I really like it.
So now that, that is all rubbed in
and it already feels great,
I feel like I'm getting hydrated here.
I'm gonna mix this hyaluronic acid
with this moisturizer here.
This just really helps with moisturizing in general
and I just think it's a great boost.
Then this moisturizer.
I really like both of these together
because I feel like it really helps seal
in all of the moisture.
So the moisturizer is Life Plankton,
it's a sensitive emulsion,
has a really great smell but also Life Plankton,
it sounds like Plankton from the ocean
but it's actually not.
It comes from a spring in France
that apparently it's really good for your skin
and women back in the Middle Ages
were going to this spring
to get this specific ingredient for their skin.
So after all of that I'm gonna put a little bit
of lip balm on, this is Maybelline Baby Lips.
I have this in every single purse.
This is also another product that I feel like
I would want on a deserted island,
like chapped lips is no good.
So I always put this on at night,
I have it in my nightstand, always just use that.
So the next thing I'm going to do
is gonna give my brows and my lashes a little bit of love.
I have mentioned this on my YouTube channel as well,
but I am trying to get my eyebrows sand my eyelashes
to grow so badly.
I'm really trying to do this every single night
so I put castor oil, which I got this at Whole Foods,
you can kind of get it anywhere, on my lashes and my brows.
I just take a Q-tip and I dip it in.
And I kind of press it into my brows
and I actually do think that this has made a difference
particularly with my eyelashes
which is exciting but I just really want that energy
to transfer to my brows,
but that is yet to happen.
I wanna wake up with eyebrows like Cara Delevingne,
like that's just a dream of mine
but I don't think that's gonna happen,
but here's to trying.
And I put it on my lash line as well.
For my final step I am breaking out a little bit right now
in my chin area so something that I like to do
is add a little bit of tea tree oil to some spots
that I see are breaking out.
It does also make your skin a little bit dry,
but it is great sometimes
if you are breaking out somewhere
or if I do have a specific spot
'cause it kind of just dries out that area.
So I'm just gonna apply this to my chin area
'cause I am breaking out a little bit here.
So that is my final step.
That is my full bedtime, nighttime skincare routine.
So it's time to go to bed.
Thank you guys for watching.
