- Your skin
is my #skingoals.
So soft and luminous.
(light music)
Okay, "Come to Bed with Me" is the invitation,
but let's not get crazy.
So first thing I discovered in Los Angeles a while ago,
is this Dr. Alkaitis cleanser.
It's one of those cleansers that when you do it
and you wash it off your face squeaks 'cause it's so clean.
I like squeak.
I like to massage it in.
Then I rinse it,
or wipe it off with a cloth.
Hold on.
And while I'm rinsing,
I have always used this Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
from Body Shop for 20 years.
When Anita Roddick was alive
and Body Shop in the '90s was super popular.
And so I've used, (laughs)
a lot of eyelashes coming out here.
They're not real, nobody worry.
So I've used a ton of different
eye makeup removers over the years.
This one's great because when it gets in your eyes,
it invariably does,
it doesn't sting.
Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.
And it feels like water, so there's no oily residue.
And, thankfully, it hasn't been discontinued.
Almost everything I love product-wise gets discontinued.
And then I cry myself to sleep.
Okay makeup free for reals.
Not the fake makeup free, but the real makeup free.
I think grooming is a massive part of self-care.
So before I do it, I may feel kind of off,
and then as soon as I get into this ritual, if I have time,
it does literally give me a boost self esteem-wise,
just that I'm worthy enough of caring about my skin,
and worthy enough of taking the two minutes,
22 minutes, 12 minutes, whatever it is,
to clean and to care.
I use this probably once a month
when I feel my skin getting kind of ready,
and I can literally feel the thickness
of the dead skin on the top layer.
So I do this before cleansing.
Just put a little amount.
It smells like alcohol a little bit,
so you know there's alcohol.
What happens with this is that as you rub it on your skin,
it exfoliates.
You can't really see it,
but there's a bunch of dead skin that I can feel.
It feels like this is a scrub right now.
I just keep going until I have exfoliated
as much of the top layer of dead skin as I can.
And then I cleanse that off.
I never really feel totally cleansed
until I clean my face twice.
Another cleanser that I love is the Brightening Cleanser
by Indie Lee.
It's got that same hyper cleansing effect
where your skin squeaks a little bit
when you're done cleansing.
Circular motion. (laughs)
You can do squares and rectangles too,
I don't really think it matters.
Okay.
Supes clean.
People ask me how to take care of my skin once in a while,
and I'll just say clean, oiled.
Okay, I'll be right back.
So Tammy Fender products I discovered a few years ago
because I got pregnant with my first son
and I wanted to use products,
anything I put on my skin goes in my bloodstream
kind of understanding,
so I wanted to use products that were all really clean.
Lord knows I still use products that have things
in it that I can't pronounce.
But over the years,
I've just sort of progressively gotten rid of products
with this long list of ingredients in the back.
This is the Epi-Peel.
We don't want to mess with the oceans with those beads
inside a lot of exfoliators.
So these are ocean safe.
Sometimes when I use them
it almost feels like it generates heat.
And I think part of the charm of scrub,
besides removing dead skin cells,
is also that the blood runs.
Take care of the little micro, micro-violence (chuckles),
micro skin hurtings.
There's a real word for that,
but I can't think of it right now.
So really rubbing it all in.
Neck, (speaking in foreign language).
I thought it was (speaking in foreign language).
But it's (speaking in foreign language).
Okay, and then I wash this off.
Be right back.
BRB.
When I am on the road
and I'm falling asleep sitting up like a horse
'cause I'm so tired or I'm just at home,
and I have no time to clean to this degree, I use these.
It's from a woman named Narayan.
And I got it in Ojai, California at a farmer's market,
but she's online.
I sort of intermittently spray myself with some spritzers.
This is one of my favorite 11 11 Sacred Rose Water
Aura Cleansing Mist by Logan Hollowell.
I also do this at night, certainly for skin,
but it's good for when I'm super hormonal.
It's just so nice.
And then I like it, I mean,
I don't know if it's smoke and mirrors,
but I like the idea of just intermittently spraying
once in a while,
just to kind of lock the moisture in between products.
The other spray that I enjoy using
is Eminence Organic Skincare, the Stone Crop Hydrating Mist.
There's something about this smell that,
well, it's Hungarian, first of all, and I'm 50% Hungarian,
and this company was started two years
after my mom escaped during the 1956 revolution.
And she and her family were going to go to Australia
but my grandpa stepped out for a cigarette,
missed the boat, literally,
and when he came back in the only place that they could go
while they were escaping was to Canada.
So I have a cigarette to thank for my life.
I am not condoning cigarette smoking,
but Hungarian Stone Crop Mist, amazing smell,
and (mist spritzes)
my girlfriend and I keep it in our purses
and spray each other,
'cause that's real sisterhood.
So I do love Vintner's Daughter.
This is the Active Treatment Essence,
and this is the Active Botanical Serum.
The Essence, you can feel it tingling on the skin
where the tiny, tiny dermabrasion parts are from the scrubs.
So I throw the Essence on,
or rather languorously applied.
And then I do the Vintner's Daughter Serum on top of it.
And this smell
is (inhales deeply)
amazing.
Complicated, but not overwhelming.
Something I noticed about products
that are really expensive,
a lot of the times there's a secret illuminator in it.
And we wonder why our face is glowing,
it's because there's an eliminator in it.
The great thing about oil is that you have that kind
of shiny, dewy, youthful, vital thing without any glitter,
although I am a big fan of glitter.
Use any time and not sparingly.
One of my favorite eye creams is actually
the ISUN Peptide Eye Cream.
I only have a tester right now because I ran out of it.
This one feels great.
For me it's about how things smell, certainly,
how effective they are in what they say they'll do,
but also how they feel
and do they absorb into the skin well?
A little pet peeve action for me
is when I put moisturizer on,
it just sits on the top layer of your skin
and it somehow doesn't penetrate.
Sometimes that's just because my skin is so dirty
that there's nowhere for the product to penetrate into,
but sometimes it's because the product itself
just doesn't have a an absorption thing going on.
But this one,
that's another good smell.
So the peptide ISUN eye cream definitely a fave.
I also use the Cucumber Rose,
Penny Francis Apothecary eye serum,
if I'm in a rush and I just want to do a little.
Sometimes I'll do this after my makeup too,
where makeup will be on,
and then I'll just do a tiny bit of oil around my eyes,
just to smidgy,
just to get that kind of reflective dewiness
that we're chasing so much.
See naturally here,
very organically I would just be spraying my face again.
Oh, that's so good.
11 11.
My number is actually 1234.
I see 12:34 a.m. and p.m. 10 times a month.
I have a couple of other favorites that I won't use
because then my face will be so oily,
but this is a huge favorite of mine.
African Botanics Neroli Infused Marula Oil.
Yeah.
So I would put this on as well.
I know that there have been many teachings
over the years to kind of stick with one
main set of products.
I have never been able to do that because I'm high novelty,
and I need variety.
When something works it I'll use it forever, decades,
but I like to mix in new things,
just to shock or surprise my skin into submission.
Oh, sorry, what did I just put on there?
Tata Harper.
This is the, that's the French side,
I can do the French side.
(speaking in foreign language)
Which means eliminating moisturizer with diamond radiance.
But this is great under makeup or on its own.
And it has a nice little reflection
with lights on the stage or otherwise sunlight even.
So another fan favorite, i.e. me, loving,
is the Marula Neroli Serum Concentrate Elasticity.
I think there's a theme here.
Neroli, huge fan of neroli.
So this one, once again too,
it's just how the product feels on your skin.
It's a multi-sensual experience.
I also like to cover the top part of my lip,
'cause when I'm doing this all day, (laughs)
it needs a break.
Lips!
Classic Burt's Bees, mint, peppermint.
I use this onstage, in bed, all the time.
If I'm not up for the mint five, which is never,
'cause I love mint,
I will sometimes use the Osmia.
Am I pronouncing it properly?
Lip Doctor.
Oh, that's good.
Ooh, that's good.
Shea butter in that, I can taste it.
And then I always put oil on at night.
Something about jumping in bed
and my whole bed smelling like lavender and yumminess.
There's chakra oils from Living Libations.
Nadine Artemis has been my essential oil mentor
since I was 18 or 19, I think I met you, Nadine.
Anyway, she's the real deal.
Freaks me out how talented and how savant-like she is.
But this is the Third Eye in the Chakra Synergy Blends,
and I'll put it anywhere.
You know, they always say trigger point.
Trigger points are points, meridian points.
I just put it anywhere I want basically.
And then I have a bunch of sprays
that I spray all over my bed and sometimes I just pour oil,
so that I jump into the bed
and it's just smells like a giant spa.
But I think that's it.
Let me think if there's anything else that I do at night.
I mean, (laughs) there's a lot of things I do,
but skin wise,
no.
Thanks.
