Hey so when I filmed my favorites video
the other day I meant to that I'm going
to be doing a skincare routine so
welcome to that video I'm going to be
showing you guys all the things I use to
take care of my skin I have been using
this routine for about six months now I
would say this past year has just been
lots of experimentation for me
I've been trying to find the perfect
skincare routine that keeps my skin
fresh moisturized and just feeling
healthy now that I'm 31 and I'm going to
be 31 in a month I'm really just trying
to like keep the moisture in my skin and
keep it looking like plump and fresh and
I think I have finally found a routine
that does that that I am extremely happy
with so I'm very happy to share it with
you guys today I should probably tell
you that my skin is I would call it
combination I do have really oily days
but every once in a while all have like
dry patches on my chin and this area
here and I do get occasional breakouts
usually when it's that time of the month
I'll get lots of like hormonal pimples
around here but other than that my skin
is pretty much acne free I had a period
in my life I think about eight or nine
years where I had really bad acne like
the before picture of a Proactiv
commercial it was really bad really bad
cystic acne it was really upsetting for
me I really hated how I look but ever
since I turned about 26 27 my skin is
started looking better and like I said
the acne is cleared up I do have
scarring along here from when my skin
was bad but with makeup you can barely
see it so I'm very happy with how my
skin has been recently anyways let's get
started and I'll show you guys how I
take care of my skin
first I'll tie my hair up in a ponytail
and use this cat hair band to keep my
hair off my face if I'm wearing heavy
makeup I'll use these elf cleansing
cloths to get the majority of my makeup
off before I wash my face what I really
like about them is they have this
resealable sticker on the inside so that
the package doesn't dry out at all then
I'll wet my face with some water and
I've been using the Paula's Choice skin
balancing oil reducing cleanser it's
really gentle on
your skin it doesn't foam or dry out
your skin at all I found so I just
massage that gently around my face and
pretty good for a moving makeup but if
you are wearing a lot I do recommend
doing a double step with the makeup
removing wipes or something and then I
take out my favorite paste scrub let the
good times roll by lush smells amazing I
take a little scoop on my hand and add a
little bit of warm water to it to make a
paste and then I just gently massage
that around my face using circular
motions this will make your skin so
smooth guys I cannot recommend this
enough I absolutely love it next I'll
use this whitening power essence by cost
rx don't be scared by the whitening in
the name it really doesn't whiten your
skin or anything I find that it just
evens out the tone of your skin and
reduces redness which is great because I
really have a problem with redness in my
skin I'll just pop that around
everywhere around the eye area as well
next up is my Claire's rich moist
soothing serum this serum is really good
for calming your skin and cooling it
down once you apply this to your skin
your skin actually cools down by a few
degrees they did some tests I think it's
really cool but you can really feel it
it's really calming and relaxing on your
skin again it adds a little bit more
moisture to it as well bring it down on
the neck if you have any excess and next
is the Claire's rich moist soothing
cream an amazing moisturizer guys really
simple doesn't have a strong fragrance
or anything keeps your skin super fresh
feeling all day and it absorbs nicely
it's not oily at all I'm in love with
this moisturizer really recommend it to
anyone really
if I'm having a super oily skin day or
if it's a really humid day outside I
will use this oil free lotion by cos rx
instead of my other moisturizer I'm
running low here but let's see if I can
squeeze some out to show you guys nope
time for the chopstick it's a really
light moisturizer great for days when
you don't really need too much moisture
in your skin did I mention that it
smells like Cola gummy candy because it
smells like Cola gummy candy and it is
really nice and that's everything I do
for my face let's move on to body care
this is the body scrub that I use in the
shower everyday it's made with a
combination of nutshells
cacao seed butter and some oils so it's
really gentle on your skin definitely
okay to use everyday I just massage this
around my entire body and it gets rid of
dead skin smooths out your skin and it
leaves you smelling amazing it reminds
me of summer it kind of smells like
panning oil like a nice tropical scent
really nice if I feel like my body needs
some moisture I'll use dream cream by
lush this is a really heavy moisturizer
it is slightly oily so it's definitely
not something that I like using on my
hands because it takes a while to sink
in but I find it really great for the
body it keeps my body moisturized for
quite a while I find that the effects
don't fade quickly at all which is
really nice and that is my skin care
routine you have you guys found that
helpful wishtrend is freakin awesome and
they set up a special box deal for my
viewers where you can get five of the
products that I use in my skincare
routine for an amazing price I'm really
happy they did that for me cuz it's
really cool that you guys can get to
test out these things for a pretty cheap
price if you're interested in them and
I'm so happy with them and I'm so happy
to share them with you I really really
do recommend them because they have
helped me tremendously and I think I'm
going to be using this routine for a
long time unless my skin does some like
drastic change and I got a switch out of
it but I'm so happy with it at the
moment if you guys have used any of the
products that I mentioned in this video
please do share your experiences
I'm down in the comments what you like
or dislike about them how they work for
you what type of skin you have I feel
like skin products work differently for
everybody and it really depends on the
type of skin you have so if you guys
could leave your experiences with the
products if you have used any of them
just so everyone else can get a really
balanced view of how they work that
would be really awesome and I will see
you guys soon thank you so much for
watching
