- Hi, I'm Christina Hendricks.
Are you ready to go to bed with me?
(funky music)
So, I am a bath taker.
I am not a shower taker.
I know it seems very strange to a lot of people,
but this is something that my whole life I've done,
and so, because I have very early call times in the morning,
I usually try to do my bathing the night before,
get as ready as possible, because come 5:30, six a.m.,
I do not want to waste any time.
I want every last second of sleep.
One of my favorite shampoos that I use,
I have fine hair and I also color my hair.
I color my hair myself at home,
so I'm always using different things to help sort of
keep the longevity of my color.
And so this is a really nice volumizing, very light shampoo.
This is called Leonor Greyl.
Very sort of neutral smelling,
and it keeps my hair really bouncy,
it doesn't weigh it down.
So that's what I always use.
I've discovered this new conditioner called Seen.
This is also, it says it's designed by a dermatologist,
but what I find is that it's just really, really light,
doesn't weigh my hair down, I can use it daily.
And then, at the end, when I get out,
in order to keep my color as fresh as possible,
I've been using this Aveda Color Conserve.
And you put just like, a little dime of it on and
zhuzh it all around and you get sort of like a sunscreen
for your hair color.
Reds fade really, really quickly,
so anything to sort of keep it as long as possible,
because each time you color it,
it gets a little drier and it's just nice to have it
last as long as absolutely possible.
So, I do my nightly bath, which helps me
sort of unwind and relax anyway,
and before I get out and start my skin regimen,
I have been using, dun-dun-da-dum,
the light mask.
I'm gonna see if I can turn it on and
you can see the lights.
So this is for
wrinkles,
acne, inflammation.
Put this on for three minutes.
Does it work?
I hope so.
But more than anything, it's sort of warming and calming.
And although three minutes doesn't seem like
a really long time, when you just give yourself
three minutes to not do anything, not look at your phone,
not look at the time, it just is this,
it just makes you sit still,
and I feel like it's just a really nice way for me to
unwind and get ready to go to sleep.
And I'm just absolutely sure that I'm
getting younger with it as well. (chuckles)
So,
I wear a lot of eye makeup each day for work,
and I tend to have dry skin, and I find that
a lot of products can be a little bit abrasive,
and just even from rubbing day after day
that I find my skin can get red or splotchy,
so I've been using this Elemis.
It says White Flowers Eye and Lip Makeup Remover,
and it does take off your lip and eye,
but it's one of the few things that I feel like
takes it off in one full swoop,
instead of rubbing and rubbing and rubbing.
I start at the eyebrow
and just really, see how much it comes off at once?
And that was a cat eye, girl, that was a cat eye.
And just really brush down on the lashes,
and then I always make sure I brush up,
'cause a lot of that hides underneath your eye.
And I don't have to press very hard either because
it's like an oil base.
I think that's why it is so soothing on my dry skin.
It doesn't seem to dry me out.
So, one thing that, I don't know
if I learned it through years of
modeling or acting or just from
getting facials throughout the years,
but I don't necessarily do the same thing every evening.
I really sort of try to look at my skin
and read it that day.
Sometimes it's a little bit more dry,
sometimes it feels a little bit oily,
sometimes I've got a pimple, sometimes I've got
a patch of dry skin, I have all those things today.
I'm gonna show you Elemis again, because this is,
I never even knew this existed.
It is a cleansing balm, and it's rose again,
I just love rose.
I think I'm even surrounded by rose colors.
So it has a beautiful smell.
But,
you scoop it out,
and it's got a real
creamy gel, lovely
feeling to it.
So I just do a little scoop
and just put it all
over, and kinda
let it sit there and kinda dissolve
all of this makeup on my skin for a little bit.
And that's when I get my hot water going.
(water running)
So, sometimes I'm absolutely exhausted
after a long work day,
and I'm tempted
to not wash my face.
And sometimes, I give myself a little treat
and I'll grab what I think are great,
are the Burt's Bees makeup wipes
that I just get at Walgreens or whatever drugstore.
'Cause I think they do a really good job, and honestly,
sometimes I think it's okay to have a little something
on my skin because I am so dry that rubbing it
over and over and over isn't always the best.
So every once in a while, I just
allow myself to use a wipe, and they do a really nice job.
But, for the most days, I like to really get it off
because I have to start this process all again tomorrow,
layer more makeup and
lots and lots of wiping and
adding and applying and all these things.
If I'm feeling like maybe my face is a little bit drier,
and I feel just like you want a little bit of an exfoliant,
I really love this Fresh Strawberry.
It's a face wash and it has a consistency like the gel,
but it's also got little granules in it.
So it smells delicious, I love Fresh.
I just think that everything smells like
it could be from your garden, and it's just always yummy
and I wanna eat it at the same time.
So that's another option that I also use
for a little bit more of a exfoliator.
I like to do often this Mario Badescu.
This is facial spray with aloe, herbs, and rosewater,
more of my rose.
And (bottle spraying) honestly, I keep this when I'm
outside, when it's hot, I go on holidays with this.
I'm constantly leaning over to my friends and saying,
"Close your eyes, it feels so good," and I spray everyone
with this, so this is just like a go-to, wonderful,
refreshing thing to have.
It's really, really nice when you get off a plane.
It just makes you feel clean and fresh.
And then,
I like to use, this is a,
it calls itself a Rose Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum.
I have never found another product like this before.
It is serum, but I shake it up.
And, it also has
a little bit, can you see that?
Of an oil.
So, I've used other serums, and I love them, too.
I love a serum in general.
But what I love about this
is I put it on every morning before I go to Good Girls,
and my makeup artist says that the makeup lays
really, really well on top of it.
And it just gives a, it's not a thick moisturizer.
So that way, when she gets going on my face,
she also adds another moisturizer.
She'll use an embryolisse and put it under my makeup.
But, I could go to bed without anything else on top of that
because it does give a nice sort of plump
feeling to your skin.
But, because I am very dry,
this is when I would choose to either use
a moisturizer or an oil.
And while I'm working, I do like to use
an oil in the evening.
And I love this Julie Hewett Camellia Oil.
Little squeeze.
And put it all everywhere, all the way down my neck.
Retta also uses the Julie Hewett Camellia Oil.
Julie Hewett is our makeup artist on Good Girls,
but she's also a genius makeup artist
with her own line, and she's worked with everyone
under the planet, she's done everyone's makeup,
so she really knows what she's talking about.
I didn't even know Retta used it as well,
but apparently she does, so it's a little Good Girls trick.
Now, I don't know if this is 'cause I stole this
from my brother when he was a teenager
and he was getting acne for the first time
or where I found it, but,
this is, saves the day.
I get it at any drugstore, or I order it online.
And the reason it works so well is
it's benzoyl peroxide gel.
And I have been using it since I was a kid.
But I'm gonna put it on my spot,
'cause no picking at your spots.
No picking at your spots, it's only gonna make it worse.
So this is what I use when I feel like
it's under the skin.
Although, I really do love those little
acne stickers as well,
which I'm out of 'cause I use them so often.
But any of those little acne stickers
that you just peel off and put on,
I think they work really quite well.
But I use this on my skin if I feel like
there's something underneath the skin.
And then, if I feel like there's something
a little bit more on the surface,
I love to use a Q-tip and you dip it into this
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion.
Kinda looks like calamine lotion when it's on your face.
And then, I like to do things sort of maybe once a week
or every other week to sort of back up
the stuff I do on a nightly basis.
One of my favorite things is this
Olga Lorencin
Ageless Facial Mask.
You put the first one on,
and you just let it sink into your skin
and then you follow up with the second one,
you don't have to wash it off.
Leave it overnight, and I promise you,
my skin is like, radiant afterwards.
I just feel like it's a much heavier cream,
so I don't use it every night.
But it's just absolutely beautiful
and it's sort of like a little special treat
that I do a couple times a month.
One other thing I like to do is these little,
the ceramide capsules from Elizabeth Arden.
And I break 'em open.
I usually use my teeth.
And then I just do a little rubbing up.
It says to rub up, why not?
Why bring it down?
And
it's got this really silky, nice texture to it.
And I let that sink in.
Bring it all the way down.
And then,
I go to bed.
Thank you so much for being here while I get ready for bed,
and please come check us out on NBC.
Watch Good Girls Sundays at 10.
Thanks for coming.
Goodnight.
