1 Year Updated Skincare Routine: Am I Still Not Using Facewash??
hi everyone its reality welcome back to my channel I’m so excited to make this video because it is long overdue if you watch this video you’ve probably seen my how I stopped using face wash to clear my skin and I got a lot of comments asking me to do an updated video asking do I still not use face wash because that video was posted like a year and I think six or five months five or six months ago so people were asking me if I still don’t use face wash um how my skin looks now um and a bunch of other questions some other questions that I got was like how do I not use face wash and wear makeup how do I remove my makeup people were kind of still wondering about moisturizing my skin and face masks and stuff like that so I’m gonna jump into I’m just gonna do a skincare routine that I currently use now and I will be answering the question all those questions and I’ll also be answering the question if I still don’t use face wash or not so let’s jump into the video so I really wanted to show you guys what my skin looked like a long time ago um maybe a couple years ago when I first embarked on my journey of trying to clear my skin and it’s definitely made my confident to go down in the past it made my confidence go down when my skin was really bad I just think I’m a totally different person now compared to when I had really bad acne I’ll show you guys a picture right now that kind of like exemplifies how bad my acne was so if you look at this picture you can tell that I had just like a severe scarring I would get cystic acne everywhere and I try to combat it in a lot of different ways like I talked about my last video I mean I think I try just about everything so this was like the last try and it actually ended up being the best thing I ever did was to stop using face wash because when I stopped using face wash I think I made my skin figure out how to work out the problem right like when I got acne if you throw on a product I feel like you’re kind of manipulating the process of your body healing and your it’s like synthetically healing itself so when that acne comes again your your skin may get worse if you don’t use the product because therefore your skin doesn’t know how to your body doesn’t know how to come back that situation so when you take away that fake helper like base wash and stuff like that your body has to figure out how am I going to get rid of this acne because your body wants to be healthy it’s not like your body wants to be unhealthy doesn’t want to have acne and stuff like that it wants to be as healthy as possible but if you don’t give your face your body time to heal something on its own how is it ever going to know how I really recommend using this regimen if you are struggling with acne I know some acne can be genetic and it can be super severe and you have to use products which I totally understand but if you ever want to do a detox of those products I would go ahead and just use this regimen just to give your skin some time to just like chill and yeah okay so let’s jump in to the video okay so I wanted to touch on this was one of the biggest questions was if you wear makeup so I will start with the first product that I use in general I will be using my simple micellar water which this is how you know I really use this because there’s like nothing left I don’t really have any left thankfully I used most of this on my lip my makeup that I wore last night so that’s what you would use to remove your makeup you would just use the micellar water to remove makeup and you would use it even if you don’t have makeup on just to clean the oils and stuff off your skin but this is a perfect perfect makeup remover it works just like any other makeup remover to me it works even better I know in my last video I told you guys that I use cotton pads I do so times it can be kind of inconvenient to always use cotton pads it’s just not realistic for me using them twice a day they can run out fast so if you just have a nice clean dry towel where it’s pretty sanitary it’s a little dry and crusty and I would use just like your cotton towel so what I do is I just squirt some of my micellar water on there and I gently we make sure that you are getting the size of your skin because that is really important especially if you use product on like your edges and just your hair in general that product can like migrate to this part of your skin and clog your pores so I always make sure that I even get the hair right there because this is again this just purified water so it’s not going to like kill or like damage your hair I love this stuff so much okay I also wanted to mention that I know I have a scar pimple right here and the reason for this video now I could have waited until it went away but that’s just like so fake and unrealistic I get um I won’t get acne when I get the time of the month so this is why I have a pimple here I still have my L’Oreal face mask that I talked about in my last video which I love so much this is the clay mask and as you can see it’s like gone a lot of my stuff is gone because I use it a lot but I also added this L’Oreal other it’s a Kiwi sugar scrub mask which I love it’s smells so delicious like it makes you want to eat your own face it’s not so good so here’s a good tip if you wear makeup so since I wore makeup last night I am going to use my clay mask because the clay mask will really get into my pores and clean my pores out and also shed any dead skin that other scrub masks will really just hydrate my skin and give my skin some good nutrients so I will take a flat brush that I used to put on my masks all the time I use the same brush and I’ll just dip in here you I don’t really put it on my cheeks because my cheeks are so sensitive that I could actually like break out from putting something on there so I try to avoid putting it on my cheeks and like I said in my other video don’t treat your skin like it’s bad so if you don’t get acne there then you don’t need to go put any product right there you don’t have to so I’ve added another product to my regimen and you know I’m not scared of the generic brand I love me a good generic brand for a really good price um this is a product by ELF it is a brown sugar and I think it’s brown sugar and charcoal or something but it’s a sugar scrub that goes on your lips well you should be using this throughout the week so you don’t build up like dead skin in your your lips always look like juicy and balumptuous’ so this was at Walmart for I think one or two dollars and I’m just going to add this on top of my lips while I let my make my masks sit on my skin and do its work for about eight or nine minutes the first thing I’ll do is lick my lips and then I’ll go ahead and lightly scrub them with this sugar scrub then I’ll rinse this off in white a little bit so the next product that I’m going to use when I rinse off my mask is this sensitive skin and by Neutrogena I know the last video I had the generic brand but I don’t know why away and bought the name brand because it doesn’t really matter I think I just wanted to try like this sensitive skin one in general because they have combination skin dry skin oily skin so I wanted to try the one that was like targeted percentage of skin but you know I love me a good oil-free moisturizer I can’t use anything else nothing else works for me and it has to be unscented so make sure your moisturizers are at least oil free and unscented because that is really going to make a huge difference in your skin so don’t do is all lightly dampen my fingers and then you I’ll put some on my wrist and then I will use my tap method where I just tap it and their focal points of my skin I did add one more product to my skincare routine because it is winter it’s so important to keep your skin moisturized when you keep your skin moisturize so keeping your skin dry actually makes your face breakout because your skin is over producing oil to substitute for the moisturization that it clogs your pores and gives you acne so it’s important to keep a little more moisturizer on your face whenever it is winter time and your skin is going to be drier faster I really love to use cocoa butter formula it’s kind of like a has the same texture as Vaseline and I use it a lot that’s why it’s almost gone like everything else and what I do is also if you have super oily skin I would probably not use this or just like add an extra layer of moisturizer because this one’s pretty thick but I have sensitive skin and it works just fine for me it actually keeps a really pretty glow on my face um so start by putting it on my lips and then I’ll spread it over my face just a very thin layer so that is the last step to my skincare routine you could add something like a rose water mist or that Mario Badescu mist that mist that I really like a lot I just don’t have any I’m just to give your skin a little spritz of hydration but other than that you don’t have to do too much this is just enough to get you through the day and you can use this skin care routine at nighttime recommend using this twice a day so when you wake up and before you go to sleep I think I kind of answered everyone’s questions if I saw in the comments if you have any other questions please feel free to comment them if you have any other video recommendations that you want me to do please put those in the comments as well because I want to do more videos for you all but other than that thank you so much for watching this video I really appreciate you guys’s interactions on my last video and I hope that everyone that wanted to see this video gets to see it so thank you so much and I’ll see you guys in the next video
