CURRENT SKINCARE ROUTINE! Smooth & Glowing Skin + Reduce Acne Scarring
all right so today I’m sharing with you
guys my current skincare routine
2020 what I’ve been doing for a while
now my last game care routine video was
about a year ago now which is wild so I
wanted to just update you guys with what
I’ve been using the help smooth out
texture help with redness if you’re new
here I went on accutane a few years ago
now my skin is dry and I have acne
scarring and some texture and stuff that
I just try and work on and get rid of I
just tested out a bunch of makeup that I
was playing around with so some some of
my makeup is looking a little
questionable right now but let’s jump
into the bathroom I’m gonna show you
guys what I do to remove my makeup go
through my nighttime skincare routine
but also my morning skincare routine so
this is literally everything I do
everything I use will be linked down
below in the description box but if you
enjoy this video while you’re watching
and find it helpful you can give it a
thumbs up my arm is sore from this
camera you have to do more at home
workouts you know I’m saying if you’re
new here I upload every Monday Wednesday
Friday 6 p.m. Pacific time ok so first
things first I’m gonna put my hair up
just to get out of my face obviously and
I also wanted to say that it’s back on
my old skincare routine video from last
year and I still stand by recommend love
all those products besides one
substitution that I’m going to talk
about so just note that I still do like
all those products I just like to test
different products all the time and see
if I can find ones that are better than
something I’m previously using so if you
want other product recommendations
definitely go back and watch that video
because there are tons of other options
there too
you’re obviously starting out with the
nighttime routine so makeup Sun after a
day so I always double cleanse I used
cleansing balm or cleansing oil and then
a facial cleanser one my current
favorite cleansing balms that is very
affordable is the good molecules instant
cleansing balm I did a whole video on
cleansing bones like reviews good ones
bad one so I’m gonna link that in the ID
down below but this I discovered after
that video and this is definitely at the
tosses like definitely in my top 2 for
cleansing balms
I do have other cleansing oils and stuff
in my shower that I’ll like switch
between use up I love the fourth ray the
FD cleansing oil that’s
they’re good affordable one if you like
more of a like a pump oil rather than a
bomb but this thing is amazing
at removing all of your makeup like
waterproof mascara eye products
everything liquid lipstick I use that
much might be a lot might be too much
but that’s about how much I use I should
do a video on my favorite cleansing
products like oils and balms because
even after the cleansing balm video I
did there’s still other ones I haven’t
talked about as much that I love and
that are super effective so I like doing
my lips last just because I don’t wanna
be like rubbing liquid lipstick all over
my face or any kind of lipstick this
one’s actually normal lipstick today but
you can feel the mascara and stuff like
breaking down when you go over this and
I just work it into the skin gently rub
you can feel the mascara like flaking
off the stuff doesn’t irritate my eyes
there are a lot of oils and balms
irritate my eyes and burn them this one
does not a tripod is in front of my
bathroom sink right now so I’m gonna go
rinse this off in a different thing so
right at the end right before I rinse it
off that will go over mm-hmm
okay so I just rinsed off here’s my skin
now that the makeup is cleaned off and
if you have a tiny bit of mascara or
anything the next step that I do is
gonna get all that off but for the most
part it basically takes off everything I
do have like a little bug bite right
here it’s not as it’s like an itchy but
by right now great timing for a skincare
video Thank You bug for your gift to the
world and I shower at night so I usually
do both of these steps in the shower but
then I go in with a facial cleanser so I
love the savvy hydrating cleanser I
mentioned that my last video that’s like
my all-time favorite one this is
basically a dupe for it except you can
go over your eyes with this one and it
helps remove makeup too this is the
Colerain la roche-posay derma cleanser
everything about this reminds
almost exactly of the Sara b1 so I feel
like you don’t need to spend the money
on this just get this everyone I just
had this in my collection and I’m almost
out of it like halfway done with that
two-thirds done so I just want to use
this one up but I do actually already
have a backup of the hydrating cleanser
gets off any excess makeup if I have any
so I’ll just use give me a tiny bit of
this it’s like I said normally I’ll do
this in the shower but I’m just gonna
wet my face real quick since it’s now
dry and going with this
it feels very milky and smooth and
hydrating exactly like the survey one
doesn’t burn my eyes you can like open
your eyes fully well this is on doesn’t
burn and I feel like this one leaves my
skin are really nice and hydrated
just kidding random – you feel like a
bald dude right now I got a little wet
to pull a shower I was washing my face
off so I use a chemical exfoliant mostly
and then about once a week or twice a
week I’ll use a physical exfoliant so
this is the Kate Somerville exfoliate
I’ll use this in the shower a couple
times a week it just if I feel like I
need a little bit of a scrub it’s not
too intense there aren’t like big beads
in it it’s a very gentle exfoliator it
does have a very potent like natural
kind of scent but if you get it in your
mouth it’s super sour so don’t taste
this so there are two steps and two
products that I feel like are crucial
like that make the most difference on my
skin
one is an oil that I’ve talked about for
years that I still use but another is
the polished choice exfoliate I’ve
mentioned this in my raves and rejects
videos it’s a 2% BHA liquid exfoliant
salicylic acid this has made such a
difference on my skin as far as texture
and just getting rid of like the tiny
under the skin bumps it’s made my skin
so much more smooth you can use this
morning and night I always use it at
nighttime every single night now you
might need to like build up to it but it
is pretty gentle since it’s only 2% so
you just put on a little cotton round
and wipe it all over especially on my
forehead and around my nose this makes
such a difference if you have just like
super clogged up skin where you feel
like you need to scrub the crap out of
it try using a chemical exfoliant
instead you will likely see such a
difference and this gives my skin
the most amazing glow as well like right
away but then also when I wake up in the
morning I will forever repurchase this
thing and I got a little bit of makeup
up too which is also bonus just doing
another pass through sometimes with the
paddle get like different areas that I
might have missed with face wash which
is usually like right in here and then
like under my chin is really where I
usually try and not forget and something
I use about once a week maybe twice a
week
I always just look at my skin and think
about what I did the night before and
then just kind of go from there and
decide but this is the pharmacy
honeymoon glow so this is a AJ
resurfacing night serum
it’s pretty intense like it’s not a calm
one like the polished choice its 14%
don’t use this every night this is like
a once a week kind of thing or if you
can build it up to more but for me it’s
basically once a week and also my skin
now is fine using the polished choice
and then going in with this but for a
while like at the beginning when I
started using this I would not put on
the Polish twice first just let you get
your skin used to it because that is
also a betray just put a tiny like dime
sized amount and apply it does have a
tingle I’m gonna put it on and for some
people like when you first start using
it might be more intense
I remember being much more strong when I
first started using this but now for me
it’s not bad like it’s definitely pretty
colorable something that I need to
repurchase that has been out of my
routine for like a couple months now
just because I haven’t repurchased it is
in adapt alene retinol gel so I need to
get back on use in the retinols because
retinol is proven to make a huge
difference in your skin long-term as far
as anti-aging mine was just prescribed
from the dermatologist I’m not going for
moisturizer and from moisturizer I have
one that is my absolute favorite it is
very pricey so just fair warning but you
can almost always get it on sale either
on overstock or other sites for like
half price but it’s the urna lászló for
marine eye cream I’ve mentioned this
on my channel I love a fake night cream
I don’t want like a gel I’m not trying
to have some kind of lightweight
situation I like a thick night cream
that when I wake up my skin still feels
and looks like plump and hydrated and
that gives me this and I have noticed a
difference in the texture on my skin
with this guy as well try and savor this
and not use a ton because it is so
pricey if you want a drugstore option
I’ll link it’s terribie one down below
that I used while I was on accutane that
is super thick super moisturizing and
from the drugstore and has good
ingredients and everything but I will
bring this down my neck Tran bring all
my skincare down my neck it does have a
scent it has like a fresh scent I try
and avoid fragrance and products but
this one doesn’t seem to irritate my
skin doesn’t break me out at all and I
just noticed such a difference with this
moisturizer then it’s worth it to me if
you’re looking for a vegan more
affordable option this one is still it’s
buy milk makeup so it’s not like
drugstore pricing like I said I’ll link
the drugstore went down below but if you
want kind of like a middle ground I do
really like this milk makeup vegan milk
moisturizer it’s basically just like a
extremely basic no fuss good thick
moisturizer but it does sink into the
skin this one sinks into the skin more
than this one so if you like a
moisturizer this thick but that like
fully absorbs and leaves time just like
a soft heel milk makeup this one you
might like it does absorb enough that
you could use this in the morning as
well and then last step when I mentioned
the two products that are like Holy
Grail camel without status this is the
other one that I’ve also talked about
for years this got me through accutane
this helped my acne scarring moister
everything this is like I will bow down
to you it’s the ordinary 100% organic
cold-pressed rosehip oil there’s one
thing that hi is just transformed my
skin over the years since being off
accutane this rosehip oil also used as
well as on accutane so I use this for a
few years now
and it is incredible this is actually a
new bottle because I just finished an
entire bottle of this that will be in my
next empties video I have learned that
you do want to use oil as the last step
because oil can penetrate through your
moisturizer so this kind of just
everything in gives me a ton of moisture
helps with scarring my scarring has gone
down a ton this side is definitely still
more but I don’t know if I’m ever going
to get like fully rid of that this
doesn’t have a pleasant smell at all but
I’m so used to it now that it doesn’t
bother me and I use a decent amount and
just try and like Pat this on kind of
blunder then I would rather have my
skincare be effective then the smell
didn’t it does like tint your face and
it doesn’t smell great so if you have a
boyfriend or partner or someone you live
with just just warn them that your face
isn’t gonna smell great tonight
lately I’ve been also bringing this down
the neck just because I feel like it
does so much for moisture that I’m like
well why not it’s affordable that I
think is about nine dollars and sixty
cents the best ten dollars you’ll ever
spend on your skincare so it’s
interesting because some people this
does break out others it doesn’t and it
helps their acne and I’m definitely in
that like second category I am someone
who usually breaks out from oil so this
is like one of the few oils that I’ve
ever found that doesn’t break me out so
I guess it just depends on your skin and
your skin type in everything but for me
this is amazing then I’ll usually brush
my teeth and everything and then my last
step is a lip product this is a lineage
lip sleeping mask in vanilla this is the
vanilla when I’m almost out of hate
taking my nail and Digger and it’s like
super sticky so when you’ve washed your
finger off you have to use like a ton of
soap that’s the one thing I don’t like
about this I also love the aqua for
healing ointment if you want a drugstore
option that’s what I used when I was on
accutane there really helps with dryness
on your lips this one now that my lips
aren’t like super dry I just really
enjoy this one I also like wearing this
throughout the day I wanted to make this
video now because I ordered a ton of
Korean and Asian Beauty skincare
products and like lip stuff skincare
everything that I would be testing so I
did find a product after researching
that apparently is supposed to be super
similar to this but it’s like a dupe so
we’ll see if it actually is but I do
love the linage lip sleeping mask
I just realized I’ve had a piece of
cotton stuck to my earring this entire
time so that’s wonderful not sure how
long has been there hmm so that’s
everything I do as far as night time I
really enjoy putting on skincare at
night it’s like
a therapeutic for me I love I don’t love
washing off my makeup but I love all the
other steps that follow so I feel like I
like having a lot of steps of my
skincare routine and I like feeling like
I’m doing something good for my skin and
investing in skincare though good night
now let’s move on to the morning all
right so morning time this is me awake
for a couple of hours already so I’ve
got my coffee in my system we’re ready
to roll so as you can see my skin looks
very glowy right now and this was just
my skincare from the night before so I
can still feel like product on my skin
and oils and stuff which is good I like
that they stay on my face all night I
would say about 9 out of 10 times and I
don’t wash my face in the morning with
like a facial cleanser because they
don’t want to strip my skin of the
moisture since my skin is on the drier
side so I said I’ll shower at night
dwelve my skincare wake up and this is
what we’re dealing with so instead of
washing my face with the cleanser all
gone with a toner so this is the
ordinary high low my poor flush portable
and I basically look for something
that’s super gentle just like a basic
toner to remove the product off my skin
does this one reduces pores I haven’t
noticed like a huge difference in that I
do like this one I’m not sure if I would
repurchase it I kind of bounce between
different toners just go through one
finish it up try another one I do love
that this has a sprayer on it so you
could probably just spray this directly
on your face then going with like a
towel or maybe even like a damp
washcloth or something and just wipe it
off but I like using a cotton square for
this I have a few that I like these ones
are from a guest I’ll just say don’t
make some of my favorites I’ll just put
a few spritzes on here and go in and
basically just make sure my face is
clean the oils from the night before are
removed any facial creams any products
from the night before are off my face
now I’m going to flip over the cotton
pad here’s the other side and just add a
tiny bit more I haven’t tried putting
this over my eyes so I’m not sure if it
burns I basically just avoid product
contact with my eyes as much as possible
because they’re really sensitive
burn so typically the next few things I
do are kind of just dependent on the day
I’ll like take a look at my skin see
what I feel like it means I try not to
go like overkill with my skin so
sometimes I will use maybe like twice a
week three times a week I’ll use this
morning and night it does say on the
back of here that you can use once or
twice daily so it is gentle enough if
you’ve worked up to it to do that but
I’m going to skip that today because I
don’t feel like I need that right now so
if I’m having a chill morning where I’m
not filming and I’m doing mostly like
computer work instead kind of doing more
of like a pamper thing or I’ll put on
like under-eye mass in a face mask and
just let everything chill in my face for
like an hour so I’m doing work so when I
have that kind of morning I’ve been
going on with the derma e vitamin C
bright eye gel patches I love these
these are one of the few eye masks that
I feel like actually do something I
don’t think it’s gonna like so beer you
know under-eye darkness and help with
puffiness and everything but just like a
temporary thing it does feel very
cooling I do feel like it’s brightening
and is moisturizing because the serum
stays on afterwards that’s one of the
things I look for in eye patches because
I don’t like when they’re so dry that
you put them on you take them off and
nothing is different like I like there
to be a little bit of serum under there
that you can tap in and keep on
throughout the day so this has vitamin C
b3 and caffeine so I do really like
these they’re very thin – so then width
I if I’m having the chill p.m. for kind
of morning I’ll put on a face mask as
well let me know if you guys want to see
a separate video on my current favorite
face masks cuz I feel like I have a lot
that I like haven’t mentioned a whole
lot before but I’m just gonna mention –
in today’s video the first is the self
care sundae nourishing face mask by Tula
I love this one I feel like it really
plumps up my skin as moisture and it
just gives this very like youthful plump
kind of appearance I actually Billy does
something and it says it has probiotics
ceramides and vitamin C does leave on
for 10 minutes I leave it on for a
couple hours tomato tomahto
then another one I love if I feel like
my skin is extra dry that morning the
fourth ray soak it up
reading hyaluronic Mass is bomb this one
is very affordable to says you can wear
as an overnight mask or a rich
moisturizer – so this has like different
purposes but again I feel like that adds
a ton of moisture to my skin
okay so then back to the normal routine
like not the pamper I always try and use
a vitamin C serum to help with
brightness of the skin and this one is
Olli Henrickson truth serum I’m just
trying to use this one up because I
really want to repurchase the CEO by
Sunday Riley that is my favorite vitamin
C serum that when I mentioned in my last
skincare routine video how that I’ve
gone through an entire bottle of it I do
really see a difference with it I feel
like when I’m using it regularly my skin
just looks brighter and like I have less
redness and stuff overall this one I
like I’m not like obsessed with it but
like I said I have it trying to use up
what I have right now so I’m gonna shake
this up this one is very liquidy the CEO
is more of like a light lotion
consistencies once more similar to the
drunk elephant and that it’s definitely
like a serum like a thin serum it does
leave a little tiny bit of an orange
tint and it smells like oranges get to
see that glow and it absorbs into the
skin pretty quickly which I like it
leaves like a tacky feeling but it
doesn’t feel wet or slippery or anything
so I’ll try and give a couple minutes in
between and then one that I’ve been
testing for about the last month or so
now maybe a month or two is this
polished choice Omega and complex serum
and this I just I don’t know I like it I
don’t know what it’s doing to my skin
but I feel like it adds a lot of
moisture and overall it’s just a good
like daily everyday kind of serum where
the ingredients aren’t like too drastic
it says it has Chia and flax seeds and
it’s an Omega complex serum for
nourishing smoothing healthy glowy skin
so as you can use it AM and PM I
typically only use this one in the
morning or if I’ve done a face mask like
throughout the day or something maybe
and I want to add something
– my skin throughout the day I’ll
typically put on this serum I have had
this pill when I tried mixing it in with
a hyaluronic boosters I’m so just be
aware it might pill with certain
products that you have but that was the
only one that I’ve had that happened
with and I think that might have been
the hyaluronic not this but it’s just
like a very calming feeling kind of this
smell like oatmeal which is weird so now
that those two are on I give that
another couple minutes to really like
sink into the skin so while those are
sinking in between those two products my
skin already feels very moisturized and
I don’t ever really feel like I need a
moisturizer in the morning because the
SPS I use are basically like a two and
one for me for that I don’t feel like I
need to add a moisturizer and an SPF so
I have probably four or five SPF that I
really enjoy I’m just gonna mention this
one because that’s what I’ve been using
most often this is the super goo glow
screen SPF 40 I like this because it’s
basically like a primer and SPF in one
it says it hydrates the skins
lightweight it’s a luminous makeup
gripping primer and it also can double
up to the highlighter wherever you want
extra dose of that and it is very glowy
so just warning you if you don’t like
fluffy products you will not like this
it is extremely low E I don’t wear this
if I’m testing for foundation Fridays
just FYI because it does add a lot of
glow and like ultra the finish of your
foundation but it also is vegan has no
synthetic fragrance is clean and it is
reef safe it’s also very moisturizing if
you have dry skin and you like a glowy
base you will love this I love the
consistency of it and it has like a
light kind of tan color who’s this in my
aesthetic makeup tutorial I did a while
ago so I’m just applying this and it
does feel almost like my essence fresh
fit in a weak primer and it goes a
similar look so it’s it is like a two
and one for me I like primer and SPF and
I love the way this one kind of like
sinks in but it’s still moisturizing and
then something I’ll do maybe like 3 or 4
times a day
a day a week that would be extreme so
I’ll put on this Rose glow and get it
cooling I balm from Tula I love this
thing it is so glowy
so nice a lot of under eye products
irritate the crap out of my eyes and
this one doesn’t
all I can bring up right underneath and
it just gives the prettiest brightening
glow and it’s almost like a highlighter
like a two-in-one
like look at that glow on my cheekbone
now and it feels cooling it’s not
overpowering and I like this especially
if I am doing no makeup makeup days
because it adds like a little bit of
lift and brightness and a highlight
without putting on any makeup so I’ll
try and wait maybe like 15-20 minutes
between finishing up my skincare and
putting on makeup I’ll go have another
cup of coffee check some emails do
whatever and then put on my makeup or
film or whatever I’m doing that day just
so everything is sunk in and not like
sliding around the foundation but all
these products that I mentioned today do
a pretty good job like sinking into the
skin and creating a good base for your
foundation by the way these pajamas are
from Target it’s like a short and top
said that I think it’s so cute but that
is my full skincare routine morning and
I hope this video was helpful for you

up I’m gonna have everything I talked
about linked down below in the
description box there are any specific
skin care products you think I need to
