Hyram Yarbro Skincare Routine Reaction – Harper’s Bazaar #skincarebyhyram ✖ James Welsh
hello everybody welcome back to my channel where we talk about skincare grooming and sometimes hair so that sounds like a thing make sure you are subscribed also come and follow me on instagram where i post a lot of stuff you’re not gonna see here on youtube so when someone from the skincare community makes their way onto harper’s bazaar it’s it’s quite the moment it’s quite the celebration so you know i’m not one for reaction videos but obviously this is a huge huge moment for hiram i think like you see all these amazing amazing people in harper’s bazaar been to see someone from the skincare community hop from youtube onto youtube onto half as bizarre i i feel like it’s just a win for everyone um within our community i love it and i love our community i love everyone in it also hiram never shows us his skincare routine i’m one of these people that probably post my skincare routine every couple every few weeks i should do one i should do an update but we never see hiram so here’s what i think we’re gonna see obviously we’re going to see fragrance-free products um there’s definitely gonna be used to the people in there that’s like his brand not his brand but like you know very eco-friendly stuff environmentally conscious options what else i don’t know i don’t know gentle products i think hiram’s very much about being extra gentle and cautious with your skin i think especially as a lot of his viewers are younger especially on tick-tock i think that’s an important message to send because when i was younger i did all types of shit to my skin so it’s nice to have somebody like hiram i wish i had somebody like hiram back in the day when i was doing all this crazy crap to my face to say look this is the time to care for your skin as much as possible so i’ve watched about uh like 55 seconds of this and i thought no shit i’m gonna i’m gonna do reaction to this so let’s see okay i am not a pretty sight when i wash my face i look like a fish gasping for air we’re gasping for water they don’t gasp for air they’re underwater i think when all of us wash our face is not an attractive thing you know like in the old neutrogena ads where they were like ah and the water would go everywhere that never fucking happens even if it did it’ll be the biggest mess to clean up and especially in your evening routine you just don’t have time to be doing like mopping the floor i am so excited to be able to show you my skincare routine because i am usually used to reacting to skincare routines i’m not used to showing other people my skincare routine and especially because it’s switching so often i feel like there’s no sense of normalcy but now i’m excited to reveal it to you guys because so many of you have been asking and yeah this is just going to be fun i’m looking forward to it this is something i must say about like youtubers when we when we do our skincare routines people always like why do you change products so much why aren’t you sticking to what works for you we wouldn’t have a skincare channel if we were just using the same five items over and over but i do know i i presume we all kind of have like our basic good products that we always fall back on but you know we’ve got to constantly experiment so when people are like what’s your newest routine um it’s a bit like well this is it but i’m not too sure about these products yet or i’m trying these i’m not sure what the final outcome of this product is so i think when we share our routines we have to be confident that we do really really like those products and we’re not in an experimenting phase or in a trial stage but what we all do that is important is just remind people that what works for us won’t necessarily work for you also i hope that you can appreciate that i’m wearing a robe because it’s low key 85 degrees and i’m actually pretty hot but you know what i wanted to stick with wearing a robe because it’s a go to bed with me i don’t get this chance every day um you are also joined with me in my room not my bathroom because my bathroom is the size of a shoe box and i figured that you probably don’t want to be seeing up my nostrils my entire skincare routine so we’re here instead so i may have to run it out to wash my face i’m going to be using in total one two three four five six seven eight products with one skincare tool so nine products all together i’m really i did not expect that um cleanse he’ll definitely do a double cleanse he probably won’t do the toner at essence stage he’ll do a serum maybe like another active oh yeah maybe oh i don’t know i expected his routine to be a little bit more minimal um just because of who who hiram is i guess but i don’t know let’s see i’m intriguing now and it’s all i can’t think like what tour he would use let’s let’s continue excited to go through them because these are some new goodies that i found that i haven’t shared with many people so first thing i do is i use a cleansing balm i’m specifically using the then i met you living cleansing balm i like this one because well i like cleansing balms in general because they’re a great way of just dissolving the sunscreen and excess oil and dirt buildup that has accumulated throughout the day off of your skin um cleansing oils are nice but sometimes they can be a little bit messy which is why i like cleansing balms but typically i don’t i don’t like cleansing oils that much like i agree with hiron they’re just like a little bit they just feel like more effort and they’re not always the easiest to get off cleansing balls just emulsify so nice nicely nice nicely they emulsify it very very well and they could just rinse off the skin super super easily so yeah cleansing oils i’m using less and less go for a lot of cleansing balms because they have an ingredient called polyethylene which is plastic and i kind of don’t want to be putting plastic on my face and having it go down the drain and this one is polyethylene free which is why i really like it so i usually just take a little bit there’s some skincare asmr um so polyethylene is something that um it is a plastic as a plastic yeah and it’s in nearly every cleansing balm that you see obviously apart from this one um what one doesn’t contain it the new glow recipe cleansing balm doesn’t contain polyethylene either however i believe let me just get the ingredients up i think they still contain it’s a little bit misleading hang on then i met you cleansing balm ingredients the these polyethylene free cleansing balms are a little bit misleading because you do still have polyethylene glycol pg20 have peg8 so there’s still some form of plastic in it so p polyethylene glycol is polyethylene um and glycol obviously but when they combine together they basically become like this um like a slimy thick texture that you you’re going to find a lot of cleansing balms and a lot of other cleansers and stuff like that so it really it really does depend it’s i do think though it’s these little differences that make a big difference so using less plastic in your cleansing balms i guess opting for reusable wipes instead of face wipes it’s we don’t have to be perfect when it comes to being environmentally conscious it’s all these little differences that we’re all making that together is going to make such a huge difference i do wish browns would be a little bit more um transparent though when it comes to when they say polyethylene free you think why is it polyethylene free because people don’t want to use plastic but they got polyethylene glycol so it’s a bit like what um you know so it’s interesting if you know a little bit more about that let me know in the comments below i don’t know if like polyethylene glycol is maybe it it washes away easier like it disintegrates easier i don’t know let me know down below because i’m not 100 sure if there’s much of a difference between polyethylene glycol and polyethylene this stuff is so hang on sorry so you see that little dip that hyrum makes in this cleansing balm i have a real thing about that i have to like um keep it flat the whole time i have this weird thing where i want it to look like it’s new every use so i kind of like scrape it around and make sure the surface is flat you know when you um have like a lip balm pot and you put your finger in it and you end up just getting this hole in the middle of it i had this weird thing where i always have to try and avoid that like a mango smoothie on the skin i love applying it because it applies so smoothly and it’s formulated with a lot of rich hydrating oils that are really great for nourishing the skin which i think is awesome because the cleansing system can usually be a little bit stripping to the skin and a lot of people don’t realize that cleansing can be the most damaging part of the skincare routine if we’re not careful and i really like that this one is formulated with so many oils to just really soften and nourish my skin this cleansing balm is so nice one thing i struggle with personally with cleansing balm is that bombs is that when you break them down you still get like lumps of the balm in your hands it’s so annoying whereas this one kind of comes like not pre-melted but you put it in your palms and it melts away straight away it’s got all those amazing oils in as hiram said um and yeah like you said a lot of people don’t know that the cleansing part of your routine can actually be the most damaging in some cases with the water cleanse so when your skin is really really irritated you can double cleanse with a cleansing balm so do it to remove your makeup then cleanse again with the cleansing balm and it’s an absolutely fine cleanse but yeah this is a really nice it’s a bit pricey how much i can’t remember it’s a little bit pricey but it’s really really nice it does have fragrance and anyone who watches my channel knows that i do not like fragrance but i’m okay with it in a wash off treatment so in my washout treatments is when i get to splurge i knew that i knew he was gonna do that so yeah fragrance is we’ll talk about fragrance later because he might talk about more fragrance-free stuff but me and hiram have different opinions on fragrance not different opinions because we both know the facts about fragrance but we have different kind of ideas when it comes to fragrance within skincare not going too deep into it the simple fact of the matter is if your skin doesn’t like fragrance don’t use it if your skin’s impaired don’t use it if you don’t mind it carry on using it it’s funny because a lot of people like fragrance serves no purpose but it does and that’s not an opinion that’s a fact in the sense that like it makes money like people like fragrance in their skincare officially according to figures um and it’s a sensorial experience you know there are other ingredients within skincare that don’t serve a purpose for your skin um some of the ingredients just make the product feel nicer on your skin we don’t really need it but we prefer it to like lumpy custard on our face you know so it’s different what i like about hiring stance or fragrance is that especially at a younger age which especially on tick tock his demographic is i guess is going to be we’re picking up our spots like not to be stereotypical but when i was at age i was picking up my skin i had acne lesions on my face and that is kind of when you want to avoid using fragrance and nowadays a lot of um products targeted at teenagers and preteens especially is heavily fragrant because they’re trying to make the product fern you know it smells like sugar and i don’t know fucking citrus i don’t know and what i do like about hiram stance on fragrance is that he’s just making you aware that it’s potentially irritating and i think it’s perfect for the demographic especially at an age where our skin is going through so so much so much when it comes to fragrance there are 26 very well known um allergen fragrances that have to be listed separate to fragrance on the ingredient list so definitely avoid those if you have very very irritated skin if your skin’s going through some shit avoid fragrance but me and hiron both know if you like it use it if you don’t don’t use it that’s like the end kind of story to it a little bit because it’s not going to be in my face very long it’s going to be on there for like a maximum of 30 seconds before i rinse it off so i’m not really going to see any sensitivities or risks associated with fragrance i make sure to get on my under eye area so i don’t forget there and just gently working into the skin everywhere i always used to think cleansing oils and cleansing balms were for people who wore makeup every day but i actually think they should be used by everyone because sunscreen is a tricky little thing to get off your skin and especially with the amount of sunscreen i wear which is hint a lot a lot every single day i’m like anal about making sure i avoid the sun as much as possible the cleansing balm is definitely smart for me yes one of the most questions i get asked is do i have to double cleanse if i’m not wearing makeup and i always say yes because i just presume hopefully everyone’s wearing sunscreen and reapplying it if you’re not wearing makeup or wearing sunscreen you don’t have to do a double cleanse it’s nice to get the sweat and oils off your face in a certain way but the idea of the oil cleanse in the double cleanse is to get rid of things that you need oil to break down so sunscreen make up all that kind of stuff and then after i make sure i’ve gotten every part of my skin i just rinse it off with water and then immediately go in with my cleanser which i just do all in one swoop my favorite cleanser the one that i have to use all the time otherwise my skin freaks out is the use of people kale and green tea spinach cleanser this one i don’t know why my skin gets so upset every time i discontinue using this from my routine i’ll try to experiment with new cleansers my skin’s like what the heck bro why did you do that so this one is a pretty integral part of my routine i also really like it because i have combination to more oily skin and being that it is summer right now in hawaii it’s very humid of course i tend to be really really oily so i need a cleanser that’s going to deeply cleanse my skin get everything out of my pores to make sure that they’re not clogged they’re not going to accumulate dead skin cells and dirt over time and this one does a great job of doing that but my skin doesn’t feel overly stripped afterwards which is tricky to find because some i knew i was going to have used to the people cleanser obviously it’s like his like trademark product i think mine is like matcha hemp hydrating cleanser i agree that i can always stray away from it but i always come back to it because it’s really fucking good i don’t know anything about this cleanser but i really want it i don’t think it’s available in the uk which bothers me hiram did actually send me some samples but not the cleanser so i am dying dying to try it cleansers i find works so well that afterwards my skin is like gasping for water it’s like the sahara desert again so i’m going to rinse off and start applying this so usually i take about a full pump and it’s just gently massage it into my skin last time i did this on video um my eyes ended up running so badly because i’m not used to having my eyes open while cleansing my skin and my eyes are very very very sensitive so i’m gonna be very careful maybe close my eyes for this i found that sometimes this cleanser can be a little bit too harsh during the winter time because during the winter my ten my skin tends to dry out a lot more especially in the cheek area it gets really really dry and anytime i travel to the mainland my skin gets so so so dry i actually used to struggle with eczema a lot thankfully i don’t anymore i love the way americans pronounce and the way americans pronounce um integrals as integral i find it i really like it actually just realized he didn’t emulsify his cleansing bomb but i think that’s on purpose because he’s not out of sync it’s impossible like the behind the scenes of filming a skincare routine is so tough unless you have a sink right in front of your camera it’s just so much effort like a lot of people was like to me you didn’t do your neck and it’s like you don’t want to see me do my neck on camera like when it comes to cleansing and all that kind of stuff it’s just so it’s there’s a lot going on hiram knows to emulsify so he probably just didn’t do it because he needs to run back and forth to the sink and i it would have been hell to film i’m guessing oh also i like the way he’s going a bit more into depth about his skin type than a lot of like celebrities do a lot of harper’s bizarre guests do wouldn’t expect anything less from hiram but it’s important to know like he is that skin changes from season to season from climate to climate your routine is gonna change it has to change like sometimes you’re gonna have to chop and change your cleanses being in a more humid environment but yeah this cleanser really only works for when it’s particularly humid and my skin is being extra oily okay once i feel that my skin is clean enough i go over to the bathroom i’m still not opening my eyes and this is gonna be a struggle trying to walk to the sink to wash my face off but you know i’m gonna do my best wish me luck his love makes me laugh so much when we filmed our collab like um it was a while back actually now but his laugh is so funny it’s the best laugh wow i made it over to the bathroom with my eyes closed and i did not spill on my shirt don’t always win that battle but today i did i guess it’s a good day did you notice that my skin is a little bit red i have reactive skin i don’t have sensitive skin my skin can actually handle a lot of products ingredients testing etc etc but it is reactive if the wind blows my skin’s like inflammation instantly next i go in with a new step that i haven’t been using very important to note as well like he just said like i would apply a product sometimes and my skin would go a little bit red and then calm the fuck down like straight away i’m swearing way too much in this video i’m so sorry there’s difference between you know like having an allergic reaction having irritation reactive skin as well so it’s important that we all know the difference um so i’m yeah glad he’s pointing that out i think for very long it’s the in street green tea fresh toner now normally i’m not a big toner person because i don’t really feel that they’re necessary to a skincare team but this product the first ingredient is green tea extract the first ingredient and it’s like super affordable and normally products with that high of a concentration of green tea heck even less of a concentration of green tea are super super expensive so i was pleasantly surprised to find this i’m pleasantly surprised it was using a toner i did not think i did i didn’t think i didn’t think there would be a toner in this routine at all hiram does always say how um toners aren’t necessary like they’re not they’re absolutely not um but they are nice to have um instant tree is a brand that like um i’m from both korean brands are known for their high concentration of their key ingredients so they’re a really really good brand if you haven’t checked them out check them out already but yeah it’s probably going to talk about the ingredients but green tea i love green tea and it’s great for inflammation irritation it’s an antioxidant it’s one of the very few great ingredients that has a lot of research as far as um minimizing the appearance of pores as well so it is an ingredient i love i also don’t use a cotton pad i just put it in my palms and pat it into my skin you know it’s funny my nighttime routine was not always this um complete i used to be extremely bad at doing a nighttime routine but once i figured out to put like my nighttime skincare right next to my bed and having micellar water there to just like do my entire skincare routine while laying down i slowly started getting into a nighttime skincare routine until you know now which i’m like fully addicted but for anyone out there who is struggling to keep up with a consistent nighttime routine i’m always recommending that because it definitely helped my skin i also really like using the ingredient green tea because it’s great for soothing inflammation redness it also may have some anti-aging benefits it’s just overall a really good skin healing agent that i really like to use so after that step i make sure my skin is completely dry before i go in with the next one and that’s important because the next product i use is from first it’s the press restart gentle retinol serum retinol is one of my favorite ingredients for just repairing so much damage within the skin it’s so well researched there’s so many benefits to it and i think it’s a must especially considering like how much sun exposure i get here and just the stressors and the fact that i do age so quickly retinol is a must step in my skincare routine for a few months i went off of i i don’t know why but i’m surprised as a retinol but it makes perfect sense why would he not use a retinol he knows the benefits of it um first i really want to try out first i’ve never tried it before retinol and i’ve been slowly like making my way back into it and this one’s a more gentle formula so it’s better and more ideal to make sure that like my skin doesn’t you know freak out when i start to use it and i’ve been using it for a couple weeks and so far i’ve been really enjoying the experience yeah i’ve been really enjoying retinols in moisturizers and creams with buffers um because i i like higher in my go free stages where i use it absolutely fine sometimes i get a bit carried away i’m like oh my god i can do three times a week now and i can’t i really can’t so then that’s when i would calm down i’d use a retinol like a moisturizer and a cream once a week and slowly build my way back up and promise myself i’m never gonna do it again but then i do it’s funny though so many people are like oh my gosh you can’t use retinol you’re too young to use retinol etc etc and i think what a lot of people don’t realize is that the reason i started my skincare youtube channel is because of aging that i was seeing in my skin i had wrinkles all over my face deep set one on my forehead underneath my eyes and before that i never really thought anything of skincare i thought it was just something like older ladies used because they wanted to feel fancy but as soon as i started using skincare and i started incorporating exfoliants into my skincare routine and retinol i quickly realized that it was actually effective because the wrinkles in my face were going away and now thankfully i’ve managed to you know keep them at bay for some time we’ll see how long that lasts i’m very expressive and i’m white so i age like a raisin so i just took two pumps of that and applied it into the skin one of them forgot i was filming then um yeah so retinol i mean you don’t have to start using retinol when you’re like 13 you know you usually find restaurants though in acne medication and like obviously prescription only kind of stuff but a lot of people like should i be using in my teens you don’t not use it in your teens but you don’t really have to i would say like early 20s go for it once a week i mean i’m in my 30s now i wish i started wrestling all sooner i’m quite lucky in the sense that my i haven’t got any wrinkles i’ve never had wrinkles i got like two fine lines on my forehead retinol always sounds so daunting um and scary but um yeah use like one of the creams like for example this first one looks really really interesting i want to try it the reasons i like that one is because retinol typically usually comes in very thick heavy creams and i want to be able to utilize retinol but also be able to apply other products on top of it afterwards this one is a must in my skincare routine the great barrier relief from crave beauty when i first found this oh sorry so yeah retinol works best when it’s touching your dry skin so i think that the stage here i’m using is perfect you don’t start adding treatments on top you don’t want to start adding treatments onto your skin and moisturizers and then using retinol unless you’re buffering it which is a good way to introduce retinol is to use as your last step over moisturizer then slowly bring it into um touching your skin as soon as possible into your routine if that makes sense i hope that makes sense i’m not very good at explaining things but he’s going to talk about one of my favorite products now let’s see what he has to say didn’t i was in such a dark place i don’t know where i was before this this like saved my skin which sounds dramatic but hello that’s me this one i specifically love because what it focuses on is helping to repair the skin’s moisture barrier and i think what we don’t realize is that we tend to just pummel our skin with so many treatments at least i do so that sometimes i forget that you know the health of the skin is just as important as seeing results and those two things are not interchangeable your skin can be you know seeing really good results in terms of like exfoliation and retinol but not be adequately healthy and this is a great product for just making sure that my that’s such a good point that’s such a good point and i’ve not heard a single person on youtube say that using skincare isn’t always about seeing immediate results or trying to get some kind of result you’ve got to remember to just constantly care for your skin and in like this kind of like i feel like um great barrier relief is kind of like this serum moisturizer hybrid and i feel like the serum and the moisturizer is a perfect stage to do this you can buy moisturizers with nice ceramide rich ingredients cholesterol squalane tamanu oil all really good at helping keep your skin barrier healthy so that like hiring said that perfectly absolutely perfectly that sometimes we forget to just do the basic care for our skin and yeah i’m glad he’s reminding everyone he’s reminding me moisture barrier is as strong as possible and when i started using this product i immediately noticed that the redness in my face was gone my skin was more hydrated i didn’t need to you know worry about as much excessive oiliness throughout the day because it’s formulated with niacinamide it has tomato oil so i started noticing like a brightness and getting rid of dark spots and sunspots on my face just so many different benefits that i started noticing from this product so after i apply that product i go in with a fine completely agree i’ve i don’t i keep talking about this video but the video i did on when i like basically fucked up my skin on purpose you can still still see some redness and irritation on the nose i’m still got a few breakouts on the forehead this product is so so good that i am paying a ridiculous amount of money to get it shipped over from america they don’t deliver to the uk so i’m having to send it to someone to then send it to me i’ve ordered like three of these this product is so so good i have a few great alternatives but there’s just something about this product that did so much amazing stuff for my skin barrier that i know that once i get it the redness on my skin is just going to calm down so so much if you are in i believe singapore malaysia and america crave beauty ship too if you can get your hands on this get it it’s honestly like a game changer a moisturizer because this alone it can be used as a moisturizer but i would say it doesn’t have enough inclusive agents to really form the protective seal to prevent me from losing water through my skin overnight if you know that process it’s called trans abdominal water loss i’m constantly talking about it but i just want to always make sure that i have a final seal to prevent any of that water loss but i don’t like going in with really heavy creams after doing this many products which is why i have been absolutely loving the rovectin clean water cream it comes with little stickers that you can put on the bottle so i customize my own it’s cute this one i love because it’s formulated with a crazy high concentration of lotus which is great for you know reducing sensitivity and irritation in the face and also for you know potentially being anti-aging and antioxidant properties but i specifically love this one because it’s a very lightweight water cream so it absorbs into the skin so quickly and does not feel heavy hiram’s language when he talks about skincare is spot on i think a lot of these brands come out with like ant anti-aging products no product other than um retinoids is proven to reverse or halt signs of aging so wrinkles fine lines but brands will come out and say this is an anti-aging product because it could potentially help towards that so i’m glad hiram is saying that these ingredients potentially have been shown to help with because that’s that’s the truth of it they’re not necessarily don’t work but there’s just not all that kind of scientific backing behind it i’ve actually been really liking using this one during the day because i can ensure that it will not make my skin look really oily or greasy something that’s really important to me particularly during the summer i always make sure i apply on the neck funny enough dragging upwards on my neck actually creates a lot of redness and irritation so i usually just pat it into my neck and what i also do with my moisturizer is i always make sure to pat it into my skin afterwards because i don’t know why maybe this is true maybe it’s not true but i feel like my products absorb so much better once i pat it into my skin and i don’t know if that’s because it’s actually being absorbed by the skin more or if it’s just being absorbed by my fingers more i have no idea let me know down below because i would love to know the you know scientific explanation behind that so i’ve talked about this before but um kind of stephen on instagram um has a post all about tapping versus rubbing skincare into your skin and the conclusions kind of at the end of the day do what works for your skin as some of you may notice most of these products are actually korean and that’s because i love korean skincare i just feel like it encapsulates so much of just the modern innovative perspective that korean skincare technology can bring and just incredible ingredients and formulas just everything that i love about skincare in non-irritating formulas 100 agree i love korean skin care the innovation i love the ingredients that some of us have never heard of in skincare before using skincare before being utilized in these amazing products korean skincare for me um has everything i love about skincare everything i love amazing packaging like stories behind the brand amazing actual products and ingredients and it just goes to show that you can have everything in your skincare one thing that’s very prevalent on my channel in terms of messaging is going towards skincare that’s not going to irritate your skin but contribute to the health of your skin and that’s something that i definitely try to focus on within my own skincare routine you know sometimes i wish i could just be like a model when i apply my skincare routine like you are a model fashion model but no it’s like world war three over here on my face i’ve gotten better i’ve gotten a lot better i used to be like manhandling my face when i applied my skincare routine now i’m much more gentle but that doesn’t mean it’s beautiful so i apologize to anyone who’s watching you’re stunning yeah i see all these tick tocks of like men were like doing this on their face i’m like oh i i get that people feel like being rougher means your skincare routine takes less time to do but you do have to be gentle come on all right once i pat that into my skin i go in with lips next because my lips tend to get really dry and i think overnight is a great time for me to just make sure i’m really moisturizing my lips so i don’t have to apply a lip balm as much throughout the day the one that i’ve been really loving is the milk makeup melatonin lip mask i think there’s a lot of like underrated benefits to melatonin in skincare and i specifically like this one because it’s very thick it’s very hydrating and it’s gonna make sure that i do not wake up with dry lips the only thing i don’t like about this one is that it is formulated with lavender oil so you know to me that i would consider that fragrance but with lip products it’s so hard to find fragrance-free formulas that are actually really effective at you know keeping the skin moist overnight and this one works really well yeah um i love that one it’s very lavender heavy i don’t like the smell of lavender but i really really like this lip mask and like hiram says it’s so tough to find an actual good hydrating lip product that doesn’t have fragrance in the dr sam um lip treatment i forgot his name it’s two ingredients non-fragrance um and and does an amazing job an amazing amazing job but this milk makeup one is so good i mean you’re all right with fragrance on the lips you should be absolutely fine think of the stuff that passes our lips like on a daily basis okay and then for the final step i go in with a skincare tool that i actually have not talked about on my channel before so i’m so excited to provide an exclusive look into my skincare routine it’s actually a cooling globe and it would be cooling globes plural if i hadn’t have broken the other one and leaked out everywhere right now onto my car it’s so expensive so love that but you know i just have one for now but it’s okay it’s the same tool it just takes you know double the time but it’s still so nice i love using this both at night time or in the morning specifically in the morning on the under eye area because it really de-puffs the face but overall i just like it because typically with a lot of these like cooling tools that i’ve used in the past sometimes they create such a heavy layer of like condensation on the outside that it almost feels like you’re just kind of smothering water all over your face and it feels like it’s almost breaking up the skin i love ice cloves i talked about this in the the um i talked about these in the products i keep secret video because i felt like they were a bit too bougie i get a lot of like warm skin i got mild rosacea so this really really does help kind of like calm that down and like harm said in the morning so nice just to do a quick like little smidge all over the face so these ones have a liquid in that doesn’t freeze over so they’re not just filled with water and i think that’s what a lot of like the cheaper alternatives have so you do get that condensation whereas with these tools they have like almost like an anti-freeze kind of liquid inside of them so it doesn’t create that condensation and you don’t get all that water dripping down your skin care formula but this one i never noticed that it really glides across the skin helps to you know further push your skincare products into your skin without like leaving traces of water across the surface of your skin and i always just leave this in the fridge overnight and i always try to move it upwards in a lifting motion because there’s really no reason to be dragging downwards like your skin does not like that it does not need more gravitational pull no sir not today normally when i have two i do it so pretty i’m not like mr like t-rex claws trying to push it all over my face normally it’s very like visually aesthetic but alas the second one broke but thankfully these ones are actually really affordable i got this from sephora and i think they were like 20 bucks so not bad my ones are like a hundred quid i didn’t pay for them to be fair but um that’s nice to know you can get them cheaper we stand affordability and i like to go on the neck as well and just push upwards and this is just such a nice step just to like calm down you know focus on just like self-care time i think sometimes even with me i tend to be so rushed in my life that i you know really rushed through my skincare routine and using this is kind of a moment for me to just reflect and you know think about the self-care part of skincare and have like a little bit of a meditative moment that’s one thing that like i feel i feel like there’s two sides to like skin care you have the people that really just see as something functional it all should be science science science if it doesn’t create amazing differences for your skin you shouldn’t be using it whereas you have people like myself who find skincare as a hobby i literally collect skincare i enjoy it it’s like me time i like to take that half hour to an hour in the evening just to like relax and watch whatever i’m gonna watch on youtube and take that time to calm the fuck down before bed and just to really really switch off which is so difficult nowadays and i think more and more people are now they’re seeing skin care as a hobby they do create this ritual with their evening routine which i think is so important for everyone i know i’m definitely guilty of looking at skincare from a utility standpoint where i’m like i have this problem how do i fix it let me use that as fast as possible and that’s not usually the best way to go about using skincare i think self-care and indulgence and meditation is just as important for a skincare routine as is utility and repairing a problem within the skin and i think tapping into both of those is where you can really find a passion for skincare that’s definitely what turned it from just an interest into a passion for me and also just being able to feel so good about yourself once you start seeing good results within your skin i think is so powerful and that’s one thing on my channel that i think brings me the most joy true true joy is seeing how people’s skin has improved her recommendation of other creators or me um and seeing just the confidence that comes along with their skin being glowy healthy happy oh it’s just it’s so cool to see how much of a positive difference it’s made in people’s lives and it’s what drives me to keep doing what i do yeah i agree like we get sent a lot of pictures of like before and afters of like this is what you helped my skin with you know we’re not dermatologists we’re not here to diagnose people’s skin conditions but when you get sent a picture of a before and after you’re like oh shit did i actually help you with that and it does feel really really really good and it’s not the idea of like you have to be perfect you have to have perfect skin no one has perfect skin like like just reinstalling some confidence back in yourself not coming from having better skin but understanding your skin and like knowing working with it rather than thinking it’s against you all the time and just i guess connecting with yourself in some way as well you know like when you are doing your routines you’re understanding yourself more you’re understanding your skin more and and just i don’t know take taking that time for yourself makes you feel better about yourself and just gives you that confidence and not necessarily to do with this how your skin is looking if that makes sense sorry i would say if that makes sense because i’m not sure if i explain stuff very well actually before getting into cosmetics i struggled with a severe eating disorder and it was really difficult to find well i had never had a moment where i looked at myself in the mirror and thought to myself wow i’m beautiful you know and it wasn’t until i started using cosmetics that it really unlocked that opportunity for me to see the beauty within myself and it wasn’t about the products it wasn’t about anything you know material it was just a pathway to be able to open my eyes to my beauty you know that i possess inner and outer and that’s one thing i just love about skincare is that i think sometimes it can really be the unnecessary key to unlocking the door of confidence for a lot of people it’s not the confidence itself it opens up an opportunity for people to be able to see themselves in a better light and what price can you put on that you know once i started recognizing my own beauty that’s when you know the recovery became a lot easier a lot more enjoyable to manage as i slowly got better and i think everyone deserves to see themselves in that same light i don’t think anyone should be excluded from seeing the beauty within themselves wow we’re getting emotional no not really fuck hiram yeah like you know it sounds like we agree yeah this is the thing is is not just about making your skin perfect it’s about it’s about connecting with yourself and you know just taking the time to appreciate yourself and know that you deserve this pampering know that you deserve this effort that you’re putting into your skin knowing that you’re more than just what you are on the outside and how you appear on the outside as well i know it sounds super cheesy but that is what frustrates me about people are like just use this product all you need is that and that do you mean like fine it works that skincare is functional but you can enjoy it but you know like hiram says like sometimes it’s just nice to know that you are worth the effort you’re putting in to yourself you know see this is why i love this part of the skincare routine i can just have this reflective meditative moment and you guys just got to be with me for that so double bonus all right and after we finish that i am finished with my skincare routine and this is where i pass out i knock out i wake up glowy happy and hydrated which is the goal always but yeah this was my entire skincare routine i hope each of you really enjoyed watching i know i definitely had fun as i usually don’t get to you know show my own skincare routine thank you to all the people who are watching this and i can’t wait to see if any of you react to my skincare routine and roast me because i will be looking forward to every shady comment but thank you so much everyone and i will see you in the next video so there we go it’s honestly like such let me shuffle it’s honestly such like a proud moment i think like you know hyrum’s channel and his tic toc especially has really taken off and he he deserves it so so much he worked so hard like so so hard you know as a community we talk behind the scenes a fair bit and um when i saw hiron’s video i think it was last year like the kylie skin video when i saw him i was like there’s something different here i was like he’s going to become very very popular so i reached out not just because of that but at the time i mentioned this in the video before it was so nice to have like another guy talking about skincare and the way that i was in a way that we enjoy it like um we’re interested in the science behind it you know i at that time i was in a space where i was trying to be like this men’s grooming expert which really wasn’t me um and i’m slowly shifting out of that i feel like my channel’s changed completely from you know three years ago to what it is now and i’m loving what i’m doing now and it was so nice to have hiram there along the way as well but hiram honestly like just our conversations i know how hard he works he works so ridiculously hard and he really honestly does deserve every single subscriber follower everything that he’s gained it’s amazing that a younger generation of people have him to lead the way and avoid all the skincare mistakes that we used to make as teenagers because oh my god if i had a hiram i mentioned this in the early in the video but if i had a hiram back then i think my skincare story would have been completely different to what it was as i said in my susan yara reaction when she made it onto harper’s bazaar that when someone from the skincare community achieves something like this it’s a win for everyone i feel like i was speaking to cassandra banks and richie last night and she mentioned that the skin care community wasn’t really a thing a couple of years ago you know it’s still like a newish kind of community there’s a select few of us and more and more people are joining it and it’s so good to see all these people with such a nerdy interest in like in so that’s just like every day you know skincare products and it’s amazing to see someone achieve this level of success and popularity just talking about skincare it’s honestly like it’s such a proud like i feel i feel like we’ve made it i feel like we’ve we’ve done it you know you know hair is just going to get more and more popular let’s hope america doesn’t ban tick tock fuck’s sake but yeah honestly this is this is just so cool i’m so happy for hiram he deserves all of this and i’m looking forward to seeing the skincare community expand i’m looking forward to seeing new creators come in grow in popularity as well alongside everyone else and you know i hope one day we can all i don’t know meet in a room and apply our spf together but that is it from me now guys i will see you next time you
