Matthew Noszka’s Nighttime Skincare Routine For Acne | Go To Bed With Me | Harper’s BAZAAR

– What do you say we go get ready for bed?
So my first step in my nighttime
routine is my facewash.
I have this Farmacy Clean Bee.
Honestly guys, I’ve tried like
a million different things .
I’ve had so many problems with my skin.
This one I feel like I’ve
had the most success with
because it doesn’t really dry me out.
So I would wash it all the time.
But I realized that
washing it all the time
was just like worse for me,
so I found that this
has been gentle enough
to keep the natural oils but
still keep me clean at night.
So first I like to use some hot water.
Not too hot, like warmish.
And then shut the water off,
I used to let it run
and my Mom would just
yell and yell and yell.
But I don’t anymore.
I like to do some circular motions.
Get the t-zone,
I only know that because
I get a lot of facials.
Get my neck,
and ready for a rinse.
I rinse with cold water
because I was told that when
you rinse with cold water
it closes your pores up
and doesn’t keep ’em open.
It’s not the most glamorous routine,
but you know what?
I found that it started working for me
and that was the hardest
thing for me to find,
was things that work.
My skin gets a little
red after but you know,
I’ve got fair skin.
So step two is this La Mer oil.
This La Mer oil is something
that I just got put onto recently.
It’s worked wonders because
when I do wash my face,
especially in the winter
months in New York,
it gets super dried-out.
So I usually use like
one or two drops of this.
Rub it with my hands.
I don’t put this much on at first,
I usually just like wipe it on my chest,
I don’t know if that’s
weird but it’s what I do.
Just kinda put it on my face,
it helps when I wake up
in the mornings sometimes
I would notice my skin was super dry
and even like opening my mouth,
that would feel really tight,
but this would keep it in check.
Get a little on my neck.
I kinda like to do my neck
because like when you wear t-shirts,
I know it sounds weird
but like when you wear t-shirts
you have a good complexion
from the neck up when you use oil
and moisturizer on your neck
and plus it’s also
recommended by dermatologists.
Listen, I’ve seen so many dermatologists
and I’ve taken Accutane
twice and it didn’t work,
I was like in the 10th percentile
that it would work and
then it would come back.
So I’ve honestly seen so many people
that it’s just really
been a struggle for me.
There’s people that can get a pimple
and like go about their day.
They’re like oh, it’s fine, whatever,
I got like a pimple here,
it’s cool, no big deal.
Now there’s other people
that get that pimple
and they are just straight
up social anxiety,
I don’t want to talk to anybody,
whoever is talking to me
is staring right at it
and they’re not looking at me.
And that was me.
So I’d be in the mirror in the morning
in high school, even after high school
like when I first moved to
New York and I was modeling,
I was like,
“Man, I can’t go out looking like this”.
I look horrible.
And it got to a point
where I would call my agent
or I’d call my Mom and be like
I’m not leaving the house,
like I’m not and they’re like
you look fine, you do
and I’m like “No I’m not going”.
So I’ve definitely struggled with it,
anyone else out there that has acne,
I’m with you, I promise,
it’s not like as glamorous as
it may seem because you got
phase 2 and this to go.
Not that I’m promoting
you guys to use that
but if you’ve have a pimple
it’s not a big deal to cover it up.
Next is this Fresh Vitamin Nectar.
It’s probably one of the
most natural moisturizers
that I’ve found.
It’s not too heavy but it’s
definitely worked to where
when I put it on it
hydrates my skin enough
to where it’s not like a heavy greasy look
whenever you leave the house
or when you go to sleep.
So I use it morning and night.
So you just need a
little dime-sized amount.
I just work it into my fingertips,
go under the eyes first
and I’ve found that my smoothest fingers
are the ring finger
I don’t know why but I
use those for my eyes.
My forehead,
I like to put it on my neck.
And they’re you go.
We’re done with that.
So next step we have Mario Badescu,
it’s a drying lotion.
So I’ve found that if you
have an acne like pimple
that is like burrowing, it’s
getting ready to pop out
and just annoy the hell out of you.
You throw this on it and
it will eliminate it.
It’s worked wonders.
You can’t overuse it
because it definitely dries your skin out
and will make you peel.
But I’ve found that if you have anything
that’s really a problem
like that cystic pimple
that will not go away
or it’s like a pain to push on it.
If you put it over top of
it and leave it overnight,
it usually takes care of it for you.
I’m not gonna use it right now
because I don’t feel like I have to
and I hope I don’t have to later
but yeah, keep that in mind.
Okay so last but certainly not least,
this is not an every night occurrence but
this Creed Aventus is
the best cologne ever.
I’ve used it for probably
like two years now.
A friend of mine put me onto
it and it’s been incredible.
Every cab that I get into,
whether it’s a guy or a girl they’re like,
“Yo, what are you wearing?”
I’m like, “Yo, Creed Aventus”.
It’s a little expensive
so I’ve like learned
to use it sparingly.
When I first got it my friends were like,
“Yo, let me get a spray.”
At that point I’m like, “Yo, 10 bucks,
throw me 10 for this”.
Um, that’s definitely a morning
and night thing, for sure.
Alright and that’s a wrap
on my nighttime routine.
Let me bless you.
Ooohhh.
(uppity beat)
