Med Esthetician Reacts To SAINt JHN’s Nighttime Skincare Routine | Men’s Care? Vit C For Black Skin?
that just happened oh my god today we are reacting to saint john’s or dunes nighttime skincare routine wait for it go to bed with me wait for it harper’s bizarre i don’t know who this is he seems very shirtless to say the least he’s dripping with some ice and i am dripping with some sweat because i live in california and it’s 102 degrees and we currently have wildfires going on in the middle of this pandemic and if you don’t know now you know and if you also didn’t know or if you’re new here hello my name is cassandra benson i’m an expert and i’ve been in the skincare industry for over 10 years and i’ve personally struggled with acne for over 15.
i’m a medical esthetician and although i’ve worked alongside and with both doctors and dermatologists i am not a physician myself that being said i love analyzing scrutinizing and learning from other people’s different skincare routines and it’s not that often that these channels like harper’s bazaar or vogue actually feature men’s skincare let alone skincare for beautifully melanated skin types so let’s react there’s no such thing as being too cool to have beautiful skin i don’t care where you from what you’ve done we’re like three seconds in i’m already like yes yes somebody who gets it hygiene does not belong to a specific gender identity skin care is self-care hygiene is for everyone cleanse tone moisturize spf and then you’re done that’s all i’m saying john i’m gonna show you how to do it first things first you gotta watch your face you gotta get your face right all right cool simple watch right i’m not getting washing my face obviously i’m just wetting it first thing i start with is this it’s a gentle exfoliant so you can really do it for a while first off i love that he knows what a gentle exfoliant is but the water the water at the top my anxiety is crawling up my arms like bugs into my neck and my cheeks right now does anybody else have a parent that drilled it into you to shut off the water when you’re brushing your teeth or doing your face stuff otherwise you gonna get in trouble and by trouble i might or might not mean slapped anybody else other than me okay please turn off the water for the sake of the turtles and our environment and what’s left of the world after 2020 thank you i like lathering my face i like knowing for a fact but i’m giving myself love self-love happens in a mirror in a shower by yourself you know what’s the myth guys who were too tough to take care of their skin that’s the myth they don’t exist they sound dumb i really do take a long time because i really do sincerely genuinely love myself i’m trying to sit here and enjoy and absorb everything he’s talking about because he is spitting truth but i can’t because the water is still running don’t forget your neck too anybody else figures their neck i’m not sure why my mom’s over there water is off we can breathe oh my god i’m actually like a little bit of hyperhidrosis i’m sweating a little bit um because hearing the water just go made me cringe i love that he knows how to use his products i love that he’s bringing them down his neck and he’s actually washing his skin properly wow one thing is that this is an exfoliating cleanser if we turn and learn those ingredients this one is excellent it has coco metapropyl betanine we’ve got some hydrogenated jojoba oil we have some of those aha and bha acids which as he mentioned are mildly exfoliating this seems like a great product at 47 if it’s cruelty free i would definitely spend my money on this um is it safe enough to use every day i wouldn’t use this in the morning just because it has those exfoliating acids but at night totally fine looks like he’s really enjoying it and as a note men usually have slightly thicker and tougher facial skin than women especially kind of here in this kind of bearded or hairy area i love to see that he’s actually getting in there he’s doing the neck this is also going to help him if he deals with ingrowns on the days that he chooses to shave if he shaves because again i don’t know the boy um but i’m excited to get to know him because other than the fact that he runs the water he’s doing everything right i don’t know the difference between a patch ride rubbing a drone all over your face you got sensitive skin you might want to take your time i don’t care that he doesn’t know the difference he at least knows that they both exist thank you thank you the second order of business this is rose hip oil if you’ve never seen it before take a look at that because i’ve been traveling your skin will get dry because you’re traveling whenever you’re in different altitudes different temperatures different climates oh this is the consistency of it it’s not it’s just oil he’s using the ordinary he’s applying it correctly he’s not swiping the dropper across his face this is one of the elites of skin care that we have before us us please continue spreading your knowledge so that we can all be endowed with it because this is what we expect from a skincare routine oh my god and it’s the ordinary it’s inexpensive it’s accessible it’s affordable it’s not 900 for some gold infused oil that was extracted from the livers of baby seals in antarctica like marketing claims don’t even get me started i’m so happy always rub up my mom told me that my mom said you have to fight gravity rub up so i rub up because i don’t want to figure out what happens if i don’t listen to my mom she said rub up and she got gray skin she is a smart woman and she has endowed her son with some of the best life advice ever which should be basic because it’s hygiene skin intelligence skin intelligence but he’s got it and i am so happy if it’s not enough just double back for a generous amount don’t matter it’s your skin you got to know what you need they can’t tell you what what to do on the bottle they ain’t never seen your face they never wake up next you how do you know how much you need they give a general prescribed amount and then you got to figure out what’s best for you my skin feels amazing rosehip seed oil is also great um when you look at its fatty acid profile it has a lot of linoleic acid this is absorbed generally well into the skin we also have beta cytosterols overall this is a great product and it is inexpensive and is from the ordinary in a light sealed container i am so pleasantly surprised and then here’s the last thing because if you really love yourself you’d never neglect vitamin c vitamin c will save you a misery tears and i’m staring at old pictures you won’t be staring at old pictures talking about we used to be sexy he’s very very naked uh he’s a very sexy attractive individual and don’t get that twisted yes i do ride the rainbow train however i can appreciate something attractive when i see it and i don’t think it’s the vitamin c um could totally be wrong overall yes to the vitamin c the one critique that i would have is that this vitamin c i would apply before the oil because the oil can kind of lock and smooth everything in this vitamin c probably should have gone in the step before based on how ideally you would want to layer your products but overall we’re doing really good you don’t want to do that i’m not even doing too much because vitamin c vitamin c has a brightening element meaning if you put too much of something like this on it naturally it’ll brighten your skin that’s not the intention i just want to make sure my skin gets hydrated i just put a drop i will literally just hit it with a drop are you too tough you’re too masculine to put a drop the vitamin c around your orbital bones you don’t want to be sexy in real life i’m going to be half sexy i don’t believe in that i believe just be sexy or go home someone who knows facial anatomy someone who knows what vitamin c does for the skin and how to use their products responsibly i am dying i am dying if it was possible to flip sexualities which hi karen no it’s not this would be the man that does it okay okay look at me i look like i just put on an exfoliating acid over rosacea prone skin i’m so flushed because this person actually knows what he’s doing can i tell you how refreshing this is i love that he embraces his melanated skin that he uses products that work for it some people have questions you know if you have very dark skin if you are black african american south indian beautifully pigmented are you able to use things such as exfoliating acids can you use vitamin c because it says brightening and we don’t want to bleach or whiten our skin we just want to even out pigmentation yes you can medical research shows that beta hydroxy acids like salicylic acid are generally better than something like glycolic acid for more darker skin tones however it’s perfectly fine and again patch tests start small buildup even vitamin c totally fine again he’s applying it right here around the eye areas use a small amount of vitamin c on any dark spots or pigmentation kojic acid even alpha arbutin is great um there is hydroquinone which i do not recommend at this time speak to your doctor about it they might recommend it but you really do not want to bleach skin and you don’t want to cause rebound hyperpigmentation which is why something like hydroquinone or a high amount of alpha arbutin you might want to steer clear from but small amounts of kojic acid niacinamide licorice vitamin c for those brightening and skin pigment evening effects 110 and plus i know the trick fam i know it’s this finger girls don’t tell you it’s this finger you got to use this one because this is supposed to be the one that applies the least amount of pressure so when you’re just tapping it like this because the skin underneath your eye is the most sensitive skin on your entire body he respects his collagen and elastin you guys i don’t know if i’m gonna cry or faint oh my god there’s no such thing as being too cool to have beautiful skin i don’t care where you from what you’ve done bumpy greasy beating broken ruffle skin that ain’t what you really want i don’t care what you’re looking in mirror and tell yourself i know what you really need i know what you really want and you’re probably gonna need some vitamin c you’re gonna need some rosehip oil and plus you’re gonna need an exfoliant i am so happy he is so in tune with his skin he knows what it needs he is breaking beauty barriers by helping everyone understand that skin care is self-care skin care and even beauty should not be attached to a masculine or feminine these are things that transcend the gender spectrum we all need to respect them now turn that into a wrap but really when i look at the ingredients of this mad hippie serum it is vegan and cruelty free 40 with some amazing ingredients we do have that vitamin c we have ferulic acid and vitamin e to stabilize it we have kojak root which was mentioned can also kind of help just even out pigmentation and give brightness without any bleaching or color change we’ve got vegetable glycerin which is soothing this is a perfect example of an easy simple not overwhelming yet highly targeted and effective skincare routine i’m just i’m wow wow i’m tired i’ve been on a lot of planes trains and automobiles i want to go to bed bye we just did that that just happened oh my god normally i’m speechless because somebody puts like apricot scrubs inside of their eyeballs they try to take a toothbrush full of toothpaste to one of their pimples this was so refreshing he knows everything he did it right he’s using excellent products with great ingredients that are not overpriced i’m sure he’s a celebrity you saw his ice his bling he can afford a 400 lemare tube of bs that someone sang to for two years while it was sitting and rotting on a shelf before it ended up in a nordstrom department store and sold to your great aunt who forgot to use it put it in her shelf for a year and then gave it to your mom as a christmas gift for no good reason ah i am just i’m so impressed the only correction that i would have is using that vitamin c serum before the oil so that the vitamin c could actually penetrate and the oil could lock everything in um hope that he’s using a sunscreen during the day again this was his night routine but like this right here this right here is skincare royalty royalty so many of these harper’s bizarre videos are so bad we’ve had celebrities scrub their epidermises off we’ve had other ones spend 400 on crap skin care or use devices that do nothing for their face please click one of these if you want to see what i’m talking about but overall do like st john respect your skin love your hygiene break down beauty barriers and gender stereotypes and remember to be youthful both inside and out love you guys and i’ll see you right here bye
