My Nighttime Skincare Routine for Dry Skin | #SKINCARE
[Music] hi everyone welcome back I have another skincare routine for you I’m gonna show you a nighttime skincare routine for those of you with dry skin these are my people I lean a little more towards normal to dry but I would say that most of the time I treat my skin like dry skin with the products that I use so I’m going to show you the types of products I would use in a typical nighttime skincare routine before I get started this video is sponsored by l’oreal paris i’m excited to talk to you guys a little bit more later on in this video about the l’oreal paris derm intensives collar on acid ampules they are ampules and I’m really excited to talk to you about these because you guys asked about hyaluronic acid all the time so I’m going to share a little bit more information about these and hyaluronic acid in general you can see I don’t have a ton of makeup on I’ve been out of the Sun all day with my toddler running around with him and everything knit really comb my hair or anything I do have a lot of sunscreen on and you guys always ask about sunscreen and whether you need to actually double cleanse use an oil-based cleanser as your first cleanse when you are just wearing sunscreen and the answer is absolutely sunscreen is actually hard to get off of your skin and I think that using an oil-based cleanser is a great way to loosen it up to help get it off since this is a nighttime skincare routine which is more so my type of nighttime skincare routine I want to bring out one of my old favorites this is the Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm you guys know I’ve been a big fan of this for a very long time it’s a little bit pricey I admit that one of the reasons why I like it though for my skin specifically for dry skin is because it has a star flower oil in this and that oil has a fatty acid that’s really great for your skin one of the reasons why I love it for dry skin specifically is because I consider dry skin to be on the it salt sensitive skin truly the way to think of your skin when it’s dry is that you have a damaged skin barrier it doesn’t mean that you’re leaning towards completely sensitive and irritated but you’re on your way so when you have dry sand you have to be really careful you don’t want to let it get to that point where it’s dry and flaky and you have patches and you have irritation on your skin because that’s when it gets really hard to reverse and you really have to be gentle and careful with your skin so when my skin is feeling really try I like to think of it as almost damaged skin and damaged skin barrier so everything that I use I want it to help replenish that skin barrier everything that I use in my skincare routine that I tend to like will either be repairing my skin barrier the anti-inflammatory I have antioxidants anything that’s gonna help repair my skin so that’s why I like this one for my skin star flower oil has fatty acids in it that help to repair and replenish your skin and they’re very anti-inflammatory so you won’t get that irritation on your skin I feel like it’s also very moisturizing and because it’s an oil you’re not stripping your skin and you’re not losing more of that moisture that you need in your skin when you have dry skin so I’m gonna start with this I’ve obviously been using it it also has a nice scent to it I’m not gonna lie you guys know that I don’t mind my my scented products I have a few usually in my skincare routine but especially when it’s a wash off product this one reminds me of being in a spa this is you know I want to feel fancy and I want to make sure I get everything off this is one I go to so I don’t have any mascara on so I’m just gonna I’m not gonna use too much cuz I don’t really need to I can get the chest cuz I have enough and then I’m gonna add a little water emulsify it and then I’m gonna rinse it off I always love to show this Mulla thought it drips all over the place when I show it to you on camera but usually my face is right over the sink when I do this all right I have rinsed off my oil-based cleanser and now I go in with my second cleanse and this is where it’s gonna get a little bit different this is for people with truly dry skin I tend to go with gel cleanser at this point but if you have really dry skin you need something like this it is by allies of skin this is their molecular silk immuno hydrating cleanser and what I like about this is that it’s actually very unique I think this is just a really unique cleanser and if you like to cleanse your face in the morning this would be a good one for you even if you have oily skin this would be really good one and I’ll tell you why it has different oils in it it has amino acids in it which are really good at replenishing and strengthening for your skin it has hyaluronic acid in it which is hydrating it also has organic safflower oil which is high and linoleic acid which is actually good for people with clogged pores acne oily skin there are antioxidants in this from green and white tea there is also lactic acid in this it’s a little bit lower in the ingredients list of what I consider that and a cleanser to do is truly to actually hydrate your skin yes it’ll help brighten your skin a little bit more but it’s not truly going to be a strong exfoliator in a cleanser like this it’s truly just gonna help hydrate your skin because a lot of the time Ajay’s hydrate your skin especially lactic acid specifically so for people with dry skin lactic acid is a great HHA to look into it also has a vitamin C derivative to help brighten your skin but truly what I like about this is the texture of it all those different ingredients that it has in it and it also has a pH of 5.
2 to 5.5 so when you have dry skin especially because you’re really on the border of cavity and damaged skin barrier if you don’t already so you really want to balance those pH levels in your skin I want to show you because it’s super interesting I swear I saw somebody else using this I think it might have been even Hiram but look at that it looks kind of like a gel and you can actually apply it to dry skin which I’m gonna do now my face would actually be right now because I wouldn’t have stopped and then you know start talking to you guys when my skin is bright off now but you can actually use this as a first cleanse if you are only using a sunscreen I like to use it as my second cleanse and it feels so nice on the skin look at that texture of it it’s really nice it does not feel oily though so that’s something to keep in mind it feels more like a gel cleanser even though it has those oils in it because it also has that hyaluronic acid in it but I love it it’s gentle it’s not so gonna strip your skin and it feels so nice it’s just a really interesting cleanser to me the minute I got it I was like ooh I can’t wait to put this on my face it feels so cool all right next up I think everyone with dry skin needs Ajay’s in their life I love to use some kind of a toner today I’m gonna go in with this one by crave beauty it’s like a lu lujah que la que la lu lujah you can never say it right so sorry Leah I always put it but I love this toner it’s very gentle the reason why I like this is it has like colic acid in it it’s a sugar cane derived glycolic acid it also has a really great ingredients in it kale spinach parsley those are really good for antioxidants for your skin which are really healing it also has hyaluronic acid vitamin b5 but mostly what I like about it for people with dry skin is that it’s very gentle on your skin even though it’s really gonna help brighten your skin and help you with any dark marks that you might have hyperpigmentation it has an ingredient and it called allantoin if I’m saying that right which is really nourishing for the skin it’s really great for people that have potentially a damaged skin barrier so again if you have dry skin might be walking down that road if you don’t already have a damaged skin barrier it really helps stop irritation so if you’ve ever been worried about using some kind of toner like this this one is great for you to try because it’s going to be gentle it’s gonna help buffer out any of that potential irritation that you might experience so I’m going to open that up using one of these reusable Cotton’s I’m trying to guys I’m trying to be better so I’ve been using these I put I put a good amount and now I’m just gonna press this to my skin also I never use my chemical exfoliating toners to cleanse my skin we’re not doing that we’re not cleansing our skin with these we are just adding them to our skincare routine to help brighten our skin and to hydrate our skin to get that started you can even take this without a cotton pad and you can just Pat it into your skin because truly you’re trying to get the exfoliating benefits of it so I just Pat it into my skin somewhat gentle that way all right so right after I use my exfoliating toner I always like to use something like this this is the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift derm intensives pure hyaluronic acid ambulance just so you guys know this is what it looks like when you open it up it has seven different ampules in it and I feel like ampules are actually starting to become really popular in the u.
s. we’re gonna see more and more and feels and think you know it’s already a big thing in Europe and peels have been around forever especially in French skin care I just like to pop out one of these if you’re wondering why an ampule there are other ingredients besides hyaluronic acid in these and that is a really important note for you guys you can buy hyaluronic acid and it’s just hyaluronic acid and that’s fine hyaluronic acid on its own is great for dry skin it attracts water and you know it can hold a thousand times its weight in water and it also helps to plump your skin so once you put it on your skin looks smoother and plumper because of the effect that it has on your skin but for me when I get hyaluronic acid I always like to look for a hyaluronic acid serum that has different molecular weight hyaluronic acid in it and so you want the lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid you want the higher molecular weight hyaluronic acid a combination is gonna help really penetrate different layers of your skin this also has a lot more in it and because it’s in an ampule format it’s fresh until you actually pop it open it has other hydrating ingredients like glycerin which happens to be one of my favorite humectants it has antioxidants like vitamin C to help brighten and protect your skin and strengthen it it also has rice seed extract again for the antioxidant benefits of it but also because it helps to soothe your skin which again when you have dry skin you especially want that soothing effect it also has vitamins b5 and b3 which are great for your skin so it just has a wonderful cocktail of ingredients in it and it stays fresh until you pop it open so you just go like that and then I just pour it into my hand I usually get about two uses from one ampule it has a gel like texture but it’s a little bit more watery and I Pat this into my skin and I want my skin usually to be damp again because I’ve been talking to you my skin’s not that damp it I especially like to use it after I use a chemical exfoliant because I think that it helps to really stop any potential irritation that you would get from it my skin looks smoother and more hydrated its plumper immediately and after seven days your skin will actually look smoother and plumper and in turn your wrinkles will be a little less visible so that’s one of the reasons why I like hyaluronic acid but these specifically are awesome because they come in an ampule so you get that high concentration of all those active ingredients and they stay fresh every time you pop one open you’ve got fresh ingredients and actually whenever I use some type about hyaluronic acid serum I like to go in with a toner that is a hydrating toner this is by true botanicals this is their nutrient mist it’s also have some really nice oils in it sorry I had to spray right away because I’m letting it dry out and I that’s the last thing I wanted to do you never want your hyaluronic acid to dry out I go to town with my toner this is the time in your skincare routine to put on your toner because you just want everything to be a little bit more damp especially because your hyaluronic acid attracts water you want it to have that hydration to attract okay it’s a nighttime skincare routine so obviously I have retinol in my routine this is one that I’m stepping up to it is the obagi clinical retinol point five retexturizing cream they say it has entrapped retinol I think that means it has encapsulated retinol which means that it’s going to release slowly over time and not be as irritating it also has chamomile and white tea and green tea extracts so that has the antioxidants and chamomile to help really sooth your skin so it doesn’t get irritated I like this one I only just started using it though so I’m only going to use a little bit I’m just going to do one pump into my hand that’s all you need and I know what you guys are thinking I use that glycolic acid toner and I’ll tell you why I have them in one routine for dry skin because that could be a combination for a mess right but the reason why I have them is because dry skin gets flaky you need to speed up skin cell turnover and when you have dry skin you give that flakiness right so you want to help turn that over so the glycolic acid one that I chose specifically the one from create Beauty is very gentle for your skin so I never even feel like it’s irritating my skin and causing my other actives to be too strong for my skin if you have really sensitive skin you can’t do that but for my skin I totally can and I think that people a dry skin actually need some kind of a combination like that because retinol which is a retinoid what it’s doing for your skin is actually speeding up that skin cell turnover and then you need the chemical exfoliant to help whisk it away essentially so there’s a process that’s happening if you feel like using those in the same routine it’s a little too much for your skin and then I would move your H a toner or whatever glycolic acid HHA that you’re using if it’s a serum or whatever it is I would move that to your morning skincare routine instead if you really feel like it’s irritating your skin but for my skin it’s not and I find that this is Obagi clinical retinol it’s actually really gentle too because again it’s encapsulated or entrapped as they say so it releases the retinol over time and I also really like that it has really moisturizing ingredients in it there’s shea butter in it there are different oils in it so together it makes this really nice cream that feels really good on your skin if you truly have dry skin you don’t want to just use retinol you want to then go in with something like this this is by Bioderma it’s their added erm intensive balm so it’s their ultra suiting balm I know it looks like it’s only for the body but it’s actually for your face and for your body I think they have another one that’s specifically for the body that has blue around the cap this one is for face and body and the reason why I suggest is for people with dry skin especially if you have an actual damaged skin barrier so if your skin starts to be cracking and red then this is a really good moisturizer for your face and for your body and the reason for it is because it helps to restore your lipid barrier it also feels really nice and light on your skin but it’s a really great moisturizer even though it is really nice and moisturizing it doesn’t feel greasy and thick on your skin so this is one if you have dry skin load up on this it will last you or ever I promised I also use it for my body though so just gonna get myself a pump and see like I said it doesn’t look like a real rich cream even though it actually is so I put this on my skin and PS if you are only just starting retinol you can put this on first protect your skin give it that moisture barrier that it needs and then go in with your retinol on top of it until your skin gets used to it it feels so good it’s one of my absolute favorite lotions I love this stuff and I put this all over my body my skin feels nice and soft and moisturized and treated and not dry whatsoever and I know I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and my skin is just gonna feel so so good I did want to make them an honorable mention of this by alchemists it is their genius sleeping collagen you guys I’ve done a video on this I spent 30 days using it and I love it if you’re looking for a really good moisturizing and hydrating sleeping mask this is one that I would recommend it lasts forever I only use a little bit because it feels a little bit oily on your skin actually I’m going to show you it feels a little oily on your skin I only use about that much naturally I’ll go ahead and put it on cuz it feels great so I like to warm it up in my hands and then I press it into my skin you don’t need a lot of it I almost always had that product as a standby when I need it and it never fails me and last a little bit of lip balm I’m almost out of this bad boy I love glossy as bomb calm this is the mango on and it’s very lovely I always go for something really occlusive for nighttime that way I don’t have to wake up with dry lips and that was a nighttime skin care routine for dry skin again thank you so much to L’Oreal Paris for sponsoring this video if you guys have any questions about any of the products that I use or if you want to suggest any skincare routines that you want to see next tell me in the comments find me on Instagram I’m at Susan Yara and I’ll talk to you soon bye bye [Music]
