get into it [Music] [Applause] [Music] did you guys like that I got a new like intro video isn’t it cute okay anyway um so yeah we’re doing my skincare which is like ridiculously extra like it’s just way too many steps and it’s honestly like it’s so much and you probably don’t have to do anywhere near the amount that I do honestly also I only do this once a week once or twice a week depending on how bad my skin feels but this is definitely not an everyday thing so I just want to go ahead and throw that out there before you’re like watching and you’re like oh my god like how do you have time to do this everyday no it’s once or twice a week I usually do it on like Sundays maybe Saturday night Sunday just like a day when I could relax and chill and just feel all pampered and stuff and then I have like this little robe on so I can feel like I’m having like an at-home spa day but yeah so the first thing that I do is because I usually have some sort of makeup on right now I think I just have mascara on from earlier so I’m gonna take these cotton rounds and I’m just gonna take this pixie vitamin C juice cleanser um and it’s basically I feel like this is basically the same thing as like a micellar water or the same concept pretty much but it’s like a no rinse cleanser I just use this first to get off like my makeup and mascara and stuff and you just like press it you press down on there you press down on the top of it and then it wets it and then I’m literally just gonna like wipe in my face especially around my eyes good I know there’s mascara there see it’s very gentle very safe to use on your eyes it doesn’t like burn or sting or anything and I’m just gonna get one more and then do like a quick what Serena ik weet quick like sweep of the rest of my face with the same stuff and this stuff smells really good it smells like oranges I guess cuz it’s it’s a vitamin C cleanser but it smells like oranges and you like concealer or anything that I might not have gotten off okay all done with that okay so now I’m just gonna wet my face really quickly before we get into cleanser like I know that was a cleanser but it’s like a no rinse cleanser like a more like a makeup remover um but next we’re gonna use this cleanser from I can never I can never say this from Ole Henriksen Olay Henriksen I I know I say this wrong a lot him like said I think is how it’s supposed to be sick I don’t know but anyway that’s all the cleansers that we’re gonna use next I’m just gonna wet my face really quick and I’ll be right back alright now that my face is wet I’m gonna take this cleanser and this is called the Wonder filled double cleanser and it’s super gentle I love it so much and it doesn’t it’s like a cream cleanser it doesn’t like thumbs up or anything really but it’s also like oh gosh I still have a nose ring in that’s not smite I should take that out okay sorry guys I’m gonna take my nose ring out sorry if it’s gross for a second here we go yeah I’m just gonna wrap this in and like I said it’s very gentle and it’s like creamy and moisturizing and you can use this around your eye area – also not going to like burn or hurt it at all and you can’t really see it because like I said it doesn’t really like suds up or anything like soap but I can feel it it’s definitely coming my face I love this stuff so much I got sent this for free one time and now I like continue to buy it because it’s not good and they sell it at Sephora also it smells amazing it smells so good alright so alright now I’m going to rinse this off in my sink like right here you just can’t see it cuz the way my bathroom is set up there’s not really a room for me to put the camera facing that way but yeah I think I’m like counter and all my stuff is like right there in case you were wondering anything that that vitamin C cleanser didn’t get off I feel like this definitely did like I don’t necessarily feel clean after using that cleanser it feels more like I said like a makeup remember it’s really good for getting the makeup off but I still feel like I need to wash my face you know but I’m on a regular basis like during the day or when I wake up in the morning I use that to just wipe off anything like sweat or anything that might have got on my face while sleeping I don’t wash my face in the morning um I just do the that vitamin C cleanser that no Rentz cleanser cuz it’s just you know faster and easier and then I’m like actually wash my face at night because you know you’ve been outside I’m like pollution and like air and stuff I feel and I’m probably most likely sweating throughout the day so I feel more like I need wash my face at night than I do in the morning ok so we’re done with that cleanser next I’m going to exfoliate so I use this bliss micro magic skin renewing microdermabrasion scrub I use this to exfoliate so I’m just gonna wet my face again before I apply that one suck alright so I wet my face again let’s go ahead and exfoliate so I’m just gonna take a little bit actually I took kind of more than I’m gonna do but it’s okay and I like to like focus extra around like my smile lines because I’ve like when I put on makeup my foundation likes to like settle into here and I feel like it’s not as bad if it’s exfoliated so I definitely like to focus there and this is like kind of clincal II like I don’t know if it’s like smells like it might have like a mint or something in it whatever it is it smells really good but it does tingle when you put it on and I tried not to get too close to my eyes with this cuz it’s definitely not as gentle as my cleansers all right now I’m gonna go ahead and rinse this off and you do want to make sure that you rinse this off really well because you can feel a little like grainy like beets left behind if you don’t so just make sure you get those all off I don’t know what they actually are um it says volcanic pumice Pumas don’t know how to pronounce I’d is it Pumas pumice POA mi see like I think that’s what those things are called those like rocks that you have those stones that you like to use on the bottom of your feet if they’re like cracky you know anyways um volcanic Pumas or pumice whatever it’s called that’s what’s in this and you can definitely feel it if you don’t um lend us your face off really well if you don’t get it completely off you can definitely still feel it on your skin so make sure that you get it off alright now that my face is rinsed like I said you can definitely feel the like tingling there’s definitely some sort of like mint or something in it that makes your skin like tingle it’s kind of a good feeling like for me I like it it’s like a cooling feeling um but just if you don’t like that type of sensation then I wouldn’t necessarily recommend buying that exfoliator but yeah so next we’re gonna go in with a toner this is by botanics and I got this out of Target I believe and then also the bliss came out of target as well and the pixie came out of it and I really like target and bliss is also an Ulta though and this might also be an Ulta and the hoola Henrick Center honorees a it cleanser that came out of Sephora yeah um but yeah so we’re gonna take this toner um and I’d like to just put it like on my fingers it said I think it says to use like a cotton ball or something yeah so excuse a cotton pad but honestly like I like my fingers better I feel like when I use cotton pads I get little bits of cotton strapped to my face which I do not want so yeah I’m just gonna put it like on the tips of my fingers and just kind of rub it together and then just like press it into my skin next after my toner I use an essence this one is the hydrating water essence from ELF this is super super affordable elf actually has pretty decent skincare if you’re on a budget when I first started off like really doing like a skincare routine all of my products were from ELF if you’re looking to not spend a lot like this is a great starter brand and yeah and I still use some of their products so I’m going to do the same thing I’m just going to press it into my skin with my fingers okay next we are gonna do serums so first I’m gonna do the revolution active collagen it’s a skin firming solution um I pretty much use this for like because like I said I get like smile lines right here so I really try to focus the collagen serum around here we’re like I have wrinkles and then also kind of around my eyes and like around here where you get like crow’s feet I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to put it all over but I don’t really do that I just more so put it in the areas where I feel like I need it and then I just like rub it in so yeah I try to get like around my eye area and my smile I’m sorry I just really don’t you know what wrinkles and actually you know I’m gonna put some on my forehead too cuz cuz I like a crease my forehead a lot and eventually I’m going to have lines there if I keep doing that so I’m just gonna go ahead and do that and then like the excess that’s left over I’ll spread around my face and next I’m gonna use the pixie of vitamin C serum yeah this one kind of grosses me out because it’s like an orangish yellow brown color like it kind of looks like pee but it’s um it’s vitamin C so I guess that’s why it’s that color but yeah I’m just kind of gonna do the same I’m just gonna put a couple of drops on my face and rub them in and this again smells like oranges because it’s vitamin C just gonna get that all over my face okay perfect so now that we’re done with serums what I’m gonna do is a face mask and I’m gonna do under eye patches so my under eye patches are from wander beauty and then my face mask that I’m gonna do today I kind of like rotate out face mask the mask that I’m gonna do today is the botanics hydration burst hydrating face sheet mask and this is botanics this is the same brand as my toner so like I said this is in target please I can’t remember these I think are from Sephora launder beauty I’m pretty sure they’re from Sephora or somewhere online but I’m not entirely sure but yeah so we’re gonna do both of these together at the same time kind of slimy there’s clothes under my eyes I can get it without it like being in my you know these are good for like swelling like puffy under eyes and then also like dark circles which I get sometimes so especially when I don’t sleep which is pretty often yeah so then I’m just going to put the sheet mask over it and I am about to look like a serial killer so that’s gonna be fine yeah yeah it’s very like wet and gross feeling yeah why can’t I get this unfolded okay there we go okay no almost did I do this very way no I think it’s this way perfect feels so attractive right now goes and then I cause these little like ear things which are awesome because regular basis usually like slide around and fall off your face if you try to do anything in them the bottom part hooks onto your ears yeah so it’s like secure on your face so it’s not gonna go anywhere which is amazing I love this make sure that it’s pressed one and yeah I’m gonna just normally I would watch like a youtube video or listen to music or something while I wait um so yeah I’m gonna go do that and I will be back in 15 minutes alright guys I’m back it’s been about 15 minutes I’m gonna go ahead and take this off oh oh gosh alright and these I’m just kind of gonna rub the rest of that into my face and I’m gonna try to bring some down to my neck – all right so next after I feel like that’s all pretty much soaked into my skin next I’m gonna do I cream and I use the bliss radiance boosting eye cream with vitamin C and it’s this little bottle right here only need a tiny little bit under my eyes and I go cut around the top of my eyes too I love this eye cream so much okay perfect and now we’re gonna moisturize I’m I kind of switch back and forth between moisturizers depending on the day depending on how my skin’s feeling so right now it’s night time if it was daytime or foes planning a boy outside after this I would use this Neutrogena hydro boost city shield water gel because it has SPF in it it’s SPS 225 which honestly isn’t enough like I want something that’s a SPF 30 or higher I just haven’t found anything yet so if you have suggestions for a good moisturizer that’s like SPF 30 or more leave that down below in the comments please thank you um but yeah so folks going outside it would use this and I use this in the mornings before I walk outside but I’m not gonna use it right now because it is nighttime so what I am going to use is I’m going to use this Henriksen um C rush brightening gel cream and this is just gonna be my first moisturizer I’m gonna do another one but mmm I love things skincare that smells like oranges but yeah I’m just going to apply this to my face and next I’m going to use my hello hydration face cream this is from ELF and this has hyaluronic acid in it which is why I like it I try to use at least one thing with hyaluronic acid I do have a hyaluronic acid serum too so if I usually if I use the serum then I won’t use this moisturizer or vice versa but since I didn’t use that serum today I’m going to use I’m going to use this face cream just for some added moisture because my skin gets very very dry I’m just gonna make sure all my products are like pressed into my skin and my skin feels so soft and so hydrated it desperately needed this cuz I haven’t done it yet this week and the last thing what I’m gonna do is I’m just going to put on a lip balm but yeah that’s it that’s my skin this is what it looks like after everything is done I feel super hydrated and just like soft and I love doing my skincare routine obsessive a but it is super super extra I know and like I said like you do not have to do all of this if I was gonna just like recommend some of it um I would definitely say you know the cleanser the exfoliator a toner and then just like a serum and moisturizer and then okay so I’m basically gonna name everything and the SPF is really important for like when you’re walking outside so yeah I would recommend doing that like in the morning but um yeah like the face mask the little eye things they’re not like necessary I personally just really like doing them I’m sure they help but like I don’t know they just make me feel relaxed and they make me feel more like dewy and glowy and you know anyway um also I occasionally like steamed my face too at home which I didn’t do today but if you would like to see a video on how I do that how I do like facial steaming they let me know down below and I will definitely make a video for you guys but yeah that’s pretty much it this is it I hope you liked the video I hope you enjoyed watching I hope you can find something in it’s like implement into your skincare routine at home if you have any questions definitely leave them down below in the comments and I will answer them for you to the best of my ability because I’m not a professional I do not know what I’m doing like this is what works for me so it may or may not work for you and this might not be like the order that things were supposed to go in or whatever but this is just the order that I do them in and what works best for me so yeah just wanted to point that out and if you have like acne or like specific problems that you’re trying to target I would definitely recommend like going to see an aesthetician to get recommendations for things you should use instead of like trying to find things on YouTube like get someone to actually look at your skin and recommend things for you my biggest problem area is just that I have really dry skin so this is what it works for me for that but yeah that’s it I hope you’ve enjoyed video and
