PRISON SKINCARE ROUTINE
what’s up you guys welcome to today’s
video as you can tell by the title we’re
gonna be doing my general prison
skincare routine now this is the routine
that I did while I was serving time in
prison there were different variations
of this routine that I’m about to show
you for those either don’t know I have
served time in prison on a couple of
occasions I’m a recovering drug addicts
with over eight years of sobriety I’ve
been out of prison for six and I have
been off of parole for like two and
change if this is the first video you
are watching of me please go down to the
description box and watch other videos
so that you can just get a backstory on
Who I am I am in no way making light of
going to prison I’m only doing this
video because so many of you guys
requested it and it’s fun and sometimes
I do fun entertaining videos and yeah
that further ado let’s go ahead and get
started
[Music]
okay so first thing in the morning you
would wash your face now in the street
we have all different kinds of face wash
I use the purity cleanser or servi from
the drugstore I love those those are my
favorite and then I will normally use an
exfoliator and we’ll get there but when
you’re in jail or prison there are two
different things and I’ll link to that
video where I explain them in
description box down below it’s kind of
old all my older videos are so
embarrassing to me but all you would
have was water so where’s my hair tie
you would have hair ties to but they
wouldn’t be like see how this hair tie
is like kind of thick they wouldn’t look
like that they were very thin hair ties
so girls that had thicker hair who
really struggled okay I’m gonna wash my
face now I did just wash my hands before
I sat down relax I will be touching my
face throughout this video it’s cold oh
my god it’s cold
reminds me of jail so you really just
all you have is all you have is water
and you really just want to make sure
that your eyes are you know not crusty
and we would have wash clothes like this
in prison everyone gets a towel and a
washcloth do you get more than one do
you get more than one towel no yeah yeah
you just you just get one towel if I
remember correctly it’s really important
that your skin is very very dry I’m
gonna show you the first technique for
exfoliating your skin so you are able to
have far soap in prison and obviously
because you need to wash your body but I
would wash my face with this only once a
day but if I’m exfoliating I would just
use water just to start with
and once my face is very very dry like
has to be super super dry
I haven’t exfoliated for a few days just
so I could show you guys um you take a
toothbrush and you use circular motions
on your face now if your face is super
dry and jails and prisons have really
hard water like I can already see some
you guys are not gonna be able to see I
can see some some dry skin flaking off
of my face
now this looks insane but it it works
and your skin feels so smooth after this
so as crazy as this looks it really did
work I remember the first girl that
showed me this I must have looked like a
crusty mess and she’s like girl your
skin is so dry come here and we would
get free toothbrushes they were very
small they were white toothbrushes from
our like cream color from the state
they’re called issuance like issuance
would be a roll of toilet paper a tiny
little thing of bar soap which can be
made into so many things y’all don’t
even want to know and a toothbrush and a
little thing of glue
I mean toothpaste and that would be your
issuance so my skin feels pretty soft
and I have showed you guys this
technique before but I’m just gonna show
you just really quickly to throw it in
here if I was in County Jail and I had
time to do the whole routine
I would also work on my eyebrows before
I put anything else on my face the way
that we would do eyebrows is with string
I’m not sure if you guys can see both
can see that right so we would use
string and we would thread our eyebrows
and it works so good so I would
definitely touch up my eyebrows in the
morning and just come underneath and
over the top and do whatever you got to
do to get any hair off of your face so
yeah I used to be so good at this that
people would actually pay me to do their
eyebrows not only would they pay me to
do them but my hands would be so cut
open because I would be threading
eyebrows for so long so never let people
know that you have a talent because if
they know then yes you can make some
money but my hands were cut open and
bleeding
okay so now what I’m gonna do is I’m
going to make a face scrub do you guys
out a little bit so how do we make a
face scrub with coffee with coffee
grounds now I was on the Ulta website
and I actually saw a coffee scrub the
other day and I thought
what we did this in jail prison I’m just
going to use this toothbrush since no
one else is gonna use it since I just
wrote my face all over it
so with just a little bit of water that
looks disgusting and it’s probably too
much water so let me get more coffee
grounds in here you want coffee grounds
that are really coarse so that when you
do apply it to your face and you look
crazy for a second you can really kind
of you know scrub off that stuff sugar
can also be used as an exfoliant to do
what you gotta do man you do what you
got to do so I know a lot of people
would apply a little bit of melted bar
soap into their exfoliant super easy to
do you just take a few slivers of a bar
soap and you put it in here I’m not
gonna break this apart right now cuz I
am going to use it for something else
there isn’t really good but you know for
the point of the video this will still
work to make my point here but a lot of
people would put all different kinds of
things coffee sugar bar soap a little
bit of lotion so that your skin isn’t
super super dry but I always just did
like a really simple coffee little bit
of soap in water and use that to scrub
my face I know you guys are like oh my
god you’re putting coffee on your face I
have really sensitive skin and I haven’t
never broken out from this so that is
good news but it’s happening it’s about
to happen I would just use my hands oh
yeah I don’t know why I’m trying to use
a brush and I would just do it circular
motions I’m sorry but I’ve just never
looked more beautiful than I look right
now
um so yeah this is kind of crazy but
it’s just what we did man to be fair I
didn’t see a ton of people doing a
coffee scrub a lot of people just didn’t
care if their skin was dry or not but it
really did bother me because I’m super
super dry so
I’m gonna go wet my washcloth and take
this off of my face I’ll be right back
so now I have half of the washcloth wet
and half of the washcloth dried zoom in
now so what I would do is I would just
wipe it off just like that and rinse off
the coffee in the sink I don’t have a
mirror so I’m having to use the
viewfinder bear with me guys okay so now
that that is off of my face I take the
dry side and just dry my face and that
is our coffee scrub I’m not gonna lie my
face feels really soft now I would never
do this unless it was for you guys but
man my skin feels really soft so then it
is not over this train wreck is not over
ladies to them and no it is not so we
would then put lotion on our face now
you’re not gonna get a V no lotion in a
prison you’re gonna get something called
lotion and it is in a tiny bottle that
kind of looks like this video powder
container it’s a little bit smaller and
kind of around and it just says lotion
on it or you could get cocoa butter
which I love cocoa butter which that was
also very helpful when I was pregnant in
prison as well so I would use cocoa
butter to lotion my body was but cocoa
butter does kind of make me break out so
I was just very lucky that the prison
lotion didn’t make my skin break out so
we would go in with our moisturizer
which is the lotion now um my skin
actually feels so frickin soft right now
that’s crazy
so once the lotion that kind of sinks
into my skin I’m gonna go in with
something else because I didn’t like how
shiny my face was all the time so I’m
just gonna wait a few minutes for the
lotion to kinda just you know absorb
into my skin it has been a couple of
minutes now I only do this in like
county jail if I was going out to the
hall and I was gonna see some guys y’all
know
I mean I hated how shiny and red at my
face was and I would use baby powder
when I was in Arkansas prison because we
were working in the south on something
called field squad or chain gang which
is something that I did now when I was
in chain gang and I’ll link that video
down below it was I was not on a chain
but the work was the same so mm-hmm
that was that was fun don’t break the
law okay
okay especially not in the south because
they’re not playing games but I would
just take a little bit of powder and I
would just put it right in my t-zone
where I get oily and I swear to you this
just kept me dry throughout the day and
I know that sounds confusing that I have
dry skin but I have I guess technically
had a combination skin because my t-zone
gets kind of oily which i think is
pretty common but I would just put that
all in my t-zone so that it could reduce
a little bit of the redness and a little
bit of the oil and that ladies and
gentlemen is how we do skin care in
prison people in prison are so clever
and they’re so innovative and they can
do so much with so little
and I think I’ve proved that a couple of
times on my channel as far as recipes or
prison makeup or now prison skin care
just because they made a mistake and
they’re behind bars does not mean that
they’re dumb doesn’t mean they’re not
creative doesn’t mean they’re not good
people it doesn’t mean they’re not
talented
I’ve seen some of the most talented
people behind bars and quite often
they’re forgot about and I just want to
throw in here that half of all
incarcerated people are serving time on
a nonviolent drug offense a lot of
people are in there because trauma led
to a drug addiction so I want to
encourage all of you to be a little bit
more understanding and a little bit more
kind when topics of prison reform come
up I love you guys stay safe stay sober
please do not break the law you can get
a coffee scrub at Ulta and I’ll see you
guys in my next one
