Routines | Morning Skincare
hey guys welcome back to my channel so i never thought today would come uh as you guys might remember i did film a morning routine video a while ago where i just kind of talked through what i do in my morning routine and it’s been on my mind for a while because if you guys follow me on instagram or like literally have watched any of these videos where i end up talking about skincare i am obsessed with skin care and so i finally just bit the bullet and i filmed a morning skincare routine video so as a disclaimer i am not a skincare specialist i just really love it so what i’m doing works for me i don’t have super sensitive skin overall so i can kind of get away with doing different um probably doing more things on my skin without having it freak out on me but that’s not to say that you necessarily should i’ve been doing a lot of sort of youtube research if you will on skincare so i have been really enjoying watching the videos by beauty within skincare by hiram anything with james well should i do kind of a combination of channels that focus more on korean skincare versus like more western styles but also a mix of like the science behind skin care so if you guys are interested in this like i’ve sort of developed my skincare routine based on the different research that i’ve done but like i don’t know how truly in-depth it is so you should definitely do your own research i will link all of those channels down below so if you’re curious and watching some of their videos i do recommend them i really enjoy the the content that they put out and i think it’s been really helpful and like deciding which products to use which products to avoid like what kinds of things i want to focus on in my skin and all of that so without further ado let’s head over to the bathroom okay so i have just finished my shower and as you can see i’m still in my robe and towel and all of that so we need to get out our stuff so the majority of my skincare is in this which if you saw my morning routine video is what i showed you guys and i just use this because my shelves are really really deep so i can actually get to stuff if i put it in here so i know that some people don’t like to cleanse their face in the morning but i honestly just kind of feel better and my skin is okay with it so i do it but i do typically use a really lightweight one so this is one from etude house this is the zika valence 5.
5 foam cleanser and i just really like this one because it’s super gentle so i am not a skincare professional by any means so i’m just as i mentioned before showing you guys what i actually do for my routine so i wet my face a little bit because and getting everything set up filming on i accidentally let my face dry a little bit too much so we just do a quick cleanse in the morning so obviously i chose the towel that was the least stable so that just fell off but that’s okay my hair is short it’ll dry really quickly so i do keep a washcloth that is specifically for drying my face and then i keep a hand towel for everything else and i feel like i don’t know maybe it’s more sanitary whatever so next up we have toner so i keep my little homemade cotton pads in here i actually just did a little laundry so as you can see i’ve only got like two left in here but got one and i think today we’re gonna do the pixi glow tonic so this is a new one for me and it’s not a k beauty toner but i actually really like it um i have no idea how like good it is or what have you i haven’t done a ton of research into it but i know of a couple of friends who use it and they really like it so yeah so swipe on the toner then our next step is going to be essence and i currently only have one essence so i have the time revolution the first treatment essence rx pro ferment a by misha um and i actually so as you can see i’ve got like this much left and actually bought two bottles of this when i was in korea because my friend yuna was like it’s so much more expensive everywhere else this is like the go-to essence and so it’s a lot cheaper to just like buy it there and have a bunch of extra so i won’t i won’t be sad when this one finishes because i do have another bottle so let’s do my top is getting a little bit messy because i’ve been using it for so long just do a little bit of essence up go i normally get my neck better but because i had to i literally binder clipped my robe clothes so that i wouldn’t accidentally flash you guys because you know we try not to do that um but normally i would get a little bit better on my neck but we’re not going to worry about that today let’s see then i think because i’m going to do makeup what do i want to do to let this soak in a little bit better there we go so because i have to do makeup today i’m actually doing this because i have a filming day so i’m gonna use this serum it’s a hydration one and this is actually a french brand that i like because they use um like donkey’s milk i don’t know the like real translation it’s basically like donkey’s milk it’s not the translation i originally like the one i always use um but it’s a really like milky serum and of course i spread it over my hands before i showed you guys um so it’s a really milky serum and i’ll sometimes use this if uh i’m gonna do makeup because then i can do a lighter what’s it called a lighter moisturizer on top and i do like rub anything like any products aside from like sunscreen actually no even sunscreen i rub all of the products into my hands just because my hands are always dry so i like this one kind of as a base and this is honestly not my favorite serum i got it um to try it out and like i’m gonna use it up but it’s probably not one that i would buy again because i tend to like thinner serums in general and i would rather have a lighter face cream but we have it so we’re gonna we’re gonna just use it so i think what i’m gonna do is because i’ll be filming oh i’m gonna pull out makeup okay so because i’m gonna be filming i’m actually gonna use this zika pair tiger grass color correcting treatment by dr jart and this one is like a green tinge so it helps to counteract there we go it helps to counteract some of like the red and i figure since i’m filming that’s probably a good thing let’s make sure we’ve like gotten everything in and actually before i do this we’re gonna do eye cream oops so after i finish doing everything i’ll take you on a little tour of my setup i think i kind of showed you guys back when i did my morning routine or at least in the apartment where i don’t remember um but you guys are gonna see i had a bit of a interesting time setting up for filming and i am not sure how clear all of this footage is going to be because i have a very like shallow counter and i don’t have a lot of space between like my sink and all of that and i don’t have like a medicine cabinet that i could set my camera on so i’ve actually got a bit of a set up where i’ve got um actually so one of the things that i got that was my like little splurge was a skincare fridge and i’ve seen a lot of different things like yes they’re great it helps with de-puffing and like no it actually doesn’t do anything like yes there’s certain products that you can keep in here and ones that like you shouldn’t like all of that and ultimately i decided that i was keeping certain skincare things in my fridge and i wasn’t using them like at all because i’d have to like leave my bathroom and go all the way around and like it just wasn’t it wasn’t easy enough to make into my routine and so i just wasn’t using them so i did finally get a skincare fridge i got one that was pretty inexpensive i know that there are some that are super cute that can be really expensive i was like i’m not gonna spend that much money on it and honestly i’ve been using it like every day um sometimes twice a day at least once a day usually so i keep my eye cream in there i’ll show i’ll show you guys what i have in my little skincare fridge so i do like to keep my eye cream in there because i feel like it does help with the deep huff but is it necessary absolutely not is it a fun little luxury thing because i’m obsessed with skincare yes so i think that our serum is in enough so i’m gonna do and i don’t like this like it’s so hard to get the cream out without making a huge huge mess but we’re gonna try um so one of the things that i like about this one is it does have spf in it as well and when i do this one sometimes i honestly just wear it like by itself as a cream just like for the color correcting and then sometimes i’ll put it under makeup and all of my like push it in my cushion pack and my bb cream both of those have spf but it’s like spf 30 i think so i like doing this just to have like a little extra so that’s why i do i treat this one as it’s an spf but it is like a moisturizer in my opinion so that’s why i did a hydrating serum but then just did this instead of my moisturizer otherwise what i would do is um a regular moisturizer with a light sun screen and like no makeup for example but because we’re doing makeup we’re gonna do that so i had to let it obviously my face is red after like putting it on but uh i think it helps some um and this is one of those like little trial ones that you can get near the checkout at sephora and so it was one that i had heard a lot about this brand it is a korean brand and so i was like i’ll try it and see how i like it i like the cream do i think i’m gonna buy it again i’m not sure we’ll see because i don’t know like a little bit on my hand there um i don’t know how much like it really really helps color correct but it’s a nice like it’s got spf 50 like i like that about it so we shall see um so now actually i think what we’re gonna do is i like to let my face cream like soak in a little bit so i think what i’m going to do is show you guys my setup so one sec so see if i can do this so hello i’ve got my little set up over here so what i do is all of my skincare lives like right down here so this is just pull it out have it on my counter while i’m working i’ve got a little bin for the dirty toner pads until i’m ready to put them in the wash my good one so this is my little skincare fridge and you can see my filming set up over here so inside my skincare fridge oops the top is eye stuff and facial massage i’ve got my eye cream my gouache my jade roller got both sides there and i’ve got a gel mask so i actually have the like cover for this um down with my other face masks and then i usually keep some sheet masks in here but i actually used up the last of them and just haven’t put any more in yet oops it’s always kind of a bit of a struggle there so this is my vitamin c um so i do this one at night and because it is pretty strong i have been mixing it in with some kind of a face cream i’ve got a little waternet lineage water sleeping mask so this is just the test size and i honestly don’t think i’ll buy it again after this i’ve got my little eye masks so this is one i’ve actually had for a while that was in my fridge previously and i always forgot to use them because they were so far away then i have the roller part of my ice roller and the handle is down in my face masks so that um it could actually fit in here because with the handle it would not fit so whoops um she’s not super stuffed uh mostly because i just finished those sheet masks and i haven’t put anything else in there but i’ve been finding that i use the products a lot more because they’re in there so i also have over here this is where i keep all my sheet masks oops so you can see here i’ve got the outer mask part for the gel mask and then all of my sheet masks which i typically do these at night so that’ll have to be a nighttime routine one and then this is my ice roller thingy and i’ve got literally i’ve got skincare stuff like everywhere but these are all mask kind of things so i think that we are good with letting the cream soak in let’s try not to have my camera fall because that would be really sad so basically that is skincare it actually doesn’t really take that long in the morning um and because i was talking it kind of like helped the time pass while i let everything kind of soak in so what we’re gonna do next is simple makeup actually first i have my laneige lip sleeping mask this is one product i actually do really like um it does kind of like wear off like rub off kind of quickly which is annoying but it is really hydrating and so i do use it and i actually honestly use it like a lip balm more than a sleeping mask like i kind of do it for both i do usually at least once in the morning and then um before i go to bed so i have very simple makeup you guys are going to see so i use the mac painterly pot and i think it’s so it’s paint pot and i think painterly is the color i actually don’t really know but this so this is like an eye lid primer um and i use my fingers for everything because mostly because i’m lazy if we’re being honest um so any people who are really good at makeup don’t come at me i know i’m not good at it this is not my like forte but what i’ve kind of i’ve gone through different like looks over the years so for a while i would do you know when i was younger i didn’t wear any makeup and then i went for like the full on and i tried doing foundation like eyes like all of that and then i went to just doing the eyes but doing like eye shadow and like a cat eye and then not doing the foundation and then i’ve kind of settled back on this so i use makeup forever the r32 concealer and we just do a little bit under the eyes and i do a little bit around my nose sometimes too because that’s where i usually get a little bit of red up there we go so what i do now is i basically just focus on um my eyes and like having like bright bright skin right whatever whatever you will um so that is the first step so i actually i really like this io um cushion pack however oh wow this is actually spf 50 i didn’t even i thought it was 30.
so my other one is bb okay this one’s 30. so this is the up hue like bb luster lighting and it is spf 30 as opposed to 50. i already have 50 on so like i don’t really need 50. so i often will use this and actually you know we’re going to do the cushion pack so i’m running low on this like i can kind of tell as i’m um using the little like pack or whatever that i’m running low on product but i have i have the backup but i don’t want to take it out until next school year so i’m like i’m just going to use it this one until it’s gone and then we’ll go so we just have to like kind of work into it so i don’t like wearing foundation but i found that this cushion pack and also like general bb creams i can stand and it’s just like a little bit of like it kind of blurs just a little bit and so especially for filming i like doing that also i usually wear this for work do i have to no but i just like this part of my routine it just feels kind of like pampering and so i enjoy doing it i honestly don’t even know how much product i’m putting on because the pack is like running out of product and like can you even see a difference i do not know but i like it so that is our bb cream i don’t know if this technically counts as a bb cream it’s a cushion pack but it’s like really like it feels like a really light bb cream so then let’s see what are we gonna do next so typically after that i will do my eyebrows oh so i started explaining why um i used to do more kind of makeup but now what i like to do is because i wear such huge like circle glasses i basically just focus on brightening up my eyes and like making my eyelashes and eyebrows stand out a little bit more just because my glasses are so huge um also you know i just kind of go in with the eyebrow pencil so this is a sephora one i think it’s like the midnight brown what are you retractable brow pencil waterproof it’s this one and i literally don’t use the little spoolie that’s on at this side i have one that i bought um because i just like that style better so i don’t know if you can even see like i did this one i haven’t done this one yet it’s not even like super super crazy but i just like to film in a little bit definitely not an exact science and i don’t actually mess around with the shape of my brows that often i just do like some light grooming or whatever because as you might be able to tell uh the foundation of my makeup routine more than my skincare my makeup routine is simplicity we like simple things so i think that sometimes i actually do have to wear you these two i actually have two eye things and i even have a random little um liner to do a cat eye if i ever want to but i honestly have just gotten out of the habit of doing it um we’re going to do this one so this is actually from etude house it’s the bling bling eye stick and it’s just like a little like highlighter thingy and i’m just gonna do a little bit and i honestly don’t even do this most of the time i’m just doing it now because like brighten up the inner corners for filming i don’t know who knows so my last step not next step last step is mascara so i actually this is one of those where i really struggle um i have a pretty like as you can see i have a pretty minimal makeup routine actually only two things like i keep these two in a drawer because they don’t really fit well in that little pot i have but so i try to keep my makeup really really minimal and it’s not something like i don’t typically go for super expensive products unless there’s a specific one that i found that i like so for example my eyebrow pencil is like a super cheap one but i actually really like this mac hiddenly pop but it also like lasts me forever so the one sort of struggle that i have is i really want to go to more sustainable mascara and i actually got one to try out and this is the zao essence of nature and i think i got the aloe they have like an aloe and a volumizing one and what’s cool is it’s got like this bamboo case and you basically just oops you buy the case and then what you do is you can unscrew this like white section is the canister you can unscrew that and replace that so basically you keep your bamboo outer and you just recycle the inner part and i think it’s made out of like aluminum or something like that and so i was like that would be great like it’s much more sustainable and all of that and i tried it i get mascara transfer within like an hour or two and that is like the one thing that i’m like i can’t handle that so i ended up rebuying my super non-sustainable maybelline because it actually works and like most of the other products i’m like yeah i don’t care as long as they work pretty well but this one like this drives me nuts because i wear such big glasses and like it’s really just on there and i do my top and bottom lashes i can’t with the transfer like that’s just not that’s a deal breaker for me so until i can find a better sustainable one that doesn’t transfer like that i’m gonna stick to my maybelline um and i actually used to buy an even fancier one and i was like that’s not necessary and they also stopped making it was like part of it so now i just get kind of like the cheapest one that actually works because i do wear if i wear makeup i wear mascara and i’m not good at it getting black everywhere that’s cool um so like as you can see i do like my eyelashes are pretty long and so i like to just darken them up and i don’t even like i don’t do multiple coats or anything like that i just basically darken them up and try to help with placement and you guys are gonna laugh because i’m like really not a makeup person um this is how this is how we curl them we use our fingers because i am deathly afraid of eyelash curlers like so afraid i’ve never used one i don’t think i ever will they terrify me so i have this one section on my left eye that’s just like not as full so we gotta ta-dah so that’s the top and then there and i literally don’t even wash my hands until after i finish we just do because i like to take a little bit of the product off i always get a little bit too much and i don’t like clumpy lashes make sure everything’s all good clean up and there we go so oh the one thing i did forget to do is lip stuff which i will go run and get that so i ran and i got my lip stuff i actually keep this in my bedroom just because my bathroom does get really hot and humid and usually after i shower i open up the window just like let everything out but um it’s a little bit loud and so i just haven’t kept it close to film so i just have a couple of different lipsticks and honestly because today is a filming day and i’m gonna film a bunch of videos i will probably end up changing them um and i actually have to go and get dressed so i’m not gonna put it on now i will put it on for filming but like this is my last step after i get dressed because otherwise like um i’m gonna get lip stuff all over my all over my clothing which we don’t want so that is that is the end in here so that was my morning routine and again i specifically picked a day that i was going to be filming because on those days when i do vlog type stuff i actually put on makeup so you’ll see this is actually this is the look that i did in the morning routine video so as you can see like it is pretty like glowy i definitely go for that kind of style of makeup and i did put on some lip stuff this is actually a mousse tint that i got when i was in korea that i just love because it’s like gives you some color but it’s not as like heavy as a regular lipstick and yeah it’s honestly i can usually get ready like skincare and makeup in under 30 minutes it probably took a little bit longer today just because i was kind of talking you guys through it and i do have to wait for the products to sink in a little bit but overall it’s not super extensive or super complicated in the morning because i needed something that i was going to be able to do even when i have to go to work really early so there you have it again i’m not an expert but this is just what i have been doing and what’s been working for my skin i think overall my skin is pretty okay so you know i’m not messing it up too much um also i do just want to mention that because i was doing a get ready with me video i did decide to wear my pivot loungewear set because i can’t like i haven’t really decided if i can get away with wearing this shirt as like real clothing so i was like it’s it’s the perfect thing to wear for right now so i will also link the uh the hashtag for this set down below if you guys want to go check out on instagram because obviously also obsessed with sewing kind of gotta get both in there so yeah i hope you guys enjoyed this video i
