Skincare Routine: Sunday Riley, Drunk Elephant, ANTI-AGING & OILY SKIN
can you hear like that sorry my cat really wants to come in here hey guys welcome back to my channel I hope that everybody’s having a great day today so today I wanted to do a skincare routine for you guys I’m going to be doing my nighttime skincare routine and my talk briefly about my daytime skincare routine I am getting ready for bed right now and this is literally what I do every single night I keep all of my skincare products by my bedside table a lot of these products rotate in and out of my routine I find a product that I absolutely have fallen in love with I will continue to repurchase it and rebuy it and use it consistently and I do have a couple of those products in my routine that I do every night and that I literally cannot live without but most things as far as like face washes eye creams things like that I do rotate really really often face washes face wash in my opinion I don’t think they do anything you know miraculous to your skin if you know what I mean so yeah as I’m going through I will mention some things that are holy grails for me but I will also mention some things that I’m just using right now and when I use up these products I may or may not repurchase them probably not honestly I like to try different things I’m not sensitive at all so I can switch up my skincare products pretty regularly but if you are more sensitive and you do find something that works for you by all means keep using that if it works for you that’s great but for me most things in my nighttime and daytime routine I do like to switch up so before we talk about the products I just want to say that I do have combination oily skin it used to be a lot earlier than it is now and I think it’s because of these skincare products that I’m using that it is a little bit less oily a little bit more normal but I still do consider myself to have oily skin I do get very oily throughout the day those blotting sheets I can make one of those like completely clear with all the oil that gets on my face throughout the day so sometimes it can be more combination I do get random dry spots from time to time but for the most part it is pretty oily I’m not an aesthetician I’m not a skincare expert this is just what I do and this is what has worked for me and this is what I have learned through you know watching YouTube videos and working and then just without further ado let’s get started I do wear a lot of makeup during the day if you guys have seen my tutorials you know I put on a lot of foundation a lot of powder bronzer sometimes even thick eyelashes got a lot going on on my skin so I really really want to make sure that my skin is completely free of any makeup before I go in with my other products so I wash my face and a multitude of different ways the first thing I do is I take my makeup wipes I use these good old ones from Costco I go through these like nobody’s business so I just take this the Kirkland Costco brand I just take one wipe and I go all over my face just to remove like the surface makeup I get it all off I run it over my lids I get as much eyeliner in mascara as possible off the makeup wipe usually isn’t enough because I like I said I do put on a ton of makeup so that is what I have to go in with some kind of cleansing foam or cleansing oil to further remove makeup another thing if you know me or you’ve watched my videos I do use waterproof mascara because I have no lash as you can see they do not stay curled and whenever I use waterproof they curl a little bit so in order to get that little bit of curl I do have to use waterproof and that does not come off obviously with just water or soap or the makeup wipe I do have to use a cleansing balm or cleansing oil and it also further breaks down any other makeup on my face so right now my bottle is a little janky because I was keeping it in my shower and this used to have like a fancy metal topper on it that it came off obviously but this is the Estee edit dissolve the drama two-in-one makeup remover cleanser so this is just a cleansing oil I literally shake it onto my hand like that and then I rub it all over my face I make sure to get really into the roots of the lashes and I kind of go up a little bit I go underneath I really really massage my lash area because that is the waterproof mascara it can be very stubborn so I just really do circular motions all on my face I get down my neck as well because like I do blend my foundation and my Rollins are down my neck so I make sure to get everything off with the oil and then I will rinse with water and in the shower so I rinse it all off in the shower and becomes like a moisturizing milk as it’s rinsing off so it’s like an oil to cleanser type of thing now this is one of those things that I’m just using for now I mean it’s great it gets the job done it does not burn my eyes so I do like that but once I’m done with this I will probably go back to using coconut oil the virgin all natural organic coconut oil I use that for a number of years and I still really like it I just happen to have this so I you know needed to use it and get rid of it now that we’ve done the makeup wipe we’ve done the oil cleanser we can actually go into washing our face and this is really dingy and I can’t believe I’m about to show this on camera but most nights I go in with my Clarisonic well it doesn’t look that bad on camera but it looks like really nasty engine chain person just note to self if you’re thinking of buying a Clarisonic do not buy the white one because it gets like really nasty and discolored and I have had mine for about five or six years this is the mia one so this is the first one first generation they’ve got all kinds of different models out now all the Clarisonic but like I said I’ve had mine for a very long time I’m probably due for a new one because like I said the battery shot so I pretty much just use it as like a scrubby brush all over my face you know which kind of defeats the purpose but whatever so I do right now I’m using the origins checks-and-balances frothy face wash as you can see I am almost out of this this is one of those products that I may or may not repurchase once I’m done with it I can pretty much use any face wash with my Clarisonic I know a lot of people like to use the philosophy cleanser to wither Clarisonic they’re frequently sold together and kits this squeeze a little bit onto my Clarisonic and then I go to town and this M also acts as my exfoliator so I’m exfoliating and washing my face with the cleanser at the same time and the whistles from the brush head are very exfoliating on my skin once I’ve done that and I think that’s all that I do in the shower or sorry I’m just kind of looking yes that’s all that I do in the shower and once I get out of the shower Sunday Riley Martian mattifying water gel toner looks like this it instantly transforms from a cooling gel to a water toner as it clarifies removes oil and visibly tightens pores for clear matte skin pleasing some out onto a cotton round and then I just rub this all over what toners do is they balance out the pH in your skin so after you’ve pretty much stripped your skin of all the makeup and the oils and impurities you kind of want to balance your skin back out with a toner after I’ve done that I will go in with my eye cream now I right now have the it cosmetics bye bye under-eye and this is good it’s my smooth smize it smoothes brings Andy puffs and it looks like this it comes with a little like topper on it and it looks like that if you have very very dry dry under eyes I would definitely suggest this one because it is very moisturizing I’m not completely in love with it once I use this up I probably won’t repurchase it I like to use different types of eye creams I haven’t found one yet that is my absolute Holy Grail I do sample a lot from Sephora so I can see which ones I want to try next so right now I am using a sample just dropped it this is a sample of the dr.
Dennis gross it’s like a retinol eye cream and it’s like a gel and I like it um you know I just like to try new things just using a sample for right now and once I’m done with the sample I’ll go back to use the cosmetics I’m about halfway through with this but I just wanted to try something different um just because I wanted to make a sample of this and try it and I like it I don’t really have like a ton of issues with my under eye right now just because I am young I have been using eye cream for like five years now so you know my under eyes are pretty good then I’m going to in with my good jeans by Sunday Riley and this is 100% will always be in my skincare routine no matter what this is the all-in-one lactic acid treatment and what any kind of AX acid it does in your skincare routine is that it chemically exfoliates your skin so it sloths off all the dead skin it decreases your pore size lactic acid also it can brighten your skin and make you look younger and more radiant and youthful and it’s just amazing I’m pretty much down to like my last two uses here and I do I have already repurchased this I repurchased it sorry there’s like fuzzies flying around everywhere and I don’t know what’s happening I have already repurchased this I do have it waiting for me in my drawer I’m just going to use this up as much as possible and get every last drop out of here before I bust into the new one but I do love this umm it’s freaking amazing I also think this has made me less oily I don’t know how maybe it’s because it’s decreased my pores and so my pores aren’t producing as much as much oil but I feel like since I’ve been using this I have not been as oily one thing about this product is because it is a lactic acid just burn a little bit because it is chemic it’s like a chemical and it is chemically exfoliating your skin so I’ve used it for such a long time now that it doesn’t really faze me I’ve used it for a little over a year so it doesn’t bother me that much anymore but it definitely can burn a little bit and sting so if you have sensitive skin I would definitely try a sample of this first it also reduces hyperpigmentation so if you have any age spots sun spots discoloration because of acne scars any thing like that this will eliminate it and make it go away any extra that I have on my hands this is another tip that I have I know a lot of women they age a lot in their hands throughout the years and and the special and sometimes our neck can even really show our age so I do take whatever’s left over and rub it on my neck and I also rub it on the backs of my hands it may not do anything but psychologically I feel like it’s helping my hands not aged as quickly so that is something that I do every night with all of my products if I have any extra I always make sure to rub it down my neck and on the backs of my hands I do let the good jeans sink in for a second and I might let go brush my teeth or go feed the cats or you know do something else I do like to let that have its moment on my skin go in with a facial oil after that so the one that I’ve been using most recently is the again Sunday Riley UFO ultra clarifying face oil and this kind of came out together obviously you know because they’re both green and these are both for more oily acne prone skin but I don’t know if you can tell mine is completely empty so I did use this guy completely up and I do have another facial oil that I’m using right now I’m trying this new thing where I don’t buy anything new until I’ve used the other stuff up it’s really hard for me because I love products I do have this other oil that I’m using right now and this is the Korres Wild Rose facial oil it’s got little rose petals in there everything by Sunday Riley I love and I will continue to use and repurchase no matter what I just couldn’t justify repurchasing a full other bottle of facial oil when I have this perfectly good one sitting right there so another one that I love by Sunday Riley is the luna night oil I think that is a fantastic facial oil looking to decrease any signs of premature aging or you’re looking for any anti-aging products that’s great it has retinol in it so it will definitely help with that I probably once I’m done with this I will go back to the lunar oil I did like the UFO but I will you know I’ll probably go back to the luna but it’s still by Sunday Riley still a great product any one of her oils are great so right now I’m just going to take this caress one like I said because I have it and I’m trying to use it up and I can not repurchase my Sunday Riley one until I use this up completely at least that’s what I’m telling myself we’ll see if that actually happens so I just take it and I do a couple drops and then I just rub in circular motions again everything when I’m touching my face is very light pressure um I don’t want to like move my skin around or anything like that um you know creates more wrinkles and then I do also like to press a lot of my products and I do like this caress oil it does brighten and it does help with anti-aging it just doesn’t have the retinol in it it’s really good it’s nourishing and brightening for my last thing that I do is I go in with a facial moisturizer and I right now I’m using the la la la la retro whipped cream by drunk elephant it just comes with a cap on it like that pull the cap off and I really really like this moisturizer you guys this might become one of my holy grails drunk elephant is one that just recently hit the shelves at Sephora and it has recently become kind of one of my favorite brands I’ve been trying a couple of their product and I really really like their stuff they kind of give Sunday Riley a run for their money and I’m definitely loving this moisturizer this might be a repurchase do you really really like this it sinks in really great with the other products that I’ve used and I have very dry crusty lips so I like to go in with my bite Beauty agave lip mask I can be lazy about this but I just put a little bit on my finger and this stuff lasts forever I’ve had this or like over a year and it’s like I’m barely even halfway through it that completes everything for my nighttime skincare routine do you do all of those steps every single night for my daytime routine it’s a lot less steps I will tell you that it’s way less steps in the daytime when I get up in the morning the first thing do as I wash my face because this is a ton of product and sometimes I can’t have a residue using this skin laundry gentle foaming face wash any face wash like I said I just had this once I’m done with this I’ll probably go back to something else I don’t know what that’s going to be it might be something from the drugstore might not be I just I like to switch up my face washes really really often like I said because I don’t have sensitive skin I can pretty much use any face wash this is just a good gentle one just something generic in the morning tends my skin if I’m doing makeup I will come in here and start my makeup routine and the first thing I do is a moisturizer and right now I’m using the only Henriksen oil control counterbalance hydrator it’s just a moisturizer for oily skin it does not add any grease eNOS it definitely hydrates but it does not add any grease eNOS and it sinks into the skin super quickly so it’s really great for me to do before makeup I’m a repurchase this one I’m done I haven’t really decided yet I also do like the Bobbi Brown vitamin enriched face base for I do my makeup so I know if you sought a lot in the past so I may go back to that but for right now I’m really using this for sunscreen during the daytime I’m using the Clinique pepp start in this cute little yellow bottle and this does have SPF 50 in it when you shake it up and this is great to use before makeup you guys I’m telling you this sinks right into the skin it does not leave a greasy film or greasy residue it doesn’t have like it doesn’t give you that white tint that to your skin sometimes sunscreens can do so I’ve really really been loving this as a daytime sunscreen I think it is great and I probably will repurchase this like I really really like this I was very surprised at how much I like this I’m usually not the biggest fan of sunscreens you know but I know I need to use them but this one is really good I do like to use face masks often and I have a couple here that I’m going to show you some of my favorites I don’t have right now just because like I said I’m trying to use what I have before I go purchase new ones one of my favorite face masks is the glam blow like clearing mud treatment it’s the one in the white jar you guys if you I’ve like acne or blackheads or just clogged pores in general and you’re trying to get that gunk out of your pores that stuff is amazing like I’m literally obsessed with that face mask it’s so good it’s just amazing at removing like all the blackheads some that I do have that I’ve been enjoying are the origins retexturizing mask with rose clay this was a little 100-point perk that I got at Sephora and I really like this it’s got exfoliating beans in there and it is a it is a clay mask so it does remove the impurities and the surface oils on your skin some weeks when I’m like really heavy on the makeup during the week I do like to go in with a mask pretty regularly just to make sure that my pores aren’t being clogged and that I’m really getting all that dirt and gunk off my skin because the oil can really build up and linger another thing that I love for willy skin to remove like blackheads and pimples and stuff is the Aztec I’m so sorry if you guys can hear my catch Lucy go away this is the Aztec secret Indian healing clay deep pore cleansing it’s 100% natural calcium bentonite clay and this is a giant tub but you guys this stuff is amazing you mix it with water or you can mix it with apple cider vinegar according to the directions I haven’t tried that because it sounds a little too intense for me but apparently you can it’s going to be like a super intense mask but it makes your face like tingle and burn so if you have sensitive skin or you’re not a fan of masks that like make your skin feel like tingly and burning then I definitely would not try this I did get mine at Whole Foods I love this you guys like I said on weeks that I really am heavy-handed with the makeup sometimes I can get very clogged pores on my cheeks right around my nose and on like my nose area and my chin I go on with this mix up a little bit of water to make a paste because this is just loose clay in here bentonite clay it’s completely dry and I just put that on my nose and I leave it on for like as long as possible I can stand it and then I rinse it off with a wash walk love that step another one that I’ve been going in with and this is just a sample that I got from Sephora it’s the TLC Sakaki Baby facial from drunk elephant this is a drunk elephant product that I really really like this is an alpha hydroxy acid and it also has a beta hydroxy acid in there so it is the chemical exfoliant that the good jeans is but this is a lactic acid the nights that I do this I do it probably once a week if that I don’t really use this very often because it is a very intense chemical acid treatment on the days that I go in with this I do not use my good jeans I just follow it up straight with a facial oil because it would just be entirely too much acid on my skin if I did that and I don’t want to irritate my skin at all so yeah I’ve really been loving this alright guys
