not gonna see here in YouTube it’s so
sunny I’m sorry the the Lighting’s gonna
be changing every so often okay so we
all know why we’re here Susan Yara has
their own Harper’s Bazaar skincare
routine video this is like Inception II
full circle amazingness like I’m
honestly so so just like happy I feel
like I feel like you live in the YouTube
realm when one person makes it like we
all kind of make it in a way I just feel
like I’m it’s just it’s just nice I’ve
had an overwhelming amount of requests
to react to her video I don’t do
skincare reaction videos I leave it to
Susie did you like hack reactions if
that makes sense but this has to be done
it like we have to watch it I was gonna
wait and see if Hiram wanted to do this
as a collab of me but I know he’s away
for a month and I don’t want to not
watch this for a month like I need to
watch this but yes honestly I’m so happy
for Susan mix makeup just everything
this is just such an amazing achievement
it’s so nice to see someone from the
YouTube community but also have years of
Beauty experience off YouTube make it
onto something like Harper’s Bazaar so
this is incredible so yeah I have to
mention that obviously the thumbnail for
this is complete click bake we all know
Susan’s not gonna do anything wrong here
and for her skin or do anything weird or
disgusting or outlandish okay so let’s
just start watching it hey guys have you
ever scrolled through these videos
comments and wonder who the hell is
Susan Yara it’s me and tonight I’m gonna
show you my night time skincare routine
so let’s get ready for bed Yama’s I’ve
always wanted some of those in there
like
like so my skin type is generally dry
it’s been a little bit drier than usual
it’s cold outside right now it’s winter
I also just had a baby a few months ago
so that really takes a lot out of you
because especially if you like
breastfeed and everything doing my
nighttime skincare routine is the cutest
baby listen I’m not into babies when
people show you pictures I’m like oh
okay
but honestly the cutest baby the cutest
cheeks so cute really because it’s the
time that I get to myself especially
with two kids one is a toddler one is an
actual baby baby I want to make sure I’m
using products that give me the most
bang for my buck swimming pools they’re
like I’m sorry sorry to cut you off stay
with it I’m sorry but that’s one thing
that I think for me people like Susan on
YouTube have actually kind of I should
Rhys it here have kind of like
reestablished skincare as I feel like
skincare has become so serious like it’s
great that we have so much more
knowledge now and that we can follow all
these amazing educated and experienced
people but skincare nice be nice and
relaxing and there needs to be some fun
in it as well as Susan said like it’s
her downtime it’s her time to relax and
get away it’s mine as well and I don’t
live as half what I imagine a stressful
busy life as Susan does but no matter
what you do no matter who you are taking
that time to do your skincare is such
a.m. so it should be such a nice
personal relaxing experience and I feel
like people like Suzanne while still
educating still kind of puts that fun
back into skincare rather than be like
you shouldn’t use this you shouldn’t do
that you should only be using this you
know so that’s why I personally enjoy
watching mix makeup and even Susan’s own
channel i watch all her baby content
like I need to breast pump like I just
find it whenever she speaks about
anything is super informative and that
are fixing problems that you have post
pregnancy there’s really not much you
can do while you’re pregnant you can’t
do major treatments you can’t use really
strong active ingredients so these are
the things that I’m reintroducing now
mmm when I saw when she was pregnant
that she wasn’t using retinol I was like
oh I hope she’s coping I was like
because we all know how much she loves
her retinol retinoids she is like the
queen for me of retinol retinyl and this
is why I don’t talk about because it’s
still
confuses me so much I do own a retinal
which I think I’m guessing she’s gonna
use later so we will probably talk about
that but for me is pretty one the only
things that’s religiously missing from
my routine that we need to jump on use
my scrunchie and my headband I always go
for silk I have silk pillows
I think silk is just really nice it’s
not just nice and gentle on your skin
but it’s gentle on your hair so I’m
gonna put this on first
something oil-based is how I typically
start my nighttime routine because I
have makeup on even if I’m just wearing
sunscreen so I tend to use something
like this these are the two bombs I’ve
been using green clean by pharmacy and
this is clean at zero it’s by vanilla Co
but today and I want to freak everybody
out because this is something different
that I’ve been doing no and I do it for
all of you guys I’m gonna be using this
essentially in my cellar water it says
cleansing water it’s really fancy you
guys I don’t know why but for like a
split second I thought she’s gonna bring
out makeup white this is like a joke I
shouldn’t have ever doubted her I
panicked I don’t I’m in panic mode
micellar water like fine yeah good good
good good good really really fancy if
you like cosmetic formulators are really
having a moment right now on social
media where they’re really like seeing
what’s being put out there all the
information and stuff and they’re coming
correct with it basically they’re like
no no no no this ingredient is fine for
you this product is fine for you and a
friend of mine who is a cosmetic
formulator has been watching my videos
so she sent me this and she didn’t want
me to judge it whatsoever she said I was
gonna love this stuff I could definitely
use it as my first cleanse and it was
gonna remove all of my makeup and and be
tough on my makeup but not tough on my
skin and I’ve obviously been using a lot
of it so I can’t wait to tell you guys
what it is cuz I don’t even know I’m
gonna use one of those microfiber kind
of cleansing towels just because it
doesn’t soak up too much I feel like
it’s gonna help just remove the makeup
so I’m going to just put a little on the
edge of it and I’m gonna hold it to my
eye just for a few seconds the reason
why I’m pressing it to my eye first is
because you want it to loosen up the
makeup I’m gonna pulls it there and
that’s one thing Susan’s talking about
is all these cosmetic formulators and
scientists on Instagram and on YouTube
now as well actually correcting so much
of the Miss information is out there you
know the fear-mongering tactics that a
lot of brands used to sell us stuff they
should be using paraben
and silicones up a few all that kind of
stuff and I love I got a whole video
about myth-busting using some my
favorite and scientist profiles people
like the Eco well Michelle from lab
muffin so so interesting please go and
watch that video and I will link them
down below anyway but yeah it is really
super interesting I want to know what
the micellar water is because I’m not a
huge fan of micellar water just cuz it
always drives me out a little bit but
kind of know that it’s been created by
someone of that caliber I definitely try
it the reason why I’m pressing it to my
eye first is because you want it to
loosen up the makeup right and if you’re
not doing that part then you’re just
gonna tug and you’re gonna be like this
doesn’t work on my skin because it
doesn’t doesn’t actually remove my
makeup but if you just hold it there it
will and so I’m just patting you can see
no makeup so remember this was just my
first cleanse I’m not expecting this to
completely remove all of my makeup and
the grime from the day I’m just you know
using it as my first cleanse to it that
way my second cleanse can get the rest
of it off essentially and get this off
of my skin too because you don’t want it
to sit on your skin it’s it’s like
leaving a cleanser on your skin you
wouldn’t just leave your cleanser on
your skin right so around this time I
probably be in the shower and this is
the cleanser I would use it’s by crave
beauty is there much ahem hydrating
cleanser this is a very nice cleanser
it’s a gel consistency
it doesn’t really foam up I don’t tend
to like foam cleansers there are some
nice ones out there I think I’m just
kind of old-school and when I think of
foam cleansers I think of like SLS and
like really strong surfactants and stuff
that are going to strip your skin this
won’t strip your skin and it will
definitely cleanse everything so this is
the next step
so crave beauty got a shout out and
Harper’s Bazaar as well it is this is
all amazing and match the hemp hydrating
cleanser one of my favorite cleansers of
all time ever I will continue to use it
for as long as I could get my hands in
it and for as long as it is being made I
love it Susan actually mentions that she
doesn’t much really like foaming
cleansers and I have to be honest after
using crave Beauty I’m not bothered by
them but I’d rather not use them if that
makes sense
just because they sit feel a bit
unnecessary to me now but yes if you can
get your hands in that cleanser is one
of the best cleansers of all time ever I
think a lot of people don’t realize
important they’re cleanse is when it
comes to their skincare and this would
normally again this would be a little
bit more damp so it would be lathering
up a little bit more but you can see
that it has slips and my fingers are
gliding over my skin really easily and
I’m just making sure I’m really
cleansing because everything that you
had on your skin that day you know it’s
just not good to leave it there and go
to sleep with it because your skin is
repairing itself and I and I think of
the nighttime routine my friend Nina
Desai she’s a board-certified
dermatologist she said it perfectly to
me she was like your nighttime routine
is when you repair your skin and your
morning routine is when you protect your
skin yeah I think that’s such a good
approach to skin care in general I’ve
always felt like the nighttime is about
healing and soothing and just giving you
a skin like time to breathe and to relax
like we’re doing whilst we’re asleep and
in the morning a few basics and then
your protection over the top that’s how
I’ve always felt about it how you should
see as well I think that’s why the
morning routine for me is so minimal
because it is about the basics and just
sheerly that protection whereas i do put
a little bit more effort into my evening
routine because I do feel like I need to
look after my skin now and I need to
like and I guess in a way just kind of
like thank you and and give it like a
you know job well done kind of thing for
lasting for the day but yeah I really
like those pajamas I keep thinking that
I need them clean skin should never be
squeaky skin alright so while my skin is
still damp I’m gonna try to get this on
there
it’s my new face it is there gel primer
and I’m gonna leave it open now you go
through a ton of this why I’m using it
but I’m gonna start with one layer and
I’m gonna put it on almost like if it’s
a sleep mask I’m gonna go up my neck I
know I have my necklace on guys I’m
sorry I just don’t really take it off
and I’m gonna use this this is the new
face I love how Suzanne knows like all
the type of comments actually might get
if that makes sense so people like who
leaves their necklace on you know
someone’s bound to say that so I know
she’s beaten them to it before like with
the cleansing face what she’s like it
usually does foam up a bit more because
someone’s gonna be like you know men
should comment something about it she’s
way too experienced to deal with your
in this it’s something that I
come back to you
you want to have your gel primer ready
to go you can use an H a serum like um
an H a stands for hyaluronic acid but I
find that this is a little bit thicker
and you might get a little losing here
and there if you don’t have enough to
slip and you know formula like between
you and the device but what this does is
it’s microcurrent and microcurrent helps
to tighten your skin I couldn’t use it
while I was pregnant because it’s one of
those things that you can’t use while
pregnant so I have it back so what
people don’t think about with pregnancy
is you’re literally gaining the ton away
I games this last pregnancy I gained 40
pounds and I’ve lost in just a few
months at least half of that so I’m
gonna start here right at like the
collarbone and I’m gonna go up with it
really slowly
you got to make sure you have that slide
you don’t want to tug hold I can feel it
and so when you’re losing weight you
lose that elasticity in your skin and
people think about that in their bodies
right like you lose all of that
elasticity and your skin starts to hang
the same thing happens with your face in
your neck and as we get older you start
to really notice that again and it’s
kind of like exercise so you want to
make sure that you maintain it and you
keep using it because it’s helping it’s
helping to tighten all your muscles
essentially I’m not speaking too much
about this cuz I really want to watch
this and you know I learn stuff from
Suzanne I I’m not gonna critique a
routine because she obviously has her
own routine down all right so normally
right after I’ve done the new face I
will go right into a moisturizer because
the new face is essentially hyaluronic
acid serum and you want to lock in that
that hydration that you’re getting from
it because it’s humid and you don’t want
it to actually you know take out the
moisture from your actual skin so you
want to lock it in and that’s what your
moisturizer is gonna do this moisturizer
is by bioessence
it’s their squalene and Omega vert cream
I’ve been using this for a couple of
years I go back to it it’s not
fragranced which i think is super
important when you’re doing especially
um treatments like the laser treatment
and everything and also for the next
step that you guys will see it’s gonna
be retinol um I also just likes whaling
I really do I think it works very well
on my skin so I’m locking everything in
I tend to like white and then path so
I’m not just smearing it off of my skin
I don’t really go up but I definitely
Pat it and truly it’s just so that it
really goes this is one thing that I do
as well and whenever I do like your
skincare routine on camera I always cut
me to me using the product but I cut
that down as well so a lot people say
like why aren’t you doing your beard why
aren’t you doing your neck you mist
around your eyes you’re just not seeing
it I do all that but I just cut it down
otherwise it’ll be really boring and
really not nice to look at but one thing
I do do is with a few things like a
toner and essence III patent but with a
moisturizer you can’t stand there going
and everyone’s like do you just patent
your moisturizers it’s like no I
actually do a wipe and a pact because a
lot of people like it must take forever
to tap in moisturizer I don’t do that I
do a wipe and Pat and just like Susan
but I definitely Pat it and truly it’s
just so that it really goes on my skin
and I’m not wiping it off to me
moisturizer is really important it’s it
is a non-negotiable for me and I know
some people would like oily skin will
say that they don’t need to but the oil
that you produce is completely different
than the moisturizer that you’re gonna
use one of the big issues I find in
skincare is that people aren’t patient
they want to see results immediately and
they don’t want to go they don’t want to
go through like the steps like the baby
steps that you’re supposed to go through
and it’s so important to have patience
it’s actually something I had to learn I
I didn’t have any patience and what we
tend to find is that people will just go
like balls to the wall I think they’re
kind of like I’m just gonna go with this
I’m gonna go from like zero skincare
routine to like a 12 step skincare
routine or I’m gonna introduce a really
strong retinoid into my skincare routine
but I’m gonna use it every single night
and not you know watch how my skin
reacts to it and then they end up with
this irritation their skin is breaking
it’s dry its flaking
they’re getting breakouts it’s exactly
you know half the time it’s usually what
we’re doing to our skin that’s making
our skin have some kind of a bad
reaction so my biggest advice to
everybody is to be patient I hundred
percent agree Oh Susan there I think
deafening has been a youtuber I think I
can be quite confusing the fact that I
do use a ton of skincare because now it
is my job to kind of talk about skincare
YouTube is my full-time job so it’s my
job to see what’s out there and
introduce people to new stuff one thing
I always say that
is that you don’t need to use all these
products pick a product that you think
might benefit you and go with that
but thing about patients a hundred
percent I get a lot of comments like
I’ve been using niacinamide for two
weeks I see no difference or even I’ve
been using it for a month I don’t see
any difference patients it’s gonna take
a while before you actually see and reap
the benefits of nearly any product there
are those products that you see
immediate results on like cleanses for
example moisturizers you tend you tend
to see that instant kind of boost and
that’s what you need to keep in mind
that the results are gonna come they
will be great will come but you just
need to be patient and nothing Susan
mentioned is that yeah like people just
tend to go from nothing to everything
and there’s another lot of comments I
get is like Oh James do I need to use
azelaic acid do I need to use
niacinamide and I’m always like I don’t
know do you is that what your skin needs
and I think the best way to work out
what your skin needs what I would do
person you start with a very basic
routine of cleanser moisturizer
sunscreen add in a toner see if it
benefits you give it a month give it a
couple months if it doesn’t take out if
it does add something new for me it took
maybe like honestly like four years
before I worked how a routine that will
work for me ingredients that work for me
ingredients that I should avoid and I
feel like that’s how I’m able to switch
up my routine quite often it’s cuz I
already know what potentially will work
for me and what potentially will not
work for me I actually have like a whole
collection of different retinoids and
I’m going to start introducing into my
routine and this is kind of strong
though so I don’t need a lot I actually
just bought a sample size because I know
I’m not gonna stay I’m not gonna use it
for too long it’s 1% retinol it’s by
drunk elephant it’s they’re a pests uni
retinol cream and what I want to show
you guys this is the this is the
important part 1% is kind of strong and
it’s actually that’s more that I’m
probably going to end up using so I want
to show you guys this when someone says
use a pea size of your retinoid truly
when you’re just starting off I’m only
going to use this once a week for the
next couple of weeks because I’m just
getting back into the retinoid game it’s
been over a year because I was pregnant
I felt like I was like forever pregnant
and I’m just gonna you know spray it
together I’m just gonna tap it into my
skin and I’m actually going to avoid my
net because I’ve been getting
laser treatments the neck is really
really a sensitive area and you don’t
want to make it too sensitive so I know
that I’m still trying to get back into
this and I know I’m doing these laser
treatments and the skin is thinner in
your neck area so you don’t want to
necessarily get it there I got my
moisturizer there I got my you know my H
a serum there so it has some treatment
and it’s good to go right now I will
eventually you know use a little bit of
retinol there later on but I don’t need
to right now and I’m tapping around my
eyes because I don’t use an eye cream at
night I feel like I’m getting everything
I need for my skin in this whole routine
and it doesn’t have to be an elaborate
routine for it to be an effective
routine so for me Susan is like the
queen of retinol like I didn’t know a
lot about it first like watching her
videos I definitely didn’t know that it
had so many good benefits and Susan’s
actually commented on a video of my
saying that well the only things missing
my routine was a retinol I struggle I’ve
got retinol and I’m so glad Susan
demonstrated that because they say use a
pea-sized amount so I’m like a boob I
put my forehead I’m like it’s all gone
so they end up so I end up adding more
and potentially using more than I have
to
eyesight too strong so it took me a
while to build up the tolerance to it so
I’m glad she demonstrated how to
actually use a pea-sized amount because
I I struggle with that so much if you’re
not Susan I do feel like there’s a
different way to use retinol for me the
most effective way that I’ve been doing
it recently and really reaping benefits
from it is to basically just turn off
all the lights you then want to get a
picture of Susan on your phone or if you
could print out a picture even better
light a couple of candles around the
picture and then you want to get pack of
face wipes cleansing wipes and put that
on front of the picture of Susan you
need to make sure you’re directly facing
a mirror and once all your candles are
lit you need to just repeat Susan Yara
Susan Yara Susan Yara three times then
quickly open the bag of face wipes whip
out a face wipe and then Susan will
appear behind you and that’s when you
can just go ahead and actually start
using the retinol especially celebrities
you would think that they would be on
some kind of a retinoid because it’s
really the only proven ingredient to
really make you look like you’re useful
and have bouncy skin that’s like you
know even skin tone and everything I
actually could not wait to get back on
retinol people might ask do I put stuff
on my chest area and everything and I
actually do believe you have to bring
your skincare your skincare down to like
your nipples that’s basically your face
really but um you know Braun can’t read
everything I actually have a whole
nighttime skincare routine for my body
as well but another thing people might
ask is why I put the retinol after my
moisturizer I actually will let my
moisturiser sink in a little bit more
and the reason why you want your
moisturizer to sink in is because when
you’re easing into it if your skin is
still damp it actually helps the
ingredient the active ingredient which
in this case is retinol absorb into your
skin and penetrate a little bit deeper
and so it’ll work stronger so while I’m
easing into it I don’t want it to be as
effective I’m trying to like essentially
I guess dilute it and then get my skin
used to it and then eventually I’ll
start to pick it up and use it more
maybe I’ll put it on before my
moisturizer maybe I won’t use a
moisturizer so everything’s gonna change
but this is where I’m at right now
because I only stopped breastfeeding
just recently so I’m just getting back
into this game and then I always finish
with some kind of a lip balm this one is
from Innisfree it’s a sleeping mask and
I just like my nighttime lip balm to be
something thick because you know I’m
gonna go to sleep and I’m not gonna
reapply it for hours hopefully unless I
wake up because of a baby I hate that
lip balm but I do notice that not a lot
of people finish on a lip balm on their
evening routines and it’s just like the
rest of your face you need to coat it
with something always they do get really
really dry that lip balm is so thick
like it’s the kind of texture I would
use I just for me it tasted like
play-doh I just didn’t enjoy the taste I
use like the clavero one which I love
which I think I got because I saw a
mixed makeup maybe but yeah yeah like I
feel like no one finishes on the lip
balm you absolutely need to use your
sunscreen in the morning we don’t get to
see what people are doing in the morning
when they see their nighttime routine
you have to use sunscreen anyway it is
probably the most important anti-aging
ingredient you can use and product
you can use in your entire routine is
protect yourself from the Sun in the UV
rays but especially if you’re making
your skin more sensitive by using an
active the second tip I want to say is
this is my personal skin care routine I
feel like this is actually a routine
that can work for most people but
remember that your skin it’s everything
is personal it’s your skin and you only
get your own skin once right so you have
to be careful with it you have to make
sure that this is a routine that’s gonna
work for you and you probably have to
experiment a little bit so you can say
my hair stayed in place like I wanted it
to um that was my night time skincare
routine to my current nighttime skincare
routine you guys can ask me any
questions I’m probably gonna be
answering because that’s what I do late
at night in bed on my phone I’m
wondering who’s gonna maybe potentially
react to my skincare routine any takers
anyway good night guys and thanks for
watching
okay so amazing amazing amazing so so
happy for that was that was just like
ahh so good and I love like one one
thing that celebrities never really
mentioned when they do these routines is
a is their skincare routine and I find
that even just me and an average guy
with too many moisturizers on YouTube
people always say like I’m buying
everything you talked about in this
routine so I never want to encourage
that I just want to inspire you to maybe
look at new ingredients maybe introduce
you to some new products but I never
wanted to copy my whole routine and
that’s why I always say why I’m using
that product what I feel that beneficial
ingredients are in that product and who
can kind of benefit from it and so glad
Susan mentioned that she always mentions
it anyway but that’s her routine that’s
her skin you was probably gonna want
something different but actually said
there’s a pretty good like basic routine
that a lot of people can benefit from
most other products in that but yeah
that was I’m just so happy for her I’m
so happy for her and her team at mix
makeup I think that was just such again
was such a nice full circle moment and I
wonder how many people are gonna react
to her routine so yeah I hope you
enjoyed that it was more like a
fangirling moment for me I don’t think I
added any kind of beneficial information
there I’m just filming this on a whim
obviously I didn’t know this is gonna
happen but that’s it for me now guys I
will see you next time
you
