- When you're pregnant, people are like,
-
"Don't use any of the things you use
-
"when you're not pregnant 'cause it's all poison."
-
And you're like "What?"
-
Only when you're hosting a parasite
-
can you treat yourself well?
-
It just seems a little messed up.
-
(upbeat music)
-
So this is a special sustainability
-
edition of Go To Bed With Me.
-
Which is very exciting for me,
-
because the company that I use on my skin
-
is True Botanicals which is the most
-
clean, sustainable, non-toxic company
-
that I have ever encountered and I've spent
-
a lot of time thinking about that stuff.
-
I also enjoy that the packaging is sustainable.
-
It's this dark shaded glass,
-
which keeps it preserved without putting
-
a bunch of harsh preservatives in the product itself.
-
It's something they learned from
-
the old perfumeries of France.
-
One thing I'll also say about True Botanicals
-
is they are MADE SAFE certified.
-
MADE SAFE is a third party certification organization.
-
They have really high standards,
-
very few companies pass their kind of check list
-
of sustainability requirements.
-
So I'm very excited to tell you about it,
-
because it's not only sustainable but it works.
-
So this is my basic night time routine.
-
It's not very extensive, it's not like a 75 step process.
-
It's really simple, and my skin is,
-
it's combination I feel like
-
everybody's skin is combination.
-
It goes through different things
-
based on stress and based on weather.
-
So first things first, I use the Nourishing Cleanser.
-
Now I use the Clear Line.
-
The Clear Line is based on fighting acne.
-
I used to have really bad breakouts,
-
like into my 20's when everyone else was done with breakouts
-
I was still getting them and I was going
-
to dermatologists and they were like,
-
"You have to use this harsh chemical,
-
"and this crazy peel, and this crazy mask."
-
And I was like surely that's not a good idea.
-
Now I will say, if you have a full face
-
of makeup on you would use the Pre Cleanse Oil first.
-
Which you just put on your skin,
-
massage it and then follow with the cleanser.
-
But right now I'm just gonna go right into my cleanser.
-
So one thing I should mention about True Botanicals
-
it smells so good.
-
It's like walking through a woodsy spa
-
in Northern California you're just like ah what?
-
You can get your face wet first,
-
I kind of just bang it on there.
-
And like who knows if that's the appropriate
-
thing to do but who cares?
-
This kinda to the ritualistic nature
-
of the nighttime routine, like you want something
-
that smells good you don't want something
-
that smells like burning tires
-
for the sake of beauty, like come on.
-
If it smells like crazy chemicals, it is crazy chemicals
-
and you shouldn't be putting it on your face.
-
Oh you know what I'm gonna do?
-
(water running)
-
I'm gonna put my hair up.
-
Maybe something I usually do first.
-
(water running and splashing)
-
Oh.
-
Super clean.
-
(sighs)
-
So, next step,
-
is the Antioxidant Booster.
-
So this stuff has something called resveratrol
-
which you find in apple peels.
-
It's what in the apple skin
-
that keeps apples nice and moist.
-
Often we just have to look to nature,
-
how is nature figuring it out?
-
And what you do, is you mix it with this Repair Serum.
-
You get to feel like a little chemist.
-
And I was never good at chemistry.
-
So this is my chance for redemption.
-
You put it on your hand, not very much
-
just like a little tiny bit.
-
Then you add a few pumps of the Serum
-
then you rub it together.
-
And it turns into this yummy Serum.
-
So you put it right on your skin, and then,
-
(sighs) again it just smells so good.
-
Okay so this is the Clear Pure Radiance Oil.
-
The Pure Radiance Oil is everything.
-
This is like the gateway drug.
-
You start on this, you're gonna be hooked
-
on this entire line.
-
It doesn't make you super slippery,
-
like it doesn't just kinda slide off
-
and you don't feel all gross.
-
It goes right in.
-
(rubbing on skin)
-
I put this stuff on during flights,
-
like on airplanes and people are always like--
-
(sniffing)
-
'Cause they're like what is that magical scent?
-
Okay so you might be wondering,
-
but Olivia, why would you put oil on acne prone skin?
-
That's nuts, you're crazy.
-
A lot of creams, that seem super yummy
-
and kind of moisturizing are full of a filler.
-
Some of them have wax in them,
-
and they just sit on top of your skin.
-
So for a minute you're like,
-
(sighs) I'm so dewy and fresh.
-
But it's not going in, it's not penetrating.
-
The great thing about face oils is they penetrate in,
-
it really changed everything.
-
And sometimes I'll run out, and panic.
-
And I'll put on another moisturizer I have
-
in my medicine cabinet and I'm like ooh.
-
Its just not giving me what I want.
-
So, I know it seems crazy but this oil got rid of my acne.
-
Next thing I'm gonna do is put on,
-
this Overnight Mask.
-
This stuff seals in the moisture from the oil.
-
It's great, let me show ya.
-
Well what you do, is you put it on top,
-
and all the benefits you're getting
-
from that oil from the Serum get locked in.
-
And it's really noticeable,
-
like after about eight days of using this,
-
you feel very very different.
-
And this in the winter, absolutely saved me.
-
You know, these New York winters.
-
I'll mention too, the Antioxidant Booster
-
if you do get acne you make a super condensed
-
version of it, I'm gonna do this really quick
-
'cause this is valuable.
-
You make a condensed version of the Antioxidant Serum.
-
So you do like a lot of the powder,
-
and the Serum and I have this big
-
whopper of a zit right here and I just put
-
a condensed version of the powder on there
-
and it's gonna go away.
-
My chin's always my acne spot.
-
I dunno what is that, hormones?
-
Bad luck, bad karma?
-
There ya go.
-
Here is the Nutrient Mist.
-
It's very moisturizing, it smells amazing,
-
and you can use this as a makeup setter as well.
-
So you can use this before you put your makeup on,
-
you use it to set your makeup and then all day long.
-
(spraying mist)
-
You spritz it on.
-
And I have never smelled anything
-
that smelled this good in my life.
-
It's so good.
-
This I also use on airplanes and people are like
-
what is happening?
-
But at night as the last thing you do.
-
(sighs)
-
Oh it's good.
-
That's good stuff.
-
I feel like there's a moment for everyone
-
when they decide they wanna change the game,
-
they wanna change the way they're living
-
their life to maybe live it in a way
-
that makes them feel a little bit
-
more consistent with the world they wanna create, right?
-
And this happens I think as you get older
-
you're like what am I doing to contribute
-
to the world I wanna see?
-
And for me, being pregnant was a huge eye opener for me.
-
Because when you're pregnant people are like,
-
"Oh be careful, don't use any of the things you use
-
"when you're not pregnant 'cause it's all poison."
-
And you're like "What?"
-
It's poison?
-
Why was it okay when I wasn't carrying a baby?
-
Like, only when you're hosting a parasite
-
can you treat yourself well?
-
It just seems a little messed up.
-
So I remember thinking surely if things
-
are totally unsafe when you're pregnant,
-
they're probably unsafe all the time
-
and you are worth it even without being a mom.
-
You're just worth taking care of, you really are.
-
So that's when I started really researching
-
non-toxic skin care and non-toxic
-
kind of everything that I came into contact with.
-
And yeah, it's overwhelming.
-
There's a lot.
-
And a lot of information that can get confusing.
-
But the great thing is now there are products
-
that work and are non-toxic.
-
You don't have to worry that you're sacrificing
-
something you're actually getting everything
-
you want and need out of your products
-
while also contributing to a more sustainable future,
-
for yourself, for the planet,
-
it's just a little bit of a way to participate
-
in the good, the goodness.
-
Really when you start thinking about
-
what you're putting on your skin,
-
you think about what you're coming into contact with
-
at all times including what you're putting in your mouth.
-
Toothpaste is a big part of that.
-
So I'm using Dr. Bronner's.
-
This is good stuff right.
-
All the Dr. Bronner's stuff is great.
-
I love the soap that you read when you're in the shower,
-
and it's like you can use it to wash dishes.
-
And you're like great,
-
I might bring my dishes in here, for efficiency.
-
And the Humble Brush.
-
Which is made of bamboo.
-
Bamboo is the miracle plant.
-
I learned how to brush my teeth from Seinfeld.
-
(brushing teeth)
-
Which maybe ages me, I dunno.
-
But there was an episode where Elaine
-
learned to brush her teeth properly
-
and they're like brush out, brush out,
-
brush out, circles, brush out.
-
And I was like what?
-
(water running)
-
(swooshing water around her mouth)
-
(spitting water out)
-
Boom.
-
You know, to make my kids brush their teeth
-
for more than two seconds I make them pick a song
-
and everyone has to brush their teeth
-
for the length of a song.
-
So I always try to think about it,
-
it's supposed to be a two minute process.
-
My advice for anyone who's trying to lessen
-
their impact on the world in terms of waste
-
or in terms of the chemicals they're pouring
-
into the water system or in any other way,
-
is baby steps.
-
If you can do a meatless Monday,
-
or maybe just meat Monday.
-
Maybe you only eat meat once a week.
-
You know we all know that's a huge
-
contributing factor to global warming.
-
I think in terms of packaging,
-
it's all about packaging.
-
Just pay attention to the amount of plastic you use,
