  • (bright upbeat music)

  • - Start from the top.

  • What's your skin type?

  • - Perfect.

  • I have perfect skin.

  • I mean, let's be honest here.

  • - My skin used to be a hot mess.

  • - Hot mess - All over the place.

  • I don't know if you have it, I had problematic skin.

  • - It was hot, but it was a mess

  • - We live in Chicago.

  • (laughing loudly)

  • I'm combination.

  • I know all about my skin because

  • I have had problematic skin forever.

  • - Right - You know those days

  • because we've known each other for 14 years.

  • I mean, I go to bed a good 15 minutes

  • before you do every night.

  • - Yeah, well.

  • I Think that my nightly routine is wiring down.

  • It's my grounding place.

  • It's really self care, you know?

  • - We're gonna cleanse, we're gonna deface.

  • Then we're going to take you on a little adventure,

  • a little school,

  • what's it called in school when you go on a vacation?

  • - A recess - No, when you leave school

  • - The holidays? Spring break?

  • - No, when you leave school to with the class somewhere.

  • - Field trip! - We are going on field trip,

  • and we're going to take you to our skincare heaven

  • in our living room.

  • And then we're going to come back in here,

  • we're gonna do some lotions,

  • we can do some serums, we're gonna do a lot of oil.

  • And then I'm gonna go to bed.

  • And then Bethany will do 10 more things.

  • And then they'll go to bed.

  • Oh, yes. That's the one. - [Nico] Oh yeah

  • - That is the look.

  • Kale green tea spinach vitamins

  • super food cleanser from Youth to the people

  • made in California and its a glass bottle.

  • I have been trying to look for more products

  • in with glass bottles because, plastic.

  • When you wash your face get it nice and wet first,

  • and the strokes that you make in your face,

  • I think they are super important so it's always this way,

  • this way, this way.

  • - [Nico] Does it smell like kale?

  • How much kale do you think is actually in there?

  • - A whole head.

  • - [Nico] A whole head for your head.

  • So what's next, your toner?

  • - Tah Dah, okay yeah,

  • So Witch Hazel - [Nico] level Witch Hazel.

  • I think I got you into witches?

  • - Yeah, I think so too.

  • That's probably one thing you did.

  • It's just a classic you know,

  • - [Nico] I got into witch hazel at work.

  • Productions love witch hazel.

  • - It's also very affordable.

  • Okay, I've done that and now I'm going to do a face spray.

  • This face spray is by a company called Wildling,

  • they are incredible.

  • They make a face spray and oil.

  • Also fun, it's glass bottle.

  • And it's a woman owned company, small business support.

  • Okay, little bit of oil.

  • I think that a lot of people feel like

  • they can't use oil on their face

  • because they'll break out.

  • I used to feel that way.

  • But if you use oil appropriately,

  • it can be really incredible.

  • Okay, and then I will use these tools.

  • - But first we clean my face.

  • Alright, the first thing I like to do,

  • if I have makeup on my face, is take a hit of coconut oil.

  • We just got some organic cold pressed coconut oil

  • I gotta get around the eyes,

  • I gotta get the lips.

  • You know the beard is a whole other situation.

  • We'll get to that later.

  • - [Bethany] Oh, look at that.

  • Look at that face wiping.

  • Then you use Bethany's towel. - [Bethany] No! Wait!

  • - This is a product that I've been loving lately.

  • It's called Fourth Ray AM to the PM.

  • It's a gel cleanser.

  • They also make a cleansing oil which

  • if you don't have coconut oil, this is a lot more expensive.

  • Back to the scorching hot.

  • And you work.

  • And we're good to go.

  • - Sorry babe. - [Bethany] Nico--

  • - That is it, my face is clean.

  • - [Bethany] Let's see.

  • Wow, what about?

  • - Babe, this is family friendly show.

  • Field trip time.

  • (harmonizing to each other)

  • All right, we promised it now it's coming your way.

  • Field trip time.

  • This is our sauna.

  • - So we got this sauna before we had a dining room table.

  • - Yep, this was one of the first things in the living room.

  • - And even before we got a couch, before we got anything.

  • - But we love these things, we're getting in.

  • I do just about an hour a day here.

  • - I do a couple times a week.

  • It depends the colder it is outside

  • the more I am in the sauna, I'm always cold.

  • - Totally. - Yeah.

  • - But it is incredible to do before you go to sleep

  • because this is an infrared sauna,

  • clear light infrared sauna,

  • and it just literally pulls all of the toxins

  • directly out of your skin just like

  • (suction noises)

  • you're gonna give us a tutorial on this gua sha stone

  • correct?

  • - Yes, there are all kinds of gua sha stones

  • but this one's made by Wildling beauty

  • and the reason that I love gua sha

  • is because one it helps lift and plump

  • and it also helps extrain toxins from your face.

  • It helps move the limp, it helps release jaw tension

  • and helps with TMJ, it helps with sleeping.

  • - And it just feels really good.

  • - It feels so good.

  • I got it and then you started stealing my stone

  • all the time.

  • - Yeah. - All right.

  • So the key in doing gua sha is to have a little bit of soap

  • on your face to try to keep this stone somewhat flat,

  • and to not push too hard

  • and to pull from both directions at the same time.

  • (calm music)

  • So the best strokin in the gua sha

  • starts like right back here kinda behind your ear

  • and your jaw.

  • If you pull down on that it's a natural lymph drainage

  • and like the dumpster is right here in this like is

  • that clavicle kind of hole right?

  • But that is how you depuff your face.

  • So after a flight,

  • if you do like the stroke down the stroke down,

  • you do those faces ready to go.

  • My quarantine High,

  • you know I have an online business and workout

  • and we've been able to do some giving back.

  • Which is felt empowering in a powerless time.

  • What's your high quarantine?

  • - Taking my highway for me, Buzzkill.

  • My high is finally being able to put some love energy,

  • blood, sweat and tears into this house.

  • Getting our hands dirty.

  • You're stranded on a desert island.

  • What's the one thing that you take?

  • - I knew you were gonna ask me that.

  • - What's the one thing skincare wise to take with you?

  • - Oh skincare wise actually though,

  • if I were really going to a desert island.

  • I think I would take like a moisturizing sunscreen.

  • Because who cares if I get a pimple?

  • I'm stranded on a desert island.

  • - Totally.

  • - Okay, what skincare would you take?

  • I would probably take coconut oil.

  • - I thought like you would take Skin Food.

  • - Skin Food in on a desert island.

  • I like skim food when it's cold outside.

  • All right y'all, our hour is up, we--

  • - Are going to take a shower.

  • - And then we're going to start our

  • nightly moisturization routine.

  • - The most important part. - Seriously,

  • we'll catch you in a bit.

  • - All right, so I've just gotten out of the shower

  • and I'm going to start applying skincare.

  • The first product that I love to use I've been using this

  • for like four years is called Lumion Skin.

  • It's an oxygen serum.

  • The main ingredient is something called hypochlorous acid.

  • If you've never heard of this ingredient,

  • you're going to start hearing about it soon.

  • But it's super supernatural.

  • It's basically water, salt and oxygen.

  • And this is actually found you know,

  • this is gonna sound wild,

  • but it's found in our white blood cells.

  • And so this product with like,

  • I think long term use is best,

  • but it helps to clear the skin and even things out.

  • So like right now, Have a little pimple right there.

  • Back in the day, that would have been like a week long thing

  • that would have gotten bigger tomorrow, this will be gone.

  • And I fully attribute it to this stuff.

  • So it's not a replacement for anything else.

  • Just anytime my skin is bare and clean,

  • I put it on,

  • like you're seeing me do now, till my skin is wet.

  • And then I let it dry.

  • Number two, I kind of switch between different things.

  • So sometimes they use oil, sometimes they use lotion.

  • It kind of depends.

  • Today, I'm just simply going to use my very,

  • very favorite lotion.

  • It's called own botanicals, it's so mom and pop.

  • It's not fancy.

  • The ingredients are absolutely incredible.

  • It's also completely unbleached and unprocessed.

  • So the tube is designed in a way so

  • that they didn't have to use any of those chemicals.

  • It also looks like this.

  • It's like very kind of thick

  • and like a little bit green like matte.

  • I really love this stuff.

  • I use it liberally.

  • I have this on a subscription order so

  • I get it all the time.

  • And then you'll notice

  • that when I'm putting lotion on my face,

  • I'm actually following the lines

  • and the patterns of my face.

  • So I'm coming up around my forehead, into my temples,

  • from underneath my eyes,

  • they pull out up to my temples once again.

  • And then I do the same thing underneath my cheekbone.

  • And then when I get down here,

  • I kind of wrinkled the circular position to relax my jaw.

  • And then I pull down.

  • I love this lotion so much.

  • I also use it for my neck, and I even use it on my hands.

  • Can't forget about the decolletage.

  • The next thing that I think is really important is

  • that you groom your eyebrows at night.

  • So like most people,

  • I had a little of my eyebrows down to nothing.

  • When the super thin eyebrows look was cool.

  • My tips for growing your eyebrows back

  • number one throw away your tweezers

  • don't touch them just see

  • what your eyebrows will actually grow on their own.

  • I haven't used tweezers in years.

  • So put those away start letting it grow

  • and then you have to like brush them at night

  • so I have a castor oil.

  • Sometimes they use Argan oil,

  • this one's from Kreyol Essence.

  • You basically take a clean mascara wand, take some oil.

  • and then quite literally, brush your brows.

  • I always brush up

  • so think about brushing them in the direction

  • that you want them to grow.

  • But this has definitely reshaped my eyebrows

  • and it condition is them and then castor oil

  • its an oil it's known to help hair growth.

  • For eye cream,

  • I use this brand called Cannuka.

  • It's Manuka honey and CBD.

  • I've never been very into the CBD kick,

  • but I do really love this stuff.

  • My mama always taught me

  • that when you apply your eye cream,

  • you do it with your ring finger nice and light,

  • which is funny because the washer technique is to

  • literally drag the scan like we've learned

  • that kind of doing some pulling

  • or so your skin can actually be better.

  • But this stuff is very thick in consistency.

  • You can see like I really shine on my eyes super thick

  • so I love this stuff during the winter.

  • I will also often apply it on my lips just

  • because it's so ultra conditioning.

  • I feel like my nighttime routine

  • is almost a bit meditative for me.

  • Super grounding and calming.

  • And then I'm willing to finish with another face spray.

  • This one is from this little shop in Brooklyn.

  • They're amazing, they're currently closed,

  • but you can order online.

  • This is a porous refining minerals mist.

  • I really love this stuff so I use it in a couple ways.

  • I will sometimes mix it with the lotion that I use,

  • like the moisturizer said I spray it with the oil that I use

  • a little bit of like water can help those things

  • absorb into your skin more.

  • But right now,

  • I'm just going to use it to finish everything off.

  • And I spray, and that's it.

  • - Hey y'all, we are out of this sauna out of the shower

  • and its time for a little moisturization.

  • Now there's like a handful of go to products

  • that I have currently I am out on a couple of them.

  • But recently I have found this Nyakio.

  • It is a rescue oil, it is Maracuja and Yangu.

  • It's a like a restorative oil,

  • I put like a good dollop in my hand

  • and just really get it in there,

  • and it smells so good.

  • You see it's just like oh she glistens.

  • This Mary's nutritionals it's a hemp oil.

  • This is an extract it's called the remedy.

  • It smells like like cinnamon love.

  • I'm obsessed with this stuff.

  • Comes in a little dropper.

  • And again, put a nice little dollop in there.

  • Hit that real good.

  • Double the oil double the fun y'all.

  • Kiehl's lip balm, just get a nice hit there for bedtime.

  • I'm going to hit the Groomed Man spruce beard oil

  • go to sleep in.

  • Is very important to properly hydrate your beard.

  • Human beings that grow beards.

  • Just smells so good.

  • Okay, and last but not least,

  • which you may find somewhat peculiar.

  • I always put on deodorant before going to bed, I do.

  • This Primal Paste, obsessed.

  • It's a natural deodorant.

  • It's baking soda and activated charcoal.

  • Aluminum and paraben free.

  • You know, you just work it in there.

  • True story, I have ginger armpits.

  • Who knew?

  • That's pretty much it, that's my routine.

  • It's pretty, pretty basic.

  • That being said, we have done a lot.

  • It has been wonderful spending some time with you tonight.

  • Hey, Bethany, get your butt over here.

  • - Yeah, baby.

  • - It has to talk.

  • It has been wonderful.

  • We love you so much. - We love you

  • - Thanks for having us, - Stay safe.

  • - Stay sane - Wash your face and your hand

  • - And just like trust your instincts, you know?

  • Just trust your trust your gut here.

  • Doesn't have to be perfect all the time.

  • The world's weird place.

  • And we're just a couple weird beings trying to stay--
