- Okay, I am not a pretty sight when I wash my face,
I look like a fish gasping for air or gasping for water.
They don't gasp for air, they're underwater,
gasping for water.
(upbeat music)
I am so excited to be able to show you my skincare routine,
because I am usually used to reacting to skincare routines.
I'm not used to showing other people my skincare routine
and especially because it's switching so often,
I feel like there's no sense of normalcy,
but now I'm excited to reveal it to you guys,
because so many of you have been asking and yeah,
this is just gonna be fun, I'm looking forward to it.
Also, I hope that you can appreciate that I'm wearing a robe
because it's low key 85 degrees,
and I'm actually pretty hot, but you know what?
I wanted to stick with wearing a robe
because it's a Go To Bed With Me.
I don't get this chance every day.
You are also joined with me in my room,
not in my bathroom because my bathroom
is the size of a shoe box
and I figured that you probably don't wanna be seeing
up my nostrils my entire skincare routine,
so we're here instead.
So I may have to run in and out out to wash my face.
I'm going to be using in total one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight products with one skincare tool.
So nine products all together.
I'm really excited to go through them
because these are some new goodies that I found
that I haven't shared with many people.
So, first thing I do is I use a cleansing balm,
I'm specifically using the Then I Met You
Living Cleansing Balm.
I like this one because, well,
I like cleansing balms in general
because they're a great way of just dissolving the sunscreen
and excess oil and dirt buildup that has accumulated
throughout the day off of your skin.
Cleansing oils are nice, but sometimes they can be
a little bit messy, which is why I like cleansing balms.
But typically I don't go for a lot of cleansing balms
because they have an ingredient called polyethylene,
which is plastic.
And I kind of don't want to be putting plastic on my face
and having it go down the drain.
And this one is polyethylene free,
which is why I really like it.
So I usually just take a little bit,
there's some skincare ASMR.
This stuff is like a mango smoothie on the skin.
I love applying it because it applies so smoothly
and it's formulated with a lot of rich, hydrating oils
that are really great for nourishing the skin,
which I think is awesome because the cleansing system
can usually be a little bit stripping to the skin.
And a lot of people don't realize that cleansing
can be the most damaging part of the skincare routine
if we're not careful.
And I really like that this one is formulated
with so many oils to just really soften and nourish my skin.
It does have fragrance and anyone who watches my channel
knows that I do not like fragrance,
but I'm okay with it in a wash off treatment.
So in my wash off treatments is when I get to
splurge a little bit,
because it's not gonna be on my face very long.
It's gonna be on there for like a maximum of 30 seconds
before I rinse it off.
So I'm not really gonna see any sensitivities
or risks associated with fragrance.
I make sure to get on my under eye area.
So I don't forget there and just gently work it
into the skin everywhere.
I always used to think cleansing oils and cleansing balms
were for people who wore makeup every day,
but I actually think they should be used by everyone
because sunscreen is a tricky little thing
to get off your skin.
And especially with the amount of sunscreen I wear,
which is hint a lot, a lot every single day,
I'm like anal about making sure I avoid the sun
as much as possible.
The cleansing balm is definitely smart for me.
And then after I make sure I've gotten
every part of my skin,
I just rinse it off with water and then immediately go in
with my cleanser, which I just do all in one swoop.
My favorite cleanser,
the one that I have to use all the time,
otherwise my skin freaks out is the
Youth To The People, kale and green tea spinach cleanser.
This one, I don't know why my skin gets so upset
every time I discontinue using this from my routine,
I'll try to experiment with new cleansers and my skins like,
what the heck, bro, why did you do that?
So this one is a pretty integral part of my routine.
I also really like it because I have combination
to more oily skin and being that it is summer right now
and Hawaiian, it's very humid, of course.
I tend to be really, really oily.
So I need a cleanser that's going to deeply cleanse my skin,
get everything out of my pores
to make sure that they're not clogged,
they're not gonna accumulate dead skin cells
and dirt over time.
And this one does a great job of doing that.
But my skin doesn't feel overly stripped afterwards,
which is tricky to find because some cleansers
I find work so well that afterwards, my skin is like
(gasp) gasping for water.
It's like the Sahara Desert.
Again, so I'm gonna rinse off and start applying this.
So usually I take about a full pump
and it's just gently massage it into my skin.
Last time I did this on video,
my eyes ended up burning so badly
because I'm not used to having my eyes open
while cleansing my skin
and my eyes are very, very, very sensitive.
So I'm gonna be very careful, maybe close my eyes for this.
I found that sometimes this cleanser can be
a little bit too harsh during the winter time
because during the winter my skin tends to dry out
a lot more, especially in the cheek area.
It gets really, really dry.
And anytime I travel to the mainland, whew,
my skin gets so, so, so dry.
I actually used to struggle with eczema a lot.
Thankfully I don't anymore,
being in a more humid environment, but yeah,
this cleanser really only works
for when it's particularly humid
and my skin is being extra oily.
Okay, once I feel that my skin is clean enough,
I go over to the bathroom.
I'm still not opening my eyes
and this is gonna be a struggle trying to walk to the sink
to wash my face off.
But you know, I'm gonna do my best, wish me luck.
Wow, I made it over to the bathroom with my eyes closed
and I did not spill on my shirt, cha chow.
Don't always win that battle, but today I did, I guess, woo.
Also if you notice that my skin is a little bit red,
I have reactive skin, I don't have sensitive skin.
My skin can actually handle a lot of products,
ingredients, testing, et cetera, et cetera,
but it is reactive.
If the wind blows my skin's like inflammation instantly.
Next I go in with a new step that I haven't been using
for very long, it's the Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner.
Now, normally I'm not a big toner person,
'cause I don't really feel that they're necessary
to a skincare routine, but this product,
the first ingredient is green tea extract.
The first ingredient, and it's like super affordable
and normally products with that high of a concentration
of green tea, heck even less of a concentration of green tea
are super, super expensive.
So I was pleasantly surprised to find this.
And I also don't use a cotton pad.
I just put it in my palms and pat it into my skin.
You know, it's funny, my nighttime routine
was not always this complete.
I used to be extremely bad at doing a nighttime routine,
but once I figured out to put my nighttime skincare
right next to my bed and all have my cellar water there
to just like do my entire skincare routine
while laying down,
I slowly started getting into a nighttime skincare routine
until now, which I'm like fully addicted.
But for anyone out there who is struggling to keep up
with a consistent nighttime routine,
