  • - Oh my god, I'm gonna do that thing

  • that my cast mate Johnathon does.

  • I don't know why people put their hands behind these things.

  • It's ludicrous, but I'm going to do it anyway.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - I am in New York.

  • I am not in my own home.

  • I'm here for my collaboration with Express,

  • and now I would like to show you

  • what my nighttime routine is.

  • It's a little different here than my actual home.

  • I don't bring all my products with me.

  • So, I usually wash my face first.

  • I only use my face wash maybe,

  • two or three times a week when I'm at home.

  • The rest of the time when I'm on the go

  • I don't really need a face wash.

  • I don't use much makeup at all,

  • literally just under my eyes.

  • So I wipe that off and wash my face off with hot water.

  • I do have a blemish today.

  • Yes, I know you see it.

  • I see it too.

  • It's screwing me so hard, but I only get one

  • like once or twice a year.

  • Twice a year max.

  • So I promise you, me not washing my face

  • with a face wash isn't affecting my skin.

  • I usually have really clear skin.

  • Back home I use something called Tata Harper.

  • It's their face cleanser,

  • it's this green one, it's refreshing, it's gorgeous.

  • But I don't need to use it everyday.

  • A couple of times a week when I'm home,

  • I also use a toner before I use my products.

  • The rest of my products,

  • which I'm going to show you in a moment,

  • is called Biologique Recherche, or Recherche.

  • I don't speak french, I don't know how you pronounce it.

  • But it's called P50.

  • It's wonderful.

  • It smells so bad.

  • It smells to high hell, but it's wonderful.

  • So, other than those two things,

  • I'm going to show you what I do with my face.

  • I wanna wash it real quick,

  • and then we'll get started on the rest of the products.

  • (water splashing)

  • Okay, so, washed my face with very hot water.

  • So this thing here, it is The Nightly by Beauty Bio.

  • I have been using Beauty Bio for two years.

  • Also, I love it very much.

  • I like how thick it is.

  • I have pretty dry skin.

  • I don't have a t-zone or anything,

  • it's just dry in general.

  • And so this gives me the weight that I need,

  • and it's really accessible.

  • In my opinion it's really accessible.

  • Maybe I'm completely diluted.

  • Maybe I've lost touch with reality.

  • But in my opinion it's really accessible.

  • I think this is like, $25.

  • What next, I use this.

  • It is The Quench for your eyes.

  • I put just the tiniest,

  • tiniest little bit under my eyes, before bed.

  • I have been obsessed with skin care since

  • I was probably 14, 15.

  • So my mom used to insist that we moisturize,

  • and that we stay out of the sun as much as possible,

  • to protect our skin.

  • And my mom, she wasn't one for a fabulous routine,

  • but she did try and take care of her skin.

  • So she did use moisturizer at least every night.

  • And so she used to do that us too, us kids.

  • And so is started to realize,

  • Oh I should probably protect my skin

  • because my mom is obsessed with that,

  • and maybe there is a reason why.

  • Normally you don't do what your parents say.

  • I was clearly a good child.

  • And then by the time I hit 19, 20,

  • I just thought, I really don't want the same skin

  • as a lot of my elderly relatives.

  • Yes I know, that's shade, but that's just the way life is.

  • They have very very very weathered skin,

  • and I thought, I really don't want that.

  • And so I started taking care of my skin.

  • I started, moisturizing.

  • I didn't use toner or serums up until 5 or 6 years ago.

  • But, I did start doing this one thing.

  • So I started using this face mask that I make at home.

  • I met this person who was a beauty editor

  • at a magazine for years and years and years.

  • This Korean lady, and she said

  • the majority of the stuff she uses

  • is for the magazine that she worked for,

  • but the main thing that has changed her skin

  • is this yogurt mask.

  • Take a cup, roughly, of Greek yogurt.

  • I use Fage.

  • Use whatever other thick Greek yogurt you can find.

  • And then I get green tea, tea bags.

  • I get one tea bag, steep it in some hot water

  • for about 30 seconds, and then

  • open up the contents of that tea bag,

  • put the contents of the tea bag into the yogurt,

  • mix it up, and then put that on your face,

  • and really generously.

  • Imagine Mrs. Doubtfire,

  • like you know what scene I'm talking about.

  • If you're too young for that,

  • just go google it.

  • It's really funny.

  • And that amount of yogurt on your face,

  • keep that on for 10 minutes.

  • Scrape it off, wash your face,

  • and then use your regular nighttime routine.

  • I do that, at least once a week,

  • and it's the reason why I'd like to believe

  • that I don't need to wear a lot of makeup.

  • Okay so, now that I have my eye cream on, obsessed,

  • I then move on to a full face moisturizer

  • which is my Quench.

  • So this was the Quench just for the eyes,

  • and then this one is the Quench for the rest of my face.

  • The reason I like this is because it's super thick.

  • And so it really feels like, at night

  • I've got a protective layer over my skin

  • that's working for me all evening.

  • So I just take a small amount like that,

  • and then I rub that in.

  • I don't rub it in too much.

  • I kind of leave it so it's a little bit filmy.

  • And then within 10 minutes it absorbs into my skin.

  • And gosh it's gorgeous.

  • You're skin will just feel beautiful, beautiful.

  • I'm not endorsed by them.

  • Or I don't endorse them in any way.

  • I'm not sponsored by them.

  • I just truly, truly love this brand.

  • One person who you may know very well,

  • Johnathon Van Ness, suggested about two years ago,

  • three years ago when I first met him,

  • that everybody should use SPF everyday.

  • Without a doubt, everyday.

  • And so, in the daytime I do try and make sure

  • I use a serum and moisturizer with SPF.

  • And both of these do have that in.

  • So that protects against my skin.

  • But ordinarily I don't stand out in the sun.

  • If I'm in the sun, I cover with a cap.

  • But that's it.

  • Super simple.

  • The last thing is a lip balm.

  • I always moisturize my lips before I go to bed.

  • And then I wake up with relatively soft lips.

  • That's it.

  • It was so easy.

  • Final thing you guys.

  • Now that my face is taken care of,

  • what I do is I make sure I kind of pre-select

  • an outfit for the next day.

  • So I'll choose between two looks.

  • Then in the morning based on how I'm feeling,

  • I then lock it down.

  • Do you want to see what I'm choosing?

  • Great.

  • I chose a couple of looks that

  • I know are going to work for what I'm doing.

  • A printed shirt.

  • If you know me at all you know that I love a printed shirt.

  • So that's for sure going to happen.

  • I love this shirt very much.

  • And then I'm going to decide on whether

  • I do a brown pant with it, or a black.

  • I'll wait until the morning until I decide.

  • But for now, bed time.

  • I'll see you all later, bye!

- Oh my god, I'm gonna do that thing
