  • And most of the products that I use are from 13 Loon, which is our new e commerce site, where we celebrate, amplify and highlight black and brown founders, founders, people of color who make products for all.

  • So last night I was wash day, so I used this incredible forbidden hair mask by Bomba Curl, and it's so good, it smells delicious.

  • It's it's yummy yellow color.

  • So I just applied this to my hair yesterday after shampooing left it on for 20 minutes, and it just kind of gives you that silky glow.

  • So that was kind of pre tonight and then before my bath.

  • Today I love a dry brush.

  • This brush is by gilded beauty, and a dry brush is just amazing way to exfoliate your skin and help you get to that baby soft skin.

  • I always say that like anti aging is not just from the neck up.

  • We've gotta take care of our skin from head to toe.

  • So I use this all over my body and take a bath.

  • And now my skin feel silky soft and my skin tends to run really, really dry.

  • So I love to use body oils and body phones after and kind of give myself that extra love, especially in these winter months.

  • This oil I love is by the established It's so good.

  • Um, it's more like a dry oil.

  • So when you put it on, it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy at all.

  • It to smells delicious.

  • And all of these founders just put so much love into these products.

  • So now we're gonna move on to my face first.

  • I'm going to start with these flaunt wipes by Laura Nappy.

  • I was never a big face white person before I discovered these wipes.

  • But, you know, I'm all about making sure that our pores air completely clean Before we start any treatment I'm going to start with.

  • This'd just kind of wiped off the face and neck area, and then I'm gonna follow up with our new KO sweet almond cleansing balm.

  • I believe in double cleansing.

  • Um, it's borrowed from Korean beauty.

  • Um, it's just a way to make sure once again, that we're getting our pores extra clean before we start our treatment.

  • But what I love about this bomb eyes, we use sweet almonds in it, which are packed with antioxidants in the Nikkei A brand.

  • So you're actually getting some hydration in your skin as you are Also cleansing when you have makeup on this really just tends to just, like melt the makeup off your face.

  • Tons of makeup artists love to carry this product in their kit because it's just a really, really easy way toe wash your face.

  • But I'm gonna make this even more of a treatment by taking a warm washcloth kind of giving myself that spot effect.

  • I feel so good and wiping it all off.

  • So if you have makeup, it melts off your makeup.

  • Otherwise, it just kind of melts off those impurities.

  • But it leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated back in the day.

  • We would think that when we cleansed our skin and it felt like dry and tight, it meant it was clean.

  • And then you get a little older and you realize that's not the way to go.

  • So this leaves that like hydration and softness in the skin.

  • So now I can start treating.

  • So next, Speaking of treatment, I'm going to move on to the Joanna Vargas exfoliating mask.

  • This mask is so good, I preach that we should exfoliate at least twice a week.

  • That really just helps to slough off all that dull, dry skin helped to reveal that kind of baby soft skin, especially in winter months.

  • And you know, if you live in areas where you're going from hot to cold and hot to cold, that's so rough on our skin.

  • My grandfather was a medicine man, so I learned about the power of restorative oils from my grandfather.

  • He went out in nature to extract oils to treat the skin and ailments, and so these family beauty secrets were passed down to me, and now I'm sharing them with you were born with a certain amount of oils.

  • And then as we age, we lose those oils.

  • As we age, we lose those oils.

  • We gotta feed oil back into your skin.

  • A lot of people think, Oh, I have oily skin.
