  • (contemporary music)

  • - Raven TV.

  • Hey guys, what's up?

  • It's Raven and as you can probably tell by the title

  • this is going to be my hygiene routine.

  • This video is in partnership with Vagisil Sensitive Scents

  • and I just wanted to share with you guys

  • all of my favorite products that I keep in my shower

  • and everything that I use to feel nice and fresh and clean.

  • So all these products that' I'm about to show you guys

  • are basically things that I have discovered

  • through trial and error, finding out what works for me.

  • I do have sensitive skin

  • and we all have sensitive skin down there in our lady parts.

  • I also have acne-prone skin, not only on my face

  • but on my body as well.

  • So this is just what works for me

  • and I wanted to share it with you guys

  • 'cause I know this can be really hard to master,

  • for girls especially.

  • So, jumping right into the products, into my routine,

  • the first step of my routine is of course to take a shower

  • and clean myself.

  • So how do I clean myself in the shower?

  • Well I use a combination of a few different products.

  • The first product that I wanted to share with you guys

  • is this Vagisil Sensitive Scents Daily Intimate Wash.

  • This is what I use to clean my intimate area,

  • if ya know what I mean, my no-no square,

  • my lady bits, my vagina.

  • Obviously, you wanna be very careful

  • with the types of soaps and washes that you use down there

  • in that area because it is such a sensitive area.

  • That's why I use this

  • because it is specially made for that area.

  • As the name suggests, it is for sensitive skin.

  • But the cool thing about this one

  • is that it is formulated for women

  • who don't wanna have to skip out on the fragrance

  • or that fresh scent.

  • It says right here on the front of the bottle

  • that it is a skin-friendly scent, no dyes, no parabens,

  • no MIT preservatives, it's hypoallergenic and pH balanced

  • and it has vitamin E in it and it is dermatologist tested

  • and gynecologist tested.

  • So this is going to give you all-day freshness,

  • it's going to give you a fresh scent.

  • This one is in the scent White Jasmine,

  • which smells so good you guys.

  • It smells very fresh and clean.

  • It smells kinda floral and feminine

  • but it's not too strong of a scent.

  • It just smells fresh,

  • that's the best way that I can describe this.

  • So that is why I like this wash,

  • not only because it is for sensitive skin

  • and it is safe to use down there, dermatologist tested,

  • gynecologist tested, but I get the best of both worlds

  • because it does allow me to have

  • a little bit of a fragrance and a fresh scent

  • that is going to leave me fresh all day.

  • So the Vagisil Sensitive Scents is for my vaginal area

  • but then for the rest of my body

  • I use a combination of a couple of products.

  • So I'm really big into exfoliating.

  • I think exfoliating is a major key,

  • major part of my shower routine.

  • The first product that I use is actually

  • this Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

  • Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub.

  • And this is a face wash.

  • It's meant to be, you know, an acne face wash

  • but I use it on my chest, my shoulders, and my back.

  • I have acne-prone skin.

  • I have gotten my acne under control

  • since I've taken Accutane but that doesn't mean

  • that I don't have acne-prone skin anymore

  • and I just want to be safe rather than sorry.

  • Plus, exfoliating is good for your skin regardless

  • because it gets all the dead skin off.

  • So I use this because

  • not only is it going to prevent breakouts

  • and get rid of any breakouts that I do have

  • but it's also going to exfoliate

  • because it does have little granules in it

  • that's gonna get rid of all of that dry skin

  • and it's gonna make my skin

  • nice and glowy and fresh and clean, like I said.

  • So I use the Neutragena face wash on my chest

  • and my shoulders and then basically

  • for the entire rest of my body

  • I still like to exfoliate so I use this product.

  • I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce this brand name.

  • I think it's Purlisse,

  • and this is their Coconut Oil and Coffee Sugar Body Scrub.

  • So basically this is a coffee sugar scrub

  • and it says on the back of here

  • that coffee reinvigorates and awakens skin.

  • I'm not sure how good the benefits of coffee

  • really work on my skin

  • but I like it because it's just a grainy texture

  • that is kind of an organic, natural texture

  • that can exfoliate my skin.

  • Coffee, sugar, those types of things

  • it's just kind of like a nice natural granule

  • that can exfoliate your skin.

  • So this has coffee and sugar cane in it.

  • It also has coconut oil which of course

  • is going to soften and moisturize your skin.

  • So I use this product literally from like here down.

  • I use it everywhere except for my sensitive area of course,

  • I don't need to exfoliate all up in there.

  • But I do exfoliate my bikini line,

  • I exfoliate my arms, my elbows, my knees,

  • I exfoliate under my arms.

  • I especially exfoliate anywhere

  • where I'm going to waxing or shaving

  • because that prevents ingrown hairs.

  • It also helps lighten up any darkness.

  • It also helps to just make your skin more glowy and healthy

  • like I said, get all that dry skin off.

  • So I exfoliate pretty much everywhere else on my body

  • with this product.

  • And I make sure to really take some time

  • to really rub it in in circular motions

  • and then of course you rinse off all of the grainy texture

  • but this does leave behind a nice moisturizing layer

  • of coconut oil because the coconut oil

  • doesn't necessarily wash off with water.

  • So it sticks to your skin

  • even after you get out of the shower.

  • So you will be moisturized even after you dry off

  • which is a major key.

  • Now I do tend to go kinda crazy with my shower routine.

  • I like to feel really, really fresh and clean

  • when I get out of the shower.

  • So sometimes even after I go in with this wash

  • and this exfoliating wash and the Vagisil wash,

  • sometimes I still go in

  • with just like a very simple body wash

  • that kinda suds up and just wash off

  • my whole entire body again,

  • just because I like to be that clean.

  • So that covers cleaning and cleansing

  • and also exfoliating

  • but now let's talk about hair removal.

  • So, more recently I've been staying away from shaving

  • because shaving just causes so many issues.

  • It causes more ingrown hairs.

  • It causes it to grow back really prickly and stubbly.

  • It grows back really fast.

  • It irritates my skin.

  • Shaving is really just not cool.

  • So I've been staying away from shaving

  • and I've been using alternative methods.

  • First, let's talk about the less scary option

  • which is Nair.

  • I have to tell you guys that the spray-on Nair,

  • which is what this is.

  • This is called the Nair Spray Away Nourish with Argon Oil,

  • this is a major key.

  • Forget the days

  • of when you used to use the cream lotion Nair

  • and you used to have to put it on with your hands

  • and it was just such a mess and just

  • (negative hum)

  • No, spray-on Nair, this is a major key.

  • If you're gonna use Nair you should really just use this one

  • because literally it's so easy, it's so mess-free.

  • You just spray it on.

  • It comes out in like a nice steady stream.

  • You spray it on wherever you want.

  • If you want to remove all the hair off of your arms

  • it's easy to just spray it on.

  • If you wanna remove all the hair off your legs,

  • you spray on and it just creates like a white kind of foam

  • that sticks to your skin.

  • You leave it on for a few minutes

  • and you get in the shower and you rinse it off

  • and it's that easy.

  • It removes the hair,

  • it lasts a little bit longer than shaving,

  • it's completely pain free

  • and I haven't had any issues with this irritating my skin

  • because I think of the argon oil

  • and whatever other little extra vitamins

  • that they put in here.

  • It doesn't seem to be as harsh on the skin

  • as like the traditional lotion Nair.

  • Most of the time I really don't care

  • about the hair that grows on my arms

  • but if I'm feeling like it

  • I will sometimes remove the hair on my arms like I said

  • by spraying this on and then just rinsing it off

  • and of course I use this on my legs as well.

  • The best way is to leave it on for a few minutes,

  • get in the shower, and get a wash cloth

  • and wipe it and kind of like wipe the hair off of your skin.

  • So that's for arms and legs.

  • As for the underarms and the bikini area,

  • which are the more tricky areas,

  • I really don't feel like Nair

  • or anything really works the best in those areas.

  • So waxing it is.

  • Now I personally haven't started going to a waxing

  • like professional waxing place yet.

  • I'm thinking about starting to add that

  • to my monthly routine

  • just because I feel like it might be

  • just a little bit easier to get it professionally done.

  • But at the same time, sometimes you just wanna go ahead

  • and get it done yourself at home

  • and sometimes people are not comfortable

  • with going to another place to get like a bikini wax

  • or a Brazilian wax or anything like that.

  • So, this is for you.

  • This is the Nair At Home Waxing Kit.

  • This is actual liquid wax

  • that you heat up in the microwave

  • and this is the Nair Body Waxing Strips.

  • These ones are for face and body.

  • So these waxing strips actually come

  • in two different sizes in here.

  • I've actually already used up the other larger size,

  • but this is the smaller size that comes in here.

  • This is the one that's basically meant

  • to use on your face.

  • You can use it on your upper lip, on you eyebrows,

  • whatever, I do not wax my face.

  • My skin is too sensitive for that so I don't use these.

  • But there's a slightly bigger size that's about this big

  • that you can use on your underarms or your bikini line.

  • It comes with a bunch of strips in here

  • and each one is actually two

  • because you peel it apart and you get wax on both sides.

  • Don't need to heat it up.

  • You don't even need to rub it between your hands.

  • It says on the box that you don't need to warm

  • or rub between your hands but you just peel it apart,

  • it gives you a sticky wax, you place it on your skin,

  • you rip it off.

  • I'm sure you guys have all seen how wax strips work.

  • This is actual liquid wax.

  • It comes in this little plastic container.

  • It just looks like this.

  • It's rock hard when you've have it cooled off, obviously.

  • You put it in your microwave for a few minutes,

  • it heats up, it melts up, they give you instructions

  • on how to heat it up and everything

  • and make sure it's not too hot.

  • But it'll turn into a very thick, waxy substance.

  • They give you little Popsicle sticks.

  • They also give you a post-waxing wipe

  • but this is hard wax.

  • So you don't need to use any strips with it.

  • The wax itself will harden

  • and you just rip off the wax itself.

  • So you would take some of this, dip it in,

  • apply it to the area.

  • Of course, follow the instructions

  • about going with the hair not against the hair

  • and all that stuff.

  • Apply it on, it hardens, you grab the wax itself

  • and you rip it off.

  • Again, I'm sure you guys have all seen

  • how waxing is done.

  • This is just an at-home kit so you can do it yourself.

  • And yes, I have used this multiple times.

  • I have waxed my underarms with this

  • and I have also waxed my own bikini line with this.

  • Does it hurt?

  • Of course it hurts.

  • It's going to hurt when you go to a professional as well.

  • I mean, especially if you're not used to it.

  • It's not going to be enjoyable but the results are worth it.

  • So if you're somebody who doesn't like to go to a place

  • to get it done, you can consider using something like this.

  • As for the waxing strips, I feel that they just don't work

  • quite as well as the actual liquid wax.

  • They work and I have used,

  • obviously I used up all of the bigger waxing strips.

  • I've used them under my arms and on my bikini line as well

  • and they definitely work.

  • I haven't had any issues with them.

  • The only thing is I feel like

  • it leaves behind more stray hairs whereas with this one

  • you're gonna be ripping everything out, definitely.

  • It's easier to use

  • because they're just literally stick it on there,

  • rip it off, you're done but I would say

  • that this one works just a little bit better

  • but you're gonna have to devote more time

  • to this whole entire process.

  • And again, when it comes to this stuff

  • you just wanna make sure

  • that you read the instructions very carefully

  • and make sure that you're following everything safely

  • 'cause you don't wanna burn yourself or hurt yourself

  • any more than you have to.

  • After waxing they give you these little post-waxing wipes.

  • This is just to calm your skin

  • and get any excess wax off.

  • So definitely use the wipes that they give you.

  • But I also like to go in with 100% aloe vera gel.

  • This is just to calm your skin.

  • You can use this for a lot of reasons.

  • You can use it for sun burns, for razor burns,

  • for all type of stuff but I also like to use it after waxing

  • just to calm the skin, help with any bumps or redness

  • and anything like that.

  • So I apply this on any area that I wax.

  • And the main thing that I like to moisturize my skin with

  • is coconut oil.

  • I just feel it works the best for me.

  • I like the texture of it,

  • I like the look that it gives my skin,

  • and it really just moisturizes my skin really, really well.

  • So, as I said before,

  • my body exfoliant already has coconut oil in it

  • and it definitely leaves some behind on your skin,

  • which is good but you know,

  • we gotta go in and add a little bit extra.

  • So I recently bought this off of Amazon.

  • This is fractionated coconut oil

  • which basically just means that it's liquid coconut oil.

  • A lot of times if you just buy 100% pure coconut oil

  • it's going to come in a jar

  • and it's going to be kind of a solid texture

  • and you have to dig in there and warm it up with your hands

  • to be able to apply it onto your skin.

  • But this is fractionated so it's liquid.

  • It came with a little pump

  • so you just pump it out real easy, apply it.

  • I just find it so much easier,

  • especially 'cause I have long nails.

  • I don't like digging into jars of stuff.

  • So I just like to apply coconut oil

  • all over my entire body,

  • pretty much from the neck down.

  • I just make sure that I moisturize,

  • make sure that I'm nice and glowy and shiny.

  • Especially in the summertime,

  • you definitely wanna load up on some sort of body oil.

  • Coconut oil for me tends to absorb into my skin really well

  • and it definitely leaves it moisturized

  • but if I'm going somewhere and I'm gonna be showing my legs

  • or something like that and I want to look extra shiny

  • I feel that coconut oil doesn't,

  • like the shine doesn't necessarily last

  • because it absorbs in.

  • So if I wanna add extra shine

  • I go in with good old fashioned Johnson's Baby Oil

  • just because this has more of a shin to it.

  • So I'll apply like an extra layer of this

  • on top of my legs just to give that like glowy look.

  • And one last thing I wanted to mention

  • as part of my hygiene routine

  • is the Vagisil Sensitive Scents Daily Intimate Wipes.

  • So we talked about the wash,

  • which I definitely use every day

  • to keep my area fresh and clean,

  • but sometimes you need to be fresh and clean on the go,

  • especially when you're on your period.

  • At least for me, I definitely wanna make sure

  • that I'm staying fresh when I'm on my period.

  • I mean everyday, but especially on my period

  • I really like to use some sort of wipe

  • and I would rather use one that is specially formulated

  • for my vaginal area and that's gonna leave me

  • with a fresh scent like I said.

  • This is a skin-friendly scent.

  • The White Jasmine is the same scent as the wash

  • so it's going to continue that freshness

  • all throughout the day if you need to touch up

  • or clean anything up or just kinda refreshen yourself

  • on the go, you can definitely keep these in your bag,

  • keep 'em in your locker,

  • keep 'em wherever you need to keep them.

  • I also keep some just next to my toilet at home.

  • So definitely recommend using the wipes as well

  • to freshen up throughout the day.

  • So you guys, that is pretty much my entire shower routine,

  • feminine personal hygiene routine

  • and all of the products that I mostly use.

  • Thanks again to Vagisil Sensitive Scents

  • for partnering with me on this video.

  • Definitely check out these products

  • if you guys haven't already.
