- Honestly if someone
told me rubbing cow shit on your face would get rid of acne. I'd be like, "Let's split the
Uber to the nearest farm." (Edgy techno music) - We're trying Korean
Skin Care for a week. - I am pretty obsessed with
all skin care products. I'd say most of my
money goes towards that.
- I have combination skin. Dry on my cheeks, and
completely oily everywhere else. - I have been getting
random breakouts since I was about 19, 20. I just don't want acne
anymore, come at me.
I'm ready to be a K-pop Star. - I'm Dr. Annie Chiu and
I am a dermatologist. Korean women are very, very committed to beauty and skin care.
Everyone's heard by now
about these 10 to 12 step Korean skin care rituals
because they really enjoy and feel like they're
taking care of themselves really inside and outside. - Oh, oh. - Oh shit. - That's a lot.
- A two-step cleansing
ritual or double cleansing basically you wash your face, first with like oil-based cleanser which takes off eye makeup, eyeshadow. - I'm Lauren Conrad in my home right now. (Cissy laughing)
(Sheridan sobbing) - Then you follow it with a secondary step that cleanses the more organic residues that are on your face while leaving it still really sort of pH balanced and nourished without stripping it of
all its natural oils. - Do you hear this? - I know we're literally churning butter.
- I'm making butter. - Oh my god you go crazy.
- It's so foamy. - Acne prone skin tends to
run a little bit oilier. You wanna look for exfoliating products or products that have Retinoids.
These products turn over
the skin a little bit faster which prevents pore clogging,
and dissolves dead cells. - I feel like a puppy is just rubbing its body against my face. Time for toner, let's do this. - Let's tone it up.
- They may be in Korean skin care as well, but they tend to have slightly
more gentle formulations because Asian skin is more irritable. - It smells so good. - It smells so good. Essence for you, serum for me.
- An Essence typically is a
little bit lighter in texture. It usually doesn't have
a very high concentration of active ingredients, but more it's about rebalancing the skin. - Mine doesn't smell like anything. - Well you just got
really good smelling ones for the last two so just calm down.
- A serum is a super potent
step in a skin care regimen. - Oh. - That's nice. - Oh, that smells like, suede.
- Yeah.
- You do end up stripping
the skin of its natural pH. So they'll have multiple steps
just to reestablish that pH. - Bringing out the Baskin
Robbins sample spoon. - Should we go get ice cream,
let's go get some ice cream.
- Let's get ice cream. - Let's get ice cream. - We deserve it, this was a lot of work. - There's also a much heavier emphasis on sunscreens and SPFs which
is probably why they continue to maintain looking so fabulous.
- It's super like watery
which I'm a fan of. - That was long, but there's more. Bring on the mask, thank you, thank you. - Sheet masks are kind of a
like a cheat way of getting high quality ingredients in really quick is based around an occlusive effect.
So whenever the skin
has an ingredient on it driving the ingredients
deeper into the skin. - I love this, it's gonna be
like a nice solid 30 minutes. - I'm looking forward to this week, but if I ever wake up late
this is gonna be a problem. - Let's do it.
- Let go. - The fact that the routine is so long had its pros and cons. I'm home, and I'm very tired, and now I have to do like a fucking 20 minute skin care routine. - Let's talk about how long it takes to double cleanse am and pm.
I literally can't, that's
just too much time. Definitely woke up late this morning and I have to go through my
entire Korean beauty routine before I head out. I'm going to be even more
late than I am already. So that' great, but at least
I'm taking care of my skin.
You know. - Loves the mask. I was like a rave on my face. Usually like sheet masks are
very soothing and moisturizing.
It feels minty, my face is tingling. - Pumping that little
whipping maker every morning was the most monotonous,
but like weirdly satisfying moment of my morning and night routine. - I noticed how a lot
of like my little bumps started to clear up. My face feels so glowy right
now, that mask was bomb.
- One thing that I really am
excited about using more often were the sheet masks that we had. The directions recommended
putting it in the 'frigerator beforehand so that it would be cold. And it was the most
refreshing feeling ever. - It has been a week,
it was a very long week.
Mostly because I suddenly had to do like five hours worth of skin care. - Definitely found out that
my routine isn't as extensive as I thought it was compared
to the Korean version. - I noticed as the week progressed that a lot of my acne was kinda going away. - I've really noticed
overall color correction.
The redness and the patchiness
of my skin has evened out, but I'm very excited to
get back to my old routine and just incorporate the
sunscreen and the sheet masks every once in awhile. - I'm definitely gonna keep doing it. My face has never been cleaner. Oreo, do you think I look like J.Lo? Say nothing if I look like J.Lo.
Oh. I don't need a Halloween
costume next year. I'm just gonna go as a slutty bear..
Why pH matters for AHAs and acids in skincareLab Muffin Beauty Science
Hi I'm Michelle and I have a blog called Lab Muffin. Today I'm going to be talking about why pH matters for alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin C. There are many acidic active ingredients in skincare: alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic, lactic and malic acids; beta hydroxy acid or salicylic acid; vitamin C. Or L-ascorbic acid; hyaluronic acid, retinoic acid and many more.
You might have heard that some acid products need to be a certain pH to work. Why is that? Here's the science behind the skin care tip. Acids are molecules that can give up hydrogen ions or H+. For example, sulfuric acid or battery acid is H2SO4, hydrochloric acid in your stomach is HCl, and acetic acid in vinegar is CH3COOH.
All of them can break up to give up hydrogen ions like so. You can see that the acids in skincare also have hydrogen that can break off. The top layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, is made up of cells embedded in oily lipids much like bricks in mortar. Oil is non-polar, which means it isn't charged, while water is polar, which means it's partially charged.
According to the rule of thumb for solubility "like dissolves like" - that is, things that are uncharged like to mingle with things that are also uncharged, but they'll repel things that are charged. This means that in general, charged particles will not get into skin easily. When acids haven't given up their hydrogen ions they're uncharged so they're able to penetrate the stratum corneum. The uncharged version is called the free acid.
But if they've broken up or dissociated into a hydrogen ion and a negatively charged anion, they're too polar to get through the non-polar stratum corneum very easily. The extent to which the acid is broken up depends on a few things. Let's talk about the two that are most important in skincare. First, the strength of the bond holding the hydrogen ion to the rest of the acid.
This is measured by something called the pKa of the acid. For example hydrochloric acid has a very low pKa, so in water-based solutions it's almost 100% broken up. Acetic acid on the other hand has a much higher pKa so in water only about 1 in 100 acidic hydrogens have broken off. We call this strong and weak.
Skincare acids are all weak acids so they're varying amounts of broken up. Secondly there's also the pH. Of the overall product. PH measures the total concentration of hydrogen ions and low pH means more hydrogen.
The hydrogen ions can come from the skincare acid or from other acids added to the mixture. Let's consider a product where half the acid molecules are in the free acid form so half can get into the skin. If the pH is lower, there's more hydrogen ions around, which means more will attach onto the acid molecules giving more of the uncharged free acid, which can penetrate. This means that a lower concentration of acid at a lower pH will give the equivalent amount of free acid as a higher concentration at a higher pH.
For example, a product with 10% glycolic acid at pH 3 would have 8.7% Of the product in uncharged form, whereas at pH 4.5 You'd need 50% glycolic acid to get a similar amount. In summary, low pH will always increase the amount of uncharged acid that will penetrate the skin, and the pH required to get a high concentration of uncharged acid depends on which acid we're talking about. Why not use a super low pH then? You'd be correct in thinking that if we used a really low pH that would give us the maximum amount of uncharged acid that could penetrate. Unfortunately, skin likes to be at around pH 5 and very low pH can cause chemical burns.
For leave-on products, it's recommended that you use alpha hydroxy acids at a pH of less than four and a concentration between 4 and 10 percent, and ascorbic acid at a pH of around 3.5 And a concentration between 5 and 20 percent. What about the other acids? It gets more complex here because the rest of the acid molecule makes a big difference. Hyaluronic acid is a large polymer made up of thousands of these units, so it's way too big to get into the skin anyway. And it doesn't need to - it's a humectant moisturizer which means it sits on top of skin and holds on to water to keep your skin moist.
For retinoic acid, the rest of the molecule is non-polar enough that the charge doesn't make a big difference. For salicylic acid or beta hydroxy acid it's often recommended that you use a product with a pH of less than 3.5 And a concentration of 1-2% but there's some evidence that it's also non-polar enough that pH. Doesn't matter. That's a quick introduction to pH and acids in skincare.
I definitely haven't covered everything because delivering things through skin is a huge huge topic. I hope you found this video useful, and if you'd like to see more videos like this from me in the future, please comment and let me know!.

The container is not that big, so it is okay I also bring moisturizer for morning and night and if you want to watch my skincare routine, you can click here lately, I like skincare from Laneige which is Clear C Peeling Serum This serum has function to whiten, no I think it brightens the skin this also contains BHA that is able to soften the skin That's all for the skincare I also bring deodorant from Dove, but the plastic is thrown away, but ya I bring one to avoid body odour I also carry hair vitamin L'oreal Extraordinary Oil I carry this because I plan to spend this and throw the container away Next, I also carry dry shampoo from Big Hair Don't Care I really like this because this dry shampoo can make our hair look big and voluminous This does not adsorb that much oil. I will show you After that, just apply it like this It doesn't directly make your hair bigger, but textured When you go to an event, this will be really great to make you look more gorgeous So, I bring this just in case my hair is oily, as my hair is often oily I also carry hair spray from Barbara This looks old-fashioned but I like this because the spraying method releases water So I bring this because my hair is the typical hair that will be straight really fast after curling just a little more products inside this bag I also have Mac Prime Fix.
This one is a set spray makeup to set after makeup look and not to make your face too powdery. So, I bring this This is an extra. Basically, I have never brought this much for holiday The last is my comb.

We Recreated A Skincare Commercial
- Hey, Naturally Curly world. You obviously know us
from the hair industry, but we love all things beauty. (Camera click) - What we love most about
the beauty industry? The advertising. As in, we love to make fun of it.
- So in this video, we're gonna recreate a skin care ad. - Every skin care ad starts with a presentation of the problem. Kind of like this. Do you sometimes look
in the mirror and think why is this my face? (Laughing) Do people tell you you're pretty, but you kinda know they're lying to you because they're not very pretty, either? - Are you struggling to make friends because your skin looks like a beanbag? - Do you wake up with
a new pimple every day? - Is your face greasy as hell? - Do your pimples grow their own pimples? - Is your face dry as hell? - Do you use spot treatment, but you have so many
spots, that you just end up using it all over your face? - Is your face kind of
greasy in some areas and then kind of dry in some other areas, so they're dry and
greasy at the same time? - If you had to describe your face, would it be chewed gum? (Laughing) - Once they've pinpointed
your issue or concern, they introduce the product
and talk about its benefits like it's somehow different from the millions of
other products out there.
Don't forget percentages
that seem really arbitrary and also throw in the word toxins. Introducing skin fresh,
made with ingredients like bark of magnesia,
willow tree ess-- What? - [Nikki] Can you just read the words? - Yeah, I can try. - [Nikki] Okay. - I just don't know if bark
of magnesia is a real thing.
(Laughing) - [Nikki] It's from India, okay? Please don't laugh at
the ingredients, thanks. - Introducing skin so fresh. - [Evelyn] Excuse me, cut,
you do know how to read? (Laughing) - Um, yes,
- Alight. - It was on my resume.
- Can we do it a little faster?
- Okay.
- [Evelyn] You're like, hooked on phonics. - Introducing skin fresh, it is-- - [Evelyn] Cut, it's skin so fresh. - Skin so fresh. - [Evelyn] And introducing,
not intro ducing.
- Intro. Ducing. - [Evelyn] It's not that. - Intro..Intro Ducing.
- Introducing the nourishing
cleanser from skin so fresh. It's 97% proven to remove 90%
of toxins, 99% of the time. - Made with ingredients
that were at one time derived from plants, this
product is probably gentle enough for the most sensitive of skin. - [Nikki] Um, I think you
really have to emphasize the words probably, we don't
have the actual clearance to say that it actually does what it does.
- This cleanser is free
of all of the yucky stuff. Insert buzz word here. - [Nikki] I mean, I know how
to take direction, do you? - This cleanser. - [Eveyln] Excuse me, I don't
know a nice way to say this.
Where are you from? - I'm from, um -- here? - So just a buzz word. - [Nikki] Yeah, go ahead, mm-hm. Let's go, time is money. - Okay.
- Most sensitive. - [Evelyn] Cut. Are you scared? - You're just yelling at me. - What's a buzz word? Like a buzz word that has
to do with cleansing, or-- - [Nikki] You know, like
pathogens, carcinogenicens, - Um.
- [Nikki] Benzilic acid. - Oh, we just make up benefits. Next, the model or influencer has to actually use the product, and pay attention, because
the way people wash their face in commercials is completely
different than the way any human washes their face in real life. (Silence) - [Evelyn] And then look at the camera.
(Silence) [Evelyn] Smile even bigger. (Silence) (laughing) Oh my god. - Probably the most important part is the rinse. It is so extra.
It is so CGI, so fake. Them water droplets don't
land gracefully on your face. - And last, but not
least, the final result. Skin so perfect, so beautiful, but you're not fooling us,
you have makeup on at the end.
How do you have a perfect
highlight and lashes on after washing your face? - And there you have it, with skin-- - [Grace] Cut, you need to go to makeup. - I just washed my face though. - [Grace] We need to sell the product. - I thought we were trying to communicate that the skin's so fresh, it
like, leaves your skin fresh.
- [Grace] Hi, did we hire you to argue? - Okay. - I feel like a brand new me. All my blemishes instantly disappeared. - Wow, the best skin of my life.
Skin like a baby. - Like this? - [Grace] Yeah, that's good. - This is skin so fresh? - [Grace] Mm-hm. - Alright, the director wants
what the director wants, you know what I'm saying? I don't understand what this
has to do with skin so fresh.
Because a lip is a lip. You know what I'm saying, anyway. (Clears throat) - [Nikki] Oh, honey, did
you go to modeling school? - [Grace] I need you to look
right here, into this lens. No, you're not even close, okay.
Bring your eyes up. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's too much, no, that's-- No, you're in the, your body, yeah. Yeah, now your whole body is in it.
(Laughing) - Are you getting it? - [Grace] Okay, now you're
looking to the left of the lens. I need you to follow my finger. Oh my god. You're giving me Victoria Beckham, and I'm just, oh, no.
That's too much. (Laughing) Please stop. - I quit. (Laughing) - And there you have it.
Everything you need to make a successful skin care commercial. - Let's see how it turned out. - Is your face greasy as hell? - Do your pimples grow their own pimples? - Do you feel like you're
using so much cleanser, and nothing's ever happening, and you're always dirty, always
greasy, you're always ugly? Introducing the nourishing
cleanser from Skin So Fresh. It's 97% proven to remove 90%
of toxins 99% of the time.
Made with ingredients that were at one time derived from plants, this product is probably gentle enough for the most sensitive of skin. It cleanses, yet moisturizes,
leaving skin so fresh. - Hopefully now we've convinced
you to buy this product. - Skin like a baby.
- Before now, I had never thought of putting water and soap together. - Skin so fresh, it leaves
my skin feeling fresh. - If you thought this was
an absolute masterpiece, give this video a like, share
it, comment, and subscribe. We post videos every Friday, so we'll see you next week.
Bye.
- Bye..
from the hair industry, but we love all things beauty. (Camera click) - What we love most about
the beauty industry? The advertising. As in, we love to make fun of it.
- So in this video, we're gonna recreate a skin care ad. - Every skin care ad starts with a presentation of the problem. Kind of like this. Do you sometimes look
in the mirror and think why is this my face? (Laughing) Do people tell you you're pretty, but you kinda know they're lying to you because they're not very pretty, either? - Are you struggling to make friends because your skin looks like a beanbag? - Do you wake up with
a new pimple every day? - Is your face greasy as hell? - Do your pimples grow their own pimples? - Is your face dry as hell? - Do you use spot treatment, but you have so many
spots, that you just end up using it all over your face? - Is your face kind of
greasy in some areas and then kind of dry in some other areas, so they're dry and
greasy at the same time? - If you had to describe your face, would it be chewed gum? (Laughing) - Once they've pinpointed
your issue or concern, they introduce the product
and talk about its benefits like it's somehow different from the millions of
other products out there.

Top 10 Korean Skincare + BeautyBest of Korean Beauty 2017 ft. Sokoglamdiane
Hey guys It's Diane and today's video is focusing mostly on Korean skincare. A lot of you guys have been asking for a Korean skincare routine and honestly I really don't have a set routine. I really bounce back and forth a lot of different products, but these days I've been testing out this entire regimen that Soka glam sent me I'll be showing my honest opinions and a review on the top 10 best of Korean beauty awards for 2017 so I'll just be going in the order in which I would put them onto my face and the first product is the Enature Moringa cleansing balm. This is just one of your basic solid balm type oil cleansers and honestly once you start double cleansing you really can't go back to Just doing cleansing foam because oil cleanser really gets rid of all of your face makeup and is also very moisturizing at the same time since it is a oil cleanser so basically I take a spatula and some of this product and just Massage that all over my skin.
It completely melts off all of my makeup and especially my waterproof mascaras and my regular eye makeup removers Can never completely take off all my waterproof mascara So I always use these cleansing balms to take my eye makeup off. Next up is the Klavuu pure pearlsation facial cleansing foam this is just one of your basic cleansing foams it has pearl extract in it So it's super luxurious on your skin And you only really need a pea-sized amount for your entire face because it lathers up so quickly and the foam is really really thick I like to use one of those silicone pads I got mine from Daiso I think can I just use that to massage that into my skin and deep clean into my pores Next up is the airborne black soap I would really recommend these bar type soaps to people who have super oily acne prone skin This contains charcoal extract which is known for extracting all of the sebum out of your pores and really cleaning deep into your skin So definitely check out one of these bar type soaps. I know that a lot of my viewers Are in middle school or high school and the oil production can be really really annoying sometimes the next product is the Hun skin real Complexion hyaluron skin essence this essence. I use as both a toner and in essence so first I'll just put some of this on a cotton pad and just wipe away my entire face to get rid of any traces of any Leftover makeup and then I'll just put some of this onto my hands and layer that on three to four times kind of like this 7 skin method personally the 7 skin method is a little bit too much for me, and I'm kind of lazy So I only layer like 3 to 4 times which is perfectly fine And if you're looking for a product to you For the seven skip method you definitely want to look into products that don't have any alcohol content because that can potentially dry out your Skin and really strip it from all moisture this one is alcohol-free And it also has hyaluronic acid in it which is a super super moisturizing ingredient And it's said to moisturize a thousand times better than regular ingredients next I have the cosrx X Triple C lightening liquid This is the special collaboration product that co-star axe had with so clam and I really wanted to try this Product when it first came out because it has 20.5% Vitamin C as you guys know vitamin C.
Is really good for controlling your hyperpigmentation and lightening acne scars and when I was in Middle School I would be able to just pop my pimples and my skin would just like heal the next day And I never had any acne scars, but now that I'm in high school acne scarring is actually so bad And I'm really not used to having all these acne scars all over my skin I'll just drop like one or two drops on And I'll just put that into my skin and hopefully my discoloration will go away And I'll keep you guys updated on this product next up is the Missh super aqua ultra waterful clear cream And this product is a completely oil-free water-based gel moisturizer so again I would recommend this for people who have very oily and acne prone skin It doesn't feel greasy at all on the skin especially for people who are very very oily you want to obviously stay away from Moisturizers that have too much natural oils in them this one is completely oil-free And it's a very light consistency that absorbs into your skin a very fast. For me I have normal to dry skin so I have to go in with another Klairs rich moist soothing cream this one has jojoba oil in it so it's very moisturizing And it also kind of just creates a barrier on my skin once I put it on since it has that natural oil Contained inside of it and for the last game care product. This is the Neogen nh2 dermadeca serum spray I never really use mists or sprays in general because I don't find a need for them It's kind of just an extra step If you really want something special But I've been using this right after I blow dry my hair and blow drying your hair can really dry out your skin and even Though I completed all of my skincare routine and stuff my face gets really red afterwards because of the hot air and this stuff is Super super cooling. I don't know what it is, but when you spray it on your face.
It feels super cold It's like ice water, and I really like that the nozzle dispenses the product very evenly. The mist is superfine and on to the second-to-last product This one is a hair care product a lot of you guys asked for a hair care routine, but honestly I don't really do much to my hair just shampoo condition blow-dry Sometimes straighten my hair And then I'll finish off with a hair oil this hair oil is from M British, and it's the annatto hair oil I was watching a video and Charlotte Chow said that she discovered this product side of a Korean salon that a lot of idols get their makeup in hair done from I can totally see why the salons use this says It's a very light consistency to makes your hair super silky and soft and especially if you have dyed hair the ends can get really Really brittle and dry sometime so I make sure that once in a while I'll put this on to my damp hair and after I finish styling my hair I'll just put some on once again on to the ends. And lastly I have the Etude house dear darling water gel Tints I mentioned in my compilation of the Korean lip tints video I had the old version of these which had these silver caps on instead of the pink caps. These are the reformulations of them and I can totally see a huge difference in the formula.
Old ones were very dry and this stain was very very harsh. The color payoff was good in the beginning but it would fade away very very quickly the new ones are so so much better, and it's a new gel and water formula These blend super nicely onto the lips. They are very very natural I'm wearing it on my lips right now and suprisingly for the water formula They're not drying on my lips whatsoever and I believe they're only $5 a piece so if you guys haven't checked them out, definitely do because they are completely different from the old formulas and that wraps up my review of the 2017 best of Korean beauty and onto the giveaway one lucky winner will win one of these products and to enter the giveaway number one You have to be subscribed to both me and soku glams YouTube channels number two follow us on instagram.

Top 10 Cosrx Products Best Korean Skincare Brand for Acne
Today, I have my top 10 favorite Cosrx product in front of me.
This was a highly requested video ever since I filmed my massive Cosrx haul and to be completely honest with you guys it was very difficult just to pick my top 10 so I'm probably going to reference other essences and serum so let's get started. First, we have the Low pH good morning Gel Cleanser. And this is one of my favorite cleansers because it's super gentle.
This is formulated with botanical ingredients. It helps your skin feel very soft and also helps clear it because it's a mild acidic cleanser I love this my brother loves this. It's very gentle and affordable. I think this is like less than ten dollars so highly want to recommend this cleanser.
Next, we have the cosrx one step pimple clear pads. If you watched a lot of my empties, this has been featured in almost every single one of them after I discovered them and i love them because it helps exfoliate and it removes the makeup that your cleanser didn't remove. A lot of guys say " then why do you use that cleanser?"
There are days when i'm lazy and I don't double cleanse. This pad right here and helps me remove that extra makeup and it exfoliates.
I love how soft my skin feels after using this and it's definitely one of my favorite toners out there.
I have another toner and this is the AHA/BHA Clarifying treatment toner and you can tell i am almost done using this my brother absolutely love this so actually he basically used up the majority of this product, but this is basically a product that help reduce the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, and blemishes. It cleans out your pores.
I love how gentle this product is.
There are other toners that I tried from Cosrx and I think they're great i just love how gentle cosrx products are in general, but this is my favorite out of all the other ones because it comes from spray and also I just saw better results with this Sorry, Eunice from Wishtrend came in and I wanted to say hi, but basically I love this product -- very gentle and if you have acne and acne scars i would recommend this toner for you.
Next, I have an essence and here we have the Advance Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence And there are so many essences that I've tried from cosrx and it was really hard for me to pick one because the essence from AHA is really good 95... I don't know how to say it, but that was really good BHA and blackhead ones are really good, but I chose this one because i saw fading of acne scars the day after I used this product so if you have acne scars and hyperpigmentation I. Really want to recommend this snail product this help moisturize your skin your skin will feel super smooth afterwards and it's just another product it's just another holy grail product of mine. After the essence, I like to follow up with a lotion and this is the oil-free ultra moisturizing lotion with birch sap and as the name says it is ultra moisturizing.
I love this product because I have dry skin, but people who have oily skin like my brother he fell in love this product because it's oil-free very gentle and moisturizing for this skin as well. So during the wintertime I like to use this and another moisturizer afterwards and this one is the advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream and again i love snail products because i have acne scars and snail products definitely helped fade that. And I am seriously almost done using this moisturizer. It's super moisturizing.
On the packaging it also says that it reduces the appearance of wrinkles definitely one of my favorite moisturizers. I plan on sharing my top 10 in the future this is definitely on that list. Definitely want to recommend it! On days I want extra moisture,
I follow up with a overnight mask. You can skip it and go straight to the mask but because i have dry skin, i like to use the lotion, a cream, and then like an hour later I really do this before I go to bed.
This is Rice Overnight Spa Mask and this might surprise you because you guys know that i love the honey one, but i have been using the rice one every single day and I must say I like it more than the honey one because it really brightened up the skin. The honey one helped with the acne scars and I. Feel like they're both great products but right now, i'm in love with the rice one. Next, we have my all-time favorite products from Cosrx and it is the Centella Blemish Cream.
My brother calls this the MVP cream and a lot of you guys comments that to it seriously just a great product if you have acne or acne scars this help fade it. It's one of my favorite treatment for acne along with pimple patches A lot of you guys ask me when you should be using this i use it after all of the products at the very end and my brother does it this way to and the next morning you'll notice that a lot of your pimples and acne scars will be faded and treated. So definitely a great product if I have to recommend like one product from cosrx it would be the Centella Blemish Cream. So next, we do have the Acne Pimple Master Patches.
And these stickers, I am amazed because they actually help with your cystic acne and after you put one of these stickers on
the next day you'll notice that that area will be calmed down and if you had a rising pimple or a zit
It actually takes out all that gunk. So I love these patches and this is actually like my fifteenth package because I go through these so quickly and my brother loves them too. Cosrx is another brand that is the only brand, the only Korean Skincare brand that my brother fell in love with so the a lot of products like this this... Are all approved by my brother as well.
Okay, finally we have Aloe Soothing Sun Cream This is one of my favorite products because it's a very moisturizing sunscreen. A lot of you guys ask me "do you like the Klairs one? Innisfree? Missha? Neogen? Kicho? All the sunscreens that I mentioned on my channel are really good and sunscreens in the past broke me out,
but the ones I mentioned on this channel didn't. It just depends on your preference if you want a moisturizing one, I would go with this. If you want something that kind of helps with the redness, the klairs one! If you want something watery, i would recommend the Missha or Neogen.
So it really depends on the preference but the Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream something is one of my favorites because it's a very light sunscreen it doesn't smell like a sunscreen it doesn't leave a white cast and that's what I look for in a sunscreen I want something that is very lightweight, but very protective when it comes to suncare. So these are my top 10 Cosrx products
these are my favorite I actually had a hard time picking ten because for essence, i really like the blackhead one, the BHA one, the A-Sol, honey overnight Mask, I love the aloe cream as well... There's just so many Cosrx products that i fell in love with, but these are my top 10. Cosrx is actually one of my favorite Korean Skincare because they're very gentle and really good for acne.
A lot of you guys ask me is ok if you're in high school or junior high
my cousins (who are young) with acne actually love cosrx because the products are very gentle and very helpful for their acne prone skin so highly want to recommend cosrx I'll be linking all the products in the description box

I'll try my best respond to you guys I'll see you guys in my next video.
This was a highly requested video ever since I filmed my massive Cosrx haul and to be completely honest with you guys it was very difficult just to pick my top 10 so I'm probably going to reference other essences and serum so let's get started. First, we have the Low pH good morning Gel Cleanser. And this is one of my favorite cleansers because it's super gentle.
This is formulated with botanical ingredients. It helps your skin feel very soft and also helps clear it because it's a mild acidic cleanser I love this my brother loves this. It's very gentle and affordable. I think this is like less than ten dollars so highly want to recommend this cleanser.
Next, we have the cosrx one step pimple clear pads. If you watched a lot of my empties, this has been featured in almost every single one of them after I discovered them and i love them because it helps exfoliate and it removes the makeup that your cleanser didn't remove. A lot of guys say " then why do you use that cleanser?"
There are days when i'm lazy and I don't double cleanse. This pad right here and helps me remove that extra makeup and it exfoliates.
I love how soft my skin feels after using this and it's definitely one of my favorite toners out there.
I have another toner and this is the AHA/BHA Clarifying treatment toner and you can tell i am almost done using this my brother absolutely love this so actually he basically used up the majority of this product, but this is basically a product that help reduce the appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, and blemishes. It cleans out your pores.
I love how gentle this product is.
There are other toners that I tried from Cosrx and I think they're great i just love how gentle cosrx products are in general, but this is my favorite out of all the other ones because it comes from spray and also I just saw better results with this Sorry, Eunice from Wishtrend came in and I wanted to say hi, but basically I love this product -- very gentle and if you have acne and acne scars i would recommend this toner for you.
Next, I have an essence and here we have the Advance Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence And there are so many essences that I've tried from cosrx and it was really hard for me to pick one because the essence from AHA is really good 95... I don't know how to say it, but that was really good BHA and blackhead ones are really good, but I chose this one because i saw fading of acne scars the day after I used this product so if you have acne scars and hyperpigmentation I. Really want to recommend this snail product this help moisturize your skin your skin will feel super smooth afterwards and it's just another product it's just another holy grail product of mine. After the essence, I like to follow up with a lotion and this is the oil-free ultra moisturizing lotion with birch sap and as the name says it is ultra moisturizing.
I love this product because I have dry skin, but people who have oily skin like my brother he fell in love this product because it's oil-free very gentle and moisturizing for this skin as well. So during the wintertime I like to use this and another moisturizer afterwards and this one is the advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream and again i love snail products because i have acne scars and snail products definitely helped fade that. And I am seriously almost done using this moisturizer. It's super moisturizing.
On the packaging it also says that it reduces the appearance of wrinkles definitely one of my favorite moisturizers. I plan on sharing my top 10 in the future this is definitely on that list. Definitely want to recommend it! On days I want extra moisture,
I follow up with a overnight mask. You can skip it and go straight to the mask but because i have dry skin, i like to use the lotion, a cream, and then like an hour later I really do this before I go to bed.
This is Rice Overnight Spa Mask and this might surprise you because you guys know that i love the honey one, but i have been using the rice one every single day and I must say I like it more than the honey one because it really brightened up the skin. The honey one helped with the acne scars and I. Feel like they're both great products but right now, i'm in love with the rice one. Next, we have my all-time favorite products from Cosrx and it is the Centella Blemish Cream.
My brother calls this the MVP cream and a lot of you guys comments that to it seriously just a great product if you have acne or acne scars this help fade it. It's one of my favorite treatment for acne along with pimple patches A lot of you guys ask me when you should be using this i use it after all of the products at the very end and my brother does it this way to and the next morning you'll notice that a lot of your pimples and acne scars will be faded and treated. So definitely a great product if I have to recommend like one product from cosrx it would be the Centella Blemish Cream. So next, we do have the Acne Pimple Master Patches.
And these stickers, I am amazed because they actually help with your cystic acne and after you put one of these stickers on
the next day you'll notice that that area will be calmed down and if you had a rising pimple or a zit
It actually takes out all that gunk. So I love these patches and this is actually like my fifteenth package because I go through these so quickly and my brother loves them too. Cosrx is another brand that is the only brand, the only Korean Skincare brand that my brother fell in love with so the a lot of products like this this... Are all approved by my brother as well.
Okay, finally we have Aloe Soothing Sun Cream This is one of my favorite products because it's a very moisturizing sunscreen. A lot of you guys ask me "do you like the Klairs one? Innisfree? Missha? Neogen? Kicho? All the sunscreens that I mentioned on my channel are really good and sunscreens in the past broke me out,
but the ones I mentioned on this channel didn't. It just depends on your preference if you want a moisturizing one, I would go with this. If you want something that kind of helps with the redness, the klairs one! If you want something watery, i would recommend the Missha or Neogen.
So it really depends on the preference but the Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream something is one of my favorites because it's a very light sunscreen it doesn't smell like a sunscreen it doesn't leave a white cast and that's what I look for in a sunscreen I want something that is very lightweight, but very protective when it comes to suncare. So these are my top 10 Cosrx products
these are my favorite I actually had a hard time picking ten because for essence, i really like the blackhead one, the BHA one, the A-Sol, honey overnight Mask, I love the aloe cream as well... There's just so many Cosrx products that i fell in love with, but these are my top 10. Cosrx is actually one of my favorite Korean Skincare because they're very gentle and really good for acne.
A lot of you guys ask me is ok if you're in high school or junior high
my cousins (who are young) with acne actually love cosrx because the products are very gentle and very helpful for their acne prone skin so highly want to recommend cosrx I'll be linking all the products in the description box

The Ten Commandments of skin care! (aka, How to not ruin your skin)
Hello again, everyone. Today we're going to
talk about the ten commandments of skin care. And, just before I get started, this is not
any sort of religious commentary - I just thought this was a good vehicle to deliver
these tips to you. So, don't take it too seriously, but listen to the information and take from
it what you will.
So, the ten commandments of skin care. These are the hardcore rules
about how not to ruin your skin and how to keep it healthy and how not to damage it and
how to slow down the aging process and to just have awesome skin. Commandment number
one: thou shalt not touch your face. Now, obviously, I'm not talking about washing your
face and applying your products, I'm talking about picking at your skin, I'm talking about
scratching, I'm talking about self-extraction.
Any sort of extraneous touching of the face
is something you don't want to do. First of all, the temptation to pick at the irregular
surfaces and textures on your skin is totally normal; you feel something unusual and your
natural impulse is just to try and get it off or to mess with it. The problem here is
that you have a lot of dirt and bacteria under your nails and on your fingertips and when
you're scratching at the skin you can create little tiny wounds in the skin through which
the bacteria and dirt and oil and all of the gross stuff on your hands can enter. And if
you're picking at something like a blemish, you're just going to make the problem worse.
That's a very good way to give yourself a scar.
If you're picking at a little bump on
your skin or a little pimple, it might have healed perfectly fine on its own, but by you
picking at it and scratching at it and messing with it, you're making it that much harder
for your skin to heal itself. Now, a tip to help you stop touching your face. First of
all, keep your nails short. If you have long nails and you're scratching your face, this
should be a no brainer.
Keep your nails as short as possible and also keep them manicured
because when you put polish on the nails you kind of dull the edge, so you don't have this
sharp edge and it's much harder to actually scratch your skin with polished nails. So
that's a tip that I recommend everyone and that's actually something that helps me, because
I used to have this problem. I am a kind of compulsive person and I, you know, if I feel
a bump, I'm like gonna -- Aaah! I'm gonna freak out on it. I get it.
I totally understand.
But, don't do it. Commandment number two: thou shalt exfoliate gently. This is something
I see a lot of as well, people who use scrubs at home who are very overzealous with them
and push really hard when they're trying to exfoliate, will often get really tiny broken
capillaries all over their face. It's unfortunate because you're really not accomplishing that
much with a scrub to justify the amount of damage that you're doing.
Scrubs are not that
great at exfoliating, they're good at getting off like little flaky surface bits and that's
why you think that they're doing a really great job. And for younger people, that's
fine, you know, you can use a scrub to even out your skin texture and that's totally cool.
However, be very gentle about it. There's no benefit to really grinding a scrub into
your skin. You're just damaging your skin.
Scrubs, like I said, are not that effective,
so there's no benefit to going really really harsh with them. You can use a scrub with
a washcloth, with a clarisonic, with any kind of face brush, just do it very very gently.
And it's not really not good for your skin to exfoliate that aggressively, you're going
to be more prone to sun damage, dehydration which means more prone to skin infection and
it just doesn't look very good if you're constantly peeling, so I would recommend doing a low-strength
AHA, if you're going to use AHAs, use a low-strength, if you're using BHAs, use a low-strength,
start as low as you can and work up. You need to start low, otherwise your skin is going
to slough too fast and it's going to get irritated. And irritation is the enemy of skin, you want
to avoid irritation at all costs, that includes exfoliating.
So, if you over-exfoliate your
skin, it can get irritated, it can get hyperpigmentation, more sun damage, dehydration, premature wrinkling,
you can lose elasticity. Irritation is absolutely the worse thing for your skin so avoid it
at all costs. Now, word on retinol, use it in cycles, do not use retinol continuously.
I've seen some people who do this because they like the very dramatic results that retinols
can give and they end up with this very shiny, translucent, waxy-looking skin. And that's
not healthy.
Your skin may be smooth as a waxed baby's bottom, but I'm telling you,
it's not healthy. When your skin gets into this state, it's really like on the verge
of being extraordinarily irritated and any tiny thing can set it off. It may be irritated
like just up to the point where you're going to see an extreme reaction and then any tiny
little thing can set it off and you can get like horrible redness, rosacea-type acne,
like this sort of like cracking, awful appearance and it's painful. And I've seen this and I've
had it happen on small areas of my face before.
It's really really unpleasant and, given everything
I've just said about irritation, you want to avoid it at all costs. Number three: thou
shalt not wax while exfoliating. Basically, what this means is if you are applying like
and AHA or a BHA or a retinol or, most importantly, if you're using acutane, do not get waxed.
Acutane, you can't get waxed anywhere on your body, but if you're applying your AHA's to
your face, don't get waxed anywhere on your face. I've been using a 5% AHA and with my
skin texture I know for a fact that if I tried to wax, it would lift my epidermis.
This is
what people refer to as a "burn" when they get waxed and it's not a burn, that's not
at all what it is, what it is is your epidermis lifting off. And that sounds super scary and
it kind of is, but when you think about the anatomy of the skin, it makes perfect sense.
The epidermis is like a dry layer of hard keratin cells that are stacked in like a brick
wall type formation, and when it's not prepared properly or when it's in a sort of "loose"
state, if you will, from exfoliation, the whole thing can lift right off. You can lift
off the epidermis and expose the new skin below which is very sensitive and it will
basically scab over and can create scars. So, don't do it.
As a professional, I always
ask every single client every single time: "Are you using any exfoliating products, Retin-A,
any type of retinols, Acutane?" I ask them this everytime, not just the first time, I
ask everytime. Because not everybody knows to say: "Oh yeah, by the way, I've just added
this new glycolic." And it's not everything, like a glycolic face wash is not the same
as a glycolic leave-on treatment. But if you're using a topical exfoliating treatment regularly
or if you've just recently had a chemical peel or microdermabrasion or something like
dermaplaning, any sort of, you know, good exfoliation or if you're using a retinol -- retinols,
you've got to be very very careful, you can't use them anywhere near the application. So,
if you've applied retinol for two weeks, you've got to wait a month.
You've got to let more
cells turn over before you go in to get waxed. Also, if you are getting waxed on the same
day that you have a facial, do the waxing first. Your operator should know this, but,
just in case, you always want to do the waxing first, then do the facial. This does not really
apply to body waxing, unless you are applying a lot of exfoliants to your body or if you're
using Acutane.
If you use Acutane, and I don't recommend Acutane to anybody, but if you do
use Acutane, do not get waxed ever. Commandment number four: thou shalt not sleep in your
make-up. And, this is pretty self-explanatory, just don't do it. I usually will allow myself
to pass out without washing my face once a year.
This has gotten even less as I've gotten
older, but back in the days when I used to, you know, go out partying, if I was so tired,
if it was so late and I just wanted to pass out, I would let myself do it once a year.
And I would always pay for it. My skin would be hell for a couple of days afterward, but
just don't do it unless you absolutely have to. And don't make excuses about it, don't,
you know, don't say, "Ah, but I'm so tired." It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter,
take five minutes, wash your face, remove your make-up and if you are so tired, so often
that this is a problem for you, that you are frequently sleeping in your make-up then you
need to look at your lifestyle and see what you can do to change your nightly routine,
to make a priority of removing your make-up so that your skin stays healthy. And it's
not just about removing your make-up, you need to wash your face.
You need to introduce
water into your face and then put on something to hold that water into your skin for it to
be healthy. Commandment number five: thou shalt not put dirty things on your face. This
applies to: make-up brushes, fingers, phones, make-up sponges, make-up, any sort of dirty
old make-up. If you have a compact with a sponge in it, that sponge is meant to be temporary,
that is not supposed to be a permanent tool for you to use indefinitely, until you use
another product.
That's a very good way to ruin your products and also ruin your skin.
You can buy replacement sponges for pretty much any type of compact at the drugstore,
at the beauty supply store, just swap them out, you know, five days at most, if you're
using it everyday during a work week, you know, even that, if you are really good about
swaping this stuff out, you can do it every other day, everyday. Every day is not necessary,
in my opinion, but every other day, if you are really really good at this stuff, otherwise,
try to do it at least once a week. For brushes, do a spot clean every time you use them, deep
clean them, you know, once a month or so and you'll be good. For phones, try not to ever
talk on your phone this way unless you absolutely have to.
Try to use a headset, try to use
alcohol as often as possible to clean the surface of your phone. They're introducing
all the bacteria from your hands and from whatever else they've been touching. Try as
much as you can to either use a speaker phone or to use a headset. Commandment number six:
thou shalt avoid fragrance.
And I've been talking about this a lot lately and for a
good reason. Fragrance is the enemy of skin. There is no benefit at all to using fragrance
other than to amuse you. And companies have been doing this for a very long time and it's
a very outdated concept.
There is no reason to have perfume in skin care or in make-up.
Some people like it, most people are like: "Oh and it has a smell, I don't mind it so
much" or "I hate the smell but I'll use it anyway." But companies still use this party
line of: "Well, women want perfume in their cosmetics." It's really not true, I don't
think they've actually asked anybody and they certainly haven't asked anybody who knows
better. A lot of women don't know how harmful it is to put this stuff on your face. This
goes back to the whole "Irritation is the worst possible thing for your skin." Fragrance
is the number one irritant in all products. There is nothing worse for your skin.
Except,
you know, maybe pouring alcohol on it. But as far as, like, daily use goes, fragrance
is the worst thing in all of your products. Forget parabens. Parabens have not been scientifically
proven to be harmful, and I will speak about this later.
But fragrance -- fragrance is
something that we absolutely know, one hundred percent, for a fact, is harmful to the skin.
So make that your priority. Make that the priority in your skin care. Eliminating products
with fragrance 'cause that's the worst thing. And also, just so you know, fragrant plant
oils, like lavender oil or eucalyptus or peppermint or, you know, any of those kinds of oils -- those
are fragrance too.
There is no benefit to putting these natural products in your face.
There's no -- there's no great reason to do it in nature. I don't think that our cavemen
ancestors were putting these types of things on their face. It's just not something that
happened. Just because it's natural doesn't mean that it belongs on your face.
Commandment
number seven: thou shalt not use tanning beds. Ever. Don't do it. Commandment eight: thou
shalt eat less sugar and drink less alcohol.
Now sugar has a very strong connection with
premature aging. This is something that's only really making its way into the mainstream
now. But sugar is connected to something called glycation. I'm not going to get too far into
what that is because it's going to be really long.
But just know that sugar leads to glycation,
glycation leads to the breakdown of the structures in your skin that keep it firm and taut and
young-looking. So, it's something you really want to cut down as much as possible. And
alcohol is a particularly vile form of sugar. It's also very dehydrating.
It's toxic to
the system, in addition to introducing sugars into your bloodstream. So, whenever possible,
try to reduce sugar from your diet. If you put two teaspoons of sugar in your coffee,
put one teaspoon in your coffee. Cut down a half a teaspoon.
Try using stevia. Stevia
is a natural sweetener. I don't recommend any artificial sweeteners for any reason,
ever. But stevia is a natural sweetener that is no calories and is a good substitute.
I
find it to be a little off-putting if you use a lot of it, so I mix it with just like
a tiny bit of agave syrup or something like that. You can use honey, if you tolerate honey.
But mixing it with a tiny bit, not a lot, of a natural sugar kind of cuts the odd taste
of it but for the most part you don't really taste the difference. If you're accustomed
to artificial sweeteners you're really not going to notice that much a difference if
you start using stevia except that stevia doesn't taste like chemicals. Now with alcohol
I'm not saying to stop drinking alcohol.
I. Like to drink alcohol. I can't right now so
I have to kind of live vicariously through other people's enjoyment of it. However, when
you go out, try having one drink instead of two.
If you're going to have two, drink a
big glass of water. Don't drink five. Don't have five drinks. Just don't do it.
There's
no reason to do it. Drink your drinks slowly. If people are pressuring you into drinking
more, just say: "Ah well, I can't, I'm driving." And if they try to give you crap about that,
then they're being assholes. If you don't drive just say: "Ah well I have an early day
tomorrow." You know, whatever.
Just, whatever. Give them some excuse. There's no reason why
you should be pressured into poisoning your body by your "friends" -- people who are trying
to get you drunk so that they don't feel alone. It's really just something that you have control
over.
Only you are in control of this. Another thing that you should avoid, for the sake
of your skin, is drinking and driving. Death is not very cute. It's not going to make your
skin look very good.
And nobody ever looks good in a mugshot. Commandment number nine:
thou shalt not smoke. Duh. Just don't do it.
Next to sun damage, smoking is absolutely
the worst thing that you can do for your skin, so find a way to quit. Make it a priority.
There's so many reasons to quit. And I'm a former smoker, I know how it goes. I was a,
you know, young rebellious club goer.
I totally get it. But you need to eventually say: "Ok,
this is stupid, there's no reason to be doing this. I'm just paying tons of money to a terrible
corporate machine, when I could be spending this money on good quality skin care." Or,
you know, save up for a vacation, use it for anything. But smoking is expensive, it's disgusting
and it's terrible terrible for your the skin.
Smoking actually destroys vitamin C which
is a natural antioxidant made by the skin that helps protect from sun damage. So, not
only is the smoking itself terrible for the skin, but it's also going to speed up the
sun damage that you're getting while you're probably outside smoking. And last, but not
least, we have commandment number ten: thou shalt take action. It is no one else's responsibility
but your own to take care of your skin, just like it's no one else's responsibility to
take care of your body.
You are in charge of your life. Even if you are a young person
with parents who are telling you what to do, you can still make decisions for yourself.
They're not watching you twenty-four hours a day. You have a say. So, start good habits
now.
Do research. Learn about ingredients. Start reading your labels. Make decisions
for yourself.
Don't be told what to do. Even as I'm telling you what to do now, question
me. Question my thought process, question my credentials, question everything. Make
decisions for yourself.
Learn everything you can. Take the time to learn about ingredients.
Don't just get your information from marketing machines. Really learn about ingredients -- individual
ingredients and what they do. And finally, please just don't believe everything that
you hear or read or see on youtube.
Nobody knows everything and a lot of the people who
are giving you advice or who are trying to share information - they're not getting it
from a good source. And a lot of times it's heard secondhand or it's heard from someone,
someone's friend of a friend's of their cousin who is a dermatologist or whatever. Or it's
like these e-mails which get forwarded which is how the whole paraben hysteria got started.
Just don't believe everything that you're exposed to because not everyone is getting
their information from a good source. A lot of these sources have sort of dubious intentions.
And you just really should familiarize yourself with skin care ingredients, with the climate
of the skin care industry and the cosmetic industry to be able to make informed decisions
for yourself.
If you get nothing else from my videos that I'm going to be making, that
I've been making lately it's that you really need to educate yourself, take responsibility
for yourself and your own skin. Be in charge. All I'm saying really is take in all the information
that you are getting and use your brain. Make up your own mind and make your own decisions.
So I hope you guys got something from that.
I really don't mean to be lecturing you so
harshly. I get passionate about this stuff. If you have any questions, let me know. And
if you have any questions for me to answer in a future video, please leave me a message
below or send me a message through the youtube messaging system.
They have made it damn near
impossible to do that so go to my channel page and underneath my channel description
there will be a little triangular box next to my username. That's how you send messages
now - it's such a pain in the ass. But if you want to ask me a direct question that's
the best way to do it because then I don't have the comment restriction -- I don't have
that character restriction to answer your questions. Thank you guys very much for watching.
If you like this, video please give me a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't and I will
see you again very soon.

any sort of religious commentary - I just thought this was a good vehicle to deliver

So, the ten commandments of skin care. These are the hardcore rules

little thing can set it off and you can get like horrible redness, rosacea-type acne,
like this sort of like cracking, awful appearance and it's painful. And I've seen this and I've
had it happen on small areas of my face before.
It's really really unpleasant and, given everything
I've just said about irritation, you want to avoid it at all costs. Number three: thou
shalt not wax while exfoliating. Basically, what this means is if you are applying like
and AHA or a BHA or a retinol or, most importantly, if you're using acutane, do not get waxed.
Acutane, you can't get waxed anywhere on your body, but if you're applying your AHA's to
your face, don't get waxed anywhere on your face. I've been using a 5% AHA and with my
skin texture I know for a fact that if I tried to wax, it would lift my epidermis.
This is
what people refer to as a "burn" when they get waxed and it's not a burn, that's not
at all what it is, what it is is your epidermis lifting off. And that sounds super scary and
it kind of is, but when you think about the anatomy of the skin, it makes perfect sense.
The epidermis is like a dry layer of hard keratin cells that are stacked in like a brick
wall type formation, and when it's not prepared properly or when it's in a sort of "loose"
state, if you will, from exfoliation, the whole thing can lift right off. You can lift
off the epidermis and expose the new skin below which is very sensitive and it will
basically scab over and can create scars. So, don't do it.
As a professional, I always
ask every single client every single time: "Are you using any exfoliating products, Retin-A,
any type of retinols, Acutane?" I ask them this everytime, not just the first time, I
ask everytime. Because not everybody knows to say: "Oh yeah, by the way, I've just added
this new glycolic." And it's not everything, like a glycolic face wash is not the same
as a glycolic leave-on treatment. But if you're using a topical exfoliating treatment regularly
or if you've just recently had a chemical peel or microdermabrasion or something like
dermaplaning, any sort of, you know, good exfoliation or if you're using a retinol -- retinols,
you've got to be very very careful, you can't use them anywhere near the application. So,
if you've applied retinol for two weeks, you've got to wait a month.
You've got to let more
cells turn over before you go in to get waxed. Also, if you are getting waxed on the same
day that you have a facial, do the waxing first. Your operator should know this, but,
just in case, you always want to do the waxing first, then do the facial. This does not really
apply to body waxing, unless you are applying a lot of exfoliants to your body or if you're
using Acutane.
If you use Acutane, and I don't recommend Acutane to anybody, but if you do
use Acutane, do not get waxed ever. Commandment number four: thou shalt not sleep in your
make-up. And, this is pretty self-explanatory, just don't do it. I usually will allow myself
to pass out without washing my face once a year.
This has gotten even less as I've gotten
older, but back in the days when I used to, you know, go out partying, if I was so tired,
if it was so late and I just wanted to pass out, I would let myself do it once a year.
And I would always pay for it. My skin would be hell for a couple of days afterward, but
just don't do it unless you absolutely have to. And don't make excuses about it, don't,
you know, don't say, "Ah, but I'm so tired." It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter,
take five minutes, wash your face, remove your make-up and if you are so tired, so often
that this is a problem for you, that you are frequently sleeping in your make-up then you
need to look at your lifestyle and see what you can do to change your nightly routine,
to make a priority of removing your make-up so that your skin stays healthy. And it's
not just about removing your make-up, you need to wash your face.
You need to introduce
water into your face and then put on something to hold that water into your skin for it to
be healthy. Commandment number five: thou shalt not put dirty things on your face. This
applies to: make-up brushes, fingers, phones, make-up sponges, make-up, any sort of dirty
old make-up. If you have a compact with a sponge in it, that sponge is meant to be temporary,
that is not supposed to be a permanent tool for you to use indefinitely, until you use
another product.
That's a very good way to ruin your products and also ruin your skin.
You can buy replacement sponges for pretty much any type of compact at the drugstore,
at the beauty supply store, just swap them out, you know, five days at most, if you're
using it everyday during a work week, you know, even that, if you are really good about
swaping this stuff out, you can do it every other day, everyday. Every day is not necessary,
in my opinion, but every other day, if you are really really good at this stuff, otherwise,
try to do it at least once a week. For brushes, do a spot clean every time you use them, deep
clean them, you know, once a month or so and you'll be good. For phones, try not to ever
talk on your phone this way unless you absolutely have to.
Try to use a headset, try to use
alcohol as often as possible to clean the surface of your phone. They're introducing
all the bacteria from your hands and from whatever else they've been touching. Try as
much as you can to either use a speaker phone or to use a headset. Commandment number six:
thou shalt avoid fragrance.
And I've been talking about this a lot lately and for a
good reason. Fragrance is the enemy of skin. There is no benefit at all to using fragrance
other than to amuse you. And companies have been doing this for a very long time and it's
a very outdated concept.
There is no reason to have perfume in skin care or in make-up.
Some people like it, most people are like: "Oh and it has a smell, I don't mind it so
much" or "I hate the smell but I'll use it anyway." But companies still use this party
line of: "Well, women want perfume in their cosmetics." It's really not true, I don't
think they've actually asked anybody and they certainly haven't asked anybody who knows
better. A lot of women don't know how harmful it is to put this stuff on your face. This
goes back to the whole "Irritation is the worst possible thing for your skin." Fragrance
is the number one irritant in all products. There is nothing worse for your skin.
Except,
you know, maybe pouring alcohol on it. But as far as, like, daily use goes, fragrance
is the worst thing in all of your products. Forget parabens. Parabens have not been scientifically
proven to be harmful, and I will speak about this later.
But fragrance -- fragrance is
something that we absolutely know, one hundred percent, for a fact, is harmful to the skin.
So make that your priority. Make that the priority in your skin care. Eliminating products
with fragrance 'cause that's the worst thing. And also, just so you know, fragrant plant
oils, like lavender oil or eucalyptus or peppermint or, you know, any of those kinds of oils -- those
are fragrance too.
There is no benefit to putting these natural products in your face.
There's no -- there's no great reason to do it in nature. I don't think that our cavemen
ancestors were putting these types of things on their face. It's just not something that
happened. Just because it's natural doesn't mean that it belongs on your face.
Commandment
number seven: thou shalt not use tanning beds. Ever. Don't do it. Commandment eight: thou
shalt eat less sugar and drink less alcohol.
Now sugar has a very strong connection with
premature aging. This is something that's only really making its way into the mainstream
now. But sugar is connected to something called glycation. I'm not going to get too far into
what that is because it's going to be really long.
But just know that sugar leads to glycation,
glycation leads to the breakdown of the structures in your skin that keep it firm and taut and
young-looking. So, it's something you really want to cut down as much as possible. And
alcohol is a particularly vile form of sugar. It's also very dehydrating.
It's toxic to
the system, in addition to introducing sugars into your bloodstream. So, whenever possible,
try to reduce sugar from your diet. If you put two teaspoons of sugar in your coffee,
put one teaspoon in your coffee. Cut down a half a teaspoon.
Try using stevia. Stevia
is a natural sweetener. I don't recommend any artificial sweeteners for any reason,
ever. But stevia is a natural sweetener that is no calories and is a good substitute.
I
find it to be a little off-putting if you use a lot of it, so I mix it with just like
a tiny bit of agave syrup or something like that. You can use honey, if you tolerate honey.
But mixing it with a tiny bit, not a lot, of a natural sugar kind of cuts the odd taste
of it but for the most part you don't really taste the difference. If you're accustomed
to artificial sweeteners you're really not going to notice that much a difference if
you start using stevia except that stevia doesn't taste like chemicals. Now with alcohol
I'm not saying to stop drinking alcohol.
I. Like to drink alcohol. I can't right now so
I have to kind of live vicariously through other people's enjoyment of it. However, when
you go out, try having one drink instead of two.
If you're going to have two, drink a
big glass of water. Don't drink five. Don't have five drinks. Just don't do it.
There's
no reason to do it. Drink your drinks slowly. If people are pressuring you into drinking
more, just say: "Ah well, I can't, I'm driving." And if they try to give you crap about that,
then they're being assholes. If you don't drive just say: "Ah well I have an early day
tomorrow." You know, whatever.
Just, whatever. Give them some excuse. There's no reason why
you should be pressured into poisoning your body by your "friends" -- people who are trying
to get you drunk so that they don't feel alone. It's really just something that you have control
over.
Only you are in control of this. Another thing that you should avoid, for the sake
of your skin, is drinking and driving. Death is not very cute. It's not going to make your
skin look very good.
And nobody ever looks good in a mugshot. Commandment number nine:
thou shalt not smoke. Duh. Just don't do it.
Next to sun damage, smoking is absolutely
the worst thing that you can do for your skin, so find a way to quit. Make it a priority.
There's so many reasons to quit. And I'm a former smoker, I know how it goes. I was a,
you know, young rebellious club goer.
I totally get it. But you need to eventually say: "Ok,
this is stupid, there's no reason to be doing this. I'm just paying tons of money to a terrible
corporate machine, when I could be spending this money on good quality skin care." Or,
you know, save up for a vacation, use it for anything. But smoking is expensive, it's disgusting
and it's terrible terrible for your the skin.
Smoking actually destroys vitamin C which
is a natural antioxidant made by the skin that helps protect from sun damage. So, not
only is the smoking itself terrible for the skin, but it's also going to speed up the
sun damage that you're getting while you're probably outside smoking. And last, but not
least, we have commandment number ten: thou shalt take action. It is no one else's responsibility
but your own to take care of your skin, just like it's no one else's responsibility to
take care of your body.
You are in charge of your life. Even if you are a young person
with parents who are telling you what to do, you can still make decisions for yourself.
They're not watching you twenty-four hours a day. You have a say. So, start good habits
now.
Do research. Learn about ingredients. Start reading your labels. Make decisions
for yourself.
Don't be told what to do. Even as I'm telling you what to do now, question
me. Question my thought process, question my credentials, question everything. Make
decisions for yourself.
Learn everything you can. Take the time to learn about ingredients.
Don't just get your information from marketing machines. Really learn about ingredients -- individual
ingredients and what they do. And finally, please just don't believe everything that
you hear or read or see on youtube.
Nobody knows everything and a lot of the people who
are giving you advice or who are trying to share information - they're not getting it
from a good source. And a lot of times it's heard secondhand or it's heard from someone,
someone's friend of a friend's of their cousin who is a dermatologist or whatever. Or it's
like these e-mails which get forwarded which is how the whole paraben hysteria got started.
Just don't believe everything that you're exposed to because not everyone is getting
their information from a good source. A lot of these sources have sort of dubious intentions.
And you just really should familiarize yourself with skin care ingredients, with the climate
of the skin care industry and the cosmetic industry to be able to make informed decisions
for yourself.
If you get nothing else from my videos that I'm going to be making, that
I've been making lately it's that you really need to educate yourself, take responsibility
for yourself and your own skin. Be in charge. All I'm saying really is take in all the information
that you are getting and use your brain. Make up your own mind and make your own decisions.
So I hope you guys got something from that.
I really don't mean to be lecturing you so
harshly. I get passionate about this stuff. If you have any questions, let me know. And
if you have any questions for me to answer in a future video, please leave me a message
below or send me a message through the youtube messaging system.
They have made it damn near
impossible to do that so go to my channel page and underneath my channel description
there will be a little triangular box next to my username. That's how you send messages
now - it's such a pain in the ass. But if you want to ask me a direct question that's
the best way to do it because then I don't have the comment restriction -- I don't have
that character restriction to answer your questions. Thank you guys very much for watching.
If you like this, video please give me a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't and I will
see you again very soon.
Bye..

Skin care products what I love that is that you can also buy a smaller travel size products Just in case you want to try it out first and see if you actually like before buying the full-size products So I actually just bought travel sizes for most of my products this item is a skincare product that I have been using for years This is the sana Na Maraca on Portia De queijo sweet this product has won so many awards, and this is actually one of the first Japanese skincare products I have used when I first came to Japan [it] feels amazing onto your skin, so it's actually quite thick in consistency It's very milky, but it just absorbs really quickly, and it is so moisturizing [it's] very gentle on your skin and [uses] soy milk Which is very effective on hyperpigmentation?

Teen Skincare Tips No One Tells YouDo's and Don'ts in Teenage Skincare Routine
Okay, you jump up to google and type in teen skincare advice if you'll come across a lot of advices saying that you should start Your skincare routine as early as possible and then some articles with even suggest you guys to jump on the anti-aging game ASAP and a lot of people would suggest a very extensive skincare routine and yes It's never too early to take proper care of your skin But that doesn't necessarily mean it has to do with investing in products Or you know going extravagant with facials and all that so today I just wanted to strip down and take you guys to the basics and share some teenage skincare tips Tip number one is to take a step back before you start anything or invest in any skincare products or learn about skincare products you Should learn about how our skin, and how our body works skin in our body is such a smart functioning system It knows how to regulate it knows how to rejuvenate and repair and restore everything by itself So it has something called seller turnover rate, which our skin naturally? Generates new skin cells and pushes all the dead skin cells to the surface of the skin And that's like our natural exfoliation process in teenagers your skin is already functioning at its best in a very Optimal condition and as your skin matures your skin naturally slows down in the process And that's why we need some help with some skin care products in easier terms that your skin is more like a memory foam so Even though you wake up with a really ugly pillow crease your skin is able to bounce back and kind of you know Resurface by its own in an hour the one major difference that I noticed Hitting my late 20s and nearing 30 almost is that my pillow crease doesn't go away for several hours You have a scar if you have a wound your skin is able to regenerate and heal That wound so much faster than mature skin. That's why your skin probably doesn't need that much help from skin care products a lot of you guys ask what my Skincare routine looked like in my teenage years. I gotta say I didn't really have any skincare tip to be honest I wash my face with water and sometimes use my mom's cleansing foam But I didn't have my own skincare routine and that's because I didn't wear makeup until I hit 20 years old I think I didn't really felt the need to instead any kind of skin Issues or skin conditions that is caused by wearing a lot of makeup and skincare was something. That's luxury It wasn't accessible.
It was an affordable the only beauty outlet that we could go was a department store until Misha shifted the entire paradigm like they released three dollars makeup three dollar skin care products, so I think ever since Misha happened You're seeing what you're seeing right now It does have a very positive effect in making more options available in a much affordable price tag well However the trade-off is that I do think it's kind of promoting a lot of people a lot of younger aged people To use products that's probably unnecessary yet and nowadays I'm seeing a lot of teenagers having their own extensive very very structured skincare regime And it does sometimes worry me because I'm seeing more and more Acne patients clogged pores congested pores, and I've been thinking like what is happening to our teenagers nowadays I think a very good example is the ordinary the ordinary has a very extensive range of active ingredients in very high like maximum Concentration which means that it's a really good news for a lot of mature skin who's been using that specific active ingredients? But they want to use something in a more affordable price tag and that's what the ordinary is serving having it $5 price tag that's a necessarily mean that teenagers like you guys should be using it and Jump on board of course is going to give you a very skin Transformative result I mean for instance. There is a vitamin C. 30% And there is 80 a 30% you Probably don't need it another thing that I suggest you guys to do is to take a step back from taking too much advice you Might be already following me and a lot of other bloggers, and if you do take a look at their own skincare routine it's much tailored towards their age their skin condition under specific skin type and their own goal in using that skincare routine And they might be using a lot of active ingredients which can work in their favor and also there's really no skin care products That's going to outsmart your skin when your skin is already functioning at its best Okay, so give a little bit more credit to your skin Is a good time to learn more and find out about your skin type and the easiest way to find out about your skin type Is probably to determine by the post cleansing skin? Result or skin feeling Results so after you wash your skin with a pH balanced cleanser and alkaline cleanser is only going to damage your skin barrier And it's going to give every skin type of drying sensation afterwards so anyways moving back you want to leave your skin without applying Anything on top for about 5 to 10 minutes Another credible source that I found online is dr. Bauman 16 different skin types and I'll leave all the online sources down below But she basically has 16 different skin types depending on the dryness and oiliness and the Resiliency of your skin barrier now if you do have more room to spend and if your parents are feeling generous visit a facial is aesthetician or a Dermatologist so you have a better understanding about your skin type and skin condition And what your skin issue is moving on to how to build and start a skincare routine? I have a full video on it, so you guys can definitely check that video out.
It's not going to be really different I will link it right here and also in the info box below In a nutshell all you need is to cleanse and moisturize and protect your skin by using a sunscreen Deliberately now the question is how do I choose the right product for teenage skin? I know there's so many different options out there in the market the problem is they almost sound freaking amazing It's supposed to do anti-aging that's supposed to combat acne it's supposed to do all the pore controlling and skin brightening distances and Dad now group them all together and ignore them for now now these targeted solutions are going to be effective when your skin needs it look for a product that claims to hydrate and moisturize well without any fancy ingredients look for product That's specifically designed for sensitive skin types so the good thing about finding a product that are specifically designed for sensitive skin Type is that they're oftentimes formulated without known irritants or allergies sensitizing ingredients or? Photosensitizing ingredients pretty minimal ingredients and on of that they're mostly very moisturizing and nourishing So I think this is the product claim that you probably want to look for when purchasing and shopping for skin care products Hydration is going to be the best ingredient for skin brightening Anti-aging acne fighting and poor controlling and sebum regulating and all that and I don't expect you guys to go through Individual skincare ingredients and once you start doing that a it can be super overwhelming B. There are so many confusing information out there that may or may not be necessarily true and see a lot of times these Controversy around the toxic ingredients out there it may be only toxic when you probably drink a gallon of it give a little bit more credit to the Cosmetic chemist so sit back and enjoy a little bit and giving that kind of self affirmation by touching your skin massaging your skin But do we need to invest in expensive products in teenagers that you probably don't need to Spend a lot of money at all like drugstore options. I grade their affordable Korean skin care products as well The only time that I would invest a skirt on some skin care products or they may we have to do with the active ingredient Formulation like how stable it is and how well it deposits And how well it goes and penetrates into your skin again? You probably don't need these kind of like super fancy Technology to hydrate your skin acne and teenage skin, yes, it's really really stressful But you have to acknowledge that it's coming from inside out your body is going through hormonal changes hormonal fluctuations So you might be better off seeking for a naturopathic doctor Holistic doctor or any professional who can guide you through and kind of help in bechler? Hormonal imbalance if you are already on acne treatment acne Medications you might want to stick with your dermatologist guide I know a lot of teenagers might start using benzoyl peroxide But you want to use it smartly a lot of people make a huge mistake by applying benzoyl peroxide wash benzoyl peroxide moisturizer all Over their skin even though their spots are only concentrated on their cheeks or on their jaw line on one specific area which is totally disrupting and weakening the skin barrier causing more inflammation causing more skin problems and Sensitivities and also if you're using benzoyl peroxide moisturize deliberately like really really well it can be counterproductive causing more breakouts if your skin barriers weakened I'll link a video about the skin barrier that I talked about down below as well as The acne basics down below as well and stress is going to raise this cortisol Level which is going to also damage or skin barrier, so stresses are another enemy that you don't want in your skincare routine I'm going to list down all the skincare Do's and don'ts on my Instagram at about Leah Hughes, so make sure you check that out I'm going to list out all the common mistakes that you might be making in Teenage years I sincerely hope this video helps some of you guys out there.

Take The Stress out of Skin Care
Our next guest says she's never lived in a big city before and now that she's here, she wants to look her very best. Hi doctors, my name is Stacey. I'm 44 years old and I'm single with no kids. I moved to Los Angeles from Alabama and it's the first big city I've ever lived in.
I absolutely love it and I would love to meet someone special to share this amazing city with me. I've gone on some dating sites, but I'm a little self conscious when I have to post my photo because, although I've never smoked, I have a few more lines and wrinkles than I would like on my face. I would love to improve my skin because it would give me more confidence and I would love some tips from my favorite show, so help me, docs! Because we believe in love and lovely skin, dermatologist, Doctor Sonya Batra, is here and together we're going to show Stacey and all women how they can look and feel great. So audience out there, do you think that we can get Stacey camera ready? Yeah! Yeah?
Well, I think we can too.
Doctor B, take it away. So Stacey, looking at you, you look great, but I do see the start of some of those lines and wrinkles you mentioned in the segment. You're starting also to notice a little bit of sagging and laxity and that happens to all of us as we hit our 40's. So tell me about your skincare routine.
I currently use four or five products on my face, but I can't really see a change and, honestly, using that many products can get a bit expensive. Yeah, and Stacey, it's not about how many products you use. What's really important is the science behind the products. If you use products that have really excellent science behind them you can set up a routine, you can have products that are proven to work and I actually have a great one in mind for you.
But first I want to talk to you because you mentioned that you're here from Alabama, you're looking for love. I know it can be stressful to find love in LA. Tell us about that. Yes, it most definitely is and maybe a little more so for me coming from somewhere where we basically knew everyone so it adds to the anxiety of an already kind of stressful situation for me.
Well, we're going to definitely talk about some of the things that might be affecting your skin as well. Well Stacey, you're already beautiful and you shouldn't worry because stress can lead to more lines and wrinkles and a great way to de-stress is to give yourself a facial massage. It's not bad to do a little self-help, it's quick, it's easy, and it feels really good. And it actually also really benefits your skin by increasing the blood flow, which plumps the skin, it helps drive out toxins out of the cells, you get more nutrients in that way.
This adds a lot of vitality to dull skin. The other thing I always like to recommend is chamomile tea because it can help you relax and when you're done you can take that teabag, put it in your refrigerator, leave it there for five or 10 minutes, and then you have a nice, chilled bag to put on your eyes to help de-puff and de-stress. And although you're on the dating sites, be sure to shut off all those electronics at least an hour before you go to bed, Stacey, so you can get your rest. A rested face looks rested.
A tired face looks tired. And a little tip, while you sleep, you can reduce those facial creases by sleeping with a nice, silky pillow, like this. How's that feel on your face? That feels awesome. You know what it does is decreases friction and skin compression and sleeping on your back also helps.
Your face doesn't wrinkle from the pressure at night while you're sleeping. I feel more relaxed already. (Laughter)
Well that's the idea. Okay, Doctor Batra, what else should Stacey do to get ready for that dating scene, here in LA, which we know can be a little challenging.
Well she really needs the right skincare product and she would benefit from using a serum that repairs the skin because as we age the lines and wrinkles definitely do become more obvious. Did you have something in mind? I'm here for the free advise. (Laughter) Take advantage of it! Absolutely, so I like this serum from Number Seven. It's called Protect and Perfect Intense Advance Serum because, like I mentioned earlier, it's actually backed by science.
It's clinically proven to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles in just four weeks and the results actually get better over time. You would apply it in the morning and at night after you cleanse and you can find this at Target for less than $30. Wow, that sounds amazing. I've been looking for something that doesn't cost a million bucks.
I can't wait to try it. Thank you, doctors. Well, you are very welcome, Stacey. And Doctor Batra, thanks so much for taking care of Stacey and putting her best face forward.
Alright all of you out there, how would you like some of the serum as well? (Audience applause) Stacey and everyone in the audience is going home with it today. Whoo! And we will be right back..
I absolutely love it and I would love to meet someone special to share this amazing city with me. I've gone on some dating sites, but I'm a little self conscious when I have to post my photo because, although I've never smoked, I have a few more lines and wrinkles than I would like on my face.

You would apply it in the morning and at night after you cleanse and you can find this at Target for less than $30. Wow, that sounds amazing. I've been looking for something that doesn't cost a million bucks.
I can't wait to try it. Thank you, doctors. Well, you are very welcome, Stacey. And Doctor Batra, thanks so much for taking care of Stacey and putting her best face forward.
Alright all of you out there, how would you like some of the serum as well? (Audience applause) Stacey and everyone in the audience is going home with it today. Whoo! And we will be right back..
SKINCARE ROUTINE 2017
Hey guys, it's Annika. Welcome to my "Chann-ika." First, I just want to say I'm super f-in sorry about the lighting. It looks like f-ing trash. Today I'm going to be doing a video that has been so requested recently.
I'm not quite sure why. Maybe people just want some clear skin for back to school. But, nevertheless, I totally understand your concern. I love seeing people's skin care routines, personally.
Especially now that I've been getting some problematic skin. But it's natural. It happens during puberty, during that time of the month. So, what I use to take off my makeup kind of varies.
But right now I'm using the Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Cleansing Micellar Water. This is cruelty free. You can buy it at Ulta. And I think it's like 8 dollars.
And I'm just using cotton squares. I sound like a beauty guru. So it's a pump kind of thing. So I'm just pumping it.
And I'll use one of these pads for my face, and another one for my eyes. Actually, probably like two for my face when I'm wearing a full face. So what's the haps with y'all? My life has been pretty uninteresting, tbh. Essentially, I use two different face washes when I'm washing my face, just because I like to make sure that it's extra clean.
And since I wear a lot of makeup, I just want to make sure that I have all the makeup off. But I use the Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator and I also use the "Fresh" Purity. I'll show it to you, but I'm just gonna go wash my face at the sink. I f-ing wash my face like any other normal-ass person with hot water and then cool water to .
. . Like, close my pores. I don't know.
I f-ing hate myself. I'm back. Let's just not talk about how thin this eyebrow is. I don't know why, but this eyebrow doesn't grow, so if I f-- it up, it doesn't grow back.
Love my life. I just found this. I thought that I'd f--ing lost it. It's 8 dollars at Nordstrom Rack.
I'm pretty sure the mini size is like 16 dollars at Sephora. And I'm pretty sure that philosophy isn't cruelty free. If it is, then, yeah. This is good.
Like, go for this. But if it isn't, it's really not that great. It's good. Like, it washes your face.
But it's really not that different from any other cleanser. It's so similar to the Fresh Soy Milk Cleanser, literally any other cleanser . . .
[Burp] And, I like to use an exfoliator every night, unfortunately, since I have really dry patches on my skin that I really need to exfoliate. And also just like sh--. If I'm not using the Vasanti BrightenUp! Cleanser, I like to use the Ocean Salt Face & Body Scrub by Lush. This doesn't test on animals, obviously.
And . . . "Not virgin"? Da f--? This just smells like .
. . Like . .
. Salt. But I just wanted to quickly talk about some face masks and pore strips and stuff. So I don't do pore strips too often.
My favorite pore strips are the . . . Where are they, though? The Bior Deep Cleansing Pore Strips.
This is a pack with fourteen, and it has seven face strips and seven nose strips. I love these. I only have one left. And then, as for my favorite face mask right now, this is the Muddy Body Detox Clay Mask.
This was sent to me, and I was honestly like . . . I didn't really expect to like it.
And I know that you guys are probably like, "Oh, it just got sent to her." But it's actually really good, and I feel like it really cleans out my skin, which is crazy. I haven't used it like three weeks, which is why my skin is killing me. It comes with a little applicator brush. So what you do is, you dump a little bit into a cup, and you put a little bit of water, and then you put it all over your face.
This is my absolute favorite face mask f-ing ever. So I'm taking the Muddy Body Detox Clay Mask -- it's not focusing, because it doesn't like me -- and I have a tiny amount of water. You really don't need that much. I'm going to avoid the under-eyes because I want to show you guys these really cool under-eye patches, but .
. . This brush is actually super nice, as well. I didn't think I was gonna like the brush, just because I never really like the brushes that come with anything.
Oh also, I forgot to mention -- probably a really important part -- if you want to get 10% off of your Muddy Body, any purchase, anything from Muddy Body, just use the code "ANNIKA." I think it's in all caps. Where are the eye masks at? While this is drying, I'm probably not going to be able to f-in laugh or do any of that sh--. But the eye masks that I have are the Karuna Skin Renewal Eye Masks. So they "target dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines." "Comes with four pairs of eye masks." "One month supply when used weekly." I have not tried these yet, but I've been looking for some good eye masks, because the thing is, whenever I wake up, I just look so gross.
And on the first day of school, I just want to make sure that I don't look too gross. Oooh, this is cool. Okay. So it's like a book, I guess.
Queen. I'm suicidal. Okay. So this is what they look like.
I really like the way these feel. And also, they fit your eye really nicely. I also like that you don't just get one pair, you get four pairs. So I appreciate that.
"Remove backing and relax for 10 to 20 minutes." Damn. I'm looking like a snack. Okay. I'm gonna take these off.
Oooh, that feels so good. And I'm gonna wipe this off just with normal f-ing water. I legit don't understand how I went from trash to snack. Like, number one: Look at my skin.
The pimples are still there, but they're very flattened. And my skin is way softer. Karuna also sent me their Face f-ing bullsh-- . .
. Face Masks. So I feel like these are gonna be so good. These are for combination skin.
So I'm excited, because I have normal combination skin. Uh, hollow skin care routine. Alrighty. Now what do I do? I have such a detailed skincare routine.
It's really weird. I'm gonna take the Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Emergency Spot Fix. I like this for pimples that are . .
. Pimple-y. And then, for moisturizer, I'm going to be using the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer. I currently don't have a moisturizer.
I got this in my Ipsy bag a while ago, so I'm just using this. But . . .
If you guys have any good drugstore or "cheaper" cruelty-free moisturizers, please let me know in the comments. So many questions for y'all. But you can just use whatever moisturizer you want to use. This moisturizer isn't specifically wonderful.
Like, it's good. It's a really good moisturizer. But I feel like all moisturizers kind of do the same thing, so . .
. I'm going to take the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. You get 1.7 Fluid ounces of product in here. And this is the mini size.
I've literally had this for like a year and a half, and I have not run out. And this is only like 14 bucks for all of that product. Like, it's worth it. Basically like another moisturizer, but it's a mask, so it gives you the treatment that a mask does, but you don't need to wash it off in the morning.
When he nuts. Lol. What the f-- am I talking about? Last but not least, --- yes, the video is finally almost over -- I'm gonna take the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion, and I'm going to put this on my pimples. Don't shake this sh--.
You can get it at Ulta, and you can also get it at Urban Outfitters. But essentially, it's like a weird f-ing liquid, and then some powder at the bottom. And you just want to go down to the powder, put that on your pimples. What does this smell like? It's almost minty, but not really.
If anybody knows how to describe the scent of this, please let me know. And this sh-- . . .
Actually, the Dermalogica sh-- works so well. I'm not even kidding. And this sh-- works so well, too. I'm just using both of them because I want these pimples f--ing gone.
But, yeah. I hope that you guys enjoyed this little skincare routine. This is super duper requested. And I'm sorry that's not a makeup video, but hopefully it helps some of you guys.
And maybe you learned about some new products that you were really interested in. Like, if you're looking for a new moisturizer. Whatever. My .
. . I feel like the highlights of this video, like, the things that you need to get are that Muddy Body mask. That will change your f--ing life.
I'm also a huge fan of those Karuna Renewal Eye Masks. And I really like the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. I just feel like those are really nice things to have in your collection. So, yeah.
Thank you guys so much for watching. Please comment, rate, subscribe, and keep on skin caring..
