WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.859 I feel like skincare is an important piece of 00:00:03.859 --> 00:00:07.459 just self -care and self -love. It can become, 00:00:07.459 --> 00:00:09.580 like I said, like a ritual and I think that that's 00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:10.900 good because you're just, you're taking care 00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:20.530 of yourself. Welcome back to Keep It Good. I'm 00:00:20.530 --> 00:00:22.989 your host, Emily. I'm your host, Carly. I'm very 00:00:22.989 --> 00:00:25.730 excited about this episode today because I'm 00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:28.809 gonna be learning all things skin care. I'm gonna 00:00:28.809 --> 00:00:31.510 learn because my friend here, Emily, is all things 00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:35.469 beauty and I am all things not. I have not learned 00:00:35.469 --> 00:00:38.929 properly growing up the importance of skin care. 00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:42.250 When did you start? Well, I think I really truly 00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:46.009 started once I graduated high school and was 00:00:46.009 --> 00:00:49.759 in cosmetology school because... I knew what 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.140 to do, how to clean my face, I guess, but I was 00:00:53.140 --> 00:00:57.500 working at a salon and a spa at the time. And 00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.579 everybody really took me under their wing. And 00:01:00.579 --> 00:01:02.560 especially the girls in the spa, they were like, 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.979 you know, okay, you need to use this and start 00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:06.159 cleansing with this and you need this serum and 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.200 I'm 17. So it was just a huge awakening and I 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.340 wasn't using anything crazy. It was just, you 00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:15.219 know, properly how to remove your makeup and 00:01:15.219 --> 00:01:17.219 what to use like for sunscreen and stuff like 00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:20.540 that. So I feel like I started kind of early. 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.859 Now kids are starting. Like my daughter has, 00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:27.879 you know, we buy this very healthy, very clean 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.840 skincare for them. They're just so interested 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.299 in beauty. It's just things have come such a 00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:35.280 long, a long way. You know, I used to use a bar 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.290 of soap if I washed my face at all. Yeah, I mean, 00:01:39.290 --> 00:01:42.109 growing up, we used everything all natural. My 00:01:42.109 --> 00:01:45.069 dad was a carpenter and we had this construction 00:01:45.069 --> 00:01:47.329 bucket in our bathroom filled with this powder. 00:01:47.510 --> 00:01:49.870 I don't even know what it was, but we would mix 00:01:49.870 --> 00:01:52.849 it and it would turn into a mud paste. And that's 00:01:52.849 --> 00:01:56.689 what we use. And same thing with like toothpaste. 00:01:56.730 --> 00:02:00.450 We use baking soda. So I was never really introduced 00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:02.909 to any type of tricks or, you know, anything 00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.689 really. And now that I'm turning 40, I feel like 00:02:05.689 --> 00:02:09.250 it's time to learn. I am your student today. 00:02:09.930 --> 00:02:13.810 I mean, I remember my mom taking me to the pharmacy. 00:02:14.009 --> 00:02:16.250 I was probably a sophomore in high school and 00:02:16.250 --> 00:02:18.090 was like, all right, let's get you some good, 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:20.349 some good stuff and some nice, nicer makeup than 00:02:20.349 --> 00:02:22.629 what you're using. And I thought that was just 00:02:22.629 --> 00:02:25.370 amazing. I was so excited for it, but that's 00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:27.710 also why I do what I do. I'm in the beauty industry 00:02:27.710 --> 00:02:30.550 and that's just what I love. I'm not an aesthetician, 00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:34.180 but I would say skin. Care is my second love 00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:36.740 next to hair care. Yeah. Well, your skin looks 00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:40.319 great. So you're doing it right. I've just always 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.580 been more of, like I said, we, we grew up very 00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:46.620 natural. So I feel like, I don't know, I'm kind 00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:50.139 of a minimalist and I've been making my own kind 00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:55.080 of skincare stuff with castor oil. And I know 00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.699 I say it wrong. Uh, jojoba instead of jojoba 00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:06.280 oil. I put in some frankincense because it all 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.520 has like really powerful natural healing abilities 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.659 just in that itself. So that's my little concoction 00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:17.000 that I use and I've been kind of dabbling in 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.379 the snail mucin, which one of my good friends 00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:24.219 told me about that and I was like, interesting. 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.990 Like it was, it just. the thought of what it's 00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:31.169 from, I was like, well, that is very cool. Cause 00:03:31.169 --> 00:03:33.530 it's not all these ingredients, not all these 00:03:33.530 --> 00:03:37.729 like acids put in. So I started using that as 00:03:37.729 --> 00:03:42.569 well. And yeah, that's really good. Yeah. And 00:03:42.569 --> 00:03:46.210 just like a few months ago, my husband accidentally 00:03:46.210 --> 00:03:50.210 ordered this like Thayer's toner, witch hazel. 00:03:50.229 --> 00:03:52.250 And because we had it in the house, I've been 00:03:52.250 --> 00:03:54.449 using that, which I do love. That's like a new 00:03:54.449 --> 00:03:56.310 level. I'm actually using that right now too, 00:03:56.310 --> 00:03:59.569 as my toner. So, yeah, tell me all the things, 00:03:59.689 --> 00:04:03.250 Emily, because I am, if it's not broke, I'm not 00:04:03.250 --> 00:04:04.810 gonna fix it, but I feel like I'm gonna start 00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:09.030 breaking soon, so. Well, there is like, and it 00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:11.330 comes down to this, you could do a gazillion 00:04:11.330 --> 00:04:13.469 things for your skin, and it's just like, what 00:04:13.469 --> 00:04:16.050 is your level of wanting to take care of it, 00:04:16.050 --> 00:04:17.870 or how much can you actually get done? Because 00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:20.110 if you're really gonna go ham on this, it's a 00:04:20.110 --> 00:04:22.730 routine, you have to do a lot of things. So it 00:04:22.730 --> 00:04:26.009 depends on what you want to spend your time on, 00:04:26.089 --> 00:04:29.689 you know? I mean, basically, cleansing your skin 00:04:29.689 --> 00:04:32.089 for morning and night is ideal, even if you could 00:04:32.089 --> 00:04:34.209 just do that and moisturize. I think you're ahead 00:04:34.209 --> 00:04:36.370 of the game for some people, because I'm sure 00:04:36.370 --> 00:04:37.949 there's people who don't even do that, or they 00:04:37.949 --> 00:04:39.430 only do it once a day, which is totally fine, 00:04:39.569 --> 00:04:42.069 too. But your skin is your biggest organ, so 00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:43.870 you really want to take care of it. And that 00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:46.910 includes, you know, moisturizing your body, exfoliating 00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:50.329 it in the shower, you know, sloughing off that 00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:53.029 dead skin, too. It's not just your face. For 00:04:53.029 --> 00:04:54.970 women, you know, there was all this talk back 00:04:54.970 --> 00:04:57.610 in the 50s and all that. you know, your face 00:04:57.610 --> 00:05:00.649 and your décolleté and your neck too. Like, don't 00:05:00.649 --> 00:05:04.350 just let the cleansing of your face and the taking 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:07.870 care just be, you know, your actual face. It 00:05:07.870 --> 00:05:10.490 should go down your neck onto your chest too. 00:05:10.910 --> 00:05:12.670 But in my opinion, it really should kind of be 00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:14.870 everywhere because, you know, I mean, don't get 00:05:14.870 --> 00:05:16.829 me wrong. Are my legs dry in the winter? Yeah. 00:05:17.569 --> 00:05:18.970 My moist dries every day when I get out of the 00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:22.269 shower. Not necessarily, but it really is our 00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:24.589 biggest organ, like I said. So we should be moisturizing 00:05:24.589 --> 00:05:28.720 and taking good care of it. But skincare wise, 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.339 I would say, you know, basic rule of thumb, like 00:05:32.339 --> 00:05:33.600 morning and night routine. Do you want me to 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.420 kind of explain that? Yeah. Yeah. Because I have 00:05:38.420 --> 00:05:40.139 a million questions. So let's see if you covered 00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:42.540 them and then I'll dive into what I need to know. 00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:45.120 Love it. All right. So we'll start with the morning. 00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:47.699 We're going to cleanse first. If you don't take 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:49.740 a morning shower, just obviously at the sink. 00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:52.959 If my face is clean from the night before and 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.449 I haven't gone to bed with makeup on or anything. 00:05:55.569 --> 00:05:57.649 I suggest something more hydrating because you 00:05:57.649 --> 00:06:00.209 don't have to remove anything off your face. 00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:02.430 It's already clean. If you do have oily skin, 00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:04.529 then you could use cleanser that is good for 00:06:04.529 --> 00:06:06.949 combination or oily skin also. But you're going 00:06:06.949 --> 00:06:10.410 to cleanse first. Then we're going to tone or 00:06:10.410 --> 00:06:13.490 use an essence is another word. Essence is typically 00:06:13.490 --> 00:06:17.509 more moisturizing. A toner like the witch hazel 00:06:17.509 --> 00:06:20.529 would basically your pores are open when you're 00:06:20.529 --> 00:06:24.399 cleansing. And so you want to tone to kind of, 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:26.660 I don't want to say close them, but kind of. 00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:28.399 You don't want everything to be open so that 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.759 when you're putting in all these serums, yes, 00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.639 you want them to go into your skin, but you don't 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.620 want to cause clogging of the pores. So we're 00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.379 like, we're balancing the pH when we tone. So 00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:39.120 you're going to cleanse, you're going to tone, 00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:42.180 then we're going to start with serums. So typically 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:44.740 for daytime, you would want to use something 00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:47.779 like vitamin C or a C serum, they're called, 00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:51.170 that is very hydrating for the skin. You're going 00:06:51.170 --> 00:06:54.410 to want to do all your serums first. Think thin 00:06:54.410 --> 00:06:58.550 things to thick things. Why? So serums first 00:06:58.550 --> 00:07:00.870 because they're thin and yes you can layer them. 00:07:01.209 --> 00:07:03.329 I would give a little bit of time for it to dry 00:07:03.329 --> 00:07:05.850 though. I want it like throw on this serum your 00:07:05.850 --> 00:07:07.730 face is still wet throw on another serum your 00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:09.350 face is still wet throw on your moisturizer give 00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:12.350 it a second. So maybe that looks like putting 00:07:12.350 --> 00:07:16.439 on vitamin c and then brushing your teeth. Then 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.680 put on your next serum and just wait in a second. 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.860 Sometimes I'll even just fan my face. But a C 00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:23.120 serum would be great. Then after your serums, 00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:26.660 eye cream. And with eye cream, you don't want 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:30.079 to rub around the eyes. The skin around your 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.980 eyes is super sensitive and much thinner than 00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:35.759 the rest of your skin on your face. So they also 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.779 say your ring fingers. So you're going to actually 00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:42.019 dab the lotion on around your eyes with your 00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:43.279 ring finger because your ring finger doesn't 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.509 really do much. So they say it's a very gentle 00:07:45.509 --> 00:07:47.769 finger, so you're not pulling on your skin at 00:07:47.769 --> 00:07:50.709 all. So that's something I always do too. Okay? 00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:53.290 Ring fingers. Then we're going to moisturize. 00:07:53.370 --> 00:07:55.949 Because if we put on our moisturizer first, the 00:07:55.949 --> 00:07:59.490 moisturizers typically are heavy. So if that 00:07:59.490 --> 00:08:02.689 is already around your eyes, the eye cream can't 00:08:02.689 --> 00:08:07.589 sink it. Okay? So cleanse, tone, serums, eye 00:08:07.589 --> 00:08:11.680 cream, then your moisturizer. And I also suggest 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.079 bringing that onto your neck and your chest, 00:08:14.139 --> 00:08:17.139 okay? Last step for the day, I know there's some 00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:19.740 talk about sunscreen, but you're gonna put sunscreen 00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:23.399 on. See, my makeup has, I've been using the same 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.000 makeup since like high school. It's just worked 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.600 and I'm afraid to use anything else, but mine 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.480 does have SPF 30 or something in it already. 00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:35.259 So do I need to add more or is that good enough? 00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:38.240 No, I would say that's fine. Again, I'm not a 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.889 doctor. They might tell you different, but in 00:08:40.889 --> 00:08:44.389 my opinion, no. A lot of tinted moisturizers 00:08:44.389 --> 00:08:48.049 also have SPFs in them now, so that I think is 00:08:48.049 --> 00:08:50.330 sufficient. So that would basically be the morning, 00:08:50.409 --> 00:08:53.169 if you were to do all the things. If you're kind 00:08:53.169 --> 00:08:56.850 of like a basic gal, I would say cleanse, tone, 00:08:57.029 --> 00:09:00.769 and moisturizer. You don't want to do the serums, 00:09:00.870 --> 00:09:01.970 you don't want to do the eye cream, that's fine, 00:09:02.009 --> 00:09:04.570 but at least you're kind of getting any of the 00:09:04.570 --> 00:09:08.720 debris off from... whatever you had on the night 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:13.399 before. So night time, first things first, you 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:19.200 can use a micellar water or sometimes certain 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.580 brands have like makeup removing balm, which 00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:24.419 is kind of oily based. And so you could put that 00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:26.500 on first and really kind of scrub all that makeup 00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:28.019 off. It's really light. It literally is like 00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:30.860 an oil. The micellar water would help remove 00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:33.480 makeup or like any debris. So again, this is 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.379 for like an intense. Like time, there can be 00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.120 a lot of steps, but you're going to cleanse again. 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.480 I like to use a stronger cleanser at night so 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.659 I can remove the makeup that I've had on from 00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:48.019 the day. Then if you were to do a mask, that's 00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:50.299 when you're going to mask. So the construction 00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:53.620 bucket of powder. That probably was a mask, like 00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:56.399 a mud mask of sorts. I have to ask my dad what 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.460 the mystery powder was because I swear I lucked 00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:01.899 out. I did not have any acne. Which is probably 00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:04.399 what led me to this belief that like, I don't 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.500 need to do much to my skin, you know, because... 00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:08.299 Well, and I think there's that too. It's whatever 00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:12.919 works for you. Like, I used a bar of Dove soap 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.720 in high school. You know, that was pretty much 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.700 it. Maybe some moisturizer some days, but I mean, 00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:21.860 luckily I didn't have any skin problems either, 00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:25.200 but... So, why you're gonna do the mask after 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.899 you cleanse is because same thing with the mask, 00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:32.490 after we remove it... We want to bring the pH 00:10:32.490 --> 00:10:35.169 to the skin back to normal. So we're going to 00:10:35.169 --> 00:10:37.549 tone after the mask. You don't want to wash your 00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:42.409 face, tone it, and then put a mask. Oh, OK. Does 00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:44.610 that make sense? Think about the mask as like 00:10:44.610 --> 00:10:47.309 also cleansing or hydrating. We want to kind 00:10:47.309 --> 00:10:49.950 of seal that in. So cleanse. If you're going 00:10:49.950 --> 00:10:51.549 to mask, that's when you're going to do it. Then 00:10:51.549 --> 00:10:53.789 you're going to tone again. Some toners are just 00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:58.250 like essence, the hydrating toners, if you will. 00:10:58.590 --> 00:11:00.850 That's more like pour some in your hand, it's 00:11:00.850 --> 00:11:02.629 a liquid, and you're going to kind of press it 00:11:02.629 --> 00:11:05.230 into the skin, where the witch hazel that you're 00:11:05.230 --> 00:11:07.330 using is something, it is also liquid, but it's 00:11:07.330 --> 00:11:09.389 going to go on a pad, and you're going to kind 00:11:09.389 --> 00:11:12.809 of rub that on. Then we're going to do the serums. 00:11:12.909 --> 00:11:15.389 So we're back to the same kind of method, thin 00:11:15.389 --> 00:11:17.070 to thick, whatever serums you're going to use 00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:20.210 at night, whether it's hyaluronic acid, which 00:11:20.210 --> 00:11:25.009 is a B5. It helps with plumping, hydration, makes 00:11:25.009 --> 00:11:27.549 your skin look dewy. Do you want to get into, 00:11:27.549 --> 00:11:29.909 like, tretinoin and things that dermatologists 00:11:29.909 --> 00:11:34.830 suggest, too? Yeah, tell me all the things. So 00:11:34.830 --> 00:11:37.870 last year, my dermatologist actually prescribed 00:11:37.870 --> 00:11:40.129 this for me. You know, you're in your late 30s. 00:11:40.190 --> 00:11:42.289 This is something you should be thinking about. 00:11:43.490 --> 00:11:47.549 Basically, a retinoid. So it can be drying. Basically, 00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:49.809 it's the first layer, like, that superficial 00:11:49.809 --> 00:11:53.850 skin that gets kind of slothed off. You can peel 00:11:53.850 --> 00:11:56.039 from it. You have to work your way up to it. 00:11:56.100 --> 00:11:58.960 It's not something you can use every day. Honestly, 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.620 I would suggest using it like once a week for 00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:04.659 a little bit or twice a week to start. And basically 00:12:04.659 --> 00:12:06.419 they say like you can get up to using it every 00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:08.720 day or every other day, but it can be really 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.360 dry, which I found it was on my skin. So I go 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.940 through these times where I don't even use it 00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:16.419 at all, but it does help with skin turnover, 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.580 cell turnover, and just gives kind of a fresh 00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:21.799 appearance to the skin because that outer layer 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.200 is getting kind of removed. very very thin but 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.220 it does get removed. So a trick with the tretinoin 00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:31.879 is you can moisturize first or mix the tretinoin 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.860 with a little bit of moisturizer so it's not 00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:38.039 as harsh. Oh okay so you're kind of like diluting 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.580 it um where people moisturize put the tretinoin 00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:45.159 on and then moisturize again. So cleanse mask 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.399 if you're gonna tone serums and then the eye 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.009 cream moisturizer And that's it. All right, that 00:12:51.009 --> 00:12:54.450 doesn't seem too daunting. No, it's just depending 00:12:54.450 --> 00:12:57.350 on what you're doing each day. So if it's a day 00:12:57.350 --> 00:13:01.190 I'm using the tretinoin, I'm maybe using a heavier 00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:03.590 moisturizer at night, like a castor oil. I love 00:13:03.590 --> 00:13:05.450 castor oil. I love the castor oil at night, but 00:13:05.450 --> 00:13:07.450 I don't also do that every night as my moisturizer. 00:13:07.769 --> 00:13:10.610 Sometimes I'm just using a basic moisturizer 00:13:10.610 --> 00:13:14.690 or night cream. Sometimes I'm using a beef tallow. 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.720 Moisturizer again mainly at night just because 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.480 it's thicker and it's a little bit greasy So 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.240 I don't really want that under my makeup, but 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.580 if I'm not wearing makeup for the day Then I 00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:27.019 will use that also as my moisturizer for the 00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:28.799 day because I love it I mean the one I'm using 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.120 I love but it doesn't smell maybe the best. It's 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.720 a little beefy Like I'm happy you can't smell 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:38.539 me right now. I would say you kind of smell like 00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:42.320 a burger. Yeah, I'm just kidding. But I do love 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.519 it. And it's so smooth. It feels so good on your 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.299 skin. And I have a little bit of psoriasis on 00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:51.080 my eyelids, actually, which pops up here and 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.659 there. And it is so good for moisturizing both 00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:59.179 the tallow and the castor oil. Feels so good. 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.090 I'm going to try the beef tallow. Cause again, 00:14:02.289 --> 00:14:03.990 it just intrigues me when it's like natural. 00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:06.809 I've been kind of making my own little botanical, 00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:09.929 like medicinal garden, not like weed or anything. 00:14:10.210 --> 00:14:13.649 It's like echinacea and all these things. Uh, 00:14:13.710 --> 00:14:16.450 so I've been really interested in like making 00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:19.669 tinctures. And like I said, I started last year 00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:22.789 doing my own moisturizer with the frankincense. 00:14:22.889 --> 00:14:25.909 Like I was reading up, cause I use that a lot 00:14:25.909 --> 00:14:28.470 for just essential oils, right? I'll burn it 00:14:28.470 --> 00:14:32.779 or whatever, but. The frankincense is so healing. 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.360 It helps with wrinkles, even age spots, like 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.220 I'm covered in freckles. Growing up, I was called 00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:43.620 Punky Brewster. I looked like her. And so the 00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:47.440 older I get, it's hard to tell, is that a freckle 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.899 or is that an age spot? And I had this one spot 00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:52.899 on my face. That was a newer looking freckle. 00:14:53.379 --> 00:14:55.179 And throughout the years it's been getting bigger 00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:57.720 and bigger and it started to cause me some concern. 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.039 So I went to the dermatologist and she was like, 00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:02.419 I'm not too concerned with it. If it gets bigger, 00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:05.600 we're going to biopsy it and you know, do all 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.639 the things. Now I am not one to just like disregard 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.299 any medical advice, but I said, you know what, 00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:16.480 hold off. before we take a crater out of my face, 00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.759 let me just do a little experiment. And I started 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.639 the frankincense with maybe three drops mixed 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.679 in with scent castor oil. It's a miracle little 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.940 concoction. And it has literally made this spot 00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:33.940 on my face go down to like a third of what it 00:15:33.940 --> 00:15:39.279 was. So I am staying from experience like this 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:44.100 stuff works for age spots. So that and then I 00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:46.379 want to ask your opinion about the snail mucin. 00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:50.200 So is that like a serum? Is that considered a 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.759 step as a serum? Yeah, that would be a serum. 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.799 They do make it, the first time I ever used it 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.799 was in sheet mask form. So like, again, at night, 00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:03.139 cleanse my face, sit on my bed, read a book for 00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:05.419 10 minutes, 15 minutes, whatever, with the sheet 00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:10.080 mask on. But what's cool about those is there's 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.759 like in the little packages, there's leftover 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.159 there's obviously a lot of serum in there, right, 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.399 when you take the sheet mask out? So then I would 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.899 use that packet for a couple days after as a 00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:21.940 serum too, because there was so much left inside. 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.320 Oh, cool. So, yeah, cleanse and I would put the 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.039 sheet mask on, kind of rub that in, and on those 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:31.960 days that I was using something like that, I 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.159 would cleanse and tone first, because it was 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.200 a mask that I needed to rinse off, like a charcoal 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.419 mask or something like that, you know, like a 00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:43.539 mud mask. So... that was just going to stay on 00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:45.659 because it's clear. It's a serum mask. It's a 00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:47.720 little bit different. But yes, that would be 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.039 a serum you would put on first before you moisturize 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.860 and do eye cream. What's your take on like those 00:16:53.860 --> 00:16:56.740 B or A pore strips or like things like that? 00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.840 Is that kind of, you know, harmful to your skin? 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.860 I don't know if I want to say harmful, but you 00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:04.680 know, they're made for your nose or your chin 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.019 area. But yeah, in my head, that makes sense 00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:09.539 that it does kind of leave the pore open and 00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:14.400 vulnerable for more clogging. Yeah. Okay. I would 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.779 just go get a facial and they'll manually extract 00:17:16.779 --> 00:17:20.559 for you. I know. I just recently went, my husband 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:24.420 got me this awesome spa day for Mother's Day 00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:26.819 and I deliberately waited to use it until my 00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:28.779 birthday, which was like almost a year later. 00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:33.079 And I got the facial and it was like, oh my God, 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.119 how am I only getting this now? I think I've 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.079 gotten two in my whole life. And it was just 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.900 like, wow, incredible. It does feel so good. 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.539 I feel like skincare is an important piece of 00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:49.019 just self -care and self -love. It can become, 00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:50.779 like I said, like a ritual. And I think that 00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:52.299 that's good because you're just, you're taking 00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:53.619 care of yourself. You brush your teeth and you 00:17:53.619 --> 00:17:55.059 eat well and you're doing all these other things. 00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:57.440 But if you're not taking care of your actual 00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.460 outside part of your body, you know, and it just 00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:02.279 makes you feel good. When your skin is hydrated 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.500 and you don't have any blemishes or anything 00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:06.119 going on like that, you feel like you don't really 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.559 need makeup. And that also feels nice being almost 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.970 40 and comfortable in your skin. Yeah, I'm more 00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:14.230 comfortable in my skin now than I was in high 00:18:14.230 --> 00:18:17.470 school. Right, and that comes with age. You would 00:18:17.470 --> 00:18:20.049 have never caught me dead without makeup until 00:18:20.049 --> 00:18:23.109 I was probably 25 or 26. Like I just, no thank 00:18:23.109 --> 00:18:24.769 you. I wouldn't even go to... You wouldn't catch 00:18:24.769 --> 00:18:27.269 me dead without makeup until like last week, 00:18:27.349 --> 00:18:32.130 you know. I'm like really trucking along here, 00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:36.430 but one thing that I... did pick up like a few 00:18:36.430 --> 00:18:38.490 years ago. Cause you know, every now and then 00:18:38.490 --> 00:18:41.390 I break out with a little bit here and there 00:18:41.390 --> 00:18:44.390 around my period. Is it on your chin? Cause that's 00:18:44.390 --> 00:18:47.089 typically, yeah, it has to do with menstrual. 00:18:47.349 --> 00:18:51.009 Yeah. So I found these awesome things. Um, peace 00:18:51.009 --> 00:18:53.329 out acne. They're like these little stickers 00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:56.589 that you put on at night. My God, I wish they 00:18:56.589 --> 00:19:00.490 had this in high school because you, they are 00:19:00.490 --> 00:19:03.819 like the hardest little workers at night. when 00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:06.460 you're sleeping because you wake up and it literally 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:11.200 draws all the stuff that's just clogging whatever 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.779 is going on there and you take off the little 00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:16.799 patch and you just see all of it oh really on 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.839 oh yeah i will yeah the next time i order a patch 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.259 i'm going to give you i've heard of things like 00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:24.079 that i don't know if it's what i'm thinking but 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.539 i know i love it but they actually work so now 00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:29.220 i'm like addicted to them and i love them and 00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:31.180 yeah i'll be getting those for my boys when they 00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:34.390 hit that prime age of you know, all the things. 00:19:34.670 --> 00:19:37.849 But I also wanted to bring up, because Steve's 00:19:37.849 --> 00:19:41.730 grandma gave me this awesome trick back in the 00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:45.349 day. Before you get out of the shower, and your 00:19:45.349 --> 00:19:48.609 skin is still wet, you lather up your legs and 00:19:48.609 --> 00:19:50.410 your arms, your stomach, everything but your 00:19:50.410 --> 00:19:54.609 face with baby oil, then you dry off. And you 00:19:54.609 --> 00:19:57.410 don't need any lotion. And your skin is just 00:19:57.410 --> 00:19:59.910 so smooth. You know when you go to... get a pedicure 00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:02.950 and they put that oil on and you walk out of 00:20:02.950 --> 00:20:05.170 the salon, you're like, oh my God, my legs feel 00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:08.710 so smooth and like nice. It's, I mean, you could 00:20:08.710 --> 00:20:11.410 pick up the cheapest little bottle of baby oil, 00:20:11.930 --> 00:20:15.470 keep it in your shower. And it's, I was like, 00:20:15.569 --> 00:20:18.769 Betty, oh my God, thank you so much. Betty with 00:20:18.769 --> 00:20:22.150 the tips. Oh God, girl. And it does the trick. 00:20:22.369 --> 00:20:24.650 I mean, I'm telling you, my legs, after I do 00:20:24.650 --> 00:20:27.799 that, they feel so good. Yeah, I've even she 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.660 if you shave with baby oil same thing. You just 00:20:30.660 --> 00:20:33.759 gotta watch out cuz that shower is slick after 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.559 That's slick, but it really does make your legs 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.740 feel really really nice. So I agree with the 00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:41.559 baby oil Betty knew what she was doing Yeah, 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:43.480 I'm gonna do the baby oil shaving. I never tried. 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.160 Yeah, just make a pin dot in Yeah, you know how 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.779 it's sealed Just like the pin neck, because otherwise 00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:54.599 it's a mess. So let's talk castor oil, or it 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:56.579 could be any kind of, you know, body oil if you 00:20:56.579 --> 00:21:00.019 make your own or whatever, but for gua sha. You 00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:02.240 want to talk about gua sha now? Let's do gua 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.819 sha. I feel like we're going to go on like a 00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:07.339 ayahuasca trip. Let's do some gua sha. I know, 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.319 you want to talk about it? So this is become 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.920 big, I would say. I mean, I don't know, over 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.000 the past 10 years, but. from what I know, but 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.180 I feel like it's really like I see so much of 00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:22.680 it now. And it's basically facial massage for 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.700 your face, your neck, helps with lymphatic drainage 00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:28.240 too, which has become a big thing too for just 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.700 your whole body in general. But it's essentially 00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:34.900 a technique with a lot of it is a jade that you 00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:37.279 can purchase. They come in like handheld forms, 00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:40.160 sometimes rollers. and everyone's got kind of 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.839 a different technique, but it's basically rubbing 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.180 this along your face to move fluid and helps 00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:48.579 with fine lines and wrinkles. It's just, it feels 00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:51.480 so good. You kind of feel this like fire starting, 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.019 which is normal. You feel the blood come to your 00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:58.779 face, like to the surface. You typically will 00:21:58.779 --> 00:22:01.440 get a little pink, little red from it. That's 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.660 normal, but It really helps with puffiness. It 00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:07.940 can help with under eye puffiness and it just 00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:10.319 kind of gets things moving and it feels so good. 00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:12.779 There's tons of tutorials online. You can go 00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:18.240 on Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube. Some techniques 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:21.619 are just so basic. A lot of times I will do something 00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:23.279 quick kind of in the shower while my cleanser 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.079 is actually on. So I'm just using my fingers. 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.140 And then if I do have time and it's like a little 00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:30.099 self care day or a Sunday or something, I will 00:22:30.099 --> 00:22:33.359 actually use. you know, the tools, but my favorite 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.339 oil to use right now is castor oil. So I will 00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:39.779 put all my stuff on, but if I'm using castor 00:22:39.779 --> 00:22:42.940 oil as my actual moisturizer, I do that last 00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:46.400 and it's just helps glide with your tools so 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.420 easily. And then, and then there's still so much 00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:50.140 on. It's not like you're getting it really in 00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:52.460 your hair or anything. It really kind of stays 00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:55.940 put because castor oil is pretty thick and it 00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:58.500 just glides so nicely and it just feels amazing. 00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:02.779 Now is this because I have like a rose quartz 00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:07.759 roller in my fridge Similar and yes. Yep, very 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.059 similar. You can put any of those things in The 00:23:11.059 --> 00:23:13.319 freezer so that they're really cold and that's 00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:15.960 just a nice feeling for the skin as well I have 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.559 like a huge roller. I don't even know actually 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:21.140 what it's made of. It's definitely not Jade or 00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:24.289 rose quartz And if you're feeling puffy, you 00:23:24.289 --> 00:23:26.670 can just rub it on your temples if you have a 00:23:26.670 --> 00:23:28.230 headache or something like that. And those are 00:23:28.230 --> 00:23:29.710 really nice. I think I bought it on Amazon for 00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:32.650 $8. And these, you know, the gua sha, they're 00:23:32.650 --> 00:23:35.029 not that expensive. Again, you can find them 00:23:35.029 --> 00:23:38.569 on Amazon for definitely under $15, probably 00:23:38.569 --> 00:23:42.809 under $10. Is there a specific direction that 00:23:42.809 --> 00:23:45.650 you're supposed to move it, like up and out? 00:23:45.730 --> 00:23:48.009 Yeah, you're kind of moving, you're kind of starting 00:23:48.009 --> 00:23:50.589 from... the center, like if there was a line 00:23:50.589 --> 00:23:52.609 to be from the top of, you know, the middle of 00:23:52.609 --> 00:23:54.430 your forehead down to your chin, you're going 00:23:54.430 --> 00:23:57.150 to think like everything from the middle to the 00:23:57.150 --> 00:23:59.049 left and the middle to the right. So you're kind 00:23:59.049 --> 00:24:00.970 of moving out to the edges towards your ears 00:24:00.970 --> 00:24:04.630 and up, and then also down the back of the neck. 00:24:05.450 --> 00:24:08.170 And, you know, your neck is incorporated into 00:24:08.170 --> 00:24:10.630 it too, just for the lymphatic drainage portion. 00:24:10.730 --> 00:24:13.230 But like I said, there's so many tutorials online, 00:24:13.490 --> 00:24:15.910 different people you can follow who, you know, 00:24:15.910 --> 00:24:17.990 you can get the direction from, and it's so easy. 00:24:18.190 --> 00:24:21.910 but it feels so good. Oh, I'm gonna have to try 00:24:21.910 --> 00:24:24.849 some foie chat. Yeah, and again, I'm sure there's 00:24:24.849 --> 00:24:26.509 people who do it every night. I do it just like 00:24:26.509 --> 00:24:29.109 when I can and I'm finding the time for myself, 00:24:29.609 --> 00:24:32.470 but it does really feel good and I love the castor 00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:35.500 oil for that. So some nights I'm using castor 00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:37.440 oil as my moisturizer I'm never using it during 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:39.200 the day because it's way too thick again unless 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.380 I'm just staying home all day but I would say 00:24:41.380 --> 00:24:44.019 the night time is when your skin is really getting 00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:46.599 to heal and rejuvenate itself because there's 00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:50.279 so much time that you're resting and So that's 00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.319 really one kind of the strong stuff is used like 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.519 a retinoid or something like that I'm gonna have 00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.380 to revisit I had tried retinol or retinoid one 00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:01.779 of them over -the -counter, but I had tried it 00:25:01.779 --> 00:25:04.519 briefly and I got real scared because it started 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.539 flaking, like you said. Yeah. And I just kind 00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:11.799 of chucked it and ran, but I might have to start 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.299 reintroducing myself to that one. Yeah, it's 00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:18.140 just... Yeah, I think if you layer with a moisturizer, 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.579 so moisturizer, and then your retinol, and then 00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:25.539 moisturizer again, that might help. And I've 00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:27.720 had, like I said, good luck with using the castor 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.079 oil on those nights I'm using the tretinoin. 00:25:30.950 --> 00:25:33.609 Yeah, see I wasn't using castor oil back then, 00:25:33.630 --> 00:25:36.250 so that could probably help. Yes, absolutely. 00:25:36.269 --> 00:25:38.150 And there is bad castor oil, so you do want to 00:25:38.150 --> 00:25:42.069 look for organic castor oil too, because there's 00:25:42.069 --> 00:25:44.769 so many other uses which we could go down. Like, 00:25:45.230 --> 00:25:47.309 oh, that's a whole other episode with my love 00:25:47.309 --> 00:25:51.150 for castor oil. But yes, definitely loving it 00:25:51.150 --> 00:25:55.450 on the face for sure. So I wanted to give a little 00:25:55.450 --> 00:25:58.150 shout out to one of the brands that I'm using 00:25:58.150 --> 00:26:00.029 right now, because I am using a good amount of 00:26:00.029 --> 00:26:02.529 their stuff. I don't even know how to say it, 00:26:02.529 --> 00:26:05.130 to be honest. It's made in California. I'm gonna 00:26:05.130 --> 00:26:07.430 pronounce it shwa -lay. This is where I'm getting 00:26:07.430 --> 00:26:10.289 my tallow balm, which is basically a moisturizer. 00:26:10.529 --> 00:26:15.750 It has vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, K, B12, 00:26:15.990 --> 00:26:19.950 omega -3, and choline. Ooh, again, doesn't have 00:26:19.950 --> 00:26:22.960 like, it smells like tallow. doesn't really have 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:24.960 a scent, but I can also get behind that because 00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.759 I know that there's not a lot of junk in it. 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:31.380 But the balm that I'm using also has methylene 00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:33.680 blue in it, which I feel like is a new trigger 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:35.980 word for people. It's like a big thing. You can 00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:38.779 actually ingest it. It could be in skincare, 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.160 like I'm saying, and I feel like it's kind of 00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.220 the new craze. So they actually have some of 00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:46.380 that also in their tallow balm. And I've been 00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:50.059 using their Methylene Blue serum also. So it 00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:53.140 is actually like light blue. Oh, that's cool. 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.099 Yeah, I love it. So Methylene Blue helps with 00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:59.460 collagen production, skin thickness, so your 00:26:59.460 --> 00:27:02.079 skin's not so, you know, thin or crepey looking. 00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.539 It adds hydration, it reduces wrinkle formation, 00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:11.359 and it neutralizes free radicals. So if you were 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.880 to use it at any time, it'd be best really in 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:16.710 the morning to help. you know, with any free 00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:18.529 radicals that you get during the day. But I've 00:27:18.529 --> 00:27:20.930 been using it morning and night. I've been putting 00:27:20.930 --> 00:27:23.430 it on before I do my vitamin C serum in the morning, 00:27:23.430 --> 00:27:25.769 and I've been putting it on at night before I 00:27:25.769 --> 00:27:29.690 use my hyaluronic acid. Again, let those serums 00:27:29.690 --> 00:27:32.609 sit for maybe even just 30 seconds. It just needs 00:27:32.609 --> 00:27:35.829 to kind of not be wet before you apply the next 00:27:35.829 --> 00:27:38.430 one. And a lot of these, they work well with 00:27:38.430 --> 00:27:40.970 other things you can completely layer. Also, 00:27:40.990 --> 00:27:43.670 what's neat about Methylene Blue is it's antiviral, 00:27:43.869 --> 00:27:47.150 antibacterial, antifungal. It's awesome. I love 00:27:47.150 --> 00:27:49.210 it. Yeah, Steve brought that up to me the other 00:27:49.210 --> 00:27:52.029 day. Of course, you too, probably. Oh, yeah. 00:27:52.109 --> 00:27:55.490 Your ears were ringing. I know. You know what, 00:27:55.509 --> 00:27:57.529 too? They have a deodorant I've been using because 00:27:57.529 --> 00:28:00.089 I think most of us are trying to get away from 00:28:00.089 --> 00:28:01.890 all the aluminum and all the other crap in our 00:28:01.890 --> 00:28:05.789 deodorants, and it works really good. Like, not 00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:08.369 stinky at all. Not stinky on it. It has zinc 00:28:08.369 --> 00:28:10.829 and charcoal, arrowroot, baking soda. Like, it's 00:28:10.829 --> 00:28:13.460 very clean, and I love it. I've been very, very 00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:15.480 happy with my products from them. Like you said, 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.279 I've been using the Thayer's Witch Hazel as my 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.220 toner, which is something new. I've never used 00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:22.299 Witch Hazel before until like three months ago 00:28:22.299 --> 00:28:24.299 I started using it. Little goes a long way. It 00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:27.500 lasts forever. And that's priced really well. 00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:32.680 Then my cleanser. And I do have a couple of their 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:37.279 serums, my hyaluronic acid and my vitamin C serum. 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.599 I do have one of their moisturizers too is Laroche 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:42.960 Posay. Don't know if I'm saying that right either. 00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:46.339 Yeah, I have heard about that one Yeah, I've 00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:48.920 been liking it and I've tried a ton of brands 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:51.940 So it's really personal too as to what works 00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:54.839 for you. What feels good. You want to use clean 00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.640 clean products We do our best but in the same 00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:59.900 breath some of the clean clean products maybe 00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:03.059 won't Fix what you need. Like sometimes you do 00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:06.319 need something prescription So it just depends 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:09.319 on what you're needing for your own personal 00:29:09.609 --> 00:29:12.130 you know, your skin, what does it actually need? 00:29:12.950 --> 00:29:15.809 I think that, you know, if you can just, like 00:29:15.809 --> 00:29:18.730 I said, even if you're just cleansing and moisturizing, 00:29:19.089 --> 00:29:20.849 you're doing better than most of the other people. 00:29:20.970 --> 00:29:23.150 Yeah, girl, wash your face, right? Read that 00:29:23.150 --> 00:29:26.750 books. Yeah. So another thing is like double 00:29:26.750 --> 00:29:29.289 cleansing or not cleansing at all. Again, this 00:29:29.289 --> 00:29:31.650 is just like, there's a couple of different camps. 00:29:31.789 --> 00:29:33.630 It's like what makes the most sense. Some people 00:29:33.630 --> 00:29:35.869 double cleanse, which means they wash their face 00:29:35.869 --> 00:29:38.069 two times in a row. to make sure that they're 00:29:38.069 --> 00:29:40.670 getting all the stuff off, which I totally understand. 00:29:40.710 --> 00:29:42.690 If you're using a ton of makeup or something 00:29:42.690 --> 00:29:45.710 really strong, then yeah, you might need to cleanse 00:29:45.710 --> 00:29:47.869 two times. You don't want your toner pad to be 00:29:47.869 --> 00:29:49.930 brown from all your bronzer that you had, even 00:29:49.930 --> 00:29:51.950 though you just washed your face. That shouldn't 00:29:51.950 --> 00:29:53.990 be the case. It just depends on what camp you're 00:29:53.990 --> 00:29:57.210 in as to what works best for you. I'm in the 00:29:57.210 --> 00:30:02.089 rugged camp. It looks great though. So whatever 00:30:02.089 --> 00:30:04.529 dad was mixing in that bucket, I think he really... 00:30:04.529 --> 00:30:07.480 Yeah, I can't wait to find out. the mystery bucket 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.960 maybe it's basically it feels like a mud mask 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.799 which is great because that is exfoliating and 00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.720 can also close your pores which is half the battle 00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.539 yeah no it's cool we had an obscene amount of 00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:21.539 it you might have to bottle it he might really 00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:25.200 have something it's like a five dollar bag from 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.980 pump depot it's just cement yeah yeah well to 00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:33.299 leave you guys today i wanted to give a quote 00:30:33.529 --> 00:30:36.029 per usual. So I don't know who this is from either. 00:30:36.210 --> 00:30:38.670 Couldn't find it. But it says, skincare is a 00:30:38.670 --> 00:30:41.670 ritual, not a routine. And I feel like it's so 00:30:41.670 --> 00:30:44.609 true because it's kind of self -love. You need 00:30:44.609 --> 00:30:47.170 to like take the time and it feels good when 00:30:47.170 --> 00:30:48.809 you do it. You know, when I take the time to 00:30:48.809 --> 00:30:52.069 do all the things, it feels nice. So incorporate 00:30:52.069 --> 00:30:54.289 this into your life, give yourself the love and 00:30:54.289 --> 00:30:56.490 treatment that you guys deserve. And as always, 00:30:57.089 --> 00:30:57.609 keep it good.
