Hey guys, what's up? Welcome back to the channel. So in today's video, I'm coming at you with a skincare routine. I am a huge skincare advocate. I always have been ever since I was a little. I take it very, very seriously and I think it's just as important as anything else like nutrition and exercise. So with that, I thought I would share with you guys my full step-by-step routine. Kind of adopted the the Korean Skin and Care routine and if you don't know what that is, it is a 10 step routine. Mine's not as intense, but you'll see. Okay guys, I do it every single night, hands down, I don't miss a night. I take it very seriously. My particular routine is going to be based off of two things. Two primary things that I focus on. Number one is acne. Okay, don't got any going on right now, but girlfriend, believe me, I do. I do. Okay, I finally found a routine that works for me that eliminates my breakouts. I'm a-okay with it. And the second most important thing with my routine is it's got to be an anti-aging routine. Guys, a little secret. I'm going to be 30 years old in about a month and a half. Okay? Gotta get that anti-aging routine, go and girlfriend. Start when you're young. Trust me. Start when you're young. So anyways, I'm going to take you into my bathroom and let's get this makeup off the face and let's nourish this face right now. Okay, let's go take care. Hashtag self-care right now. But before we do that, please do subscribe if you're new because I make new videos every single week and hit that thumbs up button if you like this video. Okay, let's go. Okay, first things first. Time to get this hair up and out of my face. Huge thank you to Masquerade for sponsoring a portion of today's video. I absolutely love their products. They are so fun and so so cute. They really do make skin care so enjoyable. Look how freaking cute this headband is. It is time to get those pores nice and open so I'm just going to get my face wet with warm water. Okay, so step one to my process is to remove makeup and cleanse the skin. I absolutely love this purifying cleansing stick with red beat from Masquerade. It smells amazing, made with real red beat. It is so cute, so convenient. It's a portable oil to lather stick, so it cleanses and removes makeup. It balances and nourishes your skin. Next, I'm just going to dry my face. Always pat it dry, never rub because that will just irritate your skin and step two is to exfoliate. Now, I'm not actually going to go through with exfoliating my face today for two reasons. Number one, I only exfoliate every other day because I don't want to irritate my skin and second of all, I'm sunburned from the beach. Okay, step number three, I love to use a facial toner. This one in particular is made with Vitamin C and it helps to brighten your skin and reduce acne. Toners are really good to follow up after you cleanse your face. It'll help to remove excess dirt, traces of oil and makeup and it corrects and balances the pH of your skin. Okay, step number four is to apply a mask. What I love is Masquerade has a large assortment of very fun and colorful face masks. You can literally get one for every single night of the week, always keeps your skin care nice and spicy and fun. So, because I just got back from the beach and I'm pretty sunburned on my face, I decided that I am going to choose the beauty restore mask. This one nourishes and relaxes because it has lavender oil in it, aloe leaf and hyaluronic acid. So it's going to soothe and cool your skin and the hyaluronic acid is very good for moisturizing your skin and locking in that moisture. Guys, I kid you not this face mask felt so so so good. It was so cooling and it's just what I needed after being at the beach for a few days. My skin is so dry right now. Oh, I could just feel my face soaking up this moisture. I love it. So 10 minutes later, I'm taking off my mask. My skin feels really good. Any of the excess product, I'm just going to lightly tap into my skin. Again, I don't rub at my skin. I just gently pat. Okay, and next up is a big one for me. Facial serums. The very first facial serum that I put on my face is retinal. Retinal is a form of vitamin A and it's used for anti-aging. It also helps to fight acne, reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen and promote cellular turnover. It's also known for evening out your skin tone and increasing blood flow to the skin. The way that I put it on is I first start by patting it on the crows feet. Wherever I feel like I would be prone to getting wrinkles, those are where I will focus the product on and then move on to the rest of my face. The second serum that I swear by that I kind of referenced before was the hyaluronic acid. I do not mess around, girlfriend. I need to keep my skin nice and moisturized because the leading cause of wrinkles is dry skin. Your skin will easily crack and it calls wrinkles and you don't want that. You want to keep it nice and moisturized. So hyaluronic acid is great for an anti-aging serum. It's also good for sealing and locking in moisture. Again, I'm just patting it all around my face and my neck just being super, super gentle. Okay guys, step number six is none other than moisturizer. At the end of my routine, I love to just add on a moisturizer. The one that I'm using is from St. Ives. It's a collagen booster. So it will help give that overall youthful skin. It's super hydrating. I absolutely love this brand. I've been using St. Ives for a long time now. And it has really worked wonders for my skin. So it's a really nice renewing moisturizer. You want to do upward motions. Keep that skin nice and youthful. Okay guys, very last step. Step number seven is spot treatment. Luckily in this case, I am currently not experiencing any acne. But if I were on a normal day, the very last thing I would do is add on a spot treatment. Masquerade really has you covered literally. The assortment that this brand has is amazing.
