“hey guys welcome back to my channel so
today I’m going to be doing a video why
don’t I have to say what today I’m gonna
be doing like I’m going to be talking to
you guys about my skincare a lot of you
guys it’s like one of the most highly
requested frequently asked questions
that I get whether it be on youtube or
on Instagram or Twitter or whatever
anytime I show my face bare and naked
like I have it now people asked me what
I did to clear up my skin and they asked
me what my skincare routine is while I
do have a skincare routine and I’m gonna
be discussing with you guys today I’m
not gonna be showing you guys my
skincare routine again because it’s
literally the same exact routine that
I’ve been doing before with the
exception of one product that I’ve added
in but other than that my my skincare
routine is pretty much the same from the
previous video if you haven’t seen my
previous skincare video I do have one it
is up on my channel now so you can
definitely check that out to get the
full details of everything and how I go
through the process of my skincare
routine I wanted to go ahead and get my
disclaimer once again like I did in my
last video my skin did not stop breaking
out because of these products none of
these things that I used on my face this
whole year are specifically for acne
most of these things are in the
anti-aging category the anti-aging and
refining category I have another video
specifically talking about how I cleared
up my acne I think what cleared up my
skin was me actually taking out the time
to figure out why my skin was breaking
out and treating back it’s diet related
and it’s hormonal related basically this
whole year I’ve been on a hill
journey which I will be doing an update
on that video I’ve stopped eating
certain foods and then I’ve also been
cutting out a lot of the stressors in my
life I’ve been doing a lot of stress
therapy relieving myself of stress and
pressure and anxiety and things like
that that has really helped with my
hormones to get back in balance you want
to make sure that the water you’re
putting on your face and the water
you’re drinking is healthy drinking
water and eating the right foods for
your body it definitely makes a
difference so make sure you know what
you’re allergic to
fried foods processed foods dairy are
nono for me anything that’s heavy in the
sugar and gluten category which is
basically everything I like but I have
to cut back it’s gonna help you okay as
you can tell my skin is pretty clear I
have no active breakouts and I don’t
really get them if I do get any
breakouts I get maybe a pimple here or
there my skin is pretty even texture and
even toned I do still have a couple dark
marks some of these marks are a lot
older or they are just kind of permanent
this burn mark has been there since 2013
so that’s not going away anytime soon
and let me also say that just because
these products work for me don’t mean
that they’ll work for you you know that
these products are expensive a lot of
them aren’t very very expensive but I do
find that products that are more
expensive work better and faster because
they don’t have a long shelf life so
when products don’t have a long shelf
life that means the ingredients in them
or are active and more pure drugstore
products don’t really work as fast
especially when you’re talking about
refining and changing the texture of
your skin getting rid of dark spots you
really need something that’s gonna
penetrate your pores and I don’t find
that many drugstore products do that the
number one product that I feel like
totally transformed my skin as far as
like the texture and dark spots and all
of that goes this is the Sunday Riley
good jeans I purchased this product with
my own money three times this year this
is a high potency lactic acid treatment
it is specifically made to help with
wrinkles fine lines dark spots
discoloration and make your skin look
more bright and clear it basically it’s
a cream exfoliant the best way to get
rid of dark spots and texture in your
skin is to exfoliate your skin I don’t
think that physical exfoliant which are
like scrubs like facial scrubs I don’t
think those are effective especially if
you have acne prone skin that has active
breakouts on your face you can’t use
this tub because it’s gonna spread
bacteria I find that exfoliant like this
which is the cream exfoliant work a lot
better they penetrate into your pores
better over time this has really helped
like transform the actual look and feel
of my skin this was the most effective
products and changing the way my skin
appears this helps the turnover rate for
like dark spots and things like that so
when I get newer breakouts and newer
dark spots they don’t last as long as
they normally would when I’m using this
product so this helps to repair my skin
faster the cheaper alternative to this
would be the acne org AJ
that I’ve talked about before I don’t
use it as much as this only because this
works a lot faster this is $100 so it’s
not cheap by any means but it definitely
works I feel like it works faster than
the AJ cream I’m coming on the end of my
third bottle so that’s about right that
12 months I’ve used it three to four
times cuz I use it about every three
months I run out of this there is a
bigger bottle but it’s like $150 and I’m
not not there next thing that I feel has
transformed my skin tremendously this is
the TLC by drunk elephant drunk elephant
products are definitely my favorite
product line for the year I will say for
skincare
as far as skin care goes drunk elephant
products are my favorite underdog
product like they’re really really good
they are expensive they can be find
Sephora but they work I haven’t used all
of it only because I alternate between
these two this one I feel is not as
strong as this but I still really love
it it definitely works and I definitely
think that it’s worth a shot
it is an a jbh a blend so it’s 12% H
APHA if you don’t know what that is
that’s an alpha hydroxy acid lactic acid
is an alpha hydroxy acid glycolic acid
is an alpha hydroxy acid so alpha
hydroxy acids are the exfoliating acids
that go into your skin and exfoliate it
and change the texture
and the dark spots and all of that it
helps to like get rid of all of that so
this is a gel and it resurfaces dull
congested skin by lifting away dead skin
cells like the good genes it is for fine
lines wrinkles and other signs of aging
and it also helps with excess oiliness
and pores now the problem is you cannot
use these two together you should not
use these two together because those
thin your skin out over time so you have
to make sure that you use one of the
other I love the way these two face by
the way I feel like this pumps out less
then this does it pumps out a lot of
product and so I end up running out of
this faster and I run out of this so
these two are great another product that
I feel really helped with refining my
texture getting rid of dark spots and
all of that is the TLC by drunk elephant
and this and this new card baby facial
and this is a little bit more intense
than this it is the same concept it uses
25% OHA and 2% DHA so this is 12 percent
in this twenty five percent so it’s a
little bit more potent this to me would
be the equivalent of going to a spa or
an aesthetician and getting a chemical
peel done it’s not as strong as the
chemical peel it doesn’t make your skin
actually peel off I didn’t experience
any peeling when I use this it does have
a tingling sensation you definitely want
to like keep it away from your eyes
because it will burn your eyes or
whatever if you get it too close to your
eyes it’s a little bit more expensive
but if you go to get a chemical peel
you’re going to be spending around 150 I
think so I feel like this is a cheaper
alternative because you can do it at
home so use it one to two times a week
at max no more than that for 20 minutes
and you rinse it off I probably only use
this more
a month actually I don’t use this very
often but I do feel like using this has
helped to refine my texture as well you
are supposed to follow this up with a
foil so I have the Virgin marula oil
that they suggest to use this product
with my skincare routine is pretty much
the same still do a two-step cleansing
method so I’ll use the clinic take the
day off balm and this is like I said
before my favorite makeup remover I
don’t use makeup wipes because I feel
like makeup wipes strip my skin of
moisture and they make my skin feel
really dry afterwards I only use makeup
watch them on the plane or something
like that when you go and I don’t have
this with me and then I go in with the
face wash this is the face soap and
clarity like I said before I don’t think
base watch does make a difference I
really don’t have a face wash that I can
say that it’s really transformed my skin
I like this one just because it cleans
it leaves my skin feeling nice
afterwards I don’t have a problem with
it and I love it so that’s why I use it
after I wash my face and clean it and
all that stuff I immediately go in with
my iris extract and this is by Kiehl’s
this is the activating treatment essence
it does say that it’s supposed to
enhance your skin care products that you
put on on top I don’t know how well that
works but I will say that it does help
me retain moisture that’s one product
that I’ve added to my skincare routine
since the last time I made one lately
I’ve been using the Kiehl’s ultra facial
cream and that’s only because I ran out
of my other moisturizer and I needed
another one pretty much any moisturizer
will do in the winter time I do
transition to a cream as opposed to a
light moisturizer or I’ll use an oil in
the oil that I use is the virginal rule
of one by drunk elephant
in the daytime the only thing that I
would suggest is I’ve been using the
vitamin C serum by drunk elephant this
is the C firma you don’t necessarily
need a vitamin C serum I just feel like
it makes my skin really soft and radiant
the one product that I will say I cannot
go without in the daytime is a sunscreen
and the only reason I say to use a
sunscreen is because if you are not
using a sunscreen and you’re using super
heavy-duty products like this or like
the good genes your skin is very very
sensitive so you don’t want to damage
your skin in the process of trying to
heal it so you do want to use a
sunscreen the sunscreen that I like the
most is the glossier invisible shield
and this is SPF 35 I also really like
the benefit dreamscreen
which is SPF 45 but that one is clearly
never in stock anywhere it’s always sold
out so I have to use this one but I like
this one too it’s clear it doesn’t leave
a white residue I don’t feel it doesn’t
smell like sunscreen so it’s pretty much
invisible if you want to see a skincare
routine showing you guys how I use the
products in action you can definitely
watch the video in the comment section
up here or in the description box I will
make sure to link that but other than
that that’s all I do to my skin
I feel like those are the products that
work for me they were the best products
I’ve tried and I’ve been using them all
year long and I think the consistency in
conjunction with the fact that these
products are awesome it has really
helped to clear my skin but I do want to
show you guys my skin live and in the
flesh what it looks like and this is it
so if you guys have any questions let me
know but yeah that is all I will talk to
guys in my next video okay
