hello guys welcome back to my channel so
recently my skin
has been struggling it's been dry
textured
acne prone and i've had to do extensive
research but i have found what i think
is the perfect skincare routine
to help moisturize and smooth out my
irritated
skin so usually my skincare routine is
just a makeup remover
face wash moisturizer and then an oil
but i've had to do a complete overhaul
of my skincare routine
and now my skincare routine is makeup
remover
face wash toner serum moisturizer and
then the last product is like my secret
skincare product it's like a hidden gem
and i will be sharing
that and everything else in my skincare
routine
with you guys in this video i also want
to thank heiner for kindly sponsoring
this video and supporting my channel so
i will be getting into
one of their products in a few minutes
and now without further ado
let's just jump right into my current
skincare routine
to start out i remove my makeup using
the abilene moisturizing cleanser
previously
i had used pharmacies green clean
what i found as my skin became really
dry and sensitive over the last couple
months is that
i cannot use products with fragrances in
them so i had to stop using this
but albileen literally does the same
exact thing
as pharmacy's green clean for a fraction
of the price
and is fragrance free it only has like
five ingredients enough rambling
what i do to use it is i just scoop some
out this is what it looks like it looks
like vaseline
and you just rub it in just like you
would do with any
type of oil cleanser so when you rub
this on your face
it starts to liquify and it helps to
dissolve
any makeup that you have any dirt oil
bacteria the next step is to take a
clean washcloth put it under warm water
and then
wipe all the makeup off of your face
amazing
amazing you guys can see just how glowy
my skin
already looks just from using the
albileen
it's a must-have if you have dry skin
next i use
cerave's hydrating cream to foam facial
cleanser
so this cleanses and hydrates your skin
and it doesn't irritate it at all it
helps to remove
excess makeup excess the dirt and stuff
like that
so it is going to clean your skin but
it's not a heavy-duty cleanser
so it's not going to irritate it that's
why i started to use this over
the fresh soy facial cleanser because
it's
more gentle than that face wash and also
it is fragrance free so that's another
key as i mentioned before i just cannot
use
products with fragrances in them right
now this is what the face wash looks
like it does obviously look like a cream
as you massage it onto your face it
starts to turn into like a foamy
consistency and i wash my face for 60
seconds
because anything less than that and it's
just not enough time to clean my face
now i dry my face with a clean washcloth
and then because i have eyelash
extensions i just dry them quickly with
this little mini fan
so because my skin has been so dry and
irritated lately
the high mirror that i mentioned at the
beginning of this video
has been super helpful at helping me
figure out what are the best
products and practices that i should be
using for my skin
to help smooth it out and moisturize it
the high mirror slide is a smart mirror
that you can use
to analyze your skin and you can also
use it to analyze your skin care
products
you can listen to music with it you can
watch youtube videos
you can even check social media but one
of the most helpful features of the high
mirror for me
has been the skin analyzer feature so
all you do with the skin analyzer is
just take a picture of your face
on the actual mirror and it analyzes
your skin
figuring out where your problem areas
are so for me
my problem areas are my cheeks and my
forehead
where it's really red and that's because
that's where it has been super dry and
textured and then also dark circles
which makes sense
because i have a newborn and i'm tired
all the time
it's just kind of funny how the mirror
picked up on that and it's also helped
me to do research and find the perfect
products for my skin the high mirror
also has another feature
called the beauty box which analyzes
skin care products and how they can be
impacting your skin and they also make
recommendations of skin care products
that are perfect for your skin
based on the skin analyzer results that
you received and also based on your
local weather which is really helpful
for me
because i don't know about you guys but
my skin
is just really really impacted by the
weather so in the summer
and spring it's thriving it's glowy and
then
once fall and winter come around my skin
gets super dry and cracked and irritated
another one of my favorite things about
the high mirror is the fact that you can
watch
youtube videos while you're doing your
skincare routine
while you're putting on your makeup on
the actual
mirror itself you can even minimize the
video
while you're doing your makeup or your
skincare and still play the audio in the
background but you can have like the
whole mirror to yourself to use
to get ready the mirror also flips into
landscape mode if that's how you prefer
to use it
and also while you're doing your makeup
you can turn on the makeup lights
and watch youtube videos all at the same
time not only is the high mirror slide
great for your everyday personal use it
also makes an
amazing gift and from now until december
27th you can actually get it for
20 off plus free shipping just check the
link in the description of this
video to get your high mirror slide now
we are moving on to the next step which
is a
toner so this is the ordinary's a
glycolic
acid seven percent toning solution
now first of all i used to like never
use a toner and i also
used to never really exfoliate but this
is great if you're having
you know some breakouts acne prone skin
textured
skin it helps to remove dead skin cells
and everything like that
and just reveal a smoother more fresh
layer of skin and it also helps with
like flakiness and stuff like that and
it is okay to use on an
everyday basis i just have this sitting
in my hand i need to put it on my face
so as you guys just saw i just pour some
into my hand and then i kind of like tap
it together
and then i pat it on my face so
this is a chemical exfoliant i do
have a few other chemical exfoliants
that i like to use
but this is the only one that i use on
an everyday basis
and i found that chemical exfoliants
particularly
this ordinary chemical exfoliant has
really helped to clear up
the texture that i had on my cheeks and
the breakouts that i had been getting on
my jawline
the next product is one of my favorites
from this entire
skincare routine and this is the eva
naturals
skin clearing serum so i discovered this
while i was researching how to get rid
of textured
bumpy skin this was like one of the most
recommended products
and i ordered this from amazon it has
vitamin c
salicylic acid hyaluronic acid
niacinamide
retinol and msm so basically with all
those
ingredients it's going to help to smooth
out your skin
and get rid of any acne just like
completely clear your skin and prevent
breakouts but it's also not going to
over dry it
because of the hyaluronic acid so i just
dropped some into my hand and it has a
similar texture to the toner it's
like a watery texture i love this so
much and then i just
rub this on my face patting it gently
oh look at that glow you can definitely
see you can definitely see the glow and
i'm telling you guys i did
not have this like mid-november my skin
was looking rough my next step is
moisturizing
in my last skincare routine i showed you
guys that i had been using a neutrogena
hydro boost water gel moisturizer but i
actually had to stop using this and i
had to switch to
a different version of this moisturizer
because
first of all this one is scented and
also
it is not intended for super dry skin
instead now i'm using the neutrogena
hydro boost
cream gel for extra dry skin this is as
it says
more of like a creamy texture or
consistency and then also it is
fragrance free
so i just had this on my face very
gently
massaging it in i'm going to tell you
guys
my favorite step out of this entire
skincare routine and what has
truly helped to smooth out the dryness
on my face this is either the cerave
healing ointment or
the aquaphor and this is baby aquaphor
and both of these
are petroleum based this one
more than this one but basically
my point is that this one is a little
bit pricier
than this aquaphor but i think they do
the same thing
so just get this i just take some on my
finger
and i apply this on my cheeks
so at first it is gonna look really
really kind of oily or just like greasy
a little bit
but i promise it's not my skin it's just
the aquaphor
and it all goes away within like an hour
or so
and it reveals really really smooth and
hydrated skin so i like to just put this
like
even on the bottom of my face because it
was getting super dry around here as
well
i am telling you guys if you have dry
skin you need to use this
so this has been my skincare routine it
has been how
i was able to transform my skin
from looking really dry bumpy textured
and just irritated to looking glowy and
smooth again
