 If you were to ask me what the single most important ingredient in a skincare routine would be, I would say consistency. Because if you are not consistent with your routine, it's not going to work. You have to do this every day. And the other one is that at night, oh my goodness, how many of us have for years slept in our makeup? And there could be nothing worse than that. And I'll tell you why. Because all day long, we have things coming at us. All the pollution, the UV rays, all this kind of stuff. And at night, we're at our very, very best to be able to rejuvenate and undo all the effects of the day. We're not stressed. Our faces aren't crunched up because we're stressed. And so I would say that nighttime routines are super, duper important. And I'm going to show you mine first. I want to tell you that I do have a number system here on this channel. I'll put a number on the screen. And then you can go down into the description box and shop the corresponding product that was on the screen that I was talking to you about with the links and any other information you might need about that particular product will be there. Let's put this mess of a main up first so we don't get any of our hair in with all of this. Now, if you haven't seen my morning routine, pause this video right now. And I will hopefully put up a card right here, right here, wherever they go. And you'll be able to see what my morning routine is. But it was only three or four videos back. So just go look through my videos and find that one from a couple of videos back. Okay, I have to have my glasses. So this is the Juno Skin Clean 10 Cleansing Balm. This is so good. This is from Juno and Company or Juno Company or whatever it's called. I really like this. It is not very expensive. I'm pretty sure that it's coconut based, but the fragrance is like a little bit of a lemon. I'm pretty liberal with this because I wear a lot of makeup. And by the way, this is not the end of the day makeup. This is makeup that I slapped on just for this video. So there's how much I use of it. This one and the Good Molecules, I'll link both of those for you because honestly, wow, wow, I love both of them and they both do the job so good. So there's how much. Da, da, da. And then I'm just gonna warm it. I wanna warm it really good in my hands. And then just start the magic and let's just take all this crap off. What I do want you to remember is that it's okay to use a little bit of pressure here on your eyes, but don't go crazy. I am going pretty quickly back and forth. Got a hair on my lip. I am going pretty quickly back and forth, but I'm hardly putting any pressure on my eyes right here. And look how good that did. Wow, isn't that great? What I next wanna tell you is this towel. It's wet right now, but these are my microfiber cleansing cloths for my face. And there is no way I could live without these. I think they come in a pack of six and they're about $7 or $8 and they are the magic. And they just take everything off when nothing else will. So I didn't use a waterproof mascara. I probably should have tried to use a waterproof mascara so you could see how good this cleansing balm does. But it is so good between this cloth and the cleansing balm. You have gotten your makeup taken off. Look at that clean face. Now look at this dirty towel. Holy moly, we did so good. All right, the next step is to take all of that oil off. So in order to take the balm off, I'm gonna use the Avino Positively Radiant Brightening Cleanser. And I've shown this to you a lot before on my channel, I just use one pump in my hand and it's a big bottle and it goes long ways and it's inexpensive. You know what I figure about cleansers is that you don't need to spend a ton of money on cleanser because you wash it off anyway, it doesn't stay on your face. Now all I do is just go over and get all that junk off at night. The serums that I want to be the star of the show for me is number one, vitamin A, which is Retin-A or Trentonine. And I can't use the prescription one. It's just too harsh for me. This one just stole my heart. And this is so gentle, but love, love, love the effects of it. This is from Naturium. This is the Retinaldehyde Cream Serum 0.1%, 0.10%. Now, most of the time when you get a prescription and you're starting off with Retin-A, you're getting 0.025, which is a quarter of the strength of this. However, it is the full-on vitamin A. Whereas this is one step over. You have vitamin A, which is the one that goes in, it does the collagen boosting, it's the one that can really penetrate the cells and it builds collagen back. It doesn't just sit on top of the skin, it goes down inside our skin and it starts to build collagen back. Collagen loss is what causes wrinkles and sagging skin and all that kind of stuff. And it makes us look older. So we wanna incorporate a Retin-A product into our regimen. Now, this is kind of along the lines of a serum cream type thing. And I am going to use this before I use any of my essences. It's because I want this to be my first line of defense against my wrinkles, my dark spots. There's two pumps for my neck and my chest. I want this to be my first line of defense for wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots, melasma, all of those things that we deal with as we age. We want Retin-A. Retin-A is our gold standard for helping us. Two more pumps, one, two. This one is for my face. And I love this. I noticed such a nice difference when I started using this. And definitely, definitely for me, this is a game changer. Naturium skincare, such great ingredients. And it was developed by a YouTuber and just amazing, amazing skincare. And I've loved everything that I've gotten. They're vitamin C for in the morning. I know I've talked about it in that other video, but they're vitamin C in the morning. It's a super C serum, Primo. Just absolute Primo. Now, I am just trying this one out on the behest of all of you lovely girlfriends that this is the Dermatology Medical Grade Skincare HPRI Cream. And I'm not even gonna try to say that, but this is also a Retin-A, the high product. But I do this one both night and day. I don't skimp on this one. So I'm gonna do like a half a pump. It's like a, maybe a small pea size on there because it's very light. And again, it's very airy and it's gonna go over and it's gonna cover everything. It's gonna sink in super quickly. And I am telling you these crow's feet that I have right here, they are much less noticeable since I've been using this. I've been using this for three weeks and I'm really enjoying it. It's all I got to say. It's been one of those ones that I'm like, this could definitely have a spot in my routine from now until eternity. Now, in all reality, you could just stop there, put your moisturizer on, be done for the night. That could be your four steps. And really when I started my skincare, that's what changed it the fastest. But of course, you know, this is what I do for a living. This is my job. And so I test out everything for you. I wanna bring you the best of the best. And I also want to go the extra mile. I wanna do the extra things in order to show you whether or not what everybody's talking about or what all the science-backed skincare is all about and whether or not it's really any good when it's used on a 55-year-old face. So my next step every single night, yes, I know it sounds like something else, but it's not. X Lash, it makes my eyelashes so long. And whenever anybody asks about the mascara that I'm wearing, I just say, you know what? It's not the mascara. It definitely is the formula that I use for an eyelash serum. And you can use this in your eyebrows if you want to. I don't because my eyebrows are weird anyway, but you could just brush them into there. And I have so many rogue hairs up there. I'm plucking enough as it is. I don't need more rogue hairs growing in. This is a definite mess for me in four to six weeks. You're gonna see lashes getting longer, more lashes. You're going to love what your lashes do. And I won't be without this. This is a double-sized tube of what you buy with everybody else normally. Six milliliters instead of three milliliters, which is what the, I think Grande lashes $100 for the three milliliters. This is $50 for double that amount. So really love that product. All right, the next thing that I do and this is nothing new for you all. Benton fermentation essence. It has bifida, galactomyces in it, and it has ceramides. Now, ceramides are just basically moisturizers, but this has a ton of galactomyces and bifida. Now, when you go and you look at Estee Lauder Night Repair and Lancome Genophique, those both have about 10% of bifida in them, no galactomyces. And this is full. I mean, this is the first ingredients on here are galactomyces and bifida. It's not like it's down the ingredient deck. This is amazing. This is my secret weapon. I feel like brightening, skin smoothing, elasticity, and just the overall appearance of pores being much, much more refined. So I'm pretty generous. I usually put three pumps into my hand. I don't use cotton rounds because I feel like you waste most of your product in the cotton round itself. So I'm just gonna pat this in. I even put it over my eyes. This is my Niacinamide. This is my pore refiner. The last time I did a skincare video, which was my morning skincare, had a million people say, what in your regimen is giving you such tight pores? And it's Niacinamide. Niacinamide is the most fantastic ingredient that you can get for pores because it flushes all the gunk out of them, the sebum, the dirt, all of the oils. It flushes them out. I've been using a Niacinamide toner for probably seven or eight years, and I can tell you right now, it's the reason that my pores are so tight and refined. This one is called Disappearing Act, Niacinamide PC pore vanish, micro purifying toner, and it's from Bliss. I also absolutely love the one from Good Molecules because it has like licorice root in it and a bunch of other things too that are so good for your skin. But I wanted to try different ones, so I am enjoying this one. Again, just in the hand, and we will make sure that we're putting it on our face. I put it on my eyelids. I put it all over my eyes or put it on my lips. I put it for sure down the neck, do the ears, and behind the ears go as far around your neck as you feel comfortable doing because your hairdresser sees the back of your neck, so. And then make sure that you do the back of your hands. If this doesn't work for you, if it doesn't work into your budget, if you don't like taking this kind of time, if it's something that you just feel like I can't imagine putting that much on your face, don't do it, do what works for you. And that is the bottom line that I wanna say with you. Please do what works for you. All right, last step on the eyes, the number seven new eye cream that is the Future Renew and this one is the Damage Reversal Eye Serum. Again, lovely, lovely serum. And I do use this one in the morning as well, which you saw in my morning routine. So good, just love it. I do feel like the number seven is got some amazing ingredients that are pretty cutting edge as far as what they do. You'll have to read up on this because they have done their research on this new Damage Reversal line. It's not called that, it's called Future Renew line and it's Damage Reversal Treatments that have a serum and moisturizer in this eye cream. Okay, moisturizer. We're at the second to last step unless you wanna do this other one, which lots of people don't like to do this other one. So I'm gonna give this to you as a if you want to at the very end. Sukuyaku Suhara Urea Moisture Cream. Now I have talked to you about the essence, I've talked to you about the eye cream and I've talked to you about this before but I haven't talked as in depth as I'm going to right now. Urea is the most hydrating product that I have ever found for my skin. I have super dehydrated, very, very dry skin. When I put my makeup on in the morning, it looks dewy and glowy and I feel like I haven't set it enough with powder. By the end of the day when I'm taking it off, it is a dry mess. I live in a climate that has less than 5% humidity in the air at any given time and lots of days it's 0% humidity. So we have no humidity whatsoever and then you turn the heat on in your house and it gets even drier. So this is my love, I love, love, love this. If you are a dry person, you're going to really love this. However, I do want to warn you, this is sticky. It will be there in the morning. You will be hydrated in the morning but it is a very sticky product and what I do with it is I just put my finger down in there and I'm going to roll it all the way around my eyes. Same on this side, I'm putting a lot on. Have you heard of slugging? This is pretty much what your slugging is. It's using a lot of product to lock in the moisture. The difference in doing this slugging and with this instead of petroleum jelly, all petroleum jelly does is sit on top of your skin. The urea cream will sink in and take all those serums that you just put on it with it and as it goes in, this is lovely. It is so hydrating. I could not live without this. I probably buy one of these a month because I do slug with it, which is over moisturizing. Putting more on than you know you need. Most of the time you use a pea size of everything. I probably put pea size, pea size, pea size, pea size. I'm probably a quarter size or more. I just love this stuff. This is my secret weapon. I adore it and I love to put this on my hands because my hands will be moisturized in the morning when I get out. I'm going to show you this. Please know backlash about this because I bought this before I did all my research. I did a bunch of research about castor oil and I bought this. It's in a brown bottle. You want a brown bottle, but this is a plastic bottle. You want a glass bottle because you don't want any of the plastic to seep into here. Seep into your castor oil. Castor oil is my last step if I want an extra day of just really, really helping my skin. Why? Because castor oil is one of those oils that it penetrates so deep. If you use castor oil anywhere on your skin, you're going to notice that what it's going to, it can break up fat cells. So it's the reason that everybody is saying use castor oil for cellulite. Besides the fact that this huge bottle cost me like $10 or so, you know, those creams that you get, like the La Mer cream, it's beautiful, but it's like $200, $300 for the big bottle of it. And this is 10 and it has the natural ingredients in it and it really, I cannot believe the difference. I'm noticing in my dark spot. I also use this to gua sha. And I showed this in a video, I'll link the gua sha video, I'll link the morning skincare routine, but this oil is amazing. This is probably the best I've felt with my skin. This also is so good for pain and joints. People are talking about their back pain going away, their stomach troubles going away, and it penetrates. This is one of those oils that penetrates all the way. All right, this is the end of the video. And yes, I know I probably have overwhelmed you, but you're always asking about these kinds of things. And yes, I talk a lot. So I'm going to be cutting this video down quite a bit. If you have any questions for me at all about any of these products, go ahead and list them in the comments and I will try to get to every single one of them. Sometimes it's a little hard, but I will try to get to all of your comments. And also if you have something in your skincare regimen that you really are enjoying and you just could possibly live with that, well you let me know about that because I did buy several of these on your recommendations and it just makes me so happy to be able to try them out and then share it with all our other girlfriends here on the channel.
