All right So the basics of a skin care regimen would be number one to make sure you're cleansed Number two to make sure that you're moisturized and number three to make sure that you're protected So let's start off with cleansing first thing you want to do, of course If it's nighttime and you have a full face of makeup on you're gonna want to take that makeup off And I have two options for everything in here you guys And that's because I want to give you options as far as where you shop or where you might be able to buy these things at There are things that you can go up and pick up in the drugstore as well But these are mostly online products just so you know that okay, so this one right here is from Hada Lobo I can't say they're parent company. I want to say it's roto or something like that Anyway, it is their cleansing oil and I love this stuff you guys This is a thinner consistency So you get it on your eyes and it just takes everything off really really quickly So if you wear a lot of waterproof makeup or you have a lot of Problems with making sure you get your mascara off and all that I would recommend this This is definitely one that I have repurchased again And I will continue to repurchase because I just think it's a great price point But also the product is so good I always like to tell people when things have fragrance This does not have a fragrance in it at all So that is a wonderful cleansing oil and you get a ton there and it's gonna last you a long time And then the other one that I'm absolutely hooked on right now is from good molecules This is the instant cleansing balm and inside of here There's just a white balm that you use some you put it in between your fingers warm it up and take off your makeup And you guys it's so good now this one This one kind of smells a little bit like baby oil just a hint of that So it does have a little bit of fragrance in it So if that bothers you keep that in mind, but this is like my fourth one of these I just really love these I used to buy the Clinique take the day off and I think Neutrogena might have a balm I'm not exactly sure about the Neutrogena one It was Neutrogena or almi that I used to buy But I switched over to this not only because it's a good size but also because I really do like good molecules I think they have great ingredients and this does the job so well of just taking that makeup off in an instant Now we're gonna switch over to actually cleansing the skin making sure this skin is completely clean After you've done your makeup removal you want to take off all that oil that you just used and you want to do it with The good cleanser I have two one that you can use in the morning if you want to Actually either of these you can use in the morning and night no matter what you want to now This one right here is from open formula and it is the glycolic 10% glycolic acid cleanser It just really helps with Sloughing the dead skin in the morning and you know really getting all of the extras off that you've had on overnight And I really enjoyed doing this in the morning to get my skin really prepared for anything I'm gonna be putting on up my serums my moisturizer It just really seems to really cleanse that skin really well and does help with the removal of dead skin as well And then this one is another one from Hada Lobo And this is the gentle hydrating cleanser with hyaluronic acid and this one is fragrance free and again Let me make sure that this one from open formula has doesn't have a fragrance This one doesn't have a particular fragrance. It does smell like glycolic the glycolic acid though So yeah, I can't tell that that's in there but other than that there is not a fragrance in it at all now The Hada Lobo one I don't know if any of you have ever tried some of the powder Exfoliators that you get from like good molecules or derma derma Or dermatology I think that's how you say that anyway those powder Exfoliators they smell like this which tells me that there's an ingredient in there That does help exfoliate a little bit But if you have very dry skin this one in particular is not going to strip your skin of all your natural oils So you're not going to be left feeling dry This one does have a tendency to take off the extra oil So depending on where you're at is which one you might want to purchase for yourself So at night we've taken off our makeup and we've done our cleansing to get our skin ready for anything That we're gonna put on it the serums or anything like that But I don't I'm not gonna go over any of those because that's in another video for you guys with the other gals But what I'm gonna go over now is moisturizer and moisturizing is so important because in the morning You're gonna need that moisture to plump up your skin to make it look really good for makeup And that is one of the key factors in making your makeup look really good is that plumping and then at night You're gonna need to lock in all those yummy ingredients that you have and make sure that you have all of those Set in so that they can overnight do their job and they're not just going to waste away in the air So I do have three of these and I know this is not a very popular Opinion as far as a lot of people go but because I have mature skin and because I find that my makeup can very easily Get cakey because I have dry skin I do go in with the suko yakuza hot-up urea moisture lotion now Interestingly enough. I did learn about this from penny off of pence miss skin cares channel But since that probably two years or more. I have been absolutely hooked on this product I repurchased it over and over again and you guys have heard me talk about it until you're probably sick to death of me talking About it, but this is so very good So no matter what I do in the morning This is my last step and even though this is not an occlusive Moisturizer meaning that is more of an essence It is really good at keeping me hydrated throughout the whole entire day And I just find that for me it does the trick fantastic and doesn't put down that extra layer Now I will say that if you don't like the idea of doing the lotion in the morning I really do like the elf. Hello hydration This one is a really good one that sinks in very quickly And it is a little bit thicker of a formula But at the same time it just really does the trick really well as far as Moisturizing my skin and locking everything in and making my skin just feel very very hydrated Personally again, I am one that if I'm doing a full makeup day I like the other one that is the essence because it just is a very thin layer But this one will do the job very well too and especially if you're not keen on using an essence as your last moisture This one is fantastic and it gives really hydrated feel to my skin and then at night for myself I use a lot of different Serums and I put those serums on and then after all of that I'm gonna use the suko yakuza Hada cream This one is very thick very balm like so if you're somebody that has oily skin I would say that you're not gonna like this one But for me and because in the morning I can wake up if I haven't put something like this on that is a really Sturdy heavy cream if I haven't put this on I'm gonna find that my forehead is super dry My around my eyes is super dry. My lips are super dry my chest I just love this because I can put it on in a very thin layer. It lasts me a really long time I mean an extremely thin layer and then in the morning I'm going to still have very hydrated eyes and forehead and face Because it has locked everything in and it itself is a fantastic Moisturizer, so I would say an absolute on that one. I do want to touch on very quickly about SPF's. I Used in this in the winter time. I used the skin aqua UV super moisture milk. It comes in a blue one. This is the white one This is the essence the one that is the super moisture milk I will throw up a little picture for you here I do find that that one is fantastic for me in the winter But because my skin is changing so quickly with menopause and I sweat so much I am really noticing that I need something that is much lighter than that one. This one is really good This does have a bit of alcohol in it But it sinks into the skin super quickly and I am finding that it doesn't dry me out extremely I have tried several recently that had titanium dioxide in them I do love the Australian gold one that is the tinted moisture and I think that one is fantastic I will list that one below and show you guys that right here, too as well All of these right here. I feel like are just fabulous 50 SPF in this one 50 SPF in those two as well. Just want to make sure that you guys know exactly what you're getting into now On the fragrance. I don't notice any fragrance on this one or the other one that is the moisture I do know that the Australian gold is fantastic For so many people and that I used it on my arms and up my neck and everything I just couldn't use it on my face. It was a little bit too heavy for that But I do know that that is a favorite of a lot of people just to wear on its own because it does have a little bit of a tint in it and now you can get it in a few different colors, which is really cool, too So that is everything you guys know that I went over these a little bit faster But I didn't want to keep you guys for very long because I want to get you right over to Melanie's video and then over to Penny's video Thank you guys so much for tuning in to me today I hope that you do enjoy those other two gals and make sure that if you're new here that you let me know That in the comment section below.
