 Hi, YouTube family. I hope that you are all doing good today. I decided that I was going to bring you a video all about exfoliants or peels. Um, the reason I wanted to do this is because there is such an overwhelming amount of this kind of stuff on the market. I just wanted to show you kind of what I use. Um, and then you can decide for yourself what works best for you because you do know your own skin. You know how that will react to everything. And I just really wanted to show you what I have at different price points so that you can kind of decide what would work best for your skin. Okay. The first thing I want to say is that polish choice, which is an absolute wonderful skincare brand Paula believes wholeheartedly that you should never use any sort of a scrub on your face. The, the little exfoliant beads, she believes that she believes that you should never use anything more than a wash rag in order to, um, exfoliate your skin. Now that being said, I'm not really super in agreement with that because all of the retinols that I use on my face, I have a lot of dead skin. And if I don't use a little bit of a scrub a couple of times a week, then my makeup's going to look not very good throughout the day. So I'm just going to show you some of the things that I have and that I do. The number one is dermae anti-wrinkle toner, vitamin A and glycolic acid. I use this every single day to help the skin that is sloughing turnover. And I use it at night. And, um, I just, it's the thing that I use right after my cleanser if I'm not doing a ret, if I'm not doing a retin A program that night, this is exactly what I use right after my cleanser in order for it to seep into the skin and help with the skin, with the turnover of your skin. A glycolic toner really is helpful in, um, not being too harsh, but still giving you that dead skin turnover and sloughing off the dead skin. This one is from the Niyad and that is a company that is under DCM and it's called Sandskirt's Opponents. I'm hoping I'm saying that right. What this is, is it's actually a cleanser that you use after you've taken your makeup off. You can use it in the morning too, if you like to. But what this really does is unclogs your pores big time. And, you know, lots of times, even though we take our makeup off and then we may use a glycolic toner or something like that, we can still get a lot of sebum, which is dead skin cells and dirt and that kind of stuff built up into our pores that even just the normal exfoliants can't get. So what this is recommended to use two or three times a week, I actually won a box of stuff from DCM, which I was absolutely shocked out, by the way. Love you DCM and I will continue to support you. But I got this as in that box. I would probably have never bought it because I would just have never even known what it was for or anything, but I'm really enjoying having this. I do feel like my pores clean out a lot better and I really do enjoy it. So if you're looking for something, if you feel like you have clogged pores, you're looking for something to unclog your pores, this is a good one, you guys. And I do really like having that. Okay. From the ordinary, this is AHA and BHA peeling solution. This stuff, you guys, this stuff is good, but you have to be really careful if you have sensitive skin. You can't leave this on for very long. Now you're supposed to leave it on for 10 minutes and see how much of my bottle I have left. I mean, it's like right down to here. I've never been able to leave it on for 10 minutes because it gets to itching. And I can tell sometimes it burns a little bit and I can tell that it's too much. And I don't have sensitive skin, but this will work. This does the job fantastic. It will turn those dead skin cells over and your retinae will work so much better. You know, retinae isn't about cell turnover. Retinae is about going in deep into the skin and building collagen. So basically what it does is that once it builds the collagen, then you're left with the dead skin layer on top that you need to slough off. So this is really, really good in helping with that. But please be careful and use this responsibly and don't, you know, burn your face with it. Do not ever leave it on longer than 10 minutes and make sure that it's completely rinsed off of your face before you use any of your other skin care. Now we're going to talk a little bit about actual exfoliants that have grit in them. This one and we're going to go from the most expensive to the least expensive. This is from Dr. Brent and it's called poor dermabrasion and it's poor perfecting exfoliator. And this is again, it is supposed to go in and clean out your pores. And it does a really good job of it. I mean, the granules in this are just so fine and they're just so tiny. And and yet it does a really, really good job of doing its, you know, taking everything out of the pores and and doing that exfoliation. So yes, I really do like this. This one also came in a boxy charm. I would never be able to purchase this on my own. It is extremely expensive. So but yeah, if you're looking for something on the high end that definitely does the exfoliating, that's a good one. This one is also kind of high end. This is the micro delivery wash from Philosophy. And it is an exfoliator and it has about the same grit consistency as the Dr. Brent one could get these on QVC and like the Mac Daddy, the Big Daddy, you know, sizes that saves you a lot of money if you're looking for this. As far as what it does, what it says it's going to do, it is. It's fantastic. You get a little bit of that lather from it that, you know, when you lather up soap, you get a little bit of that as a wash, which is really nice to be able to take any extra makeup off that you might have left. But yeah, this has almost the same consistency, but it's more of a wash. And I do like that one, too. OK, this one is the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Daily Scrub. This is actually a cleanser almost. And the only thing is, is that it does have the beads in them. These are a little bit bigger. But I do find that even though the beads in it are a little bit thicker, they still are really they're not irritating at all. They're not like really harsh. There is a product from St. Ives that is an apricot scrub. I would never recommend that to anybody because that is so like gritty. And I just think that tears your skin up. You know, you micro tears on your skin and then you set yourself up for pimples or, you know, just your skin not looking pretty. So I wouldn't recommend that one. But this one is a really good one. And yes, I would repurchase this again and I'm almost out. But it just really boosts your radiance. It boosts the softness of your skin. It says that it has white tea and vitamin E in it. I really do like that. It does leave your skin really soft. And I really did like this one, too. OK, last product, this is a two step system. Now, the reason that I found this is because philosophy has a vitamin C treatment that is a two step system that I absolutely love, but I can't afford. This is like an instant vitamin C peel. OK, and it's a two step program. So this right here, I love the smell of it. Smells like vitamin C. This right here is what you put on first and this is really, really gritty. So you don't like rub your face really hard with it because it's just a little bit too harsh to do that. But you put this all over your face and, you know, let it sink in for a couple of minutes and, you know, just let it sit there. This is the vitamin C part. And then this little bottle right here is the activator and you pour that into your hand and you start rubbing it on top of what you just put down in this. And it like starts to foam up and warm. It doesn't get hot. It just warms and then all of those granules, those fine granules begin to dissolve and this is such a fantastic peel. If you are having a day when your skin, you just feel like my skin, something's wrong with it, lackluster, whatever. You can use this at night and the next day, I swear to you, the next day, your skin will feel so good. So I just really love this one. I would highly recommend this one, especially if you're somebody that has acne prone skin, you don't want to irritate your skin more. Even though it is this is a scrub, you're not like scrubbing it, you're just laying it across your skin, distributing it evenly. Like I said, and then use the activator and all of that dissolves into your skin and just makes it super, super smooth. So that is everything that I have for today's video. This to me is one of my favorite videos is when I start talking about skin care. I love skin care and I love everything about it and I love finding new things. I love bringing those things to you and I hope that you will. Please give it a thumbs up if you like these kinds of skin care videos too, especially when I break down the skin care from one thing to another, instead of just giving you like a skin care video that I walk through. So that's it, you guys, you have a wonderful, fabulous day. I love you all and I will see everyone of you in my next video. Bye, you guys.
