 Yo, what's up. Hello, widgets. My name is forever share today still can't pronounce that I've done several of these skin care routine vids in the past I'd like to think I'm a beauty guru minus the drama and controversies But what I've noticed from the majority of these routines on YouTube is that most of them don't explain what they're using and Why they're using it in this order and I consider myself a skincare Enthusiast I am in no way a professional or an expert. I did not study this in a four-year college I used Google and other videos on YouTube to help me figure out what's in skincare So unlike my other video I made just shading on beauty gurus today I wanted to actually give you guys a step-by-step routine that actually teaches you What's inside skincare and why music in this order and just show you my day and night time routines and by the Televideo you already know this I'm not gonna bullshit you and tell you to drink water and exercise and get eight hours of sleep And then you have this because I'm not your mother I'm your gay mom and spirit, but you do what you want to do to your body You're old enough to know to drink water This is lemon water by the way because vitamin C brightens up your skin Now as a guy, I found it very disheartening and confusing when I walked into a locker room all the time during middle and high school and I saw that Like 99% of boys use soap and water and wash their face with a dirty towel and magically had clear skin and me in eighth grade was basically this I always looked at my sister and what she was doing and I would copy her routine And then I started to learn online what skincare was so when I saw that a lot of guys were using head and shoulders As a cleanser I was very taken aback and I think it's stupid that there's a stigma that men who use skincare are presumably more feminine and less masculine like If you don't do skincare, I think you're not being smart and I feel like skincare is universal Just because you eat mcdonald's and you are naturally 120 pounds and five eight doesn't mean you are healthy And I think that applies the same way with skincare Just because you wash your skin one time a month in the shower doesn't necessarily mean you got good skin And this is forever because I don't plan on getting plastic surgery So I like to treat it well. So boys who make fun of me and other guys out there who use skincare You can laugh now, but I'll be laughing at you when you're 50 and you look 80 and I still look like this I may not believe me, but I actually listen to classical music while I'm doing my skincare sometimes because it's Long ish like a good 20 minutes sometimes and it gets boring. So I like to Judge it up by doing my skincare to the beat of classical music You'll see you'll see by the way, I know that none of this is sponsored But I wish it was because I had to buy all these products myself another thing I have oily skin best way to tell people oily skin if you use up more than two blotting sheets in the day You have oily skin. I don't want to hear anyone saying they have oily skin When all I got is like some shine above their brow and on the tip of their nose So I'm actually going to start with my night routine one because I forgot to do the morning routine And two I think it's good for you guys to know what it looked like in the morning So you can see the results actually happen. So I'm already prepared. I have a shirt That doesn't matter if it gets wet or some product on there last time I had a good shirt on it got stained So we're not doing that again I also have my hair pulled back because getting product Especially moisturizer in your hair leads to breakouts right on the hairline in my last video I used to use a hair band and don't worry. I still have one. It's just yellow this time So the first step I'm going to do is cleanse my face with this herbalism cleanser from lush This is honestly very weird if you're trying solid cleanser for the first time because What it's green kind of looks like ground up grass But what you're supposed to do is put a little doll up in your hand Mix some water with it to make it into a paste and you scrub that over your face And the reason why I like this one lately is because it has chamomile and rosemary in it to soothe my skin The scent from this helps me fall asleep because it's just soothing and it has ground almonds for a natural exfoliant And don't worry that will not put micro tears into your skin unlike highly generous Generally, I don't like to use harsh fragrances. I don't feel the need to have my Skincare be good sensing because if you have sensitive skin fragrance is really bad for you And now it's time to begin my skincare playlist So when you're scrubbing your face you typically want to do upward motions because gravity Is a thing that's real flat earthers. Pulls your skin down. So you want to push it back up You don't need to accelerate the process of your skin drooping down and looking old And some of you who are older than me are probably thinking why are you being this extra when you're only 18? Well I don't know. I think it's really fun doing skincare and I would rather start early than start too late So once you're done washing your face with warm or cold water I typically use warm. What I don't do is leave the tap on because that You want to tap your face or just push upwards slightly Last thing you want to do is rub your face because it's sort of like Rubbing wet tissue paper. This is your skin. This is your skin when it's wet Not a good thing, right? I know that was very dramaticized, but it's the same thing You're going to get wrinkles eventually if you just I used to do that because I thought I needed to really scrub my face, but Then I realized I started breaking out because of that. All right My next step is to use a toner. By the way, everything I use is cruelty free just because that's a personal choice So I use this Thiers witch hazel toner. This is very popular amongst everyone and just you know every item I use will be linked In the description and hopefully in order if Frederick remembers to do that. Normally people apply this with a cotton pad I don't believe in that one the cheap Asian in me thinks it's a waste of product So I typically just tap it right on my face because you want it to be as direct as possible Now the purpose of a toner is to balance your pH to the natural level that skin should be Typically you want it to be between 4 and 6.5. I think I'm gonna double check that but just continue the playlist And you want every layer on your skin to dry first before you put the next layer on because then you're just mixing up layers It's kind of like a cake. You don't want marbled cake. You want many layers If you want me to make a video of just No talking because my voice is annoying and only classical music. I'll do it. You watch me Someone make that comment and I'll pin it. Okay. Something you've heard a lot probably is that you want to layer your products from Thickness to thickest. That's just because you want the most active ingredients getting to your skin first and then putting moisturizer on top To seal it in but before I put any actual Moisturizers and serums on I use a derma roller trust me. It looks much scarier in person Basically, there's a lot of tiny needles on here that you roll across your face The best way I can explain this is if you've seen kim kardashians bloody face Like that video of her getting a facial and her skin is just red after this is sort of the same thing except less expensive and extreme The idea is to poke miniature Microscopic holes into your skin in order to trick it Into making new skin aka more collagen if you don't know what collagen is basically it's the most abundant protein in skin So it's just making new skin for you and you mainly want to roll this over your scars I typically have scars around here just from past breakouts. My skin is much better now. Like I have gone a month without having a pimple And that's not me bragging that's me proud of being able to get there because usually I have breakouts Especially during the school year just because of stress I get stress acne very easily if I eat one piece of cheesecake I get two acne pimples and they stay without paying rent for months and when they leave they don't pack up everything They leave their shit in the apartment and I end up with some scars So if you roll this over your scars, it'll basically create new skin there much more faster I wouldn't recommend this for sensitive skin because that could lead to even worse things My skin isn't sensitive at all. I can handle A beating and still survive, but you want to roll it in like three different directions I typically just do horizontally vertically and diagonally and then continue my playlist Extra by the way, if you're not sure how your skin will react get the smallest size first 0.25 millimeters The smallest as I think and try it like one to two times a week And if your skin can handle that add more and more days until you can do it daily like me This video isn't meant to push products to you and make you use them because I get it Everyone's skin is different. I'm not going to tell you that these work for everyone I'm going to just say they work for me But it doesn't mean you can't find products similar to these like everyone is going to have a moisturizer and a cleanser By the way, you want to clean your derma roller every now and then by just putting it in some isopropyl alcohol for like 30 seconds I'm washing him a water first. I take a serum. This is a vitamin c and hyaluronic acid serum hyaluronic acid is a humectant that basically Preserves moisture. It helps retain moisture. That's the word vitamin c is for brightening your skin and evening your skin tone Vitamin c is an active ingredient. So is hyaluronic acid and they in a way oxidize when exposed to air and light Which is why when you take them out, they begin reacting on your face. So it kind of tingles sometimes So if you ever see a product that says as vitamin c or hyaluronic acid or retinol And it's in a clear bottle double check if it actually works because I highly doubt it would Storing those ingredients at a dark bottle keeps it active longer and before it, you know Activates all the way and oxidized ingredients can also do harm to your skin. So be careful So after that I take a retinol cream This isn't known for younger people really because it's more suited for like Older people because it's for anti-aging and Derinkling but it is also used for acne, which is why I bought it and it does work for me There's many types of retinol. There's retinol oils and creams Which is the one I have and it may look like a moisturizer, but it's actually not it's kind of drying sometimes So I would not use it as your actual moisturizer And by the way, vitamin c and retinol are very active ingredients. So putting both on is risky But the vitamin c and retinol aren't that strong. They're diluted with other things I don't recommend using both because it's very tingly Oh, I haven't even said this yet, but sometimes I use face masks You want to do that after cleansing and before toning if you have acne prone skin I really recommend the yes to masks. They're very tingly and sometimes hurts But that's when you know it's working and it also says it will tangle on the box So I'm not being crazy. Basically if you have sensitive skin, this video is not for you Now it may sound weird, but I'm actually using a facial oil next. This is I don't know the name of it, but I will say it right here It's from Lush and it's a solid facial oil and I know it sounds crazy Like why are you putting more oil when you have oily skin? I used to think the same thing when I was younger So I would never use moisturizer because I was like, I already have oily skin Little did I know that putting more oil prevents your skin from producing oil in the first place And I heard about this and I didn't believe it, but eventually I caved and tried it and it actually works great This is the most lightweight one from Lush because I'm still paranoid about using big facial oils And this is infused with spirulina, which is an algae that is known for being an antioxidant And it disappears right into my skin. So it doesn't even feel oily I also put a little bit over my eyes because I don't use an eye cream when you have oily skin You don't need more you just need regular moisturizer because I think eye cream is overrated moisturizer in my opinion So my final step is this album botanica even advanced night cream You don't even use too much because you just use an oil By the way, some of these items are a little more expensive than others But I think it's worth it to splurge a little on skincare because like you're trying to take care of your body Now sometimes I'll use this drying lotion. You've seen it before luckily. I don't have much I need to put on right now if you watch my first video I use a slathered on like a maniac and joke about it until I realize that dry my skin out a lot And that's really not good for you. So try to keep it to a minimum This is a minimum for me and the final step which I think is so extra Even to this day the infamous mario vadesco facial sprays This has an infusion of calming botanicals and lavender essential water Do I think you need this? Absolutely not. Does it feel great? Yes. Does it smell good? Yes And I use lavender because lavender is known for helping you fall asleep. So that's primarily why it also feels good Which is another reason why Oh, it's in my eye And that's all for my night time routine. So I'm going to go to sleep I will see you in the morning and I will show you what my skin looks like Okay, it is now morning time. I don't know if you can tell but My skin isn't a mess. There's not an excess of oil My drying lotions stayed in tech for the most part and by the way, if you find that after using this It kind of rubs off in the morning try to figure out how to not move your face into your pillow so much But I'm going to take a shower and I'm going to go ahead and cleanse and shave my face while I'm in there So I'll be right back Wow, I look bald. Okay. I took a shower and then I tied my hair up in the ponytail again Basically, this is sort of the same step. I'm not going to explain too much of it I'm going to take my toner then my serum and then my red cream I know that some people use the cotton pad during toner to act as an exfoliant But the thing is my cleanser also acts as an exfoliant. So I don't feel the need to use more and also I want to save that product this cost money This may sound crazy to people but I am going to go in with my facial oil Just a little bit. I'm going to go crazy here But this does not work for everyone. So proceed with caution when you try it It's just showers tend to dry my skin a lot because I'm using hot water And my daily moisturizer is not that moisturizing and you'll see in a second All right, so I use a sunscreen as my daily moisturizer. This is sunbum face 50 It says it's lightweight and oil free and that is true This is the one sunscreen that my face can handle without Becoming an oil spill. It's oxybenzone free, which if you don't know oxybenzone is harmful to coral And your skin because it messes with your endocrine system, which basically means guys You'll have even less testosterone than you already have but it's very watery. So I don't need too much Everyone says you have to reapply your sunscreen after two hours I don't do that because this is technically a physical sunscreen unless I wipe it off I don't need to and for me at least it does not leave that white cast over my face I can't speak for anyone a darker skin tone I would go to Jackie Aina if you would want to know a good sunscreen for you But sunscreen is very important because you don't want to get skin cancer To make sure it blocks UVA and UVB rays don't know the difference. Um UVB blocks burns and UVA prevents Acne I think all right. Well, that is my skincare routine I hope this actually helped you guys last thing I expect from myself is to create an educational video But if you enjoyed give it a like leave a comment down below and subscribe for more videos every saturday I'm not going to read a coming out story because that is what I do at the end of every video Don't know why it's because I want to inspire you guys to be authentic. Okay. This is a shorter one But as always I keep the name anonymous I came out to all my friends after like two and a half years Then I thought screw it and told my brother I freaked out and told him I was joking and after watching you I was like screwed again and really told him. Well, I hope he reacted well But that is all I have for today and as always I love you guys and everything is less than three
