My Korean 10 Step Skin Care Routine (OilyAcne Skin) ENG SUBAnna Luisa

Hello everyone! How are you? This is Luisa. On today's video, I am going to be sharing
with you my 10-Step Korean skin care routine. This is a long awaited video. I planned this video for such a long time.

I didn't want to upload a video just because
I wanted to upload it. Of course, I wanted to upload videos of quality. That's why I really tried testing out this
Korean 10-Step skin care routine for months and months because I have oily, acne prone
sensitive skin. I can't incorporate all of the products at
the same time.

So it took me a while. I think I started contemplating on doing the
10-Step Korean skin care routine around March and I'm only doing the video now because I
am only able to really incorporate everything recently. And that I have tried and tested it for quite
some time. So I'm really excited to share this one with
you.

I'll try to keep it short. But I can't really tell how talkative I'm
gonna get. Don't forget to grab some snacks. So that you have something to eat while watching
this video.

If you have any questions, leave them all
in the comment section down below. And I will be happy to answer all of them. And just for your reference, I have oily,
acne prone, sensitive skin. So the first step in the 10-Step Korean skin
care routine is of course, removing your makeup.

Korean skin care routine is known for double
cleansing. They either remove their makeup using a cleansing
water or an oil based makeup remover. Now, this step I usually only do at night. Because I feel like I don't really need double
cleansing in the morning.

However, some people claim that double cleansing
can also benefit you if you do it during the day. But personally, I don't do it during the day. But for the purpose of this video, I did it. So usually when I don't wear makeup, I still
do double cleansing but the one that I use is cleansing water.

And the cleansing water that I am currently
using right now is The Saem Healing Tea Garden Tea Tree Cleansing Water. This would be my second bottle of this particular
cleansing water. The first one that I used was in the Green
Tea variant. And the second one is this one right here,
the Tea Tree variant.

Both are good products. Before this is also what I use to remove my
makeup but I stopped using it because I started wearing waterproof makeup. This cannot remove waterproof makeup especially
the Etude House Curl Fix Mascara. It cannot remove that one.

That is why I just opted to use this whenever
I don't wear makeup to remove excess oil and dirt on my face. On days when I wear makeup, I use this Heimish
All Clean Balm. This is an oil based makeup remover. I have a full review of this one during my
K-BEAUTY week, I will be placing the link down in the description bar and somewhere
in the card up there.

Basically this is a solid oil based makeup
remover. It is solid at first but once you get some
and spread it on your face, it turns into an oil. And it removes everything. Everything on your face- dirt, oil, makeup,
waterproof mascara, including the Curl Fix mascara of Etude House plus the Heroine Make
mascara, it removes all of that.

It really performs well. Now, for the second part of the double cleansing,
this would be step 2. I use cleansing gel foams. Now, there are different types of cleansing
foams you can use for the step 2.

You can use cream foam, you can also use mousse
type cleansers but personally what works best for my skin type are gel foams because gel
products tend to mesh well with my skin type. As I've said, I have oily, acne prone sensitive
skin. If I try and use cream foams or other forms of foaming cleansers, I tend to breakout. So I only use gel foams.

I have 2 to share with you because one, I
use during the day time and the other one, I use at night. So my daytime cleanser is the Low PH Good
Morning Cleanser from COSRX. This is very good. It also smells like tea tree oil so if you
don't like that smell, stay away from it but if you, oh my goodness you will love this.

This is very light on the face. It's not stripping (of moisture) at all. It also lathers up (not so much). The one I use at night, however, is this Aloe
Vera Soothing and Moisture Cleansing Gel Foam.

This is included in my favorite skin care
line from Nature Republic and I use it at night. It smells like typical Aloe Vera. Are you familiar with the Aloe Vera gel from
Nature Republic? It smells exactly like that. And it's really good.

For me, it's really good. I like it because it's also not stripping
and I only use it at night. I honestly don't know why I bought 2 (cleansers). But I just thought it might be good to have
a variety of products (to use) on my face.

That is why I use this one. It also works almost the same as this one. The COSRX however, once dispensed has a smoother
gel consistency, almost water like. Whereas the Nature Republic has a thicker
gel formula.

But both are good products. They don't strip off the moisture out of your
face and it cleanses the face very well. On days when I wear makeup, I sometimes use
a sponge to help cleanse the face completely or recently, I have been using this. This the No.

7 Cleansing Face Brush and it's
just a battery operated, spinning cleansing brush. It looks like the typical cleansing brushes
from Vanity Planet. It's not like the Clairsonic because the Clairsonic
is more of a vibration but this is the type that spins. The next step would have to be exfoliation.

Now, this part, I don't really do every single
day. But to be honest, I only do it once a week. So once a week is enough for me. I don't want to overly exfoliate my face.

Especially since I do physical exfoliation
most of the time. But I'll give you some options on what you
can use to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliating is very important so you can scrub
off the dead skin cells on your face. Soemtimes, especially when you use AHAs and
BHAs, they remove the dead skin cells but I feel like they don't completely get sloughed
off your face.

Sometims, I feel like its what causes breakouts. Because dead skin cells get trapped on the
surface of the skin and clog pores. So it is very important to exfoliate the skin. For me, once a week is enough.

And most of the time, I use this product right
here. This is the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash
Off. Just as it says, it is a wash off sugar mask. And what I do is while my skin is still wet
from cleansing, I apply it all over my face.

That lessens the abrasiveness of the sugar
mask. Because that's one of the things other people
don't like about this product. They say it can be abrasive and not good for
sensitive skin. But for me, I have sensitive skin, and this
one has never caused me any problems.

Because I read the instructions. It says right here that if it is too abrasive
for your liking, you can put toner or water. So what I do is while my face is still wet,
I use this one and lather it on my face. This smells so good.

It has like a citrus scent. When you apply
this on your face initially, you will feel the scrubs but as you lather it all over your
face, it slowly melts. After that, you leave it on for 10-15 minutes
on your face before rinsing it off. After that, it leaves the face super soft
and I really like using this as my physical exfoliator.

Sometimes, I don't have time to use physical
exfoliators especially since I usually have to wait 10-15 minutes like a treatment for
this one. So when I don't have time, I use this particular
product right here. This is the Missha D-Tox Peeling Gel. I actually have a full first impression on
this particular product.

It reminds me of that product from iWhite,
the 2 Minute Miracle something. When you rub it on your skin, it forms particles. It's hard to show you but you can feel that
it gets rough. And those particles gets removed.

I guess you can say this is a form of a chemical/physical
exfoliant. It works best when you massage it on your
face. This (Missha) is a little milder than tis
one (Skinfood) in theory but Skinfood leaves my skin a lot softer which is why I prefer
it. I just thought I'd mention this one because
I also use it.

So far, it hasn't broken me out. So after exfoliating the skin, my skin is
definitely ready to absorb all that products that I am going to be applying on my face. I will be moving on to the 4th step, which
is toning my face. Now, just like my cleansers, I have 2 toners
that I use on a daily basis.

The first one is the Nature Republic Soothing
and Moisture Aloe Vera 90% Toner. And like I said, this is form the same line
of my favorite skin care line from Nature Republic. It has the same scent with the soothing gel
but it is in toner form. It's very mild, I just apply this using my
hands.

This is the product that I used for the demo
because it was daytime (when I filmed this) and it's very cooling and refreshing. It just leaves your skin feeling soft. It's not like previous toners I've tried which
dries out the skin. Even though you have oily skin, you shouldn't
strip your skin of it's natural oils.

Because when you do that, it triggers our
oil glands to produce more oil because it thinks your skin is dry and it compensates
by producing more oil to fight dryness. There must be balance so that your skin doesn't
get confused. Anyway, I really like this one. I'm halfway through this bottle.

This one is also perfect for doing the 7 Skin
Method. (Someone commented that this isn't a good
product for that method because it contains alcohol. Pleae be aware.) If you guys haven't seen that video yet, I
did a full video regarding 7 Skin Method. It's a Korean skin care trend.

I will just place the link over there and
down in the description bar. I have no time to discuss it but basically
you layer your toner 7 times, the reasons and benefits, you will be able to see on that
video. Now, at night time, I use a "stronger" toner. I use a toner that is specially made for acne
prone skin.

I like using this one. This is the Natural BHA Skin Returning A Sol. I'm not sure if you guys are aware, BHA is
really good for acne prone skin. It goes deep into the layers of your skin.

That is why it helps heal breakouts. The great thing about this product is even
though it has BHA, it doesn't sting the skin. And at the same time, it isn't drying afterwards. I used to like the Eskinol toner.

I used to use it on my face. However, that one can be very stripping. This one, isn't. The scent, however, is a little bit alcohol-like.

It doesn't feel like alcohol on the skin and
I really like this one to use at night. Next after toning, 5th step would have to
be essence. The essence that I have with me right now
is the Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence. This is their intensive moist variant.

This essence is really good. It contains niacinamide so it helps fade dark
spots. Basically, essence is the core of the Korean
skin care routine. With essence, you can use a product that targets
you specific skin needs.

As for me, even though I still breakout, my
major concern at the moment are my hyperpigmentations because I have a lot of it. Over the past few months, my skin has improved
so I just felt like I had to remove my dark spots. So far, it's doing me good. I can't say it has completely faded the dark
spots but it's a good addition to my skin care routine.

It adds to the moisture on the face.It's very
easy to apply. I only use my hands to pat it on my face. And one tip is whatever goes on your face,
put it on your neck as well. Because it's difficult if you neglect your
neck.

Your facial skin may be good, but if you leave
out your neck, it might not look good. So make sure to use products for your neck
as well. After essence, I use a serum or ampule. So this is the Centella Blemish Ampule from
COSRX.

I have a full review of this one complete
with check ins and all that. So if you guys are interested, I will be placing
a link down in the description bar and on the card over there. Basically, I apply this after essence or sometimes,
I just skip the essence and go straight to ampule.I feel like as long as I have a treatment
product in my skin care routine, I'm good. Sometimes, I just use essence and sometimes,
I just use ampule.

But there are also time when I use both. Whenever I use both, I use the essence first,
then ampule. This one is really good for acne prone skin. I feel like it helps a lot especially since
ampules are made to sink deeper into your skin.

It's really good to use it especially when
you exfoliate your skin. The skin care products you apply will definitely
be absorbed better by your skin. After ampule, you can go straight to your
moisturizer. And the moisturizer that I'm currently using,
and I've been using this for the past 3 or 4 years, this is the Nature Republic Soothing
and Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel.

This has really changed my skin care game. I was using different moisturizers before
this and I noticed that I really do get a lot of breakouts and I get small bumps here
and there. After I started using this, I noticed that
the small bumps has been minimized. The small bumps on my forehead and on my face
has gone.

Whenever I would break out, it would only
be the ones underneath the skin, cystic ones, caused by hormonal imbalance. But on the surface bumps were removed by this
product. I told myself that for as long as Nature Republic
is still releasing this product, this would be the only moisturizer that I'm going to
use because it works for me. It's very light.

I can use it all year round. Even though we have winter here, and this
is a lightweight moisturizer, perfect for spring and summer, it feels like water when
you apply it, but during winter time, I can use both essence and serum so I feel like
my skin will still be well moisturized while using this. I don't feel the need to change this. I can use it all year round, all seasons,
and it just never breaks me out.

In fact, it improved my skin tremendously. And I know that there are a lot of brands
that copied this one. But I just never tried them because I know
that this already works well for me and I. Just can't risk using another brand's soothing
gel.

I might breakout. After that, I apply my eye cream. Usually, I apply eye cream after moisturizing
because at this point, I am making sure that my skin has fully absorbed the moisturizer
I applied. So usually, while waiting, I apply my eye
cream.

The eye cream that I'm using is this TEHFACESHOP
Pomegranate and Collagen Volume Lifting Eye Cream and this is my holy grail eye cream. I think this would be my fourth tub. I've been using this since 2014 so it has
already been 3 years. Definitely, I've seen improvements on my undereye
when I started using this.

Whenever i would try different eye creams,
I am always disappointed. They can't compare to this one. When you apply it under your eyes, it feel
lightweight like regular eye cream but it keeps the eye area moisturized (for a long
time). Which is why I think the fine line underneath
my eyes aren't pronounced.

I'm 27 and I'm not getting any younger. I definitely have fine lines underneath my
eyes and I want to prevent further depression of fine lines. This really helps me with that. I remember I tried switching to a different
eye cream because of the craze about the Mizon eye cream.

I tried it out but got disappointed because
this one performs so much better. I highly recommend it. A friend of mine is also using this one. She was actually the one who recommended this
to me because before, I was using a different THEFACESHOP eye cream and it worked well for
me, the Wrinkle Stop eye cream.

However, it was phased out. And then my friend just casually mentioned
that she also wanted to get the Wrinkle Stop eye cream but she couldn't find it so she
got this one. So when I couldn't find the Wrinkle Stop eye
cream, I decided to switch to this one and it was a good decision. My only problem with this one is it''s not
readily available in most THEFACESHOP stores (recently).

I'm not sure if they're planning to phase
this one out or what but when I went to Korea and when I was still living in the Philippines,
whenever I would visit THEFACESHOP stores, this is not available. Good thing I saw this on the ibuybeauti website. It can last you for 6-8 months and I religiously
use it twice a day. It comes with a spatula too.

After that one, I have an extra step that
I do. It's not really included in the 10-Step Korean
skin care routine but I ought to mention it to you guys, because I always do this. After applying eye cream, I apply lip balm. Your lips also show signs of aging.

There are lines that will show how old you
are. Which is why it is really best to keep moisturizing
your lips. As for me, I use this everyday and night. After all of that, I go ahead with the last
step of my daytime skin care routine, which is Step #9, and this is the sunscreen.

And the one that I'm using is the Nature Republic
Provence Calendula Aqua Sun Gel. It contains SPF 50+ and a PA of +++. Now, sunscreen is very important. I know some people don't use sunscreen but
it's very impoprtant.

They say when it's rainy or it's winter time,
or when the sun is not shining brightly, they don't use sunscreen, but guys, the sun doesn't
go away. That is why there's light during daytime. That means there are ultraviolet rays whether
or not it is scorching hot or not. Definitely, wear sunscreen all the time.

So I always use this every single morning. And what I found out over the years is my
skin is very sensitive to sunscreens. I can only use gel type variants. Previously, I only used dermatologist prescribed
or provided sun gels but I found this one.

This is the Nature Republic Sun Gel and it
works on my skin. It contains 60ml, if I'm not mistaken. It just feels like a super light gel lotion. When you apply it on your face, it gets absorbed
easily.

Sometimes when you apply regular sunscreens,
it feel sticky and it's very hard to blend but it is defintely not the case for this
one. It gets easily absorbed and I really like
using this one. I highly recommend it. I would definitely repurchase after I finish
this one.

Anyway, for the last step of the skin care
routine, usually, I do this at night. In replacement of the sunscreen but I only
do this once a week. Once or twice a week. Back when I was in the Philippines and I wasn't
working, I used to do this twice a week and it definitely gave good results on my skin.

However, since I'm very busy with work, I
can't do it twice a week but if you can, I. Highly suggest that you do. I normally use this after all of my skin care
products. This is just face masks.

Basically, I use this to seal everything on
top of it. Some people like to use this after toner because
it also contains essence. For me, I like to use this on top of everything
just to seal everything in place. My favorite at the moment are Innisfree ones.

I have more variants in my collection right
now but the one that I would highly recommend at the moment are Innisfree It's Real Squeeze
Masks. Any variant from this line is good for my
skin. It never breaks me out. I really remember when I was doing mask sheets
twice a week, it definitely made my skin a lot better.

And it even decreased the amount of breakouts
I was having. It definitely improved the condition of my
skin. The next step is not a part of the Korean
10-Step Skin Care Routine but I do it because I have acne prone skin and that step is Spot
Treatment. For spot treatment, I use this one right here.

It's the Centella Blemish Cream and it's just
a cream that you apply on your breakout. The trick to using this one because it says
right here: how to use it. Apply on pimples by dabbing with fingertip
until cream blends into the skin. So I used to do exactly like that.But I realized
that if I apply it and dab it halfway until it gets absorbed by the skin, and then I just
let the rest of the centella cream on my face to get absorbed naturally, I feel that it
works better.

It heals my pimples faster. It draws out the gunk from underneath your
pores and it just promotes healing faster. Another thing that I like to do whenever I
have breakouts especially when I have cystic acne, because those are definitely underneath
the skin. I use pimple patches.

I use this Etude House AC Clinic Powder Spot
Patch but I'm almost running out. I'm looking forward to trying out the COSRX
one. So far, that's my skin care routine but I'm
looking forward to try more Korean kin care products. In fact, I have a few that I want to share
with you.

Just so you know what products I'm going to
be trying out over the next few months. You're gonna have to look forward to my feedback
on these products on my future favorites videos. I do it bi-monthly. So you'll probably see these products there
if I do like it.

I'm looking forward to trying out this one. This is the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin
Power Essence and then I'm also really excited to try this out but at the same time I am
very nervous because this is an eye cream from a different brand. This is the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream. I've heard so many good things about this
one.

It looks like that and I'm quite excited to
try this one out. But I'm nervous because like I said before,
whenever I steer away from the THEFACESHOP. Eye cream, I get disappointed. I hope don't get disappointed with this one.

I will let you know my thoughts on this one
on a future video. And then I'm also looking forward to trying
out this one. This is super popular in Korea. This is the COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad.

I'll try it as soon as I can. I'll let you know what I think about this. At the same time, I'm also going to be trying
out the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch. Once I run out of the Etude House one, I will
use this one for my pimples whenever I get cystic ones..

MY DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE

It's all about putting your best face forward. Let's do this What's up socials welcome back to Amy TV. I just wanted to have a little bit of a relaxed video with you today, and as usual I'm in the office, but I really didn't put clothes on for you today, so you're welcome. You might remember a few weeks ago I did a camera-ready makeup routine And I could not believe how much you guys loved that one the number of Comments and likes and everything that was going on.

It's so cool that that was helpful for you I'm so glad to help, but that also kind of spun off into another conversation about skin care And how important that that is for you? I take it, so seriously somebody basically scared the pants off of me well That's not true. They didn't scare the pants off of me, but that if you sleep with your makeup on for one night You age yourself eight days. Oh my gosh I do not want to age my face eight days by simply being too lazy to wash my makeup off That is so disgusting But it makes so much sense Because it's really important to give your skin what it needs in order to sort of Rehabilitate itself and come back fresher and better the next day when it's kind of healing From all the crap that you put it through during the day whether it's just environment sunshine Makeup all of the above only some of the above for me I don't interact with the Sun very often So I thought I would walk you through my skincare routine That I do in order to kind of make sure that I always have a fresh canvas to put makeup on or to Go to meetings with everyday feeling my like my best self as often as possible because you can't prevent breakouts They happen when you eat something That's not right or whatever, but if you really do stay in a good flow of taking care of your skin You can usually bounce back from that stuff pretty easily I'm gonna sort of chat with you here the things that I do, but I'm also gonna show you what I'm doing in the bathroom Because I felt like it would just be weird for me to just talk you through it here So I did bring the camera into the bathroom with me for both my nighttime And my morning routine before we dig in make sure you subscribe to this channel and make new videos every Wednesday and Sunday I've been trying to publish them about four or five o'clock Eastern because that's what's worked for me in my daily routines And I'm curious if you are subscribed already if this type of video You know we don't usually do Beauty if you're going to subscribe and you're like Oh, is this a beauty channel, not usually doing Beauty here It's a lot of going after the life you want But I do think wellness plays a role in that so I'm curious to hear if you're an existing subscriber You know do you want to see more of this type of thing in the future? Do you find it useful? Do you think it applies to the conversation that we have I'm really just trying some things out And I would love your feedback in the comments below all right So I'm actually gonna start with the nighttime routine because I think this is the most important for every single person like I said if you do nothing else do a nighttime routine the First product that I use like the moment I go into the bathroom I grab a washcloth and I grab my cleansing balm, and the cleansing balm is from Clinique. It's called take the day off I Think this is gonna answer a lot of questions for people who are like how do you take all of that makeup you put on? Off from the makeup tutorial that we did a little while ago, don't worry I get all of it off It just does such an incredible job of taking all the makeup off it takes my mascara off it takes everything off So I don't even use any of the other oils or anything to remove makeup I use nothing but the cleansing balm And then I will wet that coarse washcloth and really use it to scrape a lot of this stuff off of my face I like to have cream colored washcloths because I want to see the gunk come off my face in real time I want to know if there's anything left at any moment So I'm using every corner of that washcloth to get everything next it's time to actually clean the face now that we broke ground My cleanser is from Kate Somerville It is called the exfolikate cleanser daily foaming wash and again I just sort of rub this all over and really clean as much as I can I'm usually like dunking my head and the sink and like washing everything off in terms of the cleanser or any remaining makeup and then I will grab a clean washcloth to sort of pat dry and check for any additional makeup spots that might still be there but ideally they're gone at this point and I try not to wipe water off of my face because I know my Face needs water it needs moisture, so why not have actual water to sort of set things off So just pat dry so it's not completely bone dry After I wash my face after that I like to do a toner the one I'm showing you here is the Andaluz 1000 roses floral toner and toner is just really gonna help you with pH balance I like to spritz this all over my face all over my decollete and This really has nice ingredients that are gonna refresh and just moisturize And it just feels amazing to do something like this to your face like spritzing something on your face I will make the excuse to do that all the time I'm the girl sitting next to you on the plane spritzing her face.

Okay with an SPF a makeup set and moisturizing spray Three in one and I only had to spritz myself twice. I'm sorry if I got it on you after the toner I want to do an oil that oil is gonna Be really good for my dry skin the one I use is a little bit pricey, but it is so insanely amazing I'm obsessed with this is the Sunday Riley Luna sleeping night oil This is a retinoid oil, so you need to know when you're sort of getting into the retinols and putting that on your face But that's gonna do an amazing job of sort of like Healing the skin overnight to reduce the appearance of pores Wrinkles any aging prevention that happens and also prevent surface redness, which you'll probably notice I deal a lot with I have sort of blood that collects in different places of my face specifically my nose and areas of my cheeks so Nothing really I can do about that But I don't want any additional redness to happen so I really love this oil for that after I put an oil on Curveball I do a little bit of facial massage, and this is great because sometimes we eat things or do things that make Inflammation build up in the body and this can happen in the face And it can get really like puffy and gross and quite frankly that sounds Terrible so I have a little Jade Roller that I bought on Amazon. I'm totally obsessed with it It is an actual jade stone, and it really cools the face and you're really massaging that inflammation out of the face It's gonna promote blood flow skin renewal I usually go in upward motions because no I'm not trying to drag anything down on my face Gravity's doing a good enough job of that and I'll use the small side just to go underneath the eyes Just very carefully you really don't want to do this for more than five or ten minutes I usually don't have the patience to even do that I'll just do it for a couple minutes and be done But make sure that when you are doing this you're not only going in upward motions But then you're going down the neck and moving whatever Inflammation you're trying to get out of your face out of your body completely by sending it down You don't want it to go up toward your head it can probably cause like a headache and bad things happening You're really not sending it anywhere out of your face if it's just going up to your head So really just push it down use that Jade roller to your neck. It's really nice It feels amazing on every area of the face, so yeah, I highly recommend you give this a try I don't recommend traveling with the Jade Roller.

It's just easily breakable I've never taken it anywhere with me, but it's definitely good to have at home next the all-important And oh my gosh everyone needs to do this if absolutely nothing else I cream you'll notice. I'm using the it cosmetics Bye, bye under-eye. This is so important no matter how old you are to use an eye cream You can pick the one you like the best. I love it cosmetics They make the most amazing stuff if you do nothing else if you're in your 20s And you're listening to me right now listen to me right now use eye cream I promise you if you still want to be carded when you're my age You'll be happy used eye cream once or twice a day for your entire life I promise you that I never ever ever ever rub eye cream on because Again the eyes are creeping on their own We do not need swiping motions to help with that so I usually use my ring finger and tap it on just tap it on until it's absorbed and It needs some more time to absorb so now I'm gonna kind of give my skin a two-minute break so that that eye cream can really set in the oil can start to set in and I'm gonna brush my teeth and something I.

Do before I brush my teeth is tongues great. This is probably my new favorite thing in the whole world I'm telling everyone I went to a bachelorette party and everybody ended up buying tongue scrapers after that I left It was kind of hilarious But this is the most amazing thing we have so much Bacteria that sort of sits on the back of our tongue And this scraper you don't have to do it for many times, and you don't have to do it roughly But you just sort of watch this like white phlegm come off of your tongue And is just sitting there always and it's so disgusting and just get that out of your system, and then brush your teeth And you're really Really getting to the bacteria you can't scrape off your tongue when you're brushing your teeth because it's obviously on your teeth so Anyway, I really really love the tongue scraping thing and is a life Changer and I think you're really really gonna Enjoy it if you do decide to pick up that habit because I got been into it And he's just like he loves it. He loves the moisturizer that I'm using as my night cream at the moment is the dr. Dennis gross hyaluronic marine oil-free moisture can and you can actually use this cream twice a day I just happen to be using it as my night cream at this point and its really nice because it does have that hyaluronic acid in it hyaluronic acid if you don't know has the ability to hold an insane Amount of moisture a thousand times its weight in in water is what it can hold one of the last things I do is put a lip sleeping mask on my face and this is from Laneige I don't know how to say it I found it in the Sephora Check out one of those things that they want you to buy before you're really trying to get out of there And I absolutely love it ironically it says to wipe off any excess in the morning I never have excess and that's because I'm in dire need of moisture But I swear to you my lips have been in absolutely incredible condition Since I started using this mask I feel like I don't need lip balm quite as often I'm not drying out quite as often so I highly recommend a lip mask when you're going to sleep And now I'm ready for bed yay Oh my god, this feels so amazing to go to sleep like that so I mean now let's talk about my morning routine I cannot move on with my day without taking care of my face first Literally it is so Important I haven't been cleansing every morning I kind of want a lot of those products that I slept in overnight to continue to work They're really not bad, so I'm not trying to like start completely fresh in the morning but I do need to splash my face and get the gunk out of my eyes cuz that's just disgusting if it is a Cleansing day.

It's an exfoliating day in the morning so twice a week. I will use an exfoliant and that is the Kate, Somerville exfoliate intensive exfoliating treatment And this is basically really Nice for sort of refreshing the skin you're gonna work it in and then leave it on for a couple of minutes and then rinse It off definitely important to be exfoliating on a regular basis, and I absolutely love this for that I'd like to change it up in the morning with my toner and so this time I'm going to use the Aveda botanical kinetics skin toning agent I love this one just because it's so soothing and it smells Incredible so nice little little spritz in the morning after the toner I like to use a serum so my vitamin C. Serum is by dr. Dennis gross.

It's the c+ collagen serum this is gonna do a lot of things it's gonna brighten smooth boosts the skin energy and Anything vitamin C in my opinion just smells amazing, so I'm all about that first thing in the morning guess what's next I cream Back to the it cosmetics bye bye under-eye because always eye cream always and you're gonna need that two-minute break So we're gonna scrape the tongue, which is so incredible in the morning I swear if you were like I hate brushing my teeth which you shouldn't you should always brush your teeth But if you didn't which I always do But if you didn't use that tongue scraper in the morning And I tell you what if you kiss your significant other they will be so much less grossed out by your morning breath so much less Speaking from experience now that all that's taken care of we're gonna do the daily moisturizer I could use what I did overnight But I actually really love and prefer to use the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion This is just my all-time favorite. My skin just sucks up this moisturizer so fast in it I mean it makes my skin a Totally perfect palette for whatever's next whether it's makeup or a CC cream or something like that But first the all important thing and that is sunscreen here I'm using the RepLennox antioxidant sunscreen moisturizer in SPF 50 plus this stuff is an Amazing sunscreen because it's also a moisturizer it is also Caffeinated with green tea so that's amazing for keeping that skin alive keeping it very supple And I just absolutely love that sort of to top everything else off Fifty-plus always always always always make sure that you have 50-plus SPF. Your face, and now I'm ready for the day probably gonna put makeup on real quick that is my skin care regimen Hopefully you enjoyed it to me again. This is like meditation.

I love to just do these steps every day I feel like I'm taking care of myself I feel like I'm setting my day up for success or setting my sleep up for success and that's another thing Always keep in mind that if you're not getting enough sleep You can't put enough product on your face in the world To prevent the crap that losing sleep causes so make sure you take care of that and I'd love to hear from you What do you do to take care of yourself take care of your skin leave that in the comments below cause I'm always looking for Something new I love to add steps.

My 2018 Beauty & Skincare EmptiesBeauty With MiRefinery29

Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne,
and this is Beauty With Mi. I have a different video today. I'm going to do an empties video
where I'm going to show you everything that I've been collecting
for the past six months. To the average beauty consumer, it might not
seem like that much stuff, but...

Trust me when I say that my job
is to test new makeup, so if I finish it up, it means
I really liked it. And I'm gonna share it with you guys. But before I start showing you guys what is
in the contents of this bag, please make sure you are subscribed down
below, little red button. As per usual, Beauty With Mi comes
out every Monday at 11AM.

I actually end up testing a lot more makeup
than I do, like, hair and skin, so I don't have a ton of makeup empties, but
I will show you what I do have. So, the first up is this mascara. It's the Catrice Glamour Doll
waterproof mascara. I really like Catrice mascaras, especially
the ones that have the silicon brush tips.

It's really easy to get
between your eyelashes. It really volumizes, and it also
defines pretty well. So, next up, is this one. This is a mascara from a Korean
brand called "Etude House." And it's called the
Curl Fix mascara.

It doesn't say it's waterproof,
I don't think... But it is. I'm embarrassed to say I've
had this for maybe a year, so I kind of finally decided to retire it. It's actually one of my
favorite mascaras.

The brush has an
interesting comb. On one side, it's very,
very short bristles. And on the other side,
they're very long. I like to use the short side for my bottom
eyelashes, and then the long side for my top.

But then for like, detail shots, I'll twist
it over and use the shorter bristles. And it can give you like, the prettiest like,
eye-opening effect, holds a curl really well. This eyeliner from W3LL PEOPLE. This one kind of dried up on me I think because
I didn't really close it all the way...

The formula is good, it's not the
most like, water-resistant. It's from W3LL PEOPLE, which
is a very green brand. It's not every day you find like, a pretty
decent liquid liner in that kind of arena. I think that the brush is a little bit on
the nubby like, thick side.

I think it would be a little bit easier to
do like, precise work if it was slightly thinner. This is the Jouer lip creme
in Frais Bonbon. This is a liquid lipstick that I've had
for a really long time. Like, maybe 2, almost 3 years, and it dried
out because I didn't screw the cap on.

It is a beautiful liquid lipstick. It's really good. I highly recommend
this line from Jouer. This one actually applies quite thin on the
lips, so it doesn't feel crusty or cakey on, and it has a really
great color selection.

So, this is my Beauty Blender Bubble. The like, light pink one
that came out. I mean, I love Beauty Blenders, who doesn't,
but this one was actually really, really soft. Like, the Beauty Blender is soft...

But this one's like, softer. And then I dropped it. In the bathroom. Of a hotel.

I was just like... Gross. I have been using this Dermablend Makeup Dissolver,
which really cuts through waterproof makeup like... Fast.

I will say it does sting just a little bit,
but it works so quickly that I was willing to overlook that. This is a lab sample, so it's
not the final packaging. This is the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup Melting
Cleansing Balm, and this is really good. It also cuts through waterproof
makeup really fast.

This one doesn't sting, but it is in a balm,
so it's like, less conducive for travel. So, after I cleanse with the oily makeup removers,
I always double-cleanse with some sort of cleanser, and I finished  finally  my
Glossier Milky Jelly cleanser. It was sitting in my shower,
and it's really nasty now. I did finish all of it.

I really liked it. It has like, a kind of bouncy gel texture
that feels really nice on. It smells like roses because
it has rosewater in it. If you guys have been watching the show for
a while, you might know that I went to Rene Rouleau who's an aesthetician to
get a facial from her in December.

She gave me a bunch of product after the facial,
and I've been using it pretty much since then. And this is one of my favorites, it's the
Pore and Wrinkle Perfecting serum. It has a bunch of acids in it, so it's really
great at like, evening out skin tone. It helps with like, acne and like
whiteheads and stuff like that.

It doesn't make my skin irritated. It's very gentle. The Anti-cyst Treatment. So this, I love.

This is a serum that specifically targets
like, cyst-like breakouts, and that's like, the types of breakouts that are like,
under the skin and they hurt. I don't know how this thing
works, but it does. It just like, cuts down the healing
time of my cysts basically. So, I have one more acne product, and that
is the Dr.

Pimple Popper acne spot treatment from SLMD, so that's actually
Dr. Pimple Popper's skincare line, and it stands for
Sandra Lee MD. This is her acne spot treatment, it's 2% salicylic
acid, and it comes out in a little roller ball that makes it really easy to just
like, kind of slap onto a zit. I kept this in my bedside table.

Does this happen to you? Because like... I feel like every time I'm like, about to
drift off to sleep, and I touch my face, and I'm like,
I have a pimple! And you don't wanna like, get out of bed to
like, get your pimple cream, so I just keep this in my bedside table for those moments when
I don't want to get up, and then I put it on and I go to sleep. This is the Farmacy Green Screen
SPF 30 sunscreen. This is probably my
favorite facial sunscreen.

It feels like moisturizer. It's super lightweight. The active ingredients in this are titanium
dioxide and zinc oxide, so it doesn't have any of the harmful coral-killing ingredients
in it that a lot of sunscreens do. It's not greasy, it layers
well under makeup.

I love it. This is the Burt's Bees
mango moisturizing lip balm. Used it all up, scraped it
at the bottom over here. It smells really good.

I am a Burt's Bees lip balm fan for life. I love the original lip balm specifically
because it goes on matte, and I like that because you can put it on before lipstick
and it won't compromise the finish. These like, kind of flavored ones of the Burt's
Bees line, they're a little bit on the shiny side, so they're not as good for that. But if I were to choose, I would just
always go for the original.

I love the original. So, the next lip product is the
Bite Agave Lip Mask. Now, this is a thick lip mask. It's a lip mask, but I pretty much
just use it as a lip balm.

It's very hydrating, it's very thick, so I
only use this at night. It's great for the winter. I actually used this up I think in February,
so it did see me through the entire winter season. It lasts forever, too.

Alright, so, on to hair. I've been using this Oribe Mask for Beautiful
Color pretty much since I got my hair colored in January. Smells really, really, really good. Made my hair super soft.

So, next up, I have this
pomade from Fatboy. It's called the Sea Salt Pomade, and I used
like most of it, and then, it kind of dried out toward the end. But, it's basically a kind of gritty pomade
that you would get onto your hands, I'd get it on my hands, and then I would use it through
the mid lengths and ends of my hair to kind of fluff it out and give it a little bit
of piece-y texture. It's really, really nice.

It has a matte finish, so it doesn't
look too shiny in the hair. It smells really good. And last but not least, potentially the
most boring part of the video... Deodorant! I've gone through two deodorants.

The first of which is this one from Ursa Major,
it's called the Hoppin' Fresh deodorant. It's 100% natural, has no aluminum
and that sort of thing. If you guys watched my deodorant testing video,
you know that I don't sweat that much, I don't smell that much, so I do find just a regular
deodorant and not an anti-perspirant is fine just to use every day. This one's really nice, it smells
kind of Eucalyptus-y.

It is a little bit on the drier side, so when
you put it on your armpits, you do kind of have to rub a bit so it warms up, but then
it totally applies easily, and it's fine. And the next one is this one from,
I think it's spelled, "AER." AER. It's called the Next Level deodorant. And it's by Vapour,
Vapour Organic Beauty.

And it comes up in a little
twisty thing like this. You twist this knob and the little
product comes out of here. This has been my kind of
more spring deodorant. It does control odor pretty
well, I would say.

It's also aluminum free. It's also pretty natural. The one thing I don't
love about it is... The package kind of leaks a bit because it's
kind of more of an oily formula.

And that's it! Does anyone else feel really accomplished
when you finish a product? When you like, do the last pump of a
cleanser or something, it's like... It's like, closing a book after
you finished it. You're ending that chapter
of your beauty life. Am I the only one
that feels that way? If you feel that way, let me
know in the comments.

But, yeah! That's it! I hope you guys enjoyed this. I hope that it gives you an idea of
like, what I've been liking. Let me know in the comments below what you
guys have finished up recently, or if there's anything I should try. You know I'm always looking
for new things.

And I will catch you
guys next week. Bye! Thanks so much for
watching, guys. Let me know what you want to see next on Beauty

My 10 Step Korean Skincare Routine! #beyu

What's up, everyone? So for the past few months I've been pretty much religiously following the 10 Step Korean skincare routine. And so I thought I would share with you guys which products I used because they've really helped to clear up my skin. So, Step 1 is using an oil-based cleanser. I am using the All Clean Balm by Heimish to remove all my makeup.

I've been loving this one because of the convenient and clean packaging. It comes with this little spatula and the formula is very gentle but efficient. I just take a small amount and massage that onto my skin until all of my impurities dissolve and melt away. And then I just rinse it off with water.

Step 2 is to double cleanse with a water-based cleanser to get rid of any remaining residue. So I'm using the Neogen Green Tea Foam Wash which I love and I'm actually combining this with step 3 which is to exfoliate. I've been using this exfoliating brush from the Ultimate Skin Spa System from Vanity Planet. I'll normally use the daily cleansing brush and twice a week I'll use the exfoliating brush.

This brush Is supposed to cleanse six times better than if you're to wash your face with just your hands. And it's made out of this quick drying non-pore silicone to resist bacteria buildup. So it's more hygienic than other facial cleansing brushes. This has been a holy grail in my skincare routine because I feel like it truly deep cleans my skin every night .

And so I have an amazing discount of 70% off if you're interested in getting one yourself and I'll leave that code for you down below. Ok, Step 4 is toner. Everyone raves about the Son & Park beauty water and this is probably my most used skincare product. It contains Willow Bark and Papaya extract to get rid of dead skin cells and it balance out pH levels and it's also super hydrating because it has lavender and rosewater and orange fruit extract in it.

Step 5 is essence which is the heart of Korean skincare and for my 21st birthday, my mom got me this beautiful limited-edition Sakura essence from SK-II. This essence specifically contains over 90% of a magical ingredient called Pitera which transforms all five skin dimensions in texture radiance, firmness, spot control and wrinkle resilience. It basically keeps you from looking old and maybe it will help me stay forever 21. Step 6 is using a serum.

After hearing so much about the Klairs Vitamin C serum, I had to give it a try. The Vitamin C in this product is an antioxidant for anti-aging, protection and brightening skin to really even out the skin tone. It also fades brown spots, keeps skin firm and reduces fine lines. Step 7 is probably my favorite.

Sheet Masks. The one I'm using is an extra fancy one from Dr. Jart. I normally do this 1-2 times a week.

But there was a period where I was trying out a new face mask literally every single day It's a quiet, meditative skin-nourishing ritual that'll make you feel like a legit princess This one required me to leave it on for, I believe half an hour to 45 minutes. So I just put it on, chill and look like a freak. *Yas, slay it gurl* Okay, it's been half an hour. And I love sheet mask because you're giving a maximum treatment to your skin.

And when you peel the mask off you can notice the difference right away. And I usually like to massage the leftover serum onto my skin to really make sure it all absorbs. Step 8 is eye cream. The area around your eyes is the most delicate part of the face.

So it's important to take care of them. Especially if you're like me and you stay up late staring at your screen for hours. This is gonna help to reduce wrinkles and restore firmness. Step 9 is moisturizer.

I am applying the Aqua Gel from Nature Republic. And I love this stuff especially for the summertime. I don't want anything too thick or sticky on my face. This one's lightweight and cooling.

And it helps to just make my skin glow. The last step is actually sunscreen. But since it's the nighttime I'm actually applying my acne treatment. And I've been using this one from Glytone.

It contains micronized Benzoyl peroxide. And my skin seems to love this stuff because it's not too harsh, but it is definitely effective. And I love the gel consistency of it. So I'm just applying that to all of my little problem areas.

So I added in a little bonus step because I do believe your lips are part of your skin. And they do deserve some love. So this is the wonderful Laneige grapefruit lip sleeping mask You only need a little bit of this and the next morning your lips will feel soft and supple and extra hydrated. Plus the grapefruit one smells insanely good.

Alright! That is my entire skin care ritual that I do almost every single night I know, it seems like a lot. But it really only takes me less than five minutes for the most part And it's quite therapeutic to pamper myself every night I love you guys! Don't forget to like this video and #beyu. And I'll see you guys soon. Bye~.
