Alix Earle Shares The Products That Changed Her Skin | Waking Up With | ELLE

[Music] good morning L you ready to spend the day with me the first thing I do when I wake up which I feel like a lot of people say they meditate or something I'm going to be honest I just pick up my phone I usually scroll for about 10 minutes on Tik Tok like this and I don't know I feel like it it wakes me up it gets me going I'm also usually sleeping past my alarm I'm like really bad with alarms so once I get up this is my position for about 10 minutes I'm trying to get myself into a healthier habit of starting with a glass of water so I just keep it on my nightstand I put it there like I'm a child because I can go a whole day without drinking water it'll be 9:00 p.m. at night and I'm like oh my God I had maybe two sips of water today so this is me trying to get myself into a better habit of drinking water the reason I keep a ring light over here which these are the best thing ever for making content they're so bright and a lot of the content that I post is very spontaneous it just comes in the moment to me so I really never know what video I'm going to be making and I just keep it here just in case I have an idea and then we just flick on the light and get recording a lot of people call this the Alex Earl light which is crazy because it's just not my light at all I found this thing for like $10 and I was like oh my God amazing so I made a Tik Tok about it and then it sold out it went so viral the prices like skyrocketed up and now everyone calls it the Alex or light and I even saw people say they were like oh I didn't know who Alex Earl was I thought she was like a light company because people think that this is my light but it's really not I just discovered it on Amazon let's go get some [Music] coffee I usually get a iced coffee with almond milk that's kind of my go-to order wherever I am and on my stroll to get a coffee I like to call my family it's like a set chunk of time that I can call my mom my dad my grandparents because they're in Wisconsin or New Jersey and I'm wherever in the world I am so I just think it's a good time to catch up with them and talk and then while I'm enjoying my coffee I usually like to make sure that I'm getting my work done for the day so I will first check my calendar make sure I'm on schedule for everything and I don't miss anything or any meetings and then I will go through my emails and I have a big notes document that I use for my podcast which is hot mess with Alex Earl and I don't know I kind of brainstorm ideas in there I think this is a good time fresh waking up I'll put all my ideas into this document see if we can make anything an episode idea from that because I'm usually not in Miami the podcast has kind of been traveling with me now so I have my camera equipment that I'll just bring with me everywhere and set up and start filming wherever I am after I get work done for about an hour I go to wake my body up and I do some yoga so I'll show you guys how I do that [Music] welcome to Alex's online yoga class because I'm traveling around a lot it's kind of nice to get myself grounded because I think not being in one place all the time you can feel a little anxious I usually start with this which is just butterfly I think I used to be a dancer so I was a lot more flexible my knees would be able to hit the ground that's not really the case anymore but honestly this just feels good stretches that like your lower back too and then next I usually like to go into a child's pose I'm going to try and do this as gracefully as possible right now but I will stretch out like this get the lower back and then I will take an arm and twist it through bonus if your back cracks that's always my favorite but something like this [Music] now we're going to get into downward dog oh gosh okay so something like this this feels really good if you haven't downward dogged you should and then you can go through chatarunga and then you go up and stretch back like the tops of my hips just pop the front part and it feels really good I will usually do yoga for like 20 minutes and another hack actually I have is on YouTube Daisy ke's 10-minute abtin or Alexis Ren's 10-minute butt workout they are my personal trainers with those YouTube videos now we've broken a little sweat and let's go do our skincare [Music] routine every morning I have a set skincare routine that I do growing up I never really had one and I've always struggled with acne so this has been a big part of my skin journey and sticking to clean good products so I will get into it and show you guys what I use first I start off with washing my face I use this Petro Simone purifying cleanser my bottle's a little broken right now so this is how we're using it what I like about this cleanser is it's not too strong but it cleanses your pores you put it on you can put it on and leave it as a face mask for a few minutes actually too and then I will rinse it off with water I also learned to Pat your face with the towel not to rub it and then after that I will go in with this Vivant toner and I never used a toner before but actually now you will see how much stuff comes off of your face it's insane so I don't know how I wasn't using one of these [Music] before it's crazy how much stuff comes off every time even after you wash your face multiple times stuff still comes off so toner is definitely really good then I go in with a mandelic acid serum which is really good for your acne this one is also from viant has a little dropper so I'll do one on my forehead and then one on each cheek and this has really helped with clearing up my skin getting rid of any blemishes and this is something I definitely did not use before but this is a tinted moisturizer has SPF in it I never used SPF but I realized how important that is this is from Alliston and it's really really nice it has a nice finish to it that has a tint but it's not going to look like you have makeup on but since my skin has some scarring and it can be uneven it just kind of gives you a nice finish and being out in the sun it's definitely good to protect your skin on days that I'm not really going for a full makeup look I will just keep this on and then sometimes do a little lip gloss maybe some mascara but I'll kind of use it instead of foundation this is another hack that I have I wake up with red eyes I don't know why so I got these lumify eye drops and sometimes I'll do these before I'm doing my makeup too but you just put one drop in each eye and your eyes will be pure white no redness I don't know I've been loving these and we're going to keep it pretty simple today but I think I'm going to add a lip because we can never leave the house without a little bit of lip gloss this one is from Ula henriksson and it has a blood orange flavor to it giv gives a little bit of a tint and I don't know I just think a glossy lip can add a lot to a look personally I think the biggest things that make a difference on my face will be my lips and my eyes so I always curl my eyelashes before I leave and then we're going to add a little bit of mascara so I can show you guys everyone gets really scared about my eyelash curling cuz it looks like my eyes is rolling back in my head but I'm telling you it's the way to get a perfect curl I had no idea that I was curling my eyelashes different than everyone until I started posting videos and everyone was com ing about it I don't know I didn't think anything was that different or scary about it and my hack for keeping the curl is always using a waterproof mascara if I use a regular mascara the curls will just probably fall flat in like an hour so this will keep your lashes up and looking beautiful all night I always kind of make a mess with mascara but we'll go back in and clean it up when they're done I don't ever really put false eyelashes on unless I'm getting my makeup done by someone for something that they want to put a couple ones on the end but usually I just kind of go with my natural lash we're going to try and clean this up a little bit I don't know how girls put mascara on without getting it all over their eyelid but honestly this one wasn't too bad and then this is our final look for the day not too much pretty simple but we look a little bit more alive now thank you guys for spending the morning with me I will see you next time bye [Music] [Music] [Music]
