or something fun um just it wasn't a part of my morning routine until the first time we recorded this podcast and i thought i was going to be behind camera per usual and then i was on camera and i was watching it and we're sitting in the living room and i'm wearing this black dress and this baseball cap and all of you look so beautiful and i look like a red splotchy monster i went home and bought my first concealer i was like maybe i should wear a little makeup so you usually only wear makeup on mondays only on mondays i think in the first podcast too we didn't have lights yeah we didn't have lights we just recorded it was really unflattering i was somehow sitting like this the whole time you know like i had a double chin you can go back you can watch it but i ever since we started doing the podcast i was like maybe i'll wear a little makeup but not not tons you know i got like a tinted sunscreen i have a concealer i just confessed before we started rolling that i don't usually wear mascara because i feel like it's too much um and pre-pandemic i liked a red lip for parties or like a fun lip for parties but it's not very mask friendly mm-hmm oh yeah yeah and i would get all that so anyways i pull becky for help in my skincare life on the reg and ask her to help me how to figure out how to do things and she does so i'm excited that all of you get to do the same thing today so becky start out by telling us how did you get started in makeup and skincare what was your um when did you become interested and how did you learn about it yeah i actually didn't where i wasn't allowed to wear makeup when i was younger until i was like 16. but of course i like hid some in my locker who doesn't who like what was your what was your oh my god it was horrible i i have i've had like blue lipstick like yesterday classic stuff okay that i would wear and then like black eyeliner oh yeah wash my face in the sink before i went home were you a little emo the bangs were also yeah you know very far over my face oh my god i have the bangs my mom took away my eyeliner once and i bold move i was like fine and i went to the bathroom and i full-on did sharpie on my eyeliner i was an angsty teenager how long did it take to come off i don't remember daddy's like it's still there i was like really thick dark line yeah i can't wait until we get to the questions and you can tell us how the hell anyone freehands liquid eyeliner i would like to know i just i like baby smudge all over my face i need 45 q-tips to get that done i tried liquid eyeliner one time and it did not work out and i was like never again this is not for me you can never go okay you weren't allowed to wear makeup as a kid yes but i wore it anyway i snuck it and then even in college i don't really remember wearing that much makeup i remember i wore benefit quite a lot like that they were hot they were hot for a little bit yeah so i did like foundation and i always did my eyebrows that was something that like oh you were doing your eyebrows and like the early odds well i had to because mine grow backwards so the tails all my eyebrows are fake oh wow wait the tails grow the other way you have salmon eyebrows they swim upstream they swim upstream i don't know my dads do it too and my mom doesn't have like a lot of eyebrows i've never heard of this nor have i ever noticed it yeah yeah i've never noticed because i pluck it i pluck over pluck them so that they'll you know because they've never in all the times that i've waxed threaded plucked anything i do they will not grow the correct direction wow so i just rip those little bad boys off i just draw them and i just draw them and baby have you ever considered um microblading i thought about it uh what is that it's like where it's like almost like tattoo eyebrows so they put like a little pigment on a little pigment and a little thing and yeah it's a little less permanent and intense it's like a very delicate yeah tattoo but i get tattoo fever like when i got my first tattoo i'm always like i want another tattoo oh you're getting and now i think if i do it on my eyebrows i'll be like i want to get more a thicker eyebrow anymore give me more bring it to my hairline yeah it's addictive it is there's something some high about it that you're like same with piercings where i'm like i need more and you need more piercings let's go let's get them it's your emo self coming out yes it's coming out to play um but then yeah after college when we moved to la i was kind of like switching jobs trying to figure out what i wanted to do and i had a girlfriend who was a makeup artist and i had kind of been getting more into like skincare and makeup once i got out here um and i was like oh well maybe i'll go to makeup school i think that would be kind of cool and i thought i wanted to do special effects and then i actually did the special effects in school and was like no no no no no that is not for me that is not for me um and then yeah i just went to it's called mud makeup designer it's a burbank um although i by no means think you have to go to makeup school to be a makeup artist yeah especially in age of technology this was back in 2000 not like there wasn't technology we are swimming in like tutorials online there's a lot of people who are self-taught yeah i'm just amazed so many people yeah so you can you can do it the best things i think i learned in school were about like sanitation really there's got to be a youtube video for that too though sure there's got i mean it's probably like professionals telling you what you need to do but yeah i don't know if anybody just sings excuse me the school of youtube can teach you many things for sure when you were going to makeup school skin care was a part of that or that is something you sort of learned on your own that was just something i kind of learned on my own i was just always interested in it and since i didn't wear a lot of makeup i was like you know i had a little extra coin to spend on skincare so i was always like trying new things and you know booping around so i'd say i'm a little more of like a product junkie now where i like know lots of products uh-huh i didn't realize how important skincare was until i probably was like in my 20s and i was like just put it on top like put your foundation on top and then i'd look at my skin texture compared to the person next to me skin texture i was like why is like my skin coming off it's like looking like you're like i was pilling uh-huh but like i wouldn't really look at that as a teenager because i was probably in a poorly dimly lit bathroom and just kind of just taking it on i was like that looks good yeah time for the day perfect perf i remember i didn't discover like brushes or makeup sponges or anything like that i always thought those were for like moms you know i didn't use anything else you're the mom i'm the mom now but i just use my fingers for everything i use my fingers i don't have any brushes i only have like under five yeah okay it's the cleanest way to do it too because you know your hands are clean when's the last time you cleaned a beauty blender audience i'm yeah but yeah after i went to school i went back to serving because school was not free um unfortunately yep so i'm back to waiting tables and then i worked for lancome doing a freelance makeup for two years so i would like boop around to different malls and that was not my favorite job i've ever had but it paid really well because you were a freelancer you're considered like an independent contractor who came in so i didn't really have to do a ton of the like selling of any products so they certainly would like you to do that yeah um and then after i left that job i worked at a natural beauty store um who did like clean beauty and i'm not so much into that anymore i mean do you want to tell us the clean beauty world man it really takes a pandemic and some like social awareness uprising to see that some of those wellness people are horrible anti-vaxxers terribly racist um and only care about a lot of money so i kind of transitioned from being like i don't say clean anymore though i do use things that would be under like the clean at sephora or you could find them at like credo or a store that specializes in that um but i've started using more like conventional things as long as they're like you know i care more about like the sustainability aspect of how things are made rather than like animal cruelty yeah things being like cruelty free and not using like like people like that retinol alternative they call it a retinol alternative or however you say it um but that's actually like that's like an indigenous plant to our native plant to wherever it's from so like we popularize things and then you know mine the [ __ ] out of other countries and places where it's from same with like micah so micah's in a lot of like it's like glitter basically anything that's like shiny or dewy probably has some sort of mica in it um and if it's not synthetic mica then it is probably coming from a child run mine oh wow cause it's like a snow piercer situation where like they're the only ones with the little hands to be able to do it it's crazy it's like look up the like micah and all of that people are starting to do what i really like is doing like a mica supply chain so they'll tell you where the mica comes from if it's not synthetic when you start investigating everything make up where your food comes from anything it what is living under that rock is really gruesome yeah it's crazy and especially with like a lot of the appropriation that comes with makeup too not to take this in like a totally different direction than makeup but like we have the fox eye trend that people are doing which is just um pretty racist you know it's like a form of yellow face even just like the way we like uh like eurocentric features are people are trying to make their lips bigger their cheeks fuller things that are looked down on in other uh people they're more popular now yeah without like realizing the history of where those uh beauty trends come from it can get very heavy getting heavy but yeah research your makeup research where it comes from yeah research who owns oh you want to hear the craziest thing about me you know i do so most of the beauty counters in a mall and most like makeup in general like if you get at a department store is owned by two companies estee lauder and l'oreal own every almost everything i think shiseido owns a few things too but yeah you can go on you can go on their the l'oreal website and the estee lauder website and see what family that they belong to interesting is it just they invest in these smaller companies and be like come under this umbrella sometimes they buy them and then i think other times they're formulated that way but there's a crazy thing that happens sometimes where if you look at like a brand that says that they're cruelty free like let's say i don't know something in a department store but in their same umbrella family like l'oreal they'll have almost like a sacrifice brand where like garnier isn't cruelty free i don't know i'm just saying garnier don't come for me garnier i don't know if they're cruelty free but they'll have a lower tier brand that's not cruelty free that does benefit from like animal testing because certain countries like if you go to mainland china they do require animal testing to sell products there um they'll still use the information and the technology that they use on the higher end products but they charge a higher price point for cruelty free yeah yeah or they just use like that information which i don't i'm not a you know i don't formulate makeup so i don't know what the the standards and the protocol of it all are right but it's crazy hello fresh is so easy it cuts out all the stressful meal planning and grocery store trips so you can get dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less there are over 25 recipes to choose from each week featuring a range of flavors cuisines and ingredients so your family will never get bored hello fresh offers the flexibility that you need with customized orders every week you can change your delivery days add extra proteins and sides or change up the serving size or even skip a week whenever you need so ned and i are huge fans of pasta uh and right now they are doing this blackened chicken penne which is so good wes actually loves it he loves the the penne pasta super easy super delicious and it probably took us less than 30 minutes which is great when you've got a toddler running around like a banshee go to hellofresh.com sit with us 12 and use code sit with us 12 for 12 free meals including free shipping that's hellofresh.com sit with us 12 and use code sit with us 12. that will get you 12 free meals and free shipping like there is a part of the brand that is doing animal testing and all of the like you know other sub brands underneath that can benefit umbrella brands benefit from it but then say that they don't do animal testing on that brand because they don't yeah and certain formulations too like i know l'oreal some of their higher end brands if you compare like foundations a lot of the formulas are very very similar well it's just like you know they make jeans for you know target kmart and abercrombie and fitch in the same factory and it depends on what the price tag on them is what uh label goes on them yeah i'm pretty sure kylie cosmetics and colourpop cosmetics are the same formulation distributor yeah they're the same like manufacturers i had a friend who worked in a jean factory and he said the thing that was under lock and key was not the pants or the jackets it was the labels the hollister labels were under lock and key and the pants were like out in the warehouse is it so that like someone couldn't make just fake jeans and like stamp it because that's what's that's what's worth something yeah the label not the physical gene um it's not funny wow guys we should be like private investigators into like i feel like my mind is blown no more you can sit with us sorry cutie booties it is now crime junkies but for capitalism yeah let's gonna get to the truth where the capitalism crushers yeah it starts out like one of those um what's that book with like the the teenage sleuth nancy drew well definitely nancy drew yes i thought maybe there was it's not busy there was like a more more current version but i mean nancy drew is absolutely yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh harriet the spy there we go or like alex mack what about carmen san diego san diego by the end of season one of the show we just live off the grid we're done we're done with capitalism it's too dark miles is like chasing after us with microphones and he's like no ladies you have to use the technology and we're like get away from miles you have to come back in vermont leave us alone we're making our own goat milk she's rubbing it on her fingers you can barter with us we'll use kelsey's app spots swap skis we'll live on swap skis yes we'll trade for beads yeah all right well let's let's get back to it let's start with skincare and then we'll move on to makeup because you know you got to have a good base yep you have to have a good canvas for which to paint yeah a well well oiled canvas well lubricated see i this this it just blows my mind because it was probably it was not a year ago that i was like no oil no oil no oil i i just it has been drilled into my head my entire life yeah no oil on your face because it makes you break out and now i wear oil every night you know i like your oil every day changed my life changed my life maybe it's because i'm older and my skin needs the oil and so now like i i think it's working but oh my goodness i was so scared of oil so scared of oil i didn't even want to get like olive oil on my like face how do you feel about jennifer lopez's i can't remember if it was skincare or makeup but i just saw a headline about it and she was like my skin secret olive oil love you j lo but i just i love jlo but i'm like dude just be honest yeah you have you are getting if you're not getting botox you're not getting fillers whatever like power to you do what you want to do yeah even if you're not at least be like even alicia keys is like she goes makeup free on camera all the time she talks about how she goes to a like dermatologist esthetician like she talks about all the work that goes into her skin i just feel like jlo sometimes is like i put olive oil on my face and i'm like [ __ ] you're going to an esthetician every other day i know it i just know it yeah she looks incredible so yeah right she looks so good but like the secret to that is not olive oil it's like something between genetics and really good skincare yeah yeah taking the two together and yeah this weekend gwyneth paltrow you know her list of problems that she has she has so many so many problems uh but this weekend she did one of those vogue um go to bed with me or get ready with me whatever she was doing and she was like and so i put my sunscreen on i just like to do it at the high points of my face kind of like a highlighter oh my god so that she doesn't get burned there that's what she said and it was like ma'am you need to put a tablespoon i think it's like a tablespoon on your face and neck she's supposed to be like a beauty guru and she's like no she's like a problematic white lady guru i could go on and on and on about her intermittent fasting [ __ ] but that's not this episode i have this that's a different episode but ladies and gentlemen and put sunscreen folks put it all over your face everywhere and put it on your shoulders put on your shoulders not like me oops okay another question do we want to get into sunscreen since there was a couple questions okay yes how often do you have to reapply and should people look for spf in their uh makeup products so for your sunscreen you want to reapply every two hours but literally no one is doing that i don't know a single person someone asked me and i was like oh good point do you put it on over your makeup then you are supposed to yeah it's just supposed to get like applied on top of it move all your makeup that you worked so hard on at like 2 p.m yeah you're supposed like tap it on um i've never i i can't that just means if you're going to the beach or you're going on a strenuous hike yeah don't wear makeup wear sunscreen yeah and just keep going they also so i used to use um when i was like working outside a fair amount i would use the um powder oh yeah sunscreen it was like but then i found that it really dried out my face it makes sense you need that oil i need the oil yeah but the powders are good for like if you do want to do like if you get a little shiny during the day you can do a little touch-up with it but it's not going to be like reapplying your tablespoon of sunscreen which is also why i don't think it matters to buy sunscreen in your tobacco foundation with sunscreen in it yeah the you would have to use the whole bottle to get the amount of spf to actually be protective so i'm always kind of worried that it's watered down with whatever oils and pigment and stuff that's in it so it's not there's not really a good way to measure except by like taking for if at face value yeah this is spf 30 or spf 15 and your powder and you're like is it though yeah i don't know how much of this foundation do i need to use to actually make it be spf 30 yeah because some people like a lighter coverage some people like super heavy coverages and becky how do you treat sunburn so i usually do anything with aloe in it it's going to be super super healing um but i also just take any like hydrating oil like i have a sunburn on my chest and shoulders right now because i was ill-prepared for going outside didn't know it's going to be as sunny as it was yeah um and last night i just slathered myself in oil and then i topped it with some vaseline to like hold in all of those oils yeah i could i'm just imagining exactly going to bed slathered in oil and vaseline oh my god i'm just like when i go to bed i'm like damp from like head to toe and keep the like kissing and he's like okay a little bit there yeah keith's lips are going to be young forever yes yeah i try not to like i ned and i kind of do the like i do that too i wear a lip mask to bed and he said goes goodnight i was like i already put on my lip mask he's like well put on more i'm like no this is expensive that's all you get and so but sunscreen goes first right before you put on anything else before you put on any makeup okay i put it on last after all of my skincare i do sunscreen last okay it's usually like thickest moisturizers moisturizer use oil wash your face and then whatever you're doing then sunscreen as the base for makeup yes got it becky yeah skincare by decade what's best in your teens what's best in your 20s what's best in your 30s and beyond and beyond so universally wash your face put on moisturizer and do sunscreen that should be zack i know you're listening i know corn diddy this is for you yes yeah moisture wash your face sunscreen are all very important and then you know it it depends in your teens if you can go to a dermatologist or an esthetician if you're having any issues like acne um that's awesome but if you're a lot of kids like don't struggle with those things too so if there's nothing really going on with your face if it's not broke don't fix it like leave it alone and then in your 20s throw in some retinol um i've been loving retinol lately it's my fave make it happen can't we get in trying i've been sandwiching i've been doing it uh yeah i've been doing it every one three days it makes my face red when i use retinol for three or four days anything on my skin and cleaning water stings anything i think i'm just too sensitive how long do you wait in between doing your retinol treatments a full week sometimes oh interesting because i can't even put moisturizer on my face because it stings are you doing sunscreen yeah um i don't know becky's been working on this problem with me offline and she's given me some very good tips but i just i'm trying you might need a derm to give you like a specific moisturizer because maybe you're using just too high of a percentage because if you're not used used to using like acids yeah i think they can only go up to like two percent in retinol it's either one or two percent because it's not a um prescription because you're getting it you know uh from a department store in your 20s unless you're me in which case i should go see a doctor i had to i i'm having the same problem or like i was even using like the retin alt um and it i put it on and i had like red almost scabs near my hand yeah me too i looked like a raccoon it's so hard they i never used to put anything by my eyes but i have the most sensitive like if anything yeah i used a lot of acne products when i was going through my really tough cystic acne cycle and like i would just wait and for it to dry but even still sometimes i would have to change my pillowcase a little bit more frequently because even if it's dry it still tends to migrate when you sleep yeah it'll move so just be mindful of that or maybe like start out not as close to your eye because you do say like it helps with like wrinkles but your eye area and your skin area around there is so delicate very sensitive and just a pea-sized amount a teeny teeny tiny amount and then you do have to look at all of your other products like when i worked at lancome and even when i worked at the clean beauty or the natural beauty store um the number one thing i would find is people like returning things or saying that they had like irritation from something and they'd be like oh i was using this glycolic treatment or this bha treatment and i bought this retinol and i got like a horrible rash and i was like man we're not supposed to use those together yeah there are certain you know there is a point where you're putting too much on your face and too many active things yeah where you're just gonna end up doing more harm than good so always starting out like really small and only change one thing at a time yeah okay i want a baby face but i'm not getting it you have a baby face there are a lot of wrinkles on this baby face okay what about your 30s talk to the sofa over here yes you should still be doing the retinol okay what else what else you got uh if you can go to an esthetician go to an esthetician okay but at that point you just want to be like making sure you're like stimulating your face because you're losing collagen as you get older so like face massages yeah giving yourself a facial massage you could look up some and yeah so eastern medicine like you said like and rollers and things things like that the other expensive options are doing like micro currents what is micro currents it's like some sort of like i don't even know i'm like how does it work some sort of like yeah it's a little it's like a thing and it goes like beep beep beep beep beep like a new face i've ever seen a new face no is it like microdermabrasion no it doesn't like break your skin it just like helps stimulate the collagen and it's supposed to like if you use it consistent that's another thing it's like with all like skin care and any like tools that you're using if you're not using it consistently it doesn't matter really matter you have to be concerned that's how i feel about exercising which is why i'm like there's no point me exercising this one time i will not even do it what's the point what's the point if i'm not doing it three times a week um so then yeah as you're getting older if you want to do like a botox a filler uh there are other like procedures that you can do if that's something that you know you want i mean to explore those are options you know i've been really busy recently with just family stuff and work and i really i haven't

able to do it again it was such an easy like just way because i i am very self-conscious about the the wrinkles that i have we all are if you are in your teens and listening just take a thousand selfies right now just look at your skin just take it it's beautiful i appreciate it nothing wrong with wrinkles guys no you're right nothing wrong with wrinkles easy to say in theory and so hard to say when you're looking in the mirror yeah and you're just like okay yeah no there's nothing wrong with them but then when i see them on my face i don't love them yeah i want to age gracefully and also not age at all exactly exactly i'm trying really hard for to have my face not age but you know with all the sunscreens and and the retinals and all that kind of stuff but it's just the wrinkles on my forehead you know and i literally i like i can i feel them and so just like botox is such an easy way to just be like and then quick and then they're gone and then you know for a few months for a few months then you have to do it again and then they're gone for a few months and they have to do it again hello if you if you don't like the wrinkles get rid of them yeah if you like the wrinkles leave them we'll we'll grow into them who was it someone said something to zach one time about his wrinkles he's like i like my expressions because zach has like really big he totally does yeah but he's like no i like being able to see it but then and then he was like i saw him staring at himself in the crease but maybe oh i know he's like not right now yeah everybody has something i feel like that they are self-conscious about on their face you know yeah all right let's let me ask you something else okay is it actually possible for any product to reduce wrinkles or is it all a lie yeah other than botox which has proven effective mostly botox yeah it's gonna be things like a microcurrent like new face i don't know i keep like plugging new face what is that so unfortunately most of the things that are like this will get rid of your wrinkles or this will get rid of your dark spots that's marketing yeah but yeah things like retinol will fade like help sort of fade those wrinkles but not in a way that is that won't huge it's not going to prevent movement because it can moisturize and that like helps like when your skin is moving it won't be as tough i want to say and like yeah yeah it makes it more of a slippery surface but like as you age you're losing collagen so that's why you start to kind of deflate help you guys to drink collagen no i think you have to drink a lot of it yeah i want to say it's like powder cup there's some way that your body absorbs collagen that's not like i think pout it's like the powder is bad or the liquid is bad i forget which one okay um but also rachel for the vegetarian i know it's made from like cow but i would not do that because that but they do vegan halogen but they have a fish one that i um my sister-in-law said oh the collagen's really helping and then so i drank you know like i had a thing of it and i drank it from the fish i still look the same it seems like yeah i could see how it could be like good for your hair yeah i mean i don't think it's bad but i don't think i don't think it's gonna inflate your face to the way you would like it doesn't change not the way botox do you guys remember uh that stuff that they gave us in singapore the okay maybe it was just okay they were jars that were that that had bird's nest collagen in them oh do you remember them i did like a tiny bit of research because i was like am i going to die if i drink this yeah for anybody out there who like knows what we're talking about please send us an email because i just remember it's these it's these jars and it's supposed to be like a delicacy and and it's these jars that have a like literal bird's nest in them but it's twigs no but it's like made of collagen or something like that and it has like a special collagen in it uh that like a special bird made and and then you drink it you drink it and it's like and it's it's like uh it's like drinking a whole egg or something it's like i feel like ned had it right that definitely has definitely drink it in anything not only anything yeah but it's supposed to be really good for yourself that's why he's like really really good for you yeah i don't think i tried it but i like vaguely remember what you're talking about it's like jelly yeah it's like jelly yeah so is it from an egg i think it's from it i think it's actually a nest i don't understand why i don't know how a bird is living in a liquid nest i don't know how it yeah but i don't remember taking it home yeah i definitely took it down we have jars of it so i'll bring them up okay bring it in i would like to see okay but if you if you're at home and you're listening to this and you drink collagen and you [ __ ] love your collagen you keep drinking your college i do think there's some protein in collagen so if you're adding it to your coffee or something in the morning then yeah it's it's like bolstering the nutrition a bit um okay what is the right order of products to use on your skin tell us the abcs what are you layering in what order so you should the like general rule of thumb is the thicker it is the later it goes on okay so you want to do things that are really light first and then you know move forward but there are certain things like um hyaluronic acid if you're gonna use a hyaluronic acid your face needs to be a little damp before if you're gonna use retinol your face should be dry completely dry not a lick of moisture on it or you're gonna get that flaking you get out of the shower all night i've got a shower i've washed my face then i put on a little misty mist of what water oh it's like a like a sensitive toner yeah okay what is toner toner i didn't realize how important it was for me because i'd shed skin so quickly but it helped me when whenever i'd get really flaky it helps with like dead skin so i have like my little it helps it come off faster helps it stay on it helps me like when i like do my toner like i notice i have like brown on my like little oh my flannel pads yeah yeah so it kind of helps me cleanse my skin one step after cleaning it already to prep it for my fur exfoliating it depends on the one you're using yeah she's using an exfoliating one mine could have a hydrating one okay i could have one that has bhas in it i feel like toner is expensive water that doesn't do anything some of them definitely are okay yeah yeah some of them absolutely are mostly like water and like a dash of oil yeah and you're like definitely this just seems like water yeah i either use a sensitive one that's just like feels nice and like was probably sent to me by someone so i'm like might as well yeah or an active toner okay so one that has like a bha or an aha in it so that is helpful it's it's type of exfoliant yeah and it'll help with um like little breakouts if you get like little maps i heard that i think i read somewhere that toner helps rebalance the ph of your skin after cleansing it because when you cleanse it it kind of like throws off your ph but depending on i mean there's so many different kinds and cleansing is meant to just remove dirt right like dirt and oils yeah makeup pollution whatever's on dust boogers i'm not gonna lie i mean i i definitely blow my nose when i'm washing my face i love blowing my nose in the shower who doesn't spray it everywhere it's so sad don't shower it maggie i don't want to have to squeegee that thing so much okay so toner mist yeah toner mist you don't have to do that if you have one or you like one go for it um and then i'll usually put on like my serum okay what's your serum doing depends on the you know what one i'm using that day i use like a lot of stuff because i try them and then review them so like i don't stick to too many things like consistently i'll use a whole bottle and then move on to another one so like one time i was using a cbd serum that was for hydration so i was using that in the winter time and now i think the one i use is like a brightening one so it has a lot of like rose hip and um i think there's some grape seed oil in it you know okay you got a serum you got a serum and then i put on my moisturizer which is creamy creamy yes i use a creamy moisturizer typically like if you use a moisturizer that's more like a gel or like thinner that's going to be for someone that's a little more oily or someone yeah you want something that's like a lighter consistency but if you're drier you're going to want something that has like a thicker heavier consistency i use both i use like a hydrating gel and then a hydrating um cream yeah and then an oil yeah and then you can top it with things too you can put an oil on top of that just kind of feel like you're sealing everything in oil goes last yeah basically another way you could think about it is what do you want to work the later it goes on other than sunscreen the less it's going to work because you have other things on your skin can only take so much like the people that do those you know 15 step skin care routines if that works for you don't don't change what you're doing keep doing what you're doing um but there's just no way that that last product you put on your face is doing the heavy lifting yeah is gonna you're not gonna get the benefits that you wanna see out of it so typically i just stick to like three things in my sunscreen okay so okay so tell me if i'm doing something wrong okay because well your skin looks beautiful so i think you're doing it right you're doing it right ariel probably just makeup okay so i okay so i do uh oil at night right and so then in the morning i will either take a shower or i will just rinse my face i won't use like any products uh you know to like wash the oil off my face so i'll leave so i'll try to like leave the oil on there then i put on a vitamin c serum love that that i think has a little bit of like yeah i love i love that journey for you mm-hmm very good for sun protection yeah good for fading anything is it i have a vitamin c serum but it sometimes does the same thing retinol does which it feels a little intense i've been trying to like i love the gurus over here being like let's help our moms so i've been trying to lower the number of things that i put on my face so i love that because because i feel like i feel like so many of them make my face like red like red and blue and so okay so so try not to use a or i try not to use a um uh cleanser on my face in the morning because my face is clean you don't need it clean your pillows right and then i put on my vitamin c serum and then i actually skip a moisturizer and go straight to the ilia serum yeah with spf okay and i just pile that on because i find it very hydrating yeah you know and i just put that on and that seems to do it for me but that's probably why i'm dry around here because i only use i use like a really thick moisturizer at night with oil on top of it what if you just put your moisturizer on your dry areas could you just go around yeah outside because then because if it's working with like your makeup and everything to just do the ilia and you feel like very dehydrated by it keep doing that and then just put your moisturizer around the cause like i almost feel too oily down the center and then dry on the outside yeah compound skin yeah combo skin it's like that is the definition of combination skin yeah every body is unique there are a lot of misconceptions out there about what is good for your body and it's pretty hard to separate the good advice from the bad advice that's why nume uses a different approach to fitness psychology based in science and built by psychologists noom doesn't give you rules but instead teaches you how to think so you can accomplish your personal health goals and stick with them long term and get healthy for good i tested it out and for me it was about 10 minutes a day with a personalized coach and they really helped me understand my goals one of the specific goals that i wanted to achieve was just in general feeling good about myself and kind of having less stress and really improving my sense of self-worth based in psychology nume teaches you why you make the choices you do and gives you the tools to replace your habits with healthier ones noom's cognitive behavioral approach means you're not just improving your health you're gaining the knowledge and habits you need to stay healthy there's a science to getting healthier and it's called noom sign up with your trial today at noomnoom.com sit with us learn how to get healthy with noom sign up for

years ago full face of estee lauder makeup to bed every night and she still has beautiful she's beautiful she has no blemishes she has nothing she looks really young we know where becky gets it from yeah maybe she's born with it maybe it's jeanette maybe maybe kimberly yeah but she went to bed with double wear on her face every night wow mascara blush yeah everything some people don't need people don't need it yeah i don't feel guilty it's exactly capitalism i know you ever feel guilty about something it's capitalism they want to make you buy things they want to make you buy things and they want to make you doubt yourself and need more [ __ ] yeah absolutely walking down the aisles at target i'm like why are there like 7 billion brands of x y and z i was like just yeah just tell me what to buy they want you to buy stuff yeah well i want wait but we're not done you do then then you put on your spf oh yeah okay yep spf and then makeup and then makeup and sometimes i put on two spfs just because i have two laying around whoa they don't protect you but if you put like zinc on top of oil or something like that doesn't it get all like clumpy and gross um i mean i would wait a little bit i think you should wait do all your skincare and then you know brush your teeth or do your hair and then put your sunscreen on is your favorite sunscreen cocoa cocoa kind coca-cola baby okay my jam i love it it's like i need them to make a jumbo size i've messaged them many times any time they're like she wants a pumpkin you need a refill and i'm like yes and i need you to make this sunscreen in a full body size i was like i am going through tube after tube after two so i will say it is a zinc based sunscreen so if you are if your complexion isn't as fair as mine then you will have a very slight um white cast that is on top of the skin but there are tons of other really great black girl sunscreen has an amazing um sunscreen it's an amazing sunscreen that works for like every skin tone mm-hmm it's like one of the only ones i found that people have given like super good reviews okay live from the newsroom we are dumping makeup to another episode we won't make it too far it's just too good guys it's just too good and we're going to keep working on our skin okay yeah i love that journey like i've been watching shit's creek again my mom i love it i love that journey for you thoughts on night versus day cream what's your favorite nighttime routine so people ask me all the time on instagram also i'm gonna give myself a little plug here you guys are always commenting becky drop your skincare routine you guys need to follow me i drop it like once a week i tell people not hiding it becky's entire instagram is like uh political activism and skincare yeah get on to see both of those yeah um what was the question i forgot i was too busy plugging myself and cats you have a trifecta oh yes activism and skincare yes um what is your nighttime routine so my nighttime routine for me personally i don't care about my day cream versus a night cream oh okay that sounds like marketing never made a difference in my skin yeah typically it would be the like difference that you would see on a label would be more hydrating ingredients at night time unless it was like a specific like night mask then it might have something that's a little more exfoliating in it but in general for me personally i don't have two different creams i use the same moisturizer morning and night and so my routine is actually the exact same at night time unless i'm using retinol and then i'll just wash my face i'll wait like five ten minutes depending on how antsy i feel and then put my retinol on wait five more minutes put my moisturizer on and call it a day okay and you will notice i've never said i wear an eye cream because i don't capitalism capitalism capitalism i've never like i'm always like oh a tiny additional thing i have to have for my eyes no thank you no just use your moisturizer unless you have an eye cream that you love and it's making you feel good then keep using it yeah but like in general but in general if you're stressing about do i need an eye cream the answer is probably not what is the retinol sandwich oh a retinol sandwich this one you're getting started in retinol especially if you have sensitive skin or you're not used to using a lot of actives so like um lactic ac any kind of like acid is going to be an active ingredient um should we all be using active ingredients should everyone have an acid of some kind in their skin care routine if you're not like 18 and just drop that gorgeous as is yeah i would say like in your 20s you probably like maybe like your mid to late 20s you can throw in an acid but your early 20s usually pretty good okay um but it's going to depend on your skin so if you're more acneic you might want more of an acid to do some more exfoliating for you um but again if if you like your skin the way it is and you're happy with your routine don't it's not if it's not broken don't fix it okay yeah um i personally used a [ __ ] ton of acids on my face like i've done any if there's an acid out there i've put it on my face and even for me the retinol was too much the first couple nights i tried it um so you wanna do what's called a moisture sandwich okay so you're going to put your moisturizer on and then you're going to let that completely dry because again if there's any moisture on your face when you put on retinol that's what's going to lead to more irritation it's going to make you flaky it's going to make you red um you'll get that like stinging sensation so you wait till it's completely dry then you put your retinol on just a pea-sized amount that's all you need for your whole face and you put it on your whole face whole face i don't do my eyes i'm just i have too many allergies and i rub my eyes way too often to put anything that would make me go blind i have been doing it completely wrong i only put it on my eyes you only put right now i put it here ariel was it a specific like i know they do make sense specifically like eye retinol products it's the drunk elephant retinol oh that's what i use because i read that it was good for sensitive skin we don't stand drunk elephant frankie says no we don't like it can we go shopping online shopping together i need some help and i just have to say if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant do not use retinol it will poison your fetus it's too much vitamin a no retinol and keep it away from your small children as well obviously i think also if you're breastfeeding and you have like a young child you're not supposed to use retinol either because if they suck on your face this is why new mothers look so tired guys because they're not going to see anything they're not allowed to do anything to their face oh man um i have to bounce because you know this is this is my side hustle not my main gig um so i'm gonna let you guys read your side podcast by yourself you're my very lovely mistresses i love you all so much yeah we are the favorites but i'll see you guys next time see you next time bye i i feel like i need to go home and just completely change everything so really the message is don't change everything no don't change you're going to change anything one at a time one more time only change one thing at a time because and let it work for about two weeks so that you can see if your skin does have a reaction then you'll know what it you know what it was okay um and also if you like your skincare routine just because you see someone online say like oh you should be using this product if you like the way your skin looks and you're happy with that don't change it just keep using what you're using like don't feel pressured to buy a bunch of stuff and most importantly like don't throw your stuff out unless it's like giving you a horrible allergic reaction or i don't know something crazy happens with it don't throw it out use it on your body if you can use it up and then buy a new thing but so many times people will have like you know a ton of products and then they just throw them out because they're not using it or because they used half a bottle and they didn't get you know any of the results that they wanted to see you do need to use something for about six weeks to see actual results okay and is there are there like special places that you can if you if you know you're not going to use it is there a place that you can send it like is apparently nordstrom is starting to do stair cycle over the recycled paracycle where that one you have to clean out but if you have a makeup or skincare product that's not if it's gently used and by gently i mean you used it like once or twice there are women shelters that will take it so you just have to like look them up online and then what maggie's talking about is terracycle which is most cosmetic packaging can't be recycled through curbside pickup i mean most of the things that we put in recycling can't be recycled through curbside pickup um but there are companies like terracycle who if you clean out the packaging they will make sure that it gets separated and sorted and sent to the correct facilities and there are places like credo which is an online beauty store they also have physical locations where you can bring in your used skincare and makeup when it's empty and all cleaned out and you give it to them for terracycle and then they give you points and then use those points for shopping because capitalism buy more buy more wow tell me about expiration dates many people myself included up until maybe a year ago i did not know that when you flip your skincare or makeup over and there is a number and a little open package that is how long it lasts once you open it yeah are those real what like what does that mean does that mean at exactly 12 months you have to chuck that thing like what what are we talking about here so it's usually so it'll be yeah and a jar with an open lid and then i'll say like six months 12 months whatever and that's from the time the product is exposed to air so basically the first time you pump it the first time you open the package you have six months to use it before if there's an active ingredient in it it's not going to be like if you have a vitamin c serum they're notorious for like you need to use that in like a month that's not going to be something that you keep that one product for months and months and months because the vitamin c is not going to be i have seen them get discolored yes and that's usually the sign that they're past their prime also things can get discolored the same way like um beer bottles so corona for example is in a clear bottle but like a heinekens and a dark green bottle it's because when the light hits the beer it'll actually change the flavor of it wow so the same thing happens with makeup so if you leave your makeup or skincare products in somewhere that either gets really hot so like the bathroom um or you expose it to a ton of light then it could get discolored um or like maybe smell a little skunky my rule of thumb is for makeup especially if it smells skunky then it is skunky yeah get ready you know get rid of it it's like smells like if if it smells yeah chuck it if it smells chuck it um with skin care just see how long it says that it can be good for on the back and then i also like to check the frequency that they want you to use it like i remember i was using this one um i'm looking at you because i think you tried it too it was this pump i forget what it was but it said that it had like a six months expiration date but it only wanted you to use it every three to five days i think and i was like you mathematically that doesn't give you a full or like it was like you had to use it in a month or something like that but it was like not using the full product before they said it was going to expire and i was like what the heck does it make sense yeah i would just try and like just use it up nothing you're not going to keep up if you're keeping your moisturizer for a year throw it out that's too long things like blush and stuff i pretty much hold on to those especially if they're powder yeah oh yeah as long as it doesn't smell yeah you could spray it with alcohol every once in a while to just make sure that it's like nice and clean no bacteria no bacteria but i have like i have one lipstick that my mom got she got it in a free gift when i was in high school and you still wouldn't i still haven't foundations serum stuff like that like yeah actually may cause problems i'm a little bit more strict but other stuff i'm like yeah eyeshadows oh my god i've had eye shadows for years yeah what about mascara if you break out mascara oh my gosh i probably it starts to harden after a while you gotta get rid of that mascara that's the one that i'm like pretty yeah boogies yeah i wear contact lenses too so like i have to be there just be very careful yeah you want to be really careful but if your mascara or your eyeliner if it's like a liquid form if it ever dries out put an eye drop in it like a little like visine eye because it'll like reactivate it and make it a little wet and then it won't irritate your eye because it's right but also if something's irritating your eyes stop putting it off yeah yeah i used to have like a lash growth serum my eyelids turned into like pillows because i was super allergic too my eyelashes were beautiful i was swelling i'll have to show you a photo later well guys that is all the time we have for today we just it was supposed to be skincare and makeup but we got into it we got into it there's a lot to
