Skincare Basics: Morning & Night

hello everyone I want to talk to you today about basic skincare this is this is going to be a video about if you're just beginning a skincare program or you're someone who doesn't have the time to invest in putting on several layers of skincare products you just need the basics because you really want to take care of your skin or maybe you don't want to spend a lot of money um that's okay too because you could you can spend thousands of dollars on skincare products you don't have to you can but you don't have to so this video is going to be about basic skin care quick easy out the door so let's get started so let's talk about what you do in the morning so in the morning you're going to want to wash off whatever it is you had on your face last night whatever skincare you use during the night sometimes you sweat at night and also your skin cells are turning over rapidly when you sleep at night and you need to wash that off of your face that way you have a good clean palette to start the day with so a product that I like to use first thing in the morning is the L Ro POS this is the hydrating gentle cleanser it's a really nice large size bottle and it comes with pump I love a product with pump this is a really gentle cleanser it's unscented it's for sensitive skin but anybody can use this it gets the job done it it doesn't lather up which is nice because you don't want it to be drying and it rinses off just as easily it's an excellent morning skin care cleanser it is soap free sulfate free fragrance free it's got ceramides and nice cinnamide in it all good things in this product again this is a l Ro POS and everything I talk about today I will go ahead and Link down below so you can go ahead and pick this up if that's something you're interested in then the next thing that you you really have to do is after you cleanse your face you absolutely have to apply a moisturizer and you need an SPF doesn't matter if it's winter doesn't matter if it's summer you need SPF we're picking up rays of sun they're bouncing off the cement you're getting damage from blue light on your devices you have to protect your skin with a sunscreen and that's not just for vanity purposes of keeping away a sunburn you can get skin cancer it also secondary to smoking sun damage is the number one eight thing that you can do to age your skin secondary to smoking so it's a cheap way to keep your skin looking good for the long term so a product that I really like is this is the seravee ultra light moisturizing lotion with an spf30 this is phenomenal this is great for sensitive skin let's focus camera there we go this is great for sensitive skin it's got your SPF in it it's a onestep shot you just dispense a little bit of it apply it to your face face neck and your deete don't forget these areas because they really show signs of aging so it's a quick one step out the door and then you're protected and you're moisturized this and this and if you want a little bit of tint to your skin go ahead to the drug store and pick you up a BB cream or a CC cream these are wonderful they've got a little bit of tint in them and they're very light it doesn't look like you've got a heavy makeup look going they're a very minimist minimalist look but they do give you a little bit of color especially in the winter time whenever body's a little bit pale um it just gives you a little bit of color draws some light to your face so go ahead and pick one of those up so in the evening Switching gears you're going to want to take off any makeup that you had do not ever sleep in your eye makeup or any makeup for that matter it can clog your pores it's very damaging to your face go ahead and take off your eye makeup get yourself a good eye makeup remover the one that I swear by and I've been using since it came out is the Mary Kay oilfree eye makeup remover you give it a good shake to activate it this work some waterproof eye makeup or regular makeup or eye makeup rather well it's gentle it's non drying and it will really clean your lashes off really nicely so that you have a nice clean slate in the morning follow that up again with a cleanser again go ahead in with your L Ro POS gentle hydrating cleanser and wash the day off exfoliation is a really important step in skin care because it helps to manually remove the dead skin cells on your face now you could go ahead and invest in an exfoliation product if you're pressed for time short on money or just can't be bothered just grab yourself an ordinary washcloth and when you apply your facial cleanser just go ahead and work the washcloth in circular motions and it'll do a really good job of exfoliating your skin and also help to remove a lot of the makeup one thing to note about the washcloths that you use on your face if you suffer from sensitive skin when you wash your washcloth that you're going to use on your face do not use any type of fabric softener the reason being is the fabric softener can irritate your skin because you're actually when you add the water to it to do your face with it you're actually activating that you'll get the fabric softener on your face and you're going to have a reaction if you're sensitive and you're going to think oh jeez I hate the cleanser that's what you're going to blame it on because you're going to think that's what it was and it's really not it was the fabric softener in your wash l so whatever you do if you have sensitive skin when you wash your washcloths don't put any type of suns or sunscreen all I talk about is sunscreen because it is just so important don't put any fabric softener on your washcloths so you've exfoliated your skin or or cleansed your skin then you want to go in with I I highly recommend if you're going to do anything for your skin the gold standard for skincare for anti-aging really is a retinol product or retinoid uh those are like you maybe have heard of troan you have to get these products from a dermatologist or there are a lot of um online companies that you can do a consultation with and they'll send it to you uh you can go ahead and look those up or I'll list some down below that I'm that I'm aware of that I've used actually in the past to see what they're like uh curology I think is one and they'll uh mix you up one and send it out to you it really it really is the gold standard and anti-aging for your skin takes away uh hyperpigmentation just a lot of things to help with anti-aging if you're not interested in taking that step there are some over-the-counter reor retinor products that you can get uh one that's really nice the highest that you can get is differen gel if you've never used one of these products before do start low because it can be very irritating when you first begin I think I have a video that I've talked about how to retinization should do because it is a process to to build up to that but I highly recommend that you consider doing that okay so you'd cleanse your skin then you're going to apply your tronoid troan or your retinoid if you have one if you don't you're going to go in you want to use a really good moisturizer when you sleep it's so many things happen to our skin when we're sleeping the skin cells are rapidly turning over and this is a wonderful opportunity when when at night it's like your skin is rejuvenating there's a lot going on in your skin at night so you really want to know that you're applying really good products for when you're sleeping another product I'm going to recommend by cave I really love the cave line is the PM facial moisturizing lotion and it's Ultra lightweight I really love this because it doesn't get all over your pillow doesn't feel slimy or greasy a little dabble do you don't forget do your face your neck and your deete very important to not neglect these areas of your face if you're struggling with some extremely dry skin or maybe a patch of dry skin which is what I have going on right now because I got a little overzealous with my tro in and uh did it a little too much so I've got some peelies going on what you do is you can do some slugging as they call it so what that is is you apply your moisturizer and then you go in with something like this this is the cave healing ointment and do you think I have a big enough tub of this I mean this is going to last me me and like my great great grandchildren this thing is so dag on big because all you need is a little drob I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this honest to goodness I mean I just wanted it so I grab grabbed like I I went in and I grabbed a jug literally we got a jug of this healing wa I'm just going to put it on everything anyhow so you would moisturize that really dry area and then what you're going to do is go in with this and just apply that right over wherever you would have a really dry area because this will as you sleep overnight this is really going to moisturize those extremely dry areas or if you're really you know if you don't you're not really invested in eye cream you could also dab this underneath your eyes while you're sleeping it's amazing it does so much so much moisturization while you're sleeping it's I I absolutely love this product another thing you can do is apply it to your lips while you're sleeping or even during the day if you've got chapped lips this is a wonderful product highly moisturizing it's not expensive and it's very gentle for your skin you are looking for an easy way to start a skincare regimen or maybe you've got a couple of kids and you just don't have time to invest in your skin at this point in your life these are the products that I recommend thank you so much for joining me in today's video do me a favor before you leave please go ahead and
