alright let's get started to start the
skincare routine i'll be using the mario
descu
enzyme cleansing gel it's formulated
with papaya extract and grapefruit
extract which helps rejuvenate and
refreshes the skin
i use about a quarter size amount and
apply this all over the face
it's very nice and gentle on the skin
and it leaves it really bright and
refreshed it helps remove excess oil and
any building surface impurities to help
with the complexion
i've been using mario badescu products
for a really long time and i love how
it's so gentle on the skin
and they're really effective back to
cleansing i'll do this for about a
minute or so and then rinse with warm
water and then get into exfoliation
here i'll be using the lula hendrickson
lemonade
smoothing scrub this is a really nice
scrub that helps polishes
and helps reduce the size of pores with
the ahas
lemon peel and sugar now be warned that
if you do have any redness or irritation
or maybe
cuts or something i would definitely
wait for that area to heal before
putting this on because it will sting
after using the scrub my skin feels
extremely
smooth and that's because of the high
potency of ahas in it
it has 10 glycolic and lactic acid which
chemically exfoliate and visibly even
the texture of the skin
it's also for your parabens formaldehyde
sulfates it's vegan gluten free and
cruelty free which is a big bonus
my skin honestly feels amazing now i'm
going to get into steaming my face
because what is a facial without steam
this is just my nifty steamer i use in
all of my videos i just got it off
amazon if you're interested in this
powerful face steamer i'll link it down
below i have peach fuzz everywhere now
you guys i have
not been razoring my face at all i've
been way too busy but today
i'm making the time for it the areas
where i have the peach fuzz
is like on the upper areas of my
forehead and on the
chin and also near the jawline so i'm
just going to go
in the direction of the hair and gently
razor the peach fuzz off
once i do this my skin feels so much
softer and it's just
cleaner around the edges and also it
makes it smoother for a makeup
application as well
a great skincare tip for after you shave
or after you razor your face is to
use a toner this is the pharmacy
deep sweep two percent bha poor cleaning
toner with moringa and papaya now that
is a muffle
it is an alcohol free toner and it's
great for combination and oily skin
i love using some cotton pads and just
dousing
the toner in it and then swiping it all
over the face and neck
what's also great about this toner is
that it is water-like and contains
a blend of salicylic acid moringa water
and papaya enzyme
table to shine and minimize the look of
pores which is really crucial especially
if you have it in a facial in a long
time
like i have this is a must do
you guys i don't even remember the last
time i did a sheet mask it's been so
long
that's why this one called out to me it
is the pacifica stress rehab coconut and
caffeine facial mask
it is great for redness puffiness from
too
many late nights and not those kind of
like nights you guys
late nights that include a baby and just
being overly exhausted so this
is definitely something i need today i
also
really like the detail of the cut out
hearts for the eyes
very nice very cute and this mask once
put on
actually does feel a little bit tingly
there's a little bit of coolness
and i can feel it working it's also
really good for
stressed skin which i definitely have i
leave this on for about 10 minutes
and then i just remove i can see
that it's been penetrating to the skin
and reminder when you do your masks
don't rinse it off
just let it absorb put it into the skin
use your fingers and bring it down the
neck and even put a little bit on your
fingernails if those are dry
just try and use all of that moisture
because i know some masks do pack a lot
of hydration and moisture in it just use
it everywhere else
now let's get into nail care because you
guys it's been so long since i have like
been to the salon i usually go to
varnish in vancouver and i haven't been
there in such a long time i miss it so
much
but as of now i'm doing my nails at home
i also bought this electric nail file
which has been on god's end because
it just buffs my nails so nice and
smooth and when i put like my
polish on it just goes on perfectly and
it's just much easier to use than just
like manually doing an electric
filer is just so much better
when it comes to my nails and especially
when i'm doing them myself i am the most
basic person and also i just don't trust
myself to do like
really bright and bold colors because
i've just not mastered at
applying my nail polish that way yet so
i'm just going to keep it really simple
i also bought this cuticle pusher which
is really
nice to just even out the nail beds
because my cuticles actually come up
quite far
so pushing them a little bit totally is
fine but i don't push them in too much
just because it kind of hurts afterwards
so i'm just going to get this all done
prepped and then i'm going to use
my favorite butter london the horse
power nail rescued
base coat and guys this is all i use
i've been using this
for like the last five six months and i
love this polish it's just a clear
polish but it's actually
good for your nails and i just feel like
they just make them look so natural and
it's nice and i just love it
i'm going to do all of my nails i'll do
the other side but i'm going to show you
that because that's pretty
straightforward and then i'm going to be
using
the sc nail oil because oh
my nails these days are so dry and
brittle and my fingers too
even the skin around it just because of
all the sanitization and all the washing
having this oil is definitely helpful
i just put it around the cuticles and
just make sure to rub it in
and then ta-dah brand new nails feeling
like a new person
and to top off the hydration for my
fingers because it's still probably a
little bit dry i'm going to be using the
mrs meyers clean day hand lotion in oat
blossom
this stuff smells great it's very
hydrating i also use
the body lotion as well it's just one of
my favorite all-time moisturizers
now for massage you guys my
theragan is my new best friend when it
comes to
giving myself some massage near
my neck area and my back because of
always being on the computer
and also carrying a 25 pound baby
there's just a lot of added stress and
tension in these areas so
i love using right there again this is
the there again mini
and my pain points are
around like the neck and shoulder area
and
my back also my shoulder blades i work
at a computer
edit filming sitting a lot so this area
definitely gets over
stretched my arm t says i need to
stretch the front of my butt and do more
front exercises to strengthen
the neck the back and the arms
so that's definitely something i need to
work on another area that i love using
the theragan on is my feet
i used to live in an apartment where
there was carpet all over and i never
really had any sort of like
calf tightness or muscle like tightness
in my
leg area but now that my house has
hardwood flooring throughout
it's really taken a toll on my knees my
calves
so i've definitely been using this for
releasing that tension and just to
massage out those kinks
and this honestly feels so good you guys
and please don't mind my heels i know
they're
cracked i do need to put some emotion on
them but just wanted to show you guys
my little self-care routine i hope you
guys enjoyed it if you did i want to see
