00:00Hey guys, it's Alessia Cara, and this is my skincare routine because it doesn't happen overnight.
00:19I usually cleanse with wet hands, then I take the cleanser.
00:24This is the special cleansing gel by Dermalogica.
00:27It's a really great brand.
00:30I'll put like that much in my hand.
00:32I don't know if that's too much or too little, but that's what I use.
00:36So it gets like a little like sudsy or something, and then I go for it.
00:42Here we go.
00:43Before 2018, I would literally wash my face with hand soap.
00:48It was terrible, and my skin was always so dry and I never knew why.
00:51And that's probably why.
00:52That's actually very much why.
00:54I started taking care of my skin, and it transformed it, honestly.
00:57Because before that, it was like really dry and really bumpy.
01:02There.
01:03And then I just like massage it in for about a minute or something just to really cleanse it.
01:09If there's ever time where I have makeup on, I usually double cleanse, but right now I don't have anything on.
01:16And this is like my morning routine, so no double cleanse, just like a water-based cleanser.
01:25And then just wipe it off.
01:28Make sure that all of your cleanser is off.
01:30Leaving it on the skin too long just like irritates it.
01:33All right.
01:34Nice and fresh and clean.
01:35Up next right now is toner.
01:37A couple times a week I will exfoliate in between the toner and the cleansing.
01:41But it's not my exfoliation day, so we're just gonna move straight to toner.
01:46Which is this one right here?
01:48It's the Paula's Choice Replenishing Toner.
01:51I try to just use things that are like replenishing, nourishing, hydrating, etc.
01:59As the beauty gurus do.
02:02And then I like hold it up.
02:04I just put it on my hands.
02:05You can like use a cotton pad.
02:07I just do it on my hands.
02:09I'll put like probably too much on, but that's what I do.
02:12And then I go right in.
02:14I try to use it like on my most dry areas, which are like here, usually on my nose, in my forehead.
02:23Any like remaining product, I always try to like bring it down to my neck too.
02:27So, there we go.
02:29Moving on.
02:30The next step is vitamin C serum, which to me has become super important.
02:37I'm a face picker and I get dark spots because of the scarring, which sucks.
02:41So, I incorporated vitamin C just to help with like the dark spots.
02:46It's cheaper than taking lessons on how to not pick your face in therapy.
02:51Vitamin C serum.
02:53Use AM and PM on cleansed skin.
02:56Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck.
03:00That's not pea-sized, but that's orange.
03:04I just put it like mainly on my cheeks where I get all the scarring and like hyperpigmentation and all that stuff.
03:11So, next step is snail mucin.
03:18Sounds gross, and it probably is, but it's amazing.
03:22There we go.
03:23Oh, that didn't happen.
03:25This is very, very hydrating for your skin.
03:28It has a lot of benefits.
03:32That was good.
03:33Oh.
03:35I don't love that.
03:36I don't love that sound.
03:38I just put this all over the same way that you would do with like a moisturizer or the cleanser.
03:43Just, or kind of just do it all over.
03:45Like, can you hear that?
03:46Can you hear that?
03:49I really like this because my skin gets, like I said, extremely dry, especially in the winter.
03:55And this just really helps keep my face like, glowy and hydrated and like bouncy.
04:01It's also supposed to help skin texture.
04:03Moving on.
04:04Oh, wait.
04:05Moving on.
04:07Moisturizer.
04:09This is the Naturium multi-peptide moisturizer.
04:12As you can see, it's very worn out because I use this all the time.
04:16And I use a lot of it.
04:17I need my skin to be moisturized at all times because it really just sucks up all of the water for some reason.
04:23I apply like a thick layer of this at the end of my routine just to like lock in everything we just did.
04:28Because if you don't do that then it'll just go away.
04:31Like already it's kind of feeling drier than it was.
04:34This is, I don't know what to do to make noises.
04:38I'm running out so I won't use too much.
04:40I'll just put like one or two.
04:45Or three.
04:48And I'll just put it on.
04:49It also smells kind of nice too.
04:51I like this because it's like thick enough that it locks in the moisture but it's not too thick where it'll start to like break me out.
05:04Next, eye cream.
05:05This is the ELF Holy Hydration eye cream with hyaluronic acid and peptides.
05:13I like to take care of my eye area because I have really dark circles.
05:17Really you're supposed to use your ring finger.
05:20The ring finger is supposedly like the lightest to the touch.
05:23And your eye area is like the most sensitive.
05:30Voila. Almost there.
05:32This is next.
05:33This is sunscreen.
05:35Arguably the most important step.
05:37This is the Aveeno eye-
05:39Protect and Hydrate sunscreen for your face.
05:42It's SPF 50 which is like really strong.
05:44That was good.
05:47That was a satisfying one.
05:50I'll use like that much.
05:56I really like this sunscreen because it doesn't leave a white cast.
06:01And I try to put it like around my eyes and just areas that are like prone to like wrinkling up and that feel most sensitive.
06:07And then I always bring it to my neck as well.
06:09Almost there.
06:12This is the last one for my face.
06:17It's just a lip serum by PCA Skin.
06:21And it's just like hyaluronic acid lip serum.
06:25This one doesn't make a ton of noise.
06:28It just helps your lips stay like really hydrated.
06:30Especially in the winter.
06:32Done.
06:35Alright.
06:36This is the final step now.
06:38Moisturizer.
06:40And perfume.
06:41Fresh after my shower.
06:42I will apply this Brazilian bum bum cream.
06:46Boom bum cream.
06:47Don't know how to say it.
06:48But it smells delicious.
06:49And I'll put it like on my neck and chest and like upper arms.
06:53To allow my perfume to like stick to it.
06:56And it smells so good.
06:59Voila.
07:00Here it is.
07:03There's always like residue on the top.
07:05So I just take it from the top.
07:07And I'll take like that much.
07:09And then I put it on my neck and my chest area.
07:15And then my upper arms here.
07:18So that way when like people are coming up to you and hugging you it's like oh that's what they smell.
07:23And then while that's still like nice and moist.
07:28I'll take a perfume oil or a- I can't get it open cause my- it's too moisturized.
07:34I'm too nourished.
07:36I'll take a perfume oil and I'll just put it on.
07:39This is the Nest Madagascar Vanilla.
07:41I love it.
07:42It smells so good.
07:43And the key is just to overdo it honestly.
07:45And then I put it on my arms.
07:46Here.
07:47I don't know why.
07:48I put it here.
07:49And on my wrists.
07:51And just anywhere.
07:52Literally anywhere you can get it on.
07:55Love it in.
07:57And voila.
07:59Thank you guys so much for sitting with me and doing my skincare.
08:02I hope you took something from it that you like that you might want to use in your life.
