00:00Hi, I'm Felicia Walker, a skincare and beauty expert, and today I'm going to show you how a
00:09simple, easy skincare routine can change everything. No, seriously, it changes everything.
00:16Can we all agree that taking care of your skin is an important step in your self-care routine?
00:22Oh, oh wait, no? This is going to take longer than 10 minutes.
00:27Let's get into our self-care routine. So for me, in the evenings, that typically means a little bit
00:33of journaling, setting my intentions for the next day. I've got my sleep mask ready for a good night's
00:39sleep, and I've got my bonnet, but what happens after the bonnet? Let's get into that part.
00:45Unfortunately for a lot of us, skincare is not translating into self-care. It seems like something
00:51extra that's added onto the side, but skincare is self-care, and it can be simple. Let's start
00:58by breaking down your top skincare concerns. Oh, dark spots? Okay, I heard dark spots over there.
01:03Same, sis, same. What else? What else? What else? I'm hearing, wait, what am I hearing? Are we
01:08rough texture? Like, okay, okay, yes. Got you. Got you. Come on, come on. What else are we getting?
01:15What else am I hearing? Uneven texture? Yes. Uneven texture. Definitely a major concern. Wait,
01:22did someone say clogged pores? Oh, you are speaking my language. So let me show you a simple and easy
01:30skincare routine that can address all of these top concerns. Y'all ready? Let's go. So here's the
01:36thing about an effective skincare routine. It doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be
01:43targeted. So in having a targeted skincare routine, it doesn't mean that the routine
01:50is going to be complicated. It means that you're just building it out to address your specific
01:57needs. A crucial step in getting bouncy, dewy, beaming out of this world, glowy skin is exfoliating.
02:08And that means just getting the dead skin cells off of the surface so that your glowy, bouncy,
02:15dewy skin can shine through and all of your other products work a little deeper. You know what?
02:21Let's cleanse and see the glow stick in action. I'm all cleansed and dried off. My lip balm
02:29is gone. So I'm going to start with the glow stick. And I used to start at my chin,
02:35give myself a nice big happy smile and just work upwards to cover the entire face. I love
02:46how mess free this is. The stick form is just genius. You can travel with it.
02:57Look, I don't have it all up in my hairline. It's not messy. You can even go down to your neck
03:07and deck, can get it in between my eyebrows, around my mouth. I mean, I just want to keep going
03:17and going because it's so easy. It's the most mess free mask ever. The mask takes about 10 minutes.
03:31So in reinforcing the idea that skincare is self-care, why don't we use this time while the
03:37mask is setting to do a little journaling, maybe reflect on your day, set your intentions for the
03:42next day, really get in the habit of saying this 10 minutes is for me that caring for my skin is
03:48caring for myself. Okay. So we have all of, as you can see, all the mask is off. Do you also notice
04:04how my hair is not disturbed? Not that that's the best part of this, but it's pretty good.
04:10But, um, I think it's just because the mask is so easy and mess free and comes in stick form. So
04:16you're able to mask your skin and not mess up your edges. I have to love that. My next up is going to
04:22be the Olay Tone Perfection Serum. I love the transformative properties of vitamin C.
04:31And if you're new to serum and haven't used one before, I'll just give you a little bit of background
04:36on a serum. What it is. Serum is, um, treatment for your skin. The molecular structure is tinier
04:44than a moisturizer. So it's able to penetrate more deeply and really address those challenging skincare
04:51issues that you may have. So again, this serum has vitamin C, which is phenomenal for treating dark
04:57spots, for addressing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone.
05:01Our final step to seal the deal is going to be Olay Regenerous Retinol 24. Yes, this is our third and
05:09final step in routine. Why? Because as I said earlier, an effective skincare routine does not
05:15need to be complicated. It just needs to be targeted. Let's see. Retinol 24 in action. So just get about
05:24that amount. I typically do a little four dots. I get my forehead, my cheeks and my chin, and then I
05:32begin to massage into the skin. You can see it just blends seamlessly. There's no cast, just absorbs
05:38really beautifully. Now I've been using retinol. I'll put this jar down so I can use both hands.
05:43Um, I've been using retinol for about 20 years. And what we do know about retinol is that it is proven
05:51to soften the appearance, appearance of fine lines and wrinkling in the skin. Now, if you're pregnant
05:58or nursing, you definitely want to consult your physician because typically retinol is not recommended
06:03for pregnant or nursing, um, women, but definitely consult your physician. What I really like about
06:12this retinol is that it is formulated in such a way that it's well-tolerated on the skin. Some retinols
06:19are very irritating on the skin. And this is not at all. It also just applies so seamlessly and so
06:27flawlessly. I can't help but keep gliding my fingertips along my skin. Um, it really just does
06:34just melt into skin. And you see that glide feels really luxurious on the skin. We've reached that
06:44portion of programming where I like to get a read on the room and make sure I've addressed all of the
06:49skincare concerns. So yeah, wait over here. Yes, we had dullness, lack of glow, wanting to boost the
06:56radiance. Yes. So for you, that is going to be the Olay glow boost mask stick. We also had uneven
07:03texture, dark spots, uneven tone for you. That is going to be the tone perfection serum. Lastly, we talked
07:12about smoothing lines, wrinkles, uh, helping to soften the texture. That's going to be Olay Regenerous
07:19Retinol 24. And as you can see from the demo, your skincare routine does not need to be complicated to
07:26work. It simply needs to be targeted. So by picking the right products that specifically laser target
07:33your skincare goals and concerns, you can achieve the skin that you need. And remember, skincare is a part
07:41of your self-care, make the time. So when you're masking, you're doing your 10 minutes journal,
07:46do something for yourself, spend time with yourself every day. And every night, I want you to take a
07:50little bit of time to yourself, focusing your skincare because it is self-care and it can be simple.
