00:00Hey guys, it's me Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02Welcome to Casa de Mimi.
00:04I don't talk about skincare a lot on Beauty With Me, but I take it very, very seriously.
00:10So this episode is special and it's a little bit different because I'm going to challenge
00:14myself to do an entire DIY skincare routine for a week.
00:18This is a little bit nerve-wracking because I've never done anything like this before.
00:23Every single thing I'm going to put on my face is going to be made with these two hands.
00:27To make sure I'm doing it right, I'm going to go see my friend Anit Hora, the founder
00:30of Brooklyn Apothecary brand Mullen & Sparrow, and she's going to teach me how to make a
00:34few of the skincare items I'm going to be using this week as well as how to hack the DIY
00:39skincare
00:40at home world.
00:41Let's go.
00:43Hi.
00:43Hi.
00:44How are we?
00:44It's so nice to see you again.
00:46Yeah.
00:47It's so good to see you.
00:48So I'm actually going to have you make everything for yourself because I just want everyone to
00:53see how easy it is.
00:54Okay.
00:54Anyone can do it.
00:55So here are the ingredients for the cleanser.
00:58Amazing.
00:59I have lavender powder.
01:00I didn't know that existed.
01:02Then I have orange peel powder, and then I have some sugar.
01:06So it's very simple.
01:07First of all.
01:09Smell it.
01:10Whoa.
01:11That is plunging.
01:12Wow.
01:12That is straight up lavender.
01:14So you're just going to be scooping some lavender powder out and putting it into the mixing
01:18cup.
01:19Is it going to be equal parts?
01:21I like to use more of the lavender and the sugar and a little bit of orange peel because
01:26you don't need so much.
01:27So now the second part is we're going to take the sugar.
01:30You don't have to have exact measurements for this.
01:33This is what you think you need.
01:34Obviously the sugar should be more because it's the scrubby part.
01:37Then the last step is the orange peel.
01:42There's my cleanser.
01:43There's your cleanser.
01:44Cleanser done.
01:45Boom.
01:46All right.
01:46So now we're going to be making the toner, or I should say you're going to be making
01:49the toner.
01:50So I have some rose water that I've pulled out.
01:53What we're going to mix that with is something called witch hazel extract.
01:57Perfect combination skin recipe because rose is amazing.
02:01It's super hydrating.
02:03Yeah.
02:03It's very soothing.
02:05And then witch hazel is amazing for acne prone skin.
02:07So let's get started.
02:08You're going to take the rose hydra salt.
02:10Ideally, I'd like to put one ounce, so it's a one to four ratio of the witch hazel.
02:15It's just so easy.
02:16I have a little bit of organic lavender, which is good for all skin types.
02:21And if you want to put like, I'm going to say like three drops in there.
02:25Okay.
02:25Three drops.
02:26Just three drops.
02:26That's all you need.
02:28Perfect.
02:29So that's done.
02:31That is your toner.
02:34So now let's get started on the last thing, which is our mask.
02:38The lightest clay is kaolin clay, white clay.
02:41I like to use this as a base because it's really gentle.
02:44It makes your skin really soft and it's good for all skin types.
02:47I say you can fill half of your jar with that.
02:51Oh, wow.
02:52This is called sea clay.
02:54It has so many minerals.
02:55It's so good for your skin.
02:57For that, I want you to put about half the amount you put of this.
03:00Okay.
03:00The last clay, which is called rasool clay.
03:02This one's great for oily combo skin.
03:04That one we're going to put about the same that you did with the sea clay.
03:08Okay.
03:08So I have some lavender.
03:10Candy.
03:11If you wanted to mix them in there, again, I wouldn't do more than two or three drops.
03:15Mm-hmm.
03:15Smells really good.
03:16I'm excited to try this and my toner and my cleanser.
03:19Incorporating a few DIY things is pretty easy, but let's be real.
03:23Doing a whole routine can be a lot.
03:26We're New Yorkers, so yeah.
03:28Yeah.
03:28It's a lot of time.
03:29But it's amazing that we can also buy your product so we know exactly where it's coming
03:33from.
03:33We know what's in it.
03:34We know the quality is there and it'll save you a little bit of time.
03:37Thanks again.
03:38You're the best.
03:40I'm back and I have my goodies here, but it's not enough.
03:44A cleanser, a toner, and a mask does not a skincare routine make.
03:48I'm going to be making a few more things here today.
03:50A lip balm, a lip scrub, a few masks that I will be using for the rest of the week.
03:56Let's do it.
03:57First up is the lip scrub.
03:59All you need is some sugar and some honey.
04:01I'm going to go ahead and scoop the honey and put it into this mason jar.
04:05You can use as little or as much honey as you want depending on how abrasive you want
04:11the scrub to be.
04:12I'm going to add some sugar into this bowl.
04:15And you can go little by little here.
04:17And then I would mix it together with the honey.
04:21All right, item number one is done.
04:24Next up, we have a hydrating mask.
04:26All you need is some cocoa powder, plain unsweetened yogurt, and once again, hero product, honey.
04:36I'm going to start with the cocoa powder.
04:40Little spoonfuls.
04:41Again, this is another recipe that you can really use as much or as little of each ingredient
04:45as you like.
04:46Honey is really hydrating and soothing.
04:49Greek yogurt is amazing because it's full of lactic acid.
04:52So this is going to give your skin a little bit of exfoliation.
04:58Mask number two, done.
05:00On to mask number three.
05:02All you need are honey.
05:04You guessed it.
05:05Lemon juice.
05:06And two spices, cinnamon and turmeric.
05:09Honey is going to be the base of my mask.
05:11So you're going to want to use a lot of it.
05:14Lemon is great because the acids in the fruit are going to help exfoliate your skin and brighten.
05:20It's easy to go overboard with it.
05:21So I'm just going to do one spoonful of it.
05:24Final ingredients are the spices.
05:26I'm just going to use a dash of each.
05:32We have one more in store and it is the lip balm.
05:35All you need is some cocoa butter, some beeswax, and a few drops of peppermint oil.
05:43It smells so good.
05:44I can already feel the cocoa butter like melting on my hands.
05:50You just want to make sure that you're using equal parts beeswax cocoa butter.
05:54Stick this in the microwave for a few seconds just until it's completely liquidy.
05:59I'm going to come back here and work the magic.
06:02So I'm back.
06:03I have my liquified mixture.
06:05While it's still liquidy and hot, I'm going to take a bit of peppermint oil and drop two to three
06:12drops in.
06:14You're going to want to let this cool down.
06:17And there you have it.
06:18This is my entire skincare routine for the next week.
06:22It's been a very educational and fun day.
06:25I think I have nothing left to do but start the challenge.
06:29So I will check in with you guys throughout the week.
06:31Let you know how it's going.
06:33See you there.
06:34Hey guys.
06:35It is the first morning of my DIY skincare routine.
06:38I'm not using any of my normal skincare products.
06:42But since I'm making everything this week, I'm going to use the cleanser that I made with Inite.
06:47With water, it kind of looks like this.
06:50Kind of pasty.
06:51So I think the key to using this cleanser is definitely to be very gentle.
06:58I'm going to go in with the toner now.
07:01I'm actually just going to tap a little bit of this onto the palm of my hands and then put
07:09my palms together and gently press that into my face.
07:13And then last but not least, I have a little bit of this rosehip oil.
07:17And I will say that using an oil at night, no problem.
07:24But using an oil in the morning is actually something I've never done before.
07:29That is my skincare done.
07:31I'm just going to finish off with a little bit of my LB, AKA lip balm.
07:34It's a little bit on the harder side.
07:38See you later. Bye!
07:40It's 4.30 and I put this on at like 9am and it looks good.
07:49I'm honestly shocked.
07:52Now I'm going to try to use some of my rosehip oil as my makeup remover.
07:59Waterproof eyeliner and waterproof mascara on today, so.
08:07Alright!
08:08Not bad.
08:09Alright, back with the cleanser.
08:10So I'm going to put it into my hands like this.
08:12And then I'm going to scrub with it.
08:16Pat dry.
08:17Always pat, never rub.
08:19I'm going to hop in the shower and then I'm going to do the rest of my skincare routine.
08:23Hi guys!
08:24I'm going to do this fella.
08:28My hydrating mask just has the one that has the yogurt base and then the cocoa powder in there.
08:35Going in with a little bit of this lip scrub and rub away.
08:41Mask off feels really good.
08:44It kind of felt like I was putting like a really thick moisturizer on my face.
08:47I'm a fan of the DIY skincare routine so far.
08:50Do I think I'm going to do it all the time?
08:55No.
08:56I think I might pick and choose things from this routine that I like the most.
09:00But we'll see at the end of the challenge how I'm feeling.
09:02I'll report back.
09:03Hey guys!
09:04So I just got home, took off my makeup and I'm going to do a little mask.
09:09My clay mask.
09:11I'm going to get it on my hands here and rub it onto my face.
09:14Hmm?
09:15It's starting to dry really tight.
09:18Like look, you can see all the like...
09:20So that's the mask off.
09:21Feels nice.
09:23Does feel a little bit dry.
09:24Definitely want to put a little bit of moisturizer on.
09:26I'm back!
09:27And it is the final day of my DIY skincare challenge and I'm actually in a little bit of a
09:33different location.
09:34I'm in California.
09:36In honor of the last day, I'm going to use a little mask with my mama.
09:43We're going to do it together and we're going to close out the week with a bang.
09:47Hi!
09:48I'm here with my mom.
09:50And we're going to do this, the brightening mask.
09:55Are you ready?
09:56Yes, I'm ready.
09:57Now we wait.
09:59Alright, so it's been like 15 minutes.
10:02It's all sticky.
10:03Yeah.
10:04It's nice.
10:05And we're going to wash it off.
10:06Let's go.
10:07Okay.
10:07Oh, I like it.
10:08Feels like I don't even have to put moisturizer afterwards.
10:11Yeah, but you're so sure.
10:12Mask is off.
10:13I've got to say this entire week has been a really fun experience.
10:18I did this skincare challenge to challenge myself to see if I could make things that could actually work as
10:24a routine.
10:24And I got to say, I think it worked.
10:26Like I loved doing it, but I think that I did prove to myself that if I wanted to,
10:30I could make my entire skincare routine.
10:33And it ends up being really affordable.
