2:31
identity have my staples by. I'm not
2:33
afraid to try something new so I
2:35
feel like a try to stick to
2:37
may the same ingredients that I know

3:27
bit of a rough patch with my skin

3:38
struggle with hormonal break out. My
3:40
skin tell me what is it The
3:43
best skincare tip that use one along
3:45
the way. To before I start
3:47
writing Your skincare cabinet. Dare Sauce. I
3:49
think that the best tip is
3:51
to go see a dermatologist because
3:53
I was trying so many different
3:55
products and then having like a
3:57
few doesn't flare ups. And the.
4:00
Mainly when I was using some more
4:02
harsh said hectic chemicals that I was
4:04
you know saying trending it Glycolic acid,
4:07
zen retinol, and stuff like that and
4:09
also but this is supposed to work
4:11
at a said I didn't forget. Exactly.
4:14
And then I went to a dermatologist. Know
4:17
what? You do Not need to use any
4:19
of this patently with. I overeat Foley aiding
4:21
as well and she was like yeah, if
4:23
you're on the dry side you darn a
4:25
to be I assume like for you. I
4:28
would do like maybe once or twice. Awake,
4:30
not every single day and all that ah
4:32
by be like going to speak to an
4:34
expert really helped me understand what I need
4:37
for my skin and then I can narrow
4:39
it down from there. Otherwise I really was
4:41
being on Friday so try that and trying
4:43
all the products and techniques and I think
4:45
that's the easy way to guy. that's the
4:48
best advice is just so much out there
4:50
and you do when it tried all he
4:52
looks so pretty and yeah I never like
4:54
this is great. Yeah when it comes down
4:56
to it you know everything may not write
4:58
a good idea. Yes. I know this
5:01
isn't either fit into the good stuff
5:03
that I want you to walk me
5:05
through. Your Am and pm been Carotene
5:07
including the brands and products. That you like
5:09
to use. City.
5:11
With his you so scary. See the
5:13
security. V.
5:16
M. In the morning. This may
5:18
be controversial, but I don't cleanse my face
5:20
with any products. I guess he thought I
5:23
I came a Oliver. I'm I'm when I
5:25
meet someone else who does this guy Skyn
5:27
there is? I just don't think I need
5:29
it because we'll get to the flight out.
5:32
But I did a double cleanse in the
5:34
evening and I just felt like when I
5:36
was using a product of my skin. It.
5:39
Would just look a little bit dull and
5:41
dry and a bit more irritate him and
5:43
then when i start to water i was
5:45
like nine think this is an off year
5:48
especially me think about again like it depends
5:50
on your skin type but when you're kind
5:52
of put on like a sleeping my a
5:54
much heavier thicker creams and they're doing the
5:56
work overnight in the morning she go to
5:58
like cleanse your face. Literally to fuck
6:00
up this cleansing of all of this nice
6:03
product and I didn't love and overnight mosque
6:05
and moan the maybe that's why I'm partial
6:07
to that but at the moment so I'll
6:09
wash my face of board on him and
6:11
and wallet sort of still little bit damp
6:14
I will do a the like to sort
6:16
of like us social spritz of some kind
6:18
of whatever I've got it and then I
6:20
was going with like a holler on a
6:22
guy said serums or at the moment i'm
6:25
using the ordinaries one and it's like the
6:27
newly formulate an uneasy now I'm very like
6:29
a really good yeah. So that's really
6:31
good and then I've pair.with the moisturizer
6:33
that they've got. that's the natural moisturizing
6:36
factors and that has hyaluronic acid in
6:38
a as well. So again I feel
6:40
like that is super hydrating but author
6:42
it just sucks into your skin like
6:44
really quickly which I love for a
6:47
morning moisturizer you don't want to mess
6:49
around. yeah if they too heavy as
6:51
well. I'm just like. I
6:53
feel like have to wait forever for it to
6:55
seeing him before I can do my my thoughts
6:57
and whatever quickest all day by us. The reason
7:00
that I like these other pretty simple the is
7:02
and because my skin is quite sensitive I just
7:04
feel like it's. Back. To basics yeah
7:06
no the last yeah we do yoga
7:08
and also with the reformulated see or
7:10
my think a lot of people were
7:12
scared that. The reef formulation would. Kind
7:15
of ruin your favorite films, but it
7:17
is a genuine lead, lovely see or
7:19
a manner. I feel like it's obviously
7:22
great for a lot of different skin
7:24
types. It's so. Hydrating are saying
7:26
meet your skin feel nice and
7:28
calm and yes suits and and
7:31
I swear this isn't an ad
7:33
for the ordinary by I also
7:35
see have been using their multi
7:37
peptide I sarah as well as
7:40
I have very puffy it. Bags.
7:42
Under my eyes in the morning I feel like my
7:45
skin is quite puffy in the morning and I feel
7:47
like it helps soothe that for may sometimes with an
7:49
ice cream I also feel like that's a little bit
7:51
coors. The. Yet supposed to be
7:54
really light while and it really lightweight which
7:56
i feel like help me day pass but
7:58
also sits on the back up. A
8:00
flat fee. Of
8:08
course you've gotta have an Spf
8:10
so either use. The. Ultraviolet months.
8:13
I can kind of like cycle through all
8:15
the different ones, whatever I get on sale,
8:17
but I feel like with an Spf you
8:19
can go the more affordable Murray as long
8:21
as it's Spf. Fifty, absolutely just make sure
8:24
it's when you pay. Yeah, exactly. So while
8:26
I do love Ultraviolet, personally, I feel like
8:28
it's It's really nicely on the skin and
8:30
sits nice. And I'm a cop. Nice to
8:33

9:38
Spf. Both are my says I'm wearing
9:40
make up as well. sorry I love
9:42
to use a bomb cleanser first to
9:44
really like Melts Away. The. Make
9:46
Up! My absolute favorite is the
9:48
Alpha Hate smelting moments like that.
9:51
That's why we're I think you
9:53
Seventy Dollars, Six Spencer, all of
9:55
the other products I mentioned him
9:57
I am retain all of the
9:59
ordinary. Sandra like between twenty five and
10:01
forty dollars sorry in I they sort of
10:03
like see on a bit of a scale
10:06
there and an ultraviolet light we said he
10:08
knows a little bit more expensive but deadly.
10:10
The alpha hate on is a splurge. The
10:12
are so many great cleansing balm that they're
10:14
on my a whole bunch of them. but
10:16
I do love that one too. I why
10:19
do you like oh oh my God. So
10:21
many reasons I feel like one. It actually
10:23
works like it really works to melt away.
10:26
The. Makeup and the Spf. I feel like a
10:28
lot of the time I'll come out a
10:30
shower and my boyfriends like yeah you're not
10:32
done and it's like a panda I fucking
10:34
knew Go! Yeah exactly and I just feel
10:36
like it gets the job done after one
10:38
cleanse which is amazing. I don't have to
10:40
like go in with the face washer and
10:42
like really see Rob. It's like nice and
10:44
gentle on the skin. It also feels amazing
10:46
and is beautiful and a little bit goes
10:49
a long way. So while it is seventy
10:51
dollars I do find that I don't have
10:53
to do the whole lot to wash my
10:55
face which is also. Really good and then
10:57
I love to go him like a gel
10:59
I'm not after that as well just the
11:01
as a balmy so reclaim the does leave
11:03
your skin feeling a little bit waxy after
11:06
all Mary's laser bit of residues I feel
11:08
like I need a the lack of a
11:10
farming or gel pens or something to sort
11:12
of like cutaway him that and really get
11:14
in then get all the dirt out. so
11:17
I do love that another moment I'm using
11:19
the Bond I sans everyday skincare gel cleansing
11:21
because that was on sale at chemist and
11:23
I've used it before and I actually really
11:25
like s. So the cleanser is a hundred
11:28
and fifty mill or like a pretty pretty
11:30
good size and up like. Fifteen.
11:32
Dollars An. I love that. I feel
11:34
like it works really well and with
11:36
a cleanse I have with a gel
11:38
cleanses specifically I feel like I go
11:40
through them really quickly, probably because my
11:43
boyfriend also this is that. For
11:45
as two people using i'm not for
11:47
way while and then after I get
11:49
out of the shower usually I do
11:51
like a novel spritz of something and
11:54
then I'll do like a vitamin. say
11:56
that I do like the polls choice
11:58
vitamins say again of. The a
12:00
more pricey products. My first time
12:02
that we've had someone not mention
12:05
Skyn City to see for a
12:07
lake it's a Vitamin C. I
12:09
feel like Cassie effigies is like
12:11
loading I. I know it's so
12:13
obviously so popular but so spend
12:16
the the polish choice. Vitamin C
12:18
I think it's called Boost? Yes,
12:20
Yup, I've seen that before. Right
12:23
product and such a great alternative if you
12:25
don't want to cough up two hundred and
12:27
thirty three dollars for a by. The
12:30
arm and I feel like it does
12:32
the job I really like as love
12:34
like pretty much all of Policy Choices
12:36
products and that's a really similar formulation.
12:38
It's got Vitamin C and I feel
12:40
it's ex cop for really never as
12:43
well as yes I do love using
12:45
not and man oh golly and with
12:47
and I frame at the moment I
12:49
am so using that the ordinary one.
12:51
Yet there are multiple Taiwan my in
12:53
the evenings and then I'll do that
12:56
same moisturizer that I use in the
12:58
mornings and then often. People sick, his.
13:01
Favorite Pimples. Sick as we were just
13:03
talking about them in the office. someone's
13:05
got a pimple. Yeah, that's kind of
13:07
erupting. Ah, but it's just not there
13:09
yet. And got a wedding on Saturday
13:11
and then another was the We Outlaw
13:14
one. The best. This I feel like
13:16
there's quite a few out there that
13:18
do the job. What's your go to?
13:20
I love that he behaves skincare one
13:22
mates who. They really good. So good.
13:24
All says it's a is good because
13:26
they have a few different types. I
13:28
feel like. It depends on the type of
13:30
pimple that you have, so that's really good. And
13:32
then I also got another packet from. Mighty.
13:35
Pats. Oh yeah and they would.
13:37
Ten dollars yeah I hadn't like
13:39
heard of a org use them
13:41
before a thy. Because. I
13:43
usually do use a those it
13:46
seek out or that he hates
13:48
ones and it was. I.
13:50
Think our our pays thirteen dollars but I got
13:52
up to ten does. It was on sale for
13:54
twenty four. And. that's the packaging
13:56
ah i've actually tried these before
13:59
yeah and I had my period last
14:01
week, so obviously my skin was like, gah!
14:03
Being a petulant teenager. And I
14:05
had so many just like angry pimples
14:07
and they worked really well. That's really
14:10
good. Like overnight really helped suit them.
14:12
There's seriously nothing more satisfying than peeling
14:14
it off the next morning and being
14:16
like, you are out of my face.
14:18
Yeah, being like, get out.
14:21
Yeah, it's so gross and so
14:23
satisfying. I love that. And
14:30
you've been one of the greatest discoveries of
14:32
all time. Oh,
14:34
miss. Never again. Never. Never.
14:36
I want to know some of your hits and misses. What
14:42
kind of skincare, technique or ingredient can't
14:44
you live without? Yep. And
14:46
I want to know the one that you don't bother
14:48
with. OK, so the technique that I can't live without
14:50
that I love is
14:53
ice rolling. A deep heart. In
14:56
the morning, whether it's with like ice clothes
14:59
or an ice roller or spoons that
15:01
you put in the freezer or
15:03
the little like eye mask that you also
15:05
put in the fridge. I love those. And
15:08
I feel like it is heaven sent because as much as
15:11
I love like an eye serum or an
15:13
eye cream, I feel like there's only so
15:15
much I can do with a product to
15:18
get the puffiness down really quickly. Do
15:21
you have anything you want to say? Yeah. I
15:24
want to say one really quickly. Do you have
15:26
any kind of favorites? I know one product that
15:28
I really, really have wanted for ages is
15:31
the Skinny Confidential Roll-Up. Oh my God, me too.
15:33
Do you have it? No. So
15:36
that's like a face roller that you, I
15:38
guess you put in the fridge. Yeah. Not
15:40
freezer, but you put it in the fridge and it depuffs your
15:42
face in the morning. I always see it everywhere and
15:45
I really want it. Once I've got that, I feel like
15:47
I'll know I've made it and I'm
15:49
an adult and I've got my shit
15:51
together. I've been using the Benefit One.
15:54
So they have like the two glows. The two
15:56
glows. And they have like blue liquid in them.
15:58
Yeah, they've got blue liquid inside. It is
16:00
tough those in the fridge and us.
16:02
it's just heavenly. I said you follow
16:04
any kind of i alluded to your
16:07
and the yeah I thought as assume
16:09
iran thing but I literally will just
16:11
sort of role bomb underneath. My.
16:13
Eyes and then sometimes I use of all
16:15
over my face almost like a gloss I
16:17
in the getting just to help like least
16:19
and a pop and also it's the best
16:21
way to white cops her because I miss
16:23
news a little girl in the morning I
16:26
get really posse as well. I remember before
16:28
I got married. Last. Year The
16:30
makeup artist actually got all my bridesmaids to
16:32
sue the ice. It's like they've put their
16:34
faith in the I. What else I feel
16:36
like if you don't have any the tools
16:38
to. Get a bucket of ice water and sticky rice.
16:40
And that's the thing. Like you don't
16:42
need to go out by the author
16:45
alla or the glides or anything. if
16:47
you just grab some ice cubes or
16:49
the submarines you can do it in
16:51
a budget friendly way. and I see
16:53
like it's such a good idea is
16:56
that to tell me what is it
16:58
that skincare technique or ingredient that you
17:00
decide not a fan kind of I
17:02
mentioned earlier but I just feel like
17:04
I experimented with some ingredients that would
17:07
trending that to start work for my
17:09
skin sorry for example. Retinol I
17:11
find just doesn't work well with my
17:13
skin and also glycolic acid as well.
17:15
So I did enjoy using their i
17:18
think it's the Alpha Hates liquid gold
17:20
bought it took me a few months
17:22
for me to really say the benefits.
17:24
That is too long for me personally
17:26
it like to go through. I just
17:29
had really hectic Skyn pads and I
17:31
know that's a natural part of the
17:33
process but I think it's supposed to
17:35
last six lakes and mine was laughing
17:38
so like three months of that. This
17:40
is. Too much. It's so hard when you
17:42
say that ever on his raving about like
17:44
literally every one and that's a product that
17:46
ever on raved about their liquid. Golden. Still
17:49
a lot of people love it. Takes. It was
17:51
good in the end bag and I
17:53
was just like I. Time.
17:55
With this like say as yet was too
17:57
much of a time investment for me as
17:59
a. And the same with threat know?
18:01
yeah I just feel like it's too harsh on
18:03
my skin. And when I was talking to the
18:05
don't tell is a satellite you don't if you
18:07
don't want to you that you don't need to
18:10
are using now sort of like. Straight.
18:12
Back to basics and for you for what
18:14
you want out of your skin and which
18:16
is to. For. It to look
18:18
and feel more hydrated. To like that
18:20
fully. name more. That's the best advice
18:22
as you've got beautiful skin, nothing to
18:24
help me. Do you have any kind
18:27
of regular treatments or anything that you
18:29
do? You know why I actually love
18:31
which again is a more of a
18:33
boozy purchase by is an L a
18:35
day mosques yes I have been at
18:38
home one yet for where I got
18:40
the current body. one other one is
18:42
yeah Definitely and expensive purchase by I
18:44
think if you do want to do
18:46
that the cost. Of like it outright
18:48
buying and at High Moss thus is
18:50
going into a sparring getting it done
18:52
if you're obviously gonna save money in
18:54
the long run using your arm off.
18:57
so that file is like I'm happy
18:59
to have a as yeah had this
19:01
pledge of a of a purchase and
19:03
because I really struggle to like fit
19:05
say souls into my routine which are
19:07
now I know some people who get
19:09
them done my every month and a
19:11
my my god I wish it either.
19:13
it's hot air Jordan as expensive to
19:15
the air and unless you're consistent you.
19:17
Never really going to see. The really good
19:19
results if you doing at once every maybe four
19:21
months. Even though it it always does feel great
19:23
before an event or if you. Have something
19:25
on, but if you're looking for the longer
19:28
term results yet any to be consistent about
19:30
a solar order, yeah, Build it into a
19:32
routine which I struggled with at first and
19:35
I'd habit stock as raid a chapter of
19:37
my book and do that and then market
19:39
off most. I love this year and the
19:41
com forty one so go because it kind.
19:44
Of modes. Yeah, so you can walk around
19:46
or do stuff. Yeah, it's not like one
19:48
of those ones. that's the hard plastic. Can
19:50
you can lie down and readable? Go? Yet
19:52
You walk around and it's got like a
19:54
dozen plug into the wall. It's got like
19:56
a portable charger. With that said, yeah, I
19:58
love it. So you mentioned. Habit stalking, Tell
20:00
me what is that? Basically just like
20:03
getting habits they he struggled to put
20:05
into your retain any like attach it
20:07
to an anchor as something sorry for
20:09
example if he struggled to remember to
20:11
like Korean that every week. If you
20:13
