The Skincare Products I Legit Can’t Live Without
so i've had a lot of questions about my skincare i've done quite a few skincare routine videos so i wanted to just kind of like sit down and share with you all of the products that i use and just kind of go through because my routine changes uh like i have a few different routines that i sort of like go between each week to daily and it's a lot and it's very impossible for me to show you like all of those days in one video so i'm just to share with you like all of the products i literally had to throw them in a sweatshirt to carry them all here all right i'm going to start off with cleansers um so typically the cleanser that i use is the good molecules uh rose water daily cleansing gel this is what i use most often i use it in the morning i use it at night i use it to remove makeup i use it if i just like need to cleanse like for instance this morning this is what i used in the shower this is my like daily cleansing just my daily cleanser it's very gentle i like it someone did comment that it made their skin feel very dry i don't get that but uh just be warned i guess it's very affordable which is why i love good molecules um i don't know why i didn't show this to you first so pre removing my makeup or what pre this if i'm wearing makeup uh even if i'm not wearing makeup this is the instant cleansing balm by good molecules i also use this so uh it's just like a it's literally just a bomb um it kind of looks like coconut oil it's not coconut oil it doesn't have any of that but uh it's just a it's just a bomb and i use this to kind of like just break everything down i like this as my like double cleansing combo i guess this is really great for removing makeup even waterproof makeup i like to use it especially if i have been wearing sunscreen it really helps to just like break down all the oils uh but i also really like using this as just like my cleanser in general like even if i'm not wearing makeup sometimes i won't use this and i'll just use this because it's very very hydrating so i love this combo so that's typically what i would use like pretty much morning every morning and night then sometimes i sprinkle in the pineapple exfoliating powder once again by good molecules uh it's just like a it's a powder it's got fruit enzymes fruit enzyme and oh my god what fruit enzymes vitamin c rice powder to soften brighten and gently exfoliate so i don't typically use physical exfoliate exfoliants but this was one is very gentle and i really like the way it feels so i do use this occasionally um and then i actually recently used the ola henriksen lemonade soothing scrub which is new it's got ahas lemon peel extract blah blah blah whatever so this is like kind of a similar thing it's like it's a physical exfoliant but it does have ahas it's got like little tiny beads in it i really like the way tfeel they're not like too abrasive you have to be gentle though it's definitely a little bit more abrasive than this one and then you basically like you know put massage it on and then leave it on for a couple minutes or something and it says to use it two to three times per week first time i used it i really liked it it made my skin feel super soft loved that and then three to four days later i tried it again and it kind of irritated this area of my face i don't know if you guys can see that but like right here i got these little like irritated patches so i think maybe it's a little too much for me to be using more than once a week so i'm still kind of on the fence about this but i wanted to include it just to let you know what my experience was my daily moisturizer has been the tatcha water cream for a while now this is just like a very lightweight but hydrating sort of gel moisturizer it's like looks like a little jelly kind of i did see a comment once someone said that it just kind of like sat on top of their skin and didn't absorb one of the things i would say is and this is going to sound really weird the water cream when you first apply it it feels like it leaves kind of like a weird um residue like it doesn't really absorb in a specific area it feels like it um just kind of sits on top of the skin for a second but the more you work it in it does absorb really nicely and it's my favorite moisturizer i mean i wear this underneath my makeup all the time i'm wearing it today uh people always ask me like how do you prep your skin for my other channel alex talks because my skin always looks really glowy and i'm like i'm literally just wearing this so and that's it it's literally just this moisturizer uh it's my favorite it just it goes well underneath my makeup it's just that i have nothing bad to say about it it's super gentle it doesn't really have has a very very light scent it does come with this little spatula guy to scoop it out uh my advice to you if you feel like it's not absorbing if you have tried it and you're like why is this not working for me i always wet my face with warm water if i'm going to be applying a moisturizer i never just apply moisturizer onto dry skin because it just like softens your face and it makes it a lot easier for it to absorb the product because that's one thing also with the touch of water cream this is very weird but like if you just pick it up in your hands and then start like going into your skin it's going to feel like it's very uneven unless you spend a lot of time working it in because it does take like a minute pick up little bits and dot it in the major sections of your face and then go in it applies much more evenly that way so that would be my little my little piece of advice if you didn't like it or if you felt like you had that experience but i love this if i'm not going to be wearing makeup or if i just feel like i need a little bit more of something my my daily routine is either like those cleansers and then that touch of water cream or i will go in with one of the good molecules um serums this is the hyaluronic acid serum and this is the niacinamide serum so i don't know just kind of like i use them interchangeably it's just kind of like what i'm feeling so i'll go in with like a little bit of this first and then i got so much [ __ ] in my good molecules video because i didn't show myself applying a moisturizer i always apply a moisturizer i realize i didn't it was a collaboration with them so uh and i don't typically use their priming moisturizer for this routine uh i use actually use the ola henriksen sheer transform perfecting moisturizer as my moisturizer for this little routine which is again similar to the touch of water cream it's i mean it's not a little it's not a gel but it's very lightweight perfect daily moisturizer like these are the two that i would definitely recommend to you super lightweight absorbs easily but makes your skin feel hydrated i would say that maybe the tatcha water cream is ever so slightly more hydrating than this this is just a really good neutral moisturizer like if you have oily skin and yo
