All the Skincare I Use in One Week | Weekly Skincare Routine
we're gonna do a week of skincare because I feel like it's good to see like every step that happens because it's very situational not every Monday is exactly the same it's Tuesday I don't know why I started with that but whatever it's Wednesday so I just think this like grungy and stay look the sad truth is a lot of the time especially on filming days I do my makeup I immediately remove it because I got other [ __ ] to do you know what I'm saying uh I wasn't wearing sunscreen so I want to wash my face that I can apply sunscreen so I can take myself on a walk outside like a real human being my name is Alex by the way if you're new to this channel uh do me a favor and do all the things liking and subscribing and commenting and whatever um so I'm gonna start off by removing my jewelry okay so when I wash my face after doing my makeup I want to be super gentle because technically this is the third time I'm cleansing my face not an ideal situation I'm going to be putting on these little guys so that it doesn't drip all over the place these I think who sent these to me first aid Beauty they're all like bleached and stuff now I'm gonna go in with a cleansing balm which I think is the best because I'm wearing waterproof mascara um this is the one from LMS elements it's fine it's fine fine um I actually don't love it it kind of like has this weird I don't even want to say how do I how do I say mentholy kind of feel on your eyes which I don't like but I'm gonna it's a cleansing Mom it's fine it works um it's definitely not the best one that I've ever used but it does feel nice when you first like touch it so there's that so I'm gonna place this on dry skin and really really I use too much probably I'm really really break down my waterproof mascara I work this into my whole face I did use a lip stain today so this probably isn't going to come off so I make sure to coat my whole face and then I'm gonna go in and do really light gentle circular and then back and forth motions over my lashes to break down that waterproof mascara so that I'm not doing any damage I don't want to be rubbing my eyes too hard because it can hurt the mentholy feeling of this cleansing mom doesn't like Sting in my eyes but it is like a little jarring so if you have very sensitive eyes I definitely would not recommend it going in with my makeup eraser to get the edges before I go in with um like a real cleanser but I'm going to be using a really gentle cleanser from event so for my cleanser I'm going to be using this this one I'm not going to say it because it's French and I can't pronounce French so I really don't use this that often it's actually a leave-on cleanser it's something that you're supposed to apply with like a cotton pad and just like leave on I don't do that I use this as a very very very gentle cleanser when I know that I'm going to be washing my face multiple times or two or more times than usual you typically on like filming days because it's just incredibly gentle so I rinse it off like the center of my face and then once again going in with a different side of my makeup eraser okay I bought this new sunscreen I'm gonna give it a shot this is SPF 60. which I was excited about this is sole tujour uh it's water resistant up to 80 minutes SPF 60 anti-aging sunscreen I don't know whatever I saw it on sephora.com and I was like I'm a sucker for sunscreen so I'm gonna give it a try I swatched this last night and it looks really oily so I'm just going straight in with this to see if this will work as like a some green replacement moisturizer type of deal that's an interesting scent definitely has a little bit of a white cast you can see it I'm like pretty fair so I don't know I kind of feel like these Brands like the mineral sunscreens it's just really really tough if you are like even the light medium you know [ __ ] dude it feels really oily I don't know we'll give it 15 minutes and see how it does I guess okay yeah it's pretty oily which is very annoying it kind of feels like it's just gonna sit on top of my skin the reason I'm doing this the reason that I am just going in with sunscreen is because it's already like 3 P.M or something I want to go for a walk and just kind of like be outside I didn't need to do my whole like skincare routine that's why I wanted to use something that was gonna be more hydrating very hydrating um but I wanted sun protection obviously for the rest of the day and now that I'm not going to just be sitting in my studio with studio lights uh and I'm basically going to be repeating the removal process that I just showed you so cleansing bomb and then that very gentle cleanser because tonight is a retinol night or a Retin-A night a tretinoin night so I'll show you that application When the Sun Goes Down quick update on that sunscreen um definitely still oily I can feel it when I touch my face there's oil all over it you probably can't see that I'll maybe you can it's all oily I don't like it definitely left quite a bit of a white cast too surprised that my lip stand came off a bit anyway um yeah quite a white cast but it's fine you win some you lose some um I'm about to do I'm gonna take a shower I'm gonna do the exact same thing so cleansing balm and then that gentle cleanser out of the shower um I try not to wash my hair more than like once or twice a week so I wear a shower cap it sounds ridiculous my face feels really dry right now um so on Wednesday it's tretinoin night uh I'm gonna be using tretinoin 0.025 however my original prescription was for 0.06 um I have two of these I have these both I was kind of like trying to see which one would work best for me uh I used tretinoin three times a week so I've been toggling between these I've been using these uh this one Monday and Friday and this one on Wednesday so that's what we're gonna do but I like to take care of my eyes and my lips first so I have this Medicaid liquid peptides serum so I put like a really tiny amount of that like barely a pea size um and I put that around my eyes to begin and on my lips once that starts to absorb I put a really tiny amount to the skin fix Barrier cream also around my eyes and on my lips pretty small amount just like that much for a little hydration and I take this up to my eyebrows and I finished those with a little bit of Aquaphor healing alignment I like to go in with an ointment like this very small amount same thing to protect that area so kind of like lock in all that moisture and protect that area from the tretinoin is tretino one does travel and no matter what I do even if I don't put it anywhere near my eyes it irritates my eyes so this is to hydrate and protect and I do this all around like the perimeter so again like up to my eyebrows and I make sure that I'm taking it like in here around my nose so if anything goes on my nose it's not gonna like mess with my eyes you may remember that when I was filming videos in the past I would have like very dry eyelids and und
