I am such a treat to wake up to, you have no idea.

(mellow pop music)

I have combination skin, really dry around the cheek area

and very oily here on my T-zone, which I think

happens to a lot of people, and I used to suffer

from cosmetic confusion.

I was using 13 products a day, twice a day.

Sometimes I'd add a couple,

just in case I missed out on something.

And I've really pared down my routine

to just three key products.

So between my cleansers and my skincare,

it's probably about five or six products I use every day

but I am heavy on high tech tools.

Everyone's told me I should be using a cleansing oil,

which really helps melt off your makeup, as your first step.

So rather than doing a two-step cleansing,

I combine my oil and my gel cleanser.

So one drop of oil and a drop of this gel cleanser.

The gel cleanser has a little bit of exfoliating

and it's very gentle.

There's a lot of debate about whether you should dampen

your face before you start taking off your makeup.

So I try to use as little water as possible.

So I massage my cleanser and then rather than using

too much water to rinse off my face, I use a muslin cloth.

This is the thinnest muslin cloth that I've ever found

and I put on some spa cleansing water,

which is like a Micellar water, from Koh Gen Do.

So you wipe it off and be really gentle with your face,

I can't stress that enough.

You only have one face, okay?

I'm very methodical, as you'll see.

Trust me, it pays to be methodical 'cause it's your face.

But do you see how you've avoided using water

but really cleaned your face?

And when I do wear eye makeup, which I have on today,

I will use the Almay makeup wipes,

but they're really small.

But it really takes off everything.

I use the gentle version, oil free,

because I have lash extensions.

You have to be really careful.

Spent a lot of money on those lash extensions,

you don't wanna rip them off.

I have several different routines,

depending on my skin's needs.

If I'm traveling and there's a lot of pollution,

like New York City or one of the bigger cities,

then I use my Ultra Sonic Deep Pore Cleanser.

This is like a Samurai blade.

Always dampen your skin before you use

your Ultra Sonic blade

because you really wanna get in there.

So this is when I like my Evian mister.

I buy one of these small ones, it's like an ounce

and it lasts me months.

Just a light spritz.

The reason you want damp skin is it provides a small barrier

between the Ultra Sonic Ion Cleanser and your skin.

I've been using this for about a year, I got it in Japan

and it's so satisfying when you go around your nose

and it cleanses everything, you see blackheads of course.

You do turn red so I recommend doing this at night.

I wanna just scrape up.

And I do about three swipes per area,

so I divide my face into a quadrangle.

Three swipes on the bottom, three swipes on the top

and really get that chin.

You know, the reason we have congestion around the skin --

what I've been told, I'm not a doctor or anything,

although I call myself Doctor Mommy --

is because we're constantly touching our faces,

so I'm a handphobe.

I do not touch my face.

So when you touch your face constantly or if you have

food allergies or any kind of hormonal stuff,

that's when it gets really congested.

So I just discovered a new tool,

which I'm really excited about.

This is the Hollywood EGF from Georgia Louise,

who is the celebrity facialist.

(tool buzzing)

So I love this tool because the micro needling part

is disposable, so you don't have to worry about bacteria

getting into your skin and there's a galvanic current

that really helps induce collagen.

It's all about that.

And since I'm traveling, I'm a little tired,

I'm gonna use this and just gently,

really gently go over your skin.

And it doesn't hurt, I promise.

The reason Georgia Louise came out with this

was because a lot of us are using,

we're just over treating our skin,

and there are some tools out there

are actually too strong for our skin types.

So this has a cover that protects it

and it limits how deep it can go.

I've been doing micro needling at my doctor's office

for about 12 years.

It's really changed my skin because any kind of trauma

you do to your skin, it kinda activates your collagen growth

and so far, I'm loving it.

You only need to use it once a week.

After I clean my face, this is when I do my rolling.

This is what I do every single night.

My favorite roller, Refa, and I love this one

because it has so many functions.

Like you have your eye roller, which is what we've seen,

but it also has a jawline sculpting function.

So I just do about three rolls.

I think the rule of thumb is just three,

if you don't know how many times you should roll.

And then of course you have the eye roller.

And then for your forehead.

Upwards and outwards, anything you do,

even when you wash your face.

And this is something my grandmother taught me, gua sha.

That's why this Refa has all these functions.

This is lymphatic drainage.

Especially all of us with our tech neck,

we're constantly looking down.

And finally, the pointed edge is where you do

accupressure points.

Just follow the lines of your face.

The bone structure, go up.

If you wanna define your cheekbones.

I used to use 13 products a day, twice a day.

Now I've pared it down to just three products.

And so I developed U Beauty Resurfacing Compound

with one of the top medical grade labs in Italy.

I thought to myself, we put a man on the moon,

why can't we create one really great product,

not to replace all the products in the world,

but how about just six of them?

So the Resurfacing Compound is your toner,

your glycolic and multi hydroxy acids,

your vitamins A, C and E and your hyaluronic acid.

So use about a pump and a half.

So it also refines your pores and it tones,

lightly hydrates, brightens because of the high levels

of vitamin C and tightens, and it feels like a taut shield.

Everyone who's used it, beauty editors, have told me

when they put it on, they feel like immediate tightening

and that's what this does.

And I, for all the actions to take place,

you really should let it dry.

30 seconds is minimum, I like to give it a full two minutes.

So my Resurfacing Compound is completely dry,

it's time to moisturize.

My favorite moisturizer is Augustinus Bader's Rich Cream.

It feels so good on the skin,

it's like my skin just drinks it up.

And the Resurfacing Compound actually creates channels

so that any cream you put on after

is absorbed deeper into the skin.

But to be honest, I don't love cleaning my face

because you're taking makeup off

and when you're putting it on,

it's exciting, you're going out.

As a kid, I always hated going to bed.

And here's another tip for you, so you don't waste product,

use the back of your hands.

I'm Chinese and in our culture,

good skin is the highest praise.

And from the time I was five years old,

I remember my grandmother just piling my plate

full of chicken feet and and then she would tell me

to eat chicken butt.

She's like, "This will give you the best skin."

And then I was force fed bone broth every single day

and we had pork bone broth, beef bone broth,

chicken bone broth, ham bone broth, mushroom bone broth.

Literally we were the Bubba Gump of bone broth.

But now that it's trendy, I'm like, wait I know

how to make all the broths.

That's what I was raised eating

because we believed in beauty from the inside out.

And now I know the reason she was force feeding me

chicken butt, I think it was because I was the youngest

and Chinese people don't like to waste

and so they gave it to the little kids,

telling them that they'll have good skin.

But chicken feet was because of the collagen.

That's an actual thing, so I love chicken feet.

I was trying to find some to eat tonight,

but it's hard to find

chicken feet delivery in New York City.

Shocking, I know.

So my final cream in my three product routine

is Cle De Peau's Eye Cream Supreme.

One of the reasons I love it is for this free roller.

Remember, I'm Chinese, I love anything free.

And you have to be really delicate around the eyes.

I know I said this earlier and I wanna say it again,

there's no sebaceous glands.

The eye area is the most delicate, so be very gentle.

Now that I'm in skincare, I found out so many reasons

why we have puffiness and dark circles.

So as we age, our vascular function is not as good

as it was when we were five years old.

So as the vasculars weaken, then fluids drain into your face

and then it kind of collects under the eye.

So you wanna roll it gently and then I tap.

You wanna tap, never rub.

You can tap or you can gently do it in circular motions

and pretend you're a facialist.

And if you have any leftover excess, again don't waste.

Put on your lips.

Eyes and lips, just.

So now that I've applied my three products

and I wanna make sure it really works for me

and it's absorbed deep into the skin,

so I love using Skin Inc Tri-Light.

Red is for wrinkles, blue is for acne,

yellow is for skin brightening and pigmentation,

so I do orange.

Or you can do purple if you're more oily.

So there's five settings.

And I just gently, gently roll it across your face

to help -- close your eyes when around this area,

you don't wanna blind yourself.

I read LED light is really safe,

but always err on the cautious side, people.

So I go around the pigmentation and I let it sit there

'cause this is supposed to help lighten.

I feel like it's done pretty well,

but mainly it just feels good.

It'll heat up, and I do think it helps

my products absorb deeply.

I don't know about all the other claims,

but it feels good.

I've watched my grandmother roll my entire life.

I used to be called into her room 'cause I was one

of the younger kids, and you'd have to roll her legs

'cause she was tired and she would like --

there was a wood roller for the back of her calves,

there was a giant roller for her back,

there was a jade roller for her neck,

there was a gua sha stone.

I remember my older cousins would be offering

to give me candy if I would go roll my grandmother
