(beep)

- Peace and blessings, family.

Andra Day here, I am gonna show you

what I do to get ready for bed.

(calm music)

Before I start this, I just wanna say,

to be quite honest with you, I actually really don't sleep.

I don't sleep much at all, so this isn't really

a like get ready to go to bed with me thing,

this is more like if you don't sleep,

here's how to look like you did, honey.

So the first thing we're gonna do

is wash our face, cleanse, I mean,

I'm not really doing a makeup removing thing here,

but I'll make up for it by doing a mask.

So I'm just gonna cleanse my skin.

I love this cleanser, this is called Organiclear.

This is actually my friend's line.

I didn't think I would like it, and I thought

once I tried it, I would just have to like avoid him

and be like, "Damn, I really don't like this,

"and it's gonna kill me to tell him."

But this cleanser is actually so, so, so, so good,

and I've put a lot of people onto it.

So we're gonna start by washing our visage, honey.

I just wet my hands first, and then lather it up.

You're supposed to be like gentle with your face

and around your eyes and all that stuff and whatever,

but like I'm just,

just do as I say, not as I do.

Bam, okay?

This cleanser's so great 'cause like I said,

it's organic, it's vegan.

All the ingredients in it are clean and non-toxic, so.

So the next step we're gonna do, and so I'm doing this

for you, I don't do this all the time,

this mask in particular, and it's just by The Body Shop.

It's called Himalayan Charcoal.

This thing is ridiculous, you exfoliate

as you put it on, so you scrub, you're like heating

up the face, it dries down, the clay sucks out

all of the toxins and it has a cooling effect as well too

that kinda like refines and tightens everything,

but here we go, you'll see.

Okay, this mask is actually messy as hell, honestly,

but it takes all the nasties away.

I'm using my hands because again,

you're trying to exfoliate as well.

So sometimes I just add a little extra in the areas

where I need a little extra pore cleansing and refining.

And I'm gonna leave that on til it dries down

and I can't wait, I'm gonna come back and show you guys,

I'm probably actually gonna keep this mask on

for like 30 minutes, but when I come back and it dries,

so you see how it starts to dry down like this,

but once it's completely dry, then you can actually

see it start to suck the oil out of your skin,

so I'll show you guys when I come back, love y'all.

Okay y'all, I'm back.

So the mask completely dried down

and as you can see around my nose,

like my T-zone area mainly, all of those little dots

are all the like oil and dirt that it's pulling

out of my skin, so I'm about to rinse this off

so you can see what my skin looks like

once I'm done with this mask.

(water runs)

Let's see what we're working with, let's see.

Boop, boop, boop.

And I'm gonna do one more cleansing step.

Plus I actually wanna introduce you guys,

in case you don't know about it already,

Donkey's Milk soap.

Mm-mm-mm, the fatty acids in Donkey's Milk

is so good for your skin.

Actually I got into it because I read

a story of Cleopatra, she used to bathe

in donkey's milk and I was like,

"Honey, that sounds luxurious, so I need to know what's up."

And I'm like an all-over lather type of person

so the whole like, just get your cheeks

and don't do your eyes, I don't know,

I just feel like this is faster, so.

Okay.

My towel has my mask all over it.

I have like my regular regimen, and then sometimes

it likes to be varied a little bit,

so this is like my full extensive regimen,

and one of the big parts for me is cleaning,

I have to cleanse and clarify my skin,

so I do even after doing those two different face washes

and that (laughs) that face mask,

detoxifying face mask, I still go in

with an astringent, and I just honestly,

some people might be like, "This is horrible,"

and if you know a better one, I don't know,

let me know but I've been using this for awhile,

and so I go in an upwards motion

and I just continue to purify.

I call this purifying, clarifying step.

I do my ears, too, and I do my neck.

And when you do your neck, well one thing

the dermatologist told me was not,

don't take this same pad and go back to your face.

So just do your neck.

Okay, next thing I'm gonna do is toner.

This is the La Mer, the Tonic, their toner.

I love their toner.

You know, a toner is, I know I hear toners refine your pores

and all that stuff all the time, and they do

and some do, but the real purpose of the toner

is actually to balance your skin's pH,

and I do think there is a little pore refining in it

if you can see, I think so.

So I do everything, honestly, when I do my skincare,

you guys, I do my face, my chin,

my ears, my neck, even the back of my neck

and my decolletage, am I saying that right?

(mumbles)

And even my breasteses, but I'm not gonna do that

on camera, obviously.

After that, even though I know I just did a toner,

so this product, this is called,

this line is called Solvaderm.

I just discovered this stuff like last year.

So this toner, I thought I was buying their toner

when I was buying this, and it wasn't until

I was using it for like two weeks

and I loved the effect on my skin.

I didn't see this until later, neck and chest,

I didn't know that's what it was for.

No, I did not stop using it on my face

because I loved what it was doing to my face.

So spread sistren around, I feel like I use

like just too much of everything, but it's okay, whatever.

You could be gentler on your skin,

but I'm just getting through this right now, okay?

Bam, you see what I'm saying?

There's something about this product,

I don't know what it is, I don't know what it is, y'all,

but it's something.

Okay, so next thing we're gonna move onto.

I use this, it's called The Mist.

It is the La Mer, I don't know, revitalizing spray,

it's soothing and it's revitalizing,

especially after I do that mask, you know,

the one that I'm doing kind of like an abrasion

and it's pulling toxins out of my skin,

so I just wanna kinda soothe and calm,

and then I also heard that your skin

receives moisture better when it's a little damp.

So this I kind of, this sort of sets me up

to put all of the moisture back into my skin

that I just kinda, you know, just kinda stripped out of it.

(bottle spritzes)

And then from there, I'll move on

to the La Mer Infused Lotion.

I'm obsessed with this product,

blend, blend, blend honey, blend, blend, blend

like your life depend on it.

So you're just putting your fingertips like that.

And it's kinda like an essence, maybe, I guess,

it's like, I feel like the closest thing I can

sort of compare it to.

And then the next thing we're gonna do is serum.

Sometimes I put the little eye patches on,

I'll just show you actually

so you can see.

Sometimes I put these Peter Thomas Roth detox,

Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches.

These are some of the only eye patches

that I've seen that actually work for my under eyes,

'cause as you guys can see, I have, it's genetic honestly,

and I don't sleep very much so I have super,

super, super dark just under eyes and around my eyes.

So I just try to do some things to just brighten them,

part of that is hydrating, I forgot to mention that earlier,

drink your water.

So I'm just gonna go into my serum.

My serum situation is a little crazy.

I use this Prestige Cell, this Concentrated Serum.

I got this in Korea when we were in Seoul,

and I just remember messing with it in the store

and being like, me and my friend were like,

"Hold on, sis, is your skin getting better

"as I'm looking at you but it's too good to be true

"so you don't wanna acknowledge it?"

And she was like, "Yes," and I was,

"Bet, let's get all of them."

So I have this serum, I do use the Chanel Le Lift Serum.

I also use the Chanel Blue Antioxidant Serum.

I also use the Drops of Youth,

these have plant stem cells in them

from The Body Shop.

I use the La Mer Regenerating Serum,

the La Mer The Serum Essence,

and last but definitely not least,

I use the Bio Lifting Serum by Chantecaille.

So I know this sounds crazy and it is crazy,

and so all of these dermatologists and estheticians

are gonna be like, "Whoo, whoo, whoo!"

But it works for me and my skin looks really good

once I'm done using these, so like I said,

that's how it is, honey.

Okay, so the trick for me here is to just

a teeny little drop of all of these.

They all do something different,

they all do something different,

they all do something a little similar obviously

'cause they're all serums, but they all do something

a little different, and I've tried a bunch

of different serums and like put these together

and this is like a combination of serums

that is really, really good for my skin.

Okay, so this is what I basically look like

when I'm done, it's a mess.

I just mix all of that together.

You definitely don't want to do it in layers

but again, I'm not gonna, I'm not here to preach to you

about no skin, I'm just showing you what works

really well for my skin.

So if it works for you to put on all these other layers,

I don't know, do it.

Rub that in, I put that again on my neck

and my ears, and then I'll later on,

off camera I'll do that.

So next we're gonna move onto the eye creams.

So I'm gonna start actually with an eye serum.

This is just a sample honestly, 'cause I just like

had to pick up some things and they gave me this sample

of this eye serum.

I'm always trying stuff for my eyes

'cause again like I said, it's just like

darkness becomes you under there.

And my makeup artist was telling me,

you know, you gotta try an eye serum.

So I just looked at a couple of them

and then I got this free sample from them,

so I said, "Why not try it," and so far it's been okay,

you know, I don't know if I noticed

like a huge difference but it's been cool.

Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.
