and tonight let's go through my nighttime routine

and get ready ready in bed with me.

(beep) Let's get ready with bed. Wow!

(beep) And get ready for bed with me.

(upbeat music)

So I'm going to warn you guys,

I am a huge skincare junkie.

Number one, my mom's always love skincare,

so I've had one since I was really young,

but I think also growing up on sets,

I always had tons of makeup on.

So I've always had to be really diligent about my skincare

because one, I have very sensitive and acne prone skin.

I mean, I'm an adult and I still struggle with acne today.

So let's do this.

First thing to do of course, is cleanse.

I will say this, I have never gone to bed without

cleansing my skin.

I can truly say that.

No matter how tired I am,

no matter how crazy of a night I've had,

I will always wash my face,

and I double cleanse always.

So, my first step is this Tatcha Camellia Oil.

I've been using this for years.

It's one of the very few things that can get

all this makeup off, so let's do this. (cap opens)

You're supposed to put it onto dry skin,

and it's really weird.

I'm still not used to it, it still feels really bizarre,

but here we go.

Oh, I have always struggled with my skin,

and I feel like it took all of my twenties

to sort of figure out what worked for me,

and I finally felt like I got to a really good place.

And then I got pregnant (Brenda chuckles).

And everything changes when you're pregnant.

You realize, and you find out that you can't use anything.

Everything is bad for your face apparently.

All right. (Brenda groans)

And this is a new thing that I've been using,

it's like when it gives that little face things,

this is like the Face Halo.

My makeup artist on set told me I needed to stop

scrubbing on my face so much.

So once I have this cleanser on,

I just (water squeezes out) wet this guy.

This is what I like, take off, all this makeup with.

And I think you're only supposed to use water with this,

but I use it with my cleanser.

Hey, whatever works, right?

All right, next step.

I go in with another cleanser.

This is also a Tatcha one.

I discovered Tatcha when I was pregnant,

because you can use virtually everything in their line

when you're pregnant,

because they have very clean ingredients,

nothing too harmful.

And it didn't agitate my skin, which was a huge deal,

because (lid closes) yeah,

I break out when I use everything.

All right, double cleanse.

This is my favorite step because I feel like

as much as I love wearing makeup and I love getting ready,

there is nothing like taking it all off.

Look, I did that first cleanse and there's still makeup

on my face.

Gotta double cleanse people, gotta double cleanse.

(water runs)

All right.

I don't know about you guys,

but I am a person that when I wash my face,

I get water everywhere.

Is that just me?

Probably, I'm very clumsy.

And these are something I also discovered during,

because I have a son,

these little muslin cloths that I use for his bath.

(Brenda chuckles)

They're good enough for my son's butt,

but they should be good enough for my face.

Now again, because I wear so much makeup like, on set,

I have to tone after this to just take off everything.

And one of the things that I like actually love are,

it's like a, it's my little splurge,

because I feel like cotton pads are just cotton pads.

But I found these like Shiseido ones that are like,

fluffy little clouds that make this step really wonderful.

And I think when it comes to skincare,

it's all about taking care of yourself, (lid drops)

taking the time out of your day,

to just like spend 15 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever,

five minutes, just taking care of yourself.

So I think that's really, really important.

You really forget, especially in these first few months

of taking care of another human,

it's all about them, as it should be.

But you have to realize that if you don't take care

of yourself and be good to yourself,

you can't be good to your baby, your partner,

your family, whoever.

So yeah, look, guys, I double cleansed and I'm toning,

and there's still make up on here.

So much makeup!

Next step is I love this La Mer Treatment Lotion,

it's like water.

I felt when I first used this,

everyone recommended it to me,

and it felt like I was just putting,

I was like, I'm putting expensive water on my face.

Is it doing anything?

Guys? It does. It does.

If anything, whether it's placebo,

it just makes me feel,

oh, and it also smells amazing.

(Brenda takes deep breath)

It just makes me feel like I'm putting really expensive

spa water on my face.

And I will say afterwards, my skin feels so much softer.

Oh, we have a bogey, a mess guys, a mess,

but yeah, I love this.

So it was just, you just it into your skin,

and sort of let it soak in.

And when I used to do my nights,

my nighttime skin routine,

I used to always take this time to like listen to a book

or like listen to a podcast.

I'm very big on like multitasking,

but nowadays it's just the white noise (Brenda chuckles)

from a baby monitor.

It's calming now,

it's calming knowing that my child is asleep.

Next step, is serum.

And I will say this about like my skin care in general,

I actually have a ton of different products.

And I sort of just use what my skin needs

like in this moment, like tonight.

And I also feel like I had to switch it up,

because I feel like my skin gets used to certain products

and it like kind of stops working.

So I kind of switch it out every couple of months,

to just, again, this could be all placebo.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

I just love products.

This is another find that I found because of

a castmate of mine, Shay Mitchell,

she loves this Active Serum,

and she has the most beautiful skin.

So of course I had to try it.

And of course she was right, it's wonderful.

It's again, like water, so just use a few drops.

And I just like press it into my skin,

and the thing about this serum,

and I feel like because of this,

I feel like it's working,

your face kind of stings when it like hits your face.

So it has to be doing something, right?

For about three times a week, I like to use retinol.

And this is something that I just started doing

like a couple of years ago, (lid opens) because I'm 33 guys.

The struggle is real.

So I started using retinol,

and I started with this brand called Obagi.

For me, it's all about exfoliating constantly,

and like resurfacing because I gab,

I have a lot of melanin in my skin.

So even if I have a pimple and I don't touch it,

I don't pick it.

I don't do anything.

It will scar.

It will leave a mark.

I actually, when I was pregnant,

I was really, really worried about melasma.

So I did not go outside basically my entire pregnancy,

because I was so scared that-

My poor garden.

Like it missed me so much, because I refused to go outside.

I had like the biggest hat on, I would have an umbrella.

Because I was so scared of melasma, and you know what?

I don't have any because I stayed inside,

and I used tons of sunscreen,

tons and tons of sunscreen.

My next step. (Brenda laughs)

I go to eye cream.

And again, I have a couple of different that I love,

but right now, because the weather is changing,

and it's getting colder out,

my skin is a little more dehydrated.

So I've been loving this Hourglass Equilibrium.

I didn't even know they did skincare, but I love this.

It's like a balm.

So it's not like a cream, but it's really hydrating,

but it doesn't clog my pores,

or like irritates my skin at all.

Of course its the pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

(Brenda sighs)

I realized that also halfway through like my twenties,

I was doing my skincare all wrong.

I was like, I wasn't patting enough.

I wasn't like, going upwards enough.

I was like, it's all about the upwards motion,

the wash on, like all the rollers.

I did that more during the day,

and also now just because I don't have time.

So yeah, so now it's like hands, hands, hands, hands,

pressing upwards.

No wrinkles, uplifting, uplifting.

Next, and almost my final step.

We're almost there guys, we're almost there.

Thank you for sticking with me.

Is my moisturizer.

And I alternate between an oil or like a thicker cream.

But again, because I'm a little drier right now,

and I've been using this for years.

It's also by Revive, it's called the

Moisturizing Renewal Cream Supreme.

It's just so luxurious.

It smells wonderful, and I wake up the next day and my skin

just feels so hydrated and so plump.

I always just take like a pea size amount of everything

and upwards, upwards, guys, upwards, upwards.

I feel like my mom's gonna watch this and be like,

'You did everything wrong'. (Brenda laughs)

I'm trying mom, I'm trying.

No, my mom is so great.

She loves skincare, so she's one of the like,

I've had a skincare routine since I was like 10,

just like going, 'Oh, you know, like learning how to like

cleanse and moisturize my skin',

nothing big, but it was something we would do together.

Like we would, at the end of the night,

while she was getting ready,

like I would be like on my dad's sink,

like doing it with her,

and just kinda became our thing.

And it's still our thing.

So moisturize, I have to do lips.

I love this 24 Camellia Lip Balm by like Tatcha.

I don't know, any old lip balm would do,

but I need all the moisture.

Also, usually I have a big water bottle here because

I'm always trying to drink water.

That's like a huge thing for my skin,

is just to stay hydrated,

drink lots and lots and lots of water.

And when you think you've had enough, drink some more.

And one of the things that I, because I'm breaking out,

I have found this thing last couple of years,

little pimple patches, where they're like little stickers.

Like I have a couple right here.
