MICHELLE PHAN MAKEUP YOUR BEAUTY GUIDE, STYLE, AND SUCCESS ONLINE AND OFFLINE NOW AVAILABLE! Hello everyone. In this tutorial, I’ll teach you how to rejuvenate and care for your skin. My kitty, the Human, wants to say hi to everyone. How are you MEOW? In this tutorial, I’ll give you a very complete tutorial on how to rejuvenate your skin. These are tips I use personally, so I know they work. Very simple. There will be five tips. The first, the most important, is to cleanse your skin. The key to rejuvenation is to make sure your skin is clean.
So it can absorb all the good products we put on it. So make sure the cleanser you use is effective, especially if you wear a lot of makeup or waterproof mascara. I know it’s unconventional compared to what you’ve heard, but try using cleansing oils instead of face washes or any harsh chemical soaps on the market. It doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money. You can use something simple like extra virgin olive oil, and this is my favorite makeup remover: VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.
And also my homemade cleanser. It’s so homemade that you can use it straight from the bottle. If you’re going to use extra virgin olive oil, you need an organic one. Especially if you’re using it on your face, you don’t want something low-quality. So look for an organic extra virgin olive oil to apply to your face. It will melt makeup, be easy to remove, and also help nourish your skin. Because it doesn’t strip the natural oils already on my face. But it helps break down products at the same time.

Without irritating my skin. For those who are unsure about acne-prone skin, using oil on your skin doesn’t mean it will make it oilier. In fact, it will help nourish the skin and prevent further irritation. Instead of using harsh chemicals, look for a more organic product, one with less alcohol, fewer parabens, and something that’s gentler on your skin. This is why I recommend using oils on your skin to cleanse and remove makeup. I know there will be nights when you’ll be lazy about removing your makeup.
If you have time to brush your teeth, you have time to remove your makeup. Invest in a good makeup remover. I love this one from CremorLab. What I like about these wipes is that it doesn’t feel like makeup remover. When you remove your makeup, your skin isn’t dry. This has moisturizer and feels more hydrating because it removes the makeup instead of stripping everything and leaving your face dry. So, when I’m feeling lazy, the CremorLab Cleansing Veil is my favorite makeup remover. The second step is to treat your skin. There are different ways to treat it.
My favorite way to treat my skin is with a mud mask. This one is from Caolion. It’s a Korean brand. Since I’ve been using it, I’ve noticed that the size of my pores has decreased dramatically. It’s incredible. I know it has bentonite clay and other natural, organic ingredients. I’m sure it has a lot of magical ingredients. But it works. A mud mask is an excellent way to cleanse impurities and toxins from the skin. What it does is attract and remove it, bringing it to the surface of the skin, so you can rinse it right off.
Find a mask that works well for you. There are some great ones at Whole Foods. I know there are many good natural ones you can use. And also the old trick I used in college: scentless cat rocks. I know it sounds crazy. I have a cat, so I know how crazy it sounds, but a lot of times, when you look at the ingredients in scentless rocks, especially organic scentless rocks, it’s just bentonite clay. And bentonite clay is found in expensive, really good mud masks, like these ones.
That are on the market. It’s crazy. You should take the stone powder, wet it, and apply it to your face, like a mud mask, and rinse it off. Another treatment I like is a honey mask. And what makes it unique is that it’s a natural antibiotic. So, not only will it help brighten the skin, but it also has healing properties, which help heal and nourish the skin. My favorite honey is manuka honey. It has more antibiotics than regular honey from the market or the store.
It’s a little more expensive, so if you’re on a budget, manuka honey might be too expensive. But I love it because not only do I use it on my face, but I also use it when I have a sore throat. I take a spoonful of manuka honey. I eat it. And the next day my throat feels better and I’m not sick anymore. It’s an excellent way to heal your body and your skin. I do it twice a week. I apply manuka honey to my face, leave it on for five to ten minutes.
And I rinsed it off. And my skin feels great. This is a great way to treat and nourish your skin. And if you’re feeling fancy, then I recommend using a well-made skin mask. INNISFREE INTENSIVE AMPOULE. This is from Innisfree. I discovered this brand when I was in Korea. And I found a store, and I love every product they had there. It has incredible quality. They make organic and natural products. And I like that this mask has a two-step process. You have this serum, which is attached here, you peel it off and apply it to your face. It’s vitamin C.
And then you apply the mask. And when you peel it off, your skin feels like new. If these masks are too expensive for you, you can make your own. It’s very simple. You just need rectangular cotton sheets like these. And essence. What the essence does is soften the skin, brighten it, and also help prepare it for other products you’ll apply afterward. What I do is, I take the essence, put it on the cotton ball, let it sit for ten seconds, and stretch it out. Then I peel it off layer by layer, applying it to my face.
Ten minutes is enough. And then just rub it in, and your skin will feel very fresh and rejuvenated. And now you’re ready to start the third step. The third step is toning your skin. With toners, you have to be careful with what’s on the market right now because there are a lot of things that have a lot of alcohol in them. And alcohol dries out the skin. That’s the opposite of what we want to do. So get a toner that doesn’t have a lot of alcohol, like this one from Be the Skin. BOTANICAL NUTRITION This is one of the best toners I’ve ever used.
I love it. In addition to using this toner, I sometimes combine it with apple cider vinegar. This apple cider vinegar is the best I’ve ever used. It’s called Solana Gold. It’s all organic. You can find it at Whole Foods or buy it online. I’ll add the link below. I love it because it’s raw. It’s unfiltered. I take two cotton balls, soak one in water, and the other in vinegar. I cleanse my face with the apple cider vinegar, and then I clean it with water. And I keep doing this over and over again.
Until my skin feels that tingling sensation. You shouldn’t use raw apple cider vinegar on your face because it can sting too much and be too harsh for your face, so I recommend neutralizing it with water. So water, apple cider vinegar, and mix them together. And your skin will feel amazing. I’ll say Thank You for not using those chemicals on my face and giving me something natural and raw. Step four is to nourish your skin. Look for ingredients that are good for your skin, that give it radiance.
So products like Vitamin C, which can be applied all over your skin, will help firm it and help it produce more collagen. I found this one on Amazon. It’s from Oz Naturals. It’s my favorite Vitamin C serum. It’s 20% Vitamin C, which is pretty potent. Another serum I like is from Be The Skin. BE THE SKIN BOTANICAL SERUM, and my goodness, it’s so powerful! You only need two pumps, and after toning, apply the serum first, before moisturizing. And pat it all over your skin.
A serum is like a moisturizer with a boost of potency. It’s like a moisturizer without the benefits of a moisturizer, but it has all the powerful ingredients in it. For example, let’s say you don’t have the best diet, but you take supplements. Serums are like that. You may not have the best skincare routine, but a serum makes all the difference because you add many powerful active ingredients to your face that help heal and nourish your skin. Another good vitamin for skin is vitamin A, also called retinol. RETINOL AGE CORRECTOR.
The one I use is from Iope. I love it. You don’t need a prescription for this retinol. You can buy it online or over the counter. What I do is take a little bit of retinol. I apply it to my forehead, my labial and nasal folds, a little to my crow’s feet, and the rest to my cheeks. And that helps cells renew faster, so the skin rejuvenates more quickly. But you have to be careful because retinol can dry out your skin. Make sure you apply a good moisturizer afterward.
Or your skin will break out and get very irritated. If you need something stronger, you can use a retinoid cream, and it’s only available by prescription. I have a 0.05 and I use it on my forehead, and again, on the labial and nasal folds, and wow, it makes a difference. I know it’s very strong because sometimes I notice my skin feels dry, so I only use a little. But my personal favorite is the over-the-counter one, which isn’t as strong as the prescription one.
Okay. The final step, step number five, is to moisturize your skin. Find a good moisturizer that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on your skin. People often think the heavier the better, but that’s for older skin. If you have younger skin or are under 50, you don’t need something so heavy. Something that’s light, refreshing, and hydrating, but doesn’t weigh your skin down. I use this one every night; it’s from Aromatica. ROSE ABSOLUTE VITAL CREAM It’s a beautiful moisturizer. I love the texture.
It comes with a scoop, but don’t contaminate it. You take it out and dislodge the product between your fingers and pat it on your face. And your skin will feel really soft the next morning. It feels good and doesn’t feel greasy or oily. Another moisturizer I like, besides this one, is an oil-based moisturizer. MOISTURIZING FACIAL OIL Same brand, Aromatica. It doesn’t have to be this oil. It can be argan oil, olive oil, coconut oil. Any oil that’s safe to use. Not only will it moisturize your skin,
But it will also feel natural. It won’t irritate. That’s the final step. Hydrate your skin, moisturize it, and you’re ready to sleep and rest. When you go shopping, don’t compare prices, don’t see what’s expensive, see what’s effective. Aside from cleansing your face, moisturizing your skin is the most important thing. And remember, don’t stop drinking water. Just because you’re using all these products on your face, don’t expect miracles. Because half the battle is also what’s entering your body. Well, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
