Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about my
00:00:04.660 skincare routine. This is a meme on the internet that all of these influencers are always saying
00:00:12.480 everyone always asks me about my skincare routine but people do ask me about my skincare routine
00:00:18.680 so I figure it's like semi-appropriate. I did a skincare routine video quite a while back but
00:00:25.460 a lot of things have changed, things have been updated so I wanted to share with you kind of
00:00:29.980 my new and updated skincare routine and I'm so excited to share with you guys that I am an
00:00:35.320 ambassador with the brand Fleur & Bee. So I did share this over on my Instagram but I haven't
00:00:40.040 really talked about it too much on YouTube or maybe at all. I reviewed their products quite a
00:00:45.160 long time ago and I absolutely love their products. I also really appreciate that they reached out to
00:00:51.260 me when I was just a really small content creator and now I'm working with them as an ambassador
00:00:56.880 so that's really cool and you know that I really love their products because I was using it
00:01:01.000 all the way back when and I've been using it honestly since they gave it to me over a year ago.
00:01:06.240 Now Fleur & Bee is also cruelty free which I love. It donates 1% of its proceeds to charity which is
00:01:12.680 amazing and they only use natural ingredients which is a really nice thing. We're putting good
00:01:17.220 healthy things on our face on our skin. So I'm really excited to share their products with you guys
00:01:21.940 as well as quite a few others that I use in my skincare routine for my body and also my face.
00:01:27.660 I'm also excited to share that I have a coupon code with them so if you use CLASSICALLYABBY in all caps
00:01:32.980 you'll get 20% off your purchase. I'll put the link in the description box below and if you click on that
00:01:38.900 link it's also an affiliate link so of course I'll make a little bit of money and you guys will get a
00:01:42.620 discount. So I'm really excited to share that with you guys and now let's get into the rest of the video.
00:01:47.180 So I'm trying to decide if I should start off with body stuff or face stuff and I feel like I'm going to
00:01:52.000 start off with body stuff just because I have less. I have a lot of things that I use on my face which
00:01:57.280 is why I take so long in the bathroom at night. My husband's always asking me why it takes so long
00:02:01.780 and I say well I have this step and that step and this step. I think he's starting to understand but
00:02:06.760 it is kind of funny. So starting with the body I want to talk about my body wash. So I use the Aveeno Skin Relief
00:02:13.820 body wash and it soothes itchy dry skin. So the reason that I like this body wash so much is
00:02:18.720 because I have pretty sensitive skin. So if I use something with a fragrance or something that is
00:02:25.300 not super gentle my skin will get dry and itchy and this Aveeno body wash doesn't do that for me.
00:02:31.500 It's very soothing. It doesn't have a scent and I really like how it makes my skin feel and it doesn't
00:02:37.580 have that fragrance that can really be an irritant for a lot of people's skin. I got this giant size
00:02:43.220 which I love because it means I'm not going to run out for quite a while and if I use a loofah I
00:02:47.940 don't need more than two pumps. Definitely not for the whole body. So I really like this stuff and I
00:02:53.000 think it's really great and I like the way that it makes my skin feel. And just so you know I'll also
00:02:57.200 link all of the products that I'm talking about in the description box. So if you're interested you
00:03:01.900 can try it. Most of the links will probably be from Amazon but some of them might be on the Florinbee
00:03:06.020 website. So next up what I wanted to talk about is the Neutrogena body oil. This is their light
00:03:10.740 sesame formula. I actually don't know if this has a fragrance but for some reason it doesn't bother
00:03:16.100 me so I can use it. And there are two ways that I use this. It kind of just depends on my mood.
00:03:22.040 Usually I'll put it on the loofah with my body wash and it'll just add that little extra moisture that
00:03:27.280 my skin really craves. And I really like the way that it makes my skin feel after I use it. It's just
00:03:32.580 very soothing. Yeah this does say it has fragrance. So I think there may be a fragrance free version that I
00:03:37.720 would probably switch to. I think I just bought this without realizing it had fragrance in it.
00:03:42.560 But it hasn't really bothered my skin as of yet. I might switch over to that fragrance free one.
00:03:47.640 But I do really like using it that way by just putting it on the loofah or I'll put it on after
00:03:52.260 I shower. So I will while I'm still wet put this on my body and just kind of add that extra layer of
00:03:58.260 moisture. I generally prefer an oil to a moisturizer although I do use a moisturizer just because if I put
00:04:04.200 this on while I'm still wet when I towel off I don't feel greasy. And this especially is pretty
00:04:08.960 light so it doesn't feel greasy on my body. And so those are what I use when I'm showering
00:04:13.780 and after I shower. Now if we're talking about moisturizer like I said I don't generally prefer
00:04:17.860 moisturizer. But just recently I got back into using a moisturizer because I wanted the tanning
00:04:23.900 properties. So this is the Juergens Natural Glow Firming Plus Daily Moisturizer and it's a medium
00:04:29.660 to tan skin tones which I'm not either of those things. But I wanted a deeper tan more quickly.
00:04:35.600 And this is a really really great alternative to normal tanning. I can't do the whole normal
00:04:41.940 tanning thing. I can't sit for two hours and not do anything or I'll get on stuff. This is just an
00:04:47.860 easy way to get a tan. I find that it's not very streaky. I haven't had issues with that. And it is
00:04:53.240 very moisturizing. So I really like the way it feels. It has a very nice scent. The color is great.
00:04:58.500 And it took me three days to get to this color right now which for me is dark. Maybe for the
00:05:04.880 average person it's not dark. But for me this is pretty dark. And I want to keep applying it. See
00:05:09.300 how far we can get that tan to go. But I really like how nice the tan looks with this. How
00:05:15.700 moisturizing it is. And what I'll say is that I use a lot because I use this pretty much all over my
00:05:20.580 body and I still have quite a bit left. So I don't know how they're doing that. This seems magical to me
00:05:26.620 because I feel like I'm using too much for this to last. But it seems to be working. I'm definitely
00:05:31.820 going to repurchase when I run out because I really like this. And for me it's a very good
00:05:35.180 alternative to other tanning mousses. So I like this a lot and it is part of my skincare regimen.
00:05:40.740 The last thing for my body is sunscreen. So when I go to the pool, when I go to the beach,
00:05:45.480 I want to use a really good sunscreen that's good for my skin because hey I don't want to get a sunburn.
00:05:50.560 That would not be good for me. And skin cancer is a real thing. So we want to be very careful about
00:05:54.580 that. So I use the Coppertone Glow in SPF 50. So this has shimmer in it. And I got this on sale
00:06:00.680 so it was like $6. But I really really like that it is shiny. It makes me feel pretty and kind of like
00:06:07.200 ooh reflective in the sun. Oh I'm like a vampire. I didn't even think about that. Sorry. Twilight
00:06:11.840 reference. Oh I probably shouldn't make that reference. And I just really like the way that this
00:06:16.960 makes my skin look. I also like that it has SPF 50. And it is pretty moisturizing. It doesn't
00:06:21.880 come off my skin. If you're not a lotion person, if you like sprays, then obviously this wouldn't be
00:06:27.020 the right fit for you. But I really like it. And I like the way it makes my skin look. And it's just
00:06:31.840 pretty and easy and SPF 50 which is pretty good for skin. Of course you can always go up and that's
00:06:36.920 always better. But this is good for me. Okay. So now that we are done with the body skincare,
00:06:41.800 let's talk about face skincare. So first step is makeup remover. So I am currently using the
00:06:49.180 Pond's Cold Cream Makeup Remover. I want to see if they have a fragrance-free formula because this is
00:06:54.380 a very strong fragrance to me. But it is hypoallergenic. It is suitable for sensitive skin.
00:06:58.940 It won't clog pores. And it's dermatologist tested. And all of those things check the boxes for me
00:07:03.740 because I don't want to get acne from whatever I'm using. This is also a little bit difficult to get
00:07:09.100 off. It's very creamy. So I have found that the best way to use this is to put it all over the
00:07:14.400 face and then wipe it off with a towel and then continue with your skincare regimen. Trying to
00:07:18.660 rinse this off and then using a soap to get it off your face, it's just too thick for that to work.
00:07:25.000 But it does get everything off and it does keep your face super, super hydrated. It does not feel dry
00:07:30.780 afterward. It does not feel like I've stripped it, which it really did used to feel like when I would
00:07:35.600 use makeup remover wipes. This does not do that at all. It's very hydrating. It gets off all of my
00:07:41.200 makeup. And it also encourages you to massage your skin so that you're actually getting blood flow there
00:07:46.720 and that's always good for your facial skin. It's good for you to do that. But it is very thick. So
00:07:52.020 if you don't want that kind of extra step of, okay, I'm going to massage my makeup off and then wipe it
00:07:56.960 off with a towel and then wash it, this may not be the right fit for you. But I'm enjoying it so far.
00:08:01.160 I really like the effect of it and I look forward to continuing to use it and using it more. Like I
00:08:07.020 said, I do want to look and see if there is one that doesn't have fragrance. And if there is one
00:08:11.300 that doesn't have fragrance, I'll probably switch over to that one when I'm done with this. Now,
00:08:14.740 another part of my skincare routine that I don't do every single night, but I would do after I took
00:08:19.220 off my makeup, for example, is this Prince Charcoal Detox Mask. I did a video about this on my channel
00:08:24.880 and y'all, I am obsessed with this mask. I love it so much. I really do. I use it whenever I
00:08:31.020 feel a little breakout or when I have acne. I'll also use it as a spot treatment and leave it on
00:08:35.360 just on those spots or I'll do my whole face. And I have seen a difference. It makes a big
00:08:40.960 difference for me. It's very moisturizing even as a charcoal mask, which is super rare. You're never
00:08:45.580 going to get that where it's like a charcoal mask, which is drying, but it doesn't make your skin feel
00:08:49.460 tight and dry afterward. This actually is nourishing even as it's drying out those impurities. And I really
00:08:57.440 like that about it. To me, I use it when I have acne and I really enjoy how it makes my skin look
00:09:02.680 and feel afterward. And I really love this stuff. So if you're looking for something that is going
00:09:08.060 to be a charcoal mask, is going to dry out those impurities, but isn't going to dry out your skin,
00:09:11.620 this is the thing. Use this. It's great. So of course, I'll link everything below, but this is one
00:09:17.280 of my favorite products from Fleur & Bee. Next up, let's talk about cleansers. So I have two that I
00:09:22.020 switch off between. And the first one I want to talk about is my Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating
00:09:26.600 Cleansing Gel. So I'm still using this, even though I talked about it a year and a half ago. I still
00:09:31.600 use this quite a bit. And I do like it. It is a little bit more drying. Even though it's hydrating,
00:09:36.960 it's slightly more drying than my other cleanser. But I really like to use this just kind of mixed
00:09:43.000 in. When my skin is feeling almost too hydrated, this is what I'll use when I want to get kind of
00:09:48.900 a little bit of dryness back in the skin. Now that sounds crazy. Maybe the skin doesn't feel like it
00:09:53.420 can be too hydrated. But for me, if my skin is just like too oily, then it starts to feel like
00:09:57.720 I'm going to get acne. So sometimes I'll use something like this just to kind of like have
00:10:01.720 a clean slate. And I really like this for that. It does not strip my skin. It's not going to leave
00:10:07.400 me dry. But there's something about it that feels very cleansing. I don't know how else to describe it.
00:10:12.520 But I really like this stuff. And it's just simple. It's not trying to do anything complicated.
00:10:16.480 And it just kind of makes my skin feel clean. Now what I will generally be using,
00:10:20.700 and something I've been testing out for the last couple of weeks, is the So Clean Cleanser.
00:10:25.120 So this is from Fleur & B. And it is incredibly moisturizing. Now this does have coconut oil
00:10:31.220 in it. So I was a little bit concerned about that myself. And if you're somebody who is comedogenic
00:10:36.500 or acne prone, you want to make sure that you are really rinsing this off. And that's what
00:10:42.100 I do. I'm pretty careful about that. But it leaves your skin so soft and so hydrated. Honestly,
00:10:48.800 it feels like my skin has had a moisturizer on it after I use this when I'm washing my face.
00:10:55.560 And I really, really like the way that it makes my skin feel. I feel like in winter this is going
00:10:59.600 to be even more important. Because in winter my skin gets really dry. And this will actually give
00:11:05.400 you hydration while you're cleansing. Which is a crazy thing to think about. But I just find that
00:11:11.100 that's what this feels like. It makes my skin feel really, really moisturized. Now with both of my
00:11:16.380 cleansers, I've talked on and on about this. But I use a silicone sonic brush on my face. And that
00:11:22.580 makes a huge difference to how deeply my cleanser penetrates my skin. And I am a huge, huge proponent
00:11:30.460 of that. So if you are trying to find some sort of face scrubber, that's what I would recommend.
00:11:34.720 I use like a $15, $18 one I got on Amazon. I'll link something similar below because I got mine
00:11:40.700 a very long time ago. And it's lasted me forever. But that thing has made a huge difference in my
00:11:46.480 skin. And I'm such a big fan. So I will link that too. So the next thing that I like to use
00:11:51.780 is the Fleur&B Rosewater Toner. I just love the way this makes my skin look. I do feel like I see
00:11:58.260 a slight difference in my pores after I use it. I just really like the way it makes my skin feel.
00:12:03.620 It's very hydrating. And it feels like my skin looks smoother after I use it. Which I
00:12:07.800 really like. And I think it's nice to use in the morning and the night just to kind of like
00:12:11.920 refresh the skin. It also has a very nice fragrance of roses. It's very slight. But I do enjoy how this
00:12:18.100 makes my skin look and feel. Next up I want to talk about their vitamin C serum. So this is 15%
00:12:22.740 vitamin C and it's brightening. And I love this serum. I really like it because I use it to help
00:12:28.340 with my acne scars. I really like how it improves the look of my skin even after I've had dark spots on
00:12:34.760 it. So I really like how this feels, looks, and smells. It doesn't smell bad at all. It's very
00:12:39.760 soothing on the skin. I'll actually use this in the morning because I use rosehip seed oil at night
00:12:45.180 and I don't want to combine too many products. But I really, really enjoy this a lot. Especially
00:12:51.140 if you feel like you have some dark marks on your skin that you would like to brighten.
00:12:54.640 Next up let's talk about their eye cream. So they have their Eyes Eyes Baby Eye Cream. It's
00:12:59.280 anti-aging and firming and it has a little bit of caffeine in it which actually kind of like
00:13:04.740 tightens the skin under your eye or at least makes it look like that. And I really enjoy this eye
00:13:09.840 cream. It's very thin and it goes such a long way. You can use a little bit on each eye and this thing
00:13:15.460 will last you forever. Even though it's very small it will last you a really long time. I love the way
00:13:20.820 that my eyes have been looking since I started using this. It feels very moisturizing and hydrating
00:13:25.260 but also firming. Next up let's talk about moisturizers. So I switch off between a few
00:13:30.380 different moisturizers. I have one for the morning and then I have two different ones that I use at
00:13:35.000 night. So for the morning I always use my Aveeno Protect Plus Hydrate sunscreen and this is an SPF 50.
00:13:41.500 It's 24 hour hydration, a lightweight formula. It's non-comedogenic which is obviously like one of the
00:13:46.820 more important things for me and I love this stuff. It is so great. It feels so good on my skin. It's
00:13:52.180 hydrating so I don't use another moisturizer in the morning. I just use this and I really like the
00:13:57.200 way it feels. I also just love that it has such a high SPF for the face which is very important
00:14:02.420 and it goes on great underneath makeup. It hasn't affected my makeup application at all. So I
00:14:07.240 really recommend this if you're looking for a face sunscreen. I feel like so many people feel like
00:14:12.140 they have to use really expensive face sunscreens and I'm not a proponent of that. This is great and
00:14:16.760 it's very affordable. Now for moisturizers at night I switch off between two. So the one that I use
00:14:22.060 more in the summertime is this Neutrogena Deep Moisture Night Cream. It's pretty light but it
00:14:27.680 still has some body to it. It's not super heavy and for me that's all I need in the summer. I don't
00:14:32.480 need something that's incredibly heavy, really thick. I don't need that extra hydration because
00:14:37.100 I have pretty oily skin in the summer anyways. It's not dry in the same way. So using a Neutrogena Deep
00:14:43.620 Moisture Night Cream which is really simple and easy. I really enjoy. Plus I can mix it with my pure
00:14:49.260 rosehip seed oil. So these are the two things I use when I'm moisturizing my face at night. I really
00:14:55.020 love using rosehip seed oil. It just makes my skin feel really nice and fresh and more hydrated and
00:15:01.300 it doesn't break me out at all. Really great to use and using them together is just like a really good
00:15:07.040 combination. And then in the winter time I'll use the Creme de la Cream Moisturizer from Fleur & Bee. So
00:15:13.300 this is much heavier and it just delivers a burst of moisturization, a burst of hydration. It's much
00:15:19.480 more intense but it does an amazing job at making your skin feel like it sucked in the moisture which
00:15:24.520 is fantastic. And so that's kind of what I do in the winter as opposed to summer. And then even though
00:15:30.160 this isn't a skincare item I thought I would mention it, I do use emollient castor oil on my lashes
00:15:35.280 almost every night. I hope to use it every night but sometimes I forget. And so I'll just put this on my
00:15:40.860 lashes and I've seen a really big difference in the strength of my lashes, how long they've grown,
00:15:45.260 and it does add to my skincare regimen because it does end up kind of around my eyes and it's also
00:15:49.860 moisturizing. Hey guys, Editing Abby here. I realized I forgot to talk about a couple of products that I
00:15:55.720 use specifically for clearing my acne. So I use the Differin gel that you can get over the counter
00:16:01.640 and it is an adapalene gel that I just put all over my face to prevent breakouts. It's super important
00:16:08.120 to my regimen and I always use it. And more recently I added the Rapid Clear On The Spot
00:16:14.340 treatment from Neutrogena which is a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream which I also use. You have to be
00:16:20.600 careful with that one because it can be drying but it's really helpful with maskne right now and I have
00:16:25.840 seen huge huge improvement. I'm only using it every other day because it's very drying. Of course talk to
00:16:33.420 your doctor before using any new treatments. Don't just go out and buy something and try it. I'm not
00:16:38.640 a doctor. I can't give you real medical advice but for myself these have been really really helpful.
00:16:44.640 But that's it for my current skincare routine. I am really happy with these products and what I've been
00:16:50.920 using. Of course we all have maskne. We're all struggling with it so I'm not going to blame any of
00:16:56.240 these products for that. That's just kind of what we're dealing with right now. It's summertime.
00:16:59.880 You're putting something on your face that's sweaty all day. Like that's just not a great plan
00:17:03.840 for acne but everything I'm using makes me feel really good. Makes my skin feel really hydrated.
00:17:09.520 Makes my body look better. I just like everything that I'm using quite a bit. So I hope you guys
00:17:15.060 enjoyed this video. Let me know in the comments what your skincare routine is. I'd love to hear your
00:17:19.440 guys' thoughts and let me know if you do decide to try some of these products. So let me know in the
