hey guys and welcome back to my channel
so today's video is going to be all
about my drugstore skincare routine last
night when I went to bed my skin was
looking so good so I thought this would
be a great video to film for you guys
today and then of course when I woke up
this morning my skin was given me some
issues I've got a few pimples down on my
chin but then I thought you know what
everybody gets pimples and nobody has
perfect skin so I'm just gonna fill in
this video anyways and hopefully it's
helpful for you guys if you have similar
skin to me I have very dry sensitive
skin and it tends to break out if I use
anything that has irritating ingredients
so any kind of like alcohol or fragrant
ingredients will definitely break my
skin out and make it look red so the
products that I'm going to show you in
this video today are all of drugstore
products with the exemption of one
product but it is affordable so it's
definitely something that you can put
into your skincare routine if you like
to use affordable products the reason we
tend to use drugstore products over
high-end products is because drugstore
products you can find brands that use
very simple ingredients and I find a lot
of high-end products tend to use very
irritating ingredients you just don't
really need to spend the money on really
great skincare
I don't think anyways I think the
director has some really great options
and since I've switched to the skincare
routine and my skin has gotten so much
better so hopefully this video is
helpful for you guys and you can try
some of these products and see if they
work for you last year I was having a
lot of issues with my skin just in
regards to breakouts so I'll insert some
pictures that you guys can see but what
was happening was around my mouth and
chin area I was getting a lot of
consistent breakouts
there was never really a time for about
the period of a year where I didn't have
a breakout on my chin and it's not like
they were terrible or anything so it
could have been a lot worse but it was
something that bothered me and
definitely reduced my confidence a
little bit it also looked pretty gnarly
under makeup whenever I wear makeup
overtop it definitely clung to those
patches and I just did not like the way
it looked so I decided to go to a
dermatologist and see if she could help
me figure out some products that would
work better for me so for the period of
about a year or so I think I was using
this cleanser that is
very very popular in the beauty
community and it's the philosophy purity
made simple cleanser and this is my
third bottle of this stuff so you can
tell I used it religiously I kind of
went and did some research into this
stuff because I thought maybe it could
be this that was bothering my skin and I
went on to the site called Beauty pedia
I believe it's called
and it's basically like a partner site
with Paula's choice and I think it's
dermatologists run don't quote me on
that but from what I can tell it's
dermatologists that review products and
let you know if they're going to be good
for your skin or not so I went onto that
website and I checked out the review for
this guy and it turns out this can be
very very irritating on your skin
because it does have a lot of fragrant
oils in it and because it also has if
you look near the end it's got pepper
fruit oil I ended up not using this in
my skincare any more and I do think that
that made a difference so if you find
that you are having constant breakouts
or red irritated skin and you're using
this maybe try not using it anymore
because I do find that if I forget my
other cleanser somewhere or just don't
have it and I use this one my skin does
get very very red so instead I switch to
this hair right here and this is the
Savi hydrating cleanser I use the
hydrating one because I have dry skin
but they also have a foaming cleanser
for oily skin and I've heard that one is
really great too this is my third bottle
of this and I absolutely love it I would
not buy any other cleanser than this one
because I know this one works for my
skin basically it's just got really
simple ingredients and it's got
ceramides and hyaluronic acid for your
dry skin it says it's non comedogenic
not irritating and non drying and I
totally agree with all of those claims
this works so well for me it's not the
best at removing makeup but I do use a
makeup remover before I go in with this
anyways if I'm taking off my makeup
before I use this I will use the Garnier
micellar water this is just the pink one
for regular makeup it says it's for all
skin types even sensitive and what I
love about this one is that it's
alcohol-free so it's kind of hard to
find a makeup remover especially in
liquid form that's alcohol-free and this
one is just a great very few ingredient
micellar water that works at taking off
makeup wonderfully I just put it onto a
cotton pad
then just wipe it all around my face
it's also very very affordable I think
this retails for $8.00 if you have not
tried these micellar waters I definitely
suggest them they do have one that has a
blue cap for waterproof makeup and I
believe they're coming out with a new
one that has a green cap and it's for
oily skin and this works for all makeup
so it does work for face eyes and lips
and it removes everything I have no
problem taking off liquid lipstick with
this it works awesome the other product
that I go for to remove makeup if I'm
using makeup wipes because this is not
exactly travel friendly when I'm
traveling I use say yes to coconut wipes
these are a drugstore brand and they
have other ones too like say yes to
carrots say yes to cucumbers I think
I've used a cucumber one and that one is
awesome too but these ones are awesome
because they remove your makeup really
well and they are very hydrating on the
skin they also smell so good they smell
like a tropical vacation as far as the
ingredient list goes I think everything
is pretty good it does have fragrance in
it which is not the greatest for your
skin but I don't find it to be
irritating at all and I do generally
cleanse my face after using this so it's
not like this is staying on my skin so
after I've cleansed my skin the next
thing I will go in with is a moisturizer
and like I said I don't use a serum or a
spray or anything like that because I
just don't find that I need it so in the
daytime the next thing I'll go in with
is the Cetaphil daily facial moisturizer
and this is one that has SPF 15 they do
have one that also has SPF 50 but when I
went to see that dermatologist she said
try not to use things that have a super
high SPF on your face because if you do
have sensitive skin the highest PF can
be irritating so if you're just using a
daily moisturizer SPF 15 is probably
okay I know this one works for me you do
definitely want to use a daily
moisturizer that has SPF because your
skin will get damaged by the Sun if
you're not using SPF this one is great
because it's non comedogenic oil free
fragrance free and lightweight the other
thing the dermatologist said is that if
you're using very very heavy creams on
your skin those can break you out
because they are so heavy the other
thing I like about this is the
consistency of it so I'll put a little
bit on my finger but it is very like
creamy so you'll see the other one that
I use is not exactly like this but this
one just
feels creamy on my fingers and that's
why I like it so much it wears very well
under makeup and it makes my dry patches
look pretty good I think this one
retails for around $15 so it's a little
bit up there in terms of drugstore price
but it's still drugstores I mean it's
not going to cost you $40 for a little
tiny container and it does have 120 mils
so it's definitely a pretty good price
for how much you're going to get this
has lasted me probably about a year
which is really good okay so the next
product I use and I do use this one day
and night is the user and replenishing
face cream and this one has five percent
urea which is supposed to hydrate the
skin and make it feel really smooth and
I totally agree with that it makes my
skin feel so soft some of the claims are
that it replenishes dry and very dry
tight facial skin it's suitable for use
after shaving it hydrates and protects
the facial skin it doesn't have parabens
and it's clinically proven efficacy
which basically means that it's
effective at doing what it's intended to
do which I agree with and it's
compatible with all skin types so like I
said I do use this one day and night
however it does not have SPF in it so
I'll only use it during the day if I'm
going to be using something else on my
skin that has SPF for example some of
the foundations that I use have SPF so I
can use this underneath this one retails
for I believe around 12 Canadian dollars
I think I'll have to check on that but I
will list everything down below by the
way everything will be linked down below
and I'll put prices for everything but I
definitely recommend this one if you're
looking for something that's going to
smooth your skin because this one makes
my skin feel as soft as a baby's bum so
definitely recommend this so the next
one I'm going to talk about is another
moisturizer but this one is a night
moisturizer and it is the CeraVe night
facial moisturizing lotion and it looks
like that so this one comes with 89
milliliters so it's definitely a lot
less than the Cetaphil but it is a
really good moisturizing lotion for
nighttime the first thing I thought when
I tried this for the very first time was
that it was not going to moisturize my
skin and it was not going to be enough
because the consistency of it is very
like lightweight and for a nighttime
moisturizer I thought that that was
going to be too lightweight but once you
start using it and once your skin gets
used to it it takes a little while for
your skin to get used to
Sisseton see of this moisturizer at
least it minded but after using it for
probably about a week my skin it started
to love this and this is so gentle on my
skin again it's got very very simple
ingredients and the ingredients list
it's like not super long so this one
does say that it's for normal to oily
skin but what I did notice is that in
these states the CeraVe nighttime facial
moisturizing lotion which is the exact
same as this one it has all the exact
same ingredients i cross-referenced them
to make sure this one in the United
States says that it's for normal to dry
skin so I'm not exactly sure why in
Canada it says normal to oily but it's
the exact same product so this one also
helps replenish your skin's natural
protective moisture barrier and it has
ceramides niacinamide
and hyaluronic acid which are all
hydrating ingredients and are all going
to help your skin's moisture barrier
CeraVe also makes a daytime moisturizer
which is basically looks the exact same
as this it's just got a like lighter
blue and not what I've also tried and is
also really good honestly you guys
everything from the Cetaphil and Sarah B
lines I think is amazing everything that
I've tried has worked really well for my
skin these are just some ones that I'm
using right now so that is it for my
facial moisturizers now the other thing
that I will use and this is the one
product I was going to talk about that's
not necessarily drugstore but it is
pretty affordable is the Sephora mud
mask purifying and mattifying this is
the old packaging now it's like all
white and then I think it's got like
grey this is basically the Sephora dupe
for the glam glow mud mask and I tried
both and honestly this one I think is
better because it doesn't have that
awful like licorice set that the other
one does but it basically looks pretty
much the same mine's been dried out a
little bit because this one is a little
bit old this is so amazing
I believe this one retails for $25 so
that's not terrible if you consider that
some of the L'Oreal drugstore masks are
around like the $20 range so an extra $5
you're going to get an awesome facial
mask so because I do have dry skin I did
not use this all over my face because it
can be pretty drying I use this to spot
treat any pimples or on my nose to just
kind of remove impurities so I don't
really know a whole lot about how this
purifies your skin but it has zinc and
copper
just supposed to be really purifying on
your skin honestly I don't really know
much about that but it works for me it
makes my skin look really nice and
purified like you can see it pulling the
oils out of your skin if you've ever
seen people use the glam glow mask this
is basically the exact same thing just
wait cheaper so if you do not want to
spend the $69 on the glam glow mask
which I don't definitely pick this one
up and let me know what you think so the
last thing I wanted to mention it's not
drugstore and you have to have a
prescription to get it but I did want to
mention it because honestly it has
helped my skin so much
I don't know how healthcare works in
other countries but in Canada this would
be really easy for you to get so that's
why I wanted to mention it but I'm sorry
if you can't get it in other countries
because it's not as easy or accessible
for you but basically what I went to see
that dermatologist she told me that I
should start using a topical antibiotic
on my skin and now I use this every
night and basically if I don't use it it
just makes a huge difference and it's
called clindamycin phosphate and you
just dab it all over your skin before
you put your moisturizer on at night and
it has been so great for my skin and I
recommend it highly highly highly if you
have problems with your skin and you
don't want to try anything that's going
to be like very very harsh if you go see
a doctor and they think this is going to
help your skin I would definitely give
it a try I mean I am NOT a doctor so
take what I say with a grain of salt but
this has worked for my skin and yeah
it's if you have mild acne I think it
should work for you too but if your
doctor doesn't think it's going to work
for you then just completely ignore what
I'm saying so you'll notice in my
skincare that I actually don't use any
exfoliator because it's way too harsh on
my skin it just irritates my skin so
badly it makes it so red so I don't use
a physical exfoliator but what I do use
actually and this was recommended by the
dermatologist is just a cloth so what
I'll do is I will put the cleanser all
over my face and then I will wet just a
part of the cloth and very very gently
just rub it on my skin and that's what
she recommended and it seems to work for
exfoliation so if you've heard otherwise
and you don't think this is good for
your skin this is just what works for me
I can't Ness
they recommend it and tell you what's
going to work for you but yeah this
makes my skin feel soft it exfoliates
nicely without being too harsh so this
is what I use and I mean it's cheap you
don't have to really buy it if you have
cloths at homes all right you guys that
is everything for my skincare routine I
know it's not like a ton of products but
basically this is just the stuff that
works really well for me and I honestly
don't think I need to go and spend a ton
of money on products that I don't really
need my skin has not ever been terrible
or anything like that but I was having
mild consistent acne that did bother me
so after switching to the skincare
routine I think my skin has improved a
lot and I don't have that consistent
acne on my chin I mean obviously I still
get some acne especially around certain
times of the month this has really
helped the irritation on my skin go down
I do not suffer really from red cheeks
like I was before like any time I wash
my face when I was using this guy my
skin would get super red and just
irritated and itchy my skin doesn't get
itchy anymore
unless it's just from dryness but yeah
basically all of these products I would
recommend to you if you'll dry sensitive
skin even most of them if you have oily
skin or non sensitive skin I think these
products are great I like to stick to
the simple skin care routine because it
works for me honestly I don't think I'll
be changing anything out of the skincare
routine any time soon because I love all
of these products so if you guys have
tried these products or you're going to
go try them after my recommendation let
me know how it goes
are you guys so that's pretty much it I
hope you enjoyed this video and if you
did give it a thumbs up make sure you
subscribe before you leave and I'll see
you in my next blogger bye guys
