00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 Coffee break with me.
00:03 Woo, hi guys.
00:04 Woo, that wasn't enthusiastic enough.
00:07 Woo, let's do it again.
00:09 Coffee break with me.
00:10 Woo, there we go.
00:12 What's up guys, how are you today?
00:14 A little bit too much for this early in the morning?
00:18 I think so.
00:19 So today I'm here with a very shameful video
00:21 and a confession that I'm going to have to deliver
00:25 for you guys.
00:27 A month, two months, three months ago,
00:31 I think I was still pregnant.
00:32 I did a skincare journey video
00:34 and I said I'm gonna do like a series
00:37 where I feature certain brands of skincare
00:40 and I'm going to slowly redesign my skincare routine
00:45 to cater to the changes that my life has had.
00:49 So I told you guys I have super normal skin,
00:51 no problematic areas, no breakouts, nothing.
00:54 And then I got pregnant and I got wrinkles,
00:57 dry patches, hormonal breakouts, it was awful.
01:01 I still have like some blemishes that just,
01:04 they're never gonna go away basically.
01:06 Maybe if I do like a chemical peel or something.
01:09 No.
01:10 Sex and the City, do you remember Samantha?
01:12 We're not going there.
01:13 And so I did, my first stop on my skincare journey
01:18 was a Hava and I hope I said that right.
01:21 And I tried some Dead Sea Minerals products
01:24 and when I was using the skincare, I really liked it.
01:27 My skin responded well, I really liked it,
01:29 but I was like, okay, I need to move on
01:32 and try another brand and see,
01:34 maybe I'm missing out on something.
01:36 But a product that I couldn't let go of was the eye serum.
01:40 So basically what I decided to do
01:41 is just throw away the idea of the skincare journey
01:45 of different brands.
01:47 I'm just going to update you guys
01:49 whenever there's a change in my skincare, period.
01:52 So what I thought I would do is this video
01:55 is going to be like my summer skincare routine,
01:58 which is super important because you guys know
02:00 that in the summer, not only is it hot,
02:03 but you need sun protection, like legit sun protection.
02:06 Sun protection is something that just needs to be
02:09 a part of your skincare routine.
02:11 It's not something that you start to use when you go out,
02:15 when you're going to go to the zoo or the park or the pool.
02:18 It's something that needs to be part of your daily routine.
02:21 And if you could find a sunscreen that works for you,
02:24 you know, provides some sort of skincare benefits
02:27 besides just sun protection, then roll with it, girlfriend.
02:31 So my updated skincare routine,
02:33 let's go ahead and talk about it.
02:34 I get out of the shower, when I'm in the shower,
02:36 I still use my Purity Made Simple from Philosophy Cleanser
02:41 with my Foreo.
02:42 That's what I use in the shower or in the sink
02:45 or wherever I'm washing my face.
02:46 So that's permanent.
02:48 After that, I get out of the shower
02:50 and I've actually been loving this
02:52 hydrating toner from Murad.
02:54 I like that it's hydrating because
02:55 even though I have normal skin, am I just,
02:58 did I just do that on camera?
03:01 I'm so rude.
03:02 I'm gross, you guys.
03:03 I'm so gross.
03:04 I'm gross.
03:05 (laughs)
03:06 Even though I have normal skin,
03:08 I actually got this as a Sephora perk.
03:11 You know when you buy online, you can add a code
03:13 and you get like a deluxe sample?
03:16 This was one of the products and I started to use it
03:18 just to see, hey, you know, let's see what it does for me.
03:21 It's really cool and I love that it comes with a spritzer
03:24 so you don't need to put it on a cotton pad
03:25 and then rub it on your face.
03:27 It's a lot more hygienic 'cause I get out of the shower
03:29 while my pores are still open and I just spray it.
03:32 I spray it on my face, my neck, and my decollete
03:35 and I've really been liking it.
03:37 It has a really light fragrance.
03:39 I mean, nothing, it doesn't smell artificial.
03:42 So that's what I use after I wash my face.
03:45 After I do that, I go in with a face serum
03:48 and these are really important.
03:49 Face serum, like your concentrated, you know,
03:53 pack of punch of benefits for your skin.
03:56 So this is like the major concentration
03:58 of whatever you're trying to do, anti-aging,
04:02 hydrating, what is it, like even pigmentation,
04:07 like if you have hyperpigmentation or sunspots
04:10 and you're trying to fade them away,
04:12 the serum is the one that's going to fix those problems.
04:16 So you pick a serum based on the approach
04:19 that you want for your skincare.
04:20 And this is the Murad Advanced Active Radiance Serum.
04:24 I do have to warn you, the serum is pretty expensive.
04:27 In general, serums are more expensive
04:29 because they're like the concentrated helpers
04:33 for whatever you're trying to fix, improve,
04:35 or reverse on your skin.
04:37 So serums tend to be more expensive,
04:40 but they're not something that I would recommend skipping
04:42 in your skincare routine.
04:44 So the reason that this one is
04:45 in the environmental shield line,
04:48 I think it has like 50 times the amount
04:50 of vitamin C complex that your skin needs
04:53 to reverse the signs of aging.
04:55 It helps prevent damage from free radicals.
04:59 It improves collagen, like production of collagen
05:03 on your skin, which means it keeps you looking younger
05:05 and more plump, plumper.
05:08 It also has, what else does it have?
05:12 I'm trying to learn about skincare
05:14 because it's something that really interests me,
05:16 but it's something that really overwhelms me
05:18 at the same time.
05:20 So this serum has been treating me really nicely
05:23 and it's not sticky, greasy, or thick.
05:26 It just, it really gets absorbed.
05:28 So I apply it on my forehead.
05:31 I skip this area of my face, on my cheeks, my chin,
05:35 and then down my neck.
05:36 Sometimes if I have any left over,
05:38 I'll apply it to this area.
05:40 After I apply my face serum, I actually use an eye serum.
05:44 And this is a serum that I started using
05:47 when I did my AHAVA skincare journey.
05:50 And this serum is crazy because it looks almost
05:54 like it has little flecks of,
05:57 I don't know, like delicious goodness.
06:02 Not like glitter, not anything shimmery.
06:06 It just, you apply it, it almost feels
06:09 like, you know when you see the inside of a shell
06:14 and it has that sheen to it, that glow?
06:18 That's kind of what it looks like.
06:19 And I just apply this to my under eye area.
06:22 And you guys, I don't know if you agree with me,
06:23 but I think my under eyes are looking pretty fly lately.
06:26 I've been using this for three,
06:29 I don't even know how long, I'll have to check,
06:31 but at least a couple months
06:32 because I was still pregnant when I was using this.
06:34 And I really like it.
06:36 It doesn't reverse panda eyes or anything
06:38 because that's pretty much genetic for most of us.
06:42 But I really, really love that glow it gives.
06:46 It's kind of one of those products
06:47 that assists in the under eye area.
06:51 Using the salmon color concealer
06:53 and setting your eyes properly
06:54 and highlighting the under eye, all of that helps.
06:57 But I feel like the base is the most important.
06:59 So my eye cream is my Holy Girl Eye Cream.
07:01 Just like the Purity Made Simple Philosophy Face Wash
07:04 is my Holy Girl Cleanser,
07:06 the Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue and Protect Eye Balm
07:11 is the best eye cream that you're ever going to use ever.
07:16 Ever, ever, ever.
07:17 I can't stress that enough.
07:18 I have, I'm pretty sure that it's eczema
07:22 on the inner corner of my left eye.
07:25 In this inner corner, if I stop using this for a week,
07:29 I get that eczema, like on my actual eyelid.
07:33 A lot of people said it's like,
07:34 oh, you get the crust from like,
07:36 you know, your eye lubrication.
07:40 But no, it's the actual eyelid, the skin.
07:42 I get like lizard skin.
07:44 And I battled with it for so long.
07:47 And I tried so many eye creams that would make my eyes burn
07:51 or eye creams that weren't ophthalmologist tested
07:54 and you could only apply to this area.
07:57 I needed an eye cream that I could apply
07:59 all over my eye area, including the eyelid,
08:02 that wouldn't make my eyelids burn
08:04 and that would take away that dryness of the inner corner.
08:08 This is the only product that I've ever tried
08:10 that doesn't burn, that I could put all over my eye
08:14 because most eye creams are just designed
08:16 for this area here.
08:18 This is a, this is a, this is,
08:21 this is an eye cream that I can apply all over.
08:23 It helps heal that like eczema corner,
08:26 eyelid corner that I have.
08:27 It's so comfortable and it's not sticky.
08:30 A lot of eye creams are so emollient
08:33 that when you apply like your eye shadow
08:35 or things like that, it feels almost heavy
08:38 or you could even get creasing because it's so emollient.
08:41 That one, I will buy you forever.
08:46 I promise you.
08:47 And of course, sunscreen.
08:50 This sunscreen that I've been using
08:52 also suffices as my moisturizer.
08:56 And this goes hand in hand with this little guy.
08:58 This is the Murad Essential C Day Moisture.
09:01 It's only SPF 30.
09:05 I like to do like a 45 and up when it comes to my face,
09:09 but I haven't been like out in direct sun at all really
09:14 because I have two small kids and life isn't that fun.
09:18 But, did I just say that?
09:20 But you know, we haven't been out like doing out
09:23 anything crazy, the pool or splash pads
09:25 or anything like that at the moment.
09:26 So, this is something that I've been using every day.
09:30 So when I'm in the car and the sun is hitting me
09:32 in the window or even the other side of the window
09:34 if my husband's driving, I have some sort of protection.
09:37 It's not greasy or heavy, but it is a white sunscreen,
09:42 like a really thick, creamy, white sunscreen.
09:44 Even though it's not heavy, oily, or greasy,
09:47 it will give you flashbacks.
09:49 So that's something to consider,
09:50 but I really, really like it.
09:51 Because it's part of the environmental shield line,
09:54 it also has the benefits that this serum has
09:57 where it helps protect against free radicals,
10:00 reverse the signs of aging, along with sun protection.
10:03 So I really like that.
10:04 I will have all of these products listed
10:06 and linked in the description box below.
10:08 So, so far, that's where my skincare journey has taken me.
10:12 After I had my sun, my skin went directly right back
10:16 to where it was before I got pregnant.
10:19 So I don't have any breakouts, I don't have dryness,
10:21 I have completely normal skin.
10:23 Knock on wood that it stays like that,
10:25 because I didn't know what to do with myself
10:28 when I was experiencing dry skin.
10:29 I don't know how you guys do it, it's so hard.
10:32 It's hard because you have to like,
10:34 can I use that powder, can I use that foundation,
10:36 do I have to use my sponge or a brush?
10:38 Because, you know, it's so hard to function with dry skin,
10:42 you have to really put thought
10:44 into the products that you use.
10:46 So, I mean, props to you guys if you have dry skin,
10:50 you're awesome.
10:51 I'm really relieved and I'm really happy
10:53 and I feel so blessed that my skin went back
10:56 to the way it was before I got pregnant,
10:58 because I don't know what I would be doing
11:00 with myself, you guys.
11:01 Anyway, so that's my summer skincare routine,
11:03 that's kind of where we're at at the moment.
11:05 These are the products that I've been loving
11:06 and I've been using for a couple months
11:07 and I'm really happy with them.
11:09 So what I'm probably going to do is,
11:11 once I notice that a product is getting a little heavy,
11:14 maybe a little expensive, or then like this toner runs out,
11:18 maybe I'll try something else.
11:20 And if I decide that I'm going to switch up my skincare,
11:24 I'll jump on here again and I'll do an additional
11:27 updated skincare routine.
11:28 But so far, that's what I've been using.
11:30 So if you've been wondering,
11:31 "Yo, Dani, what's underneath all that makeup?"
11:33 This is what it is.
11:35 Anyway, I really hope you guys enjoyed this video.
11:37 Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

11:41 entertaining, or worth something,
