skincare | dark spot, resetting ,facial device

Huge breakout. Oh my god. This was the first therapy session where I actually cried. Okay

I guess I'm supposed to just like hold it on the area. Yeah, this does not look good. It is 7.05 and I'm going to do my morning skincare routine. Here's

how my skin's looking like. I actually recently got a huge breakout right between my eyebrows here

This is old. This has been here, but I really need to fade these dark spots. I just like, it takes time, man

But I actually got this recently. This is a water filter for your skin

If you live in a place that has like hard water or water that's like kind of sus

this is basically like a filter that allows you to use like the purest clean water for your face

So the regular water is coming out here, and then if you switch this, this is the filtered water

And not gonna lie, this was like kind of tricky to install. It comes with like all these different tools and attachments

But this is just so that you can find like an attachment that's gonna fit your faucet

This is like the old one. Pulling this out of my sink was absolutely disgusting

Like the amount of black stuff that came out, I was appalled. I don't know if it was mold or what it was, but it was nasty

This filter is supposed to like help with skin texture, clear up acne

Basically like anything that is causing your skin to like break out

It's going to like filter out all those minerals and bacteria I guess so that you're just using the cleanest water on your face. So I'm gonna start with my soy paste cleanser

Next is my trusty toner my baby I've had this longer than some friendships which is saying a lot

And even though I've only used this filter like technically twice on my face so far

I do notice that it has made my skin really really soft, which is crazy. It's called filter baby and hence the name

It's giving me like baby soft skin. Um, this is not sponsored

But if you want to check them out, I'll put a link to my shop my in the description now for serum

I have been using this a dark spot correcting glow serum. This has um

5% niacinamide in it, but i've been really wanting to switch back to using a vitamin c serum. This is 20

Which is like pretty strong So i'm only gonna use like a couple drops and pat it on my skin

And this is really gonna help fade some of my stubborn acne marks

I took a little break from gua shawing There's something about like physically like sculpting my face that just feels really good

And actually another product i've been loving is this red blemish cream by dr. G

I'll put all of the current products that i'm using in the description for you to check out

But again, not sponsored. This is really good for like acne prone skin or sensitive skin oily skin

Basically all skin types because it has a super gel like consistency

I don't know if you could see that but it's super lightweight and it doesn't feel like it's sitting heavy on my skin and clogging my pores

Alright, I gotta eat my breakfast really fast because I gotta go to work

But if you guys don know what my other job is because I don think I really talk about it on here I actually an aesthetics instructor which ties in perfectly to my videos on my channel which is like skincare routines and stuff

So it's really cool because I actually teach, you know, about the skin, about like the skin's anatomy

you know, why acne occurs. It's really cool that I get to connect

what I'm doing in my career to what I'm talking about on YouTube. But yeah, I'm gonna finish my breakfast

and then I am off to work. Thank you

Thank you

You guys are gonna think I'm crazy, but I have another skincare device that just came in the mail

I promise I don't have a shopping addiction, but I mean companies just send me stuff to try

so let this be a sign to start creating some content so you can get gifted some awesome

skincare stuff but this one i'm really excited about so i think actually yeah it was in my other

skincare diaries that i was using the current body red light therapy mask um which i absolutely

love by the way but they actually wanted to send me another cute little device that is also using

LED light therapy as well. So this is an anti-acne LED pen. So this is different than a mask because

it's like more precise in that it'll target like specific places that you have blemishes

And this is absolutely perfect for me because I have so many dark spots from old acne that I need

to fade ASAP. Oh my gosh it's so cute. This looks like a little like toy or something and it comes

with this cute little pouch for travel. I have never seen something like this before. This honestly

looks like a salt shaker. So as you can see here, this device has been clinically proven to treat

mild to severe acne. Basically the science behind this is that it uses red and blue light to

penetrate into the epidermis and the dermis of the skin to stimulate collagen, eliminate any

harmful bacteria that may be affecting your skin basically help with anti Actually let see how it works Oh my god I don know why that scared me Do I just like put it on my face Oh wow Oh

it's vibrating a little bit, but I don't know how long I'm supposed to keep it on the area

The device shuts off abruptly prior to completion of a three-minute treatment, okay? Okay, I guess

I'm supposed to just like hold it on the area for three minutes. I'm just gonna hold this on my

face and see if it does anything. Hold on, I just want to see if it's working. Okay, it's only been

like 30 seconds, so probably need more time. Okay, I think it's been three minutes. I don't know if

it's placebo, but I think I noticed a difference. Let me try it up here. I guess the only downside

to this is that you do have to like hold this in place while it's working rather than just the mask

where you could just like leave it on but I will say that this is very convenient for if you have

just like super tiny dark spots that you want to fade quickly oh okay again I don't know if I'm just

imagining things but I honestly think I see a difference like just after one use like these

dark spots look a little bit less pigmented okay moving on to the rest of my at nighttime skincare

carotene toner, obviously. And then I'm going to use my vitamin C serum. And of course my moisturizer

and last but not least lash serum. If you have short baby lashes like I do, this is a necessity

I will say though that for most lash serums, you have to continue to use them or else if you don't

your lashes will just like fall out. So yeah, I'm kind of a slave to using lash serum, but

I think it's worth it. But yeah, skin is fresh and I'm all ready for bed. Good night

I think I would consider myself a late bloomer when it came to makeup, skincare, beauty in general

But then I started to actually have breakouts, which is weird because like I have never had bad skin before

So I was totally confused and stressed about why I was experiencing these breakouts

And I wish somebody had told me like the right products to use or what actually to do

So that is when I actually took matters into my own hands and I actually started doing the research myself

Um, now i'm at the point where i'm teaching aesthetics i'm teaching about skincare and I absolutely love it

And I love giving people that confidence in their skin and helping them feel better about what products they're actually using

And the right facts to achieve healthy beautiful skin And recently I created my own online course and community for other people to join and basically just talk about skincare

and give each other like recommendations and support as well as learn like the basics and

essential things needed to have amazing beautiful skin. So here is my community on school but

basically all this information here is exactly what I learned when I was like doing all this

research and in my course in community I actually break down for you like the essential things that

you need to know about your skin like the layers of the skin, sweat and oil glands, um why acne

occurs because I feel like these are all things that I wanted to know There also the community portion where I basically get to like share all the things that I learning that I find out about Products that I recommend as well as just like it a way for us to connect

So if you are interested in checking out the community, there's a link in the description

Now I gotta get on with the rest of my morning. I am teaching a class today

So I have to get ready for that I tried to make a vegan cheese quesadilla this morning but it was kind of a fail

yeah this does not look good alrighty, shall we get started? yes

okay how is everybody doing today? hi michelle, how are you

i was just at work but the past two days have been like unreal

I feel like I'm transported back to summer. Well, I think this was the first therapy session where I actually cried

I always like think like I'm not a crier, but as I've gotten older, the more I actually

like start to cry. But yeah, today was like kind of hard

We talked about some just like life things and like getting older

What I've realized about myself is like, I feel things very, very deeply

And like, I feel things very intensely in the moment. But I know that like, I always get over stuff

It's just like for big life changes or events that happen where it's like, it shakes your world

I think what's scary is the unknown and not knowing what life is going to be like after

it happens or how you're going to deal with it. And just being scared. I'm scared about a lot of things, especially change

I hate change. I wish that everybody could just stay the same way forever and it'll be fine

But that's not the way that the world works. Damn, but I was not expecting to cry

So I guess a way to make myself feel better is to open a package

I swear to you guys, I don't have a shopping addiction. Or maybe I do and I'm just in denial

But I saw a creator talk about this water bottle and I'm like that is the cutest water bottle

I've ever seen and I need it immediately. So I bought it without any question

This is by the brand Ello. It's very similar to my O'Walla water bottle

And similar to the O'Walla one, it has a sippy part. So you can sip it like a straw

Or if you want, you could, I guess, chug
