Hi, Vogue. Hello!

Hi, guys. Hey, Vogue.

Hi, everyone! Hey, what's up, Vogue?

Hi, Vogue, this is Gio.

What's up, y'all?

It's your girl Teyana Taylor.

I'm Jen, Jennifer Garner.

I'm Mimi Keene.

It's Lola Tung.

It's Gulet Za.

I'm Eva Longoria.

It's Julianne Moore. My name is Sailor Mitchell.

I'm Bree Larsson.

It's Amelia Gray.

It's Usher.

And this is my-

And I'm gonna take you through-

Going to walk you through-

Walk you through my skincare routine.

My very extensive skincare routine.

My daily beauty-slash-skincare routine.

My daily skin routine.

I just wanted to come update you on my new routine

and also share all my secrets with you.

[soft music continues]

Firstly, always set the tone,

have a candle of some sort with me.

I love scented candles.

They're everywhere, all over the house.

This is Gardenia.

I'm gonna go with this cleansing balm.

I love this Biologic.

I use a little bit of African black soap.

I'm a double cleanse kind of girl

'cause I don't really get it all off in one go.

So I have two cleansers.

Cleansing.

This is the Sarah Chapman Ultimate Cleanse.

Cetaphil.

I use the Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser.

TikTok has like definitely put me on when it comes to this.

[speaking foreign language]

So I literally dump my face in ice.

Here goes.

And then I come up

and then go back inside.

Ah, okay.

Next step: steamer.

It opens up them pores

and then it also allows the product

to actually get in and do its work.

Turn it onto the red for hot.

It's fabulous.

I'm gonna be glowing after this.

And I never wear a robe while I do this,

but I just thought it'd be weird if I was stood here naked,

Starting with this Good Molecules,

Niacinamide Brightening Toner.

Toner from Laneige.

Just a few drops.

I try not to pull too much

because I hear that it gives you wrinkles at an early age.

A really good piece of skincare advice I've gotten from

my mom is not to do too much makeup and too much skincare.

My mom also has freckles

and I think that that's helped me feel super

confident in my own skin.

I'm also gonna use these Shiseido eye patches.

Which way are they supposed to go, world?

Because I do them this way

but I have to be wrong.

Eye masks.

First thing that we always do.

Just to give the eyes a little plump.

See, look at all these facialist words I'm using.

I wear them in the car sometimes, on flights.

I always wear these.

These are the Hyaluronic Cloud Patches.

These work. Not all of them work.

These work.

We're gonna use an eye mask.

Why? 'Cause I'm hungover.

These are really cool 'cause they're like Golden.

Peter Thomas Roth eye mask.

So they've been on for like a good four hours now.

So I'm gonna take these off.

Everyone talks about how important eye cream is.

So I go under, I even go on top of my eye.

I don't know if people do that but I do.

I love this eye cream.

This is the Keihl's.

It's called creamy eye treatment with avocado.

As far as I'm concerned, this is just pure avocado.

I had this amazing eye cream from Hourglass.

It soaks right into your skin,

so I use this in the daytime

and especially at night.

I use a lot of it.

Next I'm going to use REM Beauty Undereye Cooling Balm.

This is one of my favorite products we have.

This has like my favorite texture in the world.

It's super cool and plumping.

So it fills out any little fine lines

and creates like such a smooth base for your makeup

Serum.

Love a serum. If I don't have moisturizer,

I still feel really good putting some of this

intense hydrating booster from Sarah Chapman.

Next I use the Westman Atelier when I get those dry spots

and it's hard for makeup to sit on top of it,

this just saves the day.

This is called Elastine,

and you put this wherever you have fine lines

'cause it encourages collagen growth,

Bio cell oxygen serum

Purple and prosper, calm complexion serum.

Growing up, I don't remember any black-owned skin products

around our household.

And I feel like now it's more available,

it's out there.

It's skin products that actually understand what's going on.

We're gonna use Givenchy vitamin blend, glow serum.

Some people use just one pump.

I'm extra. I always put two.

[speaking foreign language]

I use these Nurse Jamie Globes.

I go like this.

Oh it feels so nice!

So I got these from 111Skin.

I put them in the fridge every morning.

I use it to help with drainage,

like the fatty drainage and like de-puffy.

The big silver balls.

I always have mine in the freezer.

When I'm in a hotel I get a bucket of ice

and roll 'em around a little bit.

Once they get working they can just take some

of that swelling out your face.

Out of all the things that I use,

I see the most effect of these.

I think with men we're always, we're getting better at it,

but everyone's like always, kind of,

against the skincare thing for some reason.

I don't really know why.

It's like is do we give up some of our masculinity?

If we admit to using moisturizer?

We need our skin too, lads.

I use my Faceify machine to de-puff my skin.

So I like to like get in here

to kind of contour my cheekbones.

You wanna go towards your lymphatic glands

to get all this like liquid and water

and puffing outta your face.

Get out!

I love taking care of my skin.

I like the way it feels.

I feel like I'm pampering myself every day in my bathroom.

I also go underneath my eyes with this, which is great,

because if you're feeling puffy kind of moves the fluid

around and it feels really good.

And this is something that I like

to do when I'm in the makeup chair

before I'm working in the morning.

So maybe while somebody's putting my wig on

or doing my hair, I'll do this.

Therabody for my face and I use the red light.

Red light is really good for like the rejuvenation

of your cells and fine lines.

'Cause this is not 22 anymore.

I put this on and then I put a 10 minute meditation

or manifestation.

This is my favorite sunscreen.

Shout out to black girl sunscreen.

So I would go in with sunscreen.

Very important.

I like to go in with a smiley face.

You always have to do sunscreen.

It doesn't matter, I'm sorry,

but you must.

You gotta layer that SPF on.

Nothing looks better in your fifties

than sunscreen in your twenties, ladies.

You heard it here first.

A lot of us in the black community

have not been thinking about,

or it's just not been marketed for us.

We thought that we didn't need sunscreen

and then yet here we are with elevated skin cancer rates.

So remember to put on your sunscreen.

[speaking foreign language]

I love the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen,

Some SPF.

Growing up in Florida, I spent a lot of time in the sun.

I think that's probably where some of my discoloration

and my freckles and everything comes from.

Moisturizer.

I'm really excited for the reveal of this.

It's blue, people!

This is pretty heavy,

hence why, I think, it's in such a small jar,

'cause you don't need very much.

I'm gonna do like two pumps of my moisturizer.

Dr. Sturm, for darker skin tones.

Even when I tried to approach doing a skincare routine

in my twenties,

like, I didn't see specific products for black people.

This immediately appealed to me.

There's Cauldalie product that I really do like.

It is a beauty elixir.

I'm gonna go on with my mist.

[bottle pump squeaking]

You need to act right.

Don't show up in front of company.

A big lip balb guy.

Using this one at the moment.

This is also Fenty Skin.

It's the Plush Puddin'.

This is the Hydro Beauty Chanel.

Road.

This one is the salted caramel.

Lip balm.

And this is Carmex, and, to be honest,

it's like the only thing that really works for me

My lip scrub, of course.

Ilia lip balm.

It has this like cooling effect.

LaMere lip balm is very, very, very, very precious.

So don't use a lot of it,

but I take like a little, like,

just a little bit on my thumb there.

Now this is a Jack Black lip balm.

This is an intense therapy for your lips.

It's really, really good.

I use this throughout the day.

I keep it on me.

Nobody likes dry lips, right?

[soft music continues]

So this is the final look.

Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Thank you for watching and I'll see you soon.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you for being with me today.

This was a lot of fun.

Thank y'all.

And I'm just sending everyone so much love.

Thank you for watching.

Have a beautiful day.

Bye. Thank you.

This is President Barbie signing out.

I'll see you guys soon.

Thanks everyone, and, also, you're welcome.
