Hi, it's Kourtney Kardashian.

It's Princess Nokia.

Hi, I'm Liv Tyler.

Hello, I'm Alexa.

I'm Nina Dobrev.

Hey guys, it's Winnie Harlow.

This is Josephine Skriver.

It's Kelsey Merritt.

I'm Caroline Trentini.

[speaking French]

I'm Iris.

It's Irene Kim here.

Hi everyone, I'm Debora Nascimento.

Tracee Ellis Ross here.

It's Halima.

Bonjour, I'm Camille.

Hi, I'm Hoyeon.

[upbeat music]

After a really crazy night,

I wake up with a puffy face.

My face look like

a puffer fish, like. [popping cheeks]

So, usually when I wake up,

I take ice, and I de-puff my skin.

And I specifically go under my eyes,

and on my eyelids, 'cause that's where

I get puffy the most.

And I a quick massage to wake up my skin.

[upbeat music]

I do this every day since I turned 30.

[laughing] I'm 33 now.

Massage and go through the neck also.

And I just slather and lather.

And here comes the beginning of stuff.

I do this until it's in my skin.

Some people spend time putting on makeup.

[laughing] I spent time hydrating my skin.

I like to massage my face.

Don't be afraid to take that extra five minutes

so just sit there,

let all the oils absorb, massage.

When your eyes puffy in the morning,

you can massage here, like this.

You can massage your skin in directions

which firms your face.

It's like those jade rollers

that you can use, but I just use

it with my fingers, so, I go like that.

And then this one, if you go up at the temples,

it makes your face look like.

Ta-dah!

A spoon, guys.

I keep it in the fridge for a couple minutes.

The first part is you go up along the cheekbone.

It just circulates the blood flow

on your face, and really just drains the lymph.

And then, the edge part, what I do

is I take it, and it's like you're scooping

up your jawline.

The decollete.

And just, drain it all out.

Drain out the bad vibes.

I am a big believe in lymphatic drainage.

So, I was taught to go upward,

put it to the side, and down my neck.

When you feel like your face is swollen,

press this point.

This is good for circulation.

If you're Caribbean or Puerto Rican,

you probably know Cafe Bustelo really well.

And I take this into my beauty routine.

So I'm gonna just use a little bit.

The grains in the espresso

are a really great exfoliant for my skin.

And I'm gonna use this special jojoba oil

that I got from Morocco.

You just add a little bit.

And then you add a little water to the mix,

to neutralize the oil, so it's not as harsh.

All this, and I'm gonna distribute

it around my skin.

All the dead skin, all the dry skin,

all the patches, you just wanna

sugar her out.

I even like to do a little bit

on the eyelid, you know,

the eyelids get really dry.

It's a part of the skin that people

never pay any attention to.

Get them eyelids, girl.

Get them eyelids like your life depended on it.

So this is a body scrub.

It's an exfoliator, hydrator,

it moisturizes, it heals.

One cup of gram flour.

Okay, well it should be one cup.

[chuckling]

Then, yogurt.

Not flavored, plain.

Depends on the proportions,

like that much.

Mix it into a paste.

A little bit of lemon.

If your paste is as bad as mine,

which mine is, you add a little milk to it.

That's what that looks like.

Now, magic ingredients.

Some sandalwood powder in there.

My best and most favorite ingredient,

which works for everything, is turmeric.

It gives it love.

It might give you a little bit

of a yellowish hue.

So be careful about how much you put in.

And you put it on, on your entire body.

And just hang out a little bit,

let it dry. [chuckling]

And if you have oily skin,

then maybe use skim milk,

and low fat yogurt, or no fat yogurt.

I think it's almost dry.

So the idea of it is to scrub

it off, like that, you see?

So it literally exfoliates.

And then you shower, and you get rid

of whatever excess is on your hand,

and, do you see a difference?

And this one is Root Science facial mask,

and you mix it yourself.

Ooh, so today I am mixing it with honey.

But you can mix it with water,

you can mix it with anything.

Then I'm using this brush.

[chuckling]

This is very sticky.

And feels a little weird.

But, it's all for a good cause.

I'm gonna make a face mask

for you guys today.

So we are taking a little bit of avocado.

Acai, it's pure, unsweetened acai.

And we squish some strawberries.

Go in there.

Kinda like this.

And then, last ingredient is honey.

You know us Brazilians, we love to have a tan.

After the tan, your skin is tired,

and you wanna have a glow, you know?

But you still wanna keep your tan.

Okay, so you ready for the scary part?

Let's do this.

This is what it looks like.

I use my hands for everything.

For makeup, to apply lipstick, everything.

I mean, as a mom, I guess,

I just like to be hands-on.

Avocado pieces.

It's fine.

So I never really found anything

that did the same as this mask.

And it's so easy to make,

so I'm like, you know, it takes five minutes.

Below the neck.

Okay.

How does that look?

So now I'm gonna go in with a mask.

I'm going to mix together manuka honey,

Aztec clay, and, you guessed it,

apple cider vinegar, with mother in it.

I kind of eyeball it, whenever I mix this mask.

My goal is to create

a paste-like consistency, like this.

So it doesn't drip everywhere,

'cause, [coughing] apple cider vinegar stinks.

[laughing] And I knew that, I don't know

why I did that.

That was not smart.

[upbeat music]

Your skin isn't made for makeup.

But prep the skin, and prepare it for war,

pretty much, is what I like

to think of it as.

[clicking tongue] Let's wait.

So I am going to make my lip scrub.

I am mixing equal parts of honey

and the coconut oil.

I love to do a lip scrub,

especially if I'm going to be wearing

a bright lip or a dark lip,

to make sure that your lips are really soft.

This is the raw sugar.

Organic, of course, everything is organic.

Then I take the scrub.

[upbeat music]

And it tastes yummy.

You can eat it.

I think it's pretty important

to scrub your lips.

This is just Vaseline and sugar.

Which I make myself, it's very easy to make.

All right, so we're gonna do a lip scrub.

As you can tell, my lips are one

of my more prominent features.

You take a little sea salt,

depending on the size of your lips,

[chuckling] you can decide

how much to put.

100% pure vegetable glycerin.

And then a little bit of rosewater,

so it's gentle on your mouth.

[upbeat music]

And scrub, mm mm mm.

[upbeat music]

As one of the last finishing thing,

I love to brush my lips.

There's always a little bit

of a dead skin on them.

And it makes them swell up a little bit,

and be a little bit more pink.

[upbeat music]

And then I use a very unglamorous toothbrush,

[chuckling] and I go back and kind of just brush

it all out.

[upbeat music]

And just brush those guys up.

I spent years growing these back

after some '90s over-plucking.

I also, when I have my makeup done,

if I'm lucky enough to, they have to hand me

the brush, 'cause this is one

of my favorite things to do,

I find it really therapeutic.

It's very relaxing.

If you have an aloe plant,

you can just cut off a piece,

and then I'll show you how to extract the aloe.

It's really great for your scalp,

and if you have dry hair.

And this is my little aloe plant.

It's a little cute one.

You can just get a piece.

You can extract the gel.

I would use the gel and, I would mix it

in my hand, and rub it all over my scalp,

and in the dry parts of my hair.

[speaking French]

Now this is a scalp treatment.

It is usually for, if you have a dry scalp,

if you have dandruff.

So you start with full fat yogurt.

The yogurt helps hydrate the scalp

and cool it down.

[sighing] I'm getting hungry.

[laughing]

A teaspoon of honey.

My secret ingredient.

Ah!

It's an egg.

Apparently, they're really good

for your hair, I know!

Keep it for 30 minutes, and you wash it off

with baby shampoo, or just warm water.

That's what the consistency should look like.

And I'm gonna show you what I do with my hair

to kinda get the beachy look, you know?

I made this myself.

It's warm water, sea salt,

and a tiny bit of coconut oil.

So, you shake shake shake.

[upbeat music]

I just apply on the ends.

And because of the coconut oil,

it's not very good to have too close

to your roots.

And then that's where you want the beachy waves,

like down here.

What I usually do, I divide my hair

like two pieces, and then you turn

it on the outside.

So you kind of have that look that's gonna go

off your face, you know, instead of going in.

[upbeat music]

I put on a hat.

It kind of makes the top close to my head,

and flattens it.

And then, I kinda make a wave here,

and then put it down, comme ca.

And then I twist the back,

put it up in the hat,

because my hair is super flat.

And it gives it a nice little wave.

So it's been a few minutes.

Can take it off.

Okay, so this looks kinda weird. [chuckling]

But it kinda gives it the shape I like.

Okay, are we ready for this?

You just, so you let the hair down.

And then, you're ready to go.

[upbeat music]

Ciao.

[chuckling]

Hope this works for you guys,

'cause it really does work for me.

This has been taught to us by our moms,

and our grandmoms, and these are little secrets

that I wanted to share with you.
