A lot of you might have watched our previous video where I said I was not going to use vitamin C for 2024 it’s just always given me a hard time in that I always get some sort of dermatitis where it’s like this mild rash from the acidity and a lot of you surprisingly
Also shared the same feeling so I thought okay I’m going to share with you guys today my brightening routine without using vitamin C and let me tell you it is doing wonders also guys if you want brighten skin it really does start at the gut as well because the gut will
Determine how clear our skin is and if it looks clear and even then your skin will naturally look brighter and clearer so this is red Korean ginzing like the best of the best so if it’s good for my health Beauty from within starting with with my de puffing
Tip so sometimes I wake up and my eyes are puffy my face is Puffy my nose looks like it’s a marshmallow and that’s just the way it is because during our sleep we get fluid retention so some people might look a little bit puffier than others but we all generally have this
Kind of like bloated effect so here are my three tips first of all you can start off with a cooling ey patch and what I mean by cooling is that you can just put your eye patches in the fridge and that will kind of help the eye area kind of
Start to settle down the second thing you can do is just use a teaspoon and press it onto the under eye area gently and that cooling effect once again from the metal will help to constrict the blood vessels and just like help this area calm down those are for the eyes
And then for the face I highly recommend a face roller before we get started and this will just move the fluid the blood through the face and down kind of the lymph nodes which will help with slimming down the face in the morning you can just do this for like a minute
And it like actually kind of hurts sometimes especially if the muscles are really tight or I’m extra bloated but then afterwards oh my God I feel like my face can actually move it’s insane you guys have to try this also other things to keep in mind is your face will be
Extra bloated if you eat high sodium meal if you know that’s something that you do you can just try to reduce some of that sodium in your meals and then you might look a little bit Slimmer when you wake up now let’s move on to Kong I still have been bringing and
Using this Peach and Lily glass skin face polisher religiously especially with my travels I brought it to Paris with me I’ve brought it basically everywhere and it’s still going strong there’s a lot of it so specifically with brightening there are fruit enzymes in here so there’s papaya little bit of BHA
And there’s rice exfoliant so what you do is add a little bit of water water and then you emulsify it and it becomes these really fine micro Bubbles and then you just work it into the face and I feel like this cleanser just gives me the perfect daily exfoliation where it
Just kind of melts and dissolves away the dead skin that could be causing dullness as opposed to brightness so it is very Good second step is toner you guys know that toner is an essential in my skincare routine so I want to mention the two that I brought and I’ve been using I love it so much this is the glow recipe cloudberry bright Essence toner it’s actually very watery and guys it
Smells Divine it is so oh my God why so the star ingredient of this is the cloud Berry and cloudberry is this really unique little like kumquat looking Tangerine but it’s like miniature and it’s naturally got vitamin C and vitamin e in it with some other great and
Brightening vitamins but what they also formulated this with which I love so much is that it’s got rice water as well as glycerin and oats and collagen guys what more could you ask for you press it in and it just melts and dissolves into your skin leaving it supple it’s like so
Hydrated so I’ve been loving this and I feel like it’s honestly helped my skin stay brightened in this harsh Australian Sun now I also want to mention fermentation so this is the sk2 facial treatment Essence it’s an oldi it’s an OG this is actually the first high-end
Product that I ever used in my life cuz my mom gifted to to me like 10 years ago back when I first used this I really didn’t know what it was doing and so I stopped using it because at the time I was really trying to treat my acne and
So this couldn’t really like do its thing to refine the skin cuz I was battling something major in a different area of my skin but now that I just purely want to focus on brightening I feel like this is actually so great at refining the skin when you see
Fermentation in any skincare product you know that it’s going to be super beneficial for Your Skin Barrier but also lightening effects and evening effects and like it just magically creates this soft focus Veil over your skin and how it works is that in the fermentation process so SK 2’s
Fermentation is known as Peta so that’s what they’re known for but any sort of fermentation basically breaks down the ingredient into smaller particles and in that process it creates additional ingredients so there’s postbiotic ingredients that are being made like lactic acid and all of these actually help to dissolve that dead skin once
Again that’s keeping our skin looking dull rather than bright so then these extra byproducts that are created not only help with what it was marketed for but it’s anti-inflammatory so it helps with acne it helps gentle exfoliation but nothing too crazy so you don’t even need to look for an
Exfoliation and so I just feel like I have been loading up on these two hydrating products that my skin I am so SA Saied with it these days because of that and I just want to mention also at night I do use this guy VT rle shot so I
Just did a whole video about this if you’re curious I brought the 100 with me to Australia this is the first thing that I use at night after I wash my face and then I go in with everything else and this oh my God the VT go watch that
Video right now gamechanging I feel like this is actually what set my skin at a good foundation before I came over okay so now what serum have I been using during the day it’s the super egg vitamin Collective and then at night I use the quarterly respiratorial lift so
There’s a relationship between vitamins and our skin for brightening effects because our skin is very smart it basically activates when it knows that it’s either been damaged from the sun and it creates something called melanin and melanin is you know the pigment that gives our skin the color that it has but
Melanin is also freckling sun damage melasma and that’s when the melanin goes into overdrive and it can be triggered by things like the sun or dehydration so in terms of when we’re talking about brightening that’s what we don’t want we don’t want our skin to overproduce melanin otherwise we won’t have this
Like Fair even skin right so what you want to counteract that with is feed it with vitamins when you feed it with like Vitamin K Vitamin C vitamin E you’re basically signaling to your skin you’re good I’m helping you like we’re okay you don’t have to protect yourself and so it
Won’t produce overabundance of melanin which will then keep our skin nice so if you have freckling if you have anything like that load up on these antioxidants because the antioxidants are vitamins and they will protect you so much so that you don’t even have to use anything
Else so in your serum step you can look for alternative brightening ingredients Alpha abutin so good ferulic acid so good they’re usually formulated with vitamin C but you don’t have to have it just alone you can get Alpha abutin from the ordinary or even the minimalist they
Have great Alpha abutin serums my second favorite ingredient if you ever see it for brightening is licorice extract if you see anything with licorice extract it’s almost anti-inflammatory and subtly brightening together it’s so good I love Licorice and normally that has a little bit of n cinnamide in it which will help
You kind of subtly even your skin it’s not going to be overly brightening but it will even it another great ingredient is gluton and specifically the numbers in one the five plus very nice so those are my favorite alternatives for brightening ingredients moisturizer I keep it pretty simple by this time one
Is the a Jericho Rose cream I don’t know why I just love this consistency it’s like thick for a summer I would say because it’s not a gel but it’s like this year round moisturizer that I just love so much and it just gives my skin
What it needs in terms of a moisturizer highly recommend you try this and then I also brought with me the Coca kind retinol gel that I talked about in the video with r I finally started using it I’ve been using it every night since I popped it open and it has been
Phenomenal oh my God Coco kind chef’s kiss it’s got a tri retinoid complex so what that means is that it’s got granactive retinoid as well as retinal and also retinol so it’s got the three variations of vitamin A so I already knew that I loved granactive retinoid because the ordinary has the
Grand active retinoid serum solution that I recommended to ro to use and she also loved it so I knew I love that retinol I know I can handle very easily and because the complex of this is only 0.1% of all three combination I knew it was going to be very gentle and it
Actually says here that it is a beginnner retinol gel in the 2024 like skin goals it was that video that I said I was going to start religiously using my retinols a little bit more because it can help with brightening your skin evening your skin it helps with acne to
Reduce the sebum secretion so that your pores don’t get blocked so it can control the oil so it’s basically doing everything but the thing is I only use this at night you can use retinols during the day but you know you don’t want to photo size your skin if you’re
Going out in the sun so I’m just really cautious of sun especially because I’m here in Australia but you can see I use the abib and it just gives the most beautiful Supple finish oh my goodness it’s affordable and I love it especially if you’re back in New York or you guys
Are in the northern hemisphere that’s currently going through a dry dehydrated winter love let’s zoom up do you see this so good and guys it’s like 35° right now and I’m sweating as I’m filming this but it still looks so nice so is there any brightening tips for
Moisturizer like not really just find a moisturizer that you enjoy the texture of and the formula because all the kind of brightening effects would have been done from the cleansing up to the serum steps of your routine then the best step of all for anti-aging keeping your skin
Bright and even is sunscreen and I only brought this one because clearly it’s my favorite talked about it in the best of 2023 it’s the numbers in pure waterful calming water sunscreen so this was like a no-brainer in my mind that I had to bring because of the heat here but I was
Also using this in New York in the winter because it’s like delicate veil of sunscreen and it also is perfect because it has this really subtle cooling effect on the face it is a chemical sunscreen but it doesn’t sting my eye you can like layer this on and
It’s not going to be oily or greasy I actually prefer this way more than the beauty of Jon the rice and probiotic sunscreen only because the texture is just a silky gel and it just instantly is one with your skin it’s like so I would say for my
Combination oily skin that the beauty of Joan one is better for like winter months this one is just an allrounder good for summer good for fall transitional months and great for winter remember down the neck and my ears so for lips we mustn’t forget actually
Don’t have a lip balm that has SPF in it but I did bring this guy with me this is the good light Taste of space lip milk and if you look at it you’ll understand the names it actually is this like galactical white color but then it just dissolves into your
Lip boom it’s not like overly conditioning and I don’t think people with like super dry lips are necessarily going to like enjoy the nourishment of this because it is more on the lower end of nourishment but the effect that it gives me is that it’s like you have
Nothing on your lips but they’re just perfectly nourished and then the white goes away and it tastes there’s like raspberry extract or something in it so I’ve been enjoying this in general if you have dry lips I’m still a stickler for this guy this is the tuobo vit glaze
Lip mask brought it with me because I had to on the plane it was literally a LIF saer so that’s that one there so that guys is my routine for brightening while here in Australia but really everywhere o underarm brightening this actually has a little bit of BJ I think
This is the necessar deodorant gel so if you have dark underarms we’re talking about lightning and brightening everywhere right and I’ve been enjoying this one but I do layer it with a antip Sprint because as you guys know I sweat well you might not know but I do sweat a
Lot let me end this video outside in the garden cuz me and my dad have been tracking the growth of watermelon ready to show us your watermelon the jungle of watermelon okay where’s the biggest one girl nearly ready wait where you have to W ow wow the leaves are actually spiky I didn’t
Know Creek W yeah the day they grow so good see another one oh my see that’s the second biggest one here oh my God we will be feasting watermelon and what did you think they were and this one too this before you realize it was watermelon what was it pumpin pumpkin Leaf protect the scalp More
