“The process of [spending time paying attention to skincare] makes me think about who I am, and what I love about myself, and it's a continual reminder that this is still not a world that tells black people, 'Love yourself! You're super beautiful!'”

6 Steps
Night Time Routine

STEP
1
Cleanser
tula skincare the cult classic purifying cleanser
It's a probiotic face wash and it smells amazing—it takes my makeup off, and it's pretty gentle.
STEP
2
Toner
uma ultimate brightening rose toner
Then I tone—I always tone. Years ago I read that Halle Berry said something like, 'Every morning I wash my face, I tone, and I put on moisturizer.' Those three things. So I tone every day. [This] sort of tingles—I like an active-feeling thing—and your skin looks really good after.
STEP

Toner
innisfree pore clearing toner 2x with volcanic clusters
The other one I've been using for the zit outbreak moments, is Innisfree's Pore Cleansing Toner.
STEP
4
Serum
hylamide subq skin
It gets stupid when we get to the serums—I have so many. If I'm dry, I'll use hyaluronic acid. I like The Ordinary Hylamide one.
STEP
5
Exfoliant
goop instant facial
But my favorite thing in the whole world is the Instant Facial—I can't believe it's Goop. This shit is awesome. It does not mess with your skin, it's super active, you do not need to use it often. I use it once every two weeks.
STEP

Moisturizer
dr. dennis gross skincare hyaluronic marine oil-free moisture cushion
Moisturizer I'm pretty simple about. I use Hyaluronic Marine Moisture Cushion from Dennis Gross.
