- Hi, I'm Retta. And this is my nighttime routine. (soft music) First up, so, after a long day of working I'm usually wearing way more makeup than even this. So I tend to use Comodynes Make-up Remover. They change the formula often. So you kind of have to search for what you like. But I tend to have good skin, so I just use their sensitive skin formula. That works for me, but they have a bunch. The reason why I enjoy the wipes is because I'm lazy and I don't like to wash my face. The wipes do a good enough job of getting my makeup off. The thing is I'm often wearing lashes, as I am right now. So I generally start by gently wiping until it comes off. I was gonna say, I have never fallen asleep with makeup on. But I do, when I was younger I did like a cocktail, so I have fallen, whoa, wow. I look like I'm in a horror movie. But I make a point of not falling asleep with makeup on. And this is very helpful because it's easy. Usually when I work, I've worked a long, long day. And sometimes I'm so tired I don't have time to take a shower. I just wanna get in bed and I'll shower in the morning. The wipes are really helpful in quickening the makeup removal process. I have white bedsheets, so that's another reason why I choose not to fall asleep with makeup on, because you wake up with your face print on the pillow. And at work, my makeup artist tends to put a lot of eye liner on me. The wipes don't get the eyeliner completely. And that brings me to my second product. Now, my second product is Lancome's, and I think it's pronounced Bi-Facil, which is their Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover. (makeup remover sloshing) And you have to mix the oil and whatever the other solution is. I don't know what's in this. To get a good mix. I will say, if I'm really, really tired and I'm trying to go really, really fast I'll use Almay, you can't really see it, Almay's Eye Makeup Remover Pads. I'll use this to take off the eye makeup if I'm going really, really fast. But, as I have time, I have scheduled this makeup removal. You just put it on a cotton pad. I can't say that I've necessarily learned skincare from anyone specifically because I've always had really good skin. This whole skincare thing is new for me. But I have, between makeup artists, and being in Hollywood, and getting product in gift bags. I have learned what I like, the kinds of things that I like. I'm a serum girl. Because I do have good skin I tend to not need a whole lot of things. But I love the feel of a serum. I love that a serum kind of just disappears into my skin and just makes me feel fresh. And so serums are my favorite. Okay. So then my next item, this item I was introduced when I did the pilot of "Good Girls" in Atlanta. And it's called Erno Laszlo's Hydraphel. It's a skin supplement. And they call it lotion. That's what the, it says lotion hydratante. But I think that's French. I think it's supposed to be lotion hydratante 'cause it ends in an E. I don't know. But it's like a, look at it, it almost looks like water. It's not. It's got good stuff in there. So I put a little bit on. Because it is so like, I was gonna say wet, yeah. Because it is so moveable I don't use too much 'cause it'll spill everywhere. And I put it on, it feels nice. I'm gonna do a little bit more. It feels like silk on my skin. And I tend to do my neck, especially because my makeup artist on the show now likes to get my neck. So I'm always taking the makeup off of there. And it's already (Retta slurps) in. Look at that, my skin already looks better. I like me some Ernie. Erno, but I call him Ernie. So the next two products that I use are from the same company - [Woman] Motion detected at the front door. (Retta laughs) - So the next two items that I like are from BalmLabs. It is a Clear Balm Serum Hydrator and the Clear Balm Power Elixir. I use the Serum Hydrator first. This is a brand new thing, so I've gotta prime it. Here it goes. I use about that much. It's super, super light. So again, it absorbs really fast into my skin. This feels a little more like a lotion. But again, it's so light that it doesn't feel like you're wearing, you have so much stuff on your skin. When I go to work and we go to do my makeup I put these two items on before she even starts. Because by the time she finishes doing my brows or whatever it is seeped into my skin. And then I use the Power Elixir, which is a clear solution. I shouldn't say clear, it's cloudy, but it's not as opaque as the previous. This movement makes me think I'm a blogger. This kind of seals in the first product. That's not how they told me to use it, I just use it the way I want to. I don't know if I'm using the right one first or not. But this is what I do and what feels good. Having moved to Hollywood (Retta laughs) everything is about looking young and all of that. And I will, I'm too scared to get my face cut. So I feel like protecting my face as much as I can is important. And I like the way my face looks on camera because I tend, I have good skin. I never really cared so much about a specific routine until I was on camera and appearing on television. So my routine has changed, one, having moved to Hollywood and started a career on television, one. Two, once I got introduced to serums specifically I did love the suppleness of my skin. I did love the feel of how it was. So I will use different serums all the time. I love a serum, I'll try them all. I try to stay away from the ones that are kind of like siliconey, because it just feels too slippery on my face. And I feel like it just sits. I love a serum. It makes me feel good. So my next product was made by the head of the makeup department on our show, Julie Hewett. And a lot of people can't use oil on their skin, it's Camellia oil, but I can, my skin absorbs everything. I don't tend to be too oily. But I particularly like to use it at night. I won't use it in the day when I have a full day. I just use three drops. And I add that, and especially my neck. I want my neck to stay young. Is that weird? You know, Mommy's aging. Other things that I do for my skin, I try to drink more water. I'm not very good at it. I do try to drink my water. But I do get facials every once in a while. And honestly, it's only because I love how it feels, like I love laying in there, and then they're just, have somebody touching on my face. It feels so nice. But I will say, the one thing that I do is I sleep on, I cover my pillow with something satiny. Because the cotton dries out my hair and my face. So it's part of the reason why I put so much stuff on my face at night, and particularly the Camellia oil, is because the pillowcases will dry out my face. Especially when I'm traveling at hotels because their soap isn't the same soap I use on my sheets. For me, the one other way to protect my face is to sleep on something satiny. This, I recently came across. This was in a gift bag at an event I went to. It is Eve Lom's Radiance Face Mist. I just sprayed it on my face just to see what it was like. And I liked it because it made it feel like everything was sealed in. So it makes my face feel like it tightens up a little bit, in a good way. (mist spritzing) Neck. Okay, t's a lot, but it's fine. So you just take your magazine and you fan it. Sometimes I rub it in too. It feels really nice and it smells nice. The last thing I use, every night I try to, I have very short eyelashes. I was introduced to Lashfood by Cassandra Grey of Violet Grey. This was a very popular item on their site. And so I feed my lashes at night. It definitely has helped them grow. So I don't always have to wear fake lashes, especially if I'm doing quick makeup. And then if I feel like my brows are a little thin or whatever, I give a little taste of the Lashfood. And last but not least, this is also new to my routine. I tend to use any kind of balm before I go to bed. But not all balms are created equal. And I finally discovered that Glossier's Mint Balm Dotcom. It just feels so yummy on my lips. (Retta smacks) And there you have it. I'm ready for bed. I know I look a little shiny, but Mommy's gonna look real sweet in the morning. Okay, so that is my nighttime routine. Thank you for joining me. I hope some of these suggestions help you get the skin that you want. Have a good night. (soft music)
