00:00Hi friends! I hope you're having an inspiring day. My name is Mel and welcome
00:04back to another episode of Routine Reversal. Today we are talking all about
00:10summertime skincare. So I travel a lot but in the summer I love to stay here in
00:17Toronto. It is so beautiful, everybody's out on patios and you just want to be
00:22outside. But with you being out means your skin is out too and naturally
00:28moving from a minus 30 degrees Celsius to positive 30 degrees Celsius means your
00:34skincare has got to change. And today I am swapping routines with my friend Chelsea
00:39at Refinery29. Hey everyone! I'm Chelsea Peng, fashion editor at Refinery29. For me
00:46skincare isn't one-size-fits-all. In summer I have to switch things up and
00:50think about being outside and on the go even more. So this means swapping out your
00:54oils and creams for lighter wet gel textures with ingredients that don't
00:58clog your pores. Sun protection is important year-round but even more so
01:02during the summer. Otherwise I really just try to lean into a dewy glowy look
01:06that's pretty natural for this time of year. Other than that you don't need
01:10anything. Good luck Mel! Have fun! And with heat comes sweat. So I am so excited I'm
01:17gonna be trying the Degree Ultra Clear Black and White Dry Spray. I'm super
01:22excited to try this dry spray because it goes on instantly dry. It also keeps those
01:28yellow marks off your white clothes and the white marks off your black clothes. For
01:34the summer time I typically like to go a little bit lighter on my makeup and go
01:38for that no makeup look. So skincare is more important than ever. I really like to
01:44start off my skincare with this sheet mask here. This is the St. Ives Revitalizing
01:49Acai Blueberry and Chia Seed Oil Sheet Mask. This sheet mask is basically a superfood
01:56smoothie for your face. And Acai is so great for you. One because it's got
02:02antioxidants in it and it's also super hydrating for your tan. And we're all
02:08trying to get a little bit of a tan in the summertime. Next up I'm going to use a
02:13vitamin C serum and vitamin C is so great because it brightens your skin and it's
02:18also got a lot of essential nutrients in it. So this is basically in my summer
02:24skincare routine and normally I'd follow it with my makeup. But a little extra
02:29skincare tip for you for nighttime use this cooling overnight recovery mask and
02:35your skin will thank you. The reason why I love this mask is after being out in the
02:40sun and having fun for a full day there's nothing better than something
02:44that's refreshing and cooling on your freshly tanned skin right before you go to
02:49bed. But with that I hope you have an inspiring rest of your day. Remember
02:53kindness doesn't cost a thing and I'll talk to you next time. Bye!
