Hello curly community! This is Nina Sultan. It has been about a year since my last video on my morning routine. Since then, it has changed so I thought it was time to make an updated video. Not only will I show you my current morning routine, but also my nighttime routine.
As you may know, I am trying to transition to using all-natural products for my skin and hair. The products that I mention below are likely to change in the future–right now, I have really gotten attached to using these. Almost all of the products that I use for my skin are organic or almost 100% natural and I have found these products to really help restore it back to health. I hope you enjoy this routine series and find it helpful.
Morning
Face
- When I get up in the morning, the first thing I like to do is brush my teeth and cleanse my face with my Neutrogena Naturals: Purifying Facial Cleanser ($7 at Target”>.
- Then, I rinse it off and apply my oil-free moisturizer. The one that I am into right now is the Alba Botanica: Hawaiian Oil Free Moisturizer ($11.19 at Target”>. I apply it with a finger dab amount to both sides of my cheeks, forehead, t-zone, and neck.
- Next, wash my hands and apply my makeup. I will have a separate series on that coming soon to my channel!
Hair
- Once I’ve finished applying my makeup, I wash my hands thoroughly and then begin to refresh my curls. My curl routine has not really changed all that much.
- First, I make my curl refreshing spray and put it in a spritz bottle. This consists of water that has been diluted with a few drops of an essential oil. Lately, I have really been into using grapefruit essential oil. Once I’ve made my spray, I shake it well so that my spray is mixed thoroughly.
- I then gently take off my hair tie and let my hair down from the pineapple hairstyle.
- Then, I massage my scalp, gently shaking my curls all around my head. Once I’ve shaken up my curls a little bit, I lightly spritz the roots and ends of my hair and continue to shake them to allow the spray to evenly distribute. Once I’ve finished applying my spray, I wash my hands once again, have some coffee, and I am ready to begin my day!
Night
Face
After my day is over, I start off by using my Neutrogena: Makeup remover cleansing towelettes *Night calming* ($7″> to remove my makeup.
Hair
Once my makeup is off, I wash my hands and gather my curls to the top of my head where I put my curls back into the pineapple hairstyle.
Face continued…
- I then brush my teeth and cleanse my face with my exfoliating Neutrogena Naturals: Acne Foaming Scrub ($8.61 at Walmart”>.
- Once I’ve finished gently exfoliating my face, I then rinse that off and apply my organic toner.
- I take a few cotton rounds and gently apply the toner all around my face and neck. The toner that I have been using lately is the one by Thayers: Alcohol-free Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera ($11.96 at Walmart”>. Finally, I apply my Alba Botanica: Hawaiian Oil Free Moisturizer once again.
Once that is complete, I am ready for bed. That’s all there is to it!
