Hey guys, so in this video I'm gonna show you how to rejuvenate and take care of your skin.
2
I think Cathy Hewman wants to say hi everyone.
3
Sup?
4
What's going on?
5
Okay, so in this video I'm gonna give you a very in-depth tutorial on how to rejuvenate your skin.
6
And these are the tips that I personally use myself.
7
So I know this works.
8
Really simple, I'm keeping it to five tips.
9
So the first one, the most important, is to cleanse your skin to clean it.
10
The key to rejuvenation is making sure that your skin is clean
11
so it can absorb all the essential good products that you're putting on it.
12
So you want to make sure that any cleanser that you're using is effective, especially if you're someone that's wearing a lot of makeup or you have waterproof mascara.
13
I know this is unconventional to what you guys hear,
14
but try using cleansing oils instead of facial soaps or any harsh chemical soaps that are out there on the market.
15
It doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend a lot of money.
16
You can go as simple as extra virgin olive oil and this is honestly my favorite makeup remover and also homemade cleanser.
17
It's so homemade you can just literally use it from the bottle.
18
If you're going to be using an extra virgin olive oil, you want to find one that's certified organic.
19
Especially if you're putting it on your face, you don't want to use something that is low quality.
20
So find a certified organic extra virgin olive oil to apply on your face.
21
It's going to melt down the makeup.
22
It's going to be easy to remove and also it's going to help nourish the skin too.
23
Just because it doesn't strip away the natural oils that are already on my face.
24
But it helps break down the products at the same time without irritating my skin.
25
For those who are worried about like acne prone skin, just because you're using oil on the skin does not mean it's going to make it any more oily.
26
In fact, it's actually going to help nourish the skin and keep it from getting more irritated.
27
So instead of using any harsh chemicals, look for a product that is more organic, has less alcohol, less parabens,
28
and find something that is more gentle on the skin.
29
So this is why I recommend using oils on the skin when it comes to cleaning and removing any makeup.
30
And I know there's gonna be nights when you're gonna be super lazy when it comes to removing makeup.
31
However, if you find time to brush your teeth, you can definitely find time to remove the makeup.
32
So just invest in a good makeup remover.
33
This is one that I love by Kremer Lab.
34
What I like about these cleansing wipes is that it doesn't feel like a makeup remover where once you remove the makeup, your skin feels dry.
35
There's added moisturizer in here and it feels more hydrating when you're removing the makeup instead of just stripping everything dry.
36
So whenever I'm feeling lazy, Kremer Lab Cleansing Veil is my go-to makeup remover.
37
Step number two is to treat your skin.
38
And there's different ways you can treat it.
39
One of my favorite ways to treat the skin is to use a clay mask.
40
This is one by Kowlion.
41
It's a Korean brand.
42
Ever since I've been using this, I've noticed that my pore size decreased dramatically.
43
It's amazing.
44
And I know there's bentonite clay and other organic natural ingredients.
45
Pretty sure there's like magical ingredients in here but it really works.
46
Clay mask is a great way to clean out any impurities and toxins from your skin.
47
What it does is that it draws it all out
48
and it removes it and it brings it to the top of the skin
49
so that you can just rinse it right away.
50
Find a clay mask that works really well for you.
51
You can find really good ones at Whole Foods.
52
I know there's a lot of really good natural ones
53
that you can use and And also the old-fashioned trick that I used when I was in college, unscented kitty litter.
54
I know that sounds crazy.
55
I have a cat, so I know how crazy that sounds.
56
But a lot of the times when you look at the ingredients of unscented kitty litter, especially organic unscented kitty litter, it's really just bentonite clay.
57
And bentonite clay is found in expensive or very well-made clay masks like these that you can find on the market.
58
It's crazy.
59
And what you do is you take the powder of the kitty litter, you wet it, and then you apply it on your face, just like a clay mask, and you rinse it off.
60
Another treatment that I love using is a honey mask.
61
And what makes honey so unique is that it's nature's antibiotic.
62
So not only will it help lighten the skin, but it also has healing properties in there too, where it helps heal the skin and nourish it.
63
My favorite honey to use is Manuka honey.
64
It's much more rich in antibiotics than normal honey that you find on the market or on the grocery store shelves.
65
And it's a little more expensive, So if you are on a budget, Manuka honey might be a little more expensive,
66
but I love it because I don't just use Manuka honey for my face.
67
Whenever I have a sore throat or if I'm feeling sick, I take a teaspoon of Manuka honey, I just eat it, and the next day my throat feels better and I don't feel as sick.
68
So it's really a wonderful way to heal the body and the skin.
69
I do this twice a week where I apply Manuka honey on my face.
70
I leave it for about five to 10 minutes and then I rinse it off and my skin just feels amazing.
71
So this is a really great way to treat and nourish your skin.
72
And if you're feeling a little fancy, then I recommend using a really good, well-made skin mask.
73
And this one is by Innisfree.
74
I discovered this brand when I was in Korea
75
and I found the store and I loved every single product that they had in there.
76
It's amazing quality.
77
They believe in organic, natural products.
78
And what I love about this mask is that it's a two-step process.
79
So you have the serum that's attached up here that you peel off and you apply on your face.
80
It's vitamin C.
81
And then you apply the mask on.
82
And right when you remove it, your skin just feels brand spanking new.
83
If buying masks like this is a little too expensive for you, there's a way to make your own.
84
It's really simple.
85
All you need are rectangle square cotton sheets like this and Essence.
86
What Essence does is that it softens the skin, it lightens it, and it also helps prepare it for all the other products that you're gonna apply on later.
87
So what I do is I take the essence, I douse it all over the cotton pads, I let it sit for 10 seconds, and then I start stretching it out,
88
and then I peel it layer by layer, applying it all over my face leaving it for about 10 minutes that's good enough
89
and then just peeling it off and your skin is going to feel
90
so fresh and so rejuvenated and then it's ready for step number three.
91
Step number three is to tone the skin so
92
when it comes to toners you want to be careful with what's on the market right now
93
because there's a lot on the market
94
that has a lot of alcohol in it and what alcohol does
95
that it dries the skin that's the exact opposite of what you want to do
96
so you want to find a toner
97
that doesn't have a lot of alcohol like this one by
98
be the skin this is by far one of the best toners i've ever used i love it
99
and besides using this toner sometimes i'll switch it with apple
100
cider vinegar this apple cider vinegar is by far the best
101
that i've ever used it's called solana gold it's all organic again you can find this one at whole foods
102
or you can buy it online i'll add the the link below.
103
I love this one because it's raw, it's unfiltered.
104
So what I do, I take two cotton pads, one soaked in water, one soaked in apple cider vinegar.
105
I wipe my face with apple cider vinegar
106
and then I wipe off with water and I just keep doing it back
107
and forth until my skin gets that tingly sensation.
108
You don't want to use apple cider vinegar raw on your face
109
because it might sting a little too much
110
and it might be a little too strong for the face and that's why I recommend offsetting it with water.
111
So water, apple cider vinegar, and just start mixing it up.
112
And your skin is going to feel incredible.
113
It's gonna be like thank you
114
so much for not piling on all these chemicals on my face and giving me something that is natural and raw.
115
Step number four is to nourish the skin.
116
You want to find ingredients that are good for the skin that's gonna give it that luminosity.
117
So finding products like vitamin C
118
that you can apply all over your skin is going to help give it
119
that boost and it's going to help produce more collagen.
120
This one I found on Amazon is by Oz Naturals.
121
It's by far one of my favorite vitamin C serums.
122
It's 20% vitamin C which is pretty potent.
123
Another serum that I love is by Be The Skin and boy is it super powerful.
124
So two pumps is all you need
125
and what you want to do is after toning your skin
126
you want to apply the serum on first before moisturizer and just patting it all over the skin.
127
A serum is kind of like a moisturizer that has a boost of power.
128
Think of it like a moisturizer without the moisturizing benefits, but it has all the packed, potent ingredients in it.
129
For example, let's say you don't have the best diet, but you take supplements.
130
Serums are like that.
131
You may not have the best skincare routine, but using a serum will make a world of a difference because you're adding a lot of powerful,
132
active ingredients on the face that will help heal and nourish the skin.
133
Another good vitamin to use on the skin is vitamin A, or they call it retinol.
134
And this one I use is by IOPE.
135
I love this one.
136
You don't need a prescription to get this retinol.
137
You can just buy it online or over the counter.
138
What I do is I take a little bit of retinol, I apply it on my forehead, my nasolabial folds, a little bit on my crow's feet area, and the rest around my cheeks.
139
And what this does is that it helps the cell turn over faster so that your skin rejuvenates much faster.
140
But you have to be a little careful
141
because retinol can dry out your skin
142
so make sure you apply on a really good moisturizer afterwards
143
or else your skin is going to start flaking and it's going to get really irritated.
144
If you need something stronger then you can start using a retinoid cream and this is prescription only.
145
one that's 0.05% and I use this one just around my forehead
146
and again nasolabial folds and boy it really does make a difference
147
and I know this is really strong because sometimes I find
148
that my skin can feel a little dry
149
so I use just a little bit but my personal favorite is the one
150
that you can get over the counter which is not as strong as the prescription one.
151
Alright guys so the final step, step number five, is to hydrate your skin.
152
Find a good moisturizer that is not going to feel greasy or heavy on the skin.
153
People tend to think the heavier the moisturizer the better, but that works better for older skin.
154
If you have younger skin or you're below 50, you don't really want something that's too heavy.
155
Something that is light, refreshing, and hydrating, but that's not going to weigh the skin down.
156
One that I use every other night is this one by Aromatica.
157
It's a beautiful moisturizer.
158
I love the texture.
159
It comes with a nice little scoop so
160
that you don't really contaminate it and you scoop it out
161
and break the product down between your fingers
162
and you pat it on the face
163
and your skin will feel like baby butt smooth the next morning it feels
164
so good and it doesn't feel as greasy or oily.
165
Another moisturizer I love using besides this one is an oil-based
166
moisturizer same brand Aromatica it doesn't have to be this oil
167
it can be like argan oil olive oil coconut oil any
168
oil you can safely use on the skin it's going to not only only help hydrate the skin
169
but the skin will also feel like it's natural
170
so it's not gonna have that irritation
171
so that's pretty much the final step hydrate the skin moisturize it
172
and you're pretty much ready to sleep
173
and rest whenever you're shopping don't compare prices don't look at
174
what's expensive look at what's effective besides cleaning the face hydrating the skin is the most important
175
and remember guys don't neglect drinking water just
176
because you're putting all these products on the face don't expect miracles
177
because half the battle is also what you put inside the body.
178
Alright guys, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
179

181
And let me know if you guys would like for me to share my favorite gadgets
182
that I use on my skin to help rejuvenate it.
183
Like Clarisonics, LED lighting, scrubs.
184
Best of luck when it comes to rejuvenating your skin.
185
Don't worry, you got this.
186
And make sure not to stress out because when you stress out, your skin is going to stress out.
187
So a calm mind will give you beautiful skin and body.
188
Love you guys, good luck!

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

In questo video, impariamo diverse strategie per rivitalizzare la pelle e curarla nella nostra routine serale. Questo tema non solo è interessante ma anche utile per praticare l’inglese in un contesto reale e colloquiale. Utilizzare video di bellezza per imparare l'inglese con youtube è un modo efficace per assorbire vocaboli specifici e frasi quotidiane. Parlando dei vari passaggi della cura della pelle, possiamo migliorare la nostra pratica di conversazione in inglese integrando frasi descrittive e tecniche. Inoltre, il lessico legato alla bellezza è ampio e variegato, il che significa che ci sono molte opportunità per espandere le nostre conoscenze linguistiche.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

  • “The key to rejuvenation is making sure that your skin is clean” - Qui si evidenzia l’importanza della determinazione del soggetto e dei verbi, consentendo di comprendere come costruire frasi dichiarative chiare.
  • “Just because it doesn’t strip away the natural oils” - Questa struttura usa la forma negativa per evidenziare delle eccezioni, utile per praticare il condizionale e le frasi subordinate.
  • “What I like about these cleansing wipes is that it doesn’t feel dry” - La formulazione della frase di preferenza è fondamentale per esprimere opinioni e preferenze. Qui si può praticare il lessico per descrivere emozioni e sensazioni.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

Nel video, alcuni termini potrebbero risultare difficili da pronunciare, come “rejuvenate”, “cleanser”, e “moisturizer”. È importante prestar attenzione ai suoni e alle sillabe accentate. Ad esempio, nella parola “rejuvenate”, l'accento cade sulla seconda sillaba, mentre in “moisturizer” sull’ultima. Esercitarsi con queste parole attraverso il shadowing in inglese – ripetendo simultaneamente ciò che si ascolta – può aiutare a migliorare la pronuncia. Analizzando questi suoni, possiamo migliorare la pronuncia inglese e acquisire maggiore fluidità nel parlare. Utilizzate il shadow speech per rafforzare le abilità acquisite e coltivare una pronuncia più naturale e sicura.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
