00:00 What's up Harper's Bazaar?
00:01 It's Offset.
00:02 You ready to go to bed with me?
00:04 [upbeat music]
00:06 It's nighttime skincare routine.
00:11 So first off, before I go to bed, I have oily skin.
00:15 So I wanna make sure I get all the oil out.
00:17 So what I do is I get my StryEx pad,
00:20 which is right here, alcohol free
00:22 'cause I got sensitive skin.
00:24 So I break out with like harsh, harsh alcohol.
00:27 Take one pad out.
00:29 [pad rustling]
00:30 Look yourself in the eyes.
00:32 Get on top of the nose first.
00:34 Forehead.
00:36 Make sure you get the whole cheekbone face.
00:39 Down below by that beard, under that beard.
00:44 Just a little white, little subs
00:45 'cause it's a lot of juice.
00:46 We didn't come off the white right off.
00:49 My mom put me on these too.
00:50 She put me on these in high school.
00:52 You know, you're going through a little puberty,
00:54 getting a little bumps here on your forehead
00:55 and stuff like that.
00:56 She knew I had oily skin,
00:57 so I don't know how she found the product,
00:59 but it's worked since then.
01:01 After you're done with the wipes,
01:02 you throw that away.
01:03 Let the face blow off a little bit, cool off.
01:05 I don't want my face to be dry,
01:07 so I'm gonna apply some Aquaphor next.
01:10 My Aquaphor, I don't wear lotion,
01:12 so I only do Aquaphor and oil.
01:15 Fellas, if you do that routine
01:17 and you just keep at that routine for a minute,
01:18 your skin will be smooth.
01:20 Your lady lay down and be like,
01:21 "Ooh, I ain't know your skin with this stuff."
01:22 Trust me, my wife always tell me.
01:24 Now, as for the face, so I already got oily skin,
01:27 so I do a light little bit,
01:29 just to cover the bases.
01:30 I'm not trying to soak my face up.
01:32 Hit the forehead,
01:33 hit the sides.
01:36 Already, the skin is brightened up
01:41 and it looks cleaner.
01:44 Now, after the shower, like I said,
01:45 I don't do lotion.
01:47 This is the oil I use.
01:48 It's Palmer's Cocoa Butter.
01:51 It's smooth, fellas.
01:52 You pour a little bit and it's spread a lot,
01:53 so you don't have to cake yourself up.
01:55 The reason why I like this one too is like,
01:57 sometimes oil can have you super shiny,
01:59 but this kind of blends in with the skin.
02:01 It gets all in the dry areas
02:03 and you don't be like shining,
02:04 looking like you're trying to be a little body builder
02:06 or a little sex symbol,
02:08 'cause I don't be liking the super shine on,
02:10 you know what I'm saying?
02:11 But it does moisturize and softens the skin.
02:14 Fellas, you gotta make it a routine.
02:16 You can't do it once or twice.
02:17 You gotta just keep doing it,
02:18 gradually get off of that lotion.
02:20 I'm telling you, your lady gonna lay with you
02:22 and be like, "Damn, baby, your skin,
02:23 "what you been doing?"
02:24 I been throwing that palmers.
02:26 Another thing I do before I go to bed,
02:28 because I got dreads, I gotta oil my scalp.
02:32 Make sure my scalp is oiled and healthy.
02:34 And then I throw on a durag.
02:35 Even when my hair is not done,
02:37 I throw on a durag so the product can sit in my hair,
02:39 because you know I got a lot of hair,
02:41 I got a lot of dreads.
02:42 I can show you.
02:43 See, my hair is long.
02:45 It be a lot of places that need to be hit up for oil.
02:48 Like I might miss the back of the spot
02:49 or something like that.
02:50 I put the oil in, put the durag in, let it sit.
02:52 And then boom, I try not to tie
02:54 my hair in rubber bands and stuff like that too.
02:56 I always get these scrunchies,
02:58 'cause it's just gonna keep your hair safe.
03:00 It ain't gonna break your hair off.
03:02 Last thing before you go to bed,
03:04 just got that shower, refresh.
03:07 You gotta get that dub, fellas, fellas.
03:09 I know y'all get the wiping kind,
03:12 but look how beautiful this look.
03:14 You throw it on your phone, you get that little fish.
03:16 Not too much.
03:17 You let that thing rub in, you go to the right side.
03:21 [water spraying]
03:23 Let it rub in.
03:24 And then like a lot of women like these.
03:28 I always wore women dub deodorant.
03:30 I'm always do the women ones
03:31 'cause it's calmer, it ain't too strong.
03:34 I don't like my deodorant like busting through the,
03:36 I want, when I hug you, you smell me, I smell good.
03:38 Not like just, urgh.
03:39 Sometimes the men deodorant be a little too aggressive.
03:42 I like the soft smell.
03:44 So I'd rather go dub spray, fellas.
03:47 [sniffing]
03:49 Fresh.
03:50 So I don't really wear cologne
03:52 because my wife hates the smell of cologne.
03:56 It's too heavy for her, so she gets nausea a lot of times.
04:00 So honestly, I don't really, I'm really not a cologne guy.
04:03 I like for my clothes to be fresh though.
04:05 Out of the laundry, smelling fresh.
04:07 And then, you know, your body odors from like the dub spray,
04:10 it does the job.
04:11 And then it's a spray.
04:12 So sometimes you can, fellas, we can cheat a little bit.
04:14 You can cheat it a little bit
04:15 and hit the inside of the shirt.
04:17 After you hit the piss, you can hit the inside of the shirt
04:19 just so it's busting out the shirt a little bit too
04:21 if you need a little bit more sensation.
04:23 Okay, another thing I wanted to highlight.
04:25 Fellas, you know what I'm saying?
04:27 A woman always, when you approach them and speak to them,
04:30 they always look at your hands and your nails.
04:32 Fellas, it's okay to go sit in the shop,
04:34 get your nails done.
04:35 That's a clean thing to do.
04:37 If you're a super tough guy, just look at it
04:38 like taking a shower, bro.
04:40 It's hygiene.
04:41 You're keeping up with yourself.
04:42 You're a grown man.
04:43 Your wife, your woman, your lady should be happy
04:46 to have a man keep his hands clean, nails clean.
04:49 You don't gotta buff them if you don't want to.
04:51 You can keep it plain, but make sure you're going
04:53 to get the nails done.
04:54 Get your feet done too, fellas.
04:55 You can't hide the creatures up under them socks forever.
04:57 You gotta, if you're gonna get your nails done,
04:59 I promise you it'll look better than it did before.
05:01 So that's my routine.
05:03 I just keep it simple.
05:04 After that, I'm getting straight on to Call of Duty.
05:06 Meet me there.
