00:00 Hi Harper's Bazaar, I'm Padma Lakshmi.
00:02 Let's go to bed.
00:03 [upbeat music]
00:06 So the first thing I do is take off my makeup.
00:12 I like these Neutrogena face wipes.
00:15 I've been using them for years.
00:17 You can get them anywhere at any pharmacy.
00:21 And so no matter where I'm traveling,
00:23 I always can find them in case I don't have them,
00:26 as you can see on my makeup.
00:29 It's coming off, getting off all the foundation,
00:33 the lipstick.
00:34 I like face wipes because you can really get in there
00:38 sometimes even when I've used foaming face washes,
00:41 which I do use, and you'll see that in a second.
00:44 It doesn't always come off.
00:46 I find that a lot of face washes do strip your skin
00:51 of its natural oils.
00:53 And while I do wanna get all the makeup off,
00:56 I don't want to scrub my eyelashes off
01:01 'cause it's a lot of wear and tear.
01:03 So I forgot to put my hair up.
01:05 So let's just get that out of the way.
01:08 So now I'm using Tracy Martin Amla Purifying Cleanser.
01:16 It's really light, it's refreshing,
01:20 and to me it's a mood elevator.
01:23 So I really love this product.
01:27 So you have to wet it a little bit
01:29 to get it foamy and lather up.
01:32 And then I just put it all over,
01:37 and then you just wash it off.
01:40 Okay, so that's done.
01:46 After that, I use Christine Chen.
01:52 I use a lot of her products,
01:54 and I love this hydrating toner.
01:57 And I'm just pretty generous with it.
02:01 And while that's soaking in, I use lip balm.
02:05 It's called Hydra Essential by Clarins,
02:08 and it's really nice.
02:09 I keep it in my makeup bag,
02:11 and I use it before I start my makeup,
02:13 and I also use it at night.
02:15 And sometimes if I have a lot of lipstick on
02:20 and I'm working day in and day out
02:23 with filming and eating a lot,
02:25 my lips get really chapped.
02:27 And so I'll put, I'll really slather
02:29 a lot of this lip balm on,
02:31 and then I'll just take a toothbrush,
02:34 and I'll just kind of exfoliate.
02:36 And then just make sure to wipe.
02:41 You don't want lip balm on your skin
02:43 'cause that can make you break out,
02:45 and as you can see, I'm a messy exfoliator.
02:48 And then I just put some more on.
02:50 A lot of the products I use,
02:52 I wind up using twice, depending on the weather
02:56 and the needs of my skin as well.
02:58 And then I use Christine Chin eye cream.
03:05 I love this eye cream.
03:07 I never used to wear eye cream
03:08 because eye cream actually made me break out
03:11 in little bumps around my eyes.
03:13 And then just a few years ago,
03:16 I noticed that I started getting these lines,
03:21 which are natural,
03:23 but I just felt like the regular moisturizer wasn't enough.
03:27 And so I just always put that on.
03:30 And then when I have extra,
03:31 I just put it on my forehead
03:32 because a little extra eye cream on my forehead
03:36 never hurt anybody.
03:38 And then after that,
03:41 I will use a moisturizer.
03:45 I love this Peter Thomas Roth water drench.
03:49 It's wonderful.
03:50 It has a ton of hyaluronic acid in it.
03:53 It goes on super light,
03:54 and I will say it stays on.
03:57 Like your face feels supple for quite a while.
04:01 You just need about that much.
04:03 And it's great.
04:07 Like in the morning, my face still feels nice and hydrated.
04:11 And then after that moisturizer sinks in,
04:15 I use this EDA.
04:20 I just have started using this.
04:22 This is my second or third bottle.
04:24 And it's really good.
04:25 It's supposed to brighten your skin.
04:27 It's made by women of color,
04:31 and it's supposed to help you with your dark spots
04:35 and hyperpigmentation, which I have.
04:39 And just put it like that.
04:40 (soft music)
04:43 I have always had hyperpigmentation,
04:55 even when I was a child,
04:57 but it's gotten a little bit worse as I've aged,
05:01 as I've filmed in the sun,
05:04 and as my hormones have shifted,
05:06 which is happening right now.
05:08 And so it's always a wonder.
05:10 You never know.
05:12 Some days I feel like my hyperpigmentation
05:14 doesn't show at all.
05:16 And then other days I feel like it really shows.
05:18 And this will just sink in.
05:20 The last thing I use is this Beauty Pie Uber Youth.
05:26 It's just a spray that feels really good
05:29 for your neck and your decollete.
05:33 And I think I just like being sprayed with stuff
05:36 because it just feels nice and refreshing.
05:39 And it smells good too.
05:41 Beauty Pie is a product I discovered in England.
05:44 And one of the things that they have that I also like
05:48 are these Super Drops.
05:50 I don't use them all the time,
05:52 but I find that they're really nice
05:54 to give you a moisturizing glow,
05:57 especially on your chest area.
06:00 I don't like using too many products on my face,
06:03 but on my neck and my chest,
06:09 I wanna make sure that those areas are nice and moisturized
06:14 and ready to go to bed.
06:17 That's it.
06:18 Bye, Harkers.
