You NEED THIS When You Travel, BEST JAPANESE DESSERTS (Bulk Homme)

Now that the world is opening back up that means we're gonna travel and of course when you travel you got your essentials. But a lot of people don't want to talk about how traveling affects your skin and how to keep your skin care routine convenient. So let's talk about my favorite skin care from Japan, Balcom. They have a new travel kit that is solving all those issues. We're gonna talk about why traveling can mess up your skin. We're gonna also travel to some really dope Japanese dessert spots around New York. Big shout out to Balcom for sponsoring this video. They are the premier luxury skin care for men from Japan. They are putting everything from this into this for their new travel kit. Alright so real quick we got to talk about three reasons why when you travel and I've been through this myself your skin might get worse. Some of you might be saying to yourself right now, but Andrew you don't have flawless skin why are you telling me about skin care? Yes that is a good point. Naturally I just do not have the J-pop K-pop skin but I have to work to even get to this point and my skin even looks this good in part because I use Balcom all the time. Reason number one is traveling and changing climates and air quality can really affect your skin. Listen your skin is a breathing living thing that's on your body so when you change environments whether that's from humid to dry no sun to very sunny it can affect your skin. I can tell you from personal experience that living in the San Gabriel Valley of LA is a lot drier for my skin than living in for example Seattle or New York. Point number two long plane rides can actually make your face greasier. In a plane there's not gonna be a lot of humidity right there's not gonna be a lot of moisture they're gonna make it dry for a reason and also the air is being recycled within the plane so that's why after like a six seven hour flight you might feel your face and it feels kind of greasy that's because it's so dry your skin is actually overcompensating and producing more oil on your face. Point number three when you're traveling you're just living a different life you have a totally different regimen, sleep patterns, everything is different. For me personally sleep means a lot so when I'm changing different time zones or I took a red eye and I have jet lag I can tell you that my face can break out. I'm waking up the next day with a little bit more red, blemishes, acne, whatever you want to call it and it's just like makes the trip a lot less enjoyable. And another thing a lot of people don't think about is that your regimen is off you're not even using necessarily the same skincare routine that you're using at home and you might be using it at different times you might be skipping some hours because you took a red eye and then the flights over that you know you went back in time so I don't know whatever it is it's just messing every regimen. Also when people travel a lot of people don't drink enough water and water is really good for your skin and for those reasons I'm recommending Volcom's new travel kit. It's minimalistic, it's cool, and it has all the components from the full-size skincare routine that I talked about in previous videos. Oh it's 11 p.m. I gotta wash my face. Here are some reasons why I think that this is the best travel kit out there. First of all it's the same luxury skincare from Japan that you're getting from these guys. Second reason why is it's cool, it's minimalistic, it's small, compact, fits in a bag, fits in your carry-on. Number three this whole pack should last you about five days if you're using it night and day but depending on how much you use maybe it could last you more. Reason number four is that this miniature foaming net actually still provides a lot of the same experience as this full-size one. Yes you might get a little bit more bubbles here but think about it you can get that same luxurious foaming rich sensation that you get from this from just this. And number five if you travel a lot you know that you have to keep like a little travel kit on the side that you can just grab and go so you're not always grabbing all your bigger bottles and squeezing them into these little travel size things. No they put it all here for you right now. This is the miniature version of my favorite skincare so it's super easy I'm just gonna let this sit on the side I won't use on my day-to-day if I'm at my house but if I need to travel I'm just gonna pick it up and go. Overall if you've seen any previous videos where I talk about ball comb you'll know how much I love this product it's a great experience it has great ingredients macadamia oil yuzu apple green tea extract this is just my favorite skincare of them all it's made design and created in Japan and used all around the world it's super famous in Europe and a lot of other places in Asia so you guys check it out if you're interested in the new ball comb travel kit you can actually click on this link down below and get 15% off for the rest of the month of June and if you want the full-size versions you can just buy them off at amazon.com on Amazon Prime so they'll ship super quickly to your house the world is opening up soon I plan on traveling a lot more and this is one of my essentials now. Alright so I know I'm not traveling very far but I will show you how I use this ball comb travel kit even when I just go to Brooklyn. Alright so our first Japanese dessert spot is a really cool spot out in Brooklyn it's on the edge of Williamsburg and Greenpoint so this is called Patisserie Tomoko the chef Tomoko she's from Japan but has worked in a lot of famous French pastry shops and what she wanted to do was keep the French technique and form but with Japanese flavoring so things are not gonna be too sweet they're gonna have a lot of green tea a lot of yuzu and yuzu actually funny enough is one of the ingredients in ball comb. I didn't plan for this I'm just saying it all works together let's go try some desserts. Alright starting off I'm not gonna lie wish David was here to join me because I know David likes desserts here is the green tea tiramisu. Tiramisu of course you know the famous cake but everything is replaced no coffee green tea so first of all let me go for the yuzu dacquoise yuzu dacquoise. It just broke down in my mouth super light and fluffy pastry that yuzu cream is delicious. Alright man let me try this green tea tiramisu. David don't worry I'm gonna bring the rest back for you. Green tea tiramisu. Green tea is really light not too sweet Japanese people they don't want things too sweet too salty just right nice in the middle. Okay this is the fruit tart I'm not gonna lie I don't really know how to bite into this or use my fork because I think it's all gonna crumble so I'm just gonna take a bite. It is what it is. What is this the bulk home foaming face wash? I got all over my face. I love it I like how it's really semi-sweet. Cream puff two types of cream let's check it out. I might just have to take the top off. Yo definitely better than beer poppers however wow my favorite things and the things you must get are the dacquoise. The light almond pastry sandwiches. I mean I think it was cool to come to like a Japanese. This is from a Japanese person but it's like in a French form with Japanese flavorings and then bulk home as a face wash you know as skincare is made in Japan but it has kind of like French influence in the name and kind of what it's trying to accomplish so it really makes sense that we're here but I got one more spot to show you it's Kitsby it's a Asian American owned Japanese inspired dessert spot right down there in Williamsburg so let's go. Alright so my next spot is Kitsby it is a Asian owned one of the owners is from Hong Kong one of the owners is from Taiwan they have an Asian pastry chef and they've all came together to make one of the most aesthetically pleasing Asian owned dessert spots in the whole area there's a lot of Japanese influence Japanese flavoring some Chinese influence guys there's just a lot to see they have like these special lava cakes it looks crazy super Instagrammable. Let's go. Alright basically I just love how the travel kit is so compact I mean look how small it is it fits into my side bag and I still have space for other things so pretty much how you use ball comb is you're gonna have your foaming net you're gonna take a little bit of this face wash so you can see it's foaming up right now it's lathering with this rich kind of like thick foam it almost feels like a like a whipped cream on my face have no time to dry your face I'm just gonna slap on some of this toner and it's gonna just soak in with the water mmm all right so once my face is dried I'm gonna use the lotion that's all you need by the way whoo my face is clean I'm super refreshed I know that that was a long trip a long flight whatever it was maybe your skin was dehydrated maybe you got too greasy on the plane but that's how easy it is to use ball combs travel kit. Alright diving into it I got to go with the salted egg yolk lava cake man this is probably gonna remind me of that dim sum dish the Osabao. Let's check it out. Wow bruh that's gotta be one of the best if not the best salted egg yolk dessert I've ever had. Going along with the lava cake theme I got the black sesame one this one I'm sure visually it's gonna blow your mind whoa whoa whoa I can smell the steaming black sesame it really smells like a Chinese dessert tongue got a little ice cream steaming black sesame. Comparing this spot to Patisserie Tomoko I gotta say this spots definitely sweeter the flavors are hitting you harder the desserts are a little bit more rich both spots were delicious and basically visually appealing because you know nowadays most people they are eating with their eyes so shout out to Kispy and Patisserie Tomoko because they are doing some incredible things with Asian flavors.
