We never thought we'd say it but John Mayer is officially our new favourite beauty vlogger.

While the rest of the world slept on Wednesday night, the 38-year-old singer stayed up to create a witty how-to-guide to recreate his nightly moisturising routine.

The 'Your Body Is A Wonderland' singer posted a video to Snapchat, introducing his new online venture saying: 'People are always asking me, 'John, what are some of your skincare secrets?

'And I always say, 'That's an odd question to ask me.' And they always say, 'You literally just asked me to ask you that,' he added.

Er, since when did Mayer get funny?

While the singer's Jack Sparrow-inspired bandana was slightly distracting, we have to admit we were impressed with his step-by-step moisturising routine.

During the video, he informs his fellow beauty fans that he washes his face with ProActiv, creams up with Natura Bissé and abides by the 'D.A.T.' rule (Direct Application Technique) – because you don't want all that expensive lotion getting caught up in the creases of your fingers, right John?

With eye concentrate and vitamin C and E infused-creams, the star then dots the lotions around his face in the shape of a smiley-face, advising his viewers to apply moisturiser in the 'C.N.Z' – crucial necessity zones –  before painstakingly working it into his skin with an earbud.

Ever the entertainer, John leaves the video's pièce de résistance to the end when he concludes the video by headbutting a spritz of facial mist.

We've never wanted to tune into a weekly beauty video more.
