for you there a couple of weeks ago I
did a video called my top 5 anti-aging
tips and in that video I talked about
how I would have started my anti-aging
skincare for my aging skin a little bit
differently as a result of that comment
on that video so many of you messaged me
over on Instagram on YouTube even helped
me asking me what I would do differently
in my anti-aging skincare routine and
just getting started when you’re a
little bit older so that’s what I’ll be
going over with you today I put a lot of
thought into this subject and really
looked back at what I would have liked
to have seen or learned when I was just
starting my skincare routine so this
series is going to be broken up into
three part the first one is today how to
get started on an anti-aging skincare
routine when you’re a little bit older

are going to be the next steps when
you’re a little bit more used to a
regular skincare routine what are the
next things that you want to add on for
more and better results and the third
video are going to be the tools that I
have found to be very very helpful
effective and easy to use in my skincare
routine if you think that you’re going

sign up for my weekly newsletter what I
do is I send out a newsletter once a
week outlining all the video topics for
that week so you can then pick and
choose which videos you want to hop on
and take a look at Before we jump in
with the easy and cheap way to start an
anti-aging skincare routine I want to
share a little bit about so that you can
then compare it to your own skin and the
things that you might need first of all
I’m not a doctor I’m not a nurse I’m not
an esthetician I’m not a dermatologist
I’m absolutely nothing other than a
middle-aged woman who woke up one day
with horribly aged skin that I hadn’t
taken care of at all so I totally
deserved it I decided when I was 62
which was about ten months ago I’m 63
now I’ve had a birthday in between that
I would go ahead and launch an
anti-aging skincare routine and see what
the result would be I really didn’t know
if it was going to be effective or not I
thought maybe it’s just a little bit too
late about ten months ago I did a deep
dive into skincare and have been
learning and growing my knowledge base
and applying what I’ve learned along the
way in the ten months I’ve actually been
a little bit surprised at how much of an
impact I’ve been able to have on my skin
here is a clip of me and my face when I
very first started my channel at the
beginning of my skincare journey the
reason I want you to look at a clip is
because I think that with skincare the
biggest changes are not only how your
skin looks just when it’s your face is
not moving but how your skin actually
moves over your face so I want you to be
able to compare what my skin looks like
on the before video how it moves on my
face whether it bounces back looks
youthful looks fresh compared to how my
skin looks today I think that that’s a
better indication of what we can do with
anti-aging skincare particularly when
we’re 50 and over the skincare routine
I’m going to be talking about today is
the absolute basics this is for you if
you’ve never done any regular skincare
if you’ve fallen away from skincare and
ER look
to get back in or here just completely
clueless about the whole concept of
skincare and makeup and you just don’t
even know where to start
I would have done my skincare routine
this way for three reasons number one it
would have built up the habit in me of
taking care of my skin every day I was
in the habit of going to sleep with my
makeup on if I ever wore makeup
I didn’t cleanse my face regularly I
almost never wore sunscreen in other
words I did everything wrong I think if
I would have started in this very modest
way it would have really helped me to
develop the daily habit of washing my
face moisturizing my face and taking
care of my face I could have then taken
a look to see is this sustainable for me
is this something I feel like I can
continue to do before buying a whole
bunch of additional skincare products
the second reason I would have started
my anti-aging skincare routine this way
is it would have prepared my skin for
all the other ingredients in the
skincare I was using I had so much old
skin built up on my face that I don’t
even know if a lot of the products that
I used ever made it into a lower layer
of my skin it was just so ruddy and
sallow looking with a whole lot of dead
skin cells that needed to come off had I
spent a couple of months really
exfoliating my skin and cleansing it
really well every day I think that when
I would have jumped into the additional
ingredients they would have been a lot
more effective and my money would have
been much better spent and the last
reason that I would have started my
skincare routine this way is it’s a very
low investment it’s very very affordable
to start in a very modest way it would
have given me the opportunity to think
is this something I’m interested in
continuing on before I invest more money
into my skincare the bottom line is I’m
a big fan of starting out slowly with
anti-aging skincare particularly if
you’ve never done it before because
it’ll give all of us an opportunity to
see is this something I’m really
interested in and do I think I will be
able to continue with it starting a good
anti-aging skincare routine with just
cleansing your face will take you a long
way to brighter fresher skin the
cleanser that I use is the CeraVe
hydrating cleanser I love this stuff
it’s so gentle on my skin and it does a
wonderful job of really cleaning my skin
and not leaving it feeling dry or strip
all of Sarah v’s products come with
ceramides and this particular cleanser
also has hyaluronic acid in it it’s a
fabulous cleanser at a very affordable
price they also have a foaming version
of this same cleanser if you have normal
to oily skin I have normal skin this is
for normal to dry skin if your skin’s a
little bit oily or you might want to
take a look at the foaming cleanser from
CeraVe it also has sera Minds hyaluronic
acid and an additional ingredient that
you’re going to love niacinamide in that
cleanser I would definitely start with a
fabulous cleanser like the CeraVe
hydrating cleanser in my anti-aging
routine the next step that I would have
incorporated if I knew then what I know
now is exfoliation my skin had so much
old dead skin built up over it it was
ruddy and rough and the texture was
uneven and it was just really a clogged
Matt had I used a good exfoliator for a
couple of months before I started my
whole other serums and products I think
I would have been better off first of
all my skin would have had a chance to
really clean itself up and develop some
new skin cells on the top layer and it
would have prepared my skin to receive
all those great ingredients that I was
putting on it there are a lot of
different types of exfoliator out on the
market and what I know to look for is
sensitivity my skin is not sensitive at
all I’ve never reacted to anything so
I’m able to use very robust products on
my skin if my skin was sensitive I would
have to really take a look at that and
go for products that were a little bit
milder salicylic acid is one of the
mildest exfoliators out there and
Paula’s choice makes a great product I
haven’t used it but a lot of people rave
about it it’s the Polish Choice regular
strength exfoliating solution at 2%
salicylic acid if you have extremely
sensitive skin this might be a good
product for you to look into it’s very
gentle it will help to clear off all
those old dead skin cells and start
preparing your skin to create new fresh
skin cells and be able to accept some
new products that you add down the road
if I had kind of medium sensitivity skin
I would look into lactic acid as an
exfoliator the ordinary makes two
fabulous lactic acid products at a great
price you guys know how much I enjoy the
ordinary they have a lactic acid 5% and
a lactic acid 10% either one of those in
my mind based on my experience would be
a good place to start if your skin has a
more medium sensitivity level for my
skin and my skin is not sensitive at all
I use the H a BH a solution from the
ordinary this is a very robust
exfoliator if you have sensitive skin I
don’t think this would be a very good
choice for you however it works very
well for my skin I use this once or
twice a week I leave it on for about 7
minutes wash my face and golly my skin
feels like a baby’s bottom when I’m done
this has been a very important part of
my skincare routine and I think it’s
done a wonderful job leaving out the
clogged pores and exfoliating a lot of
the dead skin off my face so we’ve
covered cleansing our face very well
morning and evening exfoliating our face
so that we can get off those old dead
skin cells clean out our clogged pores
and promote new skin growth now it’s
time to moisturize and CeraVe again
makes a fabulous moisturizer all the
ceremi products contain ceramides and
what Cera mites will do is they help
restore and maintain the skins barrier
that’s the top layer of your skin that’s
the skins barrier
ceramides are really a potent ingredient
in any skin care product therapy offers
their moisturizer in both a cream and
loschen both of them are non-greasy and
they soak into the skin really quickly
and beautifully both the lotion and the
cream contain hyaluronic acid our
fragrance free and hypoallergenic as far
as bang for your buck with a wonderful
moisturizing formula I don’t really
think you can beat the savvy either the
cream which is going to be heavier or
the lotion what’s going to be a little
less occlusive so either one of those
would be a great addition to an
anti-aging over 50 skincare routine the
last step and I’m sure it’s no surprise
for you is protection and what is
protection mean it means sunscreen when
it comes to sunscreen there was no
naughty a person on the planet than me I
never wore it and I was out in the Sun a
lot I don’t know I was just obnoxious
about it I would I roll people when they
told me to wear sunscreen I don’t feel
that way today if a person was to say
give me one product to wear on my skin I
would say absolutely sunscreen today I
never go a day without putting sunscreen
on my face my neck my decollete and the
backs of my hands it’s just become an
absolute staple in my skincare world I
just did a full video on sunscreens and
the different types of sunscreens what
you want to look for and the sunscreens
that I’m currently using I’ll go ahead
and link it up there if you’re
interested to find out more about the
details of what’s available in today’s
sunscreen I’m going to go ahead and
share two of my favorite sunscreens with
you today the first one is the
Australian gold botanical 50 sunscreen
this is such a handy little sunscreen
and I have it in my arsenal all the time
this is the sunscreen that I wear on my
face my neck my decollete in the backs
of my hands when I’m not doing any
makeup for the day if I’m just gonna be
staying home or working in the garden or
maybe a quick to the grocery store I
just don’t want to fiddle with makeup I
don’t do makeup every day so when I
don’t do makeup this is absolutely what
I wear it has a little bit of a tint to
it so I like it for my face on the no
makeup days because it evens out my skin
tone and really helps my face to feel a
little bit more protected which it is
what I use this sunscreen for daily is
the backs of my hands I really love it
for that because it has a slight tint
do it it kind of evens out the skin on
the back of my hands and I always have
kitten scratches or wounds from the
garden or something going on on the back
of my hand so I like the fact that it
makes my hands look a little bit more
smooth this is definitely a super handy
sunscreen it’s very affordable and I
love it the other sunscreen I want to
share with you is from dermatology and
it’s their broad-spectrum SPF 45 this is
a fairly new product to my skin care
arsenal and I’m absolutely loving it it
is moisturizing it doesn’t feel dry on
my face at all even throughout the day
which some sunscreens can feel that way
it plays really well under makeup it
doesn’t leave a white cast there’s
really nothing about this sunscreen that
I don’t absolutely love it’s it’s truly
my current favorite to wear on days when
I’m going to be putting on makeup and
going out into the world I was so
impressed with this sunscreen that I
emailed the company and ask them for a
coupon code for you guys and fortunately
they gave me one it’s for 20% off which
makes this a screaming deal this retails
for about 21 dollars right now and with
the coupon code I think it’s around 16
dollars which is fabulous for a 2 ounce
bottle of really really good sunscreen
if you’re casting around for a sunscreen
that works really well under your makeup
I can tell you this has worked
wonderfully for me there we have it the
cheap and easy way to get started on an
anti-aging skincare routine for us over
50 gals just remember it’s cleansing
exfoliating moisturizing and protecting
and with those four steps you’re all set
