Morning Anti-Aging Skincare Routine Update!
[Music]
hey everybody its Angie and welcome to
hot and flashy in today’s video I’ve got
my morning skincare routine update I’m
splitting my skincare routine into two
videos this time just to keep them a
little bit shorter because you know how
I love to talk about anti-aging skincare
and ingredients and tell you what each
ingredient does for your skin and why I
use it and then show you how I use it so
we’ll be doing all that in today’s video
for the morning portion of my skincare
routine and I what I would like to do is
show you my skincare routine in real
time so just putting on everything all
at once so that you can see how really
quick and easy it is even though I do
use a lot of different products but I
feel like at my age and at my point in
my anti-aging journey it takes a village
of lots of different ingredients to help
to anti-age your skin if you’re new here
hi hello welcome I am 57 years old just
had my 57th birthday I have been doing
anti-aging skincare for seven years
since I turned 50 before that I really
didn’t have a skincare routine I really
didn’t do anything good for my skin at
all in fact I was really super mean to
my skin I was a Sun worshiper for about
40 years so from the time I was ten
until the time I was 50 because I had
done so much sun damage to my skin when
I was younger I decided it was time to
stop that and really take care of my
skin I wanted to find out which
ingredients would actually work and so I
looked to scientists and dermatologists
and started reading studies on what
worked in your skin and I took that
information I took the best of the best
that things that were actually proven to
work over time and I’ve loaded it into
my skincare routine I do have combo skin
I have led down the center through my
t-zone
and then I have normal the rest of my
face a little dry around my mouth area
and that’s it so let’s talk about my and
skincare routine my morning skincare
routine starts with washing my face I’m
using the Neutrogena hydro boost gentle
cleansing lotion for sensitive skin this
is fragrance free and it can
a hyaluronic acid this is a really
gentle cleanser it doesn’t foam I never
use any kind of foaming cleansers on my
face I feel like they’re too harsh
they’re too stripping and at this point
my skin just does not need that it needs
moisture and it needs gentleness then
after that if I am going to use my new
face which I use every other day now on
kind of a maintenance routine instead of
patting my face dry I leave the water on
my face
when I use this you need a conducting
gel with it the conducting gel that I
use is the new face gel primer this is a
hydrating levon formula you don’t leave
it on though so I use like a little
paintbrush I take one pump of the gel
and my face is still wet with the water
and I find that leaving the water on my
face just helps the gel to stay wetter
longer so basically you divide your face
up into three different sections so I
will paint the new face gel on the part
of my face so I’m gonna do first and
then I go ahead and do my new face
routine my whole new face routine takes
about ten minutes to do i watch youtube
videos while i do it this is a
microcurrent device and the electrical
current just I think gives your skin
energy and helps it to act like younger
skin and I think that the cold balls
with the pushing motion definitely helps
to lift your face if I’m feeling lazy
that day I’ll just use the big balls to
do my eye treatment then I’ll repeat the
whole treatment on this side and then I
do the forehead treatment and then I’m
done if I wasn’t feeling lazy that day
and I do that whole routine with the big
balls then I will take off the big balls
and swipe in the EoE attachment and then
with the elé attachment I’ll do my
eyelid lifting routine so that takes
those little prongs and you lift up and
hold lift up and hold lift up and hold
then it also has a bunch of slightly one
so you slide that in nine times you also
do under your eye slide in nine times
also the crow’s feet okay so then I am
left with all the gel on my face you can
leave it in and rub it on and I don’t
want to rub that in because I want my
skincare to penetrate so I wash the gel
off so then I just basically splashed my
face with warm water I use my wonder
cloth I don’t
actually wash my face again with
cleanser I just use this to rub all the
gel and get all that off and then I feel
like my skin is clean and prepped and
ready to receive my skincare at this
point I will just blot my face with a
soft microfiber towel I don’t make my
face completely dry I like to leave it
slightly wet because of course damp skin
will absorb your skincare ingredients
better and that’s the name of the game
with skincare is absorption you want the
stuff to get into your skin where it’s
actually going to do some good alright
so let’s start by actually putting on
our treatment products for this we have
to go over to my little mini fridge
which is a new addition to my skincare
routine this year I got this little mini
fridge in the beginning of this summer
and I love the thing as you know vitamin
C which is a big part of my skincare
l-ascorbic acid oxidizes really quickly
when it’s exposed to light and air and
it seems to stay more stable longer if
you keep it in a cool environment and my
medicine chest where I used to keep all
my skincare is in the wall so during the
summer that wall is exposed to the
outside it gets really hot in my
medicine chest and so in order to have
my serums and things last longer I got
this adorable little mini fridge oh my
gosh it feels so great when it’s coming
right out a little fridge and it’s nice
and cold especially in the summer time
especially if you’re menopausal and
having hot flashes alright so now that
I’ve got all my serums and lotions and
potions out of my mini-fridge let me
just go through and put them on in
sequence just so you can see how quick
and easy it is just to get the things on
your skin so the first product that I
use is my timeless 20% C plus E Plus for
uluka acid serum I take five to seven
drops on my fingertips I rub it into my
skin avoiding my eyelids and my lips I
put it everywhere else I put it up
underneath my eyes I want to make sure
that I get this evenly distributed
throughout every particle of my skin
like I see people and their skincare
routines putting stuff on like this I’m
like what is that you’re you’re putting
it on in a spotty way you’re not getting
it into all your skin and also to get
something into your skin to make it
penetrate you got to rub the
stuff I put it up underneath my eyes it
did take me a bit to acclimate to
putting it there if you’re new to my
skincare routine I have a video that you
can watch about how to start with my
skincare routine so that you don’t
overly sensitize and irritate your skin
using all these acids at once I’ll link
that below the video as well as right up
here then I take another five to seven
drops and I treat my neck my chest and
the backs of my hands the next thing I’m
going to put on is the Ordinariate
lactic acid 10% plus h a this is a
change from last year where I was using
the 5% so this one is going to be twice
as strong
so I basically take five to seven drops
of this I put it on my face in the exact
same way avoiding these same areas of my
eyelids and my lips because this is
another acid but I rub that onto the
rest of my face and I keep rubbing until
I feel like the slip is gone and that’s
how I know that it’s all maximally
absorbed this one I can’t put on my neck
because my neck is too sensitive so I
skipped my neck in this step if you have
less sensitive skin than me you could
put it on your neck then I go ahead and
take another five to seven drops and I
put it on my chest and the backs of my
hands then the next step this is a
hydrating serum this is my timeless
coenzyme q10 I do the same with this one
I take five to seven drops this one I
put everywhere on my eyelids on my lips
because those need anti-aging too and I
feel like rubbing this slippery product
also helps to distribute some of the
previous products and get them onto my
eyelids and onto my lips but in a less
sensitizing way then I take another five
or so drops and I put it on my neck
chest and backs of hands then I go in
with my daily moisturizer the one I’ve
been using for years is the Sarah vpm
facial moisturizing lotion I take three
pumps of this and I dab it on my
forehead cheeks chin and my neck and I
rub that in I don’t really put that on
my chest and the backs of my hands
because then I am gonna go ahead and
moisturize my body with my alpha
skincare 12 percent glycolic acid
renewal lotion I’m going to
that on my chest and my hands then I
usually give those a minute or two to
soak in and then I go in with my
sunscreen the sunscreens that I’m using
currently as my everyday go-to sunscreen
is elta MD UV elements SPF 44 I mix in
about a half a pump of Paula’s choice
super light daily wrinkle defense SPF 30
and I mix those together on my
fingertips and then I spread that around
my face and my neck and my ears and I
make sure that everything is covered
with sunscreen I rub that in then I give
that a full 20 minutes to set up and dry
your sunscreen needs to form a Sun
protective film over your face and it
can’t do that if you are then putting
things directly on top of it so it needs
to set up for 15 to 20 minutes and if
that makes it so that you have to switch
around your skincare routine and like
maybe eat breakfast after you put your
sunscreen on or get dressed after you
did put your sunscreen on or do your
hair after you put your sunscreen on
then you know that’s worth it to do to
have your sunscreen set up so it will
protect you the best it possibly can and
now that I’ve got my face washed my new
face treatment done my skincare on and
my sunscreen has set up for 20 minutes I
am ready to go ahead and put on makeup
and go about my day so let’s go back and
talk about each of the products that I
used why I use them I’m gonna put this
all at the back because I know some of
you have heard it many many times and
you already know so the first product
that I use is my timeless 20% C plus E
Plus for Ruling acid serum this is an
Ellis korvac acid based vitamin C serum
vitamin C is an antioxidant so it will
help to brighten the surface of your
skin it will help with discolorations
but the main thing that it does is miss
fights free radicals that break down our
collagen break down our elastin so it
helps to preserve your collagen and your
elastin in your skin this is not the
only product that you can get that in
you can also get that in May love’s the
glow maker this is a 15% vitamin C this
one is 20% I have discount codes on both
of these my timeless
discount code is hf5 off for $5 off on
your order and my male of the globe
maker discount code is a little more
complicated than that so I’m going to
put it in the info box below the video
but 10% plus free shipping if you’re a
first-time user and then some other
stuff so when you’re vitamin C serum
comes in it should be clear or it should
be slightly milky whitish the problem
with any vitamin C serum is that it
oxidizes so you can see this is yellow
this is what oxidized vitamin C serum
looks like and because it’s formulated
at a lower pH it can irritate your skin
it can cause like drying or sensitivity
so you have to be careful where you put
it
I use 3 maybe 4 different acids in my
skincare routine I don’t put any of them
on my eyelids but I use them all
underneath my eyes it did take me a bit
to acclimate to putting it there if
you’re new to my skincare routine I have
a video that you can watch about how to
start with my skincare routine so that
you don’t overly sensitize and irritate
your skin using all these acids at once
I’ll link that below the video as well
as right up here alright then the next
step is my lactic acid serum the one
that I’m currently using is the ordinary
lactic acid 10% plus h a before that I
use the Ordinariate lactic acid 5% plus
h a not only does it help with
exfoliating your skin which is what
alpha hydroxy acids do they exfoliate
and they help to keep the surface of
your skin brighter they help reduce
discolorations and they help to thin out
the outer layer of your skin which is
all dead skin anyway I have sensitive
skin and I have a hard time using alpha
hydroxy acids because they’ll make my
skin red and super sensitive and so I
haven’t been able to work a glycolic
acid into my skincare routine on a daily
basis but I can use lactic acid because
it’s just a little bit gentler and the
lactic acid has also been shown to
increase the ceramide production in your
skin and ceramides are a fatty lipid
that helps your skin look plump and
youthful the next thing I put on is my
timeless coenzyme q10 serum this is a
moisturizing serum that has coq10 which
is another antioxidant like your skin
cells have their own electrical current
they are alive you know they need fuel
and so coq10 is one of the things that
gives them fuel and I think helps them
to act younger this one also contains
Matrixyl 3000 which is a peptide and
that is supposed to work on the signs of
aging is supposed to help to reduce your
wrinkles it’s felt it’s supposed to help
to make your skin look brighter and
firmer it also has hyaluronic acid and
vitamin E everything in my skincare
routine has hyaluronic acid in it but I
don’t use a separate hyaluronic acid
serum you’ll notice but it’s because
everything that I use already has
hyaluronic acid in it now this one is
supposed to be yellow this is like a
milky yellow kind of thing it also is a
very lightweight serum but it’s a little
thicker than the watery serums like the
vitamin C and the lactic acid and so
that’s the order that you put things on
is the lightest to heaviest or sometimes
from most important to least important
then my CeraVe p.m. lotion I’ve been
using this for years I love it it is
like the best low priced drugstore
lotion it’s like 15 dollars for 3 ounces
but it contains a big boost of
niacinamide this is another antioxidant
that has also been proven to work in
your skin niacinamide is such a great
ingredient it helps to reduce the look
of your pores it helps to brighten the
skin and reduce discolorations it helps
to reduce your wrinkles and in here it’s
the fourth ingredient so I love it that
it’s at the top then the other thing
that this contains our ceramides it also
contains hyaluronic acid which is
another great thing to help to make your
skin look plumper and help to reduce the
look of your fine lines and wrinkles
then for the sunscreens I use I use
mineral sunscreens for my face as I said
my skin is very sensitive and when I
first started using like Retin A and
vitamin C I noticed that my skin was
burning every day when I put on my
chemical sunscreen and I stopped using
my vitamin C serum and then I figured
out later that it was the sunscreen that
was causing the burning and that I could
in fact use vitamin C and retin-a if I
just switched to a mineral sunscreen and
this is more of a hydrating sunscreen
this one
also does contain some antioxidants it
has hyaluronic acid its water-resistant
to 40 minutes
this guy has 10% zinc oxide and 5.5
percent
titanium dioxide the polished choice has
13% zinc oxide no titanium dioxide those
two mixed together really well the
reason that I mix them is just because
they’re both tinted and the tint on this
one is slightly dark for me the tint on
this one is slightly light and cool for
me so mixing these two it gives me the
perfect color and I love the combination
together and they work great under
makeup now one of the questions that I
always get asked a lot is when do I put
on primer before or after my sunscreen
primer definitely goes on after your
sunscreen primer is part of your makeup
routine and sunscreen is part of your
skincare routine and so that’s it for
