Morning Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Routine ~ OVER 50!
[Music]
hey everybody its Angie and welcome to
huntin fleshie in today’s video I was
going to go over my winter anti-aging
skincare routine you know when the
temperatures get colder and the heat
comes on inside the air is so very dry
and your skin can be too if you’re new
to my channel and you don’t know that
much about me I am 55 years old so I’m
an actual mature person giving you
skincare advice here but I’m not an
expert I’m not a doctor dermatologist a
chemist an esthetician this is the
skincare routine that I have come to use
over the last four or five years I’ve
kind of done in live experiment with my
own skin on YouTube and these are the
products that work so well for me and
I’ve helped to really turn back the
hands of time I was a Sun worshipper for
like 35 years and so I don’t come at
this from a standpoint of already having
perfect skin and so I just wanted to
quickly bring in a little
before-and-after here this is me when I
started my youtube channel five years
ago before I had done anything for my
skin at all with the exception of using
Botox in my 11s now that I’m using the
skincare routine for a long time I find
that I need to I feel the need to get
Botox less and less frequently so I used
to get it every three months like
clockwork because mine would wear off in
ten to twelve weeks now I find that even
though it’s wearing off in ten to twelve
weeks I don’t get it for like five or
six months
I waited actually to do this video till
now so that my Botox would be worn off
and so as you can see by my ability to
scowl and smile and make crow’s feet and
everything curves beats and make crow’s
feet and everything when I smile that I
don’t have any Botox in currently I
haven’t done any fillers in three years
so whatever fillers I had done they are
completely gone now and so what you’re
seeing is mainly the result of this
skincare routine I have combo skin I
have a little bit of oil in my t-zone
the rest of my face is normal but I do
tend to get dry around my mouth and chin
area so what I concentrate on for
anti-aging is antioxidants and peptides
in my morning skincare routine along
with moisturizers because those are the
ingredients that have the most research
behind them that
the most proven to help with anti-aging
and that are great to use during the day
alright first step in the morning is to
wash my face I use CeraVe hydrating
cleanser I’ve used this for years this
is a very gentle hydrating cleanser at
this point in the game especially with
it being winter I feel like hydration is
the key to everything keeping your skin
hydrated keeps it looking and acting
younger the CeraVe cleanser contains
ceramides and glycerin so it’s very
moisturizing it doesn’t have any
detergent or soap in it so it doesn’t
strip your moisture barrier also
fragrance free soap free and sulfate
free but it does contain parabens and I
know some people are concerned about
parabens in their skincare so a paraben
free alternative to that that is very
very similar is the LA roche-posay tour
Lane hydrating gentle cleanser this one
is so pre-sell fête free oil free
fragrance free non comedogenic allergy
tested and paraben free I just put one
squirt of this into my hands rub it on
my face I rinse with lukewarm water this
time of year my skin tends to be a
little bit flaky I’ll just take my
wonder cloth and I just rub my face when
it’s damp
it’s very exfoliating and I use this now
morning and night at night it’s great
for removing my makeup so you’ll see
that in part two of my skincare routine
which will be up next week the evening
portion though I have gotten really into
using a gadget this year this is the new
face this is a microcurrent toning
device the wavelength of the current
that it uses kind of matches the
electrical current that your cells
communicate with and so it helps to give
your cells energy and I love this guy
I’ve done a couple of videos on using
this and my results with it and so I use
this every day and I’ve been using it
for about nine months now and so people
wanted to see me incorporate it into my
skincare routine I use this right after
I wash my face in the morning because if
you have any oil on your skin it won’t
conduct the electrical current as well
so your face should be clean now this
comes with a gel that you’re supposed to
use with it I use up the gel that came
with it and then I go out and buy
another gel the gel that I like to use
is the up-and-up brand 97% pure aloe
vera gel of Europe mine just suggested
that instead of using gel you could just
use water and so I
been using water lately and I really
like it much better than using the gel
so I’m just showing you the gel for
people who want to use the gel the gel
does make the treatment a little more
comfortable you can’t feel the current
running through your skin when you use
the gel when you use the water you can
feel it it is a little like electrical
feeling I actually kind of like the
feeling it lets me know that it is in
fact shooting current into my skin which
I really dig it so what I do is after I
wash my face I rinse it and then I just
let the water dribble off and go through
my routine so I’ll show you this new
face routine and speed it up motion Here
I am going to be doing a video pretty
soon showing you my full routine with it
with the original head and the two
attachments you can get and giving you
my assessment of whether the attachments
are worth it or not so that takes about
five minutes and then I repeat on the
other side so now if I had used the gel
now I would have to wash my face because
the gel leaves like a coating on that
you have to wash off afterwards I leave
my face slightly damp so I just Pat it
off very gently I do not wait for it to
dry before I go in with my first serum
which is timeless 20% C plus E Plus Peru
like acid serum I’ve been using this for
five years now and for me this is the
best vitamin C serum
there are hundreds and thousands of C
serums on the market the problem with
most of them is they’re not formulated
in a way that the vitamin C will
actually get into your skin or that it
will be active in your skin l ascorbic
acid which is the form of vitamin C that
is in here that’s the one that is proven
with science to be the most effective is
a very unstable molecule and it will
oxidize and turn yellow over time so you
want to make sure that you have nice
fresh vitamin C serum this is what it
should look like when you first get it
nice and clear this color means it’s
oxidized see I put my vitamin C serum
over my entire face my neck my chest the
backs of my hands I avoid putting acids
on my eyelids and on my lips so vitamin
C is an antioxidant it helps to fight
the free radicals that are generated in
our skin it will help to reduce the look
of discolorations like brown spots and
age spots it helps to make
skin look a little bit clearer will help
to brighten your skin I have a timeless
discount code it’s hf5 off in case
you’re interested they do ship
internationally so the next item is the
ordinary lactic acid 5% plus hyaluronic
acid 2% this is an alpha hydroxy acid
much like glycolic acid I have a hard
time using glycolic acid it’s a little
too harsh for my skin so lactic acid is
a bigger molecule than glycolic and so
it’s a little more gentle on the skin
because not as much of it gets absorbed
and alternative to that that I also like
is the Colleen Rothschild mandelic acid
radiance serum this contains lactic acid
and mandelic acid so if the glycolic
acid or lactic acid is too harsh for
your skin this is another alternative to
use because this will be even milder it
is important to exfoliate and the way to
get dead skin off the surface is to use
a chemical exfoliant like an alpha
hydroxy acid because it really is kind
of that older dead skin layer that makes
your skin look dull that makes your skin
look more wrinkled and so something like
this will help to reduce the look of
fine lines reduce the look of wrinkles
and will also brighten and help your
skin to have that lip from within glow
since this is an acid like the vitamin C
serum I put this on the same places my
entire face avoiding my eyelids and my
lips down my neck my chest and the backs
of my hands the next thing that I put on
is my timeless coenzyme q10 serum it’s
not just a one-trick pony
this has coq10 and it also has Matrixyl
3000 which is a peptide coenzyme q10
also known as ubiquinone is another
antioxidant and Matrixyl 3000 has been
shown to help with collagen production
and reduce the look of lines and
wrinkles as well I use five or six drops
of this I spread it over my entire face
this time I include my eyelids and my
lips of course neck chest and backs of
hands as well so the next step is to
seal all that goodness in with a great
moisturizer the one that I’ve been using
for years is CeraVe p.m. facial
moisturizing lotion this one contains
niacin amide and ceramides and these are
two more anti-aging ingredients that
have been proven with lots of studies to
work to help skin look
under niacinamide helps to brighten skin
it helps with skin cell turnover and it
actually helps to reduce fine lines and
wrinkles and age spots
ceramides are fatty lipids that already
exist in your skin but as with
everything they diminish with aging so I
use like three pumps of this and I
spread this all over my entire face
including eyelids and lips and you also
have to do your neck and chest the backs
of your hands so that’s a great
moisturizer I absolutely love that one
this being a CeraVe product also
contains parabens so I wanted to show
you an alternative to that this is the
Peter Thomas Roth water drench
hyaluronic cloud creme hydrating
moisturizer and it contains glycerin and
ceramides yeast extract hyaluronic acid
this is definitely more spending than
the CeraVe so that’s my four steps for
treating my skin in the morning and then
the last step of course is prevention
one of the most important things you can
do to anti age your skin starting at any
age is to use sunscreen so of course I
do every day
my favorite sunscreen is Australian gold
botanical sunscreen tinted face fifty
mineral lotion this is an awesome
sunscreen but it can be a little bit
drying for the winter months I tend to
use the hydro peptide solar defence non
tinted broad-spectrum SPF 50 this is a
much more moisturizing sunscreen this
contains antioxidants and hyaluronic
acid and so I’ll either use this one on
its own or I will mix these two together
because this one is spendy I’ll use this
one alone on my neck and my chest and
then I put this on the back of my hands
and I use the backs of my hands to rub
them together and since our skincare
doesn’t stop at the chest the things
that I use on my body every day to help
anti age as well and fight dry skin and
that itchy skin during the winter is the
Alpha skincare renewal body lotion 12
percent glycolic acid I did a video
comparing how glycolic acid skin cream
work versus a retinol skin cream and the
glycolic acid this one in particular one
hands-down at relieving me of that
crepey looking skin and really made the
skin all over my body especially my
knees and elbows look years younger
this contains petrolatum glycolic ass
glycerine and mineral oil so this is a
very heavy-duty moisturizing cream but I
was looking up the research on glycolic
acid you know on skin and it turns out
that a combination of glycolic acid and
retinol is a really good combo and works
better than either one alone so I’ve
also worked in this advanced clinicals
retinol advanced firming cream so I kind
of do a squeeze of these both in my
hands and mix them together and then
slather the whole rest of my body with
it and it helps to keep my skin not
being itchy and dry and crepey and
looking nice there are a few supplements
that I take year-round to help with my
skin one is my coenzyme q10 supplement
and then I also take a fish oil that’s
full of omega-3 fatty acids that is
really good for your skin and your
joints and your connective tissues and
everything so I take those two year
round in the winter I add in sports
research phytoceramides skin hydration I
don’t really need this in the summer
months or in the spring so I really only
take this from September till March does
take it a couple months for me to start
feeling the effects in my skin and
helping it to be less dry I buy these on
Amazon and I buy a lot of my stuff on
Amazon actually if you’re shopping today
