Quick & Easy Anti-Aging Skincare Routine – The Essentials!
[Music]
hey everybody is Angie and welcome to
huntin fleshie in today’s video I’m
going to do a pared down quick easy
version of my anti-aging skincare
routine my anti-aging skincare is based
around choosing anti-aging active
ingredients that have been proven to
work and the really are a handful of
ingredients that have been proven to
work with independent scientific studies
so those are the ones that are really
going to concentrate on today in my
normal skincare routine which I’ll put a
link to right here because it does it
will show you kind of a before and after
of me four years ago to today if you
want to see what I look like without
makeup on and see how my skin has
improved through skincare you can take a
look at that video let’s start in with
the morning skincare routine the first
thing you would do of course is wash
your face I do believe in washing your
face every day but I don’t believe in
using a harsh detergent the one that I
love the most is the CeraVe hydrating
cleanser this is a great cleanser to use
morning and night I will just put a pop
of this on my hands and rub it around my
face and rinse this contains ceramide
glycerine and hyaluronic acid all of
which are moisturizing and help your
skin’s natural protective oil barrier to
stay in place so it doesn’t have any
harsh detergent in it that’s going to
strip your skin I think stripping your
skin is one of the worst things you can
do when you’re anti aging so I think
really gentle cleansers are the way to
go an alternative for that which is
lovely and more natural is the mad hippy
cream cleanser this contains jojoba oil
green tea macadamia oil and orchid
extract when you get up in the morning
your skin isn’t really that dirty but
start your day fresh with a nice clean
face the other reason I like to wash
make this morning is because that skin
is more absorbent than dry skin and so
you want those anti-aging actives to
really absorb well into your skin so
even if you don’t want to wash your face
in the morning just a little splash of
water don’t thoroughly dry it just had
it so it’s still a little bit damp is
all you need to do so then the morning
product that I would recommend most
highly is a vitamin C serum the one that
I use and love is by timeless it’s their
twenty percent C plus E Plus fruit acid
serum vitamin C is an
antioxidant spikes free radical damage
free radicals are unstable molecules
that are generated by exposure to the
Sun and pollution and they basically go
around in your skin kind of breaking
down the scaffolding the collagen and
the elastin that keeps your skin plump
and youthful looking so an antioxidant
is a great thing to use you would
basically take a couple of drops on your
fingers rub it all around your face
avoiding the eyelids and the mouth
everything that I put on I put on my
face and put on my neck I put on my
chest and I put on the back of my hand
now this can also be used at night but
where I use my retinoid at night you’re
not going to use a retinoid then this is
probably better to use at night in your
nighttime routine for the next step I
would just top that off with a
moisturizer
I just put my products on rapid fire I
don’t wait between my products because I
want them to be absorbed in my favorite
moisturizer to use in the morning is the
CeraVe PM facial moisturizing lotion I
know it says p.m. but I use in the
morning simply because it does not
contain a sunscreen so I like to use a
separate mineral based sunscreen this
contains niacinamide it contains
ceramides it contains hyaluronic acid
glycerine so this has a nice mix of
anti-aging products that really help the
moisture barrier of your skin stay
intact better help to moisturize your
skin help to make your wrinkles look
less wrinkly if you are looking to save
a step and combine your moisturizer with
your sunscreen therapy does make an a.m.
version of this it contains a mix of
chemical and mineral sunscreens mainly
zinc oxide which is a great sunscreening
ingredient and octonauts eight but it
has all that other good stuff in there
that I just mentioned I don’t have it
right here to show it to you but I’ll
link it below as well so then the last
step in your morning skincare routine if
you’re not using the combo moisturizer
and sunscreen would be to put on your
sunscreen sunscreen is the most
important preventative thing that you
can use for your skin as it ages and one
of the ones that I use and recommend and
love is the hydro peptide solar defense
this is an SPF 30 all mineral sunscreen
it looks very natural on the skin it
works really well under make
and it’s got a lot of great anti-aging
ingredients in it already
this one has us ie green tea aloe
hyaluronic acid and go long de another
nice sunscreen option from the drugstore
is Neutrogena sheer zinc base dry touch
SPF 50 this is an all mineral based
sunscreen and it’s probably ten or
eleven dollars at the drugstore so you
know if you really can’t pull the
trigger on these fifty dollar hydro
peptide oh my gosh there are options at
the drugstore it won’t be quite as
elegant and will look as great but as
long as you’re going to cover it up with
makeup it will do the job for you the
sunscreen does need to set up for like
15 to 20 minutes before you put on
makeup to make sure that you’re really
getting the full protection out of it so
then I’ll usually during my hair or you
know finish getting dressed so that is
the entire morning skincare routine so
moving on to the night skincare routine
whether you wear makeup or not is
important to wash your face at night
because of course your skin is exposed
to pollutants and if you have makeup on
you need to get that up as well so again
in the evening I would recommend the
same cleanser that you chose for the
morning rather than using a separate
makeup remover I think these both work
great and just removing makeup so the
trick and the way to do it is to not
splash your face with water first it’s
just to take like a couple of pumps of
this on your drying hand rub it into
your dry face these are so mild and
gentle
I even rub them at the base of my
eyelashes to get my mascara off and they
really melt the makeup away you splash
that with water that I use the Wonder
cloth I love this little guy you just
wet this you rub it around your face the
makeup comes off on it this rinse is
clean you can just throw it in the wash
again I just Pat my face dry and then
it’s time for my retinoid so retinoids
are the gold standard of anti-aging I
use a prescription retinoid the one that
i use is a tretinoin it’s generic this
is otherwise known as like retin-a
because retinoids are so strong there is
a strong reaction in your skin there’s a
lot of peeling there can be burning
there can be itching so you need to ease
into these very very slowly I do have a
video on how to get started with
prescription retinoids without any
irritation I’ll put the link to that
right here in case you want to take a
look at that one I didn’t really see
results with it until I was on it for
over a year now that it’s been four
years the results are amazing I will
never be without it I love it and I am
up at the strongest strength I started
at the 0.05% and I worked my way up to
the one if you don’t want to go to your
doctor and get this you don’t want to
get a prescription go through the whole
pharmacy thing there is an
over-the-counter alternative it’s a
vitamin a derivative much like tretinoin
is and it is an acne medication that
used to be available by prescription
only and is now available
over-the-counter and that one is called
different gels I picked this up at CVS
it’s just in with the acne medications
again very very strong stuff so if you
don’t feel like doing these an
alternative is to go with
over-the-counter retinol a couple of
over-the-counter retinol products that I
really do like we serve a skin renewing
cream serum so there’s a good retinol
cream because it uses a time-release
delivery method so that you will
hopefully have less irritation from the
retinol if you do have education from
retinol so that’s a great one to try
another one that I’ve tried recently is
body marry retinol surge moisturizer it
contains hyaluronic acid vitamin A which
is the retinol vitamin E and b5 and
green tea so this has a lot of other
nice anti-aging accent so basically you
would select one of these retinoid
products whether it was over-the-counter
or prescription you would take a tiny
pea sized amount of any one of them you
really don’t need to be slathering on a
ton of retinol products because it can
be irritating you just dotted around
your face rub it in avoid your eye area
and the corners of your mouth and the
edges of your nose you can put it on
your necks but be careful your neck can
be even more sensitive in your face use
it on your chest and your back of the
hand then right after that I go ahead
and put on a moisturizer so that my skin
can stay moisturized and nice overnight
when I sleep and it’s with pairing down
the skincare routine I would just use
the surra BPM again so this is going to
be doing double duty as your morning
moisturizer and your evening moisturizer
again ceramide hyaluronic
niacinamide which helps with skin cell
turnover it helps to reduce the look of
your pores it helps to reduce the look
your wrinkles so that’s the paradigm
skincare routine doing those three or
four steps in the morning and three
steps at night should save you a lot of
money you should save you a lot of time
