Retin-A for Anti-Aging | How to Use it Properly & Minimize Side Effects
hey guys and welcome to today’s video we
are talking today all about one of the
number one anti-aging products and that
you could use we are talking all about
these guys right here the red nays the
tretinoin whatever you want to call them
a retina and shred one is the exact same
thing we’re going to be talking about
all these guys today and how you can use
them to get the best benefits for your
skin without all the irritation and
possible side effects that can come
along with using these so as many of you
know or in case you agree to my channel
I’ve worked with a facial cosmetic
surgeon for many years and he has always
prescribed a retinas for his patients
for their skin because it’s just so
beneficial for aging skin and just
keeping your skin fresh and looking its
best
I have personally used them for many
years as well we also carry the retinas
on premiere look and I answer so so many
questions all the time about how to use
retinas so I figured I’m just going to
dive into that topic today and just help
you all out with how to get the best
benefits without all that irritating
side effects that can come along so if
you want to stick around and see my tips
and tricks with retin-a then just keep
on watching
okay so first and foremost it comes in
three different strengths it comes in a
lower dose of 0.025 that is the lowest
dose and then there is 0.05 which is the
medium and the point 1 which is the
highest strength now tip number 1 is
going to be start at the bottom and work
your way to the top it is not going to
give you a more effective results any
quicker if you start at the highest
because it’s just what do I rotate the
crap out of your skin you really want to
work your way up and that is a key
component to getting the most benefit
out of this prize a lot of times if
people start you know too high too soon
they end up quitting and then you’re not
getting any benefits so you want to
start either at the point go to 5 where
a lot of people can start at the 0.05 if
you have more sensitive skin definitely
start with the lowest and if you just
have more normal skin thicker skin you
can definitely start at the 0.05 and you
will be fine but definitely you don’t
want to start with the point one you
really want to work your way up and
strength okay so the next tip
for you guys is wait at least 30 minutes
after washing your face to apply your
retin-a you never want to apply this to
damp skin you really want to make sure
your skin is a bona dry before applying
a retin-a if you apply Renee on damp
skin or even not skin that is super
super dry you will definitely get more
irritation and redness in your skin when
your skin is damp it absorbs products
very very fast and you don’t want this
to be absorbed superfast into damp skin
you really want your skin to be super
dry and I always wait about thirty
minutes before I put my retin-a on after
I wash my face I usually wash my face on
the nights I do run day and then I go
and watch TV for a little bit and then
come back up later and then put my
retin-a on so I always wait at least 30
minutes before apply my Renee after I
wash my face so another key tip with
using retin-a is you don’t want to apply
too much a lot of people just rub it all
over their skin thinking the more the
better but you really don’t need that
much the more you put on the more
chances of having some irritation is
going to be you only need like a
pea-sized amount and what I do is I just
squirts them on my finger and then I
just apply some to each like point of my
face and then I just rub it in you don’t
need to slather all over your skin like
a moisturizer or anything like that just
keep it to a pea-sized amount dab one
little dot on each you know corner of
your face and then rub those little dot
in and that is all you need and speaking
of rubbing in the retin-a you can
actually Pat a little bit around your
eyes again you will see a little bit of
dryness and stuff around that eye area
but your skin will adjust and it is
perfectly fine to to use around the eyes
just be extra cautious about the dryness
and just use a good eye cream and
moisturize and you’ll be fine okay so
the next thing is to make sure that you
use your retin-a only at night vitamin A
which is what retina is is actually
broken up by UV rays so if you use it
during the day it’s just not going to be
as effective anyway but it also makes
the sun’s rays more harmful to your skin
because what the retina is doing to your
skin is its overturning all those skin
cells that’s why you get the dryness and
the flaking because it’s just helping to
overturn the skin cells as we get older
our skin does not overturn those skin
cells as quickly as it did when we get
young so the retina is what really helps
keep that younger healthier skin but
while it is overturning those skin cells
you are getting constant fresh skin to
the surface which you need to protect
from the Sun so you always want to use
an SPF with your retin-a at night
without an SPF at night where you want
to use an SPF during the day when you
are using Rennais use an SPF every
single day anyway but definitely if you
are using Renee at night always apply
SPF it’s just so important to protect
that new skin that’s coming to the
surface so we talked about starting with
a lower strength and working your way up
but I also want to mention that with any
strength that you choose to start with
whether it be the 0.025 or the 0.05 you
really want to make sure that you’re not
applying it every single night to start
out with you want to really work your
way up to more nights and what I usually
tell people is when you are starting a
retin-a you really want to start with
only one or two nights a week at the
most a lot of people start with one
night and you just really want to do
that for a good four weeks it start with
one or two nights for a month and then
what you want to do is add another night
at that monthly mark and then do that
for another month and then add another
night and work your way up to more
nights now I personally don’t ever use a
retin-a every single night I always use
one every other night so that is what I
personally like to do I like to mix in
other products on the other night but I
definitely have worked my way up to get
into that every other night mark so
another thing that can really help you
when you’re using a retin-a is to really
moisturize your skin a lot of people
don’t know if they should moisturize
their skin after using a retin-a or not
and you totally 100% can use a
moisturizer after your retin-a I do a
lot of nights as well but what you want
to do to get the most out of your rende
again is just like I said how you wait
30 minutes after you wash your face to
apply your Rennae you want to wait
another 30 minutes after your retin-a to
apply a moisturizer you really want to
give your skin time to fully absorb that
retin-a let it soak into your skin with
nothing else on top and then 30 minutes
later you’re going to apply a serum a
moisturizer or whatever you want to help
moisturize your skin and counteract any
dryness you can definitely do that okay
so my last and final tip for you guys
for using retin-a is you really want to
be careful with other parts that you’re
using with a retin-a there certain
products you do not want to use at the
exact
time as a redneck you want to make sure
you keep away from the glycolic acids
the salicylic acids the lactic acids
anything like that you do not want to
use before applying your retin-a like I
never use mine like policies washes with
my glycolic toners or my Sunita’s Braden
peel pads before a retin-a when I use my
rent a night I keep everything very
gentle on that night I use my gentle
cleanser I use a my gentle toner then I
apply my red nay and then you know if I
want to apply a moisturizer later than I
do but everything you want to keep very
gentle no other products that are going
to exfoliate your skin like like polyps
or anything like that you can use those
products in the morning if your skin can
handle it but nothing at the same time
as your right name okay guys that is it
those are my tips and tricks for getting
the most out of your retin-a with the
least amount of irritation and side
