hi my name is melissa van dijk and in this video i’m going to share with you an effective anti-aging evening skincare routine using the ordinary products and i’m also going to share with you a brief and simple overview of each product and also what it can do for your skin so that you also understand how this skincare routine can be beneficial for you and then i’m also going to include a demonstration where i’m going through it step by step and show you how you can also use those products on your face so that if you have those products at home or you want to get them you also know how you can apply them and use them so let’s have a look at what the evening skincare routine looks like so we are going to start off with an hydroxy acid cleanser with four to ten percent of glycolic acid in it then we are going to move on to the ordinary hyaluronic acid 2 plus b5 and then we are going to finish it off with the ordinary connective retinoid two percent emulsion or the two or five percent in squalane but if you’re new to retinoids always start off with the lowest strength available now what are the benefits of hydroxy acids for the skin well accelerated cell cycle increase collagen production increased hyaluronic acid improved skin tone and texture and improved skin hydration and what are the benefits of hyaluronic acid and vitamin b5 well hyaluronic acid can help you with hydration hyaluronic acid can also give it a plumbing effect and the vitamin b5 helps with skin repair now the benefits of retinoids are that it’s going to improve the skin texture it reduces the wrinkles and fine lines and it can help with acne and skin pigmentation issues now i will link all the sources in the description box down below so that you also can read those articles in your own time now for cleansers i can recommend the facetory clarifying cleanser which is great if you have a combination to oily skin type or the skinceuticals glycolic renewal cleanser gel which is great for every skin type and those are also great hydroxy acids cleansers so now that you also saw how those products can be beneficial for your skin concerns let’s also put this into practice so this is a simple evening skincare routine but still i wanted to show you step by step how you can also use and also apply those products to your face so that you have a proper application and that you also won’t come across any issues and as already mentioned we’re going to start off with step number one which is washing the face with hydroxy acid cleanser and i also gave you two recommendations the first one is by face theory the clarifying cleanser and the second one is the skin surgical glycolic acid cleanser now in my am anti-aging skincare routine i’ve used already the face theory clarifying cleanser which you can also check out this video by the end of this video and with this one it’s important that you’re also going to leave it on the skin for a minute before rinsing it off with water whereas with this one you’re going to apply it on red skin massage it onto the skin and then rinse it off with water there’s no need to also leave it on the skin what i wanted to teach you with this is also that it doesn’t matter what cleanser you have at home please make sure to also read the directions on how you should use your cleanser so that you’re also going to use it correctly and that you also can remove any excess oil dirt makeup that skin cells etc so that you also will get most out of each product now with this cleanser it’s also important that you’re going to avoid the eye area as well as the mouth area and you’re going to apply it on a wet skin which i’m also going to do then use a small amount massage it onto the skin and then rinse it with water so and now you’re also ready to rinse it off with water if you want to use in between a cloth which you’re going to wet then that’s totally fine this also may be easier for you to also remove most of the cleanser and then or rinse it off completely with water and then pat the skin dry with a towel so and now take a fresh total and pat the skin dry so now we can also move on to the next product which is also applying the ordinary hyaluronic acid now with the hyaluronic acid of the ordinary it doesn’t matter if you’re going to apply it on dry on damp skin it also won’t change the efficacy of the product if you want to know exactly why i also can link you the video in the top right corner what’s really important with the hyaluronic acid is that you are going to use about one to three drops and i wouldn’t recommend using too much because when also using the hyaluronic acid and then later on the retinoid it’s important that you have no leftovers of the hyaluronic acid on your face so it really should be able to fully soak into the skin so that you also won’t have residue left on your skin and that you also won’t come across any issues and so for me two drops are just enough then use it between your hands and pat it on top of your skin face and neck area now while applying it the hyaluronic acid may feel a bit sticky but when you’re giving it just a tiny bit more of time until you also can feel that it has fully soaked into the skin it shouldn’t feel sticky at all it just should feel dry and you also want like shouldn’t feel any residue on top of the skin this way you also noticed that you have used enough and not too much so now i have applied it all over the face and you’re going to leave it on the skin there’s no need to wash it off and now we can also move on to the next product which is also the ordinary connective retinoid two percent in emulsion that’s one that i personally really like and with this one it’s important that when using it or you’re just getting a new one you can also use it directly use one two three drops for the entire face and neck area and then also put it in the fridge it’s really important with the ordinary retinoids or retinols that you’re going to put them in the fridge after you have opened them again use about one to three drops and i’m going to stick with two and then again apply it evenly all over your face and neck area so and you also will notice if you have also used the right amount of hyaluronic acid and the granective retinoid or any of the other retinoids originals that are now he has is basically that you also will notice that you won’t come across any issues when it also comes to the application if you used the right amount of hydronic acid you won’t have any issues applying the retinoid then later on on top and so this is already what the anti-aging evening skincare routine looks like it is pretty simple and straightforward i still wanted to show you step by step how you can use the products so that you also will have a proper application now so i do hope that you enjoyed this video and if you did so don’t forget to give the thumbs up as well as share it and i will see you soon in the next one bye you
