I’ve decided to finally get serious about my aging skin. Growing up on the water did not do my skin any favors. I wouldn’t trade those days but my facial skin would disagree. I mean, who didn’t “lay out” with some baby oil with iodine slathered on?
While I’ve been told my skin looks great for my age, I can certainly see the damage creeping in. I work both day and night shifts and that also doesn’t help. I’ve been using Retin-A 0.05% intermittently for a while. When I’m using regularly, my skin does look so much better. I will get more religious about using it and adding to that. When I’m well-rested, super hydrated and on a good exercise routine and getting my blood pumping, my skin loves that, too!
Thanks for doing all of the leg-work for so many of us. I’m really looking forward to getting on track with a regiment that doesn’t break the bank!

Hi Angie! I have learned too much from you, I use your am and pm regimen, however, using your fav, the Chanel Perfection Luiere Velvet, it really soaks into my skin and scrubbing it off with the Cera Vie Facial Cleanser just does not clean my skin enough. Any suggestions?? I just watched your video on Curology and just ordered it, can’t wait to try it.
LOVE LOVE your tutorials, how about one “Get Quick for the Gym” look???? (It would be nice to have a very neutral look to apply, and then could dress up for eve later) thanks Angie! Karen

  Hi Karen~ I’m working on a new makeup removing video that’ll be up in about a week or two but in the mean time, I’m really liking Clinique Cleansing Balm to remove stubborn makeup/susncreen as the 1st step in a 2 step cleanse followed by the CeraVe. Here’s a link for the Clinique Balm: http://bit.ly/2LgwG4j Thanks for the tutorial request, I’ll get on it! I hope you like the Curology!! xo ~angie

Hi Angie! On the night that you do the babyfacial, does that replace the retin a or do you do it at the end? Does the rest of the routine stay the same? Thanks!

  I don’t use Retin-A or the rest of my skincare on the night I do the DE Babyfacial. It comes with Marula oil to apply after.

I just started following your blog and love it! After watching this video I am interested in the pillow. I looked at it on your amazon store, but it does not say whether it comes with a pillow case. If not, what do you use?

  The wedge comes with a removable/washable cover so no pillowcase needed. I stack a couple of pillows on top of it to sleep.

I just discovered your blog, you look amazing! You look 10 years younger! I haver so much to read and learn here. Didd you do any special treatments like botox or happy lift or hylauron? I would like to keep my expectations realistic :-). Keep up the great work.

  I’m so happy you found me! At 55 with lots of sun damage it’s hard to look younger without some interventions!! It’s all here on my blog though so if you look under the “Anti-Aging Skincare” tab you can find lots of info. Basically, I do botox regularly (although I let it wear off from time to time for experiments with other things), I’ve had filler a couple of times but it’s all worn off too now. I’ve had a series of IPLs and 1 Fraxel Dual Laser Treatment. Nothing surgical so far. Having realistic expectations, you’re already a step ahead of the game! xo ~angie

Hi Angie,

I’m 38 with dry skin/ sensitive and have never used a retinoid. I purchased most of your recommendations, but am not sure what to use when since I don’t use a retinoid. I have the vitamin c timeless, matrixel synthetic, co q 10, and the ordinary lactic acid. The toner, cleanser, moisturizer and CeraVe oil (love it) I’ve got pretty well handled, just not sure when to use the serums and how much per day and dose. Thank you for your videos….skin changer. Looking forward to my 40’s and 50’s

  Hi Eleeka~ Since you don’t use a retinoid, you could use the vitamin C serum or the ordinary lactic acid at night instead of in the morning. It would take the place of the tretinoin in my evening routine. xo ~angie

Hi Angie!

What do you think about the sunscreen in most of the foundations out in the market right now? Is it enough to protect a 2-year tretinoin-treated skin? My skin looks ugly with physical sunscreen and gets irritated with chemical kind of sunscreen! sunscreen just doesn’t fit in right in my makeup if I want it coming out right and nice. Help!

  Hi Nadine~ The sunscreen in foundation isn’t enough to protect your skin because people use about one quarter of the amount that they need to get the SPF protection stated on the label. Say your foundation has an SPF of 30 and you use 1 pump (about 1/16th of a teaspoon) then you’re actually getting an SPF of 7.5 which is not going to protect your tretinoin-treated skin or any skin for that matter. It sounds like you need to find a better mineral sunscreen. Here’s my post on the best all-mineral sunscreens that also look great under makeup: http://www.hotandflashy50.com/best-mineral-sunscreens-no-white-cast-good-under-makeup/

Hi Angie, I would like to try your recommendations, but I have rosacea. To give you an idea of my skin’s sensitivity, I use Tretinoin .025 and plan to start .05 since my skin has tolerated it well. Also, I’ve used Obagi Nu Derm for 4 months and had 2 Obagi chemical peels.

Although my skin adapted to these strong skincare treatments, I’m wondering whether transitioning to your routine might cause reddening, at least temporarily. I’d like to know if you have any advice about whether to start all the products at once or gradually. Thanks!

  Hi Sara~ With rosacea you should be careful when changing or starting new skincare. I’d recommend consulting a dermatologist, or at minimum starting one product at a time so if it causes any problems you’d know who was the culprit. xo ~angie

  The best bet with OTC would be Differin Gel. You can get it in the acne aisle at drugstores.

    I saw that you recommended that on another post so I tried that and I really like it. I went to the dermatologist to get a prescription but she wouldn’t give me one. I am 37 and she thought my skin looked good without it. She wanted me to try the OTC products they sell first. The differin is stronger than what they had and I haven’t had a reaction. Thank you for posting your skincare routine. I bought everything you recommended and have folllowed it for 2 weeks. I have noticed a HUGE difference. My skin looks amazing!!! I’m going to buy myself the nuface for my birthday and I can’t wait to add that to my routine. You are amazing and I love your blog!!!

Thank you so much for both of these videos. I’ve decided that this year I WILL start taking better care of my skin! I’d like to start using many of the product you suggest in you videos, but I’ll have to add them to my routine slowly due to a limited budget. Where would you suggest I start? Are there one or two products that you think make the biggest difference?

  I’d start with Retin-A, CeraVe PM Lotion and Sunscreen, then you an add in Vitamin C serum, CoQ10, Matrixyl, & Lactic acid over time.

Hi, I am currently using Retrieve 0.05 retin A cream nightly. I use Skin Ceuticals C & E in the morning and Zelens Z luminous which has niacamide in it after, with a Zelens moisturiser on top and La roshe Posay Spf50 on top of that. Can you tell me if I can use a moisturiser with niacamide in it after the retin A cream and also when should I use AHA/BHA’s. I am 50 now. I am thinking of trying the Zo medical or obaiga Nu-derm line. Any thought on this range or on my routine.

Thanks G

  Your skincare routine sounds good! You can use a moisturizer with niacinamide in it after the Retin-A cream. To add in an AHA you can do the Drunk Elephant Sukari Baby Facial Peel once a week (I’d skip the Retin-A on that night), or use a glycolic acid toner or serum in the morning between the Vitamin c serum & moisturizer…

Can you layer retin- a, then Coenzyme q10, then Matryxl synthe at night? I’ve tried using both coenzyme q10 and matryxl synthe in the morning routine after the vitamin c serum, but either one makes my skin look oily during the day. I’d still like to incorporate it into my routine.

Hi Angie –

Thank you so much for all you do! My sister who is 9 years older than me turned me onto your anti-aging routine. Within 6 months of following your am and pm routines, my 47 YO skin has improved more than I ever expected it could! I look forward to continuing to see the benefits.

One question for you – I recall you adding in The Ordinary Resvesterol 3% and Ferulic Acid 3% after Matrixyl at PM. But I’m not seeing it on the video or on the printable guide. Any reason why you dropped it?
Thank you!
Mary

  There needs to be more research on Differin for anti-aging… right now there’s speculation that it can be much like Retin-A but they’re not sure. So if you can get a prescription for Retin-A, that would be my first choice, but if that’s not possible then I think Differin would be the next best thing.

Hi Angie,
I LOVE your channel and thank you for your always helpful service! Last night I had a complete panic when I went to reorder my Revitalash Advanced eyelash serum (that you suggested in your night time skincare routine) and found it now is called V’Lumine (see Nordstrom) and with less than stellar reviews (Amazon). I went searching for more info and really did not come up with much. Revitalash is still on the packaging as a trademark but the name is new/different. Reviews say results not even close to the same! HELP! Am I missing something? This stuff WORKED so well.

Hi Angie,

My sister has been using your skin care routine for about six months now, and her skin looks amazing. I am 49 and thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately, I have had allergic reactions to both CeraVe and Oil of Olay products in the past. Can you recommend substitutes for the moisturizers mentioned in the Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Routine? Thanks for listing an alternate cleanser; I just don’t know what to use in place of the CeraVe PM or the CeraVe Skin Renewing Gel. Thanks for posting so much helpful information on skin care for women my age!

  Hi Shannon~ I’m so happy your sister likes my skin care routine and that you’ve seen a change in her skin! I did a post last year with alternatives to both the CeraVe and Olay products for people who want paraben-free or cruelty-free options so I think you might find some alternate products there. You do have to buy a couple products to get the same ingredients in the CeraVe and Olay. Here’s the link: http://www.hotandflashy50.com/skincare-routine-update-paraben-free-cruelty-free-options/

Angie,
I have heard that you do not use an under-eye cream but wondering if you’ve heard of any that work on extremely dry and flaking under eyes? I have creams for dark circles and bags but I’m getting terrible lines and crinkles and some flaking. I don’t know what product line to go to. I am using most of the products you suggest including Retin-A but not the Olay as generally I have oily skin, Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Angie: I am using RivitaLash and it does work, however, instructions say to apply to clean and dry lash areas (brows too). Just as you do, I apply it last, but always give my brows and lash area a swipe with a damp cloth first. In your video, you just swipe it over all of the creams, oils, etc., that are on your face, eyes and brows. Was that done to save time in your video or do you really just apply on top of everything already on your face?
PS: Have been watching you from the beginning when you turned 50 and I had just turned 70. How time flies!!

Hi Angie. What do you think of MyChelle Dermaceuticals,Remarkable Retinal Night cream. Did you tried before. I would like to buy it because it contains Retinal so it must be effective anti aging cream. But I would like to know your opinion first in it because it is kind of pricey (40)$.
I scare to try DIFFERIN Gel because my skin is so sensitive, and would not like to buy Cerave serum because it is not parabens free. So I would like buy effective anti aging night cream but at the same time I prefer parabens free.

Thanks in advance

Hi Angie! Thank you for all the great research and advice! I was wondering if you have considered using glycolic acid? I have read that some people alternate glycolic acid and retin-a or one in the morning and one at night. Some even say using glycolic acid instead of Retin-A is just as effective. Thoughts? Thank you for you help!
