I would love if I could get the same result on my eyelids. I’m only 37 and they are aging me terribly! When you started to sleep on your back, was it a difficult process? How long to adjust? I’m a dedicated stomach sleeper. I’m definitely going to try everything.

  I think the back-sleeping really helps a lot! It took a long time and wasn’t the easiest but it was so worth it in the end. Here’s my post on how I did it: https://www.hotandflashy.com/train-sleep-back-prevent-wrinkles/

I was so inspired by this video and your skincare routines! I’ve been using the Timeless serums and CeraVe products you mentioned for about a month now and my skin looks so much fresher and with better texture, and those darn little wrinkles are not as noticeable! Unfortunately, I tried you droopy eyelid tutorial but have found that I absolutely cannot use eye shadow, matte or otherwise, on the area above the crease of my upper eyelids, it makes the crepey-ness MUCH worse and VERY noticeable, whereas when bare, the crepey-ness isn’t super-noticeable. A trick I learned that I really like is to use eyeliner for the upper lashes BELOW the upper lash line, on the waterline; also, I use nude eyeliner on the waterline for the lower eyelashes – these tricks help to “open” and brighten the eye. I also tried a thin line of the nude eyeliner above my upper lashes, and it had a nice brightening effect as well. So eyeshadow is out (for me), but nude eyeliner helps make a nice difference in detracting from the awful area between my brows and eyelids. Anyway, tomorrow I am going to try Ultherapy, I am pretty excited but apprehensive at the same time – hope it is worth the expense! Today I took a ton of “before” shots so I can gauge how well it works over time, since the effect does take time as collagen is stimulated. Anyway, love your videos and oh what a shot in the arm they’ve been to help me deal with getting older! 🙂

    I sure will. It will take a couple of months before I see some results as it’s all about the collagen re-building, and supposedly it will get even better from there. I will take additional pics and update you. Well, my impression of the treatment that I had last week is that — IT HURTS. Oh yes, it was quite painful towards the end. I took 800mg of ibuprofen right before the treatment, and that helped some, but if they offer you something stronger, I would recommend you take it (as long as you can have someone drive you home)! I had 3 “zones” done: Forehead/some eye area (they do not do eyelids), mouth/cheek area, and chin/partial neck area. Another recommendation: Don’t do what I did! Do only 1 zone at a time. It got to be a bit much as far as discomfort. I was doing Lamaze breathing techniques towards the end, I’m not kidding. 🙂 Now, fingers crossed and wait for the collagen to do its thing!

Angie,

First of all, you look absolutely AMAZING!!! I just found your videos (when searching for how to apply Retin-A properly) and am hooked on them! Thank you so much for being so open and honest and sharing your “tricks” and techniques.

Question: I turned 45 a few months ago and have started to notice fine lines (that are much more prominent when I smile…) under my eyes. I have even had my expert injector do a little “off-label” Dysport to try and alleviate them. To no avail, they will not budge. Your under-eye area looks fabulous. Any tips for that area — or perhaps a video you have already created and I haven’t found yet? 🙂

Thank you!
Kristina

Angie,
The timeless beauty products are less expensive on Amazon. Do you think there’s any problem with buying through Amazon instead of the timeless website? — regarding the product’s effectiveness… I’ve heard you say that timeless mixes the batches as needed. (at least I think I heard that)

  I bought the Timeless CoQ10 and Vitamin C serums from Amazon and they are very nice! I’ve seen some good things happen in the month I’ve been using them, and definitely will continue to use them! My skin is brighter, the texture seems smoother, and the lines around my eyes and mouth seem reduced. I took some photos today and compared to some headshots a friend (pro photographer) took a couple months ago and I am seeing some differences (I am much less tired looking!) so I’m encouraged!

Thank you for a wonderful and honest video!
My nasolabial folds are really bothering me and I noticed yours have improved over the years. Do you do anyhthing special for that area or its just your skin care routine and/or the Fraxel?
Thank you!
Voica

  I think it’s all the same things that have worked for my eyelids… skincare & back sleeping mostly though.

Wow! While there’s a definite change in your eyelids from 4 years ago, I couldn’t believe the difference now in your morning no make up eyes and then with make up. I keep pausing the video so I could examine the 2 photos side by side…it was really amazing. I’m definitely going to watch those tutorials again! As always, thanks for your transparency and honesty.

Angie, I know you were disappointed with the Rapidlash eyelash product recently- have you found anything else you like? I had the same thing happen- great results for a while, then nothing…

  I’m using RevitaLash now & it’s working great without irritation… the only thing irritating about it is the price tag!

Angie- I see you list 3 serums now from Timeless that you use. When do you use the Coenzyme Q10 and Matrixyl Synthe 6? Morning or Night and in what order? Vitamin C still in the morning?
Thanks.

Sleeping on my back! What a great idea!

I remember you used in one video little eyelid nets to help, do you still use those occasionally?

Thanks for all your videos!

Hi Angie:) Great video! I was wondering if you still are using exuviance spf 50, and what about the Thayers toner?
Thanks,
