Hi Angie– Love your videos. (Which is impressive because I normally can’t stand YouTube video’s–and I’m 30! lol. That said, I was really hoping when I found you “blog” some of it would be written! haha). But I digress– I really have found many of your videos very helpful, informative, and inspiring to start doing *something* for my skin other than covering with makeup!

In your morning routine, I was curious why you layer your moisturizer on before your sunscreen. Do you think this interferes with the efficacy of the sunscreen? Or is that part of why you use the physical rather than chemical sunscreen. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

  Hi Ariel~ I’m happy you can watch me! I used to do a written version of all my videos here on the blog but it became too much work and I never had time to enjoy life so now I do it this way. On the sunscreen, even if I use chemical sunscreen I put on my serums and moisturizers first and I don’t think it keeps the sunscreen from absorbing properly.

Hi Angie…

Is it necesary to use another cream after you apply Retin A at night?

  Hi Ingrid~ It’s not necessary to use cream after Retin-A but I like to since Retin-A can be drying and adding moisturizer can help. xo ~angie

Angie,

I love your videos but do have a question on your morning routine. In the printed version you had listed you use The Ordinary Lactic Acid product after the Timeless Vit C mixture, but in this video you do not. Can you suggest what you prefer?

  Hi Renee~ The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% is a new addition to my routine that I added after I made this post. I’m currently using both as it says in the printable version. The lactic acid helps with exfoliation and generating more ceramides in the skin, the vitamin c neutralizes free radicals in the skin, brigntens and helps fade discolorations so I like using both. If I could only choose one, I’d go with the Timeless Vitamin C serum.

Angie,
I use almost the same skin care routine as you. I use acids too though. After using pixi glow tonic for a year I found out the pH was so high it makes it virtually useless. I bought bravarua London acid toner which has a pH of 3.8. I use it before the timeless vitamin c serum am and pm. In my pm routine I wait half an hour before using retin a 0.05%.

I love your routine and agree with everything accept using pixi glow tonic as it’s not really an acid toner when the pH is 7.
Many thanks for all the fantastic information you’ve made available for everyone who prefers good skin care over lots of make up.
Carol

  Thank you, Robin! Until now, I’ve found only multiple packs of bottles for sale online, rather than individually. Just placed my order.

Hi Angie,

Love the site. Just wondering what you think of La Roche Posay Anthelios sunscreen.

  Most of them are good. Thinly one I don’t recommend is the Tinted Mineral formula.

Have you ever tried the Jenu device? It is an untrasonic device that increases penetrance of your skincare products. It’s quick and easy. I noticed a difference within the first 10 days on my eyes. I was wondering if you were familiar. It does not irritate the skin at all.

  Yes, I tried the Jenu a few years ago… twice! I liked it a lot both times but with all devices I eventually got tired of the extra time it was taking to use it every day and it’s now gathering dust in a drawer… I should get it out again though since my under eye wrinkles are really bugging me!!

Do you think Mad Hippie Face Cream is a better moisturizer than the CeraVe?

Hi
Living in the UK, have you heard about the Ordinary company (Toronto based I think)
they do amazing serums at extremely low cost, check them out I think you will like them.
Best wishes

Hi Angie,

I am newly 41 and I want to start my anti-aging skin care now. I have sensitive skin that is also combo oily, do you see any issues with me using the products you recommend?

Hi Angie! Thank you so much for taking the time to post all this and doing all you do!
Question: why don’t you just use the CeraVe am moisturizer with sunscreen in the morning under your make up versus using the CeraVe pm and the Hydropeptide sunscreen under your liquid makeup? Are you outdoors a lot during the day? I’m located in the Northeast and work indoors and barely see the sun so I don’t understand using so many sunscreens year round.

Thanks!

  Hi Jacquee~ I use a separate all mineral sunscreen because the chemical sunscreens irritate my skin. I use a higher spf sunscreen daily even though I’m indoors most of the day and live in New England because UVA rays (which cause the majority of aging & skin cancers) are the same strength all year round and all times of the day. Plus they come right through glass and clouds and bounce off of reflective surfaces so even though you don’t feel their heat or burn from them, they’re actually penetrating your skin all the time. <3 ~angie

  MY TIP: I now apply all those Timeless serums into my face and neck using the backs of my hands because:
  1. May as well have them treat the skin on the backs of the hands rather than wasted on the fingers and palms!
  2. I hate the smell of the Ferulic acid serum on my fingertips which lingers even after washing your hands!

Hi Angie, can I use my 5% bra in the morning with my vitamin c? Two different acids, is it too much?

  LoL, autocorrect! I assume you meant BHA? Some people can use them together, some can’t… it depends on how sensitive your skin is.

Hi Angie,

Great idea about decanting the make the C+E+ Ferulic last longer. Where can I order the same smaller dropper bottles?

Thx

  Hi Angie,
  
  I love this and religiously follow your routine with great results.
  
  Just saw a review on this product: Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel 15ml.
  
  Of course, I am checking in with you first before I try it.
  Any thoughts on this one?
  
  Thank you for your expertise!

I’ve always wondered about why you put everything on your hands because you wash them in the process – as do I. Do you think it absorbs before you wash ? Thank you!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share all the details with us! My skin care routine is much simpler with fewer products. I have felt that it is definitely lacking – especially in winter. This gives me great inspiration to slowly begin adding some new products. Also, I really appreciate knowing the order in which you apply product.
