My Anti-Aging Skincare Routine | Winter 2019

Not much changes in My Anti-Aging Skincare Routine from year to year and I feel like they can get pretty redundant. So I’m switching it up this year by taking you with me up to my bathroom so I can show you exactly how I care for my skin throughout my day and during the colder winter months so you can see WHAT I apply and HOW I apply it, with explanations on WHY I use the products I use.

Thanks for all the great information. I have learned so much from you. Would you consider making a video showing what you use to pack all your skincare and cosmetics for travel.

Thanks

Hello,

The Original lactic acid 5% is not sold in stores near me, but Ulta does sell the The Original lactic acid 10%.

Can the 10% replace the 5% (even though it is double the strength)?

Hi Angie,
I’ve been following your skincare routines and OMG what a difference! I finally, at 56, have the skin I always wanted — fresh, glowing, acne free — better late than never!! I notice that you aren’t including the Lactic Acid and Reservatrol products in your routine any longer. Can you comment on why so that I can decide if I should keep/drop them? Thank you! –roz

  Hi Roz~ The lactic acid is still in my routine (2nd step in the morning) but I did drop the resveratrol. Something in it irritated my skin and as soon as I applied it I felt stinging and my skin was red & irritated. xo ~angie

Hi Angie, I am new to your site and I bought everything in your routine. At the beggining, things were going well but after two week some patches started appearing and now my skin hurts and feels so dry and wrinkly. I even have more wrinkles than before! I know you are not a doctor but what could you recommend? What can I put on my skin to aliviate it? I did notice the lactic acid was leaving a burning sensation but I kept putting it on. I want to continue using everything but I am at lost at what could be the problem. My skin is usually dry. Please help me!!

  Hi Maria~ Did you also get Curolory or other prescription tretinoin? I don’t recommend starting my entire skincare routine all at once as some of the products can cause dryness and irritation. Please see this post on how to start my skincare routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQqOa6QcjMQ&t=482s
  In the meantime, you need to discontinue using retin-a and Lactic acid until your skin returns to normal. Then wait a month and start over being careful to ease in with the acids. Best, Angie

Hi Angie – greetings from the UK!

I know you have mentioned that once your skin is acclimatised to Retin A you don’t have to wait to apply your Tretinoin, but should there be a pause after application before going ahead with the serum and moisturiser?

With very best wishes and thanks for all your painstaking research and generosity in sharing.

  Hi Fiona~ Some dermatologists say to wait 20 minutes after applying Retin-A to apply moisturizer, some dermatologists (mine) say there’s no need to wait, still others say to apply moisturizer first. So since there doesn’t seem to be any consensus among the experts, I’d say you can do it however you feel is best. xo ~angie

recently discovered your youtube channel and I am officially OBSESSED! I am 47 and just getting started with a skin care routine, and you are giving me hope! Thanks for all your work and your amazingly helpful videos!

Quick question: I keep seeing that exfoliation is important, but I don’t see that in your routine. Or does one of your products work as an exfoliant? Please help this newbie out!

Thanks Angie!

  Hi Denise~ I’m so happy you like my content and you’re starting a skincare routine! Exfoliation is important for removing some of the old dead skin cells that can make our skin look dull. In my routine, I have 3 exfoliating products: The Ordinary 5% Lacic Acid + 2% HA, Curology (tretinoin), & Drunk Elephant TLC Sukari Baby Facial (glycolic, lactic, malic acids). Ideally, you’d want to use a glycolic acid product daily but my skin is too sensitive for it so I use lactic acid daily and do a once weekly glycolic peel. xo ~angie

Hi Angie,
I am new to watching your videos (although I do not have a YouTube account) and I have to say how wonderful they are. Thank you very much for all the time you put into each and every one. I have just started your skincare program and absolutely love the results thus far.
It’s very hard to find such informative videos for mature woman’s skin. I share the same skin type and color shades as you. I have purchased many of your top foundations in the shades you use and they are a perfect match for me. I will
certainty continue to watch all your videos and look forward to them. Thank you again 🙂

Angie, I saw where Elle said to be weary of what your purchasing from the Walmart site. I just ordered the Elysia MD sunscreeen as I’ve moved to Wyoming and there’s no derms here that carry it. I’m worried now that it might be a fake. Have you ever had problems with that ? Also amazon? Now I’m worried I should be buying them from the manufacturer even tho they are more expensive.

Hey Angie!! I’m curious about the layering of lactic acid and vitamin c. Everything I’ve read says these shouldn’t be layered (they can be used in the same routine but at different times), as the ph differences could cause the vitamin c to be useless. And then I’ve seen a couple sources that say it may be ok, but lactic acid should definitely come before vitamin c. Can you explain why you layer them the way you do? I trust ya and love your vids, just been curious about this! I have the same Timeles vit c and Ordinary LA 5%.

  Hi Jeannie~
  
  Both L-Ascorbic Acid based Vitamin C serums and Lactic acid serums need to be at a low pH (between 2.5 – 3.5) to work in the skin so they’re perfectly compatible.
  
  Best,
  Angie

  Hi Jeannie~
  
  Already answered about using them together on your other question. The order you apply Vitamin C serum and Lactic acid (or other AHA serums) really doesn’t matter. I believe the thinking behind applying Lactic acid or other exfoliants first is that they’ll exfoliate away whatever is applied on top. But the problem with that argument is that it’s not based in the reality of how exfoliants work or how these ingredients are absorbed in the skin. It’s not like you put on an exfoliant and your entire top layer of skin pops off immediately taking your vitamin c serum with it. Exfoliants work slowly over time helping to release some of the dead cells from the surface layer of the skin. The surface layer is called the stratum corneum and it’s entirely made up of dead skin cells. Vitamin C is absorbed past the stratum corneum to the epidermis and dermis where it works to fight free radicals. So exfoliating the stratum corneum has nothing to do with the efficacy of vitamin c.

Hi, Angie. I wanted to let you know I started your skincare routine 6 days ago and all I can say is WOW!!! I was almost out of my current skincare products and wanted to try something different. Not only were the products 50% less I’ve seen noticeable improvement in only 6 days!!! I have sensitive skin too and I’ve had no issues with using the products as you’ve recommended. Thank you so much!!!

This is impressive! I don’t think I would have the patience and perseverance to stick with using so many products — day AND night. I’m 66 and I think I’ve been pretty careful with my skin — I use mild products and sunscreen. I also try never to rub or pull at my skin at all, especially around the eye area. I too really like the CeraVe products, and LaRoche Posay — they’re mild and very effective. To remove eye makeup, which I don’t wear daily, I usually use a mild emulsifying oil (like Neutrogena) or I use jojoba oil on a Q-tip, and then I use a mild cleanser afterward. I do have a problem with broken capillaries, but I should probably see a dermatologist for that.

I follow you religiously, thank you! I was born with a cleft lip (back in the days before great plastic surgery for infants) and have always struggled to feel pretty. I think your make-up tricks help me to feel pretty…my eyes pop, cheeks glow! Anyway I thought I’d share that I have been using a tiny line of regular liquid Minoxidil on my thinning (actually vanishing) eyebrows and have had incredible results. I know it is off-label use but it is a heck of a lot cheaper than any of the other options. I dip my super tiny eye brush into the liquid, tap any loose liquid off, and run it along the top side of my eyebrow line (I’d rather have hair grow higher on the brow than on the bottom). For the first time in years, I’ve had to pluck a few eyebrow hairs!

Hi Angie,
I just received my first box of Curology and mentioned you as my referral in my consultation. Do you know what kind of tretinoin they use? My formula is .04 tretinoin, 1 % Clindamycin and 7% azelaic acid. Does that mean they use the Retin A micro or is that just the actual percent of tretinoin in my formula? Thanks in advance.

  Retin-A Micro is a brand name of a product containing tretinoin. Curology uses generic tretinoin in its products.

Can you please tell me the differences in sunscreens you use on the updated 2019 skincare …the makePrem isnt even mentioned but was on your list for top anti aging of 2018 video? Is MakePrem no longer used? Or australian gold? You only showed the EltaMD and I believe Paulas choice..? Which are both tinted. Thank You

  Hi Ann~ I wish I could include every product in every video but because of time restraints I have to leave some out so I include my favorites at the moment. It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the old faves or that I never use them. I still use both the Make Prem UV Defense Me and the Australian Gold. They’re all mineral sunscreens so there’s not a huge difference in the sunscreening ingredients. The differences are mainly in the shades and how they feel. Make Prem is a non-tinted spf 50 and is very light weight. It has UVA/UVB protection as well as blue ray and infrared but it’s not water resistant. Australian Gold is a tinted spf 50 that I love for vacation because it’s water resistant to 80 minutes. But it can be a little drying to the skin so I don’t use it much in winter. My 2 current faves are Elta MD UV Elements spf 44 which is tinted, moisturizing, not water resistant. Paula’s Choice Super Light is spf 30, tinted, moisturizing and not water resistant. Best,Angie
