Skin Care Update After 30 Days Use!

I switched up some of my skincare products a month ago to try some cruelty-free & paraben-free alternatives and to reduce my pores. . . find out which worked and which got dumped!

Hello.
Having a looked at your video great 🙂
Have you tried skin creams from NO7?
It is made in the UK in boots.
I bought the cream you had on a movie for burst blood vessels in the face.
And I wonder can it be used over your other creams ? or are you using it before putting on creams and serums?

Best may-Britt

Hi Angie! I love your videos! I’d love to see one where you try some “organic”, non-toxic make up. I’ve been doing research and am particularly interested in W3ll People and 100% Pure. These 2 brands have amazing natural ingredients but I’d love to see how they work on you and your thoughts on them! Thanks for all your incredible advice!

I just want to thank you for your wonderful and informative videos. I have also switched my entire anti aging routine and am using all of your recommended anti aging products. I am still struggling with the retin A, as it is making my skin peel and making it difficult for me to apply make up. I am now using it only twice a week and hoping that my skin will adjust. Thanks again for all of your great advice!!

  If your skin is peeling, try using a one of the exfoliants from Paula’s Choice in the morning. What you are seeing is the already dead layer that is being pushed off by the accelerated growth caused by Retin-A. By using a chemical exfoliant, you gradually reduce the dead layer so that new cells don’t have so much to push through.

Thank you for the update. As far as mixing products before applying, I’ve never had a problem. I put a small amount of each one on a couple of left fingertips then use my right fingers to mix the products and apply the compound on my face.

My neck perspires a lot when I sleep in certain positions and that seems to increase sensitivity there. For me, mixing has been the only way I can tolerate Retin-A on my neck. It took almost 4 months of trial and error before I discovered that a mixture of 5% Niacinamide cream with Retin-A solved the problem.

Hi Angie, I don’t know how you stopped using the Oil of Olay serum and moisturizer at night. I love those two together. Are you waking up with that nice moisturized feeling anymore using the replacement products? Thanks for your help!

Angie,
I started following your blog and watching your videos a year ago. I must say I have been using all of your skin care care recommendations and beauty products too. I follow your original skin care routine. I’m 51 and feel like my skin and make-up look better than in my 30s. I’m so happy that I found you. Thank you!

Paula’s Choice has a new Resist 10% Niacinamide Booster that is supposed to help with enlarged pores. Apparently you can use it alone or mix in other products. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will with my next order.

Thank You so much for the review! I started using the Timeless products that you use, and they are GREAT! I have been using Paula’s Choice Niacinamide and Paula’s 1%Clinical Retinal cream and they both work well. I would just like to know at what point in your routine would you apply the Niacinamide??

Hi Angie, thank you very much for all the knowledge you have shared. It has really made a difference on my skin and life in general!

I wanted to share that recently I have been concerned about my pores. My skin appearance improves with daily use of Paula’s choice BHA 1% but used in the evening, close to the time I use Tretinoin, it leads to irritation. I would expect the same if I used the CeraVe with BHA.

While reading this blog http://skinandtonics.com/my-skin-care-routine/ I found that that this lady uses BHA in the morning. The concern was when to apply it i.e. before or after Vitamin C. I went with Paula’s suggestion to use before as seen here http://www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/skin-care-basics/_/how-to-put-together-a-skin-care-routine. Overall I find there is improvement with no irritation, redness or breakouts. I also like using the Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque. I found that pores look tighter for a couple of days after use. I hope this helps!

Thanks again for all the help!
