Hi Angie, I’ve been checking out your skincare blogs for a few months now and enjoy learning from you on skincare and makeup. I have bumped up my skin routine using the Timeless Vit. C E + ferulic and just ordered Matrixyl 3000. I just wanted to ask what lipstick/liner and eye shadow you are wearing in this video. I really like it and would be great for summer months.
Thanks.
Angele

I just discovered your youtube site and blog. Am really enjoying the great video tutorials and information. I tried to order The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + 2% HA. It appears to be sold out on several sites, including Amazon. Just wondered if you have another similar product you can recommend.

  I know… it’s been sold out for months and I ran out too 🙁
  There are a few other lactic acid products but they cost a lot more…

Thank you so much for all of your tips Angie! You are my inspiration! I really appreciate your straight-forward, thorough and honest advice. I was wondering if you had any advice for using Revitalash if you have light blue eyes. I have blue eyes like you and am worried about possible discoloration. Did this concern you when starting Revitalash? Also, has Revitalash remained effective for you over time? Thanks so much!

Where does the mad hippie face cream get used? It’s on the shopping list but not on the printable version of instructions.

Hi Angie,

So I have been using your skincare routine for about 6 months and I have a few questions.

Do you put your retinae under your eyes?

The ordinary lactic acid is making my skin peel almost every time I use it. I did have Active FX fraxel done on my face 6 months ago but I feel it’s very much recovered. Is this a normal side effect of the lactic acid ?

Lastly do you think the pulling and tugging on the face skin from the orbit or even the wonder cloth stretches the skin at all ? Every time I use it I worry. I’m 45 so the laxicity is fading.

Thanks so much !

  Hi Donna~ I do put Retin-A under my eyes but it took me over a year of using it to start putting it there. The lactic acid serum shouldn’t cause that much peeling so you might want to cut back on how often you use it or switch to another lactic acid serum. Many of the Ordinary products give me irritation and I don’t know why but there are so many products out there I use things that my skin likes better. I don’t feel like I really pull or tug my skin when using the Tao clean or the Wonder cloth. Maybe you could try using less pressure, or if you’re really worried you could switch to another device or just your fingers. Skin is pretty stretchy and resilient so I”m not sure washing with a cloth or device does damage. xo ~angie

Hi Angie,

I think I read or saw previously that you used RapidLash but now you are using RevitaLash. Am I mistaken? If you did in fact change, what caused the switch? I ask because Revitalash is not available in California and not allowed to be shipped to California addresses.

  Hi Stacy, I did use RapidLash happily for over 2 years, but one day it just stopped working thus the switch. If you can get RapidLash in CA, definitely give it a try, it works! ~angie

Hi Angie! I’m new to your blog, so apologies if this has been addressed before elsewhere. I noticed you don’t use an oil in your routine. Is there a particular reason for that?

  Hi Marie~ I’m not big into oils as a separate skincare step, but I do like them as ingredients in skincare products. Some oils contain antioxidants and vitamins like rosehip seed oil, squalene, and coconut oil so they’re great for people who want to use all natural skincare. But for me, the levels they contain are no match for the higher more effective levels of anti-aging ingredients in more mainstream manufactured skincare. ~angie

Hello! I located a Timeless serum that is vitamin c and hydralaunic acid but was unable to locate any reviews. Have you tried this one?

Hi Angie,
Any recommendations on a cleanser that does not have parabens like CeraVe does? Also everytime I try Matrixyl I get red patches on my skin, I am not sure if I am allergic, any recommendations? Thanks in advance

  I like the Mad Hippie Cream Cleanser for a paraben free alternative to the CeraVe. Red patches are something I don’t like to see from a skincare product so I’d switch to another Matrixyl or drop it altogether.

Do you find the Tao Clean Aura device to be slightly harsh on the skin? Have you used Clairsonic and if yes, how does the Tao device compare?

Hey there–

Have you ever reviewed any of the bioligique recherché products? Curious what you think of some of their serums and masks.

Thanks!

Hi Angie,
Have you tried the ordinary matrixyl product? Could the ordinary product replace the timeless in that area? How about their Hyaluronic acid? thanks.

  Hi Becky~ I tried the Ordinary Buffet which contains both Matrixyl 3000 & Matrixyl Synthe 6 along with some other anti-aging actives. I liked it a lot. You could sub the Ordinary Matrixyl product for the Timeless no problem. I don’t use a separate HA serum since there’s a good amount of HA in all my other products. ~angie

    thanks…I just received the Matrixyl, HA and their foundation. I made a big mistake on the color of the foundation so I won’t be using it. Next order I will try 2 shades lighter. It’s fun to try new things when they aren’t too expensive.

Hi beautiful Angie,

I heard Cerave changed the formula of the PM lotion.
Did you notice any difference?

Thanks

Hello Angie!
I know you do not use a separate eye cream. Have you tried an eye cream? Just wondering what you would recommend?
I am considering adding one to my routine, which is really your routine! Thank you again for what you do! So happy I found you!!

  Angie I just read your blog about not using a separate eye cream. Totally makes sense. I will just continue to use the products for my eye area as well. Thanks again!

Hi Angie
I am 63 and have been using most of your skin care regime for the past year or so…I love it!
As others my age have said I do wish I would have started this sooner! Today I added the Ordinary Lactic Acid to my skincare, couldn’t believe the price! I am one of those non-believers in plastic surgery and have loved to be able to resort to giving my skin some good care the natural way and without breaking the bank! So much for all you do for all of us in this journey of maintaining good, healthy looking skin!
Happy 4th!
Diane

Love, love, love your site and all the hard work you put into skin care and makeup for us! You have converted me to the Chanel Velvet foundation. My issue is that my Cerave AM pills when using the Chanel foundation. I know you have touched on this before but what causes that? Thank you!

Hi Angie,
I love your site and skincare suggestions. What product (s) do you suggest to help combat horizontal neck lines/wrinkles? I’ve read that you should use something with Vitamin C, but a lot of dermatologist websites say that most neck creams are a waste of time. Appreciate any suggestions.
