Hi Angie,

I follow you YouTube, and just discovered your blog not too long ago. Anyways, really liked this video. I was wondering if you could suggest a skin care routine. I presently use CeraVe to wash my face, Olay Regenerist and the Vitamin C from Timeless as you suggested. My problem is dark spots and discoloration. Wrinkles a few around the eyes, don’t worry about that too much as I know it is inevitable, lol!!
Thanks!

  The fastest and easiest way to get rid of dark spots and discolorations is to have your dermatologist freeze them with liquid nitrogen, or have one IPL treatment. Then to maintain the results, use my skincare routine (http://www.hotandflashy50.com/my-skincare-routine-update/) and be sure to use sunscreen daily.

Hi Angie, such a cool video!! I have lots of sunscreen products for the face now, using retin A , you have to protect your face from the sun!!
I like those, Clarins UV plus, Kiehls ultra light daily defense , and Algenist ultra lightweight defense fluid..like them all, they do well under makeup, the Kiehls is kind of mattyfying, which is ok..
I will try to get the Benefit dream screen too…I use them on the neck and chest…
Anyhow, keep up the great work!! It is so helpful for women who are fighting aging!!

Did you catch the Dr Oz show today? I swear they used your picture for the before and after retinol cream photos.

  And it was actually showing how retinol products work…not retin a which is a little misleading if those are your retin a photos! Just wanted to let you know. Love the videos!

    Hi Laurie~ Dr. Oz’s producer got in touch with me about using the photos last december and I gave them permission to use them but I thought it was for a retin-A piece. It first aired in January and I too thought it was a little misleading to show my tretinoin pictures when they were talking about OTC retinol.

      Well I am glad they got your permission!

Hi Angie!

Unfortunately I avoid “Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen” because it has both Avobenzone and Octinoxate:

“Octinoxate is the most widely used UVB blocking agent in the skin care industry. It does not filter UVA rays. Studies have also shown that Octinoxate can protect the skin against not only sunburn but also UV light-induced DNA alterations.

However, it isn’t very stable. When octinoxate is exposed to sunlight, it is converted into a less UV absorbent form (from E-octyl-p-methoxycinnamate into a Z-octyl-p-methoxycinnamate). Given that its job is to be exposed to sunlight, this seems to me to be a somewhat fundamental limitation. It is why you will usually find octinoxate combined with another sunscreen. Beware, though, that octinoxate combined with avobenzone degrades even faster”
