I’m revisiting this video for the 20th time over the last year and it never gets old! I love the way you divide your skin care routine into 2 separate full videos (am & pm) and I especially appreciate the split screen!! I know your routine doesn’t vary much but I hope you will duplicate this format with updates on an annual basis. Thank you so much for giving us over 50 crowd such well researched, quality videos!!
Your morning and night routine videos are my holy grail skincare videos! They go in my “favorites” and I reference them often. Thank you for such informative and thorough videos!
I have to say during my 50's I didn't pay much attention to my skin and whatever little products and makeup I was using was fine. Now I'm 66 and I got one of those very magnifying mirrors and I was shocked at my skin! The usual face masks I used to use no longer worked and my usual makeup looked horrible settling in my now very enlarged pores and in my wrinkles. I started slowly following Angies skin care routine and even in a just a few weeks now I see a wonderful difference!! I am so grateful for your videos thank you so much!
So true. She is so relatable and smart and good at teaching others. She's changed my routines, my skin, and my view of myself. My skin is better now at 50 after finding her channel than it was at 40.
I’m a newbie to your videos. I’m 74 and decided to adopt most of the anti-aging skin care elements on your list (a few things, i will use up what I have). I have to say, after 4 weeks, my skin has changed for the better. I was already using Retin A, so it’s the addition of the other things that have made a difference! Thank you!
I’ve been watching your videos since I was 28, I just turned 30. You inspired me to start a skin care routine! I’ve always moisturized, but since then I’ve added mineral sunscreen and retinol to my daily routine! Now that I’m 30 I want to incorporate the acids! Thank you Angie!🙌🏼
I rotate my skin care products each evening so I'm not putting on so many harsh products at once. My dermatologist said you don't need to use Retin A every evening. Once you've acclimated to it, 2-3 times per week is sufficient.
Terri Allen I just posted the same. My dermatologist told me the same because of black box warnings. I get same results twice a week as I did when I used it all the time.
Every doc gives different advice. If your skin can handle it, there is no reason not to use it every night other than you could be just wasting product. Also we are all different and have different needs and concerns.
Yes, I’ve also been told that you should really only use one active ingredient at a time. This reduces the risk of irritating your skin, and it’s also not clear how different products will interact with each other when you apply them all at once. Additionally, if you apply a product to skin that’s already covered in other products, it’s possible that it won’t be nearly as effective as when you apply it by itself.
Angie, I just had a lightbulb moment when you said you skip the cotton round and just put the toner directly on your fingers to prevent waste. So obvious but brilliant!!
HA HA! I had the same reaction! Angie turned into Captain Obvious for a minute! Makes perfect sense! I've always used a cotton round! Who knew to do it this way!! :-D
I've been doing that forever. Just your basic tightwaddery on my part. I'd rather have a little absorbed into my fingers than a bunch wasted in some tool of application.
I listen to Angie like it was religion!!! She fixed my face!! My face didn't had hope...now its looking better each day by checking her routine and getting tips to build my own routine. Thank You so so much!!! I'm 35
I’d love to hear more about how long each of these products last you to give people a better idea of how they can budget their skincare dollars if they follow along.
@@LoveABun nothing technically makes pores smaller BUT usually what makes our pores look big is the dirt and oil inside the pore so the pores are stretched out and "look" big. This takes about a week to start seeing the results (for me at least) It goes deep down into the pore and chemically kinda scoops all that stuff out and then the pores look tight and skin is glowing. Start slow if you have never tried this product. If you use everyday at 1st and your skin isn't adjusted to it, you will peel like a snake. I now use it a few days a week. It's amazing!
I agree @Graceful Beauty. I've used it for a bout 5-7 years and it definitely helps with my large pores. It also does a great job at keeping any breakouts under control. As long as I am consistent with it, I never get breakouts. I also love using it right before my Retin-A, as the Paula's Choice BHA has a nice "slip" to it and helps my Retin-A spread better.
@@GracefulBeautyWithSheri Agree with everything you said. I just wanted to add that I prefer Paula's Choice 2% BHA lotion because I feel it is easier to put it only where you need it. I also from time to time use Paula's Choice 4% BHA, but only on my nose because it's too drying for the rest of my face and the pores on my nose are... epic, for lack of other word :D
I put my hydrating toner in a mist bottle. After I get my face all clean I just mist it all over my skin and then let it sink in for a second before starting my serums. My skin has been loving it!
jcjccmz Cotton drinks products & doesn’t leave nearly enough on skin. With a fine misting nozzle the mist goes directly on your face & then can smooth it around w/fingers before going in w/serums..added bonus no cotton round waste
@@sweetpeace5 Whenever I see people using sprays/mists, they seem to pump product 4 or 6 times into the air all over the general direction of their face, and it appears the mist is going everywhere, not only just on the face. I don't know. Btw, you can get the super thin cotton squares (by Intrinsic, I think) from Amazon and they don't soak up much product.
Wow! Super idea...I am trying the "hand" approach, but I'm so uncoordinated it seems to "go away" before it reaches my face. Wow again. Great $$ saver!!!
You’re one of the very few on RU-vid giving sound and good info on skincare. You actually do QUALITY sensible research that’s based in science. I use the wonder cloths too. They are very cool. Everything just rinses off them as well which I love.
I have to admit - I went to Paula's choice for 3 months - bad idea...………..YOUR skin routine is the VERY BEST. I was smart when I was 16 that's when I started my 'face routine' and it pays off in older age - I am now 60 years young. I have also completely stopped purchasing all the expensive wonder creams...…….I am so happy with the cheaper ones - all thanks to you WONDER Angie. Thank you to you for saving me time and money - you are the best.
I've tried so many "sustainable" cotton round like products, like my recent purchase of bamboo cosmetic rounds. They all absorb so much product that they're just not usable. They are also rough on my sensitive skin. I finally just started using my toner as an essence just as Angie did here and it works great.
Dear Angie, I am 63 and have learned so much from your channel. Thank you. I would like to let you and your viewers know to please put your skin care routine on your ear lobes. I am not enjoying the aging changes on my ear lobes and would like to prevent your viewers from experiencing these changes. Thanks for all your amazing help!
I am 38 yrs old and my am routine is vitamin c for face and neck then top it with olay whipped moisturizer with spf 25, then i top if with either spf 50 or 100. My pm routine is cerave hydrating facial wash, witch hazel toner, the ordinary granactive retinoid 5%, the ordinary copper buffet serum (i do rub my serums including retinoid on my under eyes and lids and neck and no irritation on me), roc eye cream, then lastly olay moisturizer red jar. My skin looks glass like in the am when i wake up i love it. My fine lines under eyes are significantly reduced and my face is plumped and very smooth. Dark spots are significantly reduced. I do wear spf 100 and wear hat when i am out and spf 50 when i know i will not be going anywhere that day. Definitely going to invest in one of those mini fridge for my bathroom upstairs since my serums are in my fridge downstairs now.
I had a very similar regimen in my 30s and always got compliments on my skin. I've never been a sun worshiper, so that helped. Now that I'm in my 50s I'm doubling down on the active ingredients and continue to see results. Keep it up, you won't regret it.
@@LoveABunthe retinoid im using requires to be refrigerated. Plus it feels great on your skin when you put serums on cool its very relaxing. Im also thinking putting water as well to drink when thirsty at night instead of going up and down the stairs.
Hi Angie, I have been using your skincare routine for AM and PM for over a year now. At 62 my skin looks really good! My 40-year-old co-worker told me that she was "jealous" of how good my skin looked! I am preparing to travel in a motorhome for a year to see this beautiful country and visit friends and relatives next year and am simplifying everything. I appreciate your reference to the 3 essentials - Retin A, Sunscreen, and Moisturizer. However, if I was to go somewhere in between everything you are using and the basics, what would you recommend? I would guess AM - Moisten Face, Timeless Vit C, Moisturizer and Sunscreen and PM Double Cleanse, Retin A, Moisturizer. Maybe the Sukari Baby Facial once per week? It has been interesting to simplify everything in this busy world! Thank for all of your work, testing, and education.
I'm also 62, and have good skin (genetics and avoiding the sun). My skin is also not oily or dry, so I can do a minimal routine. AM: water rinse (with microfiber washcloth), Timeless C, sunscreen. PM: CeraVe cleanser and microfiber, an acid (I switch between several but one will do), strong retinol 3-4 times a week, and Drunk Elephant's Protini (moisturizer with peptides). In the winter I add a HA serum. I need to switch from retinol to something stronger, but that's about it.
Thank you dear. I have been an esthetician for 38 years. Wow, I just learned so much from you. I'm a lot older, 77, and trust me, I am going to try many of the items you just suggested. God bless from Arizona.
I have started putting my toners in a misting spray bottle, and it's been a game changer! It's less messy and I feel like I use less. I just mist on and pat in. Also, I loved those headbands and i'm glad you posted where you got them!
Thanks Angie. So you know, this works for guys too. I started using some, not all of the items, and in less than a week I can already see a difference.
Thank you for this Angie! I started my anti aging regime in August after watching your videos. I trust your experience and expertise. The proof is in your appearance from 5/6 years ago to now. You are just gorgeous! I turned 54 in early September, so I thought I better get on the bandwagon already. Lol. I am glad I did. I can already see a difference. My makeup looks a hell of a lot nicer too. The anti aging regime is also therapeutic because it is 'time for me' time. Thank you! 😊💖👍
I totally agree. I started watching Angie from day one and it has been a journey. I didn’t begin my skincare journey until I was 62 and I am now 70. While I may not have the magnificent results that Angie has, it has been beneficial. I agree with you. I owe my determination to her and besides, it is most definitely me time. Enjoy, and be beautiful!
I have been using the Paula's Choice BHA for months now but with cotton rounds. This last few days I started applying it the "Angie Way" and using my hands instead. WOW!!! What a difference! I can't believe how much better my skin looks and feels with that little adjustment! Plus I pretty much stopped using cotton rounds altogether now which means less waste and less cost to me. Thank you so much!
Wow, I thought you were in your mid 40’s! Regardless of how old people look, I think they can look great. Younger is not always better. Anyway, you are beautiful and whatever you are doing is working. You get what you put in! 👌
Angie, Maybe you could try Laura Gellar products. Not too much skin care, but from primers on, she is the bomb. She also has awesome brushes! I love all her products since like for 25-30 years!
I appreciate the amount of work you put into your reviews and videos. Thank you for making a printable guide because it's a struggle having to gather information from varies sources.
It's about time you hopped on the BHA wagon. I have been using it for about twenty years. Every time I think maybe I have something else that will do the job and take it out, I end up putting it back in. It is the ONLY thing I have used that consistently. It helps with pore size, blackheads (when I started, my nose was always covered in them) and helps somewhat with breakouts, too.
So glad to see your updated am and pm routines. I started watching in late summer and I have completely changed my routines. I can see such a difference in my skin. Just got my Nuface last week and enjoying that and its results. I will be ordering the Tao brush to help with cleansing. I use the serums you recommend and they are great! Best result has been the Revitabrow I got during Nordstrom sale. Amazed by the results! Thank you so much for all your research and testing!! I will be 60 in November so tryi.g to slowwwww down the aging process!!
Thank YOU for the" Fall 2019 Skincare Routine Printable Guide" on your website! (link in description box above) You are awesome for making it so easy to find the things you mention.
I follow your skin care routine, I turned 40 and I was noticing my eye lids were starting to drop down very droopy and since I followed your skin care routine, I’ve noticed a natural lift, and it’s only been 4 months! Thank you!!!
I don't even need much anti-aging skincare yet, but I love Angie's videos because of how she describes everything and how informed and systematic she is about everything. Thanks Angie!
Hi Angie, during isolation while working at home, I don't want to wear foundation anymore, I just want to go au naturel. So I've been binging on your Skincare routines on evenings and week-ends. You are a wealth of information, there is so much to learn. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I'm turning 56 this year and have a very, very basic skincare routine, just cleanse and moisturize. Been using CERAVE products for over 30 years. I've never since my youth suffered from pimples, acne or scarring, or sun damage. My mom had fabulous skin until the day she died at 82. I have olive skin, normal to combination skin, no wrinkles or crows feet. I've always drank a lot of water, so I have a lot of elasticity in my complexion and my skin feel goos. Never enjoyed the sun, so I avoid it, I'm a snow bunny instead. Although I always chose products with SPF, never wore Sunscreen on it's own, after watching your video I realize how important it is now. The only issue with my complexion is age spots, and malasma I think it's called, a little discolouration - hence the reason I wear foundation and I love good lipstick. My dream would be to have clear, flawless complexion, so I have no need to wear any foundation. I love the way that you explain all the products and ingredients. Never used any products with Retinol and am thinking of trying some retinol / retinaie / adapalene. I keep watching your videos, to try and learn about these products and understand them, I'm still confused. Before going to a Dermatologist for a prescription, I want to start trying some of the serum brands you recommended, one at a time, like the Avene, Timeless, Maelove, The Ordinary, etc. . . . so I can slowly acclimate my skin to the stronger prescriptions. This is going to be my new hobby to keep me busy during isolation. I was wondering what is the mini fridge for ? R you supposed to keep the serums cold ? I have seen some vloggers w mini fridges on IGram. Anyways, I appreciate all the time and dedication you put into your videos, it's so very helpful for novices like myself, it's never too late to learn, and it keeps me young.
I use the Ordinary products and First aid beauty !! Cheap, efficient and cruelty free!! Those 2 brands completely transformed my skin🤗💞. For the rest, i accept aging gracefully. Assuming is appealing 🙂
tbh my dermatologist thats sells a lot of high end prescription strength products told me that some (althought not all) ordinary products are actually very good quality and % wise of ingredients are very good
My skin has had amazing results in the past year plus that I have been using the Timeless and Curology products you recommend. I know it is working well because women ask me all the time (including 20 somethings) what I do. I turned 52 today! So glad I found you 💞
I’ve been applying my toners without cotton for years now, and my products last much longer! I also used Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm, but then I discovered that the cleansing balm from No.7 has better ingredients and a smoother texture....plus It’s only $9.99 at Ulta!
I wanna cry how amazing your face is without make up - like goals I will never reach!! I couldn't find a video where you talk about your skin journey that would be intersting like when or how long have you used certainy products. I'm going into 34 and I know it's late but I'm getting super obssed with skincare finally
Hi. Angie! I would love to see a video with a simplified version. I don't how much you spend, but I know I don't have a lot to spend. What would be the top 4 products that you would consider the best ones?
@@Tina-fi2wy Yes, because she has her skin and you have your type. I'm trying her over the counter retinol and I've been much better with sunscreen since she showed some that don't pill or turn white.
Try looking up DR. Dray you will be amazed all your questions will be answered as far as skin goes. Stop wasting money on serums all they do is moisturize. Absolutely no proof what so ever. Retin A works and it’s proven. Retin A, moisturizer with sunscreen 30-50 spf u do not need both separate . over make up use powdered sunscreen. I’ve tried Angie’s way and now doing Dr drays way and have had noticeable results. I also double cleanse. I am not being shady towards Angie I know she helped me in the beginning with skin care. I still watch and love her videos so no rude comments back.
@@terrishepherd3266 Love Dr. Dray. One thing she said about Retin A use though was how much difference it makes depends a lot on how much sun damage you've gotten and that 75% of sun damage is acquired by the age of 20, so dramatic changes will only be seen with tret if you have a lot of photo ageing. I have little now at 52 as my Mum and I always protected my skin from the sun from the time I was born-had to as I'm extremely fair and burn very easily. Niacinamide antioxidant serum has clinical evidence from several high quality randomised controlled studies that demonstrate significant penetration into skin. I use it (The Ordinary 10%) and have noticed a big difference in how plump and bright my skin has become, so it depends on the serum and what evidence there is for its efficacy.
Your videos on skincare are and anti aging are so helpful and so much appreciated Angie! Been watching for about a year and a half and just thought I'd let you know how appreciated you are. My routine has come miles from what it was and my skin thanks you for it! 😊
I always look forward to your updated anti-aging skin care routines, and THANK YOU so much for creating a PDF! I am so grateful that you explain WHAT each product does and why you use them in the order that you do-my skin has greatly improved since finding your channel!💜💜💜
FYI -- If you use a toner cold from the frig it will close your pores. I use my cold toner in the morning. Make sure you rinse face with very warm water then apply your room temp. serums and such for your night time and they will absorb better. 💝
Thank you for always thinking about us and taking the time to go the extra mile. That’s one of the things that sets you apart, in my opinion. Your efforts are appreciated. Namaste 🙏🏼
To people asking if really NEED all this or don’t have $$, the heavy hitters are really: RetinA (or Differin/adapalene, retinols) Vit C serum & DAILY sunscreen. Interspersing acids on varying days depending on where skin is (sloughing stage.) The rest is icing. DAY: Non foaming cleanse followed by vit C serum & fragrance free moisturizer, mineral sunscreen then makeup. NIGHT: double cleanse, use RetinA wait 20 minutes then moisturizer. Other nights use glycolic acid toner, or BHA toner (exfoliation) follow with a good peptides hyaluronic acid serum (Buffet from The Ordinary or something like this) then moisturizer. Just do something different based on what stage of sloughing your skin is in. I skip chemical exfoliants when skin is heavily sloughing from Retin A or acids (broken down skin barrier) & use hydrating toner, peptides serum, moisturizer & sometimes lock in w/good oil. You don’t have to spend a lot or use this many products to get results.
Dear Angie. Im new on this Retin A, Retinoid, Retinol ect. I have started with the Paulas Choice 1% Retinol but have also bought The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane and cant figure out which one is the most effecient. Im trying to get my doctor to prescribe me the tretinoin 0;05% but wanna start out as gentle as I can. I have watched your videos a million times and I love your channel ( just found it a month ago) and you are simply amazing! Thanx for an amazing channel. Cath/ 42 years old
I keep my Curology tretinoin % on the low side, .05%, so I can use two pumps every day. If I go higher, I get irritation and am not consistent. Also, I apply my curology as my last step. I've been using Curology for just over two years and continue to see great results.
Jim Williams I have been using Curology for the tretinoin (about 7 months). I have noticed significant improvement in reducing wrinkle depth. The improvements became clearly noticeable around 6 months. I worked up to .07% without irritation and without peeling by combining it with an occlusive moisturizer (Aveno Excema balm with colloidal oatmeal) ... The take away is that the tretinoin is helping me reverse age my skin. I am 56 years old.
Could you combine all these products in a jar / maybe pump out the drops x7days of each product & just have it in jar & put in fridge then do it weekly?
Hi Angie! Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks! I'm 31 and I'm so grateful for your wisdom and advice for preparing and aging gracefully. You look so good!
I've been researching korean skincare and there are a couple balms I want to try out that are also a little cheaper: Banila Co Clean It Zero cleansing balm, and heimish all clean balm
@Rebecca A I think some people obsess so much about aging and beauty products that it becomes a mental illness type of situation like an OCD. I do what you said. 1. Cleanse 2. Altreno (Tretinoin) 0.05% Lotion 3. Clinique Moisturizer.
Thank you Angie for taking the time to share all this valuable information with us. I love watching and learning from you. You are the best I have seen. You not only share what is working for you, but you give the science behind it as well. I also am one that really appreciates the printable version, it's alot for me to remember which order to go in lol. But Thank you again for all you do💖
Angie, I just want to say I would never guess you're 57. I'll be 48 next month and you look way younger than me. You're killing it girl! Love your videos and I'm now following most of your skin care routine and my skin thanks you!
Obviously you feel that all these products help. How have you determined that each product is actually beneficial ? Would you expect less benefit if you eliminated one product?
Because she uses ingredients that have been scientifically proven to be good for the skin.Some products help in the long run,you have to use them for years to see a big change.
Carol Crawford You do not need all this! DAY: Non foaming cleanse followed by vit C serum & fragrance free moisturizer followed by daily mineral sunscreen then makeup. NIGHT: double cleanse, use RetinA wait 20 minutes then moisturizer. Other nights use glycolic acid toner, or BHA toner (exfoliation) follow with a good peptides hyaluronic acid serum (Buffet from The Ordinary or something like this) then moisturizer. Just do something different based on what stage of sloughing your skin is in. I skip chemical exfoliants when skin is heavily sloughing from Retin A or acids (broken down skin barrier) & use hydrating toner, peptides serum, moisturizer & sometimes lock in with good oil. You don’t have to spend a lot or use this many products to get results. The heavy hitters are RetinA, Vit C and DAILY sunscreen.
I dunno, Angie, I've been following you for years and adopted your fairly simple 4-ish step process ages ago (which still holds up to your science so I'm sticking with it). This 8, 9, 10? step process is well beyond what most women have the time or money to do. Love you, though.
@@GardenMinistry. Ah, the simple days: AM: Quick cleanse, Vit C serum, Matrixyl 3000 serum, (both frm Timeless), simple moisturizer. PM simple cleanse (she was doing Clarisonic then), Retin A, Olay Reginerist. (Same main ingredients she still uses... but I'm sad she's complicated it so much.)
@@cr293737 thanks for your quick response! I honestly think a lot of it has to do with sponsers etc, this basic format you mention seems to hit the most important ingredients, plus sunscreen. Life's too short to be stressing about adding more and more stuff. It's like adding another 2 additional cups of sugar to an already sweet cake, why mess with a good thing?
A few questions I have so far..... Have you ever derma planed at home? Have you ever used a micro needling tool? What are your thoughts on the Gua Sha!?! With how well you self care do you have regular facials? Xoxo
When you talk about the most important products, I wish you'd break it down into some additional levels, rather than just giving the complete list and the basic 3-product list. If I were going to add a couple more things after those 3, what would it be? What about a couple more after that? I'd love to see 4 or 5 levels.
Angie I am loving your videos I have learned soooo much. At 55 I just started loosing weight taking care of my skin and wearing make up. Thank you for sharing your trick of the trade!!!! You are awesome!!!!
I actually use the Sukari for 20 minutes. (I think that’s what it says on the label) you must have the most sensitive skin you poor thing! You’re absolutely stunning!! Good for you for making the commitment and helping all the rest of us!!
I've also foregone cotton rounds! Note: saving the earth means more waste reduction than waste generation ergo I refuse to call this saving the earth. We have a long waaay to go, people!!!
Well, this one really kicked my ass, but it's worth it! Love the pay-off of receiving compliments on my skin... and looking younger. You're THE BEST Angie! Appreciate you.
Aren't you supposed to go from thinest to thickest consitency when applying? It looks like the curology was a serum and the other products used after were very liquidy. I heard from a dermatologist when you apply so many products at one time you skin can only absorb so much. This is a lot! 2 toners and 3 serums!
Michelle Michael I’ve been researching myself and I tend to lean towards the ingredients that have been proven with many studies. it is fact that our skin can only absorb so much.
Angie has been researching for years on what is good and not for anti aging skin care. I follow her routine and I can assure you, it worked gor me. As far as wondering the damage this can do over time... If her skin looks damaged to you, I would gladly do exactly to mine for the beautiful " damage" it has done to her ;) Im assuming this is why Angie has so many followers?
As our skin matures, it doesn’t exfoliate like it used to. When you use these retinol products, does your face physically peel off the dead layers when you wash your face in the shower.
I have tried to avail the free trial. I was really upset when I got billed. contacted Customer service and then Terms and conditions were explained to me, even had one representative walked me through the full terms online, then i realized t'was my fault. It was my fault i did not read terms and conditions but they still provided me offers, was enrolled to a monthly subscription and till now i still am, you really see the result after 2 months of using it every day. now i can say I LOVE EVERY DROP of the oil and cream.
How are you getting a 0.12 % Tretinoin from Curology when the strongest I can get directly from my pharmacy (in the US also) is 0.1%? Also when I look online, the strongest strength listed as available in the US is 0.1% (with the others being 0.05% and 0.025%). I do not understand how Curology is supposedly supplying this in the US at strengths higher than available at any pharmacy. I have asked this exact question on a person’s IG post who said they were getting 0.14% from Curology - and the person replied by tagging Curology and saying “tagging you guys here so you can provide this info”. And Curology has yet to reply. I even followed up a couple days after and tagged Curology again asking if they could explain - and they have not replied. I do not think Curology IS actually using the strengths they are telling you - when according to the FDA - the strongest you can get in the US is 0.1%. Thoughts?
I have an Rx for 0.14% Retin A as per the dermatologist. I am in Canada, too. Cureology may be based here but it’s not sold here. I hope one day it will be. I have every strength of Retin A on the market and use 0.025% gel successfully. I have creams, gel and Micro Gel. I have zero tolerance to anything. Kids doses are often enough for me. The goal is beautiful skin not the strongest te tiño in you can tolerate. Never forget that! I had to learn it, too!!!
Dawn Princess Looks like she’s using 0.12% who knows what she’s actually getting; somebody should send it out for testing!😜The key is using 1 night/week & believing that will actually make a difference (add Differein in on another night or 2 as it’s gentler & definitely makes a difference) but back off according to skin response. It is definitely not necessary to rush the process because it’s remarkable how much change can be seen using 1-3x/week instead of every night.
Way too many products for me. I like a simple routine with no more than 5 products for pm (cleansing oil, gentle cleanser, toner, moisturizer, tretinoin). Instead of using 3 products for your neck/chest/back of hands. I just mixed the tretinoin with moisturizer for those areas...done.
You do understand that mixing with your moisturizer only reduces the potency, right?this is why you don't have a channel and people aren't taking your advice.
Hi I was thinking the same thing!!!!!!!!! Dr Dray makes skin care night or day regime so simple, less stuff, yet most effective. Am so glad I found Dr Dray she made beautiful skin easy & doable. Thank goodness she did mention the 3 simple steps that Dr Dray promote.
Except that I think Dr. Dray is in her 30s and looks ten years older to me, where as Angie is in her 50s and looks ten years younger. Obviously a lot is just genetics and lifestyle, but can’t help but think some products may be working for Angie.
@Emily Stocking Yep, Dr. Dray is much younger and hasn’t experienced the sun damage that Angie did. Angie had to “un-do” all of that and start from square one. I “get” the sun damage, as I’m Angie’s age, and we didn’t know, when we were 20-30 yo, all we do now about UV damage. I have some nasty under eye wrinkles from “sun bathing” as a youngster. ::-/ I wish I could afford to do all the things that Angie is doing, has done, as apparently it’s working! SUNSCREEN young women!
I love Dr Dray and think she’s super smart and helpful in explaining things. However she’s in her 30’s, has minimal sun damage and STILL looks 10 years older than she should IMO.. wouldn’t say Angie looks 10 years younger than her age but she definitely looks better than Dr Dray will at her age, if how she looks now is any indication. Not to bash Dr Dray because some of it is genetics but I would rather use products in the hope that they would work instead of not using them assuming that they don’t. Either way I love both ladies but just some food for thought🤗
Angie - I have a question. Which is better, the Neutrogena Hydra boost cleansing gel for sensitive skin,with hyaluronic acids, and says it’s lightly foaming. ,or cereve cleanser that does not foam. The biggest reason I am asking is that I am not going to be able to afford the Neutragena face cleanser you had listed. One is $29.99 one is $7.99. Let me know please. Thanks, Ellen This is a follow up on that, Angie. No, the Neutragena is NOT that crazy price! That was one source. I was able to get it for under $10. I DID get it and am happy with it. Ellen
I LOVE you. I discovered you two weeks ago and have now modeled my skin care routine after yours. You are so thorough and a stickler for research that it inspires trust. Thank you so much!
Angie, 3 questions!: would you mix your serums in your hand to apply the 3 of them at the same time and sort or consolidate them in one step? Another question. Been using Tretinoin for 3 months and skin sensitivity is gone but I keep peeling. Specially around my mouth. I think winter is not helping... I use niacinamide, hylauranic acid and then Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream. Any ideas? Finally. My eyes have gotten super flaky and peeling when I do what you do with the serum and tretinoin combination. (Avoid putting Tret on eyes but allowing serum to drag it in). How did you work in that step? I wanna the tret to work my eyes too!
I'm peeling too. I wonder why? i want my skin to look like Angie's. I was happy to find Oil of Olay unscented because my skill is sensitive, but i was wrong. I broke out before i ordered all the products she recommends, and i knew i would, i guess i was just hoping i wouldn't.
Why use the clandimycin in the curology formula? Doesn’t it cause antibiotic resistant bacteria? What level of acne warrants a topical antibiotic? I’m also interested if there are multitasking products that can knock off a few of those steps in one. I love watching your routines evolve! I need to get on the two step cleanse method.
Wow Professor Angie! I feel like I've been to University Skin Care! You are so knowledgeable! How did you remember all that! One question: do you let serums dry between applications ? Love your videos! You look fabulous my dear! ❤
Thank you so much Angie! Sometimes all I want is sunscreen in the morning + retin A + moisturizer at night. When I am being good which is most of the time, Vit. C, Co Q 10, then sunscreen. I often just put on Olay after Curology + some of that lip sleeping mask before I hit the pillow.
Thank you all your great videos. I admire your knowledge of skincare ingredients. I have learned so much from you. What is your thoughts on mixing ingredients like peptides and acid, peptides and Vit c etc. The Ordinary says not to mix peptides with direct acid (like Bha) and/or Vit c - and They also say not to mix direct acids and Retinol. I can see that you mix all these ingredients both in your day time and night time skincare regiment 😊
Angie first of all thank you for sharing all of your experience and research. Question; how can you tell which products are making a difference? Do you find that you reach a tolerance with some ingredients? There’s a lot of hype right now about taking oral hydrolyzed collagen, for “collagen collapse”. Have you considered this? Not that you need it, but thats what I’m spending money on right now, love to hear your thoughts.I’m 59 and fighting and I still have some lines on my face. I use retin a, combined by a pharmacy, and it’s just kind of static, I’m not getting more improvement. I’d like to figure out what to do next. I also use drunk elephant protini, and Genufique and a skin dark spot removerthat has; glycolic acids and a sorbitol acid, and resveritrol, but have not seen much results from it. Suggestions? Sorry long question....
I do! I’ve tried so many balms and oil cleansers and they don’t work for my eyes. Yeah it removes the eye makeup but geez. I recently had a chalazion on my eyelid too a clogged oil gland below the eyelid and sometimes I wonder if it’s from this. I’ve since stopped and I’m using simple micellar water and the wondercloth to remove the eyemakeup. It’s not perfect but at least I can see. I would love to hear any alternatives people are using to remove eye makeup if you are having the same blurry vision from balms and oil cleansers too.
Rachel I The Bobbi brown oil cleanser is what I use for my 1st cleanse. It comes in a pump dispenser. No issues with my eyes. I can see immediately without that awful film. It works well when emulsifying, cleans well & still removes waterproof mascara without the film in the eyes. I love it & won’t ever go back to the balms! Hope this helps : )
a ghost I have had this issue at times. What I do now is I use a washcloth to remove the balm, I don’t add water and emulsify. Then I go in with my Cerave hydrating cleanser.
The Ciate London Makeup Melter doesn't leave a film at all for me. It's what I use if I want to remove my eye makeup when I get home, but it's not time for a full cleanse. It's very hydrating. One thing that makes it different from other balms and oils is it still works well when the skin is wet. I've got a lot of waterproof mascara, I sometimes need to follow up my Farmacy Green Clean while in the bath. Green Clean also doesn't leave a film if I emulsify it and rinse really, really well.
I can use the Clinique balm in the shower when I have more 'rinse' time going on...but tend to experience blurriness if using at the sink with a more quick rinse. I keep the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil at my sink now & really loving it, no blurry vision & great makeup remover!
For my lips I use : Nursing care nipple butter. I know it sounds weird but it works great. My husband even said my lips were very soft. I didn't tell him what I use
I bought the Tao after you did the last routine video. They sent me a used one. I was so upset. Called them and they sent out another. You can tell they have been returned before. I would not recommend their cleaner.
Thank you so much. I learned so many new things from both your morning and evening skincare videos. I'm 56 and need lots if moisture. I never thought of layering so many serums and moisturizers. I know this will make a huge difference. Thanks again. Hugs
If I want to do the Nuface treatment in the evening due to time restraints in the morning, at what point would you use it? Right after the cleanse? Thank you for your information, I’ve been following your routine for a couple of years.
Hi Angie, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your in depth reviews and research on products. I have been following your routine for several years now and it is working wonderfully!
Trust your routine more then what a derm may offer BECAUSE having seen you go through the “transformation” over the years! Been hearing a buzz on Good Molecules Niacinamide Toner thats great at reducing pore size. A true inspiration for the slightly mature skin 😘
A little obsessive but ok whatever works! Did buy the take the day off cleansing balm and I really like it. I used to use DHC cleansing oil and this isn’t as greasy. I just use Vera ve after I use the balm
Has she done any vids on all of the procedures done by a cosmetic dermatologist (as mentioned above-Botox, fillers, Fraxel (sp?) laser, etc.)? I’d be interested in watching that.
