SKINCARE ROUTINE - this is the schedule that Lucy wrote for me, that I followed for 6 weeks!
Base Routine
AM
Tatcha Cleanser
Ren Glow Tonic (Optional, perhaps every second day?)
Summer Fridays Vitamin C (If possible wait a little bit between this step and next)
Glow Recipe Plum Plump
Summer Fridays Moisturiser
Mecca Sunscreen
Optional addition of Glow Recipe Mist, just go ham and use it whenever you want as a top up!
PM
Go to Oil Cleanser
Tatcha Cleanser
Glow Recipe Watermelon Mist (optional, if not doing rest of routine immediately/if showering etc)
Glow Recipe Plum Plump Serum
Summer Fridays Moisturiser
Go to Skincare Face Hero Oil (optional, listen to your skin)
The next two night routines are to be swapped between. Probably recommend two of your base routine at alt 1, then two of your base routine again and alt 2, but see how your skin feels, and build up to 1 base, 1 alt if you feel up to it!
PM Alternate V1
Go to Oil Cleanser
Tatcha Cleanser
Glow Recipe Watermelon Mist (optional, if not doing rest of routine immediately/if showering etc)
Sunday Riley Good Genes (if possible, wait a bit between this step and next)
Glow Recipe Plum Plump Serum
Summer Fridays Moisturiser
Go to Skincare Face Hero Oil (optional, listen to your skin)
PM Alternate V2
Go to Oil Cleanser
Tatcha Cleanser
Glow Recipe Plum Plump Serum OR Watermelon mist, just need a bit of hydration and slip as the Luna Oil isn't that wet,
Sunday Riley Luna Face Oil (use enough to cover full face, rub in until the blue tint turns clear.

thanks for posting this link! I don't have the funds for the luxury brands (though it was fun to watch) but want to invest in a skin routine that's worth doing.

@mariamakermanMarz 2 года назад

Goes to show that it is worth investing in urself in smart way when down the time line it would cost u so much to use less healthy cosmetic procedures to achieve same result temporarily and it would cost thousands and skin would not be actually healthy tho, this might seem a lot but these products will last long time and it is working inside out actually making you look and feel better, younger for less money 🤑💰 , moreover it is not gonna damage ur skin like other alternatives that cost so much and changes the shape and structure of skin, be smarter and kinder to yourself so u can be better for others that you love is what I learned from Alex and I love that she is finally treating herself once in a while 💜💕🥰that inspires me to know that it is ok to take care of myself as well when I put so much effort in work and family

@born_confused 2 года назад

Yep I'm a skin nerd and am 44 so I've tried a lot of different brands and price points of skincare. Expensive doesn't necessarily mean better. I don't spend anymore than €25 on a product. The best affordable brands I've found that work are the inkey list, CeraVe, la Roche posay, Neutrogena, Vichy, superdrug brand, pixi.

Well, what Alex likes and recommend is for her taste and skin only, the rest can only go after what she recommend, but all we need to do is go after what we like for our skin. For me it's the Danish brand Pure and Care (PUCA) I was lucky enough to try their Vitamin A Rethinol day/night and eye cream + serum, now I have bought their Tea tree package with day cream, serum, toner and face foam wash + a spot roll-on if you break out. Bought that over a webpage (from the store Normal) if any Danes wonders. So I'm looking forward to see how that helps my skin from my acne problems, (bad enough that's it's a medical issue and got a medicin against it over 8 month some years ago) So I hope it works as well af their Rethinol products.

@finding_fae 2 года назад

I would love to see a budget friendly (and possibly eco-friendly?) version of a more intensive skincare routine like this - I WANT to do better for my skin (I do a cleansing bar and call it a day lol) but a routine like this is way outside of my single-parent budget >.

@heranails8363 2 года назад

I would recommend you to look into inkey list and the ordinary ;) (I think they are available in most countries) their products are around 10 EUR each and you don't need a lot of them. And a cheap perfume and alcohol free cleansing oil from the drugstore is more than enough to cleanse properly and remove make up without stripping your skin barrier. These days there are a lot of budget friendly options with good formulations and working ingredients, so you it's not necessarily a compromise to get cheaper products :). Another tip: the most researched ingredients for skincare are retinol, vitamin C and niacinamide. All the other ones are more or less a might/might not actually have an effect on skin. Do some research on how to introduce them into your skincare regime, they can be irritating because they actually change your skin! Start with low percentages and slowly work your way up. I hope this helps

This is the perfect motivation video for me, my skin care for the last 5+ years has pretty much been "oh well, my teenage acne went away so I guess i never have to wash my face outside of showering" and I kind of figured it would take another 5 years of sunscreen and moisturizing to undo that mistake. Nope, just the right stuff, a real regimen, and I could actually have skin that looks its right age!

@nicolemarie3991 2 года назад

I love how we’re starting with a solid luxury and high end routine before trying/reviewing more affordable products. It makes so much sense. Many of them are just as good and It’s easier to judge if you start with ‘the best’ and then compare products to that. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this video! I had a very similar experience and was so excited to see Alex go through the same thing. Regarding disbelief: When I saw this I thought, ‘the trolls will be out in full force.’ It’s frustrating but it goes like this: celebrities/influencers with no integrity use face-tune/photoshop to fake results to make money -> digital/multimedia creatives with integrity call it out -> justified outrage from the online community directed at legit integrity issues -> digital/multimedia creatives with integrity show how their first chemical exfoliant changed their skin -> some people: ‘But i’m not done being outraged. Everyone must be lying. That way, I’ll never be duped again!’

I remember being told by someone working in a beauty/cosmetics department that the shaving creams are actually one of the things that dull shaving razors the most. And I know some lip balms will actually make your lips dry and peel to make you keep using it, thinking that it's working. Because of the damage they cause, it only feels hydrated when you've got the lip balm on. But it's just going to cause them to dry out and peel again when it wears off.

And be careful when applying a mist right on top of SPF. Especially mist that contains oils, like that one you are using. It will break down the SPF layer, in the same way a oil cleanser will do.

I recommend going to a dermatologist to discuss skincare needs and wants (and of course to get a skin checkup). Using a prescribed retinoid, like Tretinoin, will work wonders for the skin and could even lessen the cost of skincare. I use Tretinoin one night and Timeless Vitamin C serum the other night in conjunction with drugstore skincare, and my skin has never looked better. Pro tip for any other Americans is to not buy the retinoid at the dermatologist but rather get it from your pharmacist. Tretinoin was around $90 at my dermatologist but only $10ish from the pharmacist. It didn't come in as nice of a package, but I'll sacrifice packaging to save that amount of money.

Few tips, before I watch further. Maybe it will be mentioned later. But HA serum needs to be applied on damp skin. Damp from water or damp from toner/mist. Otherwise it may start to pull water from the skin itself.

As someone with a lot of sensory issues I am on the other end of the fragrence argument :) I already can't deal with the feeling of such products, I do not also want to have to deal with a migraine starting smell! Also many people with sensitive skin react to fragrences, so that is also something to keep in mind.

@shanialoos2862 2 года назад

I don’t think many people realise how much of an impact the right skincare regime can have. In previous video’s Alex talked about not really using any skincare or just putting on moisturiser. Certain ingredients can really make a difference. Lucy knows what she is doing and has a passion for it. Thanks for the amazing video Alex ❤️ 🕊

I used to have a super long skincare routine and I started cutting it down when I quit filming beauty reviews. If you have combo-oily skin w texture I highly recommend First Aid Beauty Radiance pads. They made all the difference and I only need to use once a week.

Hearing you raving about the vitamin c on your forehead made me give it a try whilst watching this video. I had a bottle that I don’t really use. It totally gave an instant plumping effect. I’m 52 so it may take longer to have a lasting effect but I’m going to give it a go. Thanks Alex.

If anyone's interested, I leave my routine here. I'm 37, with mature oily and acne-prone skin. The products I use are on the affordable side, at least if you live in Europe. This has been my routine for about 4 years now: MORNING - Cleanser: either SVR Sebiaclear Gel Moussant, Vichy Normaderm Phytosolution Cleanser or La-Roche Posay Effaclar Cleanser (I change them every time one runs up, as my skin loves being fed different cleansers) - Eyes: Vichy Mineral 89 Eyes - Serum: SVR Sebiaclear Serum - Moisturizer: SVR Sebiaclear Mat+Pores or Vichy Normaderm Mattifying Correcting Care (I also change them once one runs up) - Sunscreen: Vichy Capital Soleil Matiffying 3-in-1 SPF50 NIGHT - Oil cleanser: my favourite is Caudalie's Oil Cleanser, but I also use Payot Milky Cleansing Oil and DHC Cleansing Oil - Cleanser: same ones as in the morning routine - Eyes: same as in morning routine - Serum: La Roche Posay Effaclar Ultra Concentrate Serum and Hyaluronic B5 Serum (I use one on one night, and the other on the other night) - Moisturizer: Vichy Normaderm Phytosolution Double-Corrective Care (different from the morning one, this one is richer. Also, I only apply it just before getting into bed, as I like to leave in the serum, to really sink in) EXTRAS: as localized corrections, for my melasma for example, using glabridine has really helped. For really dry patches, which I get every now and then, Bio Oil works wonders. EDIT: I forgot about my weekly face masks! There's 3 that really do bounce my skin up. Whenever I'm breaking up for some reason (PMS or too much comfort food 🤣), I use Caudalie's Vinopure Purifying Mask - pimples are just gone overnight. For a deep cleanse, as my oily skin needs it, I use TBS Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Mask. And for a pump of brightness, when I'm more dull (usually, when I don't drink enough water or if I'm not getting enough sleep) I use TBS Pumpkin Instant Radiance Mask. I use them with at least 3 days in between, I also multi-mask in one go if needed. Hopefully, this helps someone :)

Really good sunscreen if you’re outside of Australia: High end: Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 $36 for 2oz; is so moisturizing for dry skin that I didn’t need a separate moisturizer, gives a beautiful glow, and it didn’t clog my pores or sting my eyes, not fragranced, but somehow smells amazing, this is a mineral sunscreen Mid-price: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Cooling Water Lotion Suncreen SPF 60 $36.99 for 5oz (goes on sale frequently); it is moisturizing, but not as much as JM, but gives a very wet look to the skin without feeling heavy, but it stings my eyes, I think there’s added fragrance because it’s a very light scent, not sunscreen-like, but it is a chemical sunscreen, so it stings my eyes probably because it’s a combo of both Affordable: Pacifica Sea & C Sheer Face Serum SPF 55 $18 for 1.7oz (goes on sale frequently); it is about as moisturizing as LRP, and gives a similar dewy skin look as both JM & LRP, but doesn’t sting my eyes, has a different scent than anything I’ve smelled, it’s not unpleasant but it is distinctively ocean-like, luckily I can’t keep smelling it once it’s on my face

Personally, I am a person with oily skin and I HATE looking shiny oder glowy but it suits you and one can see that you are feeling good and are content with the routine. Stay with everything that makes you happy. I loved the video and all the information and Lucy and you together - it’s a vibe. Lots of love, stay strong and keep going. ❤️

I'm one of those people who is allergic to scents. I don't wear makeup because I'm either allergic to the scent or something in it irritates my skin. I stick to LaRoche Posay sunscreen and their lipikar eczema cream with the occasional face scrub, but I don't remember the brand because a tube lasts me a year or so. I'm lucky to have generally good skin but I also stay out of the sun because even with sunscreen I may turn crispy.

Great job, Alex! You and your skin look lovely. One tip is that many skincare/makeup reviewers will list their age and skin type/concerns in the description box above any recommendations. I know you mentioned it in the video but it would be a helpful habit to get into for these types of videos going forward. Because skin care needs change dramatically with age and skin type/concerns it can really help to know how analogous you are to the reviewer you’re watching. Anyway, great content and I’m so happy to see Archie!!

I’m a big skincare person, and my MIL was visiting from the UK. She’s in her mid 70’s, has never had any kind of skincare routine, and asked me how she can get rid of her forehead wrinkles. Oh how I had to bite my tongue. I wanted to tell her that she needed either a plastic surgeon or a time machine. 😂 Tried to get her a cleanser, moisturiser and mask and she said ‘oh I can’t bother with all that’. We left with a night cream that she probably used twice then forgot about. TLDR don’t be like my MIL. Get a cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen you like and can afford, and use them every day.
