Skincare Routine Update! What's NEW at 59 Years Old + A Printable Guide!

[Music] hey everybody it's angie and welcome to hot and flashy in today's video i wanted to give you an update to my skincare routine a lot of you guys have been asking lately for an update on it there's been some new things that i've added you want to know how they're working out how i'm working them in if i'm having success with them and so i have that for you today the other thing that people wanted to see was a printable at home guide which i have done for you this will be on my blog so this is for people who want to follow along and do the skincare the same as me you can print it off you can tape it inside your medicine chest and then you can just follow along every day without being confused about when to use different things so i started my youtube channel and started looking into anti-aging skin care when i turned 50. this year i'm turning 60. so i've been at this for 10 years and i've gotta say i've really seen the changes in my skin i think my skin looks better today than it did back when i was 50 so skin care can do some things for you i always like to address the procedures elephant in the room right at the beginning of this video which is that i do like procedures i do dabble in them i haven't gotten a ton i haven't gotten like a facelift or an eyelid lift or any surgery at all i've tried filler a couple of times but i don't have any filler in my face currently i do like to get botox on a fairly regular basis i do have botox in my forehead and a little bit in my crow's feet right now so my forehead wrinkles are pretty minimal and my 11's are pretty minimal because of that but you know getting botox up here doesn't do anything for your skin on the rest of your face i did have one fraxel dual laser treatment on my face i had two on my neck and my chest what else did i have i had an all therapy done on my neck i really haven't had a ton done to my face so i feel like the difference in my skin from 10 years ago till now really is mainly from skin care and the at-home gadgets that i use all right so let's get into the skincare routine i'm coming to you with no makeup on today i do have on my sunscreen which is a tinted sunscreen so i always start my day by using one of two gadgets and the two gadgets that i use in the morning on alternating mornings are either the omnilux led face mask or i use a micro current device which i'll talk about in a minute but this led mask is red light therapy so as you can see the red lights are on here i have a face mask i have a neck and chest bib and i have a hand mitt that were all sent to me by the company but i did a three month trial on them and i personally was blown away by the before and after pictures you guys know i take a lot of before and after pictures i look at my skin up close all the time i am rarely like wowed by the before and after pictures not only was i wowed by the results after three months but i could start seeing the results happening within like the first three to four weeks and then this just delivered so anyway this is an awesome product highly recommend i have a discount code with omnilux for 10 off my code is different now for 2022 going forward it is hf10 you put that in at checkout and get 10 off your order i'll put a link to omnilux in the info box below the video along with links to everything i'm going to show you in this video the way i use the omnilux masks is when i first wake up in the morning i'm not quite ready to get out of bed yet so i roll over grab them off my bedside table slap them on and i go back to sleep for 10 minutes i don't get up and wash my face i don't do any skincare with it you don't have to do any skincare with it you don't even really have to do it on clean skin the light will penetrate your skin care so you can do this anytime i just happen to like doing it in the morning they sell these little hydro masks with it you can do it with the hydro mask you can do without the hydra mask it doesn't need any conducting gel or anything like that this is the easiest simplest thing to use one thing that i get asked about a lot with the omnilux mask and how i use it is that i still have tretinoin on my face from the night before and in the omnilux frequently asked questions they say that they warn you against using the mask if you're using tretinoin they recommend stopping i personally didn't do that i kept using my tretinoin and i started using the mask and i didn't have any adverse effects so that's one known interaction that they do like to caution you again so just be careful so then on alternating days i use my microcurrent device i have two different microcurrent devices obviously you're not going to have both but since i am an influencer and i had to try both to review both i have the foreo bear and i have the new face trinity i've been using the new face trinity way way longer than the bear but the bear is kind of growing on me the main difference between them is the amount of time that it takes to do a treatment this guy is more of a very slow slow glide on your face it has a five second timer for each glide and so the treatment tends to be about 10 to 15 minutes with the bear there is no five second timer it just has a three minute timer per treatment so if you want to do your whole face in three minutes you just shoot around your face and you're done i tend to go through two three minute cycles on this to do my whole face but i do it much much faster than i do with the new face now these do require conducting gel with them the conductive gel that i use is the new face gel primer this is my favorite i've used a lot of different ones a lot of less expensive ones but they all either like burn my skin or burn my eyes so no change there i've been using these for a long time with this gel primer you can rub it in and leave it on it's too heavy of a coating for me to do that so i do wash it off first i use a wonder cloth to wipe off the gel and then i go ahead in with my neutrogena hydro boost gentle cleanser for sensitive skin i only use non-foaming cleansers on my face because it just doesn't need to be stripped my skin used to be oily now it's getting more and more dry as the years go on so i don't use anything foamy or anything stripping alright the first step in my am skincare routine is my timeless twenty percent vitamin c plus e plus berylic acid serum been using this for years no change here put a couple of pumps onto my fingertips and i rub it around my face without putting it on my eyelids or my lips i always make sure to get everything close up under my eyes and also on my upper lip and i also take it down to just beneath my jawline to help fight any sagging there normally i would put this on my neck if my neck wasn't irritated this time of year my neck is very very irritated so i'm not using any acids on my neck and also because i'm testing a new product and i'm doing the testing on my neck and i'll talk about that in a minute and i just rapid fire my serums all on i don't wait in between i don't wait for them to dry your skin is more absorbent when it's slightly damp so the next thing i put on is my ordinary lactic acid 10 serum this is an alpha hydroxy acid it exfoliates and brightens i just put a couple of drops of this in my fingertips and i rub it all over my face the same places as the vitamin c serum there is a change to the next step in my routine it's just being pushed back a step because i inserted something new in here i've switched over from curology to agency curology is the company that i was getting my prescription tretinoin from and they have launched a sister company called agency and now i'm getting my tretinoin through agency because i can also get hydroquinone through agency and you can't get that with curology so this portion of the video is sponsored by agency so much like curology agency is a skin care company that offers you prescription active ingredients that are prescribed for you by a dermatology provider and then shipped directly to your home but curology is really geared more towards acne and so they created agency to be geared more towards the issues of aging skin with aging skin our problems tend to be dark spots wrinkles fine lines and lack of firmness right so they can offer you ingredients that will help to tackle all those things so with curology i would only apply it once at night because that was tretinoin and you have to use that at night but with agency i actually get two different bottles one's called the future formula this is my tretinoin that i use at night so you see that in my night routine but this is my dark spot formula this is what i use twice a day so morning and night i work this into my skincare routine in the third position just mainly because it's thicker and i like to use my more watery acids first this bottle as its name would suggest dark spot formula is for reducing dark spots and i was getting some brand new i mean i already had age spots that i was fighting on my cheeks and that actually my omnilux face mask help with a lot but because i am nearing 60 you know your skin just wants to keep letting you know how old you are and so it was popping up some new age spots on my forehead and so i decided to give this a try to see how it could work on those i'm still on my first bottle so i've only been using it like a month a month and a half and i'm already seeing a difference in this age spot on my head and now i feel like it's fading already so this actually contains four active ingredients that tackle dark spots i only use this as a spot treatment i pretty much put it up here on my forehead and on my cheeks and down my nose and a little bit on my chest and then some on the backs of my hands what my formula contains is four percent hydroquinone which is a prescription ingredient that you cannot get over the counter here in the u.s four percent kojic acid three percent azolic acid and 2.5 hydrocortisone and the hydrocortisone is in there to help keep your skin from getting irritated because using hydroquinone with tretinoin can be irritating and so far i haven't had any irritation so the next thing i put on is my timeless coenzyme q10 serum i've been using this for years this one i put on all over my face including my eyelids and my lips i normally would put this one on my neck as well but where i'm using the droplet now i'm not using anything else on my neck just to test the droplet and see how it goes so if you are not using the droplet go ahead and put this on your neck as well then i top it all off with a nice lightweight moisturizer this is a little bit of a change i used to use the sarah vpm lotion i've been using that for years and years and years i recently switched over to vani cream daily facial moisturizer i switched over to this mainly because my agency future formula contains niacinamide four percent and my skin tends to be a little bit sensitive if i go over like five percent with niacinamide and so the sarah vpm has niacinamide in it so if you're not using agency you're not getting niacinamide i would stick with the sarah vpn otherwise if you're getting niacinamide elsewhere you could switch to the vana cream i also just wanted to try this with the exception of the niacinamide this contains all the same ingredients as the sarah vpm so you're getting the ceramides the hyaluronic acid the glycerin all in a nice inexpensive drugstore priced package okay the reason that i didn't apply any of that skin care to my neck is because i'm doing a trial on the droplet this is a device that sprays skin care into your skin they say it gets it 20 cell layers deep and so i'm doing a trial on this i'm not using it on my face because i'm doing the trial on the agency products right now and i don't want to mess with that but as we know my neck is not aging as well as my face because i can't use a lot of my active ingredients on it so i thought oh my gosh what a perfect you know way to test this to see if it really can get the retinol 20 cell layers deeper and if i could get a better result using retinol with this that i can using retinaldehyde which is what i normally use or using their collagen serum during that time i'm not using my other active ingredients on my neck just to see what this can do i'm using the collagen in the morning and the retinol at night so since i'm using on my neck and it works best when it's spraying down i go into my bedroom and i lay in bed and i spray the skincare onto my neck after i use the droplet then i go back into my bathroom to put on my neck moisturizer which is my derma e eczema relief cream this i love if i have any kind of irritation and it's also a great moisturizer so if you have last step in my morning routine is always sunscreen you guys know how important it is to sunscreen especially after a lifetime of sun damage you don't want to get any more so i try to get as close to an spf 50 as i can every day i've been using mainly the same sunscreens for years they are all mineral just because my skin tends to be very sensitive and irritated by chemical sunscreens but whatever sunscreen you love that you will use every day that's the one that's going to be the best one for you so i encourage you to use it and use a lot of it because putting on a pea-sized amount or putting on makeup with sunscreen is not enough sunscreen is dose dependent and you need about a quarter teaspoon for your face and your neck every single day to get the spf on the label so if you're not sure how much a quarter teaspoon is just go to your kitchen get out a teaspoon measure out some sunscreen tomorrow morning and see how much you actually need to put on it's going to seem like a ton at first but believe me if you get a nice one you can rub it in your face do your ears do your eyebrows do way up in your hairline do all the way down your neck and then put a little bit more on your chest and the backs of your hands because those are exposed to the elements and the sunshine all day every day doesn't matter if it's raining snowing summer winter cloudy sunscreen every single day if you're indoors doesn't matter sunscreen on my current sunscreen routine is that i am using the dr g green mild up sun plus spf 50 plus pa plus plus plus plus sunscreen as my base layer i put on about a quarter teaspoon of that to get a good base of spf 50 and then on top of it because it does leave me a little bit of a white cast i go in with elta md uv elements spf 44 and these two together are so beautiful because this one tends to be a little bit shiny on me but the dr g is a little bit more matte or satin and so these two layered are like the perfect mix i used to mix them in my hands but then i'm like well i'm kind of bringing the spf 50 down so now i just put this one on first and then put this one on top and it really takes the shine on this one down for me and it leaves the most beautiful finish like this is what i'm wearing today on my skin and i just love how it looks so that's a great combo another great combo is the dr g with the australian gold botanical spf 50. this is an awesome sunscreen but it can be drying and it can be a little bit heavy but if you layer it over the dr g or mix it with the dr g because they're both spf 50s it gives you the most beautiful sunscreen that's not drying that's a little bit more lightweight and they have a great finish all right well that seemed to take forever for something that i was just going to go over quickly but anyway let's move on to the evening skincare routine i do a double cleanse the first cleanse is an oil-based balm i use the clinique take the day off cleansing balm i rub it into my dry skin it removes makeup and breaks up waterproof mascara and eyeliner really well i then splash it with water and that emulsifies it and all my makeup and my tenacious water resistant sunscreen goes right down the drain i use my wonder cloth again and i give my face a rub with the wonder cloth this is an exfoliating cloth and it helps to really get off the makeup then my second cleanse of my double cleanse is with the neutrogena hydro boost cleanser for sensitive skin i use my towel clean or orbital cleansing brush give my face a little scrubby dummy this brush rotates i just rub it around my skin i think this has like maybe a one or a two minute cycle i don't use it for the whole time i just gently rub it around my face but i gotta say my mom got one of these this year and she loves the thing because she loves to exfoliate and really do like almost dry brushing and she just does the whole two-minute cycle and she is so happy with it the reason i love it the most is because this is a sanitizing base and so it keeps the bristles on the brush head bacteria free so that you're not transferring any germs or bacteria onto your skin that can cause acne or you know whatever so i have a 60 off discount with tau for the aura so the link for that is in the info box below the video grab yourself one of these little cuties they come in new colors this year so that is a great one that i've been using for years and years and years and i still love it all right this next step is kind of an optional one sometimes they do it sometimes i don't it just depends if i reach for it at night but sometimes i'll use a toner in between washing my face and going in with my skincare it's the isn't tree green tea fresh toner i like getting green tea into my skincare routine because it is an antioxidant and it's really good for your skin so sometimes i'll just splash this on my face all right then the first step in my evening skin care routine is that i apply my agency future formula again this portion of the video sponsored by agency this is where i get my prescription tretinoin and as we know tretinoin is the most effective anti-aging skin care ingredient that you can get and that will really do the heavy lifting in turning back the hands of time the future formula just like with the dark spot formula also contains four active ingredients so between these two you're getting eight active ingredients and for the price that is really amazing you can try it for the first month for free for just 4.95 for the shipping and handling so my future formula i have tretinoin at 0.1 percent azelaic acid at five percent tran x amic acid at five percent and niacinamide at four percent so this is the first thing that i put on and i put it all over my face but i don't put it on my eyelids and i don't put it on my lips the tretinoin in here is the ingredient that can be very very irritating and that you have to ease in slowly with so that you can use it for the long haul and so one of the things that your dermatology provider can help you with is starting in at a lower percentage and working your way up slowly over time so that you don't go through the ugly phase the skin irritation phase the peeling phase i mean if you want to go slow enough you can avoid the peeling completely you can avoid the irritation completely it's going to take you longer but i feel like you're going to have more success so really love the agency service so far so good with your first order of agency they'll also send you the cloud care duo so they have a cream oil cleanser and a weightless whip moisturizer i've used both of these i think these are both nice products if you really want to simplify your skincare routine and not have to be you know going out to buy all these separate things i don't think you can go wrong with these i especially like the moisturizer this contains ceramides and shea butter and hyaluronic acid and it's a really nice lightweight but really moisturizing moisturizer like it's a perfect thing to use day and night then the next step in my skincare routine is my dark spot formula this is what i use twice a day so morning and night i only use this as a spot treatment i pretty much put it up here on my forehead and on my cheeks and down my nose and a little bit on my chest and then some on the backs of my hands if i was not using droplet on my neck the next thing i would do would be to put on my may love moonlight retinaldehyde serum on my neck my neck is too sensitive to use full strength prescription tretinoin so i use the next best thing which is over the counter retinaldehyde so that would be the next step if you're using the retinal to hide on your neck all right so back to the face then the next serum i put on is my timeless matrixyl synth 6 serum this fights six different signs of aging it's a really watery lightweight serum i just put a few drops in my fingertips i rub it all over my face all over my neck my eyelids my lips no change there the next serum i use is may love the hydrator i use this one all year round but i especially love it in the winter because you know my skin tends to be a little bit drier in the winter and this one contains panthenol and resveratrol and resveratrol is a really good antioxidant to have in there so i put this one on no change here i've been using this for a few years i love it i put it all over my face eyelids lips and neck if i wasn't using the droplet so once i have all those serums on my face i pull out the droplet to do my neck treatment i put in a retinol capsule i go back into my bedroom lay on my bed to get the gravity effect with this then i come back into my bathroom to do my final lock it all in night moisturizer the one i use in the winter during the cold dry heating season is olay regenerist ultra rich this one is fantastic it's got niacinamide glycerin hyaluronic acid a couple of peptides it's a really great cream and it's so thick and emollient if you have dry skin and you haven't tried this give this a try it will keep your skin just super hydrated all night long i know in a video like this where i put it all together in one video it seems like a lot but when i have my products like lined up in my medicine chest and i just run down the line and rapid fire them on it really doesn't take any time at all it's maybe three to five minutes tops to put everything on including my sunscreen in the morning and probably less than that because there's no sunscreen maybe two to three minutes tops to put on my serums and my creams at night so i'm so happy to be able to share it with you guys and i hope that if you try it that you will love it as well and love it as much as i do so that is it for today's video everybody head to the info box below
