I am a 6th grade teacher. The other day one of students came to school after a few days at the beach. Her face was showing the signs of a severe sunburn: red and peeling. I told her I was going to give her the best advice she would ever get from me and that she would thank me years later: Use sunscreen daily and never allow yourself to burn again. Of course, I got that "look" that only middle schoolers can give, but I tried. Thanks for a great video covering many bases. Hope they listen!:)
Carol A Carol, I know that look that middle schoolers give. I'm with 7th and 8th graders. I love how whatever they think comes flying out of their mouth...well, most of the time.
You know what the trick is Vita? STAY OUT OF THE SUN!!! It's an evil orb of death that will cause nasty hyper-pigmentation and possible pre cancers/ skin cancers. I'm 52 years old and live in Florida. 40 years ago when all my friends were baking themselves in the sun using baby oil (Yes BABY OIL, no SPF for them, it slows the tan down) I was in the shade with sunscreen. Wow, what a difference in my skin now as opposed to some of the girls I've seen since. I look easily 10 years younger then they do. You guys have great self tanners available for that sunkissed look that we never had. Use those instead. 52 may seem far away to a 17 year old, but I promise you taking care of your skin now will make a huge difference in 40 years. Now go out there and have fun, and stay out of the sun! (or at least use SPF 50. LOL)
Thanks everyone for your words of advice! In fairness I'm more than likely to have fun in the sun this summer, but I usually wear a baseball cap to shield my face and wear plenty of spf for my pale Irish skin! You are right though, staying out of the sun when possible is possibly best, and normally for me it's far too warm in full sun so I prefer to sit in dappled shade with a book☺️
Im a 23 year old male, I've been watching your videos for a few years now! I use sunscreen religiously, use a vitamin c serum daily, and I've just started on Retin A. So hopefully I'll stay looking like this for a while haha *fingers crossed* Don't know if its too young, but hey cant hurt right?
jackkmiller1 I think you may be a bit young to start on the retain a. Not totally sure but I think prolonged use can cause problems for some people, so I would wait until there are some signs of aging before starting on it. At least till your 30s
+TheNicoliyah Since I already got the prescription from my doctor I think I'll just see how I go. But I do agree with you, I should probably wait a little while!
jackkmiller1 this is a year old, but if you haven’t already try the powder from the ordinary and you can add and cocktail it with creams and serums. It’s a vitamin C serum. I’m 27 and I’m till not going to use a Retin A, to strong and I don’t think I need it yet. I use a lot of lower grad forms of retinol for now and will strengthen as I get older.
I so regret laying out in the sun with the baby oil and iodine and reflectors to get more sun. My arms and legs are paying for it now. This was such a great video, Angie! Have a wonderful week. Love, Melissa
I"ve used Retin A for years but often had to stop using it due to peeling and flaking skin. The tip I learned from you (and never heard from several different dermatologists) was to avoid using it on corners of my mouth, nose and eyes This has allowed me to gradually go up to the strongest strength of Retin-A, either using it every night or every other night, without any side effects Thank you, that tip made a world of difference.
Glad I started in my 30s. I think if you're old enough to wear makeup then you need to start taking care of your skin...use a sunscreen and a good moisturizer. Thanks Angie!
In seriously hope me being a good skincare addict since my teens has helped me. The only thing I never paid attention to until recently (27), is sunscreen. I know right? I don’t know I just didn’t but i use acids and low grade retinoids, toners, drums, oils. Foaming cleansers aren’t good for anyone at any age. I use vitamin C, Niacinamide, matrixl. I’m not kidding I’m obsessed with my skin and skincare. I don’t use silicone, fragrances, mineral oil.
Amara Sunflower Oh I take good care of my skin now, have for many years.:) I just wish I started sunscreen much earlier. I grew up during a time, like Angie, when it wasn't used much. It was all about baking in the sun.
Yes, and when I was younger, I was very friendly with a girl who was 1/2 Spanish. People used to compare us all of the time and ask "Are you going to get as dark as your friend?" Hey - it was always like I wasn't as good because I had lighter skin. I am glad that I used sunscreen.
I used to watch The Golden Girls with my mom. I remember someone came to Sophia Petrillo (Dorothy's mom) and said, "I need your advice..." and before she could get another word out, Sophia said "Moisturize moisturize moisturize!" lol
I just started worrying about my skins and so GLAD to have found you on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing your advice with the world. I will be starting slowly with your anti-aging routine, wish me luck!
This is the best anti aging video I've ever seen and I really have watched a lot, I mean literally hundreds! Succinct , extremely informative and easy to understand and not biased towards any particular brand, with options for all budgets. So, thank you very much and greetings from London x
Great video! I am forwarding to my daughter for sure. The only thing I would add is sunglasses! And stress the chest damage that occurs, I have so many friends with really awful alligator skin on their décolleté. And maybe little something about nutrition and hydration. Though that could be a whole separate video. I am a huge fan and fellow skin care junkie...I've been using sunscreen forever and retain a for 15 years since I turned 40 and it's really paid off. Now with your advice, I've been adding the timeless serums and what a huge difference that makes as well. Thanks for all the work and research you do and for keeping it reasonably affordable!
i'm 13 and i'm DEFINITELY going to start wearing more sunscreen now! my skin is already very tanned and i have a lot of acne scars and now im regretting not taking better care of my skin 3 years ago. it's not too late for me, so i'm definitely starting now so i can look just as beautiful as you once i'm in my 50's! cheers!!
I finally got my tretinoin cream, starting at .05%. My family doctor had no issue giving me an RX while I was there for something else, and I've heard you can walk into those drugstore clinics and ask for a prescription. I'll probably use this strength for the next year, and then bump up to .1%. Tip: Try the GoodRX app for the prescription - I got a 20gm tube for $36 at Walmart (reg $104)! Wonderful video, Angie! You've been a huge help with all the info and products you've shared!
Thank you so much for this video. I am 33 and have been wearing sunscreen religiously for 12 years. You have gotten me totally hooked on Cerave products and I love them.
Thanks Angie, you were the person who pointed me in the right direction of what to use on skin and you don't just tell us what to do and than we search for it or quick write down what you just said. My point is I'm grateful for all the links to the products you recommend, you are the most thorough person on you tube that I have found. Can't thank you enough for all the research you do on products you use and the proof is you and your beautiful skin. Can't do any better than that, you look amazing and in your early 40's. Just wanted you to know how much you've helped me and I know many others. Hugs to you
Im 18 and using sunscreen every single say and mild retinol products as well at vitamin c and salicylic acid! Never too early to start taking care of your skin in my opinion! Thanks for the great video Angie it is so so helpful and so informative
I love and appreciate this video so much. I am 32 and I just started thinking about anti-aging and really taking care of my skin. I have always moisturized because of my ethnicity, can't avoid it, but I never knew where to start when it cam to preventing the signs of aging. I was also taught that because of my dark skin tone that I didn't need sunscreen or simply it doesn't take all that but I am seeing now that those comments are simply not true. Because of you I am wearing sunscreen daily. I just started a very simple day and night routine, as well. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
great video. Sunscreen is very important. My grand daughter is 11. when she's with me Sunscreen all the time. been doing that since she was very little. I tell her she will thank me later lol . I have noticed she uses it more
Beth Gramkow Ha ha that made me smile. My mum did absolutely no skincare, she looks good still (lucky genes) but I am a skincare obsessive and its rubbed off on my daughter who is 22 and has a really simple but good skincare routine. I am not unhappy and think she will be grateful when she gets to my age
Good video Angie, but don't forget exercise - very important for general health as well as skin health. You do need a sunscreen that lasts through an outdoor exercise though. My favorite "running" sunscreen is from Juice Beauty their sport SPF 30 sunscreen. I also sometimes add one of the powder sunscreens - Chantecaille has a good one that is also a bronzer, and also Colorescience has some good mineral powder sunscreens for touchups.
I'm 47 and have really been into skin care and anti aging the last year or year and a half. Been living the Ordinary products and taking better care of my skin with cleaning and moisturizing.
Thanks to you I have really stepped up my skin care and use of SPF all the time. I am the oldest of 4 sisters and often get asked if I am the youngest. Of course I am the only one who doesn't tan or smoke. Appreciate all you do. By the way, your makeup looks gorgeous
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love watching makeup and beuty channels, but I can't do the kind of makeup a lot of the younger gurus do, it would just look silly on me. I'm 40 years now and if I look half as fresh as you when I'm 50 I would be very thankful. Thank you for making great videos.
Great video, Angie. I'm glad to hear you not pushing Retin A on 20-30 year olds for anti-aging. It is so harsh and requires real dedication. A retinoid or Retinol product will work just as well - maybe throwing in a lactic acid peel every so often. I know at our age once you are on Retin A, you will probably never stop using it unless you start to have issues like Brianna Stanko talked about and had to stop using it and I'm guessing she is in her early 40's (forgive me if I am way off). So god-willing we are looking at 20+ years of using it. Can't imagine starting in my 30's and using it daily for 40-50 years! 😄
Hey Angie! I just wanna say thank you! I'm 39 (just last March) and started using a few things you had mentioned in some of your older videos that I ran across!! I am so, so sensitive to smells and have such a hard time finding skin care!! I am getting ready to start on the vitamin c you recommend (waiting for extra dropper bottles to come in the mail) and I have just introduced the retinol from over the counter!! But, I have noticed a huge difference just in the cleansers and lotions you recommend!!! I do have an salicylic acid lotion that I use and cera ve cleanser I also trade out in the morning for the moisturizing cleanser you recommend. Due to acne I have some scarring, dark spots and rough patches. Makeup application is smoother!! Since my skin is happier, it breaks out less and my pores love the witch hazel!! lol I am rambling, but cannot thank you enough!!! 💕💕
I started good skincare in my late 20s plus I'm African-American which really helps slow down the aging process. I'm 40 now, I have sensitive skin / eczema. I love Garnier Moisture Bomb SPF 30 and ROC deep wrinkle cream with AHA and Retinol this is an awesome product.
You are aging in reverse, Angie! Each video you look younger! I have wanting a video like this from you. I'm in my late twenties but I have just had my third child and starting to think a lot about anti-aging. Thank you!
A great serum I found for mornings (I'm 34) is by Schaf. It's a Canadian brand. It's their "radiance firming serum." It contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, & peptides. All the ingredients I was looking for in my morning routine. It's not cheap, but mid priced. It saves me though because I don't have to buy individual serums for all those ingredients. With Ordinary skincare, you could probably do better price wise, but I personally don't care for the texture of their products (i.e. - you don't use it if you don't enjoy using it right). So Schaf may be a good suggestion for 20/30s subs of your channel. Huge fan! Makeup wise we are the same, so basically I don't buy a foundation unless you reviewed it. Have a great day!
Thank you for this video Angie! I am 34 and never had much of a skin care routine (aside from occasionally putting body lotion on my face at night) until I found your channel. You really inspired me to start doing better and you're recommendations are always spot on! You are very knowledgeable and deliver your information in a very genuine way. Please don't ever stop making videos!! I would be lost lol you are beautiful, all of your hard work shows. Have a good one! 🤗🤗
Another great video, so thank you. I purchased the Cerave Skin Renewing serum as my first retinol product to use on my dry, sensitive skin. But I was disappointed to discover that it contains alcohol, which is right before retinol in the ingredient list. Purified Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Polysorbate 20, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, PEG-40 Stearate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyacetophenone, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Behentrimonium Methosulphate, Cichorium Intybus (Chicory) Root Extract, Tocopherol, Niacinamide, Alcohol, Retinol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Silica, Potassium Phosphate, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 6-II, Phytosophingosine, Cholesterol, Carbomer, Ceramide 1
I'm very lucky. My mother started me on sunscreen when i was like 13. Also I remember using a lot of sunscreen when I was a kid. My mom also loved skincare so I got it from her, she had amazing skin. When I was 15 I got terrible cystic acne and then I really started taking care of my skin more seriously. Chemical peels saved my skin and since then I've been a huge fan of taking care of my skin and using the best (but still affordable) products. And Angie it doesnt look like you started at 50, I swear, your skin looks great! And yes I need more antioxidants, that Im lacking!!
Great video. I will be sharing this video with my daughter who is in her mid thirties. I really appreciate that you share products that are readable available and affordable.
Angie -- you speak the truth. But one other thing. NEVER SMOKE. Or if you are a smoker, STOP! It is not only bad for your heart and lungs, it will make you wrinkled. I probably don't look bad for 70 (except for gravity jowls), mainly because I always stayed out of the sun and never smoked. What do your suggest for gravity effects on face, Angie?
Hi Elaine~ I'm not sure anything topical will help too much with gravity related issues... for those I think you need to consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They have all kinds of options and know how to combine modalities for best results. xo ~angie
Thanks for recommendating the Australian Gold! I love it!! it works well under my makeup, doesnt irritate my eyes, and doesn't have a white cast! It's perfect!
If I could go back to my 13 year old self, I would tell myself to wear sunscreen! Now that I am 65 it might be too late. I have it all.......wrinkles, basil cell carcinoma and the big old melanoma. Young ladies, please use your sunscreen!
Like other subbies 'of a certain age' I have forwarded this to my beautiful daughter Kerys in the hope she will start a skin regime far earlier than her wrinkly mama did! Angie you make it all so easy to understand, thank you!
Thank you Angie for yet another super informative video. I have a 13y/o daughter who runs cross country, track and rides horses so she is out in sun frequently for long period of time. I have talked with her many times about the importance of wearing /getting into the habit of using sunscreen EVERY SINGLE DAY and to reapply every couple of hours especially when outside. I have tried purchasing many different types of sunscreen in the hopes that if she finds one she really like she will use it regularly. She is using it more than she did a year ago but still not as often as I know she should. I am going to have her watch this video too as I hope hearing someone else stress the importance will have more impact on her.
Hi Lynette~ When my daughters were active in sports I was able to get them to keep a sunscreen sport stick in their sports bag. They liked Neutrogena or Banana Boat stick sunscreens. My older daughter also liked MD SolarSciences Mineral Creme spf 30. I hope you can get her to use it more!
Thank you for your video Angie! Just to share, I am over 30 and due to bad sugar control, I experience signs of aging of the skin, loss of elastin and collagen in my decollate area especially. For that reason, I balanced my blood sugar and internally I take Collagen and Silica. Also I just started using anti-aging products with peptides and stem cells. Next I want to try products with Epidermal Growth Factor. I'd love to get a toning device of some sort, but haven't decided on one.
Thanks for asking. I am sorry it doesn't sound clear. I will edit it. I've had Insulin Resistance and PCOS and at one point I was even told that I was pre-diabetic. The blood sugar is unbalanced in all three conditions. Too high, then too low, then too high again and so on. I came across a book called "Cortisol control and the beauty connection" by Shawn Talbott, Ph.D in which he writes about how excessive inflammation leads to accelerated skin damage and breakdown. Glycation ( a cellular damage by sugars) can lead to oxidation which in tern can lead to inflammation. It is a fascinating book. One thing that stuck with me was that apparently the natural collagen turnover can be managed by controlling oxidation, inflammation, glycation, and stress. The author gives advice on protecting collagen and rebuilding collagen and I've implemented that advice in my life. I hope this helps.
I just found your channel and I am obsessed! I'm 25 but I have starting to research into preventative aging skin routines and you have been the most helpful and informative! Plus you are absolutely stunning 😍💕
Angie, I just want to thank you for sharing your research and for advocating healthy choices so we can pursue caring for ourselves as best as we can as we age:). The kind of information that you share is something that is rarely addressed by other YT beauty gurus and I just want to let you know I truly appreciate it:).
Hi Angie! I want to thank you so much. I ordered from Timeless and it was the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. I received my products that came in 2 days. I live in Canada. The products were in a box and then were covered with styrofoam to keep products cool in another box. I did not have to pay Customs because they took care of it! If it wasn't for you, I would have never known. Plus I got 5 dollars off bc of you. So THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I am ecstatic and I will be purchasing more products from them in the very near future ..Thank you Angie! Love from Susan. Ps. I have never tanned in my life. I have taken care of my skin since the age of 10...yes. There were only 3 products in those days, Oil of Olay, Noxema, and Ponds and when I was old enough to know I wore sunscreen even in my home. A little story for you! My mother was dying in 2016 & I was driving home from the ICU. I was driving slowly bc I was crying...A police officer pulled me over bc he thought I was drinking. I don't drink btw. I gave him my ID and he thought it was fake (I will be 60 next month) He called me a kid..He yelled at me your just a kid. So he booked me and my dog into the police station for 5 hours.Finally he told me that I could leave but wanted 5 more pcs. of documentation & gave me 10 days to get it in.As tired as I was, when I left I said "Officer, even though this has been a very sad day for me, you made my day by thinking I was in my late 20,s. They all shook their heads and smiled bc they just couldn't believe it and said goodbye! So you see, it really is important to take care of your face, neck and décolletage! I truly believe in Vitamin A acid cream. I had numerous skin products at my disposal bc I was a Clinical Science Specialist calling on derms. When Vitamin A was launched, a dermatologist gave me 50 tubes of it. So even now I have boxes full of skin care products..But I have my favourites. And everyone responds to different emollients/products! So thank you for your channel! I don't buy a product unless you have covered it! You are my number one resource! With all of your experience & experiments, you should write a book! It would be a best seller. Thank you so very much once again! Susan 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 💖💖💖 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for sharing your story Susan! LOL!! Wow, your life has been the perfect storm of anti-aging skincare do's... I wish I had more do's and fewer don'ts in my past! xo ~angie
Wow, what a story. My mother was in ICU dying in 2016, as well. 2016 was a terrible year. I am sorry that the police officer wasn't nice at first, but I really would have liked to have gotten that compliment of him/her thinking that I was just a kid. I am a devoted person to Hot and Flashy now. I am using the products and I got $5.00 off, as well. I am thinking that a lot of high stress contributed to my aging in just a few years. I need to learn to cope with that. I also need to get back on the salmon kick.
You are so knowledgeable. If it wasn't for you, I would have never known about differin gel, cereve, and so many other great products. Thank you for explaining why we need to use sunscreen with retinoids. Keep up the fantastic work.
Nice clear presentation, a good refresher, for me who has been following your videos for a couple of years and following your routines and suggestions.
Angie, you look absolutely stunning in this video....the makeup is so natural, young and fresh......tutorial, please, on this look. Also what nail polish are you wearing in this video......I need it in my life!
Hi Angie. I think that when a person gets in the teens they absolutely should start with skincare - morning and night, to prevent larger pores etc. Then get into anti-age steps at everyone individuals needs when you reach 20. Then the steps gets more and more after age. I myself started for two years ago at the age of 45 and that feels for me almost to late.. I have never ever used any creams, lotions - anything. Only sun protection, tho I have not been out in the sun so much either, so I have very, very little sun damage. I am at home indoors 99% of the day. I go out once a day and that is at midnight so I do not use sun protection ( I have many psychological disorders) Tho I think that because I have used a soap with lactic acid since I was little, have prevent my skin a bit from harm. But now I have so much to take care of and I am so happy that I started to watch YT 2015. But I have always have a big interest in Vitamins, Minerals and herbs. So I started at age 18 with supplements, and then also more in depth in herbs. I have never been into eating so much meat. I have been a vegetarian since I was 18 and a vegan since 5 years back.
Hi Angie! New fan here, 38 y/o, w/combination skin. I LOVE the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen, thanks for the recommendation. I was pleasantly surprised to find it in my local drugstore. I also like that you treat your hands with strong, water resistant SPF in the morning... great idea. Thanks for all the info!
I purchased the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen based on your recommendation and I absolutely LOVE it!! I was previously using the cerave am and like that as well, but I really enjoy the Australian Gold because it keeps me even more matte, dries fast and the light tint evens out my complexion. Thanks for the recommendation!!!
You always have so much actual information and that make you stand out from the other You Tubers. Thank you so much! My newest product I'm using per your recommendations is the Australian gold sunscreen. Love the tint and it truly feels like nothin on the skin.
Thanks for this video Angie! I've been using tretinoin (0.025%) for about three years now (I'm 19) and I love it. It helps my acne and has really smoothed my skin. I don't use it every night, I like to switch between tretinoin and organic cold pressed rosehip seed oil (imagine nature's tretinoin but without the drying effects). I love watching your videos, my skin has improved so much since watching you! Hope you have a healthy and safe summer!
Thanks for all the advice and great info on your channel. I really enjoyed the video. I'm in my late thirties and wanting to start getting more serious about anti-aging skincare. I did want to point out that for women in our 20-30s we may also be dealing with pregnancies and nursing. A number of the anti-aging treatments are not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers (retinA and vit c creams). Talk with your OBGYN and dermatologist before starting any skincare treatments. Thanks again, Angie!
I recently discovered your channel and I’m hooked. I just recently started looking into developing an anti aging routine as I’m approaching 40 and starting to see wrinkles pop up almost overnight. I was really curious and intrigued about retinol so I bought the one by Drunk Elephant that just came out. The first night I used it, I didn’t have any adverse reaction so I was encouraged. Unfortunately, I did the second application way too early- just two days later and now my skin is is on fire and looks 10 years older with my undereye area very wrinkly and puffy. I know there’s a lot of tips about retinol our there but I would love to see a video from you with tips on how to start on retinol if someone never used it and how to progress to stronger topicals such as retin A.
Thank you for this video Angie! I'm 23 years old in a week and a lot may say I'm young but I began smoking at 16 up until 20. I thank God I've quit but I do notice my smile lines deeper. Can't wait to change around my skincare thanks again :0)
I have been watching your videos now for at least two years, and I still found this one very informative, to the point that I realise I am still not wearing sunscreen often enough! Thanks for such great content x
I used a lot of sunscreen on my face starting when I was in college. I wish that I would have started using it even earlier. I wish that they had better sunscreens when I was younger. I can't imagine going out of the house these days without sunscreen. I use a new one that I like from Neutrogena.
I'm so happy you did this! I'm 40 and keep buying products because I don't know how or what to use. Thanks so much for this!! I have been using the Cerave for awhile so I started off ok lol
I'll be 40 in July. I started skin care early but as a child and in my 20's I barely used sunscreen and I'm fair with light eyes. Ended up with Melanoma because of it. I am ridiculous now with my kids. People makes comments to me all the time about the large amounts of sunscreen on them. lol I don't care though. I want them to have amazing skin when they're my age and they're high risk because of my history. Also, I purchased the AG sunscreen because of you and I love it more than any other sunscreen I've ever tried on my face. And I have dry skin!
bnb0510: let ppl say whatever they want, you are doing the right thing. If you are fair most probably at least one kid is fair skin, let alone history with Melanoma! As per few dermatologist, the biggest damage to our skin is done until the age of 20 approximately. We want kids to be active so they are exposed to sun lots. Slap it on them and off they go:)))Hope Melanoma is in the (scary) past for you:))
I'm sorry to hear about your Melanoma, but I'm happy you're taking your kids sun protection seriously! I think if we consistently apply it to our children as they grow up, it'll become 2nd nature, just like buckling their seat belts! Safety 1st!!
Thanks so much to the both of you! I wish My mom knew back then as well as my 20 year old self what I know now. Really appreciate all the effort that goes in to researching and making these types of videos Angie. Keep up the good work!
I started a proper anti-aging skincare routine at the age of 31, after realising there was horrific hollowness under my eyes one day. I include sunscreen, AHA, BHA, kojic acid, glutathione, retinoid, toner, essence, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, peptides, facial oil, face cream, botox and filler, and sometimes laser in my skincare routine. I would say if you have the money, best start your anti-aging routine in your 20s, but for those with financial constrain, start after the age of 30 is still good. Also don't forget your diet. You should start in your 20s. What you put in your body plays a major role in slowing down the aging process of your organs and maintaining its function. I suggest multivitamin and mineral supplement, pre and probiotic, omega oil, and glucosamine supplement. And my favourite is drinking a shot of noni juice every day :)
Ok...I am hoping maybe you clear this up for me, Angie. I agree that sunscreen is definitely one of the most important things you can use; however, since it needs to be reapplied every few hours, how do you put more on once your makeup is applied? I figure if anyone can answer this it would be you as you are very pro-sunscreen. I think it is wonderful that you are putting this info out there for the up and coming generations so they don't make the mistakes those of us who grew up when sun-worshipping and dark natural tans were glamorized.
Very interesting! I just purchased some of The Ordinary products and also use several from DermaE. I'm 57 but have very oily skin, though I'm getting lines around my eyes and the "11" between my eyebrows. Still figuring out the best routine!!
I'm almost 32, but I only started doing an anti-aging 'program' within the last 4 months. The past two years, I spent too much time in the sun without any sunscreen, and my face has significantly aged by looking at photos. Not only is my skin worse, more wrinkled, freckled/damaged, I have more fine lines and crepey under eyes. I started using sunscreen from a dermatologist, but I feel like it's too late to reverse the damage done. I also have always had nice cheekbones, but now they sort of sag, which you can definitely see in photos with no flash. I don't understand how I aged so quickly when I stayed out of the sun most of my life other than the past couple of years, but it's very depressing! I feel like I'm ready for a facelift right now. I started using botox several months ago to help with the fine lines on my forehead, and it made them go away, but I still feel like my face is just getting worse, especially the under eyes. How young is too young for facelifts and undereye surgery?
In my opinion you're too young to be considering surgery for aging issues. At 32 your skin is still young & fresh but is just starting to show a few signs of aging. I know it's not easy to see the signs of aging appear. You can't stop the clock but you can take care of your skin to help it look it's best for as long as possible. I'd recommend sticking with the sunscreen every day and starting a good skincare routine and try to appreciate the skin you have now because I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is. xo ~angie
Thank you! Definitely enjoyed the video. I am 25 and tried Botox just a year ago, I am not impressed, so now looking for some creams with peptides to smoother my forehead wrinkles.
I just got my Australian gold sunscreen and I actually just wore it instead of foundation to work Friday. I loved it and plan on using it for those no makeup days. thanks for the recommendation.
This video reminds me to apply my Retin-A tonight. I do once every few days or once a week and keep forgetting. On that note, I think Retin-A Micro is great for those younger because it is a gel and not as irritating as the regular Retin-A.
Do you have a date night or a day that you do something special? I started buy always using it when I take my makeup off on date night. That helped me to remember.
Great video Angie! My thoughts are how do you know when to mix all these together? Or don't mix them together on your face. I'm so new to all of this stuff. I've had "wrinkles" seems forever, I've always made goofy faces, sun for sure, when I was young. Same thing with makeup, it's so foreign to me. I'm homebound due to illness and got into makeup on here and I'm lost about that too. I'm taking my time with that, I never had to use makeup before. Now there's so many things you have to do today. With the face, I'm so lost. Your videos do help. Thank you so much. Again, with these items how do I know if I need to put more then 1 item on my face at the same time, what to use at night time? So much to think about that I never had to think about before.
Great informative video as usual. You are a lifesaver, really appreciate your sharing your research on the best products. Also, I know you say you are not a professional make up artist but you do a terrific job on sot natural make up looks especially good for us more mature ladies. Your look in this video is perfect - would love to see how you applied make up for this look even if you think its redundant, it is always welcome. Have a good one!
I literally look up to you Angie you have NO idea! Found you months ago and now my staples have come from your recommendations!( timeless products, sunscreen, etc,) I am 31 and started anti aging skincare routine at 29 & I already started getting Botox in my forehead for prevention ( I get a lot of shit at work for it) but it's my face & I feel like I'm doing what's best for me...Anyways I love you and I am now using Retin - A but only once a week every other week and I'm starting slowwwwllyy just like you said. Xoxo
Very good info Angie I was wondering what you think about argerline I recently got a serum of argerline with matrixyl 3000 because of my squinting habits I haven't used it long enough to say how it's worked for me, but sounds promising, but I always love your suggestions, thank you for sharing. Have a good one! By the way what supplements do you take that work for you? I would love to hear what supplements you take, thanks in advance!
Angie, a report came out about sunscreens (as they do every year) that really do and don't work. Although I don't remember which brands were where on the spectrum, I do remember Neutrogena didn't score so well but Aveeno did. I'll have to revisit it. I've also read that a company can put any number by the SPF and get away with it. Just thought I'd share this with you - maybe it's something you can learn more about and share with us. Get the chemist dad involved. He won't lead us astray.
Hey Julie ! I am wondering which country you are referring to. I know that the US, EU and Japan(which makes my favorite sunscreens) all have different regulations as to which filters are approved and what can and cannot be advertised, but I cannot see this happening in the EU. There are very strict laws and regulations and I am sure that no company would risk it. Plus, everything has to be tested before being released to the market.
It was an article that Consumer Reports released. It was concerning to me. Other sunscreens that missed the mark were mineral sunscreens and spray sunscreens.
Angie - I went out and purchased the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 after you recommended it - LOVE IT!!! It really works very well under makeup - thank so much! I would've never even thought to have tried it. :)
I am a 6th grade teacher. The other day one of students came to school after a few days at the beach. Her face was showing the signs of a severe sunburn: red and peeling. I told her I was going to give her the best advice she would ever get from me and that she would thank me years later: Use sunscreen daily and never allow yourself to burn again. Of course, I got that "look" that only middle schoolers can give, but I tried. Thanks for a great video covering many bases. Hope they listen!:)
Carol A Carol, I know that look that middle schoolers give. I'm with 7th and 8th graders. I love how whatever they think comes flying out of their mouth...well, most of the time.
Meanwhile here I am, an 8th graders teacher, getting advices from my students about skin care 🤭
Kids will be kids. 😂
Ladies, please listen to Angie. She speaks truth. Don't wait like I did till you''re 62 as so much damage occurs by then.
thank you Angie.
I'm 17 and I just wanna say thank you so much for this! I cant wait to slay like you when I'm in my 50's😇 let's stay classy and age defying together💞
You know what the trick is Vita? STAY OUT OF THE SUN!!! It's an evil orb of death that will cause nasty hyper-pigmentation and possible pre cancers/ skin cancers. I'm 52 years old and live in Florida. 40 years ago when all my friends were baking themselves in the sun using baby oil (Yes BABY OIL, no SPF for them, it slows the tan down) I was in the shade with sunscreen. Wow, what a difference in my skin now as opposed to some of the girls I've seen since. I look easily 10 years younger then they do. You guys have great self tanners available for that sunkissed look that we never had. Use those instead. 52 may seem far away to a 17 year old, but I promise you taking care of your skin now will make a huge difference in 40 years. Now go out there and have fun, and stay out of the sun! (or at least use SPF 50. LOL)
Vita Leandra Thats what i did always the shade and spf. for the last 15 years sun hats I love them
Sun exposure is healthy. I think it's very extreme and irresponsible to tell a 17 year old to stay out of the sun. Everything in moderation.
Vita Leandra just use lots of spf and wear a sun hat when possible. laying out in the sun is not good for every one.
Thanks everyone for your words of advice! In fairness I'm more than likely to have fun in the sun this summer, but I usually wear a baseball cap to shield my face and wear plenty of spf for my pale Irish skin! You are right though, staying out of the sun when possible is possibly best, and normally for me it's far too warm in full sun so I prefer to sit in dappled shade with a book☺️
one of my biggest regrets is not paying attention to my neck and chest. my face isn't perfect but in much better shape than the rest.
And the back of hands!
Im a 23 year old male, I've been watching your videos for a few years now! I use sunscreen religiously, use a vitamin c serum daily, and I've just started on Retin A. So hopefully I'll stay looking like this for a while haha *fingers crossed* Don't know if its too young, but hey cant hurt right?
jackkmiller1 I think you may be a bit young to start on the retain a. Not totally sure but I think prolonged use can cause problems for some people, so I would wait until there are some signs of aging before starting on it. At least till your 30s
jackkmiller1 which vitamin c serum do you use?
+TheNicoliyah Since I already got the prescription from my doctor I think I'll just see how I go. But I do agree with you, I should probably wait a little while!
+Kristy Miller At the moment Paula's Choice!
jackkmiller1 this is a year old, but if you haven’t already try the powder from the ordinary and you can add and cocktail it with creams and serums. It’s a vitamin C serum. I’m 27 and I’m till not going to use a Retin A, to strong and I don’t think I need it yet. I use a lot of lower grad forms of retinol for now and will strengthen as I get older.
I so regret laying out in the sun with the baby oil and iodine and reflectors to get more sun. My arms and legs are paying for it now. This was such a great video, Angie! Have a wonderful week. Love, Melissa
Melissa, you are the best evidence that Retin-A is a good idea :)
I"ve used Retin A for years but often had to stop using it due to peeling and flaking skin. The tip I learned from you (and never heard from several different dermatologists) was to avoid using it on corners of my mouth, nose and eyes This has allowed me to gradually go up to the strongest strength of Retin-A, either using it every night or every other night, without any side effects Thank you, that tip made a world of difference.
Glad I started in my 30s. I think if you're old enough to wear makeup then you need to start taking care of your skin...use a sunscreen and a good moisturizer. Thanks Angie!
In seriously hope me being a good skincare addict since my teens has helped me. The only thing I never paid attention to until recently (27), is sunscreen. I know right? I don’t know I just didn’t but i use acids and low grade retinoids, toners, drums, oils. Foaming cleansers aren’t good for anyone at any age. I use vitamin C, Niacinamide, matrixl. I’m not kidding I’m obsessed with my skin and skincare. I don’t use silicone, fragrances, mineral oil.
I wish I started sunscreen at a much younger age. This will be so helpful for the younger viewers. You're awesome, Angie! Much love ~Holly
I started using it religiously at 21 & i still feel like i was too late.
Yes, I felt like that, as well. Wish I would have started earlier.
muzicgirl1 it's never too late. Just keep it up! 😀
Amara Sunflower Oh I take good care of my skin now, have for many years.:) I just wish I started sunscreen much earlier. I grew up during a time, like Angie, when it wasn't used much. It was all about baking in the sun.
Yes, and when I was younger, I was very friendly with a girl who was 1/2 Spanish. People used to compare us all of the time and ask "Are you going to get as dark as your friend?" Hey - it was always like I wasn't as good because I had lighter skin. I am glad that I used sunscreen.
I recently turned 29 but I really enjoy watching your videos! By the way you don't look more than 40 years old... Well done!
I used to watch The Golden Girls with my mom. I remember someone came to Sophia Petrillo (Dorothy's mom) and said, "I need your advice..." and before she could get another word out, Sophia said "Moisturize moisturize moisturize!" lol
I just started worrying about my skins and so GLAD to have found you on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing your advice with the world. I will be starting slowly with your anti-aging routine, wish me luck!
This is the best anti aging video I've ever seen and I really have watched a lot, I mean literally hundreds! Succinct , extremely informative and easy to understand and not biased towards any particular brand, with options for all budgets. So, thank you very much and greetings from London x
Angie, this is the best skincare video you've produced yet. I'm a huge fan. please keep it up :)
Great video! I am forwarding to my daughter for sure. The only thing I would add is sunglasses! And stress the chest damage that occurs, I have so many friends with really awful alligator skin on their décolleté. And maybe little something about nutrition and hydration. Though that could be a whole separate video. I am a huge fan and fellow skin care junkie...I've been using sunscreen forever and retain a for 15 years since I turned 40 and it's really paid off. Now with your advice, I've been adding the timeless serums and what a huge difference that makes as well. Thanks for all the work and research you do and for keeping it reasonably affordable!
i'm 13 and i'm DEFINITELY going to start wearing more sunscreen now! my skin is already very tanned and i have a lot of acne scars and now im regretting not taking better care of my skin 3 years ago. it's not too late for me, so i'm definitely starting now so i can look just as beautiful as you once i'm in my 50's! cheers!!
I finally got my tretinoin cream, starting at .05%. My family doctor had no issue giving me an RX while I was there for something else, and I've heard you can walk into those drugstore clinics and ask for a prescription. I'll probably use this strength for the next year, and then bump up to .1%. Tip: Try the GoodRX app for the prescription - I got a 20gm tube for $36 at Walmart (reg $104)! Wonderful video, Angie! You've been a huge help with all the info and products you've shared!
Thank you so much for this video. I am 33 and have been wearing sunscreen religiously for 12 years. You have gotten me totally hooked on Cerave products and I love them.
lol anyone else a teenager watching this...
Thanks Angie, you were the person who pointed me in the right direction of what to use on skin and you don't just tell us what to do and than we search for it or quick write down what you just said. My point is I'm grateful for all the links to the products you recommend, you are the most thorough person on you tube that I have found. Can't thank you enough for all the research you do on products you use and the proof is you and your beautiful skin. Can't do any better than that, you look amazing and in your early 40's. Just wanted you to know how much you've helped me and I know many others. Hugs to you
Im 18 and using sunscreen every single say and mild retinol products as well at vitamin c and salicylic acid! Never too early to start taking care of your skin in my opinion! Thanks for the great video Angie it is so so helpful and so informative
I love and appreciate this video so much. I am 32 and I just started thinking about anti-aging and really taking care of my skin. I have always moisturized because of my ethnicity, can't avoid it, but I never knew where to start when it cam to preventing the signs of aging. I was also taught that because of my dark skin tone that I didn't need sunscreen or simply it doesn't take all that but I am seeing now that those comments are simply not true. Because of you I am wearing sunscreen daily. I just started a very simple day and night routine, as well. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
35 years old right here! So happy I found this video. Game changer!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
great video. Sunscreen is very important. My grand daughter is 11. when she's with me Sunscreen all the time. been doing that since she was very little. I tell her she will thank me later lol . I have noticed she uses it more
My kids walk outside and wait for the spray. LOL
Beth Gramkow Ha ha that made me smile. My mum did absolutely no skincare, she looks good still (lucky genes) but I am a skincare obsessive and its rubbed off on my daughter who is 22 and has a really simple but good skincare routine. I am not unhappy and think she will be grateful when she gets to my age
Mascara to Midnight h
Sugar Kane, hi
Oh my Gawd!! the lipstick color is to dye for. Love it !!
Good video Angie, but don't forget exercise - very important for general health as well as skin health. You do need a sunscreen that lasts through an outdoor exercise though. My favorite "running" sunscreen is from Juice Beauty their sport SPF 30 sunscreen. I also sometimes add one of the powder sunscreens - Chantecaille has a good one that is also a bronzer, and also Colorescience has some good mineral powder sunscreens for touchups.
I'm 47 and have really been into skin care and anti aging the last year or year and a half. Been living the Ordinary products and taking better care of my skin with cleaning and moisturizing.
Thanks to you I have really stepped up my skin care and use of SPF all the time. I am the oldest of 4 sisters and often get asked if I am the youngest. Of course I am the only one who doesn't tan or smoke. Appreciate all you do. By the way, your makeup looks gorgeous
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love watching makeup and beuty channels, but I can't do the kind of makeup a lot of the younger gurus do, it would just look silly on me. I'm 40 years now and if I look half as fresh as you when I'm 50 I would be very thankful. Thank you for making great videos.
Great video, Angie. I'm glad to hear you not pushing Retin A on 20-30 year olds for anti-aging. It is so harsh and requires real dedication. A retinoid or Retinol product will work just as well - maybe throwing in a lactic acid peel every so often. I know at our age once you are on Retin A, you will probably never stop using it unless you start to have issues like Brianna Stanko talked about and had to stop using it and I'm guessing she is in her early 40's (forgive me if I am way off). So god-willing we are looking at 20+ years of using it. Can't imagine starting in my 30's and using it daily for 40-50 years! 😄
Hey Angie! I just wanna say thank you! I'm 39 (just last March) and started using a few things you had mentioned in some of your older videos that I ran across!! I am so, so sensitive to smells and have such a hard time finding skin care!! I am getting ready to start on the vitamin c you recommend (waiting for extra dropper bottles to come in the mail) and I have just introduced the retinol from over the counter!! But, I have noticed a huge difference just in the cleansers and lotions you recommend!!! I do have an salicylic acid lotion that I use and cera ve cleanser I also trade out in the morning for the moisturizing cleanser you recommend. Due to acne I have some scarring, dark spots and rough patches. Makeup application is smoother!! Since my skin is happier, it breaks out less and my pores love the witch hazel!! lol I am rambling, but cannot thank you enough!!! 💕💕
Great to hear!! xo
I started good skincare in my late 20s plus I'm African-American which really helps slow down the aging process. I'm 40 now, I have sensitive skin / eczema. I love Garnier Moisture Bomb SPF 30 and ROC deep wrinkle cream with AHA and Retinol this is an awesome product.
I started a few weeks ago before turning 37, wish I did earlier but glad I found you!
You are aging in reverse, Angie! Each video you look younger! I have wanting a video like this from you. I'm in my late twenties but I have just had my third child and starting to think a lot about anti-aging. Thank you!
"I didn't start anti-aging till I turned fifty-" WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE OLDER THAN FIFTY??? Liar.
A great serum I found for mornings (I'm 34) is by Schaf. It's a Canadian brand. It's their "radiance firming serum." It contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, & peptides. All the ingredients I was looking for in my morning routine. It's not cheap, but mid priced. It saves me though because I don't have to buy individual serums for all those ingredients. With Ordinary skincare, you could probably do better price wise, but I personally don't care for the texture of their products (i.e. - you don't use it if you don't enjoy using it right). So Schaf may be a good suggestion for 20/30s subs of your channel. Huge fan! Makeup wise we are the same, so basically I don't buy a foundation unless you reviewed it. Have a great day!
Thank you for this video Angie! I am 34 and never had much of a skin care routine (aside from occasionally putting body lotion on my face at night) until I found your channel. You really inspired me to start doing better and you're recommendations are always spot on! You are very knowledgeable and deliver your information in a very genuine way. Please don't ever stop making videos!! I would be lost lol you are beautiful, all of your hard work shows. Have a good one! 🤗🤗
Another great video, so thank you. I purchased the Cerave Skin Renewing serum as my first retinol product to use on my dry, sensitive skin. But I was disappointed to discover that it contains alcohol, which is right before retinol in the ingredient list.

I'm very lucky. My mother started me on sunscreen when i was like 13. Also I remember using a lot of sunscreen when I was a kid. My mom also loved skincare so I got it from her, she had amazing skin. When I was 15 I got terrible cystic acne and then I really started taking care of my skin more seriously. Chemical peels saved my skin and since then I've been a huge fan of taking care of my skin and using the best (but still affordable) products. And Angie it doesnt look like you started at 50, I swear, your skin looks great! And yes I need more antioxidants, that Im lacking!!
Great video. I will be sharing this video with my daughter who is in her mid thirties. I really appreciate that you share products that are readable available and affordable.
Angie -- you speak the truth. But one other thing. NEVER SMOKE. Or if you are a smoker, STOP! It is not only bad for your heart and lungs, it will make you wrinkled. I probably don't look bad for 70 (except for gravity jowls), mainly because I always stayed out of the sun and never smoked. What do your suggest for gravity effects on face, Angie?
Hi Elaine~ I'm not sure anything topical will help too much with gravity related issues... for those I think you need to consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They have all kinds of options and know how to combine modalities for best results. xo ~angie
Thanks for recommendating the Australian Gold! I love it!! it works well under my makeup, doesnt irritate my eyes, and doesn't have a white cast! It's perfect!
If I could go back to my 13 year old self, I would tell myself to wear sunscreen! Now that I am 65 it might be too late. I have it all.......wrinkles, basil cell carcinoma and the big old melanoma. Young ladies, please use your sunscreen!
Like other subbies 'of a certain age' I have forwarded this to my beautiful daughter Kerys in the hope she will start a skin regime far earlier than her wrinkly mama did! Angie you make it all so easy to understand, thank you!
I can always count on you Angie to tell us how to anti-age and when. Thank you!
Thank you Angie for yet another super informative video. I have a 13y/o daughter who runs cross country, track and rides horses so she is out in sun frequently for long period of time. I have talked with her many times about the importance of wearing /getting into the habit of using sunscreen EVERY SINGLE DAY and to reapply every couple of hours especially when outside. I have tried purchasing many different types of sunscreen in the hopes that if she finds one she really like she will use it regularly. She is using it more than she did a year ago but still not as often as I know she should. I am going to have her watch this video too as I hope hearing someone else stress the importance will have more impact on her.
Hi Lynette~ When my daughters were active in sports I was able to get them to keep a sunscreen sport stick in their sports bag. They liked Neutrogena or Banana Boat stick sunscreens. My older daughter also liked MD SolarSciences Mineral Creme spf 30. I hope you can get her to use it more!
Thank you for your video Angie! Just to share, I am over 30 and due to bad sugar control, I experience signs of aging of the skin, loss of elastin and collagen in my decollate area especially. For that reason, I balanced my blood sugar and internally I take Collagen and Silica. Also I just started using anti-aging products with peptides and stem cells. Next I want to try products with Epidermal Growth Factor. I'd love to get a toning device of some sort, but haven't decided on one.
Transforming oily skin What is meant by "bad sugar control"? As in diabetes or just in general eating too much sugary foods?
Thanks for asking. I am sorry it doesn't sound clear. I will edit it. I've had Insulin Resistance and PCOS and at one point I was even told that I was pre-diabetic. The blood sugar is unbalanced in all three conditions. Too high, then too low, then too high again and so on. I came across a book called "Cortisol control and the beauty connection" by Shawn Talbott, Ph.D in which he writes about how excessive inflammation leads to accelerated skin damage and breakdown. Glycation ( a cellular damage by sugars) can lead to oxidation which in tern can lead to inflammation. It is a fascinating book. One thing that stuck with me was that apparently the natural collagen turnover can be managed by controlling oxidation, inflammation, glycation, and stress. The author gives advice on protecting collagen and rebuilding collagen and I've implemented that advice in my life. I hope this helps.
I just found your channel and I am obsessed! I'm 25 but I have starting to research into preventative aging skin routines and you have been the most helpful and informative! Plus you are absolutely stunning 😍💕
Angie, I just want to thank you for sharing your research and for advocating healthy choices so we can pursue caring for ourselves as best as we can as we age:). The kind of information that you share is something that is rarely addressed by other YT beauty gurus and I just want to let you know I truly appreciate it:).
Hi Angie! I want to thank you so much. I ordered from Timeless and it was the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. I received my products that came in 2 days. I live in Canada. The products were in a box and then were covered with styrofoam to keep products cool in another box. I did not have to pay Customs because they took care of it! If it wasn't for you, I would have never known. Plus I got 5 dollars off bc of you. So THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I am ecstatic and I will be purchasing more products from them in the very near future ..Thank you Angie! Love from Susan. Ps. I have never tanned in my life. I have taken care of my skin since the age of 10...yes. There were only 3 products in those days, Oil of Olay, Noxema, and Ponds and when I was old enough to know I wore sunscreen even in my home. A little story for you! My mother was dying in 2016 & I was driving home from the ICU. I was driving slowly bc I was crying...A police officer pulled me over bc he thought I was drinking. I don't drink btw. I gave him my ID and he thought it was fake (I will be 60 next month) He called me a kid..He yelled at me your just a kid. So he booked me and my dog into the police station for 5 hours.Finally he told me that I could leave but wanted 5 more pcs. of documentation & gave me 10 days to get it in.As tired as I was, when I left I said "Officer, even though this has been a very sad day for me, you made my day by thinking I was in my late 20,s. They all shook their heads and smiled bc they just couldn't believe it and said goodbye! So you see, it really is important to take care of your face, neck and décolletage! I truly believe in Vitamin A acid cream. I had numerous skin products at my disposal bc I was a Clinical Science Specialist calling on derms. When Vitamin A was launched, a dermatologist gave me 50 tubes of it. So even now I have boxes full of skin care products..But I have my favourites. And everyone responds to different emollients/products! So thank you for your channel! I don't buy a product unless you have covered it! You are my number one resource! With all of your experience & experiments, you should write a book! It would be a best seller. Thank you so very much once again! Susan 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 💖💖💖 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for sharing your story Susan! LOL!! Wow, your life has been the perfect storm of anti-aging skincare do's... I wish I had more do's and fewer don'ts in my past! xo ~angie
Animals Are Our Angels You just made my entire day! Thank you for sharing your story, Susan. You make me smile.
Wow, what a story. My mother was in ICU dying in 2016, as well. 2016 was a terrible year. I am sorry that the police officer wasn't nice at first, but I really would have liked to have gotten that compliment of him/her thinking that I was just a kid. I am a devoted person to Hot and Flashy now. I am using the products and I got $5.00 off, as well. I am thinking that a lot of high stress contributed to my aging in just a few years. I need to learn to cope with that. I also need to get back on the salmon kick.
Animals Are Our Angels my mom died this week :(
Eileen thank you for your kind comment.
You are so knowledgeable. If it wasn't for you, I would have never known about differin gel, cereve, and so many other great products. Thank you for explaining why we need to use sunscreen with retinoids. Keep up the fantastic work.
Nice clear presentation, a good refresher, for me who has been following your videos for a couple of years and following your routines and suggestions.
Angie, you look absolutely stunning in this video....the makeup is so natural, young and fresh......tutorial, please, on this look. Also what nail polish are you wearing in this video......I need it in my life!
Not sure how I overlooked this video-great introduction to an anti aging skincare routine
Hi Angie. I think that when a person gets in the teens they absolutely should start with skincare - morning and night, to prevent larger pores etc. Then get into anti-age steps at everyone individuals needs when you reach 20. Then the steps gets more and more after age. I myself started for two years ago at the age of 45 and that feels for me almost to late.. I have never ever used any creams, lotions - anything. Only sun protection, tho I have not been out in the sun so much either, so I have very, very little sun damage. I am at home indoors 99% of the day. I go out once a day and that is at midnight so I do not use sun protection ( I have many psychological disorders) Tho I think that because I have used a soap with lactic acid since I was little, have prevent my skin a bit from harm. But now I have so much to take care of and I am so happy that I started to watch YT 2015. But I have always have a big interest in Vitamins, Minerals and herbs. So I started at age 18 with supplements, and then also more in depth in herbs. I have never been into eating so much meat. I have been a vegetarian since I was 18 and a vegan since 5 years back.
Hi Angie! New fan here, 38 y/o, w/combination skin. I LOVE the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen, thanks for the recommendation. I was pleasantly surprised to find it in my local drugstore. I also like that you treat your hands with strong, water resistant SPF in the morning... great idea. Thanks for all the info!
I purchased the Australian Gold tinted sunscreen based on your recommendation and I absolutely LOVE it!! I was previously using the cerave am and like that as well, but I really enjoy the Australian Gold because it keeps me even more matte, dries fast and the light tint evens out my complexion. Thanks for the recommendation!!!
You always have so much actual information and that make you stand out from the other You Tubers. Thank you so much! My newest product I'm using per your recommendations is the Australian gold sunscreen. Love the tint and it truly feels like nothin on the skin.
I started much later than you did and wish I had started in my 30's!
Thanks for this video Angie! I've been using tretinoin (0.025%) for about three years now (I'm 19) and I love it. It helps my acne and has really smoothed my skin. I don't use it every night, I like to switch between tretinoin and organic cold pressed rosehip seed oil (imagine nature's tretinoin but without the drying effects). I love watching your videos, my skin has improved so much since watching you! Hope you have a healthy and safe summer!
Thanks for all the advice and great info on your channel. I really enjoyed the video. I'm in my late thirties and wanting to start getting more serious about anti-aging skincare. I did want to point out that for women in our 20-30s we may also be dealing with pregnancies and nursing. A number of the anti-aging treatments are not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers (retinA and vit c creams). Talk with your OBGYN and dermatologist before starting any skincare treatments. Thanks again, Angie!
Although I don't agree on some of the specific product recommendations, I did share this video with my daughters. Thumbs up Angie!
Absolutely a great video for younger audience. You are so inspirational and bright.
Great video Angie. I shared this with my daughter who is 21 as a preventative for her face. Thanks
I recently discovered your channel and I’m hooked. I just recently started looking into developing an anti aging routine as I’m approaching 40 and starting to see wrinkles pop up almost overnight. I was really curious and intrigued about retinol so I bought the one by Drunk Elephant that just came out. The first night I used it, I didn’t have any adverse reaction so I was encouraged. Unfortunately, I did the second application way too early- just two days later and now my skin is is on fire and looks 10 years older with my undereye area very wrinkly and puffy. I know there’s a lot of tips about retinol our there but I would love to see a video from you with tips on how to start on retinol if someone never used it and how to progress to stronger topicals such as retin A.
Best and most useful skincare videos on youtube! They are very helpful. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video Angie! I'm 23 years old in a week and a lot may say I'm young but I began smoking at 16 up until 20. I thank God I've quit but I do notice my smile lines deeper. Can't wait to change around my skincare thanks again :0)
I have been watching your videos now for at least two years, and I still found this one very informative, to the point that I realise I am still not wearing sunscreen often enough! Thanks for such great content x
I used a lot of sunscreen on my face starting when I was in college. I wish that I would have started using it even earlier. I wish that they had better sunscreens when I was younger. I can't imagine going out of the house these days without sunscreen. I use a new one that I like from Neutrogena.
I'm so happy you did this! I'm 40 and keep buying products because I don't know how or what to use. Thanks so much for this!! I have been using the Cerave for awhile so I started off ok lol
Fantastic. Gonna retweet this for my younger followers. AND going to post to my beauty group. Thank you.
I'll be 40 in July. I started skin care early but as a child and in my 20's I barely used sunscreen and I'm fair with light eyes. Ended up with Melanoma because of it. I am ridiculous now with my kids. People makes comments to me all the time about the large amounts of sunscreen on them. lol I don't care though. I want them to have amazing skin when they're my age and they're high risk because of my history.
Also, I purchased the AG sunscreen because of you and I love it more than any other sunscreen I've ever tried on my face. And I have dry skin!
bnb0510: let ppl say whatever they want, you are doing the right thing. If you are fair most probably at least one kid is fair skin, let alone history with Melanoma! As per few dermatologist, the biggest damage to our skin is done until the age of 20 approximately. We want kids to be active so they are exposed to sun lots. Slap it on them and off they go:)))Hope Melanoma is in the (scary) past for you:))
I'm sorry to hear about your Melanoma, but I'm happy you're taking your kids sun protection seriously! I think if we consistently apply it to our children as they grow up, it'll become 2nd nature, just like buckling their seat belts! Safety 1st!!
Thanks so much to the both of you! I wish My mom knew back then as well as my 20 year old self what I know now.
Really appreciate all the effort that goes in to researching and making these types of videos Angie. Keep up the good work!
I started a proper anti-aging skincare routine at the age of 31, after realising there was horrific hollowness under my eyes one day. I include sunscreen, AHA, BHA, kojic acid, glutathione, retinoid, toner, essence, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, peptides, facial oil, face cream, botox and filler, and sometimes laser in my skincare routine. I would say if you have the money, best start your anti-aging routine in your 20s, but for those with financial constrain, start after the age of 30 is still good. Also don't forget your diet. You should start in your 20s. What you put in your body plays a major role in slowing down the aging process of your organs and maintaining its function. I suggest multivitamin and mineral supplement, pre and probiotic, omega oil, and glucosamine supplement. And my favourite is drinking a shot of noni juice every day :)
Thank you, Angie! this is so informative! I am 37 and am just starting my anti-aging skincare, you have been such a trusted source. Love you!
Ok...I am hoping maybe you clear this up for me, Angie. I agree that sunscreen is definitely one of the most important things you can use; however, since it needs to be reapplied every few hours, how do you put more on once your makeup is applied? I figure if anyone can answer this it would be you as you are very pro-sunscreen. I think it is wonderful that you are putting this info out there for the up and coming generations so they don't make the mistakes those of us who grew up when sun-worshipping and dark natural tans were glamorized.
Here's my video on how to reapply sunscreen over makeup: ua-cam.com/video/exbor_0c8_I/v-deo.html
Thank you so much!
Very interesting! I just purchased some of The Ordinary products and also use several from DermaE. I'm 57 but have very oily skin, though I'm getting lines around my eyes and the "11" between my eyebrows. Still figuring out the best routine!!
I am 42. I am feeling kind of late to the game too. Thanks for sharing your insight with us.
I just saw the "Woman's Day" article! Congratulations!
Iove u Angie I've been watching you for almost 2 years and your video's make me so happy you're a true inspiration to me thx love
I'm almost 32, but I only started doing an anti-aging 'program' within the last 4 months. The past two years, I spent too much time in the sun without any sunscreen, and my face has significantly aged by looking at photos. Not only is my skin worse, more wrinkled, freckled/damaged, I have more fine lines and crepey under eyes. I started using sunscreen from a dermatologist, but I feel like it's too late to reverse the damage done. I also have always had nice cheekbones, but now they sort of sag, which you can definitely see in photos with no flash. I don't understand how I aged so quickly when I stayed out of the sun most of my life other than the past couple of years, but it's very depressing! I feel like I'm ready for a facelift right now. I started using botox several months ago to help with the fine lines on my forehead, and it made them go away, but I still feel like my face is just getting worse, especially the under eyes. How young is too young for facelifts and undereye surgery?
In my opinion you're too young to be considering surgery for aging issues. At 32 your skin is still young & fresh but is just starting to show a few signs of aging. I know it's not easy to see the signs of aging appear. You can't stop the clock but you can take care of your skin to help it look it's best for as long as possible. I'd recommend sticking with the sunscreen every day and starting a good skincare routine and try to appreciate the skin you have now because I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is. xo ~angie
Updated morning and evening skin care routine please!
Excellent - your presentation is clear, concise, understandable and very valuable. Thank you for all the work you do on your videos.
Thank you Angie for another informative video! I really need to step up my sun screen game. I am very lax at wearing it on my face.
Thank you! Definitely enjoyed the video. I am 25 and tried Botox just a year ago, I am not impressed, so now looking for some creams with peptides to smoother my forehead wrinkles.
Your awesome!! I'm 33 and I've just started taking care of my skin more! Thank you!!!!
I just got my Australian gold sunscreen and I actually just wore it instead of foundation to work Friday. I loved it and plan on using it for those no makeup days. thanks for the recommendation.
thanks, Angie! Always love getting an education on anti aging from you!!
Hi!:) Just turned 40! And in desperate need of Anti- aging tips. Sending much love from Japan! Just subscribed.
This video reminds me to apply my Retin-A tonight. I do once every few days or once a week and keep forgetting. On that note, I think Retin-A Micro is great for those younger because it is a gel and not as irritating as the regular Retin-A.
Do you have a date night or a day that you do something special? I started buy always using it when I take my makeup off on date night. That helped me to remember.
Great video Angie! My thoughts are how do you know when to mix all these together? Or don't mix them together on your face. I'm so new to all of this stuff. I've had "wrinkles" seems forever, I've always made goofy faces, sun for sure, when I was young. Same thing with makeup, it's so foreign to me. I'm homebound due to illness and got into makeup on here and I'm lost about that too. I'm taking my time with that, I never had to use makeup before. Now there's so many things you have to do today. With the face, I'm so lost. Your videos do help. Thank you so much. Again, with these items how do I know if I need to put more then 1 item on my face at the same time, what to use at night time? So much to think about that I never had to think about before.
Angie, I love watching you! You are so thorough! What a great video for all ages. Wish this info was out when I was younger 😊
Thanks for putting together such an informative video, Angie. Such great advice!
when you have already watched all Angie's videos and already know which products she will recommend for each category 😂😂
Yeah, everything very expensive
I'm 58 years old and my skin looks pretty good. I am going to place an order with the ordinary. I'm going to start with some of the acids or buffet
Great informative video as usual. You are a lifesaver, really appreciate your sharing your research on the best products. Also, I know you say you are not a professional make up artist but you do a terrific job on sot natural make up looks especially good for us more mature ladies. Your look in this video is perfect - would love to see how you applied make up for this look even if you think its redundant, it is always welcome. Have a good one!
I literally look up to you Angie you have NO idea! Found you months ago and now my staples have come from your recommendations!( timeless products, sunscreen, etc,) I am 31 and started anti aging skincare routine at 29 & I already started getting Botox in my forehead for prevention ( I get a lot of shit at work for it) but it's my face & I feel like I'm doing what's best for me...Anyways I love you and I am now using Retin - A but only once a week every other week and I'm starting slowwwwllyy just like you said. Xoxo
Very good info Angie I was wondering what you think about argerline I recently got a serum of argerline with matrixyl 3000 because of my squinting habits I haven't used it long enough to say how it's worked for me, but sounds promising, but I always love your suggestions, thank you for sharing. Have a good one! By the way what supplements do you take that work for you? I would love to hear what supplements you take, thanks in advance!
Angie, a report came out about sunscreens (as they do every year) that really do and don't work. Although I don't remember which brands were where on the spectrum, I do remember Neutrogena didn't score so well but Aveeno did. I'll have to revisit it. I've also read that a company can put any number by the SPF and get away with it. Just thought I'd share this with you - maybe it's something you can learn more about and share with us. Get the chemist dad involved. He won't lead us astray.
Hey Julie ! I am wondering which country you are referring to. I know that the US, EU and Japan(which makes my favorite sunscreens) all have different regulations as to which filters are approved and what can and cannot be advertised, but I cannot see this happening in the EU. There are very strict laws and regulations and I am sure that no company would risk it. Plus, everything has to be tested before being released to the market.
This was a US report.
CGN I'll find the report and send the link to see if that's any help.
It was an article that Consumer Reports released. It was concerning to me. Other sunscreens that missed the mark were mineral sunscreens and spray sunscreens.
My dermatologist loves Neutrogena. She also said that they are all very well regulated. People just don't apply the correct amount.
What?! You are 50?!? You look amazing!!
Great information Angie. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. 👍👍
Angie - I went out and purchased the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50 after you recommended it - LOVE IT!!! It really works very well under makeup - thank so much! I would've never even thought to have tried it. :)
