I actually hollared WOW out loud in an empty room when I heard about to turn 40. You look at least 5-10 years younger. Sometimes people look younger but you can still kinda sense their age but I was shocked. Beautiful skin and kind spirit. Love your channel and I will be doing whatever your doing to my face! 🤩
I feel like if I only saw a pic of her, without hearing her wiseness that reveals an older age (because medical school takes a long time), I'd legit believe she's in her early 20's
Anyone else not seeing that lol. Maybe its because I'm used to seeing so many beautiful brown skinned women. But she looks like a black 40. There's black 40 and white 40 imo 😂. Black 40 is much younger looking than white 40. But she looks black 40 and gorgeous to me.
Where have you been all my life?? 😂😂 guys like we finally have a black baaaabe in this field i think this is my final bus stop online dermatology search. THIS IS HOOOOME. im super excited❤❤
40 where?? Happy birthday Dr Stephens! Many blessings to you🙏🏽Thank you for this video, it was great & really helpful as always! Yes please to the microneedling tag along 😊
@@FateOfTheElephant Yeah but they still look younger than most pale skinned people as they tend to have firmer skin. But it is likely lifestyle. Most of the very pale people I know who look old tend to be alcoholics and smokers but it's also just that the sun is more damaging for paler people so it is down to genetics and environmental factors. But you are right melanin doesn't keep someone youthful. It's elastin.
@@FateOfTheElephantits prolly the crack and the average age for noticeable aging is different for most races because of skin tone and its sun protection depending on the tone
Sis just casually said "who just turned 40". You look amazing and healthy Dr Stephens! You are an example of your skincare practises. May the Lord God continue to bless you and the works of your hands 🙏
You are 40 but your skin is flawless and you give off a youthful vibe. I would've atleast thought you were mid-late 20s. Thanks so much for this video❤
40?!?!? I shouldn’t be as shocked as I am. I seriously thought that you were a 20yo doctor that wanted to share info on the net 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥 amazing skin.
This was super helpful. I turned 38 last month & I think thus far I've done great with taking care of my skin. I had a NASTY adult acne flare up a few days after turning 30. I had NEVER been one to have acne, just a pimple here & there so it freaked me out. But it caused me to research, learn & implement. I have been using your channel as a resource for years. So thank you for taking the time to continue educating us. Also, you look stunning & not 40 @ all 🤌🏾💕😍📍
Not trying to be harsh, but it's a little odd for you to think a board-certified physician with a healthy practice can be 27. You have to go to undergrad which is four years, medical school which is four years, and residency for another three years.
@@nadzideaz9341 we do know the duration of her training because it's law. To be a physician in the United States, you have to do all the things I named. No different than law school where you need four years of undergrad and two years of law. So if somebody started college at 18, mathematically speaking, there is no way they can be a licensed practicing lawyer at 22.
1:05 I love how you give us so much context on the skin care stuff you've had done so far! Thank you very much for also letting us know your skin type. And yes! Please record when you get your session done please and thank you.
I like the pump and the click from the Avene product. It's those kinds of attention to detail that gets my attention. The ingredients are, of course, play a very strong roll in my wanting to try it out. Thank you for sharing your nighttime routine with us. You look radiant and beautiful.
This was so very helpful. Thxs so much. You mentioned skin cycling, ohh plz, would b fantastic to see how you cycle everything throughout the week. Again, Thank You!!!!
Dr. Alexis! Thank you so much for this exhaustive information! You make us look so good! I can’t wait to try these recommendations! Blessings to you Sis!
Thank you our beautiful doctor for another awesome video. Please bring us along with you on your micro needling appointment and talk more about its benefits and who should do it. God bless! ❤
Can you please show us your nighttime routines on the other nights of your skin cycling? I’d love to see all the products that you use; these all seem amazing!
You look fabulous, been waiting for your routine for years. Please do videos for your non-retinol nights and your morning routine.. would love to see if there’s a good vitamin C, body product out there.
Many thanks for turning me onto nighttime antioxidants and my ceramide cream to my retinol nights a year ago. I am now 47 and I love to teach the young 'uns a thing or two about aging fabulously.
Fun fact I was bored one day and I decided to mix oats with warm water, I applied the mixture to my face and massaged for 1-2 minutes I let it dry for 1 min and after rinsing my skin was glowy and soft 😊
Can you do a video that shows your routine on nights that aren’t retinol nights? Also maybe a week schedule of what we should do differently on each day to our skin? I really want to get my skin together and I get overwhelmed with all of the information. I really appreciate your thorough and informative videos. Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes yes plz yes on the micro needling session. My doctor advice this for ice pick scarring and I’m nervous as a darker brown woman prone to hyperpigmentation
I respect people that could do this. My nighttime routine is remove makeup wash face place virgin coconut oil, 🥥done 😩 . I’m 35 looking 25 I don’t know. I rather don’t use so much chemicals on my skin. But she looks amazing
Happy Birthday, It’s my Birthday today…will hit the big 4 0 next year…..thanks for all your skincare advice, between you & Dr Vanita Rattan…my skin is Devine ❤
Yes , plz show us microneedling session along with other procedures you perform on patients hyperpigmentation. This would truly help us know what to ask for from provider. Also could u share your updated AM routine?
Thanks for sharing Dr. Stephens. After doing the most and getting Perioral dermatitis I am now rewatching your videos regarding a simplified routine. My sensitive skin needs gentle cleansers and fragrance free products. After using it nightly for 3 weeks, I've had to take a break from adapalene. I was also layering products. I am now removing products from my routine with plans to reintroduce adapalene slowly.
Can you PLEASE do a review on Jan Marini skincare on melanated skin? I use it and would love to hear your take on the product line. I use the skincare management system, age intervention retinol, multi-acid exfoliating pads and skin brightening mask. But again, would love to hear your thoughts!! Thanks
I thought you were barely 30, only because of the time it takes to become a doctor and then establish your practice. Smh you look amazing 🤩 Happy Belated Birthday and thanks for all the info!
Thank you so much for this!!!! Please do bring us along for micro-needling. I had a poor experience with xeomin and am interested in alternatives to fine lines and volume that don't involve injectables.
Hello Dr Stephens my favorite doctor! I pray all is well with you and your family! Great video and thank you. I can always pick good things up from you to help my skin out 💗
Hi Dr Alexis! You suggest doing your skincare routine not too close to bedtime so your facial products don’t sink into your pillow. In a similar way, when you use body products, like AHA’s and tretinoin on your body, should you wait before getting clothed, dressed and hopping into bed. I’m afraid that getting dressed too soon after I apply my products will result in them absorbing into my clothes instead of my skin.
Dear Dr. 1. Can you make a complete in depth am/pm rosacea routine for a male. (Caucasian skin, full beard) 2. Can you make a complete in depth am/pm akne scars rutine for a female. (Caucasian skin) Using products from The Ordinary. Thanks.
I just started watching your videos wow your skin looks so young and beautiful. Thank you Dr. for all the skin advice it's very helpful for us who wants to take care of our skin.🥰
Hi Dr. Alexis, would you ever do a video on different procedures. Such as microdermabrasion, microneedling, laser treatments, Botox? The product recommendations are great but I know for some of us we could use more intense treatment for our skin as opposed to just topical products. I’m only 27 and I am not feeling the fact that my skin is showing signs of aging more than my peers lol. Thanks!
I've been washing with Dove Moisture Boost Pre Body Butter followed by the matching Dove Body Wash and CeraVe Moisturizing Cream for body and Amlactin Daily Lotion on legs at night.
Can you also make a video on what to do if you have had excessive damage from using a retinal ?? I have been using the peach and lily line and my skin has gone nuts
thank you so much for sharing these gems with us, I (and many others I'm sure) appreciate it so much. I'm trying not to follow the urge of buying everything you mentioned but I'm definitely inspired! If you don't mind me asking, could you share where your necklaces are from? I've been looking for some delicate gold necklaces and I LOVE yours! Thank you so much!
Would love a skincare video for kids 8-12. My baby is starting to get acne a bit and I am trying to teach her good skincare habits like double cleansing and using sunscreen.
I drink loads of water which helps and wear sunscreen on my face as much as possible. Also ive discovered retaining the same hairstyle i had as a kid helps lol (im 43 now)
I have watched you for years now, I’m happy that my night thing routine is almost like yours. Minus the cream cleanser. I like gel cleansers. But I see some new products I might try now. Thank you for so of this free education on our skin and making us look and feel beautiful😊
It took me 5 minutes into the video to internalize this is her non-makeup skin. What?! Beautiful.

I know right!!!!! 🎉
Thank you 🥰
@@DrAlexisStephens So for a night time routine, is there just 3 steps you use for your face? Cleanser, Moisturizer, and Serum/Retinol?
Not that 40 is old, but I thought she was in her mid/late 30s. Her skin looks so radiant.

You're the reason I finally tried La Roche Posay Triple Repair Cream. No regrets! You couldn't pry this moisturizer from my dead, cold hands now! 😂
It’s sooooo good!
Che’ Moni, where did you purchase the product from and is it expensive? Thank you
Dr, I see this product and it says for dry skin, what would you recommend for oily skin, thank you@@DrAlexisStephens
40???! You look like you’re 20! I’m really paying attention to your routine now. Happy Birthday. 🎉🎉🎉
Melanine + self care
