 Hey guys thanks so much for joining me again. I wanted to answer a couple questions on these earrings that I had on in my last video that I uploaded. In that video I had filmed it last weekend and I said that I was going to film three videos hopefully that day to get uploaded at a later time. Well I did actually film those videos but they did not come out. So needless to say I'm filming my evening routine all over again and I figured I'd take the opportunity to talk about these earrings. These earrings that many of you commented on they're all different colors they're little like round little very light medley pieces very dangly I love these earrings. I mean these are really awesome awesome earrings but these earrings are old. When I was in high school back in that timeframe in the late 60s early 70s it was very common for a big furniture company I think it was called Lane Furniture to come and talk to the high school girls that were getting ready to graduate and talk about having a hope chest and they gave us little tiny small hope chests cedar lined hope chests and as an example of what a larger hope chest was well of course the whole thing was you can this is your hope chest you're going to fill it with china with pillowcases with certain things that you want to keep for that hopeful day when you get married. I don't think do they still do hope chests today I don't know I don't have any girls in high school and my boys wouldn't have been aware of that but anyway so back in the day we did have that and they gave these three little mini hope chests out to everyone and for some reason I used mine rather than my little my mother and dad they were not going to buy me a big hope chest so that was out of the picture but I used my little one as a way to collect my jewelry and at one point I don't know whether it was late 60s 70s and into 80s I put that away and I packed it away forgot all about it until one day I came across it a couple of years ago and inside that little hope chest were all my old earrings so I don't really know how old these are I'm guessing early 70s but it could be mid 70s could even be late 60s I don't know because all of the earrings I had in there were all vintage pieces that I actually wore you know and some of them I had I did see a couple of pictures you know that I had earrings on so it was really really cool so wanted to share that with you because I had some of you asked where did I get the earrings and how awesome they were yeah they're just old earrings that I saved from way back way back in the day so now on to my video this is a very highly requested video by many of you and that is for me to update my evening skincare routine and to be very honest with you I have had not so much I've not had a whole lot of changes I am definitely creature of habit but I am not an expert I I do listen to my skin I do go to a dermatologist I do follow their advice anyways my skin is an experiment in progress so what I do for my skin in no way am endorsing that you should do it or saying or recommending I'm just sharing with you what I do for my 64 year old skin in the winter time when it changes when my skin is super dry when the air changes heat comes on all the time it can be a real nightmare dealing with dry flaky awful skin and so my routine I have bought a few different devices skincare devices and I'll talk about those in the end if I have time if not it'll be separate video but my routine is pretty well consistent I come home from work and I can come home from work 5 36 o'clock at night and I usually leave on a normal day when I'm not having to drive travel anywhere other than my office I usually leave 8 a.m. in the morning so I get up fairly early I go to sleep fairly early but when I get home if we're not going out if nothing is happening I will stop the process of removing my makeup and normally what I do is I use if it is a if it is a night that I am going to be putting my eyelash serums on my eyelash growth serum which is right now I'm even using the blink product if it is that type of a night I use a oil-free cleanser and it's usually I just buy the equate you can get the new string to Gina show you the one I have I usually just buy the cheap equate oil-free I put it on my fingers I don't put it on a cotton ball and I just gently massage it into my eyelashes and then after that I will take some water and I will rinse it off so because it's a night of using that kind of a treatment I don't want to have any kind of oil residue around my eyes at all I was told way back when that the secret to these serums I know if they're true or not if you use any kind of an oil product any kind of oil based cleanser if you don't remove it all and inhibits the serum from actually doing what it's supposed to do for your eyelash growth so I've always believed that and I've always done it that way whether it's true whether it works for you that's up to you but that's what I do so on that type of a night I use a non oily cleanser to clean my face and then I normally will go in now I use it I usually do double at night double cleanse at night because at night your skin is is full of makeup so I might use a makeup remover wipe I got it at sans club in a big box I happen to like it I'll use that sometimes I'll wet it down with warm water and I'll just put it all over my face gently and just kind of remove a little bit of a first layer but it the key is gently then I take and this is what I usually use I have used other cleansers and I am experimenting with other products right now to but this is what I normally use in both in the morning and the night so I'll take my Cera V I'll put it all over my hands and then I will gently massage that into my skin usually use my Foreo or my Foreo dupe and I wet this with warm water and it kind of vibrates I'll wet it with warm water and I have the Cera V and I was just gently gently go over my skin down my neck all over the place then I've rinsed this off and then close it you know shut it down and then I'll take some warm face cloth and I will just rinse off the rest of my makeup and then once I do that if I'm still feeling that there is a huge residue I will go back in and I might use a different cleanser but if I have to go in a second time after I've done the two cleanses and then I will take a cotton ball and I will use either my witch hazel after I've done that and this is really gentle for me this is alcohol free this is a great toner I use it at night especially on a night I'm using my Retin A so I will put that on my cotton pad and that I can tell by how clean that pad is how good I did on my skincare so and this is again this is going to be something that switches up depending on what I'm going to be using so I'm talking to you right now that this is going to be an eyelash serum night in a Retin A night so I would then do this and I make sure I have that all over the all over my skin I let it absorb into my skin currently I'm using the niacinamide still from the ordinary I am looking into another niacinamide I haven't made my decision yet but this is what I currently use every single night I don't use it in the morning I know there's some you know back and forth about how you can use it in the morning in the morning I use vitamin C do I want to mix my niacinamide in the beginning I was I was told no don't mix them I just don't mix them I use my niacinamide at night and it's usually after I've toned my skin and lately I have been using an essence and this is the essence I cannot pronounce it I believe this was I've mentioned this in the previous video in advanced snail 96 so it's just a power essence this is I believe I heard from Natalie the beauty diva but then I will do my niacinamide I will put that all over and when I pat it in I don't know maybe 10-15 minutes I mean sometimes I'm doing this in shifts and layers I will come back and then I will take the ordinary's buffet this is what I will then put into my my skin I let that absorb in I'm usually not in a hurry at night so once I've done that that is kind of the last step before I get into my retin A then hopefully it really all depends on the time sometimes I've done a mask sheet mask sometimes not sometimes they do sheet mask in the morning so it really switched that up a little bit but if I'm doing a mask I'll do the mask you know before I put on the the serums but on the serum night when I've done that after I've done my niacinamide and my buffet I let it dry I'll go in with my retin A this is my powerhouse I don't think it's gonna make you stop aging I think it will help you control the wrinkles you have to a certain degree over time so to me this is a powerhouse so I would not be giving up my retin A for anything in fact when I get approached from skin care companies I say listen I use retin A I'm not willing to to not use retin A to try test your product if your product is something I can't use with retin A or whatever they're not interested in trying a retin A alternative because I use the big guns these retin A so I use the 1% and I do put it my forehead down my nose I go all around my cheeks down here on my upper lip I use a good amount of it and I get it cheaply from my novices pharmacy so I use a good amount of that amount of it at the same time I take my eyes my eye treatment so I've been using the Olay pro retinol eye treatment this is the UK version the US so somewhat identical same name US is a red version the ingredients are somewhat the same but they're in a different order and I think the different order of intensity as well meaning you know how much of the amount of that product is in here there is a new US version out that I'm really excited to try but I'm not going to try until I'm done this so I normally take a tiny drop and I put a drop here and a drop there and you could actually see like two white drops then I just tap them in and I tap them in focusing on my lines right here and I tap tap tap tap tap tap now I must tell you that I've washed my hands after my retinol application so I no longer have retinol on my hands because I don't want to be putting it transferring anything left over on my fingers to appear of that powerful so I do I tap that in at this point in time and then usually at this point in time I take my eye serum and I'm using the blink eye serum which is the same thing as the care post this is what the container looks like and there's a little tiny indent here I take a drop and I put it in there and I just do like eyeliner on both sides of my eyes that's that's how I do it and I usually do that about four to five times a week at night so now I have everything on I the last step that I usually put on is I will take my B venom cream I use this B venom cream religiously this is the B venom cream I buy at TJ Maxx or Marshalls it usually cost me about $5.99 if you're lucky enough to see this in your TJ Maxx or Marshalls and you're not allergic to bees I would consider trying it I find this to be a super super moisturizer I put this on at night all over my face and literally it does sting me it absolutely does sting but that is usually my last step on my skin two other creams that I really like one is now I've done my eyelash serum I've done my my Olay pro retinol for the deep wrinkles at night I take the note via skin firming and soothing concentrate this and I will take a tiny little jab of it and I will put it on the inside corner of the eyes now some mornings I use it as well it all depends on how early I get up I don't want this will sit on your skin for a while it does not sink in on my skin anyways so if I'm going to if I don't have enough time for this to dissipate or whatever this won't play nice with my at least not my makeup my eyeshadows so usually this is an at night process or on weekends or when I don't have to get ready or I'm not gonna have eyeshadow on I'll do it in the morning just a tiny bit right on that fat pocket and that's it and then I take my timeless eye cream this is what I'm using currently although I'm gonna be checking out another one I take my timeless eye cream and I will dab that on and I will go all around up top now I avoid my eyelash area because I don't want to have any issue but since I put my eyelash serum on early enough this shouldn't interfere at that point in time if I feel that I need a little extra moisturizer around my smokers wrinkles will take my it secret sauce I love this cream this is really really expensive at the time I bought this it was the most expensive cream I bought myself but I do like it I still have plenty and I use it and it's expensive and I am more of a affordable type of products that I like to use so that's really my nighttime routine in a nutshell and I now have a couple of tools that I use so my retina use which I was using retina five to six times a week is now more like four times a week in some cases three times a week really depending on what else I'm doing to my skin I bought the I bought the the Lobel ultrasonic skin spatula I'm just bringing the empty cover in here because it's easier for me to carry that in the bathroom but I bought this and this actually cleans out my pores beautifully I make sure that if it's a night that I'm using this or in the morning that I've used it I would end up and I'll do a video on how I use this if there's an interest but I probably use this three to four times a week and I love how it cleans out my pores it is it's amazing to me I love it so I'm really glad that I bought that I got it at QVC I pay it like those monthly payments that makes it so much easier the other thing that I bought on QVC that I love because the and I've mentioned this before this is the trophy skin microdermat abrasion and I love this absolutely love it so my gadgets that I bought this year these are the two gadgets that I bought this year that I'm like freaking out and so so enjoying so this to me is the like a once every three weeks this is a deep deep deep exfoliation you don't want to over exfoliate your skin you want to be really super careful about that because you can over exfoliate your skin you don't want to do that so currently right now and their website said don't use this when using retin A well I'm gonna do it my way doesn't mean you need to do it this way it's up to you but this is how I'm doing it so every three weeks or so currently I am using this and I make sure that I use this either two or three days after my last application of retin A so if I know this weekend I'm going to be using this my trophy skin derma derma abrasion MD if I know that I'm gonna be using this this was a week in which I'm not but next weekend I will I will make sure that I don't use if I do this on a Saturday morning or a Sunday morning the last my last application for my retin A will be Thursday night every two weeks I am currently doing the derma rolling I still use gin amber I love her derma rolling system I am going to be trying a product that's sent that's gonna be sent to me on derma stamping you know that's the right way to word it I haven't got it yet so I'm not gonna show it but rather than the actual rolling is actually like kind of stamping on your deep lines your deep wrinkles I'm gonna be using that I'm doing this about once every two weeks I'm perfectly content doing this once every two weeks I use a face numbing system I make sure I numb my face before a derma roll and perfectly content doing it once every two weeks I hope I covered everything because you guys all wanted to know about my nighttime routine my products stay basically the same I don't have that you know huge product turnover so yeah that's that's what I'm doing so anyways thank you all so much for spending some time with me and watching this video I know it might be on the long side and hopefully I explained my routine well enough I don't think I left anything out I hope so next up is gonna be my morning skincare routine and then those people that have asked for my diet update as far as what do I actually consume in a day I'm working on that as well and I'm also working on some of my year-end favorites which probably wouldn't get published until January anyways so I've got a couple of video ideas but I would absolutely love it if you guys in the comments below leave me suggestions on some of the things you'd like to hear about you'd like to see me cover in my videos so I would really love that and I appreciate every single one of you and I know I can't express that well enough but I truly truly appreciate every single one of you your support has meant the world to me thank you all so much guys I hope you all have a wonderful day
