 Hi guys, it's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me. I am going to share an update on a couple of Devices I've been using and some new skin care at least new to me in the last month That I've been using and some empty so if you're curious What I've been using on my 69 year old skin that even a doctor who Recently saw me in real life without any lights with everyday makeup Was amazed at and this is a Oncologist and the oncologist was amazed. So if you're curious stay tuned How's that for a tease? I know it was a big tease, you know, but it's the truth you know what I've had a number of medical issues the last couple of years and When I first went back to my primary who hadn't seen me for a year Then about two years ago He made a comment as well But in general when I went to the dermatologist when I went and had my most surgery When I went to for my ear. I went to have gone to a number of doctors That in the last two years, these are people that really don't know me so they commented on my skin and They see me Not the way you see me, right? I mean, they say I don't have lights. I don't have a bunch of I don't have a bunch of makeup on now Anyways, but I don't you know just wear very little makeup in my day-to-day work world and And even the oncologist this last time she came in and she said you don't look 69 And that's the type of comments I get from health care providers from the nurse practitioner Who saw me two months ago said I can't believe you are 69 when we watched you walk by the nurse's station to go into the Examining room we thought with there was the wrong person coming in because we were looking for someone that was a 69-year-old woman And we didn't think that was you and I'm not exaggerating. I'm not saying that you Make myself feel good or whatever It's just the comments that I get and I know I'm far from perfect and my skin is far from perfect but I know that the things that I have been using on my skin and my consistency has really made a difference and Because it's made such a huge difference for me and inspires me to continue on obviously so One of the things that I want to tell you that I have been using for a month now and I started to use this. This is something that bats take control of beauty She has talked about Ella Frida for the longest longest time. It is a US company I believe they're based in Florida. They ship to Canada to the UK. They ship Pretty much to a lot of the larger countries and they have a really lovely lovely product line and I was fortunate enough to have Simon from Ella Frida actually reach out to me and Offer to send me a couple of products that I could try and because I know that Babs Loves their products. I was like all over it. I was like, oh, yes I will definitely try it. So I mentioned this before they sent me a cleanser This cleanser is really really nice. It has a very It just it just gives your it almost polishes your skin in a way and it's not I don't believe any Exfoloration or anything of that nature, but it just gently kind of polishes your skin. It leaves it that clean It smells really nice. It goes on really smooth and more importantly your skin feels super nice afterwards sometimes when Use something on your skin. Sometimes it can leave it dry feeling at the end This feels really really nice then they also have a toner a hydrating toner that I've used and This along with which came in perfectly for me because he was the ordinary glycolic toner a lot And I have one other toner that I really like a seaweed type of a toner So I don't like to use a glycolic toner every day or the seaweed toner every day So this was just a really nice treat. I really like it again This is something that goes on really Nice when I do my morning skin care, right? And I use my toner the products that I use in the morning have to play nice with my makeup And if I was just going to use something at night, I probably wouldn't care, right? Because I'm not going to put makeup on but so when I put the toner on and I and I let it dry on And you know, I might do the rest of my skin care And you know, I might end up doing my last thing is usually my my sun screen So I want the combination of everything that I put on to work well together and so far This has really really worked well together. They have this really nice gentle Exfoliator. I really like this now their products are They're there it may be if you want to call it price range higher drugstore 20 $30 range, right? So mid mid to lower range or whatever You know, I look at some creams that are 60 70 dollars or exhalation and to me That's just like crazy But the price point on these are very very good and I have a 25% off Q-fon which if you're interested in you know pursuing the products the link will be below I really like this and you know what Babs if you know Babs would take control of beauty She has raved about this in and I know that you know, I pray for Babs every day I know I know those of you that follow her pray for her as well She has just the most Amazing skin. She's she's a woman in her 80s and you would never never know it by looking at some of her videos I pray that she gets healthy. She's going through breast cancer and and many of you know that But anyways looking at Babs has been an inspiration For skincare for this product and also to make sure that I'm very very proactive with man of grams with You know taking care of my body That That is a lesson that is really being hammered home by at home by everything that Babs is going through So I said I wasn't going to try the vitamin C Because I have a big bottle of vitamin C and I really hate to have too many open products But this is a pump. So it's really nice. I love when you have a vitamin C in a pump Timeless is in a pump now a few of my other products are in a pump It makes it so that you're preserving it. You're not contaminating it. It just I think the pump System especially for vitamin C Really is awesome and they have a pump system for almost so far everything other than The toner and they actually do have a pump that you can put in there and of course the the exfoliating cream So these are the four products that were sent to me. I've been using them for a month. I like them a lot I like them a real lot in there and My the vitamin C is too new because I just started to use it But the last two times I've used it. I haven't had any issues Vitamin C is what I have the hardest time with my makeup afterwards because it it sometimes just pills up and is Really awful. So the vitamin C the product line I think it's just really really awesome granted. It's only been a month But I am loving it and I think especially with the 25% off that I have I just think that's an amazing discount and The price point comes way way down. So thank you to Ella Frieda sent to me complimentary In exchange for review, they didn't have any stipulations. They wanted me to try it Obviously if I like it talk about it They didn't say if you don't like it don't talk about it But that's sort of like the you know the un-said words if you hate our products don't mention them So I really like their products a lot. I really do. I think that they've got a great line The other thing that in them and many of you've asked about this. I have talked about my candy way I will link that below. I have talked about the mask that I use my candy way. I have put it I mean I have put it on my scar In the morning, I I'm very very lazy when it comes to that. I get up I mentioned this before I might wipe my face sometimes I I just refresh with a makeup wipe, but many times just a face cloths just refresh it go back to bed. I Let it dry. I put on my candy way mask and I just lie there ten minutes Five days a week is what I'm doing Ten minutes five days a week and I do it Monday through Friday So it's very easy for me to remember Saturday and Sunday. No candy way And I put it on my breast for my lumpectomy sky, which was quite big on the on the top I absolutely love love I think that has made the biggest difference in my most recent skin here. I've been using it since April I think my skin has thickened up I think the texture of my skin is better, and I'm really thinking that it has given me Moisture back in my skin instead of it being as dry as it was So the other thing that I'm using is is current body The current body. I'm going to open this up. I want to make sure yeah current body the current body I don't have a discount code. They often have sales. They have different combinations, but I use the hand and My hands are Pretty bad. My hands pretty bad. I have some age spots. I have Wrinkles my mother has in the past talked about how oh my hands look I have been using this and I have been using it on the same schedule Monday through Friday I'm going to probably increase it. I don't think it'll hurt, but I've been using it You plug it in you have clean hands. You need to make sure your hands are clean You don't have any sunblock. You don't have any makeup. You don't have anything. I don't so I always wash my hands dry my hands plug it in Put it on sometimes I put it on my lap. It's a stable surf surface And I turned it on and it goes for 10 minutes And I'm just like listening to a podcast or I have the news going and I just Kind of edge out while my hand is in that machine when I'm done when it's done I unplug it and then you can put a moisturizer. So what I've been doing and I get this off of Amazon you can probably get it anywhere, but I really really like this. I've been using this on my legs You know, it's supposed to help with creepy skin It's got for a furlick acid retinol It says it's an anti sagging So but this is what I've been using so afterwards after I do it then I Moisturize my hands. You can moisturize your hands with anything. This is pretty affordable I have it on auto delivery on Amazon when I find something that I buy on Amazon that I like I usually do auto delivery. So have it on auto delivery So then I put that on and I let it, you know, let it dry and and I Hate I hate to say it because it's been a short period of time It's been a month, but I I I'm seeing a difference in My hands. I don't know if anyone else can but and I know it's too soon, but I'm seeing a difference I feel that my skin Just like my face It's starting to thicken up a little Is it wishful thinking? I don't know. I don't know it's probably too soon to really know But that's what I'm thinking. So, you know, I really I think I probably am gonna cut this video short at this point Because I was gonna go into my empties, but I think then the video will be way too long and you know based on my Demographics, I think probably, you know after seven or eight minutes unless you're super interested in the topic You're gonna you're gonna phase off, but I really think that it's made made a difference. And again, that was sent to me complimentary I I'll link the website and I'm just putting this cream on I like this cream the cream was not sent to me it's the current body device for the hands and I just really I think it makes a difference if my hands continue to improve I'm gonna be dancing a jig and you guys will all know about it because it's 69 I was thrilled when my face started to look better. I never thought my hands would look better But my gosh, I think they are looking better, you know, I do and it's like You know, and I don't do much with my hands, right? Because I I I don't have a dishwasher So I am the dishwasher I don't tend to go and have manicures and pedicure pedicures on a regular basis and I don't have fake nails On I can't tell you when the last time I had nails done. It's probably I Probably a list. I don't know I Maybe last summer sometime. It's been it's been a while I do like to have a pedicure and I'll probably go have one of those done soon But this has been working really well, you know, and I put it like I said on my my hands as well My legs as well So I'm in it I'm gonna stop the video here and these two products as an update because I did want to let you know because people ask all the time and And I think the combination of my collagen because I do take that collagen powder every day But because because I'm super consistent If I was a person that took collagen for 30 days and then stopped but I've been taking it for years So I'm super super consistent when I believe something works and my collagen supplement the powder I noticed something very quickly into it because I used to have dry creaky elbows that bled That's how dry my skin was when I started to use my collagen powder That was the first thing I noticed that I said, well something's funky about my elbows. They're not dry. They're not they're not bleeding So when I saw that difference way back in 2016 I said, I'm gonna keep using this stuff and I did So I think that taking the because it's internal you drink it. It's not something tropical You don't put it on But I think that has made a huge difference and of course at the same time I started my retinae So I I use retinae But I'm at the point where with my retinae I use the 1% I probably use it three times a week You know, I'm not as like I'm not a daily user I think my skin is accolinated and I think it's helping it. I would certainly benefit from more tightening I've been using some devices The one that I've been using is a fubushi. I think I showed that in my last video So I've been doing that every day just to try to tighten here where my gels are I don't know if it's gonna work, but anyways, I'm gonna stop talking I'm gonna end this video because it'll be super super long and I will probably see me in my next video in the Same outfit cuz I'm gonna just record my empties right after this So thank you so much for watching and if you're new to my channel, please subscribe.
