Hi friends so the video today is all about The mistakes we make when we start out our skincare regimen or even as later on as we're going through and we're trying to tweak things I have learned so much in the past seven to eight years About skincare and the things that I was doing in the beginning I almost cringe about now that they are easily corrected and that's what I want to help you with today We're gonna go over what those mistakes were and then I'm gonna go ahead and give you super simple ways to correct them What is really exciting as well is that this video is a giveaway which I'm really excited about I've been loving being able to give things to you guys of my holy grail products from suko yaku suhara You are gonna get the urea moisture lotion and the urea moisture eye cream These are every single day without fail.

So if you're not watching somewhere in this video Yes, I know it's a long one, but somewhere in this video There's going to be the way for you to win these and you might miss it if you don't watch it And of course you have to be subscribed I would have really appreciated if you would give this video a thumbs up and ring the Notification bell so that you can be notified of this video was inspired by my friend Lisa from Lisa Monique Beauty She did a video that went absolutely viral about beginner mistakes women over 50 make with makeup And I just thought this is a perfect title and she did a fantastic job on it I will link her video below if you haven't had a chance to see it I wanted to give her the shout out for it because I just took the makeup part and switched it over to skin care Let's get into this video first mistake that I was doing personally and I feel like we all do it Thinking that more is best and it's not necessarily true with skin care Now I have a product here from City Beauty and it has a dropper system in it And as you can see that is a pretty small dropper dispenser and when the product comes out There's not very much there. Look at how little came out there There's not a lot there now when I first started using this I thought that's not enough product But it really is enough product to go over your face and it really did my decollete and the back of my hands as well Now what I feel is so important about this is our skin care can get a little bit pricey We might be running through it too quickly We might be having to repurchase it too much But if you usually use what dispenser they have there in the bottle You will usually get the right amount for that product. I learned this from good molecules They had a great post on their Instagram, which I will link below as well And it showed how much you need and I was surprised it was a very small amount the stake number two is Not exfoliating your skin enough and I was reading an article. I believe it was put out by City Beauty or allure I can't remember one of those two and it talked about how we have at least eight layers of dead skin and Possibly way up into the 20 so 8 to 20 layers of dead skin on our face now if we're not Exfoliating we're not being able to get those first few layers off our skin is gonna look dull and lifeless And it's not going to look beautiful with makeup on it I do not exfoliate every day if my skin is doing well I exfoliate every other day if I'm having a tough time and I have exfoliated I will wait until my skin is calmed down before I go in and exfoliate again I do have a few exfoliating products. Some of my very very favorites are the glycolic toners And I have one from the ordinary the glycolic acid 7% toning solution And then I have one from good molecules the glycolic exfoliating toner I would say that these have about the same amount of Exfoliation in them because when I put them on they feel the same they give me that tingling feeling now another very Popular one is from the ordinary. This is the AHA BHA peeling solution this peeling solution is quite hefty It's got 30% AHA in it And so if you're gonna get a lot of exfoliating from this please read the directions on this I think it's like two to five minutes that you leave it on and then you wash it off And you really rinse your face with water to Kind of balance out or take away all of the exfoliating so that it doesn't continue to happen City beauty. This is the dermal reset exfoliating concentrate. This is one that you can leave on overnight like The baby facial I think it's from drunk elephant and then Sunday Riley good jeans Those both are pretty much like this one. This one has some really great ingredients in it that help to calm as well I love this one. I can only use this one maybe Once a week and with this one It's maybe twice a week another one that I want to mention is actually a recommendation that Wayne Goss had a whole video On this just the other day and man. I ran to get this. This is the drunk elephant TLC glycolic body lotion This one I put it on once a week So once a week when I go to bed, this will be my exfoliator Those are the ones that I have that I absolutely love and that I feel like are very very effective I guess right now. I'm really into exfoliating Number three mistake that most beginners make is sleeping in their makeup I cannot begin to tell you how much of a no-no this is Sleeping in your makeup not only will clog your pores, but as it clogs your pores It's also going to make your skin look older are robbing yourself of the prime time in your day To be able to get the most benefit out of your skincare or skin rejuvenates itself at night Just like the rest of your body, you know how we're always told we can't go without sleep because that's when the body Repairs and rests. That's the same thing for our skin. Our skin is repairing all night long. It's resting So if it has great ingredients on it and those ingredients can sink in because you've taken that makeup off You're gonna have the best result that you can possibly get from your skincare at night Now I do want to say that if you have makeup on you really do need to do a double cleanse Because most of our makeup is is oil based or does have oils and silicones in them And so you want to take all of that makeup off with a good makeup remover like a bomb I love the good molecules bomb. I love how to Lobo's oil for taking off makeup Those are all so good But what happens usually with those is right after that you can still feel some grease on your skin And you don't want that grease to be on there because it will create a barrier and the skincare that you put On next will not be able to penetrate. So you just need to go in with another cleanser My very favorite is the Cera V hydrating facial cleanser. This is for normal to dry skin and I do have dry skin It does not strip the natural oils off of my skin But it will get all of the oils that that balm or that cleansing oil has put on and you do those cleanses and You have your skin all bare and there's no oils and there's no makeup residue anything on it Then it's in prime shape to receive your other Skincare number four mistake that I feel like I made big time was not using niacinamide in my skincare I did not realize what a powerhouse niacinamide is I watched a video and I will try to find that video from a dermatologist here on YouTube And she talked about the how beautiful niacinamide is for skin care Not just because it brightens niacinamide can go in into our pores and just sweep out all that old dead skin The dirt the makeup everything but it goes deep the other reason that I feel like it's such a powerhouse Ingredient is it can be combined with almost any other skin care ingredient You know, there are certain ingredients that don't go well with each other because they fight against each other You know that you were told not to use vitamin C Maybe with another active like glycolic acid because they can be kind of making the skin more irritated Niacinamide is not like that. It really acts well with just about everything including retinols vitamin C Glycolic all of those things it does really well with and the only one that I use Because I have seen fantastic results from is the good molecules niacinamide brightening toner which has licorice root alpha arbutin and Vitamin C in it itself. I saw results with within two weeks of Brightening my pores looking more refined because there wasn't a bunch of gunk in them And I feel like this was a huge game changer for me as a matter of fact It was in my game-changing video number five is not using retinol or retinol I have to tell you that I recently ditched my actual tube of Trentinoin And I was up to the point one percent the highest that you could possibly get and I was using it every other day But I was beginning to get such a strong reaction from them I don't know if my skin had built up a sensitivity to it or what But I had to step down to the retinol products and I am noticing that my skin isn't any worse for the wear I'm still getting that rejuvenating effect. I'm getting a great turnover cellular turnover I feel like collagen is being built as a matter of fact I almost feel like it is doing better than it was doing now I will show you the one that I'm using that is the absolute powerhouse that I have found This is from truth treatments and this is the regenerating a retinol gel And I have this in a 5% and I have it in a 1% and that's because this is really pricey by the way And I apologize It's just it's expensive But the reason that I have it in the 1% and the 5% is because when I got the 5% I almost just my skin was so Irritated and it could not handle that so I just step down to the 1% even though this is very expensive You need so very little so literally I touch my finger on there and that's gonna do I don't even know if you're gonna be able to see how much is on my finger That's gonna do almost my whole face. And you know what? I should have said this at the beginning All of these things are just my experience They're what I've talked to about with my Derm Doctor And I highly encourage you to talk to your dermatologist before you start any skin care regimen Because that is so very important You have to remember to talk to your doctor and and definitely get your own skin care regimen that works for you And I can only use this once a week or once every other week It's that much of a powerhouse and that strong if you can't handle that actually let me go on to the next Mistake which is gonna work into the next products that I show you even though they do involve retinol. It's not combining Vitamins together in your skincare now talking about vitamin A which is retinol or transinoin retin A and I'm also Talking about vitamin C Which is an extremely high Antioxidant brightening agent and I'm talking about vitamin E Which our skin needs to repair and soothe and all those kinds of things so a step down from using truth treatments And how much of an active that is on my skin? I will use the ordinary and I have two serums here One is called the ethylated ascorbic acid solution That is a vitamin C and the other one is a green active retinoid 5% in squelling and Both of these are oil based so you're gonna want to put these on after you've done all of your other serums Or if you just want to wash your face and use these that's okay too, but I did notice a pretty big difference I thought that I could step out of using the actual Trentinoin and go right into using this and Be okay with using it every night I couldn't at this ended up being very active on my skin It was very effective and the two together the two vitamins together were made so well together And I could really tell a difference in my skin But vitamin A or the retinols the retinoids those are all the things that have been absolutely 100% proven to plump up and build up collagen that we need and can penetrate down and make collagen If you ever see any skincare with the word this has got collagen in it throw it away Don't even go there because the collagen molecule is too large to penetrate our skin All right The last one that I'm gonna show you is the easiest one on my skin and I am able to use this one every other night You're gonna see a lot of city beauty in here and no this is not Sponsored by city beauty city beauty is having 40% off right now of their Their site their whole entire site is having 40% off and I'll make sure that I leave my link down below and the code If you want any of it, it's it's just good good skin care and I've really enjoyed having it But this one is the advanced retinol system. It's a two-part system So it has two pumps right here on the top So the first pump and I'm gonna show you this because again look how small amount we need not very much So the first side is to restore and basically it has all kinds of yummy good ingredients in it That penetrate our skin and get our skin ready for the retinol that's coming next and then the other one is Renew which is the retinol side and it pumps out even less of the retinol part and so I think that's quite interesting that you need even less of that because it's an active ingredient that will Still penetrate the skin and this one two step is fantastic. It does have a fragrance. I will tell you that it's not a bad fragrance It's not a heavy fragrance, but there's definitely a fragrance in there And this has been so good for my skin the number seven mistake that I feel like we all make and I know that I made it So often is not listening to our skin and when I say that I'm talking about these active ingredients Retinols vitamin C those things that can really cause a lot of irritation if your skin gets to the point where it's raw It's hurting you need to back off and you need to listen to your skin when we have a reaction to something It's usually because it's being irritated You know if you had a makeup product that you put on and it gave you hives you would back off of it And the same thing goes especially for retinols or retin A Trentinoin if you have a super bad time with it in the beginning either back down to the less potency of the of the Trentinoin or skip days You might need to just be doing it once a week You might be able to do it every other day, but whatever it is your skin is telling you wait a minute Hold on. I'm too sensitive right now. I need a break. Give it that break and then go back to it You won't lose any of the benefits that you've built up You will definitely continue to build those up Your skin just needs to get used to it and it needs to do it slower than maybe someone else So don't compare yourself to somebody else number eight is first of all not using your products in the correct order and also not Targeting your specific areas that you have problems with okay, so the correct order is always as a rule of thumb You go from your very thinnest product up to your very thickest product So if you are using something that is like my niacinamide toner is just water basically It's a consistency of water So you're gonna use that first and then the next one would be use Using your serums if you're gonna use a serum then that serum is a little bit thicker So you're gonna use that serum next and the next thing would be a moisturizer that is moisturizer is quite thin It's gonna probably run down my hand and then the last step would be anything that is in oils So you can use that you know like I talked about these being in squelching You can also use your super heavy-duty Moisturizers that maybe have a little bit more oil in them. I use the suko yaka suhara urea cream It is very thick and it's quite kind of sticky almost like Petroleum jelly and I know some people do use petroleum jelly for their skin barrier Use those all last what those do is lock in all of that Wonderful beautiful skin care that you've already used and it's gonna lock it in But if you were to use that first and then try to put your skin care on top of it None of it's gonna penetrate none of it's gonna get through now along with that you want to address the concerns That are most important to you You have a lot of wrinkles you have a lot of forehead wrinkles a lot of wrinkles around your eyes around your lips Take that treatment whatever it is and you target that area first So the majority of your skin care or whatever you're using is gonna go on to that area first If you start rubbing out here on your cheeks It's all gonna go into your cheeks and then you're gonna have just a little bit for your eyes for your forehead Where those deep lines are you know? Maybe your leavens But if you start there then the majority of that skin care is gonna go right into those areas first Those are the areas that are gonna benefit the most from it because they're getting the most of the product number nine mistake is Not using enough sunscreen now I know I told you before that you're using too much product and you probably could use less But now I'm telling you more is more in this instance and I absolutely love the dermatology Universal tinted moisturizer with an SPF of 46. This is what I use every single day I have found that for my dry mature skin This works better than almost everything that I use and I am very very generous with this I usually use four to five pumps That's five pumps. Look look how much is in there now I'm gonna show you a little demonstration here on the screen of how much I use and how much goes on my face So I'll use those five pumps on my face and I'll work those in then I'll use another two pumps on my neck And decollete now keep in mind my hands will have a lot of the products still on there But my neck and my decollete and if I'm wearing a shirt like I'm wearing today I will go over my shoulders to make sure that they get done And then I'll use one more pump and then I'll go on the back of my hands and make sure that the back of my hands are Very very covered. I feel like women don't use enough sunscreen. Alright, so earlier I told you that you had to have two words The two words are going to be fresh skin and you can say it any way you want to in your comment You don't have to be sneaky about it You can just say fresh skin and you know go ahead and just put that down there And that's the only comment you need to leave But in order to win the giveaway you have to have this comment has to say fresh skin and you have to be subscribed Hey, the very last thing I'm gonna disclaimer one more time Do not do this until you see your doctor and make sure that none of these interact with any medications You're taking or they're okay for you to take if you have any underlying medical conditions This is just what I do Now I feel like personally that we need to take supplements to make our skin healthy the reason that I feel like that is so very important is Because you have to and I am going to say this again You have to have to have to build what you have from the inside out Not only taking care of it from the outside in our soil that grows our food Does not have the kind of nutrition in it anymore that we need because it's used so often that it gets depleted as well And even if they do use fertilizers back, it's not always getting the right kinds of nutrition I was watching another dermatologist talk about the importance of using D3 and K2 now I am D3 deficient on every single blood test that I take which is good for all kinds of things it's good for helping to absorb calcium helping to balance your skin barrier It's good for your mental health. It's good for your emotional health You're if you have depression, which is what I have very Significantly this is my K2 supplement with the D3 K2 is something that balances our whole body's Calcium deposits he explains it better than I ever could that's the reason that I am on this and then here's that city beauty Creeping up again. I take City Beauty's complete skin restore promotes firm smooth radiant skin It has some amazing ingredients in it and I absolutely love this I and my hair is growing like a weed and I have you know I cut it so so short and I recently just cut two more inches off of it to keep it at its length But it's growing so fast and this is the reason my fingernails grow really fast It my skin just looks so much better and so much more radiant I feel like with that But here's the three things that I heard about from another dermatologist He had a set of twins came in come into his office that were identical twins And he thought they were mother and daughter because the one twin looked like she was in her 70s and the other twin looked like she was in her 40s and Then he tried to delve deeper and figure out why the younger looking twin looked so young and it was because In where she was living at the time was in Europe and she had found that these three things That she was taking at the time were really helping her with her joints and her bones She had osteoporosis and she was just really trying to grasp at things that might help her and her husband got on it He was feeling better. So this is not only good for women It's good for men too, but it's a powerhouse for the way our skin reacts and also our hair And I'm sorry. I'm not gonna have all the scientific jargon about what these three things do But I will share with you what I do and know about them. The number one thing is my depression I have noticed a huge huge difference in my depression And I've also noticed a big difference in the plumpness of my skin and how I feel like my skin Just springs back it has that bounce to it that you get so I feel like these are really doing that job Now, let me tell you the very first thing is a collagen supplement This is from vital vitamins. It's a multi collagen complex It says boost hair and nails growth skin enhancement and joint support It has types one two three five and ten of collagen in it it has no its non GMO its lab verified and it says that Collagen complex formula is vital for healthy hair skin and nails promotes healthy digested function Supports joints bone and cartilage health and helps protect cardiovascular system. So that is I says it's keto-friendly Non-gmo made in the USA. The next one is crevable crevable something like that liposomal hyaluronic acid a thousand milligrams per serving and what this says about the about liposomal Is it's a super high level, but the molecule is smaller as well So that our bodies can digest them and absorb them as we're going along in our day It says hyaluronic acid acts as a hydrator plays a vital role in the skin hair nails and joints This is all about the plumpness of our skin holding in water Hyaluronic acid that we put on our face. It holds in the water. It holds it to our skin draws it to our skin Same thing. This is gonna hold the water. We're gonna retain the water I shouldn't say retain the water because if you're somebody that's on water pills, you're going I don't want to retain water It just puts the water into the cells where it's supposed to be last one that I'm gonna talk about is soft on mental this is a Gobi something like that premium saw saw Pimentel and this is extra strength and it says it supports urinary health Supports healthier hair. Not only does it have the saw Pimentel It has ashwagandha root, which is really good for adrenal fatigue and for Depression turmeric, which is excellent for any sort of anti-inflammatory You know if you have joints that hurt or you know, you have different parts on your body that are inflamed It's a good anti-inflammatory whole holy basil black pepper I can't say half of these nettle leaf ginger root green tea it has a ton of really good ingredients in it and I just have been enjoying this so much and you Only need one capsule of this a day and they do give this to men with prostate problems But then they found out how good it was for women's health as well Especially their joints and their hair because it balances out the testosterone levels So it's not gonna make your testosterone level go real high and you're gonna grow hair where you don't want to It's just going to help balance that out So that is the last of the supplements and that is the very last one on the mistakes as well Hopefully that was helpful to you I know it was a very long video and I apologize for that But at least you get an idea of what I feel like is super duper important for all of us Oh, let's get a dialogue going in the comment section below Are there things that you maybe don't agree with with me? Are there things that you completely agree with are there things that you were like an aha moment for you? Possibly for your skincare. You are all doing very well. Happy and healthy. I love you so much Thank thank you for your support and I'll catch you again in my next video my friends. Love you bunches. Bye. Bye
