Hi Angie. Cheers to Friday nights with my KZbin girlfriend. This was a great video. I’m always particularly interested in what you have to say about skincare. You are also a walking talking billboard for great skin around here, as many people ask me what I’ve been doing to make my skin look so great and I tell them all about you. I’ve been sleeping on my wedge on my back now for 3 and a half years and use almost all yr skincare products. Anyone reading my comment who hasn’t tried Angies skincare routine, I’m the same age as Angie and was a sun worshipper inQld Australia which has the highest skin cancer rate in the world. Try laying 3 hrs each side using a mixture of baby oil and brown vinegar. I did this for years and had the deepest tan, looked a lot older than I was. I have had so many skin cancers cut out, burnt and frozen off that my dr lets me take my own stitches out with a special little thingy he gives me. But since using Angies skincare routine, I never leave the house without putting 50+on, use all my skincare and retin a, which I’ve been doing for about 4 years now, and I’m blown away by the results and positive comments I receive. So Angie, as always, thanks for top advice, I believe Angie has the best advice I’ve found on KZbin. Sending you sunshine from Oz with 50+ xx🌞🌺🏖

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I'm so happy to hear you're a sunscreen convert!! But I had no idea you've had so many skin cancers removed... I worry about that too since I was also a sun worshipper. Thank you so much for sharing your skincare journey & I'm psyched it works so well for you!! xo ~a.

[@LibbyKirkland]

I'm the same age too, was a sun worshipper! I've had the wedge almost a year now, but started Angie's skin care routine about 2+ years ago and I get compliments on my skin a lot. I totally agree that Angie's routine and advice is bang on.

[@b.walker5955]

Tracey, I am so moved by your story...especially the part that your Doctor knows you so well, and is confident in your many experiences, to allow you to REMOVE the stitches. How my heart hurts for you. But THRILLED you are on top of the fight and not permitting C to stop you. I trust your story will be encouraging for all, and for all to recognize the importance in knowing ABCDE's of skin cancer and what to look for on change or progression of melanoma. Here's a friendly REMINDER : A: Asymmetry B: Border C: Color D: Diameter E: Evolution (change) ~ continued health and wellness to Angie's OZ friend. 💖

[@mrs.g1710]

-Nellie -m hello fellow Queenslander. So happy to see yours and Tracey Higgins comments from my side off the world. I agree it is frustrating to see that a lot of the products that are mentioned are not available here. I know we can order from overseas but they become quite expensive. Do you purchase anything this is available here. Even Chemist Wharehouse has run out of some Cerave products. Just about to buy more sunscreen, could you let me know what you use? Have a fabulous weekend 😎

[@LindaPatch1]

She talks science, and she is OFTEN really, really incorrect - that's why.

[@maryjopowers2532]

Only one issue with this list..For those of us with curly hair, a silk/satin pillowcase is an absolute must to help with frizz! I do think it helps with my skin as well. Alot of us are side sleepers and will never change. Cotton sucks the moisture right out of your skin. Silk/satin does not as much. Otherwise I agree with everything else!

[@LibbyKirkland]

I've been a side sleeper my whole life and I started to notice creases in my forehead and cheek, especially on the side I always slept on. The wedge does take a bit of getting used to, but now I love it, I settle into sleep right away and no more creasing! (plus it helps with flair ups of acid reflux!)

[@julienordendale4245]

I was going to say the same thing. I haven’t never heard of using a silk pillow case for skin or waking up with perfect hair. The reason us curly girls use it is because it is far less damaging to our hair. Cotton pillow cases cause friction that we don’t need.

[@deb9806]

I use silk pillowcases and a small wedge but sleep on my side and back. I think the height and silk help, I don't see deep wrinkles etc.

[@debradowling800]

My Mom and Nana always' slept on a silk pillowcase, I'm carrying on the tradition. Do notice a difference when I don't.

[@bonniea8189]

Someone gave me a satin eye mask that works fantastically to prevent that eye/cheek crease from side sleeping. Occasionally I take it off during sleep and am so bummed to see the crease when I wake up.

[@prviolist]

The silk pillowcase is a must for me. It's amazing for preventing frizz, tangles and breakage. It also isn't as porous and absorbent as cotton, so more moisture stays in your skin and hair.

[@julie3884]

Always appreciate your honestly and explanations in your videos. I never feel like I'm being sold too, I always just feel like I'm listening to a friend dish on what products they use! Thank you as always!

[@cherylp7841]

[@naryamulligan]

I have been watching Angie for a couple of years and have to say my skin looks so much better. Also I was applying my makeup the same as when I was in my 30's, yes I looked older, Angie's suggestions for makeup application for older people (I am in my mid 50's) was such a positive change for me. I also took her advice regarding shampoo and conditioner. Thank you Angie, you look friggin' beautiful!

[@bretts5346]

I love that you always advocate for the planet. Thanks, Angie! 🌱

[@AndiDoesStuff1973]

Hello Angie, Love your advice and am following most of your skincare routine and seeing very nice results! I do, however, use a silk pillowcase. It does actually work for me. I have crazy natural curly hair and the silk fibers allow the hair to slide more easily than the fibers of a cotton pillowcase. So for curly hair, I highly recommend!

[@su6132]

You’re such a gift to us viewers! So thankful for YOU!

[@donnaroberts34]

Angie, as usual you hit a home run! So glad you addressed so many of these skincare products that we all wondered about. Since I started watching your videos several years ago, I have added many of your suggestions to my skincare routine and deleted many that were not necessarily good for me. THE BIGGEST THING THAT YOU TAUGHT ME WAS SLEEPING ON MY BACK CAN BE LEARNED! As a life-long side sleeper, my head between the pillows and rolling around all night, I thought it was not possible to ever sleep on my back. Well, I'm here to tell you it can be done with minimal effort and a little bit of perseverance. Since I've started this routine, I wake up with zero bags under my eyes and my face looks so much fresher without the dents and wrinkles I used to get. THANK YOU, GIRLFRIEND! I love how honest you are and all that you're doing to help us women look and feel so much better about ourselves! 💖

[@giakhan4432]

Hi, Angie I totally agree!! I am a woman from South America (Guyana) I don't use too much products on my skin. I am 56yrs old and everyone think I am in my early thirties. Nice to hear others advice and information. Thank you!

Thanks, Angie. I have followed your skincare routine for the last year and am loving my skin. Thanks!

[@kimthomas9836]

Thank you, Angie! Such common sense practical advice!

[@Rye_Toast]

Silk pillow case for hair: it’s supposed to help avoid breakage, I’ve never heard that it did anything for styling, that doesn’t make sense. I went through a period of high breakage and my stylist suggested I switch to a silk pillowcase because it’s gentler on hair during the night, and it’s been a gradual process but he was right.

[@scGenMOT]

Also, for us gals who are part of the curly hair community, sleeping on a silk pillowcase is the gold standard for minimizing frizz. There are even silk sleeping bonnets for curly hair! :-)

[@kristendawn9000]

If you get lash extensions, it's supposedly gentler too if you're a side sleeper. I've found it helps a little. I tried the wedge thing. I always ended up on my side anyway.

[@StephieFaith]

It also helps from your pillowcase absorbing your skincare if you sleep on your side. My face tends to feel dried out with a cotton vs. a silk or satin one!

[@rogojo9853]

I have wavy and curly hair and I started to use a silk pillow case. I noticed less hair breakage and my waves were set in place. This meant I could use dry shampoo more. I can go two days w/o washing my hair. I wash my hair on the third day.

[@deb9806]

@@rogojo9853 I started using silk pillowcase when my daughter with natural black hair recommended it. Helps a lot with heat too and I don't sleep always on my back but don't get the "cotton wrinkles" I do with other pillowcases.

Good to know I didn't fall into any of the the "don'ts", so close to the silk pillowcase - thank goodness I heard the voice of reason to clarify that ! Also, instead of wedge I use 2 pillows and sleep on my back. whoop! whoop! to Angie

[@fayecarter5923]

Wow!!! Surprised by your silk pillow experience! While I do not sleep with my head elevated, I DO use a silk pillowcase & couldn’t live without it! I find (mostly for my hair) it makes a huge difference after it has been styled and, I figure if that’s true then it must help my face skin slip around a bit as well. Just my experience, but I have recommended them so many times to friends.

[@meckismicki]

Hi Angie I'm with you. No extra creams. The one exception is I got an eye cream in one of m monthly proscription boxes. Upon reading the ingredients I noticed in contained ingredients targeting dark circles, like licorice root. Well I don't have dark circles, but had a stubborn spot on my temple close to my eye. I use proscription Retin A, but not close to my eyes. So I decided I have the eye cream. I'll use it on the spot and it began to fade. It is now almost gone. I feel the same about the silk pillowcase. I got one as a gift, but I have a Temperpedic adjustable bed and by morning the pillow was on the floor. I didn't want to waste it so I cut it and dyed it to make a decorative pillows for my guest room chair. The rest of the pieces I cut into little squares and made eye glass wipes and one silk sleep eye mask. I can't use my Retin A on my neck so my Dermatologist told me to take an empty jar add 3 Tbs Cereve and a half tsp Retin A mix and use that on my neck, chest and back of hands. I also can only use mineral Sunscreen. First I bought the Australian Gold and it was very drying on my already dry skin, so I added my hemp seed and rosehip oil to it so I could finish it up. My one oil is my Hemp Hemp seed + rosehip seed oil. I use it mornings after my other serums and Vitamin C. It is not thick and sinks right in and plays well with my Retin A if I ever get a flacky patch. If I find cheap make-up wipes I buy them to keep in my purse. I hate if my hands get sticky & use them as wipes. Or wipe finger prints off my makeup containers. Have a fabulous Autumn I have a pot on the stove with cloves, cinnamon sticks, pumpkin pie spice simmering and a Pumpkin Latte I'm sipping, on this first crisp morning.🎃🍂🍁🌻🎃

Yep, even Dr. Dray, our dermatologist influencer, loves her. P.S. you still absorb Vitamin D with sunscreen! If you live in a cooler, grayer part of the world like I do, in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, taking a Vitamin D supplement, or incorporating more into your diet is essential! I even use warm UV lightbulbs to "glow" up my apartment. Vitamin D is tantamount for hormone synthesis, among many other things, my fellow post-menopausal ladies! Great for your anti-depression regime for colder, grayer days...

I love your channel and your scientific, well researched and honest reviews. You have changed several things in my life and I am very grateful for that. About the silk pillow case, I have been using it for some time and I personally do see a difference in my hair texture. When I sleep on my all cotton pillows, my hair is looking rougher and I get a lot more frizz. I live in a very humid area and have fine hair, so the amount of frizz reduction makes the silk pillow case worth the money for me.

[@rosemariemastro-watanabe2000]

Hi Angie 👋😁, I agree with you on everything. I don't use "eye cream" or "neck/ deloitte cream" either! It's just a gimmick thing. I have also been "double cleaning" my face since I was a teenager. It just made sense to me! I also never have used a "scrub" or mask with what I call "grit" in it. Your skin is delicate, like a canvas..the last thing anyone wants to do is scratch or blemish a canvas!! I just turned 50 and people don't believe it. Great tips and thank you for your honesty!

Can’t live without my silk pillowcase. Not for wrinkles or hair, but as a side sleeper it doesn’t dry out my face the way cotton does. I used to wake up with such dry skin and my nightly face products were basically sucked out into the pillow case. Now they aren’t and I don’t have to rehydrate my skin every morning anymore. Plus it’s the feeling of pure luxury. It also helps since I AM a “hot sleeper”. At only $20 per pillowcase on Amazon it’s totally worth it! 💕

FYI eye creams are made for the eye area IE so that it doesn’t hurt the eyes if it travels into the eye. If you have very sensitive eyes not a great idea. When I got a little tiny bit of retinol in my eye I woke up to blurry, red irritated eyes. Swollen. To each their own but I’ll stick with my eye cream I know I can put right over my upper lids without waking up to a nightmare.

[@afic10]

@@loveisnotaghost is not true, if a “regular” cream hurts your eye area, is because that product is not suitable for the face, regardless, most of the eye creams out there have fragrance, essential “naturals” oils, straight up fragrance, SD alcohol and other terrible things, is really a waste of time, other than being richer in texture or greaser, they’re absolutely not different or ophthalmologist tested, my cousin worked at Development and Research at Estée Lauder, La Mer uses the same base as the most basic cheap drugstore moisturizer but people believe all the nonsense marketing hype, talk about ignorance 😆.

I am so grateful for this video, Angie! I've recently had a "skin resurfacing" laser procedure and am using the luxury post-op skincare products included in the package. Though nice, they will be too expensive for me to use long-term. Your product recommendations give me hope that I can continue to keep up this much- needed improvement to my skin care regime without breaking the bank. Plus, the number of brands and products available is overwhelming so extra thanks for your diligent research and for sharing your knowledge and experience. You are a beautiful person!

Thanks, Angie. Once again a very helpful video. I really appreciate how you explain the science behind your suggestions.

There is so much adversity in our world, it's great to have the upbeat nature of your channel. ❤

Love all of this great advice especially not needing "eye cream" when we can use our facial serums and moisturizers under the eye as well. One thing I wish I could do is sleep on my back. I just can't do it. I don't breathe as well on my back. I've tried different pillows and I have the head of my bed elevated as well (per doctor's orders). Sleeping on my back would be best for this medical issue as well. So it would be very good if I could sleep on my back. I've even tried Breathe Rite nasal strips to see if that would help me sleep on my back. Nope! I wish I could. If I want to sleep I have to be on my side. I do use satin/silk pillow cases though.

[@cristinamh7073]

Agree on the hyaluronic acid. I actually feel like it doesn't work adding it to my routine. It is like my skin feels dryer for some reason.. I do like my silk pillowcase though. I feel it keeps my night cream on, while cotton pillows absorb it or rubs it off. I also think it's really comfortable too 😌

[@pamelachacha]

100% agree. Hyaluronic acid is a gimmick product because the particles are too big to be absorbed by the skin. Your skin feels moister on initial application but then it starts to actually draw moisture out ultimately leaving your skin feeling drier.

[@lisajarema3241]

What a dermatologist explained to me was this: HA creams pull moisture from your face to provide a temporary plumping effect. Eventually, it evaporates, causing dryness. Her suggestion was to layer another moisturizer on top of the HA product, or put the HA product on a damp face.

[@mave143]

If you use hyaluronic acid, you must put on a moisturizer after applying the HA. Otherwise it will draw the moisture from your skin, making it dry.

[@LilituCaprinae]

Apparently it matters greatly on the type of climate you live in. Hyaluronic acid actually pulls moisture from the air into your skin. It's like a magnet for moisture in air so if you live in a dry climate it will then pull all that dryness into your skin defeating its originally intended purpose.

Angie, my skin has benefited so much from your product suggestions and my dermatologist agrees with them too. Many years after I stopped being a sun worshiper I developed a tiny basal cell carcinoma on my face so I see her every 6 months to make sure everything is good. It's one of the reasons I don't use HGH. I've decided I need to get a wedge pillow and a pillow for under my knees due to hip, joint and lower back pain or maybe I should just be swaddled each night. 😄 Great video as always! XXOO❤

[@staceykersting705]

I know this sounds crazy, but plz bear with me, I had chronic back and neck pain for 30 yrs (car accident). I heard many phyto toxins aggravate swelling and joint pain, so I decided to go avo-vore for2 days to see if my joints wd feel any better. Had no idea it wd erase my back/neck pain completely in just one day!! Wasn't hard to do at all. Now I'm using a sort of elimination diet to find which foods were causing the inflammation. So far I've been fine with dairy, green beans, mushrooms, pumpkin and smallish amounts of berrie, and, of course,avocados...that's why it's called avo-vore. U may like to check out some videos by Dr Berry, Stephanie Keto Person, or Carnivore Yogi, if you're interested.

The comments reflect how individual needs/results may vary. I've had dry skin my entire life, my undereyes, while not terribly wrinkled, saggy, or discolored, are forever dehydrated. I layer moisturizer over my entire face. I also use a dedicated eye cream and, when wearing makeup, a moisturizing eye primer in the inner corner and undereyes before concealer. That's what works for me. All to say, take in lots of information, figure out what works best for you, then do you. I think that underpins Angie's entire channel, and it's why I love her content!

I have started using an eye cream recently for the following reasons: - It is more lightweight than my moisturizer (I like thick hydrating/greasy moisturizers); - I use it right after toner or serum but before my retinol to prevent irritation around my eyes - it turned out that I am not so careful with the retinol transferring towards my eye area so I started getting redness and irritation there. It might be not necessary product indeed but I do not think that my regular moisturizer is very suitable around my eyes and I want protection for the delicate skin from retinol. This works great for me so far...

Face creams and eye creams may have the same ingredients but it's the % of each ingredient which makes it different. For e.g. you have oily facial skin but the skin under your eyes may be a lot dryer. The concentration/% of glycerine in your moisturiser may not treat the dryness under your eyes and using a moisturiser with more glycerine to help with the eye problem may be problematic for the rest of your face. This is why it's good to have separate creams for your face and under your eyes. Creams are not made the same and use heavier butters/oils for dry and delicate areas such as under your eyes. The same goes for the neck; it's very rare that your neck would be as oily as your face and you wouldn't want to apply the same % of ingredients on your face that is needed for a neck with dryer skin. We know these areas are a lot different because of when we use acids or retinoids. Great video, watch them all 💚💚💚

I agree. If you use heavy creams under the eyes with shea butter, etc. you will get milia lol

Hi Angie, happy Friday! Great video, as always. I don’t use any of the things on your list except the silk pillowcase, and here’s why I do that: (1) I just can’t sleep on my back (I have a lot of issues that cause pain if I do so for more than a few minutes, and I snore, which makes my husband wake me up!); (2) I am in my 8th or so year of hot flashes, eps. at night, and I live in Florida (!!!), so yes, I need that coolness; (3) my hair has very open cuticles and needs the extra smoothness as I’m transitioning to my natural wavy hair (I think the silk is most important for wavy & curly hair with high porosity/open cuticles, so if your hair is smooth and straight with tightly closed cuticles, you won’t see a difference - also, it doesn’t change overnight - it often takes until you’ve shed the existing hairs and new ones have grown out); (4) I like that silk is less absorbent than cotton, so my skincare is staying on my face! Anyway, I always enjoy your content. Have a great weekend!

I was surprised that my silk pillow stopped hair breakage and my face was less dry in the AM. All pillows are cool until we heat them up with our heads. Silk pillowcases are no different, I do not believe that they are colder. Like all things, it takes time to see any changes. You didn't say how long you had tried your silk pillow case.

[@johnharp5384]

When you have naturally curly hair, silk pillowcases are everything. Also, anyone who claims silk will diminish wrinkles is...well...wrong. But silk is not as absorbent as cotton, so theoretically, if you are a side sleeper, your skincare will stay in place better overnight.
