Current Skin Care Routine with Before & After Pictures

[@jfrink1]

You are one of the very few beauty KZbinrs who are recognizable without makeup on!

[@kaylaleblanc92]

You are so informative. Definitely one of my favourite channels by far. Because of you, I am completely revamping my skin care regimen. I feel like I've been doing it wrong all of this time, no wonder my skin never improved. You put so much time and effort into the small things, as well as things that matter most. Your skin is amaze balls, you're going to age gracefully my dear. Anyway, thanks for all of the amazing tips and tricks!

[@JakelovesLevi]

Honestly, when I see comments that say something along the lines of "You shouldn't wear makeup, you look so much better without it/natural," I usually think it's flattery, complimentary bullshit. However, I genuinely think your natural skin tone, texture, and luminosity looks crazy good that wearing makeup really isn't necessary.

[@Stephanie_Sharer]

I love your videos! You speak very well and I love that you educate your viewers on the reality of ingredients! I have watched all of your skincare videos. Please keep them coming!!

[@MsStephNic]

Thanks Stephanie. You have an amazing name 😉 lol. I will have some more skin care videos up as soon as I get back from Thanksgiving visiting family. Thank you for watching!

[@falaqshahid4801]

I dont know why you dont have a million followers already! Like why??? Your videos are fab :O thank you for putting in so much effort in them:)

[@alexandrarineer5666]

I mix my Obagi blender and retinoid cream in a little container, mix it with a little spatula and it's ready to go! I just do like enough for 3 days and then repeat , it saves me a little time . Great video as always girl! Thank you I took in some new helpful informations!

[@melissahansen8736]

wow, its amazing how far your skin has come. you had so much some damage in that old photo you showed once. hard work, diligence and patience! It paid off!

[@GirlyTipsEtc]

You have amazing skin! Thank you for sharing! I recently starting a retin a regime and it did take some time for my skin to get used to but its definitely making a difference in my acne and scars. Thanks again, very helpful tips here! XO

[@brittanyruiz8327]

New subscriber here! I've watched 5 of your videos back to back!! So much information and I've learned so much! I am 29 turning 30 now in a few months and I made a promise to myself to start taking better care of my skin and I cannot thank you enough for these informative videos on face oils, AHA & BHA's, your night and skincare routine...everything! I just filled a cart in Sephora with some new goodies (I have normal to dry skin) and cannot wait to try them!!

[@demisomple4537]

I really appreciate all of your tips and tricks in all of your videos such as how even the container the product is in is so important so that it protects the formula. I learn so much just from watching you even though your skin type is totally different from mine ☺️. I love how detailed your videos are and the longer they are the better I leave the videos playing as I'm doing things around the house haha!! Love you❤️!!!!

[@angiemurillo02]

I gotta tell you, I've been looking for someone who will inform me on skin care and or makeup for older skin. I am 48, and I know we aren't close in age. But most women I find have either had work done or are well, snoooooze...... Boring!! ( and how the heck do I know if the product is working when they just got a nip and tuck). I do not look my age so I am grateful to have found you. 20somethings are quirky but I don't have time for all that. I need to learn how to take care of my skin to keep me looking younger. So my point is, thank you for all your knowledge and sharing it with us. I'm from SF so it's cool you're so close. (I've moved to the tri-valley but still love SF). Keep up the good work!

[@erinfromtexas1]

Just read your IG post. So I'm going to positive comment on all the videos of yours I have watched, and I will use your links for purchasing products during the VIB sale. I LOVE your content. It has helped me become a more informed consumer, and I have you to thank for my happy skin. Want you to know that people are grateful for what it is you do! : )

[@carolsmith8719]

Just An FYI for the tretinoin (Retin A) go to the app or website GoodRx and you can get a tube for about a third the price of normal at most chain pharmacies. I paid $23 for mine.

[@meganhardwick7547]

Can you please dive deeper into toners. Different brands and items that will REALLY brighten your skin. Also I have extremely red and dry skin so anything that will help with redness! That would be a huge help. I hope you see this even though this video is a bit old.

[@katybaby7755]

Thanks for the link to the spa headband. I need those in my life!! I hate how I always get the front of my hair wet when doing my skin care and then I have to restraighten my hair 😬. Love your channel. I'm all about skin care. You're so knowledgable

[@amyrightnow2]

I love the fact that you are in your mid 30's like me!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@mara_veena]

I love how long and thorough your reviews are

[@gwynneth9101]

I love how long your videos are, you provide excellent information...I just loveeeee watching your videos. I wish you had the time to post weekly :)

[@elizabethstanley6701]

I love your channel. I am mostly obsessed with your skin care videos. Everything you talk about makes so much sense, and I am so thankful for the clear and informative subject matter you discuss. :)

[@chenal7445]

Loved this video. Reminds me of watching Brianna Stanko's skincare videos as she loves and uses Obagi.

[@kristymatsen8262]

You do have beautiful skin! And good for you seriously it's not exactly easy to find a regimen that works for any skin type!! I slather coconut oil on my face and let it break up my makeup and then use a baby wipe that's before I wash and I have oily skin but I like to do that step first because when I wash my face it doesn't strip it completely even though I wipe most of the coconut oil off

[@mjl1227]

i was wondering if you could try out the mario badescu skin care line and review and let us know what you think!!? i have tried it and it was amazing for my acne, no I'm up to 80% clear with the occasional pimple. also i love that you're straight forward and honest in your videos

[@MsStephNic]

@jenn838 it won't let me reply to you on here. I believe you need to make a Google+ account so you can have the reply below your comment :) So I hope you see this. I use the Juno at night before my moisturizer step. So at night, I was my face, I tone it, then I use the Caudalie C15, give it a chance to absorb, then the Sunday Riley Luna oil, let it absorb, then the Caudalie SOS Thirst Quench as my moisturizer since they changed the Josie Maran pure Argan Milk I loved. I will be doing a video all on face oils 7 when & how I use them. Please check back & I'll have that for you :D Thank you so much Jenn!

[@x0alicia756]

with someone who has four kids, and at the moment is living paycheck to paycheck could you do a great alternative to all the oils toners moisturizers in your sincere routine morning and nightime?? I loveeee your routine in your other videos but problem is I can't afford it and my skin is so horrible being a tanning bed addict like I was for 10 years and a previous smoker my skin is not good ): you know your picture on your instagram of your before and after? well your before picture which I believe is the pic your going to show on this video oh yup it is lol but my skin is just like that but without me a crunching my face up like you were... I'm embarrassed ): please help and if you could do a video on great alternatives I would LOVE

[@carolsmith8719]

+X0 alicia Not sure if you had your answer but I would suggest picking up CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer to suit your skin type and eye cream from them too. Use an SPF every day, no exceptions. Remove makeup with a cleansing water or oil. (I use rice bran and castor oil 50/50 use less castor oil if you aren't as oily or acne prone.) Alpha Hydrox line at Ulta is drugstore and has good creams and toner with glycolic acid to help with texture and uneven tone, and you can use the $3.50 coupons on the items. Sally's has inexpensive hydroquinone to spot treat hyperpigmentation areas, don't use for more than 90 days without a 30 day break. You can order Vitamin C serum online, I hear Timeless sells a very good version for less than $30 (Obagi is around $60). HTH

[@carolsmith8719]

+X0 alicia Starr slow with the glycolic cream and serums because they can irritate if your skin hasn't built a tolerance. Patch test, then use the lowest concentration and add products as you feel comfortable. Minimum flakes or peeling means damaged skin is being treated. Redness and bad itching means it is too much.

[@haroonnaz4048]

Stephanie Nicole n

[@mirahinsy]

I'd like to hear about this skin confusion theory. :) You have me to obsessed with skin care .I wish i could afford to splurge on all the high end products you recommend but i have been trying toners and vitamin c serums and my skin care has definitely become a priority.

[@RivyO]

There is a skin salon at the Stanford shopping center that sells the obagi products individually and with different sizes

[@catm4993]

Sunscreen has done the most to change my skin! Boxy charm hooks you up with the most expensive skincare so I can actually afford to get nice skincare. I’ve gotten it cosmetics, Sunday Riley, dr Brandt ect

[@Sunscorched]

I would absolutely love a breakdown of Obagi products. I've been having issues with my skin ever since my painkillers were changed from Morphine to Oxycodone. I've always had severely oily skin, but now I have oily skin that's dehydrated and comes complete with flaky patches. I've always used Elemis, which has never failed me, until I switched to Oxycodone. Before I studied criminal psychology, I did the whole beauty/skin care thing up to the highest level possible at school, so you'd think I would know! It's been a solid 18 years since I did any of that, and so I'm a bit out of the loop, you could say!

[@gabbi7977]

So happy I found your channel! Learned so much about skincare (acids, oils, sunscreen) from you. I might not have the same skin issues as you but still such helpful information!

[@TKLalone]

I love your reviews they are always so in depth and I have so much to learn. Thank you for sharing

[@sunluvingal1]

Very helpful video! Your skin looks fantastic! Are you still using the Obagi C clarifying serum? I know it has the hydroquinone so wondered if this was part of your maintenance after using Obagi. Love Obagi!

[@MsStephNic]

sunluvingal1 Yes! I still use that on some morning, not every one, but a couple times a week, and then at night a couple times a week I might use the Clear as well. Thank you so much for watching!

[@jenns838]

We are the same age and I'm loving your skincare videos! How do you incorporate your Sunday Riley skincare products? Do you have a updated routine?

[@ArtByStephenB]

Great video as always! The only thing: toners no longer have anything to do with balancing the skin's ph. People only think this anymore because toning in the traditional sense used to be very astringent (most toners usually contained alcohol) and stripped the skin and quickly threw off the ph; however, even then, products don't really change the skin's ph. Our skin is hard wired to very quickly rebalance itself. Even if skin's ph did change from a product, it happens for maybe 1-2 minutes before it is rebalanced. I see a lot of people talk about ph of the skin during skincare routines, but really it is nothing to worry about. Modern toning basically removes impurities and leftover dirt from cleansing, gives skin a thin, quick veil of moisture before going in with other products (since you need to quickly add some emollient or glycerin-based moisture after cleansing since sometimes cleansing can strip skin), and adds antioxidants and/or anti-irritant/ and or/skin-repair ingredients.

[@MsStephNic]

Thanks Stephen. I have since updated this in my skin care videos. This was a while ago. Thank you

[@ArtByStephenB]

+Stephanie Nicole -Yay, you replied! Btw, I asked you a question regarding visiting a dermatologist on either this vid or another one (can't remember)- if you could please answer it I would LOVE you even more! (You're on of my favorite YT'ers! 😬). And I should've clarified: toning is absolutely beneficial to the skin! And your updated toner, the coq10 one from Japan, is a fabulous choice for toning. I was just saying the ph thing isn't technically accurate anymore. Thanks for the response! I love youtubers like you that actually respond to viewers. Thanks again.

[@ArtByStephenB]

+Stephen Bailey -Oh! My question is actually just below this comment. I just remembered.

[@MsStephNic]

Oh course! That's what I'm here for. I'm in Vegas for a work convention, so I'm lagging on all my responses, but I promise to answer. I'm doing it during my boring meetings 😁😂 I, too, believe toning is great. Can't go wrong with extra antioxidants 😁

[@ArtByStephenB]

+Stephanie Nicole -No problemo! Thanks boo.

[@TheMothernerd]

I love your vlog so much! It's so refreshing finding folks who know their skincare science. I've recently come across a Canadian company called Deciem who makes a number of different skincare lines including NIOD, Hylamide and The Ordinary. I'd love to see you do a review of some of their more innovative and popular products.

[@epictemptation7350]

Actually the lowest dosage of Retin A is 0.025%. I feel the rough two months of awful skin is an understatement haha. When I started it I had an awful purge but after about 5 months my skin looked and felt better. I was prescribed it for acne, my pimples and cystic acne was gone after 5 months. Now I am currently left with whiteheads and pretty sensitive skin. I think the retail price for my Retin A was around 115 dollars but with my insurance it was only 15 dollars.

[@MoonK.]

Coconut oil takes off eyemakeup like it was never there love it and i dont ever have to tug on my eyes which is a big plus (:

[@sallyfoster9227]

Did you experience slight peeling after ~ week usage of the Obagi cleanser?

[@zummagonzalez5096]

That lipstick looks fabulous on you!

[@MsStephNic]

Zumma Gonzalez Thank you so much, Zumma. Thank you for watching!

[@rosalindavaca2149]

I can't thankyou enough for your great reviews on products. I just ordered obagi face wash.

[@FloJo-eq9ho]

Love your honesty, research and opinions...so refreshing in this sea of sponsored vids. Just wanted to know your thoughts on the UD B6 spray. Do you still use it? I liked what it did but the alcohol content freaks me out a bit. Trying to find a decent spray.

[@prerajvarker]

Love the lipstick Stephanie​ is wearing in this video!!! Any idea what is it..somebody help me💄💄

[@Celena2947]

do more skincare videos, love hearing what you like. very informative. xx :)

[@MsStephNic]

VUSTAH Thank you so much! I will for sure :) Thank you for watching!

[@LBarbieful]

I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers!?!??! You are the best from all the KZbin "Gurus" lol

[@galatiakardon]

Watching it for the second time. So informative, i agree please do more skincare videos and reviews. Thank you for all the info, :)

[@MsStephNic]

Galatia Kardon You're so sweet! Thank you! I appreciate the support. Its always tough starting out something new, and putting yourself out there for the public & possible ridicule. I NEVER thought I would be on a high def camera with no makeup on for the world to see lol. Your nice comments are encouraging, so thank you. I am working on some more skin care videos. Some new products I just hauled, I just need time to use them so I can give my honest opinion on whether they are good or not. I will let you know when I do post it. Next video will be about facial hair removal, if you are interested. :)

[@raquelgiesler8101]

Stephanie, would you recommend going to a dermatologist first to see what type of regiments your skin needs? I love skin care but don't really know what I'm doing or rather what products I can mix or not.

[@Monoija]

Hi I love your videos because they're so detailed and informative. I was wondering if you could tell me why one should use toner is their skin care routine? I've never really liked using toner and I feel like its a useless step. Thank you!

[@jolenecacciatori5531]

Just a quick question. What are your thoughts on the new Rodan +Fields skincare products, such as redefine, reverse, etc? They are quite pricey. I was using the DoTerra skincare products, but after hitting my late 30's found I was in need of products that could reverse sun spots, maternity mask, get rid of alll the top layers of dead skin that were beginning to make my skin look crapey and I lost that youthful glow. It seems to have helped a lot, but I do suffer from mild breakouts due to hormones and stress. So to buy the acne line AND the reverse line In spending a FORTUNE! I also like suffer from dry skin with the same dry zones as you (nose and chin). Thank you so much! I hope you can help. Jolene

[@SpirwitchualShadowPriestess]

I'm just starting to get into skincare. The women in my family don't seem to care much at all about skincare but i do and i have a daughter that i would like to advise as she gets older. Your videos are very informative! My question is do you have any advice on body care as well? Like cellulite? Sun damage on chest and arms?

[@galatiakardon]

Thank you for sharing your skincare regiment. I'm 33 with dry, acne, sensitive skin and I enjoy learning what other people use that are my ages. Have you tried the Kirkland wipes? I love using them the most. On my wish list is thee Luna serum from Sunday Riley.

[@MsStephNic]

I'm looking to get my hands on it too. The oil is sold out online, but I'm going to check my store 👍😊 thank you for watching.

[@lyndsaymoates]

So glad I found you! I could only find women in their twenties or mature skin. I'm 33 and I'm starting to wilt! Thanks for your tips!!

[@leysim7950]

Hi I found you On KZbin I was watching another channel and your video Pop up and I have to say I love all of your videos im your new subscriber 😁👍 thank you so much for all the explanation , I have the same combination to dry skin and some times is hard to find the right products especially foundations ;) xoxo

[@MsStephNic]

Leysi M

[@sophiad9952]

Oh wow! She is beautiful without makeup!!

[@MindandMatterX]

Great routine. I would just say that hydroquinone should ideally be used at night and only in 4 months cycles. It is not meant for continuous use and you can hyperpigment again so you would have to cycle with some other lightner and combine with diligent sunscreen and avoid the sun.

[@danzasdishes7447]

Thank you for sharing! This information is great, especially as I try to figure out my own routine. If you could do a video reviewing Glam Glow masques and products, that would be helpful! I am interested in adding a weekly masque from them and I am trying to figure out the best one to get. Also, any thoughts on the new silver masque? Thanks!

[@michellecook2371]

Love your videos. THANK YOU for taking the time to post!

[@0xStephanyx0]

good afternoon Nicole. I just ran into tour channel a couple days ago and I already watched so many of them! I've been looking for a great knowledgeable youtuber that makes videos that are more educational rather than what everybody else does, and I finally found this channel. Thank you for all the work and effort that you put into your videos. they're very informative. about this video, though... you have mentioned that you have dry skin. do you think that this routine would work for normal to oily skin as well? if not, which parts you still think that would? thank you.

[@liquidfirez]

Hello! I just found your vudeos yesterday and I have been binge watching since. You are so knowleable and I really respect your opinion. If I could make a request for a video from you. I'm in my early twenties with acne prone skin. Can you do an affordable skin care routine suggestions video? I'm trying to integrate serums and such but I cannot afford what you use currently. Thank you!

[@melekecher5649]

I am your subscriber from Istanbul and i have same skin problems with you. This video is so helpfull. thanks for your honest opinion.

[@juliezink5467]

i saw you commented that Josie maran changed her milk formula, can you explain what changed?

[@Deebelair]

Great video, very knowledgable. I like using the fresh seaberry oil on my face. It helps a lot with my dryness. I've been using a sample of the Peter Thomas Ross cucumber hydration face mask and that is working well too.

[@MsStephNic]

Deebelair I really like a lot of the Fresh products. I have never tried any of their face products, besides lips, so I will give that a try for sure. Thanks for the rec. Do you sleep in the mask?

[@Deebelair]

I haven't tried many fresh products either but I love the face oil. I recommend buying the smaller bottle to try out first as it's much cheaper. The PTR face mask is left on for 10 minutes then rinsed off. My skin feels much better after.

[@Celena2947]

my skin is very dry and i tried the origins intense sleeping mask and i love it. saves my skin!

[@MsStephNic]

VUSTAH Oooo I will have to try that!

[@nnnaominicole]

Stephanie Nicole Did you ever get a chance to try the Origins Drink Up Intense Overnight Mask? I just recently started using it a few times a week and its wonderful. I don't wipe off the "excess" as the directions say though! haha ..not gonna waste precious product

[@Aashoo_gamer]

hi Stephenie, the perfect peel link you have in your details is not working. do you recommend any other type of peel. i really like how your skin os and would lie the same steps as you took to get a clear skin. thanks

[@cynthiacortez2577]

could I put a moisturizer that is in a jar into a pump to preserve the moisturizer?

[@aimeegracee]

Girl can u review the ordinary skin care line.. I think it's bomb af and it's affordable .. crazy line. Xo love your videos you the best with being informative

[@jerricalewis3180]

I've recently purchased the Loreal charcoal mask I normally use the Glam glow super mud and I noticed that they have a couple of similar ingredients but once the L'Oreal mask dries it doesn't feel as firm as a Glam glow. Majority of the other KZbinrs are claiming that it's the perfect dupe but I'm just curious to see what you think. I don't know much about ingredients other than some of the Glam glow are natural whereas the Loreal isn't but idk if that would really make a difference or not

[@veronicapaloma6103]

Love ur videos! I am 25 and am jsut now starting to take really good care of my skin. Your videos have been a great guide for me on this new journey to better skin! Thanks for your awesome videos. I wanted to ask you- I am in the search for a good sunscreen for my face. Which would you recommend to be the most effective and non irritating? I have dry skin.

[@MsStephNic]

Hello Elisa! I am obsessed with the Dr Dennis Gross Sheer Mineral Sun Spray SPF 50. It's amazing. Lightweight. Non irritating. I just had it in my Sephora sale buying recommendations & the last favorites I did (which was a while ago because I don't do monthly favorites each month unless I honestly have new products I'm loving lol)

[@specialk3021]

Seriously Stephanie I was looking at that today. It was that or the Peter Thomas Roth powder. Sure you can apply sunscreen in the am but what about through the day ya know? You have to reapply & I think women forget that.

[@elle1718]

Does Stephanie have a video just on how to use her clarisonic?

[@yesorno623]

Hi Stephanie :) love your channel!! I would really like to know what body wash you use or recommend .. Also a good body exfoliater! I know your big on ingredients so I'd love to know what you recommend.. Thank you!!

[@carolincanada]

Thanks for your reply Stephanie! I ordered my clarasonic ... cant wait to start using it! For the longest time I was hesitant to buy it because of my sensitive skin ... (mainly on my cheeks though) but my forehead texture is the worst its been my whole life !! I really want to get Obagi products also but Im in Canada and Im afraid of buying online .. would you recommend any sunscreen that I could buy at sephora ?!

[@MsStephNic]

carolinekerol I really like Supergoop seph.me/1FWtDtM it is great! The new Dr Dennis Gross is awesome too! seph.me/1JV8zDQ Start slowly since you have sensitive skin with the Clarisonic, and remember, just make contact with your skin, do not push hard against your skin. You may be interested to check out my Mia2 vs Foreo Luna video for a few others tips if you have any issues with it. Let me know how you like it after you start using it :)

[@mathildas757]

Hey. Stephanie. Thank you for sharing. Can you please give us more details about the facial peel? I haven't heard of the one you mentioned in this video, but I heard there is a facial peel called The green peel. You can google it and find it. I would like to know if you can give us some acknowledges about facial peel? I have scars from acne and chicken spots. I'm thinking to do a facial peel to reduce it. But not sure if it works ? Thanks again

[@ericavigil9567]

Very good info!!! I been enjoying retin a!👍🏽

[@candicegerman2748]

Would you consider Micellar water a toner ? What are your thoughts on Obagi vs Skinceuticals skin care products ?

[@Orpple]

love you vids!!!! so informative and researched! you're great xx

[@heartsxburst]

Are night creams really necessary? If so, what do you recommend? I really love your videos! I have learned so much. Thank you for all the information you provide!

[@peachy4728]

CeraVe has a really good night cream, and a really good line in general. My dermatologist recommended them to me.

[@brujaphoenix]

What is more effective for anti-aging? Tretinoin or tazarotene? Thank you!

[@Saaalaaamaaandaaa]

I am allergic to chemical spf of all kinds and can only use physical spf. Do you have any suggestions for quality bang for your buck brands? Most physical spf sunblocks I've seen are just way too expensive for me to justify, but I'm 21 and haven't worn sunscreen since I figured out I was allergic years ago, I want to start being proactive about anti-ageing.

[@sheebakitty1271]

[@sharonhoelzle692]

Hi! I just found your channel and am completely fascinated by your knowledge and talent!! I do have a question about skin care. I'm in my mid forties and have fine lines under my eyes. My makeup sits in it and I've really been trying to perfect setting with powder, but I'm also thinking I really need something for getting rid of the wrinkles. I'm using the Benefit line and love it, but I probably need more. What advice do you have? My skin is combination if that helps. Thank you so much!! 💜💜

[@MsStephNic]

+Sharon Hoelzle Under eye skin is very difficult because it is so thin. I would recommend an eye cream, there is one by Drunk Elephant seph.me/1SSFuvr, that will help firm those lines, its almost like it goes in & hardens & expands & helps keep that area more smooth. And try not to use too much powder when setting, because that can make the concealer appear to be more dry & crepey. I would also recommend Mac Pro Longwear concealer since it has ant-crease technology. I have used many, but none as good as that.

[@sharonhoelzle692]

+Stephanie Nicole Thank you so much for replying and for the advice!! I will give it a try!! 💜💜

[@specialk3021]

Steph why don't you use your hands for the toner instead of cotton pads? Just wonder

[@MsStephNic]

I prefer not to use my hands. You can, but I would waste product that way. Just a small amount on a pad works for my whole face & neck. What ever works for you though. Just personal preference 😊

[@specialk3021]

I do waste product :(. I always feel like a drop or 2 is never enough. I'll start using my pads again. Lol

[@shawnacordes7885]

Did you ever make the video on cleansing balms? I was curious about the different ones.

[@MsStephNic]

Sorry I have not yet. I love KZbin, but only film when I have a chance from work. I will be doing it shortly.

[@carolincanada]

Hi Stephanie, great video!very informative, finally a good quality skin care video here on YT! How long did take to the texture of skin improve after you started using you clarasonic?

[@MsStephNic]

carolinekerol I would say about a month, because I was also starting retin A, so that was giving me dry patches, and the clarisonic was removing them as my skin adjusted :)

[@ramongomez1366]

I'm new to taking good care of my skin ive always been cheap and gotten drug store which of these products would you say is the most important that I should start with?

[@shelbylingenfelter5341]

Very informative video. I was just looking for videos to see how people like the Clarisonic Mia 2 but I learned alot of things from this video! I never heard of using a product to peel of your old skin ( that sounds weird lol ).

[@MsStephNic]

Shelby Lingenfelter It is very weird to shed your skin like a snake or a lizard! lol But it is the fastest way to reboot it. I wouldn't leave the house for a little bit though, I was scary looking :) I love my Mia2, can't live without it. Highly recommend. Thanks for watching :)

[@MsStephNic]

+Tabatha Newcomb The oil is ok, but overpriced for what it is. I will not be using anymore of her skincare unless the formulations change. Too many irritants in it to make it smell pretty

[@specialk3021]

Yep I love it!

[@mrsmartinez21]

I don't know if you have done a affordable skin care?

[@veronicapaloma6103]

Hey Stephanie, do u have a trusted link for the obagi c serum?

[@veronicapaloma6103]

Oops wait I just saw in ur description you use the skinstore website. Would u recommend this site to get the c serum?

[@MsStephNic]

I have ordered from that site before. But since this video I have changed my c serum to the Drunk Elephant. The Obagi was turning before I even got half way through the bottle. So it was a waste. The Drunk Elephant is the same %, in an airtight, solid packaging so it's good for over 2 years. I highly recommend that one instead if you are I interested. Performs better too

honestly I feel like you look much younger with no makeup, thats just my opinion but makeup really makes anyone look older but you just look more refreshed without it but then again makeup is a form of expression and artistically its amazing to most artists lol I dont know just keep in mind not a makeup lover, I do love looking at it and playing with it but putting it on my face everyday - I feel like its too much work - for me its spf and sometimes eyeliner and thats it

[@MsStephNic]

Thank you. For the industry I work in though, it's not really an option. I can't convincingly sell beauty products for my job if I don't use them. I don't wear it just around the house. Just to work & when I want to play.

[@Kimberly__Klein]

Stephanie, you can buy individual Obagi products without having to get the kit from Lovelyskin.com

[@meggieprice]

I got my Mia3! I love it...one question- which brush head do you like best? I have combo skin...but not a lot of oil.

[@MsStephNic]

Meggie Price I use the sensitive head they come with, it has always worked for me, so I have never changed :)

[@meggieprice]

Stephanie Nicole I already adore it- I can't believe how clean and smooth my skin was... really amazing. I did kind of find the one minute a little short but probably need to just get the hang of it.

[@MsStephNic]

Meggie Price So glad you like it! Remember, go in zones, start on chin & nose, beep move to forehead, beep one cheek, beep next cheek. I do believe there is a way to make it longer, check the book, there should be a way to set it for a minute & a half, but make sure you are not over doing it, because that can lead to dry sensitive skin.

[@MsStephNic]

Stephanie Nicole Or maybe thats the Luna I'm thinking of. Hmmm. Can't remember if you can set it longer now lol

[@mysweettlife]

Skin care is a great investment. It means you have to use less products to cover up problems.

[@meggieprice]

Yet another question for my skincare guru lol- have you tried the Dr. Dennis Gross alpha-beta peel? It has been highly recommended to me....and I could get it for $42 off with my beauty dotcom bucks.... also i have seen a couple of YTs saying Clarisonic harbors bacteria - actually Wayne Goss said it and then other picked that up in response to receiving the MIchael Todd antibacterial one...what do you think? I was thinking he just didnt follow through past the breakout phase and sure enough I have mor zits than I have had in many years lol

[@MsStephNic]

Meggie Price I love them! I actually mention in this video, and a few other videos. I have been switching between those & that Algensit Bi Phase Peel. Love those both. I would definitely get them :) It CAN harbor bacteria, but that is why you need to change the brush heads every couple months. I also rinse mine with antibacterial soap after I use it. Most of the people all for the Luna, if you look in their description box they were sent it for free. I don't know how anyone could like it. Here is my view on Michael Todd, it is big on KZbin & blogs because all these people were sent free product to review with affiliate links & discount codes. I am always HIGHLY weary of lines like that. I have heard they have a few ok skin care products, but nothing to write home about given the current selection available. His Soniclear you only have to change the brush once a year, so it is less cost to maintain, but I don't mind changing my brush head, I like the amount of options I get with brush heads on the Clarisonic. I read this girls review on it, give it a peek spottedchic.com/2014/08/26/is-it-worth-the-hype-soniclear-vs-clarsonic-mia-2/

[@cynthiafigueroa06]

+Stephanie Nicole hey steph, love ur videos! Which antibacterial soap do you use to clean the brushes? Thanks!!

Can all freckles really be sun damage. I mean some little kids have freckles EVERYWHERE. YOUNG KIDS LIKE 7 YEARS OLD.
