Penn, so if EMS wears of botox faster (in your test) then we should conclude that micro current does the SAME! My plastic surgeon really recommended to stay away from micro current while botox is still active anywhere on my face! Thoughts ?

That’s interesting about the zinc supplements because I noticed that my botox lasted longer this year! I thought my injector had some sort of magic (she is amazing). However, I recently started taking zinc supplements! And what’s crazy is that my old injector put way more botox compared to my new one, so I know it’s not just in my head that the results are lasting longer! I noticed an extra month or two, and who wouldn’t love that? It’s amazing to hear how great zinc is for our immune system AND wrinkles. Thank you for continuing to educate us with your knowledge 😇❤️

I'd be curious what fillers/Botox you have Penny. Love all your videos. I learn so much !

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I get Botox regularly and have had filler over the years. At this point now I have about 1/2 a syringe in my lips (this is very new for me-I didn’t used to EVER want filler in my lips. I do it now not for volume but to shape them the way I want). Where it looks like I have a ton of filler (my cheeks) I actually don’t. I just have big cheeks and always have. Just looking at my son’s school pics today and he has my cheeks (he’s 12) and it made me smile 😊 I used to have filler under my eyes but I dissolved it. I do get sculptra injections-that is a bio stimulator that helps grow your own collagen). I do that in my temples (just started that) and the frame of my face. I think that’s it? Oh! I had a TINY bit of restslyn contour put in my malar break (it’s a line in the cheek where the malar pad creases). These are of course all spread out over a long period of time, not all at once. ❤️

Hi, some injectors dilute down their botox too much....so your results might not last as long. And then you need to go back to them for some more....and more money for them- just saying. Maybe try another injector just to compare how long your botox lasts.

Hi Penny I see lots of videos on winter skincare focusing on hydration but they never seem to take acne skin into consideration. So should acne skin types not use exfoliating cleansers and leave on in the winter time?

[@Kendralovesskincare]

I'm obviously not Penny😊 but I have dry hormonal acne prone skin. On top of that I have to wear a kn95 masks daily which is a nightmare for my skin. My skin Always gets so dry in the winter. What I've found to be helpful is layering light essences with beneficial (for my acne) ingredients as well as adding extra layers of hydration. Lately I've been using the One Thing toners/essence's. They offer one ingredient so you can choose what is most beneficial to your needs. I'm enjoying the propolis, artemisia, centella and houttuynia cordata. These are specific ones all have benefits for acne prone skin, while adding light layers of hydration. The cosrx snail mucin serum and all in one cream are great for my skin because they are hydrating while helping heal up breakouts. Hope this helps😊

[@Kendralovesskincare]

One other thing, in the winter I tend to use more lactic based chemical exfoliators as lactic is "hydrating" in a sense. I will still use a BHA cleanser and toner a couple times a week but not as much in the winter since it tends to dry my skin out more in the colder weather.

HUGE mistake! the botox under my right eye has caused me not to be able to move the top corner of my mouth at all where as before it was already paralyzed but had a bit of movement. the botox under my lip has caused the right side of the lip to be stuck up over my teeth, In short I talk like the penquin in batman. I am miserable. hard to pronouce words, I bite the inside of my lip when I eat, etc. I am trying to smile constantly to stimulate the nerve to come back. HELP!!! It is 38 days post injection and I need to get this out of my system ASAP. any suggestions?

I'm such a weenie. I just got the very shallow needle CIT and plan to try it tomorrow. So, it's crazy to ask, but what do you think of PDO threads? I think you have an older YT about it.

After watching this video, I tried to find The Ordinary’s argeriline serum, and I saw that they have a matrixyl serum. Penny, is this something you feel is a good swap for argeriline? And is it something we could nano needle or cosmetic needle with?

How often do you derma roll with the Arg? Thanks for your help :)

[@deborahdrucker3189]

Where can you get phytase? Especially in the amount given in the study?

[@ritablunt8721]

i am curious also, i have looked on the web, non of the sites have phytase listed in their Zinc product. What brand do you suggest.

[@homesketza7454]

Penny I have a question, does Oregon prohibit use of Galvanic modalities to do facials? TIA

Where did you get the moon and star necklace? I love it

[@markdolan9088]

Hello friend, how are you doing😊😊?

[@sherrellboonstra5066]

I just got botox a few days ago. Do you think it will help to start taking Zinc now, or did I miss the window? How much should be taken?

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

The study had participants use zinc citrate 50 mg and phytase 3,000 PU so that would be what I would think is ideal. I don’t think you’re out of the window 😃 As long as you’re fine taking supplements of course ❤️

Juveau lasts so much longer! And it kicks in faster.

[@mindydenison9307]

I love your channel. I live in Washington and would love to come see you. You are amazing. You have helped me so much with my skincare. I’m 39 and just got botox around my small lips to give a lift. My lips feel numb and I don’t like it. Thanks for this info.

[@markdolan9088]

Hello friend, how are you doing?

[@crissyanderson6495]

Thank you so much for this information Penny! I’ve been so upset for days! I went to the dermatologist and he said in order for me to look beautiful I need Botox, Fillers and Laser really?? I ran out of his office crying 😭 it was just devastating to hear this! I need help! When would you use the argireline in a routine? After toner or before moisturizer?? Thank you so much and have a wonderful week! Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️💚❤️💚❤️

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I think you need a new dermatologist. I am 1000% sure that you do NOT need any of that to be beautiful!! For me argireline is at night right now and it’s only spot treatment. I used to do it in the morning (spot treatment) 3-4 times a week on days I don’t do acids or l-ascorbic acid. Now I do it at night with my serums and just between my brows and outside my eyes. I then go on as usual. 1-2 times a week I will try to add a dermaroller to that area as well. It’s really a matter of remembering 😬. I’m trying to make it a habit ❤️ I’m so sorry you had that experience, no one needs any of this stuff to be beautiful. I’ve had enough interactions with you to confidently say that you ARE beautiful.

[@crissyanderson6495]

@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you so much Penny! You are just so sweet! I’m still so upset! I’ve always been so self-conscious and he made it 10 times worse! Not to mention, even if I wanted to have all that work done, I couldn’t afford lol.. So, argireline can not be combined with acids or l-ascorbic acid but can it be used along side copper peptides or retinol? I also use it as a spot treatment too! In between brows, forehead and under eyes! Thanks again and have a wonderful week! And Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️💚❤️💚

One time when I was in my 40's I went to my usual injector for botox and said I think its my crows that bother me the most and told him I didn't think my forehead was that bad. He said something like "oh honey, yes it is". So, of course, I got it there but what the heck?! I'm 55 now and still think my forehead isnt really that bad. Of course it looks better with botox but he really shouldnt have said that. I was clearly ok with how that area looked. Just like everyone else, skin experts are all about their "thing"...A painter is going to notice if a house needs repainting more than the average joe, my optometrist friend notices if someones glasses aren't the right fit or shape for them more than the average joe, etc etc. We have to take these type of comments with a grain of salt....the difference, I think, is that these peoples opinions concern our looks, which we are much more sensitive about. Just something to think about with our skin care journey!

[@crissyanderson6495]

@@amydeckard7305 Thank you so much for your reply Amy! It was so just so upsetting not just the comment itself but the delivery of it! My looks have always been a real big problem for me even from a young age. Being picked on my kids and family members and then still as an adult comment’s always being made makes me very self conscious. I do appreciate what the doctor was trying to say but being rude and snarky about it and saying that was the only way for me to look pretty just devastated me! I truly appreciate your comment and I hope you have a lovely rest of the week 🥰🥰

[@amydeckard7305]

​@@crissyanderson6495 I would be upset too, so sorry that was your experience and what you have dealt with. We are definitely more than our looks!! You too

[@marquettagunderson8820]

great video ....but where is ur sweater from.... LOL

[@tracymcginty2242]

Hi there ,what was the cost of the surgery u had on sides of face , not ur neck part ..OMG u look fabulous Xx

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

I’ll try and find a breakdown of each and share. I paid a deposit, then I actually paid every month (they let me pay ahead) so that by the time I got to my surgery I had it paid for. So I’m not sure on the individual pricing. I’ll find out and let you know! All together it was in the mid teens I believe. Somewhere around 15-16K 🙂

[@dnibcn93]

I got gummy smile botox and i h8 it… my nostrils are different yes but one saggs wayyy more now :( i hope its not permanent and my face muscle will remember how it worked b4 ..

[@MaliBrown88]

Love this video, hoping you can help with the Botox question… I feel like since using micro current very consistently my muscles are stronger and the Botox is less effective and wears off quicker, I love the plump and glow MC gives but it’s dramatically changed the way Botox is working? Is this a thing? Should we not use MC on Botox areas? What’s going on? Thank you 😊

[@Chris-hr3fc]

From what I understand MC is EMS which stimulates the muscles and shortens Botox efficacy.

[@KimCMuir]

Really love this video beautiful Penny! I just got my first Botox 3 weeks ago in my neck plytisma muscles. It looks better but still not happy with that area🤣😂😅

[@PENNSMITHSKINCARE]

Oh how exciting! Good to see your face Kim 😍

[@Barb6106]

Love your information..lots there. I’m a Botox fan, but love anything to extend! I wish you would explain how to fit argeriline into your routine.. where does the item go -before or after vitamin c? Retinol? Serum? Very confusing. Do you put product on before or after derm rolling? Complete help is appreciated!! Thanks very!!

[@markdolan9088]

Hello friend how are you doing? Hope you and your family doing well.
