MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE | OVER 40 SKIN | AGING GRACEFULLY

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I also meant to stress in this video that I am very high maintenance when it comes to my skin care. I am not saying everyone needs all these steps. If you are a minimalist, I recommend a good cleanser, vitamin c, and spf and you are good to go!! ❤️

[@susanbowman3865]

YAYYY! I’m taking notes so I can augment my current skin care routine. Your skin is like glass, it’s so pretty! 💖✨

What a lovely routine! I've been wanting to try the Isdin sunscreen because it's supposed to contain DNA repair enzymes.

Thank you Debbie! Yes, I think it's especially great if you suffer from hyperpigmentation.

Another excellent video from Mandy, MUA extraordinaire. Thank you. I started watching this video when I said to myself "but Mandy, I was a sun worshipper from my teenage years into my thirties". Of course, you addressed people like me a moment later. You always give great advice. I'm going to return the favour ... please hear me out, you won't regret it. I'm thinking you might really appreciate this advice because I know you and your husband are into trying to eat healthy foods and get proper regular exercise. First, my background: I'm a 64 year old retired scientist. Memory loss runs in my family. I've been getting memory tests yearly. One year ago my memory score was all the way down to 40% of what it should be. I was about to lose my driver's license. Then I discovered Dr. Sten Ekberg (BTW ... I have no affiliation with Dr. Ekberg and he is selling nothing, just providing advice). I watched his KZbin video on "Top 10 cooking oils". It's a short half hour video, but it took me over three hours to get through because I kept looking up and verifying the chemistry and biology that he was quoting. This doctor has human health and nutrition science figured out better than anyone I have ever read. After following Dr Ekberg's advice on diet, and most importantly his advice on intermittent fasting, my memory test jumped up to 80% of what it should be. That was three months ago. I'm pretty sure my next memory test will be 100%. My body has also dramatically changed. I've always been athletic but I had gained maybe 5-10 pounds of belly fat during the pandemic. My new diet, and daily intermittent fasting, melted that fat away in less than a month. I'm now ripped again. I have a well defined six pack and you can see my muscles rip along the sides of my rib cage as well. When playing tennis, I can run circles around the three men I play tennis with (all three men are in shape and in their early 40's). Anyway, I hope you check Dr Ekberg out. Just search KZbin for "Sten Ekberg top 10 cooking oils". Thanks again Mandy. I love you and appreciate what you do. Peace, Calvin. **NOTE: Fasting fixed my memory by allowing "autophagy" to happen in my gut biome (the trillions of bacteria in my gut) and the connected biome in my brain. This is all well explained in his videos on intermittent fasting.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thanks so much Calvin! I have hypothyroidism, and unfortunately, fasting isn't for me. I have tried it in the past, and it put a lot of strain on my thyroid. My numbers started getting askew and when I stopped, they went back to normal. I know it's amazing for so many people though!

[@environmentalcanadian2338]

The Dr Ceuracle and Pyunkang yul are holy grails for me. They are serious game changers! I’ve been using the Pyunkang yul for much longer and I decided to try a week without it??

[@brendaf1033]

wonderful video. Thank you! The best sunscreen is the one you will use everyday. As a teenager (I'm 70), we mixed baby oil with iodine, slathered it on and baked in the sun. What an idiot! For the last 8 years there is not a day that I don't wear sunscreen. Even if I'm in the house all day, I still wear it. It is never too late to start wearing sunscreen. Now I have dermatologists notice immediately that I wear sunscreen every day. It makes a big difference in the aging and health of your skin. I wish Alastin made a lighter tint in the Hydratint. It is too dark for me but it is such a nice one. I've been using the DRMTLGY Physical Tinted Moisturizer for about a month and have really liked and it plays well with my makeup. Again, great video.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Amen! It's never too late to start and have it do positive things for your skin. I know a lot of people have complained to Alastin about having different tints. I am really hoping they are working on that.

[@jamiesimpson5043]

I have such a love/hate relationship with dermsplaning. I love the immediate results but more often than not I will have bumps or breakouts in a few days no matter what method or products I use before and after. I always say I’m just going to stop trying but I always go back!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I used to have that happen to me too when I had in office dermaplaning. I found that quitting acids/retinoids a couple days beforehand really helped. I can use them any time around just shaving my face at home and have no issues, but it really helped when I went in office.

[@iwillstom]

@@MandyDavisMUA I do try to limit retinoids around it but I’m sure I don’t always keep the best track. I don’t have a set schedule for dermaplaning. It usually happens at random when I start to see my mustache coming in too hard. 😂

I will definitely put that on my list. As far as SPF, my 13 year old wears the Alastin I spoke of in this video, and my 10 year old...who is the picky one...finally found a fave in the Elta MD UV Sport SPF 50. She really hates a tint, and likes how this dries down.

[@tarski7420]

Thanks Mandy, great video! I enjoy all your videos on makeup and skincare. I especially appreciate that you explain reasons behind using a product and what it can do for your skin - we all have different needs so that’s super helpful. When you mentioned Allies of Skin, it made me want to share with you how much I LOVE their Retinal & Peptides Repair Night Cream (it has retinaldehyde). It is soooo gentle, I have sensitive skin and it doesn’t irritate it at all. What do you think of facial oils, and where would they fit in to the skincare routine? Thanks for all your tips :)

[@MandyDavisMUA]

You are so welcome! Oh interesting. I love my Medik8 retinal, but I am always up for trying something new. I may have to look into that one next. Thanks so much! I love a good facial oil, and use it as my last step at night to lock in everything and add more moisture.

Have you tried the Nuface? If so what’s your opinion on it vs the bio lifting tool? I fell for the sale on Madonna’s face roller when it first came out and I like it but it’s too big to do all parts of the face. I was thinking of getting the new smaller specialty device by Nuface. Thx Mandy!

Do you suggest sleeping with eye masks/patches on or do you suggest using them as suggested on the package?

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I personally wouldn't do it. I sleep all over the place and they would wrinkle and crinkle. I think they are best used in the morning or before makeup. :)

[@brookeallisonsf5193]

Omgosh, as always I live for your skincare routine videos!! This was so fab!! The cryo roller sounds amazing! I’ve been getting puffy under my eyes in the am lately and need something that works. I used to have a roller similar to that but found I didn’t use it because I was too lazy in the mornings to go get it from the freezer, lol. Also, the one I had was quite large and wouldn’t easily go closely under my eyes where I needed it. Do you keep yours in the freezer? Also, is it small enough to go closely under the eye area? I’ve also been wanting to try the Sente dermal cream!! I need to just bite the bullet and get that! Lastly, I’ve been using the Truth trifecta and I love it! I got the small size, like you had previously recommended, and I’ve been using it for a month and barely put a dent in it. Merry Christmas to you and your family!! 😘😘😘

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you Brooke! I don't keep mine in the freezer. I am like you and wouldn't go grab it an use it if I stored it there. It stays super cold stored at room temp. It's larger for sure, but I can still use it under my eyes. And yay for the Truth Treatments! The products last FOREVER!

[@southerncentralrain]

Ladies that do not shave their faces are truly missing out! It makes a HUGE difference! I’ve been shaving my face for years also, and no it doesn’t grow back thicker or darker. Lol.

Hi Mandy

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I asked this of neogenesis ages ago and this is their response. So in answer to your question, no…they are not from babies or in vitro. Hey Mandy, Great question! The stem cell released molecules in NeoGenesis products are sourced from adult, human tissue donations (a process highly regulated by the FDA) using skin-resident stem cells. That simply means we use the full complement of molecules whose natural job in nature is to repair our skin throughout our lives. This is a much safer, natural solution to healing + repairing the skin versus using stem cells from bone marrow, fetal tissue, etc. In fact, the use of bone marrow stem cells/growth factors for prolonged periods of time has proven to be pro-aging and even leading to an over proliferation of cells which could lead to cancer. We hope this helps answer your question, please let us know if you have any more! 🤍

[@jessicaharold1842]

Mandy, what would you suggest to use in place of a stem cell serum if you aren’t comfortable with it?

[@mo.0904]

Hey! Great video! I’m 31 and trying to take care of my skin. I’m interested in the vitamin c but I’m wondering if you think the Hyaluronic Mineral Hydrator is necessary? Also I know you’ve said you’ve used a lot of razors but have you used tinkle off amazon? I’ve tried many and that’s by far my favorite. I’ve never cut myself 🤍

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Hey! No, I think you could totally just use the SPF. It's just extra hydration. I do think a mist is necessary though for sure with this particular vitamin c. I have tried that one from Amazon, and I felt like I didn't get the closest shave for some reason. I am sure I was doing it wrong. LOL
