[@JenniferMyers]

I want to address the comments asking if I've had Botox, fillers, etc. so people can have the truth. I've never gotten anything done to my face. I don't judge anybody if that's the route they choose, but I chose to use topical treatment because I want to be in control of my own face and, also, it's not desirable to me to inject my face with stuff. I like my face the way it is. As for my lack of facial expression, I'm still getting used to filming myself, so that's a part of it. And being an extreme introvert, coupled with my reserved nature, and the fact that in my day to day life I'm teaching meditation & yoga, as well as providing hospice care (these are my occupations), my face looks the way it looks. What I'm trying to say is that we wear our lives on our faces. Everyone does. And I've never been a bubbly, over-animated person, so it would come across extremely artificial if I faked a persona that isn't who I am. Additionally, tretinoin imparts a "pulling" (tightening/firming) effect on the skin, which, is both good and bad. Yes, it makes the complexion appear flawless, but there are definite downsides. I can't open my mouth too widely, or I start to peel immediately, for example. The skin, before it peels (mine peels every day), becomes very tight, and taut, and tightly pulled skin looks ultra smooth and shiny, and then it sort of "cracks" (mine does anyway), starts to flake, and then peels away. New fresh skin is then revealed. This is the mechanism of Retin-A. Ultimately, I take it as a compliment and a testament to the power of this product, if people simply "can't believe" I've achieved my skin with the use of topical cream alone. That people believe me or don't believe me doesn't change the truth, and beyond what I've said here, I can't do much else. It's not my concern to convince anyone of anything. But I did want to address this, since I see numerous comments asking, speculating, and accusing me of not being honest. I have no problem being clear and upfront. This is who I am. I must add, too, for those who have asked tactfully - thank you, by the way. Happy holidays everyone.

[@lotusflower4937]

I've been putting 100% pure castor oil IN my actual eyes every night when I go to sleep for two years and it has whitened and brightened the whites of my eyes. It has also reduced eye strain and chronic eye pain. It has also helped make my eyes naturally more moist over time. I used to have extremely veiny bloodshot eyes! Castor oil has made all the difference, it is a godsend! It has helped improve my eyes SO MUCH. ALSO, my eyelashes and eyebrows have become A LOT thicker, darker and longer over time aswell. Castor oil also has anti-ageing properties because it repairs and rejuvenates the cells in your skin. I LOVE castor oil so much! It's my miracle oil! Make sure the castor oil you use is: 1) Cold-pressed 2) Hexane-free 3) 100% pure and vegan!!! I use the 240ml Ecla Castor oil from Amazon! fyi.

I've been using Retin A for over 15 yrs. And currently use Altreno (Tretinoin) lotion, which was FDA approved in late 2018. Tretinoin is extremely overrated. And I agree with you it is also genes.

Haha another comment.. how short would you say your lashes were before using castor oil? And also, how did you slowly let your skin become accustomed to retin A? ..sorta a beginner here! Again Thankyou so much :)

[@JenniferMyers]

My lashes before were very average-neither particularly short nor long. They’re crazy long now, though. As for the tretinoin, I started very modestly applying it every third night for a couple of weeks, increasing to every other night, and eventually nightly (after about 8 weeks). Thereafter, I consistently applied it for 16 weeks.. then I started applying it around my eyes, but only once a week. I did that for months. Then I increased the around my eyes and mouth like that in the same way. Eventually the skin gets very comfortable (I was able to tell). It comes with consistency and patience. I’ve been using this product for 15 years ...definitely I wouldn’t advise anyone to go full force with it right away. If your skin reacts, always dial it back and start slowly again.

[@JenniferMyers]

My lashes were very average before; nothing like they are now. Castor oil has made them crazy long and dense. I acclimated my skin to tretinoin gradually by starting every other night until my skin could handle increasing the amount and frequency. Everyone's skin is different, so the timeline for treatment and application will vary individually based on many factors. I've done an update video where I discuss tips for beginners. You can find that video on my channel, as well as linked in the description box.

Hi Jennifer At what age do you recommend to start getting into anti aging treatments ?

[@JenniferMyers]

I have been caring for my skin since I was 12, and I started anti-aging (tretinoin) product at 21, 22 years old. My uncle is a dermatologist and he and my auntie were looking ahead for their niece (me) and wanted me to enjoy beautiful skin in my adulthood, so they got me started when I was a young adult. I have been cleansing properly and wearing daily SPF protection plus wide brimmed hats and gloves to protect from sun since I was 12 years old. Koreans are very forward thinking, and future oriented as a culture. In my opinion, preventative measures (like wearing sunscreen and sun protective clothing) -- it's never too early to start those habits. It's a major reason I've preserved my skin like I have; because I've been doing these habits pretty much all my life (with the exception of Retin-A which I started in my early 20s).

[@JenniferMyers]

When I started using Retin-A, my skin became so much worse before it got better. I had a face full of inflamed acne and sores. It was awful.

[@SoothingRelaxationSpa]

Your lashes are absolutely amazing! I'm impressed that you're helping people in hospice. You have a calm and kind nature. Thankyou for sharing your skincare routine. I just ordered the same castor oil that you use and I began using tretinoin .025% about a month ago. I hope my lashes and skin will someday look as nice as yours does without makeup 😊

[@sairanikhatimam]

Wow

[@Freffs]

The castor oil looks so lush on your face but when I think of applying it that way on myself I think a) what about milia? and b) won't it be sticky in bed? Thank you for this video!

[@bonbon5717]

Fredrika Jacobsson it gives me so many milia around my eyes 😭 and it burns but I really want to have longer lashes

[@Freffs]

@@bonbon5717 The way I've applied it in the past is by using a clean eyelash brush. You can either thoroughly clean an old mascara brush or buy a pack of them separately. You really shouldn't be irritating your eyes if you can help it.

[@JenniferMyers]

It gets everywhere yes. I’m used to it. I’ve never experienced milia. From castor oil or any other product.

[@Freffs]

@@JenniferMyers Right! Your skin must not be prone to getting them so easily. Thank you for your reply!

[@sable7114]

Your lashes or a beautiful, they sort of have a star shape. Does the castor oil burn your eyes? Now, since you mention that your face feels very tight with retin A and it cracks sometimes I think I might know what the problem is, even though you didn't ask me. First, you've got the hyaluronic acid which will boost the hydration in your face and you have the emollients but you're putting the Retin-A on too quickly, the face should dry first. And I think even though you have the emollients, and the hyaluronic acid you probably need to use the CeraVe p.m. over the entire face to seal all of that good moisture in after. In fact putting the moisturizer on first might help a lot, meaning apply it before the Retin-A. I don't know if you have dry or oily skin but your Retin-A looks like a gel which generally works better with oily skin and the cream form works better with dry skin. Just trying to help with the irritation and flaking and peeling that you still seem to be getting after 15 years. Your skin looks Flawless though! Merry Christmas!

Aside from genetics the reason her skin is so flawless is that she has not damaged her moisture barrier. Exfoliating physical or chemical can disrupt the skins moisture barrier. It's best to start low and slow and work your way up as she stated

[@Daydreamerr13]

So how do I get my skin accustomed to the retin a?

[@JenniferMyers]

Apply once per week just starting out, very judiciously. And see how your skin reacts, first. Then after a couple of weeks you may increase to every third night, and eventually every other night, then nightly. But your skin will "tell" you...I was constantly assessing the state of my skin and gauging what it could (or could not) handle, and I would act accordingly. Since everyone's skin is different, that's they best advice I can give.

[@JenniferMyers]

My uncle's a dermatologist. So he writes my prescription. I still have to pay for the product (unfortunately lol) and I have it filled at whichever pharmacy is cheapest in my area. It usually costs around $110 a tube, which lasts me about 16 months, give or take.

[@linarafailova6066]

Jennifer Myers I really recommend you to order tretinoin from alldaychemist.com( I learned about this website via reddit skincareaddiction group),it takes around 2 weeks to ship to the States and costs 20-35 $ for 3 tubes, 1 tube is 7-10 $.If I’m not mistaken shipping is about 15$.

[@lt7378]

Thank you for your video. Everyone says Retin A is irritating and for beginners. That’s not been my experience. I’ve been prescribed .05% Trentinion for the first time a few months ago, and I squirt out probably about 2-3x the amount you used all over my face about 3x a week.. I’ve had no irritation or dryness at all. I’m not sure what’s going on my skin on a cellular level. I hope it’s working . I’m so confused at why this has not been others’ experience? I recently asked the dermatologist for a Rx for the next strength up. I’ll see if it does anything.

[@lebooshdiaries]

Jennifer, have been a silently watching you and today i just want to say how beautifully long your eye lashes are. I didn't know you can put castor oil straight onto face and lashes. I always thought we need to dillute it with other oil so that it's not so thick. I once bought castor oil and it was so hard to spread. Ended up not using it much. Thank you for inspiring me to start tretinoin. I have been using retinol, retinaldehyde and also backuchiol for many years (not all at the same time) so when I started tretinoin, my skin's kinda ok with it. No redness, no sensitivity, all good so far.

[@helgarodrigues8317]

One question: did you already born with long lashes or that is all due to castor oil?

[@JenniferMyers]

Hi and welcome to you, Astha. I have been massaging my entire eye area (sides, underneath, and above my brows) with castor oil for the past 7+ years. It has kept my skin smooth and supple and very nice. Thank you.

[@neesharai9838]

You're so real. Can you do a video on how to get rid of dark circles ?

[@akhiker01]

I recently started use Tretinoin and i double cleanse at end of the day to remove any sunscreen or eye makeup. I put my moisturizer on while skin is damp and wait till later when face is nice and dry to add the 0.05% tretinoin cream before bed. Sometimes when that’s all dry I’ll add a tab of Vaseline or healing ointment around eyes lips and nostril area . I’m up to 3 times a week .

[@rosemary5005]

I do my chest, shoulders, upper arms and neck too! Using retinol and other goodies like niacinamide and allantoin, placental protein, peptides and ceramides, arginine and vitamin c, etc these all benefit my skin on those areas too.Besides actives I also loves to treat my skin with humectants like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate/hyaluronic acid or hydrolyzed collagen. I’ve done this for a few years now and boy, am I smooth! I’m actually very proud as well as grateful for my skins texture and appearance. I definitely have both worked for this but I also have some sort of genetic advantage. I haven’t always been that good to my body; I have struggled with eating disorders since I was a child and I also am addicted to opiates and have been all my life. Though I’m not abusing anymore I do have been prescribed methadone as a lifelong medication for my addiction. So when you know that, looking as fresh and smooth and plump as I do at the age of forty two, forty three - that’s kinda amazing. I’m living my best skin life as a middle aged woman ✨😌✨ But on the other hand, I think we all have histories and life journeys that should be taken in consideration, and when we do that, we see that we are absolutely amazing and life in itself is a wonderful thing. Take care people and live your best life, every day! 🌸🦋💗 I just started massaging my castor oil, that I use for my hair, into my lower eyelashes and eyebrows. My upper eyelashes have lash extensions so right now there’s not much that I can do. This is going to be interesting. I’m going to buy another bottle of castor oil as soon as possible, though, because the oil that I use for my hair isn’t just pure castor oil but it has fragrance and whatnot in it. So in a week or a few days I’ll have a pure castor oil for my lashes and under eye.

[@Useruseruseruser77893]

I love how you stay faithful to your skin routine and products that you use. You are very beautiful and your lashes are amazing! I mean, I really haven't saw more beautiful lashes in anyone. I'm sure, it must be genetics first, but if castor oil does half a job, I must try myself. I'm 49 and I am into healthy lifestyle myself, but I just recently started using retinol serum. When my skin will adapt to it, later I want to try your routine as well. You are such an inspiration. Love from Greece. ❤

[@CrystalStackhouse]

Hey I apply moisturizer all over my face while damp, then wait for it to dry and then apply tretinoin. I found this reduces all the irritation however I’m worried it reduces its efficacy. I got this tip from Dr. Dray here on KZbin.

[@coolkenny13]

The doc told me to mix tretinoin and moisturizer together. This helps. I can see the peeling happening.

[@aishaharrison3322]

Thanks! What’s your routine in the morning? Do you do the same thing?

[@coolkenny13]

@@aishaharrison3322 I actually went to the dermat and got the right advice so I maybe able to help with any of your queries. Tretinoin is great at night as your skin isn't exposed to dust or pollution and the skin is relaxed. Since you're using tretinoin it is extremely important to use sunscreen (even if your indoors and not exposed to the sun). You may Google the importance of using sunscreen while on tretinoin. Mix an equal amount of tretinoin and moisturizer at night. I wash my face with face wash that has glycolic acid in it. That helps with faster peeling as it sheds the dead skin cells and promotes new skin growth and makes your scars lighter. I use that at morning and night. And for me in the morning it's purely using sunscreen till evening 8pm. And then again facewash followed up tretoin and moisturizer.

[@JenniferMyers]

Dotting is a great idea, and start with just once applied at night - once per week. Then see how your skin reacts after a couple of weeks doing that. IF you seem okay, you can increase to every third night, and then eventually every other night and so on. Gauge by your skin. That's what I did. I had to learn the hard way in my treatment because I went a little gung ho (overboard) and it wasn't pretty!

I saw your Bone Broth video, which I will definitely be doing after all this has come to pass, but would Vitamin E replace Retin A? I am using Vitamin E before I go to sleep, anything non expensive I can start using, or anything that you recommend that can help and might not be prescribed by a doctor? Thanks!:)
