[@akezia8829]

I respect you so much for declining a coupon code. You're such a reliable source for me when it comes to skin care and makeup. I'm just so fed up with all these fake sponsored videos for garbage products.

[@akezia8829]

And I might be biased because I'm an Aveda graduate.. but I really love the Botanical Kinetics eye cream. It's the only kind I've ever used that doesn't compromise my makeup application, helps diminish the dryness from setting concealer, and doesn't effect my eyes or contacts. I agree that some eye creams are garbage and do nothing. But I have to say, I really enjoy the aveda. Check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised.

[@thirtywhackstdd]

A K I agree completely, she's the only beauty guru I truly trust!

[@michellerhodes5477]

My skincare routine is pretty ridiculous but I absolutely love that time. The kids and husband are in bed and I love taking that time out for myself. Like you said, once you start seeing results, it becomes even more motivating. I have severe sun damage and am a melanoma survivor. After being diagnosed with melanoma, I became more concerned with taking care of my skin. It's been sooooo worth the time and financial investment.

[@sarahlauer4397]

Michelle Rhodes glad you are still with us and taking time to care for yourself :) wishing you good luck and the best health!

[@suez7615]

I am dying my hair and then caring for my skin. I got this new wrinkle preventing sheet mask, i was saving it for a special occasion. What a better occasion that NYE/Stephanie Nicole's night time skin care? You inspire me! Like seriously, YOU are the reason I became more serious about my skin care. I am obsessed with jojoba oil now after your facial oil video, i went and researched like a crazy person. Oh, btw, the sheet mask is in the shape of a cat. it's amazing.

[@suez7615]

SLaaayyy GIRLSlayy Thank you sooo much!

[@Tarababyz]

I forgot I was going to let you know that 'the rag company' makes those cloths you love and you can buy them wholesale from their site, i bought 35 for like 55 bucks, n then i loved those so much i bought larger face drying towels as well, saved major coin :D ... Now Back to the vid :D

[@MsStephNic]

Tarababyz ooooo thank you! I bought 7 packs from Amazon 😑 dumb Stef! Lol happy you like them too. They are the best. I even pack them for when I travel 😂

[@MsStephNic]

Tarababyz and PS I hope you have a kick ass 2017 Tara ❤

[@blondesided3498]

Tarababyz and Stephanie Nicole- my two favorite YT'rs!

[@lauraredd614]

Tarababyz thank you! I have 10 from Amazon $40! And just purchased 5 more $20! As soon as I read this I went to that website and purchased 25 $50! I will be returning the 5 I just purchased as soon as they come in the mail! Thank you thank you

[@terrance7220]

Seriously, you two are my favorite beauty channels!

[@michellemacco]

THANK YOU💕 For stating that FACT about Coconut OIL🙌🏽

[@MsStephNic]

[@themooniebella5781]

Michelle Macco oh gosh I feel the same! I literally stopped and was screaming Yes yes! also me: looked around with streched arms to show to my invisible audience that this is what I'm talking about hahaha xxx

[@lindababb7971]

I want you to know How Much I appreciate all the hard work that you put in on all your vids.. I regret not taking my skin care seriously back in the day. Please all you girls & guys do take this information Stephanie has given us.. Being 61 yrs old, every day I can see the damage I have done,, by sun, not cleaning my face properly, etc. Just my elderly advise..😎

How are you not at 1m yet? You're awesome

[@doeeyedfaun4020]

Melinated Beauty IKR! I guess people are scared to hear the truth.

[@lisamiddleton3475]

Melinated Beauty I wonder the same thing! She's no bs, super knowledgeable and I really feel she is to be trusted unlike so many others.

[@Hughjasslol1]

Melinated Beauty subscriber count doesn't really matter. There are tons of ppl with millions of subscribers but nowhere close the amount of views

[@carleigh2161]

Hugh Jass exactly! It's about active subscribers, not just having a high number

[@MG-yp3qq]

Your reviews are the most trustworthy of the KZbin community. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MsStephNic]

[@0TashieLeigh0]

So far you've motivated my purchases of the P50 1970, Good Genes, Belif True Cream, Shiseido Cottons, Caudalie Grape Water, Drunk E Vitamin C, Drunk E Glycolic and I'm slowly racking up for the Vitner's, Luna and Juno. I have dry-normal skin, just turned 30 and trying to get a head start on anti aging. Your insight and experience have made skincare considerably less overwhelming. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@kagitsune]

So, my dermatologists have *never* told me that I had to wait 30 minutes after washing my face before using tretinoin/retinoids... That might explain why I had so much irritation and so little success with them. Wow. (luckily, regular retinol use seems to be working a lot better for me)

[@sandrar6670]

Naomi PR your pharmacist is also supposed to tell you this. You're right they don't emphasize it. They probably told me and I didn't pay attention. I've been using prescription Retin A for 27 years. When I switched to Renova because it was more gentle and I had to pay $250 for it, I definitely follow the rules and wash my face 30 min before I apply my retin A. I don't use retin A as often as I used to. Most spas won't do any treatments on you if you use retin A. I stop it for ten days prior to my hydrafacial. I alternate using the Kate Somerville dermal quench liquid lift with retinol.

[@msl5131]

Just keep in mind that many will also tell you to use moisturizer immediately after or even mix it together before putting on your face for less irritation. You really have to work your way up very slowly to using nightly tretinoin. You start out just ONE day/wk for awhile! Watch Hot & Flashy for a great Retin A video.

[@KMT-jb5mv]

You have to make sure that your skin is completely dry!

[@jennpeters8]

I have to buffer with a light cream before the retin a...or else I look like I've had a chemical peel, and then red sore patches develop. So light cream before and rosehip oil about an hour after seems to work beautifully for me.

[@ala4935]

Naomi PR i've been using trentinoin for close to two years and i've always waited half hour, but i got tons of irritation at first. i read that this happens to most people so i powdered through and it was so worth it, because it's the only thing that ever worked.

[@TheLoveWithYing]

I always watch your videos because you are so truthful about your opinions. I only realized today that to do this, you will sacrifice your views by not recommending and liking an endless amount of makeup and skincares. I just want to say that I will always watch your videos and I believe you have much more influential power and I trust your reviews

[@Shineldove]

I jam to your intro every time. It's the best!

[@SkipDent]

lmfao "normally I bring this down my neck and my chest.. but it's not that kind of video" 😂😂

[@sattyboo96]

So glad you mentioned the rating on Coconut oil, i was using it months ago to remove makeup followed up with normal cleansing but wondered why i kept breaking out..once i stopped the coconut oil my skin cleared up! Im 26 and info anti aging skin care and oils for dry sensitive skin, this was helpful a bit!

[@brookeannie6132]

Hey Stephanie I just wanted to put it out there that I think your a really cool ass person. Anytime I'm considering purchasing a product I trust your reviews over anyone else's. Your beautiful inside AND out and I hope you have an amazing New Year!! 😘

[@MsStephNic]

Brooke Annie why thank you 😘 I appreciate your support. I hope you have a fantastic New Year! ❤

[@Kristen10-22]

Brooke Annie DITTO THAT MY FRIEND!!!!! IVE LOVED U SINCE YOU STARTED! LOVE YA GIRL!

[@DigoronKavkaz]

You are a wealth of knowledge, so raw, so mellow, I just love listening to you

[@courtneysilbs4446]

Best way to end the year is watching you! Happy 2017! PS- I've used Obagi since 2013 and my skin has has never been better! I won't use anything else (:

[@MsStephNic]

Thank you so much! HNY beautiful

[@dilline2233]

Stephanie Nicole Hope you have a great 2017! ❤

[@breadstal]

I love how informed you are about each step and the products you use👌

[@VivienneGucwa]

Love how thorough you are with your videos. My favorite channel!

[@MsStephNic]

Vivienne Gucwa thanks Vivienne. What a beautiful name ❤

[@blondesided3498]

Yay! A new video from Stephanie Nicole- what a great way to start the New Year. Thanks for sharing your extensive skincare knowledge- it's truly helped me to achieve my best skin. I'm 41 and my skin has never looked better 👍🏼

[@karin5587]

You're the reason I take care of my face now Thanks Stephanie Nicole

[@jamiea4350]

I have incorporated some of your routine and found my own products to fit my budget and I couldn't be happier! My surface congestion disappeared and my fine lines and wrinkles have improved so much! I can't thank you enough!! I have never seen such drastic improvement in my skin before.

[@chelseaaf533]

I love my clairisonic too. I had really bad acne but just after 2 weeks of using it and getting past the skin purging phase, my skin looked the best it's looked in years! It is so worth the money.

[@jennpipp26]

Hey Stephanie! My husband bought me the Vintners Daughter for my birthday because he heard me talking about the interview you did. I am 38 with dry skin and couldn't find anything that really worked as far as bringing back the radiant glow of my youth. Thank you for bringing this amazing product to light as these results were immediately noticed by myself and EVERYONE around me! ❤❤

[@cheryl8466]

Your videos are always So helpful! Happy New year!

[@alyssamarie54]

I've been binge watching your skincare videos and I have to say I really appreciate your approach! You don't promote gimmicks and everything you use has a purpose. Thanks for all of the helpful info

[@bluegauloises_xo6638]

I felt personally addressed when you said "20 years old and oily" because I'm exactly that 😂

[@ladie0079]

bluegauloises_xo me too! I laughed.

[@kristenluzania7067]

bluegauloises_xo ugh me AF!@

[@stephanietmua]

bluegauloises_xo same but imma watch this anyways cause I love her

[@Feridia]

im turning 20 in september, and also have oily skin xD. But I still watch bc I love her videos :)

[@brileycasanova.]

SAME, and in a good way :)

[@lostgonz]

Thank you so much for making such honest and thorough videos. You're amazing for giving your followers what they want to see instead of just pumping out crap ads for money on top of having a career, maintaining important relationships, and living your life. You're an inspiration to us all. Happy new year! Be safe everyone

[@meganmcdonnell]

I would love to watch a conversation between Steph and Sunday Riley in which they nerd-out about skin care. Thanks for another great video!

[@liseann9163]

I can relate to you so much. - I grew up in the Air Force, lived and went to school in AZ, hustled work in NYC for 15+ years, currently in the Berkshires, total geek and am now obsessed with skincare and makeup. So happy I found your channel, your such a positive role model. Thanks for sharing. Liseann

[@voodoochild7533]

I got a good giggle at the "this is not that kind of video" part. 😄

[@b2h316]

Your videos are so amazing. The amount of detail and care that you put into making sure people are properly educated is just incredible. You have made such a difference to my skin, I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada, last week we were colder than the North Pole... I have always had horrifically dry skin and no moisturizer has ever worked for me. With a climate this harsh and dry, I was fighting a losing battle. After watching your videos I completely overhauled my skincare routine, bringing in moisturizing toners and oils and serums and seriously my skin has never looked better. Thank you thank you thank you

[@sherryg1838]

I've found a similar washcloth at Walmart and the DollarTree. Probably not the same quality, but it works well for me. I can't use your products, being on a budget and having sensitive, oily, breakout prone skin (at age 57 no less). However, I love hearing the science behind the skin care. You do a great job explaining how the skincare works. Your skin looks wonderful. Enjoyed the video.

[@sararobbins7276]

You're a lot younger than me (I'm 58) but I've really enjoyed your videos. I appreciate your knowledge of skincare and good health and not just talking @ products. I''m undergoing chemo and my skin has changed from oily to really dry so I've been in search of new products. Thank you so much for your detailed and organized videos and comments. Know you are making a difference in other people's lives.

[@KaylaTollK]

[@judiejaz]

Hi Kayla! SO you use the products after you apply the prescribed ones? I was just prescribed some creams for my rosacea and wasn't sure if I can use anything else after.

[@BriannaZani]

I really love how genuine you are, it's awesome to know there's at least one guru making videos saying what she believes instead of what her sponsors want her to say.

[@kristineolsen477]

Thank you again for another informative video. I REALLY appreciate all that you do to pass on this valuable information. Happy New Year to you and yours! your friend, Kristine

[@elissaalimonte2892]

Kristine Olsen I'm super excited about that as well!!!

[@PhoebeHB]

I could listen to you talk for hours. You seem to be one of the few "beauty youtubers" who actually knows what they're talking about and I bloody love that.

[@lanternaBGD]

Informative as usual! Thanks Steph! Happy New Year!

[@MsStephNic]

Billy M HNY! ❤

[@harmonyduffy2155]

I'm a licensed esti and I completely agree with exfoliating first then add serum/oil/treatment. I always find it allows for greater absorption. Love watching this and hearing your opinion(an actual educational opinion) on all the different skincare products with the ingredients.

[@KJ-qq1wr]

Your reviews are so helpful. The information is sound and it's awesome you cite several sources. I've been using Good Genes and Juno for almost a year and I am in L😍ve. Please keep bringing content. It is appreciated 👏🏾

[@debbyportillo5395]

My skin has been acting weird for the last 5 years. I used to be combination oily but now it's super dry with an oily nose. Good Genes has been my absolute favorite new product of 2016, it exfoliates without drying me out, even my husband uses it now and he has oily skin!! Thank you for the effort you put in your videos, they are helpful and informative. Your channel is wonderful!

[@dilline2233]

Best way to end 2016! ❤❤❤

[@Patrick12437]

Your videos are wonderful! I'm a nurse practitioner and truly appreciate the research you put into your reviews and love that you tell us why and how things work. Thank you!

[@AustinTexas6]

I gotta say in my opinion you look way better without makeup. Very soft and radiant.

[@ewelinka42098]

She is a fox

[@shantialexandrasanchez1853]

Yup! I tried the coconut oil to take off my makeup and I had cystic acne for months!!! Took me pretty much the next 6 months a strict skincare regimen to eradicate the effects of the coconut oil. I have super prone acne skin.

[@camilat8268]

stephanie could be talking about a pencil for 3 hours and it'd be the most interesting thing ever!! this made me wanna look more into skincare I need to find someone with combination skin

[@CassandraEremic]

Hands down my go-to KZbinr for reviews! You can tell how much effort and detail you put into your videos, and it's seriously greatly appreciated!

[@Senryph]

I have the opposite of your skin, I'm very oily and 19, but I always love seeing what other people do with their skin.

[@graycandycane35]

I hope this comment doesn't come across as being rude but you are one of the only KZbinrs that I follow that when you take your makeup off you look absolutely gorgeous. It's sometimes hard to watch nighttime routines from major youtubers.

[@TheKelJacob]

Wow, Stephanie. I remember when you were at about 10k subs & it wasn't that long ago! Congrats on your growth & continued non-BS attitude. 😊

[@Ieat2much]

TheKelJacob omg I know! I noticed the 300k+ subs and I am so happy. She is the best. May your numbers rise Stephanie.:)

[@makeupchey1865]

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am 31 years old and decided I really need to crack down on my skin care. Since we are close in age and skin type, I am planning on purchasing quite a few of these items. It's been so helpful because I had no clue where to start. Your skin is looking amazing. Thank you thank you!

[@fitfatbrittrny]

I read somewhere where Koreans said Americans spend money on expensive purses and clothes and they spend money on skin care. I have changed my priority of what I spend my money on a.k.a skin care!

[@renemason22]

Stephanie Nicole I love your channel. I've been in the cosmetics biz for 15 years & you're knowledge is so on point plus you explain it in a way that anyone can understand. I use most of the same products you use and pretty much agree with you & really appreciate your reviews.

[@SartriLLe]

Why Oh Why must skincare be so expensive?! I do believe though that we should invest in our skin. I am 33 now a d try to do the best I can. I am a student, mom, and broke but I make what I have work! Love your videos Steph! xx

[@AmiiLovesHerself]

Sarah Gwin check out the ordinary. their products are top notch but very affordable!

[@esthera1020]

Sarah Gwin you should look into the skincare line The Ordinary. High end quality skincare at low end prices

[@AmiiLovesHerself]

I've heard great things about the ordinary but are the products suitable for young skin? I'm 19 years old and have dry skin

[@MsStephNic]

Sarah Gwin a mom & student is way better than skincare ❤ don't fret. There are products at every budget. The goals remain the same, the products can change. You want to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturizer & protect. Pixie Glow Tonic is nice from Target, La Roche Posay makes some nice stuff, just check ingredients & look up reviews ❤ kick ass in school 🙌🏻

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

Stephanie, i liked you before that comment, now i love you for it. You are a very beautiful human, you are loved. Happy New Year.

[@hspaniel99]

I really enjoy the content you produce, and the honest opinions. I am a traveling nurse and got the chance to work in San Francisco and in and around the bay area for about a year. San Francisco is by far my favorite place next to Anchorage Alaska. Living there and experiencing the diversity of that city is such a privilege. Love Ya girl.

[@samsula123]

You are my favorite KZbinr. Ive learned a ton from your videos. Thank you for what you do!

[@pixelscanon]

Your skin looks incredible from when you first did a skincare video over a year ago. I fully trust everything you say about Skincare. You have helped me SO much. Thank You for this updated PM version. The Obagi and Acids really change appearance, so amazing.

[@drkellyncsu]

I need to find a Stephanie Nicole with severely dehydrated skin and a compromised acid mantle. I really appreciate how you explain everything, provide alternatives and get into WHY you like it... I need to find a derm... tried one here (recently moved) and she gave me expired samples of Cetaphil and no advice... sigh.

[@lesaherndon7393]

drkellyncsu WTH? I had a derm use a block of dry ice on my face then give me 3 different prescriptions I had no use for. No explanations. I went in because I kept getting hives and he gave me dry ice, antibiotics and steroids. I had an auto immune disorder and allergies, not an infection. But, that debacle lead me to be my own doctor so I guess I should thank him for being such a quack. 😁

[@lisamiddleton3475]

drkellyncsu That's so sad. Unfortunately judy because somebody has an MD doesn't mean they really understand newer science and products very well. They don't get trained in products: they are trained on the body and pharmaceuticals. I laugh and people who won't do anything without the doctors recommendation, I had a Spine Specialist tell me for 5 years I had arthritis in my neck. Then I see a spine surgeon who finally diagnosed my with Spinal Stenosis! Huge difference and finally got treatment. There's a reason why doctors "practice" medicine. Look for a great esthetician. I have one who just isn't licensed by the state board of cosmetology but she has her Masters and has done so much additional education. I'd trust her before my derm at Kaiser who's never helped me.

[@amberc.2137]

Lisa Locke This is the absolute truth. I have had the worst experience with people who are MD's. The M.D. doesn't mean they are highly educated in all areas of healthcare nor does it mean they'll care enough to take the time to make a correct diagnosis. Always be your own advocate & educate yourself the best you can. Hope you are feeling better, spine pain is not pleasant!

[@coleo1356]

Caroline says the SAME THING about swapping the order of good genes and oil. You guys are my skin mentors.

[@themooniebella5781]

Aaww I was finally able to watch the video! Loved it loved it loved it! Stephanie if you were to talk about poo all day I would still listen to it! haha thank you for covering so many fields of skincare! it is such a joy to watch and suck all the information I honestly always sit down with a paper and a pen when you upload a educational video. Thank you for sharing all your research and knowledge! and please don't forget there are way more people who absolutely adore you than the filfthy ones! Sending lots of love to you and your family I hope everyone is in good health! and of course Happy New Year!!

[@isadorvorpahl2243]

You've seriously helped to jump start me toward real skin health...I'm 37 and my skin is likely the most radiant it has been since prior to my teenage acne from hell phase and inclusive of the apathetic surrender to never have good skin disposition I've taken until very recently. So, thank you for translating the very confusing world of skincare in such an accessible forum!

[@gaborama8640]

Really hoping to see a best/worst of 2016 video from you!!!!!!!!!

[@lisamiddleton3475]

I have under eyes as you do. I didn't even realize you had fillers. Makes me realize that may be what I decide to do. I'm turning 44 this week and for the last few months being trying everything to improve that sunken in look. I've been Dermarolling to improve collagen and it's slowly improving. I use my Ultrasonic LED tool to help product penetrate and handle my issues. I also high frequency. My under eyes look a lot better but I'm worried over time they will get worse as I age. So fillers may be in my future. I'm so thankful for all you've taught me. Between you, Caroline Hirons and my amazing esthetician I think I have amazing resources for great educated information. I'm all about the ingredients and steering clear of harmful chemicals. Thank you for all you do! ❤

Glycolic acid broke me out af, but I sticked to it, and now my skin is amazing. Happy new year... ❤🎉🎉

[@Shell.29]

How long before your skin got better and not worse ? I'd struggle to stick to something that breaks me out. Thank you!

[@naukana2]

Ivana Ivana I had the same experience but didn't stick to it because I was scared. How long did it take for your skin to be balanced?

[@ipenky]

Artist N Soul It took a month before my skin balanced. You should really stick to it, it pays off.

[@missnance12]

Same experience when I first used Paula's choice BHA. It was my first chemical exfoliation ever (used st ives before that LOL). I stuck through the purging process and ever since, I never experience break outs (not even during my period).

[@meganviews3797]

I love your videos, Steph! You've really inspired me and helped me achieve better skin while having a better understanding of what my products do. I'm 19 and follow multiple steps that you introduced me to, supplementing a few of the pricier products with something more affordable for me. I grew up struggling with horrible Eczema and with these steps, along with an ointment that I get from my dermatologist I'm finally achieving skin that I feel comfortable in, metaphorically and literally. Your videos slay my life, I love how informative you are. Keep up the amazing work! You're an inspiration.

[@duchessofdissent5728]

The Belief moisturizer is amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@6ohthejoyy]

I just started taking my skincare seriously and once I started seeing results the nightly routine became something I look forward to (just like you said). It's definitely nice quiet time before bed and I truly enjoy it. Thank you for making this video! It was so helpful and so packed with information. Ill probably watch it again to make sure I didn't miss anything.

[@runawaycatfound]

Legit was making Vegan Tamales last night, when I got a notification that this was up and I was so joyful. Best way to end 2016. I adore what you do so ardently.

[@MsStephNic]

Veganhitchhiker recipe! Recipe! Recipe...please 😬 thank you very much ❤

[@InGlittrasWorld]

Your skin looks amazing. You are so beautiful. I am also a skincare junkie and I still learn a lot from your videos and I love your approach towards skincare and make-up. You go the extra mile which I am to lazy to do (or do not have knowledge about). Never stop making videos, you are needed on YT, a breath of fresh air.

[@MelissaQ]

Awesome in depth steps! Thanks for this! Wanna try the DHC toner! I love their pre-cleanse deep cleansing oil!

[@MsStephNic]

MelissaQ I like that cleansing oil too ❤

[@sahirarodriguez9782]

MelissaQ i absolutely LOVEEE the cleaning oil. The lotion also. 😉

[@fennfie]

you can see the dedication paying off here coz girl you definitely don't look a day over 25. Skin is plump, taut and radiant. I believe in a proper regime of skincare that is adhered to daily. Proof is in this video.

[@RupaPSA]

yesssssss!!!! I always njoy watching your videos/learning. Saw that you were having problems uploading/exporting make sure the kodak(format) you are filming in is the same as your timeline and what you plan on exporting it as. Your video was about 37 minutes so it should of taken about 40ish minutes to export from what you are using to edit with.

[@MsStephNic]

Swarupa Nune holy crap. Thank you. I sent it from Final Cut Pro X to the Compressor. For some reason the color transitions over the step titles took hours to render before the compressor could finish the last bit. It took about 8 hours. I did have to reinstall a few months back, I'm wondering if I somehow messed something up. Never used to take that long

[@RupaPSA]

Ahhhh 8 hours it should not take that long unless your exporting A LOT of heavy graphics (which doesn't appear so) I would suggest exporting out of Final Cut and then throwing the video into compressor for a youtube version than can easily be uploaded. Hmmm make sure your graphics are also set in the the same format as your timeline and what your filming in. For example say your filming in Apple Pro Res 1280x720 @ 59fps make sure that your timeline in Final Cut is the same, and that your export is too and then throw it into compressor for what I assume the version your uploading to youtube will be. Also "nesting" your graphics may help esp. if you have lots of graphics layered on top of one another.

[@CStarling75]

I think I've watched this video about ten times, reviewing my skin care regimen. I changed my skin care after this and holy crap, the difference is astounding.

[@emileenh]

Can you review The Ordinary? It is affordable and I want to know if it works for the price point.

[@sahirarodriguez9782]

glitterem yes!!

[@themooniebella5781]

glitterem it is incredibly good. especially the hyaluronic I adore. you won't be disappointed by purchasing xxx

[@Sungoddess161616]

glitterem Yes, please!!

[@MsStephNic]

I plan on it. Hopefully soon ❤

[@rachelmarkum7441]

Stephanie Nicole so do we not need the other liquid coq Toner

[@Gacha_Runa]

I have to admit I've watched this about 10 times now lol. It's helped me a lot, I've bought several of the products you've recommended and I've seen such a change in my skin in such a short time. Can't wait to see what the long term brings.

[@michellemacco]

" not on THIS planet" 🤣

[@serafinamarotta]

As a fellow woman in her 30's, it's always nice to see your skincare recommendations. I believe that Paula's Choice has an article about combining glycolic, tretinoin and vitamin C? My skin is pretty oily and 'tough', and so after I wash my face, I immediately apply the glycolic, then wait 30 minutes and apply the tret. Wait maybe 15 mins and then apply a serum, niacinamide lotion, and finally an oil. But again, I know that wouldn't work for someone with dry or sensitive skin.

[@vcr6854]

Pixi and Caroline are supposed to come out w a balm next year and I am sooo going to buy it when I see it at target! :)

[@MsStephNic]

La Doshis I can't wait! I hope they made enough to keep stock! ❤

[@vcr6854]

Stephanie Nicole me too! :)

[@timothysherreyehler5095]

It was refreshing to see someone that does a very similar night time routine, especially the reasons for doing it! I am currently using the Olay cleansing brush until I determine whether to purchase a foreo type cleansing product, or a clarisonic, and I have sevéral favourite cleansing products (Murad , Mary Kay, and several Korean products). I, too use tretinoin (switched to 0.01% a month ago), and Good Genes together at night, and I use a glycolic cream in the morning. I don't tone, but I use three essences in tandum in two week increments, and I don't use a cotton round, but my fingers (May Coop's Raw Sauce, Biotherm, Life Plankton, and Missha, Time Revolution, The First Treatment Essence). I'm significantly older than you, (I'm going to be 56 in March) so I use several fabulous serums after the essence, before I moisurize with Infinite Aloe, and Infinite Aloe Gold. I also then use an oil (organic rose hip, organic aloe, organic emu, or Sunday Riley's Luna (but I'm going to try théir Flora, or Juno next time). I've never used a med spa skin care regimen, but my current routine has improved my skin greatly over the last two years. My skin is normal to slightly dry now, but I was oily well into my early 40s, and I had significant acne for most of my life. My current main concern is deep nasolabial fold lines beside my mouth that began after surgical menopause ten years ago. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that will address them is to begin using fillers which I haven't tried as of yet. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making, and sharing this video. It will be helpful for many, and it confirms to me that I am on the right track for the most part! Happy 2017, Stephanie! Love, and best wishes, Sherrey💗

[@SarcasticaleeXP]

First video of the year. Thanks Steph

[@Mel-S.99]

Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. I was awful with skincare until I started watching you. At 35, my hormonal issues really screwed with my skin but I'm mostly clear now and much more comfortable makeup free. Thanks for taking the time to explain the why on everything :)

[@baygladney1261]

Your videos are the best. Damn I love how you educate us. I decided that I would not buy that Vitner's Daughter until I ran out of my current hoard. I must get ahold of my madness before adding it.

[@Ebichuchu]

Love how informative this video is! I'm also super obsessed with thorough skincare, and made a comment about how many products I use on a different video where I was scolded and berated for being 19 and using too many products?? I'm glad to see it's not a bad thing haha.

[@alissadelores]

Would you recommend rose water as a sufficient toner?

[@gabrielestrada7168]

alissadelores wondering the same thing :)

[@AmiiLovesHerself]

alissadelores I like to use it but I've no idea if it's actually good :/

[@donal5029]

alissadelores if you ever decide to use rosewater as toner always dilute it with water. its never good to use on its own.

[@courtney4678]

alissadelores was wondering the same thing , I bought I rosewater toner spray and feel like it just gives me a little more moisture more than anything! Would be interested to see what SN thinks 😊

[@lisamiddleton3475]

alissadelores I love it. Make sure it's organic and not fragranced and it's very good for your skin.

[@queenofhearts477]

I have always tried to take care of my face, but over the years I had not kept up with new skin care products. I just used the products my Dermatologist suggested and I tended to spend more on makeup & not really much on skin care. This video is a wake up call to adjust my skin care routine!! I immediately started checking on the Cetaphil that was recommended by the Dr., but is really not good for your face. After reviewing Stephanie's skin care videos, I have added several of the products she recommended. Especially the Good Genes by Sunday Riley and the May Coop. I also purchased a Clarisonic and the small cloth towels. WOW, I am documenting the changes to my face that started June 1st. I am on day 13 and have really noticed a difference! The biggest change is I feel I am getting my skin cleaner and it is brighter. This also made me think about my very hard water, so I have taken to using distilled water only to wash my face. Thank you so much for these videos!! I am looking younger daily!!!

[@abdul-rahmanfamily3849]

what's your opinion on face masks? when do you use them, how often? which ones are good for you and which ones not. I've been obsessing over masks ever since another KZbinr has been raving about using a new mask every day to keep her skin on point.

[@thepostpunkoracle3450]

I'm in my early 20's and am in no way in need of this level of skincare maintenance yet, but your videos have made me so excited about taking care of my skin. I love watching your routines and learning about different products and how they work. One of my new year goals is to make a dermatologist appointment. I bought the Foreo Luna only after I consulted your video and I really enjoy it so far, (when I had more significant acne, I discovered that exfoliating even once a day was too much for my skin). Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for helping me be more motivated to take care of myself, as someone with a lot of strain on their capabilities to function, every little bit helps. Happy new year!

[@sprinx99]

"not on this planet" LOL OMG I love you.

[@kristinmichaels7781]

You're my favorite beauty guru on KZbin because you're so down to earth and honest in your views

Please do a special video on anti aging skincare! Where to start, what to use, recommended brands, etc!

[@agentwrench]

Steph: excuses her make up that she's been wearing for 11hours Me: your make up looks better than mine when I've just aplied it.

[@sophialopez2079]

the fresh soy cleanser is really nice and won't strip your skin of moisture plus it smells nice

[@comment104589362846]

I honestly cant get over how gorgeous you are! like yes girl 👏👏

[@elainet6450]

I love your videos. I have oily mature skin and have been under a dermatologist care since I was 16. There is nothing better than a doctor to make your skin better.

[@JenZbeingme]

How do you tell the difference between a treatment oil like Juno and a moisturizing oil like Fresh or Drunk Elephant? When I look at their descriptions on Sephora, they all say they have antioxidants.

[@MsStephNic]

Jenifer Zech just reading the ingredients. Juno has more oils that not only moisturize & contain antioxidants, they also preform more tasks. When you look up the fresh ingredients it's mostly just moisture & omegas. To get that much oil, for that cost, I'm assuming it's not extracted the most delicate so whatever antioxidants it could claim to have would likely have oxidized out. Don't just go by the sites description, Google the ingredients as well ❤

[@thydnee8969]

which Sunday Riley oily do you prefer/reccomend for dry skin. do all the oils do the same thing? my skin is extremely dry... your opinion is much appreciated lol!

[@fbiagentfrank]

Sydney Healy She has dry skin and uses Luna. I bought it because that's what was recommended for dry aging skin and it works so well for me!

[@Sungoddess161616]

I love your videos. My skin has changed dramatically thanks to you and I always trust you. My skin isn't dry, but I've changed up and minimizes some of the steps to fit me. Thank you, Stephanie!
