Skincare with Microcurrent Devices: What to Use and What to Avoid - Over 40

[@elishagabriell6529]

I use a cheap bottle of Aloe Vera Gel from Walmart. It's $3.67 or something. Try it. It works great!

[@angiehc77]

My problem is that aloe doesn't stay smooth for moving a device slowly. It begins to get sticky within a minute. How can I fix that?

[@slashedbeauty]

I've been binging your microcurrent vids since you recommended it. Solawave on the way, can't wait!

[@badoodles08]

What alternative can you suggest to use for Ziip? Since their gel is suepr expensive. Ive been checking on that device.

[@bluelavender7773]

What do you think about Vichy 89 Mineral Fortifying and Plumping Daily Booster? Could it be a good conductivity gel due to its content of 89% water that has 15 types of minerals in composition?... It has also Hyaluronic acid.

[@janisezack1610]

Excellent information.

[@MiriamVazquez1130]

Did she mention which kind of gel to use/apply BEFORE peptides or hyloronic acid?

[@Wishesfeb29]

Your intro brought tears to my eyes,. Thank you. Progress is being made slowly, and I am hopeful. I love your videos. This is one is very helpful.

[@happychinami]

7e also says, "Skip the retinol. It is not recommend that you use retinol the night before a microcurrent treatment."

[@AliceWonders22]

HA is produced naturally in the body so there wouldn’t be a reaction to pure HA however not all HA is created alike. The Ordinary is a low grade one I don’t recommend as a Master Aesthetician of 30 years. I always recommend using cosmeceutical grade skin care. Not some thing you can pick up from Ulta or Sephora. There are definitely different levels of skin care. Drugstore being at the bottom, next would be department store which is basically overpriced junk product and then cosmeceutical would be the top of the spectrum. I am 48. You have beautiful skin! I will say there’s a product out of Portland Oregon that you can pick up at whole foods, natural grocers, and sprouts and it’s called Mad Hippie. Definitely has good ingredients and that is the exception as far as not being cosmeceutical. It was originally produced for surfers and it has really clean and pure ingredients. Love to see you do a review on that brand and what you think!

[@siddelld]

Hi, I just discovered your video. I have a similar routine. I use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. You mentioned you do your micro current in the middle of the day. Do you wash your face three times a day, the morning, afternoon, and night?

[@lvovskaya]

Is glycerin ok in a prepping serum before microcurrent session? I thought you cannot have any oils or silicones on your face for better conductivity? Not sure about Glycerin!

[@hoh_sweh5888]

Thank u! Got a Bear Mini and I needed this since I am new to micro current.

[@karencatangay8569]

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm trying to get the Needle-less serum but the code is not working anymore. Do you have a new code by any chance?

[@beautybeyond40]

It must have expired. You can try signing up for their emails to get a code for your first order?

[@debbiegreen2095]

I've heard that Argireline is great to use with a Microcurrent Tool. They say this is Botox in a bottle. Also, what is your opinion about using a Stem Factor Serum with your Microcurrent?

[@beautybeyond40]

sounds like worth a try! why not?

[@DB6904.]

Hi Trina, when you're putting all these good things on your face right before microcurrent, do you leave the majority of the products on after you're done in the middle of the Day? I guess I mean do you just wipe off the extra gel with a dry, or damp towel, just wondering what you found works well. I will definitely check out getting a consultation! Thanks!!!

[@EricaceaeCalluna]

What about copper peptide under the gel..like The Ordinary - Buffet+

[@izzyg5594]

I have thst coming via mail and was wondering the same thing thank you❤💅💄💎!

[@alisa-franco]

Is microcurrent safe for people with heart conditions not with a pacemaker but with a non-medical treated like heart palpitation

[@beautybeyond40]

not sure. The best thing to do is go to the brand website and read the contraindications. If they are not listed, reach out to ask the brand.

[@jennybolter1102]

for many years I’ve used the Tripollar Stop initially I used the gel that comes with it but got too expensive so I checked out the ingredients and top was Glycerin so I bought organic glycerin cheap as chips and I have used it successfully for years, thanks for the tip to use Hyaluronic serum first I have the original Hada Labo great value as a big bottle , I have bought the smart water to spray on my face too I use a Retirides 0.05 once a week too no problem for me thanks for all the info x

[@beautybeyond40]

Great tips. Yes I love hada labo!!

[@GemilyMez]

Thanks. Exactly the information I was looking for.

[@Mimi-el7rs]

Thank you for making the video! I have the Nuface Mini and wondering if I can just use The Ordinary Hyaluronic acid 2% +B5 as the conductor (instead of the Nuface Hyaluronic gel it comes with)?

[@beautybeyond40]

The problem with this is that with the Nuface, there is no conductivity indicator, so there’s no way to know that you’re getting conductivity with a different product. This is why I say you should always use their gel. If you want to try that product you could try with the myolift because then you’ll know if you have conductivity because there’s a conductivity bar right on the device

[@jessicaessary4498]

I just found this video thank u so much am still finding a gel primer I had stop using the nuface cause the gel was irritating my skin really horrible 😅 😫

[@msp304]

Thanks for making this video ! Can we use Ultrasound Gel ?

[@beautybeyond40]

i wouldn't, but some people do. i would want to use something with skincare benefits that is clean since you are pushing the gel into your skin/pores.

[@alisa-franco]

Can we just use high molecular hyaluronic acid for a conductor lake casa de baha

[@beautybeyond40]

not sure. normally you need some sort of mineral or salt content to conduct the current, which is why i like to use the hyaluronic sea serum by osea. I have tested that this serum conducts microcurrent with my myolift mini since it has a conductivity indicator. I am not sure that a stand alone HA serum would conduct, but you could test it with a myolift device. I have a separate KZbin video all about microcurrent gels and serums if you want to watch that and learn more and read all the comments.

[@jennysu355]

Do you suggest use face serum instead of their gel when you doing the MyoLift ? Thank you 🙏

[@beautybeyond40]

No because you need a gel in order to conduct the microcurrent

[@constancemorris4266]

Informative video! Thank you ☺️

[@agnieszkaguzik5019]

Hey Trina one question.. can I use my retinol serum staright after microcurrent? I'm using Nu Face and retinol in squalane from the ordinary..

[@beautybeyond40]

Probably. If you’re concerned, you can use mc in the AM, then retinol in the PM.

[@shafaqkhan4654]

Could we use facial oil with EMS device?

[@beautybeyond40]

no. it will not conduct the current

[@prajitakarki5685]

I use retin A everyday ? I bought nuface and dermaroller …should I stop my retin A using these devices …Can I use tretinoin after microcurrent ?

[@beautybeyond40]

I use retin a on different days

[@deniseruel3498]

Hi Trina! I had no idea that we should stop retin-a two weeks before using the myolift! I haven’t and have not seen an issue. Plus, when would you use the retin-a if you were doing the myolift 2-3x a week? I am confused. Love your videos!!!

[@beautybeyond40]

7e wellness recommends to not use retin-a at all while you are doing a microcurrent regimen, but as I said in my video, many people do and have no problem. If you’re concerned, you could ask Valentina or a dermatologist to see if there would be any long term negative effects. I don’t use retin-a; I only use over the counter retinol.

[@eileenmcfadden5677]

Yes i just purchased the myolift mini and i use 0.025% tretinoin cream like every other night so now i am feeling concerned about that! Well i guess I could try and see

[@TheBoots72]

I use tretinoin at night and Ziip in the morning after washing my face first of course. I don't know why this would be an issue. You obviously shouldn't put it on right before using a microcurrent device, but after about 12 hours being fully absorbed in the skin i don't think it will do any harm🤷‍♀️

[@clarethomas1938]

Can I use The Ordinary Cleanser before using the NuFace microcurrent device? It is soap and oil free.

[@beautybeyond40]

I think so

[@madelynlauttia8464]

Can i use plant based with bear foreo? Thanks

[@providencephelps1497]

Thanks so much for this video. You’re always so helpful. I hope that the myolift is in stock soon!

[@beautybeyond40]

Me too!! Thank you

[@katebowes1]

Does anyone do there full skincare routine minus the cream before microcurrent? Then put the gel on?

[@dianadiosa4253]

Ive recently had lip fillers a week ago. Will using the myolift in the surrounding areas (cheeks ,marionette lines rest of face ) have any diminishing effects on filler ?

[@beautybeyond40]

I don’t think it has an effect on fillers, but you can always ask the person that did your filler.

[@marisolfregoso3047]

Thank you for your video! I have now the Myolift and the Clareblend but the Clareblend get so sensitive under my eyes I can feel the microcurrent so I get scared and I’m not doing that area because gets really strong, do you think is the device or am I doing something wrong? I’m using the same gel from the device. I never have that problem with the Myolift 😞thanks!!!

[@beautybeyond40]

I’ve never tried the Clareblend. I would follow your instincts and if it feels off under your eyes, just don’t use it there.

[@khrisesguerra1007]

can I use hyaluronic acid alone while using the microcurrent?

[@beautybeyond40]

you need something to conduct the current. I don’t know that HA alone can do that

[@KellyLudwin]

I got mine today and followed along on one of your tutorial videos. I'm in your FB group

[@sarastone4770]

Any alternative eye serum to use with the NUFACE FIX please?

[@beautybeyond40]

you can use any microcurrent serum or gel. here's what i use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmeVdKp3Z8l3oa8

[@silverfish8307]

Does this apply to radio wave as well eg; newa

[@yaoyaowu3656]

where is the link of the item? Thank you

[@reginavandusen7407]

If you had to choose between the myolift mini gloves or the mouth and eye attachments what would be best to start with? Can’t afford all

[@badoodles08]

mouth and eye attachments would be better since you can use the probes. Gloves is only if you prefer to use it rather than than the probes

[@tanwhite01]

Hi Everyone....just a quick question for anyone using the Myolift, have you guys ever burned your skin? My friend tried it for the first time and said she got a small burn on her chin, she used it on her entire face and around her eyes but only got a burn on her chin. To my knowledge a burn seems unlikely but I wanted to check to see if any of you experienced anything similar. Thanks!

[@badoodles08]

I have not have been shocked with Myolift, its probably either she didnt put enough gel or the gel she used is not water based or has oil in it

[@loriannschultz2360]

I found something on Amazon called Jellen organic peptide power conductive gel, has anyone ever tried it? I was thinking of getting it instead of the 7-Ewellness gel because it’s a little cheaper??

[@lucisventusnoctis]

Love the intro ❤️ thanks for making the video ❤️

Ok to use retinoid same night if I do micro current in the AM like 10 hours earlier ?

[@nicolecampbell6703]

@beautybeyond40 do the serums under the gel wipe clean after you wipe off the conductivity gel?

[@izzyg5594]

My NuFace FIX says to only use their serum, it's this cloudy dark orange color. I'd imagine any serum geared towards these devices would be good?

[@beautybeyond40]

Yes I use all microcurrent gels with all the microcurrent devices...

[@alexmower2957]

Wonderful info!

[@danig342]

Can I use the Ziip gel with my Nuface?

[@beautybeyond40]

Yes

[@angelfiremimosa]

So can just use hylonuric acid alone?

[@beautybeyond40]

yes, but put the gel on over it

[@izzyg5594]

So I CAN use Retinol later when I'm not using a device?

[@beautybeyond40]

I do....

[@izzyg5594]

Thank you for replying!❤

[@jocelyncarvajal5534]

Waoo you give so much good information thanks I need it 😘 I been using the miolift and I would like to incorporate retinol on the days that I don’t use the micro current what are you suggestions ?? Please help

Can I use the sea moss gel as a conductor gel with myolift?

[@beautybeyond40]

you mean the stuff that katie makes?

[@badoodles08]

@@beautybeyond40 Yes. I tried to use it but it turned grainy since I used a Nutri bullet blender.

[@madelynlauttia8464]

Can i use plant based serum with bear foreo?? Thanks

[@beautybeyond40]

I’m not sure. I don’t know if you’ll get conductivity. The only way that I use different serums is a test some with my Myolift device since it has a conductivity indicator and then I can use it with my other devices if I know it gets conduction.

[@heatherhernandez5561]

Very good tips
