The single most important item in a skincare routine (am), is spf. A lot of people tend to forget that. It's way harder to fix sun spots (etc) than to prevent them

[@LindseyN1223]

I've gotten my routine down to 3 things: Cetaphil cleanser, tretinoin, and tallow balm. My skin has never looked better and I'm frequently mistaken to be younger than I am.

[@rebeccamariabolton7131]

I will look up tallow balm I've never heard of it ❤

[@exodiatheforbiddenone186]

I believe less is more. The old routines were good for our grandparents, they are good enough for us.

[@PiaPancakes]

Except with an emphasis on sunscreen of course!

[@solerodemanga]

​@@PiaPancakesSunscreen is always important 🧴💗

[@lyladaisie]

Leaves more in our wallets too

[@SKWaters92]

Retinol has entered the chat.

[@vikker8274]

Teen in the 80’s. Cuticura soap was still around and did help with acne. Started using spf daily in the 90’s when Olay added it as a daily lotion. I still use the Walmart version of it everyday. The best part of getting older was losing the acne! Will take my crows feet any day lol. Use an inexpensive retinol at night and a mild scrub every morning. Best old school product you can still find is queen helene cocoa butter body lotion. Used after a daily shower it keeps your skin smooth! About $5 at my local dollar store.

[@belvajennings]

I was a teen in the seventies. When I got that first case of acne, my mom got me a bar of Cuticura soap. Worked a treat and I had good skin all the way through those acne-prone years. Haven’t seen it in years.

[@monique6549]

Does anyone remember Bonnie Bell?

[@cherylreitz4779]

Yeah it is still sold especially the lip smackers

[@sharroon7574]

Yes!

[@Kat-cg9hr]

Loved their cheek tint❤

[@Girl2TheCity]

Bonnie Bell cosmetics was a tween girls best friend. What u mean?😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64]

I remember. ❤

[@pixiepalasmr6881]

I’m a little bit of both. I love classic skincare because it was simpler, and it paved the way for what skincare is now. As for new skincare, I love how much more science is involved, I just don’t like how excessive everyone has become about it. I love skincare, but I don’t buy the newest stuff simply because Sephora carries it.

[@naz-kg3yq]

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT ❤❤❤❤ me and my best friend always discuss the topics you introduce in your videos. We love you so much. Thank you for enriching us with your knowledge. Might sound insane. But we have bonded so much through your content. So thank you for that ❤❤❤

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Oh wow I love that!! Thanks so much 💕💕💕

[@solerodemanga]

I do the same skin routine my dear grandma always do since she was a little girl, which for me makes much more sense than today's skin care. I'm a young woman who doesn't identify in a lot of things of my generation, and I'm okay with that!😉💗💋

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Love that you gave a good skin routine 💕💕💕

[@solerodemanga]

Thank you so much, I love your videos I'm always watching them 💗​@@Laurajaneatelier

[@Kat-cg9hr]

Ponds from my grandma to mom to me to my daughter...

[@solerodemanga]

Amazing! I love Ponds, my grandma loves Ponds too​@@Kat-cg9hr

[@bershelleparks5035]

Also for all the Ponds lovers, they have multiple foaming cleaners online. I cannot find them stores. One is a charcoal and one is for blemishes. They also have a small tube of a color correcting cream with myristic acid I found at CVS 😊 I have used before and they are nice, I have just simplified my routine down to products I personally love and will use regularly since finding them a few years ago.

[@sabrinabeberman180]

I love all of your videos. I love how women back in the 1940's and 1950's always looked so pretty and polished, I wish that women today could go back to looking like that and acting more lady like today.

[@janelleg597]

It would take a huge shift away from feminism. Women are trying to be men atm 😕

[@CassiaMdB]

I totally agree with you!

[@ChristChickAutistic]

I'm still a 3 step girlie, lol! Neutrogena or Philosophy face wash, Dr. Thayers for toning, and No.7 or Olay for moisturizing.

[@thecolorfulchristian]

Your videos are some of my favorite content on KZbin!

[@CleoGravel]

Wow how times have changed 😊thanks for sharing 😊

[@paulinamartinez1897]

My sister loves to used Paula cream it helps her with her skin. I like using Aveeno for my acme skin . Also use sunscreen all year round . ☀️ 🤗

[@RebeccaJackson-u1e]

I remember when skin care was fairly simple, I did my beauty training about 25 years ago, there was all those expensive brands but it was fairly basic. Cleanse, tone, moisturizer. U had add on sales which was eye cream, neck cream. Then there was the inclusion of the same product line in body cream, lip treatment, hand cream. I do all this but I do have treatments but I also love training devices on your skin that train the muscles. Just a great video!!!! Thanks ❤❤❤

[@_primalpilatesprincess]

I love chemical exfoliants and Serums as much as the next girlie... But one thing I'll always keep in my cabinet is POND'S

[@Kat-cg9hr]

Loved Pond's❤

[@bershelleparks5035]

Jergens face cream morning & night Cleanser (Pink dove or Cetaphil) Alternate between Adapalene and mandelic acid nightly Eucerin q10 nightly SPF daily.

[@ataylor5221]

Awesome routine. I love the Jergens all purpose cream for my eczema

[@bershelleparks5035]

@ataylor5221 it has been so easy on my skin and leaves it so soft. Plus the smell is so light and relaxing 😊

[@Jeanne7774]

I like the less is more skincare routine of yesteryear but the products are so hard to find today. I can still find the small blue German tin of Nivea crème in the shops, I am using that, it's lovely, I'm delighted to hear you say it may fade dark spots, I welcome that. I managed to find the classic Crowe's Cremine cleanser online. As for settling for what's on offer today in my local shops I use cleansers made by Lush (the Ultrabland) and Japanese cleansers, I'm using a foaming wash by Curel. I want to try the Japanese sunscreens that function as a moisturiser. I have tried a sunscreen by Paula's Choice, it was good.

[@cynthiabarker522]

The Olay Total Effects skincare is very good. Feels luxurious on the skin.

[@laetitiastrydom4470]

Ponds vanishing cream is still made and sold in South Africa

[@estellacoggins715]

Neutrogena face wash is great followed with Cetaphil face moisturizer with spf15 are my go to. For makeup remover and face cleanser Dickenson's witchhazel soothing cleansing cloths. Still keep and use ponds cold cream when needed. Vaseline is always in my stash and has many uses. My 3 favorite body moisturizers: Nivea cream is a staple in my stash along with Curel in a pumpand Derma E body moisturizer in a tube. I also use Jason apricot face scrub about once a month. I'm 63 and have very few facial wrinkles. People often comment on how I dont have wrinkles. I always sunglasses and a wide brim hat when out in the Sun.

[@Jacqueline_R]

I love the Ordinary caffeine serum ❤

[@heathersantellano2751]

I’ve been using Ponds Cold Cream for several years and I love it. It’s a staple in my routine.

[@sannmayy]

I'M A MODERN GIRL, LIVING IN A MODERN WORLD, IN LOVE WITH MODERN SKINCARE 😊 I'm happy with my products now that have transformed my skin.

[@moshimedlin-sw6ov]

This is a little beyond my years but my aunts talk about it. Qt self-tanner. Everyone has used Sun in at some point in their lives. Turning everyone's hair bright orange, lol. When I was a teen in the ‘80 and 90’s tanning beds were very popular. Moshi

[@StacieBussey]

I used QT as a teen

[@moshimedlin-sw6ov]

@ did you turn orange? Moshi

[@Alexellis738]

Paula’s choice is AMAZING

[@Laurajaneatelier]

I need to try it

[@KRW3321]

I love their skin perfecting liquid!

[@Jacqueline_R]

I love the Lume soap❤ it actually does help with odor control as well❤

[@_.Emma._.]

LOVE YOUR VIDOES GIRL

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank you !

[@angelinamidbjerlundholm3058]

I use all sorts of products for my skin. Most creams and a lot of different creams. Sometimes it’s korean creams and sometimes nivea, clinique, clarins. I think c-vitamin works well for my skin. I remember oil of olay from the 80s. I was 30 when i started with skincare. Old but i got a good skin.

[@tingtingteacup]

Anyone know where you can buy the German Nivea either in the US or that will ship there at a reasonable price?

[@Laurajaneatelier]

There’s an online store called small flower that sells it

[@tingtingteacup]

@@Laurajaneatelier Thank you!

[@LaurenCarman]

Modern + vintage. Rose water then Vit C and Spf in the am. Ponds plus miceller water for cleansing. Niacinamide serum, a313 Retinol (the Vaseline texture) add a ceramitides moisturizer if needed and one a week do a lactic acid scrub and my skin glows!

[@sylviamitbrodt1562]

Very interesting video. Elizabeth Arden creams are great

[@lilyandrose8557]

Ive just made and used a facial scrub this morning of coconut oil and my coffee grounds from the morning espresso. Really there's enough for four or five uses.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Oh interesting!!

[@amesblitz339]

Coconut oil is comedogenic for some. Hope it works for you 💙

[@ataylor5221]

Great video and info! Thank u

[@ridethewave-k1l]

I make my own skin care I harvest the plant cure them and turn them into my own ❤ if you would like to try making your own I recommend the magazine WILLOW AND SAGE😊 I know what goes on ingredients I'm putting on my skin

[@Nisan-v6h]

That is so cool tell me more about the ingredients u use 😊

[@ridethewave-k1l]

@Nisan-v6h body butter is Shea mango cocoa and coconut with my own rose hip oil yarrow oil . Jojoba and argon. I take willow and sage magazine as a jumping off point but my daughter is the one who taught me about the herbs that grow here she does medicine salves and I use the same plants in my beauty products

[@conspiracion9125]

The ordinary, ziaja, revox

[@kaciebowers5051]

I used noxema as a teenager, and my 20s, oil of Olay in my 20s 30s and Clinique now in my 40s and I swear by all of them!!!! They are tried and true products and I've had healthy clear skin my whole life!

[@LaShondraMiller-u9r]

The dollar tree has Pond makeup wipes for $1.25😊

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Wow good deal

[@caroline6827]

Mary Kay is my personal favorite! ❤

[@memamuchos2705]

💙NIVEA💙 blue tin is a staple in our house for dry skin during Canadian winters!!! I’m wondering, if that’s the German one you’re referring to?

[@Aleena8700]

Love this

[@Laurajaneatelier]

Thank you

[@Aleena8700]

​@@Laurajaneatelier you literally have the best content on yt. I've changed a lot of my everyday makeup and skincare due to your channel ❤

[@Jacqueline_R]

I used the Olay 7 when in my 40s❤

[@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64]

Noxzema wasn't a good product. It caused a filmy build up on the skin.

[@Eman-oe8sg]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FFTS]

Fun video, great job. I do want to point out that we have been lied to about sunscreens, skin cancer rates exploded after people started using sunscreen (rhe chemical ones). Titanium dioxide and iron oxide are fine, those are sunblock. Sumscreen on the other hand experiences a reaction when it comes into contact with UV rays and becomes carcinogenic.

[@heathersantellano2751]

I’ve been using Ponds Cold Cream for several years and I love it. It’s a staple in my routine.
