What a fantastic video ! I’m 43-years-old. I loved all the science based explanations for your skincare choices

I turn 45 this year and the advice I received from this video has GREATLY improved my skin. I glow now and look so youthful again. My skin was so dry and lacking. My skin is bright and dewy. I've been doing this for about a month, but saw results pretty quickly. Thank you Thank you!!!

I'm currently using: The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser Inkey PHA Toner (at night) Avene RetrinAL C.E.O. Glow Vit C +Turmeric Oil Olay Pro-Retinol Eye Treatment (already had this, going to try your recommended next) Clinque Moisture Surge (morning) Clinque Moisture Surge Overnight Mask (night) I already had the clinque, so going to finish those and then try your recommended product. I wasn't taking care of myself at all and it's amazing that giving myself this attention has turned back the clock. I really do look more youthful, and I feel pampered. The info you gave in your video helped tremendously!

I’m also an ‘82 vintage, but never really had a skincare routine 😬 I’m so glad I came across your channel recently, your information regarding products is fantastic and so helpful! I’ve gotten quite a few of your recommendations and my skin feels so much better already, and I know the visible change will take some time ⏰ but I’m looking forward to it!

@@xtian384 Depending on the oil, that is actually the correct way to layer skincare products. Caroline Hirons (among many others) has always recommended oil before moisturizer. But from my own research, it basically depends on the oil. Some oils are very heavy and should be applied last. Others are lighter and have smaller molecules and should be applied before moisturizers. Vintner's Daughter is an example of an oil that always goes on BEFORE moisturizer. Also May Lindstrom's and DeMamiel's oils go on first. You just need to do your research with each product.

@@andie1508 in relation to this issue, there are two major types of oil: carrier and occlusive. If it’s a carrier oil, you and Miss Hirons would be correct. But this contains both types of oils, so no, you both are incorrect and wasting your money. Specifically, as you should know by your own “research”, jojoba oil is a very well known sealer. Also, Miss Hirons is the same “expert” that says that, if you rub your product on your palms too long it’s going to be wasted because absorbed by your hands, which is impossible since your palms don’t have pores. And she’s supposed to be a “SkIn EXpErT”. Good luck with that.

I’m an esthetician now & I literally have the same exact routine without even fully know all the ingredients. I just made it through trail & error.

I love you Lauren, you're my new youtube favorite now! Haha I learned something from you today especially about peptides, very helpful & you explain very well! Keep it up girl! ❤️❤️❤️

You have beautiful skin. Thank you for the tips. 😊

I use the cerave hydrating cleanser too and it has greatly improved my skin. That and I quit wearing makeup during the pandemic. That really helped my skin.

I love the cover design on your book! Very beautiful! ✨🌸🧘‍♀️

Thanks for the advice. I'm 41 now and my skin is changing so I am always looking for good products. I have always tried to take care of my skin and I want to make sure I alter my routine as needed. I appreciate your honesty on the Botox. I am still on the fence about getting it but I think you look great and I have the same problem areas you mentioned.

You had me at skin care at 40 (I'm 37) and manifesting! Blessings! 🤍

Your skin looks incredible for any age ❤😂I’m 28 and also live in the middle east. I start to pay more attention on skin care than makeup recently, and will definitely get everything you mentioned in this video especially the CEO face oil!

29 here. Skin is dull and dry; wrinkling. I have anemia which deprives my skin of oxygen but I’m trying! So glad to be here 😊

I can watch this woman talking alllllll dayyyyyyyy… 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I am 46 and I also think that age is just a number. People always think that I am much younger, I guess it's also our state of mind, we don't think of getting old that's why we don't get old as fast as those who always complain " omg I am sooo old" 😄Recently I've visited a cosmetologist to get an opinion about my skin condition and she told me, that it looks better than many 30 years old women which I wasn't really expected 🥰she asked me if I had botox on my face - the last time I tried botox just on my forehead was like 14 years ago 🙃your skin is so beautiful, like 25 year old girl ❤

THANK YOUUUUUU!!

Thank you for this wonderful info. I’m older but awesome products and habits can be useful at all ages. Enjoyed your video and your knowledge. Put left over skin care on back of hand AND upper eyelids near brow. You don’t want loose skin in those areas either. At 64 I wish I would have done this at 40

I just turned 31. Thank you for the product suggestions. Definitely going to invest.

You look amazing ma'am. Consistency is the key. 😊 Is it possible for you to share substitute products of drunk elephant or anyone in the chat if possible?

i love your videos 😊 morning, evening routines and how to exfoliate…! do these same products apply for me since i have combination skin?

I'm 24 and a huge skincare buff, LOVE love love this video. You look no day older than 32 max! But I HATE when ppl use the term "baby botox" or "preventative botox" to downplay this procedure or making it look like you ain't doing a whole lot. But no matter the units every botox treatment is a full blown treatment and it's ALWAYS preventative.

Hello, first time viewer here 👋🏼 As someone who is also 40 (ok, maybe 42 😆) I found this super helpful. I also love that you avoid all the same ingredients I do! I love Drunk Elephant, especially because it’s all fragrance free, but unfortunately it’s both super expensive and you can’t get the whole range here in Australia 😒. I’m currently using nothing on my face 😬 because I’ve literally run out of everything, so I really need to stock up on some new products. I also avoid brands that test on animals (like cerave) so that restricts the options a bit more. Thanks for all the product suggestions!

I am soooo diligent about skin care and it looks like I’m on the same page as you as far as ingredients go! But now it’s time for the really hard part… caffeine and alcohol. I don’t abuse either but I so love the smell of coffee and the comfort it brings every morning and I love a glass of wine with my hubby but I have noticed my body doesn’t like it

Sunday vitamin c is between £35-£68 on culture beauty. I got a serum from Marks and Spencer for £10 which was quite nice I guess its buying the best you can afford.

Hi Lauren, I was wondering if you ever tried geek and gorgeous moisturizers if you could review them if you haven’t I’m thinking about purchasing them but I really haven’t seen too much information on them

Do you change this routine depending on the time of year? And do you tend to stick to the same products for a long time or do you update your routine often in general?

Hey Lauren, would you mind taking a look into Accure radically rejuvenating whipped night cream. It seems to have similar ingredients to drunk elephant .Would love to know what you think?

Yes! Ur skin loox gr8! Usually some start getting that alligator purse look round 45/50! 😂. Ur doing a good job!!

Would you please a make a video and give us your thoughts on Clarins product specially skin care ?

I am 41 and barely use anything on my face. Be careful with harsh chemicals that are added literally everywhere. I suggest natural face masks using food products and intake of high quality gelatin- only if you don’t have issues with blood pressure or other blood disorders. Also vitamin C is essential. Last time people guessed my age they thought I am still in school and I am tall and overweight. Glow is everything. Stay young ladies ❤

Love your videos! I live in Dubai also, I have a shower filter but when I don’t shower I avoid using water on my face for skincare as it’s so hard and full of chemicals etc. I use my drinking water filter to wet a kitchen towel for my face pre moisturiser etc when not showering. Do you use a water filter on your tap when washing your face, or do you have a home filter system? How do you avoid this as Dubai tap water makes my skin break out badly

You look great. Your skin looks like you take great care in it. Have you had any procedures done? Botox, eyebrow lift, fillers? Or do you recommend any type of facials, microneedling, microdermabrasion Or light therapy? I’m curious because those things also make a big difference when it comes to fine lines and deep lines And I was considering getting Botox between my brows but I have heard mixed reviews about long term side effects of repeated Botox on the brain since it is a chemical.
