"The Dr. Idris Hyper Serum is one that is super hydrating. It also helps work on anti-pigmentation with the digosal galic acid and tranexamic acid. The texture is more of a milky serum than a true moisturizer. Sometimes I layer it up twice."

Why Friendships Are the Key to Well-Aging Over 50

"Dr. Idris Major Fade Hyper Serum. This is great for just a general moisturizer. It also helps with pigmentation."

Over 50 Skincare & Makeup For Dry Skin (Chatty GRWM: Cataracts, LED , Millennial Skincare Trends)

"This is the one by Dr Idris, the hyper serum. Her whole line is geared toward maintaining pigmentation, which is something that is a huge goal of mine. I love the serum. It just makes your skin glow. It is amazing."

WINTER SKINCARE PLAN: Get the Best Skin of Your Life Over 50

"An alltime fave is the Hyper Serum by Dr Idris. I love the serum, it's always in my routine, it's my travel companion. It hydrates, it has pigment fighters, it also helps calm my redness. It has all the ingredients I need in kind of a one-and-one serum. If I'm just taking one serum with me when I travel, this is the one I take. This will definitely be in my skincare routine this winter because I use it as a maintenance serum for those particular three problems that I always have year round."

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment

"This is one of those exfoliating treatments that I do in the winter time because it's so gentle. You can use this in the morning. You can use this in the evening. If you have mature skin and you're kind of maybe a little bit nervous about doing an exfoliation step, this is a great first start. This was my entryway into exfoliating acids about six years ago when I was really nervous. I didn't really know what they were. I wasn't sure how my sensitive, dry skin would react. This is absolutely gorgeous and one that I return to and repeat purchase all the time."

OVER 50 SKINCARE EMPTIES: My Biggest DISAPPOINTMENTS & Instant Repurchases

BEST of 2025 Skincare & Makeup for Mature Skin (50+ Beauty Picks)

"Sunday Riley's Good Genes, you can use it A.M., you can use it P.M. It has lactic acid. Perfect for gently exfoliating mature skin and hydrating mature skin. I personally have loved this lately because I've been getting a few breakouts here and there and it has a touch of salicylic acid. Perfect overnight for smooth, baby soft skin when you wake up in the morning. But it is on the potent side. So definitely do your patch test. If you have a little bit more sensitive skin."

WINTER SKIN SURVIVAL KIT ❄️ Stop Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) for Mature Skin Over 50 Skincare

"I've also jumped over to using Good Genes. It's a lactic acid exfoliator. And for mature skin, it can be hydrating and also gently exfoliating. That's a great one to kind of rely on through the winter months. It's kind of one that I actually return to every winter."

Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum

"Another holy grail is the hyper serum by Dr. Idriss. This is for pigmentation. It has glycerin, super hydrating, but if you're working on pigmentation, this is a great serum. They come with two refills. So it's great. You get two fresh refills. And as you know, I travel with this all the time. It's kind of my one and done travel serum that I bring on the plane if I'm feeling kind of dry. It goes nicely over makeup for just a little highlight. Love this."

Castor Oil Castor Oil

"My holy grail favorite oil that I have repeat purchased since I did that crazy video two years ago where I just kind of caught on to the whole craze of castor oil. I love castor oil. I use a few drops right before I go to bed to seal everything in. I usually do my skin care a little bit on the early side in the evening, so everything that needs to sink in has sunk in, and this just helps not dry my skin out overnight. I put it on my feet. I put it on my cuticles. I go through this like crazy. So for me, this is my favorite. Highly budget friendly. Facial oil, body oil, foot oil, cuticle oil. So that is probably one of the best things that I found by accident in the last two years in skincare."

All 4 takes on Castor Oil

OVER 50 SKINCARE EMPTIES: My Biggest DISAPPOINTMENTS & Instant Repurchases

BEST of 2025 Skincare & Makeup for Mature Skin (50+ Beauty Picks)

"The best facial oil is going to shock you. Castor oil. I discovered this a year and a half ago. I didn't believe in it. I thought it was all hype. I now have gotten rid of all my facial oils and I just use a few drops of this to seal the deal in the evening. Perfect for your winter skincare routine. I love it for reducing inflammation. I've been very surprised how well it's done on my cuticles. The number one facial oil I can recommend in 2025."

Slugging CASTOR OIL for Dry Skin! (30 Day Trial On My 58 Year Old Face)

"If you have dry skin and use facial oils regularly, you're probably going to be able to incorporate this into your skin routine no problem. I have dry skin, I use facial oils regularly, I had no additional issues with incorporating castor oil into my routine as a replacement for my facial oils or as an inclusive over my body care. But you have to know your skin and know how your skin is going to react. If you used facial oils in the past and it didn't work out, it's likely that castor oil may not work for you. If you've never tried castor oil and you're not quite sure, definitely do a patch test. I found it very easy to apply. I take a puddle of it about a dime size and I swirl it in my hands so it's evenly distributed, and I pat it into my skin. That's how I would apply it in the evening over my regular skin care as a facial oil before I go to bed."

Get RID OF SUN SPOTS (New Fall Anti-Aging OVER 50 Skincare Routine)

"I put it on right before I go to bed, a few drops, just swish it in my hands, super light layer, and just pat it on. I've also been using it on my hands and my feet just to soften the skin. It is actually quite amazing the difference that a little bit of castor oil has done to the condition of my nail beds both on my hands and my feet and my heels. My heels don't crack anymore. I love it as an occlusive facial oil but I do let my skincare dry down before I add that on. It's basically the last step that I do right before I go to bed, and if I get that thin layer on it really doesn't feel very heavy and I don't have any problem transferring to my sheets. It just sort of soaks into my skin."

Remedy Vitamin C Serum

"Remedy came out with a new vitamin C serum that has the derivative free ascorbic acid. They gave me the lab sample and I went through it like crazy and I'm still using it and I bought another one. So, this is definitely a favorite for those of you who cannot tolerate ascorbic acid. This is a great choice. Remedy stacks their formulas with such amazing ingredients and it also has DNA repair enzymes in the form of phytoplankton which I think is so interesting. If you buy one of their skincare products, you're getting multiple amazing ingredients."

Tatcha Serum Stick

"I've decided that solid skincare just doesn't work for me. The solid stick by Tatcha, this is their serum stick. It's hard to get out. And it's just not pretty at all. It's not pretty on my lips. It's not pretty on my cheeks. Super disappointing."

It has a roller. You can keep it in the fridge for a cooling effect, but if you have redness, hot flashes, this is amazing for reducing redness quickly. It usually takes my skin about 5 minutes to kind of calm down. Now, is it reversing deep wrinkles? Absolutely not. But for a growth factor serum, top pick for 2025 is Medik8."

Super calming and soothing ingredients. You can kind of get some lymphatic drainage. Some people keep this in the refrigerator for that kind of cool sensation.

"I've tried the Needleless Growth Factor Serum and I just didn't find the wild factor that so many of you love. It has niacinamide, it has copper peptides, it has ceramides, and it has hyaluronic acid. For a one-and-one serum, for many of you this could be the answer, but I have very very dry skin and this isn't quite hydrating enough. I also treat different skincare concerns in my treatment step in the morning than just hydration. This is a slightly firming and hydrating type serum, but I need something geared toward anti-pigmentation, soothing, and anti-redness. If you have normal to oily skin type and you are just looking for a bit of hydration, this could be the perfect serum for you, but for me personally I need something a little bit more hydrating."

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

"It is so rich for the under eye area. Now, if you get milia in the under eye area, you might want to think twice because this is an extremely rich cream. But if you have redness, it also has a little green in it to help with redness. I love it. Overnight, it's basically an overnight mask for your under eye area. It is super super rich. I would say that if you don't have crepey under eyes, I wouldn't use this. And it's not going to help with dark spots. It's just going to be very hydrating, emollient, especially during the dry months. I get like just sort of dry skin right in the corners of my eyes. So, I've just been lathering this stuff on at night. Also, just a gorgeous formula."

Allies of Skin Peptides and Antioxidants Firming Daily Treatment

"The Allies of Skin firming peptide treatment daily treatment, I ended up using this in the evening time. There is some research on peptides, especially when it comes to hydration. Peptides sit in the middle when it comes to researched, evidence-based skin care. You have to take that with a grain of salt because they also can be fairly large molecules, so do they really penetrate into the skin? Advanced formulas like ones that are micronizing peptides have a bigger chance of actually getting into the skin and doing what they're supposed to do."

Peach and Lily Copper Peptide Pro Firming Serum

This is a more watery serum. You only need about a third of a dropper. I found that if I came in with more than a third of a dropper full, it definitely peilled. Very thin, very light layers performed much better by the time I got to my moisturizer and sunscreen."

"This is the eye treatment, black tulip eye treatment by Bloom Effects, which I've been using lately and absolutely loving. It's a gel formula. And the only other gel formula that I have purchased on repeat on repeat is the one by Dr. Loretta. Otherwise, I typically use a cream, even though I do have a slight tendency toward millia. And this one comes with a little cryo ball, which just feels amazing. So, I've been doing this little sort of mini spa eye treatment any morning that I have time. And I usually don't use these little gadgety things that come with products, but this is next level."

Testing New Skincare + Minimalist Makeup for a Fresh, Over-50 Look (Live!)!

"This is their black tulip eye treatment. And I think that's a really good way to explain it. It is more of an eye treatment, but it's kind of a jelly form, which is really nice. Some people can't tolerate creams in the under eye area because they tend to create millia. It just soaks into your under eye. Kind of gets rid of that crepiness. So far I'm a fan. I've only used this for around 3 weeks, so I want to use it for a bit longer. I like to use products for around 3 months before I kind of give you my thoughts on them."

"Bloom Effects came out with a new eye treatment that I absolutely love. I bought it on a whim. This is their new eye treatment, the Black Tulip treatment. I love this. It's a gel formula. In my experience, a gel formula is just the chef's kiss for the under eye area, and this one comes with a little roller. It's so amazing. I used it this morning. I've been having terrible allergies and this just helps move that fluid and that puffiness in my under eye area and it also helps if I do it right on my sinus area, drain sinuses. It works like any kind of lymphatic drainage or a gouacha would work. It brings circulation to that area which is beneficial for skin health and it also just gets rid of that puffiness. I'm not typically into the little gadgets that come with products, but this one is an absolute winner, and the product itself is gorgeous."

Bloom Effects Black Tulip Regenerative Brightening Serum

"Next is the black tulip regenerative brightening serum by Bloom Effects. I have been so curious about exosomes. Exosomes are part of the exudate of stem cells. Now these are obviously plant stem cells but you can also get exosomes, growth factors and cytokines, anti-inflammatories from cells that are from animal derived or you can get them from plant derived. The ones from Bloom Effects are from their black tulips."

If I do it, my cuticles look really nice. If I forget it, they don't. I have used past cuticle oils, sunflower oils, base fancy cuticle oils, nothing works like good old-fashioned castor oil. It has also given me great confidence in wanting to show my hands because it keeps my cuticles from splitting and peeling and getting so raggedy looking.

Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum

"My first treatment step is almost always a vitamin C formula for lightning and brightening and antioxidant protection especially in my morning routine and I've transitioned from the Timeless which I use this summer at 20% L-ascorbic acid to a little less irritating of a formula for the winter months when my skin is a little bit more sensitive. The vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid which is the gold standard at 15% in this formula and it's a higher percentage at 20% in this formula that's why I transitioned into a lower percentage. I just find in the winter months I tend to get a little bit more eczema which can be really stingy when you put on vitamin C so this is just a little bit more forgiving. Timeless also makes a formula at 10%."

We need both to repair your barrier or to help with dry skin. Humectants are just like they sound, they attract water to the skin. Skin needs hydration and water to heal it up. It also needs an emollient, which means that it needs some lipids to create a barrier and protect it. So you need both emollient and humectant if you want to repair your barrier, and this has both. I really highly recommend this. The only caution I have with this is don't use a heavy layer. It's a pretty thick formula, a little bit actually goes a long way, especially if you're going to layer this with other skincare. It does get a little tacky if you use too much, so I would say use this sparingly and do it in layers if you think you want more hydration and more barrier repair. But at night you could layer it up with a few layers, put a facial oil on top, and wake up in the morning feeling so much better."

THE ORDINARY'S NEW BARRIER REPAIR SERUM! Perfect For Soothing Mature Dry Skin

"Hopefully the new Serum by The Ordinary will help accomplish that. In a couple hours, as you can see the redness is diminished, it's not flaky, it's definitely not itching, it feels really soothed and comfortable. So far, The Ordinary's new Skin Barrier Serum is a winner."

The Best of SEPHORA HOLIDAY SALE: New Finds, Favorites & My Wishlist

"This is a great little serum, one of The Ordinary's best serums I think that they've come out with recently because it has multiple ingredients, it's not kind of following that theory that they have of one ingredient serum. The key ingredients in here are ceramides which help with transepidermal water loss and skin barrier repair, and two anti-redness products: azelaic acid and niacinamide gallic acid, both of those are for reducing redness and calming the skin. If you want a one-and-one for barrier repair, I think you should give this a try. I've been using it for a little patch of redness that I've had on my right cheek and it's really been helpful for soothing and calming."

The Ordinary Marula Oil

"Marula oil is a heavier oil. I've been really into pre-treating my hair with oil before I shampoo lately to reduce frizz, increase shine and manageability, and it's actually been giving me a lot more body because I'm really protecting that hair before I go into the shower. If you have really fine hair you want to do maybe a few more drops of the squalane and maybe one of the marula. If you have thick hair that's really damaged, go for the marula oil, put some in a little bit of it before you wash your hair and your hair will come out so much softer and more manageable. I think keeping these around in your cabinet is great because they're great for skin care, hair care, and nail care."

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10%

"Mandelic acid is great for rosacea and dry acne because it breaks up the oil in the skin, it hydrates the skin, and it also kind of reduces the redness. If you have dry acne, if you have rosacea, or if you just are very sensitive and have very sensitive skin, this is a very gentle exfoliator. It's anti-microbial, it's antibacterial, it will mop up the oil in your skin and just give that skin a little bit of a break and gentle exfoliation while your skin is healing. It's a perfect exfoliator to kind of get rid of those dead skin cells very gently. The one thing that folks who have regular acne or just not dry acne might not like is it feels a little bit oily on the skin, so it might feel a little uncomfortable on people who have oily acne skin."

I wouldn't use this every day since I have sensitive skin, but if you're using this during the day, 110 percent you need to use sunscreen because AHA and BHA can make your skin a little bit sensitive and you want to make sure that you're using a good sunscreen.

This does not irritate my skin, some fragrances do, it's very light, it does dissipate so I don't feel like the fragrance is lingering or headache inducing, but it's not my favorite vitamin C by any means because of that. But it could be the exception if you know fragrance is such a personal choice. This could be your absolute favorite vitamin C if you can't tolerate L-ascorbic acid and you don't mind a touch of fragrance."

Rogaine Minoxidil 5% Foam

"I have used Rogaine Minoxidil 5% foam for between 14 and 17 years. I have to use it every day. I did an experiment where I stopped using it and stopped using the Klesium hair growth system, and that was a fail for sure. I find the foam is less irritating to my scalp than the liquid. So, if you're having trouble with Minoxidil 5% liquid, try the foam and hold it at a 90° angle. I can even put the foam on right before I do my hair and it works out fine. If you're trying to find something for hair growth and you want just something to start with, try Minoxidil 5%. Always ask your provider. There are some claims that there are blood pressure issues with it. And some people say they get heart palpitations. Like anything, you always want to talk to your dermatologist before you start something new for skin and scalp."

"Vaseline as an eye cream, this is probably a fantastic idea if you don't get milia around the eye area. I am prone to milia, actually one just fell off a few days ago, so if you're prone to milia this might not be the best idea for you. But if you're not and you have dry crepey eyes or under eyes you might want to give this a go. It's probably not something that I'll do very often but it's worth a try if you have crepey under eyes and you want to help retain the moisture, especially overnight. You could put it on top of your eye cream to help retain transepidermal water loss and keep the under eye hydrated, but again you might want to be careful if you're prone to milia. In the evening as a barrier repair mask, slugging, putting a nice layer of Vaseline on your skin and just going to bed, I actually think this is an excellent idea. You want to make sure you're doing it on clean skin. You don't want to be locking in the dirt from the day or all your sunscreen and makeup from the day, so do your double cleanse, throw on a little bit of Vaseline."

It's the gold standard for treating numerous vascular lesions and it has clinically proven results for multiple skin types. I had three Vbeam treatments to help the discoloration of the scar area and to help it blend in with the rest of my neck and décolletage. This was a very targeted treatment that she did right along the scar. The Vbeam treatment is pretty intense and I was left with some bruising and pigment for about a week while it healed up, but after that the colors started to dissipate throughout my scar area and blend in with the rest of my neck and décolletage."

A laser is going to go much deeper and give you a much better surface retexturizing than a Dermaplane tool. The idea is to improve our mature skin by addressing texture. When you address texture it increases the smoothness of your skin and the light reflects differently, giving a more youthful appearance and a better glow to your skin.

Living Proof Triple Bond Complex

"I've been loving this treatment by Living Proof, it's a triple bond complex, very similar to the K18. The K18 irritates my scalp, this one does not, so I've been reaching for this about once a week to once every other week just for a little bond repair and smoothing, just to cut down on the frizz. So if you're having trouble with the K with irritation or not really doing what you want, give the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex a try."

Pillow Talk Durham De-Puffer

"The de-puffer from Pillow Talk Durham is especially wonderful if you have facial flushing. I've done a little video with a before and after putting this on and about five minutes you can visually see the reduction in flushing. If you use it over time it helps. It has arnica and ash bark, these are combination ingredients that have proven to help with darkness and redness in the skin. It's a gooey substance but it's really cool. The roller is really nice, you just roll it on in the under eye area."

What REALLY Grows Eyelashes Over 50? 6 Month Trial Using A NEW Lash Serum!

"I used RevitaLash which was great and I alternated it with the Bimatoprost for years, I think a good two years with nice results. My lashes were dense, my brows were dense, were slightly improved in color, so I was very happy with that combination until most recently they came out with the studies about the fat loss. I did the reading and it really seemed like that was a consequence of using prostaglandins. If you're using a prostaglandin-based lash serum over the counter, you want to make sure that you're monitoring for side effects because you're not necessarily being tracked by a physician, as opposed to Bimatoprost where you're being tracked by your physician because it's a prescription formula. The prostaglandins that come over the counter, you might not even know that they're in there, so please read your ingredient list and you might want to alert your ophthalmologist that you're using one or your primary care physician, and also take before and afters because the changes might be really subtle and you might not be noticing them."

"The Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream -- I have been loving this. It's almost empty. I've been using it all fall and all winter. It was a new find during the fall extravaganza when I went in to see what was new at Sephora for skincare. I found this, heard you guys talking about it, and I love it, too. The Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream is gorgeous. I use it as a hand cream. I use it as a nighttime cream. I'm doing the tria laser and my skin's getting a little bit dry and peely -- this has been perfect. I've been using this as a hand cream and I'm very happy with it, but it's not really designed for a hand cream. I've been putting the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream on top of a retinol hand cream to kind of lock in that moisture."

"Another moisturizer that I'm absolutely loving and I'm a bit surprised by is the Saki Balm by Educated Mess. This texture looks creamy, but watch the way it melts into the skin. Absolutely beautiful lightweight moisturizer. I started using it over the summer for just a lightweight moisturizer. It's one of those daily moisturizers that you can use year round depending on your skin's need. If you have normal to slightly dry skin, you can use this in the fall. I would say in the summer, those of you with oily skin probably are going to find this a bit heavy. And in the winter, those folks with oily skin are probably going to really enjoy this. It just sinks right into the skin. I just love this squalane-based formula because that is what my skin needs in the fall."

Milk Makeup Hydrogrip Gel Tint

"It sets in really nicely and kind of melts into my skin. If you find it too glowy, you can use a little bit of powder to tamp it down. There are lots of ways that you can tweak this formula to make it work for you whether you have normal or more dry skin. It's a skin tint that needs a bit of skin care. It's a nice bonus to have a few skincare ingredients in your tinted moisturizer or your skin tint, but would this replace my skincare routine? Absolutely not. This also has a little bit more coverage than I would prefer in a skin tint. I definitely like the beauty blender application technique because it's just a little bit more of skin peeking through for a no makeup makeup look. But if you like a medium coverage, you're probably going to like this and you would probably do best to apply it with your fingers and then maybe blend it out a little bit with a brush. I scored this a three out of five on texture because it claims to be weightless and it definitely isn't weightless on the skin. Even with my dry skin, I can feel this product by the end of the day. And if you have oily skin, you're definitely not going to like the fact that this feels a little bit heavy on the skin. Or if you live in a humid climate, you're probably going to not like the fact that this has a little bit more weight than it claims to have. For hydration, definitely a five out of five. My dry skin loves this without any additional moisturizers to kind of boost it up."

The tub is massive and I will never go through this product given how little you're supposed to use to get the effect that is recommended.

I'm terrible about getting little flecks on but it just doesn't clump the way other mascaras do. It's a very natural and flattering look. There's no transfer down to my lower eyelid and it just is such a pretty mascara."

RMS Beauty Cream Eyeshadow

"A makeup fail also from RMS Beauty, unfortunately, is their cream eyeshadow. I cannot get this to work on my mature eyes. It's just too metallic. It has a very metallic sheen, and that just doesn't set well with my mature upper lids. They're slightly crepey. They're very recessed. I'm going to pass this on to someone in my family who likes that more metallic look, the very young look. This one just isn't for me and my minimalist makeup vibe."

Giorgio Armani Liquid Eyeshadow

"I'm going to put the Giorgio Armani over the mobile lid for some sparkle, this is in the color shell. My eyes are pretty recessed so I like to give my mobile lid a little bit of a lighter color so it kind of comes forward. I am getting a lot of creasing with this. I don't remember that in the past."

Makeup Forever Eyeliner

"I'm going to use a liner today, this is by Makeup Forever, it's in the color ebony, so it should bring this whole look together. I'm going to do it in the lower lash line on either side and smudge it up so it kind of blends. See how that just kind of brought it together. For my waterline I'm going to use the color sand, it's also in Makeup Forever, but it just gives my waterline a bit of a pop. I have really small eyes, so tight lining with a darker color just tends to close up my eyes, but using a lighter color just gives them that pop. I'm also going to do a little bit in the inner corner just to brighten things up. It just kind of wakes up your eyes, especially in the evening."

This pencil also comes with a spoolie which is really nice so you can kind of fluff it out. You can just get some color and brush it in and fluff it out, or you can just do a single lash by using the really fine end and just doing a couple strokes to fill in your sparse spots. You can fill in kind of with some color and then go back in and if you have any sparse spots just do a few lashes. Then I use the spoolie to kind of brush it up because that natural brow look is in right now, brows filled in and brushed into shape."

Tarte Tartlet XL Tubing Mascara

"The Tarte Tartlet XL Tubing Mascara only got a one out of five for application. It was messy to apply and transferred, so I had to do a bit of cleanup. For appearance, honestly a one out of five. It was clumpy and didn't really look like it extended my lashes much at all. It didn't have that nice sleek individual lash look like I would expect a tubing mascara to have. As far as smudging, it got a three out of five. It did smudge and have a little bit of fallout, not too bad. For washability, it got a three out of five. It didn't take too long to wash it off, a little bit less long than some other mascaras, but the wash off wasn't what I expected for a tubing mascara."

I thought it would give at least, I mean it's just, it's barely there, which is fine, but the smell is a very strong coconut smell and it's slightly sticky and not very hydrating. So unfortunately, this was a fail for me and I'm not going to continue to use it because the scent is just a little bit too strong."

Milani Tubing Mascara

"The Milani got a two out of five score on the application because it applied very wet and it took a while to dry down, and it would transfer when I blinked so I had to do quite a bit of cleanup. The lashes are long but they're a little bit on the spiky side, not very natural looking. On the smudge ability, this only got a two out of five on the smudge factor. It did smudge off if you touched your lashes. For me, a mascara is number one if it doesn't have a high smudge factor. On washing off, it took five or six swipes, so I doused each eyelash in water and got them saturated like if I was in the shower and then I wiped them off to see if the tubes came off."

As far as smudging, it did smudge a touch and got a three out of five. For washability, it did not do well, it took a lot for me to get this off, it wasn't easy to wash off, and it didn't necessarily come off in exact tubes, so it also got a two out of five for wash off."

And you can see on the brush it's kind of getting clumpy. This was one of my 2023 favorite mascaras but I'm debating whether I'm going to repurchase it again.

I definitely like the brush on this, the fact that it's curved, but it's very spiky on the end, so if I get too low near my waterline it actually makes me blink really hard because it kind of pokes my eye. The brush is a little bit on the dangerous side, slightly spiky, but the mascara is very similar."

"The Tatcha Kissu lip mask has won my heart and it's not an inexpensive lip mask so I highly encourage if you're curious about this to get it during the sale. It does last forever. I prefer this as a lip mask when I'm getting ready in the morning to kind of soften up my lips before I do my makeup, and after my skin care, or if I'm not going to wear any lipstick that day I'll use this just to plump up my lips and hydrate my lips. Even though I've had a lip mask overnight which is heavier, this works perfectly under all my lip glosses and all my lipsticks."

"This is called their multi-acid milk peel AHA exfoliating solution. It is a very intense, in my personal opinion, especially as someone with sensitive skin, 15% glycolic acid. This gives me a tingle. It also has phytic acid, malic acid, and lactic acid and enzymes and squalane. If you've never used glycolic acid before and you want to try it, but you want to acclimate your skin to it, you can use this as a wash off mask. You can leave it on for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, work your way up, but then wash it off."

Flash mask

"The Flash Mask, which is also super intense, 15% glycolic acid with transexamic acid and glycerin. You put this jelly-like mask on, let it absorb for a few minutes, 30 seconds, whatever you feel like is tolerant for your particular skin type. Then you wash it off and then move in with the rest of your skincare routine, which should be very gentle because this is 15% glycolic. So you'll want to do moisturizing after that and maybe even include a facial oil. The Flash Mask is made to be washed off. You are not supposed to sleep in this."

"I'm not going to recommend the Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion. It is full coverage, so if you're into minimal coverage this isn't going to be for you. The reason I personally can't recommend it is the fragrance, it's not dissipating the way I would have hoped and I feel like I could probably smell this fragrance all day long and that's just not my preference. If you're okay with fragrance and you don't mind full coverage, then the Tirtir Mask Fit Red Cushion would be right up your alley if you're into full coverage makeup."

"I got nice results, it reduced my redness. Only thing that I want to let you know is if you have a large face the lights might not cover all the areas, it might be a little bit short on the side of your face. Also, this doesn't have an over-the-lip area whereas their new Series 2 does have lights over the lip area, which is my particular concern since I want to keep these lines at bay after having laser and spending that time, money and effort. I don't want my upper lip lines to come back, so that would be the only drawback, the size of this mask and the fact that it doesn't cover the lip."

DECIEM: THE ORDINARY & NIOD | Innovative Anti-Aging Skincare on a Budget

"The AHA BHA peeling solution does peel. It has 30% AHAs so it has a combination of lactic and glycolic but mostly glycolic. Glycolic is a very small molecule, it's an alpha hydroxy acid but it can penetrate into the skin a little bit more deeply. It's supposed to help with collagen production as well as exfoliation. But this is a very intense formula. I haven't used this in a while to be perfectly honest because my skin's been a little bit irritated and I've had to back off my exfoliation routine a little bit. If you want a great resurfacing treatment and you're very experienced with chemical exfoliants, you know how your skin is going to react to glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid, this could be a great solution for you at a really reasonable price. But quick reminder with all the exfoliants you need to do a patch test and you also need to wear your SPF."

Dermatology Exfoliating Body Lotion

"I know that a lot of people use this exfoliating body lotion by Dermatology for the body and I have started to but I have to be a little bit careful because this is a very high percentage, I believe it's 12% lactic acid, which is a little bit too high for me and I occasionally get a little bit of irritation. But if you have dry, flaky, creepy skin and you don't have any eczema or skincare concerns or broken barrier, you are going to love this. It is a fantastic moisturizing lotion and slightly exfoliating, especially for mature skin. I know tons of people that use and love this. I use it occasionally on my body but mostly for my feet and it has replaced my dermatonics foot soothing cream. I've been slowly introducing it into my treatment step for body exfoliation."

"It's a great exfoliation product at 12% lactic acid. If you have an open cut or something like that somewhere, it's going to give a tingle. And if you have dry, sensitive skin, it might give your body a tingle. I use it as an overnight exfoliating mask and then rinse it off in the morning because it does have a bit of a detectable scent. Kind of that typical lactic acid smell that you get in the higher percentage lactic acid products. My skin is soft and silky by morning. For my sensitive skin, dry skin, I would do this maybe once or twice a week for body exfoliation."

In fact, when I had some eczema earlier in the spring and summer, I wasn't able to tolerate this, but I have built up a tolerance to using this high percentage of lactic acid. It's a gorgeous body lotion if you want to soften the look of that creepy skin. I do use other exfoliating lotions, but this is definitely always in rotation. I love it and have highly recommended it for well over a year now. I started out using it just on my feet to soften the calluses on my feet. It works great for that too, and hands and elbows. If you have those rough bits around your elbows, this is great too. I actually passed it on to my older son who was having some buildup of callus on his elbows, and they're completely softened and the skin is completely renewed in that area. So super great formula, but the caution is that it does contain 12% lactic, so go easy if you have sensitive skin."

Best Skincare Treatments to Transform Mature Skin (Top 3 Devices & Top 3 In-Office Treatments)

"With the NuFace Trinity, I find I have to do a plate grip which is a little bit more stressful on my CMC joint. The microcurrent is going to give you that instant toned look and the nanocurrent is a deeper current that's going to work over time to help collagen and elastin production. Of course, all these devices only work if you use them consistently. I really love the app, it's relaxing, it makes intuitive sense, and it helps me explore other treatments that I might not use besides the one that comes with it."

"I'm keeping all my It Cosmetics and my BK Beauty brushes because I have more than enough and these are a bit worn out and just not really working as well as the IT Cosmetics and the BK Beauty brushes. These are definitely a little bit softer and they have more of a refined texture to the brush. If you're new to makeup you probably should just go with the IT Cosmetics they're a great bargain buy and you'll get a beautiful result without having to make such a huge investment, but those of you who are pros at makeup I'm sure can tell the difference between these two brushes and love your BK Beauty brushes."

"I'm going to come in with my BK Beauty brushes. These are the two that I always use for putting on eyeshadow. Sometimes I reach for this little guy if I want something a little bit more exact, but usually I use the smaller one. This is the 207 in the travel set for putting in my color correction, and then I use the fluffy brush for blending, and then the 203, I think it is, for putting in my shadow. And I just wipe it off in between and it seems to work fine. It's going to get blended in the end anyway, so I just rely on these two. These are from the travel set, which actually comes with five brushes, and I never reach for any of my other brushes anymore. The handles are a little bit shorter, so you get some good control."

Zip Halo Microcurrent Device

"After I'm finished with my LED, I come in with my Zip microcurrent device. I'm on the 30-day zip plan. You're always asking me whether you should do your red light first or your zip first. Honestly, for me personally, I like to do my LED red light therapy first and then move on to my microcurrent. That's just the way I like to do it. I feel like the red light therapy treatment kind of wakes me up. So, I do my LED first and then I move into microcurrent. I do a zip lift routine. Then I'll pop on my gel for my zip."

WINTER SKINCARE & MINIMALIST MAKEUP OVER 50 | GRWM

"Zip comes in the box ready to roll a 4 minute routine which is perfect, that's just the amount of time that I want to spend doing microcurrent in the morning. I start my Zip routine with a little bit of mist just to help prep my skin, gives some conductivity because it has a little bit of sea salt in it, and then I'm currently using the Zip silver gel and I find that I need two pumps of this gel whereas the gold gel I only needed one pump. What I love about the Zip gels is you don't need to reapply them like one to get them on, and using a mist helps with the glide like you can get your entire face and your neck covered in a couple pumps if you treat your skin."

Fuller Lips After 50? I Tested 30+ Glosses & Plumpers (Here’s What Really Works!)

"The Zip microcurrent device has a dedicated routine to get the lips plumped up and ready for lip skincare. Microcurrent for the lip area is very helpful. After doing your microcurrent routine, your lips will look plumper and they will also be more readily able to absorb the skincare that you're going to do next."

4 NEW and Exciting Updates to My Mature Anti- Aging Skincare Routine at 58 years old!

"The Zip Halo Microcurrent Device is a micro nanocurrent device. With microcurrent devices you usually hear about how it lifts and tones the face, but the Zip is slightly different because it has nanocurrent. When you're using a microcurrent routine like the Lift that comes right out of the box, you're getting both microcurrent and nanocurrent. Nanocurrent is that very very low current that mimics the current naturally occurring in our bodies. It's a very low-level current that you can't feel like microcurrent. Microcurrent you can kind of feel it giving that little tug on your muscles and that tingle, but nanocurrent you're not going to feel that. It penetrates deeper into the skin and it stimulates the cell to produce ATP, to produce collagen and elastin."

This is the Zip original which they're going to be phasing out and I just received the Halo this week so I've been enjoying trialing that out. The Halo is less expensive, delivers the same microcurrent and Nanocurrent, and is a little bit lighter weight. It also comes with this serum that's a little less intense than the original Zip serum. There are fewer ingredients, it's glycerin based."

Best Skincare Treatments to Transform Mature Skin (Top 3 Devices & Top 3 In-Office Treatments)

"I get a little lift in my brow after using it, I get a little sleekness to my jaw and cheekbone after using it, but I have to be continuous and over time I'm hoping to thwart off that loss of collagen and elastin so that it's better than it would be if I had decided not to use microcurrent. My favorite device is the Zip. You always ask me if I could only buy one device in the microcurrent category which would be, I would buy the Zip. Here's why: number one, they improve their technology and new releases without you having to buy a second device. It's through the app. It updates via the app. You don't have to keep buying a new device and getting a new release, so that is one reason this is an economical purchase. Number two, it's very ergonomic. I've had some of you say you have trouble holding different devices with arthritis. As a retired OT, I highly recommend the Zip if you have arthritis in your hands. It doesn't take a lot of pressure to hold on to the device. You can palm it in your hand and use it so many ways. You can use this to be a little bit more ergonomic. Another reason I love the Zip over some other microcurrent devices is because it has nanocurrent and microcurrent. Microcurrent is going to give you that instant toned look."

"My favorite microcurrent device of all time is the Zip Halo. The reason I love this the most is it's the most ergonomic. It's the one I reach for time and time again. Their gels are stupendous. My favorite one is the gold gel. It has wonderful skincare ingredients and the benefit of microcurrent is it will give a slight penetration to the skincare that you're using during your microcurrent session and help it penetrate a bit better. Out of the box it comes with a 4-minute routine. 4 minutes is the perfect amount of time that I want to spend on a daily basis."

"On your Zip app you're going to find both routines. The all-inclusive has nanocurrent and microcurrent, and it's going to be on Intensity 2, so it's kind of moderate. Both the lip routine and the all-inclusive are moderate routines. Soft microcurrents boost circulation and mimic lip plumping, we're not actually swelling the lip physically with the current, what we're doing is just increasing circulation to give the lip a fuller look. The all-inclusive routine is a 12-minute routine with medium strong microcurrent and then an energizing nanocurrent, perfect for right before you go out in the evening. It kind of gives your face that rejuvenated look."

BEST PRODUCTS FOR YOUR PM SKINCARE ROUTINE OVER 50 | This Routine Takes Your Skin To The Next Level!

"What is it about the Zip microcurrent device that specifically prepares our skin for sleep compared to other microcurrent devices? Typically we think of microcurrent as contouring, muscle toning, collagen building, giving that instant subtle lifted look, but Zip is different for one specific reason: it comes with nanocurrent. Nanocurrent is one billionth of an ampere whereas microcurrent is one millionth of an ampere, and the nanocurrent in the Zip is around 900 nanoamp. In the founders' favorite routine, you're not going to feel it like you will with microcurrent. It's very free flowing, there are no patterns necessarily as long as you keep the globes in contact with the skin for 5 minutes aside. It's really very open, relaxing, massaging, free flowing. There's no right, there's no wrong. Nanocurrent actually goes deeper than microcurrent. It's more gentle. It works over time. It also increases ATP, collagen, and elastin, but the benefits are cellular repair, cellular metabolism and health regeneration, cellular health regeneration, which are all features that help prepare our skin for sleep because as we're sleeping our body is resting and repairing, as well as our skin. So it puts it into that rest, repair, health generation mode. This is what makes the Zip particularly great for your evening skincare routine: it's the nanocurrent, and it's the only device."

"I'm going to slide up and around and orbit just to give a little lift to the brow area. And you can see how this microcurrent, even in just a one-off session, really helps kind of lift and open and wake up the eye area.

"If you're looking to invest in a microcurrent device this is my Holy Grail microcurrent device. I have tried like five or six, this is the one I'm always reaching for. This has a dedicated program within the app for the lip area and I was so excited to see that. It comes pre-programmed right out of the box. I love the zip gels because you use so much less, it doesn't dry out during your microcurrent treatment. You put it on and literally it is one and done."

Is Microcurrent in Your Anti-Aging Skincare Routine? Instant Fix + Lasting Benefits for Mature Skin

"The Zip Halo is actually much cheaper than the original Zip by about a hundred dollars. It's lighter weight, it's easy to see whether it's on or off, and it's usable right out of the box like you don't have to download the app to use it. The app is amazing because they have so many different programs. The one that comes out of the box is called lift, that's what I do almost every single morning. It takes four minutes, it's super easy, it just wakes up my face, increases circulation, drives some of these great skincare ingredients into my skin. I like the Halo a little bit more because it doesn't cause that muscle contraction in my face. It's very gentle and it also has the benefit of Nanocurrent."

It just wakes up my face, increases circulation, drives some of these great skincare ingredients into my skin, so for me it's just part of my morning routine. They recommend you do take a day off, so they recommend between four and six days a week for microcurrent. Why I like the Halo a little bit more than I do my other device is because it doesn't cause that muscle contraction in my face. It's very gentle. It also has the benefit of nanocurrent, which is one billionth of a micro ampere, and microcurrent is one millionth of an ampere, so this should not be causing muscle contraction."

Best SKINCARE DEVICES for Mature Skin 2024 (I tried Over 20 Devices Over 50!)

"I cannot tell you how much I love this device.

It's wireless and I just love the ergonomics of it, it's just easier to hold for longer treatments. I love the fact that it has nanocurrent, which is a waveform that goes a little bit deeper and works over time to build collagen. I love the instant lift that it gives. It's going to give you a slight tone effect, it's going to help with lymphatic drainage, it's going to give your skin what I call a perkup, and it's going to give your brow area just a little bit of a lift. That's temporary. Over time, I'm hoping that microcurrent can help maintain my collagen and elastin and the health of my skin because it improves circulation."

What Your Microcurrent Can Do for Dark Spots (That Nobody Talks About)

"If you think microcurrent is just for lifting and toning, you might be missing out on one of microcurrent's best-kept secrets. I'm showing you a 14-day targeted microcurrent routine that helps reduce pigmentation, even out skin tone, and brighten skin. It's perfect for mature skin dealing with sun damage and pigmentation. The entire program is on the website under the blog section. You just print it out and you have everything you need. All the routines within the program can be found on the app. The Zip has an intensity scale with low, medium, and high intensity, and they've even included a level two. The lift routine that comes with Zip straight out of the box doesn't need the app, and it's a level two. The instant gratification program is an intensity level three."

I did a whole video on the OneSkin for crepey skin on the body and I can't give it up. And honestly I haven't found anything that works better.

There is usually about a day or two days left, sometimes more, that will not come out if you don't slice this open and scoop it out. It just gets kind of stuck in the cap on the inside, the very inside bottom here, and you just can't get it out no matter how much you squeeze and bang. So always open up your body lotion, snip off the cap, and you'll at least get two to three more days out of them, if not more."

4 NEW and Exciting Updates to My Mature Anti- Aging Skincare Routine at 58 years old!

"Their eye cream has the proprietary peptide just like the facial supplement does. It's a little bit thicker but it has a more potent amount because this area of our skin is a little bit different than the rest of our face. They also decided to increase the amount of OS1 peptide and the potency of the eye cream because this is the area that really crinkles and wrinkles more than any other area. The OS1 peptide helps with our senescent cells. When our skin gets damaged it goes into either repair or it dies off, but it also can go into senescence where it no longer replicates because it has damage. It also starts the inflammation cascade. The senescent cells send out these signals so that our immune system can come in and sweep everything away."

I've just been discovering some more eye creams that I love a little bit more than this one, but it's still in my rotation."

"Their Advanced Eye Cream, is it the best eye cream I've ever tried? No. But it's nice, it hydrates and it does the trick. Do you need an eye cream? Probably not. Do I like an eye cream? I definitely do. So I do recommend this product.

I've been using my forever reusable eye mask so this isn't necessarily a fail but it's just not something I'm going to repurchase and I'm much preferring their HPR eye cream. I ran out of this and switched over to another eye cream that I've been testing for you guys."

"The advanced eye cream, I have not always been a fan of, and I'm going to tell you why: it is a cream formulation, but I was using it too heavily. You have to use the smallest amount of this and you have to warm it. It works best to warm it between your fingers and then apply it. It kind of transitions into a very lightweight gel-like formula. Be very sparing with this, and in combination with the brightening eye masks, you are going to have such a nice hydrating treat and you'll be ready to go with less puffy under eyes, less redness, super hydrated, and your concealer is going to look beautiful. This actually also has vitamin K which helps combat redness."

DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream

"This is their HPR eye cream. Love this. Now, some of you find this a little bit irritating because it does have hydropenic cologne retinoate, which is a vitamin A derivative. So, go slow. Just put a little bit on once a week and then if your skin can tolerate it, especially in that thin under eye area, increase to twice a week and so on and so on. A little hack you could do is put a little bit of the barrier night mask on in your under eye area and then pop on the HPR. That might be a great way to build up your tolerance more slowly."

One of my favorite all-time products that they launched I believe it was this past fall is their DRMTLGY HPR Eye Cream.

I honestly think it made a difference."

Dermatology Advanced Eye Cream

"I'm going to use the advanced eye cream and usually I combine the advanced eye cream with the eye masks but that combination gives you so many actives for the under eye area de puffing hydration. A third of a pump of this is exactly the amount that you need don't over apply under eye treatments because you really need so little and some people can't tolerate a cream in the under eye they prefer a gel this is a cream formula and I like to spread it up to my crow's feet."

They have niacinamide, they have hyaluronic acid, they're brightening, and they're also unique because you can either go this way with them and get a huge area in your under eye area, leave that on and just let it soak in, or you can flip them around and use them to get some softening and hydration and brightening along the crow's feet area. So you can use them in two ways, which I really think is amazing. They are a little bit on the slippery side, but it's lovely and brightening."

"The Perfect Hair Day is a dry shampoo that I use on occasion between washes. I also will use it occasionally right after washing just on the ends to give my hair some soft manageability and body. It cuts the frizz after I shampoo my hair. I've been loving this treatment by Living Proof. It's a triple bond complex, very similar to the K18, but the K18 irritates my scalp and this one does not, so I've been reaching for this about once a week to once every other week just for a little bond repair and smoothing, just to cut down on the frizz."

CurrentBody Current Body Laser Hair Removal Device

"I just recently started using the Current Body. This is a laser hair removal device whereas the IPL removed about 80% of my hair, this device removed closer to 90%. I do have a couple treatments to go, maybe I will get 100% hair removal, but I really love this device. But it is pricey compared to the more economical IPL device. So it kind of depends on your budget and kind of depends on your goals. If you're happy with 80% hair removal then I would go for the IPL. If you're like I want to get rid of everything or close to everything then I would go for the laser device by Current Body. Just make sure it has a really great return policy and read the contraindications and check out the device before you go to purchase. This does have some contraindications, you can't use it on certain skin tones and you can't use it for very light and red hair."

You cannot separate out any of the light modalities, but it is tried and true and probably the most clinically backed for LED red light therapy. They make professional medical grade devices and that's how they started out and then they came out with their mask. So if you're looking for something tried and true, maybe you're a beginner to red light therapy and you're not quite sure where to start, this one that's been around the block multiple years is probably a good choice."

"I chose to use LED red light masks and I used the current body mask at the very beginning and then switched over to the Omnilux mask. Both of these provide the correct dose at the near infrared and infrared levels so I felt comfortable using each of these interchangeably. I did stick to the Omnilux mask and also use their neck and décolletage mask. I chose to use the masks number one because they both give the correct dose for the anti-aging benefits that we're looking for and they're both super convenient and portable. The Omnilux mask has more LED red light bulbs and it's slightly larger, so if you have a larger face it kind of goes around the side and definitely gets the side of your face and part of your ear."

It does have a really cool applicator, one you have to twist to get it to come out, and it's kind of like a jelly form, and then you let it dry down and you have to put the thinnest of layers on and you apply it to your neck or your decolletage and it's supposed to kind of just tighten things up.

I like skin peeking through even if there are a few flaws in my under eye area. This was just a little bit too much coverage for me, and it also dries down pretty matte. Even if I hydrate my under eyes, I find this formula just a little bit too matte. Even when I share it out, use some hydration products before it, it just is a little bit too much coverage and settles in my lines just a little bit more than I would prefer."

"I was actually pleasantly surprised by this formula. It gets a 4.2 ranking on Ulta and the cost is super reasonable at $11 an ounce. As soon as I opened this product I did smell alcohol and alcohol denat is the fourth ingredient, which may or may not be a problem for some of you. As far as coverage, it's not as light as I'd expect for a skin tint, but of course it is claiming to be very longwearing and when it's longwearing it's going to have a higher level of pigment. The finish is radiant, it's not too glowy, it looks super healthy on the skin, not greasy, not tacky. The texture felt nice, it wasn't too heavy, very lightweight, easily blendable. They added in a vitamin C derivative, a sorrel glucoside, and in studies this is shown to be beneficial for skincare."

Botox Botox

"Botox is a neurotoxin that freezes the muscle so you can't contract or you can contract less. There's been a big push to do smaller treatments of Botox so we don't get that frozen look and that's what I love. I can still move my brows and scowl a little bit. I only get Botox now every 6 months that's what's comfortable for my budget and that's what's working for me. Some people get it every 3 months some people get it every 4 months. It's a treatment that you do have to keep up with obviously. If you're somebody who already has a line formed in the middle of your forehead because you frown so much but you start getting Botox let's say at 35 because that line already formed, when you hit 55 that line will not be as deep and it might not be apparent at all because you've prevented it from actually getting deeper over time."
