Keep it simple cleanse tone moisturise maybe include a vitamin c in the morning and a retinol at night and exfoliate as many times a week that your skin can handle...Thanx Trinny love these skincare chats...♥️🇦🇺
Thank you for this topic! I’ve never understood what went first, now I understand the why- the reason they need to go in that order. I agree that the sooner you can begin proper skin care, the better it is. I’m 58 and I don’t have any real issues with my skin, except you can see all the damage that has been done to it. So I’m on this skin care journey and you helped me understand so much more.
I think the one thing that is important is that there are some things that dermatologists agree on (things like no fragrance & no alcohol in products), there are some things that dermatologists have different opinions. I am following dr Dray on CZcams and she insists we need a very simple skincare routine. Herself is only have a 2 steps routine and does not wash her face in the morning. She is not using face sprays (she calls them perfume in a bottle), serums or Vitamin C. I tried her routine and my skin is SO MUCH better. Previously I thought that the dryness is due to aging, but indeed I think I had contact dermatitis from all the products that I used to pile on my face. I am still intrigued by all the products that come to the market, but I stop myself buying them because I know that my face is now in a better state that it's been for years. Sunscreen & prescription tretinoin is the magic due for me, combined with hyarunic acid (no facial mist though, only water!), a simple cream with no fragrance or alcohol and loads of sunscreen. I do Vitamin C when I do my dermarolling but not every day. I am using up my BHA serum but once finished, I won't repurchase it because the tretinoin should be enough for me. Unfortunately loads of "skincare specialists" are encouraging us to use a lot of products, but I think it doesn't work for all of us.
Hyaluronic acid will be virtually ineffective if it is applied to dry skin in a dry environment. HA absorbs water from the surface of your skin or in the air, and when the HA is absorbed into the skin it takes the water with it, hydrating the skin. Osmosis is the movement of water and will always travel from a high concentration to a low concentration. So if the air around you is dry and not humid then the water will evaporate out of your skin. This is called transepidermal water loss which is further induced when the skin barrier is damaged from over-cleansing or over-exfoliating. Therefore, once HA has been applied to damp skin, it needs to be sealed/locked in with a thick occlusive that is fatty/lipidic such as shea butter or an oil. If you neglect to do this step then applying the HA would be futile and if the air around you is dry (such as in the winter) then it will dehydrate your skin even more as the water will evaporate from the skin and into the air. Furthermore, different size molecules of HA will penetrate to different layers of the skin. Large molecules will stay near the surface and small molecules will penetrate to deeper layers. You need to find a product with a mixture of sizes in order to hydrate all layers. My simple routine in the morning is to splash face with cool water and pat dry. Apply a Vitamin C - I also like the Garden of Wisdom ones. And then an SPF 50 - I like La Roche Posay Shaka Fluid sunscreen. In the evening, I cleanse with CeraVe cleanser; exfoliate every other day with Biologique Recherche Lotion P50; I then dampen my skin with Avene thermal water (clean water with minerals) and hydrate with The Ordinary Buffet serum; once absorbed I apply Adapalene cream (prescription retinol) and then I either use La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm or an oil from The Ordinary.
Trinny I love your videos. You are so informative and lovely. What about 64 year old skin? Mature skin baffles me. I now suffer from dry skin and now eczema on my eyelids. Such changes.
I have heard that hyaluronic acid needs to put on damp skin and then something more occlusive in top to hold in moisture and also better used in more humid vs dry climate. I have experimented with this. Thanks for video Trinny - so fun and I agree with so much. I am 50 and skin changes!
Trinny I love your energy, your positivity and your direct approach in sharing your knowledge and a big distant Hug in answering so many questions everyday!!This is very off topic yes your skin is flawless (in awe) sure we can all agree on that but your arms are also so well toned! Do you have an arm workout posted somewhere ?
Very informative & helpful. I’m still feeling overwhelmed with everything that is out there. I had bad acne through my 20s & 30s. Now in my 60s I actually need some moisturizing, but still have oily tzone skin. It’s been hard striking a balance between hydrating my skin & not feeling oily an hour later. Love all your suggestions. Thanks.
Hi Trinny, I love your videos and watch every single one of them. Is there any way you can avoid the mirror images of the products you use? I find it quite hard to read the labels. Or it'll be helpful if you could list the product names in the description. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 😇
Golly, this is so helpful, thank you! Is there any chance you could do a post on sun protection for your skin? The number of products out there is intimidating.
Can't always understand the names of the products you mention, would be great if you could spell the name if you don't want to make a list for the notes.
Instead of buying the quite expensive vitamin C powder from Dr Sebagh, you can buy ascorbic acid powder at the supermarket (usually at the spice shelf) and put in yr cream. The vitamin C in creams oxidize and probably aren't that active, better to buy it in ampulls for fresh and active vitamin C
LabMuffin science Beauty also has a DIY recipe you can make with ascorbic acid. Really easy, and cheap as you like. Make every 10 days or so, spay as liberally as you can.
Skincare is complicated AF. So true. I think it’s because we all look for the one size fits all solution to looking and feeling fabulous and the truth is our skin needs vary dramatically.
I think the basics still apply .I don’t think a great deal has changed . Most of us stick with tried and true for ourselves . I still use scrubs with small particles .Diet plays a part and obviously sun smart, not smoking 😊
I think there comes a time when an Rx is the only way to go. I used Perricone for years and looked 15 years younger than my age. But when I hit 45 I started to age. (some of it I am sure was due to medical conditions I developed) I added Retin-A.. helped a bit. Started on Obagi… helped a bit more. But THEN I started on a prescribed protocol of ZO Skin Health and my skin transformed. I will be 50 this year and I have zero lines/wrinkles/sagging/sun spots and I do not need to wear foundation. I only wear his tinted 50 SPF sunscreen and my skin glows. Never had an injection of anything - it is all down to his research and products. For people who have a lot of damage to their skin, he does this deep peel which completely transforms the skin. Takes years off AND it does not thin the skin. All his products work to make the skin stronger, thicker and act like young skin. I can attest that this is indeed true. I don't even need a moisturizer because my skin behaves as it did when I was young. Such a simple protocol - I love it. BTW, I am really looking forward to my Trinny E2E, Lip to Cheek, and bronzers that should arrive on TUESDAY! I have been following Trinny London since the launch and I love how these creme colors can be applied to sheerly. It is going to be nice to have makeup that enhances my healthy glow instead of my usual powders that matte it down.
Ive just learned I have an onion allergy,allicin. So I now have to avoid things like mugwort,lilly and orchid. My latest accidental encounter with onions landed me in A&E! Do your research ladies!! We need to take responsability for ourselves. Skincare can contain some crazy things.
I’ve got combination skin I feel I use to many products but how to layer them properly. Cleaning, exfoliate, vit c, haluronic, niacinamide, anti redness, moisturizer, spf and then foundation. Gosh by then my skin feels like I have a ton of products . Please help
My order of Trinny London BFF is on it’s way...so excited! Let me add your match2me process on the website is spot on and smart. At night, do you apply retinol before or after moisturizer?
Hi Tammy, I'm not a dermatologist but ideally on cleansed skin that is completely dry. Start slowly and build up to every night ( depends on % and type that you're using) You can use moisturiser on top if need be, depending on skin type. If you need to buffer the retinol use moisturiser first... Hope this helps
Thank you this was so helpful but just wondering if the Sunday Riley CEO cream acts as a moisturiser or do I need something else as well. I really love your videos.
I was watching one of your videos and one of the videos said you had a place where you list your favorites. Where can I find that? I looked on Trinny London but I didn’t see them.
Trinny can you talk about acids a bit more..? especially the ones that Dr Julia Hunter prefers (Mandelic in particular) and how and when to use them? The short outines are pinpointed but A bit confusing the order of all the extra little things and where they go and if they contrast. For example can I 1-cleanse, 2-use mandelic, and then 3-retinoid, and then what else? thanxx
Great info so information. Can you please list the products as it hard to recall all the names. Did you mention or have done a video that is specifically for Rosacea ?
Thank you Trinny....!! Am So happy your back doing these videos again, I know you have always been doing them but I loved you in your bathroom and I love these videos where you just chat about life and skin care !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Denise Younger I’ve just started using it, I get pilling when I apply my moisturiser afterwards, I’ve tried lots of different moisturisers and I’ve tried waiting 15 mins to an hour before applying but I still get the damn pilling, I’m guessing it must be how thick The ordinary vit c is , will have to try a different brand to see.
Hello ladies. I am commenting here even if this is an older post, because this is topic related. I have ran into troubles with my routine and it is time to change. And switch from leve 2 interest to level 3 obsessed :). But not sure what to get. I am 39, a bit oily a bit shiny, pores and occasional breakouts. The face starts a bit to sag, nalo-labial more and more obvious. I am contemplating Omorovicza and Lixirskin. It is quite an investment so I am asking for pointers.
I keep buying things and then I don’t know how to put them in my routine . I wish there was somewhere I could name all my products and someone to make me a routine ❤️
Like Trinny said, get your skin clean and exfoliated and then start to apply your serums/actives and then moisturiser is last step. If you get confused then try to apply lightest to heaviest. Consider the texture of the products - is it lightweight and watery or thick and oily? Water-based serums will go first, then gels, then creams, then oils on top. Oils are the top layer that goes last because they seal everything in. Remember that if oil goes first then anything you put on top of it will fail to penetrate. You might have noticed in the kitchen that oil will always sit on top of the water and won't mix in! Hope that helps?
I have learnt so much over the past 3years about proper skincare. My skin thanks you and so do I

For mature skin I wouldn't exfoliate too often

Dr Dray applies makeup to dirty,sweaty skin?!
@@pheart2381 She doesn't really do make up, from what I've seen on her channel.

So, if you were to apply a hylauronic acid in a warm damp bathroom, after a shower, that would increase the efficacy?
Yes
@@amberatartimec2564 Yep that's exactly right and would be the perfect time to apply HA! :)
Trinny I love your videos. You are so informative and lovely. What about 64 year old skin? Mature skin baffles me. I now suffer from dry skin and now eczema on my eyelids. Such changes.
Timeless vit C is also affordable. I have found it much better for my skin than GOW x

I am using the ordinary 30% vitamin c, I put my hyaluronic on before my vitc but you put it on after, ami doing it wrong? Xx
I'm using the same but the vit C tingles like hell!!!
Mixed views, can you do vitamin c with Niacinamide?? Some say you can these days as the vit c is more stable now 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you Trinny....!! Am

So sorry to hear 💕
What were the other hydra tor’s?
Sorry to hear about your Mum Trinny. My grandmother has Alzheimer's, hope the tea party went well. xx

What do u think of the ordinary powder vit c?
Denise Younger I’ve just started using it, I get pilling when I apply my moisturiser afterwards, I’ve tried lots of different moisturisers and I’ve tried waiting 15 mins to an hour before applying but I still get the damn pilling, I’m guessing it must be how thick The ordinary vit c is , will have to try a different brand to see.
What is that blue sponge type thing you use on your face?
I think it’s a Foreo (Luna?).
