Do you recognize that you are also genetically blessed?
All people are not as fortunate.
Thank you for this comment. I wanted to address this, but I was being conscious of the video length as it was, and I was trying not to ramble on and on. (So I'll do that here, right now, lol)...The facial features I possess are the result of my genetics, yes. But as far as the prevention of visible aging and disease, what matters more (the most, in fact) is lifestyle; epigenetic factors-our personal habits & consistent routines (how we live). This is not my idea or opinion but confirmed fact; widely available in the scientific literature. The crux is that people have to actually DO the things. Many would rather not, or they lack the self-discipline to adhere to routines, or they are non-compliant in another way, for any number of reasons. People (including myself!!) are generally always going to look for a quick fix or instant or overnight result-be it with their skincare, their health; anything. In my experience, however, the truth of the matter is that it requires a deep commitment to a desired, specific outcome and adherence to an efficacious routine in order to achieve success. It’s also true that most often, when any of us see success in ANY area with a certain individual, it’s very likely a combination of many factors that has yielded that whole person which we see before us (it’s never just one thing). I can say that, for example, when both my mother and I implemented time-restricted feeding (about 5-6 years ago now), we both noticed an extremely marked difference in our appearance. So our eating lifestyle alone seems to “freeze” time. Truly amazing, but we wouldn’t have ever known that unless we actually tried it ourselves and practiced it for long enough (not just one day or one month, or even one year, but a LONG time). The same is true with skincare efficacy as it pertains to the visible signs of aging. Many people want or expect a particular result in two weeks, or two months, or six months. It just doesn’t happen like that. These things take time and patience and a lot of boring routine and the dullness of waiting. But it’s worth it, is my point. If you have a certain goal in mind, then it’s definitely worth the time, energy & effort you invest in said goal for you to reach your desired outcome. But, all of this being said, I completely understand that it’s entirely optional (as is all of this, lol). Ultimately it (anything in life, actually) comes down to each individual and what they’re willing to invest, so to speak.
Thank you Jennifer for reply. Appreciate it. I have been doing for many many years similar to what you do. I am also very disciplined, like you are.
Just meant that still I can never look as good as you do , due to genetics.
Too bad for me 😐. But I still look good 🤩
@@JenniferMyers Are u married? Plz don’t mind i just wanted to know bcoz i heard that, during pregnancy time and even if planing for pregnancy we can't use Tretinoin cream, you are the regular user of tretinoin so i just wanted to know abt it... Plz reply 😑
That’s correct: You’re not to use topical vitamin A products of any kind if you’re trying to conceive or while pregnant and breastfeeding.
@@JenniferMyers Thank you sooo much for reply ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also the way you barely move your face muscles, I think that contributes to your really amazing skin
She’s just so beautiful. Her face is perfectly symmetrical and her skin and eyebrows, eyes look like she came out from a drawing. Also, love how she doesn’t waste time and answers the questions right away. Thank you so much for telling us everything.
no you can see when she opens her mouth/smiles, her mouth goes up more on the left side.
@@xhshgfsrodriguez4857 Jesus Christ, are we really going to break people down to small asymmetries like that? How bored you must be.
Agree!!
@@hampstercrazy well yeah... everyone is asymmetrical :/ i wasn't trying to be rude its just a fact. shes not remarkably symmetrical. she looks great tho
@@xhshgfsrodriguez4857 it's ok to be asymmetrical (of course it depends, but mostly). When did the world become so obsessed with symmetry. It's a shame. Elvis was cute and he did this asymmetrical thing with his face that pleased everyone at the time. That's just an example.
I believe this new worry comes from marketing and the rise of plastic surgery. I think it makes people too obsessed with details and less attentive to charm, charisma and aura of a person.
Don't ever be shy about speaking your opinion, darling. Offending just means that you said something important, and you'll never please everyone. I know you know this, I just think it bears iteration. I love plastic surgery, though, but I do agree that there's a pervasive, plastic look.

Hi Jennifer! Thanks for this Q&A! ❤ Have a great day. 🤗
Hi Jennifer, loved your video, very informative. How much water do you normally drink? Your skin looks very healthy, BTW. Do you sleep all 8 hours of night, you have no under eye dark circles? Do you take supplements for sleep? Just curious.
Awsum
Advice on dark circles ?
Hello, and thanks. I think it's largely hereditary (I'm speaking of dark circles). I don't consume sugar in my daily diet, also, which is a known inflammatory agent that lends to darkness around the eyes. I don't drink alcohol, either. I know that definitely helps (my entire lifestyle as a whole contributes). I drink water when I'm thirsty; and also upon waking. I don't take supplements to aid in sleep, no.
You look like you’ve barely aged since your teenage years! Also though I imagined you’ve always been athletic, I never would have guessed that you were a cheerleader, that’s amazing! I appreciate you addressing these questions and the way you’re always to-the-point. ♥️
My jaw hit the floor when I saw that you’ve been using it for over 20 years and you stated it was half your life. I would’ve never guessed. I seriously thought you were in your 20s!
I feel that the discussions around artificial interventions are heating up. There are many women who decided not to go back to dying their hair (once salons reopened after the pandemic-related shutdowns), and I believe that women embracing gray hair is a big first step. When we have women such as Paulina Porizkova and yourself showing the beauty of aging without surgical intervention. For those who want it -- great! But I think that we have to stop the nonsense of thinking that aging is something to be feared. If we embrace a healthy diet (different for everyone) and a healthy lifestyle, these few topical "interventions" will work even better.
I lit up when you smile. Such honesty on everything you say
I’m so happy that you are posting more and more❣️❣️❣️
I'm a medical professional, and I can tell you haven't had dermal fillers, Botox, or plastic surgery. It is very easy for me to tell when someone had work done on their faces. Even though I'm a skin medical professional
I'm not a friend of facial procedures such as dermal fillers and botox, and that includes plastic surgery, but I do vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients meso therapy on my face.
This month I will be 64 years old, I preserve my youthful looks due to the way I was raised, my parents will hire doctors to to give us natural injections of vitamins and other nutrients, I have done isometric facial workouts since I was a child thanks to my mother. My parents were very much involved with nutrition. I explain a little bit of background in my recent video.
Stay GORGEOUS because you are ❤
wow.... I have been botched by fillers and hyalase and especially hyalase + a cream that contains hyalase and a bit of lipase ate my face. Do you think I can get the fat of my face back please and how ? I've aged 15 years in a few months. Thanks
I love your frequent uploads!! thank you
I love she straight away start the video with q&a
I'm happy that you share your honest, personal opinion.
Thank you for being here with us !
Love how discipline you are💕
you are such a calm and humble person. i love your personality. thank you for posting Jennifer I get so happy to see your videos :)
Thank you for your honesty. You are a true beauty, inside and out. 🙂
That whole bit about aging gracefully really resonated with me.
Jen, thanks for sharing photos. You and your mother - just gorgeous and absolutely stunning.
You inspired me to embrace my natural beauty and simplicity
my favorite notification is Jennifer uploaded a video 😻👏✨
Thank you for all your tips. Hope you have a great weekend ❤️✨
Loved that you included the slideshow at the end! You have such a beautiful family! Thank you for this helpful video and including time stamps✨
Thank you so much for doing this Q & A.
Very informative! You've really helped me to create a simpler morning & evening routine. Love your videos.
Beautiful in and out! Sometimes I come to hear her voice so calming
I love your personality, your beauty, your calm way to explain everything, your sweetness! thank you for sharing with us your knowledge
The best and honest beauty expert on TH-cam may God bless you ❤️
I love the fact that you stick to basics. Not everyone has the time, patience or even money to maintain a 10 step skincare routine.
No one needs 10 steps (unless you have a particular issue, but most don't). 10 steps is marketing to sell us stuff. Clean, and one or two products adapted to one's particular skin and that's it
Off topic, but I want to say how much I love hearing you talk about your mother -- and your family.
Please always stay true to you...honest and upfront. Opinion is opinion some will agree and others will disagree and that's perfectly fine ..love your channel.
Nice to see you back
Is so nice to look and listen to you...you are very authentic human❤
You're like the wise bestfriend! We all listen closely to what you have to say. Such a treasure!
You beautiful. I don't know you but you seem such a beautiful soul. Thank you for all the info. I am 63 years, just started Retin A (6 months already) and can already see a difference.
You sold in the first video I watched. Now, I'm watching for your calming effect - even as you talk about our faces peeling off.
Hi Jennifer, I use the same percentage of retin a and have used it for 14 years 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for this video and your realness. It's so refreshing and rare to hear a woman who shares the same view about beauty/aging as I do. Nothing beats natural beauty and aging gracefully. Btw, you are stunning.
You're beautiful inside and out. Your pictures show what a timeless beauty you are. I thoroughly enjoy your content and vibe.
Hello Jennifer I love all your videos and the simplicity of your skincare routine. Please keep doing videos, they inspire me to do better and your videos are so soothing to watch and listen to. I started using RetinA last because of you and it has helped my Keratosis Pilaris on my face tremendously, my face is so much smoother. I love the videos you did with your mom. I’m very close to my mom, she’s my best friend. If possible, I would love to see a video of your mom sharing her AM and PM skin care routine and the products she uses. You’re doing an amazing job! I’m excited to see more of your videos. Thank you and take care. 😊
This video shows how good you were raised.Most credit goes to your parents who raise you that way. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Girl, don’t ever be sorry for speaking your opinion! I feel the same way, I’m way too much of a control freak to risk getting botched by plastic surgery/injections. I prefer to stick with topicals and make myself look like the best version of myself. Including imperfections and natural aging!
same here!! i believe that botox and fillers make you look older and everyone looks the same i really don’t like that look
Jenni you are such a VIBE✨
I really like how your videos are to the point and are just so crisp and clear !!!
Honestly speaking i started my tretinoin journey because of you..i got to learn so many unspoken things from you!
I was 19 when I started tretinoin now i am 21!! I will surely continue to take care of my skin and myself!! Thank you so much Jennifer ❤️
You don’t need any work done… your are absolutely beautiful already!!
I love what you said about aging and that you will look at your face when older and love it . I have had no work done and feel I will never need to . I eat a healthy diet use tret and am am young and feel beautiful. Learning to love yourself is the first step and with that comes wanting to take care of your body by what you eat and exercise and skin care . You are what you think you are xx
You are wonderful, Jen. Your channel has really inspired me to be the best version of myself. Thank you. ❤
You are gorgeous.. I love every your video.. To much love from Serbia, Jen 🇷🇸♥️😊Thank you 🙏🏼💕
Thank you for sharing all of this with us! 🧡🙏🏻
Great video! My skin care is simple as well, I have sensitive skin and less is best for me ! I love using trention and moisturizer and a good cleanser .
I so love your openness, you talk about many very important things, like self-discipline (this is what is usually taken for genetics), patience, everyday self care, listening to your body, nourishing your body (your food that you eat is not poisonous), there are just so many aspects to preserving beauty, inner calmness, control over stress, etc. And yes unfortunately less and less women are capturing all this, understanding how it all works together and having the results that you do🌹🥰🌹you are our modern Cleopatra who is generously sharing her secrets out of pure kindness and goodness 🥰🙏🌹
I love your personality! You are so unique and outspoken. I appreciated the way you shared your opinion on Botox and fillers. Stay true to yourself, I respect your take!
You're such a natural beauty! I love these informative skincare videos. I've been using tretinoin for a couple years now and am looking forward to my journey well into my 40s (I'm 28 now). I hope to age as gracefully as you and you look young as ever! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's a breath of fresh air. 💙
You do really look younger when you get older! Wow I am impressed!
You Are The Reason To Motivate Me And Select Retinoid Cream And I Cannot Thank You Enough For The Brilliant Decision Making Suggestion, You Have Changed My Life Thank You So Much God Bless You, You Are An Angel To Me.. 💐
Thank you for such an informative video! I really enjoyed this!
You’re so amazing Jen. So proud to find someone on internet who’s genuine & truly real. More power to you . Xx
Love your name
Hey Jennifer. I love your videos and find comfort in hearing what works for you and your advice with sticking with simplicity and things that work for each individuals best. I was wondering if you had experienced "purging" when you started the regiment of Tretinoin? I currently have combination skin with an occasional hormonal blemish and wanted to know if it ever effected you in the beginning. I hope you have a good end to the year.
I would love to see a video with your sister and her skincare experience!
Thanks for sharing, Jen. The pictures are precious...and really shows how well Tretinoin works, you seem to have hardly aged!
Your sister and mother look so gorgeous!~ y'all really look great :') and I heavily agree with what others said, and it has only become more obvious with the high school pictures, but you really have hardly aged since then, it's actually incredible.
👏👏👏you're the best and the most honest ❤
Watching you do your skincare routine is cathartic for me lol. And an absolute inspiration to be faithful to my skincare routine. Thank you, Jennifer 💎
Thank you. Stay with the course, Courtney. Consistency (habit/routine) leads to the most success.
Hi Jennifer! One thing that you speak about is consistency, which I really think is key. Consistency with effective ingredients and above all, simplicity. Dermatologists talk about this all the time; the people who tell us that we need more than 2-3 products are precisely the ones trying to sell them to us! Thank you!
Good Morning. You explained it perfectly, vanity we are all vain in some form or another. I too use retinol, I'm 53 in 3 weeks no injectables, no fillers, no invasive treatments. I too choose a topical treatment. Its a choice! To each their own.
Any opinion is a judgement...
I do obtain much from you. Jennifer, you are wise beyond your years.
You look good for 53!
@@candykitty1 🌸💞Thank you! Happy New year!
I am 50 and I have decided never to have anything done to my face. It is very difficult, because socially there is pressure to look a certain way. Xxx You are very beautiful x
Hi Jennifer! I love your channel! What brand of castor oil do you recommend for under the eyes?? Thank you!
Omg, your routine is so simple. I just found you (again, saw your videos a few years ago but I wasn’t that interested in skincare) I just bought a bunch of skicare products but well, I guess I will try your routine once I finish all this. 😅 I want to try it because is simple and give you results. Promise I will stick with it .
You are lovely 🥰 I love listening to what you have to say, so insightful. Thank you
You are so welcome.
You are lovely, Jennifer - I just discovered your channel and have been binge-watching your videos.
I'm 43 years, I've never ever used makeup or any thing.. I started to use retinol every now and then, but now I want to commit to look good for my son graduation. Thanks from Jordan.
I could not be more thankful to you because you are one who introduced me to this wonderful golden level of active product and it's been almost 3 years skin care journey with tretinoin and my skin is healthy, glowing , glass like! And really prevent early signs of aging.. ✨
Ps. You are good role model to me because you so mindful of aging process and I like the way you believe in preventing and aging gracefully 💫
Awwww the pictures 😍😍😍😍😍😍 So beautiful ♥️
I totally agree with you! I will do retinol and other topical treatments, but never anything invasive! My mom lived to 92 and had beautiful skin. I have used sunscreen religiously since I was 23 (I'm 59) and think that it is the best anti-aging product. I started tretinoin 2 years ago and use Altreno and Differin with great results. You are a beautiful person, and I love your channel and simplicity 💙
Thank you for answering my questions about percentage! I can say Differin gave me a new face within 1 year of use. Way less acne, smooth skin, brightness and glow. It looks flawless.I wish I discovered it when I was younger and full of spots. Now trying tret 0.025 + 4% niacinamide. I think I'll try 0.05% next if I can tolerate it and then make a comparison to Differin. And yes Differin is easier to get. My goal is mainly to control acne and keep enjoying this beautiful smooth even skin that I thought I could never have - not so much controlling fine lines and wrinkles (I hate the term anti ageing, ageing happens weather we fight it or not and it's a privilege to age), so I am happy to use skincare but not interested in botox/procedures either.
Loved loved loved this video I think you always tend to to make a video I need to hear I am one of those people who switch products all the time but I will now stick to my products and be patient quick question do you apply the tretinoin on your upper lip that is my worst area thank you so much again for great content and keep making videos please
Hello Jennifer your skin is beautiful thank you for sharing. You said that you alternate differin and tretinion gel just purchased differin so trying to get idea of how to alternate. Also is your tretinion gel the microsphere or just gel? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated? I have used tretinion cream 0.05% for over 2 yrs i am 48 yrs old but told I look 30. I still deal with minor breakouts and hyperpigmentation so thats why I just started adding differin. But mainly using for anti-aging benefits. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for sharing your experience over the years with tretnoin and your opinions ❤ you are very beautiful 😍 ..thanks for sharing the lovely pictures..I will be turning 29 coming February I would love to see how you looked at the age of 28 and 29.
Thank you for sharing,your skin is beautiful .
The teen pics are adorable! I can relate a little bit as you're the same age I am (I'm 40 as of this post).
I discovered your channel almost by accident by the way.
I recently found your channel while searching for help with retinol use. You have helped me so much with your results driven sensible approach. I am beyond sick of the fake beauty influencer “that girl” garbage that drives us into buying tons of expensive products that we don’t need and don’t work any better than good basics. Your channel is like a breath of fresh air and I love your honesty and realness. Slowly making my way through your episodes. Thank you.
thank you for sharing those pictures. its interesting because you looked very mature as a teenager but now you look very youthful. i just started using retin-a bc of you and hopefully will keep up with it for the next 30 years!
I wore too much makeup in my teens!! I wore foundation, powder over that, eyeliner and mascara, and lip color; and (as you can see, lol) my application was, well, shall I say...unfortunate. I don't wear makeup anymore, and I swear that it shaves about 10 years off. Also, I'm killing two birds w/one stone, because it saves my skin the additional rubbing involved in makeup removal; especially not wearing eye makeup has, I believe, immensely preserved my skin.
Thank you for the info .. over 20 years ago I was impatient as my acne face was pretty bad and I saw a friend of mine use Vaseline on her face only and it just so pretty on her . I been wanting to do this for a very long time since now my skin clear up . Thank you so much for reminding me :-) I just order my Cerave ointment and getting ready to do this journey bible .
Hi Jenn!!!!. You look amazing!!!. I am wondering what do you use on your eyelids because i cant see you have wrinkles!
Thank you for your videos, for your wise sharing🙏🙇♀️
You look just as beautiful..thank you Sharing pics!
I’ve been using tretinoin and I’ve found Weleda Skin Food to be the best rich moisturizer to counter the peeling or dryness. I highly recommend it to not just people using tretinoin but in general! It’s a miracle product!
Great video!I What body lotion do you use? ❤️
This is really informative, thank you Jennifer! I have a question. Is it advisable to use retin-A on dry skin? I really want to introduce it in my routine, but I'm afraid it won't be proper for my skin type. Should I combine it with a very good moisturiser?
Can you please make a video specifically about the under eye care and how to get rid of wrinkles , fine lines etc .
Thank you so much for your video!
I love tretinoin. I just turned 30 and people think I'm 24 or 25. I started using Tretinoin at 26 years old and can't live without it. I alternate between 0.025 or 0.05. At work I get asked if I have done botox too lol. Nope. Just good skincare and healthy eating habits.
You use sunscreen everyday?? Which chemical or physical?? And how many times?
@@payalgoswami524 yes!! I prefer chemical. I use missha or supergoop
Pls share your skin care routine @classic lady
@@blondiewendy hi, could I tell me about tretinoin. I am 27 and skin is normal to dry. Can I use it? Will skin will be healthy and glowing by using tretinoin?
@@nafisatahia4046 I think you can, start low, say 0.025 every other night and follow with heavy moisturizer. It should help make your skin smooth and wrinkle free but remember you also have to eat healthy, not smoke, low alcohol, and use sunscreen so you can see results. My skincare is very minimal, thick moisturizer (like Cerave in the jar, or La Roche Posay cream). I have a peptide serum from the ordinary that I use sometimes, and vitamin c with sunscreen in the morning, that's it.
QUEEN
Thank you for the very helpfull tipps🤗from Germany
thank you dear Jennifer 🙏
Greetings JM hope u r well n Happy Friday😀n what a Wonderful Vlog…. thanks n This is Gonna B Educational🔥👍n so Whatta u think about Sandwiching ( the Moisturizer Between the Tretinoin)…. Is it that okay to Do Daily n Continued Blessings💜….
You've got such a lovely voice!
Your videos have helped me with my skin care routine so much thank you:) Do you ever use a gua sha? Any opinion on that tool?
I don't use anything, no. It's my opinion (and practice) that the less touching of the face, the better. In other words, I lessen the handling of my face. The only times I touch it are during cleansing/my skincare routine, morning & night. The face (or anything for that matter) can be preserved if it's left mostly alone; just my opinion.
Interesting chat :) how do you feel about getting microneedling, is it something you have or would ever consider?
I got microneedling last year after some pretty bad acne flare ups.
I remember in one of your videos you have mentioned that you use obagi sunscreen
I am 28 just started on retinol and I am wondering should I buy the Cetaphil sunscreen or the obagi sunscreen
And if it's the obagi if you can help me by telling me which one you use because I remember it was in a big recipient and it I couldn't find it in their website
Thanks again really appreciate you and what you are advocating for
I searched for the videos descriptions for the obagi link but didn't find it in any
Hi dear I really like your way to speak and after your tretinoin video I believe on u also and i m watching your all videos for improvement my face like u . Love u ❤️
You are very articulate and attractive. Congratulations on your skincare success!
