From my understanding, you MUST wear vitamin C with your sunscreen as it is photosensitive without. I read somewhere that it boosts the effects of sun protection when paired with sunscreen. Would also love susan to address this too.

@@bigcatlove5192 yes, it's interesting how we tend to equate youth with beauty. I watched one of these Vogue(or somebody) skincare routines for a retired super model who was 58 at the time. She was getting so much praise about looking "good for her age," EXCEPT in all honesty she did not. Between the completely gray hair, sagging skin, heavy wrinkles and age spots on her face and hands, a lot of us thought she was around 65-70 and were SHOCKED to discover she was "only" in her 50s... That being said, she was still absolutely GORGEOUS! Though were some who were emphatically tried to claim she looked "good for her age," anyone with eyes over the age of 25 could see that was RIDICULOUS(most late 50s yr olds don't look as old as she did no matter how much skin damage they have)! I was NOT trying to shame her whatsoever, but I did say(not in these exact words) that she was not a good or even typical example of a 58year old in terms of looks. I received some pushback and realized it's because people kept hearing *not looking "good for her age"* as being the same as *"she does not look good."* And to be clear, I thought she was still a very good looking woman. These two are separate things! - or at least not mutually exclusive. This retired model looked good regardless of how old she was or how old she "looked" and for THAT reason she made 58 look good, not because she looked young, but because she still had beauty. Period. A few friends of mine from college, at 24, had VERY noticeable forehead wrinkles and/or wisps of gray hair ALREADY, which made them look way older - but they were still really good looking young women. Honestly, age is just a number, therefore looking "good for your age" is relative/arbitrary. In the end, we should expand our preconceptions/conditioning around age & beauty because I'd rather be told "she looks good AT her age," rather than FOR her age. I'm going to look old as hell someday, can't escape that forever, but I DEFINITELY plan on looking good when I get there! lol
Am I the only one who gets annoyed when people praise others’ skin in their 30s for looking young? Like.. it’s 30, not 60. Some of y’all act like 35 is damn near death!
Lol. Even people in their mid twenties have trash skin. Lots of fine lines etc. I'm 28 and people think my skin looks like a kids cause I've taken care of it. Lots of things crop up even early twenties. Broken capillaries, enlarged pores, fine lines, dullness, loss of elasticity, frown lines. Etc... 30s is when skin typically really starts to show its age, not to mention sum damage, texture changes, sun spots, hyperpigmentation .....
Omg so true !!! I tell my gram, who's 93 *almost 94) that she's not old until she's 200 lol. 30s is so young. Even my father is 58 and doesn't look it. Age is just a number!
Because you can easily damage your skin in your 20s without realizing it until you're in your 30s? That's why praising some 30yrs old skin for looking young is actually good.
It's so crazy when you realize your skin is changing from your 20's to your 30's. I just got Dysport for the first time because Botox doesn't work for me! I'm learning so much about what works for me and what doesn't!
Susan. Agree. Dunno what it is but yes you look better now than in the past. No disrespect but you look ON POINT in the past 2 years. Even during your pregnancy you looked amazing !!
I am 33 and just this year I learned that luxury skin care doesn't guarantee anything. Ingredients are important and I have to read all of them before anything.
You’re turning 40 but you’re so beautiful! Because of you, i’ve been using niacinamide for 2 years, wearing sunscreen every morning, and so much more. Thanks susan!
I am as lazy as they come, but I truly believe that managing stress is something you want to do in your 30s with exercise and a balanced diet and correct sleeping and breathing techniques because they all make a huge difference in your skin I PROMISE YOU.
Yes 🙌🏼 I feel like I looked my best in my 40s and now that I’m in my 50s I really am trying to stay out of the sun ☀️ and use sunscreen and just take better care of my skin.
yep it really takes A LOT OF time like 6 months to see results. i’ve been using curology for 8 months now and my skin is clear i literally don’t have to care about pimples anymore! however during the first 1-2 months my acne got worse but started improving after. so i highly recommend you to try curology or some product consistently to see results
This was just so relaxing to listen to during the craziness in America right now. I’m turning 32 this year and haven’t had Botox or filler yet. I’m so happy you talked about aging gracefully! Definitely needed to hear that🙂💖
Absolutely LOVED the concept of this video. It was so informative and a a testament of the fact that NO ONE miraculously knows their skin and the perfect skincare routine from the get go! It is a learning curve for everybody and we all want to eventually “get there” but here’s the catch.. our skin changes! And so the learning never stops. It is such a personal journey and we all appreciate the fact that we could get a sneak peak into your’s. Thanks!
You have aged like fine wine Susan. Thank you for sharing so openly! I’m currently taking my health full on. Wishing you the best in your own journey 🥰
Please do more videos like this! I feel like people talk mainly about teenagers and acne, so it’s really refreshing to see content that is for people in their 30s.
I stopped using makeup wipes at 23 because of Susan. I wear sunscreen daily and reapply. Vitamin C and retinol are a must for me (I use Naturium and love them). My skincare is more simple and my skin has never looked better. Thank you Susan 😘
@@sunitaacharya2870 I use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. I can't use them together because my sensitive skin will go crazy. I introduced both very slowly into my routine to build tolerance
@@sunitaacharya2870 yes you absolutely can :) Vitamin C + broad spectrum sunscreen has been shown to be more effective at neutralizing free radical damage from sun exposure than just using sunscreen alone. For sensitive skin I'd suggest starting with 1-2 times a week, see how you go and then add more days per week if it works for you. If your skin is superrrr sensitive you can mix it in with your moisturizer so it's not as concentrated to start with 😊
Really appreciate her talking about her experience with Botox and fillers, because I’ll be 34 soon and have been seriously considering them. Susan has always looked great and I’m constantly watching her channel for tips on improving my own skincare game.
Thank you for not using fillers, etc. I've seen so many celebrities make big mistakes in becoming unrecognizable. It speaks to a lack of self appreciation. In the UK, actresses can work for a lifetime, but need to look like real people in order to get roles. That is so helpful to themselves, their art and their audiences.
I'd love to meet Susan. You and your products have not only healed my skin, but made my routine enjoyable. I'm definitely far from my over-exfoliating teenage years.. St. Ives and Glycolic Acid.. daily.. I'm sorry, Susan and my skin😅 I so very much hope you enjoy your graceful journey this year to 40. You're amazing! ❤
I never had "bad" acne. Like one pimple once in a while. I had the same birth control pill for almost 11 years. I moved to the USA and tried the "same formula" pill here and it made me have the worst hormonal acne. I'm back on my brazilian pill for a month now, treating and taking care of my skin even more regularly and this changed me. It changed my self-steam, my confidence, it took the joy out of taking pictures and videos, doing my makeup and truly just leaving my apt without makeup. I'm almost 26 now and I truly hope once my body is used to my old pill again, my skin gets better. I feel so bad all the time.
I have so much to thank Susan for. She has helped me understand my skin so much better and step up my skincare game. She explains everything so well! My skin has never looked better 🥺❤️
I, too, look better in my 30s than in my 20s. For one I found your channel! I learned how to take care of my skin. I like the wisdom I gain as I get older. I think that has made me content with aging. I've learned how to dress, what style fits me best and finally how my hair looks best. I love my 30s so far.
YES. When you are younger you want that refined more mature look. As you said it if we get work done it shows more as we get older especially fillers. Better to just invest in better skincare and do it consistently. You are so stunning Susan 😘 so glad to have you on this platform! ❤️
You are such an amazing role model for me! I just turned 26 and I loved hearing these. I sometimes go back and forth between wanting and not wanting preventative botox and you really got me thinking about just putting it up and trying to age gracefully. Love you Susan!!!
Such an inspiration! I'm working on accepting that aging will happen no matter what I do. And aging comes along with knowledge... Thanks for all the advice :)
Her tips for your 30s: 1. Stop tanning and start using sunscreen 2. Stop using makeup wipes 3. Stop changing your birth control so frequently 4. Start visiting a good esthetician regularly 5. Stop picking your own pimples (have that good esthetician deal with it) 6. Stop DIY skincare (home-made masks, etc.) 7. Stop relying on facial oils as replacements for serums, moisturisers, exfoliants, etc. 8. Start prioritising skincare over makeup 9. Start personalising your skincare 10. Start committing to products for 6 months or so before changing a product 11. Stop pushing products on your skin when it clearly doesn't like them 12. Change your skincare to combat pregnancy-related issues 13. Prioritise and work on your health 14. Accept aging gracefully
I totally agree with oils. I was someone who applied oils all the times because they were so popular back then. Then I saw my esthie and she looked at my skin and said “those oils are not doing anything, in fact, your skin is dehydrated, use a hydrating serum instead” and that was life changing for my skin.
The tip about not pushing a certain ingredient or product on your skin is so important. My skin is super oily and pretty resilient -- but glycolic acid breaks me out every time. I can use it for months, and I will keep breaking out. Meanwhile, salycilic acid doesn't do much for me. Even though these are "holy grail" ingredients to most people, they don't work as well for me as more gentle products like niacinamide, azelaic acid, etc.
I've been to places that have free consultation and you can discuss your skin & the plan then. I just go for a classic facial which means my esthetician decides because for me it is more about pampering. 😀 😍 she has also done microdermabrasion and so on if she found it necessary at that time.
for the first appointment, I'd contact them, explain shortly how my skin is and what my concerns are, and then ask them what should we do, and when I go to the initial appointment, I'd ask what type of facials and treatments do they provide and ask for explanation for what each does, and then for the later appointments I'd just go off of that :)
You just book a facial and you discuss on the day what you need done. When you use the same esthetician, they get to know you, so you both know what happens next.
Thank you so much for talking about birth control and hormones affecting your skin. Something that is at the root of many people’s problems that is almost never talked about by TH-cam skincare folks.
I don't have sensitive skin, but the cleansing wipes always made me break out and made my face red/irritated. I was never able to use them. I'm thinking more about sunscreen now that I've been watching people like Susan. I hated using it until I found a really easy one to wear under makeup. That has changed my skincare.
Skincare especially evening skincare is very important. Helps your makeup to go on nicer and smoother. My AM routine is just washing with water and moisturizer and sunscreen. It helps my skincare a lot. My AM/PM routine I’m thankful for 🙏❤️
The only thing from this list that I was doing wrong was not applying sunscreen daily but due to Susan, Hyram and Dr Dray I make sure I do it now. Regarding tanning, I know I won't stop doing it but now I religiously reapply sunscreen 🌞
@@TB-rx1ue, the fact that it's cloudy doesn't mean your skin doesn't get damaged. I admit I don't reapply as much in the cold months but I definitely wear sunscreen, especially if I have applied actives the night before. If you use actives, you do more damage than good to your skin, if you don't protect it by using SPF.
@@veronicaivanova yeah the average UV index here in winter is Zero. If we are lucky we may get a UV of 2, which is still low and very rare. Usually btw 0 and 1. Lol I’ll take my chances.
Angie from Hotandflashy here on youtube changed my skin care habits completely. she is so educated on mature skin care, active ingredients and has pretty much tried everything put there. love her! 💙
I’m 35 and my skin and I have been through it lol. Since my very early teens I’ve dealt with skin issues, like acne etc. I had to learn everything on my own, I didn’t have any one teaching me. And I was and still am the only one in my family who has issues. I learned way more when I became an esthetician, (I don’t currently work in the field tho) but it’s helped me through the yrs. I’m also a mother of 2, and my skin with my second was just a mess. It’s been almost 5 yrs and this last year especially has been the big change, I over hauled everything and it’s made a huge difference. Aging is coming into play and I’m adding things slowly. But I’m not afraid of aging either. It’s a personal journey for sure, you learn about your self more and then learn about your skin
Just entered my 30s .... Susan introduced me to so many tips while I was in my 20s..... Prevention is definitely better than cure... Thanks Susan... Would love it if you could make a video for Indian audience.
I just finally started a TH-cam Channel at 32 and it's so inspiring and empowering to see you slay it on TH-cam and being cose to your 40s! Also really appreciated the insights into aging gracefully. :)
Thank you Susan for taking the time to make these skincare educational videos! Thanks to you I’m more educated on what skincare I use and what each increasing does for my skin - and what skincare to use - Naturium of course ;) - and as a 20 year old I can prevent so much damage by taking care of my skin! Thank you so much for putting your experience and knowledge out so I can learn from it!
Anyone who thinks birth control might be an issue for them, read Dr Jolene Brighton’s book Beyond the Pill! She talks all about hormone issues and how to fix them and goes into detail about birth control so you don’t have to test out every single thing. Helped me get soooo much healthier too cuz she talks about all the bad things BC does to your body, and what to do to prevent that. Good read for every woman IMO
Omg the birth control!!! I had to go on a different BC because I had a cyst on my ovary and omg the breakouts were insane and upsetting!!! I was so happy when I finished and stopped and go back to my old BC that kept my hormones and skin in check. I just turned 30 and started taking collagen. Simplifying my skin care to double cleanse/or exfoliation, serum, and moisturizer with spf.
I’m turning 35 this year. Been doing Botox since 30 but didn’t have a skincare routine until this year 😱. Thanks quarantine TH-cam! I look better now then I did at 30, and it’s thanks to a great morning and evening routine.
It's funny how I had a family member that kept recommending preventative botox in my 20's and early 30's but I love my skin... and I love hearing this from other people. Sometimes we just have to accept the aging process and try our best to age gracefully.
Wonderful!! Really appreciate your wisdom and what you learned about skin, youth, and aging. I just turned 30 last fall and I started to think more about my skin/aging as well. I really like how you covered it all. I recently did Botox for the first time ever this past week for crows feet. I’ve started to include sunscreen regular and vitamin c. I’m happy I’m doing what I want for me and knowing I’m treating myself well.
Love love love u! I’m grateful I’ve been into skincare since high school but slacked when I got pregnant bc I was sooo exhausted with two under two. Now I’m like ahhhh I need to get back to it bc I can def see the difference in my skin when you don’t take care of it. You are def goals when I hit my 40s
I love that you always mention skincare is personal, 💯 agree! I really started to pay more attention to my skincare routine in my late twenties (wish I would’ve started sooner but didn’t notice breakouts until then for better or for worse) and now even more so in my 30s. Also love your point about being more confident as we age which I can definitely relate to. I’ve binge watched a lot of your content and learning a ton from your channel, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. 💕😊
I love hearing your perspective because i feel like you have so much experience and take such a practical and results-driven approach!! Esp love the tip on not forcing an ingredient to work since this is the biggest thing i had to learn
These points I feel so much. In my ealry 30s and my journey with my skin is working a lot like yours. I mean I did find you in my thirty’s and am so glad but geez even some of the health stuff is the same. Crazy world we live in.
I'm 36 now but I'm so glad I never got the tanning and make up wipes hype. I bought a skin book when I was 13 and stopped spending time in the sun. I just wish I started sunscreen earlier and skipped the St Ives in my teens
Omg susan, I was just thinking about the vitamin c! Looking at my skincare routine, I always thought I must have a vitamin c on my morning routine, yet my skin doesn't enjoy it so I started using a 5% niacinamide serum on morning and my skin loves it! And my 2021 skincare goals will be stop (or minimalize) trying new products and stick with my already established routine 😂
Thank you Susan, for sharing all your knowledge with us. Because of you I also changed a lot of in my habits. Stopped with lots of the bad ones and started a lot of good ones and my skin never been better, thanks to you. Truly grateful (age32)
I have the same auto immune issues. I had the scalp Psoriasis before pregnancy, but Hashimoto after. Also, POF at 35. Would love to hear in the future about what you figure out on yours.
I'm also turning 40 this year and a lot of your tips are ones I also realized as I got older. I cringe thinking about all the time I spent in tanning beds when in university (thinking it would help clear my skin). I also found getting off of birth control was a big factor (I also did the same as you with it).
Omg, please talk about your psoriasis! Do you deal with hair loss because of it? It is something you have to constantly manage with steroids? Do certain hair products seem to trigger it? I've had it on the back of my scalp since I was a child.
Haha it's funny if you were in Asia we are so scared of the sun because we don't want to get tanned, tanned equals not attractive here, so we always avoid the sun all the time and we knew that sun can cause pigmentation on your skin.
Hey!!! I'm 37 and I live on YT. I also had 2 babies in my 30's. Actually, I first found u on YT but it was a Mom related video and it wasn't until January of this year that I realized that u did makeup/skincare too.
Thank You for your commentary on filler and botox. I'm 45, struggling with if I need to get my eye troughs filled. I've debated. I do get laser for melasma...I live in So.Cal and drive so much, which affects my skin. I have thought the same thing about the filler/botox..I think its a thing you will become dependent on and aging gracefully is probably (although a challenge) a better bet.
I was checking off boxes as you went along haha I'm 34 and I also think I look better now than in my 20s. Focusing on health and skincare will change your life for the better. I want to hear more about how to age gracefully. I don't want to be one of the botox lizards. I want to look like the best version of myself. Thank you for all you do. ❤
Whenever I tried using makeup wipes in my teens they always broke me out or made my skin irritated. 10 years later and I’ve never used them since thank god 👐🏼

Please do more videos like this! I feel like people talk mainly about teenagers and acne, so it’s really refreshing to see content that is for people in their 30s.
I stopped using makeup wipes at 23 because of Susan. I wear sunscreen daily and reapply. Vitamin C and retinol are a must for me (I use Naturium and love them). My skincare is more simple and my skin has never looked better. Thank you Susan 😘
Can we use retinol and vitamin c together? I use retinol but i m scared to use vitamin c as i don’t know whether we can use together 😟
@@sunitaacharya2870 I use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. I can't use them together because my sensitive skin will go crazy. I introduced both very slowly into my routine to build tolerance
@@sharktalez vitamin C can be used in the morning? Yes i have also sensitive acne probe skin towards dry side. Thankyou for your reply.
@@sunitaacharya2870 yes you absolutely can :) Vitamin C + broad spectrum sunscreen has been shown to be more effective at neutralizing free radical damage from sun exposure than just using sunscreen alone.
For sensitive skin I'd suggest starting with 1-2 times a week, see how you go and then add more days per week if it works for you.
If your skin is superrrr sensitive you can mix it in with your moisturizer so it's not as concentrated to start with 😊
@@sharktalez thankyou and which vitamin c is good for acne n sensitive skin ?I don’t want to waste so
Really loved hearing about your personal skin journey and love your honesty about everything!
I turn 30 this year and I'm grateful I have content creators to watch who are NOT in the 20s or even early 30s. Love learning from you 💕
Really appreciate her talking about her experience with Botox and fillers, because I’ll be 34 soon and have been seriously considering them. Susan has always looked great and I’m constantly watching her channel for tips on improving my own skincare game.
Thank you for not using fillers, etc. I've seen so many celebrities make big mistakes in becoming unrecognizable. It speaks to a lack of self appreciation. In the UK, actresses can work for a lifetime, but need to look like real people in order to get roles. That is so helpful to themselves, their art and their audiences.
I'd love to meet Susan. You and your products have not only healed my skin, but made my routine enjoyable. I'm definitely far from my over-exfoliating teenage years.. St. Ives and Glycolic Acid.. daily.. I'm sorry, Susan and my skin😅 I so very much hope you enjoy your graceful journey this year to 40. You're amazing! ❤
I never had "bad" acne. Like one pimple once in a while. I had the same birth control pill for almost 11 years. I moved to the USA and tried the "same formula" pill here and it made me have the worst hormonal acne. I'm back on my brazilian pill for a month now, treating and taking care of my skin even more regularly and this changed me. It changed my self-steam, my confidence, it took the joy out of taking pictures and videos, doing my makeup and truly just leaving my apt without makeup. I'm almost 26 now and I truly hope once my body is used to my old pill again, my skin gets better. I feel so bad all the time.
I have so much to thank Susan for. She has helped me understand my skin so much better and step up my skincare game. She explains everything so well! My skin has never looked better 🥺❤️
I, too, look better in my 30s than in my 20s. For one I found your channel! I learned how to take care of my skin. I like the wisdom I gain as I get older. I think that has made me content with aging. I've learned how to dress, what style fits me best and finally how my hair looks best. I love my 30s so far.
So thankful for you Susan
YES. When you are younger you want that refined more mature look. As you said it if we get work done it shows more as we get older especially fillers. Better to just invest in better skincare and do it consistently. You are so stunning Susan 😘 so glad to have you on this platform! ❤️
You are such an amazing role model for me! I just turned 26 and I loved hearing these. I sometimes go back and forth between wanting and not wanting preventative botox and you really got me thinking about just putting it up and trying to age gracefully. Love you Susan!!!
Such an inspiration! I'm working on accepting that aging will happen no matter what I do. And aging comes along with knowledge... Thanks for all the advice :)
Her tips for your 30s:
1. Stop tanning and start using sunscreen
2. Stop using makeup wipes
3. Stop changing your birth control so frequently
4. Start visiting a good esthetician regularly
5. Stop picking your own pimples (have that good esthetician deal with it)
6. Stop DIY skincare (home-made masks, etc.)
7. Stop relying on facial oils as replacements for serums, moisturisers, exfoliants, etc.
8. Start prioritising skincare over makeup
9. Start personalising your skincare
10. Start committing to products for 6 months or so before changing a product
11. Stop pushing products on your skin when it clearly doesn't like them
12. Change your skincare to combat pregnancy-related issues
13. Prioritise and work on your health
14. Accept aging gracefully
I can so relate to all of this! I'm turning 40 at the end of March and I'm embracing aging gracefully!
I totally agree with oils. I was someone who applied oils all the times because they were so popular back then. Then I saw my esthie and she looked at my skin and said “those oils are not doing anything, in fact, your skin is dehydrated, use a hydrating serum instead” and that was life changing for my skin.
The tip about not pushing a certain ingredient or product on your skin is so important. My skin is super oily and pretty resilient -- but glycolic acid breaks me out every time. I can use it for months, and I will keep breaking out. Meanwhile, salycilic acid doesn't do much for me. Even though these are "holy grail" ingredients to most people, they don't work as well for me as more gentle products like niacinamide, azelaic acid, etc.
I’ve just turned 30 last weekend. Perfect time for this video for me. Thank you.
thank you Susan! I am actually turning 41 this year and so I hope you keep talking about changes in skincare in you forties from here on ❤️
When you start to see an esthetician regularly, what do you get scheduled? Is it just a skin check or does the esthetician decide? What do I say haha
Good question! Like what do I book for?!
You can just book a consultation and go from there. They can schedule follow up treatments based on what you discussed :-)
I've been to places that have free consultation and you can discuss your skin & the plan then. I just go for a classic facial which means my esthetician decides because for me it is more about pampering. 😀 😍 she has also done microdermabrasion and so on if she found it necessary at that time.
for the first appointment, I'd contact them, explain shortly how my skin is and what my concerns are, and then ask them what should we do, and when I go to the initial appointment, I'd ask what type of facials and treatments do they provide and ask for explanation for what each does, and then for the later appointments I'd just go off of that :)
You just book a facial and you discuss on the day what you need done. When you use the same esthetician, they get to know you, so you both know what happens next.
I am in my end 20's and i spent the last 10 years using just sun protection and skincare and at this age i am grateful that i did !!
Thank you so much for talking about birth control and hormones affecting your skin. Something that is at the root of many people’s problems that is almost never talked about by TH-cam skincare folks.
i turn 30 in march and i only started taking care of my skin when i was 28 yo because of susan, james welsh and liah yoo
Being 31 now this has been incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much !
Getting off birth control was one of the best skin decisions I've made!
I need to make sure to put these all into practice now that I am in 20s. Also just want to say you look stunning Susan!
Perfect timing! I'm turning 30 in 4 days :) Thank you for the video!
happy early birthday!
@@GordonRamseyIsMyLifestyle Thank you!
Happy Birthday 😍
Wish you the best Birthday.🎁🎉🎈
@@rachelsweets Thank you!
I don't have sensitive skin, but the cleansing wipes always made me break out and made my face red/irritated. I was never able to use them. I'm thinking more about sunscreen now that I've been watching people like Susan. I hated using it until I found a really easy one to wear under makeup. That has changed my skincare.
Skincare especially evening skincare is very important. Helps your makeup to go on nicer and smoother. My AM routine is just washing with water and moisturizer and sunscreen. It helps my skincare a lot. My AM/PM routine I’m thankful for 🙏❤️
The only thing from this list that I was doing wrong was not applying sunscreen daily but due to Susan, Hyram and Dr Dray I make sure I do it now. Regarding tanning, I know I won't stop doing it but now I religiously reapply sunscreen 🌞
I live in one of the top 10 cloudiest cities in the US. Sunscreen in winter is sadly optional lolll
@@TB-rx1ue, the fact that it's cloudy doesn't mean your skin doesn't get damaged. I admit I don't reapply as much in the cold months but I definitely wear sunscreen, especially if I have applied actives the night before. If you use actives, you do more damage than good to your skin, if you don't protect it by using SPF.
@@veronicaivanova yeah the average UV index here in winter is Zero. If we are lucky we may get a UV of 2, which is still low and very rare. Usually btw 0 and 1. Lol I’ll take my chances.
I'm turning 30 next week, if I could age the way you did in your 30's, SIGN ME UP! You look great!
Angie from Hotandflashy here on youtube changed my skin care habits completely. she is so educated on mature skin care, active ingredients and has pretty much tried everything put there. love her! 💙
I’m 35 and my skin and I have been through it lol. Since my very early teens I’ve dealt with skin issues, like acne etc. I had to learn everything on my own, I didn’t have any one teaching me. And I was and still am the only one in my family who has issues. I learned way more when I became an esthetician, (I don’t currently work in the field tho) but it’s helped me through the yrs. I’m also a mother of 2, and my skin with my second was just a mess. It’s been almost 5 yrs and this last year especially has been the big change, I over hauled everything and it’s made a huge difference. Aging is coming into play and I’m adding things slowly. But I’m not afraid of aging either. It’s a personal journey for sure, you learn about your self more and then learn about your skin
Just entered my 30s .... Susan introduced me to so many tips while I was in my 20s..... Prevention is definitely better than cure... Thanks Susan... Would love it if you could make a video for Indian audience.
Does anybody else feel offended by the fact that I got an ad for makeup wipes before watching this? ahahaha
Yes you look better over time, your face looks more natural. And I've seen earlier videos where I did think I could see it
I just finally started a TH-cam Channel at 32 and it's so inspiring and empowering to see you slay it on TH-cam and being cose to your 40s! Also really appreciated the insights into aging gracefully. :)
Thank you Susan for taking the time to make these skincare educational videos! Thanks to you I’m more educated on what skincare I use and what each increasing does for my skin - and what skincare to use - Naturium of course ;) - and as a 20 year old I can prevent so much damage by taking care of my skin! Thank you so much for putting your experience and knowledge out so I can learn from it!
YEEESS! Hardly to no Botox or fillers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love it!
Anyone who thinks birth control might be an issue for them, read Dr Jolene Brighton’s book Beyond the Pill! She talks all about hormone issues and how to fix them and goes into detail about birth control so you don’t have to test out every single thing. Helped me get soooo much healthier too cuz she talks about all the bad things BC does to your body, and what to do to prevent that. Good read for every woman IMO
Omg the birth control!!! I had to go on a different BC because I had a cyst on my ovary and omg the breakouts were insane and upsetting!!! I was so happy when I finished and stopped and go back to my old BC that kept my hormones and skin in check. I just turned 30 and started taking collagen. Simplifying my skin care to double cleanse/or exfoliation, serum, and moisturizer with spf.
We love you Susan. Please take care of your health. It was obvious that your health is a sensitive topic. Prioritize it! Also you’re aging beautifully
I’m turning 35 this year. Been doing Botox since 30 but didn’t have a skincare routine until this year 😱. Thanks quarantine TH-cam! I look better now then I did at 30, and it’s thanks to a great morning and evening routine.
It's funny how I had a family member that kept recommending preventative botox in my 20's and early 30's but I love my skin... and I love hearing this from other people. Sometimes we just have to accept the aging process and try our best to age gracefully.
I respect your honesty with botox and fillers
Susan in one of your videos you mentioned alpha arbutin and all I have to say is THANK YOU! It has helped me so much
I remeber the days in my 20's when i came home from clubbing rub some make up wipes and went to bed 🤦♀️
You and me both! 🙈
That’s more than I did 😅
Or.... slept in my makeup??? 🤫
Who didn’t 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Same 😅😅
Wonderful!! Really appreciate your wisdom and what you learned about skin, youth, and aging. I just turned 30 last fall and I started to think more about my skin/aging as well. I really like how you covered it all. I recently did Botox for the first time ever this past week for crows feet. I’ve started to include sunscreen regular and vitamin c. I’m happy I’m doing what I want for me and knowing I’m treating myself well.
When you recommend seeing an esthetician, what do you see her for? Schedule a facial?
These last few videos have been so entertaining!
Love love love u! I’m grateful I’ve been into skincare since high school but slacked when I got pregnant bc I was sooo exhausted with two under two. Now I’m like ahhhh I need to get back to it bc I can def see the difference in my skin when you don’t take care of it. You are def goals when I hit my 40s
I love that you always mention skincare is personal, 💯 agree! I really started to pay more attention to my skincare routine in my late twenties (wish I would’ve started sooner but didn’t notice breakouts until then for better or for worse) and now even more so in my 30s. Also love your point about being more confident as we age which I can definitely relate to. I’ve binge watched a lot of your content and learning a ton from your channel, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. 💕😊
Yes the makeup wipes - any brand made me breakout! I am doing sooo much better since quitting them.
it's ok to age gracefully. that's what we want 😇
I love hearing your perspective because i feel like you have so much experience and take such a practical and results-driven approach!! Esp love the tip on not forcing an ingredient to work since this is the biggest thing i had to learn
These points I feel so much. In my ealry 30s and my journey with my skin is working a lot like yours. I mean I did find you in my thirty’s and am so glad but geez even some of the health stuff is the same. Crazy world we live in.
Congrats on the Target deal!!! That was such an amazing move. It's more convenient to buy, since I'm always in Target 😂
I JUST SAW THE COLLECTION TODAY AT TARGET , I am so happy for her !!!
@@mariacarrillo6580 yeeesss!!!!!
This is so exciting. I'm turning 40 soon as well. I'm working on aging gracefully
Me too
Just turned 30! Thanks Susan!
As a nearing 35 year old lady.... I think your advice is spot on.
I'm 36 now but I'm so glad I never got the tanning and make up wipes hype. I bought a skin book when I was 13 and stopped spending time in the sun. I just wish I started sunscreen earlier and skipped the St Ives in my teens
Omg susan, I was just thinking about the vitamin c! Looking at my skincare routine, I always thought I must have a vitamin c on my morning routine, yet my skin doesn't enjoy it so I started using a 5% niacinamide serum on morning and my skin loves it! And my 2021 skincare goals will be stop (or minimalize) trying new products and stick with my already established routine 😂
Yaas I love that you talk about seeing your esthetician regularly! ❤️
Thank you Susan, for sharing all your knowledge with us.
Because of you I also changed a lot of in my habits.
Stopped with lots of the bad ones and started a lot of good ones and my skin never been better, thanks to you.
Truly grateful (age32)
I have the same auto immune issues. I had the scalp Psoriasis before pregnancy, but Hashimoto after. Also, POF at 35. Would love to hear in the future about what you figure out on yours.
I’ll be 30 in June! So thank you for this!!
Me to!
You do look amazing! I am about to turn 32 and I genuinely love the way I look more now than when I was 32 🥰
love this ❤️
I'm also turning 40 this year and a lot of your tips are ones I also realized as I got older. I cringe thinking about all the time I spent in tanning beds when in university (thinking it would help clear my skin). I also found getting off of birth control was a big factor (I also did the same as you with it).
I’m in love with your naturium brand that fermented rice face wash is to die for it makes my skin smooth and so soft.
Omg, please talk about your psoriasis! Do you deal with hair loss because of it? It is something you have to constantly manage with steroids? Do certain hair products seem to trigger it?
I've had it on the back of my scalp since I was a child.
DIY skincare is my biggest pet peeve
I use baby wet wipes with Nuxe make up cleansing oil on it to remove under eye make up. Then I use a gel cleanser
So helpful! As I’m going into my thirties good tips in terms of what to focus on/ cut out.
Haha it's funny if you were in Asia we are so scared of the sun because we don't want to get tanned, tanned equals not attractive here, so we always avoid the sun all the time and we knew that sun can cause pigmentation on your skin.
Hey!!! I'm 37 and I live on YT. I also had 2 babies in my 30's. Actually, I first found u on YT but it was a Mom related video and it wasn't until January of this year that I realized that u did makeup/skincare too.
Nooois! Exactly the video I was looking for! Thank you Mrs. Susan!
Thank you for all of your tips!
Thank You for your commentary on filler and botox. I'm 45, struggling with if I need to get my eye troughs filled. I've debated. I do get laser for melasma...I live in So.Cal and drive so much, which affects my skin. I have thought the same thing about the filler/botox..I think its a thing you will become dependent on and aging gracefully is probably (although a challenge) a better bet.
watching this because I want to form healthy habits even when I'm only 26.
I was checking off boxes as you went along haha I'm 34 and I also think I look better now than in my 20s. Focusing on health and skincare will change your life for the better. I want to hear more about how to age gracefully. I don't want to be one of the botox lizards. I want to look like the best version of myself. Thank you for all you do. ❤
Whenever I tried using makeup wipes in my teens they always broke me out or made my skin irritated.
10 years later and I’ve never used them since thank god 👐🏼
