Aging skin – it’s inevitable. But we’re talking about the practices and products that can help. We also chat about the confrontational charm of the enneagram type 8, including an interview with blogger (and mom of 9) Heidi Weimer.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Kristen brought Sarah over to the robe dark side. Kristen loves Barefoot Dreams but Sarah says the Parachute Robe is superior.
- Facial Massage increases circulation in the skin, drains lymph nodes, boosts collagen, relieves tension, and allows face products to absorb. Here’s a great video on it. And this Jade roller for the face is effective too.
- Wanna try a cleansing oil? We recommend Health Priority Vitamin E Oil or DHC Deep Cleansing Oil.
- Sunscreen – we know we should! Two good, natural sunscreens for daily use are Drunk Elephant and Suntegrity.
- Sarah’s favorite natural retinol product is Pai Rosehip BioRegenerate Fruit & Seed Oil Blend
- For exfoliation, try Acure Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub (budget) or Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser (spendy)
- Dry brushing is a great way to exfoliate and increase circulation.
- Our favorite serums are Drunk Elephant Night Serum (spendy) and Super 6 Serum (budget).
- Last time we talked about face shaving to reduce wrinkles, we sold a whole lot of tinkle razors
- Pro-tip: when you apply your eye cream, dab some around your lips. We like Tata Harper Boosted Contouring Eye Mask (spendy) or Acure Eye Cream (budget).
Is using the Tata Harper Regenerating cleanser daily in the AM enough exfoliating? I’m 47 and my skin is a mess. A lot of congestion on my forehead – seriously considering bangs because of it – and spots on my chin. Is the Super 6 Serum used like a moisturizer? Thanks, I feel so stupid asking these questions…….
And does the Super Six have BHA?
Sarah, what was the name of the eye roller product you liked?
After hearing you talk about tinted moisturizers, I would like some recommendations. I’ve used several in the past, but they look and feel on the heavy side like a liquid foundation. I would love to have a light coverage option – truly a moisturizer with just a hint of color – that I can just slather on for weekend wear.
Does such a thing exist?
Which products were the ones you guys mentioned for combination skin? The lovely acne/aging issue….
Thanks!
I had a rash on my chest a few years ago, and it drove me mad. It was so itchy I would scratch until it scabbed over. Even in my mid 40s, I still have oily skin, and had acne when I was a teen/young adult. I just assumed it was related to my skin type, but the itching didn’t fit. Ended up being diagnosed as folliculitis, and got a medicated cream from doctor. I also used exfoliating cleansers, and it eventually cleared. Interesting if it is related to hormonal changes – it never occurred to me. Then again, there are so many things you guys discuss as hormone related that are a surprise to me!
