Erase Decades of Damage: Skincare Secrets for Women Over 65
It's never too late.
Never. Just get going. Start on something. Get a regimen going.
So many things that you could do. So many things that you could do. And I think, oh, we might have even scared people with a variety of things you can do. Like, no, it's not like there's nothing you can do.
There's everything you can do.
So today I had a phone call from a lovely customer of ours. And she was in her late 60s. And she found us on social media and is just wondering, “Is it too late for me? Can I still correct some damage that I have?” She has some loose skin, a little bit of scarring, and a little bit of pigmentation. And she's like, “Hey, is this stuff really going to work? Is this going to work for me? What should I do?”
Right, yeah. Isn't that like the number one question we all get? Because it seems like everybody has been, their whole life, maybe skin care hasn't been important to them. They've been raising families and doing everything else. And you're kind of like last on the list.
That's so true.
And then when you get a little bit older, now you've got a little bit more time for yourself. But now you're like, “Well, now it's too late. I've got wrinkles. I've got all these things all over my face. Should I just forget it?” But obviously, that's not the case. And a lot of times, the more wrinkles you have, the more sun damage you have, the more problems you have, actually, the quicker you start to see results, right?
This is when those photos come in handy, yes.
Oh, they're so good. And it's the people who just have fine, fine lines and a couple of light spots. And they're doing all these things. They're like, “It's not changing.” But now you've got somebody who has all of that. It's just so dramatic if they're doing a couple of peels or some needling or whatever they choose. I mean, the results are dramatic because they haven't really done anything. This is like their first foray. They've just been putting on a drugstore cream for 25, 30, 40 years. Oh my gosh, up to like 60 years. But they've been using just a couple of mild drugstore products that do nothing more than hydrate your skin.
Moisture.
You're not exfoliating. You're not stimulating anything, turning anything over. So that's not doing anything. You've done nothing. And then, all of a sudden, you get some really active products that make your skin work. And wow, it's like quick changes for those. And so it's most definitely not too late. It's time to get started. And I think, yeah, take a picture because you're going to start seeing some amazing changes quickly.
Right. And that makes sense why a client would be skeptical, because they have used a lot of drugstore products and haven't seen the results they're looking for.
Right.
So they're like, is this just going to add to my drawer of things? Or, you know?
Well, you know, then you think, like, what is in a drugstore? Is it safe, right? Any kind of acids are going to be minuscule, half a percent, 1%, 2% maybe. Really minuscule because they know that any person is going to walk, a child, anybody is going to walk in and buy that, and they don't want them to hurt themselves. And I 100% understand that.
Yes.
And, of course, many of our products could be sold on store shelves just as safely. But you know, the ones that are going to make those big, big changes, we're talking chemical peels and needling and stuff like that.
Yeah.
You're not going to find those on a store shelf. And for good reason, because you need to do a little bit of research. You need to understand things. You need to prep your skin beforehand. You need to prepare to do something like that. You have got to learn.
Right.
You can't just pick it up. So yeah, nothing there is really going to do much for your skin.
She was grateful that she could call and talk to a real human and get advice. So that's unique.
We have that in spades.
Yes, yes. And I assured her that if she purchased a peel, we would email her about TCA and other topics. I sent her some links to educational resources so she could learn more. But I did recommend, you know, starting with maybe even TCA 7 or TCA 13 if her skin was a little more hardy, but she really didn't know. She didn't know because she really wasn't using anything medically.
Yeah, she's used nothing. She doesn't know if she has sensitive skin. She doesn't know if she is sensitive; she doesn't know anything.
Right.
So I suppose we can get started talking about, like, what kind of products you want to get started with.
Yes.
On average, I guess we can pretty much say that most people, as you age, your skin thins, you know, it gets more sensitive, it gets more fragile. So we don't want to just jump in and be extremely aggressive.
True.
Right, first and foremost, your skin is dry, and it's fragile. So that doesn't mean we don't want to use the same kinds of products. We want to use the acids. We want to use the retinoids, but we want to start really, really slow. You want to use very mild acids. You want to use more hydrating acids. Like step one in our process is, you know, washing your face, right? So we have our anti-aging cleanser over there. And that has, you know, 5% lactic in it. So it's still going to exfoliate.
Somebody starting with that is still going to be dry, have dry skin for the first week or two. But that's because that dead skin's coming off for the first time in your life. It's just a matter of it's gentle, and it's a good place to start. Very gentle moisturizing acids. So the first thing is, you know, get them on a good cleanser. So we say like our anti-aging. And then, you know, we want to get them, that's, they've got their exfoliation. We want some serums. We want to focus on your problems and hydration. So, you know, something like if, a lot of times they'll have hyperpigmentation and things, so we'll get them into Fade Bright. But even that's not something you want to start using every day. Especially not with thinner, fragile, dry skin.
You know, we want you to use it maybe two or three times a week. Kind of ease into it. Make sure it's not causing any excessive dryness. Put your good moisturizers on top. We have our DermaSnap right there. That's for our dry skin. But, you know, not everybody wants it. You can use oil. You know, like I feel like Emu Oil is a really good one.
And especially if you have drier, fragile skin, because Emu Oil can help your skin, you know, I don't want to say thicken, because we're taking the dead skin off, but it is thickening, underlying, making your skin a little bit more sturdy. You know, so this is a good one. And I tend to tell people, you know, as they age, especially on arms and things where you start to get bruising and all that kind of stuff, like Emu Oil and Copper. Those are like, I always want to throw Emu Oil and Copper into anybody's aging regimen, you know. Good moisturizer, oils. And then at night, of course, a retinoid.
Retinoids are important, whether you are older or younger. Our mildest is the 0.15. And I would, same thing with like Fade Bright and stuff. Start really, really slow. Maybe two times a week. Mix it with your moisturizer and apply it, because it's harsh. It can cause some dryness, and we need to ease into it. But with just a regimen, just a simple regimen like that, not changing anything other than just your daily morning and evening products, you're going to see changes in a matter of a couple of weeks. Your skin's going to be nice and smooth. After, you know, 30, 60 days, you'll notice those marks fading back a little bit. You'll notice lines easing a little bit, but obviously, you want to get into stronger treatments if you want to make big, big changes.
But at first, they should start slow. Even if they're dry, stay the course.
Get on a good regimen. Don't use your bar soap. That's just so drying and not good for your skin. Don't use bar soaps. And even if you were using a cleanser or something like that, use an acid cleanser. Get some action from your cleanser. Don't just wash, you know, exfoliate. Yeah, so those will be big changes.
We don't want to overwhelm them with too many things at first, because sometimes there's so much information on the website that they can get a little lost.
They'll start watching video after video, podcast after podcast, and then they call, and they're like, “I'm not sure. I don't know, you know?”
I'm going to put this on.”
Yeah.
Well, and obviously, we have our layering guide in the FAQ. If you go through our help desk, it's there. And there's also a layering guide on the sides of all the boxes, as well as on the side of your label. So, you know, this is first. And if multiple products are first, then it doesn't matter, right? Just get them on. If that's your serums, then your creams, then your oils, then your SPF at the end. But you know, as long as you get it on, you're good. That's going to make big changes for you. Regimen, it's going to prepare their skin for any future peels.
Yeah, and if you really want to make changes in your skin, I mean, you're going to notice big changes with that if you've never done anything.
Sure.
Now, the next step is peels. And we have mild, mild peels. Like I have a couple of them sitting here. Like I have our Lactic 50. That's probably the very mildest peel. I don't want to say 'mildest stinging.' ' It stings.
Sensation-wise.
Sensation-wise, it's not the mildest. But it is the mildest, where you just get a hint of dryness, maybe. Not really flaking here and there. If you want a little more, you might consider moving into Mandelic. I really like Mandelic for just about anybody from 22 to 40. But I think most people, like if they're reaching out, they've done this, they're ready for real changes. So, like, they want to use a TCA peel. And, you know, we have our 13%. That's like for normal skin, unless they have like really thick skin.
I like putting them in the 7% because I feel like you're still, you know, it's layerable, and you can start with that very mild. And you can start with the TCA. You don't have to start with Mandelic or Lactic. You can totally skip that and be like, “Hey, I've got wrinkles, and I need to fight them.” Okay, let's start with TCA 7. Start with, you know, one to two layers. And then, every month, you can just keep adding layers. But, you know, an acid like TCA, that can really stimulate a lot of collagen and elastin. And actually, if you have drier skin, it also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans, which are your skin's natural moisturizing factors. So in the long run, your skin will also be more hydrated.
That's interesting.
So that's a benefit from TCA. It's going to help make those lines a little bit finer. Pigmentation, it can help with too. Obviously, we can get into other acids like Jessner’s and Jessner's Plus TCA, things like that.
Another peel, obviously, we have our Dream Peel. And this is a good one too. Now you may not know if you have retinoid sensitivities or whatever. That's why we always suggest putting this on one night only, the very first time you use it, because this can cause a good deal of all-over light, flaking, and the skin kind of rolling off a little bit, but it can cause some sensitivity. This is another good one to start with because it's applied just like a face serum. You go to bed.
There's no stinging or burning when you apply it. However, you will experience some sensitivity a few days down the line, you know, a few days down the road. But each and every person reacts differently. And I guess the one thing I want to make sure our customers know is don't be discouraged when you do, you know, we tell them to start slow. If they do that first peel, let's say a TCA 7, two layers, or Dream Peel one day, and they don't get what they were looking for as far as peeling.
Yeah, don't get discouraged. That was step one. Now we're going to move on.
Yes, we have to gauge your skin and see how it will react. Because, from one phone call to another, I may get a customer who does two layers of TCA 13 and feels they didn't get enough peeling. However, they did get flaking around the mouth or the nose.
But then the next call is somebody who's like, “Oh, my face is all red.” “Oh my gosh, I hurt myself.” “What's happening?” But that's because of those different like skin thickness. That's why I always say, like, the seven for those. Like if you're in your, I don't want to say fifties. I'm in my fifties. I don't feel like my skin has thinned really at all. But you know, probably within the next 10 years, yeah, it is going to thin more. And then I'm going to have to be a little bit more careful. And maybe, you know, I already like the seven, but nonetheless, like it's always best to start, especially that very first time. You have no idea how your skin will respond. And the last thing you want to do is overdo it the very first time you try something.
Yeah, that's the last thing you want. And you want to be consistent because you're not going to see anything with one treatment. You have to stay the course.
No, and while some do, the main thing that you're going to see on that first treatment is the smoothness. Like your skin will feel smooth, but like real changes. It takes, you know, 90 days or more when you're talking about building collagen in the skin and having that all the tissues deep in your skin, rebuilding and plumping and then moving up and pressing those lines. I mean, that boy, that takes months. That's not something you're going to see at one peel. But know that even if you've only done one, two, or three peels, and let's say you don't do peels for about six months, your skin's going to start looking better. And you'd be like, “Well, what did I do?” It was the peel you did a few months back. Do some more. Do some more so it can keep looking better.
Needling is also really great. We get great feedback. As you said, sometimes they'll have a little bit of inflammation from that first treatment, and they feel it smooths things nicely, get super excited, and it helps stimulate their motivation, you know, to keep going.
I already see stuff. Well, that's what you are going to see, you know, 90 days or something, keep doing this. And this is, yeah, that's another great one that can be done. Obviously, this can be done once every two weeks, and we have all the different serums.
Like this is the suite, right? So this one comes with epidermal growth factor, Replexium, and Hyaluronic Acid. Perfect starter serum for anybody to use. Other than this, we have the different serums. We have the EXO-PDRN, EXO-SPOT, and EXO-AD, which are human adipose-derived exosomes. So if you really want to, you know, add something like that into this and needle that, like huge, huge changes that you can get. So this is all about stimulating collagen, just like TCA is, that's collagen and elastin. This is, of course, the same. Anything that really likes forces damage, and then complete renewal in your skin is going to help all those things to function better. Also, moisturizing is the same thing. These all help your skin function better.
Let's take one quick second. If you could take one of those little bottles out on the top.
Which top ones?
I had a customer call me this morning, asking, "What's the trick to opening this bottle?"
Oh, well, let me get my glasses and let's just open this one.
Yes, because there are a couple of little arrows on there.
Yeah, right, you will find in, you know, want to take this clear part off. This is part of opening it. On this gold cap here, there are two arrows pointing up, or they could be pointing anyway, but that's where you want to put your thumb, and you're going to see where this is going to rip off. So I'm just going to, let's hope I get it.
Yeah, see now this is pulled.
Yes.
And open that tab.
Now we're going to pull it down, and then you can just open it from there. Like, sometimes you can leave it on and then pull it, or otherwise I'll just take this.
There you go.
Pull it around, open it, and then we can just take this off.
There you go.
Now we've got our serum, which we can pour into our tool and use however you like. But yeah, that, it's easy. So yeah, now we will have that little demo there, and that opened really well for me. If, for some reason, like you break it off and it's still attached, you could just grab a little piece of tweezers and just pull that up, and it's going to come right off.
I took the cap off the first time the wrong way. You know, when we were testing it, I had to get my tweezers out, then.
I've done it.
Yeah, the same. And I came to work the next day. I'm like, “Jen, how do you do this?” And then she's like, there are little arrows. So I've done it, too.
In the video, the introductory video on how to do the needling. I'm opening these two in there, showing you how to open them. You saw that it was easy to open. It's not hard. It's just a matter of putting your thumb where those arrows are. I'm pulling it in the right direction. You just have to follow directions. That's the easiest part.
Now let's see a couple of other things. You could do like IPL. We have the Vess IPL. That's an option. That's something that can be due to two or three times per week. That's also going to help to stimulate. I would get the rejuvenation cartridge with that one. Another one, like, you know, we have a couple of different electronics here. We have our new SolEos Mask.
Oh yeah.
And this is LED and laser, of course. And this is really, really good. Really anti-aging, no pain involved, no stinging, no needles, no flaking. But this is really good for, you know, wrinkles and pigmentation, you know, depending on which different colors you go through. And a lot of times, you know, as you age, you know, things start to loosen around the jaw line, under the chin. And ours obviously has our under-the-chin flap. So you're getting like 100% coverage at places that are always missed. And this is LED, which obviously, you know, expands and covers your whole face, but there are also the laser diodes in here. So you're getting, you know, extra special. We're concentrating on our problem areas with the lasers. So, you know, LED and laser mask, also super for all ages, but exceptionally good, you know, for someone who's got aging skin. It's not going to cause any pain.
No, something super easy to use.
Just so darn easy to use. And, you know, you use that, you know, every other day, three times, four times a week. That's all you need.
And this new mask has modes that let you select different programs.
Yeah, whether you want infrared, not infrared, different colors, you want it to rotate through the colors. That's my favorite one. That's the bedtime mode. That's the one that goes through each one. I'll sit there, you know, 30 minutes till I fall asleep. And I love that.
It's so convenient.
It is.
And you're hitting all the bases, and you don't have to like switch any settings. You just switch, you know, morning mode or bedtime mode. And it knows, like, if you're doing a 15-minute session, it divides it up and, you know, switches every 4 minutes or whatever. So cool.
I know, I love that.
And it also has the pulsing feature.
Yeah, I forgot about that. That helps. It helps it to work a little bit harder. It helps your skin to work a little bit harder. Heal and recover quicker.
What about copper peptides?
I think copper is great. And I do have some copper sitting up here. We have a couple of different ones for obviously a couple of different things that everybody deals with as they age. For your face, I have one of the mildest serums here. We have the CP serum.
Yes.
And then we have our other option, too, which I forgot to pull out, which would be like the GHK-7. And that's something that can be mixed into another product. Maybe you mix it into your Fusion A, your Regenerate, or, you know, whatever other evening product. Cause I like to use copper at night. I always think of it like blue. See, it's like dark blue. Just think like blue nighttime and see daytime. So we have like a serum, just a couple drops. We have the GHK Luxe eye cream. I think this is wonderful. And another thing I think is super helpful as you age is that you're getting like crepey skin.
That's kind of like fine wrinkles, kind of like looser skin. And so this is the GHK Crepey Skin Escape. And this is super, you can put this on, you know, your arms, your elbows, your knees, wherever you're having issues with crepey skin.
Even sensitive areas, like the area under the arms. I've been getting a lot of, I think people are getting ready for summer. So I'm getting a lot of calls about, you know, crepey skin on the knees, crepey skin under the arms, like right between your armpit and your elbow.
I literally started using this just, you know, probably about a couple of weeks ago, concentrating on those areas too. The same thing, I was like, “Oh, I've got to start working on this, too.” And then we like to alternate this with, like, the Triple Treat Body Lotion. If you really want to make a big impact on crepey skin. Cause we don't want to use Triple Treat every single day. That's 25% acid. That's really strong for someone whose skin is thinning. So you can either use this straight, or, if you like, mix a pump of this with a pump of a plain, drugstore body lotion. And you can kind of cut this in half, though, like what 12 and a half percent, something along those lines, that will make it a little milder.
Or you can use this, you know, maybe only two or three times a week, and then use your GHK the other days, but don't mix them because GHK and acids don't mix. But that's a really good idea for crepey skin. And that's really, really common as we age. I know, you know, I'm already starting to see little signs of it. So I'm, you know, concentrating on those same things.
And keep in mind that Triple Treat is a treatment lotion. So you do need to moisturize afterward, even with, if you're not mixing.
It has moisturizers and things in it for sure. But like, it's not going to feel like your normal daily lotion. Like, if you want that super hydrated feel, you might need to add a little bit of lotion on top.
Make sure you always wash your hands afterward.
Yeah. So it's not, you know, it's not the most beautiful thing in the world, but it works like crazy.
The acids have a tacky, slightly sticky feel. So we are kind of pushing the envelope on that one as far as-
We are with 25%. And that's the thing. Like, yeah, acids are sticky. They're very sticky. Once an acid dries, like glycolic or lactic, it dries, it's like, eh, eh. You know, putting a quarter of that bottle into pure acid makes it really tough to achieve the smooth finish you're used to. And you can't really get, if you're comparing it to like a normal daily lotion, that its only goal is to just moisturize and leave a film. You know, that's not that lotion's goals. That one's a workhorse only.
Yes.
And you can add the fluff on top if you need to.
Very true. We talked about vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night.
I did mention vitamin C in the morning, but yeah, for sure. I mean, with anybody, but especially aging skin, because we're talking about things, you know, that are really good for collagen. Vitamin C is super, super good for collagen. So you definitely want to put this on in the morning. I think everybody needs an antioxidant. This is a blend of antioxidants.
Not everybody loves vitamin C. So if, for some reason, you don't like vitamin C, you just find another antioxidant. I just like want to stress that it's very important. Vitamin A is also an antioxidant, though. So even if you aren't, let's say, you know, you're not a fan of vitamin C or any of those antioxidants, if you're putting your retinoid on at night, you are still getting some antioxidant. If you're putting copper on, that's also a mild antioxidant. There are many things that are antioxidants.
Yeah, vitamin C is the workhorse antioxidant. Like workhorse is my word today.
Our Secret Agent is not irritating to the skin.
It's not, it's the THDA, which is the oil-soluble form of vitamin C. Cause you've got L-ascorbic, which is the water-soluble, but that one stings really bad. It stings. It's like, has to be acidic to work. Usually around a 2 pH. And then it really burns when you put it on. So we don't have any of that in here to make this more calm and soothing. And I think the majority of people who use our new formula here absolutely, absolutely love it. It's just smooth, moisturizing, and beautiful. But just in case, I wanna make sure it is important for you to put on a vitamin C or an antioxidant.
And I wanna mention one other thing because all your wrinkles and pigmentation and bumps and crazy things going on in your face are generally, you know, stem from the sun, from UV damage, even if you put sunblock on, but I'm just going to assume you probably didn't if you weren't caring about skincare, you might not have put SPF on.
Well, and a lot of the ladies say they're from the baby oil and iodine day with the aluminum foil thing back before they even knew about sunblock.
I put baby oil on. I don't know. That was popular in the 80s, too.
And in my phone call, we actually talked about Cell Intel because she asked, "Is it too late for this to help me?"
No, and that's exactly why I've got it sitting here, because this DNA repair enzymes. Okay, so the UV from the sun damages your actual DNA, and your body can probably heal about half of that every day. So that means you're in a deficit every single day. And before you know it, if these problems aren't fixed in a matter of, I think it's like seven days or nine days or something, if they're not fixed, you're creating permanent problems, and your skin is just replicating itself in damaged forms. You know, like you have to fix those damages. And the only thing that can fix those is DNA repair enzymes. We have two of them in our body, and we have the plankton extract in here, which is an additional one.
So if you start taking something like your DNA repair enzymes every single day, you are stopping new damage first and foremost. So your body can fix about half of those. This is gonna fix the rest. And then it's gonna start working on your older damages. So yes, this will help your skin from here on. So you always wanna like, yeah, okay, you missed 60 years. Okay, fine. We gotta start where we are, and here's where we are. So we're gonna stop the damage from today forward, and this is also gonna work on previous damage.
It is going to help. And I wanted to mention, too, that we have the new PDRN, which has the 0.3% PDRN and the DNA repair enzymes. Now this one has more DNA repair enzymes, for sure. This is a wonderful complementary one.
And this is a daily PDRN serum.
This is our new daily PDRN serum. And this one is also designed to be very moisturizing and very healing. So if you have, you know, rosacea or very fragile skin, PDRN is another excellent, excellent healing ingredient. It also has the DNA repair enzymes. So you can couple them with those.
So you can't get too much DNA?
You really can't. No, you really can't. I mean, we're getting hit with thousands and thousands of damages every single day. So whatever you can do to fight that, you need to do. Now and moving forward. So really, really important.
PDRN would be really nice after a chemical peel or needling.
Yes, yes. Or you can needle with the PDRN, right? We have our PDRN, our Exo-PDRN. It has the DNA repair enzymes. It has the PDRN and GHK, which is the copper we were just talking about. So you can needle with that. That would be like, just amazing. I would add exosomes to that. And I just feel like that's a winning, winning, winning needling combination serum that can be used with our device. Or, you know, a lot of times people have different pens, and it doesn't matter what tool you're using it with. You can use our serums with any tool you have.
Let's talk a little bit about Lucky Potion. This is something that someone can use. It gives you…
Instant gratification.
Instant gratification, not necessarily long-term anti-aging results, however.
But you're going to have some pictures taken, and you're going to an event or something. Like you can put this on by itself, or that's sitting right there by DermaSnap lotion, which is our face moisturizer for dry skin. It has the injection alternatives in there. Wonderful moisturizing. But I feel like if you add a little pump of Lucky Potion to that, mix that up, put it on, just kind of let your skin dry for a minute. You will feel some tightening, and it will really help minimize those lines. So if you're going to a special event, you'll be visiting some people. I think that's an admirable thing you can put in your products for that day, and you'll see a difference, and people will see a difference.
I have a cute story about Lucky Potion. My parents were married for 50 years, and I had them get a photo for their 50th anniversary. And so I went and was doing my mom's makeup and everything, and I brought all my goods, including my Lucky Potion, and my dad was sitting there watching me, and I said, you know, Dad, watch. Watch this forehead wrinkles lesson. And he was amazed. And then he was like, do me, do me.
Did you put some on him?
Yeah, yeah. So I put some on, and their photos came out so beautiful. I'm so happy that we took those photos, and this really made my mom feel so lovely because it just softened everything.
Because it's kind of like, it's almost like, you know, where I'm saying again, you know, as you're getting older, the more lines you have, the bigger the results are.
100%.
I mean, whether it's an instant thing or even just a regimen.
This little fan that we sell.
Oh yeah, just dry it real fast.
Dry it really fast. And it, you know, at this, at the time we didn't have this fan.
Right, your fan in her face.
Yes, fanning her face and everything. But yeah, this got three different speeds. This is a nice little guy.
I love that one.
Has a little port in there for the C port.
Yeah, you don't even have to plug it in or anything. Yeah, it's great.
But yeah, that is a fun story. And it really, really does work. It helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. And it's just amazing.
Yeah, that was just my whole point, like, you know, if you had these subtle, barely there lines, like even products like that, I mean, they help. But when you have more lines, holy moly, that's when you really see like, “what just happened here?” You know, like.
It was like magic.
It changed.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's, that's why it's a potion, Lucky Potion. Like it's, it's magical.
Yes, and the reason it's Lucky Potion number nine is that we tested nine versions to get it right.
To get to that one. Yeah, that's right. That took many tweakings to get to where they are.
Yeah, that's cool.
So what else do we have over there? I think the only thing we have, well, there are a couple of things we haven't talked about. So if somebody is sensitive to retinoids, I always feel that anybody can use a retinoid like our Fusion A, start with the 0.15, start maybe once or twice a week. If you're really sensitive, mix it with another cream and apply it to dilute it. There are ways to get everybody using it. But if you don't want to, or if you want to add something else, like more oils, we have the Essential FX. And that has the Bakuchiol in there. So what that is is a blend of natural vitamin A, and it contains Bakuchiol. So Bakuchiol has been compared to retinol in studies. And it's not that they're the same.
They're not the same at all. It's like an apple and a banana, but they both have like the same kind of end result, right? So that is a super alternative, but I don't even want to call it an alternative because a lot of people find it super moisturizing. It's got all your natural vitamin A. A lot of people use it with their Fusion A or with their tretinoin just to get that extra vitamin A and extra moisture. Because as you age, your skin is drier. It's harder to retain the moisture. We're low in hyaluronic acid. And so that's another thing to think about. Another thing is that you need more water in your skin. You need more hydration.
And something like hyaluronic acid is hygroscopic, which means it can pull moisture into itself. So, like, if you've applied this to your skin and it's a moist day outside, it literally pulls moisture into your skin and keeps it moisturized. So you want to put something like this on, wash your face, let your skin be damp, put your hyaluronic on, then seal it in with your cream, and then seal that in with an oil. And now your skin's gonna be more moisturized all day long. So hyaluronic, we do put hyaluronic in a lot of our products, but this is a way to add more to it. And the only time it wouldn't be beneficial is, like, let's say, if you're in Arizona or someplace extremely dry, maybe you might want to look into a different type of moisture, but for most climates, most places, that's really good.
Even if it is super dry, you could always mist it with one of those little water misters or something similar to add the moisture it needs to keep your skin more hydrated. But I think those are the big things.
So I just had a thought. So would the new Daily PDRN Serum be a better option for those living in a drier climate?
There are a lot of different hydration things in there. There is a little bit of hyaluronic in here, but it's not like the main thing, like this one is. This is filled with lots of things. I think I know there's like glycerin, there's just a humongous list. I can't even think of all of them, but that was part of the creation of this: to make it deeply hydrating. Deeply healing. So yeah, that's why it's like, I feel like this is like a great product for someone like that. And, you know, rosacea, things like that. Super, super healing barrier repair. So that's just one other thing that I feel like if you weren't putting anything on your skin, you're not harming your barrier in any way. But let's say you did, and you know, your skin is out of whack for some reason, something like this is what's really gonna help with that. Help with that. That's a real common question, concern, barrier repair. You know, the PDRN is super for that.
So just to recap, it's never too late.
Never.
Just get going. Start on something, get a regimen going.
So many things that you could do. So many things that you could do. And I think we might've even scared people with a variety of things you can do. Like, no, it's not like there's nothing you can do. There's everything you can do.
Yeah, and you don't have to purchase them all. Purchase a cleanser, a moisturizer…
A cleanser, a moisturizer, and a retinoid. Just get started, simple, simple like that. Get your skin ready. And then you will be ready to do like a peel or needling or something. And when you start doing that, you're gonna start seeing huge changes. So take photos, right? That's always like number one before you even start a regimen: take a picture of yourself. You know, in some natural light in your bathroom by a window or something. Take a day 1 picture, then take a day 30 picture, and once a month, take another picture. So you can start comparing those changes because you will see them, and you'll want to share them with the group, and on our website, you'll be amazed and excited.
So don't be overwhelmed. But if you are, don't hesitate to reach out.
Yeah, you can phone us at 1-800-917-3155.
Yep, or join the group where there are a lot of other people just like you getting started. And that's our Facebook group, Platinum Skincare Gurus.
And I know there are some people who like, I don't do social media, you know, like, eh, eh. Okay, well, that's when you call us. Or you can email us at support@platinumskincare.com. But like, I feel like a lot of times, people in that particular age group like to talk on the phone.
So I feel like calling us and having someone walk you through it might be the easiest. We can take your order over the phone. If you don't feel comfortable, you know, doing things online, not everybody does. And you know, 65, 60s, I mean, that's just the beginning. We talk to people in their 80s and beyond who are doing peels and other things. I have beautiful skin. It's like, well, it doesn't matter how old you are. You can get started anytime. I think the time when you're ready to get started doesn't matter, whether you're 15 or 85. When you start thinking about your skin, and you're like, “Should I?” Well, that's when you should get started.
Agreed.
Right?
Agreed. Perfect.
