How to Not Look Like Somebody's Mama (i.e. Look Younger)

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Kim, with Simply Beautiful, in Austin, Texas. We want to talk a little bit about how to not look like your mama, so we're talking about how to age gracefully, or keep yourself looking younger. We're going to go with our basic skin care, which is cleanse twice a day, tone, moisturize, exfoliate once a week, once or twice a week, and mask once a week. That's your basic skin care. The more you do that, the more of a good habit you get into, a good regimen, the younger your skin will maintain. What's going to change as you age, is what products you choose to put on your skin, so at the beginning, you may not need something that freshens your look, or adds firmness, but as you age, you want to take care of those things. A great trick to keep you from aging, is no smoking, keep your exercise up, because it increases the circulation to your skin. Don't smoke, exercise, so I'm going to go through this real quickly. This is a gentle cleanse, that toner. Also as you get older, your skin tends to dry out, which is good news for people who have oily skin, but not great news for people who have normal skin that's going to be dryer, or as you're young, skin that is going to just get dryer, so you're going to cleanse and tone, and we're going to go with a serum. This is a firming serum, but there's serums that are antioxidants, that will help fight free radicals, which kind of corrode your skin. You want to avoid that. You want to keep your skin cells plump, and rejuvenated, by having them come to the surface, so there's serums for the eyes, and serums for the face. I'm going to go with a good firming eye cream. What this is going to do is lift, and moisturize your eyes. It will lift and firm. It lifts up and out. This is Lancome. It's my favorite firming eye cream, and on the outs of the eye, in a C. Eye cream never needs to go on the inside of the eye, here. It will move there naturally, with the movement of your eye. If you have dark circles, and puffiness, you want to take our eye gel, and put it in this area, in this area. We're not going to do that, since Nancy has a nice under eye area. Next, for daytime, we're going to go with an antioxidant moisture lotion, that has a sunscreen. I'd like for you to shoot for at least a fifteen, but more like a thirty is my preference, so you want to get that on, because protecting your skin from the sun, is the very most important thing you can do, to keep yourself from aging badly, so, cleanse, tone, moisturize. Find the right products for your skin. If you don't know what type of skin you have, go to the department store, and get a skin analysis. Don't forget to exercise. Drink lots of water, quit smoking if you smoke, and enjoy beautiful skin much longer, look younger longer."
