hi guys welcome back to my channel if
you're new don't forget to subscribe and
press the bell and engage with me today
I wanted to talk about ways to stay
young forever first I wanted to say huge
thank you to all a for sponsoring this
video I get so many comments from you
guys from people that I made that I look
really young and it actually used to be
such an annoying thing for me I tried so
hard to look older we all do when we are
teenagers but now I really do enjoy it
especially when people think that I'm
like 13 or 14 years old what I always
say I invest in my skincare now the
first thing I'm going to talk about is
the introduction of the right
ingredients honestly skincare has been
such a fast-paced evolving industry but
there are some things that are just so
so proven to help you and your skin so
one ingredient that I feel like is so so
crucial to start introducing into our
skincare routine is retinol so what is
retinol retinol is vitamin A that
encourage skin turnover so as I
mentioned and you mid-20s that process
starts kind of slowing down
also think about hormonal changes like
pregnancies three of them I better know
before and something that you experience
with retinol at times is that it leaves
your skin July and sensitive which is
what happened to me so I kind of stopped
doing that and then now that turning 30
this year I really wanted to introduce a
retinol into my skincare routine but
also try to find one that will work with
my skin here I am introducing you the
product that I've been using for about I
would say four or five months now this
is the Oliv retinol 24 and I am using
the night serum so there are other
products in the line and for me I really
saw the night serum work best for me to
incorporate it into my
existence skincare routine so what made
this specific product interesting to me
is the fact that it also contains
vitamin b3 which helps with any
irritation of sensitivity which works
amazing with retinol that is known to
irritate a little bit so not only that
it's preventative for any wrinkles but
also really helpful with again
discoloration that even skin tone acne
scars this one hasn't caused any
irritation whatsoever and just kind of
seamlessly went into my skincare routine
how I like to use it is I will wash my
face I usually double cleanse at night
and then I'll put a little bit of my
essence or face mist on and then I'll
put my retinol and then I'll use a
little bit of this hydration serum that
I have and then I'll put my nighttime
oil and just to seal everything in this
is safe to use every day I've been using
it every night but you have to make sure
that you use SPF every single day be
very diligent about it and honestly it's
so important either way that you have to
make sure you use SPF every single day
because if there's anything that causes
damage to the skin
if UV rays if you want to learn more
about the product about how you use it
any questions whatsoever you can check
out in my description box website or
late at CA that will give you much more
information on retinol the second thing
I want you to think about for yourself
and it's something that is not a
surprise but sunscreen to guys it's been
literally proven that the number one
cause for premature aging is sun damage
UV rays and trust me there is no one
that loves basking in the Sun more than
this person but I flatter myself in
sunscreen like there's no tomorrow I
feel like we a lot of depends our not
too diligent about it so we have to just
make it into a religious habit if
there's like a moisturizer that has like
SPF in it
not enough honestly double up for me
even if I use a product that has a CF in
it I want to make sure that I am so
fully protected that I you use another
layer of specific just sunscreen there's
a lot of great products out there that I
just have really good sunscreen
sunscreen that also has a little bit of
tint to it so it can just be your kind
of a layer or a base for your makeup so
go out there try different things and
see what works the next component I
struggle with sleep getting efficient
amount of sleep and that good deep
quality sleep is extremely important for
our bodies obviously ideally you want
between 7 to 8 hours but it's just
especially for me specifically I feel
like I don't get that really deep sleep
anymore so I started using just
different things that helped me to
ensure that I'll have a good night's
sleep I obviously don't hit the 7 8 hour
mark every time but I try my best so I
wanted to share with you some of the
things that I do that helps me so one of
the things is meditating before going to
sleep I use guided meditation it just
kind of relaxes me and puts my brain in
a less busy' kind of state of mind that
includes obviously breath work and just
affirmation and this visualization and I
feel like it kind of prompts me into
that ok it's time to settle down and go
to sleep and then another item that I
found to be really really helpful is a
weighted blanket this has been such a
good invention I don't know how it took
us so long to figure this out so a
weighted blanket is basically a heavier
blanket it just feels like someone is
giving you a hug while you sleep it's
very breathable it's just very cozy
there has been some studies done that
showed how you know this is amazing for
anyone that suffers from anxiety or from
depression or for in general just need
that extra help to sleep fall asleep
stay asleep and enjoy a good night
sleeeeep the food that we put into our
body you have to make sure that you
supply your body with the right
ingredients there's so much education
out there and there's honestly kind of
the same repetitive messaging you see
across the board you want to eat healthy
fats for skin health you want to make
sure that you get your proteins it
doesn't have to come in animal form
there's a lot of plant-based protein out
there I really try to go vegan it
completely didn't work for me and then I
try to go a hundred percent plant-based
it did not work for me but what I'm
trying to do is marry both of my kind of
traditional way of eating with more
plant-based and then something that I
started reading about that's been really
helpful and you guys let me know if you
want a bigger like format video
explaining the concept it's intermittent
fasting that has been a really
interesting topic that's been proven
over and over again to be actually a
very important part of just longevity
and health in general which obviously
connects as well to our skin and the way
we look especially for women I think
it's so extremely important so I am all
about the nuts the seeds I'm all about
avocados and fish really try to find
sources of fats that you can incorporate
on a daily basis into your diet I do
want to talk about supplements and as I
mentioned if you can get a lot of these
vitamins and nutrients from food sources
that's amazing
but the one thing the one thing I can
kind of attest you from personal
experience is collagen supplements so I
personally have been using collagen a
powder for the past I would say six
seven years when we're teens and we're
when we in our early 20s we have a you
know a good sufficient amount of
collagen in our bodies but then we start
losing 1%
once you hit 21 percent a year and then
it just goes like right once it started
kind of researching a little deeper into
other collagen
that is that's where I learned a little
bit more about the support it gives the
skin and hair and nails and things like
that with the collagen powder I'll
actually add it every morning into my
coffee just blended and I'm good to go
and you can add it anywhere it's also a
great source of protein you can put it
in your smoothies and yeah mainly in
your smoothies I wouldn't go into foods
they'll be weird next up is this amazing
new way to take care of your skin what
I've been doing is using tools like the
Jade roller and recently the past year
I've introduced my skin and my daily
routine the gwasha tool so if you guys
are not familiar with these babies these
are basically an ancient Chinese method
of keeping your skin vibrant and really
much of kind of a lymphatic drainage
taking out any toxins relaxing your
facial muscles which is something that
we don't really do the lines form when
we keep using the same muscles but we
don't really exercise that we don't
stretch them so these kind of tools are
really all about deep bloating about
keeping the elasticity and to really
stretch the fascia in your skin there
are such amazing tutorials out there I'm
gonna put one of my favorites in the
description box of explanation of how to
use these tools specifically if it's for
deep bloating if it's for contouring
like wash I found is an amazing way to
contour your face you have to be
dedicated but I try to do it every night
it's honestly in my opinion have done
amazing things for my skin the skin
feels more glowy and all you need to do
with this is making sure that you put
oil on your skin before you start
scraping your skin thank you guys so
