52-Year-Olds Share Their Skin Care Routines & Cosmetic Procedures With No Filter

Hi, I'm Jean and I'm 52 years old.

I'm 52 years old.

I am 52 years old.

I'm 52 years old.

[All] I'm 52 years old.

We are not wearing any makeup.

We're going to share our skincare routines

and what cosmetic procedures we've had done.

[bright music]

Okay, so I have had Botox on my forehead,

my elevens, my crow's feet.

I just recently got fillers for the very first time

on my nasal labial.

The only thing I have had done was permanent eyeliner

on my upper eyelids.

I've not had any cosmetic procedures.

The only work I have done is two dental implants.

I have done no cosmetic procedures.

I've had everything done, honey. [laughs]

I've done fraxel.

I've done tixel.

I love peels, all kinds of peels.

A little hyaluronic acid,

just to zhuzh here and here, there.

Little bit of what my dermatologist calls baby Botox.

Just a drop right there, right there.

That's it. Nothing crazy.

So I've used Botox since I was about 35,

only on my forehead.

About twice a year, I get it done.

I get Botox and daxxify twice a year

in between my eyes, my forehead, and the crow's feet.

I have never had any cosmetic surgery

and I don't get any injectables,

but I do have facials About every three months.

When I am splurging, I get a diamond glow facial,

because that one is very pricey.

So I've had one orchiectomy, three breast augmentations,

a facial feminization surgery times one,

which included a chin implant times two,

a rhinoplasty times three,

cheek implants times one and a half,

and forehead reconstruction.

I also had a tracheotomy. [lips slicks]

I think I'm done.

What do I spend in a year on creams,

potions, lotions, and procedures,

and taking care of my youthful glow?

I've lost track.

And I'm a little bit embarrassed to say,

but I couldn't begin to add it up.

Totally have no idea what I spent,

but it's probably safe to say over five grand a year.

Gotta be less than a hundred dollars.

Yeah, it's not a lot.

I don't spend too much money or time thinking about it.

Every year, I spend about $2,500 on procedures

and about five, at least $500 on products.

I probably spend around $500 a year,

including the makeup that I use, which is not much.

Between three and $6,000.

$2,500.

$600 a year on skincare.

Seven to $8,000 on skincare per year.

One of my closest friends is a dermatologist,

so I don't have to pay for a lot of these services,

which would be a lot more money,

but I would estimate anywhere from 1500 to 2000.

You know, I don't use overly expensive products.

I focus on formulation over packaging and branding.

The products that I use really go a long way

so I spend roughly 150 to 200 a year,

and that's really helpful.

Okay, so my morning skincare routine,

I've used the same cleanser for about 25 years.

I use Murad anti-acne cleanser.

The other parts of my routine of change

since I hit menopause,

so I use the La Mer resurfacing serum

and then the treatment lotion.

And then during the day, I use the mattifying lotion,

and then I use Murad mattifying sunblock.

Part of the reason I credit my skin looking so good

is I've used this mattifying sunblock for years.

This is beauty by breast cancer.

The way I started using La Mer

was someone in one of the groups, I have radiation burns,

and they were like, Oh, this really worked for me.

And so I'd never considered using a product that was $350.

But then when it worked on my skin, I was like, Oh!

At night, the only thing that changes in my routine

is that I use La Mer soft cream

instead of the mattifying lotion.

In the morning I wash my face with really cold water,

and I use Kiehl's Facial Fuel Face wash.

In the evening, I do the same,

but I also use a moisturizer with collagen in it

about three to five times a week.

I use micellar water,

sometimes additionally cleanser by La Roche-Posay

that cleanses and exfoliates and treats hyperpigmentation.

Then I use my face serum, eye serum, and my face cream.

And sometimes I also, well, sometimes,

every day I add in tubes from my dermatologist.

Retin-A, but Retin-A usually at night.

Hydroquinone for dark spots.

And then I seal it all with a layer of sunscreen,

topped with sunscreen powder.

Sometimes when I do have time, I like to do whole facials,

exfoliation, scrub, mask, dermaflash.

Now you're gonna think I'm a little bit obsessive,

but at home I have spa equipment, I have radio frequency,

high frequency, infrared, blue light, red light.

I can't resist a beauty gadget.

So anything that they're selling

that's gonna like smooth me out, brighten me,

tighten me, glow me out, I, [sighs] I buy it.

That's the truth. [chuckles]

Right now I'm using a Neutrogena, a gentle cleanser.

After that, I apply a moisturizer by RoC

that has SPF in it.

So that's all in one.

Every once in a while, I'll also add a little oil to my face

underneath the moisturizer.

At the end of the day,

I make sure that I'll use a makeup wipe,

and then I will cleanse my face once again

with that same cleanser.

Sometimes I'll add a little bit of a scrub

to really get deep in it.

Once everything's done, then I'll add a moisturizer again,

a nighttime moisturizer.

It just really helps to keep my skin moisturized

when I'm about to go to sleep.

So in the morning,

I use a Japanese cleansing oil on my dry skin.

I put moisturizer on my face

and I use Sonia Rosselli called water balm.

Sometimes I alternate that with just CeraVe.

And then my foundation or the moisturizer

has sunscreen in it.

In evening, I use the same Japanese cleansing oil

by Sonia Rosselli

and then use a really nice thick moisturizer by ISDIN.

And I also use their neck cream

'cause I'm trying to keep everything balanced.

I use CeraVe Foam-to-Cream cleanser in the morning,

followed by a Juara Tamarind Tea Toner.

And then afterwards, I use a vitamin C serum from Vichy.

And then after that,

BareMinerals Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30.

And then I add additional SPF from La Roche-Posay.

Nighttime, if I have makeup on,

I remove the makeup with ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm,

then followed by the CeraVe foam to a cream cleanser.

And after that, I use various retinols,

I just have like a whole bunch of them,

followed by a thicker moisturizer.

And I also have like several

different moisturizers that I use.

I use the whole revitalift skincare treatment by L'Oreal.

I use their exfoliation cream, their soap,

their wrinkle cream.

I apply that to my forehead and to my crow's feet.

And then I apply the moisturizer

that I use every single day.

And then if I choose, I wear makeup and I go up on my day.

In the evening, I use the same revitalift system.

When I wake up in the morning,

I typically wash my face in the shower

with a Neutrogena face wash.

And then I apply either moisturizer or a tinted moisturizer.

So at night, I add a Neutrogena toner,

and then my nighttime cream

is Eucerin Q10 anti-wrinkle cream.

My morning skincare routine

is to splash my face with water and then I wash

with Eucerin hyaluronic acid jelly facial wash.

I put on a SkinCeuticals toner, a RoC moisturizer,

a Neutrogena eye cream, and a Burt's Bees lip pomade.

At night, I wash with Curology creamy cleanser.

Then I put on TNS Serum, Gold Bond Retinol moisturizer

to my face and my chest.

A PCA eye cream and a Neutrogena sleep mask lip mask.

When I first wake up to start the day,

I wash with ordinary soap and warm water.

And occasionally, we'll use an exfoliator.

At night, I never forget to use

a really rich, thick moisturizer, slather my face on,

Olay Night Moisturizing Cream or Queen Helene cocoa butter.

But it's essential,

don't go to bed without your moisturizer.
