Hi guys, it's Monica. I am going to answer a couple of questions that I get asked repeatedly. And at the end of this video, I'm going to do a giveaway. I'm going to give away some more of that blank eyelash serum. So if you're interested, please stay tuned. And if you're not, and you're going to leave because I'm going to talk about eyelashes and retina or whatever, give me a thumbs up anyways. I truly appreciate every single one of you. So first of all, I have gotten a number of questions regarding my retina use. How am I using retina? What am I doing to my skin to my neck? Now, I always say that I'm a creature of habit, but that said, I listen to my skin. So if I am having a whole lot of reactions, I'm going to lighten it up. I'm going to switch it around a little bit. But usually at night, when I come home, the first thing I do if I'm going to be home for the evening is I remove all my makeup. If I'm not filming, I'm filming. So my makeup is still on. It's the end of the day though. So I usually remove all my makeup. And I stop that process early sometimes because a lot of times, Jay might be working. He might not be home until 930 or something of that nature. So what do I care if I'm walking around with naked skin? But so I take all my makeup off, my mascara, the whole nine yards. And then I usually tone my skin. And even though I use retina, I sometimes, and you're not supposed to do this. So you guys need to just do what works for you. But I actually sometimes use a glycolytic toner, even on nights that I'm using retina, which is a big no-no. But I think my skin is used to it. I think I probably get a tolerance for it. And I really, my glycolytic toner currently and has been for quite a while of choice is the Ordinary glycolytic. This is a 7% toning solution. And this I have got from the Ordinary. They're very affordable. This tends to sell out quickly. So I was going to look over my little stash. I believe have a backup. And the other one that I have really, really liked in this, I think, Lori from Pride. The photo was had first talked about this. And this is a career and toner. I'm going to link this product below. Clares. So anyways, I'll link it below so that you can not, you can get the, you know, the correct name. So I usually put that on my skin. I let it dry. After that, every single night, no matter what, unless I'm going to be dermaroling, I use my niacinamide. I will put niacinamide from the Ordinary, especially on my nose. I have huge, huge pores on my nose on my forehead. So I really, really put the niacinamide on. I let that soak in. To me, that's a really good thing to soak in. And then at one point, I don't know, half hour, hour, it doesn't matter. It all depends on what I'm doing. I'll go in and I will use my retina. I will say that the majority of the time I'm using my 1% retinae, I have it in a gel. I like the gel. When I reorder, I may or may not get the gel. I may get, go to the cream. I don't know yet. But I am liking the gel. I do buy it over in India. It is very, very affordable for me in my immediate area in New England. The tube that I buy, I should have these out. But the tube that I would buy here would be roughly about $345. If I use good hour X, I can get this for 80, 89, 90. But the pharmacist said to me when I go to refill it, I'm going to pay whatever price is going at that point in time. So anyways, I do have the three strengths I've talked about that before. Probably because I don't pay a whole lot of money for it. I'm pretty generous. I put it all over my face. I avoid the corners of my eyes. Obviously, I don't go really close to my eyes. And I do go right above here. When I'm done that, I will then go in. And this has only been since about February of this year that I've been using this. And I'll go in and I will use it. I will use the OLA Pro Retinaal Eyes. I have both the UK version and the US version as many of you have seen. And I typically will take this and I will just put a little drop and I concentrate it on my deep lines and into the crevices here and then about up here. So I just kind of tap it in a little bit. I don't use a lot of this. And then once that's done, I take my weakest retinae, which is a 0.025% and I take my Rose Hips Seed Oil. I love Rose Hips Seed Oil. As much as I love it, I don't use it on my face. I don't know why. And I know many people do when they love it and that's fine. I just don't. But I will take a drop, a globber, more than a pea size, probably two pea sizes, of my retina in the palm of my hand. And then I take a dropper, you know, a couple of drops of this of the Rose Hips Seed Oil and I mix it in. And then I just go all over my neck down into this area. And I just really cover it. And I actually should do along my hands as well. And then I let all of that sink in and I may do nothing else to the night before I go to bed. I'm going to be putting in. And I've used this consistently now. I want to say since November of 2016, I use a BVNM cream. Again, this is just what I do. I've noticed the knife that I don't use this, that I wake up. My skin is not as nice as the knife when I do use this. So it says it's a BVNM face mask. And this is the one I buy at TJ Maxx. I just put it all over my face. And I let that just dry overnight and I go to bed. And then when I wake up in the morning, my skin is actually pretty moist. So that's my nighttime routine. It has been somewhat the same for a long time. I really, really like it. Now, the next question I get asked is since I've been using the OLAIs, what am I doing with the Navea? Navea, Navea, Navea, whatever. What am I doing with this? So once a week, I derma roll my face. I've been doing that for quite a while. Twice a week, if possible, I derma roll my hair. I don't always do it twice a week. On the night that I derma roll my face, I take the Navea and I put a very little bit, just a little tiny drop. Whoops, came out too far. I just put a little tiny drop and I go onto the, the round little, fat pockets of my eyes. Above. I just put a dab on there. I don't put a whole lot on there. It doesn't impact. It doesn't go near the OLAI because I never put the OLAI there. I don't really use this anywhere else. I've tried to use it on my jowls. I always forget it. I've never noticed a difference. I think with the fat pockets, I think they're as good as they're going to get. So dropping down to using this once a week is fine by me. I never had a reaction from any of this. I never got any dryness and the same thing with the OLAI. You know, I haven't, other than an initial, when I first started using it, I could see a little bit of flakies. I haven't had any of that since that point in time. So that's pretty well my nighttime routine. The OLAI works well every single night and one night a week when I do the Navea. It doesn't impact it. Again, then I will also use my eyelash serum and I've been using the Blink and the thing with the Blink is you've got to make sure just like care-prosting the other product. You're not cleaning your lashes off with an oily cleanser. It's going to be oil-free. So that said, I'm doing a giveaway for the Blink. This is going to be open internationally.
