The ingredients can be purchased on Amazon or a DIY skincare vendor (I had trouble finding a one stop shop in the UK so I had to use one from Germany - https://www.alexmo-cosmetics.de/?lang=eng)

https://diyfaceguy.com/ for more videos, discount codes and as I do procedures any research/fact sheets or materials i've found useful i'll put on here for you to download.

My recording equipment is below, listed just because it vexed me how bad my first few videos were, when I was using my phone. I had no knowledge of camera equipment so trying to figure out what I needed and of course what I could afford on my limited budget, for what is essentially just little videos on the internet lol, was quite the struggle.

So although I am very much still just learning hopefully the below might give you a starting point if you are thinking about making videos too.
