It definitely works great without a cotton pad, and nowadays, it is not really necessary, as modern cleansers effectively remove dirt, sweat, oil, makeup, and sunscreen from the skin.
@@athenamaurer9404 I just looked at your avatar, haha! 😄 So, you grew up with Paula's Choice. I still like their formulations a lot, as they blend smoothly into the skin. However, they have become very pricey here, and nowadays there are great, affordable competitors that seem to work just as well. Have you tried any others yet?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet have know about her since 93 in our early 20’s. Now in our late 40’s. Yes too many choices and much pricier than before. Have been starting to look elsewhere like u. You’re videos of other brands are very helpful as far as shopping.
@@athenamaurer9404 Oh wow! 😀 She was also my first guide to "honest" skincare, but about 20 years later, now I think it has turned a bit. Since she is gone, it doesn't feel quite the same anymore. Anyway, it's just the price that turns me off, but still great formulations. What products/brands were you looking at?
Hey melissa..i was using la rochay posay sunscreen before..it was bit moisturizer in it i think..but now i got la rochay posay 100% mineral 50 spf/fps..it look foundation..and brown in colour..is that gud for skin???? Because i have bit sunspots on cheeks..can i use this????if yes then after how much time i will get rid off from sunspots?? M using paula choice vitamin c 15% before it..using sunscreen only once in a day time..not using night time..plzz let ke know 100% mineral is good for sensitive skin????
Hey! :) I guess that you are using a tinted sunscreen. Usually mineral sunscreens have a bit of a tint in it to reduce a white cast. Yes, mineral sunscreens are recommended for sensitive skin since they are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Paula's Choice Vitamin C can help to reduce hyperpigmentation on the skin surface and the sunscreen protects the skin to prevent new ones.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thnku so much..tinted sunscreen is good??? My skin is sensitive..i was scaring because it is looking like foundation..is that safe for skin?? My skin is sensitive
Hallo, can u advice me. I have oily skin with lots of sebum+ hyperpigmentation/ acne scars. Wich BHA can u recommand me? Heard van tiktok video lots of good comments about Revox Alpha arbutin ? What do u think? Am curruntly using G&G products range only.
Nowadays, these BHA serums are very similar, so you will have the same experience (performance vice) if they are in the same pH range as they usually are. I do not see any need to change it. You can go with G&G. They do not offer an Alpha Arbutin, so there you need to use another brand; I also assume that they have similar performance, so use the one you think works best. I personally like The Ordinary products most, as their formulations are very simple and the quality+price is excellent.
Hi Melissa I was wondering if this routine is ok. I am acne Prone. Any thing you would add or change. I am 15...thanks for any help!! AM: Cera Ve Renewing SA Cleanser Hydrating Toner TO Niacinamide Cera Ve Am moisturizer/sunscreen PM: M/W/F Cera Ve Foaming Facial Cleanser Paul’s 2% Exfoliate TO Niacinmide Paula’s Extra Strength Clearing Benzoil Cera Ve PM moisturizer PM: T/Th same as morning routine but PM moisturizer. Sunday PM: Cere Va Foaming Face Wash TO Peeling Solution TO Niacinamide Cerave PM Moisturizer
Hey! Your routine looks great! However, I do want to add; please make sure that you adjust the frequency when using Paula's Choice 2% BHA and that you can use Paula's Choice Benzoyl Peroxide Gel daily (if that's fine for your skin) whenever you get active breakouts. Also, you may just want to use the Peeling Solution once per week or even less often.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much!! My mom went and bought me all the stuff so I am going to start!! You have really helped us figure out what will hopefully be a good routine...I mainly getting acne on my forehead and I hate it.
As always...watching..but not always giving a reaction..... I , personally, find it applying so much sunscreen at once just to heavy...? I like to layer it... I know it make take some time but I will like to know... so far... what your application method is( regardless of it is chemical, mineral or the SPF)..... sorry, I just realized this video is about BHA'S... 😐...
Hey Manuel :) Yes, you told me this already. If you prefer to layer, go ahead and do it! :) There is nothing wrong with it. What's important is the amount of sunscreen that you are using so that you can evenly apply it all over :)
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet 😁..sorry I forgot you remember everything....sorry for not commenting on your videos lately. Vacation..too much work.. happy weekend Melissa!!!
@@manuelgonzalez785 Haha 😃I don't have that many people commenting. It's tranquil now, not sure why, but something is wrong with the markets :). But yes, I can remember most of it because I take my time to do so and do it daily. Too much work is excellent, which keeps you busy, especially during these times. It's great to have you here, and thanks for starting commenting again 😃 Happy Weekend 🥰
I’ve always used a cotton pad. I’ve never done it just using my 🙌 will definitely give that a try 😊
