I'll be turning 58 years old in a few weeks. I totally agree skincare is wicked important. Especially sunscreen. Everyone should use sunscreen! P.S. You look fabulous!
My husband and I are 58. As I watched this video, I told him your age. He was amazed! You are likely the most beautiful woman we have ever seen. Please, enjoy your looks and take confidence from them. Thanks for sharing and trying to teach us what to do with ourselves!
Yes, she sure is a beautiful looking lady! If you compared her with the movie actresses who also haven't had any fillers, botox, I'm sure that this lady would win hands down!! She has a very lucky man to have such a beautiful woman by his side!
You are so stunning and it's so refreshing to hear that you can achieve beautiful skin without fillers or surgeries. I have nothing against those things at all but I would like to avoid them so I literally just ordered every product on your list using your affiliate links. Happy to support your channel and love all of your helpful information.
Melissa, I can only say I found out about you channel recently and it has been an inspiration! Not only when it comes to skincare but also how your attitude towards life is clearly part of what makes you glow so much. I adore all of your videos, especially the ones where you share your wisdom and lessons from life. Truly an inspiration and a role model to any woman who wants to live life and grow old as graciously as you Ps: I love your accent
If I look 1/2 as good as you do at 64, I will count myself blessed. I love how open you are and how you explain everything you do as well as all of the background info. Thank you for such a good video!
Gosh this touched me deeply. I'm having one of those emotional days we sometimes have and this was just so uplifting to read. Thank you for that. Love, Melissa
You are a breath of fresh air Melissa! You’re making the healthiest choice for your body by not going the invasive route. I’m 66 and have had a traumatic injury early in life so elective surgery is out for me. Thank you for guiding us mature women on a more natural path. ❤️
Ok, so I'm using your exact skinregimen (except Retin A) and wow - after 3 weeks, I see a huge, beautiful difference. Obagi + Shiseido - excellent combo for me. Thank you so much!!
Started using OTC retinol about a year ago “drunk elephant a-passioni”, and recently I’ve moved on to prescription tretinoin. I have a whole skincare regimen, but I’m discovering less is more. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Gorgeous skin!
LMG 88 it’s so interesting you ask that. I honestly feel like the passioni has done nothing for my skin after a year of use. I’ve been using tretnoin for a few weeks now and it’s been rough. My skin is peeling like crazy. Trying to put it on less so that my skin gets accustomed to it.
@@harliemccarthy5485 definitely. It’s been about a year and I’ll say my skin is still not 100% acclimated to it. I still get flakey/dry every now and then but I’m sticking with it!
I really enjoy your videos. You don’t need to prove to anyone you haven’t done any procedures. That’s just unkind of people to keep saying. Rude. You’ve been honest and very open . Anyhow, thank you for sharing what you’re using. You are a beautiful woman. Inside and out. I pray your husband and family member are both going to be fine. God bless you sweet lady.
Hey Pretty Girl, I have been using retin a for 3 years & I can tell a big difference in my skin! Thank you! Thank you! You do not realized how many women you have helped!
If I were rich I would buy from all your affiliate links. You have the most honest and best disclosure I've ever seen. I hope everyone uses your links. I respect that so much.
Amen!! Never thought she was going on 65 like whhhaaaattttt 🤯 She looks 20 ➕ years young.... Seriously my goals!! Wow..... I need more Retinol.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
My son at 21 has crones. He almost died. He now gets treatments every month. Very expensive. I hope someday he wont need to have them. You give me hope that he can have a long life.
Diet is HUGE on how the skin ages . I’d love to see what all has been pretty consistent/regular consumption in your food and drink choices over the years?
I am going to answer the questions below here. I have always tried to eat well. I rarely have things like cakes or cookies or pies. I make exceptions during holidays. With the Crohn's and I apologize if this is too graphic, but I got to the bathroom about 10 times a day at least. More if I get in a flair, so I don't absorb vitamins like others do, and I have so much of my intestines missing that there just aren't there to absorb the nutrients. It's a struggle. I take extra iron and get B12 shots to help. I can't eat many raw vegetables because it rubs against the diseased parts of my intestines and makes me sick, so I roast vegetables. I can't really eat like other people can because of this disease, so I just try to eat a well balanced diet the best I can. I do try to drink a lot of water because I have had to go to the emergency room quite a lot to get IVs when the diarrhea gets too bad. Sorry about all the information!!!! lol It's just so hard to explain my diet because of the disease. Many thanks, Melissa
Irina Popa as someone with a very similar condition to Melissa, I have found that my body reacts best when processed carbs are eliminated. Things like brown rice and sweet potatoes are fine for me. I have been vegan, mostly meat, nearly keto and the thing that’s worked the most is just listening to my body and eliminating things as they become a problem.
Just came across you on TH-cam. You look truly amazing and it’s delightful that you don’t use anything other than basic skincare, make up and a tiny bit of hrt. I love this as so many women are ruining their faces. I’m 61 and can’t bear the thought of anything other than the same but wish I looked as young as you! I hope you are well during this pandemic. Best wishes from Wales, U.K. 🏴
I"ve been watching Melissa a long time and she is the real deal!!! The real McCoy!!!. The singer/actress "CHER" always gave credit to Retin-A for her gorgeous skin... I think if you use Retin-A and make your skin a priority like Melissa does you'll see beautiful results too. But, let's face it, Melissa is just beautiful inside and out!!! She is also young at heart!!! Thanks Melissa for sharing all your skincare secrets!!! (Anita)
You are proof that genes don't matter and you can have beautiful skin despite genetics! I love my handknit washcloths too! Love the idea of doing an update video yearly. Love you my friend. ♥ Elle
@@handotkay She said her mother had horrible skin and has shown pictures of her mother who, as Melissa said, didn't have nice skin. Melissa has gorgeous skin so I was joking in saying that genetics don't matter as she didn't get her skin from her mother!
@@handotkay She was teasing me because I've shown her pictures of my mother. If I have her genetics, I'm doomed!! lol My mother had horrible skin. and the thing that was interesting is that she had men just crazy about her. It's when I realized a lot of so called sex appeal wasn't about wrinkles or things like that but attitude. She would walk into a room and own it. It was amazing to see. Anyway, thanks so much! Melissa
You have just gained a new subscriber! Just wow, your hair, teeth, skin and even no sign of aging on neck.. A true preserved beauty. I'm 21 but I hope I can age gracefully too
Better not to age at all. It is cumulative damages from toxicity and nutritional deficiency. Everyone should reject every pharma drug (they're toxic aberrations) - including needless vaccines - and heal with herbs, Homeopathy, and the plethora of other pure products - e.g., Calcium Bentonite Clay, pure water, and Miracle II soap.
Simply Amazing . I follow several mature youtubers like Angie from Hot n Flashy and they all use so many products on their skin. Makes me wonder if we really need all that stuff after watching you!
Jennifer Smith - I agree. Less is more. I love Angie but she uses too much crap on her skin. And she didn't start serious skincare until she was 50. You need to start early to have results like this.
@@marlynnek6449 - Yes, if I used as much goop as Angie says she does, my face would be disgustingly oily. All those layers, then moisturiser, sun screen and foundation makeup. My skin wouldn't tolerate it.
I am behind the times with technology but I so wish I had found your videos years ago! I have Crohns and the disease and biologics have caused some problems with my skin. I am anxious to see your videos. Thank you for your time to help those of us that are older feel better about ourselves. Love your attitude and help. God bless you and your health, I know what you go through🙏🕊
I’m 20 years old, and you inspire me so much to take care of my skin. My mother and father have aged really gracefully without having much of a skincare routine, and I wonder how long I can look youthful if I really take my skincare and anti aging seriously!
Aside for your glorious glowy skin, you have the most beautiful blue eyes! Loved this video, it was so clear and simple to follow along and understand. Loved the demonstration at the end. I am getting ready to film a skincare routine in my bathroom as well. I am dreading it cause I have still trying to figure out how I am going to manage to get my camera or iPhone set up in that tiny bathroom of mine. Sigh! But you did a great job! So sorry that your videos are being stolen by unscrupulous companies trying to push their skin products. I sure hope all of us here on TH-cam boycott anything they have to sell it is the only way they will be going out of business. Happy New Year! xoxo Maria
That is so very kind of you, Maria. Oh you are so pretty! I do have my tripod over the toilet as my bathroom is very small. So you can do this, girl! I sure appreciate it so much. Love, Melissa
@@Melissa55 I didn't think to put it on the toilet! LOL Duh!!!! Okay I will see how that angle works. Normally I have a suction cup like holder (the kind you use in the car for the phones) that I try to attach to the bathroom mirror right in front of me but it tends to wobble downward due to the weight of the phone. Not a good system. Hugs and keep warm, you might get some snow in a day or so! Maria
I’m so glad you highlighted sunscreen, I’ve worked in theatre with plastic surgeons and ALL have said , IF you want to slow down ageing dramatically USE SUNSCREEN, every day! The drs and nurses I’ve worked with over the years that have slapped sunscreen on everyday absolutely show slower ageing signs, and significantly better skin. I can tell now just from looking signs of sun damage, you know even if you use generic no name sunscreen and start early you will save so much sun damage. Also don’t be put off by the feel of a sunscreen, different brands use different formulas keep trying to find a formula that fits for you. Thanks for the upload
@TH-cam Watch well the point is sunscreen actually can save a life, and absolutely can stop damaged skin that leads to cancer, after seeing the damage sun can and does ravish your body once melanoma takes hold first hand and how quickly skin cancer can take off due to over exposure that could other wise be negotiated by the wearing of sunscreen, I’ll use sunscreen. It’s not a slave to sunscreen it’s a slave to protection. I can’t underestimate the tragedy the damage ravished on a persons body, and all too often that particular cancer could’ve been stopped by sunscreen.ive seen this first hand working with surgeons and knowing the pathology of these skin cancers it’s awful, staying inside for the whole of your life is neither healthy or practical
You look lovely Melissa. You got me started on Obaji about 4 yrs. I use it every day and it is the best..I have seen great results. Your hair is looking great, maybe consider a video on what you are currently using and how you style it. Thanks sweetie, Love Liz💕💕
Thank you so much, Liz!!! Several people in my family use Obagi and have for years and they have the best skin! I truly believe in the line. Many thanks, Melissa
Also, when I was in the hospital 2 months ago, my hair and skin suffered..when I got home my skin recovered quickly when I resumed my usual Obaji skin care regime, however, my hair is now shedding a lot, which I know is normal because of the trauma. Has your hair gotten back to normal? It sure looks great. I know you used Nioxin, which products did you use and what are you using now? I appreciate your input. It is unsettling to see so much hair coming out😔 Thanks Melissa❤️
Woah, such a beautiful lady! Definitely encourages me to continue with my skincare routine- hopefully I’ll look at youthful as you when I reach the same age !x
Thank you so much ! This video has inspired me greatly - I want to better my skin care and exercise consistency towards it. You are so beautiful, inside and out :)
You have the most incredible bone structure - those cheekbones are to die for! Thank you for sharing your routine. Beautiful skin. Do you take any supplements? Would love to know what you eat in a day, too :)
You are stunning, Melissa. I fell off the couch when you mentioned your age because you look at least twenty five years younger. Btw, I am a new subscriber and look forward to watching your videos. Stay blessed!
I have Crohn's as well! I have had 2 surgeries and humira injections weekly. I understand you fears and concerns. Its really is interestingly comforting that another TH-camr shares my disease. I dont feel as alone. Hugs, your a doll!!
You look and sound fabulous! You're vibrant, upbeat, and engaging to watch. I'm new to TH-cam and I'm watching you for tips on how to make my videos better. Thank you! I'm 61 years old.❤
First, you look amazing!! No botox, fillers, or plastic surgery? You certainly don't need it. None of us do! Why do we feel we have to look 35 when we are 65? I'm happy to age. It's how it is meant to be. I take very good care of myself and am not worried. I had my time to be young, now I pass the torch and enjoy middle age. I'm cool with that, I will tell you, that what you put on the inside is much more important to your skin then what you apply to the outside. Also, you don't have to justify why you purchase expensive skin care product to anyone. That is your business! I buy expensive everything because I can, and that is my business:) I don't feel bad about it. Be well
I appreciate you showing us your routine. If I'm correct, I think you did a breakdown how much your skincare cost you monthly last year and it was very affordable. It's definitely working for you. You are just so beautiful through and through Melissa. Truly! I hope you guys and Little Oliver have the Best New Year! Love you to the moon and back! xoxo Mary
You are so refreshing!! Just like the morning sun! Thank you for making me want to work harder on a constant skincare routine. BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! 😘😘😘
Your ageless! Stunning!!! I’m such a big believer in retin a too! I don’t buy any expensive skincare retin a is the best! Thank you for this video!! 🤗❤️
You are just so sweet, mel. I really have had good luck with Retin A. It just seems to consistently keep me exfoliated. Thank you and love to you, Melissa
Hi just want to say thank you , you inspire me I am 61 my name is Julia and my mom to had lots of dark spots on her arms and chest ,...I have them mostly on my arms, I have had alot of stress in my life ,I am a cancer survivor , and in the past I've been threw the lost of both my parents a nice and both my children, my daughter in 1981 , and my son in February 2017 , I have aged in the past 4 years than I have my whole life I am single and alone I do my best lately to take care of my skin and eat well with my income I can't afford expensive products, but make sure I wash my face day and night and use sunscreen , ...I absolutely believe what you said in one of your videos that finding joy in things is a must in staying well and looking and feeling better, love your honesty and seems to me you have a beautiful heart, with what you have been through with Chron's disease and I too am a worrier , you are beautiful on the inside as much as the outside , I look forward to seeing you here again , God Bless you have a wonderful day.
I’m an esthetician so I’m not surprised that you mentioned the GOATs I’ve always wanted to try obagi! Your so beautiful inside and out thank you for this video 🙏🙏🙏
I came across your videos whilst looking for information about how i can use the Retin A i have just bought and i am blown away ! you look INCREDIBLE!! you are an inspiration to all of us that are trying to stay younger looking and fresh whilst staying away from botox and fillers! MIND BLOWING! .. i a guy and i hope that my journey which i am starting at 49 gives me anything close to what you have achieved , Stunning!
So glad you did a new video. I have seen where they have used you and your routine in another product. I don't think you ever age. I've been watching you for a long time and you look the same. Just amazing!!!🥰
Your skin looks so amazing!! I am almost 35 and also have never had/do not ever plan to have botox or fillers so this was very inspiring! Thank you so much xo
Thank you so much Melissa....I always appreciate you taking the time and effort to film your routines. You look beautiful, and I SWEAR u r aging backwards!!! xoxo Gabrielle
I LITERALLY thought you were in your late 40's. I think I'm gonna have to follow you. I just started Retin A .025 a week ago every other night. I'm 48 and just want to stay youthful looking. You are beautiful!
Fell in love the first time I listened to you Melissa! You are so real and beautiful! I admire your routines for your age! I am a year older than you! So glad I found you in skin care over sixty!! Thank you!
She uses botox. Not once did her forehead move between her eyebrows. And the area around her eye where most people's cheeks would move up creating the eyes crow's feet and eyes squint. That is not normal.
I turned 58 this year. Yep you are correct that skin care is important. Although i use mine naturally, meaning that everything that I use are from my kitchen. You are beautiful.💕
Melissa I've decided that when I run through all these serums, lotions and potions around here, I'm adopting your streamlined routine. Thank you for the video. You look great as always.
You are probably one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my entire life. I mean, you look 25, but not just 25, a STUNNING 25. So you're drop dead gorgeous and utterly ageless which is an overused term, but you are the poster child for the term, ageless.
Classy Southern & Beautiful but your personality make you even more Beautiful. I am new to your channel & i love it. You are so sweet & kind. I just told my Mom (shes my bestfriend) i just told her abouth your Chanel because i think yall are about the same age. You have taught me so many things & i thank you so very much. Stay Classy, Sweet & Awesome.
I’ve been on Tretinoin for 3 months now and love it. Starting with Differin for about a year really helped the transition. A little dryness and a small breakout at first, but no other adverse side effects, applying it daily. I think that’s pretty fantastic! Prescribed for acne but god knows that’s not the main reason I wanted it 😂. I wanted to start early! 28 years old.
Kathy she bleaches her hair which always leaves a dry, dull, and sometimes frizzy looking hair; I know this from years of experience, myself. My heart goes out to her at having Crohn’s disease.
Melissa, thank you for sharing. Haven’t been on you tube much but it’s always a pleasure watching you. You are always kind, gracious and a delight to watch.
I think the dislikes are maybe the content or products used because she's lovely ,a few could be because some people feel jealous but we feel inspired !
No, she is naturally gorgeous and doesn't act conceited. You are probably comparing her with trimps wife who is conceited and selfish. We dont hate her for her beauty it's only because of her superior attitude. This woman is simply beautiful. Always was always will be.
I watched you for the first time today. As you know, your skin looks absolutely INCREDIBLE. Unbelievable! I'm 66, dealing with challenging situations in every area of my life, of which I have no control. Have realized the one thing I can take charge of is my skin. Specially my face. You are an incredible inspiration. I'm wondering if you have good skin 'genes.' Al Regardless, I am going to move towards following your routine. 2 Main reasons is that it is SIMPLE! Your skin. It's never too late to start...and I can take my focus off the things I can't change. Thank you.
Your skin is just gorgeous! I swear you look like you had at least one face lift. I am definitely going to start on Retin A now!!! You neck area is awesome; I also love your eye makeup. What kind of eye shadow do you wear?
You look great! I saw your video on Obagi nu derm review 3 years back and I’m amazed you look the same as I saw you 3 years back If not prettier! No signs of ageing! I’m very impressed! Thanks for your great videos
I really can hardly believe how naturally beautiful you are-what you are doing for your skin is certainly working! You could be a spokesperson for this brand of skin care!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your routine. I learned a lot. Please do not erased it when you upload a new one. It helps to see how gradualy incorporate other things. You look amazing outside and reflects your inside.
No surgeries but I DO think she uses Botox bc her eyebrows barely move and she is shiny in the forehead and between her brows. Not buying that she had no Botox procedure.
You can actually take estrogen indefinitely if you start within 5 to 10 year of menopause. I watch Menopause Taylor and learned that from her channel. .05 is the lowest you should go for skin patches (each method has its own lowest requirement) to have benefits of protecting you from osteoporosis, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
You are GORGEOUS!!!!!! I came across your video in my search for reviews on Obagi products and quickly became a subscriber! Thank you for all the information!! 💗
I'm 24 and I'm over here trying to figure out how to look like Melissa for the rest of my life
Good genetics helps, but it’s always good to start taking care of your skin, and stay out of the sun during peak hours.
Laura Laura smart gir!
I wish there where people like Melissa sharing this info when I was your age. I would follow what she does.
I had my first aging crisis at 25. We didn't have the internet or all these great products. Lucky young people!
@Pug idk girl I've started to incorporate some retinol here and there. try the ordinary granactive retinoid, it's good
You should model! I think you are an example for beauty at every age. You are gorgeous!
You are very kind, Doris and I am so grateful. Have a wonderful New Year! Love, Melissa
@Tristan Tries aw, thanks. I would fall and break my neck if I tried to do something like that. I'm pretty clumsy. hahahah. But thank you!
@Evogue You are too kind. Thank you!
I'll be turning 58 years old in a few weeks. I totally agree skincare is wicked important. Especially sunscreen. Everyone should use sunscreen!
P.S. You look fabulous!
You should model for real! Stunning gorgeous woman! New subscriber btw, im like half your age but want to look good like you at your age. Blessings ❤
My husband and I are 58. As I watched this video, I told him your age. He was amazed! You are likely the most beautiful woman we have ever seen. Please, enjoy your looks and take confidence from them. Thanks for sharing and trying to teach us what to do with ourselves!
Oh my word you are RIDICULOUSLY beautiful! i can only hope Iook half as good as you when I'm your age. I adore your joie de vivre
Oh thank you I so much!!!!’

I have been vegan, mostly meat, nearly keto and the thing that’s worked the most is just listening to my body and eliminating things as they become a problem.
Have you tried juicing? I hear it helps a ton with crohns and it’s good way to get those raw nutrients without the irritation
Just came across you on TH-cam. You look truly amazing and it’s delightful that you don’t use anything other than basic skincare, make up and a tiny bit of hrt. I love this as so many women are ruining their faces. I’m 61 and can’t bear the thought of anything other than the same but wish I looked as young as you! I hope you are well during this pandemic. Best wishes from Wales, U.K. 🏴
I"ve been watching Melissa a long time and she is the real deal!!! The real McCoy!!!. The singer/actress "CHER" always gave credit to Retin-A for her gorgeous skin... I think if you use Retin-A and make your skin a priority like Melissa does you'll see beautiful results too. But, let's face it, Melissa is just beautiful inside and out!!! She is also young at heart!!! Thanks Melissa for sharing all your skincare secrets!!! (Anita)
You are proof that genes don't matter and you can have beautiful skin despite genetics! I love my handknit washcloths too! Love the idea of doing an update video yearly. Love you my friend. ♥ Elle
Elle Is For Living On the contrary. She is proof genetics DO matter.
How is she proof that genetics don’t matter? Have you tested her genes have you 😂
@@handotkay She said her mother had horrible skin and has shown pictures of her mother who, as Melissa said, didn't have nice skin. Melissa has gorgeous skin so I was joking in saying that genetics don't matter as she didn't get her skin from her mother!
lolol, gosh I hope genetics don't matter. If they do, I'm doomed!!! My poor mother and her sisters. Love you and thank you so much! Melissa
@@handotkay She was teasing me because I've shown her pictures of my mother. If I have her genetics, I'm doomed!! lol My mother had horrible skin. and the thing that was interesting is that she had men just crazy about her. It's when I realized a lot of so called sex appeal wasn't about wrinkles or things like that but attitude. She would walk into a room and own it. It was amazing to see. Anyway, thanks so much! Melissa
You have just gained a new subscriber! Just wow, your hair, teeth, skin and even no sign of aging on neck.. A true preserved beauty. I'm 21 but I hope I can age gracefully too
Better not to age at all. It is cumulative damages from toxicity and nutritional deficiency. Everyone should reject every pharma drug (they're toxic aberrations) - including needless vaccines - and heal with herbs, Homeopathy, and the plethora of other pure products - e.g., Calcium Bentonite Clay, pure water, and Miracle II soap.
@@StarCoded Load of crap.
I'm a mature woman and don't do any of this and my skin is perfect.
Simply Amazing . I follow several mature youtubers like Angie from Hot n Flashy and they all use so many products on their skin. Makes me wonder if we really need all that stuff after watching you!
Jennifer Smith - Angie has had botox and fillers. She gets $ for promoting all the gunk she puts on her face.
Jennifer Smith - I agree. Less is more. I love Angie but she uses too much crap on her skin. And she didn't start serious skincare until she was 50. You need to start early to have results like this.
@@marlynnek6449 - Yes, if I used as much goop as Angie says she does, my face would be disgustingly oily. All those layers, then moisturiser, sun screen and foundation makeup. My skin wouldn't tolerate it.
Melissa you are absolutely gorgeous, I love your energy and your honesty. 🙏
This woman makes me not be scared of getting to 60, Tretinoin a good lifestyle and spf is all it takes it seems . Gorgeous
She’s pushing 70…and still gorgeous. I can’t believe how stunning Melissa is.
@@Blondie727 right!!! Its a very timeless beauty what she has
And god tier genetics, this woman doesn’t even use moisturizers
I am behind the times with technology but I so wish I had found your videos years ago!
I have Crohns and the disease and biologics have caused some problems with my skin.
I am anxious to see your videos.
Thank you for your time to help those of us that are older feel better about ourselves.
Love your attitude and help.
God bless you and your health, I know what you go through🙏🕊
You are gorgeous and so inspiring to women in their 40’s! Thank you so much for your down to earth and simple routine!
Courtney - thank you so much That really means a lot to me. Have a blessed New Year! Love, Melissa
I’m 20 years old, and you inspire me so much to take care of my skin. My mother and father have aged really gracefully without having much of a skincare routine, and I wonder how long I can look youthful if I really take my skincare and anti aging seriously!
Aside for your glorious glowy skin, you have the most beautiful blue eyes! Loved this video, it was so clear and simple to follow along and understand. Loved the demonstration at the end. I am getting ready to film a skincare routine in my bathroom as well. I am dreading it cause I have still trying to figure out how I am going to manage to get my camera or iPhone set up in that tiny bathroom of mine. Sigh! But you did a great job! So sorry that your videos are being stolen by unscrupulous companies trying to push their skin products. I sure hope all of us here on TH-cam boycott anything they have to sell it is the only way they will be going out of business. Happy New Year! xoxo Maria
Maria Schlossberg I agree, such striking blue eyes!
That is so very kind of you, Maria. Oh you are so pretty! I do have my tripod over the toilet as my bathroom is very small. So you can do this, girl! I sure appreciate it so much. Love, Melissa
@@MK-ok6xr That is so sweet. Thank you!
@@Melissa55 I didn't think to put it on the toilet! LOL Duh!!!! Okay I will see how that angle works. Normally I have a suction cup like holder (the kind you use in the car for the phones) that I try to attach to the bathroom mirror right in front of me but it tends to wobble downward due to the weight of the phone. Not a good system. Hugs and keep warm, you might get some snow in a day or so! Maria
You're Beautiful and such glowing skin! Thank you for helping us. 66 over here.
I’m so glad you highlighted sunscreen, I’ve worked in theatre with plastic surgeons and ALL have said , IF you want to slow down ageing dramatically USE SUNSCREEN, every day! The drs and nurses I’ve worked with over the years that have slapped sunscreen on everyday absolutely show slower ageing signs, and significantly better skin. I can tell now just from looking signs of sun damage, you know even if you use generic no name sunscreen and start early you will save so much sun damage. Also don’t be put off by the feel of a sunscreen, different brands use different formulas keep trying to find a formula that fits for you. Thanks for the upload
@TH-cam Watch well the point is sunscreen actually can save a life, and absolutely can stop damaged skin that leads to cancer, after seeing the damage sun can and does ravish your body once melanoma takes hold first hand and how quickly skin cancer can take off due to over exposure that could other wise be negotiated by the wearing of sunscreen, I’ll use sunscreen. It’s not a slave to sunscreen it’s a slave to protection. I can’t underestimate the tragedy the damage ravished on a persons body, and all too often that particular cancer could’ve been stopped by sunscreen.ive seen this first hand working with surgeons and knowing the pathology of these skin cancers it’s awful, staying inside for the whole of your life is neither healthy or practical
OMG, your skin is glowing beautifully.
Marianna oh thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️
My gawd the lord blessed you with the DNA of youth
thankyou
You look lovely Melissa. You got me started on Obaji about 4 yrs. I use it every day and it is the best..I have seen great results. Your hair is looking great, maybe consider a video on what you are currently using and how you style it. Thanks sweetie, Love Liz💕💕
Thank you so much, Liz!!! Several people in my family use Obagi and have for years and they have the best skin! I truly believe in the line. Many thanks, Melissa
Also, when I was in the hospital 2 months ago, my hair and skin suffered..when I got home my skin recovered quickly when I resumed my usual Obaji skin care regime, however, my hair is now shedding a lot, which I know is normal because of the trauma. Has your hair gotten back to normal? It sure looks great. I know you used Nioxin, which products did you use and what are you using now? I appreciate your input. It is unsettling to see so much hair coming out😔 Thanks Melissa❤️
What obaji products do you use?
What brand of Obaji, do you use? Can you put the link?
Woah, such a beautiful lady! Definitely encourages me to continue with my skincare routine- hopefully I’ll look at youthful as you when I reach the same age !x
Thank you so much ! This video has inspired me greatly - I want to better my skin care and exercise consistency towards it. You are so beautiful, inside and out :)
You have the most incredible bone structure - those cheekbones are to die for! Thank you for sharing your routine. Beautiful skin. Do you take any supplements? Would love to know what you eat in a day, too :)
Hi there
You are blessed with beautiful skin, but most importantly--your inner beauty is inspiring and makes you more beautiful! Hugs to you!
Debbie, that is just the most wonderful comment. I can't tell you what it means to me. Thank you so much. Love, Melissa
No idea who are but I’m going to just go head and say...
Go get it girl!
You are stunning, Melissa. I fell off the couch when you mentioned your age because you look at least twenty five years younger. Btw, I am a new subscriber and look forward to watching your videos. Stay blessed!
I have Crohn's as well! I have had 2 surgeries and humira injections weekly. I understand you fears and concerns. Its really is interestingly comforting that another TH-camr shares my disease. I dont feel as alone. Hugs, your a doll!!
64? I'm sorry, Missy, before we proceed, I'd like to see your ID. 😁
Zari Ballard she is gorgeous right ❤️
aw, I appreciate it!
64? I REALLY thought you are around 46 / 47 ❤
Melissa55 Jim
@@stefanienoa4674 I know people in their 30's that don't look as good
How can I be you ? You make aging less scary !!!! Thank you !❤️❤️❤️
The actual skincare routine starts at 17:00
OMGosh, I love you!!
Hahaha thanks a lot!
Thank goodness
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍
nmoss thank you!!
You look and sound fabulous! You're vibrant, upbeat, and engaging to watch. I'm new to TH-cam and I'm watching you for tips on how to make my videos better. Thank you! I'm 61 years old.❤
First, you look amazing!! No botox, fillers, or plastic surgery? You certainly don't need it. None of us do! Why do we feel we have to look 35 when we are 65? I'm happy to age. It's how it is meant to be. I take very good care of myself and am not worried. I had my time to be young, now I pass the torch and enjoy middle age. I'm cool with that, I will tell you, that what you put on the inside is much more important to your skin then what you apply to the outside. Also, you don't have to justify why you purchase expensive skin care product to anyone. That is your business! I buy expensive everything because I can, and that is my business:) I don't feel bad about it. Be well
Out of curiosity do you use retin a as well? I’m older than I look and I’m starting think maybe I should start, especially after seeing this video!❤
I appreciate you showing us your routine. If I'm correct, I think you did a breakdown how much your skincare cost you monthly last year and it was very affordable. It's definitely working for you. You are just so beautiful through and through Melissa. Truly! I hope you guys and Little Oliver have the Best New Year! Love you to the moon and back! xoxo Mary
You are so refreshing!! Just like the morning sun! Thank you for making me want to work harder on a constant skincare routine. BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! 😘😘😘
Your ageless! Stunning!!! I’m such a big believer in retin a too! I don’t buy any expensive skincare retin a is the best! Thank you for this video!! 🤗❤️
You are just so sweet, mel. I really have had good luck with Retin A. It just seems to consistently keep me exfoliated. Thank you and love to you, Melissa
Hi just want to say thank you , you inspire me I am 61 my name is Julia and my mom to had lots of dark spots on her arms and chest ,...I have them mostly on my arms, I have had alot of stress in my life ,I am a cancer survivor , and in the past I've been threw the lost of both my parents a nice and both my children, my daughter in 1981 , and my son in February 2017 , I have aged in the past 4 years than I have my whole life I am single and alone I do my best lately to take care of my skin and eat well with my income I can't afford expensive products, but make sure I wash my face day and night and use sunscreen , ...I absolutely believe what you said in one of your videos that finding joy in things is a must in staying well and looking and feeling better, love your honesty and seems to me you have a beautiful heart, with what you have been through with Chron's disease and I too am a worrier , you are beautiful on the inside as much as the outside , I look forward to seeing you here again , God Bless you have a wonderful day.
I just found your channel. I am 60 and God Bless you
You are so real and Southern like me !
Simply stunning and real.
You are so sweet and genuine. Your positivity radiates through the screen.
I’m an esthetician so I’m not surprised that you mentioned the GOATs I’ve always wanted to try obagi! Your so beautiful inside and out thank you for this video 🙏🙏🙏
Happy New Year Melissa!
PLEASE DO NOT DELETE YOUR OLD VIDEOS!
I had someone steal some of them, so I just want to get them off of here. But thank you.
Melissa55 why would they steal them?
I came across your videos whilst looking for information about how i can use the Retin A i have just bought and i am blown away ! you look INCREDIBLE!! you are an inspiration to all of us that are trying to stay younger looking and fresh whilst staying away from botox and fillers! MIND BLOWING! .. i a guy and i hope that my journey which i am starting at 49 gives me anything close to what you have achieved , Stunning!
So glad you did a new video. I have seen where they have used you and your routine in another product. I don't think you ever age. I've been watching you for a long time and you look the same. Just amazing!!!🥰
Your skin looks so amazing!! I am almost 35 and also have never had/do not ever plan to have botox or fillers so this was very inspiring! Thank you so much xo
Thank you so much Melissa....I always appreciate you taking the time and effort to film your routines. You look beautiful, and I SWEAR u r aging backwards!!! xoxo Gabrielle
awww, Gabrielle, thank you for that. And gosh, it's good to see you. I hope this year is just so full of blessings. Love to you, Melissa
All of the thumbs down were from jealous people! You are absolutely beautiful!
Amy Turner Agree!
I couldn't even believe there were any thumbs down! There are some hateful people out there wow!
Melissa, you are such a sweet lady. Thanks for sharing your "beauty secrets" with all of us. Praying for your healing.
I LITERALLY thought you were in your late 40's. I think I'm gonna have to follow you. I just started Retin A .025 a week ago every other night.
I'm 48 and just want to stay youthful looking. You are beautiful!
Fell in love the first time I listened to you Melissa! You are so real and beautiful! I admire your routines for your age! I am a year older than you! So glad I found you in skin care over sixty!! Thank you!
apinkroseforyou, she is stunning! I am over 60, and I got carded the other day for cigarettes I was NOT buying!
*Skinceuticals: Sponsor this woman!!!*
She has better skin than me and I’m only 27 😂
Start using Retina A like I did back in the late 80's I promise you, you will look like this at her age.
Maybe it's because she has nice thoughts and you don't.
Oh girl, you're too kind. You have GORGEOUS skin. You are so pretty. Happy New Year to you and yours. xox
@Irina Popa aw, thanks.
She uses botox. Not once did her forehead move between her eyebrows. And the area around her eye where most people's cheeks would move up creating the eyes crow's feet and eyes squint. That is not normal.
you're one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen, a true inspiration. I feel like your beauty shines from within :)
I turned 58 this year. Yep you are correct that skin care is important. Although i use mine naturally, meaning that everything that I use are from my kitchen. You are beautiful.💕
Omg, not even in my dream I can say u are 60+. Not at all... 🤗🤗❤️
Amazed n floored 😍
God bless you , Melissa 🤗🤗
Life goals. I need to get my diet together.
Melissa I've decided that when I run through all these serums, lotions and potions around here, I'm adopting your streamlined routine. Thank you for the video. You look great as always.
I really appreciate it so much. I really like it, but it's kind of a harsh system, so go slowly! lol (I get so bossy) lol Love and thanks, Melissa
Melissa55 You are the cutest bossy I know. I’m in my 50’s and I think you are simply fabulous!! 💖🦋💕
You are probably one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my entire life. I mean, you look 25, but not just 25, a STUNNING 25. So you're drop dead gorgeous and utterly ageless which is an overused term, but you are the poster child for the term, ageless.
Classy Southern & Beautiful but your personality make you even more Beautiful. I am new to your channel & i love it. You are so sweet & kind. I just told my Mom (shes my bestfriend) i just told her abouth your Chanel because i think yall are about the same age. You have taught me so many things & i thank you so very much. Stay Classy, Sweet & Awesome.
I'm stunned at how gorgeous you (and your skin) are! And I'm in disbelief that you're over 50.
You ARE an entire goal!
I’ve been on Tretinoin for 3 months now and love it. Starting with Differin for about a year really helped the transition. A little dryness and a small breakout at first, but no other adverse side effects, applying it daily. I think that’s pretty fantastic! Prescribed for acne but god knows that’s not the main reason I wanted it 😂. I wanted to start early! 28 years old.
You'll be so glad you did!! Sunscreen every single day!!! Face chest hands!!
Ladies, hair is important in making us all look younger. Take care of your hair as well.
Teeth is also important
farhat qamar point 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, teeth.
Kathy she bleaches her hair which always leaves a dry, dull, and sometimes frizzy looking hair; I know this from years of experience, myself. My heart goes out to her at having Crohn’s disease.
@@wendyshell8679 - Hi Wendy! Thanks! My sister has Crohn's disease. Not easy, but manageable.
Melissa, thank you for sharing. Haven’t been on you tube much but it’s always a pleasure watching you. You are always kind, gracious and a delight to watch.
that was great Melissa! thank you for sharing. I feel inspired to continue on my tretinoin journey.
I wonder how dearie people put dislike on gorgeous women like you
You always beautiful inside and outside love you 😘 happy new year 🥳
Oh thank you. I don't mind the dislikes. I'm not everyone's cup of tea! lol Many thanks and Happy New Year! xox
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think the dislikes are maybe the content or products used because she's lovely ,a few could be because some people feel jealous but we feel inspired !
No, she is naturally gorgeous and doesn't act conceited. You are probably comparing her with trimps wife who is conceited and selfish. We dont hate her for her beauty it's only because of her superior attitude. This woman is simply beautiful. Always was always will be.
@@chrisdevene9158 aw, thanks. And really not everyone can like everyone else. It may just boil down to that, and that's ok. I appreciate it!
I watched you for the first time today. As you know, your skin looks absolutely INCREDIBLE. Unbelievable!
I'm 66, dealing with challenging situations in every area of my life, of which I have no control.
Have realized the one thing I can take charge of is my skin. Specially my face.
You are an incredible inspiration. I'm wondering if you have good skin 'genes.' Al
Regardless, I am going to move towards following your routine.
2 Main reasons is that it is SIMPLE! Your skin.
It's never too late to start...and I can take my focus off the things I can't change.
Thank you.
You have the most beautiful skin, love the glow!!
Your skin is just gorgeous! I swear you look like you had at least one face lift. I am definitely going to start on Retin A now!!! You neck area is awesome; I also love your eye makeup. What kind of eye shadow do you wear?
You look great! I saw your video on Obagi nu derm review 3 years back and I’m amazed you look the same as I saw you 3 years back If not prettier! No signs of ageing! I’m very impressed! Thanks for your great videos
A simple skincare routine and a nice diet, that’s the spirit ❤️
You're accent is everything and you look amazing!
I wonder where she is from? Should it be Tennessee?
Probably Louisiana🤷🏻♀️
She is too gorgeous. Always was always will be.
Westside Granny yes and more importantly, her personality is beautiful! it really just radiates.
I really can hardly believe how naturally beautiful you are-what you are doing for your skin is certainly working! You could be a spokesperson for this brand of skin care!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your routine. I learned a lot. Please do not erased it when you upload a new one. It helps to see how gradualy incorporate other things. You look amazing outside and reflects your inside.
TFS Melissa. Gosh that orange/red top & lipstick sure is gorgeous on you. Knockout fox you are!!
Oh thank you, Irma!!! It's that Poison Nectar mixed with the Laura Mercier coral VFW. I like that combination. Love ya! Melissa
Her glow! ☀️ I’ve just started using retin a, can’t wait to see how it works 🙂 also just stared a channel, have a vid on my current skin care too !
It is very hard to believe there has been no plastic surgery. She’s gorgeous.
JJ HAWK very hard to believe no shade but VERY
No surgeries but I DO think she uses Botox bc her eyebrows barely move and she is shiny in the forehead and between her brows. Not buying that she had no Botox procedure.
I wonder about PDO threads. Not technically considered plastic surgery. She looks amazing regardless.
i do not believe it either
@@Pinkrosesandagraveyard yes thats what im thinking. Ppl dont consider pdo thread lift a surgery.
You can actually take estrogen indefinitely if you start within 5 to 10 year of menopause. I watch Menopause Taylor and learned that from her channel. .05 is the lowest you should go for skin patches (each method has its own lowest requirement) to have benefits of protecting you from osteoporosis, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
You are GORGEOUS!!!!!! I came across your video in my search for reviews on Obagi products and quickly became a subscriber! Thank you for all the information!! 💗
