Can I use it after cleansing when my face it still wet? I don't usually use a towel to pat my face dry but I let it air dry instead, can I apply right after cleanser or only after it has fully air dried?
No, I recommend removing the water droplets from the skin surface before applying the toner (or any other skincare products) so that it doesn't get diluted and stays on the skin surface, as this hinders it from properly absorbing into the skin. Why don't you use a towel or tissue?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i was worried about the bacteria on the face towel, how often should i wash it? i cleanse twice a day morning and night, is it okay to wash my face towel every 2 uses?
@@0llie_ Well, I have a bunch of them and I essentially wash them after each use. I mean, not individually, but with my other clothing, of course. So, if you do that, there is really no concern about spreading bacteria.
Hi Melissa I need your suggestions please. I have every type of acne possible on my face. Cystic ones are the real nightmares. I have used sebamed, cetaphil, la roche posay, cerave. They work for some months and then just stop working. Like zero effect. And I end up where I started. Please suggest a routine.
Well, in that case, it may be best to visit a doctor so that they can analyze your skin, and perhaps even your habits, to determine the issue. Personally, I've found that foods with preservatives and additives contribute the most to my skin problems. To target active pimples, I use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser, and sometimes retinol. A routine similar to this has shown great results for me: [th-cam.com/video/zq9w8rd8rd8/w-d-xo.html]. However, you need to adjust other aspects as well for improvement. So overall my advice would be to visit a doctor.
Hello Melissa again I introduced glycolic acid serum with salicylic acid on alternate days is it ok I use green tea toner but my toner sucks in every way
You need to test and see how your skin tolerates using these exfoliating acids on different days, as this depends on your individual skin tolerance. Also, what you mean by 'I use green tea toner but my toner sucks in every way'? 🧐
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet it's been 3 months it has not shown any of visible benifits on my skin so may be it's not suitable for my skin type ; I have combination with T section oily
Melissa I have a question from your Salicylic Acid application PDF. I understood everything but why didn't you include using regular Hydrating Toner such as this Isntree green tea one during exfoliating? Like for example Can I use, Gentle cleanser, Hydrating toner, Salicylic Acid 2% Serum, and then moisturizer (spf50 in morning)? In the power point I didn't see normal Toner usage when using Salicylic Acid in Serum form or Exfolating Toner
Well, it depends on the PowerPoint, and/or the brands I showcase. For example, with The Ordinary's products, the concept is different. Their water-based serums could act as hydrating toners. This means that if you use serums like Hyaluronic Acid, Amino Acids, or Marine Hyaluronics for hydration, then this step would be hydrating and similar to using a toner, as it serves the same/similar purpose. However, I also tailor my recommendations based on what people prefer, the questions I get asked most, and what has worked best for me. So, there are many different ideas to consider, and sometimes, it's just for simplicity. But of course, you could add it to your routine similar to how I showed with the exfoliants in this video.
It's not fragrance free. It has an earthy green tea smell. Some people might like it, some might not. I personally love it, so fresh perfect for summer.
Haha, so many people think I'm Russian, but my name should suggest otherwise 😅. My neighbor looks like Edward Snowden, but he simulates a regular daily life, although I doubt he has one. I'm investigating... 🫣
Wow, the download is great. It blows my mind on how detailed and helpful it is. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!🥰

Can. I use ordinary ha moisturizer for oily skin at night and this toner
Yes, this could work, or you could get The Ordinary NMF + Beta Glucan, which is a gel-type moisturizer, or just use the toner on its own.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet sorry for disturbing but again but should I only use toner and this suspension no need for moisturizer
@@Lazychia__ Correct.

Thanks for this video ❤, since the toner contains willow bark extract, is it possible to use daily?
Yes :)
Hi Melissa, I have an oily skin which type of cleanser is suitable for me
Look into a gel-to-foam cleanser. The two options I showed in the video could be great choices for you.
Hei can i use the toner daily?
Yes you can

Why mine smell like soy sauce
Mine also has a similar smell; perhaps it's due to the overall formulation.
