I love these suggestions and that you are being REAL about menopause! Any woman who says she’s not sweating more is in denial. All your body odor changes 🥴I had a long talk with my dr about this
Loved this!!! Never heard of monkey butt powder, but I think you just saved my summer! Also, I have a neck fan, but I love the versatility of your cute personal fan. Can never have too many-kinda like readers. Lots of good ideas here, Melissa. TYSM🥰
Melissa, you are the sweetest! I love how natural you are. Thank you for all the varied recommendations. There are a few I’m curious to try. Keep-up your lovely energy 🙏🏻💖
Eating Italian ice for hot flashes..you literally freeze them out. So tasty too. Those fans work so great. Powder does help with sweat. I hate being sweaty but it happens!
Hi Melissa, I like that Gold Bond too. I hope you are feeling as great as you look and having a good day. Thank you for a wonderful video with good products. I like the aloe, glasses, hat and the fan. Take care and be well Melissa and we love you too.🥰❤💗💜💜💜🙏🌹🌺🌸💐
Thanks for the awesome summer suggestions Mrs. Melissa I have one I have been doing for many years you may want to try . I mix my body lotions with organic Castro oil , It hydrates and plumbs up the skin . Menopause sucks.lol
Hi my Summer staples are: Ultrasun spf50+ (I move up from 30 to 50+ in the Summer). I also use their spray face 50+ to top up and in my hair parting. Sunglasses with UV tested protection and a darker tint. Spf lip balm or gloss A tinted moisturiser for my “foundation” as light coverage looks better in strong sunlight Cream or liquid eyeshadow and Liquid blush An exfoliating foot cream at night so my feet look decent in sandals 😂 A UPF shirt for a cover up and a folding hat for the same reason Best wishes x
I use bio-identical pellets for hot flashes etc... they were gone 1 hour after my 1st pellet!! Bio-Te is the brand but talk to your doc about them, they help my Winter pain & I don't get as cold as before them too! I have that fan in purple. When doing a Bible study on our porch it's great! 🤠
Great video Melissa ❤ I’ve just added the St Tropez tanning mist and brush to my Amazon cart. Do you need to allow the first layer of tan to dry before doing the second layer? Thanks so much. Always adore your videos - you get me excited about beauty products and makeup every time I watch you. Love ya Melissa ❤
Great video! I've been using the AMB powder for several years. It's really helpful when on vacation when you want to keep your bra fresh. I'm a DD so this powder has been a godsend for me, and I'm post menopausal.
Hi Melissa, l use only 1 lotion, which is Aveeno, l have been using it for years, it works for me, but l also use the bath n body lotions and their body Mist fragrance scents too, l use their body products too, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Hi Melissa, firstly, Thank you for the lovely compliment on my last comment to your previous video, that was so kind of you, love ❤️ all your summer picks, especially when I’m sitting here wrapped up in a blanket Freezing Cold 🥶 Lol 😂, I don’t usually self tan but I love the idea of using a kabuki brush instead of your hands, you can always tell when someone self tans by the colour of their hands and it does look messy to the rest of their body, Funny how you put up on the screen about your drawer being open, if you hadn’t done that, I didn’t even notice it Lol 😂. Thank you for always being consistent with sharing great products and information and inspiration for showing up Sweet Lady. I Hope You’re Doing Ok. Cheers from Nellie xoxo (Get Me Out Of This COLD 🥶 LOL 😂) 🩷🩷🩷
Did you say there's "No cornstarch" in that MonkeyButt powder? It's so hard to find powders that don't contain it these days - everyone's freaking out and overreacting to talc, but cornstarch actually fosters the growth of yeast. I still buy talc-based powders in the "ethnic" section at the drugstore; other countries still produce formulas that work but are sometimes heavily scented. I'd rather smell and feel good than have more problems with yeast on various areas of my body. Thanks so much for this video - you look great!
Melissa, have you tried the viral foundation TIRTIR that’s going around, as a fellow mature dry skin beauty I was just wondering if you had and what was your thoughts. I went back through your videos and couldn’t find a review of it, so wondering if you would take one for the team Lol 😂, so many mixed reviews out there..❤️❤️
im so bad at sun protection. i love the feeling of the sun on my slin. i got it from my mom. shebis 84 and has so many deep wrinkles and crepey skin. but she still walks the beach and says she wouldn't give up a day in the sun for less wrinkles
So informative thank u beautiful Melissa What do u think of the L'oreal 50 SPF day moisturizer I use it religiously easy to apply and hope it does what is says!
Hi Melissa. Questions..1. If you're using Gold Bond daily, do you apply sunscreen over it? I've avoided using body lotion when I sunscreen the body. Thought it would interfere. 2. I have spider veins and brown spots on my body. Self tanner made spots darker, thus prominent. Any suggestions? Last, but most important, the Monkey item may be the item I've been looking for. Not interested in the Lume brand - I don't have odor or chafing issues, 😊 i want something to control the perspiration this time of year. My back,neck. Will this work? Thanks
Hi Tina. I use the Gold Bond at night. So spf isn't usually a problem. And yes I think it would help. It has some absorbing ingredients too. I hope I'm not leading you in the wrong direction, but it works for me.
Hi Melissa! I use the St.Tropez Mousse. I am willing to try your suggestion for the water-like spray bottle; maybe it will penetrate my dry skin better (?). My question is concerning age spots. I have many. How'd you 'tan' without bringing them out? Like you, I am the true SNOW WHITE. I spent a lot of time and money to get rid of age spots on my face. They return a wee bit darker even using SPF. I want to look healthy, but, I hate those spots! I only sweat from my head! It is horrible, you can't mask it or control it. Any help for this? Worse still, I wear wigs due to hairloss, have to wear hats when the temperatures go above 80⁰. Great video
I'm not able to hide them either. And yes they do pop out more when I use tanners. I guess it's the trade off. My son sweats on his head too. Drives him crazy. Not sure what to do about that. Boy, I'm just all kinds of help huh?
Maybe you just didn't recognize it as a "big change"? This sometimes happens with PCOS during your "fertile" years - hormones fluctuate so crazy, then the testosterone takes over entirely and you have a beard but not any estrogen to balance things out. No estrogen left = no strong menopausal symptoms as you age on. Make sure you get a Gyn exam and a Pap test.
@@GordonLouis-w9fI didn’t know when I went through menopause. I saw it on my chart at the Drs. office and asked him about it. I never had to have HRT of any kind. I feel so fortunate. My sister had a horrible time for almost three years.
Help! Melissa. I have tried to find the Sukoyaka Suhada urea toning lotion on Amazon and it is now not there to be found. I bought two bottles at your recommendation sometime ago and love it. Do you know where I can find it or does it come and go on Amazon. Thank you sweetheart, I love your skincare recommendations
Greetings Melissa! Love your work and love you💜💜 Your link to the Gold Bond links to a hair clip. Please relink so I can order it and YOU get the benefit, xoxo💜💜
With regards to perspiring/ sweating lol Even in my 20's young goodlooking and thin sweated a lot Was at a restaurant with about 6 couples It was stinking hot and blurted out that I perspire a lot Turned red and a very handsome guy said to me " that's so sexy"! 50 yrs later have neva felt embarrassed about it lol!
I love the new St. Tropez Supreme Violet. The color is gorgeous and it lasts 10 days for me, it’s not patchy and it does NOT have the typical self tanner smell. This is the first one I’ve found that didn’t smell on me.
and i have to say.. i appreciate that u read our comments ❤️
Loved all the tips, I'm going to get the hat, your video's are always full of great information. Take care Melissa
Awesome! Thank you!
I love these suggestions and that you are being REAL about menopause! Any woman who says she’s not sweating more is in denial. All your body odor changes 🥴I had a long talk with my dr about this
I never got hot flashes. I had other stuff, but I run cold and that never changed.
I actually got to stop using deodorant because I don't perspire anymore. I get night sweats but that's it.
I got that shirt you're wearing in peach! I love it! Thank you for the recommendation! Love ya 😘
It's definitely a journey. And we all have such different issues. Thank goodness we have each other though.
So happy you like it Lori.
Loved this!!! Never heard of monkey butt powder, but I think you just saved my summer! Also, I have a neck fan, but I love the versatility of your cute personal fan. Can never have too many-kinda like readers. Lots of good ideas here, Melissa. TYSM🥰
Hi Gretchen. I keep a fan in my purse, car & nightstand. Never have too many fans! Yes.
Melissa, you are the sweetest! I love how natural you are.
Thank you for all the varied recommendations. There are a few I’m curious to try.

I have put the AMB powder in my cart! I am so tired of being wet. And now that it is in the 80's in Minnesota I am doomed! Thank you!
Lol...hopefully it helps the doom! 🥴
It’s 110 here in Az. Yuk.
@@louisesharpy Noo!!!! That stinks! Today it is nearly 90 and dew points in the 70s. Just swampy. Stay cool my friend!
Great video!! Enjoyed!! I’m a fan of a personal fan, too.

I didn't know that about cornstarch. Yes, it does have it in there, along with calamine & tricalcium phosphate.

Not yet Nellie. But I was thinking about it. So I'll see what I can come up with.
Urban Decay all nighter setting spray. I live in the south so summer heat is brutal. It makes my makeup last.
Thanks for sharing Deann 😁
im so bad at sun protection. i love the feeling of the sun on my slin. i got it from my mom. shebis 84 and has so many deep wrinkles and crepey skin. but she still walks the beach and says she wouldn't give up a day in the sun for less wrinkles

So informative thank u beautiful Melissa
What do u think of the L'oreal 50 SPF day moisturizer
I use it religiously easy to apply and hope it does what is says!
I've not tried it. But I'm sure it's good. Consistency is key.
Most of the time if you can’t grow aloe it’s because you’re over loving it. They thrive on neglect.
Thanks for the tip Nikki.
Hi Melissa. Questions..1. If you're using Gold Bond daily, do you apply sunscreen over it? I've avoided using body lotion when I sunscreen the body. Thought it would interfere. 2.

Hi. Do you know if the nyx eyeshadow palette is a limited edition or permanent? Thanks 💜💗
It's their 25th birthday palette. So it's limited edition
The audio here on my phone is great but if I listen on my tv on the normal settings, it’s a lot lower than usual
I need the powder... Menopause is knocking at my door. My kids always mess with me. "Mom, where's you meno fan!" Instead of mini...
Lol...too funny! I'm paying now for making fun of my mom during her menopause! Uhg!
do you like the gold bond crepe erase too?
I do. But not as much as this one.
