Hi sister i used mild peeling solution 3 to 4 times a week it's been about 3 weeks now i have little bumps on the fore head why?? Already i have small bumps now it's slightly increased in number
Hello, Melissa!💗 I hope you have been doing good! I have a question totally unrelated to the video. Hopefully, you don’t mind answering it 🥺. I wanted to ask you what is your opinion on “Diadermine Mattifying Cream”? I used it once today since my usual hydrating cream (The Body Shop Seaweed Oil Control Gel Cream) is finished. I like the former better, but I really do not know if this one good for me (I have an acne-prone skin, especially during winter since it gets so cold. In summer though, my skin looks so nice and even. I barely get pimples). Which one would you recommend? If you come to a conclusion, would you recommend using a hyaluronic acid along with a hydrating cream during the winters as I need an extra moisture or just use the “ The Body Shop Intense Moisture Cream”, which is the one they recommended me to use during winters. I am so sorry for the lengthy comment, but really could not make it shorter as I would have left some important details. Thank you for taking the time to read this, Melissa! 🫶🏾
Hey! :) I haven't tried any of them, so I'm unsure how they feel on the skin. Overall, I recommend choosing the one that feels the best on your skin, as only you can judge it😊 Yes, you can (but don't have to) use Hyaluronic Acid before applying your moisturizer during Winter. This depends on how your skin feels with and without Hyaluronic Acid. Or, you can exchange it for a hydrating toner or essence instead. It does not necessarily have to be a Hyaluronic Acid serum.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks a lot, Melissa! 💗 I actually went to a drugstore and explained to one (if not the only) of the licensed employees my concerns and she suggested two skincare products: “Effaclar Mat Mattifying Moisturizer for Oily Skin” as well as “Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum”. So far, I am using the former as it still is really hot. I will use the later when it gets colder.
@@issafula So, yes, you would use the Mineral 89 HA serum before applying the Effaclar Mat Moisturizer. Still, I recommend choosing what works the best for you.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Perfect! I’ll do that! Thanks! 💓 In winter though because of the factors I mentioned above! Last question 🥺, I could use the Mineral one along with the Effaclar Serum Ultra Concentré, right? (In winter I mean)
hii Melissa! not related to this video but have you ever teste KAHI anti wrinkle multi balm? i want to buy it but i dont know if it’s good so I wanted to know your opinion since I trust and like your content! 🙌🏼
Hello Ariel, No, and I am becoming increasingly sceptical about these Korean "trend" products; I have bought a few and demonstrated them on my channel. But I will not continue as most do not do anything for the skin as the % of ingredients needed to see changes in the skin are often not given, or these brands are not transparent enough, so we do not know.
Hmm, none of it made a significant difference to my skin; I still have pimples and cannot figure out what is causing them; I have done several tests but still cannot get them fully under control. But if I had to choose one, it would be a Benzoyl Peroxide and Retinol/Retinoid for my acne.
Hello Melissa What do you think about buying hyaluronic acid serum from Minimalist? I'm thinking of using it as a moisturizer without adding another moisturizer for my forehead and nose only. My skin is combination, oily, and sensitive, and it becomes strangely oily and shiny a few days before. I went to the pharmacy and told the pharmacist that I used CeraVe PM lotion, but it didn't work for me and made my skin oily. He recommended Vichy Mineral 89, but it was too expensive. I discovered that it's a hyaluronic acid serum, so I decided to look for alternatives and found hyaluronic acid serum from Minimalist. What do you think? I also asked the pharmacist if I can use it as a moisturizer without adding anything else, and he said it's possible, but I'm not sure. Also, about using tretinoin with it as a moisturizer. I will later purchase a moisturizer from Cetaphil for the rest of my face (cheeks and neck)
Hey again! Yes, that's completely fine! Personally, I prefer to use Hyaluronic Acid serums all over my face without following with a moisturizer afterwards, and it works just as great. Plus, it's very lightweight! If you start using Tretinoin, do not use it together with Salicylic Acid. Use them on alternate days and start slowly with Tretinoin. In the beginning, I would use Tretinoin on its own (since you do not use a moisturizer) and use HA and any other serum that you may be using in the AM. If you want to choose a moisturizer, look for a gel or gel-cream that's oil-free. However, I'm curious to hear what skin concerns you want to start using Tretinoin for?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet acne marks sebaceous filaments I also want to get better skin texture Do you think that tretinoin will transform my combination skin into normal? I struggle with the T-zone area particularly my nose becoming excessively shiny and oily
@@blackduck2323 Do you still get new acne? How old are these acne marks, and do you experience physical acne scars or just marks? I think it's best to get your sebaceous filaments extracted from time to time. Have you ever tried not using any skincare products? Not even a cleanser-just washing your face with water and leaving your skin alone? Do you experience a lot of stress, lack of sleep, environmental factors, or dietary issues such as consuming too much sugar, processed food, fast food, or any food intolerances?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDietYes I got my latest acne pimple on my nose right after using CeraVe PM lotion for about two weeks. Yes, it's just a marks. How can I extract sebaceous filaments? I've been thinking about stopping using any products on my face to see if it helps, but I don't think it's the right time now. Yes, I suffer from anxiety and my sleep is not good. I also eat sugar and unhealthy food from time to time.
@@blackduck2323 Okay. I think it would be a good idea to stop using all your skincare products-even your cleanser. Just use water to wash your face and let your skin heal. You can have your SF extracted by a beautician or dermatologist. I highly recommend addressing your stress, lack of sleep, and your diet-especially reducing sugar and processed foods. I've noticed a significant mental shift since changing my diet because I used to experience a lot of stress and suffer from anxiety/panic attacks myself.

Hi Melissa My mom has NEVER had a skincare routine. She doesn’t use ANY products on her face. She’s in her 50’s, and her birthday is coming and I wondered if maybe I should get her some skincare? She is open to it, BUT! Is there even a point at her age with all the damage done??
Hey! :) So, what's her skin type and what are her skin concerns? Overall, you could look into La Roche Posay Hyaluronic Acid and/or Vitamin C for AM and Retinol Serum or Cream (I prefer the cream) in the PM. This would be a great basic Anti-Ageing routine! :)

Hey 🖤 can i use aha after face stream or not , does face streaming is a type of exfoliation or what is the benefits
Hey Foxy, I am really starting to question the "things" you watch. Where do you get all that information, without explanation 🫣
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet no ista simple that face streaming opens the pore and clean then so can I use aha after that or its not safe ??
don't know sorry ;)
Hi Melissa! Just curious.. Aside from sunscreen, what are the products/or product that completely made a huge difference to your skin? 💞
Hmm, none of it made a significant difference to my skin; I still have pimples and cannot figure out what is causing them; I have done several tests but still cannot get them fully under control. But if I had to choose one, it would be a Benzoyl Peroxide and Retinol/Retinoid for my acne.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you! Hope you find that product for your skin. And yes, testing multiple products makes it a bit difficult too.. 💞
