[@melanieadorno8813]

Mary, Mary Mary, girl you have my undivided attention on this one. I'm so taken by your ability to articulate pros & and cons, but mostly, I'm enchanted by the absolute glow that comes out in your apparent love for what you share....it matches the glow of ur gorgeous skin. Admittedly I watch thousands of videos monthly, we share the same passion so I'm being sincere when I say I'm not easily taken in or impressed by so much of what is being given put in often incorrect or really poor content disguised as a do all be all good for skin. So glad I stumbled onto ur channel, I love that I found someone who is actually helping individuals to pick and choose wisely. ❤ur content and I adore ur sweet self Much Aloha ❤elanie

Oh wow I don't know what to say....this is probably the most wonderful message I've received here on YouTue]be. Thank you so much for joining me and for the kind words of encouragement. You've totally made my day 🕺

[@melanieadorno8813]

@SkinObsessedMary Fantastic, I can't wait to see what you're keen mind shares next. Best of all that is a blessing in this life 🤎 I will be tuning in with excitement 😉

For durable nail enamel, try Orosa. Good applicator brush. Only 1 coat required. At 75, find JVN hair products with squalene So nourishing.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I've actually been using the JVN Complete Instant Recover Serum. Haven't decided if I like it or not. What are you using? Haven't heard of Orosa - thank you!

[@CrazyMaryJo]

@@SkinObsessedMary start with JVN. moisturizing shampoo and conditioner (alternate with Volumizing duo). My 75 year old dry hair is wavy so I go unfurled beach curls starting with the a bit of the product you use. Then I use the Complete Air Dry Cream, double what Jonathon recommends on my chin length thin fine hair. Since you wear your hair straight you may like Blowout Styling Milk. Or Complete Conditioning Mist.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

@@CrazyMaryJo thank you!!

[@CrazyMaryJo]

@@SkinObsessedMary My hair drinks up the squalene. Which prompted me to try Biossance Skin Care. My 75 year skin went from oily to very dry 2 years ago. Have tried 6 items. My skin hasn’t looked this good since I was 32!

Love your videos, Mary!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank you so much!

Oh my gosh I’m watching your video and realize you’re very first product. The self-esteem serum I’ve had that for a long time and never used it now I’m kicking myself. I’ve never opened it so hopefully it’s still good but now I have to try it.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

It's so good! Please come back and let me know your thoughts 🙏

[@melindagenitempo2359]

Mary. I was listening to Graceful Beauty she is a doll. Thru a few links she sent me I figured out the trick for Dermalect and other similar. Use glycolic beforehand. Either a toner or cleanser before. Then use your vit c or tret or dermalect. I am using Goals by Allies of Skin. So the glycolic does a quick desquamation before your active . I just used ordinary 7 percent which I buybto combine with a body serum. And it really does make your skin look amazing because the Vit C or other active had a swift path in asap . Try it. Happy holiday gorgeous 😍

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Aww same to you!! The Dermelect is glycolic (as well as salicylic) so it's doing all the good work 💃

[@jillwalshsf]

Great round up Mary! Amazing that you have done 100 videos this year 👏well done! I have watched and loved them all🥰 SO HAPPY you can now easily get your hands on Naturium in auld Dublin city now - yipeee! Would love a dedicated video on Naturium, I use several of their products and would love your take on this brand 😆 Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and a happy, healthy 2024🥂 Keep up the great work! Lots of love from San Francisco 😘💓

[@SkinObsessedMary]

You are so kind Jill 😊 Hopefully we can meet up this year! I don't know how the last visit went so fast 😖

[@lynnfarrell4160]

Hi Mary, I ordered the Naturium body wash straight away as its the kind of body wash I’ve been looking for, plus it’s affordable and available in Australia 🎉❤😍

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Great! Please come back and let me know what you think 🙏

[@nehadmahmoud1]

Hi Mary you r very helpful. How long the products will be used to see improvement. And what do think about tripollar devices and which one ? And should the devices be cleared approved to use like medicub devices . Happy holiday

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Hi there! I think you need at least 60 days to see results but 90 days would be even better. The key is to take photos so you can do real comparisons (because you don't see the changes in the mirror over time). I tried the Tripollar StopVX but didn't see any significant changes: bit.ly/3TPM9vI But I think the reults would have been better using the EMS. I may still do another video on that. I've used the Evenskyn Lumo, which is excellent. bit.ly/3pwVJqW I'm also testing the Amiro S1 RF devie and I love it so far. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4iWiGVoorCUfdE

[@elizabethdudek213]

Omg, omg, omg! I wanted to get Naturium for our friends here in the UK as holiday gifts and just didn't have enough room in the bags to bring them over. You are always a lifesaver!! I just found them in the Space NK here. Hero!! 😍

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Brilliant! Lucky friends 😊

[@dkb2375]

I've been looking for an exfoliating product so I'll give Demalect a try. Which shade of Hydratint do you use? I have similar skin tone to you. Thx!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

It's definitely worth a try! I'm 4.0 in Hydratint. Let me know what you think!

[@cecilieharris]

I'm gonna need that Josh Holbrook mask :)

I'd really like to hear your thoughts Cecelie! I have to import (which is a bit pain)...

[@pamelagileno5483]

Hi there. Recent sub. I'm a couple years older than you (56) and am curious about the actual visible RESULTS you've noticed from the light therapy panel and the electrodes? I'm considering purchasing one or both of them but would like to know what you're actually SEEING as far as changes in your skin? Thank you so much!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I there, thank you for subbing! And Happy New Year 🥳 I have definitely seen visible results from red light therapy, which was shown in my first mask review in 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJi6aHh_jtNmi80 I've used LED consistently since then...about 5-6x per week. I think the results are similar for most of them so it comes down to preference. EXCEPT the Maysama panel because it utilises pulse light, which is different. I did a video with Bev May Sanderson, who's the owner of Maysama about the pulse light and why it's better...if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHS6pmpuipysia8 I also did a video review of the Skeen Patch, that shows my results after only a few months. I use it religiously 3x a week (which is far more than I did with any other device). It's super expensive, but it allows me to be consistent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4qbqnqHj9hlbrM I hope this helps!

[@dorothy135]

So who says I'm easily influenced? 🤣 Got the shower cap as my old one was well...old! And I bought the body wash. The wash came today and it's nice and slippery. I only tried it on my hands to see what it was like. But it has kind of ... I don't know what what's the smell, coconut? I guess it is anyway. Hopefully it's mild and it goes away once I rinse off. I don't know if they make an unscented version. I usually hate body washes. They always seem to be drying and underperform. But I really have been looking for one because my skin feels really dry and this I think will perfect. I too prefer glycerin. I need something here in the Northeast US.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I couldn't put my finger on the scent but someone said buttered popcorn 😂 It doesn't linger at all. I find it leaves my skin perfectly moistursed but I do always follow with a moisturiser. I'm currently trying the one by Naturium and they go so well together! Let me know if you like the shower cap as much as I do!

[@dorothy135]

Wow...I used it today and it was magnificent. I'm having a surgical procedure today and was told shower, NO LOTIONS. I thought well I am going to be a flake - Not so...my skin is so soft. I am a fan. Scent faded and even if it did not, it is pleasant - today it was more vanilla. I cannot moisturize, but when I can I am sure that will be even better!@@SkinObsessedMary

[@saraht1976]

[@coffeelover4642]

You like the led panel better than the omnilux?

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Yes I do. I think it delivers more coverage (I can do face, neck and chest with the one products). But Omnilux is great and I still use masks if I don't have time for the panel or if I'm travelling.

[@niamhbyrne4036]

Is skin and me available in Ireland? Thanks

[@davidsotir4318]

Thanks for the roundup Mary! Just a quick question: I see that the Dermelect serum contains denatured alcohol (as well as witch hazel which is distilled using alcohol). Do you find this serum could be a little irritating at all?

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Yes it does but it's really low on the list. As for irritation...it can be a bit spicy if you've highly sensitised skin (I won't use if my skin is really irritated) or freshly dermabladed skin (this would hurt).

[@davidsotir4318]

@@SkinObsessedMary Thanks for your reply Mary!

[@dorothy135]

@SkinObsessedMary I agree about the spicy. I just started using it again and because I use tretinoin and hydroquinone, I always put a good moisturizer on after. Drmtlgy peptide followed by their soothe and recovery cream works for me. My skin is used to the prescription topicals and can handle it now.

Hi Mary is the dermelect available in UK? I need to try this

[@SkinObsessedMary]

That's a fair point! I'll do that next time.

[@user-sh7fc6me4o]

Maysama partners with another light company that doesn’t pulse. So this is a little misleading

[@SkinObsessedMary]

They originally did their research with another company and then moved into making their own LED which, in my opinion, makes perfect sense.
