How to use Moisturizer

[@oliviamiller3743]

Thank you for this video! It really helped me. ❤️

[@StarTheDumpy]

Great video! One question, can I use my moisturiser when going to sleep and can I use it with my sunscreen when going out?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, you can use the moisturizer when going to sleep, and it's also advisable to use sunscreen during the daytime, especially when going out.

But isn't it recommended that we apply our moisturizer to damp skin, and that we don't need to activate a product between our hands because it's wasteful. Dr dray said this

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, there is some confusion between dry, damp, and wet skin. I'm not sure if she's been spreading that misinformation recently since I haven't watched her videos in years. She has sadly become more of a salesperson and seems to care less about her audience. It's disheartening to see this change; I'm unsure what led to it. Perhaps it's the pressure from current global events... 😞 To clarify and answer your questions: Wet skin refers to skin that has a noticeable layer of water on it. You can see water droplets on the skin's surface, and you can feel the water when you touch the skin. Damp skin refers to skin that has been patted dry on the surface but still retains moisture internally. There are no visible water droplets on the skin's surface. It's akin to a sponge or a piece of clothing that no longer drips water but remains moist to the touch. Dry skin refers to skin that has been patted dry on the surface and then left for 5-10 minutes to allow the remaining moisture to evaporate. This practice involves letting the skin air dry completely before applying any products or continuing with other skincare routines. Doing so can be beneficial, especially when using potent treatments, as it allows them to absorb more slowly into the skin, thereby reducing irritation. In the video, I essentially demonstrated what damp skin looks like. If the explanation above wasn't clear enough, you can watch it again in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-4hoiobZalgqc Regarding the product rubbing between your hands, it's not meant to activate the product, but simply to help you spread it more easily over your face. You don't really waste the product this way. What such KZbinrs are often trying to do is create a unique application method, which helps them stand out and build a following. Of course, there are different methods of application, and it largely comes down to personal preference

Such a wonderful reply to the comment...thanks for your video..i really needed this video

[@liviavandesande6490]

Hii, do you know by any chance if the "byoma" moisturizer with niacinamide and green tea is good for combination skin, its a gel cream. I need a moisturizer because i use skincare that helps well with my acne but on some spots of my face it gets really dry and flakey.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You can certainly use it, applying it only to the areas you feel are necessary, specifically the dry areas. That's how I suggest doing it. ;)

Should we use moisturize on damp skin or dry skin?

Damp skin, as demonstrated, is ideal, but dry skin is also acceptable! Damp Skin vs. Wet Skin vs. Dry Skin kzbin.infojvqvR1em-i0

Can use moisturizer before going sleep and wash my face morning

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes you can :)

[@insomniac8049]

I use a salicylic acid solution at night for blackheads should I moisturize before or after or should I only use moisturizer in the morning? I also use an spf should I apply that before or after moisturizer

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

For blackheads, you actually need extractions; serums alone won't do the trick. And you use the moisturizer afterward. Here’s a simple routine: Clean your face. Pat it dry. Apply an SA serum. Wait a couple of minutes. Apply a moisturizer. And be sure to choose the right moisturizer for your skin type: kzbin.infob3fHNKxb2aA

[@insomniac8049]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet then follow up question do you suggest I do so myself with like a mask or strip or something or should I just go to a dermatologist

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Well, if you are unsure about how to extract them, it's best to see a dermatologist or beautician to get them extracted, and then after that, you may be able to do it yourself at home :)

Thank you❤

Thanks real one fr

[@GulbergFN]

Should i use vaseline or moisturizer first?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

What moisturizer do you use? Are you planning on using it all over your face? If so, what's your skin type, and what are your skin concerns? My suggestion would be to use either one of them, not both.

[@GulbergFN]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I don’t use a moisturizer right now because i don’t know which one i should buy. And i have a little dry skin. And my skin concerns are acne and winkles but do you have any idea what moisturizer i should use?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@GulbergFN If you have acne, then generally Vaseline is too heavy, and this can make it worse. That has been my experience over the years, as I am also dealing with the condition and currently have it well under control. I generally do not use any moisturizer on the oilier areas of my face, opting instead for lightweight serums like a hyaluronic acid serum, or something lightweight like a gel-based moisturizer. You could look into the following two options: How to use CeraVe Ultra Light Moisturizing Gel kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX6mdmeFjbF8las How to use The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5PUi6xtoKaZg8U

[@GulbergFN]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I have some small pimbles that you can barely see. Do you know What the difference is for the 2 videos you sent?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

​@@GulbergFN The Ordinary NMF + Beta Glucan is a gel that absorbs super quickly into the skin, leaving no residue. On the other hand, CeraVe's gel is a bit 'richer' but still lightweight. It's really a matter of preference. Do you also use something for your pimples, such as a Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid Cleanser?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

A gel-type moisturizer would be ideal if you really want to use one. For example, consider The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors with Beta-Glucan, G&G Hydration Station, or CeraVe Moisturizing Gel.

[@مومود]

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Sorry if I sound stupid (I am new to this), if I have normal skin should I even bother do skincare routine, because I want my skin to be amazing and to remove these eye bags I have. Thank you for your helpful videos btw!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

​@@مومود You can keep the routine really basic. Like cleanser, something hydrating such as an essence, serum, or light moisturizer, and SPF during the daytime if you have sun exposure. However, as for your eye bags, you may have a chance with The Ordinary Caffeine Solution or their Multi-Peptide Eye Serum. Use either one of them after cleansing. However, depending on your eye bags, it's best to see a dermatologist or so to treat it more effectively. 😊

[@vanessagnambo8008]

Hello, I usually have oil skin. I used gel or water based moisturizer, but my face ( the texture of my skin) started to get dry( but I still had oil on my face) with some products I used for my dark spots and I decided to use laroche posay cream moisturizer for very dry skin. Now, the texture of my face is better, but I feel that the oil on my face is getting worse. Do you advise me to go back to the gel moisturizer or do it together ( like gel type today and cream type the next day). Thanks for your help.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, because the cream is too thick, there will always be some oiliness regardless of what you do. You can only regulate it with silicone-based formulations or sunscreens. For example, if you use sunscreen during the day, something like NIOD Survival 20 or 30 could keep you matte for an extended period. So, look for gel formulations with dimethicone. Perhaps a moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel would be ideal. Which one have you tried in the past? 🤔

[@vanessagnambo8008]

Thank you for your answer. I used the neutrogena hydro boost and the equate( the one that says it's like neutrogena hydroboost gel), laroche posay gel moisturizer for oily face ( but it's expensive 😂😂)

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@vanessagnambo8008 Hmm, okay. Well, you could also try the new CeraVe Gel Moisturizer or The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan.

[@vanessagnambo8008]

Thanks so much. I will try both of them and see what's best for me ❤️.

Are you meant to moisturize only your face and neck ?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

You can also use it on your body if desired, but this video primarily focuses on the face and neck. The process would be the same.
