@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much for replying! If you could kindly respond to a follow-up question...I saw somewhere that people who have shellfish allergy breakout after using snail mucin. I do have slight reactions to shellfish and occasionally break out in hives if I have them. Do you think I should avoid snail mucin?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@sarjanasi If you have a shellfish allergy and experience reactions such as hives, it would be cautious to avoid using snail mucin in your skincare routine. Although snail mucin is not derived from shellfish, it is a mollusk secretion, and there can be similarities in the allergens present in mollusks and shellfish. People with shellfish allergies sometimes react to other marine animals, including mollusks like snails.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much!! I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your prompt responses. I will not be incorporating snail mucin into my skincare, instead I am opting for propolis serum and overnight rice mask.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

If you're looking for hydration, then the snail mucin is essentially a good product, as it gives you a nice, glowy finish. But apart from that, it doesn't do much. And this is how I've learned a lot over the years - by simply helping people. So I also gain something from doing this. 🙃

[@ashleyzeledon1708]

Hi Melisa, i’ve been currently struggling to find a moisturizer since everything I’ve tried has made me break out or clog my pores. I wasn’t sure if i should buy Snail mucin, but after this video i understand more about it and i will definitely be purchasing it.! Would it be okay to use as a full-time moisturizer? This is my current routine AM: i found it best to just wash my face w/ water in the morning *this is also why i’ve been needing a moisturizer* PM: oil cleanser CerVa cream-to-foam cleanser the ordinary niacinamide *i have oily to combination skin, sensitive, and acne prone” Thank you and i love your videos!😁

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yeah, I've had a similar experience. But also often, when I just washed with water and then applied a product afterwards, it clogged my pores. However, when I refrained from using anything afterwards, it worked much better. By the way, you can definitely use snail mucin as a moisturizer. I followed that method using hydrating toners for a while, and it showed much better results. In fact, I hardly ever use a moisturizer anymore. If my skin becomes too dry, I take a break from everything except the cleanser for a few days and then resume my routine. That approach seems to work best for me. :)

Regarding the pores, you can watch this short video: kzbin.infoOskM0r9iltA For the rest, you can incorporate both products into your routine. However, I suggest starting slowly with niacinamide by using it once every other day for the first two weeks or so, before using it daily if tolerated. Clean your face. Pat dry. Apply snail mucin. Apply niacinamide. (Optional) Use a moisturizer if needed.

Your morning and night skincare routines look good for dry skin, but it's important to keep in mind that everyone's skin is different and may react differently to certain products. Some people with dry skin may find that they need a heavier moisturizer, especially at night.

Hi Melissa, I find your videos very helpful and I am very thankful for them. I am wondering if I could get your tips on something. I have been using the CeraVe SA cleanser for half a year and I just recently thought about how it makes my skin feel a bit tight and makes my nose kind of flaky and too dry. However, after I apply moisturiser, my nose feels too oily again.

Hey! :) What's your overall skin type? You could alternate between your SA cleanser and a gentle cleanser (suitable for your skin type). Also, you do not necessarily need a moisturizer; you could also just use a hydrating toner or essence instead of a moisturizer because those have usually a lighter texture but still add hydration to the skin. Or skip applying your moisturizer on your nose (where you get oily).

Hi there, I would appreciate if you could upload a video on how to get rid of closed comedones with using which products thanks 🙏

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Try an exfoliating acid such as Salicylic Acid (2%) if you have normal to oily skin or Glycolic Acid if you have normal to dry skin. But the best would be to extract them.

I haven't tried that one, but it looks good😅 If you have normal to oily skin, you do not need to use a moisturizer. If a bit of dryness should occur, use a hydrating toner or essence instead.

@@gabylana6111 I don't think that you have really dry skin, otherwise, you wouldn’t have those problems. So, I recommend using no moisturiser at all. If you want to add hydration to the skin, do so by using a toner, essence or serum. Something that's a lot lighter on the skin.
