Besides the pared down, which I definitely appreciate, I also appreciate affordable dupes!❤

[@MrsMelissaM]

Same here!

[@lynnekayey3958]

You do not even have to talk about products just say this is what I use to make my skin look like this ! Your skin is so radiant ! You are literally aging backwards!

[@lizbethy3214]

Ahe looks beautiful!

[@MrsMelissaM]

You're so sweet Lynne. Thank you! 😘

[@sheilapriest5434]

You look amazing

[@susanmc6445]

What you are doing works. Your skin does not look dry, it looks moist and dewy - not oily either.

[@roxannerutherford3524]

Hi Melissa, you are the first KZbinr I started following when I started my skincare journey over 2 years ago. I started using Sukoyaka Suhada Urea cream at that time and still have it in my routine to this day.🙂

[@MrsMelissaM]

Woohoo! I love hearing that Roxanne. Yay!

[@dawnie1101]

Your skin has always looked amazing but now it's gone to another level. I've started using copper peptides along with Dmae (apologises if I've got the letters wrong.!). It's early days but I am seeing a difference in the tightness of my skin, especially around my jawline. Ageing is a privilege not a curse however I still like to give it a helping hand to slow down!! 😂😂 Fabulous video. xxx💖💖

[@tammyweeks5513]

I would love for you to do a tutorial on how you style your hair! It looks gorgeous!! I feel like i never get my bangs to look right!!

[@jacrippin1]

Me too!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Here's my really weird tip for my bangs. Part on the opposite side you wear them a little deeper then normal. Now curl the sideways toward that part. So if you part them to the left, curl them to the left. Then I mess the curl up a lot & sweep them to the other side & spray a lot to give volume & hold. It gives amazing volume. I'll try to do a video soon.

La Roche-Posay products are FANTASTIC. I've been using them for 30+ years. Great for all people, but especially for those of us with allergies, sensitivities, autoimmune challenges, or chronic illnesses.

[@KHC2023]

I use the Naturium Retinal and love it! Also, use the Drmtlgy Needless Serum, Drmtlgy peptide night cream and both are incredible! The Drmtlgy eye cream you mentioned is a miracle in a bottle in my opinion! I am 60 and my skin has never looked better ❤. Not a big makeup person as I spend most days on the golf course! Sunscreen is super important to me for daytime! Love you sweet lady and thanks so much❤ for

[@MrsMelissaM]

Yay! I'm so glad you use DRMTLGY &love them! 😊

[@debracole6587]

I have used most of the La Roche Posay products for about 10 years now. A friend introduced me to them when my eczema had escalated. I like that there is almost no scent and are good for sensitive skin. Thanks more more great reviews and tips. You look lovely as usual.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Thanks for sharing!! They sound great Debra. I need to try more

[@ellenebay3470]

These are my fav videos because as I get older I'm more focused on skincare than mup. Don't get me wrong, still wear mup 3days/wk when I go to work but only lip and blush the rest of the time.

I'm so happy you enjoy them Ellen.

[@ckatiej3]

Hi sweet pretty lady!! I usually am in bed watching TV so I don't comment. You have given me the information to architecturally lay out my skin care and make up, including products and make up. Only bc we are similar in age, skin type and shade and I TRUST YOU 100%. THAT'S KEY! You're good Ms Melissa. Take time for yourself so you can pamper you and rejuvenate. You give allot. take of yourself. life goes by quickly. XXOO talk soon😊❤

Hi Melissa. The Fig Balm Cleanser sounds fantastic. Do you experience any stinging on your eyes? Most balms bother my eyes, that are super sensitive. Right now, I'm using The Ordinary Squalene Cleanser. But always looking for something new! I only use an exfoliating toner once a week, because I use prescription Retin-A most other nights. My ride or die product. Peptides are fabulous for your skin. Your skin looks incredible! I heard so many good things about the Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel. Once I'm done my Ole Henriksen Moisturizer, I definitely want to try it. Thanks so much for sharing your nighttime skincare routune. Have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs. 💖🥰

Hi Melissa! I look forward to my pm skin care routine. When I've had a busy day, I look forward to a relaxing, soothing routine to wind down. I have been double cleansing for years and have found less breakouts and milia. I love the Ordinary's Copper Peptide though it's very expensive but I will have to try the one from COSRX.

[@Heather_A1]

I am loving the bakuchiol cream/primer I have been using. It is formulated and produced by Geek Out of Water here on YT! Babelash was the first lash serum I went with. I got a tube from boxycharm and really liked my result then started with a subscription through the website for the price break. I had been using it for about 4 years until 6 weeks ago when I decided to experiment and see what results I had with Bimat. So far so good and no negatives but we'll see where I am at in another 12 weeks as I go through a few growth/fall cycles.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Oh i can't wait to see what you think about it. Please keep us updated 🤞

[@ckatiej3]

I've used the bioscience, loves it, out of$range. I'm buying the cosrx peptide Monday, Payday! Just ordered new little face clothes. I'm using the gel& gorgeous cleansing balm. It's good but I get cloudy eye. I just cherish you and your knowledge. If you want a great times sunscreen AMAZING Josie Maran protect and perfect or visa versa. It's a little pricey but with my skin cancer I have no choice. I don't need a foundation with that in! Love it Love u. Sent you an email😁🌹❤️ ps house of josean eye cream I use. I'm gonna try dermatology bc I'm not seeing drastic changes. Love u

[@MrsMelissaM]

I'm so glad you're getting the cloths Katie. I think you'll love them.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I change brands almost like an influencer. I was a subscriber of Murad then Meaningful Beauty for years. With all the products out there I cancelled them and started trying new things in 2021 and feel liberated! New products keep me consistent with my skin care routine. I have to remind myself to use up what I have before trying something else. But I am a devotee of Retinaldehyde and multipeptide products. I have tried many of the things you have recommended. Thank you!

[@MrsMelissaM]

This comment was so good. Things that worked in the past might not now because the science of skincare changes all the time. Why wouldn't we want to try them & see if they work better.

[@JMW969]

Hi beautiful Melissa! I also use the Dermelect serum only once a week because of my sensitive skin and sometimes I keep it just for a bit and rinse it. I know the internet has gone crazy about the castor oil use for everything but I'm here to tell you that it has done wonders to my skin, lashes and brows! I have dry and sensitive skin and I apply castor oil (not too much bc is very sticky) after everything nightly and my skin is plumped, softer, and my eyelashes and eyebrows are looking better than ever, long and well conditioned. Thanks friend for all your recommendations 😊

[@MrsMelissaM]

Wonderful tip! I'm so happy you shared your experience.

[@cynthiaswank6678]

I use good old ponds to remove makeup half the price.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Oh great idea Cynthia!

[@milicamarshastefanovich3312]

I use that as well! Works like a dream and is cheap. If I’m in a pinch and need to save money, I will use Dove Beauty Bar as my double cleanse. Doesn’t dry my face and works great. I rather use my money for serums that actually change my skin over time.

[@wiseowl1580]

I used to use that when I was a teen (55 now) but it leaves a nasty film in my eyes. Very uncomfortable. I experiment with different balms but been using Cerave makeup removing balm. I like it for 1) no eye ickyness, and 2) it has some sorta cooling effect. What I don't like is the price. 😊

I always love your recommendations and not long ago finally got the Sukoyaka Suhada urea eye cream that you always talk about for under concealer. I also ha e extremely dry undereyes. I do love the eye cream but i cant get it to work under concealer. It always makes it peel or hars to blend and ive tried it with silicone and non silicone based concealers. Can you please tell me what im doing wrong? Maybe im using too much or something. I just have a hard time finding an eye cream that is super hydrating and works under concealer.❤

What do you do on other nights to exfoliate that you don’t use the Dermelect Self Esteem Night Exfoliating Serum? You stated you alternate exfoliating with treatments but that you only use this exfoliating treatment once a week.

[@MrsMelissaM]

I usually rely on just a rough wash rag. If I exfoliate with chemical exfoliators more that once a week, my skin gets super irritated. But if your skin can handle more, I would do it 3 times a week. Giving my skin a rest between helps.

[@feliciabethea2211]

Melissa, can you recommend a night cream that has everything in it? I can manage washing my face, and the majority of the time, I can do the most effective serums before my cream, but there are nights I just can't manage much more than cleansing. Can you help?

Melissa, where do you fit Benton Fermentation Essence into your routine. I never know where to use it.

On the nights that you don't use the exfoliators, use it after your peptides dry down & before Retinal. If you're not using copper, you can use it right after cleansing.

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Beverly. The two things I would suggest are; try setting the eyeliner with an eyeshadow that matches it or some Translucent powder, or try using only eyeshadow as your eyeliner. Also, you can try using less Eyeliner & smudging it to begin with & then using the shadow on top. I hope that helps.

I don't wear makeup every day.

[@nataliemarshall7158]

I have heard that if you don’t wear makeup or sunscreen every day but you do go out and about in public you all the more need to cleanse and treat your skin every night because it will have pollutants and other environmental toxins sitting directly unfiltered on your skin! If you wear only a sunscreen then you will have given your skin some level of a barrier from the pollutants etc . But if you have worn a sunscreen, as we all should every day, then you will still need to have a PM cleansing routine so the sunscreen doesn’t clog your pores. So going by that theory we should all be having a PM skincare routine to one degree or another. It was being told about no makeup equals raw pollutants sitting directly on my skin that helped me to justify wearing makeup every day when I was living and/or working in a city. I liked feeling that I was having some control over what my skin was absorbing.
