I cannot begin to tell you how exquisitely I was unable to take you seriously with that headband. And how, at the same time, was so delightfully elated and pleased with that headband. Love your videos, sister! 😂😂😂
Love essence! I also use it am and pm. I am saving my Sonia Roselli line until I use up all of my other brands. Your skin looks amazing and I love your headband! ❤
Today is my birthday & this video made me so happy! I just love essence. I have so many & i use them all! Also you look incredibly adorable in your little alien headband❤️
Your way of explaining is so exquisite. Based on your recommendation I went and bought the Naked Sundays collagen cream and OMG my skin is ravishing with that… thanks a million times Michelle for all you tremendous work and great videos! Big hug to you!😘
I do multiple layers of essence too, it really adds a lot. Even before serum I add d’alba spray- also use d’Alba spray over the top of my makeup to meld makeup together-wait for that to dry and then apply setting spray if needing longwear. In fact I don’t wear all of the glossy, luminous, glowy (etc) makeup products, I don’t need to because my skin glows to the gods. Layering hydrating serum is a game changer-great to use under eye too if you’re prone to milia or if you have a lot of dryness, texture, two layers or serum with dry down between & then a light weight eye cream/moisturizer-just a tiny bit. A tiny but because the under eyes don’t absorb product the same as the rest of the face so the undereye can build up & create puffiness if too much thick product is applied and of course thick products can cause milia. Love: HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice essence Dr Andrew Weil Origins Mega Mushroom Relief & Resilience COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence D’Alba First Spray Serum Sorry for the novel 😂 skincare is so fun to share about ❤
Cutest headband! Love this video. I started layering essences during the shutdown after watching a video about Korean 7 Skin Method. Game changer!! . The changes to my skin have been dramatic.
21:18 right after you wash your face on damp skin is such a great point. Before we have the chance for the rapid moisture loss the drying of the water on our skin creates we can add essence and lock in hydration
Great video, as usual! Love your headband. 😊 I didn’t know the layering trick before, but have been doing it for the last few weeks with new SR elixir and Ilia Base Face Milk I already had. Now I know the right order and will start letting the layers dry in between. I learn something new every time you do these! Thank you so much.
Im a 72 year old woman. I used Noxema all my life. I get compliments on my skin all the time. They will say you have such beautiful skin. And i will tell them i used noxema to wash my face for years.
Thank you for explaining essences, how to use them and when to use them in the routine! I never really understood them and I actually have some already!! Cereve makes a hydrating essence/toner that has ceremides in it too. some of the ones I have are sticky and I didn't use them for that reason. But now I wonder if makeup will work better on top of them. Going to have to dig them out and start experimenting!! Great video!
Michelle, I’m just going to put this out there to see whether others are interested. I would love to see you make up someone 10-15 years older than you. You have beautiful skin and, from my perspective, you look flawless. When in my 50’s I had freckles but my skin wasn’t as loose as it is now that I’m older. Plus, the purple under the eyes is more pronounced and the lids droop more. When older do we use a lighter touch with makeup or heavier? In other words, what are the adaptations for us queenagers?
I've learned so much about skin care from you and appreciate your videos.. ❤️❤️... I have tried to put together my routine, but I have never been certain of the order... Does this look good or should I switch the order?... This is my order: 1. Cosrx Toner 2. Snail Mussin 3. Essance (Sonia Roselli) 4. Vitamin C (PC) /Paula choice Salicylic Acid 2% (I mix them) 5. Lotion Serum 6. Moisturizer
I like the PKY k beauty essences available on Amazon here in Canada. The price is great per bottle volume, and it has plenty of 4.5+ star ratings. I got their moisture barrier cream too for a good price…prep for the winter, which is cold as a witch’s t*t in my part of the country. Great video, thank you so much for sharing!
Oh gosh. I used Seabreeze! Thought it was such a big upgrade from Clearasil. LOL I like the Numbuzin 3. When I ordered it from YesStyle they sent me a sample of the TirTir light milk toner. It’s ok…. May have to try the regular version. Thanks for your videos and for being your genuine self.
Of course, use an essence and then wait 20 min or more for skin to become more dry, then apply your tretinoin. If you wake up red or irritated, skip essence at night, use AM only, as Tret works best on dry dry skin ❤
One thing to keep in mind is that people with skin barrier issues really should avoid hyaluronic acid. It’s the absolute worst! It destroys skin. It’s pulling the water from deeper layers up to the surface which is why you feel immediate results but it’s at the cost of destroying deeper layers of the skin. It can also stress the cellular matrix and cause damage. One of the things estheticians do to help stressed skin is tell people to avoid the HAs. It’s basically crack for the skin, and people feel an immediate “high” on the surface so they buy things. It’s a marketing gimmick. And it makes skin dry so then you are trapped in a cycle of using and buying more products!
I forgot to ask this. I have normal skin. I'm 53. No dryness so I stopped using my essence. I barely even use my moisturizer. You find it makes a big difference? In the a..m I use my HQ, C, niacinamide & sunscreen. Thank you
Hi! Found your channel when looking for a clean foundation and came across a 2020 video. When I came to your page to see more I was surprised to hear you say that you’re getting Botox again. Curious as to how you decided to stop and then why you started again if you don’t mind sharing?
Great question and Im going to do a big neurotoxin video soon but I left the clean beauty niche in 2022 and my 11s, which on ne are 111s, were getting deeper and if I didn’t do something, they would be etched forever so I started using disport just between my eyebrows and I go three times a year
Thank you, Michelle for all the great info for skin care! I would love to see a link for the laneige mist or the Caudalie mist, but I can't find it in the mist form, seems to be all in a pat on. Can you help?
I had trouble finding Laneige and Im wondering if they changed the mist pump into a pour spout only. Caudalie is on the Caudalie site, I totally forgot to list it but it smells SO good!!!❤
Would a good essence also be The Ordinary’s Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner? I use that but wasn’t sure if that could be considered an essence but it does make my skin soft.
You recently did a Roxy Hart makeup (I think, I can’t find it) but you ask us to recommend other characters (with Halloween fast approaching). Could you do Morticia Adams? I’m supposed to go to a party as her. TY
Michelle, last week you told us you put PSC Fade Bright first on your freshly cleansed skin then other things. Today you said to put essence on freshly cleansed skin. I am confused. I bought the Fade Bright and have been following the package directions which is what you said last week. Please help me understand the sequence. Thanks so much ❤.
Yes, great point! When I use essence at night i use it immediately after cleansing. Then I wait quite awhile before applying Fade Bright. Fade Bright needs to be applied to dry skin. ❤
Hi Michelle I have a 17 year old son Gabriel Michael, has really fair skin, and I'm constantly on him to wear sunscreen, but he won't have it. I wish he would get on board. The sunscreens I buy have no fragrance and blend super easy like a moisturizer. Today, I went on Amazon and couldn't find my favorite sunscreen. Do you know anything similar to Missha soft touch Sun Milk SPF 50?
I know of it but havent used it. Men/boys are funny. They claim they can “feel” spf or skincare and hate the feeling. Supergoop makes a matte spf, good for men, so does Naturium, UV Reflect, or have you tried Biore UV? Its a watery spf and on amazon
@@HaydeeSophia The Round Lab Birch juice moisturizing sunscreen is 50 ++++ spf and my dry sensitive skin loves it. Very good price on Amazon too. No white cast, either.☺️
HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airlyft SPF 50+ (yellow tube) is the only one I can occasionally get my husband to wear. He plays pickleball daily outside sigh once or twice a week I get him to put some on nose and cheeks. The HaruHaru has no smell, goes on so nicely, no white cast-is Korean so a superior sunscreen imo, not expensive either. The best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually wear, good luck 😊
Yes and no, first step is oil cleanser or cleansing balm, something emollient to break up makeup and SPF. Second step is a gentle foaming or cream cleanser, something to ensure its all washes away and clean enough for skincare to come ❤
@@maturemakeupmasterclass ooooh I need to start doing this and also use an essence. Have you used Beauty of Joseon’s essence? I noticed TirTir makes a light version of the toner and I’m wondering which would be better to use.
I cannot begin to tell you how exquisitely I was unable to take you seriously with that headband. And how, at the same time, was so delightfully elated and pleased with that headband. Love your videos, sister! 😂😂😂
That is hilarious!! I love it so much! And with Halloween approaching, I may donn it more often ❤
Your natural skin looks amazing ✨

I am on my third bottle
Of TirTir essence, love that stuff and got a travel
Size of the ceramic moisturizer which is also really good!
Don’t you just love travel size???❤

Omg- I had to laugh because I too used Noxema and Sea Breeze😊
We all did! We loved stripped skin 😂

That is amazing!!! I still love the smell
@@maturemakeupmasterclassoh, me too!!
It did smell good but boy, if you got it in your eye…ouch!
I don't try essences anymore bc I absolutely love Dr Ceuracle. Affordable (under $30) and very hydrating. Really nice video.
What a great video, thanks Michelle!
Love your headband. Too cute!! Thanks Michelle for sharing your skincare routine with us!! 💜💜

Great video!! Good information!!
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy your videos very informative but I feel like we are friends and your giving me personal advice . Love it
Love the Sonia Roselli products. Just picked up the essence. Thanks for the recommendation!
Love this! Essences make me feel so fancy!Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Essence is a great first step.
Yes and Good Molecules is so affordable ❤

I just wanted to let you know that I found Prequel at Target!!! $17.89!!
When would you apply your vitamin c if you are layering essences?
Hi! Please tell me how/when to use this with tretinoin at night. Love you!
Of course, use an essence and then wait 20 min or more for skin to become more dry, then apply your tretinoin. If you wake up red or irritated, skip essence at night, use AM only, as Tret works best on dry dry skin ❤

Also, if we use the Paula’s Choice BHA 2%, when would be use that? I use the PC and then the milky toner. Is that the correct step?
Correct, 2% BHA first since its a chemical exfoliant then essence
@@maturemakeupmasterclass Thank you!

I use retinaldehyde at night. Can I use essence before that? I currently only use it in the AM.
Yes! Cleanse, then essence, then wait to bed about 20 or 30 minutes before applying any type of retinoic acid
