@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Birthday Trip! I try going to Puerto Rico twice a year. So far this year i went in June, now and going for Christmas! I live in Virginia. Where are you located?
Hello sweetheart how are you today! i have a question? I always finish with sunscreen after i did everything in my face so now i want to introduce face spray it like glowing spray. do i need to use after sunscreen then i spray in to my face or before sunscreen
Hey Melissa! Great video as always!! 🙂 However, I have a question regarding the layering with sunscreen. It's said that it should be the last step in a skincare routine. But what should we do, when we have some water-free solutions in the routine, f.e. Resveratrol? Is this coming before the Sunscreen (which in my case is chemical and water-based) or after? I always used it before the sunscreen, but today i remembered, that products should be layered from most watery to the most occlusive and now i'm afraid that the sunscreen can't penetrate the skin effectively when i use a water-free product before. 🥲
And yes, correct. Products should generally be layered from the most watery to the most occlusive. However, sunscreen should still be the last step in your skincare routine, regardless of the other products you're using. This would be the order of application: Cleanser Toner (if used) Water-based serums and treatments Water-free solutions (like Resveratrol) Moisturizer (if used) Sunscreen The primary goal of sunscreen is to form a protective barrier on top of the skin to shield it from UV radiation. Therefore, it doesn't necessarily need to penetrate deeply. As long as you apply your chemical sunscreen after your other skincare products, it should provide adequate protection.
Thre Effaclar cleanser for sensitive skin is enough to take out the sun protector at night? I use the Vichy ideal purify as sun protector, I don’t know if it is more difficult to take it off completly.
I haven't tried that sunscreen. However, nowadays most sunscreens come off easily. Mineral sunscreens are often a bit harder to remove. You can also use the cleanser twice to remove it from the skin.
Generally, if you have sensitive skin, you can use mineral sunscreens. BUT from my experience, the overall formulation of the sunscreen is more important. So if the mineral sunscreen contains ingredients you do not tolerate well, it will have the same outcome. So my suggestion is to test it!
Melissa can you tell me please I have now the sunscreen ISDIN Fotoultra 100 Active unify and I do it every day, do you think I may need the balm cleanser to remove it at night or it can be completely removed with just my actual cleanser Cerave now , what do you think ?
Does it remove well with your regular cleanser? Is it getting smeary and sticky when going over it? If not, it removes it properly. Otherwise, you will still see some sunscreen or areas where it "sticks". Generally, I have never had many issues with chemical sunscreens, only with mineral sunscreens.
I use that in my routine Then it is not necessary to put the sunscreen I put my cerave sunscreen on that AM I use the cerave sun projector which is the orange lid is "Hidrating mineral sunscreen broad spectrum spf50"
@@stevejr8875 If you use the moisturizer with SPF I showed in the video, that is already your sunscreen. So you do not need to use another sunscreen afterwards! :)
Hey melissa..m using 4-5 drops of paula’s choice C15 boost..i found like very little pimples on my face..is that with serum?? M using 4 drops because i have bit sunspots on cheeks..I used twice a day..4 drops in morning routine and 4 drops in night routine.. is it safe???
It can be yes since you are still new to the ingredient. What else do you use? 🤔 And yes it can be used twice a day, however you need to adjust it to your personal skin tolerance 😃
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet i use cetaphil cleanser then paula choice c15 then use baby johnson lotion and then la rochay posay sunscreen..this is my morning and night routine..in night skip sunscreen
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet around 20 mins in the morning between 9.30 to 10.. if i wash face using cleanser not only sunscreen and dirt wash out from face, face moisturizer and vitamin c serum too
@@sonalfonseka1543 Well, if you have only that little sun exposure, you really don't need to reapply it as it will hardly break down. I mean, unless you rub it off, then you can reapply it to those areas. But what does your routine look like? Can you list the steps so I can take a look?
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet cleanser toner vitamin c moisturizer and sunscreen.. at night cleanser toner and aloe gel... these days there are lot of sunshine.. around 12 o 'clock its feel like burning without sun expose
@@sonalfonseka1543 Yes, it's the same here. However, if you're not exposed to direct sunlight, it's not an issue. Sunscreen breaks down with UV radiation exposure. So, if you're not in the sun, it remains effective.
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thank you for your immediate response. I used The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in squalene (May be I didn't know how to use it properly...the product never fully got absorbed in my skin)
I never tried it, but why not 🤷🏻♀️ If it gives you the desired protection and finishes, just go for it. However, suppose you aren't happy exchange it and try another brand. Sunscreen is very individual; therefore, you need to test a few to find the right one for your needs. Great brands I can recommend is CeraVe and Paula's Choice.
Apply sunscreen to all areas where your skin is exposed to direct sunlight. However, if you wear protective clothing on the neck, for instance, then you wouldn't need to apply it there. So, you should adjust sunscreen application to your individual needs.
Well, it's likely not going to make them disappear entirely since most often you need mechanical treatment for it, but it should help to reduce it over time, but it depends on many factors. Overall, 15 days is not really an extended period. From my trials (which you can find on my channel ruclips.net/p/PLEZmBwdHv3M_f39sJdw54LUSxAHET8BAj ), it usually took about 1-2 months before I noticed any improvements. So if you do not see improvements after 2-3 months, I wouldn't continue to use it any further. But you need to be patient! 😃 And keep in mind that these are only topical cosmetic products available over the counter and not medical treatments.
I wear a fragrance free mineral sunscreen for babies from Garnier and it leaves a suuuper bad white cast on the skin. Maybe you have advice how to deal with it 😢
Hey! You could try and wear liquid or powder foundation on top of it or look for a different sunscreen without a white cast. It isn't recommended mixing your sunscreen with a makeup product as it my dilute the sunscreen, but you could layer it instead. I buy them from Amazon. Those are makeup remover washcloths :)
@@catmario7138 I have tested mineral and chemical sunscreen, and from my experience, the sunscreen formulation matters. You can have chemical sunscreens where half to a full teaspoon is way too much for the face, neck and décolletage, and the same goes for mineral sunscreens. However, the guide of half a teaspoon was very accurate for my face and neck with all the sunscreens I have tried, and I think it is an excellent measurement to get an idea of how much it is. So the main goal here is that you need a fair amount. However, if you feel that it is way too much, just reduce it a bit :)
Can i air dry my hair after applying sunscreen? Cause i apply sunscreen after taking a shower and my hair will still be wet so i apply the sunscreen and air dry my hair cause i dont have a hair dryer so i use electric fan and the air can also expose my face. Is that okay?

Hey! :)
I'm good and you?
Well, you probably want to use it after you have applied your sunscreen if it is like a makeup product :)
Can u cleanse again in the afternoon and put your moisturizer and sunscreen again? Mostly in the afternoon I'm so oily.
Sure! However, if you have oily skin, you probably do not need to use a moisturiser and just apply your sunscreen after cleansing and that's it! :)

What sunblock do you use? And do you use any other products such as Vitamin C 🤔?
This happened to my mum. She got dark spots. I think it was due to an ingredient in the sunscreen. She faded them by using sheet masks.

Changing the sunscreen.
I can recommend COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream or NIOD Survival 20 or 30
@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet have already used neutrogena and missha...Both are same!
