Ábout the amount I showed in the video, yes. However, not the amount I have on the face in my thumbnail ;) That was only for the picture ;)

Thank you!🤗 Yes, that's fine. Do you feel the need of using The Ordinary moisturizer + the tinted cream? Isn't the tinted cream or your SPF hydrating enough so that you could skip The Ordinary moisturizer?

@Melissa Van Dijk yeah I didn't think about it before because I have intense dry skin. Now I'll try replacing mosturizer with some much hydrating SPF. Thanks for hinting me towards it. Loads of love. Keep glowing.❤️

@@hiramirza9647 same here, I use a moisturiser with spf and it's okay but it's not moisturising enough, did you find anything more moisturising?

Hey again! Thank you🥰

Thanks for watching!🙂

Thank you :)

Hey! :) What's your skin type? What are your skin concerns? What other skincare products do you use? And what moisturizer and sunscreen do you use?

@@manteiz-pubgmobile2045 are you referring to enlarges pores and what moisturizer do you use? 🤔

My pleasure 😊

Hey :) What is your skin type? Do you use a moisturiser underneath or not? And what about primer? Have you tried that? Also, how long do you wait between your sunscreen a makeup application? If you are mostly inside and not sunbathing, then SPF 15 or higher is enough. However, if you are outdoors a lot - it's best to wear SPF 30 or higher :) Have a look at this article: www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-prevention/sun-protection/sunscreen/ So, you could use, for example, a moisturiser that has SPF 15 or higher in it and then move on to your makeup application :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thanks so much for answering! My skin type is combination but usually tends to be more dry. I do use moisturiser underneath, recently i have been using The Ordinary moisturiser with HA. I have tried a couple of different primers, but they don't seem to help much. I have tried the Revlon spf 15 primer which is good but i found it pilled with liquid concealer/foundation on top. I also tried the Rimmel London spf 25 primer but i don't feel it keeps the makeup in place/sitting well any better than sunscreen. My go to before i started wearing sunscreen was the Rimmel London fix and perfect primer which i loved, but if it wear spf underneath it it doesn't seem to make the makeup sit as well either/ maybe it doesn't have as good of a surface to cling to. Do you have any recommendations for a primer? Between sunscreen and makeup, i usually wait a bit for it to soak in, maybe 5-10 minutes while i do something else like get dressed! Ah okay great article thank you! Glad to know i don't need a very high spf every day. Do you have any recommendations for a drug store moisturiser with spf? I used the Simple spf 15 one for a little bit but it kept making me break out. 🧚‍♀️

@@3va_r0s3 I have a combination skin myself, and I love La Roche Posay moisturisers (Especially the La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid, but that one doesn't have SPF :( ) However, some of them have SPF as well or Nivea moisturisers or even Neutrogena:) Or you may want to look into the Nivea Sensitive Sunscreen :) Have you have tried using a BB cream or Tinted Moisturiser instead of a foundation and just use a bit of concealer where you feel the need? This way, you have a light tinted layer on = less product can move around and settle into lines and wrinkles. Or a tinted sunscreen instead? This way, you have like a two in one and just add a bit of concealer to it, and that's it! :)

hey, I know you're not asking me but I do have some advice, as I wear a full face of make up everyday (and a mask) and I have found that natural mineral zinc sunscreen is actually a very good primer and actually makes my makeup last longer. I specifically use Nivea Sensitive Mineral Kids Sunscreen 50 spf. It's very thick and makes you look a little pale. but my make up does not crease underneath. I actually think it has improved my skin as Zinc is a very good mineral for skin. However, if you already like your sunscreen and dont want to use mineral zinc because it makes you look a little too white, my best tip is to let the sunscreen dry for at least 10 min and use a little setting spray after wards to "set it". I know the struggle of wearing makeup plus the heat and now face masks, I really do swear by these things but I have very dry skin.

You can also apply it on top of your serum; this video was only if you want to add it on top of a moisturizer since many people do not use any serum and only use a cleanser, moisturizer. And it seems to be not clear how long you need to wait in between, or if you need to wait long in between. Apologize for any confusion.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial So it is cleanser > vitamin c serum > moisturizer > sunscreen and you are done?

@@Vodoriga yes correct :)

On top of moisturizer I use Coola sunscreen spray, or Sunbum they have a few choices.

Great tips mam. Thxs

Yeah, some products are available as a travel size, and others aren't🤔 Well, I like it, but I also know that I get random breakouts and it hasn't really much to do with what products I'm using...I think it's more hormonal/stress that's causing them to pop up! 😖

Hey! :) What's your skin type? What's your AM and PM routine? What moisturizer and sunscreen do you use? If your sunscreen stings on the eyelids - avoid applying it! :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial My skin type is oily, My day & night routine is almost similar. During day time, I wash my face with Episoft Cleansing Milk, then I apply the chemical sunscreen, then I use Physiogel moisturizer. At night, I again wash my face with the cleansing milk and apply Physiogel moisturizer once again. That's it

What are your skin concerns? How's the routine working out for you so far? Why do you use a cleansing milk if you have oily skin? Have you ever tried a foaming cleanser? Do you feel the need to use a moisturizer at all? Either way, use your sunscreen after your moisturizer. Alternatively, you can skip your moisturizer in the morning (just use it at night) and use the sunscreen on its own.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial It's more like a cleansing lotion, it really suits my skin. I actually have skin concerns like tanning and a bit of post-acne scars, for whice my doc gave me those medicines. When I used to use Nutrogena sunscreen on my eyelids, my eyes used to sting even then. But I will remember your suggestion,I will skip my moisturizer after using sunscreen in the morning & at night I will apply the moisturizer. Thank you so much for your time and suggestions. That was really sweet of you 😊

I tried Shidedo clear sunscreen stick.😃

Yes you can

How to use Cleanser, Toner, Essence, Serum, Moisturizer, Sunscreen and Foundation kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtxgnZuSvL7Oook.html

Hmm... In that case, your sunscreen and/or foundation formulation may not be compatible. So, it's best to get either a new sunscreen or foundation. However, do you have a lot of sun exposure? Alternatively, consider looking into a foundation with SPF included.

Hey :) How "much" acne do you have? The products you have chosen may work to reduce the look of blemishes (a few breakouts here and there). However if you have sever acne, I recommend seeing a dermatologist who can give you the right acne treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide or Adapalene or something similar to it. You could use it like this: AM Routine: - Cleanser - Niacinamide - Alpha Arbutin - (Optional) Moisturiser - SPF PM Routine: - Cleanser - Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid - (Optional) Moisturiser Use either Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid since both are AHA (chemical exfoliating acids). How often you can exfoliate your skin depends on your skin concerns and tolerance. Some people can use it daily whereas others prefer to use it only a few times per week. Depending on your SPF you may not feel the need of using a moisturiser before applying your SPF and this is fine! As for your moisturiser in general, only use it if you feel the need and your skin is/becomes dry and then just use the moisturiser on those dry areas since you have a combination skin :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank u so much , I have slightly acne but acne scars and dark spots. Currently I’m breast feeding too .is there any thing I can add to my routine makes my skin bright and fade my dark spots.

Have a look at this article: www.paulaschoice.de/en/pregnancy-and-skin-care-which-products-are-safe#:~:text=Retinol.,them%20during%20pregnancy%20or%20breastfeeding. It may be best to stop using Alpha Arbutin since it is a "derivative'" of hydroquinone, at least while you are breastfeeding. But you may be able to look for a Vitamin C serum instead, which can lighten and brighten the skin :) If your Vitamin C contains Ascorbic Acid, keep it separate from Niacinamide. If it includes a Vitamin C derivative, you can use it with Niacinamide :)

Generally, there is no need to do this if you haven't been exposed to the sun for hours or when you sweat a lot or so that the sunscreen has time to break down. Here is a little guide: docdro.id/1IiwWWN

No, but if you want to use one, always apply it before your sunscreen.

Which sunscreen are you currently using? Also, what other products are part of your routine? 🤔

Hey! :) Yes you can!

Thanks Melissa! Have a wonderful day.

@@cherrylbuendia3869 You too! :)

Jane Iredale makes a nice powered sunscreen & so does Supergoop

Yeah, that is a bit controversial. But not many are using very heavy moisturizers anymore. If you have a traditional moisturizer such as Vaseline or the Blue Nivea, it may be best not to use it since they have a high amount of petrolatum that may influence it. But almost all (99%) "new" moisturizers are very light in texture even if they are meant for dry skin, and then they are applied before.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks I’ll try this

Any time

I recommend watching the video😉

Hey! :) So, what's your skin type? What are your skin concerns? You do not need to use more than that if you do not have any other skin issues😉

Yes, but do you really need it? How much sun exposure do you get, and do you have dry skin?

of course

yes, exactly :)

Hey! 😊 Do you usually mix your moisturizer with your foundation? What moisturizer and sunscreen do you use?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I use cerave moisturising lotion and switch between missha aqua sunscreen, 3w clinic intensive sunblock cream. No I don't wear foundation on regular basis but I was thinking to wear it mixed with moisturizer.

@@oni1853 Hm... I'm not too sure how this interacts with the sunscreen. I mean, it could work (if you just add a tiny amount of moisturizer to your foundation and let your sunscreen set before applying it on top). However, if you want to use more, I suggest doing this: moisturizer, sunscreen, wait 10-15 minutes, then foundation.

Yes, it is recommended to wait for at least 15 minutes after applying mineral sunscreen before going out into the sun. This allows the sunscreen to fully bind to your skin and provide the best protection against harmful UV rays.

You don't need sunscreen at night.

Yes, give your sunscreen 10-15 minutes to set before applying your makeup on top. See here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtxgnZuSvL7Oook.html

Hyram says no... you would need to apply an exaggerated amount of that product to get effective protection. If you can, get a sunscreen that’s only sunscreen 😇

I don't think it is an issue; if you use an excellent formulation such as Paula's Choice, La Roche Posay, Cetaphil, Nivea, there shouldn't be a problem. You need to use a fair amount, as I showed in the video. The thing is, if you use poorly formulated products, it may look greasy or oily reasonably quickly. But apart from that, there isn't an issue. But most only contain SPF 25 or SPF 30, which is in almost every case enough. But if you live in Australia, where the sun is burning, I recommend SPF 50. What's most important is that you apply it evenly and maybe reapplying it when you are outside and when the sun is burning. If you seek shade most of the time wear normal protective clothing or have a regular office job, you won't need much.

changing the sunscreen :)

If you apply it in the AM, leave it on the skin for the entire day, and then wash your face when getting home. 😊

I have it but I have never tried it 😉

Plz make a video on it just clip wanna know ♥️

@@hadiakhan4293 Yes, first, I have to test it and then I'll do a video about it :)

Ok I will wait for it ♥️

I haven't tried that one. But you can use sunscreen after any moisturizer; the thing is, it sometimes doesn't blend well.(sometimes it leads to pilling = little white flakes which almost look like your skin is rubbing off) But for that, you need to test it 😃

Ok melissa thank you so much ❤️

Hope you like it! 🙂 Same goes for you! :)

My pleasure 😊

Hey! :) I'm not sure how you should use the Powder and Fair Cream...do you leave it on or do you wash it off? Technically, your sunscreen is the last step in the morning before makeup. Also, no you do not need to use a moisturizer before sunscreen.

Tqss mama for giving replyyy

Around 5-10min. See here: How to use a Cleanser, Sunscreen, Primer, Foundation and Setting Powder: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcCEe8Zi2pvQimw.html

Yes, that's fine!

It depends on the gel you are using. Usually, it soaks in immediately, and you can use the moisturizer right after. If not, just give it 1-2minutes.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank you, bdw will a vitamin c serum come before or after benzoyl peroxide gel?

@@1rismono I always use it before :) Since the texture is lighter.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial with a minute gap? thank you so much, usually other beauty ytbers don't respond so you're helping me out so much!

No, you can apply it right away, or let's say give it 1-2 minutes (depending on the moisturizer you are using).

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Is it OK to apply the sunscreen when I'm going out only ? Or is it necessary to apply it after moisturizer

@@lisajm Yes, I also do that. I mean, unless you are sitting the entire day in front of the window with direct sunlight so that the sun hits your face ;) It protects you from the sunrays, which are the main cause of premature aging and skin cancer. So, I personally think that it is the most important step in your daily skincare routine when exposed to UV light :)

Hey! How much sun exposure do you have? Where are you from?

From Indian Karnataka.... Mam.. Give me full solution... Mam plz..

@@manojhosmane6784 Wear a hat or cap to protect your skin and try to stay inside or in the shade as much as possible. In such a hot country, wearing sunscreen might just melt off your skin.

There is no "best" moisturizer. But CeraVe moisturizing cream could be an option.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thank u sooo much mam replying..I will try it..and share my experience

No, after your moisturizer, unless you are using a really thick moisturizer :)

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I am reading everywhere that if you have a chemical sunscreen that u need to put on sunscreen first then moisturizer

@@mariomario1462 Everywhere or just on one website ;) ? That website is talking about heavy mineral moisturizers, so if you use one with a lot of petrolatum, don't use it with your sunscreen; it just does not layer well. Or just tell me what moisturizer are you using?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I use cerave lotion moisturizer and I usually put on sunscreen last but now I'm confused. Would cerave work first?

Just put the lotion on first, then the sunscreen. The issue is if you apply a really thick moisturizer with petrolatum first, then your skin won't be able to absorb the chemicals in chemical sunscreens, as the thick moisturizer would partially block it.

How dry are the drier parts of your skin?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial no, it’s combination, oily in the t-zone and normal everywhere else

And what products are you using?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial currently I use klairs black seed oil for my double cleanse along with the inkey list salicylic acid face wash. In the mornings I use TO niacinamide and PC azelaic acid then follow up with a thick night time cetaphil moisturiser and then sunscreen. As for night I’m currently alternating between lactic acid and glycolic acid both from TO and then just the same cetaphil moisturiser after. I exfoliate most days but when I do have a break I use just the inkey list hylaronic acid and cetaphil moisturiser after cleansing. I’ve been using these products slowly incorporating each one since about January and they have helped a lot (the niacinamide and lactic acid mostly) but I still break out a lot and have a lot of redness (I’ve been using PC azelaic acid for a week now so hopefully this helps with it. Sorry I wrote so much!! 😭😭😭😭

@@rin5164 I think that you are using too many products. Do you double cleanse in the morning and evening? And do you use both cleansers? And why do you use 2 cleansers? Do you wear heavy makeup? Apart from that, I recommend reducing the frequency and not using the Cetaphil cream for your skin type. I recommend using a gentle fluid instead.

Yes :)

Yes, that's fine. Or use a heavier moisturizer.

What's your AM routine? What moisturizer and sunscreen do you use? Have you ever used a moisturizer that already contains SPF?

Thanks so much for replying! I also have rosacea so I can only use mineral sunscreen which I find drying unless I use the thick white pastey ones. I use hydrating and calming toner, serums, a small amount of snail gel cream or calming cica gel cream and 3 drops of facial oil and a ceramide moisturizer like carecera ap face & body cream which has petroleum. Without using facial oil or other gel creams I need more of the petroleum based moisturizer that's why I use them. Sunscreen I use pipette mineral, DRMTLGY physical spf 46 and Korean mineral sunscreen

Haven't considered moisturizer with spf bcos my skin just always feel better with moisturizer containing petroleum or heavy occulsive

@@veryluckybid There are great moisturizers with SPF. Have you ever looked into Amino Acid or Peptide-based products?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yes I use Peptide serums. Can you recommend some mineral sunscreen or moisturizer with spf for very dry skin? Also do you think the tapping method is appropriate for my situation?

No, sorry for the confusion it was specifically for people that only want to apply moisturizer and follow with sunscreen, and if there is a need to wait in between since this seems to be an issue for some people. There is no need to add moisturizer if you do not feel the need.

No, use it after.

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial oo thanks I have some doubt can i get ur number

No, not sure why people are always saying that 😏Maybe they confuse it with the Niacinamide powder, so it is in its pure form. If you use a serum, it is stabilised and can not affect it.

After-sun is typically used as a moisturizer that you apply to soothe or calm the skin after sun exposure. Is that what you're referring to? 🤔

It depends largely on the sunscreen you are using, but 30 minutes is too long. 10-15 minutes should be enough for chemical sunscreens; this ensures that the sunscreen has enough time to set.

You can't really apply too much sunscreen, but the amount of sunscreen you use can be slightly adjusted based on the texture of your sunscreen, yes.
