Aw, I'm happy your channel has grown so much! I remember when I was researching Vanicream and found your review and it was a baby channel. Now I'm watching videos on micellar water whilst putting off lesson planning for this week xD *also, “baby” as in just starting out!
Happy Friday Jose! :) I did already some videos on Korean Skincare products and I still have a few to do ( I will get more into this overtime). However, are you thinking about specific brands?
Fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤ Oil cleansing and I are totally incompatible, I always get blind cysts after using cleansing oil, even when I double cleanse and rinse off. Switched to micellar water, and boom!!!! Lovely results. ❤❤❤
Hello! Lastly I’ve been obsessed with watching your videos and I wanted to ask if my routine was fine: 1. CeraVe Foaming cleanser normal to oily skin 2. The ordinary peeling solution AHA 30% + BHA 2% (once a week at night) 3. Caudalie vinopure purifying toner 4. Revox just niacinamide 10% 5. Caudalie vinopue moisturising mattifying fluid 6. (Only am) th pharma facial photoprotection spf 50+ Thank you! 🥰
Aww you have such gorgeous skin Melissa! I use cerave SA smoothing cleanser. To help with little bumps on the skin. As I’m using Retinoid 2% at night, are these 2 products ok to use one after each other? So the Cerave SA cleanser followed by Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (TO)?
Your hair looks great! 🌸🌼🌸 I prefer to shake the bottle (of micellar water) to create bubbles and then push them out (by squeezing the bottle a little) to a sponge 🧽 Then I go everywhere on the skin (I usually just wear mascara and brow-shadow+gel in terms of makeup and spf of course and maybe a little setting powder). But I find it necessary to double cleanse or at least wash away the micellar water with regular tap water so I don’t still have the residue. I heard one person say it’s just fine to leave the micellar water on the skin, like, you’re good to go. But that’s risking irritation and/or breakouts, isn’t it? I saw that you rinsed the micellar water off, and that’s what I’ve been taught to do as well. What do you think? Is it without risks to leave the micellar water on the skin? Thank you for a very good video! 🙏 🌸💗🌸💗🌸
Hey! :) Thank you! I just got a new hair-straightener for my short hair and gel + spray😉 Yes, you can also use micellar water on a cloth or sponge. I used cotton pads as I think it’s quite common to use them when using micellar water. Personally, I have to rinse off my micellar water, I don't like the residue. Doesn't matter from what brand I'm using the micellar water. However, it's fine to not rinse it off, just make sure that your SPF and makeup is properly removed.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you for your answer! Yes, your hair always looks great! I love my sponges and my face cloths. I have a minor handicap in my left hand so I find anything like sponges, brushes or face/skincare brushes very helpful. Yeah, it’s the residue afterwards I’m thinking about. It’s not a very nice feeling. And I think it can cause both irritation and dryness as well as it can cause breakouts. It’s better to wash it off, just to be safe. Have a splendid weekend! 💫
Hi, I love your videos🥰 my evening routine is exactly like this (but I use a different micellar water) and I was wondering if I can use bye bye blackhead 30 days miracle right after this routine or not? and what about the cream after this and after bye bye blackhead? ❤️
Hey! :) Are you referring to this: How to use Some By Mi Bye Bye Blackhead 30 Days Miracle Green Tea Tox Bubble Cleanser: ua-cam.com/video/EFaXAY0EBDI/v-deo.html If so, yes. However, you may not be able to use that cleanser daily. Yes, it's fine to use a moisturiser afterwards :)
I absolutely HATE washing over the sink, but the issue is its hard to wash in the shower unless youre also washing your hair at the same time, and I'm a person who washes/wets my hair every other day. Also: Do you ever reapply toner/micellar water halfway through swiping it over your face if you feel like the cotton pad has run out of product?
Yes, me too. I prefer washing my face in the shower, mainly in the evening. When I'm not washing my hair with shampoo, I just 'wash' it with water so I can still properly wash my face, especially when removing sunscreen and makeup. Yes, I sometimes do this. I just change the side of the cotton pad or take a new one when I'm working with micellar water and if the cotton pad is already full with sunscreen or makeup.
So informative n exactly what i was looking for however just want to know if this method good for oily acne prone skin? Read somewhere that micellar water is bad for acne. Your take on this please? Ps. I want to do this to remove my waterproof sunscreen so is it okay? Can I do it especially if i never wear any makeup? Ps. Subscribed❤
Glad to hear that the video was helpful for you! 😊 Hmm, I have acne-prone skin, and I use micellar water mainly to remove my makeup (not so much sunscreen). I haven't experienced any problems; however, I still prefer to rinse off my micellar water, whether I use it on its own or do a double cleanse. I also use a microfiber/makeup removal washcloth, which works extremely well to take off sunscreen and/or makeup. So, I would say, either use micellar water or a washcloth ;)
ive been hearing about double cleansing and I thought it was only w an oil cleanser and turns out I've been double cleansing w micellar water aahaha - I use the garnier w rose water and then wash my face w the cerave hydrating cleanser in the shower works amazing
"Originally," I think, it was with an oil/balm cleanser, and it is usually done in Asian cultures, but double cleansing just refers to cleansing the face twice. But honestly, I also like to use Micellar water to remove most of it and use my La Roche Posay cleanser in the shower to do the rest works amazingly, yes! But it seems to be not as popular really do not know why 🤷♀️
Hi Melissa 😄 Thank you so much for your videos, question I always want to know what someone with your knowledge think about my issue. I started my day around 5:30 AM and by 4PM and ready to wash my face but is too early for my night skin care routine, what you recommend because I want to feel fresh and I don’t want to wait until 9 PM to wash my face Please help 🙏🙏
Hey! :) It's fine to wash your face earlier; that's what I meant with late afternoon or do it in the evening. Either one is fine. However, if you use Retinol, I recommend applying it just before going to bed as it is sensitive to sunlight.
Loving your videos! Wondering if you could pls give me your thoughts on my new routine for am & pm: 1️⃣micellar water 2️⃣ cerave foaming cleanser 3️⃣salicylic acid 2% - the ordinary 4️⃣alpha arbutin - the ordinary 5️⃣nicinamide - the ordinary 6️⃣hyaluronic acid - the ordinary 7️⃣moisturizer 8️⃣ spf - am only Does this sound OK? Only started a few days ago, have had some purging but not too much. No irritation or dry skin. Sometimes I get cystic acne. Would I be OK to add Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% on certain spots using my current skin routine? Thank you so much!! Love your vids. So informative 🙏🏼💗
Hey! :) Overall the routine looks good! However, you may want to split the routine into an AM and PM routine. Like so: AM: - Cleanser - Salicylic Acid - Niacinamide - Alpha Arbutin - (Optional) Moisturizer - SPF PM: - Micellar Water - Cleanser - Benzoyl Peroxide - Hyaluronic Acid - (Optional) Moisturizer What Salicylic Acid serum do you use? Also, what's your skin type?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial wow! Thank you for the reply. 🙏🏼 I have oily skin with breakouts about 1x a week 🙁 I get both cystic here and there and white heads. 😣
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I have 2. 1️⃣ revolution - 2% salicylic acid & fruit enzymes 2️⃣ the ordinary - salicylic acid 2% solution (the just rereleased one) Which should I use mostly? Thank you again!!!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I started about 4 days with the routine I outlined above then I tried the routine you mentioned 2 mornings and one night already (I’m in Australia and see your responses when I wake up 🙃). I was using Alpha Arbutin as step #2 in my routine because I have some hyperpigmentation and am skin of colour. Since acne is #1 concern, the second is pigmentation. I’ll try out using the revolution salicylic, but I do love the ordinary’s products.
i’ve heard people say that cleansing balms are better for getting makeup off. but i don’t wear any makeup, only s tinted mineral sunscreen so do you think i should get a micellar water or cleansing balm?
Overall this depends on your personal preference and what type of makeup you may be wearing. There is no right or wrong. When it comes to sunscreens; Chemical sunscreens are easier to remove therefore, you can remove them with Micellar Water or an Oil/Balm cleanser. Whereas mineral ones (at least the ones I have tried so far) are a bit trickier to remove. So, you're probably going with an Oil/Balm cleanser as they are stronger.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficialHoney what do I do my face still brings dirt even after cleaning with miscellaneous water, cleanser and when I use d water again it will still be dirty 😊
Newsubsriber lov ur content, iam at teenage 18 can i start use 2% salicylic acid serum,my skin is oily , and hyper pigmented , how long it will take to get my original skin tone back by using serum, or anyother option to achieve my older skin , acne free and even tone plz say mam
Hey! :) Look into a 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser or Serum or a 4%-5% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. This can help to improve active acne. As for your hyperpigmentation, look into Niacinamide, Vitamin C or Tranexamic Acid. Also, don't forget to use sunscreen during the day.
@@foxyking35 Yeah, I am not sure why they are telling this 🤷🏼 But it's best to start taking care of your skin from early on and help to prevent the condition as long as possible because later on, it has done too much damage to the skin and is even more difficult to heal, improve or maintain. But of course, do not use products if you do not need them and constantly adjust them to your current skin condition and needs! :) Maybe that's what some of them meant.
I have trouble with my sensitive skin and these are the products I listed for my AM and PM routine. But I'm not sure if this good.. 1. Cerave Micellar water 2. Cetaphil gentle cleanser(for all skin types) 3. The ordinary squalane skin cleanser 4. The ordinary unhydrous salicylic Acid 2% 5. Cetaphil Sunscreen SPf-50 (AM only!) Thank you!
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Combination skin.. I always get acne and blackheads all over my face and I don't know what products to use for it.. I also have sensitive skin so I really don't know what to use for my face. This is what I listed in hopes of getting rid of my textured skin haha.. Thank you!!
@@ZirahPastel i think you also need to incorporate a moisturizer in your routine. i recommend the Simple moisturizer since it’s perfect for sensitive combo skin.
How much acne do you get? Also, how do you know if you have sensitive skin? AM: - Cetaphil Cleanser - SPF PM: - Micellar Water and/or The Ordinary Cleanser - Salicylic Acid - (Optional) Moisturizer Do you experience dryness? If not, you do not necessarily need to use a moisturizer. What about stress, hormones or diet?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you:)) I only get mild acne if I don't use any strong products or any products with alcohol in them. And if I do my acne gets so much worse. That's how my sensitive skin works. I don't really stress that much.. And for the hormones I get really bad pimples all over my cheeks including my nose.. My diet is really mixed up but to be specific I'd always eat meat and Vegetables once every 2 days.. (Sorry about my grammar) Thank youuu again!
Hii! I think i am the only one who uses micellar water as a second cleanser.. I first wash my face with a washing gel and then clean it with micellar water in case some dirt is left on the face..so i was wondering if it is wrong if i not use the micellar water first and then wash gel.. Thank youu ❤
Hey! :) Well, this depends on your Micellar Water. Some companies say that you can use their Micellar Water after cleansing and use it 'like a toner' (which isn’t wrong), whereas others say to use it to remove makeup, etc...so it's the first step.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you so much for replying ❤ I am using garnier micellar water with rosewater but from what i read i think i am supposed to use it as a first step in my skin care routine. Thank you again for replying ❤
One last doubt sister finaly shall I buy bha clensers for my hyperpigmentation will it cure in 3months, or I should buy a exfoliating sleeping bha mask plz say people around me are confusing me
The issue with only patting product into the face is that you can not get the product around all the contours of your face as well as rubbing it around So I think a combo of rubbing and patting would be better
Yes, true. But I also do not fully understand each treatment and how large the affected area is where it is absorbed. So with some spot treatments, the area around is heavily influenced by it. So that may also be another point to consider. Still patting and rubbing, or as I now do, just rubbing/blending works well for me. In the beginning, I always had issues with layering The Ordinary serums, but that was because I used too much or did not remove the water drops from the skin surface, which becomes a mess with some of their serums ;)
Hi new subscriber I had a doubt, iam at 17 can I use bha clensers daily without sunscreen, and how long a bha cleanser take to even my skin, plz say a solution my sister , love from india
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial my goal is to achieve even skin tone in three months and acne free , my body colour is different than my face , bha clenasers are enough for exfoliating or I should use a proper separate exfoliater weekly once, i have oily and bumps all around my face
@@zaynmeenu2709 What kind of bumps? Acne, White or Blackheads? Using for example; The Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser, can be enough. However, you may also need to use a low strength Retinol or like Adapalene. Also, wearing sunscreen during daytime helps to reduce the tan of your face.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial sister I have black bumps all over my face, iam at 17 can I use serum or bha fash wash is enough , minimalist or inkey list what shall I use and how long it take to remove my tan
I haven't thought about that combination🤔 Do you do this often? Either way, yes this can work too!😊 In this video, I just shared the double cleansing method with Micellar Water and a Regular Cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Was just wondering, because I can never find a video that's starts with the cleansing balm and then the miceller water. I do this all the time and it works perfect also! ~Thanks for sharing your video!
Well, you can do that if you like. But only use it if you need it. This means that if you want to brighten your skin, for example, reduce the look of dark spots or other hyperpigmentation. Don't just use it because it is trendy ;) The Ordinary For Beginners: ua-cam.com/video/diaLVk_EsI4/v-deo.html

Is it ok to wash my face with only plain water after using micellar water and use cleanser after 1/2 hours of using micellar water ?
Yes, that's fine! :)
The issue with only patting product into the face is that you can not get the product around all the contours of your face as well as rubbing it around
So I think a combo of rubbing and patting would be better
Yes, true. But I also do not fully understand each treatment and how large the affected area is where it is absorbed. So with some spot treatments, the area around is heavily influenced by it. So that may also be another point to consider.
Still patting and rubbing, or as I now do, just rubbing/blending works well for me. In the beginning, I always had issues with layering The Ordinary serums, but that was because I used too much or did not remove the water drops from the skin surface, which becomes a mess with some of their serums ;)
Hi new subscriber I had a doubt, iam at 17 can I use bha clensers daily without sunscreen, and how long a bha cleanser take to even my skin, plz say a solution my sister , love from india
Hey! :)
What are your skin concerns?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial my goal is to achieve even skin tone in three months and acne free , my body colour is different than my face , bha clenasers are enough for exfoliating or I should use a proper separate exfoliater weekly once, i have oily and bumps all around my face
@@zaynmeenu2709 What kind of bumps? Acne, White or Blackheads?
Using for example; The Inkey List Salicylic Acid cleanser, can be enough. However, you may also need to use a low strength Retinol or like Adapalene.
Also, wearing sunscreen during daytime helps to reduce the tan of your face.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial sister I have black bumps all over my face, iam at 17 can I use serum or bha fash wash is enough , minimalist or inkey list what shall I use and how long it take to remove my tan
It's probably best to extract your white and backheads first and then maintain it with The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser.
Can I use Micellar water and gel cleanser
Yes, as demonstrated in the video ;)
cerave, la roche pasay, cetaphil Which of these three products is best for the skin?
Those brands have all great cleansers! :)
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Would you please tell me one of these? One of the biggest help
Do you like fragrance or not?
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Do not like too strong a smell. It doesn't matter if it smells normal
I'm looking for a very good product that does not contain ingredients that are harmful to the skin
Why can't I use a cleansing balm first? and then remove the cleansing balm with micellar water?
I haven't thought about that combination🤔 Do you do this often?
Either way, yes this can work too!😊
In this video, I just shared the double cleansing method with Micellar Water and a Regular Cleanser.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Was just wondering, because I can never find a video that's starts with the cleansing balm and then the miceller water. I do this all the time and it works perfect also! ~Thanks for sharing your video!
@@alissaruygrok7413 That's an interesting method! If it works for you, keep doing it like this :)
Can I just use the micellar water on the face without using any cotton pad?👀
How would you do that?
I mean, the cotton pad should help you remove makeup, sunscreen, oil, etc., which your hands won't do properly.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial yeah true I was sceptical that I might tug my skin a lot during the process so I was thinking of using it as oil cleanser
@@frootyily That's not a problem, unless you do this extremely aggressively.
@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial okay thank you so much ❤️
Iam at 17 shall I start using niacinamide low concentrations serum
Well, you can do that if you like. But only use it if you need it. This means that if you want to brighten your skin, for example, reduce the look of dark spots or other hyperpigmentation. Don't just use it because it is trendy ;)
