    MORNING:
    1) Cleanse. If I’m not going to be wearing makeup, I wash with water! I NEVER put my face under the shower, that water is way too hot for your face - I love a steaming shower! My skin does be drier if I over wash it, and as I’ve usually layered moisturising products from the night before I only ever really need a splash of water to clean off the leftover creams from the night before. I don’t like to get rid of all the natural oils so a bit of water is sufficient to get rid of impurities that settle on my face. If I am wearing makeup and I want it to settle right I’ll use a non-foaming cleanser like the one shown in the video!
    2) Toner/chemical exfoliant! I use an alcohol free nourishing/hydrating toner with glycolic acid :)
    3) Watery essence (optional)
    4) Serum! Hylaronic, which exists naturally in all living creatures, as I’m getting microneedling for scars...will elaborate in my November monthly vlog! Hylaronic can hold 1000 times its weight in water. Assists skin in preventing all moisture from leaving the skin!
    5) Facial massage!
    -Video mentioned of cute older lady: • Facial massage | home ...
    -I often now use a cold face massager which tackles puffiness, only do it after serum or oil has been applied so it can slip easily along the contours of your face! Makes me look less tired and is very relaxing!
    6) Eye cream! Skin around eyes is very sensitive and I have no wrinkles around my eyes yet as I’ve been keeping the skin there nourished for YEARS.
    7) Moisturiser/sunscreen - broad spectrum…UVA, UVB and computer light ideally! If there is enough light to stimulate the retina, there's enough light to impact the elastin in the skin/enough to lead to sun-induced premature ageing, wrinkles and an increased risk of cancer such as malignant melanoma and basal carcinoma. So it’s not just day light, it’s light that damages the skin. Wherever there's light and you can see where you are going, the skin needs sunscreen!
    DURING THE DAY:
    Facial sprays/mists! LOVE them!
    NIGHT:
    1) Double cleanse (micellar to remove makeup then oil or cream cleanser) - small amount, warm between palms, gently press onto skin, breath in the beautiful essential oils - so comforting, safe for eye area, massage into skin…full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, add a little water which turns it into a milk! Then use a cloth. Leaves skin feeling moisturised!
    2) Toner - again!
    3) Essence, again, optional!
    4) Night oil (if using retinol then I won’t bother with the other steps, but I only use it about twice a week as it’s expensive!)
    5) Masks like sheet masks - which I use about once or twice a month! I use other types of masks maybe once a week :)
    6) Eye cream, again!
    7) Moisturiser or, my fave: a sleep mask!
    If we get 10,000 thumbs ups I'll film an ASMR style skincare in action video! :)

    Disclaimers! 1) everyone's skin is different! Mine is dry acne prone when I don't look after it and combination healthy when I do! 2) I'm no dermatologist this is just what has worked for me! 3) I really don't care if you're all about ageing naturally, etc. Good for you! I'm happy for you! But plz don't jump up my ass shouting about how I'm 'caving to advertising/the patriarchy' lol. Nobody comes at me when I talk about wearing a denture or dying my greys but ever since I mentioned 'anti-ageing skincare' a RAKE of people have climbed out of the woodwork to damn me to hell for it, lol. I enjoy skincare, end of. I feel like-seeing as we as humans choose NOT to sh*t outside, leave sweat under our armpits, let our hair grow down to our feet and whatnot, there's nothing wrong with wanting to freeze time *a little* via products, just as people have done for literally THOUSANDS OF YEARS with honey etc...obviously, we're ALL going to age one day! :) BUT STILL. I love a well-preserved human face, I'd like one. Obviously don't rely on your looks. There are far more important things in life and anyone who follows me knows that all I really care about is the people in my life. Though, I'm into self care, in all its forms, and if people can upload UA-cam videos about 'how to clean a toilet' I feel like I should be able to indulge in a big passion of mine on my very own UA-cam channel. ;) Also, over the course of a year I spend less on skincare than what many spend on shite like fillers, alcohol, clothes, their cars etc etc...let a girl have her thing 😂💋

    Very Important! Hyaluronic Acid needs to be applied to a damp face- it draws water into its self, if there’s no water to draw from the surface, or the environment then it will take it (water molecules) from the deeper layers of the skin and dry out/ damage your moisture barrier.

    • @melaniemurphyofficial
      @melaniemurphyofficial  4 роки тому +5

      PureLexery I always follow instructions on the item/guidance from Caroline Hirons website when it comes to skincare order - she never says to use it on a wet face and I trust her! On HA she says “Hyaluronic Acid is present in our skin, but sadly our ability to both produce it and hold on to it decreases as we age. Its function in the skin however, isn’t to simply ‘moisturise’. It’s much more important than that. HA is probably the single most multi-tasking ingredient we use in skincare. Although it does hydrate by holding moisture on the skin, it also works as an antioxidant, prevents loss of elasticity, stimulates collagen and plumps the appearance of the skin. Crucial at this time of year, it is also anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, key for those of you that suffer from broken skin conditions whether from spots, acne, eczema, rosacea or perioral dermatitis.” So it seems to be more about preventing moisture from leaving the skin? By this point too mind I’ve used a watery essence! Xxx

      a lot of times you use new products or strong ones, it's not that you're breaking out, your skin is purging. It means that the product is working and pulling out the pimples that were going to happen anyway. Sometimes it has to look worse first to get better!

    Sis you don’t look like the usual 30 year olds I see. And it’s not just your looks it’s your aura and charisma!
    Edited: to explain to people that yes, I know she’s 30, but bc I live in a very poor area seeing 30 yr olds who look this good is very rare. The 30 yr olds(/around) I see regularly don’t take care of themselves because of socio-economic factors. It’s refreshing to see someone this healthy at just 30 (still so young) look this way and not stressed/bag under their eyes/sleepy/overworked at minimum wage jobs.
    (I know so much explaining for just a comment) Cheers 😁🌷

      @ninawood2879 4 роки тому +8

      MB well maybe I should’ve worded it better for some: *She doesn’t look 30 compared to the other 30 year olds I see regularly* you’re right but I live in a very poor area/secluded area where in 2019 there are still young women working a hard minimum wage and not taking care of themselves because of the culture here and economic suffering- so seeing women who don’t have dark bags under their eyes and smiling brightly, sadly isn’t what I see regularly. And it’s refreshing to know that if you do take care of yourself you can be healthy looking inside & out.
      So I know what all ages look like but someone looking this refreshed and supple is ‘unfortunately’ not usual to me.

My skin has improved dramatically in just 6 months! People are starting to ask me what I do to my skin lol, that never happened before.
    My favourite thing is definitely double cleansing at night. It's just so effective at cleaning your skin and taking your makeup off while being super gentle

      Umer Sheikh since it has the potential to clog pores I wouldn’t (but it does work for some people). Instead just look up noncomedogenic oils and use those (I think argan and safflower oil are non clogging) I personally use almond oil which is said to may have a slight chance of clogging pores but I haven’t had any issues. Then again my skin’s not very sensitive

  • @halhar
    @halhar 4 роки тому +36

    i think almost everyone could benefit from this kind of skincare routine. as someone who deals with dry, sensitive, and acne prone skin, when i try going in with an abrasive and harsh approach it just fuels the inflammation. its so easy to get carried away trying to dry and scrub away imperfections, but honestly it's done more harm than good, at least for me. once i started looking at it differently and coming in with a gentler, more calm and patient, nurturing viewpoint that's when my skin makes the most improvements. it's still a struggle as when i see spots come up i wanna jump on them, but overall thinking "gentle, nurturing, hydration" when dealing with skin is the way to go. feels like some potent self-love/self-care. i noticed also when i am my skin/scars/etc heals so much quicker as well. just overall better and healthier complexion.

  • @Ceci-db8kh
    @Ceci-db8kh 4 роки тому +5

    my routine always changes cos I get lazy but one thing that has definitely improved my combo-oily skin in these last few years is oil cleasing. It melted the blackheads I used to have and I never went back. Also switching to less harsh ingredients helped a lot. I actually didn't know my skin was sensitive when I first started trying a skincare routine, I thought the burning meant that the product was working... but I was pretty young and there wasn't a lot of good affordable products, and a desperate teen tries everything they can afford. Sad part is that I actually damaged my skin a bit, in the process. That's why I'm glad these kinds of info have gotten popular on the recent years. I also learned a lot from kr beauty and I'm glad it's more accessible now.

    I'm 33 and take very little care of my skin apart from moisturiser and even that not every day. I'm lucky I've never really suffered with bad acne, which I think has made me complacent but my family show signs of aging early.
    Up until now I've found it really confusing but this and your other skin care video have really helped.
    I've bought myself the pixi toner and a serum to start and I'm sure I'll add as time goes on.
    The serum I chose has the most disgusting fake orange smell so I can't wait to use it up. I will happily pay more for a scent free one now I've suffered with this smell!!

I have started off small using a cleansing milk and the Emma Hardie cleansing balm and focusing on moisturising (and drinking lots of water) and the difference in my skin is incredible. The acne has cleared and this month I’ve had nothing but a couple of hormonal pimples. I had given up hope of ever finding a routine that worked for my skin.

    Hi Melanie! I'm actually 32 and we look very similar. I've become a skincare/anti-aging "nerd" as well and I have some extremely important advice... fragrance and essential oils will not only irritate your skin on a cellular level but they will AGE your skin. Citrus oils become phototoxic when exposed to UV light. This means that they create free radicals. I tell you this because I wish someone would have informed me too!

    I am a 17 year old guy who is really passionate about skincare! Most guys my age really overlook the importance of a skincare routine in order to keep the face healthy and spot free. I have dry skin with a slightly oilier T Zone and I've started to cut out harsh exfoliants and stripping cleansers. The cleanser that I've been using lately is Ultrabland from Lush, it is a cream cleanser with lots of organic and luxurious oils to keep the skin from feeling dry after use. I occasionally will use Rituals fine exfoliant as it helps to eliminate excess sebum and dead skin cells without damaging the skin. I use the mega-mushroom toner from Origins which has a relaxing essence and is really good for redness and rosacea along with calming problem areas. Lastly I use the Liz Earle light moisturiser because it is not pore clogging and it really sinks into the skin. I hope this helped some people and I will have a skincare 101 video coming on my channel soon!
    Btw Skincare Melanie is my favourite Melanie 💚

    I think the balance between putting energy into beauty products and just being yourself is such a difficult balance to get right, but once you do find your happy medium, the feeling is great! There's no "one size fits all" and I'd just like to emphasise to everyone reading this, especially younger viewers, that you do NOT have to spend money on things to feel beautiful. I promise. Our society pushes so many beauty products and anti aging related products and high expectations onto women, but the reality is aging gracefully isn't a bad thing and you are not just the subject to men's desire. Beauty products are harmless... the expectations and self image that comes with them can be for many people. Melanie understands this so well. Love this channel.

      The instagram beauty skincare routines you see, especially, I think are so misinformed and damaging. I hate instagram in general but the whole beauty trend on there is insane. It's too much. If it's just for fun, great! But if you think you NEED all those products to have normal skin, you absolutely do not (a lot of them are even damaging to your skin, like st Ives or anything with those lil micro ball things or citrus juices which cause acne long term). Be careful not to be influenced towards something that's damaging to your physical or mental health long term my lovelies, it's so easily done.

      S Kael i was starting to look very aged when I was 26 (relationship issues, no sleep, kids). Then I Put myself first, got a good skin care going, spf, silicone patches, dermarolling (mostly this). Now people think I’m young 20s (turned 30 this year). It won’t take long for you to take a few years off since you’re still young. Plus, you might just be hard on yourself

    I'm trying to swap to a more gentle and moisturising skin care routine to help my acne pigmentation but I can never find a good moisturiser or spf that doesn't break me out or give me blackheads unless I have loads of anti-acne treatments I layer before..which in turn dries out my skin, I can't win! I hope I get to the place you're in with my skin soon, your skin is so amazing..I just stare at the glow in videos 😄

    I know you said about microneedling treatment for acne scars, have you tried the Liz Earle cica paste? I’ve only been using it for a week and I’m already seeing a difference! Definitely helps with moisture and any pigmentation too! Definitely worth a shot! I’m a huge fan of Liz Earle and swear by the stuff - skincare is like a little ritual for me. I’m washing the day off, I take time to get into a good headspace and it’s the best way to start the day!
    I love your videos, and these habits chats are some of my favs! Hope you have a lovely day!

    I adore your skincare videos, can never get enough! I would be so interested ina video about your transition from acne focused skincare to anti-ageing as this is the point I am at too and I am at a complete loss on how to move to more moisturising regimes after years of trying desperately to avoid an oily face! Is this something you changed to overnight or did you transition products one at a time?

  • @KatKat-hj5bf

    Hi, just a tip for anyone who washes there face but suffers from dry skin. As soon as you put water on your face it draws the moisture out of it straight away. If I wash my face I always add some food/cosmetic grade glycerin. It acts as a humectant just like the hyaluronic acid which I also apply (to a damp face)
    It’s really helped with my dry skin. And it’s cheap!
    Also if anyone has been looking for an amazing face spf.. that doesn’t leave a strange white cast/shine or break you out try Evy spf 30 or 50 it’s a mousse formula, it absorbs so quickly into the skin. I’m 35 and have tried so many spfs this is by far the best I’ve found. Obviously everyone’s skin is different, just thought I’d share 😊

    I love this! I've done routines like this a lot and for a long time. I'll definitely look up some of the products and brands you've mentioned because I've seen you talk about some a lot in the past.
    I started doing skincare when i hit 20 and that kiehl's midnight recovery concentrate has been apart of it since the beginning. I've tried using different amounts, application methods and before or after other products and I find that it's best as a last last step after moisturiser. Particularly because the night time moisturiser I use has a few good actives I want to work more efficiently without large oil particles blocking the good stuff. However I'm finding now that the oil isn't really making my skin any better but rather it's maintaining all it can offer for my skin. I'm not mad at it and I still recommend everyone to try it or something like it but I'm missing the giddy feeling of seeing a product I love work wonders on my skin
