I appreciate you talking about other factors that affect your skin besides skincare. I've found reducing stress, cutting out dairy, and drinking more water has improved my skin more than anything I've used on my face.

The undereye chicken skin is definitely age related, though heavy eye creams can make it look worse. I definitely will try the La Prairie. I was using the La Mer Genaissance, but don't see enough benefit to buy a second jar.

I'm finally getting around to watching your Skincare playlist. It's now July 2020, the pandemic is happening, I've worked at home since March, but have been called back to the office this past month and a half, haven't worked out since March as well, cos pandemic. My skin is looking the worst it's ever been. Your saying controlling stress as one of the chief things to do to improve skin condition, is really resonating with me. and yes, your skin looks amaaaazing. thanks for sharing your experience and reviews. <3 your vids

Tatcha just came out with the Indigo Cream. It's for people with ultra sensitive skin and eczema. It's actually approved by the Eczema Association. You have such beautiful flawless skin! Thanks for sharing your secrets.

There is woman who has a youtube channel and she works at Neiman Marcus in Chicago. I think her name is Michelle. She said she has tried ALL of the Neck creams over the years and that the Chantecaille Neck Firming Cream performed the Best out of all the ones she has tried. I bought the Nano-Gold FACE Firming/Lifting Serum from Chantecaill becuase of her suggestion. I also bought the mens(I am a male) Sisley Anti-Age Global Revitalizer Serum. Both are great. And of course... the La Mer Soft cream.

Diet and environment plays a huge roll in skin health. I just discovered black mold in my basement and had it all torn out but my skin was horribly broken out. My skin has been clear ever since!

[iwonakazmierczak-mccarthy]

You are right on about the connection between diet, lifestyle and the skin... The skin will always tell the story of what is going on...

[notyourmothersmom]

So jealous of your sleep superpowers. I suffer from terrible insomnia and I know it has a huge impact on the look and health of my skin.

[blondesided]

Amazing tips, Michele. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Your skin is gorgeous and you don’t look your age. We are what we eat for sure. I get occasional eczema as well. For me the biggest culprit is citrus and tomatoes! Other non healthy culprits too but I love oranges, raw tomatoes, grapefruit and if I eat that more than once a week, I will break out on my elbows and knees. I agree about dry climate and dry skin. I am from Southern CA and moved to the PNW a couple of years ago and the humidity here made my skin drier! I guess my skin was accustomed to the desert. Great tips- big fan of your channel 💕

I love the face halo cleansing pads. The girls that started this brand live close by me in Western Australia. I’ve been using them differently lately; I apply my cleansing balm to loosen the makeup and then use the Face Halo to remove the balm, then I go in with a gel cleanser for my second cleanse and a muslin or microfiber cloth to wash it off. Chloe Morello also suggested washing your face halo with a bar of soap after use and it completely removes the makeup. So good for travel. I use one a 2-3 times, then throw it in the wash. I love Josh Rosebrook products - they smell amazing 💕 My favourite cleansing balms are the Colleen Rothschild and Sarah Chapman. Brands like Sisley, La Prairie and La Mer is so expensive in Australia. I love that the lady at the Sisley counter told you that you need a $410 cream. 😆 The Decorte product looks interesting but I’ve been using Osmosis serums and they’re really good.

Great video! I have been using face oils for a long time. The Sisley one was one of the first I tried. From te start I have used it before my moisturizers and think it is indeed the best way to use them. The cream helps sealing every product you used before that. Absolutely adore your channel. So glad I found it! X

[elisnovo]

Hi, Michelle, I’ m from Brasil and I always watch your videos. Your skincare routine contains excellent products!

[gloriamartinez]

Your skin is just gorgeous. I know sleep is a crucial part of great skin. I go to bed at 1am. Still my skin is not too bad. But I am going to try and change my rut. which have been the same for over 30 years. XO

I’ve discovered skincare in mid life moreso or taking it more seriously at least. My guru is first my derm doc but secondly Brianna Stanko who has channel of that name. She’s a esthetician who owns store working with a couple doctors. She’s mainly med spa products so hella expensive but man, they work really well. Ingredients and explanations by docs are very detailed. Includes recommendations for applications such as cocktailing products in palm then applying. I used to think every product needed it’s own special time, but no. People comment on my skin constantly and the credit goes to Brianna. Just my two cents.

[odokerurani]

The lizard skin under the eyes is very common. The skin around the eyes is thin, so the sebaceous gland are easy to be seen. It's definitly not caused by the eye cream, and there is no way to fix it.
Or you could have syringoma that can be treated with laser.

[patr]

La Mer, Sisley, Chantecaille, and Gorgio Armani have The Best skincare products in Department Stores. Some of the La Prarie seems to be overpriced and does not perform as well as other in a similiar price range.

[duinsophie]

Very curious to see the evidence for the Sisley Anti-aging cream. And how much do you need to actually protect your skin, if infact it does actually have protective properties. Like SPF, most people don't use nearly enough to get the protection that is stated on the bottle.

[figurista_blog]

Have you tried Glossier makeup? I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

[align.mental]

Can I just say that you’ve been hilarious lately. Like you have me literally LOL’ing.

[alisastanfield]

Great video!! I love the Josh Rosebrook spray, will have to get that cleanser. Got the Retrouve cleanser based on your recommendation the other week and it is wonderful. I have super dry skin and I didn't find it the least bit drying.
