THIS VIDEO SAVED MY SKIN! For anybody who thinks they may have developed Perioral Dermatitis after using too many actives (in my case, Tretinoin from Skin and Me) this may help you. Note when my PD started I had changed NOTHING about my lifestyle, diet, nor my toothpaste, body wash, washing power or makeup/perfume etc. Absolutely nothing. Even after I stopped using the retinoid, it would flair up for no reason, then improve, then get worse again with no rhyme nor reason. The routine which finally saved my skin (noting I am in the UK) over a period of about 6 months from diagnosis to present: 1. Diagnosis - I got this via online consultation with Superdrug as my doctor was useless. DO NOT use steroid cream if this is prescribed to you, as it was for me initially, it will not help. Following the Superdrug consultation, I ordered Metronidazole gel (Rozex 0.75%) however after just a week or so of use my PD was so red, itchy and very dry which made it more obvious and uncomfortable, so I stopped. I tried to get oral antibiotics at this stage but was rejected on the basis that my PD was not severe enough. 2. I then decided to take more drastic action to rest my skin and chose not to use ANYTHING AT ALL on my skin. This included no moisturisers, no SPF, no toners, no make up (see below), no new products of any kind (household or body) and I avoided getting toothpaste around my mouth when brushing my teeth. I also asked my boyfriend to stop using any products on his own skin just in case and I didn’t go in the sun. 3. Makeup - I didn’t use any makeup on the skin affected by the PD. By this, I mean I didn’t use any foundation, concealer or anything on the PD itself around my nose and mouth, but I did wear eyebrow gel, pencil and mascara etc. to work/special events as long as it didn’t touch my PD. I wore no makeup at all as much as possible. Yes, this was difficult because I was self-conscious about my PD, but I really felt my skin needed time to heal on its own. 4. I only washed my face with COOL WATER - this included not getting my face wet in the shower (to avoid hot water and any chemicals from my shampoo/conditioner touching it etc.). To remove makeup from the upper part of my face I used a clean, lukewarm, microfibre face cloth, and didn’t rub my face too hard. I also used a separate clean face towel to pat dry and then let my face air dry. The aim was to touch my face as little as possible and avoid irritating it in any way. I also made sure to regularly change my pillow cases and bath towels. 5. Red light therapy mask - I got one from Amazon and used it every night before bed for 10 mins. This I believe has made a huge difference. 6. Metronidazole cream (Rozex 0.75%) - I ordered the cream after watching this video however Superdrug do not offer it as a treatment option. Instead, I ordered it online from Cloud Pharmacy using the fact I had an existing diagnosis. I applied the cream liberally twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening before bed (after using the red light mask). Unlike the gel, the cream gave me no problems nor dryness. I have been using the cream for nearly 8 weeks and intend to continue using it for another 4 weeks. My skin is almost back to how it was before the PD started and I am slowly starting to be able to wear more makeup, moisturisers and SPF etc. without flare ups. I still practice most of the steps above and try to rest my skin as much as possible.

I just got a x20 from Temu and it's fantastic for things like eyebrows etc. recommended! I paid very little so I don't know how long it will last, but has the 3 suction cups to stick it on windows and a telescopic base.

It's old video but I'm going to reply anyway. Do you think the Dafni heat brush would be suitable for synthetic wigs at all?

Hello, 49yrs for ever I put concealer on last - now I’m putting it on first

Exactly what I do! I can't afford to go to the salon as often as my white roots dictate! Love this video Nadine ❤

I love Clinique I have just recently gotten into the brand please do more Clinique reviews thanks for the video

I came back here to say what you need and what worked for me. The ordinary Azelaic acid and Rozex cream she has in the thumbnail. That combination will do wonders I promise.

I got here because I wanted a review on the Provenance range. Precisely that of Santorini Days and ATOG. I agree about ATOG I smell a spicy note like cloves which smells divine with oranges. I agree with the middle eastern type scent. I love both of them. SD happily met expectations with the Olive and citrus scent while ATOG exceeded expectations. So glad I bought the 100ml sizes. By far my cheapest fragrances but among my favorites

I think the reason why people use lip balm so often is because everything you eat or drink the lipbalm is getting of?

Hey Nadine. I'm keen to try RF on my face but have quite pronounced Melasma which I see is definitely triggered by heat for me. Do you know if there is a risk that the RF could make the Melasma worse?

I think it's amazing on you and if I could afford it, well I would have done it yesterday! I think it made a "worth it" difference.

Native, I've not had your videos for months & months. Why??? I miss your information so much. I've had to actively come looking for you. What is RU-vid up to??? Blessings, Sharon ❤❤

You don't let him speak.. when he is about to say something, you cut him. You should try to be better at listening.

Agree Nadine, Brazilian blow dry is the best thing ever invented

I think one of the reasons why it doesn't get better is that we dont know the triggers. Funnily enough i've had it for so long and searched so much I started to notice that it is very similar to others who have had it on their eyelids and said it's from gel nails / any other LED lamp manicures. So i stopped putting anything on my nails and the pharmacy said to try hayleve which is an antihistamine and that cleared up the redness pronto. I kept skincare at a minimum because antibiotics did 0 naught nada zilch to clear it up. Did two courses of 8 weeks over less than a year and it did not help. Helped with my acne but not with the PD. Then i realized they're kinda separate and i've just stopped the antihistamines 2 days ago and im even afraid to say but so far so good. Bear in mind i've not had anything on my nails for 3 months now. I will try the la roche posay toleriane(massive fan of roche posay) the only hesitation i got is over the price. 😢

Brilliant! Thank you so much for such an excellent video - I'm saving it to refer back to!

I was using oil on my face but then I read about the heat destroying collagen

Hi Nadine, I am a long-time fan of your channel and love your videos. As I trust your judgement greatly, I would like tocask about what is the best way to use Estee Laude's Advanced night repair serum? I am 40, normal skin type, typical first signs of ageing, and I use retinol at night. Can I pair it with the ANR serum as well? Looking forward to your opinion and many thanks in advance. Kindest regards, Lucy

Hi Nadine my eyes look dry and crepey nowadays. I don't think my LE serum has helped or their eye cream. So looking for something that makes them look smoother please😊.

Do you ever think they'll come out with a laser for redheads? I know there is none around at the moment

The lumea is amazing. Cannot remember the last time I had to shave my legs it’s that good. Used to have to do it so often.

Adapalene is stronger actually

Love you

Thank you. So much

Hi Nadine. I’m currently using the geek & gorgeous A-game 0.1% Retinal serum. Very purse friendly. I’m 50 now and use it every night have done for over a year and not seeing results anymore. Would this give me the boost I’m looking for? I still get hormonal breakouts and some chin congestion so combine with salicylic acid. Thanks 😊

So pleased this popped up on my feed❤ going to see doc in a couple of weeks and will ask for this combo. Brilliant and Thank you so much❤

The clean candle is my favorite! ❤

Hello I love watching you can recommend something for rosacea vocal capability skin thanks mary

I honestly disliked my Dyson hairdryer.

Can RF cause fat loss ?

I used those in the 90s

Hello everyone. My partner has recently had open heart surgery, and his scar is healing. Does anyone have any recommendations for a cream to help with the scar healing or to help with massaging the area? Thank you.

My Lumea got rid of leg & pit hair in 2014, it’s not come back. Fantastic gadget. The cats were scared of it though. I wish it was mains operated though as the internal battery didn’t last as well as the effects.

Appreciate Nadine, but when the video is an AD I think it means we miss out of a comparison of different products. E.g. I would love to see a review (unsponsored) of LED masks such as Current Body vs Omnilux

Jealous you look beautiful without makeup xxxx 🐈🐾🐾❤❤❤

I just wear wigs these days. I love it. So liberating!

is Current Body RF safe for skin that is prone to melasma?

Put the front roller in the opposite way tight, so that the hair is rolled back. When you take it out trust me, that kink will be less noticeable, and it will still flip to the side as you wish. Trust me I was doing it your way for years, and a hairdresser pointed out that was my error-and she was right. You both are so funny!!

Lumea (i have the cheapest one) has reduced my leg hair by90% after 1 season of regular use, i now only have to do the odd top up, and get away with shaving my legs every week or so instead of daily, totally worth the investment, wish I'd done it years ago

Avoid the Currentbody Radiofrequency device at all costs! I hate it, because it aged me by about a decade. It made my skin look plumper immediately afterwards, but after a few weeks of using it, I could see that it actually made my wrinkles look much more pronounced.

Nadine, have you ever used a different RF machine, before the Current Body one? Do you find this one better? Thanks for sharing your favourite gadgets x

Maybe not a gadget you use on yourself, but I got the makeup brush cleaner/dryer gadget after one of your videos, Nadine. It is amazing to be able to dry brushes that quickly 🤩

Interesting on the lumea because the app says you can wax/eplilate before treatment?

Thanks Nadine for sharing the devices.

Take the mask off while you're talking to us. It'd be nice to see your face

Could you, in theory, dye the white chin hair and then use ipl to remove it? Just curious

With her excitement and enthusiasm and excellent way of expressing herself, Nadine could sell snow to the Eskimos! ;)

I am just so happy that I came across your videos for perioral dermatitis! I have been dealing with a flare-up for at least six months now. The first time I got it was 2019. This time I went to a dermatologist. She told me in February that it is PD. I've always used hydrocortisone and now I know that is why my flare-ups last so long. But this doctor gave me prescription strength steroid! I have now stopped using that and requested the metronidazole cream. I feel like it's on the road to improvement now. Thank you so so so much for sharing what has worked for you ❤ it is helping

RF or ZIIP HALO?.. please help 😬

Unfortunately, the Current Body radio frequency device "not available for delivery in your area on the UK site, and simply isn't listed in the US. Maybe hasn't finished US testing? *sigh* Still this looks like a great device and I'll keep my eye open it. Thanks for talking about this!
