Hi, my name is Dr Terry and I'm an Integrative Skin & Hormone Doctor. I love learning about the workings of the mind, body and emotions and how it reflects on our skin.
On my RU-vid channel, my mission is to share my knowledge, experience and insights on holistic skin health and hormonal balance in my 20 years as a practitioner and someone who has healed from troubled skin and imbalance hormones. As a woman who's been through her share of traumatic events, I would also like to share my story particularly recovering from burnout, self-discovery, self-reliance and self-love.
Expect videos on skin, hormones, anti-ageing and personal growth. I'm also experimenting on this platform, exploring things that bring me joy including reconnecting with my Chinese roots. Hope you will join me on this journey.
im 2 weeks off the pill and have developed 10 under the skin pimples in two days all around my jaw and chin, its so depressing. I hope its not too late for me to implement these tips
@@DrTerryLoong np. well keep doing whatever you’re doing because it’s working…. Quick question Are you going to make any more facial structure videos in the future? I found out about your channel couple of days ago through the high cheek bone video it was very helpful!
I’ve tried for 9 miserable years to try get rid of my acne, off the pill. I’ve finally given up and gone back on the pill this month. I did manage to reduce the acne and lost weight too, but the blemishes and scaring never go fully. The only issue, is going back on the pill, my face is now raging and full of new cystic acne, like month one of coming off the pill. And then read it can take 6 months for hormones to settle when going back on the pill 😢 I just feel lost, and just want my face back.
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling. I know it’s hard when our hormones do not play ball. If it helps, I recommend reading the book “Beyond the Pill” by Dr Jolene Brighten who coined the term “post birth control pill syndrome”. If there are specific questions that I can create a video to answer, let me know.
Everyone's body's built take a hormonal test, It will give you a better guy.On what's gonna work for you and try seeing a holistic doctor, after your results
You can add a salad or something simple like slices of raw carrots or peppers, a handful of spinach with your eggs. Flax seeds, chia seeds & nuts are also good sources.
I tried taking nac but it broke me out even more!! I am on the berberine and zinc but still getting a few breakouts everyday now my face looks like it is a dalmation now!!
Sorry to hear Cher cher. It definitely sucks when that happens. When supplements cause more breakouts, there may be other things going on. I will do a video to explain more.
water first then look up or down depending on if it floats or sinks and soon as it touches the liquid swallow hard to make sure it won't touch the sides; that's what works for me :)
Great video! I was searching for videos on this, because i just got my 1st micro-roller. I will be trying it tonight! Would it be ok to use my gua sha after microneedling?
That’s great to hear. I would not do the gua sha on the same day as it’s too much stimulation on the skin. I personally do my gua sha either a day or 2 after my microneedling to help with blood flow and recovery.
Hi Dr. Terry, I have hormonal acne and I’m going to use the aloe cleanser you recommended but I’m wondering is it okay to use straight honey or vegetable glycerin as a moisturizer?
Hi Lexy, I would avoid them. honey is sweet so can potentially feed bacteria. The vegetable glycerin may clog the pores and prevent the skin from breathing.
i knew i was struggling with nutrient deficiencies, gut issues , and hormonal imbalance and i had been dealing with it! so the sugar imbalance makes sense as to why im STILL breaking out. that has been so frustrating but this video was very helpful! 💛
That's great to hear you've been working on so many of the internal factors. They all accumulatively support each other so you're moving in the right direction.
