10 Skincare Myths DEBUNKED! | Dr. Shereene Idriss 

Can we appreciate how smart it was that she has provided sunscreen for the people who visits her office or clinic.

The "Everything Is A Chemical" is giving me life.

When she said she’s working on a skincare line I really screamed a bit 😱

This is how I start my weekend, my cup of coffee and watching Dr. Idriss. Can't wait to see a tour of your practice once is completed.

Some of the worst sunburn can be in the winter …..especially when we have snow! People skiing can get 2nd degree burns if they don’t use sunscreen as the suns so intense on the snow! I Definitely use sunscreen in winter!

I LOVE the neon sign! My favourite myth is ‘You need to switch up your products because your skin/hair gets used to them and so they stop working’ 😂

"there's a difference between wanting and needing" a life long lesson.

1:18 not washing your face causes acne 2:30 you need to exfoliate daily 3:40 natural is better 5:22 eye creams don't do anything 6:40 you don't need retinoids until your 30-40-50s 7:50 you don't need sunscreen in the fall or winter 8:32 you will age faster if you wear makeup 9:14 if it burns, it means it's working 10:02 hyaluronic acid is the best hydrating ingredient 10:44 steaming your face will open your pores

Your energy in this video reflects the joy you are clearly feeling about your new clinic journey! Go you!

I've always wanted to be a doctor, but after finding your videos almost a year ago, I could finally decide which specialization I want to choose: dermatology. Thanks doctor for blessing us with your energy, time and advices. *virtual hug*

Great environment for you to offer your patients and you to work. These 10 myths were so important to debunk. I especially appreciated your mention of frequent washing of pillowcases. My lovely daughter had horrific acne. One of the common sense suggestions that her derm suggested along the long road of treatment was to wash her pillowcases in hot water with mild detergent, no fabric softeners nor dryer sheets EVERY day. This was easy to do compared to all of the elements to reach some clearing of her beautiful face, back and chest. This did help diminish some of her surface oiliness. With the help of hormonal intervention and gentle cleansing, now at 30 she has a glowing complexion with very little scaring. She is a 365 day a year 50+ SPF user too. People who have acne receive a lot of disparaging comments when they need compassion. Thank you for all that you offer your viewers and congratulations on your new offices. Brava!

Love your no “BS” approach! You give facts and helpful advice. Keep it up!

I love how passionate you are in your videos, and thanks so much for explaining everything clearly ☺

Love the neon sign and your offices look beautiful! Plus, a big thanks for taking the time to give us a video today!

Thank you for showing up for all of us nerds! I love your approach to practical fact based information! Keep posting and thanks for being so amazing!😁

I'm loving this back and forth @ between Andreea Ali and you! You're 2 of my favorite people on YT so it makes my heart happy =) Thank you for addressing the exfoliation myth! Brands will advise on the product to use EVERY DAY only to sell the calming and soothing cream to cure the problem they created in the first place... I hate it. Can't wait for your skincare line! Hope I can afford it :D

So excited for your own line!!! Such an inspiration ❤️❤️

"Wear the damn sunscreen!" Love it💖 Congratulations on your very own practice. I am a fan from sunny Florida. I can attest that the sun is still out in fall and winter. Lol

Can't wait for your tour! I'm so glad to see you so happy about your practice! Good luck and thank you for this 💟

Just thank you, thank you, thank you! I am 71 and will never quit wanting to have the best skin that i can! Grew up in the beach and have been paying for it ever since. I am so grateful for all of your honest advice! Also looking forward to your skincare line!

My absolute fav “wear the damn sunscreen” in neon 🙌🏽 LOVEE how your personality and humour peaks through in your clinic! You’re actually the best!

I love how real, honest and funny you are!! I might have stayed in NY had I found you sooner!! I moved to Maine about 2.5 years ago and the one Dermatologist I found retired!!!

Congratulations on your new practice and your new line! You deserve it and I’m so proud of you! 💕

So exciting about your new practice 🤩 happy for you!

I look forward to your video every week. Also, thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge for free. Excited to see your skincare line!

Love you Dr. Idriss! I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend every time I watch your videos. Your candor, sweetness and grounded attitude are so refreshing. Have a great day!

Congrats on your new office! Thanks for taking time out of your super hectic schedule to always teach us things🥰.

From Madrid (Spain) here. My Sunday first morning indulgence is watching Dr. Shereene videos :) I love them, love her, the way she explains things and I have learnt so much. I have had bad experience with Vitamin C before and thanks to her I have included it back in my morning routine again, I have also ditched the HA for food which I had been using for years, I have fallen in love back with the good old vaseline, I also look for glycerine high up in the ingredients list now and I have been reassured that I have been doing some things right for my skin for a long time, so thank you so much Dr. Shereene, we love you!!!

Ok! That sunscreen sign & dispenser?! 😍👏 Absolutely love it! Thanks for this video and also the link to your fave products 🙌

The sunscreens touch in the clinic 👍🏻 Shereene, could you please please make a video for those who already used too many acids and dehydrated their skin? We need you to save us 🙏🏻

That neon sign and the sunscreen dispensers (and their labels!) are everything. Congrats on your new practice! 💥

I‘m sooo excited to hear that you are working on creating a skincare line❤️ Pls do something for combination skin (both types)

Oh my that olive tree and the note with sunscreens !!! Amazing! The office is looking super hot 🔥!

You absolutely ROCK, as your personality and explanations regarding skincare are unparalleled! And despite being 53-years-old, I must confess I let out a childlike yell when you mentioned working on a skincare line! Wooohooo!!! I can’t wait!!! 🎉🎉🎉

It has been a hobby to watch at least one of your videos every sunday after my sunday runs and just lounging around. Thank you dr. I've learned so much from you. 😄

You’re amazing! Thank you for speaking truth and giving such amazing advice! You are a breath of fresh air.

Omg, I love the tree, the neon sign and the sunscreen dispenser! Thanks for the info, too! New subscriber here.

I love the architecture of the room you were in. More specifically the curved wall edge and floor molding. As always you are so expressive and enjoyable to listen to. Stay that way always.

We love you 💗 and you inspire us every day. Thank you for everything you do and help us with our skin care, also being yourself and full of humor.

That neon sign with the sunscreen dispensers are hilarious and so you! I wish I lived closer to NYC because you are such a compassionate derm. ❤

This 57 year old lady just discovered you . I have been learning how to take better care of my neglected skin. You are a great resource! Thank you!

Hey doc! I just wanted to let you know that you and other awesome dermatologists have inspired me into pursuing this career. I just got admitted in medical school!♥️ thanks for being such an inspiration

No BS and straight to the point kind of doctor. That’s why I ❤️ your contents.

Omg. Love the sunscreen sign and the fact you placed it at the door. I need me one of those pumps please. Loved this. 🥰

Someday, very soon, I will have a consultation with Dr. Shereene!! Thank you for another wonderful video ♡

The sunscreen idea is so innovative! Love it!

If I would live in NY, I would definitely come to your office. You are my absolute n° 1 in skin healthcare advice. I really love your videos but also your personality. But I live in France, so I can only take "cures" by watching your videos.

Congratulations on your beautiful new practice!! Thank you so much for doing what you do and being so good at it!

What a cool dermatologist! Wish I lived closer to be your patient. You’re honest and informative. Keep up the great work!

Dr.Idriss has changed my shin care routine for the better! Almost all my products I use now have glycerin, and I try to stay away from hyaluronic acid too now., although it's in almost everything ..thank you Dr. Idriss!

Thanks for the video! I am so glad I have come across your channel! Fell in your charismatic personality, your explanations and just your energy!

Yes I've been waiting for this video all day lol! Congratulations on all your success. Can't wait for the tour of your practice. Now to watch your video....

I feel like I've learned sooo much from your videos Dr. Idriss!! Thanks for making these

love seeing your new office! wear the damn sunscreen in neon is amazing.

I would love a video on your take on ceramides. Any long term studies on the effect of using products containing it daily? Love your videos!

Hi, I would love to see more videos about make up and skin care. So many dermatologists give conflicting advice about make up in general and in terms of SPF. I have heard really popular dermatologists say not to wear any make up whatsoever and if you do that you cannot reapply SPF properly. There is so much conflicting advice about how to reapply SPF over make up and that it is compromised by wearing make up to begin with. I really like make up but because of the SPF and make up fear mongering that goes on I don’t wear it daily anymore. I would love to know your method of SPF protection when wearing make up because nowadays I only wear make up at night to avoid having to reapply sunscreen over it. I feel like I am always caught in the dilemma of reapplying sunscreen every few hours to protect my skin and keeping it young but also not being able to wear make up if I want to. It’s a catch 22 feeling of have beautiful young skin and not being able to enjoy make up during the day or wearing makeup but not getting the same spf coverage and “unnecessary” skin aging. Sometimes I think about just reapplying sunscreen a couple of times a day and then wearing make up but then considering getting lasers/treatments down the line as I age? I’m familiar with some methods of reapplying sunscreen over make up but if you are a real make up connoisseur it’s just not feasible to rub layers of SPF over your eyebrows or eyeshadow or contour. I’ve heard about reapplying mineral powder sunscreen and using sprays but that it’s not the same protection coverage. By the way thank you for all the advice you give in your videos. 💗

This just made my day! Thank you so much

That was such a wonderful video of debunking myths especially because it was in your new practice!! Congratulations, Dr. Idriss!! I love the sign, wear the damn sunscreen! So awesome. I'm so happy for you especially from hearing your story.

Would love a video on skin program and products for women 60plus - Love your incredible, straightforward videos - THank-you!

I love the chapter features! Thanks for posting!!!!

Dr. Idriss.. Yay for your skincare line. Can't wait !! Please can we get a deep Hydrating mask?! 🙏🏽

Hi from Aus 🇦🇺 Dr Shereene. Thank you for this awesome channel. 🙏✨

LOVE your videos--always THE BEST information. Thank you!

You are soo flipping charismatic and competent God bless ya, I want to be just like you once I come into my own in my field!

Your own skincare line would be something I'm getting for sure.I think you are brilliant but also ao funny and real. Nothing phony about you and you crack me up on instagram

Congratulations for the clinic , you are such a great person I wish you all the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great information! Love your energy!

Dr Idriss true princess, I love your earrings. Congratulations for your new practice space. You are amazing doctor, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

Omg I’m obsessed with your neon light and dispensers with puns 🤍🤍🤍 I wish you were my derm

Yessss....THANK YOU for saying that about 'natural' products! I feel like there is so much fear mongering going on that if we use something unnatural/synthetic/etc...it's BAD and BAD things will happen lol! I don't mind some more natural products here and there..but I feel like having a combination of both is just fine! Great video :)

Just wanted to say "Hi" from Germany👋! Since I am watching your videos I totally changed my skincare routine because you taught me so much through your videos! Thanks for that! Btw I am excited for you opening your own office 🎉!

6:49 😩😭 i am so thankful you brought this up, people shade or drag people like me using retinoid as a 20yo bcoz they only focus on tret being anti aging but forget the real deal that it is actually used for acne 🤧 and it irritates me and makes me so mad that ppl feel they r entitled and think they own retinoids or something

Very impressed with that idea of free sunscreen!!!

When you said at the beginning of the video drop a”Hello” in the comment if you don’t have any comment, I was going to, but towards the end I realized I have something to say: I am sad whener you say finally!! I can’t get enough of your videos, in fact I learned so many things from you and my skincare works better and it is so minimal than ever

Love listening to you on here and IG! Please do a video on facial eczema. I’ve had it my whole life. Itchy and flaky skin on your face is the worst! Would live your thoughts on cleansing products, moisturizer and MAKE UP!

your office is a dream 🤩 i love the sunscreen dispensers! 😍

So excited that you're in your office! Genuinely happy for you. And I LOVE the sunscreen dispensers. What a great idea! Could you do a video on lip care? They get so dry in winter and I don't know what products to use apart from vaseline.

Love your, down to Earth, Debunking ! The new Office/Surgery is looking Great...

I can’t wait for your brand. It will sell out it minutes. Just wait. I’m so excited❤️❤️

love your content and to listen to you. have a good blessing in the new office 🥰

Hello Doc. I'm writing you from Italy and i just want to tell you that you changed my skin!! Thank you sooooo much! 😍

Girl, I have been spreading the word on HA since last video of your I watched. U r the best

Fantastic video as always and what an amazing idea to provide your patients with sunscreen! I wish I'll be able to meet you one day and have a dermatology talk ! Tons of love from an Greek based Esthetician 😍

Hope you can discuss about hypopigmentation. It is not as popular skin issue as hyperpigmentation but there are people who are constantly experiencing this. Thanks

Love you !!!! Thanks so much can’t wait for your skincare line

Congratulations from Ireland on your new practice, well deserved x

Thank you Dr Sheree for educating us ❤️

OMG I love the idea of the sunscreen pump!

YAAAAAAAY ANOTHER VIDEO! Now let's take notes, fellow students! 📚

This is so useful thank you dear Shereene (love this name btw !) excellent , you make me feel better automatically.

Can I just say omg I love watching your videos, such passion ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love your sunscreen labels they are fun and educational!!! Everything is a chemical yassssss

I finally, after obsessing over your videos, started to take care of my skin. Just found out I’m pregnant and stoped with fear of things not being good for baby. Can we PLEASE have an updated safe for pregnancy skin care video 🙏 wishing you much success with your skincare line 🎉🥳

Thank you, I love your information. I can’t wait to hear more about your skincare.

I appreciate learning that I don’t have to use exfoliating acids so often! Heard it all before from derms to exfoliate about twice per week, but there were once/twice a week exfoliating treatments/masks and daily exfoliants. I didn’t believe the weaker ones formulated for daily use would deliver results without frequent use. I could stretch a bottle of my pricey fave to a year if I stopped doing a daily pump, and give my skin more room for other actives

Hi, Thanks for stretching out your time for us! For the next video request: One of the things I struggle with is when I go shopping, the shelves are so overrun with this wide array of skincare products - many that almost seem filled with novelty-like ingredients promoted as needed and it's an imitating when you aren't a dermatologist. What ingredients actually make an overall impact on the skin? What actually delivers great benefits? I am so lost. For example, I know about retinol....but what about the combination of retinol + hyaluronic acid all in one? Does that actually better the result of either ingredient? And what about "the novelty ingredients" such as "rosewater" and "willowherb." Those promising a "tingling sensation"?

Dear Dr Idriss, I have been following you for quite some time now, my skin is acne prone, I believe is hormonal..would you do a video on what are your most recommended products for this type of skin? I’m 25, and I have been trying all sorts of products through the years but feels like I still haven’t found the perfect products that help my skin. Thank you! All the best and thank you for your videos! X

I almost snort laughed at the term “city juice”, lol. I love this video so much!

Dr. Shereen! That is YOUR COLOR! you look STUNNING habebty and ofc, thank you for the info always

Thank you so much for making these videos!
