Hello , it would be better for your eyes especially for the eyelids to wash from outside to the nose. Another aspect: stay a little while on your lashes ( best with warm towel) and massage: dry eye will become better! and most important: thank you for the great information about products and the ingredients 😊
Let me tell you since you’ve done this video I no longer despise washing my face ! This is how my Mom washed her face. Now I love washing my face !! No more water all over me or the vanity like who wants to get drenched before bed right ? 🤷♀️ this is fantastic!!! Sending this also to my children to save on their bathroom messes. Thank YOU 😊
I was diagnosed with Type II Rosacea about 15 years ago. It took me several years to realize that my foaming cleanser was killing my skin. Now, I know that two things will cause a flare up - not washing my face before bed and/or using a detergent-based cleanser. Purity is pretty much the only thing that soothes my skin back to normal (Rosacea Normal, of course) after a flare up. And, as you say, I don't wash with anything but warm water in the morning. With this strategy, I have been pretty much flare-up free for about 5 years. Thank you for this very important content. Most people have no idea that how they wash their face has such an impact.
This is how I've always washed my face when not actually taking a shower to wash it. Glad to know I've been doing something right for the majority of my life 😊
I know you had to keep your shirt on for the video, but the best thing to.do in order not to get water on your sleeves, collar, etc., is to take your top off! I've been doing this for years and it's so helpful. I also use wristbands so the water doesn't run down my arms 💖
I do the same thing, but since I am short I have found it is easier to bend over the side of the bathtub and to use the faucet there than to use the sink. The bonus is that gravity pulls the water upwards to my hairline and not down around my neck and chest.
Just discovered wrist bands and for me, a game changer. For years, water dripped on the sink, floor, and myself. I am short and this happens in every sink, every where. The bands catch the water and voila, no splashing. What a relief!
I KNEW IT!!!!! For a few years now I’ve been lazily forgoing morning washes, just splashing water to clean off “boogers” (note- not usually wearing ANY makeup or mascara for weeks at a time); so besides air pollution it’s really just the oil and lotion I use after my evening shower before bed that remains on my face
You’ve changed my skin ne my life dr!!! I can never thank you enough! ❤ Honestly I’ve stopped watching 1000 different channels which we’re doing nothing for my skin. There is so much onslaught of unnecessary information. I look up your videos for my specific skin concern and you’ve made more difference in 1 year than I have seen in 5 years of my skincare journey ❤
I've been following you for two/three months and I'm learning that consistency and fewer products spread at random are the perfect combo. Here in the deep north of Italy the cold that makes you sick hasn't arrived yet, so for the moment I'm coping well with autumn, thanks to your precious videos 💙 and my wallet thanks you very much too
After watching this when it first appeared i bought a package of a dozen small soft chamois clothes. I love it. Thank you for all your instructional content. Truly appreciated
I’m the exception. I tried not washing face in the am with mild cleanser and I broke out so badly. I spent so much more money going several times to two derms when I finally decided to go back to my usual routine of mild cleanse in the morning.
Same here. Well, I've only tried skipping a morning cleanse once or twice, but I use the La Roche Posay Toleriane cleanser, which is very creamy and gentle. I just feel like I need to wash my face in the morning, even though I'm dry-skinned.
That was exactly what I was worried about. Skipping am cleansing sounds natural for normal to dry skin, but for someone with oily, acne prone skin like me I doubt it's very efficient. Maybe I'll try it this week tho
Same here. I have very oily & acne prone skin, & I use the LRP Effaclar 2% SA cleanser in the mornings. I tried skipping it & just using water, & my skin looked awful; it was greasy, dull, my pores looked big & clogged, I got a few zits. Went back to my normal routine & my skin is happy.
@@GoBlueGirl78 It’s so interesting to me just how completely different each person’s routine is. I also have oily, acne-prone skin and I had seen an older video of Dr. Shereene’s where she mentioned only using water in the mornings, so I have been doing that for a couple months now and my skin seems to have liked it! I feel like it’s clearing up a little and I haven’t noticed any new breakouts. Although, I am curious how you like the LRP Effaclar 2% SA Cleanser?? Have you noticed a difference in your skin since using it? And now often do you use it?
Yeah. I always shower in the morning anyway so it makes sense to do it in the shower. Also, I live in a warm and humid climate and I have oily skin so I NEED to cleanse twice a day. Sometimes I even have to cleanse thrice a day. I know it seems excessive, but my face will look like a fried chicken by mid day.
@@s_shalehdefinitely when I was on vacation in a super humid environment, I had to cleanse 2xday - the sweat & moisture was constant. I already have a big oil reservoir on my forehead constantly even in my usual drier environment 😂
It's a little confusing because she said people splash their skin in the morning with water, dirty their white towels and then put on skincare, which she said was a waste. What if we have serums and moisturizers that use in the morning? If she is saying just wash with water, it contradicts, in my mind, what she said about people making a waste by just splashing with water.
I watched a video of you a long time ago advising not to cleanse your face in the morning and I have been doing it ever since. Saves time, saves money , and my skin benefits so much. Thank You 🤗
Hello! I’m Japanese. While I was watching this video, I found that there is a difference between your way and Japanese way to wash face. In Japan, it is said that rubbing face is not good for skin because the friction will occur some skin damages in the future. For example, increasing wrinkles, losing elasticity, and getting pores open. Dermatologists, beauty specialists and beauty magazines highly recommend NOT to rub the face skin when you cleanse your face, when you wipe with towel, and when you apply the skincare products. I don’t have any harm to you at all, I love your videos and I respect you so much. I really appreciate you because your advice and recommendations are so helpful which products to choose. I just would like to share the difference about rubbing while washing face. If you would like to know more about the frictionless skincare in Japan, there is a famous dermatologist, “TOMORI ARATA”. It would be great if her videos are interesting for you. Thank you always.
I was actually going to comment the same thing. She lost me at rubbing. & it was not just dab dab. It was pretty aggressive 😂 I feel like alot of derms think that’s forbidden. It’s interesting because she doesn’t use paper towel either. I saw a RU-vidr who uses towel like paper towels because bacteria doesn’t adhere to it, you can just toss it. Not environment friendly but eh. But I don’t have an MD so what do I know. She looks like lady Gaga though & is beautiful.
I always get shocked when I watch westerners treat their skin so harshly, her face was all red. I use the Japanese double cleansing method (oil cleanser and then hydrating foam wash) and never use towels on my skin to not get any bacteria on it or irritate it. I gently wipe of the water, let it air dry for a bit and then use a hydrating toner when it's damp.
I really enjoyed this video. I've noticed how much better my face looks and feels simply by slowing down and working the cleanser in. I definitely have to follow your lead on the wiping instead of rinsing because I usually end up soaked. Sleeves, chest, bathroom...
Thank you for posting this. I’ve just shared it to my 12 and 13yo sons as despite how many times I’ve told/showed them, it may just stick in their brains if it’s not their own mother trying to teach them 😂 ❤
Kids/teens most ppl who don't put on makeup even if oily do not need to wash their face every single day. Eating right also helps. That oil on our face/whole body is the delicate natural barrier that protects our skin.
Thank you! Since you told us nerds this a while back, I only do water wash in the am and it has def helped my skin. On another note, I just have to commend you a million percent on your absolutely amazing customer service with Pillow Talk Derm! I had a situation and you guys were amazing. Thanks you 🙏🙏
I wish I knew what I know now in my 20's my skin is the best it's ever been. Love love my skin. I get so many compliments. I love watching your videos it has taught me so much. I like to think that I am a skin nerd because of you and others here on RU-vid.
You're such a doll, you're so easy to listen to ☺️✌🏾. My 29 y.o. daughter told me not to use cleanser EVERY morning, so I alternate with plain H2O, and I like it. I do use the Elemis or e.l.f. cleansing Balms, though bc they're lovely, don't dry my skin or leave residue in my eyes 👍🏾. Thanks for the great tips 😀 ✌🏾
I stopped washing with cleanser when I wake up years ago - that and changing my pillowcases daily made a huge difference. Another weird thing I do is I work overnight so I reverse my skincare. I go to bed as soon as I get home, so I apply my skincare like retinol when I wake up, before work. Otherwise, I'd just lose most of my skincare to my pillowcase. I only see sun on my way home (rising sun) and apply sunscreen before leaving work, then wash my face with cleanser when I get home and follow up with a light moisturizer so it soaks in before going to bed.
This is a technique I’ve used for many years & have recently gotten my daughter on board. You are so right regarding this method of cleansing. I know my face is clean & it feels so good when I apply my night sleeping cream. ❤
Love this routine. Esp for sensitive rosacea prone skin. The “Day of the Week” microfiber towels are the best! After washing I use hypochlorous acid spray. And in morning too. Do a video on this please. When did this appear on the market?
You are just such a pleasure to watch. I basically do exactly what you do except stand at the sink and do all the splashing and end up with water everywhere. Thanks for the new way of cleansing my face. Will definitely be trying it!
Don't you wash your neck as well? I put sunscreen on my neck every day and need to get that off. Rinsing my neck is usually when my arms and chest get wet.
I would love a video on what we can use for our skin during pregnancy/breastfeeding. I feel like I'm doing nothing for my skin (except basic wash, basic moisturizer and mineral sunscreen) this will be at least 5 years of my 30s and I feel like I'm wasting important years of anti-aging.
I use Vanicream Gentle Facial cleanser in the morning. I do a quick gentle cleanse, but every time I’ve tried to skip using a cleanser in the morning I get a pimple or two. I don’t use many products in my evening routine but when I wake up in the morning my face feels sticky, I must sweat in my sleep.
This is always so useful. I would also stress the importance to keep clean bed pillows covers on a very regular basis. Merci chere Shereene, c'est toujours super.
Hi Dr. Idriss! I was wondering if you could do a winter body care video and specifically talk about how frequently one can use chemical and physical exfoliators on the skin to smooth and correct discoloration and treat KP without damaging or drying the skin out. I also had questions about Tinea Versicolor. I know it's caused by malassezia fungus, but can you go in depth about how it causes tinea versicolor and what exacerbates it? For example do hot showers and hair products make it worse? Thank you!
I just found your channel and I’ve already learned so much! Recent change in the texture of my skin(not breakouts) and I’m trying to pinpoint the issue. This is a good place for me to start! Thank you!
love this video! i'm a super oily person so i compromise by using as little cleanser as i can in the AM (my pores get clogged if i don't) and i shower at night so i wash my hair, face, and body with no wet sleeves involved 😅 but to each their own!
I love cleansing balms, specifically ELF leaves no residue when rinsed off and is fairly priced. I love the feeling of working them into my face and that I do not need any cotton pads or cloths at all. I would then go in with a gentle foaming cleanser just to make sure any residues are gone, however ELF balm emulsifies really well and washes off clean. I have tried micellar waters from Bioderma but have found I have to go in a few times to get everything off and I don't even do waterproof makeup. For the eyes, the only thing that works fast and doesn't sting nor need rubbing is Garnier micellar with argan oil (the one with two phases to shake up)
I also like that one. Physicians Formula makes a good one too. Although my favourites are the Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm or The Ordinary Squaalane Oil Cleanser. They both come in tubes because i dont like digging into the tubs for wome reason. Theres lots of Kbeaty Options too.
I love ELF balm. I use that to remove makeup and then vanicream face cleanser. I have normal but sensitive, rosacea prone skin. I don't react well to micellar water. It irritates me so I don't know why people like it.
I use those wrist cuffs , I love them no running water down my arms. Maybe yours are too big. I also wash my face like you , it’s the only way to get super clean skin and eye makeup off. 😊
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I really didn't know that I don't need to wash my face in the morning!!! I'm the one that didn't know how to wash my face and this video is perfect!!! Thank you so much!!!
I have oily skin, so not cleansing my face in the morning, isn’t going to work for me. I use miscellar water on a mini reusable “makeup eraser” pad and wipe that across my face… then I splash my face with lukewarm water 2-3x and pat dry with a clean small microfiber towel, before applying my morning skincare, sunscreen and makeup. At night, I do a double cleanse using a cleansing balm, which I wipe off with a DRY small “makeup eraser” pad. (I have 2 sizes… mini and small, for different cleansing needs.) I splash a bit of water onto my face and then massage a gentle cleanser onto the skin. Then I use another small “makeup eraser” - this time wet - to wipe off the cleanser and then I splash my face with lukewarm water 2-3x and then dry it with a clean microfiber towel, before applying my nighttime skincare.
In the Netherlands we have 'washandjes', which are like wash-mittens. Basically like your little towels, but then with 3 closed edges so you can stick your hand in for better control.
Questions: 1. Do I follow the same process in the morning when washing my face with water? 2. If I stayed indoors and did not apply make-up or sunscreen, do I need to double cleanse? Thank you for your helpful videos and looking forward to hear from you.
My acne disagreeing with not washing in the morning lol every time I have tried to stop the morning wash it doesn't work. But usually only use Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser in the morning. So it doesnt dry my skin too much
Ok, RU-vid definitely reading my mind. Was searching last night for classy pajamas and lint free gauze 🤷♀️ Please let us always know where your pajamas are from. They are always so nice!
I've been using a foreo (rubber device) to clean my face once a week for a deep clean. Are they bad for your skin? What are your thoughts.? Thanks from Canada.
Hello Beautiful Doctor! I love your videos but...i always cleanse my face in the morning! Why? Because i don't feel that my skin is clean 100% just with water! I tried washing my skin only with water but it didn't feel clean. I believe that the epidermal barrier is not affected because after cleansing we will moisturize with the products we use. ✌️
I love your videos but I wouldn't wash my face like that ever-the skin pulling is why I ended up with fine lines way earlier. I'll just stick to the oil and water-based foam cleanser in the evening.
Hi Dr Shereen actually you could use a more gentle and effective way to use the Bioderma water. The cotton pads really retain the micellar water so when the cotton is soaked with it you just have to gently press it on your eyes and wait a little without tugging anything. But you must use enough micellar water and on the cotton pad not by spraying it on your face. Lisa Eldridge has a great old skincare video where she shows it. I am French, I have been using micellar water for ever and use it the same way. As for the balms, I also do not like feeling a residue left on my skin which is why when I use them I just remove the balm the same way you remove your cleanser...with a small microfiber towel. But it has to be soaked with warm water. And I follow up with my regular cleanser.
I alternate between Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Noxzema Original Cleaning Cream (yes, I know it is fragranced and has Eucalyptus oil) massage on and I remove it with a very soft microfiber makeup remover cloth.
Thank you! I loved this and will be trying some of your suggestions. I never wash my face in the morning as it dries out my skin too much but honestly I thought I was breaking some cardinal skin care rule and don’t tell anyone 😅
I like using a good quality gauze too and also a little microfiber towel to take off my cleanser...I feel like it helps me to get some mild exfoliation. I don't like scrub type cleanser because it just irritates my skin. So I also agree with you that chemical exfoliation is a better way to go. But the gauze and towel is gentle enough so it's nice to use those items.
I've stopped cleansing in the morning, except for during ovulation stage because adult acne. I don't pat dry with towel and just apply my moisturizer on wet skin, but it was really to break out of that habit. That satisfying feeling of fresh towel was very tempting
For me I have to wash my face in the morning…just a quick sweep of a cotton pad and micellar water. I always rinse with water afterwards (residue of the miscellar water on my skin = itchy and irritating. I tried washing off my makeup with just miscellar water. I found it didn’t remove my makeup effectively, especially eye makeup! For me a 1) balm (heimish) or an oil cleanse definitely dislodges the makeup. Followed by a 2) cleanser which I massage for about 20 seconds onto wet skin. Rinse with tepid water. I know every skin is different and this is what works best for me. ❤
I hate micellar water,i tried a bunch of brands,hate them all but instead i love a good cleansing balm at night. I never wash my in the morning,a few times a week i use an exfoliating toner. Is it just me or she is being a bit rough on her skin,for me it's just too much wiping and tugging. They say it's all about to be gentle especially around the eyes. But hey no hate here just a point of view 🙂
Yeah she looks like she was pretty rough with her skin. But hey, it's her skin and she knows it best. I'm sure it's fine for her since she's been doing it for years without any issues. Everyone's skin is different anyways. Her technique may work for her but it might not necessarily work for everyone.
Thank you for this video people don’t realize it’s the little things.. I was surprised to see there wasn’t any face oils in this round up cleansing products ❤I just started using one and I do realize I need to use it only once a day because it is kind of stripping my skin. 😢 but I do love the way it feels I’m a long time cereve cream cleaner user but being 60 I thought I’d give something else a shot I’m hearing so much about these cleansing oils lately
