Love that when there’s new skincare (to me) that I wanna try, there’s almost always a video about it from Dr. Dray that I can check to make a more informed decision. And it’s a derm giving me free advice. Thank you, Dr. Dray. Appreciate all the work you put into your channel.
Blessings of Love bless your family and bless your heart they’re probably driving you crazy huh? 😝 seriously, tho all of Spain 🇪🇸 is in my prayers daily and as needed. Much Love to ALL❤️🙏🏻🌟
I have very thick Course hair and when I tried waxing omg the ingrown hairs down there was a disaster. Shaving same thing but not as bad. Surprisingly nair gives me the least amount of ingrown hair but the smell is the only thing I wish wasn’t there
Any form of hair removal destroys my skin:( I still shave my under arms and legs because I hate The feeling of hair even though mines not bad since it’s blonde and sparse but I’m dying to try laser hair removal
These creams are significantly better for my skin than shaving. I get such severe razor burn when shaving, but when using a product like Nair, I don’t have anything but smooth skin! I’ve tried everything, including Dr. Dray’s recommendations, but my skin just doesn’t like shaving.
pommeG03 same!! I am allergic to nickel so everytime I've tried shaving, my legs start to instantly itch and I just can't handle it. So I just use Nair or when I have more time and patience, wax.
I used the Nair sensitive face hair removal (yes I followed all of the given instructions) and I can honestly say it’s the worst thing ever! I was recommended by a bunch of influencers saying it will give you the softest skin ever (chantel Jeffries yt video) ... it was so awful that I ended up getting scarring and my skin started peeling and had dried blood, I couldn’t even wash my face or do anything with my skin. I’m now doing micro needling treatments to make up for the damage on my skin. Don’t jeopardize your skin please.
I love Nair/veet.. it works so well on me. Hair is completely gone, no irritation at all. However after i recommened it to my friend she said she left it on for the prescribed time, removed as diretced and it nothing happened.. just left a terrible smell. Felt very guilty!
Do you have dark and (perhaps) slightly thicker hair? How long does it usually last? Does the cream darken your armpits (if you use it there)? This is giving me hope because the skin on my body isn't that sensitive so I think it'll tolerate hair removal cream well. I have dark, thick hair. I'm feeling quite scared after reading the comments here though 😖 So sorry for all the questions 🙏
I love Nair. I have bad keratosis pilaris and it helps smooth out the bumps I get while it removes the hair. The key is to not leave it on long & don't rub it in aggressively like lotion.
I always use Nair. The last time I used it though, it burned my face the instant it touched my face. I wiped it off within 5 seconds. The burn healed in about a week but wow. That has never happened before. I won't be doing that anymore.
I have mild rosacea and when I tried the Aveeno calming gel cleanser, my rosacea had a flare. It also happened when I tried the Hadalabo foaming cleanser. Too bad I like the experience of using them :( the 2 cleansers that I can safely use are Cerave hydrating and La roche posay hydrating cleanser.
pickaflower xx how often do you change your razor ? And do you exfoliate..? Do you use any shaving cream before? I get little bumps whoever I shave my face and I want to know maybe about the potential mistakes I’m making.
Ana Guadron I change my razor when it starts getting dull I don’t really have a set time to do it and I use just a bic soleil razor I do exfoliate my skin with a hot wash cloth before and after shaving, I don’t use a shaving cream though I do use aloe vera gel or just a face lotion if you’re getting bumps maybe try a topical acne treatment or deep moisturize after, I’m not an expert but I hope this helps you
I have tried literally tried all methods. Creams, Laser, Shaving, Wax. With Laser the hairs still came back. With shaving, omg the hair growth was too fast and bushier. (Very bushy) Wax, is my option but hurts a lot Creams, are quick and easy. So yes in my case, Shaving made my bikini area much bushier and thicker.
Wax kits are a waste of Money just get a Wax warmer for 20 bucks on amazon, popsicle sticks at Dollar Tree and recycle your Bill paper and cut them in little squares ....
Vivian Gonzalez You can use paper instead of cloth strips?! The paper has enough strength to hold together when you rip it off? Wow, thanks for that info! That’s great! 😻💙💙
I've never been into waxing. I keep imagining the hair follicle becoming damaged and possibly causing ingrown hairs. I still just shave my legs & underarms, quick & easy. I love making my own peanut butter using lightly salted cocktail peanuts (less salty than dry roasted), in my food chopper. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. So good! :)
I remember you talking about your oat bars in an earlier video so thanks for the recipe! I'm going to make them. My vote for best peanut butter is Kirkland Signature organic peanut butter from Costco. I don't know if it's the Valencia peanuts or what but it's delicious. Have a great week Dr. Dray and everyone!
I had a Nair horror story. I used it and and like an idiot I rubbed it in like lotion and it burned my skin off. After it healed it left a large hyperpigmentation area on me and I was prescribed Triluma to help and thank the lord it went away. Will never forget that pain tho!
The chemical hair removers did not work for me and were quite irritating. Shaving gave me horrible ingrown hair problems and itchiness. It’s only when I started waxing that I finally got a break. I’m currently doing laser hair removal and even when I shave now, I don’t have ingrown hair anymore 😃 my hair became soft like when I was having my first hair.
omg i would never ever ever recommend nair to anyone! i used it on my butt to get rid of peach fuzz and had baby smooth skin for 2 days and then had THE WORST RAZOR BURN OF MY LIFE AFTER! it lasted months it hurt to sit down i swear damn near every single follicle became ingrown! took months upon months to go back to normal. I do have sensitive skin but this was surprising! had never reacted to any product so severely. be careful if you try it
Hello dr! Today the 21 days of Ulta sale began. I would LOVE to see another video with your recommendations on what is worth purchasing!!! Please🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I shave 🪒 with a men’s razor 1-2x a week. I like to keep my lady area nice and clean so I’ve noticed I can shave 1-2x a week or I’ll get razor bumps. I like to use Nair facial hair removal for my mustache. The smell is foul but it works really well and it leaves my top lip feeling so smooth. I use it 1-2x a month I think. And I tweeze my eye brows. I don’t like waxing because rot always lifts my skin off, (while using retin a you cannot wax).
*Dr. dray a tip I learned if you struggle trying to pry the last of the dry nut butter off the bottom of the jar... is to store it upside down in fridge/cabinet the night before you open it, and then continue to store it that way after, and you will never be left with a dry end of the jar plus the hassle of trying to carefully mix the naturally occurring oil separation that always seems to floof over the edge each time the jar is opened! Once I started doing this I couldn’t help but to wonder how something that seems so obvious never crossed my mind haha! 😄*
I tried Nair on my legs once , my legs became so itchy that l had to rince it off after a minute or two. Heading to the Lake House for a few days, thankfully the snow is melting making it easier to walk Finn. Stay safe everyone 😊🍁
I use the nair for my legs, shave my armpits and upper lip, and trim my "down there "very close. I tried hair removal cream, shaving and waxing did down there and it all irritates me and I get some type of rash, its extensive for just hair removal but it's worth it!🤍
No Nair or Veet for me! I've had burns and irritation far too many times. It's razors all the way plus it's nice to get the exfoliation at the same time
Dr Dray, your videos are amazing! You’ve helped me clear my acne and I cannot thank you enough!! I’d be so curious to hear your thoughts on at-home IPL devices for hair removal, such as the Kenzzi. Do they actually work?
I’ve used Nair for years w/o a problem. Last summer it removed some skin in the folds of my armpit. I couldn’t wear deodorant for THREE days. In the summer. Thank God I work from home.
I once tried a home wax kit for the hair on my upper lip....mustache...ok I have a mustache.😂 Ripped a huge chunk of skin off! Besides being painful, it was incredibly embarrassing. Never again! The bars looked good. I love bananas and your dehydrated apples looked like they turned out well. Great to see adorable little Tybee and your sweet momma. Her little bunnies are so cute. Hope you all had a beautiful weekend! 😊
I have eczema and really sensitive skin so none of these creams for me. I don't have a thick growth of body hair and only need to shave my legs once a fortnight. I do my underarms every couple of days. I'm not very hairy, so shaving works for me and I use a fragrance free conditioner or body wash for slip. I use a five bladed razor and each blade lasts a couple of weeks. I'm naturally blonde so any hair on my limbs is also very light. That won't work for a heavy growth or thick dark hair, but it works for me. Best wishes.
Omg I have always teased my bf about never washing his legs except on special occasions, and since he's started washing them chicken legs more often he's complained about the skin being dry! Now I feel so bad for peer pressuring him 😓
When using chemical hair removals it helps to put down a barrier on the skin first like Vaseline to protect the skin from burns this is what I learned going to school as an esthetician
I am 68, and I just still shave my legs. To me it is the easiest, however, years ago I did waxed. Some of the har on my lower legs no longer grows. Nor sure what causes that, but know it is common.
Emily Morris Menopause causes a drop in estrogen, which, for most women, leads to a reduction in the hair under the arms and on your legs. It also is responsible for the hair on your head thinning. Believe it or not it also relates to the appearance of those lousy little hairs on your chin as those can appear due to a drop in estrogen and a tick up in testosterone. Check out Menopause Taylor's videos. She is a gynaecologist and makes great content for women.
@@tanon2703 my father didn't have a drop of estrogen because he was man and hair on his lower legs stopped growing because of arteriosclerosis later he had other problems with his heart ,brain stroke and multiple operations on his arteries,I don't say she is candidate for that but just to check it can be serious,take care :)
@@itscomplicated9289 men have estrogen just not as much a women. But, yes a lack of circulation can cause hair lose as well as the the hair follicles could have just died. It's very common once you've reached a certain age. For some it's early than others. Also, medications can play a huge part in that as well as dry skin within the older population. 💚😀
Please do a video on hand washing and the best hand creams for dry cracked hands from hand washing. I’m always scared lotion will effect the effectiveness of antibacterial soaps.
Dr.Dray I once in awhile I do use Nair on my face my hair grows back the same I only leave it on for 3min because longer then that it burns ,is it ok to use once in awhile? Thankyou Dr.Dray
I love your sundays w/mom but here in Dallas people are staying home for the biggest part of the epidemic...so be safe...xoxo thank you so much for your time you spend w/us...xoxo
Those bars look so good while I’m drinking this coffee I hope I don’t slobber like a Basset hound. I’m so glad you slept in and denied springing forward at least a day!👍🏻 Happy Sunday! Dermatologist/chef/model/etc.👉🏻☕️👩🏻🍳💃🏻🎉
Jackie Marsh I hope you have a wonderful day too your such a sweet lady! I can’t get Dr. Dray’s oatmeal peanut butter banana bars out my head I’ve been thinking about them through 5 miles on treadmill if someone dangled one in front me with a fishing pole I would go another 5 miles!
@@UncleCharlie111x2Lol Thank You Sooo Much For The Sweet Comment, I Truly Do Appreciate Alot!! I'm Right With Ya, That Combination is Out of This World!! Your Comments Always Bring Joy and Laughter To Us, and I Thank You Sooo Much For That Uncle Charlie!!
Hmmm...I wonder if I could make those oatmeal bars with nuts and raisins / dried cranberries: that definitely looks like a tempting idea for me. Thanks for the Tybee-moment at the end: he's the icing on your clip!
So glad you covered this Dr. Dray! I just “Naired” and wondered what you thought about “melting” our hair off🤣🤣🤣...My dad used to use Magic Shave😩😫...the smell was terrible! Nair is the less smelly version😖🤣... I did want to ask what you recommend to put on after “Nairing”🧐...Also, Pan Oxyl has changed my underarm life🥰❤️
Hi Dr. Dray famly. Happy Sunday! I love getting books from the library but I'm wondering your thoughts about the Covid-19 virus. Do you think if someone used the book that had the virus , would the virus stay on the book. I have heard that no one really knows how long the virus is active on surfaces. Staying away from the library for now.
Angela T Well...they did have time to test and retest these things (and they have of course), so you can actually get quite reliable information on that by now. Surfaces like paper or cloth are way less of a concern than smooth surfaces like steel or glass. Get the books, put them aside, wash your hands and wait for 24 hours. Make it three days, if you’re a risk group, just to be 100% safe. Your biggest risk is being in the library itself anyway. If someone sneezed in there and the windows are closed, you could still get infected 30 min later, by breathing that air. Certainly, if someone sneezed or coughed in your immediate vicinity. You could also consider some kind of online e-book service. There’s lots of stuff, that’s either in the public domain (published before 1925, so Jane Austen, H.G. Wells, Mark Twain.....stuff like that‘) or to be had for very reasonable fees. Kinda like Netflix for books.
You have the most beautiful skin nobody can argue with the fact that sunscreen is good, look at your skin you're skin is always glowing. You don't need any make up to enhance your beauty it's there for all to see without a scrap of make-up on.
Hey Dr. Dray, what are your thoughts on bleaching the hair on your face?I'm here to find an alternative for threading my facial hair, it's more of peach fuzz hair, but it feels so depressing when the hair grows back it feels prickly and spiky as a man's beard 😥 do you have any thoughts on that? *please do a video addressing facial hair!
I’ve been looking for an oat bar recipe and this one looks delish!! BTW, your videos and advice have transformed my skin. Have started using Differin for about two weeks now and have been able to keep peeling under control. And SPF 50 and a ball cap when I’m outside! Thank you for all you do. I learned more with your channel about acne and good skincare than any dermatologist has ever told me. ❤️
I would caution people against wax strips that come in a box. I normally wax with a standard wax pot. I bought some sally wax strips while traveling in Europe. They gave me chemical burns, or something like that. I recently used flamingo strips, again while traveling. They didn't burn me, however they weren't very effective in removing my much hair from my face.
I don't mind my hairy legs. I don't care. I am a pretty rational person and I can't think of one legitimately good reason to shave as a woman. If your man minds, then he probably has a pretty boring mind
Dear drDray,sorry I have a question about different subject if You dont mind.What soap will be the best for hands especially now,I have eczema on my hands and already horrible breakouts of it because of extensively washing hands.Just wondering all soaps will destroy viruses,which ones will be the best to do the work and not be very harsch on hands.
everything in neutrogenas hydroboost line made be BREAK out. I have sensitive skin but its not acne prone. I wish it worked for me because I actually liked how it worked until it started burning and I got break outs.
Wonderful,enjoy your shopping trips,I just made blueberry muffins,now I need to make some breakfast cookies,your recipe looks very healthy & good. Happy Sunday to your Mom &Tybee too. See you tomorrow. Stay Healthy🏡🌈👒👒👒
Hi doc , I had a severe allergic reaction to hair removing cream, left me with depressed atrophic scars and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation that’s been there for 9 years now . My dermatologist said it’s melasma , can’t they see o got post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on the pitted atrophic scars which was damaged so how could it be melasma !!!
Dr Dray do you have a video on how to solve irritation, ingrown hairs, black spot after shaving for african thick hair on the face and pubic area? How can the area be smooth and no discoloration again?
Hi Dr Dray! I just bought recomended by u sunscreens from yesstyle and I'm loving it! Verdio UV gel is such a game changer for me. I enjoy it so much more than my usuall go to Cetaphill oil control. I fall in love with japanese sunscreens and they r the only one wich I enjoy reaplying! Thank u so much again!
I used to use Veet on my legs as a teenager (15/16 I could remove my hair). I only did my lower legs, as my mom always warned me about removing it on top (I have such fine and sparse hair there that it is hardly noticeable). Now it barely grows (disability), and so I pluck the few hairs out that pop up once in a while. Bikini line, same, pluck the few stragglers out that show next to the panty-line. More is not necessary. IMO.
So you did it once and only some of the hair grows back after that? Did you use the cream on your bikini line too? I'm 18 and I'm very lazy so I would like to avoid having to remove my hair frequently - which is why I don't want to shave. I'd plucked some of the hair on my legs before and they didn't grow back. I'm taking that as a good sign. Sorry for the questions 🙏
@@asuka-ryo No I did it every time hair grew back during my teens and well into my 20s. Veet or Nair isn't something permanent but it keeps the hair from growing back for a long time. You have to really coat the area, then wait the instructed amount, then use the scraper to remove (and do not run it down your drain, but discard it in a tissue after each pass). I have sparse hair now due to a disability in both legs (and lacking circulation). I think you might have misunderstood me, but I could have been more clear. :)
The Sally Hanson extra strength is my fave between laser treatments. I have PCOS so taming the facial hair isn't a picnic. I've done laser hair removal 4 times this is rounds of treatment. It's very expensive, but it does last a long time.
