Well, she's no longer saying that she is a 39-year-old Board Certified Dermatologist. BUT, while 39 was great, I LOVED turning 40!!! I loved every day of my 40th year, and if I could repeat any year, it would be that one! She's GORGEOUS and accomplished--rock it, sista!! You look 30, tops!!!
ZOOLANDER!!!! "Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty." You, quoting this movie, made my day, and I loved it when you changed it up a bit. Instead of just saying I'm a certified board dermatologist! ❤
Don’t listen to the fear mongers, just do what’s best for you. Skincare isn’t one size fits all our skin has different needs. She just needs views and clicks.
@pavanarora3538 Are you sure? It’s a *master’s* degree, with an apostrophe because it’s possessive, not plural. In addition to that, you can’t be a master’s; you have one. The sentence should read as follows: I am a Master of English. Alternatively, you could say the following: I have a master’s degree in English. I’m not trying to be a jerk. I’m confused/concerned that you say you have an advanced degree in English, yet write like that. Either you have been ripped off by a shady institution, or you’re fibbing. I hope it’s the latter. I’d hate for you to have put in all the time and effort that goes into a master’s, and then be left without even the fundamentals of your degree.
Dr. I’m 75 been going to dermatologist for 57 yrs. I have battled rosacea since I was 18,,not only have I learned so much from you,,but have enjoyed every darn minute of it,,,wish we could have a coffee together,,thank you for brightening my day,,
I’m am NOT a doctor I do have a pharmacy background You could say I’m a 25 yr board certified researcher w yrs of gut problems and visiting all kinds of doctors, dermatologists included. I love all doctors and all have helped me. When I comes to rosacea the problem isn’t what’s being put on the skin topically it’s an internal issue likely w the gut. No dermatologist could help my psoriasis breakouts stop or be prevented, however when my gut was focused on and helped I NEVER got another flare of it - that was 25 yrs ago. Rosacea, eczema, psoriasis are all gut/immune problems. Topicals sooth temporarily at best Hope this helps and your mom gets the care she needs
@@shayalynn I have a PhD & had multiple problems re skin - & what I found out is that many ppl cannot tolerate Dairy products (& that acne, rosacea, psoriasis & more) can be cleared by eliminating Dairy (& for me I had to stop all gluten as well) but tell yr Mum to Ask her Doctor - to help her give up Dairy - bc unfortunately you lose a lot of micronutrients doing so you have to be careful to replace those & either he will explain why - or he can send you to a Nutritionist to help. About a third of the World's Population struggle with eating Dairy; & about twenty something percent get awful & often painful skin conditions; the skin is Our largest organ - & if there's something wrong; it tends to show up on yr skin usually Tell your Kum also to take a (chelating) Vit B12 tablet - the kind that dissolve under the tongue! (& bc theyre the only ones that can be absorbed I was told) Take it every day - just after eating an avocado or some coconut milk to aid absorption. 🙏💜🇬🇧💜
I’m so glad you’re explaining this because last year my skin was so itchy and sensitive and I couldn’t work out why. I was using multiple toners in a single routine and that was the issue.
Omg the same thing happened to me the past 2months, just couldn't figure out what was wrong so I stopped using everything and finally my skin is okay now
I have learned that lesson in the hardest way I was obsessed with getting rid of the fungal acne I even injured my face trying to do that. Then youtube taught me it was fungal acne head and shoulders got the job done for my face but not for my scalp lol.
I adore your realness, you're authenticity, and the strength that you employ as you share your professionalism with us! Thank you so much for everything that you express to us! I appreciate every ounce of energy you use, thank you so much!🎉❤
this is what bothered me. After I bought COSRX snail mucin cream and broke out like crazy, I sticked with my Nature Republic Mild green tea emulsion (yes! just an emulsion) just a gentle cleanser and emulsion. took a break from actives. my skin never looked and felt better!! which surprised me cuz i alwqys thought being soaked and moist is the way-to-go.
OMG my husband bought me the snail mucin for Christmas and I can't use it 😥 Loved how I glistened but I broke out EVERYTIME! Gonna have to try the Nature Republic!
damn i have to comment bcs i used those 2! except it was the NR cleanser and not the emulsion 👀 just want to say this NR variant at least the cleanser and moisturizer work good on dry, sensitive skin for anyone wondering though it could use more of moisture but overall it was a nice experience no breakout, or skin tight feeling after washing 4/5 cosrx snail mucin worked like a charm for me, literally improved my skin texture dramatically making it looks much better and healthier, solid 5/5! probably bcs i have dry skin, pretty gentle for sensitive skin as well (again from my personal experience), i suggest trying the travel size first 30ml to see if it works for you
Thank you! I am just a mom and viewer on RU-vid like anyone. I recently was viewing someone not you tube. They professed they knew what they were talking about with skin care. I asked how they knew so much. His hostile with me made video targets directed at my question and never gave any knowledge of how she got her research data. I’m so thankful of a real professional who guides people of all ages on real skin care opinions. 🙂
Sometimes when I over moisturize I start breaking out super bad so every now and then I was my face before I go to bed and I don’t even moisturize I just let everything dry up( I do have oily skin) and then I do my normal routine in morning. Works like a charm
This honestly makes me feel a lot better as someone with oily skin but often not haven taken care of my skin or moisturised at all because of life difficulties. This makes me wonder as well that having oily skin can be a reason of looking younger? I am 40 and have not moisturised for years, been street homeless and suffered terrible abuse and stress and stress is aging as well. I do not understand why I still get asked if I am in my 20s. I feel I have aged but other people still seem to think I look young for some reason, so maybe the oily skin?
@@ffreshfields5211 Same here, I'm 34 and I only moisturize the little patches I get in the winter. My oily skin can't handle the moisture, I break out SEVERYLY! A dove bar of soap and exfoliator has held me down since I was 16 😅 I get told a lot I pass for 25 still
If I "hydrate hydrate hydrate" my skin twice a day, it looks fresh and plumpy. If I skip hydration for two days, it turns to a greyish scaly irritated fine lined mess 😭 I need my intense hydration/moisture combo, especially in winter 🥲
It depends on your skin so if it's doing you good then its fine. I do moisturising 2x a day because i just started my skincare at the age of 29. Morning gentle light moisturizer while night time i do triple: 2x lights ( since i don't use night cream or 1 is classified as night cream idk lol) and then top my dry areas like cheeks with vaseline. Now i can feel my skin moist and fresh than before. I even live in a tropical humid country with combinations normal skin. Though it depends on what i use that day and how my skin feels, i reduce the moisturization or vaseline. Still experimenting with what works after 2months.
Two times a day is great. That's not all day and every time you think about it. Set it, forget it. AM then PM. I hope all is working out. Get a good skincare regimen is rewarding!
Thank you for adressing this!! All the influencers telling us to layer 7 hydrating toners caused me to overhydrate my skin which gave me small tiny bumps known as some type of fungus
I SO wish that you lived/practiced in Minnesota, because I would ABSOLUTELY be coming to see you! You know what you're talking about, PLUS you actually have a personality too!!! I love that you don't take yourself too seriously❣️. God bless and love & light always! 🙏❤️👼🩷🪽💖✨💗🌟💝💫💞🫶💕🥰
so true, just realize it last year. but never too late my friends. every person have many different living conditions and weather and skin type. so listen what your skin need not tiktok etc.
The best way to get moisture also isn't hyaluronic acid or glycerin or anything else - it's from drinking enough water. You heal or harm your skin from the inside out, not the outside in. Drink water. Yes, wear sun screen and cleanse and moisturize. But also eat well and drink water. Exercise. Don't get sunburns.
I realized this a while back when i bought that laneige moisturizing milky toner. After only a handful of uses i got fungal acne on my forehead, i realized the product was too moisturizing for me and had to stop using it though i loved the way it made my skin look directly after use.
Wow! Thank you for mentioning this. I just today saw an online esthetician mention this same product (more like a skin influencer respectfully), 😂😳😯 genuinely very helpful to have come across your comment !
last year when it was rainy season in my area, it was toooo humid. Too humid that I'd ever experienced in my life. I got That Fungal infection Behind my ears and I don't lie, It hurts as Hell 😢 It was a traumatic experience for me for 2 months straight until they healed and they'd left dark scars behind my ears 😢
You crack me up! I just had this conversation with a lady in the skincare isle yesterday lol I’m a retired licensed Esthetician 😂 I taught her about looking at the Ingredients and to ignore what the front of the bottles & packages said! I told her she didn’t need Hyaluronic acid in every single step of every single product lol We live in Florida for gods sake. We don’t necessarily need moisturizer every single day lol We DO need sunscreen tho! It’s extremely Humid here!
To be honest, more hydration really helped my skin, so I think when people are telling people hydration is key, it's because before we weren't hydrating our skin (at least here in the west, I know there's a decent amount of hydration ij Korean skinncare for example). In the west were mostly told cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise, but most of the moisturisers here are more oily than hydrating, so if you out it on skin that is dry bevause it's lacking hydration, its just sealing in the dryness and will over produce oil to compensate for you washing the natural oils off to replace it with another oily cream which doesn't moisturise it as well as your natural oils, and the excess natural oils can like to sit in your pores and for me, caused too many excess skin cells that need to washed or exfoliated off every day, and if I didn't I'd get spots. Whereas hydrating steps provide the hydration so the skin isn't dry after cleansing, and you lock it in with a moisturiser that has that oil moisturising elements in it to stop the water lesving the skin. It's really worked wonders for me. But yeah no need for skin to be/look wet constantly from excess hydrating products since at a certain point they won't absorb anyway and are more likely to rub off or the water evaporate. But definitely don't forget a hydrating step if your skin could benefit from it.
Thank you! So sick of people pushing that you need to moisturize to the extreme! Even with oily skin…”oh you have oily skin? That’s just your face over producing oil bc you ACTUALLY have dry skin.” Like no B, I just have oily skin, last thing I need is more oil.
I think this is prob my favorite video that you have made yet! Super funny. When you realized how long you have been in practice for, I felt that to my core.
pls make more shirt form vids about this topic! i've seen two from u where u tell us about over moisturizing as a problem but not how to fit it or the signs to look for and that's what id really like to know :)
Whoooa 😅, I do not comment often, but THAT was a much needed roast for all of us! Who the hell am I? 😅 Someone who agrees with everything you said! 😂 More please! ❤
Omg thank you, as someone with oily skin I've tried using hyaluronic acid and moisturiser 2 times a day, but it always broke me out and made my skin look horrible. The only think that works for me is to use a light moisturiser once a day
Lol! I wouldn't have thought about the fungal thing but it makes perfect sense and I'm glad u mentioned it. I was going bananas with the hydration for a while and I noticed that my skin started to look and feel heavy...I guess it reminded me of a soppy wet wash cloth. It was just way too much.
HA is great…if used correctly. If u don’t follow it up with a good moisturizer to lock in the hydration, u just dry out, especially if in a dryer climate.
In Houston its so humid! HA works perfect here! Sometimes I don’t even use an occlusive because I know nothing is going to dry me out. but when I travel to cold climates… its not enough. I probably need to develop a whole different routine for cold climates
I need the lightest moisturizer possible in warm weather & a little extra hydration in some areas in cold weather. I feel so disgustingly greasy otherwise
First of all, you’re funny 😂 and second, I agree. I use a little bit of moisturizer at night when I feel it needs it. I always get compliments on my skin so shes right.
So real, this summer I made the mistake of maintaining the same skincare as in winter and I never had so many pimples until I reduced the number of products I used.😅
Thank you! So many cosmetic RU-vidrs are about hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! My late-50s skin would be a greasy mess if I moisturized that much. A light moisturizer for oily skin works for me.
As far as wound care goes, this is also the case, which I find so fascinating. Obviously, we all know that wounds to the skin heal better when you keep them moist, and that's true, but too much moisture can also cause damage to healing tissue, a problem called wound maceration. It's all about balance. :°D
I think I just realised the reason for the mysterious and till death tell us part itchy rashes on my face this summer. My father is a board certified doctor, practitioner of general medicine and he warned me about the overuse of moisturisers. I however, couldn't figure out where to stop. But "the deal is in the detail" and here's the story: I probably suffered from some dehydration earlier this Summer, followed by me spending a lot of time, sometimes even about fifteen hours a day in a cold air conditioned room to prevent as much water loss from my body as possible. Eventually I recovered from the severe weakness but was left with a pair of sunken eyes, lips so dry that some parts looked white and breaking, skin dry and itchy, half open eyelids that stayed like that for days and dark circles that reminded me of '101 Dalmatians'. It was at this moment that I began bathing in honey, glycerin and something called Boroline we get here. I took so much care of myself that things got back to normal and then, even better. I almost achieved the glass skin if not for an allergy that suddenly led to sorta apple-shaped dark patch on my cheek and itching that spread from one cheek to the other and to the chin and neck that increased with every passing hour. Early in the morning I finally got out of bed and thoroughly washed my face with a mild face wash which eased the discomfort but only for a short while. I learnt on the internet that a heavy moisturiser helps calm irritation from an allergy, so I put the one I knew and used before. It claims that it provides nourishment too. And it did work. I felt better than ever. Now I use moisturisers sparingly. I let go when my skin feels good and looks shiny.
I also read an article from this 90 yr old woman who looks 50. She said if you use moisturizer, it blocks your skin's ability to create it's own moisture. So she only uses a serum.
Yes! That’s why we have to stop just blindly following everything. It’s always been this way, but worse now because of exposure, etc. People fail to recognize and appreciate that everyone’s skin is different. Too much dryness is bad, just as is too much hydration!
But, but, but ..Dr ! I was just following your advice, remember? Rose water, glycerine and water... spray and spray...lots of hydration !😂 No !??? Now, I am confused! 😘❤️❤️❤️😂
Pretty sure that's her winter skincare routine when the air gets really dry and sucks the moisture out of the skin. She's referring to all the hydrating ingredients that are present in like multiple steps of the skincare routine (just look at hyaluronic acid for instance , it's like in everything these days - even the guys at doctorly are not fan of hyaluronic being incorporated in practically every step of the skincare routine)
I noticed when I used to do that "7 layers" bs 😂 I had milia type spots all over my face, plus I was DRYER. So now, I do hydrating serums on damp skin from being freshly washed, and maybe 1 layer of extra water sprayed on before moisturiser .
I have the type of skin commonly named greasy dehydrated skin, so I am bond to a very subtle and fragile equilibrium between hydrating but not increasing grease production...
So many products that protect my skin from the hot desert air where I live also trap sweat against my skin in the summer.. and yeah. The fungus hydration issue is real. It's such a battle to keep my skin from breaking out with malassezia while also trying to keep my skin from drying out.. 😭
