For my makeup wearing ladies as soon as you get home after work remove your makeup and cleanse you faces and neck and apply your evening creams lotions and potions. It gives those things more time to absorb into your skin and you don’t have to worry as much about getting that gunk all over your pillowcase
I recently started this it's making a difference. Those products get more contact time on the skin and everything absorbs well before touching the pillow. Sometimes I'll mist my face and add another layer of cream or ointment to the under eyes.
Doc! I have done this for 45 years. My husband said I smelled of sulfur but I loved it and decided we would duo in our nighttime ritual. I started to butt paste him and we both smelled the sulfur. His skin improved 💯 and we were very happy with the results 🎉
@@dollupwithmargs721 - I always use Desitin - which is a very old brand/trusted. It’s very thick so just use small spots on t zone and chin. If you feel your pores are way too big- get some Effaclar for pores. I use that gel on my face during the day in summer. Good luck - but you must stick to it! ❤️
@@Wonderpattypatty - Desitin butt paste. Old trusted brand. Since it’s very thick just use a few dots on the areas you want diminished. I use it on my T zone and chin. It doesn’t smell good but the results are incredible. I also use Effaclar gel - just a dot on my T zone under any makeup - or no makeup. This helps with sebum production as well as making your pores look smaller. Good luck ❤️
I’m 60, and the best way to describe my skin is reactive. Any time I try something new I have to go very slow. About 20 years ago, when all of a sudden most laundry detergents started to turn my whole body into a big, red mess; my dermatologist had me go back to the basics and use zinc everywhere I was red. It was my miracle! I’ve kept a tub of zinc in my bathroom ever since. And to my friends and family who have laughed when I recommended it to them, looks like I was ahead of the curve! Thanks for your helpful videos.
@@Jacksonvilleplanespotting2 I actually just got some! I saw someone praising it to high heaven in another video so figured I'd give it a go. So far I've not noticed a difference but I know these things take time.
34yo here! Your video talking about retinol in moisturizers possibly being too high & being the reason for peeling/flaking HELPED SO MUCH I had started adding neutrogena night cream with .3% or smth, figuring i should upgrade my routine w/better products? and my face was constantly peeling w/dead skin, flaky patches. fresh out of the shower I'd apply there'd be a stinging but I thought that's happened before, water was just too hot... then my chest developed tiny bumps, idly scuffed my nails across & now there's bloody little wounds! Within a week of tossing it everything was gone [facepalm] Returned to my old moisturizer
you can use retinol on damp skin or it will burn you. make sure your face is completely dry before applying it. if your skin is sensitive, apply a face cream first and then retinol 5min later
Kinda glad she doesn’t so that we focus on the ingredients that work instead of just getting the same sales type pitch of every other influencer hawking their wares.
Listen up people! I have tried all of these different face creams that all the influencers push and none of them ever gave me real results! I finally whittled it down to two products that work best and it’s the one she’s talking about… I still use a face cleanser and a hydrating cream as well but other than that these are the only two face cream I use! And they work!!!
WOW ❗😻TYSM Subscribed👍My mom had flawless skin thru her 70s she looked 40ish! She used Sherry vinegar to clean her face, ears, chest, hands and neck. Then the DESITIN DARLING! ( Zinc oxide cream!) She also used lemon halves she rubbed everywhere and homemade mayo ( egg yolks EVOO, lemon juice as moisturizer for hair, skin and softest feet and hands then a layer of Vaseline to seal it in.She grew up in the dry arid Sierra's of Spain which the winds made you dry and scaly and winters were so cold in the mountains. She still did this 50 years in hot and humid FLORIDA!
Over night beauty hacks that have blown my mind with how effective they are: 1. Frownies work! I’m sold for life. My forehead wrinkles are significantly reduced after a few weeks. 2. Hydrocolloid nose patches. The big ones that cover your whole nose and part of your cheeks. They pull so much sebum and gunk out overnight, you wake up with almost invisible pores on your nose! 3. Silicone scar tape! Works best if you press hard on them otherwise they slide off in your sleep. I apply them on any PID marks from healed acne. I go to bed with my frownies, my nose patch, 1 or 2 scar patches on my PID, a few other hydrocolloid pimple patches. I look weird! But it all works.
Also I love frownies but I use so many i got to thinking about how you could make them yourself( Its rediculous that they dont make larger pieces) But I just happen to find a video of a woman that does it and tells what she used and how she did it. It's in one of the thousands of videos I save for me to watch later😂 and your comment just reminded me 😂😂😂 I NEED TO FIND IT
You have literally saved my skin with this triple paste tip thank you thank you thank you so much!!!!! I’ve struggled with eczema for years and this has restored my skin barrier so quickly it couldn’t believe the results honestly. Your amazing❤❤❤
I wish I could send you a list of the stuff that’s worked for me to make sure I’m not making any mistakes lol I swear by my routine and I have hormonal acne/PCOS . Your videos are amazing and I’ve learned soo much, thank you for being you and for having such a great sense of humor 😂💚💚
@@jaydyboo oh no! I’m sorry. I hope that improves for you soon! What steps do you do if you don’t mind? I’ll share mine too 🤗 I use ordinary brand, Retinol, Niaminicide, Hyrolonic Acid and finish with a moisturizer (in that order about 4-5 days a week after my pm shower. In the shower I really like the Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser daily, then a clean & clear acne wash like every 2 ish days. I’ve been doing this specifically/exclusively for about a year or two and it’s made a huge huge difference for me. (I have combo ish skin, 28, don’t wear make up daily)
Can you share your routine please, I've never had any issue with acne before but this year my face started to explode with cystic acne out of nowhere 😭
She should do a video on what matches with what.Im always so confused on what to pair when using retin A.Ive heard nothing except moisturizer.Then I read glycolic acid,I've no idea but, perhaps a video where we can see what not to pair with what.
I rub that stuff in like lotion and it doesn't show. I don't know if this is dermatologist approved, but I put it on in the morning instead of moisturizer and put my makeup on on top. Works for me.
@@wednesday55 I think she said somewhere that you can wear it during the day. It just might leave you looking pasty. For anyone that doesnt like that, they can wear it at night.
@@cosmicraiszinc is also found in mineral sunscreen. Butt paste is essentially sunscreen too as it contains zinc and titanium dioxide. You can just buy mineral sunscreen and use that instead of a baby butt paste.
Not sure for her but some people can sleep still so it's not an issue. If you roll around in your sleep or shove your face into your pillow then it's 100% getting into your sheets, you'll prolly be changing your pillowcase every time you do this
HUGE question⚠️🤞🏼! What type of pillow is best to sleep on with the zinc oxide on? I ordered the same jar you have, & use it on my non-tretinoin nights. However my face sticks to the pillow & I wake up with it everywhere. My husband laughs, but I always have to do laundry then lol. Plus, anyone who does this beauty hack, A WARM WASH CLOTHE IS THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE THE BOOTY PASTE, then I just shower, cleanse, tone, moisturize, sunblock, & use some drunk elephant anti-pollution drops, set it with the Tarte SPF mineral click pen & go. But love this hack, have actually been telling a lot of patients about it & I get portal messages, with attachment images of how happy they are & their skin does look soooo good. ♥️♥️♥️ all your videos.
Maybe put enough on that you can stick one of those disposable thin paper masks on top and it will act as a barrier? I’m talking about the kind that come in little plastic balls and you are supposed to soak them in your own toner, etc, to make your own sheet mask. I bought a container of these inexpensively at TJMaxx.
Would love a tip for us in scandinavia; The sun doesn't go down here in the summer, like it's daylight 24/7, so sleeping with acids a little bit of an issue.
Yup! I mean def use sunscreen every day. Like 50 SPF. My skin cannot handle acids every night but when I do use acid exfoliants, I have no issues as long as I use sunscreen during the day.
If u r using tretnoin, why do u need glycolic? M a beginner I use glycolic all nights except the day I use retinol n the next day. I use retinol twice a week.
Yea I was wondering this as well. I use tretinoin every night but then use glycolic acid toner sometimes during the day. But it messes up my skin barrier sometimes
You're meant to use exfoliating acids a couple of nights a week, in between your retinoid nights. So, you could do retinoid for 2-3 nights, then glycolic one night, then retinoid again 2-3 nights etc. The retinoid speeds up the cell turn around time so they die faster than usually, and the glycolic acid removes that surface dead skin. Hope that helps
It's not rare that people go to town once hooked on retinoids - if seasoned users and with non-reactive skin, they layer both tretinoin and acids in the same routine, claiming that they got the most amazing results by doing that. Now kids are doing thing called 'tret on wet', which is self-explanatory I guess. I remember dr Idriss talked about using tretinoin up to 4 days a week and acids on other days, but she also mentioned few times that she would use both in the same routine. There are products around which have both on their ingredient list, of course, appropriate formulations that won't be damaging I suppose. I don't know. I'm for less is more approach. Especially if the skin doesn't have major issues. If drugstore retinol works, as long as it works and the skin is happy - no need to upgrade for me.
Dr. Idriss! I got the zinc butt paste, have used it, but I always wake up with such dehydrated skin to the point even others notice. I’m assuming I’m supposed to be doing something prior, but I already tried with & w/out moisturizer, result didn’t change
Some butt pastes contain ingredients that absorb liquid from exuding wounds such as *talc, mica, kaolin* . They do a wonderful job used _ad hoc_ but they dry as hell used in our face. You are not doing anything wrong at all. Just check the ingredients and choose a brand that does not contain them. If you live in Europe, Mitosyl is heaven 🙌🏼✨. Hope it helps. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I remember watching old movies and sitcoms like "I love Lucy" and they women would go to bed with a face full of white cream...it definitely was a thing women did in the 1950's. But I wonder if they used Nivea cream.
PONDS. My Grandmother used a whole face of PONDS every evening when going to bed. Also used “marital sheets” (look it up) because they were DEVOTED CATHOLICS 😅 and letting my grandfather “see her” or “feel” her when making babies was a BIG NO-NO 🤣
I'm young, like young enough to not be able to get a driver's license and I'm not a dermatologist but i always put the thickest layer of moisturiser on my face before bed and in the morning my face is ready for makeup :D so yeah, if anyone reading is under 20 just stick to a moisturizer and other light stuff cause those ingredients are usually too harsh
I am dying to exfoliate since last 2 years but I can't due to sensitive skin. I have so many skin concerns: strawberry legs, dark elbows & knees & hyperpigmentation on my face. I am 26, female. On the top of that, I have atopic skin as well
I have a tip, might work for you too who knows. 😊 So I am/was identical to you, but do tolerate The Ordinarys 30% BHA/AHA for only 20-30 seconds (edit: i think i only did like 10-15 seconds in the very beginning) 1-2 times per week, it did make a big difference for me. It wasn't perfect, but comparability to before it was a big difference. Only use it if your skin barrier is 110% intact tho (which i managed to finally get for the first time only using a pure glycerol product every night/morning, my specific one is a 20% emulsion). Those two, sunscreen, and medicine for eczema were the only things i used for years. My skin is fine enough for me to experiment a tiny bit with other acids now. edit 2: I forgot! the hyperpigmentation for your face: i have none now, i used Klairs Vitamin Drops to get rid of them! It has 5% vitamin C, very low. My skin was sensitive to it tho, probably since it has lavender oil and orange oil (😭) but it was worth it for the vitamin c. i took short breaks often to recover. if you try it, be patient, it took 1 year for me.
@@iendrin9152Can you share what helped with your strawberry skin? I have terrible KP on my legs that just won't go away and is spreading from my thighs to my calves now😢.
@@shereeneidriss Hi!! 😊 Would you mind listing the products by name that are not tagged in the Shop link that are yours, in the Description part of the video please? About 60% of the comments are always asking that question. Thank you so much!! ❤
I put it on about 2 hours before bed. But if you do it really thick it will get on your pillows. I've read that it doesn't absorb into the skin but creates a barrier on top. Not sure if that's correct but 🤷♀️ it does make my face feel smooth and moisturized in the morning though
What about retinol. Can you do face basting on the day you apply retinol. Also I thought we were supposed to do face basting on top of glycolic acid. Was I doing it wrong all along?😢
what was that glycolic acid product you used? 👀 the packaging looked suspiciously similar to the other dr idriss products (which i love and swear by now btw)
Doc said on the nights she is NOT exfoliating she uses the butt cream. The butt cream is amazing. That shit really works❤❤❤ ps: she also said you might want to start out with the mask for 5 minutes to see how your skin reacts. Work your way up to toleration then you can sleep with it overnight ❤🎉❤
@melindavalle173 Thank you, Melinda. I'm wondering, though, on the nights we do exfoliate with the mask all night, do we not follow that up with any moisturizer? When I use Good Genes or any other type of exfoliant, I top it with a moisturizer, and I don't exactly love the idea of not using something moisturizing while I sleep.
@@elliebelly456Hi Ellie. My understanding is you sleep with the mask on overnight. The following morning wash your face with water and follow with skincare. I personally cannot tolerate it overnight. I leave it on for about 10-15 minutes, wash off with water, then go to sleep with the butt cream. I wake up with unbelievably soft,soft skin.
I dont wash my face with any cleansers; i dont even wash my face before bed, just wash with cold water in the morning. My skin is gorgeous, get lots of compliments. Less is more? My skin is better at 43 than it was at 33! I have dry sensitive skin, so washing my face less helps my skin's lipid barrier retain its moisture.
But do you wear make up? I have thought about doing this, but I do feel like I need to wear a base face make up and so feel like I need to wash it off at night. Give my skin a break and feel it contaminated at night.
@@coraluz3247 I dont wear any base foundation; i stopped using liquid makeup 3 years ago. I keep it pretty light with powder bronzer and powder contour. I may wear eye makeup once a week if im going out, but then i remove it with an eye makeup remover. I dont use micellar water as it stings like battery acid.
@@coraluz3247I wear eye makeup once a week if im going to a party. Rest of the week i only use powder bronzer and powder contour. I haven't used any liquid base, foundation or concealer in 3 years and my skin is so much better for it.
My mom just joke that she looked like greased pig before bed. She wore this balm from Mary Kay and used vitamin E . This was 70's 80's and it kept her skin looking so soft and hydrated. Something I learned from her thats my skin looking amazing at 54..I use a mix of animal fats beef tallow, camel hump fat ,lard and then shea butter , cocoa butter , beezwax and some essential oil just to cover any smell from the animal fats. I swear by it . I don't have a single wrinkle and my skin it is tight . Highly recommend animal fats because they have natural occurring vitamin A .
But then when do I put retinol? I always struggle with this cause you shouldn’t combine exfoliants with retinol nor with vitamin c serums and I use retinol at night and vitamin c during the day… so then when can I add the exfoliant? I don’t have sensitive skin so I could layer but would the ph of one product disrupt the function of the other?
Can someone please tell me how do people leave pastes on their face for all night without it getting on the sheets, your hair and basically everywhere? Am I just a messy sleeper or what?
I get great results only using a thin layer, applied on damp skin, so it completely rubs in. I have a sheen to my face but it isn’t white. Perhaps a thick layer is even more effective, by my way works great for me! The key for it is damp skin though or it’s hard to rub in!
@@drisshansfreetime453 same. I'm not even a side sleeper, I roll around all night and considering I already have problems falling asleep I can't even think to make it worse like this
Read the labels of the available diaper rash creams in your area. You want one that contains zinc. I found one here in Canada that’s extra strength and I’ve been using that.
In Ireland, it's called Sudocrem. Although there's cheaper versions I think. Once they have zinc oxide, (usually used for nappy/diaper rash) then that is what she is speaking about. 😊
Are there any diaper rash creams that should be avoided? Between Triple paste, Desitin, and Equate from Walmart they have very different ingrediants and strengths of zinc oxide. Is there a zinc oxide level that is too much? Desitin has talc and I know it is an ingredient people avoid in the lower region, but what about your face? Lanolin can cause allergy issues for some people? Just wondering if you have an advice on this subject? Thank you for you videos they are a great help❤❤❤
I've heard that quote before and I was doing all kinds of stuff for a while, it definitely worked but I think my skin got sensitive or something because I started having some issues and acne that wouldn't go away, that eventually got worse lol(it's finally going away now) I use mandelic acid, used to have a glycolic acid toner though, burned sometimes though so idk about trying that again
Why do so many people say zinc oxide is horrible and toxic. I’ve used zinc oxide sunscreen for a long time. I look 10 years younger and have less wrinkles than those younger than me.
Because we have all different types of skin - for example my skin will struggle if i apply it - ill got very sensitive itchy dry skin flakes peeling off. Its all depends individualy
Zinc oxide is less common for skincare in my country. I only found it together with salicylic acid or baby cream for rash but it contain with parfume which my skin sensitive for it. I think these suggestion worth of try, because now i'm sure with my guts that my face couldn't tolerate moisturizer often. Like, AM vit c toner with vit c serum PM vit c toner retinol, other day AM same PM hyaluronic toner with tret cream, and third day AM PM vit c toner hyaluronic serum, than back repeat the cycle. Bruuh my skin keeps getting acnes although not many just one or two but I know I'm doing wrong since retinol and tret always proven amazing to my skin for years already so no not them. Hyaluronic a acid/moisturizer is supposed to used for my skin barrier, that's many says essential when using retinol. I never to rarely to use HA or moisturizer, but then I put it in to my routine, and acne keeps coming. My skin overall okay tho, but having one or two acnes 😅 So, it is a great information to me. Hope change to or add glycolic acid and zinc will make me find my best routine for my clear skin goals.
Do you have any tips for people who wear a CPAP at night? I feel like I can never participate in these things because I have tubing laying across my nose/cheeks at night 🥲
Just let it dry down before you put it on. If you do this an hour before bed or should be dry. And if any gets on the cpap just give it a good wipe down in the morning
Maybe put the mask on for an hour or two then wash it off and moisturize before you go to bed. I would think the acids have enough time to do their job
yes it does, I have the same issue and while the zinc paste reduces redness and makes my skin soft it causes acne. now I only ever use a tiny bit on my nose where it’s the driest on my face
I just wanted to ask, what can I do if I have Melia? (idk if I spelled that correct but its when you have skin bumps and exfoliating irritates it more)
I went and got a facial recently and I have a few of them and they can very quickly and easily take them out for you. Call an esthetician or dermatologist
She sleeps with it on but if you are sensitive and cannot tolerate it that long you can wash it off however long you can stand it, even if it’s just 20 min
