I started getting bad hand eczema/dermatitis a few years ago and working hands (both the tub and the tubes) literally save my hands from cracking open if I use them every night. Actual miracle product
They make fantastic lip balms as well, my other half and I work outside and in the winter especially, my lips get so dry and cracked - O’Keefe’s lip balm fixes that right up. Definitely worth a try if you struggle with that too 😊
@@whitneythomas42 the only real difference between body products and face products is that body tend to be a little richer/oilier and also are more likely to have fragrance. But realistically there's nothing stopping you from trying it on your face (spot test on your neck or jaw and give it 36-48 hours to see if it triggers anything before using it all over). For example, I use Weleda hand cream on my face, and it works great. I have fairly sensitive skin and the formulation just happens to not bother me. For some people, it's too rich and breaks them out.
Yes please, I’ve been really struggling with hormonal acne flareups for the last 4-5 months. I’m also already using Retin a and Spironolactone so idk what else I can do 😭
gonna sound so dumb: drink a gallon of water. i changed birth controls recently, so my hormonal acne is CRAZYYY. i’ve been drinking a gallon of water a day for 4 days and i can see it starting to clear up. also, find products that work with your skin, you wanna find your skin type and use products to match that. there’s also adalpeline (i spelt it wrong im sure) gel you can use ONLY on your zits, and it helps them go away, i recommended the laroche posay one when i worked in a dermatology office to everyone who had hormonal acne issues. also, invest in some sort of pimple patch, not for the sake of removing the patch, but to prevent you from wanting to touch the pimple and make your acne worse
@@trishapaytaskitchenfloor no it's not dumb at all, i really need to cut down on sugary drinks! Im going back to my habit of drinking lots of water now. It's hard what with the weather in asia where u're always craving for some cold sugary drinks haha. but thanks! ive started using la roche posay effaclar duo recently and it works wonder to keep the hormonal acne down. Gonna invest in pimple patches and sulphur (pimple paste) soon. Thank you dear stranger on the internet!
Also, the active ingredient in diaper rash ointments is zinc oxide which is what provides the redness and irritation relief, so if you want some redness relief in the morning you can get sunscreen that’s zinc oxide based and you’ll get the benefits of sun protection as well as calming irritation. ✌️
@@watchingju5939 when you gently work it in, it disappears rather quickly. After a few minutes it didn’t look pasty at all, just hydrated (and I’m not a light-skinned person)
@@watchingju5939there are better zinc sunscreen formulas out there now! They make ones that are slightly tinted to help cancel out the white cast, they do act a bit as a foundation though so some people have trouble getting color matches.
Highly recommend the hand cream for my fellow food service/retail employees too! I’ve been a meat cutter for about 7 years now, and I swear by it on account of working in a cold environment where we also regularly clean equipment with warm/hot water and chemicals.
If it’s extreme, you must see a dermatologist. I got prescribed on Doxycycline for 1 month and then Accutane for 3 months. Still have a few acne tho but a lot has cleared up.
I was losing my hair from a bad reaction to Pattern shampoo and conditioner. I switched to using Nizoral thanks to your suggestion and it completely reversed the issue that brand caused. So nice to have my fullness back. also, I used working hands when I was a dog groomer and it was an absolutely miracle
Yes, part two would be great! Also, can you please make a video about hair thinning for women going through menopause? I have lotst so much hair after having had my kids a few years ago, plus with having covid a couple of times, my hair has also been affected by that. What can I do to help my hair from thinning and hopefully growing it back?
The dandruff shampoo she mentioned has Ketozone in it which can help slow down hormone based hair loss which may be what you are experiencing (I am no expert). In her videos that I have seen on hair loss she says to go to a dermatologist as quickly as possible once you notice hair loss and you often underestimate how much hair loss there is. If that is unaffordable for you then I’d still recommend trying to research online if you can get products you can get over the counter or if you need to see a gp to prescribe you something.
I’m in the exact boat as you! The nizoral shampoo that she showed in this video is what she suggest. Twice a week. Wet your scalp and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes. She also suggest minoxidil 5% (the men’s because the woman’s cost more). Since beginning the nizoral shampoo (which is ketakonazole 1%-it’s an androsterone blocker, andosterone caused hair loss, if I understood that properly) I have noticed a difference with how much hair I am losing each time I shampoo or brush. She does explain that once you start these, you have to continue, otherwise you will once again begin to have the same symptoms of hair loss.
@@carynmartin6053 That’s great! I used to use a prescription for the same reason, my Dr is hesitant to refill it. Who knows why? I’ve found that this stuff she suggested will also help with the yeast. If you ever get in a bind. It did for me anyway.
Hi Dr Shereen, Question: You had told us about vegetable glycerine and distilled water in a mister for our face. Please tell us how often and when to/not to use it please? Thank you!
Nizoral IS A GOD SEND. I had a flaky scalp FOR YEARS and tried everything including natural oils, head spas, and head&shoulders to no avail. I used nizoral ONCE and my scalp was restored back to factory settings. ❤ best purchase of the year.
Nizoral is wonderful as a backup for sebderm!! Unfortunately it’s more of a “cure all” for regular dandruff. If you have dandruff, acne on forehead or along your hairline, and dry/rough spots around your hairline as well I’d def see a derm before starting Nizoral. A temporary RX ketoconazole might work a lot better.
@@crisfer22 that just means your derm gave you a lower percentage. Some people are prescribed 2%. Also going to a drugstore is easier to access than a derm appointment to renew rx.
I use Nizoral on my face, especially since I sometimes get flaky skin around my nose. My one problem is I find it super drying. I tend to dilute it quite a bit for my face to help but a good moisturizer afterwards is a MUST.
The working hands hand cream is actually amazing, i always repurchase it, better than any fancy hand cream I tried. Also, Nizoral shampoo for dandruff works great. I used it when I had very oliy scalp and dandruff.
L'occitane is very expensive, but Garancia is not far from it in terms of efficiency 😊 Btw : as a french citizen living in the south of France, i had no idea our local cosmetic was known overseas 😅
@@alexiawagner2514 L'élixir du marabout. Le sérum a réglé mes problèmes de peau tout en me laissant un impression de fraîcheur immaculée à chaque application... Perso j'adore, vraiment !
I understand your interest in food and its impact on skin health, but it's important to note that dermatologists specialize in skin disorders and treatments rather than nutrition. As much as I appreciate Dr. Idriss's content, she is not the right person to ask this. Even if a dermatologist were to offer dietary advice, it would likely lack substantial scientific backing. Here's why: 1) Lack of Incentive for Research: Any research is expensive and requires funding. While research institutes and pharmaceutical companies fund studies regarding skin disease, studies on skin appearance and beauty are funded solely by the beauty industry, which primarily funds research that aligns with their product development goals. Since they profit from skincare products, there's little incentive to invest in studying the effects of food on skin appearance. 2) Complexity of Research: Conducting rigorous studies on the effects of diet on skin appearance is incredibly challenging. Maintaining strict dietary controls among participants for a significant duration is difficult, and individual differences in genetics, gut microbiome, environment, and lifestyle further complicate the matter. 3) Subjectivity of "beautiful skin": Beauty is subjective, making it challenging to measure scientifically. What one person considers beautiful skin may differ from another's perception. However, while direct evidence may be lacking, we can draw insights from research on overall health and longevity. Studies on blue zones, where people live longer and healthier lives, emphasize the importance of balanced nutrition and lifestyle habits. Here's what we can learn: - Prioritize whole foods like fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, lean proteins, and fiber. - Embrace social eating and physical activity. - Cultivate meaningful relationships and purposeful living. - Minimize stress and maintain a positive outlook on life. By focusing on these broader lifestyle factors, we can enhance overall health, which may indirectly contribute to skin health. Instead of fixating on "forbidden" foods, promoting a fearful and stressful relationship with our nutrition (which is not healthy for us) let's adopt a balanced approach that prioritizes enjoyment and nourishment. In essence, while specific dietary recommendations for achieving "beautiful skin" lack scientific support, embracing a holistic approach to health and wellness can benefit not only our skin but our overall well-being.
In my experience, my skin looks worse on sugar, flour and processed foods. And best in healthy fats (avocado, olives / olive oil, even butter!), meat (especially fish and eggs), and lots of green veggies. Sugar gives me acne! And can pronounce fine lines. Oh and lord if hydration helps!
Thank you for your super amazing tips. Please make a video on local burns on arms and hands,...when cooking and you are left with scars from taking things out of the oven for instance. "Could you please suggest something that can help fade the scars?"
I’m a newly psoriasis girly. I’d love the tips and tricks. How do you get rid of the red after a flare up? Also I have it on my face. What can I do? I use mad hippie skin care line, any thoughts on the line as a whole and specifically when you have psoriasis? What about coal tar?
I've started using triple paste and nizoral (and a sulfur mask, not mentioned here but it'll probably be in part 2) and my skin has never been better! This is the best skincare channel.
@@kristinamisegan1803 Yep. I use the triple paste as a final step after my usual routine once a week, like a sleep mask. For context my nighttime moisturizer is The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.
How do you get it off in the morning?! I tried it once. I still had a thin latter in the morning and I felt like any benefit I got from it was cancelled out by me having to wash my face repeatedly to remove it.
@@lisac4493 Maybe try a thinner layer? I haven't run into this issue. There's usually a thin layer still there in the morning but it washes off no problem. In the morning I use either an Axis-y or la roche-posay cleanser. It might have to do with the number of products used before applying the triple paste, so it can't 'stick' to the skin as much, maybe? Maybe a thicker layer of moisturizer before sealing it with the paste? Idk, might take some trial and error.
I find anti dandruff shampoo great as a regular facial cleanser. I tend to get redness and irritation around my nose area also have flaky skin under my eyebrows. I have acne and currently using tretinoin so my skin is a bit extra sensitive. So on a random day last winter I tried using an anti dandruff shampoo cause I ran out of my cleanser and damn I'm never buying any extra facial cleanser ever again!
@@Roggerrabb1t more specific shampoos like Nizoral or Dandrazol that contain ketoconazole. Your basic dandruff shampoos don't have this ingredient. Ketoconazole is an anti fungal ingredient which combats severe dandruff and dermatitis, which is how it is also effective on your facial skin.
Do you have any advice how to treat extremely itchy skin on the body,- the kind that drives you crazy if you can't give it an immediate rough, deep scratch? Which of course worsen the problem. Cortison products can only be used for a limited time, and various recommended pharmasuitical products have not provided any sufficient help for the problem. My father has this problem, so he is an elderly, mature gentlemen. I'd be very grateful if you have any recommendations. The whole family wishes for him to get rid of this painful skin condition. Thank you.
I hope your father has had a doctor visit for this itch? It sounds very much like my atopic dermatitis. I don’t get great relief from the Rx cream but it’s better than nothing. Good luck!
I use the vaseline coco butter chapstick under my eyes and crows feet area sll the time snd im motiving a difference in being hydrated, less wrinkles and creping and stops my makeup from looking cakey under my eyes! Dark cricles and puffyness got eliminated by at least 50% so far...knly been about 3 weeks but its great! And smells yummy!!!!
I use nizoral once a year for a few weeks cause my hair takes forever to dry and I definitely get fungal dandruff, and every time my scalp is so much happier after it.
Dr Idriss ❤ could you please give us advice on these two things: 1. Easy ways for a teenager athlete to make sure their stay hygienic, safe from bacteria 2. Advice on how to treat properly a wound plus cosmetic aftercare. Example: a deep "burn" from skin to grass friction due to a fall during football playing THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Something to note. Make sure you have buttne and not foliculitis. I have foliculitis and what finally saved me after years of a red sore bum covered in bumps was moisturizers like crazy.
I have well water and wash my hands a lot. This makes my hands look so leathery and papery. I started washing my hands with Cervae with the squaline in it and putting the OKeefs on my hands and layering aquaphor on top. My hands now look 10 years younger
Maybe I'm poor but as someone that literally needs nizoral it's 20+ bucks for a single bottle that'll last 2 months if your scalp struggles. It's worth it if you really really struggle with scalp pain, psoriasis or dermatitis. If you have mild dryness I don't see this helping the majority of people. It's so incredibly stripping and harsh. I would say it's a last resort at best and not a cheap low commitment item. Nizoral literally makes my hair squeak like plastic.
I want to add onto my previous point because these "filter myself to h3ll yet CAN YOU BELIEVE IM 40?!? I SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE CRYPT KEEPER!!" influencers feel so incredibly inauthentic. My dry skin is no longer dry due to better moisturizers and less stripping face wash. Not hitting my skin with bleach and steel wool.
Omg working hands is a whole new level. I used to get frost bites all the time while living in NY and I saw it at the market and I was like "this is my last hope". It really paid off.
I'm on BHRT And the acne that I get is totally different than anything I've ever had. Nothing works to address this type of hormonal acne. Would you have any recommendations on treating this type of acne? I don't want to give up BHRT because it has saved my mental health.
Hiblicens for booty acne, triple paste for face irritation, working hands for hands duh and nizoral shampoo for flaky/hair loss and redness around the nose. Ur welcome :)
*Girl, as if you've EVER made a video that we didn't want a part 2 for* Btw I have most of these items (only thanks to Dr. Idriss!) I started using Nizoral on my face, Kate Somerville sulfur mask, Hibiclens on my thighs, retin A and diaper rash cream on my face (every other day). HOLY COW MY SKIN LOOKS AMAZING. Sounds like all I need now is the Working Hands cream 😊
Got me on Hibiclens cleanser I’ve used before the pandemic and after. Never knew other uses for it. Also Nizoral mixing it with shampoo already have such as for all colored treated hair, I’ve dyed my hair since I was 18 back in 2008 early before adulting into 20s.
In addition to shampoo is it best to also purchase the conditioner There's a conditioner with salicylic acid and one with just the moisturizer seven actives
Hi Dr Idriss. Could you please tell me how does Nizoral help with hair loss? Can any dandruff shampoo help with this or only this brand? Love the videos. Thank you. ❤🙏🇬🇧
