5 Skincare Healthy Habits To Start In The New Year

[@helenduran9326]

I started a little earlier than the new year but I’m currently on day 13 of NO skin picking! My first goal was two weeks and I plan to shoot for 30 once day 14 gets here. It’s been one of the hardest things for me to quit because squeezing blackheads makes me unbelievably satisfied. Wishing everyone luck on their skin goals ❤

[@DrDrayzday]

that is a great goal!

[@Miniblonde-4244]

I pick when I’m anxious 😅 since I got married recently let’s just say my skin isn’t in the best condition.. this is my goal too! I have to convince myself that is okay to have some oil in your pores.

[@AutumnElaine]

​@@Miniblonde-4244I've been told that keeping your nails short, and/or keeping product on them that keeps the edges less "sharp" helps!

[@AutumnElaine]

Such a difficult one! It's very impressive that you can just "quit cold turkey." 😂 Good for YOU.🎉 That's pretty Amazing. Especially if you don't always do it consciously. 😅 Its been a long journey for me, lol. Definitely cant "just quit." Had to incorporate several new habits to break the bad one! I am pretty good about not picking during the day, but if I'm half asleep, I'll wake up and realize I put a hole in the side of my neck because of a tiny bump that was really nothing in all reality 🤦‍♀️ I still have hyperpigmentation from that one! And I usually don't get hyperpigmentation 😂 I started working on my texture because of this, and it's the only thing that has helped, though it is a JOURNEY! I started using something w Retinol and Urea for texture/ hydration/ exfoliation. That's the gold bond body Retinol. I was using it intermittently before, but now I got to where I can convince myself to use it almost every night! For some reason, this 1 step feels like a much bigger commitment to me than my multi step face routine 😂 I had to shift my eating habits and start remembering to rinse and lotion after an early dinner, but *before* chill down time. Not picking seems like a small thing, but it's easily underestimated how many little things can trigger it, and how many tiny changes you may need to incorporate to succeed. The little things can really have a huge change. Massive accomplishment! ! Good luck on your skincare journey this year! ✨️

[@helenduran9326]

@@Miniblonde-4244 it is sooooo hard. Hardest thing I’ve tried to quit because I’m the same, something made me sad? Try and find some blackheads to cheer me up. Anxious? Probably should go pick. Happy? Well I of course deserve to watch a blackhead come out or pop a zit. I obsess over it and I read somewhere that when you pop a pimple and see the result, dopamine is released. Not sure if that is fact but it really does make sense why it’s sooooo adddictive. I made a deal with my partner that if I made it to 14 days then he would give me a really good back massage. It helps not wanting to disappoint him. Unsure whether or not it’s helping because now I see more blackheads than ever and I had a stress pimple flare up which has been HARD not to pop those succulent ready to go whiteheads lol. We’ll see if it helps the amount of acne I get after I go for a longer stint. If this is your goal, you got this!

[@AutumnElaine]

YES! I forgot about some of these. Im going to share a few more that I forget about when things get a little crazy. But remember! The most *important* thing is to maintain your BASIC routine. Have a baseline. If you feel up to extra, do extra! If you don't, that's 100% okay. Its much better to have a basic routine to fall back on, than to be too exhausted mentally & physically for everything you'd like to do. I have to remember this one. Just because I'm *excited* for everything I want to incorporate, doesn't mean it has to be all or nothing. Brush, Wash, Lotion, SPF in AM. If you're doing these things, you're doing this, youre succeeding. I started keeping basics near the bed, so if I'm tired I can stand to wash up, and lotion etc laying down. Its very relaxing. On that note: TARGET your CONCERN. Its easy to get excited and add extra steps. But make sure your targeted concern is a part of your Basics Routine; that helped me a lot. I'm excited about my Copper Peptides, but they don't target my concern. So they can wait when I'm exhausted. 😂 Get a humidifier, and clean it often. I just got one; it made a massive difference in my skin!Wash your TOWELS. Use a different towel for your face, and wash it after 2 uses (bacteria starts to grow afterwards). Don't forget hand towels in bathrooms and kitchens, especially if they're in a humid environment/ commonly used. Remember, you touch your face with those hands! On that note, if you forget to wash your hands before washing your face, applying lotion/SPF/makeup (assuming you're cleaning your makeup brushes weekly 😉) remember those too! 😃 Lotion your body and FEET, too! I had to start keeping lotion and socks/ slippers next to the tub AND my bed, because I'm so bad about this one and simply cant be bothered 🤦‍♀️ I use the Gold Bond with Retinol for my body, so I just put it on my feet too! It's not only handy, but has lots of urea and doesn't feel greasy! On that note: don't forget retinol on your hands! They'll clue people into your age 😅 And don't forget your decolletage! I recently started slipping any excess product from my face down to my neck, chest.. and lower chest 😅 Makes a huge difference! This INCLUDES SUNSCREEN. *However*, remember, your neck cannot handle retinoids like anywhere else on your body. Ive been doing the gold bond Retinol 😂 It hasn't bothered me once. (Seriously, that lotion is a 1-stop shop! Hydrates, the Urea content can exfoliate & does on me, PLUS a Retinol?!) If you were to add 1 thing to your body care, assuming that SPF is already a part of your body care, this product hits so many concerns. Works best after a shower for me! But if youre sensitive to Retinol, maybe start with dry clean skin. 😊 SLEEP! Dr Dray is 100% right about the screens. I have a hard time putting the phone down, so I leave sound on and turn the screen off. You can also dim it, and use eye comfort. I was told that the body learns cues when you walk in a room, smell something, or the light has changed. So I try to take full advantage of that hard-wiring! I use a soft warm light bulb wax melter when I come into the bedroom to start my routine. The lighting changes, eventually it emits my lovely nighttime wax aroma.. and my brain shifts gears. For me, its a great night light, too. Some people like pillow sprays for that smell.. whatever works for you! If the brain is going to trick us, may as well take advantage! Note: for me, it's difficult to ignore stressful texts. Or even the little icon if my phone is on do not disturb. Im fortunate to have a 2nd device to hop onto in order to help my impulse. Whatever way possible, set positive boundaries for yourself. Dr Dray is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about sleep and health. I notice a huge difference when I incorporate these habits or not. Find something that works for you. And if you can't, thats an excellent reason to go see a provider, and establish a relationship with a provider if you don't already have one. Its not a stupid reason to set up an appointment; any decent physician appreciates their patients engaging in their own care.🥰 And once you've seen a provider, its that much easier to ask for help when you need it. If you can't, I highly suggest finding a provider that you *are* comfortable asking for help. It has made a massive difference for me. I think everyone can benefit from that! ❤ I hope at least one of those thoughts helps someone. If you have any suggestions, please share!! I could always use more tips in my arsenal 😂 THANK YOU DR DRAY! I didn't know how much i needed this. Sometimes the most important changes are the small ones, not necessarily the grand ideas that can be overwhelming. I needed that gentle nudge, and now I feel excited. 🥰

[@laurenlewis2949]

Write the date you open a product on the back of it with a sharpie!! You can tape over it with clear tape to make sure it doesn’t wear off. That’s gonna be a new habit for me

[@AllyKit]

I don't want Christmas to be over. Recently I went back and watched all your vlogs from the past two months that I missed. Just wanted to say thank you for the trips to the stores and showing us your decorations. Really enjoy your vlogs over Christmas especially. You help me get in the spirit 🎄🌃

[@Momofukudoodoowindu]

I do this too ♡ I re-watch her vlogs over and over, while I do my morning cardio. There's no other KZbin vlogger who does it quite like Dr Dray does. It just feels so organic and organized. Nothing is forced or overly scripted. God bless you, friend. 😊

[@irisk934]

I love her Vlogs or her shopping videos to keep me company when I'm doing household chores or have anxiety issues. She has so much information in her videos that even if I play them repeatedly, I never get sick of them. Her voice and her presence are so calming to me

[@cynthiavalenzuela4477]

Turning off screens an hour before sleep is one I’m bringing into the new year. It helps me sleep better alongside with taking true calm. Also, I’ve made it a habit to bring my sun hat and sunglasses with me wherever I go, whether it’s rain or shine. Excellent tips as always! Thank you, Dr. Dray.

[@mgon3891]

I keep a couple of hats in my car 👒

[@patwagner9308]

As far as when something expires.....you could put a little notation on the bottle or whatever the product comes in....a fine point permanent marker would come in handy here....the date you open the product could be written on it. I've done this & it's so helpful ! Thank you, Andrea, for excellent videos all year long. They're always enjoyable. It's fun shopping w/you ! And we benefit from your knowledge & training.

[@avinaSolanki]

Loveee loveee loveee from India🇮🇳 dr dray ! From the day i found out your channel was the day i stopped watching other dermatologists ! You deserve much love 🌷🦋

[@debbiekotch6006]

Oh Dr. Dray. I'm guilty of keeping the razor in the shower. PAO of the product didn't know that. Guilty of screen time before bed. Moisturizer and gloves over night, wonderful! Thank you so much Dr. Dray! Happy New Year!

[@labradoodledandies4697]

My favorite hat is the Sundancer from SunDay Afternoons. It has a pleated veil that covers much better than a wide brim, and the chin strap lets me I pop it on my back when I go into a building and pull it up when I go outside. It's always with me.

[@user-ws3xk3mc8j]

Thanks for being such an incredible resource and inspiration here on KZbin! Happy New Year Dr Dray! 🎉

[@LTWILTON]

NEVER EVER HEARD OF PAO BEFORE, I feel like a dunce! Thanks for the info!!!

[@stevedorecharley2849]

I never knew about until I heard it on this channel. It really is important info to know!

[@champagenroses]

Thank you for sharing another informative video 😊 I have noticed that some skin care and cosmetics, have the PAO on the packaging it is helpful in knowing how long the shelf life of any product is once opened. When I have a new mascara that is opened, I mark it down on my calendar - I buy a new mascara after 3 months. Take care everyone 🌹

[@AutumnElaine]

Fantastic idea! I absolutely did not consider makeup 😅

[@joannastrickland6757]

Happy Wednesday! Thank you for your wise words xx

[@amy2brno2b]

That PAO (Period After Opening) number is a real thing, so glad you addressed it! I've totally noticed a difference between how my face reacts to a product when I first get it and how it reacts a number of months later. One product that I really like, Eucerin's Q10, is great at first, but I can't really use it fast enough. Because even using it consistently once a day, after a certain amount of time (haven't kept notes on how long) it starts causing an allergic reaction where my eyes won't stop watering. I have alleviated the issue by not using it around my eyes, because I still really like the product on my skin, but when I get a new jar I don't have to worry about it as there is no reaction yet. I also had an experience with a vitamin C serum that went bad, but it's been so long I forget the details. So glad to know of the PAO code I can look for. Thank you for all your excellent info!!!

[@stevedorecharley2849]

Out of necessity, I starting applying a pretty thick hand cream every time I washed my hands. It’s helped so much. Thank you, Gold Bond Hand Cream, and Gold Bond for Rough and Bumpy Skin with urea. 😊

[@irisk934]

I'm not going to lie, I do love skin care and I tend to stock pile it when there's a sale. Plus I sometimes just by skin care as retail therapy. I am really good about all the skin goals except using a product up soon after opening. But I will try to keep a better eye on it in the future, I will use the older products on my neck or chest or other less sensitive parts of my body.

[@irisk934]

I also stockpile sunscreens but I am very good about the dates. The little expiration dates are so hard to see sometimes, so I take a sharpie and write it across the box or the actual tube immediately after purchase and then put it in my skin care pile. That's a tip if you also tend to hoard skin care like me, just write down on the actual box which one to use next so you don't mistakenly have a product expire on you

[@AutumnElaine]

I STOCKPILE, TOO! Sales are the best. If I understand right, DAO is Date After *Opening*, so you can stockpile as long as you don't open it! 🤩 Plus honestly running out of something can really screw my skin up.. I try to make sure I have at least 1 more on hand if I'm half way through it. I sometimes have less than I thought. Last night I completely ran out of my most essential staple item. Luckily, not only was it on sale, but Amazon got it to me this morning! That never happens! 😂 The most important rule is to DO WHAT WORKS FOR *YOU*! I say Stockpile away! Lol, or at least I will be 😂 Good luck this year with your goals! ✨️

[@marylawman8603]

Thanks so much for these tips, Dr Dray! One thing I've done for the last few weeks is turn everything off at a reasonable hour. I was only getting 4-5 hours of sleep at night which I know is horrible and I would have trouble getting up and was feeling so exhausted. Best thing I could have done! I still read before going to sleep but I'm going to bed much earlier because of shutting everything off. It's been hard to do since I find myself going down the KZbin rabbit hole but so worth it. I feel and look much more rested. Happy Wednesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a blessed evening. 💕

Ever since I was little, my mom used to take a Sharpie marker and label an item with the date it was opened of first used-soaps, shampoo, toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. It served two purposes: gave her an idea of how long it takes her to finish a product and also when it’s time to toss.

I will certainly incorporate the last one no matter what ❤. Because today i visited my doctor because my big toe nail was hurting me like a stinging sensation and he said paronychia but not severe it hadn't form pus or any fluid whatsoever. The treatment was foot baths with iodine povidone scrub and fucidin cream topically till the redness and uncomfortable sensation subsidies. But the thing that told me is to moisturize my feet in order to prevent that from happening again😊. So Doctor Andrea it is already in my top to do list of things i will do in order to make my lifestyle even better 😊❤👍.

YES! Omg so helpful. Eucerin and gold bond both have lotions high in urea and it helps me so much. I keep lotion and socks next to the bed AND tub, because my feet feel so much less important.. until they are feeling the consequences! 😂 Plus, same lotion is good for the hands, right?! So I keep them everywhere! 😂 Good luck on your skincare journey ✨️

[@irisk934]

San Diego hat company makes a good one. She has recommended this before, it might be in her Amazon video. She definitely has a couple of hats she loves.

Thanks Dr Dray. I store my razor in the shower and I have a cluster of flat warts above my right knee :( now I've transferred them to my face

Dr. Dray love your videos. QUESTION: Does it work to spray hats with sunscreen? Will that help protect my skin? Thanks in advance!

I struggle with skin picking. Hair under my arms bothers me so I use tweezers and it just doesn’t end well. Razor doesn’t get rid of all of it. Bulb is still visible because I have such fair skin.

Happy New Year Dr Andrea! My skincare resolution is to remove my makeup earlier when I get home :)

Am 71 years old and still wanted a good skin. Can you recommend cheaper skin product. I belong to a dry ad dull skin but never experience pimples, acne , melasma in my face. The problem is deep wrinkles in my face especially in the forehead . Still wanted to have a good skin.

Merry Christmas Dr. Dray! 🎄🥳 I just wanna asked can I used a moisturizer that has 3.5% urea, ceramides and oats in gel form moisturizer together with Skinoren (Azelaic acid cream) in the same routine specifically at night? Btw, I have oily sensitive (mild rosacea) acne prone skin. Please notice me 🙏🏻🫂 Thank you so much 🥹🫂🙏🏻

Working in healthcare and going patient to patient my poor hands suffer and the older I get the worse they get. I'm going to try and keep a lotion in my pocket!

[@passagetonow1229]

I recall that you mentioned D E J eye cream as one of the few you liked. Is that still true. It's pricey but I like it.
