To all the people that have trouble with picking, try to avoid looking in the mirror, wash your face with the lights off, place a band aid on top of a problematic pimple when you're at home (to avoid looking at it), and keep your hands busy (exercise, knit, play an instrument, play with your pets). Meditating can be helpful if you pick due to anxiety.

[@samzetnick4558]

Yes! Also plain hydrocolloid pimple patches to act as a “bandaid” and to helpfully/ non-harmfully extract some of the contents of the blemishes! I also agree with not looking in the mirror as well! Or even just limiting the up-close mirror to solely when needed in applying makeup

[@beckyenglish4783]

Thanks - I’m 48 for heaven’s sake, and STILL find any little bump impossible to ignore! To younger viewers: I am currently spending thousands of dollars having regular Fraxel in order to try and deal with the pitted skin I was left with due to SQUEEZING and PICKING every little blemish I could find (since the age of 14)... Thank goodness I’ve always looked after my skin and used SPF, or who knows WHAT I’d look like now!

I don’t leave comments on KZbin ever but I really need to thank you Dr Dray - your channel has changed my skin and my self confidence ❤️ after so many years of treating acne, over exfoliating, spending money on gimmick ingredients and falling for skincare myths of avoiding dimethicone and petrolatum my skin was dehydrated super oily and always looking very red. Just following 2 weeks of your videos and changing my skincare routine to focus on repairing my skin barrier I’m already seeing a massive difference and my skin is happy!!! You have also motivated me to wear sunscreen and reapplying during the day even when I’m indoor, something that I would have never imagined myself doing :) so glad that KZbin recommended one of your videos and led me here 🥳

[@lindseystein9676]

Now that all of this info is coming out about how bad tanning is, I’m so so so glad I stuck to no tanning. I was born in ‘87, so when I was a teen it was super popular to tan. I have very pale skin and didn’t want to turn orange, so I never went. I can’t tell you the number of times someone said “omg, you’re so pale why don’t you go tanning?” I remember girls in my high school tanning themselves orangey in a tanning bed (spray tans weren’t really a thing yet) and I’d be thinking “why?”

[@haboba3jooz549]

Dr Dray, you changed my life today! Literally, I’m not kidding. I’ve been having a terrible itchy bumps on my head for almost 20 years. All this time I‘ve been trying to find the reason. Doctors in Russia, in Israel, in Germany - all were saying „It is just in your head“ or „I don’t see anything at all“. Only one doctor have found „folliculitis“ and prescribed a steroid ointment. This worked, but temporary. And today I heard from you this word „prurigo“. Yeah, it worths mentioning, I’m a MD myself, but not so derm-educated, you know. I found some information, and now I’m sitting with Fenistil tab in my tummy and I’m so grateful. Thank you!

So..... I watch you everyday. Practically all day. Even when I’m cooking, or cleaning, I have your videos playing in the background. I have probably heard everything you have to say, and several of your videos I have re-watched several times. You might be the most informational, knowledgeable, helpful KZbinr I have ever watched. And I take your advice to heart. I used to be one of those “hippies“ that only used “natural“ or “chemical free“ products. Made my own for years. My skin was always mad. And you have taught me why! You have literally transformed my skin in the past couple years… and I am grateful. But....... I like to smell good. I like to smell pretty. Whatever that means lol. I don’t use fragrance in any of my facial products anymore. And I try to be careful with the body lotions I put on my body, but I do admit, some of them contain fragrance. I just like to smell good! You must have suggestions, I saw a video the other day where you were talking about perfume oil roll-on’s, applying them to your wrist. Can you pretty pretty pretty please make a video about what kind of fragrances we can use? Whether that is shampoo and conditioner, perfume oil, or scented baby powder. I don’t care I just need to know what you suggest, if we can use anything at all, or if we should avoid everything. I was under the impression that you suggested we avoid everything, until I saw you in Whole Foods talking about those perfume roll ones . Please elaborate more on that! I think it’s safe to say that I am not the only one who would benefit from this type of video… I know a lot of people are struggling with this. Thank you Dr!!

[@belladonna9227]

never use acrylic or shellac or gel but mavala’s many treatments are good for general nail health. press on nails are okay but it’s going to weaken the nail because of the glue and constant pressure. if you catch your nail on something not only is it going to have pressure from the force it’s also going to have pressure and stress from the press on nail lifting up from the nail. always use a crystal nail file (glass are no good) and don’t clip the nail right down to the bottom of the nail where it meets yourself finger because it causes stress and can cause ingrown nails especially on toenails.

Encourage her to stop. Show her articles (reliable) on how smoking and tanning is bad for you and show her products with good reviews that could help her skin. Tell her you love her and you want what’s best for her health. Keep encouraging your mom, you want her to quit. If you’re young ask her if she wants to see you grow and become a successful person. I hope this helps ❤️

Try this. My dad is 58, smoked all his life, as a result has blood pressure issues, breathing issues, I aired vision and hearing. Looks wise, he looks young. Funny isn't it.

[@wendyhardman8075]

Can you PLEASE do a video about the alleged harms of sunscreen? I ALWAYS use sunscreen and when I try to urge my friends to use it, they argue that the Ingredients in sunscreen cause cancer and are more harmful than the damage caused by the sun. I’d love to see a scientifically supported video talking about this issue. What is the cost/risk ratio of sunscreen use? Is there any real science behind sunscreen being more harmful for the body than it is good for the skin?

[@louisee782]

Can you still have premature aging affects from people around you smoking

[@jt8142]

Yes

[@justanotheranonymousaccoun6365]

Yep. Exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke can accelerate skin aging - there’s actually research on this! Secondhand exposure isn’t quite as bad as actually smoking tobacco products yourself, but the risks are still pretty high.

[@TheSnowReport28]

I’m sure you could. Maybe not immediately noticeable but over extended periods of time I’d imagine it would leave it effects.

[@7lawaneeena]

Plsss help, is incense bad for skin and lungs? Is it bad over time???

[@priscillanieto3322]

I've heard the opposite, that secondhand smoke can be worse because your body isn't used to it like someone who actually smokes and regularly at that.

I had a really bad reaction to lime juice from my drink on my skin in Mexico. I ended up with horrible welts that have left ugly red marks on my thighs, so be careful with lemons and limes in the sun!

[@reviewunboxinges3228]

Glad that I only love fruit juice , I'm 40 and usually embarrassed 😋 to order fresh squeeze or blended fruit juice while my friends order alcoholoc beverages because I have heart desease so I never smoke. I take warfarin so I cant prick any pimples or I will bleed and also I am taking anti migraine , anti allergy thats why I am not allowed to be under direct sunlight. Wow for the 1st time , my risky desease gave me a good positive benefit ...wow...

Whenever I tell people tips about skincare I was told by my dermatologist, they always ask who I see. I tell them the one and only Dr. Dray🙌🏼 Every video is like an office visit for me😂Love you Dr. and thanks for all you do!!!

[@kittyhawkish]

In my dermalogica-partnered esthetics school they gave us a big set of extractors in our kits we paid for and pretty much just said "just press from this angle and have fun and be yourself and if you have a lancet at work hide it because it's illegal" ah yes just give all us 20 year old high school grads our lancets what could go wrong

[@Deraremeisjes]

Thank you for the little lecture about vitamin D! My deficiency was quite severe that it even led to bone-pain. The sun isn’t very potent where I live so I assume that those few minutes might not be enough. I have to supplement, but knowing that it wasn’t necessarily due to my use of sunscreen is great to know 👍🏻

Wish you'd do a video on caring for your skin after receiving radiation. My dad is two years out from radiation on his face, and is still dealing with incredible dryness, and super sensitivity. He uses the Cicplast balm on his face most nights and still has flaking.

[@lonelybutterfly5988]

If he hasn't already tried, the cerave healing ointment is wonderful for very dry flaky skin. It's even great using over top of the cicaplast balm. I hope he finds something that gives his skin some relief.

What’s your thoughts about derma rolling with the tiny needles?

she said no to them. They create tiny scarring in your skin basically. They're super bad for your skin. Throw it away.

Do you wash your hands after putting sunscreen on? Wouldn't the sunscreen on the back of the hands and fingers be washed away? Do we need sunscreen for the palm of hands?

[@k79311]

I would like more detail on this point of how exactly to manage frequent washing and sunscreen practices

[@o0Avalon0o]

I put suncreen my face & body, wash my hands, then put a blob of suncreen on the back of one hand, then rub the backs of my hands together, while rubbing excess into my wrists without touching the inside of my hands at all. I've never gotten a palm burn but if I don't make sure my palms are free of sunblock, I will at some point touch my eye & get that burning sunblock-in-eye feeling. *Maybe her vid on frequent hand-washing will help you? I can't remember it perfectly but her content is always helpful.

[@conversationswithkat5710]

@@o0Avalon0o I thought I was the only one who did this! Lol!

[@Wparr1]

I always put sunscreen on the back of my hands, even backs off my fingers. That's how you can tell people's actual age. I wish I knew app of this when I was a teenager. So much damage done then. After going to Thailand for 3 weeks and not reapplying because I didn't know back then, my friend noticed my skin had so many sunspots now. Wearing my mask has been great as it's been really great for sun protection along with my sunscreen!

[@o0Avalon0o]

@@conversationswithkat5710 Yay, I'm not the only one either! I also got gloves for fall or when I forget to sunblock my hands. Honestly, investing in nice pleather driving gloves has already paid for itself.

[@pudrox]

I've actually been wondering about "the other things" I have recently quit cigarettes and noticed a difference in my skin in about 1 week. I have no desire to quit the other stuff, but I have noticed I have less desire to do it. I would assume vaping or edibles are much safer options and they usually are considered better on the lungs due to the reduced or lack of tar.

[@sabinewatchesvids1916]

11:07 omg! I actually use those for my blackheads not in my pimples though, I use it in my blackheads in my nose to remove the clogged pores in my nose, they're really disgusting, should I stop using it for my nose? I think it's the only way I can remove my clogged pores, any tips dr. Dray? xx

[@db-gb5xi]

Dr Dray has videos on blackheads and their removal. Just search her videos.

[@belalugosisdead4444]

You should chemically exfoliate and drop extraction tools all together

[@NsIX3]

I'm really trying to stop numbers 3 and 4. I get into these weird picking modes these days due to stress, and just sit there and squeeze/extract crap out of my pores. Mainly on my shoulders/arms, did a real number on my face recently that left me with a lot of hyper pigmentation. Just started 10mg/day accutane a few days ago, so hopefully that'll help turn things around. I'm 100% sure that my acne is hormonal, caused by stress. The stress makes me mess with it, just a vicious cycle.
