I just wanted to say that I love the drugstore/Walmart/Target videos that you make. A lot of the skincare "influencers" chase expensive, hyped up products trying to get more views or affiliate money but you are a good doctor and emphasize simplicity and frugality along with science, research, and critical thinking about formulations. I've found that I already used a lot of what you recommend being a guy just trying to keep things simple, but your videos have really gave me insight onto why I'm using what I use and why it's better to keep it simple.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks

[@hibosamatar3224]

Ryan Sawadichai Amen!

[@AC-wm8fi]

Well said!

[@amyzax485]

I like to keep it simple...

[@NurseScience]

Dr. Dray, some of us as doctors too, although not specializing in dermatology, who appreciate the evidence-based skin care advice. And you even include peer-reviewed references?! You are so innovative and a joy to watch. I am very impressed. Dr. Yap

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@trishabee2229]

I love at the beginning of every video you say oh hey guys like you didn't know we were there it's the best. I actually feel like I'm in your room or your bathroom and you're telling me about your skin care

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@clawmachinetime955]

Grow up

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

Happy Monday! 🌞 I love when you become the The Mythbuster of Skincare! Too many girls and women are self-diagnosing re: mineral oil, silicones, etc. They use one product with one of these ingredients... they “break out” and immediately think mineral oil or silicones, etc is the culprit. Meanwhile, they’re using products with well over 50 ingredients! I’m sure some have valid issues, but they make everyone else fear these ingredients! I’m using less products with less ingredients along with Differin and my skin is looking better than in the past 4 years! Thank you! :-)😁💖

[@moniquem9609]

HI Gina thanks for sharing your beauty tips. Thanks Dr.Dray ,this was such a great video.Since your videos my skin has improved .I am finding less is so much better for me.

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

monique m You’re very welcome, Monique! But it’s all advice from my NYC Dermatologist and Dr Dray. ;-) 😉

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

Jackie Marsh Hey, Jackie! Happy Monday! Not sure it’s still Monday wherever you are. Lol! :-)😉😃 Big hugs back! I hope you had a wonderful Monday. Xoxo Gina :-)😊

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

Jackie Marsh You are always so kind! Having “met” you has been an unexpected bonus on the good Doc’s channel. You contribute so much positivity, dear friend! Thanks! :-) 😊

[@inprogress36]

Gina your recommendation of cerave in tub to use on the face and around the eyes was phenomenal. No stinging of the eyes at all. Thank you so much. It's a game changer for me. Have a wonderful day!

[@marimedgal]

“Keep is simple and your skin will thank you.” Great advice from Dr. Dray. ❤️ 💐 🦋

[@melodymoonrio]

Who would dislike this video?! What could you not like about this video? It’s a dermatologist giving you information that will actually benefit you. I thoroughly enjoyed this video btw, I too love aveeno since I’ve struggled with eczema since I was a baby.

[@nickylapiel2675]

Some people threatened by science and the truth? 🙄😏

[@macabremom7790]

Maybe some hater in the beauty industry?

[@theywalkinguptoyouand4060]

Beauty vloggers who like to sell lies for profit?

[@DonnaMarie12637]

jenilee972 nothing is “obvious” when it comes to people you don’t know, so don’t make assumptions. She gives great advice

[@AndreaHa]

My toddler has eczema and aveeno saved him! I tried many other creams and washes before sticking to aveeno. It is the best!!!

[@vchafab]

Thank you so much Dr. Dray!! I truly appreciate everything you do for us. Can we please have a morning routine for mature skin as well?

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

My dermatologist in NYC is also a minimalist. She also tells me to keep it simple. Every time I stray - she knows immediately! ;-) 😉

[@DrDrayzday]

that is how we like it, lol!

[@luisaperales7057]

Yes I hope viewers realize how lucky we are to have Dr Dray. I've seen dermatologists in Latin America, the US and in Europe (because I moved many times) and their advise is more or less the same as as Dr Dray's. In the US they all recommend the same brands (Cerave, Elta MD and Neutrogena, in my experience). Dr Dray's channel is unique in that it offers the state of the arts in dermatological recommendations.

[@luisaperales7057]

PS In Europe and Latin America they recommend also La Roche Possay because it is more readily available and Avene as well.

[@luisaperales7057]

The reason they all recommend the same (wearing sunscreen, avoiding botanical oils, etc) is because their advice is actually based on science, unlike most youtube videos.

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

Dr Dray Great news! Haven’t had a scolding since I’ve been watching and following your videos! LOL! 😉😂

[@raquels1293]

I've been trying to understand my skin for so long and your channel has cleared up so much for me. (Pun intended) After changing my cleanser to a non irritating one, I still had eczema on my cheeks. When I put on my "organic" moisturiser tonight I finally realized a slight stinging on my face where my eczema is. I checked ingredients again and I had rosemary essential oil! I would have never guessed! I'm going to get a new one tomorrow. Thank you!

[@Mibular]

Hi Dr. Dray, I've been following your advice for 3 months (mature skin). You've helped me, with making great choices.

[@janec5327]

My routine: Hada-Labo oil, Zapzyt cleanser or Neutrogena creamy cleanser, Aveeno night cream, and Neutrogena Retinol SA .Your knowledge has changed my skin life. Thank you so much!!

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@donniedarko448]

I've been eyeing the Neutrogena Retinol SA for some time... is it irritating?

[@carolhartley9305]

JC all this time I didnt realize to use the retinol AFTER my night cream. Eye opener ! Gonna give that a try!

[@sophiafoster2499]

Could you make a video about how expired makeup/products effects the skin? Will using them cause acne or bumps on the skin

[@lindam653]

b &gm h

[@yume816]

Don't risk it. My mother faced severe pigmentation all over from using expired mosturizer.

[@kevinjanghj]

Probably rashes from disintegrated or separated actives which do not work anymore.

[@emma.ca0]

I think this should be obvious by two years ago now but of course

[@electrictwilight]

Oh my god, all of your videos are such a breath of fresh air. No 15 product routine that costs 1000s of dollars.

[@Jojosmom]

Yasss!! I have sensitive skin and I love using mineral oil to take off my waterproof mascara and full foundation. Plus it was $3 at my local grocery store for a bottle that’ll last me a year!

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@user-tb5fc6yr7o]

Do you find it hard to rinse off? I think I might have used too much, I had a really hard time removing it

[@CirquedJoy]

I know I've commented this before, but I love Aveeno Eczema Therapy. It's turned me into an Aveeno fangirl because of how quickly it cleared up a skin issue I had on my face while I was pregnant.

[@jddancingqueen]

I’ve been using Differin for anti-aging since January. I had a brief period of irritation but it passed and now my skin has never looked better!

[@DrDrayzday]

so glad to hear it is going well Ms Jenny

[@jcramirez2233]

Aveeno ultra calming is amazing. It saved me so to speak from Cetaphil face wash eye burning sensation.

[@tvloonie111]

THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. DRAY!!!!! You are saving my skin and my wallet with your no-nonsense and manageable approach to skincare. :)

[@mrizzygreen]

please more videos on rosacea!

[@smsu5612]

Yes, I agree

[@Sherriron48]

I agree, also.

[@k.ambriz9789]

Yes please

[@joannebaker5810]

Would really appreciate too :)

[@singasonglee]

Hi Dr. Dray! Could you do a vid on laundry detergents one of these days? Like what ingredients to look for, what to avoid, etc. And obviously, the ones that are suitable for sensitive skin? Always love watching you. Thanks again!

[@katydid5088]

All free and clear or tied free (in the white bottle) are good. No fragrance, cheap, and if you're into the waste free products they sell it in a powder form in a cardboard box.

[@kevinzhang8818]

Thank you thank you thank you! for confirming that using moisturizer alone can help with acne. Honestly I've been desperate to treat my acne and my face has got so irritated with all sorts of treatments. However I did find that using a moisturizer alone had made my face so calm and soothed.

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@amyener]

YESSSSSSSS!!!

[@nishtasnim]

totally ditching the expensive cleansing oils for mineral oil :3

[@kr16794]

Great video! I am enjoying using Cerave in the tub at the moment. I live in a hot desert climate and I sleep under the AC at night, it really drys my skin out. I find the Cerave cream provides deep hydration til the morning unlike any other moisturiser I have tried. Without being overly heavy and oily. I would love to try the Aveeno balm and cleanser too now. Thanks for the recommendation! Have a good day x

[@dmurphy7951]

Katie Rotgans which cravae

[@Alisha21210]

@@dmurphy7951 it's probably the straight CeraVe cream in a tub. Not am or pm

[@calvinryanines7254]

The simple cleansing oil is a nice affordable drugstore oil cleanser. No no nonsense and removes makeup well

[@DrDrayzday]

i did not care for that one as much...it is mostly grapeseed oil and i thought it smelled odd, but it is decent

[@Growstuff70]

A friend passed her Neutragena retinol to me and I’ve been using it and probably will continue to use it. It hasn’t done squat for my wrinkles, but I have seen good improvement in my skin-so I would recommend it.

[@DrDrayzday]

it is a pretty nice moisturizer, if anything

[@melissahassberger7651]

I’ve used mineral oil to remove makeup and then cleanse with Dove beauty bar for final cleanse. I don’t understand why makeup gurus say mineral oil is not good. I have sensitive skin and mineral oil works wonderfully. I’m glad you reinforced that.

[@user-rp6mm9gp7e]

You know it's a legit video when there are scientific articles listed in the description bar :) Thanks for all the videos!

[@DrReedB0928]

Yayyyy! I haven't even watched this yet and already you made my week better. Happy Monday Dr Dray

[@DrDrayzday]

Happy Monday!

[@KonekoAye]

OMG, I was a BIG fan of that Aveeno Ultra-Calming Hydrating Gel years ago! I would alternate between that and the forming cleanser from the same line and I really really enjoyed them. But unfortunately I think Aveeno discontinued that product (or maybe just discontinued in Canada...) its REALLY hard to get my hand on them for a long period of time and now they disappeared entirely.... Was quite sad... But it was so nice to see that product in your routine from 2018 and made me smile that I picked and loved a product that you also used and enjoyed :)

[@georginaguzman4697]

Your skin ALWAYS looks amazing but for some reason your skin looks extra amazing in this video! Not sure how that’s possible... but it looks so bright and clear! It almost looks airbrushed lol. LOVE! Thanks for this routine

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks Ms Georgina!

[@kristen1324]

My skin has gone bonkers lately. I was in the drug store looking for a cleanser I thought would be beneficial and picked this one up. I thought to myself, "what would doctor Dray do?" I'm pleased to see I hit the nail on the head.

[@yvonnearnold8763]

I am so grateful for your channel! I have adopted your skin care routine and have seen the biggest improvement in my facial skin ( I have used expensive products in the past)- simple over the counter products. I have also adopted putting moisterizer after my bath on wet skin - OMG, that has made the biggest difference for my husband which has extremely dry skin. I have shared your channel with my 2 daughters and they too are adopting many of your recommendations. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!!

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@kaydavis6943]

Just found you a few months ago & have binge watched loads of videos! I’m amazed at how in depth your explanations are and so appreciate your advice. Have told all my friends & family about you. Thank you so much Dr Dray❤️

[@jessicahong8309]

I'm loving double cleansing with Albolene and then Equate version of CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser. I absolutely love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@raspberry9079]

Also cream for dipper rash with zink oxide are great creams for irritated skin. To me zink do the work, the next day my skin is calm...

[@NatalieG427]

If you use Purity Made Simple Cleanser by Philosophy, you don’t need an oil cleanser. Doctors have helped in this formula. It even removes waterproof mascara and makeup without stinging your eyes. It’s very gentle at the same time.

[@hannahstanden9670]

[@xxluciddreamingxx]

Hi everyone, I'm here just to thank for existing of this channel and great information that is provided for us here. I tried so far, many things, from affordable to expencive things, trying to get my skin to a better place. Until now, it was all hit and miss, or after awhile my skin doesnt tolerate those products and I was in despair, especially since rosacea showed up on my cheeks. I just wanna thank Dr Dray, for great advice and myself for trying out a simple skin care routine. My face is sooo much better now and I understand my skin so much better than before. Not to mention the financial side as well. Hada Labo and gentle cleansers, saved my face. Thank you.

[@jennifermoreiradinzey3552]

A good oil cleanser, not from the drugstore though, is the "boscia cosmetics makeup breakup cool cleansing oil" it does have a faint fragrance but it really works great at removing stubborn water proof mascara. You can find it at Ulta. It cost from $10-$32(depending of size) BUT you need the tiniest amount to remove your makeup.

[@Chezerhenlow]

Dr Dray would be amazing if you could do a video showing us where and when in a routine you would put actives like serums like Niacinamide, stuff like the ordinary serums. Xx

[@felixt.8354]

If you’re looking for a US drugstore oil cleanser, try the Eucerin Oil Body Wash! It’s fragrance free and affordable ($6). I use it to remove my sunscreen and I think it works gentle on the face even though it’s meant for the body.

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@ariklinkman293]

Hi thanks for all the great advise, can you do a video on how to take care of skin in the summer very hot climates like Florida 😆 thanks!

[@somehoe1309]

I loVE your videos, I'm learning about the skin in Biomedical at the moment so the fact that your videos are actually accurate makes me really happy.

[@laurens7145]

Just a heads up for anyone trying to avoid parabens-CVS makes a dupe for the Cerave cream formulated without parabens and phthalates, and it’s cheaper.

[@mvg94]

But I think it doesn't have the ceramides that cerave has.

[@kpow7576]

I really enjoy watching your skin care routines! Thank you :)

[@michelebeck8129]

I like cruelty free options. Do you have alternatives for Neutrogena and Aveeno?

[@DrDrayzday]

ceramedx (i reviewed awhile back)

[@jihyunlee4873]

I love the entire Burts Bees line of skin care. My favorites are the Intense Hydration and Brightening lines. They are cruelty-free and 99% natural. They're quite pricey but I have say that the quality is comparable and even superior to many of the established luxury brands. A lot of KBeauty is also cruelty-free so that's another good place to look. Interestingly Burts Bees model of skincare is patterned like KBeauty-- the emphasis on natural and botanical ingredients.

[@quailchow]

Thank you! So happy to see this new video from you. I always watch and rewatch all of your routine videos the most! Have a good week.

[@michelebellis3188]

Good Monday morning. Thank you for this video. So many tips to make nighttime skincare easy. I have so many things I was using that would make my head spin. I did go through some of my samples I got from previous boxes and found a sunscreen from Avene. I added this to my routine today and it burned my eyes like crazy. So happy that I came across your channel. Have a wonderful week and looking forward to your next video :)

[@DrDrayzday]

Hope the routine was helpful...keep it simple and Happy Monday!

[@kateo3209]

Yes, my skin did just that....I got too aggressive and my skin rebelled!! I dialed it way back and the phrase "less is more" has become my mantra during morning and evening skincare ritual time. :-) I purchased the Aveeno Ultra Calming cleanser today based off your last video! Thanks Doc!!

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@dianehutchinson9257]

A few weeks ago, I decided to give Differin a whirl. It has made my acne worse, which I expected in the first couple of weeks but no irritation to speak of, yay! My skin is preternaturally oily, though, so that's probably why? Excited to see if it works! Thanks for the great content!

[@DrDrayzday]

many people verbalize in the comments that the otc gel vehicle makes their skin appear oilier

[@sandran.9775]

Doctor Dray can you please make a video on different Water-Based Gels brands: clinique, belif, tatcha, and of course your favorites neutrogena & hada labo all make one. But it would be nince to know the difference ingredient wise between them :)

[@proudamerican1848]

Thank you for recommending the aveeno balm. I’ve been on tretinoin .05 for a month now and all of a sudden the cereve pm and all of my other (not as good) moisturizers were really stinging and burning. I Just applied the balm tonight after cleansing and it’s so much better. I think I also may need to stop the retin a for a couple of days till irritation subsides. Thank you again for all the great information you bring us. I don’t know how you do it with your busy life but I’m glad I found you. I love the blogs too. Just wish I lived near Costco.(I’m jealous).

[@DrDrayzday]

I love it! Glad to hear you enjoy it too Ms Cheryl

[@dannilikesreviews]

I totally feel that Differin helps my fine lines on my forehead , Between my brows and my smile lines. It also has made my skin look more even and smooth. It’s awesome stuff and I have zero irritation from it now after using it over a couple of years.:-)

[@bahariranpour9154]

can you do reviews of super popular/highend skincare like tatcha, drunk elephant, shiseido, Belief, etc? Like products that are the most famous/top rated on the Sephora website

[@sandran.9775]

Bahar Iranpour yes please for Tatcha :) especially the water gel cream. I heard good things about it

[@chrissy3742]

Yes, I'd like to hear a tatcha brand review 😊

[@nairabee245]

I think her whole shtick or channel purpose is to simplify skincare. To show that u don’t have to drop $75- hundred of dollars on a little drop of serum or oil or essence or whatever to have incredible skin. And they’re probably similar drugstore dupes that can get you the results u want and maybe even better and the things u should be looking for are in the active ingredients (AHA, BHA, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide etc). And also that sometimes simple works better. And I think brands that the ordinary prove that too. U don’t have to drop $80 on a one ounce bottle of oil or cream to have amazing skin. She saved us money, headache, and bypasses all the marketing stuff to what really works and what is over hyped price and marketing. She’s a minimalist when it comes to effective skincare, so I don’t see her reviewing products she never buys or would ever use in her everyday life. But maybe tho,🤷🏾‍♀️ idk.

[@teawtamarah]

I find the other channels mention not to use certain brands but you mention drug store brands which is great for those on a budget.

Dr Dray can you comment on protecting skin barriers for those of us who swim laps . How badly is the salt water chlorine ruining my skin?

[@DrDrayzday]

it is drying...to minimize rinse skin of chlorine water and apply a moisturizing cream to wet, rinsed skin and allow to dry ...swimming is good for your health

[@ginalaperuginanyc7641]

Leanne Mitchell That sounds like a great idea. But, personally, I’d use the Cerave ointment instead because it has ceramides, but it’s still about 50% petrolatum. :-)😊

[@lauraferrazzo1080]

Thank you!

[@Sara-mx3bt]

Good question! I'm in a warm therapy pool twice a week and I can smell the chlorine on my skin after a couple of showers!

[@nmernst]

I like the Aveeno Ultra Calming moisturizer in the tub a lot. It's really good too - occlusive but maybe not as much as the one you are using here. I used Differin and my skin didn't do great on it. I then switched to Tretinoin and my skin loves it :) I can see why some might like the Neutragena one more - it is a cream form rather than a gel.

[@Jessiemcd22]

I absolutely love the Aveeno ultra calming face wash, night cream and sunscreen.

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@cheryl7137]

Could you please give your thoughts on DMAE in skin care? Some studies say its good and some say its bad.

Thanks!

[@kc7389]

Dr. Dray thank you for your videos, your channel is spectacular and makes amateur consumers like me NOT fall for the unrealistic and non-helpful trends of the beauty industry. I'm dealing with mild acne, with post-acne hyper pigmentation, general hyper-pigmentation around forehead and cheeks. After viewing all your videos, I've come up with the following night time routine that feels good to the skin. Please can you see if the order is right? 1. Cleanser - CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser 2. BHA face wash - Zapzyt (2% salicylic acid) 3. Moisturizer - CeraVe Moisturizer (Ceramides) 4. Serum - Derma E Serum (Hyaluronic Acid) 5. Moisturizer - CeraVe Moisturizer (Ceramides) Twice a week, I also use "The Ordinary's AHA30%, BHA2% Peeling Solution". On those nights, I also apply sunscreen at night instead of a second layer of Moisturizer.

[@Sara-mx3bt]

I use coconut oil..takes my make up off really well, especially mascara and eye make up

Sara E. coconut oil can clog your pores pretty bad, which is why it’s better to use an oil based cleanser that is actually meant for your face

[@chainsawkitten3766]

I use it too, and have had no problems

[@Sara-mx3bt]

@@salomed.94 I'm 64 and have used all over my body for years, being older skin I dont have oil issues..how is mineral oil made for your skin? I'm not trying to be a jerk but what's the difference?

[@krkovach0715]

I was just about to ask you for a more intense moisturizer recommendation! I have dry skin from hypothyroidism, so I need all the moisture I can get. I love the Cerave tub moisturizer you recommended in a previous video for my body, but it just isn't enough for my face. I'm excited to try the Aveeno balm!

[@DrDrayzday]

let me know how it goes! HypoTH can really dry out the skin

[@ashleeshoemaker7693]

I would love for you to review rodan and fields. I buy and use exactly what you say (lol) and would love to have an argument for or against all of the R + F salesman out there.

[@yororo0820]

I completely agree with simplistic skin care routines! I used to have horrible acne on my jawline and neck, also all over my face, and I used all sorts of spot treatments and stuff, costed me a lot... when I was doing my military service, I couldn’t bring all of my skin care, so I brought a cleansing balm, face wash, hada labo lotion and a curèl moisturizer for the body (still used it on my face, I loved it) and of course, sunscreen in the morning My skin has improved sooooooo much!

Jericho Pascual Congratulations!😃 🎊 🍾🎈🎉

[@DrDrayzday]

so glad to hear!

[@jft6321]

For the past few months I've been using Almay makeup remover + foaming lotion cleanser (that actually doesn't foam at all) and it's one of the gentlest first/oil-based cleanser I've ever tried. I bet it's good for dry and mature skin too. It removes my light makeup well and it's probably good enough for people who just use sunscreen and want to skip double cleansing. The only problem is it can't remove mascara.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for sharing!

Thanks Ms Michelle

[@LNKBELLIS]

I just discovered your channel in my search for beauty information oriented to mature skin. I am a long time lover of mineral oil and DHC cleansing oil. I am looking forward to learning more from you.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks Ms Lisa

[@luisaperales7057]

Dr Dray thanks for another fantastic video! What is your favorite cleanser ever? Mine is the hada labo foaming cleanser. Abrazos

[@DrDrayzday]

i dont play favorites...i use what i have and avoid crap

[@janeburke147]

Hi Andrea,I’m using differin simply because we can’t get tretinoin over the counter.People are buying it off eBay,when they have no idea what it is,maybe one day it will be over the counter.Hugs from 🇬🇧 xxx

[@seechangenyc280]

Am I one in a gazillion that had an allergic reaction to the Aveeno cleanser with feverfew? At least my eye doctor was amused. Love the mineral oil idea. brilliant. Happy almost Happy New Year!

[@DrDrayzday]

No, you can definitely still have allergy to one of the ingredients, including feverfew, despite parthenolide removal...no product is 100% fool proof.

[@helenw1443]

I use grape seed oil as an oil cleanser. It is super cheap here in the UK too. Thanks for all the helpful tips.

[@DrDrayzday]

that is what is in the simple cleanser

[@kirsten4803]

I appreciate the tip for the aveeno balm for peeling. I just got a prescription for tretinoin, and I want to be very careful and prepared so I’ve been watching your videos for tips!

[@ljp9176]

Another great video - less is more for good Skin-Care!

[@meghanborrasca3900]

So excited to see the notification for your video pop up on my phone! As far as oil cleansing what is your take on using oils such as almond, jojoba, or argon oils? I’ve read on some blogs that different oils tend to be better for different skin needs such as redness, dryness, etc. I like the idea of using a simple oil like that or your suggested mineral oil versus the products out there laden with fragrance and other things...

[@DrDrayzday]

that information in blogs is largely made up, to be honest....mineral oil is inert and stable, so a safer choice in my opinion

[@doric161]

Thank you dr dray for teaching me how to take care of my acne prone oily skin. Especially about moisturizing it (not sure how many articles I've read to do the opposite). xoxoxo

[@DrDrayzday]

[@sofiavazquez8944]

Can we appreciate that she took the time to make references. It truly shows her dedication to help us all , and make sure the information is scientifically proven.

[@Brittfawn]

Just tried out putting lotion on wet skin. I used to have a in shower lotion I loved in hs but the brand stopped making it so I ended up going back to regular lotion over the years. My skin has been so dry on my body recently and I can already tell a big difference! My legs were ashy every time I got out the shower but this method is already making a big difference. I also only used soap where I thought needed it so my legs and arms were save from that. It’s definitely an adjustment for my face as I can’t stand a wet face but I will adjust. The only thing I can’t get myself to do is to take a Luke warm shower...no I LOVE hot showers it’s sooo relaxing for me. I did cool it down when I rinsed my face and hair but otherwise I’m still taking hot showers. I realize this is probably contributing to my dry skin but I can’t help it lol. Maybe one day but today was not that day. Thank you so much for making me realize that all these steps to skin care you see every where on youtube are completely unnecessary. I realized recently that the toner and serum I was using did squat so it’s nice to hear that I was right. Back to two products twice a day feels so nice compared to the four-five I was using. What a waste of money! Lol

[@kurtis3971]

This has been my best summer ever since I started watching your videos and follow your advice....my skin is finally clear at least 80% of dark patches...and also my scalp looks and feels clean and fresh since I started using vanicream z bar. Thank you for all your help. Sorry for my English.😘

[@jackiemarsh2470]

Love your video as always!! Thank you so much!! The video was so interesting! Please enjoy the rest of your day!!!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks! you 2 ms jackie!

[@janetn9942]

I use grapeseed oil or coconut to remove my mascara and undereye concealer, then coconut oil to break up and remove my face makeup (do this twice usually) , and then use a creamy cleanser , then an alcohol free toner I’m 41 this October 😢

[@nataliagarfias6878]

Hey Dr. Dray! I love your videos, everything is explained in a medical manner yet they are easy to understand. I like to research on products I consume and apply onto my skin and that was actually how I found your channel. It would be awesome if you could do a video on korean and/or japanese skincare, perhaps the 'cult favorites'?

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@missmessjess4540]

Love the info! Do you have any masks/sheet masks you recommend for very dry mature skin? There are so many clay masks on the market, but I've never seen you suggest anything like that...thanks!

[@melissahenson8990]

Thanks for the mineral oil tip.I've been using the Kose Softymo and I love it.

[@DrDrayzday]

[@HereDiianas]

Hi Dr dray I was wondering if you could make a video about how main ingredients you talk about are biodegradable or not. I get that some will not care especially when you have strong skin issue. But I don't. I am not looking for magic ingredients and I don't have skin diseases I just want to maintain my skin with effective ingredients while not damaging the planet if possible. I have tried by myself but It s difficult to find those information online and of course brands don't talk about it. Thanks!

[@DrDrayzday]

there are upwards of 10, 000 ingredients ....minimizing the skin care routine is the best way to put the least out there in the environment

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Hey Dr Dray! Am binge watching your videos and vlogs all day and probably tonight too! I enjoy them more than you! You are the best at what you do! 💕❤️🦃🧙‍♀️

[@crystalsmith8102]

Have you tried the Simple brand cleansing oil? I highly recommend for a drugstore oil cleanser. No fragrance & grapeseed oil based. Removes everything & rinses clean!

[@mimitee2321]

So helpful, interesting and informative. Love these videos. Thank you.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks!

[@moniquelopez8403]

Do you know if ones skincare routine would be different whether you wear a lot of makeup and don’t wear any at all? New subscriber! I’ve been watching SO many skincare videos and a lot of them seem like they have very little knowledge and just use what they use and have no back up on the reasons why those products work. Thank you!! ❤️

[@DrDrayzday]

no...the important thing is that you take the makeup off (and dont just use one of those lame wipes, they are inadequate and problematic) which can be achieved w/ this cleansing routine

[@leahdamron2176]

I thought that mineral oil had a large molecule and the problem is when your done cleansing that molecule is left behind and don't allow the next step you take such as if you use an acid, vitamin c or even retinol the won't absorb properly. I avoid mineral oil before I take these step but do use it to lock in everything else as a FINAL step sometimes...

[@DrDrayzday]

no, not a problem

[@theredderthebetter1]

I always enjoy your routine videos. 🙂
