Face Basting

[@tamramock9125]

I know she probably won't see this comment but I thank her everyday for sharing this,it's truly changed my skin. I unfortunately don't have the money to see a dermatologist so her videos in general are helpful but skin basting is a literally miracle for me especially since entering my late 30s my skin has definitely been on the dryer side and having learned this has made such a difference in my skin and my confidence. I can't begin to thank her enough. P.s. it also helped my lips when idk why but I literally woke up with severe redness and irritation and just using the diaper cream it was completely healed in 3 days.

Aww so happy it is working for you! 🫶

If your skin is dry, avoid those that contain absorbent ingredients such as *talc, mica* or *kaolin clay* . They do a wonderful job applied on wounds that exude liquid but it defeats the purpose of face basting 😉 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@21972012145525]

Exactly. You'll be drier and flakier

[@mmmmmmolly]

Can you recommend some brand from french/european pharmacies? I tried a random brand, then Sudocrem, and both made me wake up with extremely crusty eyes, and i didn't feel like it helped my skin at all. Idk if I'm sensitive to it or if our brands are different.

[@elainewoosley3488]

My mother was from Germany and always used PENATEN cream. Her sisters would send it to her. It was magical cream, it cured any rash, any sunburn, any wound, any pimple, etc. It wasn't until I was an adult and the internet was born that I started ordering it online and found that it was a zinc oxide cream. Now I am 64 and still use it to this day.

[@PeanutNougatine]

I'm italian, i use "pasta fissan al pantenolo" (the white box one) and it's insanely great. I think you can find it in France too

Hey just wondering why should we avoid if we live in humid areas?

[@SaphiraTessa]

I wanna know too. Also when is it considered dry and when is it considered humid? 🤔

[@grrrgrl101]

Because it shouldn’t be necessary the same way it is in dry areas. Gulfport, MS is much more humid than El Paso, TX.

[@anemptyspace]

​@@SaphiraTessahumid would be over 50-55% air humidity, 35-45% is the ideal range and under 30% it's dry. You can buy/order a simple little hygrometer, place it outside and monitor it over the course of a day. Generally, places with a lot of water or greenery nearby are high humidity areas, and places in high altitudes or inland are dry.

[@SaphiraTessa]

@anemptyspace thanks! Our weather forecast says the humidity range (right now it's a shopping 95%, but it's raining and cold). I was wondering where the line was, so thanks

[@caterpillar9512]

Thank you for specifying its bad for humid climates... i was considering this but now i know not to ! 😊

Why is it bad in humid weather?

[@nicoleoconnell6967]

Yes why is it bad? I live in Northeast Florida and it's humid in the summer but not so much ( at least to me) the rest of the year

[@Autumnstorm79]

I use “Ihle’s Paste” a 25% Zinc Oxide and is used in many compounds made for the skin in the pharmacies I’ve worked in. Never, ever thought to use it for my face and what a difference. At 45 I’ve struggled with a red face my entire life …and no foundation has helped cover. But this cream is the best thing since sliced bread. Thanks Dr. Idress for the recommendation 😊

[@td2222]

I googled your product and they say it even works as a sunscreen. Thank you for sharing ❤ ps: did you mean Ihle's paste?

[@pooja1902]

It would be really helpful if you could create a video on how to remove a tan and explain how long it typically takes to return to your original skin colour. Additionally, it would be useful to know which areas of the body usually show our original colour, especially for someone who has a range of skin tones in their body.

[@21972012145525]

You have to use sunscreen...

[@little_m.]

Basic skincare - facewah, moisturiser, *sunscreen*

[@pooja1902]

I have a basic skincare routine that includes a face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen, which I use regularly. I have been following this routine for several years. Additionally, I started applying chemical peels every two weeks for the past few months, but I haven't seen any improvement.

[@little_m.]

@@pooja1902 Use vitamin c/ niacinamide/ alpha arbutin. It'll take time tho. But make sure your sunscreen is giving you enough protection. I recently changed my sunscreen and I can see improvement. Additionally, inner care matters too. Make sure to eat balanced diet and waking up at early morning helps a lot. Vitamin c + a good sunscreen do amazing job in brightening!

[@pooja1902]

Thank you, @little_m. I will try to incorporate this into my routine. Is there a way to find our original color that is not affected by any tan?

[@apila1070]

This is actual lifesaver ❤ also I wanna take this moment to thank you for this AND lip basting

Hello what do you think of dr Sam’s flawless line it’s a skincare brand targeted to acne prone people.

[@bindib352]

I’m in the UK, would that be classed as ‘dry’ conditions. I use this technique once a week for my type 1 rosacea. What results should I expect? Thank you.

[@ALISONLISMORE]

UK based also, I tried with Sudocream but made my skin red & sore, I think it’s because it’s fragranced - what did you use ? Expect super soft skin & a skin barrier that will love you 😊❤

[@bindib352]

@ I use Fred & Flo Fragrance Free Nappy Cream from Tesco. Just £1.50 for 150g. Worth a try. I have no reaction to it and my skin definitely feels soft afterwards. Wondering if it would help with the flushing though?

[@themayorreturns8686]

I've been using the Nuage zinc and caster oil cream from home and bargains with middling success since it just sinks in immediately no matter how much I use 💀

[@21972012145525]

She has recommended topical ivermectin in the past for rosacea. Also sulfur is good too

[@ALISONLISMORE]

[@OopToop-u3u]

Got poison ivy while pretending to be a lumberjack 😢. Been using the hydrocortisone cream with zinc and it works much better than the version without zinc. I'm not a Derm, but something about the zinc seems to help the dry, damaged skin heal much more quickly than the hydrocortisone alone.

Do you apply it after your moisturizer or after the serum?

Hello, I need your help. I have a very sensitive skin and everything like HA, Niacinamide, vit C, AHA or just any chemical exfoliating causes me barrier damage. Only thing that works for me squalane. I have never used any Retinol but want but I'm 100% sure it won't work for me. So can give any solution for my skin type? Especially for anti aging.

The Ordinary makes retinol in squalane, starting at very low concentration (0.2%). They also have derivatives (granactive retinoids) if even that is too much for you.
