Moisturizing on wet face has CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE. Literally. I already look young but this has literally shaved 5 years off. It’s like I’ve been trying to fight my skin my whole life and now I’m giving it what it needs to function properly.

[@Afternoonsun-c9y]

Wet face as in damp or wet ?? Should one apply it Right after splashing water on your face ?? Like literally after 0.2 seconds ?? and applying it Should you feel liquid water in face ??

[@BuzzRatchetGaming]

@@Afternoonsun-c9y yes. Dr dray has videos explaining how this is better. While for most it won't shave 5 years off, but it helps prevent transepidermal water loss from the skin. With that said, don't go out of your way to splash water on your skin. Only do it when your skin is going to be wet from cleansing.

I just started to moisturise on damp face. My face feels comfortable and not oily anymore and pimples heal faster! All this while I have been moisturising on dry face, my bad. Many2 thanks for great infos dr! 😚

[@humanormachine2936]

Good grief, your videos are a breath of fresh air. I have never truly understood why people felt it necessary or beneficial to apply so many different products to their faces. It always seemed like a lot of unnecessary steps, but I still did it because some KZbin beauty guru said it was great, and I guess I enjoyed the feeling of pampering myself. I always knew it was excessive and that if you're using the right products to begin with, you shouldn't need to layer ten different ones. The skincare industry uses so many deceptive and annoying marketing tactics and I'm completely sick of it. I find myself needing to avoid scrolling through reddit skincare threads and watching skincare channels on youtube because I always get sucked back into buying stuff I don't need.

[@barbaral.h.1717]

I never watched them because basically those girls don't know Jack about facial care they younger then me and since I know what worked already I used hyalaronic acid before they were born it was no revelation to me.

[@tinahuttner7280]

So agree,I’ve seen those vids on “go to bed w so and so” it’s pretty much a marketing ploy,to make you think you need all those products😒

[@crimbleland]

Same!! This is me

[@MaggieFrett]

Dr Dray. I have been following you for a month and would like to thank your for sharing your knowledge. My skin became extremely dry due to menopause, nothing was helping. I decided to follow your cleansing and moisturizing advice and was very satisfied with Neutrogena extra dry skin hydroboost and Ceravé products (dry skin cleanser and cream). I decided to substitute Hada Labo skin plumping gel for Neutrogena extra dry skin hydroboost and Hada Labo did not give me enough hydration. In short, the winner, in my opinion, in deep hydration, is Neutrogena extra dry skin hydroboost, followed by Ceravé cream for dry skin.

I remember my first appointment with a dermatologist to try to treat my acne. I told her I'd like to be able to use a sunscreen daily, but they always made my acne worse. She looked at me like I was nuts and asked why I would want to use sunscreen every day. She also prescribed some very painful and harsh cleansing pads that ended up making my acne worse. My second dermatologist was muchbetter and more understanding. I'm so glad for dermatologists like you who know what they are talking about.

Even though they are emulsions, it's like a light lotion that moisturizes so nicely. The ingredients are just wow and the price too. Their aloe gel 50 and their aloe gel 80 is also so nice and moisturizing (use before moisturizer)! Their hyaluronic acid toner is popular and really wonderful! Honestly guys give it a try!

Gotta tell you Dr. Dray, your tip of putting moisturizer on a wet face is really helping me in these early weeks of 0.1% tretinoin. It is cutting back on the dryness significantly.

I have been using a Korean seven or 10 step in the morning and maybe at night maybe not get it done so I can three step program for over two years. The one thing I have noticed all I'm doing is adding layer and layer of hydration and actually pumping up the skin and I like the effect. Plus I like the ritual of taking care and doing something that's a way from my grandkids and stuff that I can do just on my own. Just to pamper my self.. my 13 year old grand daughter starting to get to a little interested in skincare so just getting her to use SPF and stuff like that and she has noticed that she's not breaking out as much if she actually washes her face from makeup and stuff like that after the day. The biggest one is to get her to use SPF and I'm almost there except for in the winter she doesn't like to use that keep on telling her yes you do. I am 56 years old and ever since I was 13 or 14 I have used sunscreen. back then that was made for the body on my face and I've been doing that for a lot of years and I like the affects. I don't have very much sun damage. Plus I never like to bathe out in the sun like my sister did she loved it and she's looks a lot older than I do and we're only two years apart. Spf is really the best anti aging you can do.

I know this video is old, but I want to share a story (terrible experience) which literally underscores Dr. Dray's message regarding the importance of making the application of sunscreen a daily habit. I had begun using actives, specifically TO's AHA/BHA peel a few year's ago, prior to making the use of sunscreen a daily habit, and my daughter called me outside really quick (we were out of town). Long story short, my husband and I ended up lost walking in circles for nearly two hours after making one wrong turn. Because we didn't plan on going anywhere, neither of us had our phone's either. Point is, I now have a 2x4 inch scar from sun damage clear across my forehead - not cute. I've worn and reapplied sunscreen daily ever since.

I've heard you say a few times to leave the water on your skin after washing before you moisturize for dry skin. A few questions about that: what if you have very hard water that tends to dry out your skin even more? Also, I've heard that when you leave the water on your skin, as it evaporates it tends to take too much away from the outer layer. What say you?

[@skinme2340]

Don’t give up, it’s a journey to find the right one!

[@sharptooth8682]

@@skinme2340 thanks! btw, how long have you been using the product now?

[@skinme2340]

2 months more or less, but I also using Hada Laba white gel, spf 50 pa++++. These 2 are my way to go

[@sharptooth8682]

@@skinme2340 that's great. right now, i only care about not looking oily. i've ordered the laroche posay online and hopefully i will have the effect same as you on my oily skin.

Well happy Friday! Loved this video. It helped me so much. Putting moisturizer on wet skin has so helped me. It's a BEAUTIFUL day in Piedmont SC. So hot today for Dec 1st. And I can't thank you enough for teaching me how to layer sunscreens. I've actually taught other people to do it. They always have the same response....I didn't know I could layer sunscreens like I do serums lol. Still burning this awesome $5 Citrus Burst candle. Ah, to die for. Take care

[@DrDrayzday]

so glad to hear!

CeraVe in the tub messed up my face so bad. Still recovering from it. Love it for the body though.

[@PB-xr6yi]

Try the lotion

[@PB-xr6yi]

It’s probably the petroleum in it. The lotion is free of this

[@abovetheclouds1771]

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks!

[@abovetheclouds1771]

Dr Dray. I checked & spelled Eucalyptus correct & is still shows misspelled.

[@winnermatt1180]

I wish there was a 3x speed on KZbin because long videos are so hard to watch. Great videos, but hard to watch.

[@lydiatheglimmermaid]

I listen to them while driving

[@mcqueen35]

There is. Go on the options video.

[@lianapullman4967]

Is there any sunscreen that you can apply over your makeup without having to redo your whole face while at work. I enjoy and respect everything you suggest.

[@penelopebutton9323]

Hi Dr Dray, great info! My dermatologist also emphasizes the use of sun screen and says it will protect you from computer screens for those that work on computers all day. That was new to me

[@DrDrayzday]

to a certain extent some can

[@nancyb.2951]

Just an amazing amount of thorough and practical information in ALL your videos. Thank you!

Hey Andrea! Could you please make a video on eyebrows care and the best way to grow them out the healthy way, whether the myths about castor oil are true or would you recommend a growth serum product instead? Thanks a lot. :)

[@vanessaclark4415]

Ms. Springfield Yes🤗 I would also appreaciate it very much... also you look so beautiful Dr. Dray 😍😍

[@ashb5073]

Yes. I would like your opinion as well.

[@ughthiskiss]

CASTOR OIL I have been using a $6.00 castor oil from my local drug store that works just as well as Latisse. Never an irritation, i use a Cutip to apply on both my eyebrows and eyelashes, sometimes in the evening and sometimes before mascara in the morning. The results are amazing.

[@vanessaclark4415]

Yeah, I've been doing the same for 2 weeks now and I can see the growth already, although it's not anything special. I'm aiming for 3 months results.

[@Textbook000]

Coconut oil and castor oil works for me!

[@amixeblu]

I also use a hyaluronic acid underneath my moisturizer. I am 45 and you wouldn't say that I was. It is an awesome ingredient. Took about a month to see it plump out my fine lines though, so if you start using it, give it time. My mom is about to turn 72 and she uses it as well. I am extremely dry, she has normal skin. It works for the both of us, very well in fact.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for sharing this and happy birthday to mom :)

[@WA-pd2cc]

That's so cool! Which brand is it?

[@amixeblu]

Thanks Dr Dray! Her b-day is the 13th. :)

[@amixeblu]

W A, I currently am still using the dropper bottle from The Ordinary (it's good, I'd recommend it). If that's done I have (and have tested) a new set of dropper bottles (I stocked up) from my local Aldi's. They had it there on offer, with nothing but HA in it (!) as well as a moisturizer with HA, which I also got (it's all for underneath my regular moisturizer, I am just extremely dry, so need the double layer). But I would definitely recommend The Ordinary products. I'd have bought that again if my Aldi's hadn't beat me to it (and it was easier to obtain). I finished a moisturizing factors + HA from The Ordinary too, and loved that as well!

[@MysticMavi]

Also, thank you so much for the recommendations for oily skin. Gonna check those out. Binge watching all of your videos:)

[@carolynlamanilao8958]

This is so useful Dr.Dray especially when you talked about moisturizer first.then retinol at night time. Now my skin can tolerate the retinol I'm using. Thank you so much.❤️❤️

[@johng7546]

Hi dr dray! May i ask on what moisturizer would you recommend to a person with an oily and acne prone skin who lives in a humid weather?

[@0missmannequin0]

did you ever find something that works?

[@emilyhamilton8141]

I love the cerave moisturizing cream thank you for suggesting it. I’ve been using it a while now and my skin has really improved. I have rosacea and I think it helps reduce redness. The vanicream cleanser I really love too

[@DrDrayzday]

so happy to hear Ms Emily!

I have super sensitive skin, I use the spf from la Roche Posay.... it has never made me break out or inflame me. It’s really light absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy.

Hello Dr. Dray, I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate your informative videos that are backed up by science. I only discovered you yesterday on KZbin, but I am absolutely addicted to all of your videos! I really like your videos where you go into drug stores and evaluate the products as well as these Q and As. Again, thank you for uploading videos continuously and really, everything that you do! I also enjoy your vlogs as well!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks so much!

[@analynbalba2836]

Dr. Dray, your videos are all really awesome... love them! Have you tried nature republic's aloe vera gel? Would you recommend that to moisturize skin? Thanks much!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks! yes, and i liked it

[@nadakaba7748]

Dr Dray what’s your opinion about their ginseng royal foam cleanser? Thanks 😊

[@VTECHtheDJ]

But if you put your makeup on for the day, you obviously can’t reapply sunscreen all day. What is your advice on that?

[@zakh1579]

Doesn't the moisturizer get diluted by water if applied when the skin if fairly damp?

[@fabricatedreality8218]

Do you wet your face before adding serum and/or treatments as well? I add my moisturizer last so I was wondering how we should go about that.
